First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1215 - Devoured!



Chapter 1215 – Devoured!

In the blink of an eye, the bronze war spear swathed in immortal qi broke through the formation and shot out of the abyss.

The snow-white radiance of its tip illuminated the landscape.

Terrifying tribulation light spread out, sending the Servants of the Dao flying back.

Nothing could stand in its way!

These World Kings couldn’t take so much as a single blow from this unparalleled weapon of another era.

“Whatever you do, don’t kill him!” That excited voice rang out once more. “Just suppress him! That bitch sealed me for countless years. I don’t want to end up empty-handed!”

Clang!

The spear seemed to understand him. It produced a clear, heaven-shaking hum and immediately slashed at Su Yi.

Su Yi swung his sword without hesitation.

Sword qi burst forth, bringing with it the surging power of chaos.

But beneath the spear’s power, this slash proved no more durable than a soap bubble. It exploded with a bang.

Su Yi was forced explosively back, and the spear’s power suppressed and destroyed the entire stretch of heaven and earth. He felt as if he were sinking into the mud.

Clang!

A waterfall of tribulation light poured down, and a clear hum spread out like a wave. The spear arced through the sky and attacked once more.

“It’s over!” Lu Yan had only just arrived. When he watched this play out, his heart sank, and he felt a chill in his hands and feet.

He’d witnessed the terrifyingness of that mysterious catastrophe. As mighty as Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings were, even they were instantly reduced to ash.

And now, that spear had set its sights on Su Yi! How could he possibly have any chance of survival?

The spear was descending through the skies, releasing a waterfall of tribulation light. It had suppressed Su Yi completely.

But Su Yi didn’t move in the slightest. A complicated look appeared on his face.

“Go and come back quickly,” he whispered to himself.

An illusory Dao sword shot from between his eyes.

Bang!!!

The tribulation light filling the skies exploded. .𝒎

The suppressed spear suffered a terrifying backlash, and it was sent flying back, trembling and wailing in midair.

Lu Yan was stunned. “!!!”

The Servants of the Dao were shocked too. He blocked that terrifying war spear?

“What’s going on?” That same voice emanated from the bronze box sealing that slender skeletal hand, but it was no longer excited. Rather, it sounded flabbergasted.

Heaven and earth were suddenly deathly silent. All of creation dimmed.

It was as if the originally turbulent seas were now under absolute suppression. They sank into a strange, frozen state.

The sea didn’t so much as ripple. Even the devastated skies and turbulent air currents froze in place.

Heaven and earth were still, like a strange scroll painting.

And in this strange scroll painting, an illusory sword hovered beneath the dome of heaven.

Its shape was like chaos, impossible to describe.

Seven illusory chains were wrapped around it.

Its aura was inscrutable and mysterious, but not overly terrifying. It even seemed simple and reserved.

Yet when they gazed upon it, the onlookers’ hearts trembled, as if a silent suppression were bearing down on their souls. It was suffocating.

Clang!

The spear rumbled explosively, the first to break the deathly silence.

Its surface burst with a waterfall of immortal qi. Tribulation light surged, and its momentum was immeasurably more powerful than before.

But its next move left the onlookers tongue-tied.

The spear ripped through space and shot into the distance.

It fled without a fight!!

Everyone who saw this was practically startled out of their wits.

What could possibly scare that terrifying spear so badly?

Everyone was stunned, except for Su Yi. His expression shifted subtly.

The spear couldn’t flee.

An invisible power sealed the surrounding space on all sides.

The spear that had just escaped by tearing through space was frozen, like a fish that had unwittingly jumped onto a floating piece of ice.

The spear’s tribulation light shattered, layer after layer after layer.

Its immortal qi was suppressed, forced back into the spear one inch at a time.

In the end, the twenty-foot bronze spear could no longer move. All it could do was buzz and wail, almost as if it was mourning.

Off in the distance, that illusory sword hovered there silently. It never created any kind of disturbance.

It seemed utterly ludicrous; the onlookers felt as if the sword were an unsurpassed sovereign gazing coldly down on the futile struggles of its prey…

Then——

The illusory Dao Sword attacked.

Its edge tapped the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The twenty-foot spear exploded, inch by inch, and transformed into dazzling, overflowing bundles of immortal light.

The sword was like a diner using his knife to carve a fatty, enticing chunk of meat into manageable bits.

A whirlpool of light suddenly appeared on the illusory sword’s hilt, creating a powerful suction.

The bundles of immortal light manifested of the spear dissolved into the vortex, like a clay ox melting into the sea, devoured completely.

Not even a drop remained!

Everyone present was so stunned that their jaws practically fell off. They were stunned completely out of their wits.

Someone had once used that very spear to launch a catastrophe, shattering the Laws of the entire Dark and Gold Star Realm. They’d wiped its most dazzling, resplendent era from history.

Even now, the spear’s power was easily enough to threaten the lives of World Kings!

Over the years, over a hundred Servants of the Dao had watched over these forbidden grounds, but only thirteen of them still lived.

The fallen Servants of the Dao had all been killed by that spear!

When the spear re-entered the world, all of them felt a strong sense of despair, as if the skies were falling.

Who’d have thought the terrifying, malevolent war spear would be defeated?

And like prey too pathetic to withstand even a single blow at that. It was easily suppressed, minced, and devoured!

Who wouldn’t have been shocked?

Who could have imagined this?

Even Su Yi, despite anticipating this result, was surprised to see the spear devoured like food. Furthermore, he found it… a pity.

After all, the spear was a limitlessly terrifying treasure, a vicious weapon not of this era!

Naturally, it was a shame to just devour it.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, that illusory Dao sword seemed to have eaten its fill. It blurred into a beam of light and shot back in through Su Yi’s eyes.

Heaven and earth were silent. All around, no one spoke.

They just stood there in a daze.

An indescribable astonishment spread through their hearts.

A complete and utter catastrophe had been averted with such ease, just like that!

All of them felt as if they were dreaming. It didn’t seem quite real.

The man in warrior robes was visibly dazed.

“All these years, we’ve stood guard here. We dared not hope for anything so lavish as defeating the spear completely, yet now… it’s been destroyed, just like that.”

“If that fellow Daoist had appeared during that catastrophe… could he have rewritten the history of the Dark and Gold Star Realm? Would its Laws never have been destroyed? Would the experts of antiquity have lived to accomplish more legendary feats?” someone murmured.

“As Servants of the Dao, protecting this place to prevent the spear’s escape has been our one and only mission. Now, it’s suddenly been destroyed, so why do I feel so… lost?” someone said with a complicated look on their face.

……All of this seemed far too unbelievable. The Servants of the Dao couldn’t possibly calm down so quickly.

“I wonder what Venerate Flooding Heavens would think if he were here to see this…” Lu Yan was stunned too, and he couldn’t calm down.

“No! Impossible! Our Divine Tribulation War Spear can slay even demons and gods. It can destroy entire worlds!! How could it have been devoured like this!?” The voice within the bronze box shrieked at the top of his lungs.

By now, how could Su Yi fail to understand who this voice belonged to? The mysterious Luo Yao had sealed a portion of Qin Chongxu’s soul within her severed hand!

When Su Yi saw the remnant soul go mad with anger, he couldn’t help but laugh. A wisp of soul, that’s all. A sealed one, too. And he seriously thought he could borrow the spear’s power to suppress me and seize the secrets of reincarnation? He must be out of his mind.

Su Yi transmitted his will into the box. “Old-timer, wait until I’ve proven my Dao and become a World King. I’ll settle the score with you then.”

Within Luo Yao’s skeletal hand, Qin Chongxu’s remnant soul instantly fell silent. He didn’t utter so much as a peep. .

It seemed he knew that disaster was imminent!

Su Yi looked around and, without any further delays, turned to leave.

He’d wandered here on impulse, strolling casually over the Sea of Chaos. His original goal had been to clear his mind, as he hoped to undergo tribulation today.

He never would have thought he’d encounter a storm like this.

Now that he’d quelled this disturbance, he naturally wasn’t willing to linger any longer.

It was just a pity that the Sword of the Nine Hells had completely devoured the war spear…

In truth, the moment the spear shot out of the abyss, Su Yi sensed the long-dormant Sword of the Nine Hells awaken of its own accord. Furthermore, it seemed excited!

Like a shark that had caught a whiff of blood. It couldn’t suppress its hunger!

It was then that Su Yi recalled a portion of the Temple Master’s memories.

Once, a long time ago, the Temple Master explored a mysterious hidden ground, in which he randomly discovered a pool of chaotic demonic qi.

A black divine lotus bloomed in the pond.

The tip of a black sword with a malevolent aura jutted from the flower’s center.

It was only an inch long.

The Temple Master found it strange, but just as he was about to pluck the black lotus, it underwent a sudden transformation.

The lotus’s stem became the sword’s blade, and the roots became a hilt. The leaves transformed into Dao markings and fused into the sword, while the flower clustered around the sword’s tip.

In the blink of an eye, the black lotus transformed into a Dao sword. Its baleful demonic aura was monstrous and terrifying, and its natural Dao markings were full of taboo, calamitous energy fluctuations.

Practically simultaneously, the Sword of the Nine Hells reacted. In an unprecedented move, it appeared of its own accord, smoothly suppressing and devouring the black lotus sword!

That was the Temple Master’s first time seeing the Sword of the Nine Hells take such initiative.

Afterward, the Temple Master inferred something. The Sword of the Nine Hells most likely needed to absorb power to replenish itself!

Furthermore, the treasures it saw fit to actively go after were obviously no ordinary divine artifacts!

After reaching this conclusion, the Temple Master sought out some of the rarest, most extraordinary treasures of the stars to test his theory.

But without exception, none of them piqued the Sword of the Nine Hells’ interest. They got no reaction whatsoever.

As if… in the sword’s eyes, the rarest, most extraordinary treasures of the stars weren’t even worthy of becoming its food….

As Su Yi thought back to this, he recalled how conflicted he felt when he first faced the spear. His expression was a bit inscrutable.

For the Sword of the Nine Hells to view it as food was unquestionable proof that this spear of another era was an utterly extraordinary treasure. It might even have been unique.

But that was exactly what made Su Yi feel so conflicted. He knew that in the end, the spear was fated to become the Sword of the Nine Hells’ food…
