Chapter 1096 - A Sword Divides a Sea of Stars
Behind Qin Feng, Mengtian Jun and Gu Chu were both unwittingly stunned. Isn’t Su Xuanjun’s reincarnation… a bit too proud and domineering?
They’d expected that no matter how strong Su Xuanjun’s reincarnation was, he’d rein it in a little after learning their origins.
After all, even the Wilds’ Imperial Apex Realm old-timers wouldn’t dare to offend them lightly.
Who’d have guessed that things wouldn’t go at all like they’d thought?
Right from the start, he displayed an incomparably forceful, tyrannical attitude, as if he didn’t take them the least bit seriously!
After a moment’s silence, Qin Feng laughed. “Fellow Daoist Su, is your murderous intent so strong because of all the years we’ve spent living in the Grotto of Abstruse Force?”
It sounded like mockery, and indeed, it was deliberate provocation!
Ye Luo and the others were watching from afar. When they saw this, their expressions frosted over. That bastard is actually using the Grotto of Abstruse Force to provoke Master? He really deserves to die!
Qin Feng laughed, “Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. Miss Qing Tang is taking care of the Grotto of Abstruse Force, and it hasn’t changed much at all over the years. I have to say that it really is a first-rate blessed ground, and it’s quite pleasant to live in. It’s excellent for cultivating in, too.”
Su Yi said plainly, “This attempt at provocation is far too juvenile, and you’re even shameless enough to laugh? Do you even know that your founder’s clone killed itself on the banks of the Netherworld’s Reincarnation Pool?”
This declaration went off like an earth-shattering explosion.
Qin Feng was dumbstruck.
Meng Tianjun and Gu Che’s expressions changed dramatically.
That their founder’s clone had proceeded to the Netherworld was one of their most closely guarded secrets. Them aside, practically no one knew about it.
Yet now, Su Yi hadn’t just revealed that their founder’s clone had gone to the Netherworld. No, he’d even declared that the clone had killed itself!
How could they not be flabbergasted?
Ye Luo and the others’ hearts shook. They were naturally well aware that their master wasn’t the type to talk nonsense. If he said their leader’s clone had killed itself, that meant it had indeed killed itself!
“Impudent! Our founder’s cultivation is all-encompassing and all-powerful. Even his clone could destroy any opponent in the Dark and Gold Star Realm with ease. How could he possibly have killed himself? This is a blatant insult to our sect’s founder!” Meng Tianjun bellowed, his expression icy.
“It really is ridiculous. How are you any different from an ant making idle comments about the death of a divine dragon?” Gu Che said coldly.
Qin Feng waved. “No need to say anything else. We cannot tolerate insults to our founder, and since this Su person wants to fight to the death, I’ll just send him on his way!”
Every word boomed like thunder, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
Clang!
A glittering silver spear appeared in Qin Feng’s grip, flowing with starlight.
His entire presence changed. The power of the Laws rose around him, and firelight surged into the firmament, shaking the entire landscape.
“This guy’s only in the mid-stage Profound Serenity Realm, but his aura and momentum are stronger than even Elder Yin of the Studio of the Heart. He’s almost comparable to that Three-Eyed Golden Toad!” Ye Luo was quite surprised.
Wang Que and Bai Yi looked stunned too. They could sense Qin Feng’s heaven-defying qualities.
Meng Tianjun and Gu Che keenly detected the changes in their expressions, they couldn’t help but look smug.
Qin Feng was a Holy Son of the Church of the River of Stars, and the emissary of the Solar Palace. His cultivation base was heaven-defying enough to make even the old-timers of the starry skies pale by comparison. How could he possibly be ordinary?
Boom!
Qin Feng didn’t hesitate. He leaped through the air and attacked directly, with the momentum of an unstoppable arc of divine light. He cleaved through the air, leaving a startling, heart-stirring rift in his wake.
And his spear shone in his hands. When he thrust it, it was like an exploding star bursting with destructive power.
Too strong!
That unstoppable divine majesty left Ye Luo and the others visibly stunned once more.
The higher-ups of the Wang Family felt suffocated, and their hearts quivered with fright.
But in the face of this attack, Su Yi merely arched his brow. He could sense Qin Feng’s strength; it was far beyond that of the Studio of the Heart experts he’d killed.
There was no doubt about it. Qin Feng’s status in the Church of the River of Stars couldn’t be low. His foundations and aptitude were both extraordinary. Otherwise, he couldn’t have displayed such shocking combat strength in the mid-stage Profound Serenity Realm.
But despite thinking all this, Su Yi’s movements weren’t the least bit slow. He attacked directly and clashed with him head-on.
Clang!!!
A heaven-shaking impact rang out.
Moonlit Shadow unleashed a waterfall of clear light, which clashed with Qin Feng’s spear. A wave of endlessly terrifying destructive power erupted from the point of impact.
Boom!
It was as if that entire stretch of heaven and earth erupted. The skies collapsed, and Qin Feng swayed on his feet and took several steps back. Alarm appeared on his handsome face, as if he couldn’t believe it.
And Su Yi? He hadn’t budged, but his qi nonetheless churned within him.
This guy is actually somewhat interesting. The depths of Su Yi’s gaze lit up as his will to fight stirred.
“Indeed, this guy has mastered a power capable of contending with supreme Celestial Laws, and his strength… far transcends the Profound Illumination Realm….” Qin Feng murmured to himself, his expression increasingly murderous.
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he raised his spear and attacked explosively, without the slightest hesitation. He was incomparably domineering.
Clang!
The clear hum of a sword penetrated the clouds.
Su Yi held back no longer. He swung his sword and attacked.
It was like a battle between immortals or gods. Sometimes, their battle raged through the nine heavens. Sometimes, they fought between the mountains and rivers. Either way, they fought with unprecedented intensity.
Qin Feng waved his spear. His power and abilities were all heaven-defying, and every strike left heaven and earth trembling. Even the air was thrown into disarray.
When he attacked, it was as if countless stars swept forth, rumbling and booming as they burst apart. The sheer momentum of his attack left countless onlookers’ hearts quivering with fright.
Back in the Ten Directions Yao Mountains, Ye Luo saw how his master killed the late-stage Profound Serenity Realm Elder Yin of the Studio of the Heart.
But Elder Yin was clearly inferior to Qin Feng!
And Su Yi? He was as transcendent as an immortal. His upright figure emanated radiant Dao Light, and he swung his sword without the slightest flourish. Despite this, he neutralized each and every one of Qin Feng’s attacks!
“The reincarnation of the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force really is heaven-defying…” Meng Tianjun looked alarmed and bewildered, and his expression shifted.
Su Yi was only in the late-stage Profound Illumination Realm, yet he wasn’t at all afraid of the Laws of Cosmic Silence, and he could fight evenly against their mid-stage Profound Serenity Realm Holy Son, Qin Feng. This was simply unbelievable!
This would have been a rare sight even in the stars beyond!
“No wonder Pi Mo lost so badly. No wonder the Studio of the Heart lost several of its experts. The Swordmaster of Abstruse has mastered the secrets of reincarnation. No one else in the Wilds is his equal,” sighed Gu Che. “But… if this is all he’s got, there’s no way he’ll be a match for the Holy Son!”
He’d only just said this when the situation changed abruptly.
With a single slash, Su Yi forced Qin Feng over a hundred feet back. His handsome face alternated white and green.
Gu Che was flabbergasted, and he felt as if someone had slapped him soundly across the face. He’d only just said that Qin Feng had the upper hand!
“Reveal the strongest power at your disposal. Otherwise, I’ll grant you death here and now,” Su Yi said coolly.
He’d already gotten a feel for Qin Feng’s abilities. His strength in the Profound Serenity Realm really was heaven-defying. Combined with the Laws of Cosmic Silence, he could have contended with the Wilds’ early-stage Profound Unity Emperors!
But the Laws of Cosmic Silence weren’t at all threatening to Su Yi, and without them, Qin Feng was at best on par with a first-rate Profound Serenity Emperor.
“Hmph!” Qin Feng burst with murderous intent, his momentum increasingly intense as he used an unfathomable secret art. His entire body was suddenly surrounded by stars, and even a casual strike now contained enough power to blanket the skies and blot out the sun.
“The Celestial Arc Divine Wheel Technique!” Meng Tianjun and Gu Che were both stunned.
This was one of the most supreme secret arts of the Church of the River of Stars. It required using a highly particular method to stimulate the blood and qi, awakening the body’s latent potential. That way, the user could unleash strength far beyond their ordinary limits!
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled violently as Qin Feng’s power ran rampant.
The battle raged with renewed intensity. It was obvious to everyone that Qin Feng was even stronger than before.
But just moments later——
Bang!
A slash sent Qin Feng flying over a hundred feet once more. The stars circulating around him shattered beneath its sword qi.
When he finally stabilized himself, he couldn’t help but cough up blood.
Everyone who saw this was dumbstruck and tongue-tied.
“Got anything else up your sleeve?” said Su Yi, his calm voice reverberating throughout heaven and earth. It sounded as if he’d yet to get his fill.
Here, Ye Luo and the others finally realized something. Master obviously sees Qin Feng as a living target!
Even as he spoke, Su Yi attacked Qin Feng once more.
Resplendent sword qi, like the full moon shining against blue skies, illuminated the ten directions with its clear light.
It was full of terrifying murderous power, and when he saw it, Qin Feng finally lost his composure.
“Activate!” His robes billowed around him as he roared and took out the treasure he’d been keeping in reserve.
It was an alms bowl flowing with resplendent starlight. It looked as if it contained an entire boundless galaxy, and countless stars flickered inside it.
As soon as it appeared, the entire landscape wailed, and the skies collapsed as if unable to bear the bowl’s power. Countless rifts formed in the air.
And Su Yi’s next streak of sword qi shattered into nothingness.
His gaze focused, while Ye Luo and the Wang Family higher-ups’ expressions shifted. What kind of treasure is that!?
“The Star-Swallowing Alms Bowl!” Meng Tianjun and Gu Chu were shaken, and their eyes blazed with passion, as well as nigh imperceptible envy.
This was a Xiantian Divine Treasure of the Church of the River of Stars, and their founder had refined it personally. It contained a portion of the source energy of the Laws of Cosmic Silence, and its power was extraordinarily terrifying.
When he used this treasure, it was as if he wielded the true river of stars like a whip. When he swung it, it could crush an entire region!
“Su Xuanjun, do you really think I’m here to throw my life away!?” Qin Feng bellowed, looking frenzied as he used the Star-Swallowing Alms Bowl to bear down on Su Yi.
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled, and the power of the countless formations covering the Allmist Spirit Mountains swayed violently. Throughout the surrounding landscape, the mountains and rivers showed signs of an imminent collapse.
However, here, Su Yi lost interest. He shook his head.
In a clash of the Grand Dao, when one side needed to draw upon their trump cards and supreme treasures to turn the tides, it meant that the time had come to determine life and death.
Su Yi struck to kill without any further hesitation.
Clang!
The boundless humming of a sword rang out.
The Tiny Heart of the Cosmos appeared and swept through the air.
The river of starlight sweeping through the sky abruptly split in two. When the sword qi struck, the Star-Swallowing Alms Bowl was sent flying back, its wails shaking the heavens.
From afar, it looked as if his sword had divided a galaxy!
Off in the distance, Qin Feng’s lips quivered, as if he were about to say something, only for a cut to spread from his forehead and descend down his body.
A moment later, he split down the midline and dissipated into ash with a bang.
Destroyed, body and soul!
“You’re saying you didn’t just come here to throw your life away?” Su Yi said softly. He flicked his fingertips, and the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos transformed back into a three-inch green-skinned gourd and leaped into his sleeves.
His blue robes swayed around him, and he stood alone between heaven and earth.
Everyone present was left dazed and astonished.
