FIRST IMMORTAL OF THE SWORD

Chapter 1268 - Come On, Let’s Keep Going!



Chapter 1268 - Come On, Let’s Keep Going!

Heaven and earth were silent. The landscape was devastated, seemingly laid to ruin.

Su Yi stood there in the distance, jug of wine in hand, as he sank into thought.

Earlier, he had clashed with that sword qi swathed in immortal qi. Its power was truly far too terrifying.

It was more than a World King’s power of the Laws could contend with.

Both the mysteries of reincarnation and the Laws of Profound Ruin struggled to contend with it.

In the end, he had to use the shield manifested of the Dark and Gold Fortune Vine to block that sword qi, but the impact still sent him flying back.

The power of the Immortal Dao is far beyond that of a World King. It’s like the gap between men and the heavens; it’s too great to overcome, Su Yi thought to himself.

But this only made Su Yi even more curious.

If I grasp this immortal-level sword formation, will I be able to perceive the secrets of the Immortal Dao?

It’s a formation, so it surely requires vast reserves of power to circulate. Especially since it’s an immortal-level sword formation; their expenditures are unquestionably shocking.

If I can wear down its energy reserves, I’ll be able to neutralize it with ease!

As Su Yi reached this conclusion, he threw back his head and drained his jug of wine. He’d made a decision.

......

Within the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect, the atmosphere was stifled, oppressive, and bleak.

They’d suffered grievous casualties.

Three steps, and Qing Xiao fell.

Thirteen streaks of sword qi, and the Primordial Unity Divine Sovereign Formation fell in an instant. Twenty-four Heavenly Longevity Realm World Kings and nine Oneness Realm World Kings perished.

And now, Su Yi had fought his way to their gates. Their three Cosmic Enlightenment Realm ancestors attacked as one, but they still couldn’t stop him. Not only that; he’d killed Gu Lingyun!

All of this left the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect incomparably furious. They’d been beaten to a pulp.

What they found even more frustrating was that their opponent didn’t have a single hair out of place. He could leave any time he wanted!

“When has the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect ever suffered such casualties?” Li Xunzhen was furious and practically mad with grief.

Before the battle began, they planned thoroughly, and they made ample preparations. They thought for sure they could prevent the Temple Master from ever leaving.

Who’d have thought reality would be this cruel?

The Temple Master hadn’t lost so much as a hair on his head, yet their territories flowed red with rivers of blood. They’d taken a massive blow to their vitality!

“I wonder what Ancestor Deng Zuo will think when he returns...” Shui Tianhan said bitterly.

Tonight’s battle was far too great a setback. He didn’t know how to explain himself to Deng Zuo.

“Go, bring the hostages. If Su Yi dares leave, we’ll kill them both immediately!” Sect Leader Weng Pu’s face was ashen as he issued these orders.

His heart was full of bitterness. He couldn’t tolerate Su Yi having an opportunity to retreat.

Before long, someone brought Ancestor Yue Hong and Bai He over. Both were still unconscious.

“Sect Leader, you can’t! You absolutely mustn’t!” Xue Changyi suddenly shouted in a quavering voice, “Earlier, Ancestor Gu Lingyun made similar threats, only for the Temple Master to cut her down. You... Whatever you do, don’t let your anger muddle your head!”

Weng Pu’s brow knit, and he said coldly, “I control an immortal sword formation. Do you think I’m afraid of him?”

Li Xunzhen took a deep breath, then said gravely, “Sect Leader, better to proceed with caution and avoid any further threats. The Temple Master can leave as he pleases, but we... can’t possibly spend the rest of our lives turtled up in Primordial Unity Divine Mountain.

Weng Pu’s gaze focused, and he fell silent.

He understood. If they provoked the Temple Master, and he cast all other concerns aside and guarded their gates, who in the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect would dare leave?

Li Xunzhen said with a conflicted look on his face, “And many of our sectmates are spread throughout the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm. Some of our elders and other important members are out exploring other star realms. If the Temple Master seeks revenge... We can’t possibly protect them all.”

Here, he let out a deep sigh.

Their sect was enormous. That was a good thing, but it had its disadvantages too.

It was extremely easy to restrict them like this. If Weng Pu threatened the hostages, why couldn’t the Temple Master use the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect experts located outside the sect to get even?

Shui Tianhan said gravely, “No matter how careful we are, we can’t be on high alert forever. With the Temple Master’s cultivation, if he really decides to seek revenge, it’ll mean a nightmare for the entire Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.”

His voice was full of frustration, as well as deep concern.

Weng Pu was obviously unwilling to accept this. “Don’t tell me we’re just going to let this go?”

Who could possibly just swallow their anger after suffering such grievous losses?

“Of course we aren’t just going to let this go!” Li Xunzhen said with staunch conviction. “All we can do now is ask Ancestor Deng Zuo to come out and oversee the situation.”

Ancestor Deng Zuo!

The crowd’s hearts shook, and they looked at Li Xunzhen in disbelief.

“When Ancestor Deng Zuo left for the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone roughly a decade ago, he left behind a talisman containing a clone,” Li Xunzhen said solemnly. “This was supposed to be a secret. He did this in part to prevent external foes from invading, but more than that, because he feared his true body would meet with disaster in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. Even if his true body falls, his clone will live on. But now... We have no choice but to ask him to make an appearance!”

The crowd’s spirits soared. All of them were excited.

Suddenly, Shui Tianhan said in disbelief, “Everyone, the Temple Master... hasn’t left!”

One sentence, and everyone was stunned. It was only then that they noticed that the Temple Master was sauntering toward them from afar, his blue robes billowing around him.

He hadn’t simply not run away. No, he was coming after them of his own accord!

This was completely beyond their expectations.

“He... don’t tell me he plans to destroy the formation?” someone murmured. They truly couldn’t wrap their head around it. Given the circumstances, where is the Temple Master’s confidence coming from?

Isn’t he afraid the immortal sword formation will kill him?

“Since he’s seeking death, let’s give him what he wants!” Weng Pu seethed with murderous intent.

Boom!

The immortal sword formation rumbled and boomed, preparing itself for battle.

This time, Weng Pu was more cautious. He was in no rush to attack.

He was curious to see if the Temple Master really dared get any closer after throwing himself into the net.

Everyone else readied themselves for battle.

Su Yi’s relentlessly approaching figure was now the center of attention for the entire Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.

What courage! I’m afraid that throughout the stars, no one else can compare. A’Cai sighed to herself.

And here she’d thought that in the face of the threat of the immortal sword formation represented, Su Yi would cut his losses, take advantage of his advantageous position to discuss terms, and negotiate the return of the two hostages.

But for some reason, Su Yi didn’t do that. Instead, he attacked once more!

This was completely outside of their expectations.

“He might be just the reincarnation of the Temple Master, but no matter what, his courage is far beyond other cultivators.” Li Xunzhen said with a complicated look on his face.

It was a mix of hatred, dread, and a nigh-imperceptible hint of admiration.

From beginning to end, the Temple Master was completely forthright. He disdained resorting to any schemes or tricks. His heart was honest and open, just like his Dao of the Sword, his bearing, and his conduct!

The others fell silent.

Throughout the star realms, everyone knew this was how the Temple Master conducted himself. He was noble and forthright; even those who viewed him with enmity wouldn’t slander his character.

“If we don’t destroy him, an enemy like this will leave us unable to eat or sleep in peace!” Weng Pu said gravely.

As they conversed, Su Yi was already within ten thousand feet of their gates!

Weng Pu no longer hesitated. He raised his right hand into the air.

Boom!

The immortal sword formation had long since started accumulating power. It now rumbled and boomed as a radiant sword right shot forth, whooshing through the air swathed in immortal light.

The ground trembled, and the skies collapsed. The terrifying power of the Immortal Dao enveloped heaven and earth once more.

Su Yi didn’t block it head-on. Instead, he dodged, so quick that it seemed as if he were teleporting.

Boom!

Heaven and earth seemed to collapse, but Su Yi wasn’t damaged in the slightest. He seemed incomparably composed.

Furthermore, he was continuing toward Primordial Unity Divine Mountain.

Weng Pu’s expression darkened. He directed the sword formation, firing thousands of streaks of sword qi at once. They blanketed heaven and earth in all directions.

Unless Su Yi retreated explosively back, there would be no avoiding them.

But he didn’t retreat.

Clang!

The Dark and Gold Fortune Sword hummed, and a wisp of a strange aura wrapped around its edge as Su Yi charged.

Immortal sword qi descended, radiant as the misty light of dawn.

But as the Dark and Gold Fortune Vine swept through the air, the immortal sword qi collapsed, filling the air with appalling destructive power.

This time, Su Yi staggered several steps back, and his eyebrows rose.

He’d put a trace of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ aura into that attack! He wouldn’t have thought the immortal sword qi would still manage to shake him.

Meanwhile, the entire Primordial Unity Daoist Sect was overcome with astonishment!

“He... blocked it!?” Shui Tianhan cried out, his scalp going numb.

That fierce streak of immortal sword qi could have destroyed a Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World King with ease.

Yet now, it broke!

“How is this possible...?” Li Xunzhen gasped, visibly astonished.

“Break!” Weng Pu’s face was icy. Without any wasted words, he circulated the immortal sword formation to its maximum strength, attacking Su Yi like mad.

He no longer held back in the slightest.

Boom!

Heaven and earth overturned. The entire landscape was thrown into upheaval.

Unstoppable immortal light ran rampant. Sword qi pulled poured down like a waterfall. Both heaven and earth brimmed with radiant immortal light.

Su Yi was instantly enveloped in boundless sword qi.

Not even Weng Pu, the one controlling the immortal sword formation, could see any trace of Su Yi, let alone the others.

“Is he dead?”

“He’s... most likely dead.”

“Ancestor Deng Zuo said that when the immortal sword formation activates at full strength, even someone on his level has to avoid its power. Not even they would dare clash with it head-on.

“But the Temple Master’s reincarnation was just enveloped in its power, and he had no chance to flee. It definitely destroyed him!”

“Does that mean we won? We killed the Temple Master?” The sound of conversation filled the air. The entire Primordial Unity Daoist Sect was in uproar.

Moments later.

The clouds and smoke dispersed, and the misty light receded.

But then, an unbelievable scene unfolded before their very eyes.

Heaven and earth were a vision of devastation.

A tall, upright figure stood alone in the center of it all. His blue robes were tattered, and his long hair was originally tied into a topknot, but it had since come undone. His loose hair billowed in the wind.

His entire body emanated wisps of an aura as deep and inscrutable as an abyss.

His sword quivered and hummed in his grip.

This was none other than Su Yi! f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

He stood there, like a solitary mountain connecting heaven and earth, unmovable despite throughout the ages!

“This...” Li Xunzhen was completely out of sorts.

Shui Tianhan’s hands and feet quivered. He felt as if he’d plunged into an icy abyss.

Weng Pu froze, dazed, at a loss for words.

“So, this... was the true source of his confidence...” A’Cai murmured in a daze.

In that moment, the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect fell deathly silent. Even the birds ceased their song. It was as if they’d witnessed an impossible miracle.

Meanwhile, Su Yi brushed off his clothes and looked at the distant mountain gates.

Beneath the light of the heavens, his handsome face looked a bit pale, but his gaze was utterly proud and contemptuous.

“Even if gods and immortals really exist, they too must avert their gazes before me, let alone a formation...” he muttered softly to himself.

Su Yi’s right hand held his sword aloft, while his left hand hooked the air. “Come on, let’s keep going!”
