Chapter 2306 – Racing Uphill
Bang!
The whip of divine punishment lashed into Su Yi.
However, the anticipated result, seeing Su Yi badly injured, didn’t manifest. Instead, the whip of divine punishment collapsed and broke, inch by inch.
Su Yi, meanwhile, was completely unharmed, without so much as a hair out of place.
Everyone was left stunned. What’s going on!?
Over by the Divine Dao Fortune Stele, the Mountain Guardian’s eyes flashed with confusion. That shouldn’t have happened. That strike would have been enough to tear open the flesh of even a Nine-Tribulation Master God, so why is that kid completely unharmed?
Although no one knew it, when the power of divine punishment struck Su Yi, the Epoch Spark instantly devoured it. Thus, he was entirely uninjured.
Su Yi was surprised too.
When Li Fuyou and Yi Daoxuan challenged Blue Sky Divine Mountain, others initiated struggles for fortune with them, too. Both had staved off their challengers relying purely on their own strength.
Thus, Su Yi had a thorough understanding of the power of divine punishment. That was what gave him the confidence to attack.
He knew he could take it.
He would never have guessed that the Epoch Spark had such a wondrous application. It acted as if it had encountered a wondrous delicacy, devouring the power of divine punishment down to the last drop!
Su Yi noticed that the Epoch Spark didn’t really change in the process. At most, the rain of chaos light around it was slightly more solid.
But the difference was subtle, and just barely noticeable.
There was no doubt about it. Although the power it had absorbed earlier was a delicacy, it was far from enough to transform the Epoch Spark.
It was, at best, an appetizer.
But this discovery nonetheless made Su Yi’s spirits soar.
This meant that, so long as he had the Epoch Spark, he could climb the mountain heedless of divine punishment!!
When Su Yi realized this, he instinctively glanced at the opponents further down the mountain. Then, he laughed and returned from whence he came, charging at those blocking the path behind him.
“This…” Everyone was flabbergasted. What is Su Yi doing? Instead of climbing the mountain, he’s targeting his enemies further down the slopes? Isn’t he afraid of divine punishment!?
The gods blocking his path were dumbstruck. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that Su Yi would charge at them like this!
But they had no time to give the matter any further thought. Su Yi was already headed right toward them.
Kaboom!
A grand battle broke out.
At Su Yi’s current strength, defeating Five-Tribulation Master Gods was well within his abilities, let alone Mid-Rank and Greater Gods like these. He swept through the crowd like a divine sword of unparalleled sharpness. Wherever he went, gods were sent flying.
Nothing could stand in his way!
Desperate cries rose and fell in waves. Fresh blood splattered the sky like fireworks.
Throughout the battle, the resplendent power of divine punishment ruthlessly lashed at Su Yi, but without exception, the Epoch Spark absorbed it all.
Just a few snaps of the fingers later.
Su Yi had swept through over one hundred experts.
The most ridiculous part was that some of them fled of their own accord, too terrified of Su Yi’s divine majesty to even put up a fight.
The opponents Su Yi sent flying were in no danger of losing their lives, but the outcome was brutal nonetheless.
Those whose flesh was merely ripped open were lucky. Some of the Master Gods’ bodies were completely blasted into pieces!
All of this left the onlookers completely gobsmacked. They almost thought they were seeing things.
The power of divine punishment couldn’t threaten Su Yi at all!
On the contrary, he swept through his opponents like wind sweeping away fragments of clouds. He’d defeated everyone trying to intercept him in a single burst of effort!
Who’d have believed this was possible?
“Senior Su, I’m not with them!” A tall, stalwart man said from further down the mountain. He was quivering from head to toe, drenched in cold sweat, and stammering with fear that Su Yi would misunderstand.
“Of course you aren’t,” said Su Yi. “If you were, you’d have been disqualified by now.”
With that, he placed his hands behind his back and continued up the mountain.
His relaxed bearing made Master God Yun He, Liuxiang Hen, and the other old-timers glower.
“Hahaha, satisfying! How satisfying! What do you call this? ‘Trying to steal a chicken, only to lose the rice you tried to bait it with,’ right?” Wan Zitian threw back his head and laughed. His voice was full of mockery.
“Hmph!” Master God Yun He said coldly. He suddenly looked at the Mountain Guardian seated before the Divine Dao Fortune Stele.
“Su Yi is using external power to resist the power of divine punishment. That’s no different from cheating. Surely you aren’t going to remain uninvolved?”
His voice boomed throughout the area.
Many of the others had been confused about the same thing. Divine punishment really wasn’t affecting Su Yi; it was ridiculous!
“External power?” The Mountain Guardian said staunchly, “No one has been able to use external power on Blue Sky Divine Mountain since its inception!
“Besides, divine punishment originates from the mountain’s source. What external power do you think could contend with it?”
Master God Yun He’s expression was unsightly. “Reincarnation?”
The Mountain Guardian shook his head. “One’s cultivation base determines the strength of the power of their Grand Dao. Unless someone steps into Eternity, no power of the Grand Dao could save them from divine punishment.”
Master God Yun He was so angry that he laughed. “But as you can see, he’s just a Mid-Rank God, yet the power of divine punishment isn’t damaging or disqualifying him. Don’t tell me that doesn’t count as using external power to cheat?
The Mountain Guardian mulled that over, then said, “How about… You tell your subordinates to cheat, too?”
“…” Master God Yun He was so angry that he almost wanted to attack. That damn fatty… How could he be so unreasonable!?
The Mountain Guardian scanned the crowd and laughed. “If you think you can cheat on Blue Sky Divine Mountain, you’re completely welcome to try it.”
The crowd exchanged glances.
“If you can’t, then don’t even try to point the finger at other people.” The Mountain Guardian rumbled his fatty cheeks and sighed. “Is it really that hard to acknowledge other people’s strength?”
Master God Yun He’s expression darkened, but he said no more on the matter.
The Mountain Guardian was the spirit of the stele, and his origins were mysterious. He was like the master of the Celestial Capital. No one would be stupid enough to offend a local serpent like him.
Meanwhile, as Su Yi continued his ascent, he ran into numerous experts. All of them hurriedly cleared a path as he approached for fear that he’d misunderstand.
Su Yi took this in with a smile.
Inwardly, he was counting up how many people he’d defeated earlier. Just over one hundred and thirty in total.
Even though it hadn’t been long since they’d stepped onto the mountain, all of them had gathered a portion of Supreme Emergence Fortune Power.
When Su Yi could advance no further, all of their Supreme Emergence Fortune Power would become his!
“If I recall, you’re… from Eight Views Grotto, right?” Su Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks and gazed at a distant goddess.
The goddess in question, a woman in ornate robes, instantly paled. “I didn’t try to intercept you. S-stay away from me!”
Bang!
A moment later, Su Yi struck from afar and sent her flying.
As she flew through the air, she cursed him out, only to slam to the ground moments later, sprawled out and utterly wretched.
The third-generation patriarch of Eight Views Grotto, Yue Youyuan, was ashen with anger.
Su Yi, meanwhile, was already continuing his ascent.
Whenever he recognized an expert of a hostile faction, he swiftly sent them flying out of bounds, no exceptions.
His forceful, tyrannical conduct left countless onlookers wide-eyed with astonishment.
Master God Yun He, Liuxiang Hen, and the others’ fury accumulated in their chests. Each looked more unsightly than the one before.
They really had miscalculated. They’d planned on using the power of divine punishment to eliminate Su Yi from the competition.
They’d never even considered the possibility that it wouldn’t even be able to scratch him!
Meanwhile, numerous figures had gathered halfway up the mountain. Some had long since given up on making any further progress, while others were resting up before continuing their challenge.
When they saw Su Yi approach, their expression shifted.
The reason was simple.
Some of them were experts of hostile factions, and they’d been waiting here just in case Su Yi made it this far. Their job was to attack him en masse and prevent him from climbing any further.
But after witnessing Su Yi’s tyrannical methods on his way here, their hearts were full of dread. They were now hesitant.
Before long, Su Yi reached the halfway point of the mountain. The atmosphere was instantly tense.
The path before Su Yi was completely empty. No one stood in his way.
That meant he could continue uphill without interference.
But Su Yi did no such thing. Those who’d reached the midway point were all extraordinary figures. Their accumulated Supreme Emergence Fortune Power was far greater than that of those he’d defeated before.
More importantly, some of those here could actually put up a fight!
“Brother Su, those guys are your enemies!” Si Ming, the inheritor of Clear Breeze Daoist Temple, stepped forth with a laugh and gestured to experts of hostile factions.
All of their expressions darkened. They longed for nothing more than to slaughter Si Ming.
They’d thought they’d be able to elude Su Yi’s notice, yet now, Si Ming had gone and pointed them out! How could they not be furious?
Su Yi looked at Si Ming in surprise. “Why stop here?”
Si Ming said forthrightly, “I was waiting here so that I could point out your enemies for you.”
“….” The crowd didn’t know what to say. How can you do that!?
Master God Yun He and the others were so furious that their noses practically went crooked. The disciple of the old man who refuses to die is simply loathsome!!
“In that case, thank you very much,” said Su Yi.
“Attack together! Get him!” Some of Su Yi’s enemies realized they wouldn’t be able to escape, so they gnashed their teeth and attacked directly.
There were around ten of them, all of them top figures among Greater Gods. These were the greatest experts to be found beneath the Master God level. When they attacked together, their power was naturally extraordinary.
Alas, opponents like these had long since ceased to be enough to threaten Su Yi. Even if their numbers had been far greater, it wouldn’t have been enough.
Kaboom!
A grand battle broke out. Su Yi was like a tiger among sheep. Within just a few blinks of an eye, he’d swept through all of his opponents.
The most ridiculous of them was a handsome, silver-robed man from the Three Purities Daoist Court.
Before Su Yi even struck him, he turned and fled. Before he did, he shouted that there was absolutely no way he’d give Su Yi the chance to seize his Supreme Emergence Fortune Power…
This ridiculous scene amused Wan Zitian so much that he burst into sputtering laughter. Laughter spread throughout the crowd, too.
Master God Yun He, meanwhile, was overcome with shame. The corners of his lips twitched.
When the silver-robed man returned, Master God Yun He slapped him across the face. “Worthless!”
Whap!!
The silver-robed man fell onto his butt, his cheeks red and swollen.
The crowd fell as silent as cicadas in winter. Even the uproarious laughter vanished.
The atmosphere was oppressive. Everyone could tell that Master God Yun He was furious!
