Chapter 3150 - Cutting Down Heavenly Sovereigns on Fangchun Mountain

The changes beneath the dome of heaven drew the black-robed Threelives Buddha, Chu Shanke, and the others' attention, too. Their hearts sank. What’s going on?

None of them knew, but the uncertainty only increased their unease.

“Don’t lose your cool. Victory and defeat are not yet determined, but there’s no way we can turn this around if we can’t stay calm!” the black-robed Threelives Buddha said gravely.

Lu Hongpao had suppressed him from the moment she arrived, and he was already injured, but he wasn’t panicked or flustered. On the contrary, he seemed calm and steady even now.

“Hah!” Lu Hongpao chuckled. “Unless you flee, one of us will die here today!”

In truth, she, Ku Xuan, True Progenitor Shi Yin, and Hua Qingyi were stunned, too. None of them had anticipated that something so strange would happen overhead.

But it was also obvious that Su Yi was behind this strange development. That meant that this was undoubtedly to their advantage!

Their job was to keep their opponents firmly trapped, ensuring they found no opportunity to turn things around.

...

The inside of the bodhi leaf contained Fangchun Mountain’s ancestral grounds.

The uproar in the outside world didn’t reach this place, but the white-robed Threelives Buddha, Heavenly Sovereign E, and the others weren’t anywhere near as calm as they looked.

This hidden realm was far firmer and more mystical than they’d anticipated. There was no breaking it. That was true despite the fact that all of them were fighting together and using taboo secret treasures.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t destroy this place. They couldn’t even tear open an escape route!

By this point, they were naturally aware that this hidden realm was much like the grottoes associated with their Eternal Thrones.

Here, Su Yi was an absolute ruler. He had the home turf advantage!

“Fellow Daoist Su, this is rather dishonest of you. We came here to watch a ceremony, yet now, you’ve trapped us in a hidden realm. Is that any way to treat your guests?” the white-robed Threelives Buddha said with a sigh.

He finally understood Su Yi’s plan. He wasn’t simply planning to fight to the death. Rather, he wanted to use this grand battle as an opportunity to take down all of his enemies at once!

Su Yi had bitterly endured up until this point, all for the sake of this moment.

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t trap your other body, too,” said Su Yi, a bit rueful. No amount of planning could account for everything. The black-robed Threelives Buddha’s sudden arrival had introduced a few new variables.

Still, this was enough.

“We’re trapped in here, but isn’t that true for you, too?” Heavenly Sovereign E said coldly. “If someone in the outside world seizes the opportunity to grab that leaf, they’ll be able to take the whole hidden realm effortlessly! How can you possibly escape then?”

Su Yi said calmly, “Who’d dare to try such a thing? Someone from the Far Shore?”

Heavenly Sovereign E sneered. “Why not? Surely you don’t think the Secluded Ones’ rules are enough to stop all experts of the Far Shore?”

The other Heavenly Sovereigns laughed coldly, too.

There’d never been any shortage of people unafraid to die. That was true on the River of Destiny, and it was true on the Far Shore, too!

If forces of the Far Shore were determined to seize this opportunity to eradicate Su Yi, there was no way they’d just stand back and watch as he turned the tide in his favor.

Naturally, they wouldn’t concern themselves with the Secluded Ones’ rules, either.

The white-robed Threelives Buddha laughed. “The Heavenly Sovereigns of the Primordial Divine Court are still out there, and so is my other body, and some cards you don’t yet know about, too!”

He paused, then added, “Here in this hidden realm, we might not be able to touch you, but all we need to do is defend ourselves until things are settled in the outside world. That will be the end of you!”

Su Yi responded mid-combat. “You’re jumping to conclusions.”

He glanced up at the dome of heaven, then said calmly, “Do you really think... this is the limit of my abilities?"

The Heavenly Sovereigns’ gazes focused. All of them were instantly on guard.

It was then that Su Yi counterattacked for real.

With a wave of his sleeves, countless Laws interwove beneath the dome of heaven, like a formless natural barrier.

The Heavenly Sovereigns looked stricken as they realized that they could no longer sense the Laws of the outside world.

Heavenly Sovereigns were terrifying precisely because their Eternal Thrones were fused with the surrounding Laws, letting them carry out Heaven’s Will as if they were its incarnation.

But now, their connection to Heaven’s Will had been severed. They could no longer control its power!

Naturally, the effect on their combat strength went without saying.

“Everyone, it’s time to fight to the death. Quickly! Let’s end this as quickly as possible!”

“Die!”

The Heavenly Sovereigns attacked without hesitation, each drawing their killer weapons and attacking as if frenzied.

All manner of taboo treasures and supreme divine abilities surged forth at once. Their combined power was enough to make any Heavenly Sovereign give in to despair.

It was obvious that although they’d all drawn taboo treasures earlier, they’d still been holding cards in reserve.

But now, none of them could be bothered to hide. They were truly giving it their all!

“It’s too late. You have hidden cards, but... surely you realize that I have them, too?” Su Yi shook his head slightly.

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, a low, boundless hum rang out, and a sword appeared out of nowhere.

The sword was shrouded in surging, unfathomable chaos energy, so none could discern its true appearance. It had a mysterious, indescribable quality to it.

When it appeared, all of Fangchun Mountain shook. Unstoppably tyrannical sword force blanketed heaven and earth.

Within moments, the white-robed Threelives Buddha’s punishment ruler, Heavenly Sovereign Changhen’s Fiveflame Dao Cauldron, Heavenly Sovereign E’s Blood Restriction Jewel Lamp, and the other taboo treasures were under terrifying suppression. All of them trembled violently, their wails shaking the heavens!

That unsurpassed sword force was just too terrifying. It seemed capable of suppressing everything in its path. All other taboo treasures seemed to dim by comparison.

Even their hidden cards were suppressed, no matter how mystical or powerful!

It was as if the sword had entered the world, and all other treasures were prostrating before it. The sight was shocking to behold.

This was naturally the Sword of the Nine Hells.

Now that he’d stepped into the Heavenly Fate Realm and absorbed destiny source power in the Abyss of Endless Tribulations, Su Yi could finally wield the Sword of the Nine Hells for real!

Its power was naturally far more terrifying than before.

Su Yi hadn’t used it earlier in the battle for fear that doing so would scare off his opponents. If that happened, he could forget about gathering them all up in the same net.

It was different now. Here in Fangchun Mountain’s ancestral grounds, he had no further need to hold back.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook beneath his boundless sword force.

“It’s that sword!”

“That’s the Big Boss’s most taboo, mysterious weapon. Even on the Far Shore of Destiny, no one knows its true origins!”

“How could it be this terrifying?”

“Despicable! He’s broken the Secluded Ones’ rules. That treasure is far beyond the bounds of Eternity!”

The Threelives Buddha and the others’ expressions shifted once more. All of them were shocked and furious, and all of them realized the severity of the problem.

“Relax. If I break the rules, the Mountain of the Secluded Ones will punish me accordingly. There’s no need for you old dogs to bark at me,” said Su Yi. He stretched out his hand, and the Sword of the Nine Hells flew into his grip.

Then, he took a step through the air and said calmly, “I’ll have to ask you for your flesh, blood, and lives now. I need them to consecrate the Heart-Tempering Sword House’s new ancestral grounds!”

His tall, upright figure was covered in wounds, and his blue robes were stained red with blood. His long hair was loose and disheveled. All in all, he looked wretched.

Yet he had the bearing of the supreme ruler of creation, proud and contemptuous as he surveyed his dominion.

Boom!

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, Su Yi charged at his nearest opponent, Heavenly Sovereign Ling.

His Heart Soul stood proud within the landscape of his heart, shining like the midday sun. Its glowing secret power of the heart strengthened Su Yi’s slash.

Heavenly Sovereign Ling’s pupils constricted as he blocked with all his might.

When Su Yi’s strike landed, his heart, soul, cultivation base, and body all felt the impact. Just one slash was enough to kill him on the spot.

His body split in two, and his soul burst apart as he exploded into a bundle of bloody mist. His cultivation base, Eternal Throne, soul power, and life force transformed into a rain of light, then scattered.

Chills coursed down the others’ spines.

That strike had been far too tyrannical. He’d just cut down a Heavenly Sovereign, a man who’d stood at the pinnacle of the River of Destiny for countless years, as effortlessly as if he’d been made of rotten wood!

Their eyes bulged at the sight of that piping hot blood splattering the air.

Throughout the ages, they’d stood at the pinnacle of this world, lofty and superior. All other cultivators were like ants beneath their feet; none presented any threat whatsoever. None could even think of shaking their positions.

Who could have imagined that one day, a Heavenly Monarch like Su Yi would grow strong enough to overwhelm them?

Worst of all, they could no longer draw on the Laws of their surroundings, nor could they flee. Even their taboo treasures had been completely suppressed!

Su Yi instantly felt a wave of satisfaction, as if he’d removed a mental knot that had plagued him for far too long. He’d finally been vindicated.

He’d killed a Heavenly Sovereign!

That was something he’d longed to do since stepping onto the River of Destiny. He wanted to crush those lofty, superior Heavenly Sovereigns beneath his feet, and he wanted to see them die by his sword!

Every one of them he killed meant the end of a long-standing grudge. It was only natural that he’d feel relief and satisfaction.

Su Yi didn’t hold back. He had no interest in playing cat and mouse. He just wanted to kill his enemies and end their enmity; the sooner, the better!

Boom!

Su Yi attacked once more, cleaving through his enemies’ encirclement and sending their taboo treasures flying with a swing of his sword.

A moment later, he appeared out of nowhere in front of Heavenly Sovereign Wuxu.

Heavenly Sovereign Wuxu looked stricken. His hair stood on end, and he immediately retreated, going so far as to sacrifice his own cultivation base to unleash a forbidden technique.

He instantly fled into the distance, then attacked in a frenzy, desperate to cleave through the curtain of heaven and escape into the outside world.

But it was to no avail. This was Fangchun Mountain. Here, Su Yi reigned supreme!

Su Yi swung his sword, his slash traversing seemingly endless distance. Heavenly Sovereign Wuxu let out a desperate cry as his body exploded into pieces, like a splash of crimson ink splattering the curtain of heaven.

A second Heavenly Sovereign had died in battle, but the massacre had only just begun!
