Chapter 1524 - Origin Trace
Shortly afterward, he furrowed his brow, raised his right hand, formed a hand seal, and said, “Trace!”
Whoosh~
Murky gray rain spread out, like ripples on the surface of a pool. Before long, curtains of light arose on the devastated landscape, each reflecting scenes of the recent past.
As if going back in time.
Scenes of Su Yi’s battle with the three Void Realm True Immortals played out in full detail.
The man in a changshan just stood there, watching carefully. It wasn’t long before he’d picked up on numerous extraordinary hints.
“That arrow struck out of nowhere, yet he managed to block it. That proves that he sensed that there’d be an attempt to intercept him tonight.
“In just seven snaps of the fingers, the battle reached a life-or-death juncture. It seems he realized how dire the situation was, and he used some sort of hidden card right off the bat.
“Whatever it was, it was strong enough to kill Void Realm True Immortals in an instant!
“Furthermore, both his methods and his combat awareness were far beyond those three Void Realm True Immortals. He really is the Reincarnator. Terrifying indeed."
After seeing all this, the man in the Changshan took a step forward and arrived before another scene. This one depicted Su Yi decapitating the massive spearman.
“But just what is his hidden card? How can someone of his cultivation break the barrier between mortal and immortal? How can he kill opponents in a single hit across three major realms?”
The man in the Changshan examined closely, unwilling to let so much as the smallest detail slip past him.
But in the end, he learned nothing at all.
He thought for a while, then sighed softly and murmured, “Very well. Paying a bit of a price will be worth it if I can learn what his hidden card is.”
With that, he bit through the skin of his right pointer finger. A bead of fresh blood dripped out of the wound, which he placed onto the reflected scene.
His lips parted, and he let out a strange incantation.
“Origin Trace!”
As he smeared the blood against the curtain of light, the liquid wriggled, forming strange, mysterious Dao markings.
The man in the Changshan paled, a hint of exhaustion on his brow.
Earlier, he’d used “Trace” to replay scenes of the recent past, Su Yi’s battles with the three Void Realm True Immortals.
Now, when he used Origin Trace, he sought the most fundamental of truths. He was trying to perceive the mysteries hidden within the reflected scenes.
Both methods were taboo. Using them in rapid succession required paying a heavy price.
But he didn’t care. If he could glean the Reincarnator’s secrets, a price like this would mean nothing at all.
But he’d only just thought this when...
Bang!!!
The curtain of light covered by those crimson Dao Marking exploded with a bang.
“Dammit!” The rain of light reflected the man’s face, which shifted in and out of view. “Don’t tell me the power of reincarnation is interfering?”
After a moment’s silence, the man in the Changshan took a talisman from his sleeve. He carved a message into it with his divine sense, then shattered it. “Have everyone attack at once!”
Bang!
The talisman transformed into snow-white flames and shot into the sky.
The man in Changshan had vanished from the battered landscape, and the curtains of light reflecting scenes of the recent battle popped like soap bubbles.
All that remained was emptiness and desolation.
......
Su Yi stood on the cliffside, drinking and waiting.
A wind blew past, rustling his long hair and blue robes.
“They’ll most likely get serious after this. I’m giving you an opportunity, but after tonight, you won’t get another one...” Su Yi muttered to himself.
He was stained by the power of the Angler’s karma, letting Cloud Apparatus Immortal Manor lock onto him.
Earlier, the man in Confucian robes and his companions died at Qi Fufeng’s hands. However, Su Yi had killed those three Void Realm True Immortals himself.
Given the circumstances, Cloud Apparatus Immortal Manor only had two choices.
First, they could wimp out and retreat.
Second, they could send their strongest forces out all at once and end this to end this in one fell swoop!
Su Yi hoped they’d choose the latter. That’s why he’d decided to wait here; he was waiting for his prey to come to him.
But if they didn’t show up tonight, he’d use his power of reincarnation to remove the karmic tribulation from his body. Then, he’d pay this particular storm no further heed.
Time slipped past.
Just as Su Yi was about to finish his jug of wine, he sensed something and took to the skies.
Boom!
A streak of tyrannical saber light shot up from beneath the mountain he was standing on, cleaving the entire mountain in two. Its bisected halves fell to the ground with a massive bang.
A mighty Void Realm True Immortal had swung his saber, striking from underground!
Even more terrifyingly, the moment Su Yi took to the air, a full eighteen arrows shot over from afar.
The arrows were resplendent and quick as lightning. They enveloped the entire area, leaving nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
Crunch! Crunch!
Su Yi swung the Sword of the Human Realm, filling the air with sword qi that shattered the incoming arrows.
An explosion rang out, scattering a rain of light.
But before Su Yi could do anything else, one beam of treasure light after another charged at him from all sides, lighting up the mountains and rivers.
All of them were mighty immortal treasures. Spears, halberds, flying swords, Daoist seals, fly whisks... and all of them were attacking at once!
Even most Void Realm True Immortals would have broken beneath such an onslaught, let alone a Transcendent.
But Su Yi wasn’t at all panicked, nor did he clash with the treasures head-on. Instead, he flashed across the battlefield, sword in hand, and charged into the fray like an unstoppable arc of divine light.
Boom!
A massive impact rang out, shaking heaven and earth. The mountains and rivers collapsed, and the sky caved in.
A current of destructive power swept outward as Su Yi shot forth like a beam of flowing light. In a flash, he arrived beneath the dome of heaven.
A dozen or so Void Realm True Immortals were shooting toward him from afar. Their ranks included both men and women, and all of them had terrifying auras. As they stepped through the air, their terrifying murderous intent locked firmly onto Su Yi.
“Die!”
Without any wasted words, the Void Realm True Immortals attacked in full force.
All of them attacked without holding anything back in the slightest, unleashing everything they’d been keeping in reserve.
This made their onslaught extraordinarily terrifying.
There was no doubt about it. They understood Su Yi’s strength, so they were going all out right off the bat!
It seems they’ve been pushed to franticness, but... why aren’t there Immortal Lords here to oversee things?
Su Yi found this a bit strange, but there was no time for further thought.
When the enemies surrounding him arrived, Su Yi attacked in full force.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook, and the sun and moon lost their light.
When Su Yi attacked in full force, he was like an unrivaled god of the sword. Tyrannical sword intent rose around his tall, upright figure, soaring into the firmament.
His eyes glinted with cold light, and his long hair fluttered around him. The Sword of the Human Realm clanged, its sword qi so wondrous that it seemed to seize fortune from heaven and earth
Su Yi hadn’t experienced a true no-holds-barred slaughter since he’d left the Human Realm. It had been a long, long time.
At the end of the day, the opponents he’d encountered then were too weak.
But now, he felt the urge to battle again for the first time in a long time.
The pressure bearing down on him, smacking him right in the face, that bone-deep murderous intent, the sensation of a lethal threat... All of it stimulated him, setting his will to fight completely ablaze!
Sword cultivators were born to fight.
The more perilous the situation, the more Su Yi looked forward to it.
He didn’t hesitate. The moment the battle began, he drew upon the Sword of the Nine Hells, and his offensive grew sharper and tyrannical beyond measure.
“Die!” Su Yi waved his sword and charged.
Bang!!!
A massive impact rang out.
A Void Realm True Immortal’s shield exploded in front of him, splitting into pieces.
Tyrannical sword qi ran rampant, slicing the Void Realm True Immortal into countless bloody chunks.
But at the same time, Su Yi was injured. An enemy had taken a chunk of flesh out of his shoulder, revealing the bones below and staining his lapels with blood.
There were just too many enemies, and every one of them was an experienced fighter. They were all targeting Su Yi; there was no avoiding all of their attacks.
But Su Yi didn’t care.
So what if he was injured? It wasn’t like he’d never been injured before!
“Die!”
Su Yi’s entire body blazed with terrifying Dao Light as he flashed across the battlefield.
His opponents were stunned. They couldn’t even imagine how a young man who’d yet to become an immortal could possess such power.
But this only made them attack with increased ferocity.
Suddenly, a Daoist seal slammed into Su Yi’s back. However, he borrowed the force of the blow to shoot ahead, and his sword turned in his grip.
“Die!”
He cut one of his opponents in two at the waist. As the man died, his shrieks shook the heavens.
This scene was so bloody that it left the others’ hearts shaking.
As the battle raged on, Su Yi fought without fear of death, letting his enemies injure him in exchange for opportunities to cut them down!
Thus, although his wounds piled on, staining his clothes red with blood, his foes toppled, one after another!
Within mere moments, six Void Realm True Immortals had died on the spot.
Every one of them died incomparably brutal deaths. These bloody scenes left the other Void Realm True Immortals completely shaken. Chills coursed through their hearts.
Just what kind of monster is he!? This is simply unbelievable!
Boom——!
An arrow suddenly shot toward him.
This time, a whole group of experts was restricting Su Yi’s movements. Although he dodged as quickly as he could, he couldn’t escape in time. The arrow bore right through the left side of his chest, leaving a startling, bloody hole behind.
A waterfall of blood gushed from the wound.
His injuries were far too severe. Su Yi’s blue robes were stained completely red, the fabric in tatters. His entire body was riddled with wounds.
When the others saw this, their spirits soared, and their faces lit up with delight as they charged ahead with all their might.
The depths of Su Yi\'s calm, indifferent gaze shone with a hint of mockery.
So what if his injuries were severe? This couldn’t threaten his life!
Just three snaps of the finger later, Su Yi leaped ahead, breaking past multiple attempts to intercept him. He swung the Sword of the Human Realm as if intent on cleaving through mountains and seas.
Splurt!!
His opponent’s body split down the midline, and a waterfall of blood gushed from both halves of his corpse.
Meanwhile, Su Yi instantly shot out of the encirclement and shot into the distance. He had to deal with that pesky archer hiding in the shadows!
If he didn’t kill him, he’d be restricted at every turn. Naturally, he was rather displeased.
