FIRST IMMORTAL OF THE SWORD

Chapter 1386 - Autumn in the Human Realm, Frost Descends from the Heavens



Chapter 1386 - Autumn in the Human Realm, Frost Descends from the Heavens

Boom!

The black-robed man’s palm imprint descending, bearing through the skies as if cleaving open heaven and earth. Everything collapsed around his hand.

All the crowd could see was a streak of radiant light.

There was no describing the power of that impact. It was as if the apocalypse had descended, enveloping the stretch of sky around Su Yi completely.

Quite some time passed before the light filling the sky gradually dimmed and the raging waves of energy calmed.

“Is it over?” The crowd’s hearts shook. That utterly destructive collision would have severely injured or killed even a true Cloud Soaring Transcendent. How could Su Yi have survived?

“That immortal’s will has dissipated...”

Someone noticed that the black-robed man’s avatar of will had completely collapsed and disappeared into nothingness after unleashing that final strike.

“It’s a pity. This battle cost me numerous allies. Still, killing Su Yi was worth it! Once I’ve gathered his remains, I’ll be able to extract the secrets of reincarnation!” Hong Feiyu said with a hideous laugh.

But the words had only just left his lips when his smile froze in place and his eyes widened as if he’d seen a ghost.

A hundred thousand feet off the ground, a man stood amongst the clouds. A bronze furnace hovered above his head, and resplendent purple light poured down, enshrouding and protecting him.

Even though his body was covered in wounds and his clothes were in tatters, he stood perfectly upright, like an eternal god or deity gazing down at the human realm!

The moment they laid eyes on him, everything fell silent, and everyone froze in place like a statue.

When heaven and earth crumbled, everything was destroyed. Everything but him!

He was actually still alive!

His long black hair fluttered around him, and he stood upright, hands behind his back. His tall, upright figure was covered in blood, and his gaze was proud and contemptuous. His presence hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Everyone watched him in astonishment, not daring to believe it.

An immortal’s avatar of will had struck with all his might. His terrifying strength could have instantaneously eradicated any Cloud Soaring revenant present.

But Su Yi had nonetheless survived!

“This...” The onlookers quivered from head to toe, as if they’d just witnessed a miracle.

“He’s still alive! Ahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!” Sword Immortal Qingshi was so excited that he couldn’t help but lose his composure. His companions reacted in much the same way. All of them looked dazed, and their hearts filled with emotion.

“How could he possibly have survived that!?” Onboard the Spirit Firmament Immortal Vessel, Hong Feiyu’s face was ashen. He felt as if he were on the verge of breaking down.

How could an immortal’s will have failed to kill a Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World King?

“How could I die before killing you?” Su Yi’s bloodstained robes billowed around him, and his eyes glinted with cold light.

He put away the Divine Replenishment Furnace. Resplendent light burst around him as he leaped into the fray, swinging the Sword of the Human Realm at the Spirit Firmament Immortal Vessel.

Even badly injured, Su Yi’s aura didn’t weaken. On the contrary, it grew as his blood-red will to fight caught ablaze. It soared into the air, and even the dome of heaven caught on fire.

How domineering was Hong Feiyu? Nonetheless, he found himself on the brink of despair. He dared not continue this battle. Having completely lost the will to fight, he fled like a dog that had lost its master.

“Die!” Su Yi took a step forward in midair, the dim light of reincarnation tinged red by his sword intent. He was a deity emerging from the cycle of samsara. Nothing could stand in his way.

Boom!

When he pointed his sword, the skies exploded, and the Spirit Firmament Immortal Vessel plummeted down to earth.

Several Cloud Soaring Realm powerhouses fled just in time to escape this slash, but their will to fight had already broken. They shrieked, “We admit defeat! We admit defeat!”

“Fellow Daoist Su, please, show mercy!”

“No——!”

Their desperate cries filled the air, but Su Yi paid them no heed. He swung his sword and attacked, killing the Cloud Soaring experts one by one.

On board the fallen Spirit Firmament Immortal Vesel, Hong Feiyu’s hair was disheveled, and terror and dread were written all over his face. “Su Yi! If I die, the Hong Family absolutely won’t let you off!”

He shrieked, “An immortal avatar of will couldn’t kill you, but what about a true immortal? How could you defend against that?”

Boom!

A streak of sword qi descended, leaving a huge gash on the surface of the Spirit Firmament Immortal Vessel.

Hong Feiyu was badly injured. His entire body was covered in blood, and he looked incomparably wretched.

He shrieked in despair, “Su Yi, I can swear on my Dao Heart never to oppose you again! And I came compensate your losses ten, no, a hundred times over—”

Boom!

Another slash of sword qi tore into the ship. Numerous cracks appeared on its hull, and its markings of the Immortal Dao crumbled.

Hong Feiyu panicked and roared in fury. “Why must you kill us all!?”

By now, Su Yi had already reached the immortal vessel. He raised and swung his sword.

Splurt!

Hong Feiyu perished on the spot, the power of reincarnation destroying his body completely. All that remained of him was his final, bitter roar still echoing throughout heaven and earth.

Su Yi sneered. “Childish.”

Now, Hong Feiyu and the twenty-plus Cloud Soaring experts under his leadership had all fallen in battle. Not one had survived!

Heaven and earth were deathly silent. The surrounding landscape lay in ruin, a startling vision of devastation. The ground was riddled with holes.

Everyone stood there in a daze. A long time passed before they came back to their senses.

Su Yi had won!

He’d single-handedly slain all of his enemies!

During this battle, he had suppressed a Blue Astral Immortal Flood Dragon and fended off the full-force attack of an immortal’s remnant will without falling!

There were no words to describe the crowd’s astonishment.

It was as if a miracle had unfolded before their very eyes. No words would have been enough.

......

Hah~

Su Yi let out a long breath of turbid air as he put away the Sword of the Human Realm.

He then took out a jug of wine, threw back his head, and drank with relish.

All eyes were upon this young man in bloodstained blue robes. The crowd’s gazes were full of astonishment, bewilderment, and deep-seated awe.

As Transcendent revenants of ancient orthodoxies, they didn’t take the cultivators of the present day at all seriously.

But Su Yi had repeatedly challenged their preconceptions and overturned their imaginations.

By now, even the Cloud Soaring Realm experts’ hearts quivered with astonishment and fright. Su Yi’s terrifying strength shook them to the core!

How could someone like this exist? He was only in the late-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm, but he controlled the mysteries of reincarnation and possessed heaven-defying combat strength and an unparalleled magnificent bearing.

Sword in hand, nothing could stand in his way!

Even in ancient times, they could have searched every star realm without finding anyone capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him!

“Everyone, I’ll have to ask you to leave,” said Sword Immortal Qingshi, breaking the deathly silence.

The crowd reacted as if awakening from a dream, their hearts coursing with emotion. Many of them dared not linger, and they left in a hurry.

They could already foresee that when word of this battle spread, a massive storm would sweep through the stars.

How would the Hong Family respond to this? And how would the factions behind the fallen Cloud Soaring revenants react?

No one knew for certain.

But there were also numerous people who never left. They appeared conflicted and hesitant.

Finally, an older-generation cultivator seemed to rally his courage. He stammered, “Fellow Daoist Su, might we still receive your aid?”

Whoosh!

Those present who’d yet to have their curses broken all looked at Su Yi.

Sword Immortal Qingshi, the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha, and the others’ expressions turned a bit unsightly. They’re still hung up on that at a time like this? Can’t they see that Fellow Daoist Su has only just overcome a bitter struggle and that he’s covered in wounds?

But Su Yi laughed, not at all concerned. “I promised to help you, and I’m a man of my work. Come again in three days.”

“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Su!”

“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Su!”

The remaining Transcendent revenants all looked delighted. They practically wept tears of gratitude.

Before long, all of them had left in a hurry. Some of them went so far as to leave behind recovery medicines as an expression of their thanks.

“Fellow Daoist Su, what should we do with him?” The Wood Spirit Monarch approached holding someone aloft.

This was none other than Zhong Wanli of the Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao!

He’d come here alongside Hong Feiyu and his allies, going so far as to proclaim that the Zhong Family had established an alliance with Hong Feiyu. This was an attempt to threaten Su Yi and take him down a peg.

Zhong Wanli was only in the early-stage Nascent Divinity Realm. Among experts of the present day, he was about as strong as it got.

But in the battle just now, someone of his level wasn’t even worth looking at. Thus, he’d hidden and watched from a safe distance the entire time.

“This guy is both extremely crafty and completely spineless. Shortly before Hong Feiyu and the others’ defeat, he hid himself amongst the crowd and tried to slink off. I caught him just in time,” the Wood Spirit Monarch said disdainfully.

Zhong Wanli quivered from head to toe, so frightened that the blood had completely drained from his face. He looked helpless and on the brink of despair.

When he sensed Su Yi’s gaze, he shuddered from head to toe and stammered, “Your Excellency the Temple Master, I...”

Su Yi waved for silence “You needn’t beg for mercy. I won’t kill you.”

Zhong Wanli was stunned. He almost dared not believe his ears.

Su Yi said softly, “During the battle at the Violet Heavens Platform, I promised Zhong Tianquan that I’d eradicate the Zhong Family within half a year. Go back and tell your clansmen that once I’ve recovered, I’ll be sure to pay you a visit.”

Boom!

Zhong Wanli reacted as if he’d been struck by lightning. His face went ashen.

Admittedly, Su Yi had just agreed to let him go, but in the end, his entire clan faced the threat of complete annihilation!

“Hurry up and scram.” The Wood Spirit Monarch grabbed Zhong Wanli and flung him away.

Thud!

Zhong Wanli hit the ground and rolled for several seconds before crawling to his feet, his face smeared with dirt. He said despondently, “Your Excellency, if we’re willing to lower our heads and submit, might we receive a second chance at life?”

Su Yi smiled faintly. “I seem to recall that the Zhong Family has the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower behind it. They say they were one of the four greatest sects of sword cultivators of the ancient area. This time, you've formed an alliance with the Immortal Realm’s Hong Family. Now you want to submit to me, too?”

The Yellow Sword Demon jeered, “You’ve already become other people’s dogs. Now you want to become disloyal dogs of three different masters on top of all that?”

The crowd couldn’t help but laugh. Disloyal dogs of three different masters!

What biting words!

“What time of year is it?” Su Yi suddenly asked.

“The time of the first autumn frosts,” said Sword Immortal Qingshi. “The middle of fall.”

Su Yi nodded. “Fitting.”

With that, he put his hands behind his back and returned to Mount Clearmoon.

Sword Immortal Qingshi, the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha, and the others hurried after him.

On this day, Su Yi fought before Mount Clearmoon, cutting down a descendant of immortals, Hong Feiyu, and twenty-one Cloud Soaring Realm powerhouses. He subdued an Astral Blue Immortal Flood Dragon, and endured the full-force attack of an immortal’s remnant will!

When word spread throughout the stars, everyone was astonished, shaken, and afraid!
