First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1453 - Single-Handedly Transforming the Human Realm

Mi Zhen’s figure was battered and broken. The blood sword had dealt him a massive blow, suppressing him atop the River of Spacetime!

Even Su Yi was unwittingly stunned. She’s... actually so ferocious?

“Daoist Brother, that guy is no more than one of the Dipankara Buddha’s dogs. Back then, you could have eradicated him with a single thought,” sighed Luo Yao.

It seemed she’d realized that Su Yi had yet to regain his memories of their time together, and her blood-red eyes shone with a hint of melancholy.

“That so...?” Su Yi rubbed his nose, feeling a bit strange.

Mi Zhen’s expression filled with dread. He hissed, “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how the gods worked together to hunt you down!?”

The woman stretched out her finger and tapped the air.

Boom!

Murderous intent exploded from the blood sword, rising into the firmament and grinding Mi Zhen into nothingness.

Just like that, a divine attendant had been killed!

But the woman acted as if she’d done something too trivial even to be worth mentioning. She beckoned, and the blood sword transformed into a beam of light and landed in her palm. She then placed it on her back.

“Senior! Senior, are you alright?” Qin Chongxu’s frantic voice emanated from within the bronze box.

Su Yi tossed the box to Luo Yao. “This contains the hand you left behind.”

The woman accepted the bronze box and tapped the lid. Qin Chongxu’s panicked cries came to an abrupt halt.

Then, Luo Yao looked up. Her blood-red eyes were blue once more, and her presence was now tranquil and aloof.

She gazed intently at Su Yi. Despite herself, a hint of undisguised delight tugged at her lips, and she murmured, “Daoist Brother, countless years have passed, but... you’ve finally returned to us through reincarnation.

“You might still be weak, and you might not have reawakened your memories yet, but one day, you’ll be even stronger than you were back then!

“It’s a pity. We don’t have much time left. I have to return to the Boundless Battlefield as soon as possible. We cannot feast, drink, and make merry as we did back then. It’s truly a shame.”

Luo Yao sighed.

She was an unmatched beauty, her graceful figure shrouded in ethereal divine light as she stood atop the River of Spacetime.

She looked as if she were standing nearby, yet felt as distant as if she stood beyond the nine heavens.

“Daoist Brother, I’m sure you have lots of questions, but you’ll understand everything that happened here one day,” the woman said gently.

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to sense something. She whipped up her head and gazed into the depths of the River of Spacetime.

Before long, her delicate eyebrows knit together. “The Dipankara Buddha has sensed the disturbance here. He’s trying to rush over from the Boundless Battlefield!”

Su Yi really did have a bellyful of questions. He couldn’t help but ask, “You... were on the Boundless Battlefield earlier. Were you perhaps fighting the Dipankara Buddha?”

“I was,” Luo Yao said at top speed. “My fellow Daoists are restricting his movements, preventing him from leaving the Boundless Battlefield. That’s why he just sent one of his dogs over to act on his behalf instead of coming himself.”

Su Yi’s heart shook. Only now did he understand the secrets behind this incident!

No wonder Mi Zhen had come alone. So, the “gods” were stuck on the battlefield and unable to divide their attention!

“But even if the gods descend, due to the restrictions of the Laws, all they can do is send an avatar of will. Were they to descend in the flesh, the laws of the natural order would stop them, and they’d severely affect the trajectory of the River of Spacetime. If that happened, they’d have no hope of finding this place in the intersection of time and space. They naturally wouldn’t be able to find you.That’s true for the Dipankara Buddha, and for the other gods too.

“That means that if they want to take you down, they cannot act directly, nor can they really grasp your exact location. All they can do is send their dogs to do their dirty work.”

She’d only just said this when...

Boom!

The River of Spacetime shook violently, and the power of the natural order went wild, stirring up enormous waves. Everything showed signs of disarray.

The mysterious tunnel leading here shook violently. It showed signs of imminent collapse.

Luo Yao’s delicate brow furrowed, and she sighed softly. “There’s no time... Daoist Brother, please allow me to send you back before it’s too late.”

She then stretched out her slender, crystalline left hand.

Countless raindrops formed of the natural order, surging into the mysterious tunnel. It instantly stabilized, showing no further signs of collapse.

“Daoist Brother, act quickly!” Luo Yao urged him on.

Su Yi turned and arrived at the entrance to the mysterious tunnel. In the end, he couldn’t help but look back and ask, “Back then, the avatar of will you left within your skeletal hand said that your true body would return within three years. More than two years have passed already...”

But before he could finish his question, the tunnel’s power enveloped him, and he disappeared without a trace.

“Fuck!”

Su Yi was left speechless. All he could do was curse.

Meanwhile, atop the River of Spacetime.

The mysterious entrance disappeared completely.

A faint hint of helplessness appeared on Luo Yao’s face. She murmured to herself, “Daoist Brother, I’ll be sure to go see you...”

With that, her graceful figure transformed into a beam of light and shot into the distance, following the River of Spacetime. A blink of an eye later, she’d disappeared without a trace.

Boom!

Before long, the boundless River of Spacetime shook violently. The power of the countless Laws of the natural order ran rampant, and the river faded, becoming increasingly indistinct......

“Ultimately... I arrived one step too late!”

A low, dignified sigh rang out further down the river. A wave of divine flames surged forth, outlining a Buddha seated on a lotus platform.

That grave, dignified voice rang out once more. “But isn’t this still a good thing? At the very least... he’s revealed his location...”

A moment later, the River of Spacetime traversing the void disappeared completely. The Buddha standing atop a lotus platform disappeared with it.

All that remained was the darkness of an eternal night. As if everything that had happened earlier was simply an illusion.

......

The Starjade Forbidden Zone, the Endless Treasure Grounds.

“What happened? Why did the aura of the End of the Dharma disappear from the Endless Treasure Grounds!?”

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows let out a strange cry.

The others reacted similarly. Everyone here was a Void Realm True Immortal who’d come to seek out a path to life in the Starjade Forbidden Zone. They too noticed this sudden change.

The area had originally been blanketed in a sea of fog, but it was rapidly receding.

Furthermore, the calamitous power dispersed throughout the fog disappeared!

This change immediately alerted the Void Realm True Immortals. Soon, an old man in dark robes said in a quavering voice, “Everyone, can you sense traces of the Immortal Dao recovering too?”

The presence of the Immortal Dao!

All of a sudden, the old monsters could no longer remain calm. All of them focused their senses, and before long, every last one of them lit up with mad delight.

“That’s right! It really is the presence of the Immortal Dao! It’s as weak as could be, but that really is the power of the Laws of the Immortal Dao!” someone cried out exuberantly.

“Does that mean that the path to life we’ve been searching for is really about to appear?” someone murmured.

“That’s got to be it! That’s got to be it!” someone said, jumping up and down with excitement.

They were immortals who’d survived the End of the Dharma as revenants. To them, this change was no different from the descent of divine fortune. They finally saw hope of breaking free of their predicament!

There were once rumors that once the calamitous power of the Human Realm’s End of the Dharma dissipated fully, the Domain Boundary Battlefield would re-enter the world, and the path to the Immortal Realm would reappear!

“Are the rumors... about to come true?”

Some people went mad with delight, so excited that their breathing sped up.

Prior to the End of the Dharma, the Human and Immortal Realms were linked. Those who transcended into immortality could proceed to the Domain Boundary Battlefield and enter the Road to the Immortal Realm. Back then, experts of the Immortal Realm could descend into the Human Realm and walk amongst mortal men, too!

There were even some experts who didn’t wish to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Instead, they chose to live leisurely lives as immortals in the Human Realm.

But all of that changed after the End of the Dharma.

The Path of Transcendence was destroyed!

The Domain Boundary Battlefield disappeared!

The gates of the Immortal Realm closed, seemingly forever!

Not even the immortals scattered throughout the Human Realm escaped disaster. They suffered beneath the catastrophe as surely as the world’s other cultivators. Some perished beneath the catastrophe, while others were reduced to revenants, neither human nor ghost, and sank into a seemingly endless dormancy....

But now, changes were sweeping across the Human Realm. The Path of Transcendence had returned. Countless revenants were awakening from dormancy, and new Transcendents were arising one after another....

All of this unquestionably implied that a new golden age was imminent!

After surviving the utter destruction of the End of the Dharma, the Human Realm was giving rise to unprecedented new life!

When misfortune ended, good fortune was sure to follow!

Now, when they saw the lingering power of the End of the Dharma disappearing from the Starjade Forbidden Zone, and they sensed faint traces of the Laws of the Immortal Dao...

How could the old monsters present fail to realize what this meant?

In the months to come, the Laws of the Immortal Dao would reawaken completely, and the long-vanished Domain Boundary Battlefield would re-enter the world.

The Road to the Immortal Realm would appear soon after.

Combined, this was enough to resolve the Void Realm True Immortals’ predicament!

“We’re fortunate indeed. Fellow Daoist Su broke our curse. Otherwise, even if a new golden age began and the Immortal Dao reappeared... we wouldn’t have been able to seize this opportunity!” someone sighed.

His words immediately resonated with the others present.

With waves of emotion coursing through their heart, someone else murmured, “I actually suspect that Fellow Daoist Su is behind the changes we’re witnessing...”

“Suspect? Is there any room for doubt? Su Yi entered the Endless Treasure Grounds just yesterday. It’s been just one day, but the Endless Treasure Grounds have changed so dramatically. How could this possibly be a coincidence?” someone said with conviction.

“Fellow Daoist Su controls the power of reincarnation, the bane of the End of the Dharma. I’m certain that he’s the one who shattered the cursed power of the End of the Dharma, bringing about the onset of a brand-new era!” someone said, their gaze heated. “In other words, he single-handedly transformed the Human Realm!”

When Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows heard that, he could no longer hold back. He clapped his thigh and said wistfully, “All I can say now is... Had the heavens never borne His Excellency Su, the ages would all be as dark as an eternal night!”
