First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1076 - A Chessboard Like a World, a Sword Suppresses All

“Ee? Is that Su person trying to kill his way into the Starry Combat Diagram?”

When he saw what Su Yi was up to, the middle-aged, black-robed Elder Yin couldn’t help but be surprised.

A moment later, he chuckled. “That’s truly no different from throwing his life away.”

Yao Emperor Red Pine narrowed his eyes and warned, “Earlier, he broke the Heavenly Yao Refines the Firmament Combat Formation with ease. Even Profound Serenity Emperors might well fall to a single attack. Fellow Daoist, you’d best not be complacent.”

Elder Yin couldn’t help but smile. “Fellow Daoist, you don’t know this, but the Starry Combat Diagram is a secret treasure of the Studio of the Heart. Our founder refined it himself, and it contains the supreme power of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana. It’s too wondrous for words!”

Here, his eyes shone with smug pride. “Garuda and the others are within the Starry Combat Diagram. That will let their cultivation bases and treasures resonate with each other, but more than that, it’ll let them borrow the power of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana.

“This might be unpleasant to hear, but even a Profound Unity cultivator such as yourself would lose beyond a doubt.”

The Red Pine Yao Emperor gasped, visibly moved. “No wonder you’re so confident, Fellow Daoist! So, that supreme treasure is the work of your honorable founder!”

……

Meanwhile, when he saw what Su Yi was attempting, Garuda and the other experts within the diagram couldn’t help but be surprised. Does that Su guy really think breaking the Heavenly Yao Refines the Firmament Combat Formation means he can do whatever he wants?

Someone laughed coldly, “Hah? This is my first time seeing someone throw themselves into the net like this. How is he any different from a moth to the flame?”

“He’s long since ceased to be what he was back then… but his confidence hasn’t changed….” Garuda was a bit stunned.

Meanwhile, Su Yi had already charged into the world within the chessboard!

Now, everyone dared say with certainty that Su Yi really wasn’t afraid of death. Otherwise, who’d be stupid enough to throw themselves into danger like this?

“Very well. Let’s give him a clean death and scatter his ashes to the wind!” Garuda said with staunch conviction.

Boom!

Within the chessboard, firelight surged, and Dao Light interwove.

Garuda was the first to attack. He charged into a fray, his hands like claws as he slashed at Su Yi’s head.

Kcch!

His hands glowed with the Laws of Spirit Nirvana, then burst with misty radiance.

Furthermore, his cultivation base achieved a perfect fusion with the Starry Combat Diagram. His strength soared to unknowable heights!

As he sensed his strength soar, Garuda’s heart shook. He felt proud and contemptuous, and he even felt confident that he could fight a Profound Unity Emperor without fear.

“Should the day come that I truly master this power, and that I no longer have to merely borrow it, won’t I be able to soar to prominence and dominate both heaven and earth?” Garuda’s heart blazed with passion.

In his eyes, Su Yi was doomed to die beneath his last attack!

Because he was confident that throughout the Wilds, aside from a few Profound Unity Realm old-timers, no one could possibly block the Laws of Spirit Nirvana!

When Su Yi saw Garuda attack from afar, his expression showed no sign of emotion. He swung his sleeves, as calm as ever.

Bang!!!

A deafening impact rang out.

Garuda’s claw strike crumpled like paper and fell apart. He was then sent flying back. His bones almost shattered, and he almost coughed up blood.

His expression abruptly changed, and he cried out, “How is this possible!?”

Those were the Laws of Spirit Nirvana!

The Celestial Laws of the Studio of the Heart!

And this was the interior of the Starry Combat Diagram. His strength had merged with the treasure; here, he could fight even a Profound Unity Emperor.

Who’d have imagined that as soon as the battle began, a swoosh of the sleeves would send him flying?

The Blue Ox Yao Emperor and the others’ eyes bulged so hard they almost popped. This seemed completely unbelievable. How… How is this possible!?

Off in the distance, Elder Yin had been spectating as if all of this were perfectly normal. Now, however, he furrowed his brow.

Yao Emperor Red Pine looked stunned, too.

“I’ll deal with you later, you dirty little beast.” Su Yi glanced at Garuda, then shot into the fray.

“Die!” The Ghost Fox Yao Emperor attacked.

A long, thin saber condensed out of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana formed in his grip. He leaped forward and slashed furiously at Su Yi.

Just like Garuda, his cultivation base had soared many times over with the support of the Starry Combat Diagram.

But Su Yi didn’t even look at him. He just slashed Moonlit Shadow through the air.

The saber condensed out of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana exploded into pieces. Meanwhile, Su Yi’s sword continued its ascent, its power undiminished as it slammed into the Ghost Fox Yao Emperor, broke through his defenses, and cleaved him in two.

That terrifying sword intent burst forth, shattering the bisected halves of his corpse to pieces and reducing his origin soul to ash!

One slash, and he executed the Ghost Fox Yao Emperor!

This tyrannical scene made the others completely lose their cool. They were now fully aware of their predicament.

The Falling Star Butterfly Empress’s pretty face shifted, and she murmured, “It seems that the Laws of Spirit Nirvana within the Starry Combat Diagram are completely useless against Su Yi!”

“Attack together!” bellowed one of the old monsters.

The Yao Emperors dispersed throughout the rest of the chessboard’s interior gnashed their teeth and attacked.

The venerable Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor swung a war spear, piercing the air with powerful momentum.

The Falling Star Yao Empress surrounded by a rain of flower petals cracked a radiant silver whip.

The Blue Flame, Astral Winds, and Stalwart Silver Yao Emperors, as well as the other old monsters, activated their various treasures and secret arts, attacking Su Yi from all sides.

Boom!

The world within the chessboard was instantly thrown into upheaval. Waves of divine light swept outward, and misty radiance filled the heavens.

These old monsters were all fearsome, unparalleled existences within the Ten Directions Yao Mountains, and they were famous even in the Wilds.

Pick one at random, and they’d surely have origins extraordinary enough to make the world’s countless cultivators tremble.

Even the weakest of them was in the Profound Serenity Realm, while the strongest had reached the peak of the Profound Serenity Realm countless years ago.

Now, they were launching a joint offensive. It was easy to imagine how terrifying their power was.

But Su Yi neither fled nor dodged. He attacked directly, using his full power, as he wanted to hurry up and get this over with.

Because in a battle like this, there was absolutely no need for mercy.

“Open!” His robes billowed around him as Moonlit Shadow unleashed an avalanche of sword qi. It was unstoppably forceful; everywhere it passed, secret arts and Daoist magics crumbled, and one treasure after another wailed as they were sent flying.

Even the mighty yao cultivators surrounding Su Yi were forced back!

The power of one slash was enough to break their encirclement!

“This…”

“Dammit!!”

“Shit!”

“How is this possible?”

An uproar of alarmed cries rang out throughout the chessboard. The old monsters were, without exception, astonished. Their minds almost went blank.

They’d gone to great lengths to place this deathtrap, gathering forces from throughout the Ten Directions Yao Mountains. They’d even borrowed the power of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana and the Starry Combat Diagram. They’d thought that under the circumstances, killing even a Profound Unity Emperor ought to be no more difficult than turning over their hand!

But now that the battle had truly begun, the results weren’t at all what they’d expected!

Off in the distance, Ye Luo laughed. “Isn’t this just like when Master destroyed the Heavenly Yao Refines the Firmament Combat Formation? Those old monsters were full of confidence and assured of their victory then too, but as soon as the fighting began, they were so scared that their souls left their bodies!”

Alas, Wang Zhuofu didn’t voice his agreement; he was too stunned to speak. He was completely rooted to the spot.

“This is bad!” Elder Yin’s expression finally shifted, and he said with surprise, “It seems that Su person isn’t at all afraid of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana!”

Yao Emperor Red Pine murmured, “If… he really is the reincarnation of the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force, even something far more unbelievable would be easily explainable…”

As the two of them conversed, Su Yi began a massacre within the chessboard.

Actually, after breaking his enemies’ encirclement, Su Yi never stopped. He launched directly into a counter-attack.

His tall, upright figure was surrounded in radiant, ethereal Dao Light. Moonlit Shadow struck repeatedly, producing clear, impassioned hums.

Unstoppable sword qi intercrossed, throwing the entire world within the chessboard into chaos!

One snap of the fingers.

The Blueflame Yao Emperor let out a miserable shriek as a swath of radiant sword rain executed him.

Two snaps of the fingers.

A massive hammer split, and an arc of sword qi chopped the Astral Winds Yao Emperor to bits. Even his soul dispersed.

Three snaps of the fingers.

The Primordial Chaos Yao Emperor and two other Profound Serenity Emperors perished beneath the same slash. Their bodies were cut in two at the waist, splattering the skies with blood.

Su Yi’s momentum was far too overpowering, and tyrannical as could be. With almost every strike, he executed a Yao Emperor.

Like an axe through bamboo, or as if he were slaughtering chickens!

Four snaps of the fingers.

The already terrifying Stalwart Silver Yao Emperor begged in a quavering voice, only for a stab to pierce his skull right between the eyes, eradicating him completely.

Just five snaps of the fingers later, Garuda, the Blue Ox Yao Emperor, the Falling Star Yao Empress, and Dark Mountain Yao Emperor were terrified. Their will to fight crumbled!

None of them dared hesitate. All of them immediately charged out of the chessboard.

It was just as Ye Luo had said. When the battle began, all of them were utterly confident, as if they had this in the bag.

But now, just moments after the battle began, five of the Nine Great Yao Emperors had fallen, and they’d all lost numerous powerful Profound Serenity Realm subordinates.

From beginning to end, not one of them was a match for Su Yi!

To Wang Zhuofu and Ye Luo, this seemed no different from a one-sided slaughter!

Even Ye Luo hadn’t imagined that after reincarnating, his master would be this unbelievably strong as a late-stage Profound Illumination Emperor.

After all, the Yao Emperors were all tough customers, and they’d all lived for countless years. Even the Wilds’ top orthodoxies feared them.

Yet now, Su Yi was cutting them like a chef chopping vegetables!

That invincible, unstoppable vision of slaughter made even Ye Luo’s heart tremble, and his eyes widened.

When he saw that his opponents were trying to flee, Su Yi laughed dryly. “Can you escape, though?”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he stopped in place and thrust Moonlit Shadow into the “ground” of the world within the chessboard.

He then casually placed his right hand on the hilt and pushed.

Boom!

The world within the chessboard shook, and an inscrutable, mysterious power of the Dao of the Sword burst forth and suppressed the Laws of Spirit Nirvana covering the entire space.

The sword seemed to have suppressed the entire world.

Those within it froze. All of them were suddenly under unimaginable pressure!
