Chapter 1143 - You’re On Your Own!
As he spoke, Su Yi relaxed his grip on the man in the crane cloak’s soul.
The man in the crane cloak gasped for breath, both terrified and enraged.
And here he’d thought he was doomed!
“You... you’re sure you want me to call for the others?”
It seemed the man in the crane cloak dared not believe it.
The old glutton bellowed in the distance, “Drop the nonsense. Hurry up and do it!”
He was inwardly delighted. He’d have loved nothing more than to slaughter their entire sect.
Was he worried...? With Old Monster Su here, did he need to worry about anything?
The man in the crane cloak dared not hesitate any longer. He clasped his hands together and formed seals.
He was well aware that his enemies were entirely unafraid, and that they were most likely after something. Even so, if he wanted to live, this was his only chance!
Weng!
The man in the crane cloak formed a mysterious hand seal, which emanated strange energy fluctuations of the Grand Dao.
It soon transformed into an arc of divine light, which shot into the air.
Once all of this was over, the man in the crane cloak seemed noticeably calmer. “Let me take this opportunity to warn you. I came to the Dark and Gold Star Realm with...”
Before he could finish, Su Yi slapped him across the face, almost shattering his soul.
“Kneel there for now.” Su Yi glanced at him.
“Kneel!?” The man in the crane cloak was so angry that his very soul quivered. He was so enraged he could have died.
But when Su Yi raised his hand to slap him again, he endured that feeling of humiliation and knelt.
“No guts or backbone at all. So, this is all the experts of the sects of the starry skies amount to,” sneered the old glutton.
“Those who don’t fear death have always been in the minority,” Su Yi said casually.
He put his hands behind his back, then gazed up into the dome of heaven, where Jing Xing was bravely facing his tribulation. Its boundless light illuminated the entire stretch of heaven and earth with unsettling hues.
Meanwhile——
Countless meteorites hovered in a barren stretch of space.
Deep amongst the meteorites, there hovered a massive spacetime vortex. It swayed violently, scattering a rain of light.
A tunnel carved through time and space!
A group of cultivators stood near the entrance of the vortex, busily building a ritual altar.
“Once the altar is complete, we can fully stabilize the spatial tunnel to the Dark and Gold Star Realm,” an old man in a feather coat said softly. “When the time comes, it’ll only be a two-hour journey from the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect to the Dark and Gold Star Realm!”
He carried a fly whisk and had the air of a Daoist immortal as he watched from a distance.
Yun Xiaosheng.
He was one of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect’s thirty-three elders, a peak Profound Unity Emperor.
He’d yet to become a World King, so he could only serve as an outer sect elder. He was the lead elder of the outer sect.
“This is a great opportunity for us to accumulate merit. After all, a tunnel carved through space and time like this can only let those beneath the World King level pass. Were that not the case, the sect’s World Kings would have come in person already,” laughed a middle-aged man in silver robes.
Huo Shandu.
Just like Yun Xiaosheng, he was an outer sect elder of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.
“You’re right. The Dark and Gold Star Realm has long since fallen to ruin. It’s in pitiful shape, and even its connection to the Path of Heaven’s Ascension has long since been severed. With our cultivations, we’ll be like sovereigns there. We can gaze down upon everyone there with pride!” said a woman in green. She looked reserved, but her words were forceful, with an air of lofty superiority.
Her name was Li Miaoyun, and she was an elder just like Yun Xiaosheng and Huo Shandu.
These three were the leaders of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect’s expedition into the Dark and Gold Star Realm.
“Don’t get complacent. The savages of the Dark and Gold Star Realm might not be worth looking at, but before we came here, the Supreme Leader told us that the Studio of the Heart, the Nine Heavens Pavilion, and the Church of the River of Stars have long since sent their experts to the Dark and Gold Star Realm,” Yun Xiaosheng said coldly. “In other words, if we’re to seek out the secrets of reincarnation and gather Dark and Gold Essence, we’ll inevitably come into conflict with these three factions.”
Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun nodded.
They were all from the depths of outer space. They naturally knew that the three aforementioned factions were in no way weaker than their Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.
As they conversed, they got to work, helping the other Primordial Unity Daoist Sect experts refine the altar.
But it was then that——
Whoosh!
An arc of divine light appeared out of nowhere, transformed into an illusory seal, and hovered in the air.
Yun Xiaosheng grabbed and shattered the seal. A frantic voice instantly cried out: “Elders, hurry up and save me——!”
Yun Xiaosheng’s eyelids twitched. “Something’s happened to Liu Chuan!”
Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun were both quite surprised.
“How is that possible? Liu Chuan has Yun You to protect him, as well as five deacons. In the Dark and Gold Star Realm, they’re invincible. How could they have encountered danger?”
Huo Shandu furrowed his brow.
Liu Chuan was the son of their grand elder, as well as an inner sect legacy disciple. It went without saying that he had an extremely lofty status.
Furthermore, Yun You was accompanying him, and she was one of the grand elder’s servants. She was so strong that she could kill even Imperial Apex Emperors with ease.
Yet now, something had happened to Liu Chuan. Who wouldn’t have been surprised?
Yun Xiaosheng said gravely, “We cannot afford to delay. You two, go have a look. No matter what, bring Liu Chuan back. If something happens to him, we won’t be able to report to the grand elder.”
Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun were instantly solemn. They nodded their assent, then immediately took action.
Yun Xiaosheng watched them leave, a vicious look on his face. This is the Dark and Gold Star Realm, yet someone dared target members of our Primordial Unity Daoist Sect? They’re simply seeking death!
......
Tribulation clouds surged, and thunder rumbled overhead.
Jing Xing was putting everything he had into overcoming his tribulation, while the old glutton sat to the side, focused on tending to his wounds. freewe(b)novel
Su Yi, meanwhile, had already sprawled out lazily in his wicker chair, and he was drinking from a jug of wine. From time to time, he checked on Jing Xing’s progress.
The man in the crane cloak, Liu Chuan, knelt there in silence.
When Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun arrived and saw this, they were both unwittingly stunned. A moment later, their hearts filled with irrepressible murderous intent.
These savages actually destroyed Liu Chuan’s physical body, and they’re forcing his soul origin to kneel!
“Elders!” Liu Chuan cried out in delight, instantly excited.
But when he glanced at Su Yi, his heart clenched, and he said hurriedly, “Elders, you have to be careful!”
Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun nodded. They’d overcome their share of wind and rain, and it was immediately obvious to them that something wasn’t right here.
“Friend, do you plan to use our disciple’s life to threaten us?” Li Miaoyun said coldly, her gaze locking onto Su Yi.
She could tell that there was something wrong with this young man in blue. He seemed far too young!
Furthermore, he had Liu Chuan captive, and they were afraid of hurting him accidentally if they attacked.
“Are you threatening me?” Su Yi rose from his wicker chair and looked down at Liu Chuan. “Tell them why I let you live.”
Liu Chuan’s expression shifted, and he felt deeply humiliated, but he dared not refuse. “Elders, I was captured because.... He said he wants to let me die in peace, so he’s giving me the opportunity to call for as many reinforcements as I want. He said that no matter how many come... he’ll kill them all!”
His head drooped like a defrosting eggplant. He felt incomparably humiliated.
Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun’s expressions were instantly unsightly.
“Young man, do you have any idea who we are?” Huo Shandu said gravely, his expression decidedly unfriendly.
“I do,” Su Yi said softly. “You are two dead people.”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he vanished, reappearing a little over ten feet from Huo Shandu.
Huo Shandu’s pupils constricted, and his entire body burst with divine radiance. His qi rumbled and boomed as he suddenly threw a punch.
The Primordial Unity True Lightning Seal!
As his punch flew through the air, it was as if a divine seal were descending from the heavens. It could overturn mountains, make rivers run in reverse, and kill everyone on all sides.
“A mantis trying to block a chariot.” Su Yi laughed dryly. Then, he too threw a punch.
Bang!!
The air exploded, and destructive power swept outward. Misty light scattered, and Huo Shandu was sent flying back.
His expression changed dramatically, and he couldn’t help but blurt, “How is this possible!?”
Li Miaoyun was stunned too, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Su Yi’s attack was too sudden and domineering. It caught her completely off guard, and she found it difficult to believe.
She couldn't even imagine how a single attack could have forced Elder Huo Shandu back!
“????” And here Liu Chuan had thought he’d been saved. He’d even been excited.
Now, he felt as if he’d taken a blow to the head. He was completely dumbstruck. Not even a peak Profound Unity Emperor... can stop him?
“Old Monster Su really wants to overturn the heavens!” The old glutton’s eyes widened. He could tell that these two new arrivals were even stronger than the experts they’d faced before.
Who’d have thought they’d still seem a bit pathetic against Su Yi?
“Are these all the ‘experts’ your Primordial Unity Daoist Sect can manage?” Su Yi furrowed his brow.
It was just one sentence, but Huo Shandu and Li Miaoyun’s faces were instantly ashen. They looked at each other, then immediately drew their treasures and attacked with everything they had.
Clang!
Huo Shandu waved a war saber. It glittered like immortal gold, illuminating the entire landscape. His momentum was such that the clouds collapsed on all sides.
Li Miaoyun activated a Daoist seal. It was purple and shrouded in lightning. The words “Thunder Charm” were carved on its surface, and when it struck, it smashed a massive hole through heaven and earth. Its power was explosive and tyrannical.
They displayed power no smaller than Shang Tianqi, the Grand Libationer of the Solar Palace of the Church of the River of Stars, and Mo Yu, the Sixth Warden of the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
Alas, in Su Yi’s eyes, such experts were no longer worth looking at.
After all, he’d killed the Sixth Warden back in the early-stage Profound Serenity Realm! Now he was in the late-stage Profound Serenity Realm, just one step from the peak of the realm.
He didn’t even lose to that mysterious spearwoman when they fought at the same cultivation level!
“Die!” Su Yi stepped into the sky, using his fingers as a sword to cleave through Huo Shandu’s saber. His sword qi then continued ahead, its power undiminished, taking Huo Shandu’s head clean off.
Like an axe through bamboo, no different from slaughtering a dog or chicken!
Boom!
Huo Shandu’s corpse and soul exploded into ash.
“Liu Chuan, you’re on your own!!” Li Miaoyun shrieked, so terrified that the blood drained from her face. She turned tail and fled without the slightest hesitation, disregarding Liu Chuan completely.
She was truly scared out of her wits. She’d lived too many years to count, but this was her first time seeing such a terrifying Profound Serenity Realm cultivator.
Had she known Su Yi was this strong, she absolutely would have fled as far as her legs could carry her a long time ago!
But before she’d gotten far, sword qi streaked past her.
Splurt!
It cut Li Miaoyun in two at the waist.
