Chapter 761: So That’s All You’ve Got
The impassioned hum of a sword startled the nine heavens.
The blade as ethereal as the night sky burst with limitless nirvanic light, illuminating heaven and earth.
With his sword in hand, Su Yi seemed to the distant onlookers much like a deity holding the sun aloft.
Boom!
Sword in front of him, Su Yi charged into battle. He moved like flowing light and struck like lightning, the profundities of the Rejoicing Sword Sutra fully displayed in his sword force. He was free and unrestrained, utterly at ease, with an unfettered, graceful bearing.
Whoosh!
The sword light descended like nirvanic flames from the heavens, and the swarm of corpse puppets exploded, incinerated into nothingness.
A sword to pull galaxies, overturning heaven and earth and shaking this mortal coil!
This?sword qi was?full of the profundities of the Great Illumination Nirvanic Sword, one of the Little Western Paradise’s loftiest inheritances of the Dao of the Sword.
Its power could incinerate all wicked creatures and purify all that was corrupted and dirty.
It specialized in countering things like the corpse puppets’ potent corpse poison!
Boom!
The entire Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation shook.
Neither the corpse puppets nor the thousand-foot heavenly demons were intelligent. They were under the control of the formation, and they naturally had no fear of death. They charged at Su Yi in a mad frenzy.
But Su Yi naturally wouldn’t waste any more time with them.
Sword qi shot forth, interweaving in midair. Sword qi swathed in nirvanic flames cut down the swarm of corpse puppets and incinerated them into nothingness.
Circles of sword shadows formed of Buddhist light revolved around Su Yi. Every ripple was like a golden lotus platform, and each platform had an illusory Buddha seated on its surface.
The chanting of sutras and praising the Buddha… accompanied by limitlessly radiant nirvanic sword qi. These powers?interwove, forming an immeasurably powerful, immeasurably holy scene.
Wherever Su Yi went, he was like an axe through bamboo. Nothing could stand in his way!
This scene threw the distant onlookers into uproar. All of them were stunned.
“I just knew Banished Immortal Su couldn’t possibly fall so easily!” Someone cried out in excitement.
“It really is unbelievable. How terrifying is that killing formation? Were he anyone else, I’m afraid he’d have been killed a long time ago, yet he’s still holding on, and fighting back, too!”
Some people were so stunned that their jaws hung slack.
“Before victory and defeat are determined, the outcome remains uncertain. Let’s just keep watching,” muttered some of the older-generation experts.
All of them could tell that this grand battle, the center of the nation’s attention, was sure to be full of twists and turns!
“What a wondrous Buddhist legacy! Clarifying Truth, can you tell what kind of power the boy is using?”
Atop Starpluck Mountain, the Spiritual Revolution experts frowned, their eyes flashing.
The strength of Su Yi’s abilities surpassed their expectations once more.
Chief Elder Clarifying Origins of the Pure Emptiness Buddhist Sect was obviously stunned too. His expression flickered with uncertainty as he said in a daze, “Such a Buddhist legacy must be a true scripture of the Grand Dao. I’m afraid such legacies only exist in the Prajna Meditation Garden.”
This withered old monk had extreme seniority within his sect, but unusually, he’d lost his composure. It seemed he couldn’t imagine where Su Yi had inherited such a Buddhist Legacy.
The Prajna Meditation Garden!
When they heard this name, the other experts’ brows furrowed deeper than ever.
Thirty thousand years ago, the Prajna Meditation Garden was the world’s greatest Buddhist holy land. However, this ancient temple had disappeared thirty thousand years ago, during the onset of the Prohibition of Ancient Darkness.
Furthermore, none of them believed that Su Yi was a Buddhist cultivator!
Boom——!
The Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation swayed violently and rumbled like thunder.
Beneath the crowd’s astonished gazes, Su Yi stood surrounded on all sides by countless corpse puppets and heavenly demons, alone save for his sword, carving a path in blood!
His entire body shone with nirvanic fire and flashing sword light, seemingly so holy that they couldn’t look directly at him.
Huan Tiandu and the other top experts’ expressions darkened.
Even this wasn’t enough to kill Su Yi. Of course they were surprised! Of course they were angry! How could they not be?
When Su Yi was just about to kill his way through the encirclement——
“Quick! Activate the Nine Extremes World-Suppressing Formation!” Huan Tiandu bellowed, his hair and beard bristling with anger.
The seven allied factions had prepared all manner of methods to exterminate Su Yi, but they hadn’t anticipated that he’d be?this strong!
The experts looked at each other, then went all out, gnashing their teeth as they leaped into action.
Boom!
Sixty-three Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators attacked as one, and the nine formations blanketing all of Starpluck Mountain circulated with a boom.
The nine formations each transformed into a several hundred-foot?Daoist?altar covered in talisman markings and shrouded in misty light.
And the hundred-plus Spiritual Incarnation Experts distributed throughout the mountain soared into the air and arrived upon each of the nine giant altars.
There were between nine and twelve cultivators standing on each altar.
Then, all nine altars descended upon the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation, like divine mountains descending from the heavens!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Daoist incantations shook the world, and heaven and earth were plunged into darkness.
When the nine massive altars appeared, the power of the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation suddenly soared to new heights.
Each altar was shrouded in a light curtain manifested of the formation’s power, and the Spiritual Incarnation cultivators standing upon them all attacked at once. They used the power of the Nine Extremes World-Suppressing Formation to attack Su Yi.
Su Yi was already surrounded, but now, they’d surrounded him yet again, making his predicament who-knew-how-many-times more perilous than before!
This development sent chills coursing through the distant onlookers. All of them were struck dumb.
Only then did they understand on a visceral level how terrifying these great factions were. Their setup on Starpluck Mountain alone was enough to make one give in to despair.
“If this isn’t enough to kill that wretch, we’ll really have to risk it all…” muttered Huo Tiandu.
The first layer of the deathtrap they’d prepared was the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation.
The second layer was the corpse puppets they’d spent this time refining.
The third layer was the Nine Extremes World-Suppressing Formation.
The three layers of the ambush were interlocked and interrelated. They coordinated with each other, forming a comprehensive whole. When they circulated as one, their power was such that, barring the descent of an Emperor, anyone would have faced almost certain doom!
The seven factions had practically emptied their coffers, spending fortunes accumulated over countless years to make them. Any heavenly materials and earthly treasures they had in reserve, they threw into the three-layer ambush.
The price they’d paid wasn’t at all insignificant.
But so long as they could kill Su Yi, it would be worth it!
“Don’t get negligent. Sweep in and kill him in one fell swoop!” Lie Yangchong of Tianji Dao Mountain was seething with murderous intent.
But in reality, even as they conversed, none of the sixty-three Spiritual Revolution experts circulating the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation were holding back.
Meanwhile, within the bounds of the grand formation——
Su Yi took all the danger in, only to laugh.
“Have you revealed all your cards? So it seems… this is all you’ve got…”
He flicked Abstruse Celestial, circulating his cultivation base to the full extent of its power.
Boom!
Indomitable sword intent rose from his upright figure, soaring into the heavens and shaking the starry skies.
It contained both his fully-mastered Genesis Dao Intent, as well as the Dao Intents of the Supreme Palace and Void Cosmos, two rare and supreme Mysterious Truths he’d only just begun to comprehend.
The Supreme Palace was at the center of the North Star,?Ziwei, otherwise known as the Emperor Star. It originated from the profound and rose from the minuscule. It was purple in color, as deep as a night laden with stars, with boundless will, and its spirit was as distant and untainted as the skies!
The appearance of such Mysterious Truths was like purple air from the east. The Emperor Star was the sole source of light, as boundless as smoke, as limitlessly vast as the starry skies themselves.
This was the Dao Intent of the Supreme Palace.
The name Void Cosmos came from the phrase “Obscure as the Void, Sublime as the Cosmos.”
This Dao Intent was the color of the eternal skies, as radiant as daybreak. When used, it was like the heavens bringing a new day. Everything its light touched, its power reached!
Su Yi had only just started comprehending these two supreme Grand Dao Mysterious Truths, but when he unleashed them, Su Yi’s Grand Dao Spirit Incarnation shaped like the Sword of the Nine Hells took on a starkly different charm.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
A swarm of thousand-foot heavenly demons charged, and the blood-red power of the formation swept toward him, blanketing heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
A streak of sword qi flashed into being and silently tore a perfectly-straight rift through the sky.
The charging heavenly demons instantly split into pieces and fell apart, dissipating into runes and drifting down from the sky.
Boom!
Practically simultaneously, one of the nearby giant altars descended upon him. Around ten Spiritual Incarnation cultivators of the Burning Sun Sect stood upon it, manipulating their magic treasures and firing a swath of boundless formation lightning.
This was the power of the Nine Extremes World-Suppressing Formation. It could easily explode and kill even Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators.
Su Yi didn’t even look at it. His wrists shook, and Abstruse Celestial clanged, then swept up.
A sword to pluck moons and suns. The light of the heavens shines in my arms!
Sword intent as serene as the distant skies swept forth, manifested?of Void?Cosmos Dao Intent. The “sky” reflected the sun, moon, purple qi, and stars manifested?of the?Supreme Palace Dao Intent.
One slash, that was all, yet it manifested starry skies and the radiance of the sun and moon. The purple qi of the cosmos spread in all directions. It was a magnificent sight.
But the true source of this attack was Su Yi’s perfected Dao Intent of Genesis!
Boom!!
When this sword qi rose through the air, the massive, blood-colored altars shook violently, bursting with divine radiance and producing an earsplitting blast.
“This is bad!!”
“This…”
Atop the platform, the experts of the Burning Sun Sect paled, and their eyes filled with astonishment.
But Su Yi gave them no time to respond. As his slash descended, it cleaved through the enormous platform they were standing on, which exploded with a bang.
Blood fell like rain.
Miserable shrieks filled the air.
This change left the distant onlookers unwittingly stunned, and their minds went blank. They couldn’t even imagine how terrifying Su Yi’s cultivation base was to turn the tides once more!
It seemed unbelievable; it completely overturned their imaginations.
“Dammit!”
Atop Starpluck Mountain, Zhao Beizhen of the Burning Sun Sect’s face was ashen. He was shaken and alarmed, and he felt as if his heart were dripping blood.
Who’d have thought that despite circulating all three layers at once, they couldn’t suppress Su Yi’s edge?
Who’d have thought that one slash could break through one of the altars, killing more than ten Spiritual Incarnation cultivators of the Burning Sun Sect?
Too tyrannical!
This overbearing scene made Huan Tiandu and the others completely lose their cool. Their expressions changed, and they almost dared not believe their eyes.
From beginning to end, they hadn’t dared underestimate Su Yi in the slightest. Seven mighty factions had joined forces, and they’d put almost every resource they had into creating this three-layered, unrivaled formation!
All of this was to kill Su Yi, a heaven-defying figure who defied the bounds of common sense!
But when they saw this, these prominent experts suddenly realized that although they’d made ample preparations, they’d still underestimated Su Yi’s terrifyingness.
He was simply inhuman!
But no matter what they thought, all of this had still happened. No, it was still happening.
That forceful, tyrannical slash had been a prelude to Su Yi’s comeback!
