Chapter 688: A Sword Illuminates the Darkness of the Eternal Night
Boooom~
Heaven and earth shook, and destructive energy swept outward.
Six Spiritual?Incarnation experts staggered backward.
When the onlookers witnessed this, all of them were astonished.
“This…” Yu Jiuzhen’s eyes bulged.
“So strong!” The cultivators of Cloudsky Divine Palace were, without exception, astonished out of their wits.
They’d already witnessed Su Yi’s strength during his earlier clash with Dongguo Feng.
Yet when the Dongguo Family Spiritual Incarnation Realm experts appeared, they nonetheless assumed Su Yi would have trouble avoiding disaster!
After all, the Dongguo Family’s Spiritual Incarnation experts were different from most others of their level.
They’d all inherited complete ancient legacies, and they mastered peak-level secret arts. Even their natal weapons were extraordinary.
This was the difference between cultivators of ancient factions and typical modern cultivators!
A vivid example of this was how Dongguo Feng, as a Spiritual Manifestation cultivator, forced True Monarch Tranquil Seas of Cloudsky Divine Palace to admit defeat.
How did that happen?
The crux of the matter was that although True Monarch Tranquil Seas was a Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivator, his legacies, treasures, and secret arts were far inferior to the scion of the Dongguo Family.
Now, six Dongguo Family Spiritual Incarnation Experts?had?joined forces. Their combined power was naturally terrifying beyond limit.
Dongguo Feng, as the leading figure of his clan’s younger generation, naturally knew that better than anyone.
Even in peak condition, he couldn’t have possibly fought all six of them!
Yet now that Su Yi had drawn his sword, one slash was enough to break through their joint attack!
This came as an enormous shock to Dongguo Feng, whose?expression filled?with uncertainty.?So, this is how terrifying he is once he’s drawn his sword… Does that mean that, had he wanted to kill me, I couldn’t have possibly stopped him?
“See that, Feng’er? If we let someone like him leave here alive, it’d be like letting a tiger return to the mountains. He’d surely be an enormous threat to the entire family!” Dongguo Hai said gravely.
This scene stunned him too, and his expression shifted erratically.
Dongguo Feng was silent, but inwardly, he was even angrier than before.?What ‘letting a tiger return to the mountain’? This incident should have ended already. If they’d just let him go, even if Su Yi wanted revenge, he would have just come after me!
But now…
It’s already too late!
“Get in formation!” Dongguo Hai said gravely.
“Got it!” The six Spiritual Incarnation cultivators joined forces once more. Each drew a beast-bone sword.
Boom!
When six beast-bone swords swept through the air, they formed an imposing sword formation, a hovering manifestation of the six directions.
Each beast-bone sword had been quenched in the power of the night, and they each were emblazoned with black totems.
Five of them were a dark vision of purgatory.
While the sixth and final sword manifested an illusory Yingzhao!
The Night of the Six Directions Combat Formation!
This was one of the Dongguo Family’s top ancestral legacies. It used Yingzhao Trueblood as a guide to gather the power of the night.
Once the formation took shape, it shrouded heaven and earth in darkness, like the onset of an eternal night!
It was as if the entire landscape had suddenly been plunged in endless darkness. Its force and momentum were enough to make even gods and ghosts shrink back in terror!
The onlookers were beside themselves with astonishment. All of them looked dazed.
In the face of such power, they couldn’t even work up the will to resist. They felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness and despair!
They even brought the clan’s Night of the Six Directions Combat Formation…?Dongguo Feng watched in a daze.
How could he fail to realize what this meant? The grand elder had clearly come prepared!
“Die!” As their explosive shouts shook the heavens, the six Spiritual Incarnation cultivators circulated the Night of the Six Directions Combat Formation with their full power.
Boom!!
Six beast-bone swords created a multi-layered curtain of night. The projection of a Yingzhao melded into it and charged murderously at Su Yi.
Heaven and earth were silent. Everything was shrouded in darkness.
Unsurpassed killing intent descended like an avalanche or tidal wave.
Any ordinary person’s eyes, mind, and soul would have already been shrouded in darkness, effectively rendering them blind and helpless to do anything but wait to die.
“Yet another paltry little trick too fragile to block even a single blow.” Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of disdain.
No matter how strong a combat formation was, it was, ultimately, just a combination of several people’s power. It might seem terrifying beyond limit, but so long as you could discern its weaknesses, it was nothing but empty posturing.
Other cultivators would have struggled to locate this terrifying formation’s weak points. However, to Su Yi, it was riddled with obvious flaws!
As he focused his will, Su Yi strode through the air and attacked.
His aura was as sharp and forceful as a sword piercing the sky, and his divine sense circulated Heaven’s Mirror. It was as if the dome of heaven had become a reflective surface, revealing the entire landscape in all its facets.
Clang!
The Abstruse God Sword hummed and attacked.
A streak of sword qi shot forth, cleaving through the purgatory-like darkness.
A sword illuminated the darkness of an eternal night!
Boom!
When the sword qi slashed into the illusory Yingzhao, it instantly burst with piercing, stinging flames of sword qi. The curtain of darkness shrouding the landscape rumbled, then fell apart with a boom.
A series of startled cries rang out.
When the onlookers’ field of vision cleared up, they saw that beneath the dome of heaven, an eye-catching cut had appeared through the six Spiritual Incarnation cultivators’ beast-bone sword formation.
Then, the formation shattered into pieces.
Bang!!!
A dense series of cracking noises rang out, reverberating throughout heaven and earth.
Without exception, the onlookers’ eyes widened, and their jaws hung slack.
One sword, and he’d broken through the Night of the Six Directions Combat Formation!
How terrifyingly strong did someone have to be to achieve that?
Dongguo Feng suddenly thought back to when he fought Su Yi. Even when he used his Heavenly Yao Trueblood, he couldn’t influence Su Yi in the slightest. Su Yi had countered him with a single attack.
It was as if that scene were playing out before him again, beat for beat!
As uproar coursed through the crowd, Su Yi began the killing.
His blue robes fluttered around him, and his figure seemed illusory, like a streak of light. It might have seemed like he was out for a casual stroll, but in truth, his movements were unbelievably quick.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before a man in jade-green robes.
The man’s pupils constricted, and his immediate response was to flee.
.
However, a slash of sword qi arrived faster than he could react!
Splurt!
A bloody severed head flew through the air.
Unstoppable sword qi ran wild, unleashing its destructive power. In one fell swoop, it crushed both the jade-robed man’s body and severed head into pieces, which scattered like bloody rain.
A Spiritual Incarnation cultivator of the Dongguo Family had fallen!
That bloody, tyrannical scene immediately shocked everyone present.
However, Su Yi’s expression was perfectly calm. He just continued toward the other five Spiritual Incarnation cultivators.
When fighting broke out, why would he hesitate?
He’d approached his duel with Dongguo Feng with the desire to spar and probe his opponent’s abilities.
But this time? He was here to kill!
“Quick! Use your full power and kill him!” shouted an elder in Confucian robes.
His sleeves fluttered around him as he drew a glittering golden flying knife. He was the first to slash at Su Yi.
“Activate!”
“Go!”
“Cut!”
“Kill!”
The other four Spiritual Incarnation cultivators used a Daoist seal, a fly-whisk, a treasure bottle, and a spiritual sword.
Daoist incantations rumbled, divine light circulated, and sword qi swept forth like the tide.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth was thrown into turmoil, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Su Yi’s gaze was calm and indifferent. He made no attempt to dodge or flee. He just approached and met the attacks head-on.
Clang!
With a resonant impact, a casual swing of Su Yi’s sword sent the descending golden flying knife flying.
Then, he raised and slashed his sword through the air.
Splurt!
Thirty feet away, a gray-robed middle-aged man wielding a fly-whisk split in two mid-charge. Blood splattered the air as the bisected halves of his corpse fell down to earth.
A second Spiritual Incarnation cultivator had fallen!
Su Yi didn’t even stop to look. He suddenly stepped forward, and…
Boom!
The entire stretch of sky seemed to collapse. The Daoist seal, spiritual sword, and treasure bottle all trembled as if suppressed.
“Shit!” A graying, black-robed elder with youthful features visibly lost his composure. He was just about to retrieve the Daoist seal under his control when…
A boundless waterfall of sword qi descended upon him, enveloping both the black-robed elder and the hundred feet of sky surrounding him.
“No——!” A miserable desperate shriek rang out, then came to an abrupt halt.
The black-robed elder disintegrated into tiny pieces beneath the boundless sword qi, then dissipated into nothingness.
This bloody scene astonished everyone present. They almost dared not believe their eyes.
It had all happened too quickly!
When Su Yi broke the Night of the Six Directions Combat Formation, he struck as quick as a beam of light. He appeared out of nowhere, and wherever his blade went, death was sure to follow!
What treasures? What secret arts? Against him, they were all as brittle as paper mache, unable to take even a single attack!
In just a few blinks of an eye, he’d executed three Spiritual Incarnation cultivators in rapid succession!
How was this any different from killing chickens or slaughtering dogs?
“How is this possible…?” Someone said despondently.
“He.. He… How could he be so terrifying?” said someone else with utter shock.
But even more people were so shaken that they just stood there in a daze. All they could think was that Su Yi now resembled an immortal from on high, matchless and invincible!
The Dongguo Family’s Spiritual Incarnation cultivators were far beyond most others of the same realm!
Yet now, even though they fought together, Su Yi was cutting them up with the same ease as if he were chopping up vegetables. Who wouldn’t have been surprised? Who wouldn’t have been terrified?
“When I first met him, I was like a frog in a well, ignorant of his strength. Today, when I saw him again… didn’t I make the very same mistake…?” Daoist Master Coldsmoke murmured, her heart shaking.
“Master, you’re no frog in a well. It’s just that Young Lord Su has changed too much; it’s beyond what we could have imagined,” said Wen Xinzhao. She looked dazed, but the hand gripping the Butterfly Transforming the Firmament silently unclenched.
What need was there for external power at a time like this?
“Big Brother Su Yi was strong to begin with!” Qing Ya excitedly waved her little fists.
Of everyone present, only this simple, unaffected young woman had been completely confident in Su Yi from beginning to end.
So this is his true power…?Dongguo Feng’s heart shook, and he felt a chill in his extremities. For the first time, the leading figure of the Dongguo Family’s younger generation realized just how far behind he was when he fought Su YI.
“Dammit!” Dongguo Hai was alarmed too. His expression changed dramatically, and he knew he could no longer remain a bystander.
His qi rumbled, and he stepped into the air, but just as he was about to attack…
Su Yi’s robes billowed around him as he suddenly pressed down on the sky with the Abstruse God Sword.
He was like an immortal swinging his sword, intent on dominating the human world!
“Hurry up and flee!”
Only three Spiritual Incarnation cultivators remained. All of them cried out in alarm. They’d already realized that this didn’t bode well for them, and their will to fight had collapsed. How could they dare to stick around any longer?
They directly turned and fled!
However, just as they were about to flee, the sword qi filling the air descended, vast and boundless as the river of heaven bursting through a dam and pouring onto the world below.
The three Spiritual Incarnation cultivators were like blades of grass beneath a raging tidal wave.
The wave enveloped them, destroying them body and soul!
