First Immortal of the Sword

Su Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly as an inexplicable scene rose to the forefront of his consciousness: ants trying to shake a towering tree.

Heavenly Monarchs were naturally no ants. They were experts of the fifth and final realm of Eternity, powerhouses who stood above all other Eternals! When Heavenly Sovereigns weren’t around, Heavenly Monarchs reigned supreme. And this time, more than ten Heavenly Monarchs were attacking at once!

But Su Yi could clearly sense that even when over a dozen Heavenly Monarchs joined forces and attacked with all their might, they couldn’t compare to the Heavenly Sovereign imprint on the thirteenth floor of the Sword-Testing Tower.

The disparity was so great that numbers alone couldn’t close the gap!

These Heavenly Monarchs were even someone inferior to the Aberrant libationers of Heavenly Aberrant Mountain.

Su Yi didn’t just have a vague sense of who was stronger; he could gauge their relative strengths with incomparable precision thanks to his powerful heart and the Ashes of Spirit Edict.

When he fought, he could accurately perceive even the subtlest of details. These hints were reflected in his heart, and with them, he could make precise predictions.

Thus, when the Heavenly Monarchs attacked in unison, Su Yi didn’t retreat. On the contrary, he advanced.

He took a step forward, and seemingly endless, inscrutable sword intent surged forth like the tides. It rose into the heavens and extended into the bowels of the earth, filling the sky. It was vast beyond measure.

Su Yi was like a sword leaving its sheath and revealing its sharp edge.

Boom!

The firmament split, and the earth caved in. The sky broke like paper window paneling as a perfectly straight chasm tore open.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions went off in rapid succession.

Wherever Su Yi went, nothing could stand in his way. The Heavenly Monarchs’ flood of power exploded, scattering a stinging rain of light.

In a snap of the fingers, over a dozen Heavenly Monarchs’ joint attack collapsed and dissipated.

Su Yi was like an unstoppable streak of sword qi, crushing everything in his path as if it were made of rotten wood!

“This...” Ren Dongshi’s scalp tingled with fright.

“Hurry up and run!” bellowed Wang Chu.

But he was one step too late. Su Yi was just too fast, like a beam of flowing light. He pierced the flood of destructive power, then charged right through the Heavenly Monarchs.

When a hurricane swept across the plains, it destroyed everything in its path.

And when Su Yi went all out, he was far more destructive than a hurricane.

Desperate, terrified cries rang out as blood splattered the battlefield and severed limbs flew through the air.

The Heavenly Monarchs offered no more resistance than paper window paneling. They were sent flying in all directions, unable to withstand Su Yi’s charge.

Eight of them died on the spot, their bodies and souls chopped to pieces beneath that unstoppable sword intent.

The others were still alive, but they too were badly injured. They tumbled across the ground, agonized cries rising and falling in waves.

All Su Yi did was charge, but he broke through over a dozen Heavenly Monarchs’ attempts to encircle him. He killed eight of them and injured the rest!

This bloody spectacle astonished everyone present. Wang Chu felt a chill course through him, his expression grimmer than ever before. Ren Dongshi shuddered, his expression darkening.

It was truly horrifying. So many Heavenly Monarchs had joined forces, only to shatter like clay chickens and porcelain dogs. Su Yi overwhelmed them with ease.

This completely overturned their perception of reality.

Even Pu Xuan and Lian Luo froze in place, as still as wooden chickens. Isn’t he... a bit too ferocious? He’s killing Heavenly Monarchs as effortlessly as if he were just slaughtering chickens. Who’d believe that a Silent Realm cultivator was capable of such things unless they’d seen it for themself?

The entire area was in upheaval and covered in billowing clouds and dust.

When the clouds dissipated, Su Yi stood in place, unmarred by the slightest speck of dirt.

He didn’t stop to rest after crushing his enemies’ encirclement. Instead, he raised his right hand and pressed down on the air.

Bang!

A downpour came crashing down. A dense rain of sword qi filled heaven and earth with sharp, destructive majesty, enveloping the already injured Heavenly Monarchs.

“Hurry up and run—!” someone shouted in terror as they scampered off, only to be sliced to ribbons in the blink of an eye.

“No——!” someone shrieked, but there was no stopping the downpour of sword qi. It enveloped and erased him in an instant.

When the downpour dissipated, the ground was left riddled with holes. Over a dozen heavenly Monarchs had been executed, destroyed in both body and soul. No trace of them remained, save for the pungent stench of blood still lingering in the air.

Wang Chu and Ren Dongshi were the only enemies left standing.

Wang Chu still had his foot planted on Lian Luo, and he remained as outwardly calm as ever, but his expression was as unsightly as could be.

He didn’t care in the slightest about most of the dead, but three of the fallen had been fellow experts of Sevendeaths Court, and that infuriated him.

Ren Dongshi’s gaze was solemn. He sighed. “If I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes, I would never have believed that such an unreasonable Silent Realm cultivator existed in this world.”

Su Yi looked at Wang Chu. “Are you willing to let Lian Luo go now?”

Wang Chu sent Lian Luo flying with a kick, then said coldly, “Come on and show me just how capable you really are!”

His dark robes billowed around him as he gripped his feather fan and approached Su Yi. With every step he took, heaven and earth quivered, and the air shook.

Red, gold, green, white, purple, black, and blue baleful auras of the Grand Dao manifested a mysterious ring behind him.

He was drawing upon the full extent of his peak Piercing Illusions Stage cultivation base!

Wang Chu was the junior apprentice brother of the leader of Sevendeaths Court, one of the mightiest Heavenly Monarchs in the Immeasurable Continent. The Heavenly Monarchs Su Yi killed earlier weren’t even remotely comparable!

Su Yi raised his eyebrows. There was no getting around it; Wang Chu was one of the strongest Heavenly Monarchs he’d encountered since returning to the River of Destiny!

One look at his aura, and it was obvious that he’d long since reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Fate Realm. All he needed was an Eternal Throne, and he could become a Heavenly Sovereign at any time!

As Su Yi’s thoughts raced, Wang Chu attacked with a bellow. The ring of condensed, multi-colored baleful energies suddenly took to the sky, then descended upon Su Yi.

The Sevendeaths Circle!

This was a supreme legacy of Sevendeaths Court, but only Heavenly Monarchs could master it to the level of “fusing seven baleful energies into one in a perfect cycle.”

It could easily shatter the bodies of even opponents of the same level, then grind away their souls!

In the face of this attack, the sky wailed on all sides. Its explosive power threatened to destroy the entire stretch of heaven and earth.

But Su Yi didn’t retreat. On the contrary, he advanced, swinging his right hand through the air like a sword.

Sword qi rose into the sky, and sword hums swept forth like the tides.

It was like the light of the heavens exploding into being, cleaving through the chaotic landscape.

An earsplitting impact rang out, and the Sevendeaths Circle split down the center and collapsed into pieces.

From a distance, it was as if Su Yi had split a radiant, multi-colored sun!

But the moment the circle split, a glittering silver glyph appeared out of nowhere, transformed into countless silver threads, and bound Su Yi from head to toe.

He was like a caterpillar in a massive cocoon.

The Radiant Silver Heaven-Binding Talisman!

This was a Heavenly Sovereign-level treasure. Heavenly Sovereign Yaoguang had refined it personally, and it was one of the talismans that Sevendeaths Court kept in reserve.

When activated, it unleashed suppressive power like that of a Heavenly Sovereign. All those beneath that level were immobilized, unable to even struggle.

Ren Dongshi couldn’t help but laugh. This time, Su Yi is dead for sure!

Pu Xuan and Lian Luo’s hearts clenched. Their expressions shifted, and both of them cursed. After all, both sides had agreed to fight without relying on external power, but now, Wang Chu was cheating. He’d used one of his killer weapons to catch Su Yi off guard.

It was utterly shameless and utterly despicable!

“You really thought I wouldn’t use external power just because I said I wouldn’t, huh?” Wang Chu burst into laughter.

Then, as if afraid something else would go wrong, his hands formed a seal, and he shouted in a voice like spring thunder, “Constrict!”

The countless silver threads wrapped around Su Yi wriggled like snakes, then constricted. Once they’d recondensed into the Radiant Silver Heaven-Binding Talisman, Su Yi would be sealed inside, helpless prey they could slaughter as they saw fit.

But then, the countless threads exploded.

Boom!

There was a burst of silver light. Beams shot in all directions.

Then, Su Yi came back into view. He didn’t have so much as a hair out of place. The only difference was that now, his gaze was noticeably colder. “I hate nothing more than those who break their promises. You’ve really made me angry this time.”

“You...” Wang Chu cried out in alarm, his eyes full of disbelief.

Ren Dongshi looked stricken, too. Not even Heavenly Sovereign-level treasures can trap Su Yi!? How is that possible?

Boom!

Su Yi suddenly vanished in place. A moment later, he appeared in front of Wang Chu, extended his hand, and seized him by the throat.

Wang Chu lived up to his reputation as a peak Heavenly Monarch. At this critical juncture, he bellowed and summoned a green flying knife, which shot right between Su Yi’s eyes.

The Malevolent Spirit-Swallowing Knife!

This incomparably sinister treasure targeted the soul. It was one of the killer weapons Wang Chu kept in reserve.

However, to Wang Chu’s horror, the knife had only just reached Su Yi’s forehead when it exploded into pieces with a bang.

It failed to injure Su Yi in the slightest, but even worse, Wang Chu suffered a backlash and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Practically simultaneously, Su Yi lifted him by the throat and slammed him into the ground with a bang.

A muffled impact rang out, and the earth shook.

Wang Chu’s protective aura shattered, leaving his flesh an indistinct, meaty pulp. He cried out in agony.

Before he could even struggle, Su Yi raised him into the air and swung him into the dirt, again and again and again.

Wang Chu’s body tore as blood and flesh flew through the air. All the while, he shrieked like a slaughtered pig.

He was so wretched that even Pu Xuan and Lian Luo winced at the sight of him.

“Su Yi, you...” Wang Chu opened his mouth to speak, only to slam into the ground once more, his flesh detaching from his bones as his body exploded into pieces.

Not even his soul made it away in time; Su Yi grabbed him before he could flee.

But it was then that Wang Chu’s soul suddenly fired a strange beam of golden light. It was aimed directly at Su Yi’s throat.

The Spirit-Severing Blade!

This was yet another Heavenly Sovereign-level secret treasure. It could instantly cut down even the most powerful of foes and strip them of their life force.

But Su Yi reacted as if he had precognition, taking out a fist-sized jade cauldron.

The Cauldron of Fate!

The treasure blocked the Spirit-Severing Blade right in the nick of time, producing a heaven-shaking explosion on impact.

The Spirit-Severing Blade shattered inch by inch, but the Cauldron of Fate wasn’t so much as scratched.

Meanwhile, Su Yi seized the opportunity to grab Wang Chu’s soul by the throat, then tightened his grip.

Bang!

Wang Chu’s soul split into pieces. Su Yi seized a fragment of it, then burned the rest to ash.

It happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that it seemed unbelievable. By the time the others realized what was happening, Wang Chu’s body and soul had been destroyed, and in an utterly brutal way at that.

Even Pu Xuan and Lian Luo were tongue-tied.

Ren Dongshi broke out in cold sweats.

It was just too brutal. A peak Heavenly Monarch had been captured alive, then ground away until nothing remained of him but a piece of his soul!
