Chapter 1263 - Within Three Steps, Destroyed, Body and Soul
Meanwhile, within one of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect’s ritual grounds.
A Heaven-Surveying Mirror floated in the air, creating a massive curtain of light.
The curtain of light reflected Su Yi’s image.
The gathered Primordial Unity Daoist Sect experts were instantly in uproar.
“Is that the Temple Master’s reincarnation?”
“Hah? He actually dared show up here alone? He sure is gutsy!”
“I heard Master say that if the Temple Master’s reincarnation dares show up, there’s absolutely no way he’ll ever leave!”
Within these ritual grounds, thousands of Primordial Unity Daoist Sect disciples clustered around, looking up at the curtain of light.
Perhaps due to his excessive youth, they spoke of the Temple Master’s reincarnation without much fear or awe, and their words were brazen and unrestrained.
Some of the sect’s higher-ups were there too, watching from pavilions and gazebos along the ritual grounds’ periphery.
But they were much calmer than the sect’s younger disciples, and their words were more reserved. Few dared underestimate their enemy.
“That he’s here proves that he has ill intentions. Furthermore, the Temple Master’s reincarnation dared show up here alone, so I’m afraid there’s a reason for his confidence.”
“No need for excessive concern. The sect’s old-timers have already made ample preparations. That should be enough to resolve any situations that arise.”
“That’s right. After all, he’s just a reincarnation.”
...A’Cai heard their discussions, and she couldn’t help but shake her head. She was in one of the pavilions and seated near a window, so she could see the scenery reflected on the curtain of light clearly.
“The Temple Master really has been gone for far too long. Now, even the younger generations dare comment on him freely,” she said softly.
Suddenly, her starry eyes focused.
Practically simultaneously, all discussion came to an abrupt halt.
Countless eyes turned toward the curtain of light, and countless spectators watched with bated breath.
Within the grand hall, Sect Leader Weng Pu said softly, “From this moment forth, Su Yi has no escape route left!”
Shui Tianhan, Li Xunzhen, and Gu Lingyun were already seated, sipping tea as they watched the curtain of light.
They seemed perfectly composed.
There was always a calm before a storm.
They’d already thoroughly prepared to fight the Temple Master. All they had to do now was act in accordance with their plans and slowly pull in the net!
......
The soft rain and mist left the entire world damp.
Streaks of the power of the Laws fell like rain, silently surging up throughout the landscape.
Su Yi glanced at them, then looked away.
The Laws of Primordial Unity.
The Celestial Laws of the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm.
Throughout the ages, the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect had retained control of these Laws.
It was for this reason that they’d always been like sovereigns of the Thousand Opportunities Star Realms vast territories. This was why the star realm’s countless cultivators could only submit!
It was no exaggeration to say that here in the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect’s territory, they could rely on the Laws of Primordial Unity Alone to kill even most World Kings!
But those who controlled Laws of the same level could fight back against this.
And Su Yi just so happened to control similar Laws.
And more than just one at that!
He gazed up at the distant Primordial Unity Divine Peak.
Despite the distance, he could see it clearly. The massive, majestic mountain connected heaven and earth.
They’re using Heaven-Surveying Mountains to observe me. Are they hoping to watch me make a fool out of myself?”
The moment he entered this place, he sensed its numerous unusual features. The seemingly tranquil, empty landscape was in fact full of hidden dangers.
There was no doubt about it; the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect was prepared for his arrival.
Off in the distance, a formation suddenly fluctuated, and a figure appeared.
He was a young man with blue armor and long white hair. He carried a coarsely built longbow.
Both the bow and its bowstring were swathed in purple electricity, and the weapon emanated shocking destructive energy fluctuations.
Su Yi was briefly stunned. It’s actually him?
He recognized the man at a glance. This was Qing Xiao, the one who’d shot and severely injured Old Ghost Coffin-Bearer before the Tree of the Ten Thousand Worlds of Samsara!
“What a coincidence,” whispered Su Yi.
“It’s not a coincidence at all. I specifically requested to be the first to test your strength,” Qing Xiao said plainly. His white hair fluttered around him, and his blue armor glowed. He was like a majestic god of war, his majesty imposing.
Su Yi’s eyebrows rose. “Didn’t Xue Changyi tell you my decision?”
He’d had Xue Changyi tell the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect that if they realized Ancestor Yue Hong and Bai He, he’d give them an opportunity for a fair fight.
But if they refused, he’d block the sect’s gates and kill any member of the sect on sight.
Now, it seemed they hadn’t taken his threats seriously!
Qing Xiao snickered. “Su Yi, you’re nothing but the Temple Master’s reincarnation. Do you really think you’re the Temple Master at his peak?”
His words were rife with mockery.
He paused, then continued, “Our sect leader said we’d give you an opportunity. So long as you reach our sect gates, we’ll let both hostages go.”
Su Yi took out and sipped from a jug of wine, then said softly, “Were Deng Zuo here, the old charlatan would never have let you do anything so stupid.”
‘Stupid?’ Qing Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Beyond the gates, inside the grand hall, Sect Leader Weng Pu and the three Cosmic Enlightenment ancestors were stunned. They looked at each other and laughed too.
This Su Yi person’s cultivation base is weaker than the Temple Master’s, but his temperament and bragging skills are superior!
“Although Qing Xiao is only in the mid-stage Oneness Realm, his Dao of Archery is extraordinary, and he once received Ancestor Deng Zuo’s personal guidance. When he goes all out, he has few opponents within the same realm,” Weng Pu said softly. “Furthermore, the surrounding eight hundred miles are already enshrouded in the Laws of Primordial Unity. If they fight here, Qing Xiao will be like a sovereign directing the might of heaven. He’ll be able to threaten even the lives of early-stage Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings. That’s why I agreed to his request to be the first to fight.”
The three Cosmic Enlightenment Realm ancestors nodded.
Meanwhile, the thousands of Primordial Unity Daoist Sect disciples watching from the ritual grounds burst into uproarious laughter. Isn’t the Temple Master’s reincarnation... a bit too brazen?
“Is it funny?” Su Yi glanced at Qing Xiao.
Qing Xiao threw back his head and laughed, pointing at his stomach. “Do you really need to ask? You’ve got me laughing so hard that my stomach hurts.”
“Oh,” said Su Yi. He took a step forward.
The laughing Qing Xiao instantly seemed like an entirely different person. The light of the Grand Dao burst around him, and he surged with electricity.
A strung bow appeared in his grip, and he fired a purple arrow.
He completed this entire series of actions instantaneously, in one smooth movement.
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled, and thunder and lightning surged.
The drizzle of rain filling the landscape instantly evaporated.
Thick streaks of the mysterious power of the Laws descended, fusing into that radiant purple arrow. It streaked through the air as it exploded toward Su Yi.
Its power was unparalleled in its tyranny!
There was no doubt about it. Qing Xiao might have seemed arrogant, but it was all fake. In truth, he’d long since been prepared. The moment Su Yi took action, he activated his trump card and unleashed his killer move!
The power of that arrow was enough to threaten even a Cosmic Enlightenment Realm expert!
Su Yi didn’t dodge it.
His hands stayed behind his back; he didn’t even counterattack.
It was as if he didn’t even notice.
But when the arrow got within three feet of him, it was as if it had sunk into a swamp-like vortex. It wailed and shook violently.
Upon closer inspection, Su Yi’s entire body was swathed in wisps of the mysterious Laws of Restricting the Profound. They were like a revolving millstone, effortlessly suppressing the terrifying power of that purple divine arrow.
And as Su Yi took a step forward, the arrow that Qing Xiao had put the full extent of a lifetime of accumulated power into, the arrow that drew upon the Laws of heaven and earth, suddenly split down the center.
Crunch!
An explosion went off like a thunderclap.
Qing Xiao’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he almost dared not believe his eyes.
He didn’t think he’d underestimated his opponent; he used his killer move right off the bat. He figured that even if Su Yi managed to block it, it ought to at least catch him off guard.
Who’d have thought Su Yi wouldn’t even need to counterattack? He shattered Qing Xiao’s supreme attack in a single step!
“Hm?” Sect Leader Weng Pu and the three Ancestors were all stunned.
When an expert struck, his skill was obvious.
But this was even more terrifying; Su Yi hadn’t attacked, but rather, used his power of the Grand Dao to destroy their arrow!
“Junior Apprentice Brother Qing Xiao, hurry up and retreat!” Weng Pu transmitted through a secret art. “Everyone else, meet him head-on! Quickly!”
Although Qing Xiao was unwilling, when he heard Weng Pu’s orders, he decisively began his retreat.
Whoosh!
Misty light circulated around him, and the power of the Laws interwove. A talisman caught ablaze, surging with spatial power. It was on the verge of teleporting him away.
But a moment later, Qing Xiao’s expression changed abruptly.
Because when Su Yi’s next step landed, it was as if space had been locked down. Even the talisman’s power froze.
“Break!”
Qing Xiao waved his bow and attacked with all his might.
Boom!
His cultivation base boiled over, his divine majesty filling the sky.
But as the formless power of the Laws of Restricting the Profound descended, they severed Qing Xiao’s connection to the severing laws, leaving him so stifled he could barely breathe. This entire body was under the effects of a terrifying suppression.
Like a captive beast!
“Shit!” Qing Xiao’s scalp numbed, and he visibly lost his cool.
It was then that Su Yi raised his foot a third time.
Qing Xiao was forced to kneel on the ground. Throughout his body, his skin cracked and burst, and his bones, tendons, and flesh split.
Like cracked porcelain on the verge of shattering.
“No——!”
Qing Xiao’s eyes bulged, and his soul origin tried to flee.
But when Su Yi’s third step landed...
Bang!!!
Qing Xiao’s fleshly body and soul origin exploded into a bundle of bloody mist.
Before the mist could dissipate, it disintegrated into ash.
All that remained was Qing Xiao’s scattered belongings, including his bow!
Although this took time to describe, it happened in the time it took for Su Yi to take three leisurely steps. It was as if he were out for a stroll.
He had never attacked. All he'd done was take three steps, yet he’d destroyed a Oneness Realm World King of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect!
That tyrannical, bloody scene astonished everyone present.
“Your stomach is about to burst from laughter? No, you were obviously about to die of laughter.” Su Yi stood there and shook his head.
Whistling sounds echoed from the distant skies: the experts Weng Pu had sent to Qing Xiao’s aid.
They’d only just arrived here in time to witness Qing Xiao’s death. All of them were alarmed and enraged, and their expressions shifted.
Within three steps, he had suppressed and slain Qing Xiao!
His methods were powerful beyond any of their imaginations.
This was far, far beyond their estimates, and naturally also beyond the scope of their preparations. As a result, they couldn’t save him in time!
