First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1050 - The Holy Son of a Sect From the Depths of Outer Space?

The Profound Lightning Golden Bamboo Staff trembled in Su Yi’s hands, flashing with golden light and emanating mystical energy fluctuations.

It was just as he’d said to Huo Yao back in the Netherworld: “What I give you, you’re welcome to take, but what I don’t give you will never belong to you.”

Su Yi had reclaimed the treasures Huo Yao stole—like the Scarlet Dome of Heaven and the Silverflame Fighting the Heavens Armor—using a secret art. Now, he used the same secret art on the Profound Lightning Golden Bamboo Staff.

It was simple: every time Su Yi collected a treasure in his past life, he’d use an Edict to leave his mark on it. That way, even if he lost it, he could retrieve it with ease!

But he wasn’t a stingy sort; when he gave something to his disciples, he naturally removed the Edict first.

“How is this possible!?” Off in the distance, Wang Tianyun was alarmed, furious, and overcome with disbelief.

The old man in hemp clothes was astonished too, and his pupils constricted.

A young man in the Profound Illumination Realm had seized a Profound Serenity powerhouse’s treasure in a flash. This was simply unbelievable!

“In your hands, this treasure is like a pearl buried in the mud. You’re desecrating a heavenly treasure.” Su Yi gently caressed the Profound Lightning Golden Bamboo Staff and sighed.

“Give it back!” Wang Tianyun bellowed, frantic with anger, and charged at Su Yi. He was intent on retrieving the staff.

Su Yi’s wrists shook, and he swung the golden bamboo staff like a sword.

Boom!

A streak of radiant golden lightning flashed into being, transformed into dazzling electric sword qi, and descended explosively.

In that moment, heaven and earth lit up, and a perfectly straight rift opened in the sky. Everyone who looked at it felt a stinging pain in their eyes, and their hearts shook.

That slash was far too tyrannical and dazzling. Its destructive power was enough to shake heaven and earth!

Before this attack even descended, Wang Tianyun’s hair stood on end. He sensed a lethal threat.

Without the slightest hesitation, he let out a heaven-shaking bellow. His hands formed seals, as if embracing a dazzling sun, which he flung through the air.

This was the supreme secret art of the Levitating Sword Hall——The Divine Dance of the Sun!

One attack, and it was as if a deity were carrying the sun and dancing throughout the world of men. It was fierce, explosive, and tyrannical.

But mere moments later, beneath the crowd’s disbelieving gazes, Su Yi’s electric sword qi shattered that massive sun and cleaved into Wang Tianyun’s body.

Bang!!

Wang Tianyun exploded on the spot, scattering flesh and blood.

His soul escaped just in time, and it shrieked in terror. “Elder Feng, save me——!”

He really was scared out of his wits. A young man, nothing more, yet his slash had blasted apart the fleshly body of a Profound Serenity Powerhouse. If Wang Tianyun’s soul hadn’t escaped in time, it would have been wiped out on the spot too!

“This…” Elder Feng’s expression shifted, but he had no time to give the matter any further thought. He shot toward Wang Tianyun’s soul in a flash.

But he ultimately arrived just one step too late. A streak of glittering sword qi flashed into being, slashing through Wang Tianyun’s soul before the old man in hemp could get there.

Kcch!

Wang Tianyun’s soul instantly split, and the explosive electric energy minced it into powder, which then dissipated.

The hemp-clad old man abruptly stopped in his tracks, his expression unsightly.

It had happened so suddenly. He could never have anticipated that a Profound Serenity Realm cultivator like Wang Tianyun would lose so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was dead. Elder Feng didn’t even have time to rush to his aid!

“That’s… a bit too ferocious, isn’t it…?” Over in the ritual grounds, the experts of Profound Sky Academy were wide-eyed and tongue-tied with astonishment.

Earlier, they’d been on the brink of despair. Who’d have thought an unknown young man would appear out of nowhere and rewrite the ending just like that?

And who’d have thought this young stranger could suppress and kill a Profound Serenity Emperor like Wang Tianyun with such ease?

The only two remaining Profound Illumination Emperors and the five remaining Spiritual Revolution Emperors were all overcome with alarm, and their courage failed them.

They’d been completely scared out of their wits!

“Did Pi Mo send you?” Su Yi gazed at the old man in hemp.

The old man’s eyes flashed with icy light, and he said coldly, “Pi Mo? No. He might be able to command everyone in the Abstruse Force Alliance, but he cannot command me.”

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose in surprise, and he couldn’t help but re-evaluate the old man. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. “Are you from outer space?”

Highly distinctive energy fluctuations emanated from the old man. They were strange and cold, and they made the heart shake.

Their aura wasn’t one whit inferior to the Laws of Heavenly Prayer or the Laws of Cosmic Silence! Both were Celestial Laws, the supreme Laws of an entire star realm, and both were utterly terrifying, like the will of the heavens.

And the aura emanating from the old man in hemp had a similar quality to it!

The old man couldn’t help but be surprised. “It’s already been a hundred years since I entered the Wilds, but this is the first time someone saw through my origins at a glance. Young man… are you perhaps from the stars beyond too?”

He was quite surprised, and the way he looked at Su Yi changed.

Yu Changming and the others’ hearts shook. Only now did they realize that the old man in hemp was from the stars beyond!

This was far, far too rare. Such experts had almost never appeared before, and if word got out, it would surely cause widespread uproar.

Su Yi didn’t answer. Instead, he asked, “Then has Pi Mo already established an alliance with your faction?”

The old man’s eyes flashed. “If you tell me your origins, I wouldn’t mind answering some of your questions.”

“Oh,” said Su Yi. “Have you sworn a Grand Dao Oath like the experts of the Nine Heavens Pavilion?”

The old man’s pupils constricted; he obviously realized the implications of Su Yi’s question. Despite himself, he was so angry that he laughed. “What, don’t tell me you plan to search my soul?”

Su Yi nodded forthrightly. “Searching your soul would indeed be the fastest, most effective way to learn what I want to know.”

Everyone else present felt their hearts quiver.

This young man was far too domineering. He actually didn’t take this terrifying expert from the stars beyond at all seriously!

But the man in hemp smiled faintly. “You realized at a glance that I’m not of this world, and you even know about the Nine Heavens Pavilion. I’m quite interested in you too. How about we see just who searches whose soul?”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, the old man in hemp attacked.

Kcch!

A streak of misty light burst in midair, like dazzling, multi-colored ink. It instantly outlined a massive flying serpent.

The serpent was covered in black scales, and it had wings and dragon-like whiskers. As soon as it appeared, it threw back its head and roared, filling the sky with black, baleful mists.

Then, it charged at Su Yi.

A flying serpent!

An unparalleled vicious beast of the ancient past!

Boom!

As soon as the flying serpent appeared, the entire stretch of heaven and earth shook, and streaks of the power of the formation surged forth. They gathered around the flying serpent like mad, increasing its momentum until it was terrifying beyond measure.

It was like the descent of a yao god. Even a Profound Serenity Emperor like Yu Changming felt a chill course through him just watching it. It was as if he’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

“So, you achieved the Dao and mastered this power of the Laws through painting? You vividly depicted the ferocious majesty of a true flying serpent, and connected it with the formation covering Profound Sky Academy. Your methods really are extraordinary.” Su Yi’s eyes flashed. He could tell that the old man’s Laws were displayed through the Dao of Painting. They were highly distinctive and mysterious.

But even as he pondered, his movements never slowed. He used the Profound Lightning Bamboo Staff as a sword and thrust through the sky.

I have a sword to pluck moon and stars. All the heavens’ light is within my grasp!

Dazzling lightning sword qi instantly transformed into a boundless blue sea, and the moon and sun were reflected on its surface.

It was as resplendent as a dream, yet full of lethal danger.

The flying serpent stirred up baleful black mists as it charged straight into the blue sea. As it beat its wings, the power of the formation surged, and the sun and moon collapsed with a bang.

As the massive serpent shot ahead, the enormous sea dissipated.

Boom!

The colliding destructive power made Su Yi stagger back several steps, his blood and qi churning.

Indeed, he’s mastered the supreme Celestial Laws of a star realm. They’re no inferior to the Laws of Heavenly Prayer or Cosmic Silence! Su Yi thought to himself.

But this clash hadn’t scared him. On the contrary, he was delighted.

Because this time, he hadn’t used the Sword of the Nine Hells. Sure, he’d been shaken back, but just by a few steps.

Let’s test out the Laws of Rebirth! Su Yi leaped into the air, waved his sword, and attacked.

Boom!

He activated the Profound Lighting Golden Bamboo Staff with the Laws of Rebirth, then slashed. Sword qi emanating an inscrutable, mysterious power of annihilation swept forth.

This was the power of rebirth.

On contact, a cultivator’s cultivation base, memories, body, and soul were eradicated completely!

This was what they meant when they said “you enter life with nothing, and you take nothing with you when you die”!

As one of the Laws comprising the secrets of reincarnation, the Laws of Rebirth were one of the most supreme Laws of the Netherworld.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out. Su Yi and the flying serpent clashed, and sword qi crisscrossed in the air, throwing the entire area into turmoil.

Not bad, not bad. I’ve achieved minor success in the Laws of Rebirth, and although they’re a bit weaker, they’re still enough to contend with my opponent’s Laws! Su Yi was inwardly delighted.

He’d only achieved minor success, but he could already contend with his opponent’s Laws, albeit just barely. How strong would the Laws of Rebirth be when he achieved major success?

Or when he achieved true mastery?

Didn’t this imply that the complete Laws of Rebirth weren’t any weaker than the supreme laws of an entire star realm?

This discovery told Su Yi that he’d almost certainly severely underestimated the Laws comprising the mysteries of reincarnation.

Meanwhile——

This Profound Illumination Realm kid can actually counter my Laws of Spirit Nirvana?

Off in the distance, the old man in hemp clothing continued controlling the flying serpent, but inwardly, he couldn’t stay calm.

He was from an enormous, mysterious faction of the starry skies. They were the sovereigns of their star realm, an ancient orthodoxy comparable to the Church of the River of Stars or the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

And his Laws of Spirit Nirvana were the greatest power at their sect’s disposal. Here in the “Celestial Ruins” of the Dark and Gold Star Realm, they suppressed the overwhelming majority of the Laws.

This made the old man in hemp practically invincible against others of the same cultivation, and he could even cross realms to kill superior foes.

Yet now, a teenager in the Profound Illumination Realm had blocked his attack!

How could he not be surprised?

Don’t tell me this kid is the holy son of some peak orthodoxy from the depths of outer space?

The old man in hemp was alarmed and bewildered, and he dared not be negligent.
