Novel Full Chapter 829: Defeating Five Emperors
Chapter 829: Defeating Five Emperors
The Profound Dao was like the heavens, while Emperors were like gods.
Emperors were so strong because the power, secret arts, and treasures they controlled completely transcended those of other cultivators. With a snap of their fingers, they could incinerate mountains, boil seas, and shatter the skies.
That was why they were seen as godlike existences.
Were any other Spirit Dao cultivator to have controlled the Heavenly Evil-Smiting Formation, they most likely couldn’t have displayed the formation’s true power. They certainly couldn’t have used it to defeat Emperors.
They’d be like children waving about a matchless divine sword randomly, with no skill to speak of.
But that wasn’t the case for Su Yi at all.
In his past life, he’d reigned supreme over the Wilds, dominating the heavens. His combat experience was incomparably abundant, and his understanding of Imperial Realm power was far beyond others.
Furthermore, he’d once reforged this very formation, the Heavenly Evil-Smiting Formation. He understood its secrets and abilities like the back of his hand. Naturally, it could unleash utterly terrifying power under his control.
As Su Yi strode forth, sword in hand, the power of the formation filling the skies surged, transforming into forceful, unstoppable sword qi and sweeping outward.
Boom!
Fei Changting was leading the charge, so he was the first to suffer the impact. It sent him flying, and his six Heavenly Demon Bone Sabers almost flew from his grip.
His face paled, his expression full of rage and alarm.
“Die!” A three-meter spear thrust through the air, like a dragon of jade-colored flame burning heaven and earth.
Su Yi’s wrists rotated, and the sword turned, then slammed into the spear. Beneath the terrifying power of the formation, the spear shook so hard that the man in beast skins coughed up blood and retreated explosively.
Su Yi didn’t even look at him. The blood-colored formation sword suddenly howled, releasing a ring of sword qi that swept forth like a tidal wave.
As the sword qi ripples passed, Qu Mingwei and the others were forced back. The pain left all of them on the verge of coughing up blood.
Su Yi’s control of the formation was just too strong, and it seemed impossible to resist. They were Emperors, but they couldn’t even get near him, let alone hurt him.
“Everyone, delay him! The more time passes, the greater our advantage!” Fei Changting bellowed, his face ashen.
There was no doubt about it. This Imperial Denglong expert had realized that they couldn’t break through the power Su Yi was controlling in a direct confrontation.
“Got it!” The others all agreed.
From that moment onward, they flashed about the battlefield, shuttling through the air. Even when they attacked, they did so from afar. They didn’t clash with Su Yi directly at all.
They were trying to draw things out in an obvious attempt to exhaust Su Yi’s energy, leaving him unable to borrow the formation’s power.
If they succeeded, victory was theirs!
“Useless! What makes formations so wondrous? They encompass the eight extremes and envelope the ten directions. There is nowhere their power cannot reach, nothing they cannot suppress, and no one they cannot kill!” Su Yi said leisurely.
As his light, airy voice echoed through the air, he thrust his blood-red formation sword.
Boom!
A dense rain of sword qi swept toward Qu Mingwei on all sides.
“Shit!” Qu Mingwei’s expression changed dramatically. More than ever before, he felt there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. He felt terrified out of his wits, and he used his full strength without hesitation, unleashing his last resort.
“Break!” Qu Mingwei bellowed, and numerous illusory visions of hell floated up around him, blotting out the sky. Countless terrifying entities wandered amidst these visions, emitting shocking, baleful energy.
The Infernal Spirits Technique!
This was the core legacy of the Qu Family. When used, it was as if the eighteen layers of hell descended upon the world. When a foe was trapped within them, countless ghosts would possess their body, gnawing away at their body and soul.
But beneath the thousands of streaks of sword qi manifested of the?formation, this ancient secret legacy popped like a soap bubble. The sword qi instantly bore holes through it, and it shattered with a bang.
Splurt!?
Qu Mingwei had no time to dodge. The sword qi slammed into him, leaving his body in tatters and dripping with blood. Even his soul was severely injured, and he almost died then and there.
Practically simultaneously, Su Yi appeared beside him. He stretched out his hand and flung the already half-dead Qu Mingwei over to Heavenly Tripod Mountain, where the power of the formation ruthlessly trapped him on the ground. He couldn’t even move his fingers.
This series of movements might have seemed slow, but in truth, they took but a single breath, and they were over in the blink of an eye.
The others would never have guessed that Qu Mingwei would lose so quickly; by the time they realized they needed to save him, it was too late.
“Dammit!”
“How could this be happening…” The Emperors were stunned and alarmed. They could no longer keep their cool.
From the moment they first laid eyes on Su Yi, they completely disregarded him. They thought him no more than an ant.
It was only to prevent their operation from being discovered that they hadn’t killed him a long time ago.
Who’d have thought that someone they’d overlooked so completely and utterly would break through their ranks before Heavenly Tripod Mountain?
Before they could return to their senses, Su Yi pointed his sword at the distant Cui Weizhong, then thrust.
Boom!
Throughout heaven and earth, the formation manifested streaks of sword qi, which surged toward Cui Weizhong’s location from all sides.
Cui Weizhong let out a strange shout, and his entire body seemed to burst into flame as he swung his blade. It burst with a sea of flame that expanded outward.
But this was ultimately in vain.
In the blink of an eye, the third elder of the Cui Family, a mid-stage Profound Illumination Emperor, was covered in wounds. Shortly after, Su Yi grabbed him and flung him over to Heavenly Tripod Mountain, where he was summarily trapped.
This scene doused Fei Changting and his companions’ fury as surely as a bucket of ice water. They were now fully aware of their predicament.
“Run!” Fei Changting’s expression was hideously contorted as he turned to flee.
There was no way to fight this directly. With the mountain’s formation under his control, Su Yi was like the sovereign of this entire stretch of heaven and earth; they couldn’t shake him.
It didn’t matter how indignant or unwilling they were. It was useless.
If they waited any longer to flee, they might well suffer the same fate as Qu Mingwei and Cui Weizhong!
Whoosh! Whoosh! ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
Practically simultaneously, the man in beast skins and the woman in black turned and fled. Both activated secret escape arts little?different from teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, they and Fei Changting disappeared from view.
However, Su Yi laughed and muttered, “I wanted to play with you, but you really can’t take a beating. How awfully dull.”
The third layer of the Bureau of Adjudication’s dungeons was completely covered by the Heavenly Evil-Smiting Formation. Even Profound Serenity Emperors could forget about escaping it!
Why was it that throughout the ages, none of those imprisoned here had ever escaped?
This was why.
Su Yi stood in the air, his hands rapidly forming seals.
Whoosh~~Whoosh~~
Heavenly Tripod Mountain shook, and the countless blood-colored chains scraped audibly against each other.
One hundred miles away, the ninety-nine Armillary Sash Demon-Suppressing Pillars burst with divine light, and countless intricate formation markings appeared on their surfaces.
The dozen or so surviving convicts shrieked, “Dammit! Someone from the Cui Family must have come!”
“Dammit!”
“Does that mean that the Fellow Daoists who planned to save us were discovered?”
There was no doubt about it: the prisoners understood how terrifying the Heavens Execute the Wicked was better than anyone. When they sensed its movements, all of them were frantic and ill at ease.
The entire third layer of the dungeons shook. Ripples of the formation’s power spread outward and expanded.
The “heavens” in the name “Heavenly Evil-Smiting Formation” referred to the world of the third layer of the dungeons; in other words, the formation encompassed the entire hidden realm.
However, Fei Changting and his companions obviously didn’t understand that. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to flee.
“Hm?”
Fei Changtain and his two companions stopped in their tracks, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Endless, ripple-like fluctuations of the formation’s power surged toward them from all sides, forming a flood-like current of energy.
The power of the formation assailed them from above and below, too!
“Charge!” Fei Changting bellowed. He activated his cultivation base and charged at the forefront.
The man in beast skins and the woman in black had both realized their predicament, and they dared not slack off. Both of them charged toward Su Yi like mad.
Rumble~ Boom~!
They broke through layer after layer of the formation’s power, stirring up dazzling divine radiance.
But gradually, Fei Changting and his companions couldn’t help but give into despair.
The power of the formation seemed inexhaustible. It surged forth in waves; they felt as if they were adrift in a vast ocean, with massive waves blocking off every possible escape route.
“Die! Die! Die!”
None of them were willing to just surrender and come quietly. They fought ferociously, eyes bloodshot, using every treasure and secret art at their disposal.
But gradually, they found themselves repressed, and their injuries piled up…
In the end, the formation’s power suppressed them so thoroughly that they couldn’t even move a muscle.
“I’ve done as I pleased for thirteen thousand years. Who’d have thought a Spiritual Incarnation kid like you would trap me today?” Fei Changting roared in grief and fury.
His companions slumped in despair too, their faces ashen.
Whoosh!
A ripple coursed through the sky, and Su Yi appeared out of nowhere. He swept his gaze across the three of them, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you really think you lost unfairly?”
Fei Changting’s eyes were bloodshot as he rasped, “Without the formation’s power, I could squish an ant like you effortlessly!”
“Nonsense.” Su Yi sneered. “Were I an Emperor, I could kill you lot?with a flick of my fingers. The winner is a king, and you, the losers, are bandits.”
With that, he swooshed his sleeves and disappeared, bringing the three trapped Emperors with him.
Before long, they reappeared directly before Heavenly Tripod Mountain. Su Yi tossed Fei Changting and his companions onto the ground.
When the already imprisoned Qi Mingwei and Cui Weizhong saw this, they were stunned, and they fully gave in to despair.
Who could have imagined this? The five of them were Emperors, yet today, they’d lost to a Spiritual Incarnation Realm youth!
If word got out, they’d become laughingstocks!
“Relax! I don’t want word of what happened here to spread either, so at least for now, I won’t kill you.” As he spoke, Su Yi took out a wicker chair and sprawled out in it. He then took out a jug of wine and started drinking.
When the newly-imprisoned Fei Changting and company saw this, they were bewildered and uncertain. None of them knew what Su Yi was up to.
Time slipped by.
Suddenly, they heard someone shooting over from distant skies.
The sound had only just rung out when a tall figure with a terrifying aura descended, landing before Heavenly Tripod Mountain.
He wore a high-brimmed hat, old-fashioned robes, and a willowy beard. His imposing aura was subdued and imposing, and when he looked around, his eyes flashed with imposing light.
This was none other than Family Head Cui Chang’an!
When Fei Changting and the others saw this, it was as if they’d been struck by lightning. Any lingering hope was instantly extinguished.
All of them knew that this time, they really wouldn’t escape calamity!
