Chapter 1158 - Massacring Them All
A moment later.
Over a hundred Imperial Apex experts attacked at once.
All of them had overcome numerous battles, and they’d killed too many to count. No matter how much they might have looked down on Su Yi, there was no way they’d hold back.
Instead, they drew upon the strongest power at their disposal to subdue Su Yi!
Boom!
Over a hundred Imperial Apex cultivators were attacking at once. How terrifying was that?
The instant they attacked, they sucked away all of the spiritual energy within a thousand square miles. Their strike was sufficient to destroy a lesser world!
All manner of terrifying powers of the Grand Dao condensed into a current, like the river of heaven breaking through a dam and pouring down to earth from the nine heavens. It brought with it endless destructive power, and all of it was aimed at Su Yi.
The skies exploded in all directions, and the entire stretch of sea collapsed. The water evaporated with a bang.
In the face of all-encompassing destruction, the crowd fell silent. Their hearts clenched just watching. Many of them dared not watch any further; they couldn’t bear to see Su Yi killed.
Even Ancestor Peng and the other old-timers felt suffocated.
That destructive power felt suffocating. Pressure assailed them right in the face, and their bodies stiffened, then quivered with irrepressible terror and dread.
It was just too scary!
But in the face of this attack, Su Yi just stood atop his little skiff and shook his head slightly.
In the past, he would perhaps have had to make stringent preparations, but now...
This wasn’t even worth looking at!
He waved his sleeve as if sweeping up dust.
Heaven and earth trembled, and time seemed to stand till.
Sword qi swept across heaven and earth like a surging current!
Boom!
The joint attack of over a hundred Imperial Apex Realm cultivators could have shattered a lesser world, but in the face of Su Yi’s sword qi, it popped like a soap bubble, filling the sky with misty light and dissipating.
Wherever the sword qi passed, the air ripped, forming startling, eye-catching rifts that spread into the distance.
One casual, airy swing of the sleeves, and he’d broken the joint attack of over a hundred Imperial Apex Emperors!
This scene immediately astonished everyone present. Countless eyes widened, and countless minds went blank.
“This...” Ancestor Peng and the others were wide-eyed and tongue-tied, so surprised that their jaws practically fell off.
And the distant onlookers were completely dumbstruck.
Earlier, they’d felt suppressed to the point of despair. This battle would determine the fate of the Wilds’ world of cultivation. When Su Yi lost, everything would be over.
Who’d have thought Su Yi could still fight back against such a terrifying lineup? It was far too unexpected, to the point of overturning their predictions and perception of reality!
“How is this possible!?” The hundred-plus Imperial Apex cultivators were similarly stunned. They dared not believe what they were seeing.
Even the yellow-robed elder, who’d been calm all this time, furrowed his brow slightly. His eyes revealed his shock. He really is the Temple Master’s reincarnation! He’s only in the Profound Serenity Realm, but this heaven-defying combat prowess is simply shocking and unheard of!
“Again!” bellowed the yellow-robed elder.
Over a hundred Imperial Apex cultivators attacked once more, their limitless power slamming explosively toward Su Yi.
All at once, lightning surged, divine flames burst forth, windstorms ran rampant, and all manner of strange phenomena manifested.
Their power took on different forms, but all of their attacks were mighty and interwoven with their Laws. Assuming the same cultivation level, they would have destroyed a cultivator of the Wilds with ease.
When they attacked together, their combined strength was enough to sink the ocean!
But no matter how terrifying their power was, it crumbled before Su Yi and dissipated.
They couldn’t even shake the little skiff beneath Su Yi’s feet!
This unbelievable scene didn’t just leave their enemies dumbstruck. Even the countless onlookers were visibly overcome with disbelief and rooted to the spot.
What’s going on!?
Wordless astonishment enveloped the entire area, even the stars beyond the Wilds.
There was no doubt about it. That tiny handful of terrifying existences spectating from afar were stunned too.
“Ants trying to shake a tree. How ludicrous.” Su Yi’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. He was losing interest. A bunch of Imperial Apex cultivators, that was all. No matter how many of them came at him, they wouldn’t be able to take even a single full-force attack from him.
“Die!” The yellow-robed elder roared.
Boom!
The hundred-plus Imperial Apex cultivators attacked together. Each drew their treasures and activated their secret arts in a veritable flood aimed at Su Yi.
But it was then that——
Whoosh!
Su Yi soared off the boat he was standing on.
His gaze was distant, and he seemed free and relaxed. His aura transformed, becoming incomparably forceful as it linked heaven and earth.
Like the incarnation of a god or immortal!
“Die!” Su Yi said softly. He stretched out his hand and tapped the air.
Splurt!
Beneath countless astonished, disbelieving gazes, the black-robed man who’d just stepped forth and provoked Su Yi exploded in mid-air!
A single finger had destroyed his fleshly body and shattered his soul!
He then used his fingers as a sword, firing a thousand-foot beam of radiant sword qi. It was as dazzling and resplendent as the sun, and it illuminated the entire landscape, cutting seven or eight Imperial Apex cultivators in two at the waist.
Splurt splurt splurt!
Blood poured down like a waterfall, and blood-curdling shrieks rang out.
Mere moments had passed, but he’d transformed heaven and earth into a blood-stained purgatory!
And Su Yi swept through it with unparalleled, unstoppable sharpness. He pierced the skies and cut through the vast enemy forces!
Boom!
The skies swayed, and the waters below shook. The sun and moon lost their light.
Su Yi’s sword intent rumbled and boomed around him, as radiant as the sun. With every gesture, his sword qi churned, and his sword force startled the heavens!
He charged straight into the enemies’ ranks, like an axe through rotten wood, as fearless as if he were the only person there!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
These were Imperial Apex cultivators. Any one of them would have been all but invincible in the Wilds, but Su Yi was mowing them down like grass, killing them where they stood.
Blood splattered the air like a rapid-fire series of fireworks.
Bloodcurdling shrieks and furious roars intermingled with the carnage, creating a scene of unparalleled brutality.
In the end, Su Yi seemed irritated by how long this was taking. He circulated the full extent of his cultivation base, then swung three times in rapid succession.
A moment later, he disappeared into thin air and reappeared outside the battlefield, jug of wine in hand.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield he’d left behind...
Boom!
The first slash descended.
Like the river of heaven pouring down to earth. Dozens of Imperial Apex cultivators were annihilated on the spot.
It tore open a massive spatial rift, and a blood-colored mushroom cloud rose into the air.
The second slash descended.
It cleaved through mountains and seas. Nothing could stand in its way, and wherever it passed, treasures shattered. Any Imperial Apex expert in its path didn’t even have time to flee before they died brutal deaths.
The third slash descended.
The very dome of heaven seemed on the verge of collapse, and the air was in disarray.
Only around ten Imperial Apex cultivators remained, but their courage had already failed them. They scampered away in panic, only for streaks of sword qi to cleave open spatial rifts and swallow them up!
“No——!”
“How is this possible!?”
...Even before their terrified screams of despair finished echoing through the air, the hundred-plus Imperial Apex Emperors of the stars beyond had disappeared without a trace. Every last one of them had been slaughtered!
This really was a massacre.
Barely any time had passed at all since the start of the battle, but Su Yi was like an axe through bamboo. He’d obliterated all of them with ease!
Su Yi now stood outside the battlefield, sipping wine with relish.
His blue robes fluttered around him, unmarred by even the slightest speck of dust!
Heaven and earth were a vision of carnage, while he was like an immortal standing proudly outside the frame of this bloody painting!
Heaven and earth were deathly silent.
All of the onlookers were astonished.
Ancestor Peng and the other old-timers’ eyes widened, and they sank into a daze.
Those who’d hidden themselves amongst the crowd, like Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart, the Heavensdeath Demon Empress, and the old glutton, were dazed too. A long time passed before they could speak.
Even the distant Mountain of Ten Thousand Currents was deathly silent.
The whole world fell silent, as if all that remained were Su Yi. He stood leisurely beneath the skies, like a god descending into mortal dust!
What did it mean to be invincible?
Su Yi had just given them a demonstration of exactly that!
Over a hundred Imperial Apex cultivators could have swept the Wilds unimpeded, yet as soon as Su Yi took action, he cut them down like chickens. In the blink of an eye, all of them had been annihilated!
This couldn’t have been any more shocking!
“The Profound Serenity Realm! How could he be so strong?” someone on the Mountain of Ten Thousand Currents cried out in alarm.
The strength Su Yi had on display was just too much. It far surpassed their perception of the Profound Serenity Realm.
The Profound Serenity Realm was a full realm beneath the peak of Profound Unity, the Imperial Apex Realm.
It was rare for even a heaven-defying Profound Serenity cultivator to be able to contend with a Profound Unity Emperor; less than one in ten thousand could pull it off.
For a Profound Serenity expert to cross realms and slaughter Imperial Apex cultivators with ease as Su Yi had was unique even beyond the Wilds!
Rather, it had never happened before!
Above the firmament, in the stars beyond the Wilds, there hovered a fully ten-thousand-foot-long lightning cloud.
A group of terrifying figures stood there, their auras as momentous as the heavens themselves.
“He’s only in the Profound Serenity Realm, yet he’s achieved such heaven-defying power? How truly startling...” an old man said softly.
He wore a rainbow feather coat and a jade crown, and he had the air of a Daoist immortal.
Mo Changkong.
The Palace Master of the Celestial Palace of the Church of the River of Stars!
“Don’t forget that he’s the reincarnation of the Temple Master. How could other Profound Serenity cultivators compare to him in terms of power and abilities?” a woman in purple palace garb said coolly. Her hair was tied up, and she sat there holding a sheathed sword.
Xue Zining.
The third high elder of the Studio of the Heart!
“No, according to His Excellency the Tailor, this person has yet to awaken the Temple Master’s memories. That he has such heaven-defying abilities is most likely because he’s refined Dark and Gold Essence and mastered the secrets of reincarnation,” said Yu Baichuan, the depths of his gaze glinting.
He was a tall, thin man in dark robes, and he gripped a jade ruler. This World King none other than the Third Warden of the Nine Heavens Pavilion!
“Reincarnation... Dark and Gold Essence... The Temple Master sure lives up to his reputation as the most terrifying sword cultivator of the stars. After disappearing for countless years, he’s grasped the secrets of reincarnation and stepped onto an even stronger, more mysterious path...” sighed an elder in gray.
He was short, with sunken eyes, and his hair and beard were unkempt.
Zhang Bailing, a high elder of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.
As the World Kings conversed, they completely disregarded the slaughtered Imperial Apex Emperors, focusing their attention on Su Yi’s strange qualities instead.
After all, the dead weren’t their sectmates. Instead, they were all from their subordinate factions!
“We’ve paid a bit of a price, and we still failed to probe the Temple Master’s reincarnation’s abilities. Truly disappointing. The savages of the Wilds are probably laughing at us already.”
“Then... shall we give the Temple Master’s reincarnation a taste of pain?”
“Pain? Hah, that’s too light a punishment. No need to waste time. Let’s just send in our Dao Clones.”
“Got it!”
As they conversed, Xue Zining sat down, raised her hand, and tapped.
Kcch!
A talisman appeared in the air and caught ablaze.
