First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 2694 - She Leaves Them in the Dust, for They Are Nothing in Her Eyes



Chapter 2694 – She Leaves Them in the Dust, for They Are Nothing in Her Eyes

Su Wanjun’s sword force had already blanketed the endless expanse of time and space. The four Heavenly Sovereigns felt as if they stood amidst turbulent seas.

There was no end to the plum blossom petals!

Moreover, with every step Su Wanjun took, the sword force filling time and space grew even more terrifying, and the flying petals grew even more fearsome. They were forceful to an unbelievable degree.

Each individual petal could kill a Heavenly Monarch with ease!

Now, the four Heavenly Sovereigns finally saw this mysterious woman’s terrifying power firsthand.

She disdained to attack directly, instead proceeding into the endless void, but her sword force was like a churning, explosive sea. It blocked the Heavenly Sovereigns’ full-force attacks.

Try as they might, they couldn’t break through it! How intimidating was that?

Had she wanted to kill them, the battle would have been over by now.

The Heavenly Sovereigns had lived for a long, long time, and they’d seen their share of the ups and downs of worldly affairs. They’d faced no small number of drastic changes and threats to their lives.

All of them were like living legends, ancient and inextinguishable. They could decide the life and death of anyone in the Five Realms of Eternity at whim!

Only others of the same level were truly fit to be their opponents! And only those from the Far Shore of Destiny could strike terror into their hearts.

This situation astonished them, but more than that, it made them realize that this was almost certainly an expert from the Far Shore of Destiny!

Otherwise, the mere sword force emanating from her could never have left Heavenly Sovereigns like them so wretched.

Admittedly, these were just their clones. They had less than one percent of the strength of their real bodies.

But don’t forget that their opponent’s cultivation base was suppressed too, and that she’d deliberately adjusted her cultivation base prior to battle for fear of destroying the surrounding spacetime!

As their thoughts raced, the four Heavenly Sovereigns attacked with all their might, not daring to hesitate any further.

Boom!

The endless expanse of time and space churned and swayed as if about to topple.

Four Heavenly Sovereigns were fighting together, but they knew they couldn’t defeat their opponent. All they sought was to protect themselves!

Much to their horror, as the woman in white advanced further and further into that endless expanse of time and space, the sword force filling it intensified, becoming even more terrifying and tyrannical.

The blood-red plum blossoms danced about, as if carried about by raging winds of sword intent.

Even when the four Heavenly Sovereigns worked together, they were relentlessly suppressed!

They now felt trapped in a deep sea current. The more they struggled, the more terrifying the pressure.

What divine abilities? What killer weapons? That terrifying sword force shattered them all, wounding them in the process!

The Heavenly Sovereigns felt like grain in a mill. First, their skins split and their flesh broke. Then, their bones and tendons snapped. Finally, their organs caved in and tore, inch by inch.

They couldn’t even unleash their essence, qi, and spirit. It was relentlessly ground away.

“How… How could she be so strong…?” Di E’s eyes widened in bewilderment.

A woman walked alone through endless time and space, working hard to adjust her cultivation base simply because she couldn’t bear the thought of destroying it.

In her eyes, this endless expanse of time and space was too fragile!

She disdained to fight directly because the Heavenly Sovereigns and Heavenly Monarchs meant nothing to her. All she said was she was going to the River of Destiny, and that if they couldn’t block her, they’d die.

And indeed, the Heavenly Monarchs died shortly after.

The Heavenly Sovereigns couldn’t help them; they were like mud bodhisattvas trying to cross a river, struggling even to save themselves.

Now, the Heavenly Sovereigns felt more like grain in a mill, their struggles to no avail. They could only watch helplessly as their bodies were ground away, inch by inch.

All of this came as far too great a shock to Heavenly Sovereign E.

She’s from the Far Shore of the River of Destiny, I’m sure of it! This thought had only just occurred to him when he shattered into pieces and vanished into the endless sword force.

His clone was truly obliterated. Not even the barest vestige of it remained.

“I’ll avenge this insult another day!” roared Heavenly Sovereign Ling.

They’d been waiting and preparing for today’s Battle for Order for countless years. They’d thought they could pluck a unique, unprecedented Dao Fruit and compete for that mysterious ancient cauldron.

But now, it seemed that even Heavenly Sovereigns like them would struggle to escape calamity. Who could possibly accept this?

Bang!

Heavenly Sovereign Ling’s body dissipated as he met with the same end as Heavenly Sovereign E.

“It’s a pity. Our plans failed at the last step,” said Heavenly Sovereign Changhen with a sigh.

This was just a clone. He could bear its destruction, but these developments had nonetheless taken a heavy toll on him. He had a strong premonition that going forward, his true body would struggle to maintain his rule over the River of Destiny!

This wasn’t simply because of the arrival of the woman in white. It was because of the Far Shore of the River of Destiny’s involvement.

Heavenly Sovereign Changhen’s figure was silently ground away, obliterated into nothingness.

“She… really doesn’t see us as her opponents, huh…?” Heavenly Sovereign Yaoguang saw the woman in white vanishing deeper into endless time and space.

From beginning to end, she hadn’t said so much as a single additional word to them. She hadn’t looked back, either, and she certainly hadn’t expressed any interest in whether they lived or died.

They were nothing in her eyes. She’d left them in the dust!

Even Heavenly Sovereign Yaoguang couldn’t help but feel impressed. He couldn’t even imagine what kind of terrifying cultivation base was needed to be so terrifyingly strong.

In the last moments before Heavenly Sovereign Yaoguang’s clone vanished, he looked at Red Pine Mountain with great difficulty.

The man he saw as “Dao Fruit” was still sitting there, cross-legged, not moving a muscle, but the situation had changed dramatically around him.

Were someone standing in the God Domain to gaze deep into the firmament, they’d have seen a woman in white proceeding deeper and deeper into an endless expanse of time and space, as if ascending the heavens.

With every step she took, she scattered countless flower petals, like blazing plum blossoms.

But when the seemingly delicate petals landed, they silently extinguished over a dozen Heavenly Monarchs, as well as four Heavenly Sovereigns’ clones!

As the flower petals withered, that white-robed figure vanished into the endless expanse of time and space.

She carried a streak of red sword qi, but she hadn’t swung it even once. She was just rushing along, scattering a flurry of flowers to bury those foolish enough to block her path.

Su Yi sat there, heart full of indescribable astonishment. Waves of emotion coursed through him.

But the thought that Xiao Jian had died in battle quickly dampened his excitement.

The black sheep stood there, eyes flickering with uncertainty. She sat there, pondering and comparing, but in the end, she was even more confused.

The woman in white had never really attacked, so there was no way of guessing how high her cultivation base really was!

How fitting for one of my father’s old friends. Only senior members of my family can compare, thought Lin Jinghong, her eyes sparkling. She’d long since put away her treasures.

She was relatively calm, not because she was ignorant of the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth, but because she was far, far too aware of them!

But this isn’t over yet. That senior never attacked because her true opponents were never that riffraff blocking her path, thought Lin Jinghong.

The endless expanse of time and space hadn’t collapsed, and the aftershock hadn’t reached the God Domain, but the calamitous scenery beneath the dome of heaven had astonished countless living beings.

It was completely beyond the bounds of their comprehension. Almost no one truly understood what had happened there.

Su Yi set aside his scattered thoughts to focus on the mysterious power competing with him for Red Pine Mountain’s chaos source.

The yellow finch stood not far away, silently overseeing things.

Meanwhile, on the River of Destiny, waves churned, and the eternal current flowed.

A young monk’s robes billowed around him. With every step he took, a lotus platform bloomed beneath his feet.

The lotus platform swayed. It looked ethereal, but it could effortlessly stave off the fierce currents of the River of Destiny.

When he arrived here, the young monk visibly sighed in relief. I finally escaped that shallow pond…

Indescribable ruefulness filled his heart.

He’d returned!

He thought back to that day, the day he almost proved his Dao, only to fail at the last step. In the end, he met with a Karmic Tribulation and plummeted from Eternity.

His three selves each produced an incarnation of negative karma, trapping him for ages.

But now, he’d returned! He hadn’t just shattered his negative karma; he’d even fully fused his three selves, establishing an Eternal Dao Root far stronger than before!

His foundations, strength, and latent potential were all far beyond his past self. It was as if he’d achieved rebirth.

Now, with every step he took, a lotus bloomed, his aura transforming every step into a separate heaven and earth.

Boom!

His aura rumbled and boomed, and dazzling, resplendent light of wisdom flowed over his skin.

A black alms bowl hovered over his head, reflecting the future.

A blue lamp floated before him, its perpetual, inextinguishable glow illuminating the past.

A twenty-four-tiered lotus platform was there beneath his feet.

With every step he took, Sanskrit chanting emanated from him, and endless Buddhist light glowed with Sanskrit sutras.

He was like a pure land in human form, or a peak Buddhist temple condensed into a single person!

It’s a pity that so many unexpected developments arose today. I thought I could pluck that Dao Fruit, seize the tripod cauldron, and advance even further, sighed the young monk.

When he thought of the mysterious woman in white, he struggled to calm down. It was the sudden arrival of this unreasonably terrifying expert that had ruined everything!

As for the little girl in the bronze mask? The monk didn’t take her intervention to heart.

Hm? The young monk silently stopped in place. He wasn’t sure when, but a woman in white had appeared ahead of him on the River of Destiny, her cold, clear gaze locked onto him.

“You chased me all the way to the River of Destiny? Was that really necessary?” he asked with a bitter laugh.

Although he said this, his aura silently expanded, growing immeasurably vast, and his eyes surged with murderous intent.

On the River of Destiny, he had no need for reservations. He could fight unimpeded, like a furious Golden Vajra, and the heart of a slayer of dragons and hunter of tigers.

Here, he wasn’t afraid to face the woman in white!
