Chapter 752: Heaven and Earth Are Like a Painting, a Sword Divides Them
“I’ve got no shortage of delightful surprises,” Su Yi said coolly. “Don’t get excited prematurely.”
Just as Ye Xiao stabilized himself, Su Yi threw yet another punch!
Boom!
It was a fist imprint, just as before. Su Yi’s sleeves billowed, revealing his jade-like fist.
At Su Yi’s level, every movement was full of the profound, inscrutable power of the Grand Dao.
When someone was strong enough, there was no need for shocking Daoist magics or supreme secret techniques. Sheer power could break all abilities!
This was true against Ye Xiao, too.
Who cared how frenzied and tyrannical his Dao of Slaughter was? Su Yi’s power could still break right through it!
“Hmph!” Ye Xiao snorted coldly, a frenzied, vicious look appearing on his handsome face.
Although Su Yi’s last two attacks had forced him back, he hadn’t suffered any serious injuries. He just looked rather haggard.
“Activate!” His voice boomed like thunder, reverberating throughout heaven and earth.
An utterly terrifying blood-soaked vision of purgatory appeared behind him, complete with a mountain of corpses and sea of blood. Its destructive aura blotted out the sun.
The Purgatory of Slaughter!
The power of Ye Xiao’s Grand Dao Spirit Wheel!
While Su Yi was completely enveloped within the Purgatory of Slaughter it manifested. He found himself in a bloody domain separate from the outside world.
Waves of blood churned, and corpses were as numerous as trees in the forest. The terrifying destructive energy transformed into lightning and spread outward.
Any Spiritual Revolution cultivator who found themself trapped here would instantly face unbearable pressure from that aura of destruction, killing them on the spot!
Ye Xiao’s Dao of Slaughter was on full display. How could its power possibly be ordinary?
Boom!
A massive wave swept through the sea of blood. Countless corpses surged up, like a horde of demons going to war, and charged at Su Yi.
At the same time, the lightning manifested from the aura of destruction enveloped him.
This Grand Dao Domain really is top-notch,?thought Su Yi.
His expression remained calm, neither panicked nor flustered. His sleeves billowed around him.
The wondrous power of the Grand Dao flowed around him, outlining a perfectly round circle of light.
The circle of light revolved slowly, like a millstone.
Rumble——
As the surging wave of blood came crashing down, it slammed into the wheel of light, like waves battering the shore. In the end, it receded, having accomplished nothing.
The corpses charging in like an army of demons were flattened, one by one. They burst, transforming into an aura of slaughter and dispersing.
Even the lightning descending from the heavens couldn’t break through the light around Su Yi.
From a distance, it was as if Su Yi were a boulder. No matter how the winds blew, they couldn’t move him!
“It’s no use. In the Purgatory of Slaughter, I am the heavens. Here, I am a sovereign, and everything is under my control!” Ye Xiao’s uproarious laughter rang out.
He stepped through the sea of blood, the skies full of the lightning of destruction guarding him. Within the Purgatory of Slaughter, his imposing aura reached an unimaginable level of power.
The Ye Family experts on Moonview Plateau were in uproar, and their spirits soared once more.
The Purgatory of Slaughter!
In the Mysterious Blue Realm, they’d appraised it as a first-rate Grand Dao Spirit Wheel. Even Emperors who saw it were stunned and sang its praises without end.
The Emperors of the Ye Family were certain that, with his foundations, when Ye Xiao proved his Dao and became an Emperor, he’d shine even among Imperial experts!
“Cut!” Divine Hatred suddenly buzzed in Ye Xiao’s hand as he slashed through the air.
Boom!
Saber qi pierced the heavens, like the symbol of a sovereign’s murderous intent, dominating heaven and earth. It was countless times stronger than before.
“A domain manifested?of a?Spirit Wheel, that’s all. That’s enough for you to call yourself a sovereign?” Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “In that case, ‘sovereign,’ I’ll have you lose in terms of the Dao you take the most pride in!”
He’d only just said this when he stepped forward, and an unstoppable force shot forth, shaking the entire Purgatory of Slaughter.
Then, his right hand shot out and smacked the air.
His fingers were long and slender, and his gesture seemed light and airy, without the slightest power. However, it was as if the hammer of a god had slammed into the incoming saber qi, exploding it with a bang.
Ye Xiao’s expression changed, but before he could launch another attack, Su Yi leaped into the air.
He raised both hands, then suddenly pressed the air in front of him.
Boom!!!!
Countless dazzling streaks of sword qi surged forth, like the river of heaven bursting through a dam. It was boundless and majestic as it bore down.
The Purgatory of Slaughter shook violently.
Sword qi ripped apart the endless sea of blood, cleaving it into countless pieces. The corpses as numerous as trees in a forest burst apart like clumps of grass.
The lightning of destruction enveloping the domain was ripped to shreds, producing rumbling booms.
The sword qi surged like a flood or a raging tidal wave, overturning the blood-soaked purgatory!
“Dammit!” Ye Xiao’s expression darkened, and he furiously swung his saber.
However, mere moments later, the boundless sword qi sent him staggering backward. Divine Hatred shook violently in his grip, and his blood and qi churned.
“What terrifying sword intent! What shocking foundations in the Grand Dao!” Ye Xiao couldn’t help but look stunned.
Although he was the famous homicidal maniac of the Mysterious Blue Realm.
By now, how could he fail to realize that despite Su Yi’s Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivation, his foundations and power of the Grand Dao far surpassed his?
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but find this difficult to believe.
He thought the foundations he’d established in the Spirit Dao made him practically invincible among his contemporaries, and even the clan’s old-timers raved about him. They said that even in the Nine Provinces of the Wilds, his accumulations would let him stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the top chosen of heaven of peak orthodoxies!
Yet now, a Spiritual Incarnation Realm young man was fighting him barehanded—and suppressing him!
Of course Ye Xiao was surprised. How could he not be?
Boom!
Before Ye Xiao could give the matter any further thought, the entire Purgatory of Slaughter trembled violently, unable to bear the pressure. Immediately afterward, it collapsed with a bang.
A flood swept outward, shooting sword qi.
It was as if a volcano had erupted beneath the dome of heaven. The skies collapsed, and the air was thrown into chaos.
Ye Xiao was sent flying back uncontrollably. He flew thousands of feet before stopping.
By the time he’d steadied himself, his handsome face was pallid and translucent, and eye-catching, red blood poured from his mouth!
The Ye Family experts on Moonview Plateau reacted as if they’d been struck by lightning. They were visibly astonished.
He destroyed the Purgatory of Slaughter!?
And it seemed that Ye Xiao had been badly injured!
This scene had simply overturned their perceptions of reality; it was beyond imagining. They felt as if their minds had gone completely blank.
Ever since stepping into the Spirit Dao in the Mysterious Blue Realm, Ye Xiao had never once lost!
Much less been forced into such a sorry state!
“Ye Jinzhi, when you said Su Yi has become extremely impressive, I only half believed now. Now, it seems you really didn’t deceive me,” muttered Ye Yunlan. He looked utterly gratified and excited.
“....”
Ye Jinzhi had only elevated Su Yi to emphasize how much stronger Ye Xiao was. Who’d have thought Ye Yunlan would turn around and use her words to mock her right back?
But she couldn’t argue with him.?The Purgatory of Slaughter had been destroyed, and Ye Xiao was injured. This had already dealt her an enormous mental blow. Her heart shook, and she was beside herself with disbelief.
“Your Grand Dao Spirit Wheel really is extraordinary, but it’s just as I said earlier. To me, such power is unworthy of notice.”
Beneath the dome of heaven, the torrents of destructive energy dissipated, revealing Su Yi’s tall, upright figure.?His blue robes swayed around him, without the slightest damage or contamination. He basked in the light of the heavens, like a god or immortal.
“Unworthy of notice?” Ye Xiao took a deep breath, then looked down at Divine Hatred and muttered, “Indeed, when it comes to our accumulations and power of the Grand Dao, you’re superior to me, no matter how much I hate to admit it.”
But as soon as he said this, he looked up and fixed his gaze on the distant Su Yi. A grin suddenly spread across his face. “Meeting an opponent like you is the most delightful thing that’s happened to me since I arrived on the Azure Continent!”
His voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, leaving the onlookers stunned. Waves of emotion coursed through their hearts.
Ye Xiao’s calm exterior couldn’t hide the terrifying insanity beneath the surface.
Even Ye Yunlan felt a chill course through him as he realized that Ye Xiao was furious!
“Your combat skills have really disappointed me,” said Su Yi.
He shook his head.
He wasn’t just saying this to belittle his opponent; when Ye Yunlan described Ye Xiao to him, Su Yi felt a bit eager. He’d thought he might finally meet a worthwhile opponent.
But after stepping into the Spiritual Incarnation Realm, the likes of Ye Xiao presented little threat…
“Disappointed?” Ye Xiao laughed. “It doesn’t matter if you’re disappointed, because today… you’re going to die!”
His laughter carried both conviction and madness.
His voice still echoed through the air as his qi completely boiled over. Arcs of terrifying bloody light pierced the dome of heaven, and his imposing aura swelled to a whole new level!
And his saber, Divine Hatred, blazed as if on fire. The black cloth wrapped around the hilt trembled, emanating an inky black and vicious murderous intent.
The Ye Family experts gathered on Moonview Plateau felt their hair stand on end.
Ye Yunlan’s expression shifted dramatically, and he called out, “Be careful! Ye Xiao has undone Divine Hatred’s seal! The power of an Emperor’s remains is sealed inside!"
His voice spread throughout the nine heavens.
“It’s too late to warn him now.” Ye Xiao threw back his head and laughed.
He leaped into the sky and suddenly swung his saber.
In that moment, heaven and earth suddenly darkened, as if they’d been plunged into an endless night. A terrifying wave of murderous intent swept forth like the tide, blotting out the skies.
Throughout Falling Petal Mountain, countless peach blossoms withered, their fallen petals filling the skies and dancing through the air.
Terror filled the hearts of both Ye Yunlan and the other Ye Family experts.
It was indistinct, but they could dimly discern a tall, stalwart figure emanating the aura of the Imperial Realm. It fused into Ye Xiao’s boundless saber qi as he furiously attacked.
There was simply no describing how terrifying this slash was. It seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth and collapsing the entire landscape.
“It really is too late…” Su Yi whispered to himself as he took action.
Clang!
The humming of a sword swept forth like the tide.
Abstruse Celestial appeared in his right hand. As Su Yi’s figure flashed through the air, a streak of sword qi swept forth.
Time seemed to stop.
The landscape was a painting, and a perfectly-straight tear stretched across the canvas.
As the tear extended, it reached Ye Xiao’s saber qi, the hilt of his sword, and his chest.
Su Yi now stood one hundred feet behind Ye Xiao.
Abstruse Celestial shone with a hint of bright red, bloody light.
Then—
The “canvas” of heaven and earth split, rumbled, and boomed, as if about to collapse.
Ye Xiao’s saber qi fell apart and scattered, inch by inch.
And his weapon, Divine Hatred, wailed and flew from his grip.
Ye Xiao’s body split in two at his chest, blood gushing like a waterfall.
One slash, and heaven, earth, and man split in two, like objects in a painting!
