Chapter 1749 – A Battle Between Old Enemies
The Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign was a legend in the Immortal Realm. Even after all this time, you could ask any cultivator at random, and they’d be able to describe his accomplishments in detail.
Among prominent experts of the Immortal Dao, Wang Ye’s title had heart-palpitating power!
The leader of the Church of All Spirits wasn’t an expert from the days prior to the Age of Fallen Immortals, but even he knew how terrifying and legendary a figure the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign was!
And as one of Wang Ye’s old enemies, how could the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign not know how terrifying he was?
But no one was more astonished than the Zhuyou Great Peng. Its eyes widened, and it couldn’t help but blurt, “Fuck! So, it turns out he’s… that legendary, unrivaled expert, unique throughout the ages, the man who intimidated the four seas and all lands beneath the heavens, the famous Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign!
“No wonder I feel as jittery as if I’m walking on thin ice every time I see him. No wonder I always feel as stifled and overcome with awe as if I were gazing upon a deity from on high!” The bird sighed, suddenly looking ashamed. “I have only myself to blame, for I had eyes, but I did not see. I finally understand. Once this is over, I’ll have to apologize to His Excellency the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign personally!”
“….” The Divine Fortune Teller was at a loss for words. You’ve started kissing his ass now?! You’re simply shameless! Feh! It’s embarrassing!
As he stood beneath the dome of heaven, the Sword of the Human Realm in his grip, Su Yi gazed at the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign and said coolly, “And here I thought you’d long since guessed who I was, just as Jiang Tai’e and Blood Firmament have. It seems that in terms of smarts, you’re ultimately inferior to them.”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign frowned. “You’re no more than Wang Ye’s reincarnation. What right do you have to insult me as you did back then?”
Su Yi laughed dryly. “If that’s how you feel, why haven’t you attacked me? Are you afraid? Are you unsure of my abilities?”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression darkened.
Su Yi said casually, “It’s just as you said. I have indeed reincarnated and restarted my cultivation. I am currently only in the early-stage Saint Realm, but I still look down on you. Do you know why?”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign snorted coldly. “You’re nothing but hot air!”
Su Yi chuckled. “If you were Jiang Tai’e, you’d have attacked me already. If you tested me and concluded you were no match for me, you’d have fled immediately.
“Were Blood Firmament here and unable to see through my true limits, he’d have given up and fled without hesitation.
“But you’re different. You have neither Jiang Tai’e’s daring nor Blood Firmament’s decisiveness. You’re obviously overcome with worry, but you can’t bear to just give up, so you’re trying to draw this out in hopes of gradually getting a better feel for my abilities.”
Here, Su Yi’s gaze filled with disdain. “It’s no wonder your attainments in the Great Realm are inferior to theirs. You’re indecisive and lacking in courage!”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression was unsightly. Had anyone else insulted him like this, he wouldn’t have cared. He would have just killed them.
But Wang Ye was once the foe he feared above all others. Every word out of his mouth was like a knife twisting in his heart! His shame and anger were simply unbearable!
Perhaps it was because he was once so overcome with fear that he cared so deeply!
“Seriously? You still don’t dare to try me even after I was so rude to you?” Su Yi smiled faintly.
The veins bulged on the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s head, and his face was ashen. He was obviously utterly enraged.
But in the end, he just said coldly, “Wang Ye, back then, how cold, cruel, and tyrannical were you? One word out of turn, and you attacked in full force. Why is it that you’ve suddenly become so chatty?”
He took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed. “Don’t tell me you aren’t capable of keeping me here? Are you just putting on airs?”
Su Yi snickered. “What need is there to test me like this? I can just tell you directly!”
He then flicked the flat of his blade and openly admitted it. “With my current strength, I am indeed not at all confident I can keep you here. That said, if you don’t run, I’m certain you’ll be the one to die in the end.”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s pupils constricted, and his gaze filled with uncertainty.
“Ol’ Spherical Heavens, hurry up and attack already! What, have you wimped out or something? Some unparalleled expert you are! You’re a disgrace!” the Zhuyou Great Peng squawked at the top of its lungs.
The Divine Fortune Teller said with feigned solemnity, “He doesn’t dare! It’s not that he’s a coward. He’s just afraid! He’s afraid that if he attacks, he’ll die here!”
He paused, then said, “But then, that’s to be expected. Ol’ Spherical Heavens never dared to fight Wang Ye alone back then, either.
“Now, he’s afflicted with divine misfortune, and his vitality is badly damaged. Even his cultivation base has been affected. Add that to his failed attempt to usher in that dogshit divine son, and he’s already at the end of his rope. How could he dare fight all out in this state?”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign was almost beside himself with fury. He longed to smack the Divine Fortune Teller and Zhuyou Great Peng to death.
He was a lofty Great Realm Immortal Sovereign. When had anyone ever slandered him like this before?
Kcch!
Suddenly, he heard something cleave through the air.
The leader of the Church of All Spirits seemed to have given up on spectating. He transformed into a wisp of bloody light and disappeared.
Hm? The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression shifted. He would never have guessed that the sect leader would flee at a time like this.
But Su Yi reacted faster than him. Rather, he’d been prepared for this all along.
The moment the sect leader fled, Su Yi turned his sword and struck the air. At the same time, he vanished from his former position.
Boom!!
Heaven and earth trembled. The surrounding skies were as calm as the surface of a lake moments prior, but they suddenly exploded. Countless startling gashes formed on the collapsing dome of heaven.
The leader of the Church of All Spirits was several thousand feet away when the collapsing skies forced him back into view.
Shit!
His expression shifted dramatically.
How taboo was the ability he’d just used? He’d borrowed the power of a god to instantly cover great distances!
Even Great Realm experts could have forgotten about holding him back.
Yet now, Su Yi had intercepted him!
“Hah!” The leader of the Church of All Spirits roared and took to the skies, his body erupting with seemingly endless divine flames.
But within moments, an immeasurable, boundless streak of sword qi descended, scattering the divine flames. Immediately afterward, a crunch rang out, and both the sect leader and his armor exploded.
He’d died brutally on the spot!
It all happened too fast. It was over in a snap of the fingers. Su Yi had cleaved through the leader of the Church of All Spirits!
When the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign saw this, his heart instinctively tensed, and his body stiffened. Chills coursed down his spine. That bastard Wang Ye isn’t even afraid of divine power!?
Even if a Great Realm expert like the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign were to attack, he’d have had to be extremely cautious of the sect leader’s borrowed divine power.
It was for this reason that he never cast aside all pretenses of cordiality with the leader of the Church of All Spirits despite being coerced and manipulated.
Who could have imagined that Wang Ye’s reincarnation could kill the sect leader in a single slash?
“It’s a pity. If he hadn’t fled, he could have just answered some questions for me. I might well have let him live.”
Su Yi subtly shook his head.
The Divine Fortune Teller and Zhuyou Great Peng exchanged glances. Their hearts churned.
The two of them had seen Su Yi neutralize divine tribulations before. They naturally knew that although the sect leader’s divine power could threaten Great Realm experts like the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign, it presented no threat to Su Yi!
This was what they meant when they said that everything had its weakness, and each element was countered by another.
Su Yi looked at the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign and asked, “Why is it that you still haven’t attacked even now?”
As he spoke, he walked over with the Sword of the Human Realm.
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign let out a deep sigh. “It’s been tens of thousands of years since we last met. Even if we were once irreconcilable enemies, can’t we set aside our grudges and talk this over first?”
“You want to talk?” asked Su Yi. “Sure. Kneel for me first, then be good cooperate. I wouldn’t mind exchanging a few words then.”
“You want me to kneel!?” The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s face flushed red, and his hair and beard bristled with anger.
He was an unparalleled expert of the Great Realm even prior to the Age of Fallen Immortals. Su Yi’s words were a ruthless affront to his dignity, and they crossed his bottom line!
Even the Divine Fortune Teller and Zhuyou Great Peng couldn’t help but gasp.
Su Yi’s demands were far too humiliating! But that only made him seem all the more domineering and tyrannical!
Su Yi didn’t care in the slightest. He just continued ahead, entirely unperturbed.
When he was still ten thousand feet away, the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign suddenly raised his head and said, “Wang Ye, you can’t keep me here!!”
Boom!
He straightened his back, his blood-red Daoist robes billowing around him. His aura connected heaven and earth, and explosive Great Realm Laws surged forth, like countless raging currents. They bore down on the entire stretch of heaven and earth, making it tremble.
A square painting on a blue scroll floated above his head. It depicted a burning sea of blood. Its aura alone seemed to melt the surrounding hundred thousand feet of sky!
The Blood Fire Refines the Firmament Diagram!
This was one of the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s Great Realm treasures!
Prior to the Age of Fallen Immortals, he’d once used this treasure to refine an entire world. The painting contained the remnant souls of that world’s countless inhabitants.
It was easy to imagine how terrifying its power was.
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s imposing aura was suddenly incomparably fearsome. He had the momentum of an unparalleled expert of the Great Realm!
Is the old man going all out? The Zhuyou Great Peng and Divine Fortune Teller’s hearts clenched. Both of them were nervous.
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign was, after all, a Great Realm expert!
Even though they’d outwardly insulted him earlier, who didn’t know how terrifying some of his level was when they were angry?
Su Yi silently narrowed, his eyes, his gaze solemn.
His robes fluttered around him as he drew upon the full extent of his cultivation base.
Within his sea of consciousness, the long-dormant Sword of the Nine Hells buzzed. It was raring to go.
Su Yi hadn’t lied earlier. Relying purely on his own strength, he was no match for someone like the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign.
But that didn’t imply he had no means of fighting him!
Boom!
Su Yi leaped through the air, sword in hand, and attacked first.
He wasn’t the least bit hesitant or afraid. On the contrary, he was as domineering as ever, as sharp as the wind!
This was the spirit of a sword cultivator, unafraid of both death and defeat.
Rather, given his situation, he couldn’t afford to shrink back in the slightest!
