Chapter 2761 – I Just Hate That I Haven’t Read Enough Books
The boy in green seethed with murderous intent.
The sword underwent a shocking transformation, too. Countless bloodstains appeared on its pristine white blade, and dense sword qi condensed into droplets of blood and dripped from the hilt.
The terrifying sword qi swept forth like a tidal wave or avalanche. It continuously assailed the walls of the prison, making them rumble without end.
“I said, what exactly are you?” Su Yi raised his right hand, and a giant hand seemed to envelop the entire prison. No matter how the sword qi assailed its walls, it no longer budged.
The little boy in green frowned in bewilderment. “You grasped the Divine Hunt Edict?”
A streak of blood-red power of the laws descended from the prison and slammed into him, cracking like a whip. The sword shook, and a bundle of blood-red light erupted from the boy’s body. His face contorted with agony.
“Now do you think I’ve got guts or not?” Su Yi asked with a laugh.
The little boy shot to his feet and cursed. “So you’re the one who prevented me from leaving earlier, you bastard! Just you wait. I’ll stab you to death!”
Boom!
The sword shot forward explosively, then swung with ruthless ferocity. The entire prison shook; it seemed it would soon break.
Su Yi closed his hand and exerted his will. Countless chains of blood-red Laws surged forth, instantly neutralizing the sword’s power.
This was the power of the Divine Hunt Edict!
Earlier, Heavenly Sovereign Ku Xuan had wondered how a mere Unfettered Realm Dao Lord like Su Yi could suppress that vicious sword with a hand gesture, but his clone was destroyed before he could figure it out.
In truth, the reason was simple. While Su Yi was sitting in front of the stone stele, he didn’t actually manage to fully comprehend or master the Divine Hunt Edict, but he did manage to use the combination of Profound Ruin and the Sword of the Nine Hells to borrow the power of the stele’s Divine Hunt Edict.
The Edict’s power transformed into an imprint beneath the Sword of the Nine Hells. There, it was as meek as a sheep, unable to even struggle.
That was when the stone stele shattered.
The sword had almost escaped then because the Divine Hunt Edict was no longer there to suppress it.
Similarly, when Su Yi stood over the Mountain of Bitter Rains and suppressed the sword with a gesture, he did so by using the Divine Hunt Edict suppressed by the Sword of the Nine Hells.
Now, he was doing it again, effortlessly controlling the prison to suppress the vicious sword and the boy in green.
“The Edict’s power has all but been frittered away. I refuse to believe it’ll last much longer!” said the boy, clearly vexed. He shot back into the sword.
Boom!
The sword instantly had newfound spirituality. It flew about the cage, attacking like mad, creating a windstorm of sword qi that relentlessly battered its prison.
Su Yi closed his hand, and the cage shrank continuously. That dense, terrifying sword qi was instantly suppressed.
In the end, the prison became a sword case, the sword sealed fully inside, unable to budge.
Only the child’s screams and curses emanated from within. “Son of a bitch! If not for that dogshit edict, I’d have crushed you like an ant a long time ago!
“Let me tell you. This Edict can at most keep me sealed for three days! Once three days are up, you’re dead!”
His curses and insults were coarse, frantic, and vulgar.
Su Yi laughed them off, raised his hand, and held the sealed sword aloft.
The Divine Hunt Edict’s power went from the prison to a sheath.
Great Sorrow’s most striking feature was its hilt, which seeped with red sword qi reminiscent of blood. If it hadn’t been sealed, it might well have dripped onto the ground.
The countless cracks covering its blade seeped “blood” too. It was a striking sight; it seemed as if the sword contained an overflowing ocean of blood.
Even though it was sealed, when Su Yi held the sword, boundless, terrifying, murderous intent washed over his heart, like a tidal wave or avalanche, and a vision appeared in his sea of consciousness.
In it, all Daos collapsed, the sky fell, and the earth caved in. Terrifying, grand figures waged war, and a ferocious sword flew about the battlefield, bringing tyrannical sword force with it. Wherever it pointed, blood fell like rain.
Su Yi’s heart was as clear and smooth as a mirror, but this sudden development piqued the murderous intent lying in the deepest recesses of his soul. He suddenly felt a powerful thirst for blood.
But a moment later, his heart lit up as the Light of the Heart washed over it.
All of his viciousness and ferocity receded, and his murderous intent went up in a puff of smoke.
His heart was calm and clear once more. All strangeness faded away.
When Su Yi next looked down at the sword, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
The sword was sealed by the Divine Hunt Edict, but murderous intent still seeped through, assailing his heart like a tidal wave. It had almost driven him to madness!
He was lucky that he’d long since condensed a Heart Soul and lit the Light of the Heart. That was what let him stop the sword’s strange power before it got any worse.
Otherwise, its power would have permeated and influenced his heart. The consequences would have been unimaginable!
Su Yi couldn’t even begin to imagine how terrifying this sword would be without the Divine Hunt Edict keeping it in check.
“Ee? How bizarre. Beneath the Heavenly Sovereign-level, anyone who touches the sword will lose their awareness and rationality. You’re just some Unfettered Realm kid. How did you manage to stay in control?” The boy in green shouted from within the sword, “Don’t tell me you aren’t an Unfettered Realm cultivator after all, and that you’re actually some black-hearted Heavenly Sovereign in disguise, playing the pig to eat a tiger?”
This time, Su Yi finally responded. “Did you do that?”
The little boy burst into laughter. “You’re not so stupid after all! Were this the complete Divine Hunt Edict, there’d be nothing I could do, but the Edict you’re controlling has all but run out of power. How could it possibly keep me trapped?”
Su Yi took a sip of wine and sank into thought.
The Divine Hunt Edict that the Sword of the Nine Hells was suppressing came from that stone stele. After countless years, its power really had all but been frittered away.
Now that he was actively using it to suppress Great Sorrow, its power was even more depleted.
All that remained of it was an imprint suppressed beneath the Sword of the Nine Hells.
When the last of its power dissipated, the boy in green and Great Sorrow would break free. No one would be able to suppress them then!
“Ultimately, an Unfettered Realm cultivator like you is in no way worthy of laying a finger on this sword!” The boy laughed coldly, his voice full of disdain. “Never mind you, even Heavenly Sovereigns can forget about acquiring this sword without my permission!”
He chuckled. “Come on, kneel for me! Kowtow eight hundred times, and if I’m in a good mood, I’ll generously leave you a complete corpse!”
Su Yi flipped his palm, and a rusted sword sheath floated into the air. Perhaps this will work!
“Hahahaha! What the fuck is that?” The boy couldn’t hold back laughter. “Don’t tell me you want to use that sheath to suppress me?!? You look normal enough, so why are you so stupid? Quit making a fool of yourself, or I’ll really die of laughter! Could you bear the responsibility for that?”
But then, laughter emanated from within the rusted sheath. “Tch, look at him! The kid sure seems to be having fun.”
The boy in green exclaimed, “Oh? That rusted sheath actually has a treasure spirit? Come on then, broaden my horizons! Show me the majesty of the spirit of a broken piece of trash! See if you can scare me to death!”
“Not bad at all! The kid’s got spirit. Sure, he might be a suicidal fool in need of a beating, but I’m sure he’ll turn over a new leaf once he’s tasted a bit of pain,” said the heart devil in the rusted sheath. “Quick, send him to me. I’ll teach him sense.”
The boy laughed. “That dogshit sheath might look like trash, but its ‘treasure’ spirit sure knows how to boast! Quick, quick, put me into the sheath! If I can’t stab him to death, I’ll adopt your surname!”
Su Yi agreed and placed the sealed sword in front of the sheath.
A strange energy fluctuation surged out of the sheath, enveloping the sword completely.
Shockingly, the sword case formed of the Divine Hunt Edict vanished instantly.
“Hahaha! I’m afraid that your sheath is an idiot. It actually helped me break free of my fetters! If anything, I ought to thank… ah?”
The child had only just burst into laughter when it froze, flabbergasted. “Wait, what kind of power is this? How can it seal Great Sorrow’s source? This is bad! That damned sheath was a trap!”
The sword struggled like mad. The image of the child in green rose to its surface. He was struggling frantically, too.
“Get over here!” The heart devil laughed.
Boom!
The sword shook, then vanished into the sheath.
In the end, all that remained of the sword was the green-robed child’s infuriated shouts still echoing through the air.
“How dare you trick me! Just you fucking wait—!”
Su Yi smiled and watched, feeling utterly relaxed.
With the rusted sheath there to keep it in check, Great Sorrow couldn’t escape even if it grew wings.
The heart devil’s voice rang out.
“The Divine Hunt Edict is extraordinary. It originates from the Nine River-Stabilizing Steles in the far reaches of the River of Destiny. Each is imbued with one of the most ancient Laws of Destiny, carved onto the stele in the form of an Edict. Each has its mysteries, and each has its secrets.
“Should the opportunity arise, you could try to collect them. It would be endlessly beneficial for your cultivation in the Eternal Dao.”
With that, all of the commotion died down. The rusted sheath returned to stillness.
Su Yi put it away, then appeared on the Mountain of Bitter Rains and released Pu Xuan with a swing of his sleeves.
When he concisely explained what had happened, Pu Xuan was unwittingly stunned.
He also finally confirmed that Xiao Zhixuan was indeed one of the nine Heavenly Sovereigns.
Yet even someone as lofty as that had lost to Su Yi in this competition for good fortune!!
A long time passed before Pu Xuan recovered from his astonishment and sighed. “I suddenly lament that I’ve read so few books. I cannot find the words to express my awe and respect, Fellow Daoist!”
“…” Su Yi didn’t know what to say. Isn’t that just another form of flattery?
