Novel Full Chapter 1440 - An Unexpected Shift
Chapter 1440 – An Unexpected Shift
One slash, and he’d restricted two Void Realm True Immortals!
This shocking scene made Yu Ning’s delicate frame stiffen, and she froze in place.
Yun Huaqing gasped.
Off in the distance, Gu Yuanque and his allies were busy surrounding Daoist Master Red Cloud, but when they saw this, they too were stunned.
Only Daoist Master Red Cloud remained as tranquil as ever.
Was this strange? No, not at all.
She suspected that Su Yi had awakened his memories of another past life. There was no judging him by his cultivation!
Su Yi stood beneath the dome of heaven, his gaze cold and indifferent as he stretched out his finger and flicked the sword hovering in the air.
Clang——!
A sword hum swept forth like a wave.
Reincarnation sword intent rippled outward, spreading across the sealed landscape. As it swept over Zhou Zhe and Xue Qiaozhi, both of them popped, as fragile as soap bubbles, and scattered into a rain of light.
In the last moments before their deaths, befuddlement was written all over both Void Realm True Immortals’ faces.
They couldn’t even imagine how they could die at the hands of a paltry little Nascent Divinity cultivator of the Human Realm.
Su Yi didn’t stop there. He gripped the Sword of the Human Realm and shot over to the distant battlefield.
HIs gait was unhurried and composed, and an utterly tyrannical aura emanated from his tall, upright figure.
Yu Ning looked dazed, and her emotions were a complicated mix of astonishment, confusion, and irrepressible shame. By now, how could she have failed to realize that she’d misjudged Su Yi?
He wasn’t brazen and arrogant, nor was he a shameless boaster.
No, he was just that strong!
The most laughable part was that all along, she’d taken him for a mere Nascent Divinity Realm junior, and she’d repeatedly questioned his decisions. She’d even mocked him and voiced her entirely unconcealed disdain…
Looking back at it now, she was undoubtedly the most ridiculous one of all. For a moment, she felt too ashamed to show her face.
Boom——!
The battle raged in the distance. Currents of destructive power swept through heaven and earth, throwing everything into chaos.
When Su Yi attacked, the twelve Void Realm True Immortals maintaining the formation were instantly solemn. All of them prepared to face a powerful foe.
“Hurry up and suppress that kid!” Gu Yuanque gnashed his teeth. “Quickly!”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and took out a simple, sword-shaped jade pendant.
Crunch!
The sword-shaped pendant shattered, then transformed into a bundle of resplendent golden light and fused into Gu Yuanque’s body.
It was as if he’d been possessed by a divinity. His imposing aura instantly soared once more.
His eyes were now an imposing gold, like twin blazing sons.
The Saint Soul Medallion!
This was a supreme legacy treasure of Vast Ocean Mountain. It contained the will of a Saint Realm Immortal Lord.
When used, the Immortal Lord’s will possessed the user’s body, letting them display a portion of a true Immortal Lord’s power. It was incomparably terrifying!
However, the avatar’s power only lasted a little while. Thus, Gu Yuanque kept it reserve. It was a killer weapon he’d only use in a pinch.
But he couldn’t possibly concern himself with that at a time like this!
“Die!”
Gu Yuanque’s twin swords danced through the air as he went all out.
Daoist Master Red Cloud realized what he’d done at a glance, and her delicate brow furrowed. She too was surprised by just how many cards this holy son had up his sleeves.
But this was far from enough to intimidate her.
Clang!
Daoist Master Red Cloud’s slender, crystalline fingertips gently pressed down on the top of the mottled saber scabbard. A low saber hum rang out.
The scabbard was empty, but her hands moved as if drawing a saber.
A shocking scene followed. The mottled scabbard had been empty just moments prior, but a black saber materialized in her grip and emerged, inch by inch.
Heaven and earth trembled. Everything around them shook.
Forceful, terrifying saber force swept throughout the surroundings. Its momentum alone was enough to block Gu Yuanque’s charge, making him stagger back. His expression instantly shifted.
Daoist Master Red Cloud now gripped an illusory black saber formed completely out of mysterious and terrifying saber intent.
It was deep, dense, and mysterious, seemingly as vast as the ancient starry skies themselves!
Just as I thought. That empty scabbard is used to gather Nirvana Saber Intent, and it looks like she’s already crossed the threshold of basic proficiency. The essence of Nirvana is on full display. Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of strange light.
The Grand Dao of Nirvana!
One of the greatest Laws of the Immortal Dao!
“Die!”
All of this took some time to describe, but it happened in a flash. As Gu Yuanque and Daoist Master Red Cloud clashed, the twelve Void Realm True Immortals directed the formation against Su Yi.
Twelve apricot-yellow formation flags took to the air, stirring up a monstrous wave of Immortal Dao formation power. It bore down on the air, outshining both heaven and earth.
Su Yi’s gaze was cold and indifferent as he waved his sleeve through the air.
Boom!
The Divine Replenishment Furnace soared into the air, and the sealed calamitous power of the End of the Dharma poured out of its opening.
Blood-red lightning burst forth, like floodwaters breaking through a dam. Electricity blanketed heaven and earth like a raging ocean, enveloping the entire stretch of heaven and earth.
“This…”
“The power of the End of the Dharma!?”
The twelve Void Realm True Immortals were so startled that their jaws practically fell off.
Boom——!
The combat formation split into pieces, and the apricot-yellow formation flags exploded.
Blood-red lightning burst forth, full of calamitous power. It ravaged the entire area, throwing everything into chaos!
“Run! Hurry up and run!”
“No——!” Terrified shrieks rose and fell in waves. The twelve Void Realm True Immortals scampered about like panicked dogs, struggling with all their might in a desperate attempt to survive.
Alas, they were one step too late.
As that blood-red lightning spread, blotting out the skies, it slew every last one of them on the spot.
Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning gasped. They couldn’t help but recall what they’d experienced during the End of the Dharma.
Beneath that catastrophe, immortals were like grass beneath a scythe, falling from the sky like rain!
Now, this familiar scene was playing out once more!
But it was different. The dead weren’t living immortals, but rather, immortal revenants. They were naturally even worse off.
Within just a few blinks of an eye, all twelve revenants died brutally within the blood-red lightning.
Not one survived!
Su Yi, meanwhile, put away the Divine Replenishment Furnace.
From beginning to end, Su Yi just stood there casually, watching calmly as calamitous power poured forth and swept through his enemies. His calm, indifferent expression never wavered.
Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning both broke out in cold sweats. They finally understood why Su Yi had gathered all that calamitous power on their way here!
“Dammit!!” Gu Yuanque roared in fury.
Su Yi had just used that calamitous power to wipe out twelve of his allies at once, startling him too. His handsome face was ashen, and his eyes bulged as if about to pop.
Boom!
Daoist Master Red Cloud seized the opportunity to swing her saber and dealt Gu Yuanque a massive blow, sending him flying backward.
So what if he had an Immortal Lord’s will?
No matter its cultivation, it was ultimately no more than remnant will.
In the face of Nirvana Saber Intent, it was no threat at all!
Daoist Master Red Cloud didn’t stop there. Her graceful figure shot through the air and swung her saber at Gu Yuanque.
“Activate!” Gu Yuanque roared in fury.
An ancient copper mirror covered in bestial markings appeared before him. Blood-red immortal light shot from its surface, and a terrifying aura permeated the surrounding area.
Hm? Su Yi’s gaze focused. That looks like a Saint-level artifact of the Aberrant Path!
Meanwhile, Daoist Master Red Cloud sensed the danger as well, and she didn’t hesitate to take out and wave a colorful feather fan.
But it was then that something entirely unexpected happened!
Three mysterious gray divine chains shot of the sea of fog of the Endless Treasure Grounds, boring through time and space. They targeted Su Yi, Gu Yuanque, and Daoist Master Red Cloud respectively.
Too fast!
It was as if the chains represented the natural order, the will of the heavens. Those bound would be completely sealed, unable to even struggle.
“You’re courting death!”
In this moment of crisis, Su Yi’s eyes flashed with divine radiance, and he activated the Sword of the Nine Hells’ power with all his might.
Crunch!
The divine chains binding Su Yi broke, shattered into wisps of light, and disappeared.
But Gu Yuanque and Daoist Master Red Cloud weren’t so fortunate. The mysterious divine chains bound them both, then instantly dragged them into the depths of the Endless Treasure Grounds!
Su Yi rushed to her aid, but he was one step too late.
All of this had happened far too suddenly. Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning both looked stricken, and although it wasn’t at all cold, they trembled.
How is this possible? Don’t tell me some extraordinarily terrifying existence is lurking in the Endless Treasure Grounds’ sea of fog?
Suddenly, an aged voice emanated from further in.
“If you wish to save them, come to the Abandoned Monument. So long as you come to see me, you can leave with your companions, and moreover, I’ll bequeath you with good fortune.”
Su Yi’s eyebrows rose. “And where is this Abandoned Monument?”
No one answered. There was no longer any sign of that aged voice.
Su Yi turned to look at Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning. “Do you know?”
They both shook their heads.
Yun Huaqing said, “Fellow Daoist Su, whoever he was, for him to have said that suggests that he’s unlikely to harm Celestial Red Cloud.”
Su Yi subtly inclined his head. “Gather up the spoils. Once I’ve recovered my strength, we can head into the Endless Treasure Grounds.”
Yun Huaqing nodded. After witnessing Su Yi’s strength, the Void Realm True Immortal was completely convinced. He naturally didn’t mind taking care of this trivial matter. Especially since Su Yi had only just saved his life.
Yu Ning walked up, handed Su Yi a jade bottle, and said in a whisper, “Fellow Daoist Su, this is an immortal medicine. It’s useful for treating wounds and recovering strength. Please accept it.”
Su Yi didn’t refuse. He accepted the jade bottle, sat cross-legged, poured out the medicine, and started refining it.
Yu Ning inwardly sighed in relief. That Su Yi had accepted her medicine meant that he wouldn’t take her to task for her earlier recklessness.
“Fellow Daoist Su, why didn’t Ol’ Bao return with you? Don’t tell me… he was a traitor just like the monk?” Yu Ning couldn’t help but ask.
Su Yi didn’t hide it. As he sat and meditated, he laid everything out in the open.
After hearing the full story, Yu Ning was stunned and increasingly embarrassed.
At first, she’d thought Yun Huaqing, Bao Wentai, and Su Yi were a pack of losers, each lamer than the one before. In her eyes, only Daoist Master Red Cloud and Zhe Yin seemed reliable. But reality proved that she was wrong, and by no small margin!
Yun Huaqing might have seemed like he didn’t know what was good for him, and he might have invited others’ snubs, but he had no ill intentions. It was the seemingly amiable Bao Wentai and the seemingly reliable Zhe Yin who were really harboring malintent!
And Su Yi’s display of power was unbelievable, as if he were an all-knowing, all-seeing god!
Yu Ning had to admit to herself that she didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened to her and Yun Huaqing if not for Su Yi overwhelming the opposition and turning back the tides!
