First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1895: Times Have Changed

Su Yi stood in place, unmoving, yet he blocked the combined onslaught of eighteen Great Profound Stage experts!

None of their attacks even scratched him! The sight was extraordinarily astonishing. Everyone stood there in a daze, as if they’d just witnessed a miracle.

“He didn’t die…” Qi Nie’s eyes widened, and he felt a chill in his hands and feet.

“Who can explain to me how an Immortal King pulled that off?” someone asked in a daze, their mind buzzing.

The astonishment was too great to describe in words.

“It runs out that we all misjudged the situation. His Excellency the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign’s strength is far greater than we could have predicted—nay, far greater than we could have imagined!”

Moments prior, they’d been in the pits of despair. Now, they were overcome with excitement. The disparity was so great that they lost control of their emotions.

“No wonder His Excellency dared attend the Immortal Peach Assembly. He’s already strong enough to fight almighty experts of the Great Profound Stage!!” Li Xiehu clenched his fists, and his eyes lit up.

“I finally dare to believe that the emissaries of the gods are beneath His Excellency’s notice,” someone muttered.

The Great Profound experts looked stunned. They finally understood why Su Yi neither dodged nor fought back. It was because… he wasn’t afraid of any of them. There was simply no need to respond; he could simply block their attacks.

As the crowd watched in astonishment, Su Yi stretched languidly. His power of the Grand Dao rumbled rhythmically, like a stoked furnace, shaking the surrounding skies. Every breath resonated with heaven and earth!

“Eighteen Great Profound experts, but not one of you is an actual expert.” Su Yi scanned his enemies and said flatly, “In that case, killing you won’t even take my full strength.”

“….”

Throughout heaven and earth, perhaps only Su Yi dared look down on Great Profound experts like this!

The eighteen Great Profound experts’ expressions darkened. They were obviously enraged, and their killing intent shook heaven and earth. Without a single wasted breath, they attacked again.

“Die!”

Someone leaped through the air, manifesting a Sword Domain. It descended upon the world below, countless swords rumbling in unison, unleashing an avalanche of sword qi.

At the same time, the other Great Profound experts launched the strongest attacks they’d been keeping in reserve. They were giving it everything they had.

Kaboom!

Heaven and earth dimmed. Firelight ran rampant. This joint attack was far more terrifying than before.

Su Yi laughed dryly and held back no longer. He took a step forward, robes billowing around him, stretched out his hand, and grabbed.

Bang!!

The descending Sword Domain shattered into pieces, and as the rain of light fell, Su Yi arrived before a Great Profound Stage Sword Sovereign.

“How dare you swing a sword in front of me? You overestimate yourself!” As Su Yi’s calm, contemptuous voice rang out, he swung his finger like a sword.

Boom!

Boundless, tyrannical sword qi descended, like the river of stars descending from the heavens.

One slash, and Su Yi broke through the Sword Sovereign’s defenses, shattered his sword, and split him in two with a spray of fresh flood.

He even left a hundred-thousand-foot, perfectly straight rift in heaven and earth, like a chasm in the sky!

A single, light, airy strike, and he slew a Great Profound Stage Sword Sovereign! This scene left countless onlookers overcome with astonishment.

Practically simultaneously, the other Great Profound experts’ attacks arrived.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

A spear swathed in divine flame, a Daoist seal surging with electricity, a snow-white saber… Every treasure was a supreme weapon within the Great Profound level, but when their terrifying power slammed into Su Yi, his defenses neutralized it completely. The flood of destructive power scattered in all directions on impact.

Those “heaven-shaking” secret arts couldn’t so much as scratch him, either.

He stood tall and upright, a perfectly complete Grand Dao Domain surrounding him on all sides, as unfathomable as an abyss, firm, indestructible, and unshakable.

It truly seemed like nothing was effective against him!

The Great Profound Stage experts were startled and furious. After all, they were already giving it everything they had, but they still couldn’t break Su Yi’s defenses!

And Su Yi heartlessly continued the massacre.

“Die!” His eyes flashed like cold lightning as he leaped into the fray, as tyrannical as a mountain in motion.

Bang!!

The expert closest to him, a ferocious-looking man, exploded into bits, even his soul reduced to powder.

Meanwhile, Su Yi shot through the air and appeared before a man in white.

“Dammit!” The white-robed man’s hair stood on end as he swung his lightning halberd with all his might. At the same time, he retreated explosively backward, trying to create distance between himself and Su Yi.

Clang!!

His halberd shook violently as Su Yi forcefully diverted its path. Practically simultaneously, a burst of dazzling sword qi shot out of Su Yi’s hand.

Countless bloody holes tore open on the white-robed man’s body. His eyes widened, and with one last desperate cry, he died on the spot.

Just like that, two more Great Profound experts had perished. The first was shattered to bits, while the second was left riddled with holes, deflating like a popped waterskin.

Their bloody deaths left countless onlookers astonished.

Meanwhile, the Great Profound experts’ encirclement had completely collapsed. Su Yi had broken out!

“Die!” A calm voice rang out, and Su Yi disappeared into thin air once more.

A moment later, a streak of sword qi descended from the heavens, piercing a woman in a fiery skirt through the skull. Her delicate frame shattered like bamboo.

Only then did the crowd realize that Su Yi had reappeared directly behind her.

It all happened too quickly!

Su Yi came and went like a beam of flowing light, darting freely about the battlefield with unstoppable force, slaughtering Great Profound Immortal Sovereigns like dogs. It was not any more difficult than having a cup of tea.

“Die!”

Two Great Profound experts seized the opportunity to launch a pincer attack.

Su Yi made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he fought them both at once.

Life and death were determined in an instant. Su Yi blocked their all-out, reckless pincer attack with unstoppable force, swinging his hand like a sword to slaughter them both on the spot!

Whoosh!

Fresh blood splattered the air, like transient blood-red suns.

Within just a few blinks of an eye, six people had died!

The remaining Great Profound experts’ courage broke down. They visibly lost their composure, and they unleashed their killer weapons without restraint, no longer daring to hold back.

“Activate!” A man in a tall hat roared in fury and waved his sleeve. A black talisman burst forth.

The talisman was full of calamitous divine power. It manifested a divine mountain in midair, which emanated endless divine flames as it came crashing down to earth.

The other Great Profound experts followed suit.

A vicious bird bathed in purple lightning took to the skies, beating its enormous wings as its sonorous cries shook the nine heavens.

Thirty-six grand and mysterious palaces descended from the heavens, like divine palaces crushing the world below.

Countless demonic figures rose and fell within a hidden world, and dazzling arcs of sword qi whooshed through the sky.

Everything was full of taboo, calamitous power!

It was so terrifying that even the Skyless Darkness Divine Formation shrouding the area in darkness swayed. Like the descent of the apocalypse!

The distant onlookers’ souls palpitated with terror, and they felt stinging pain in their eyes.

It had been a long, long, long time since a chaotic battle of Great Profound experts had taken place in the Immortal Realm. Now, witnessing it with their own eyes, the crowd understood the true meaning of the word “terror” on a visceral level!

Even from extremely far away, they felt suffocated with helplessness and despair. They couldn’t even imagine what it would be like if they were there on that battlefield. What kind of attacks would they face? How terrifying would it be?

Especially now that the Great Profound had cast aside their reservations and launched their killer weapons. Everyone’s hearts and minds were thoroughly intimidated, to the point that they couldn’t even think. They couldn’t even imagine how Su Yi would counter this.

It wasn’t just them, either. Qi Nie and the others watching from Cloudsoar Peak were astonished too. For the first time, they felt that all their far-reaching influence and authority seemed paltry and insignificant!

But in the face of his enemies’ ultimate attacks, Su Yi just laughed dryly. “Ants trying to shake a tree!”

Clang!!

A sword floated above his palm.

Three feet, three inches long, with a blade as pitch-black and impenetrable as an eternal night. Its edge was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and a dreamlike rain of gray light poured from its surface.

A name was carved in tiny characters on the hilt: Human Realm! Indeed, this was very same Sword of the Human Realm!

It was just that it was starkly different from before.

Sword in hand, Su Yi circulated his cultivation base. The clear hum of a sword suddenly resounded throughout the firmament; the sword had awakened, and it was thirsting for blood.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yi took a step forward in the air, clothes billowing around him, and swung his sword.

Boom!!

A streak of sword qi shot into the firmament. Visions of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared reflected within it, as if the Infernal Palace of the Netherworld had appeared within the world of the living.

The Six Paths Sword Wheel!

When this attack landed…

Kaboom!!

All manner of taboo divine powers shattered beneath the sword’s terrifying power.

The towering divine mountain crumbled. The ferocious bird bathed in purple lightning let out a piteous wail as it was crushed. The thirty-six palaces split and fell. All of heaven and earth descended into turmoil, a vision of utter destruction.

In the end, beneath countless astonished gazes, Su Yi single-handedly crushed the killer attacks of twelve Great Profound Immortal Sovereigns at once!

His enemies suffered the brunt of the impact, and it sent them flying. Many of them were badly injured and covered in blood.

A single slash could actually be this powerful!

“Is this the power of reincarnation? Does it really counter even divine power?” someone blurted, quivering from head to toe.

“Great Martial Stage cultivation? He… he’s no Immortal King!” someone roared in fury.

Boom!

The entire area was instantly in uproar. A clamor of voices arose on all sides. Everyone’s eyes widened.

It had only been a few months since Su Yi proved his Dao and became an Immortal King in the Eastern Sea. Everyone in the Immortal Realm knew that by now. Who could have imagined that just a few months later, Su Yi would prove his Dao and establish himself in the Great Martial Stage? This speed of advancement was simply unheard of!

Qi Nie, Xuan Zhong, and the other higher-ups felt as if they’d been struck by lightning.

Only now did they finally understand why Su Yi dared face them alone. His Great Martial Stage cultivation was the source of his confidence! They hadn’t even come close to predicting this!
