Chapter 1073 - A Sword Moves Heaven’s Gate
Ten snaps of the fingers? He’ll surely destroy this formation?
Wang Zhuofu’s eyes widened. I’m afraid even a Profound Unity Emperor wouldn’t dare make such a brazen proclamation!
“Su Yi, you’d better not let all my effort go to waste!” The distant Blue Ox Yao Emperor bellowed, then shifted. Suddenly, he disappeared from the confines of the massive, eighty-thousand-foot Heavenly Yao Refines the Firmament Combat Formation.
Boom——!
Practically simultaneously, the combat formation circulated. Heaven and earth rumbled and boomed, and everything changed.
An endless rain of the light of the formation swept back, and in the blink of an eye, the scenery before Su Yi and his companions changed completely.
One door after another had appeared in the sky, each so tall that they linked heaven and earth. They were like nine heavenly gates blocking their path.
Each of the heavenly gates had a godlike Profound Serenity expert guarding it. The power of the formation boosted their strength.
Furthermore, beyond each heavenly gate were eight thousand yao cultivators in formation, their cultivation bases fusing into a single entity. Their combined power wasn’t just circulating the formation; all of it poured into the Profound Serenity experts’ bodies.
As a result, each Profound Serenity Emperor’s strength had soared to unimaginable heights!
And the nine heavenly gates’ power linked and resonated. The strength of that continuously accumulated and overlapping power made even Ye Luo feel suffocated.
This combat formation really was overly terrifying. It was strong enough to destroy Profound Serenity Emperors with ease!
“Each of the nine heavenly gates combines nine subsidiary formations and is overseen by a mighty Profound Serenity Realm yao. They each control the combined power of nine subsidiary formations and eight thousand yao warriors. I’m afraid even a Profound Unity Realm Emperor wouldn’t be able to break it…” Wang Zhuofu broke out in cold sweats.
This combat formation was simply heaven-defying. Such formations were a rare sight indeed.
Wang Zhuofu recalled Su Yi bragging that he could break it within ten snaps of the fingers, but he wasn’t at all confident.
……
Outside the massive combat formation, a group of terrifying Yao Emperors gathered.
There was the elegant, handsome bordering on beautiful, youthful Ghost Fox Yao Emperor; the yellow-robed, white-haired, venerable Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor; and several others.
“Just looking at a combat formation of this level makes my heart quiver. I cannot even imagine how much pressure those within it must be under,” sighed the Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor.
“They say that His Excellency Pi Mo put it together, and that it can kill all Profound Serenity existences beneath the heavens. Its power is naturally extraordinary.” The Ghost Fox Yao Emperor laughed.
“It seems that this impersonator won’t be able to escape disaster. That is, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless he really is the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force.”
The various Yao Emperors burst into mocking laughter.
The Ghost Fox Yao Emperor even went so far as to jeer, “Were the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force to appear in person, there’d be no need to fight. We’d be better off just admitting defeat.”
Another burst of laughter greeted this declaration.
Everyone knew that the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force had died five hundred years ago!
Before long, the Blue Ox Yao Emperor’s massive frame shot out of the combat formation, and the massive formation circulated with a boom.
The other Yao Emperor’s spirits soared. The show was about to begin!
The Blue Ox Yao Emperor muttered to himself, “I really hope that Su person doesn’t die too quickly. Otherwise, the work I put into this trap really will have been a waste.”
……
The combat formation rumbled and boomed, and heaven and earth shook.
The nine heavenly gates circulated. Even just the force released from the formation was like a tidal wave or avalanche descending upon Su Yi and his companions.
“All you have to do is follow me,” said Su Yi. He brushed off his clothes, then continued forward.
Wisps of the dreamlike, illusory power of the Laws of the Grand Dao lingered around his tall, upright figure. Moonlit Shadow hummed in his grip, as if he were an immortal or a god going into battle. He seemed utterly transcendent.
Ye Luo looked calm and composed as he followed his master. Even if the heavens fell and the earth crumbled, so long as his master was with him, he had nothing to fear. He felt an unprecedented sense of assurance.
However, Ye Luo could tell that Wang Zhuofu was extremely nervous.
This old fossil of the Wang Family had activated practically all of his defensive arts and treasures at once, and he looked as nervous as if he were walking on thin ice.
There was no doubt about it; Wang Zhuofu was preparing for the worst.
You’re so badly injured, but you nonetheless dare accompany Master and me into danger. Fifth Senior Apprentice Brother, this elder of yours is quite something, thought Ye Luo.
Boom!
A furious tidal wave of the power of the fluctuation swept forth. Firelight surged, and restriction markings flashed, emanating terrifying, destructive power.
Su Yi casually swung his sword.
Bang!
The rain of light filling the skies exploded, and the tidal wave of power dispersed and receded.
“Ee? It really is as the rumors say. That Su kid might only be in the Profound Illumination Realm, but his combat prowess really is heaven-defying!” the Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor exclaimed.
“Someone capable of killing Huo Yao is naturally no ordinary person. The curtains have only just opened on this grand show, that’s all,” the Blue Ox Yao Emperor laughed dryly.
“The Blood Feather Yao Empress is overseeing the first gate. She’s Brother Blue Ox’s most capable subordinate.” The Ghost Fox Yao Emperor’s eyes flashed. “I just don’t know how long that Su Yi kid can hold out.”
All eyes were instantly upon the first gate.
A colorfully dressed woman oversaw it. She was a moving beauty with a charming figure, and she held an indigo feather fan.
The Blood Feather Yao Empress.
She was in the mid-stage Profound Serenity Realm, and her original body was a Blood Feather Crane. Her cultivation base was deep, and her foundations were firm. She was far beyond most of her contemporaries!
It was then that Su Yi and his companions hurtled toward the first gate.
“Little fellow, there’s still time to surrender and come quietly. If you do, I’ll naturally give you a chance to turn over a new leaf,” laughed the Blood Feather Yao Empress with a charming, sultry smile.
She waved her feather fan, and her graceful figure was enveloped in a rain of the light of the formation. When her aura connected with the eight thousand mighty yao within the first gate, she seemed like an immortal, and her imposing presence spread out around her.
Su Yi ignored her. Instead, he said to Ye Luo, “Remember to pick up the dirty beast’s body.”
Ye Luo nodded without so much as pausing to think. “Rest assured, Master. Such wondrous delicacies are rare beyond these mountains. Whether we make soup or barbecue, it’s sure to be too scrumptious for words.”
“D-Delicacies?” Wang Zhuofu jumped in fright.
The Yao Emperors outside were stunned too. It seemed they didn’t quite believe it.
Within the first heavenly gate, the Blood Feather Yao Empress’s smile froze, and her expression filled with dense, irrepressible murderous intent.
Throughout history, yao cultivators had hated nothing more than being viewed as food! It was an expression of absolute contempt, an utter humiliation!
Su Yi paid her no heed. Instead, he said, “Right, you can start counting now.”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he took a step forward and shot toward the first heavenly gate. It looked as if he were out for a casual stroll.
“Little brat! You’re really sick of living!”
The Blood Feather Yao Empress’s beautiful eyes blazed with murderous intent. She raised her indigo feather fan and swung it through the air with all her might.
Boom!
The power of the formation surged, transforming into a raging windstorm. Countless glittering golden Dao markings surged forth, dazzling the eyes.
Practically simultaneously, the Profound Serenity experts overseeing the other eight gates took action to support the Blood Feather Yao Empress’s offensive.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Roar after roar shook the heavens.
The entire Heavenly Yao Refines the Firmament Combat Formation had activated, and it unleashed dazzling Dao Light. All of a sudden, lightning surged, divine flames blazed, and it seemed as if moons, suns, and stars were crumbling. The entire landscape seemed to crack and split.
This was unquestionably far too terrifying. Heaven and earth were in disarray. It was a nigh apocalyptic scene.
A windstorm swathed in explosive, destructive power swept toward Su Yi.
An attack like this could easily shatter a Profound Serenity Emperor!
Outside, the Ghost Fox Yao Emperor, the Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor, and the other old monsters gasped. Their hearts shook.
There was no denying that Pi Mo’s combat formation was absolutely terrifying. Its murderous power was a rare sight.
The Blue Ox Yao Emperor looked pleased. His eyes blazed with passion. Look at that power! All that effort wasn’t for nothing!
Within the combat formation.
Ye Luo’s long gray hair fluttered around him, and his eyes sparkled like stars. That formation really is strong enough to make one give in to despair, but… it’s nowhere near as impressive as the Descent of a Thousand Swords that Master placed around the Grotto of Abstruse Force.
The Descent of a Thousand Swords is arguably the greatest sword formation in all of the Wilds. It can cut down even gods and ghosts!
Wang Zhuofu’s hair stood on end. He immediately activated his every defensive treasure and secret art to their maximum strength!
His heart trembled, and he was visibly overcome with astonishment.
Why? Simple: this formation was so strong that it left even a long-established Profound Serenity Emperor like him, someone who’d lived for countless years, on the verge of a mental breakdown!
But it was then that Su Yi struck.
Clang——!
His robes billowed around him as he soared into the air. Moonlit Shadow burst with ethereal moonlight as he struck from afar.
Boom!
It was as if the river of stars had broken through a dam and descended upon the world below. It was as radiant as the light of a new dawn as if poured from the heavens.
One slash, yet it unleashed radiant, immeasurable power as it swept through the nine heavens and the ten earths!
The windstorm sweeping toward Su Yi exploded like paper mache before it even touched him.
And when his slash descended…
Boom!
The first heavenly gate shook violently. Firelight surged and Dao Markings flashed. It was as if a formerly tranquil ocean had been stirred, producing towering waves.
Then, all nine gates trembled.
Although they neutralized the slash’s power in the end, the nine Profound Serenity Emperors overseeing the nine heavenly gates all looked stunned.
What a terrifying strike!
“This…”
Wang Zhuofu’s heart shook. His eyes widened, and he found himself at a loss for words.
That slash was tyrannical to the extreme, as if it could shake the entire world! It was enough to make the vast majority of the world’s Profound Serenity Emperors pale by comparison!
“How could a Profound Illumination Emperor possibly possess such heaven-defying power?”
“One slash, that’s all, yet he shook the Heavenly Yao Refines the Firmament Combat Formation!?”
“That kid really isn’t simple! No wonder even Pi Mo attaches such importance to him. No wonder he went so far as to set up this multi-layered death trap!”
Outside the formation, the Ghost Fox Yao Emperor, Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor, and the other old monsters were all alarmed and bewildered.
“It’s more interesting this way, don’t you think? If he were too weak to fight back, why would we have joined forces to attack him?” The Blue Ox Yao Emperor’s eyes blazed like twin suns. He was obviously excited.
Meanwhile, after unleashing that slash, Su Yi didn’t pause in the slightest. He swung Moonlit Shadow and struck once more.
