First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 2425 - A Grand Tribulation



Chapter 2425 – A Grand Tribulation

A dried-up well silently appeared beneath the dome of heaven.

Everyone else present noticed it, too.

“The Well of Turbulent Daos!” Luo Yao’s eyes widened. What’s going on today? It’s not just the Tribulation of the Five Witherings. Now, even that strange, taboo ancient well has shown up?

“The Well of Turbulent Daos? Don’t tell me…” Demon Emperor Chi Nie seemed to realize something, and his eyes erupted with strange light.

Boom—!

As the crowd looked on in bewilderment, the Well of Turbulent Daos shifted through the air, suddenly erupting with divine chaos light brimming with destructive power. It tore through the sky, slamming ruthlessly into the blood-red clouds of the Tribulation of the Five Witherings.

Two catastrophic powers clashed, exploding the entire stretch of sky. Everything was in chaos, and tyrannical tribulation light swept outward.

The rain manifested of the Tribulation of the Five Witherings was just about to fall down to earth when the chaos light of the well blocked it.

For a moment, the entire stretch of sky was beset by turbulent currents of destructive power. Everything descended into chaos.

The onlookers’ hearts filled with astonishment and disbelief just watching it.

How terrifying was the Tribulation of the Five Witherings? It could grind away an entire area, slaying every expert in it with ease.

Who could have imagined that the arrival of an ancient dried-up well would block its power?

Su Yi’s heart sank.

He really had seen the Tribulation of the Five Witherings as a killer weapon. He figured that when it erupted, it would be enough to slay every last Outsider Celestial Demon here.

And he had the Epoch Spark, so he could ensure the tribulation didn’t reach Luo Yao and the others.

Yet now, his plans had come to naught. The arrival of the Well of Turbulent Daos had blocked the Tribulation of the Five Witherings!

But Su Yi noticed that although the well blocked the tribulation, it was clearly struggling. It wouldn’t last long!

It was then that an ethereal, abstruse voice emanated from within the well, booming far and wide. “Don’t just stand there. Carry out Old Man Heart Demon’s plans. Hurry!”

Everyone was startled.

So, this really is a countermeasure arranged to defeat me. Su Yi’s eyebrows rose slightly. If all is as I suspect, the well’s appearance has something to do with the Dipankara Buddha.

It’s just, who’s hidden in the well, and how did they manage to control a taboo treasure capable of bringing disaster onto the entire God Domain?

When they heard the ethereal voice emanating from within the well, the surviving Demon Emperors went mad with delight. So, the well is here to help us!!

“Quick, attack! Kill the hostages!” roared Demon Emperor Chi Nie. “Everyone else, stay put. If any of you dare flee in panic, I’ll kill you without mercy!”

The pandemonium in the demons’ ranks instantly died down. The formerly frantic demons were much calmer.

The blood-robed man returned his attention to the suspended captives.

Demon Emperor Lie Yun grinned with mad delight. Although he didn’t say a word, his laughter was a blatant expression of disrespect for Su Yi.

He attacked with greater ferocity, relentlessly suppressing Su Yi.

Su Yi’s injuries piled on. They were as severe as could be, and his wounds flowed with an endless stream of blood.

Without any further hesitation, he drew the rusted sword sheath.

Kcch!

A black line cleaved through heaven and earth, as if severing the connection between them and creating a spacetime rift in between.

Demon Emperor Lie Yun’s hair stood on end, and he immediately dodged. He could sense a lethal threat!

Su Yi didn’t give chase. He’d set his entire cultivation base ablaze when drawing on the sheath’s power.

Boom!

You can’t build without breaking something first. Similarly, as dire as Su Yi’s wounds looked, and as depleted as his cultivation base was… he wasn’t an arrow at the end of his flight. On the contrary, this was the perfect opportunity to break through!

When he unleashed the full extent of his cultivation base, dark tribulation clouds surged beneath the distant dome of heaven.

As soon as they appeared, the starkly different calamitous powers of the Tribulation of the Five Witherings and the Well of Turbulent Daos swept out like a windstorm.

“This…” The man in blood-red robes had only just raised his hammer when he froze. A chill coursed through his entire body. What? Another type of calamitous power has appeared!?

Startled cries arose throughout the area.

“What a terrifying tribulation!”

“What’s going on this time?”

“It’s Su Yi! That’s his Undying Realm Grand Tribulation!”

“What Greater God could possibly invite such a terrifying tribulation?”

“Right? Its aura feels even more unsettling than the Tribulation of the Five Witherings…”

The Outsider Celestial Demon army barely had time to celebrate their reinforcements before they were unwittingly struck dumb.

Demon Emperor Chi NIe and the others’ smiles froze in place. All of them were startled, because they could sense the situation the most keenly. This calamitous aura really was even more terrifying than the Tribulation of the Five Witherings!

“Is Daoist Brother Fuyou seeking life in the face of death?” murmured Luo Yao. She and her companions could sense how dangerous this tribulation was, too.

They thought back to the tribulations Su Yi had welcomed over the years, and how strange and terrifying they’d been.

It was to the point that every time, he’d opened a corner of the River of Destiny!

But at the same time, they could never have anticipated that Su Yi’s tribulation would be even more intimidating than the Tribulation of the Five Witherings. It was completely unbelievable.

“Lie Yun, hurry up and kill him!!” roared Demon Emperor Chi Nie. He could sense that this didn’t bode well.

Demon Emperor Lie Yun was closest to Su Yi, and he sensed the problem the moment Su Yi welcomed his grand tribulation.

Thus, by the time Emperor Chi Nie issued orders, he’d already attacked without hesitation, swinging his bone spear with all his might.

“Die!!”

Demon Emperor Lie Yun didn’t hesitate to attack at the cost of damaging his cultivation base, unleashing greater power than ever before.

But even in the face of this powerful strike, Su Yi didn’t dodge. Instead, he drew upon the full extent of his strength and clashed with Demon Emperor Lie Yun head-on.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out, and destructive power swept outward.

Su Yi’s body exploded, and his soul scattered into a rain of light.

Startled cries arose throughout the area. The blood drained from Luo Yao and the others’ faces, and they felt as if they’d been struck by lightning. Dead?

Their minds went blank. They couldn’t accept this. How could he be dead?

Demon Emperor Chi Nie and the others were instantly excited. They exchanged glances, and they couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Who could possibly survive having their body destroyed and their soul shattered?

But Demon Emperor Lie Yun furrowed his brow, his eyes wide.

Given his strength, defeating a Greater God should have been as easy as drinking a cup of tea or having a meal. It was unbelievable that Su Yi had lasted this long.

But…

When he blasted Su Yi to bits, Demon Emperor Lie Yun felt strange; he didn’t quite dare to believe it.

Moments later, he realized what was wrong.

Su Yi’s tribulation still hung overhead. It hadn’t just not dissipated; it was getting even denser and more imposing!

Meanwhile, the scattered remnants of Su Yi’s body and soul were swathed in light. They wriggled and shrank continuously, all the while emanating strange and mysterious energy fluctuations.

A calm voice emanated from the bundle of light. “Many thanks for helping me shatter the fetters of the body. Now, I can truly rebuild myself!”

That was Su Yi’s voice!

Demon Emperor Lie Yun’s face was instantly ashen and unsightly. He roared in fury and attacked that bundle of light with all his might.

But he was one step too late.

The bundle of light vanished into thin air, then reappeared beneath the dome of heaven.

“He isn’t dead!!” roared Demon Emperor Lie Yun, eyes bloodshot and expression hideous. He was intensely unwilling to accept this, and utterly furious, to the point that he’d completely lost his temper.

He isn’t dead? Everyone was stunned.

Luo Yao and the others reacted as if awakening from a dream. When they finally saw the situation clearly, they were both shocked and delighted.

Demon Emperor Chi Nie and the others’ expressions, meanwhile, were incomparably unsightly. They were both shocked and furious.

They’d prepared thoroughly for today’s confrontation. They would never have guessed that Su Yi would nonetheless seize an opportunity to break through in the face of life and death!

“Kill! Kill the hostages!” roared Demon Emperor Chi Nie. As he spoke, he attacked personally, shifting through the air and swinging his palm at the suspended captives.

Su Yi had yet to truly overcome his tribulation, so what he had to do now was kill the captives and destroy Su Yi’s Dao Heart. That would result in him failing his tribulation!

But just as he was about to strike——

Boom!!

A streak of dazzling tribulation light pierced the sky, tearing through the Tribulation of the Five Witherings and scattering the divine chaos light of the Well of Turbulent Daos before shooting toward Demon Emperor Chi Nie.

Chi Nie panicked, then paled. In the face of his imminent death, he forced himself to change course and retreated explosively.

Kcch!

The tribulation light shot past him and slammed into the ground, where it eradicated the entire area, reducing it to rubble.

The thousand or so Outsider Celestial Demons there were reduced to ash before they even knew what hit them.

Although Demon Emperor Chi Nie managed to dodge, the light had brushed him, burning half of his body to ash. He roared in agony.

The sight left countless onlookers overcome with horror. It was just too scary!

Wherever that tribulation went, neither the Tribulation of the Five Witherings nor the Well of Turbulent Daos could stand in its way. Even Demon Emperor Chi Nie and the others almost lost their lives!

It was only now that Luo Yao and the others finally realized that the tribulation light had attacked Chi Nie because that bundle enveloping Su Yi’s shattered form had appeared beside him.

The same thought rose unbidden to their minds. He’s redirecting a crisis onto his enemy!

Su Yi had indeed used his tribulation to defeat Demon Emperor Chi Nie!

“Quick! Attack, all of you. Kill the hostages and everyone in Dao-Seeking City. Hurry!” roared the badly injured Demon Emperor Chi Nie.

He knew that the moment Su Yi successfully overcame his tribulation, their plans would be ruined. Thus, they had to do everything in their power to disrupt Su Yi.

But… all of their efforts were too late.

Kaboom!

Heaven and earth were overturned. The mountains and rivers shifted.

It was then that Su Yi’s tribulation erupted in full force. Tribulation clouds surged, and a boundless waterfall of tribulation light came crashing down.

The Tribulation of the Five Witherings receded, then vanished without a trace.

The Well of Turbulent Daos flew off like a startled bird, flying out of the affected area in a flash.

Demon Emperor Chi Nie’s razors and urging were drowned out by the thunderous rumbling of the tribulation.

But no one paid his orders any heed anymore. All of the Outsider Celestial Demons scampered off in panic. Even Lie Yun and the other Demon Emperors were no exceptions.

Everyone feared nothing more than the tribulation reaching them!

Only the suspended captives were unaffected. They didn’t flee, but all of them were suspended in midair by a bundle of light.

The very same bundle of light that contained the shattered remnants of Su Yi’s body and soul!
