Chapter 1353 - Cutting Down a Throng of Enemies to Sharpen His Sword
The Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha couldn’t help but get a bit impatient.
This was the thirty-ninth time Illuminating Emptiness had asked this question since Su Yi left at dawn!
“Do you really have so little confidence in ‘your bro the Temple Master?’” the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha said irritably.
Illuminating Emptiness said, “It’s hard to stay calm when you care about someone. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t ask even if the Buddha himself descended into this world.”
The corners of the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha’s lips twitched. He longed to take out a punishment ruler and teach the monk a lesson.
Sword Immortal Qingshi was listening from the sidelines, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “Your sincerity is rare and precious. Judging by the time, the battle at the Violet Heavens Platform has already begun. There’s no harm in telling Illuminating Emptiness now.”
Illuminating Emptiness pricked up his ears. “Please enlighten me, Senior.”
“Shortly after the Tailor’s clone left, Fellow Daoist Su proved his Dao and entered Cosmic Enlightenment,” said Sword Immortal Qingshi.
As he said this, he couldn’t help but look a bit dazed. The way in which Su Yi had proved his Dao was just too unbelievable.
Illuminating Emptiness jumped to his feet. “What? He reached Cosmic Enlightenment? Why didn’t I sense anything?”
“It happened after midnight,” said Sword Immortal Qingshi. “You were fast asleep. You naturally didn’t realize that Fellow Daoist Su was undergoing his Tribulation of Cosmic Enlightenment.”
“No way!” said Illuminating Emptiness. “How could I have slept through the rumbling and booming of tribulation lightning?”
Sword Immortal Qingshi sighed. “Because that tribulation seemed impressive at first, only for Fellow Daoist Su to cut through it in a single slash. It was over in the blink of an eye. How could a heavy sleeper like you possibly have sensed it?”
Illuminating Emptiness was dazed. A single slash? Has my bro really gotten this fierce?
Out loud, he said, “Why didn’t you tell me? Rather, why was I the only one kept in the dark?”
The Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha said irritably, “With that big mouth of yours? If we’d told you, the whole world would know by now.”
“......”
......
Beneath the dome of heaven.
Su Yi’s blue robes fluttered around him. He no longer repressed his cultivation base.
Within his tall, upright figure, a sound reminiscent of thunder rumbled and boomed. Overflowing waves of the power of the Grand Dao coursed audibly through him.
This was the power of the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm!
Cosmic Enlightenment meant grasping the source of the Dao and the immeasurable mysteries of space. In Cosmic Enlightenment, one created a World of the Grand Dao within them, like the coarse outline of the chaos forming a new world!
This was where the title “World King” came from.
Upon stepping into this realm, the Grand Dao Furnace was replaced with the coarse outline of a new world. The power of the Grand Dao transformed into moons, suns, stars, and all facets of creation...
Every movement and every gesture contained the force of a whole world!
And Su Yi’s Cosmic Enlightenment Realm foundations were terrifying beyond imagination. The world he’d condensed was immeasurably vast, glittering and resplendent, seemingly without boundary.
It was far, far beyond what the Temple Master had achieved at the peak of Cosmic Enlightenment!
He’d spent all of the days leading up to this battle nourishing his spirit or tempering and solidifying his Cosmic Enlightenment Realm foundations at Universal Emptiness Temple.
He’d discussed the Dao and sparred with Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha too.
In the end, both top powerhouses of the End of the Dharma reached a unanimous conclusion: upon reaching Cosmic Enlightenment, Su Yi had the heaven-defying strength needed to fight the greatest of early-stage Dao Integration Transcendents!
In his duel with the Fisherman and the others, it was only at the very end that Su Yi drew upon the tiniest hint of his Cosmic Enlightenment Realm power. With it, he effortlessly defeated his foes.
It was just as Su Yi had said to the Fisherman before his death. He’d come here to kill to his heart’s content.
And his Cosmic Enlightenment Realm cultivation was the source of his confidence!
Murderous intent rose and fell in waves. Heaven and earth dimmed.
“Get him!”
Over a hundred Transcendents of different camps joined forces and launched a joint attack.
Boom!
Divine radiance rose, and treasure light soared into the firmament.
One Transcendent-level secret treasure after another whooshed into the air, their radiance stinging the eyes. All types of unparalleled secret arts rumbled and boomed, filling the air with currents of destructive power.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth seemed as if it were on the verge of collapse, unable to bear this level of power.
The Dao Integration Realm revenants were particularly terrifying, and their killer moves far surpassed those of the other combatants.
But even in the face of this joint attack, Su Yi did not take a single step back. Instead, he charged right into the fray.
Clang!
The Sword of the Human Realm let out a clear hum, then rose into the air. Its unadorned, deep blue blade was like the most dazzling of lights, illuminating the mountains and rivers.
And when Su Yi’s slash descended, all of creation seemed to split. Space itself quivered.
A streak of sword qi fully ten thousand feet long and swathed in the mysteries of reincarnation descended upon the realm as if intent on splitting it open!
Boom!
When the power of this strike clashed with the hundred-plus Transcendents’ joint attack, it was like a vision of the apocalypse. Everything within eighty thousand feet sank collapsed as unstoppable firelight and waves of destruction swept outward.
All of heaven and earth were now a boundless field of white light.
Countless secret arts broke beneath that single slash, and countless Transcendent treasures were sent flying.
And when that slash imbued with the power of reincarnation swept outward, it dealt unimaginably devastating damage to the nearby revenants.
“No——!”
A terrified shriek rang out.
The Nascent Divinity revenants at the front of the pack didn’t even have time to dodge before the power of reincarnation instantaneously annihilated them, wiping them from the face of the earth.
But in the end, the power of that strike failed to break through the hundred-plus Transcendents’ joint attack. Before long, it had been neutralized completely.
As terrifying waves of power swept outward, Su Yi suffered the impact. He staggered several steps back in midair.
His blood and qi churned violently.
“It seems my early-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm cultivation is still a bit weak.” Su Yi furrowed his brow.
Meanwhile, off in the distance, when the Transcendents saw Su Yi block this blow, they seemed unable to bear the shock. They couldn’t believe it.
After all, their ranks included almost twenty Dao Integration revenants! They and the other Transcendents had all attacked together. An attack like that should have been enough to slay any Dao Integration expert in existence.
Yet now, Su Yi, a Cosmic Enlightenment World King, had blocked their attack in a direct confrontation!
Even though Su Yi had been forced back, and even though he looked a bit wretched, he’d still blocked it in the end!
“Even in the most dazzling period of the ancient era, could anyone have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him? I’m afraid you couldn’t have found anyone even amongst descendants of immortals!” someone said in a quavering voice. They found it unbelievable.
After stepping into Cosmic Enlightenment, Su Yi seemed completely different. It was completely impossible to judge him by his cultivation base. He was strong enough to make one’s heart quiver!
“No, it’s his power over reincarnation that’s terrifying. It’s a natural counter for us. That’s why one strike was enough to send several of our fellows to the grave,” Lu Changting said with an unsightly look on his face.
“If we don’t get rid of him, the world will know no peace. Who could possibly eat or sleep in peace with him around? Kill him!”
As the grand battle raged and the Transcendents grasped Su Yi’s terrifying strength, all of them, regardless of faction of origin, felt a strong sense of impending crisis. They no longer dared hold back. All of them attacked in full force.
Boom!
Heaven and earth overturned, and everything around them crumbled and broke.
Su Yi never once retreated, but he no longer tried to block head-on, either.
That first strike was just intended to gauge how strong he’d become, that’s all. If he continued clashing with these hundred-plus Transcendents head-on, he might well win, but he’d be certain to pay a grievous price.
Whoosh!
He shot forth like a beam of flowing light, dodging lethal attacks and forcing back the treasures intended to intercept him. Soon, he’d charged right into his enemies’ midst.
“Die!”
The Sword of the Human Realm swept forth, as if cleaving though rotten wood. The Nascent Divinity revenants blocking his path perished on the spot.
Clang!!
A violent impact rang out, and a silver painted halberd blocked Su Yi’s offensive.
It was the middle-aged man in black from the Hidden Skies Daoist Sect. He had Dao Integration Realm power.
In the earlier chaotic battle, Su Yi had witnessed his terrifying strength. In life, he had unquestionably been a peak expert.
Alas, with Su Yi\'s strength now, his attempts at interception weren’t even worth looking at.
He shot ahead, and the Sword of the Human Realm raised a sword curtain that towered like a mountain. It was seemingly manifested out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The painted halberd broke, and the middle-aged man in black was forced backward.
Su Yi seized this opening to lower the sword curtain and attack another group of enemies.
All were Nascent Divinity Transcendents. They originally hailed from different camps.
In the face of the power of reincarnation, Nascent Divinity Revenants weren’t even worth looking at. They couldn’t threaten Su Yi in the slightest.
After all, back when he was still in the Oneness Realm, he could kill opponents like this with ease without even drawing on the power of reincarnation. They were even less threatening now!
“Suppress!” Up ahead, a higher-up of the Xu Family let out an explosive bellow as he directed a seal at Su Yi.
Su Yi didn’t even look at it. He flicked his sword, and the seal split into pieces. And when the sharp edge of his sword fell, that expert of the ancient Xu Family was split in two down the midline!
Admittedly, the power of reincarnation couldn’t counter the new Transcendents of the present day.
But if experts as mighty as the Fisherman and the Painter weren’t a match for Su Yi, how could the other new Transcendents stop him?
Su Yi suddenly seemed like an unstoppable sharp knife stabbing into the enemies’ ranks. Everywhere he went, he carved out a path of blood!
Nothing could stand in his way!
Agonized cries and terrified screams rose and fell in waves. Magic treasures exploded, secret arts collapsed, and severed limbs flew through the air, then fell from the turbulent skies like rain.
The stench and dense red hue of blood stained the battlefield, then spread outward.
It was far too brutal!
These Transcendents had, of late, represented the peak of combat strength in this new era. Their arrival had shaken the stars, causing an enormous commotion. Trillions of cultivators viewed them with awe and dread.
Pick any one of them at random, and you’d have someone capable of forcing any other World King to lower their head!
Yet now, even though they’d joined forces, these Transcendents still couldn’t stop Su Yi! On the contrary, they were continuously piling up casualties!
It was like a bloody vision of purgatory. If word spread, it was certain to cause a widespread commotion. No, the masses wouldn’t even be able to believe it.
Meanwhile, Su Yi felt incomparably satisfied.
He had a proud, aloof, unrestrained disposition. He wasn’t a bloodthirsty sort, but he’d been treated as prey all this time, and his foes had him thoroughly surrounded. He’d long since suppressed a bellyful of fire.
Now, he could finally vent it.
His heart was full of grievances. Now, it was time to use his enemies to sharpen his sword!
He wouldn’t stop killing until he was satisfied!
