Chapter 1403 – My Heart Is Like a Sword, Suppressing the Heavens
“Has Fellow Daoist Su been possessed by an expert of the Immortal Realm?” Mo Qingchou’s starry eyes widened, and her smooth skin quivered.
Earlier, it had seemed as if Su Yi were completely doomed and injured to the brink of death. It was hard not to worry on his behalf.
But now, he seemed like an entirely different person! His strength had become unimaginably terrifying, and he was tyrannical and unrestrained. He slew immortal avatars of will as if it were no more difficult than removing something from his pocket!
“True, living immortals no longer exist in this world. Don’t forget; even here in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone, immortal revenants have yet to truly emerge,” murmured Mo Yuanshan.
He too was astonished.
It was true that immortals no longer existed in this world.
Even immortal revenants were ultimately just soul bodies, neither fully human nor ghost.
Yet now, Su Yi displayed power so terrifying that it made even heaven and earth tremble. It was no wonder Mo Qingchou suspected he’d been possessed by an immortal.
But that obviously wasn’t possible. Immortal revenants still couldn’t enter the world!
Something strange was afoot here.
“No—!”
Suddenly, a terrified shriek echoed throughout the battlefield.
Su Yi turned his sword, and several hundred feet away, that sultry beauty’s avatar of will was destroyed before she could even attempt to dodge.
The entire battlefield was instantly in chaos. Countless people watched in terror and dread, then retreated further back.
“How is this possible?! Even if he’s borrowing an immortal’s power, it shouldn’t be possible to display such strength in the present day!” Hong Jiuchong’s eyes bulged, and his courage wavered. He was completely unable to accept this.
A full sixteen immortal avatars of will had entered the fray!
This was the strongest card at their disposal. They’d assumed this would be enough to take Su Yi down with ease.
Who’d have thought that even immortal avatars of will would be as threatening as a bunch of eggs thrown at a city wall?
Who wouldn’t have been surprised?
Boom!
Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval. Three immortal avatars of will joined forces, setting themselves ablaze as they unleashed their strongest attacks. They were aiming for mutual destruction.
There was no denying that this approach was terrifying and ruthless.
But Su Yi didn’t so much as spare them a single glance. It was to the point that he couldn’t even be bothered to use his sword. His robes fluttered around him as he pressed down on the air.
Ten thousand feet away, the skies caved in, burying the three immortal avatars of will and reducing them to powder.
“Just who are you!?” another immortal avatar shouted, full of dread and terror.
The crowd was wondering the same thing. That’s right. Just who is this person?
“Who am I…?” Su Yi said softly, his eyes shining with reminiscence, as if he were recalling his days on the battlefield and years wandering beneath the heavens, sword in hand.
Back then, he was unbridled and domineering. He’d once bathed the heavens in a sea of blood, fighting and killing until no one else dared to proclaim themselves sovereign. He was despotic, cold, and cruel. His sword had left behind too many vengeful souls to count!
Some had cursed him as a tyrant.
Others had taken him as their sovereign and master.
Still others still had seen him as… a demon god!
Su Yi recalled it all, then laughed. His laughter was contemptuous, unbridled, and entirely fearless.
Alas…
All of that was in the past. None of his former glory remained. As his laughter neared its end, it was tinged with desolation and loneliness.
“Me? I’m just a sword cultivator with no place to call home…” Su Yi whispered.
It was as if he were summarizing his life.
He’d accepted it, and he could look past it all. His former glory and accomplishments were now nothing but ancient history, not even worth discussing. Casting aside these superficial glories and returning to his fundamental nature, he was ultimately… no more than a sword cultivator!
Boom!
When he saw that Su Yi was distracted, an immortal avatar of will seized the opportunity to attack, filling the sky with immortal light.
“There’s not much time left. I can’t let you live,” Su Yi laughed. His pearly white teeth caught the light of the heavens, stinging the eyes.
He put away the Sword of the Human Realm and waved his sleeves.
Bang!!!
The immortal avatar of will was still mid-charge when he exploded like paper mache.
Now, only two avatars of will remained on the battlefield.
The massacre they’d just witnessed left the surviving combatants in a panic. Their will to fight had completely crumbled.
“Run!”
“Hurry up and flee!”
Terrified shrieks rose and fell throughout the surrounding area in waves. Su Yi’s enemies included over a hundred Cloud Soaring Realm old monsters of various factions, but now, they were scared out of their wits, scampering every which way in fright.
When Su Yi saw this, he threw back his head, laughed uproariously, and raised his hand into the air. “The Dao is as lofty as the heavens, but my heart is like a sword. It can suppress the heavens until they’re just three feet tall!”
Boom!
A radiant streak of sword qi exploded into being beneath the dome of heaven, like floodwaters bursting through a dam and pouring onto the world below.
Wherever this sword qi passed, the scampering Cloud Soaring Revenants were enveloped and annihilated before they knew what had hit them.
Like lamps extinguished in a raging windstorm!
“We admit defeat!!!!” someone shouted as they gave in to despair.
“Dammit! Why is this happening?” someone shrieked. They’d just discovered that the entire area was enveloped in the power of the Dao of the Sword. No matter where they tried to flee, every possible escape route had been sealed off. There was nowhere to run.
It was as if heaven and earth were a cage, and there were walls surrounding them on all sides!
Even Mo Qingchou, Mo Yuanshan and the others were trapped. All of them were so startled that they broke out in cold sweats, and they dared not recklessly take action.
“Give it everything you’ve got!!!” the Hong Family’s immortal avatar of will bellowed, casting all reservations aside.
There was no escape. In that case, they might as well struggle with all their might!
“Die!”
“Kill him!
Numerous Cloud Soaring old monsters’ eyes were bloodshot as they fought with everything they had.
A desperate dog could jump over a spiked fence. Didn’t the same apply to human beings?
Su Yi stood in midair, his presence utterly proud, contemptuous, and tyrannical. His eyes were cold and cruel. He stretched out his right pointer finger and tapped the air.
“The unrest of this ever-shifting world is as fleeting as a dream, while my heart is as unfettered as the wind!”
Boom!
A streak of sword intent surged into being. It seemed to rise above the nine heavens, beyond the bounds of the mundane world. When it descended, the attacking experts fell like grass beneath a farmer’s scythe, then fell to the ground in pieces.
The Hong Family’s avatar of will couldn’t withstand this sword intent. He too exploded instantly!
An indescribable, terrifying chill coursed through the survivors’ hearts. All of them froze, rooted to the spot, as if they’d broken down.
Is he even human?
He killed without blinking, destroying foes in the snap of a finger, single-handedly suppressing the entire battlefield!
Even if true immortal revenants were here, they couldn’t possibly have displayed such power!
“The heavens aren’t worthy of dread, and gods aren’t worthy of awe. His enemies cannot break him, and the Dao cannot impede him. That’s how a sword cultivator ought to be,” murmured Su Yi.
This was a reflection of his heart he’d written in his youth, and even now, he dared not forget it!
At that moment, the heavens swayed as if about to fall, and the earth shook as if about to collapse. The skies trembled and split on all sides.
An unprecedentedly terrifying aura burst out of Su Yi. Countless minds went blank. It was as if they were gazing at a god standing proudly atop the Human Realm. His sheer momentum seemed capable of overturning heaven and earth and destroying everything in between!
“It’s a pity. Discussing such things with you would amount to nothing more than playing the zither for a cow….” Su Yi sighed, his heart utterly bleak.
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, formless sword force swept across heaven and earth like a tidal wave or avalanche. Beneath countless astonished gazes, one Cloud Soaring Realm old monster perished, reduced to tiny pieces like duckweed beneath a heartless, tyrannical hurricane.
Heaven and earth dimmed abruptly. Everything was thrown into chaos!
A single slash could actually be this powerful!
By the time the dust and smoke dissipated and the firelight receded, the surrounding thousand miles lay in ruin.
Every last one of Su Yi’s enemies had perished. There wasn’t so much as a single survivor.
Mo Qingchou, Mo Yuanshan, and the other Mo Family old-timers stood there in a daze, still as clay statues. They stood out like sore thumbs.
And Su Yi stood in the distance, his blue robes drenched with blood and his body badly battered. Despite his injuries, his aura linked heaven and earth, and he seemed utterly unshakeable, like an eternal sovereign!
The distant onlookers were completely dazed. This incident ought to have ended when the curtains fell on Su Yi and Hong Feiguan’s duel.
Hong Feiguan lost and died full of hatred at the hands of his own family.
But now, over a hundred Cloud Soaring experts of the Hong Family, Fu Family, Illusory Sword Immortal Tower, Southern Flame Pure Lands, and the Profound Divinity Sword House had perished, alongside sixteen immortal avatars of will!
No one could possibly have anticipated this result. The word astonishment was insufficient to describe their emotions.
Su Yi tapped his temple and whispered to himself, “I won’t compromise with you now. No, I ought to ensure you owe me a favor.”
Within his sea of consciousness, Su Yi’s soul avatar was silent. He could see everything his sixth incarnation was doing in full detail, and even he was astonished.
After all, his sixth incarnation had only used a portion of his power. Most of it was still under the suppression of the Sword of the Nine Hells.
Even so, his sixth incarnation’s display of strength was terrifying beyond imagination. He seemed invincible, and no one could stand in his way!
Su Yi couldn’t even imagine how powerful his cultivation must have been in life.
However, Su Yi wouldn’t underestimate himself on account of that, nor would he let his sixth incarnation’s power intimidate him.
This was because, in this lifetime, at the same level of cultivation, he’d already surpassed his sixth incarnation!
As his cultivation base rose, he’d surpass his sixth incarnation’s peak strength sooner or later.
Furthermore, he controlled the power of reincarnation, making him the only one of his lifetimes capable of fusing with the Dao Imprints of his past selves. The Temple Master and Shen Mu had never achieved this, and neither had his sixth incarnation.
This was what gave Su Yi the confidence to compete with his sixth incarnation. He wasn’t afraid.
……
Heaven and earth were deathly still. Even the wind fell silent.
Su Yi stood beneath the dome of heaven, brushed off his robes, then looked at Mo Qingchou. “Guide me to the Hong Family estate.”
Mo Qingchou felt such intense pressure bearing down on her that she struggled to breathe. She nodded, practically out of instinct.
Su Yi stepped into the air and waved his sleeves. Invisible power enveloped Mo Qingchou, and a moment later, the two of them disappeared.
The terrifying pressure filling the entire area quickly dissipated. As soon as it was gone, the crowd felt as if a massive boulder had been lifted from their hearts, and they reacted as if awakening from a dream. They simultaneously sighed in relief.
A moment later, the silence gave way to a clamor of voices.
“I… I really wasn’t dreaming just now, was I?”
“Who would dare believe that Su Yi single-handedly slew so many powerful foes?”
“Just what kind of power possessed him? Wasn’t it a bit too terrifying?”
“The Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone will never be the same!”
Before, the shock to the distant onlookers’ hearts had been too great to even react. And the moment they relaxed, they completely lost control. Even as they discussed the battle, their hearts were still full of lingering dread, and they were only more astonished with every bit of the fight that they recalled.
“The Hong Family is in for disaster!” Mo Yuanshan took a deep breath and suppressed his turbulent emotions. “Today’s massacre…. Is far from over!”
