Chapter 1422 – Manifesting Mortality!
The power of the Contract of the Gods was invisible and intangible, but it really did exist, and it was calamitous, terrifying, and destructive.
Yet, when it surged into Su Yi’s body, the dormant Sword of the Nine Hells was instantly startled into action!
Boom!
A mysterious, inscrutable power burst from the Sword of the Nine Hells, like a massive net, seizing the silent, invisible power of the Contract of the Gods.
The contract’s power struggled violently against the Sword of the Nine Hells. Su Yi’s body had become a battleground.
But in the end, it couldn’t withstand the power of the Sword of the Nine Hells, which refined it completely.
Su Yi watched coldly from beginning to end. Over the past month, he’d experienced similarly strange tribulations on numerous occasions.
He’d long since known that, with the Sword of the Nine Hells there to protect him, the Contract of the Guards was no threat. Even so, every time he saw this strange, unsettling power, Su Yi’s heart filled with indescribable dread!
The Contract of the Gods was far too terrifying. It was far beyond the bounds of Su Yi’s prior understanding.
According to his sixth incarnation, the Contract of the Gods was a power beyond the Immortal Dao, free from the bounds of ages and epochs!
Su Yi didn’t have any doubt that, without the Sword of the Nine Hells, the Contract of the Gods would have effortlessly destroyed him the moment he shattered his World of the Grand Dao!
No wonder my sixth incarnation called this path ‘unprecedented.’ At the very least, it’s been a path to certain doom ever since the Contract of the Gods was put into place!
Before long, the power of the Contract of the Gods disappeared completely.
An instinctual, hollow hunger arose within Su Yi’s body, as if every inch of him were ravenous and desperate to gorge itself. Su Yi had never experienced such hunger before. It was as if he’d transformed into a hungry ghost, and it came as a brutal torment.
He would never have guessed that hunger could become such cruel torture.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yi took out a bottle of pills and started refining them.
It was like a downpour following a long drought.
As scalding medicinal power coursed through Su Yi’s body, that extreme sense of hunger slowly abated, finally satisfied.
And within Su Yi’s body, the chaotic power of his cultivation base continuously expanded like fermenting dough, its shape indescribable.
Just six hours later, he’d fully refined the pills’ power, only for that familiar hunger to return.
Su Yi immediately took out another bunch of pills.
Fortunately, he’d recently acquired an incalculable abundance of spoils. After passing through the Divine Replenishment Furnace, they became batch after batch of pills of unrivaled quality.
It was this abundance of wealth that let Su Yi repeatedly suppress those feelings of hunger every time they arose within his soul.
Actually, he knew full well that this wasn’t “hunger” per se.
Rather, his cultivation base was rebuilding itself amidst destruction, as if undergoing rebirth in chaos!
And the process of metamorphosis urgently required him to absorb a seemingly never-ending stream of spiritual energy!
Insufficient energy would hinder his transformation’s progress.
It won’t be much longer until I’ve condensed a true Nascent Divinity! All it lacks is a bit of tempering!
Su Yi’s Path of Transcendence was different from other cultivators.
This was because he’d started by shattering his foundations in the World King Realm before using a secret method to condense a Nascent Divinity. His Nascent Divinity was now his Wellspring of Chaos, and it contained the full extent of his cultivation base.
The shape of chaos was indescribable. Fusing his cultivation base into it was like a return to the origins of the Grand Dao. His entire being had descended back into mundanity, without the slightest energy fluctuations of the Grand Dao.
Boom!
Within Su Yi’s body, the power of his cultivation base was as churning and tumultuous as chaos itself.
As the power of Transcendent-level pills flooded in, his transformation intensified, and his chaotic cultivation base repeatedly shrank down…
Every time, it produced violent rumbling and shaking. It was as if chaos winds and lightning were running rampant throughout Su Yi’s body.
In the end, that chaotic cultivation base condensed into a bundle, like an incomparably solid, perfectly round egg.
It was then that the ravening hunger peaked. It was so intense that it made Su Yi tremble from head to toe.
He realized that he’d reached the most critical juncture of his rebirth amidst destruction. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the immortal pill he’d kept in reserve!
The pill shone like a star, translucent and crystalline. A rain of auspicious immortal light fell around it, making it seem both beautiful and holy. It was faint, but the sound of immortals chanting sutras echoed through the air.
The Nine Wonders Heaven’s Origin Pill!
It was refined from the Nine Wonders Immortal Ginseng Daoist Master Red Cloud had given him, combined with over a hundred other types of precious Transcendent-level medicinal ingredients. It took the Divine Replenishment Furnace a full three days and three nights to complete the refining process, and even then, it only produced two pills.
One, the furnace claimed for itself.
The other went to Su Yi.
After Su Yi swallowed this immortal pill….
Boom!!
Terrifying medicinal power swept forth like an avalanche or tidal wave, coursing through Su Yi’s body. The chaotic power of his cultivation base now seemed to have accumulated enough power to undergo a complete, extreme transformation!
Like the first parting of primordial chaos. The heavens rose, and the earth sank. This type of transformation was unbelievably wondrous, the most primordial of scenes.
At the same time, a profound, wondrous enlightenment coursed through Su Yi’s heart.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Strange tribulation clouds surged beneath the distant dome of heaven, silent and traceless, without causing so much as the slightest disturbance.
Clouds as black as ink churned violently, and terrifying tribulation light blazed like fire.
It was indistinct, but deep within the tribulation clouds, what looked like countless divine chains representing the Laws of the natural order flashed and interwove!
“Hm?” A yellow dog suddenly appeared outside, then gazed up at the dome of heaven. Its pupils dilated with astonishment. What… What kind of tribulation is this!?
An indescribable chill coursed through it. The dog shuddered from head to toe, and an irrepressible dread and unease arose within its heart.
When I faced my Immortal Tribulation, it was nowhere near as terrifying as this!”
The dog’s eyes bulged as it tried to sense the tribulation further. But mere moments later, it let out a muffled grunt, its heart shaking. It was so startled that its hair stood on end!
It no longer dared make any further attempts to sense the tribulation. Its power was far too calamitous and terrifying. Despite the dog’s cultivation, it wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences of any further attempts!
“Hm?”
A moment later, it was struck dumb, and its jaw hung slack.
What did it see?
In the utmost depths of the tribulation clouds, where countless strands of the Laws of the natural order interwove, there appeared the illusory figures of godlike beings! Were they incarnations of heaven’s will?
Or perhaps… the gods of legends?
The dog stiffened, not daring to move recklessly. The mental impact was greater than anything it had ever experienced; even its awareness suddenly seemed muddled.
It was indistinct, but the dog thought it heard the humming of a sword. An illusory, ethereal sword had risen into the nine heavens, straight into the heart of the tribulation clouds.
It also seemed that… the strange tribulation was somehow dissipating?
The countless streaks of calamitous light, the manifestations of the natural order, crumbled. Those illusory, godlike figures popped like soap bubbles.
…Shortly after, the dog shuddered, then awakened from its dazed state.
When it next looked at the dome of heaven, it saw clear skies. The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. There was no trace of a tribulation whatsoever!
“Fuck! What kind of tribulation was that!?” The yellow dog couldn’t help but curse under its breath. Before it could understand what was happening, nothing was happening anymore.
Whoosh!
The dog’s eyes flashed and it looked in the direction of Su Yi’s room. It already had a premonition that this tribulation was somehow connected to Su Yi. Most likely… it had accompanied his breakthrough into the Path of Transcendence!
The dog forced down the impulse to rush over and pepper Su Yi with questions. It struggled to calm down. Forget it. I can ask him after he emerges from seclusion.
A massive tribulation had appeared silently and without a trace, to the point that only the dog sensed it. No one else even seemed to notice it.
But that wasn’t all. A strange power of the Laws, a natural order, had appeared within the tribulation clouds. There were even the illusory figures of gods.
It was unquestionably far too unbelievable!
That Su kid has got to be hiding enormous secrets! Perhaps my mistress realized that right from the start. That must be why she attaches such importance to him, the dog thought to itself.
……
Su Yi sat cross-legged in his room.
He seemed entirely unexceptional and unassuming, without the slightest trace of a cultivation base.
However, within his body, an unprecedented nirvanic rebirth was unfolding!
Within his dantian, the chaos of his cultivation base shone, resplendent like a glowing star as it formed the rough outline of a Dao Sword. The sword gradually solidified, with the charm of something naturally forming of chaos.
Upon closer inspection, aside from lacking the divine chains, it looked just like the Sword of the Nine Hells!
The terrifying energy fluctuations of Su Yi’s cultivation base surged within the sword. Countless wisps of misty chaos light poured down, raising Su Yi’s flesh, soul, and cultivation to a whole new level!
It was a wondrous rebirth, like seizing fortune from the heavens. He’d rebuilt himself amidst destruction, sublimating and transcending!
Most unbelievable of all, every sign of Su Yi’s power disappeared from the surface. It was now entirely withdrawn into his body, fused into the sword within his dantian.
To the point that anyone seeing him after his unprecedented transformation would assume he’d fallen back into mundanity, becoming just another ordinary mortal.
Of course, that was only on the surface.
Boom!
Within Su Yi’s dantian, the Dao Sword rumbled and boomed. The chaotic power of his cultivation base circulated in an endless, self-perpetuating cycle.
Su Yi could clearly sense that he was completely different from before. It was as if the fundamental quality of his life force had changed, and as if everything extraneous had been washed away!
Just like during prior breakthroughs, it was the Sword of the Nine Hells that had cut through the tribulation clouds filling the sky. Unlike before, however, Su Yi had now stepped onto an entirely unique path, a path of Transcendence no one else had ever walked.
He was now in the realm known as Manifesting Mortality!
The sword inside him, the one shaped just like the Sword of the Nine Hells, was his Nascent Divinity, his Wellspring of Chaos. It contained the entirety of his cultivation base!
Other people’s Nascent Divinities looked just like them, and they presided over the Worlds of the Grand Dao that represented their cultivation bases. Su Yi’s Nascent Divinity had, due to a stroke of fate, taken on the shape of the Sword of the Nine Hells, and all of his cultivation base was fused into it.
The difference was stark!
“I finally… broke through…” Su Yi let out a deep sigh.
A mixture of satisfaction and a hint of ruefulness!
