Chapter 562: Enemies on All Sides, but I Desire Defeat!
The Platform of Heaven’s Ascension.
The combined auras of nine Spiritual Manifestation cultivators soared into the firmament like a raging tidal wave sweeping across heaven and earth.
When they saw this, the distant onlookers’ expressions shifted involuntarily.
However, Su Yi’s eyes subtly lit up. “This is a bit interesting.”
Between now and when he first entered Nine Tripod City, a long time had passed since he’d gotten the chance to fight to his heart’s content.
Even killing the mid-stage Spiritual Manifestation Realm Huo Tiandu wasn’t enough to satiate him.
But this was different.
His opponents were nine monstrous Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators, all with terrifying foundations and extraordinary talent. They were far beyond an older-generation Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivator like Huo Tiandu.
Of course Su Yi was looking forward to this!
“Su Yi, today, you’ll die beyond a shadow of a doubt!”
Mo Xingzhe was the first to charge into the fray.
Streak after streak of black lightning revolved around him, while his eyes flashed with silver light. They were deep and unearthly, as if he were staring at them from the Netherworld.
Boom!
Mo Xingzhe clasped his hands together and pulled a black spear out of the void.
The spear was forged out of shiny black crystal, and its sharp tip glinted with cold, cruel light. It appeared alongside sinister, terrifying flames.
The Heavenly Netherworld Spear!
Countless streaks of black lightning danced about its tip, giving it an imposing presence.
“Die!” Mo Xingzhe bellowed, swung his spear, and stabbed. He was shockingly quick, and he arrived before Su Yi in a flash.
He wanted to run Su Yi through in a single attack.
This was the attack Mo Xingzhe was most proud of, and he put almost everything he had into it.
He was confident that with it, he could look down upon the vast majority of cultivators of the same realm.
However, a moment later, his smile abruptly froze and disappeared.
Su Yi didn’t so much as attempt to dodge. He just raised his hand and gently tapped. His fingertip shone with dazzling clear light, and it landed directly on the spear’s tip.
“Su Yi, my Heavenly Netherworld Spear isn’t so easy to block!” Mo Xingzhe burst into laughter.
The Heavenly Netherworld Spear was utterly insidious. Its interior was full of condensed, terrifying baleful energy. Even other Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators wouldn’t dare to block it head-on. Otherwise, the dark lightning would corrode them and freeze them to death.
Bang!
An earth-shaking impact ran out, and streaks of black lightning traveled up Su Yi’s finger and wrapped around his arm.
However, the Dao Charms of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang surrounded Su Yi’s entire body. They carried with them a thread of the perfection of the Yin-Yang, a concept of indestructibility. No matter how vicious the dark lightning was, it couldn’t invade Su Yi’s body.
“Break!” Su Yi shouted, and the clear light emanating from his finger intensified. He suddenly burst with enormous strength.
Mo Xingzhe felt an unstoppable, overflowing power crash into him, as if a deity had raised a divine mountain and slammed it back down to earth.
Crunch!
The Heavenly Netherworld Spear wrapped in Yin lightning broke, inch by inch, starting from the tip, then scattered into a rain of black flight.
Su Yi’s finger shattered the entire weapon into nothingness!
Bang!
The impact sent Mo Xingzhe staggering back. His expression changed, and he couldn’t help but shout, “How is this possible?”
The distant onlookers gasped. All of them were shaken.
Earlier, Su Yi sent a monster like Qi Xiao flying with a single palm.
Now, the power of a single finger destroyed the heaven-defying Mo Xingzhe’s killer?move!
This was unquestionably far too terrifying.
“Everyone, attack at once!” Huan Shaoyou and the others sensed that something was amiss. Their expressions changed, and they promptly attacked.
“Rise!” Huan Shaoyou bellowed and led the charge.
Whoosh!
His purple spiritual sword slashed through the air, and in an instant, eight hundred streaks of purple sword qi surged into being. The sword qi overlapped, like twigs in a bird’s nest, and cleaved at Su Yi with overwhelming force.
The Limitless Purple River Sword!
One attack guided the eight hundred streams of sword qi, which blanketed heaven and earth. Such force could easily suppress and kill opponents of the same level; this was one of the Demonic Huan Family’s core inheritances.
“I’ll fight too!” A man in fiery robes said in a low voice
Boom!
A terrifying momentum soared around him, and a giant bronze bell appeared and hovered before him. It was carved with longitudinal and latitudinal lines, as well as ancient diagrams of various celestial bodies.
The Annihilation Spirit Bell!
When this magic treasure appeared, a low, thunderous rumbling emanated from the bell.
Golden sound waves visible to the naked eye swept toward Su Yi, throwing the air into chaos. The surface of the Platform of Heaven’s Ascension was incomparably firm, yet it cracked in the face of the golden sound waves. Nothing could stand in their way.
The sound stung the distant onlookers’ ears and threw their hearts and minds into turmoil. They had no choice but to circulate their cultivations to neutralize the sound waves’ power.
“Rise!”
“Activate!”
“Go!”
A series of bellows rang out as the other monsters of the ancient era called upon their trump cards.
A blood-colored furnace took to the skies and revolved in the air. Thousands of crows manifested out of flame surged out of it, forming a massive swarm. They danced in their air, and when they beat their wings, they scattered currents of blood-colored flame.
A divine seal carved out of white bone lit up, and sinister, blood-colored demonic figures surged out of it, teeth bared and claws extended as they rampaged throughout heaven and earth.
Flying swords, spears, halberds, giant axes, and various other treasures hurtled through the sky, all of them overflowing with power. These were rare treasures even within the Spirit Dao level.
In addition, the monsters of the ancient era unleashed all manner of monstrously powerful secret arts, stirring up dazzlingly bright divine radiance. Each had its own charms, but they gathered together like a current, their combined power enough to shake heaven and earth.
All nine Spiritual Manifestation Realm monsters of the ancient era had attacked at once!
How terrifying of a scene was that!?
Even the distant onlookers, even those who’d stepped into the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, and even those as mighty as Zeng Pu, Chi Jiansu, and Chen Lu—all of them stiffened, and all of them felt chills course down their spines.
Such a lineup and such power were enough to threaten any of their lives!
“Excellent!”
Even in the face of all this, Su Yi showed no signs of fear. On the contrary, he threw back his head and laughed.
Sharp sword intent burst around him, and his aura clanged like a divine sword, surging to unbelievable heights.
He had an unrestrained bearing and the demeanor of an immortal!
Su Yi swung his fist, and a moment later, he clashed with the incoming golden soundwaves.
Boom!
The air was in turmoil as spiritual power boiled over.
Two terrifying powers collided, booming on impact. The man in fiery robes, the one controlling the bronze bell, suddenly felt suffocated, and he almost lost control over his magic treasure. He was left with no choice but to retreat.
Su Yi flicked his finger, sending a streak of sword qi through the air. It was pointed and conical, and it burst through Huan Shaoyou’s wave of eight hundred streaks of purple sword qi.
The sound of sword qi bursting apart reverberated throughout heaven and earth.
Su Yi had already started fighting the others.
Boom!
The palm manifested of the Great Nirvana Wind and Lightning Art descended, sending a glittering golden spear flying.
Immediately afterward, Su Yi pressed his hands together and caught a flying sword between his palms just as it was about to strike.
Kcch!
The flying sword was incomparably sharp, with the power to slay Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators. However, after Su Yi caught it, it was instantly as helpless as a dead snake.
Su Yi then exerted strength through his fingers, breaking the flying sword.
In the time it took to snap his fingers, he’d broken through the joint attacks of four monsters of the ancient era!
This unmatched valiance shook everyone present.
However, he had nine Spiritual Manifestation Realm opponents in total. After blocking four of their attacks in rapid succession, even Su Yi’s aura appeared a bit sluggish.
Mo Xingzhe seized the opportunity to activate a crimson halberd and charge explosively at Su Yi.
Boom!
The blood-colored halberd cut through the sky, bursting with terrifying murderous energy.
Especially after witnessing Su Yi’s strength, Mo Xingzhe drew upon the full extent of his strength, practically burning up his potential to take advantage of Su Yi’s apparent vulnerability. He was clearly dead set on killing him.
“Scram!” Su Yi’s eyes flashed with cold lightning, and he crossed his arms in front of himself and condensed a Daoist seal, which he slammed into the sky.
Bang!!!
The blood-colored halberd buzzed and shook.
The impact sent Mo Xingzhe flying, but his face filled with delight. “Everyone, he’s already injured!”
When his companions looked, they saw that Su Yi’s shoulder was torn and bloodied.
This was a flesh wound the blade light of Mo Xingzhe’s halberd had left behind.
An injury like this meant little to Su Yi; it was almost negligible. It would knit together in the blink of an eye.
Nonetheless, the sight invigorated the monsters of the ancient era. They now saw hope of victory!
The distant onlookers’ hearts shook.
They were astonished at Su Yi’s heaven-defying display of power as a Gathering Stars Realm cultivator, but they were similarly astonished by the power of Huan Shaoyou and the other Spiritual Manifestation Realm monsters of the ancient era!
Rumble! Boom! Boom!
Nine monsters of the ancient era joined forces and attacked once more.
Purple sword qi and white arcs flew gracefully through the air, a bell shook, and swarms of demonic shadows…
The power of nine Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators was on full display; they poured everything into their Daoist magic and treasures, enveloping the entire Platform of Heaven’s Ascension in a flood of explosive power.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth shook violently, and the surrounding clouds collapsed!
Even the oldest, most knowledgeable, strongest peak Spiritual Manifestation cultivators of the Great Xia would have been ripped apart!
The pressure on Su Yi suddenly increased.
However, this only intensified his will to fight. His blood seemed to boil, and he felt a type of joy he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
The danger in the air, the pressure bearing down on him, the knowledge that injuries might strike at any moment… It made Su Yi feel as if he were drinking the world’s strongest and most delectable alcohol.
The more you drank, the more intoxicated you got, and the more joyful you felt.
The Dao of the Sword was the mightiest when it came to killing.
Thus, a sword cultivator’s life never lacked life-and-death battles or trials by blood and fire!
It had been a long time since Su Yi experienced risk, danger, or injuries. It was lonely at the top, and he’d been longing for defeat for a while.
As he fought, the more dangerous his predicament, the more eager he felt.
Everyone around him knew that he cultivated assiduously, but in every other aspect of his lie, he was as lazy as could be.
However, although few knew it, in his bones, Su Xuanjun was extraordinarily fond of combat. In his past life, he’d once traveled the Wilds, alone except for his sword, all in search of worthy opponents.
As the battle continued, he fought without restraint, using all manner of wondrous abilities freely.
Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword.
The Rejoicing Sword Sutra.
The Great Nirvana Wind and Lightning Art…
By the end, his three types of peerless Dao Charm—the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Wind and Lightning—fused into his different secret arts and displayed their full might.
Watching from a distance, although he was surrounded and beset on all sides, he averted every lethal strike, escaping death in the nick of time!
He was one person with enemies on all sides, but the longer the battle drew on, the more valiantly he fought. Without exception, the distant onlookers were astonished and tongue-tied.
They couldn’t even imagine how the Gathering Stars Realm Su Yi could wield such heaven-defying power!
