Chapter 1887 – Each Displaying His Divine Abilities

In the face of an imminent crisis, Su Yi didn’t hesitate to use the Book of Karma as a shield.

Fuck! Again? The Book of Karma longed to curse him out.

Boom!

One world after another came crashing down, making the Book of Karma tremble.

Immediately afterward, resplendent Buddhist light burst forth. Countless Buddhas’ eyes bulged with fury, and their voices boomed like spring thunder as they shot out of the divine flames and attacked.

Terrifying, destructive power swept forth like raging tidal waves. Before one wave had even fallen, another arose.

The Book of Karma wouldn’t be able to block this much longer, but Su Yi didn’t panic. On the contrary, he was a bit irritated. He sighed, “You’re an unparalleled figure working beneath the Dipankara Buddha, yet you dare not fight me with your true strength. It’s truly disappointing.”

That’s right. He held the bald donkey’s methods in disdain!

Jia Yun set a divine formation right from the get-go, so he obviously lacked courage. His schemes ran too deep.

“How could I possibly have resorted to this if not for the divine misfortune covering the Immortal Realm?” Jia Yun said calmly. “Of course, you needn’t let this spur you to negativity. You’re far from comparable to other Immortal Kings, and your past life was someone even the gods viewed with incomparable trepidation. I’m using the Three Thousand Pure Worlds because I see you as an unprecedentedly dangerous foe.”

Even as they conversed, the divine formation rumbled and boomed, its power increasingly terrifying. Su Yi circulated the power of reincarnation with all his might, but he could still just barely block.

It was the Book of Karma that suffered the most. Its pages flipped, and the whole book convulsed. Were it capable of making sound, it would have been shouting and cursing at the top of its “lungs.”

“Nonsense!” Su Yi laughed dryly. “Had you fought me openly, I wouldn’t have minded giving you a convincing defeat, but since you insist on competing with external objects, don’t blame me for my poor manners.”

His eyes glinted with cold light.

“Break!”

He directly activated the Tree of All Worlds’ Breaking Barriers ability. It was as if he were an unstoppably sharp sword; he cleaved a hole right through the Three Thousand Pure Worlds.

Boom!

Firelight interwove, and Su Yi shot out of the formation like a dragon escaping confinement and rising into the heavens!

Within the formation, Jia Yun’s steely, unmoving face finally shifted. It seemed he was astonished, overcome with disbelief.

It wasn’t hard to understand why. The Three Thousand Pure Worlds should have been able to kill anyone beneath the divine level with ease, yet now, an Immortal King had broken free. Easily, too. How could Jia Yun possibly accept this?

Boom!

Before he could wrap his head around it, Su Yi attacked explosively.

Breaking free of a formation was one thing. Breaking the formation from the outside was another.

As Su Yi circulated the power of reincarnation, he swung the Book of Karma like a brick. The entire formation shook violently, quivering like a massive eggshell. The impact left a huge crater on its surface.

“Get him!” Jia Yun roared and raised his punishment ruler. The power of the formation instantly descended upon Su Yi.

But Su Yi immediately broke free. As wondrous as the formation was, if it couldn’t trap him, he wouldn’t even need the Tree of All Worlds’ support. Even on his own, Su Yi could dodge its attacks with room to spare!

Jia Yun realized this too, and his ten-thousand-foot frame instantly shrank down to its original size.

Meanwhile, the Three Thousand Pure Worlds shrank countless times over as well. In the end, they transformed into a little blue lamp and floated over Jia Yun’s palm.

There was no doubt about it. This was the Dipankara Buddha’s Sumeru Lamp, a divine treasure of unfathomable power!

This treasure really was terrifyingly strong. Even just floating over Jia Yun’s palm, its aura made heaven and earth change color, and the power of the ambient Laws seemed agitated and tumultuous.

“Go!” Jia Yun raised his hand and tossed the lamp.

Weng!

The Sumeru Lamp took to the sky and spun, endless Buddhist flame scattering from its wick, like a firestorm sweeping out in all directions. The entire stretch of mountains and rivers was instantly reduced to scorched earth. Every last rock, tree, and blade of grass was burnt to nothingness. Even the boundless sky contorted and collapsed, startling both the heart and the eyes.

Su Yi leaped into the fray.

Boom!

Visions of reincarnation floated around him as he pressed his fingers into a sword and slashed with all his might.

The Path to the Far Shore appeared, stretching into the endless darkness. Fiery flowers of the Far Shore scattered with the terrifying power to suppress, extradite, and destroy.

Reincarnation Sword Intent——Flowers Bloom on the Far Shore!

As tyrannical as that radiant Buddhist flame was, the moment it touched the Path to the Far Shore, it was instantly crushed into pieces, eradicated completely!

Su Yi seized the moment to use the Tree of All Worlds to disappear without a trace. A moment later, he reappeared above Jia Yun’s head and swung the Book of Karma at the Sumeru Lamp.

This attack appeared suddenly and arrived in an instant. Jia Yun had no time to dodge. All he could do was meet it head-on.

Thud——!!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out as the Sumeru Lamp was sent flying.

Jia Yun’s pupils constricted, and his voice boomed like spring thunder. He roared in fury, raised his punishment ruler, and attacked.

Even then, he only just barely managed to block Su Yi’s attack.

But Su Yi had already seized the initiative, and he wasn’t going to let his opponent off. He used the Book of Karma as a brick to launch a flurry of attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jia Yun waved his ruler to defend himself, but he could in no way withstand this onslaught. Soon, he had no choice but to dodge… or try to.

In the end, even the punishment ruler was sent flying from his hand, and the Book of Karma slammed ruthlessly into his back.

Bang!!

Jia Yun flew tens of thousands of feet, his back caving in as his flesh was pulped and his bones and tendons snapped. Blood spurted from his mouth. His formerly steely face was now deathly pale, and his eyes shone with irrepressible murderousness.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Su Yi drew on the Tree of All Worlds and disappeared into thin air once more.

Jia Yun’s heart pounded in his chest, and he no longer dared hesitate. He immediately drew upon the full extent of his Great Profound cultivation base.

Boom!!

His aura transformed, and his skin shone with glittering golden light, as if he’d been forged out of divine gold. The terrifying power of his blood and qi soared into the firmament, manifesting a mysterious Buddhist world behind him.

As he exerted his will…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The punishment ruler and Sumeru Lamp returned to him, and he activated them with all his might.

Practically simultaneously, boundless sword qi descended from the heavens, manifesting dark and mysterious visions of the Six Paths. It was as if everything in heaven and earth had been plunged into the cycle of reincarnation.

Reincarnation Sword Intent—the Six Paths Sword Wheel!

Kaboom!

Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval.

Now that he was using his full strength, Jia Yun’s strength was truly terrifying. With a single swing of his ruler, he effortlessly blocked the onslaught of sword qi. Meanwhile, taboo divine power burst from the Sumeru Lamp, transforming into surging Buddhist flames that forced the hidden Su Yi back out into the open!

“So, this is your true cultivation base?” Su Yi’s eyes flashed.

“That’s right. Unfortunately for you, you miscalculated,” Jia Yun said flatly. “This humble monk isn’t here to achieve divinity. I’m here for you and you alone. How could I possibly fear the threat of divine misfortune?”

Boom!

Even as they conversed, he attacked, shooting through the air and pouring his strength into his punishment ruler.

At the same time, he powered the Sumeru Lamp. His majesty was so grand that it seemed as if a Buddha were descending upon the world.

“I miscalculated?” Su Yi laughed.

Then, Jia Yun watched as his aura suddenly expanded too, soaring until he seemed like a completely different person. His momentum had completely transformed. Because this was the power of the Great Martial Stage, and Su Yi drew upon it without the slightest hesitation!

Boom!

He raised the Book of Karma and effortlessly sent the Sumeru Lamp flying. Its wails shook the heavens.

When he shot ahead, he unleashed the Six Paths Sword Wheel once more. This time, it sent Jia Yun flying, punishment ruler and all.

Splurt!

Jia Yun coughed up blood, and his expression filled with horror. Su Yi’s strength seemed to have increased tenfold! The gap was like the distance between heaven and earth!

Jia Yun finally realized that Su Yi had been hiding his true strength all along. It was only now that Jia Yun revealed his true Great Profound cultivation base that Su Yi revealed his true abilities too.

“The Three Thousand Pure Worlds won’t cut it. The Sumeru Lamp won’t either, not even if you use your unparalleled Great Profound Stage strength,” Su Yi said flatly. “How can you fight me now?”

Although no one knew it, even as an Immortal King, he’d managed to kill some of the first-rate Great Profound monsters confined on Spiritual Desolation Mountain.

Now that he’d stepped into the Great Martial Stage, his strength was comparable to Wang Ye’s at his peak. Even unparalleled Immortal Sovereigns were nothing to him now!

Boom!

Su Yi vanished into thin air and reappeared directly in front of Jia Yun, swinging his right hand like a sword.

His attack arrived even faster than he did.

Kcch!

Beneath this slash, a mist-shrouded Naihe Bridge appeared, connecting the worlds of life and death. The River of Forgetfulness flowed beneath it. Every wave contained countless struggling departed souls.

It was a terrifying, sinister vision.

Reincarnation Sword Intent——the Transience of Naihe!

Jia Yun suddenly sensed a lethal threat. His eyes bulged in fury, and endless radiance rose around him, as if he’d caught on fire. Every last pore erupted with Buddhist light so intense that it stung the eyes.

“I forsake even my body in the name of smiting demons. I have no fear of death!” Jia Yun clasped his palms together, his gaze full of pity.

Boom!

His entire body blazed with dazzling, fiery light as he charged explosively at Su Yi. He was not lying—he was truly burning himself up!

The Naihe Bridge shattered, and the River of Forgetfulness evaporated. This was a killer move Su Yi created, fusing his attainments in the Dao of the Sword with the mysteries of reincarnation, yet Jia Yun broke it with ease.

Even Su Yi was sent flying back. Fortunately, he used the Book of Karma at a critical juncture, blocking more than half the impact. Otherwise, he would have been badly injured, and that was assuming he even survived.

Still, he didn’t get off lightly. Throughout his body, his blood and qi churned.

“You blocked it..?” After burning himself up to unleash this ultimate strike, Jia Yun was now just a soul body. When he saw Su Yi block his strike, his eyes widened. He couldn’t accept this!

“I wouldn’t have guessed you’d go to such lengths,” sighed Su Yi. And indeed, he really wouldn’t have expected that the bald donkey would use this divine ability at the cost of destroying his own physical body.

“Daoist Brother, you miscalculated again.” Jia Yun suddenly broke into a strange smile. “The ‘me’ standing before you is merely an Arhat Clone.”

“I won’t lie to you. I came here with two goals in mind: to kill you, or barring that, to gauge your true strength and see whether or not you truly dare attend the Immortal Peach Assembly. Now, I’ve completed one of my goals. It’s enough!”

Gratified laughter rang out as Jia Yun blurred into a beam of light and disappeared into the Sumeru Lamp, which shot into the distance.

But Su Yi just laughed and whispered, “Can you escape, though?”

Clang!

The hum of a sword resounded throughout heaven and earth, and a streak of light flashed past. A moment later, several hundred miles away, the Sumeru Lamp came crashing down to earth as if it had been struck by lightning.
