First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1264 - The Primordial Unity Divine Sovereign

Qing Xiao.

An inner sect elder of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect and a peak Oneness Realm expert.

When he asked to be the first to fight, Sect Leader Weng Pu gave him an escape talisman to ensure his life.

Who’d have thought he’d die before he even got the chance to activate it?

Or that he'd die within just three steps?

Everyone in the sect saw his death clearly through the Heaven-Surveying Mirrors.

The entire sect was instantly so silent, you could have heard a pin drop. Even the birds ceased their song.

Strong!!

The younger-generation cultivators who’d only just been discussing Su Yi without reservation were dazed and rooted to the spot.

Qing Xiao was so strong that they could only gaze upon him from afar, but now, he was dead.

And his opponent never even attacked him. Just three steps, and he suppressed and killed Qing Xiao!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

“And here I thought we’d already appraised the Temple Master’s reincarnation’s strength quite highly. Now, it seems we were still mistaken...” Sect Leader Weng Pu’s expression darkened.

Over the past three days, he’d arranged all manner of methods and hidden cards. He’d agreed to let Qing Xiao be the first to fight because he wanted to get a feel for Su Yi’s abilities.

Who’d have thought Su Yi’s strength would completely eclipse their estimates?

“Nothing more than the late-stage Heavenly Longevity Realm, yet he crushed the mid-stage Oneness Realm Qing Xiao. I have to admit that the reincarnated Temple Master is quite terrifying.” Shui Tianhan furrowed his brow.

“The Laws of the Grand Dao he’s mastered can counter the Laws of Primordial Unity. Furthermore, it has a restrictive power. That’s why Qing Xiao couldn’t escape.” Li Xunzhen picked up on a few hints, and his eyes flashed.

“He’s so strong even in the Heavenly Longevity Realm. How strong will he be upon achieving Oneness?” Gu Lingyun’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. “No matter what, we can’t let him leave here alive!”

Her voice was rife with bone-chilling coldness.

Li Xunzhen directly issued orders. “No need to hide any longer. Activate the Primordial Unity Divine Sovereign Formation!”

Weng Pu’s gaze focused, and he nodded.

......

An austere atmosphere spread throughout heaven and earth. The air practically froze.

The experts hurrying to Qing Xiao’s aid were all World Kings. There were nine of them in total. Three Oneness experts and six late-stage Heavenly Longevity experts.

In the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm, a lineup like that could go wherever they pleased.

Yet now, against Su Yi—just one person—these nine World Kings all looked grim. Dread was written all over their faces.

They dared not get any further!

Su Yi took out a jug of wine and drank as he walked right toward them.

Boom!

As he approached, the surrounding skies contorted and collapsed. The Laws of Primordial Unity enveloping the sky were forcefully suppressed, unable to approach.

The nine World Kings scattered like startled birds. The moment Su Yi took a step, they retreated explosively back.

Three steps, and Qing Xiao died.

This reality left the nine World Kings scared out of their wits. They dared not clash with Su Yi head-on.

Su Yi smiled and disregarded them.

His steps were slow and unhurried. It was as if heaven and earth contracted, an entire landscape reduced to a single inch. In the blink of an eye, heaven and earth were cast behind him.

Suddenly, the dome of heaven collapsed.

A streak of divine radiance descended, shattering the skies as it burst toward Su Yi.

Su Yi swung his sleeves.

Bang!

The divine radiance exploded, shattering into countless talisman markings and dispersing.

Meanwhile, he staggered slightly on his feet. Despite himself, he looked a bit stunned.

“Die!” A heaven-shaking shout resounded from afar.

A ten-thousand-foot illusory divine sovereign appeared beneath the dome of heaven.

The divine sovereign had three heads and six arms. Each controlled a different treasure: a Daoist canon, a blue lamp, a jade ruler, a fly whisk, a bronze seal, and a treasure bottle.

One of its three heads was kindly and benevolent. Another was calm but imposing. The third’s expressions shifted continuously, endlessly taking upon the appearances of the masses.

As this ten-thousand-foot figure appeared, the sound of the Grand Dao rumbled and boomed. Endless misty light filled the sky, dazzling to behold.

Terrifying power swept through heaven and earth!

“The Primordial Unity Divine Sovereign Formation?” Su Yi’s eyebrows rose.

This was the sect’s mountain-protecting formation. It was a peak killing formation even by the standards of the Eastern Profound Star Domain as a whole. Touch of Gold Pavilion had appraised it as the thirteenth strongest killing formation of the stars!

When circulated at full force, it could suppress and kill even Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings!

Su Yi could tell that this illusory divine sovereign combined the power of a full twenty-four Heavenly Longevity World Kings and nine Oneness World Kings!

That aside, the Laws of Primordial Unity dispersed throughout the surrounding area were now fully under the divine sovereign’s control.

Gazing upon it from afar, that divine sovereign seemed like a supreme, unsurpassed sovereign of heaven. Just looking at it made one feel paltry and insignificant.

“This formation is actually quite something.”

Su Yi put away his jug of wine. But just when everyone watching through the Heaven-Surveying Mirrors thought he was about to draw his sword...

He casually rolled up his sleeves.

He still planned to fight barehanded!

“Isn’t this guy underestimating our killer formation a bit too much...?” Gu Lingzhen was stunned, and she felt somehow offended.

Weng Pu, Shui Tianhan, and Li Xunzhen were uncomfortable too. They were downright eager to watch the Temple Master’s reincarnation take a beating.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out.

Off in the distance, that divine sovereign charged. His hands formed seals, and countless bolts of lightning descended with a bang, enveloping Su Yi.

The thunder and lightning were manifestations of the formation’s power imbued with the Laws of Primordial Unity. They could incinerate entire worlds with ease and refine the stars.

Practically simultaneously, Su Yi leaped into the air.

Whoosh!

His robes billowed around him, and his hands formed seals. He slammed his fists against the air.

A boundless streak of sword qi shot forth, like the river of stars flowing backward, or the nine heavens circling in reverse. It cleaved right through the sea of lightning with unstoppable sharpness.

The rumbling of thunder and arcs of lightning filling the sky crumbled instantly, like rotten wood.

But the terrifying lightning was far too dense and boundless. No matter how much he destroyed, there was no end in sight.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi’s sword qi was frittered away to nothingness.

And the raging, explosive lightning swept past him. Although he neutralized it in the end, he was forced several steps back.

Excited, joyful cries arose within the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.

Qing Xiao’s death had given them all an enormous shock, affecting their will to fight.

But now that Su Yi was being forced back, the higher-ups’ spirits soared, and they let out sighs of relief.

The Temple Master’s reputation was far too great.

Even though Su Yi was only his reincarnation, his heaven-defying combat strength still put enormous pressure on them.

But now, they saw an opportunity!

“A bit interesting,” Su Yi said softly.

The will to fight surged in the depths of his gaze.

He’d yet to encounter a worthy foe since becoming a World King.

Although this was merely an illusory figure manifested of a formation, it successfully ignited Su Yi’s hard-to-awaken will to fight.

“Die!” A heaven-shaking roar rang out.

That illusory divine sovereign shifted through the air. With a wave of its hands, thousands of arcs of divine light soared toward Su Yi.

Every last one of them was as radiant as the sun, dazzlingly bright. All of them emanated enough power to annihilate heaven and earth.

Su Yi let out a long laugh, then stepped into the air.

He no longer kept anything hidden, instead drawing upon his true strength. Instantly, dreamlike, illusory Dao Light appeared around his tall, upright figure, soaring in the firmament.

In the blink of an eye, he was like an entirely different person, unbridled and contemptuous, like an immortal descending into mortal dust!

Boom!

Within his body, the power of his cultivation base surged like the sea. Within his Grand Dao Black Hole, immortal mist billowed, and Dark and Gold Essence rose.

It was reflected outside his body as well, shrouding him in the charm of a god or immortal.

Bang!

He used his fingers as a sword, cleaving ferociously through the heavens.

It was as if heaven and earth were torn asunder. The thousands of arcs of divine radiance split on contact.

That ten-thousand-foot illusory divine sovereign was forced back with a massive boom and a surge of misty light.

But it fully recovered in moments, and its momentum was even greater than before. It strode through the skies and attacked Su Yi once more.

Just like that, a grand battle broke out.

The surrounding landscape was reduced to powder. Heaven and earth caved in, and numerous massive chasms tore open. Explosive divine radiance and Dao Light ran rampant throughout the nine heavens and ten earths.

Throughout the surrounding eight hundred miles, everything but the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect faced devastation. It was a vision of upheaval.

Those watching through the Heaven-Surveying Mirrors saw everything in full detail. Their hearts quivered with fright, and they struggled to even breathe.

“Isn’t this Su Yi a bit too strong?”

“Our founder placed the Primordial Unity Divine Sovereign Formation personally, and it can suppress and kill even Cosmic Enlightenment experts. Yet the Temple Master’s reincarnation can fight with it head-on?!”

“Can such a terrifying Heavenly Longevity expert really exist in this world!?” Some of the younger-generation cultivators broke out in cold sweats.

The battle they now witnessed completely overturned their imagination and perception of reality. It was an enormous shock to their hearts and minds.

Fortunately, the sect leader and the ancestors never once underestimated Su Yi, and they prepared numerous deathtraps outside our gates... some of the higher-ups inwardly celebrated.

At first, many of them disregarded the threat the Temple Master’s reincarnation presented.

But reality proved that the sect leader and the ancestors had been right to place those traps!

You really couldn’t judge the Temple Master’s reincarnation by his cultivation boundary!

“He... He’s actually this strong already...” A’Cai looked dazed.

She thought back to a few years prior, when she and Su Yi first met. At the time, Su Yi had only recently become an Emperor.

Yet now, he was already capable of using his Heavenly Longevity Realm cultivation to fight the thirteenth strongest killing formation of the Eastern Profound Star Domain!

And he was doing it bare-handed!

He’d changed so much that he seemed like a completely different person.

“I remember my master saying that when he was in the Heavenly Longevity Realm, he could at most cross a single realm to kill Oneness Realm World Kings, but even so, that shook the entire sect. They said that tens of thousands of years might pass without anyone achieving such a feat,” muttered Gu Lingyun. “But this Su Yi person... is in the Heavenly Longevity Realm too, but it seems he’s already capable of contending with Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World Kings!”

Her voice was full of astonishment and disbelief.

Li Xunzhen and Shui Tianhan looked solemn.

This heaven-defying combat strength wasn’t just difficult to believe. Throughout the star realms and throughout the ages, there was no one else comparable!

This was unquestionably unparalleled and unprecedented!

But Sect Leader Weng Pu’s gaze was suddenly passionate. He said softly, “These are the secrets of reincarnation. In his past life, the Temple Master was already an unbeatable legend. Now that he’s reincarnated and cultivated anew, he’s obviously stepped onto a path superior to that of his past life!

“If we controlled this power...”

His voice trailed off, but the three ancestors were already tempted, and their hearts filled with irrepressible longing.
