Chapter 2368 – At Least One Must Die
That avatar of will was terrifying indeed.
If Su Yi wasn’t mistaken, he was an existence who’d taken half a step onto the River of Destiny.
In the present-day God Domain, someone like that was fully qualified to contend with Di E!
The River Child might have been heaven-defying, but his true combat strength was at most on par with Gu Huaxian and the old hunchback.
Still, Su Yi wasn’t worried. All powers not of this age were subject to a backlash from the God Domain’s Laws!
That avatar of will was no exception.
……
Destructive power swept throughout Sunset Perch Island.
When that ferocious avatar of will appeared, he instantly became the center of attention. His majesty was just too terrifying. Just looking at him was enough to fill onlookers’ hearts with despair!
“Ancestor!” The armored man cried out excitedly at the thought that this might help him escape death.
Qingyang Feng reacted the quickest. He immediately took out the Deep Blue Seastone, obscuring the avatar of will from the Laws of the God Domain.
“Hah? Seeking reinforcements? Shameful!” the River Child said with a sneer.
However, when he looked at that valiant figure, his gaze was solemn.
This was an existence not one whit inferior to Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye. This might just be his avatar of will, but he was still a threat.
But the River Child didn’t shrink back. Even as he spoke, he attacked again without hesitation.
Never mind that avatar of will. If he could break the power of the Deep Blue Seastone, there’d be no need for him to do anything else. The power of the Laws would destroy his enemy for him!
The fierce man’s eyes flashing with imposing light as he suddenly raised his hand and struck the air.
Boom!!
The River Child was forced back, but the power of the Deep Blue Seastone enshrouding the valiant figure broke, too, then churned violently.
Qingyang Feng and the others couldn’t bring themselves to celebrate this.
They were all badly injured. The valiant man was their last hope.
“Better to resolve an enmity than to create a new one. Victory and defeat are already clear. Might you show mercy, sir?” the valiant man asked, his deafening voice booming like thunder.
The River Child said expressionlessly, “His Excellency said that one of you must die today! And I’d like to kill every last one of you!”
“‘His Excellency?’” The valiant man was stunned. His eyes flashed like cold lightning as they instantly locked onto the distant Su Yi.
Moments later, he realized something. It seemed he’d grasped Su Yi’s identity.
He said gravely, “Sir, if you’re willing to let this end here, the three ruling factions of the Epoch of Sumeru will remember this benevolence, and when the Dark Days of Legend arrive, we’ll be sure to repay you!”
All eyes were instantly on Su Yi.
Su Yi, however, didn’t even seem to notice. He just stood there, drinking wine, entirely unperturbed. He paid the man no heed.
He was blatantly ignoring him! This sheer disregard made the valiant man frown.
The River Child, meanwhile, didn’t hesitate to attack again.
Kaboom!
This time, the River Child fought as if his life were on the line, charging directly at Qingyang Feng, the one controlling the Deep Blue Seastone.
Qingyang Feng looked stricken. He realized what the River Child was trying to do, and he immediately hid behind the valiant man’s avatar of will.
“I can help you to intercept them, so seize this chance to run. Hurry!” the valiant man roared, his hair and beard bristling with fury as he swung his palm at the River Child.
Bang!
The River Child was forced back.
The power of the Deep Blue Seastone covering the valiant man shattered with a boom.
But he obviously didn’t care. He attacked repeatedly, suppressing the River Child.
Meanwhile, Qingyang Feng, the woman in white, and the man in armor turned and fled.
They all understood that they’d already lost. If they waited until the valiant man’s avatar of will broke, it would be too late for them to flee!
The River Child attacked like mad, risking it all, but the valiant man was extraordinarily strong, like an enormous, unshakeable mountain. The River Child couldn’t get past him.
Meanwhile, although no one noticed it, Su Yi suddenly vanished.
“When the Dark Days of Legend arrive, I’ll be sure to kill that Su bastard!” growled the armored man.
He, Qingyang Feng, and the woman in white had already fled Sunset Perch Island. They were now shooting into the distance like mad.
The thought of the defeat they’d just suffered filled the armored man with fury. His pent-up anger was so overwhelming that it seemed his chest might well burst.
They’d meticulously planned this death trap, only for it to fall apart.
Worst of all, they’d almost met with disaster!
“Don’t give us that crap! A loss is a loss. All we can say is that we were weaker than them,” the woman in white said icily.
She was undisguisably angry too, but she knew that they hadn’t lost unfairly.
“It’s not that we were weaker, but that we underestimated the Epoch Spark. Who could have imagined that it would counter even the Deep Blue Seastone?” Qingyang Feng said with a deep sigh.
The River Child was heaven-defying, but if not for the Epoch Spark, he’d have struggled to counter the Deep Blue Seastone’s suppression.
“Watch out——!”
Suddenly, the valiant man bellowed, his voice emanating from the distant Sunset Perch Island.
A rusted sheath suddenly descended from the heavens.
Kcch!
A perfectly straight black rift floated into the air, and a rift tore open, splitting time and space.
Boom!
The power of the Deep Blue Seastone covering Qingyang Feng and his allies split like paper.
Their hair stood on end.
“Go!”
“Activate!”
Practically simultaneously, Qingyang Feng and the woman in white drew on their life-saving trump cards, a black jade pearl and a fiery silk belt respectively. Both treasures took to the sky, and each manifested a terrifying avatar of will.
Neither was at all weaker than the valiant man who’d appeared earlier!!
These were Qingyang Feng and the woman’s seniors.
But much to their horror, even after their seniors fought with all their might, that black rift the sheath tore open devoured them in the blink of an eye. They couldn’t even struggle!
Fortunately, the avatars caused enough of a delay that Qingyang Feng and the woman in white escaped a lethal blow, startled but unharmed.
The man in armor wasn’t so fortunate. The mysterious black line swept over him, and he vanished instantly, as if he’d been plunged into an endless abyss.
“Run!”
“Hurry!”
…Qingyang Feng and the woman fled like mad, using evasion arts that sacrificed their own cultivation bases. In the blink of an eye, they’d vanished.
A soft sigh rang out.
Su Yi appeared shortly after, then gazed in the direction the two of them had fled in. His expression suggested that he found this a bit of a pity.
He hadn’t anticipated that the two of them had brought such terrifying avatars of will with them, too.
It was this very hidden card that had let them escape what should have been a surefire kill.
Fortunately, he’d at least killed one of them.
“Dammit——!!” The valiant man roared from the shores of Sunset Perch Island, his voice full of rage and grief.
The armored man’s death had obviously deeply provoked him.
A moment later, the valiant man whipped around and charged at Su Yi as if he’d gone mad. His whole body burned, and his aura stirred up heaven and earth, startling the Laws of the surrounding area.
Strange, calamitous visions appeared reflected in the dome of heaven, and the power of the Laws condensed into chains of divine lightning full of grinding, destructive power.
They descended upon the valiant man, but he obviously didn’t care. He just charged at Su Yi and roared.
Boom!
His body exploded into a streak of blazing light, then ripped through the sky. He was obviously intent on dragging Su Yi down with him.
“Watch out, Your Excellency——!” The River Child frantically gave chase, but he was ultimately one step too late.
There was no denying it. Su Yi really did sense an incomparably lethal threat this time.
But his expression remained calm, and he just stood there. He didn’t even bat an eye.
When he raised that rusted sheath…
Whoosh!
The sky churned violently in front of him, transforming into a strange, mysterious black hole to another spacetime.
The flame that was the valiant man shot toward it, then silently vanished into that strange black hole.
The air didn’t so much as ripple around him.
When the River Child saw this from afar, he was unwittingly stunned. What the hell is that!?
That black hole was just too sinister. A single look was enough to make even a spirit of the natural order like him feel intense unease.
Su Yi’s wrist shifted, and he put the rusted sheath away.
That mysterious black hole instantly vanished.
“It’s a pity about that taboo treasure. If we’d seized it, I might have… argh!” The voice of his first incarnation’s heart devil emanated from within the rusted sheath. “You ought to grow stronger. You failed to hold an opponent like that back. That really shouldn’t have happened.”
Su Yi could tell that his first incarnation’s heart devil was a bit displeased with him.
His expression didn’t waver. “Ultimately, you were the problem. If you’d used stronger abilities, how could he possibly have escaped?”
The heart devil said, “I’m trapped in this blasted sheath. I have all manner of all-encompassing abilities, but it’s hard to display even a tenth of them. Also, I warned you about this earlier: you’re the one using the sheath, and your strength is what decides its power, as well as my ability to fight!”
Su Yi didn’t argue. His first incarnation’s heart devil really had told him all that.
“A taboo treasure, that’s all. What does it matter? I’m sure we’ll get other opportunities later,” said Su Yi. “Also, you suggested this cooperation, so we don’t owe each other anything.”
The heart devil said suddenly, “Is it that you didn’t want me to acquire that taboo treasure? Are you afraid that it would strengthen me and let me break free of the sheath?”
Su Yi’s eyes narrowed, and he said openly, “I am indeed worried about exactly that, but I naturally thought through the potential consequences before agreeing to work with you.”
The heart devil seemed pleased with this answer. “Then I won’t lie to you. I’m gathering taboo treasures to refine their source powers and recover my vitality, but… taboo treasures alone won’t be enough to free me from this blasted sheath.”
Su Yi said, “Then what would help you escape confinement?”
The heart devil laughed. “Don’t bother asking. There’s no way I’ll tell you.”
He’d only just said this when the rusted sheath shook, and a black rift appeared in the nearby skies.
Moments later, a swath of blood-red Dao Light floated out of the rift.
Upon closer inspection, the blood-red light was actually a set of glowing bronze armor. It had just shrunk countless times over!
It was now only the size of a fist, but it manifested a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, the collapse of the Grand Dao, and all manner of other visions of destruction. Its bloody, baleful aura was so dense it seemed almost tangible, and it was utterly imposing.
Su Yi recognized it at a glance. This was the armored man’s Blood-Drinking Demon Armor!
It was a wondrous and terrifying Undying treasure capable of multiplying the wearer’s strength!
In the prior battle, the armored man had used it to display all manner of wondrous divine abilities. It was utterly unbelievable.
“I’ll give you this little toy,” said the heart devil. “These are the advantages of cooperating with me. Help me, and you’ll be rewarded in turn!”
