First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1488 - Five Aggregates Stone

In the Second Battleground, everyone was in the Dao Integration Realm. That made the rules of the hunt fair.

Besides, this was the Western Chill Star Domain’s main base, and there were numerous Dao Integration experts around eyeing Su Yi hungrily.

Even if they couldn’t beat him, they could just seek refuge within Western Chill City.

It was for this reason that the Dao Integration experts were all eager to get to him first. Furthermore, they were completely fearless, with no reservations whatsoever.

All they could think about was beating their competition to the punch. They wanted to see who could kill their prey first!

The life and death of their target didn’t matter, but the competition was thrilling.

This was the joy of hunting!

Alas, although they didn’t know it, even though their prey’s cultivation was on par with theirs, his strength...

Was enough to cut down immortals in the Human Realm!

Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of mockery. He waved his sleeves, and...

Boom! freewebnøvel.com

The seven Dao Integration cultivators rushing at him from all sides exploded with a bang, their bodies exploding into bits. Blood and flesh sprayed in all directions.

The crowd was stunned. Without exception, their eyes widened in disbelief.

A single swing of his sleeves, and he wiped out seven Dao Integration cultivators!?

Who is this guy? How could he be so terrifying?

Su Yi disregarded all of this. He just looked around, then raised his right hand.

Weng!

A three-foot streak of sword qi condensed in the palm of his hand.

It was crystalline and translucent, and it shone with faint, blue-gray chaotic luster. All manner of mysterious powers of the Grand Dao seethed within it.

When Su Yi raised and swung his hand, three feet of sword qi suddenly expanded until it was ten thousand feet long, like a beam of light cleaving through heaven and earth.

The air split, and everyone felt a stinging pain in their eyes.

“Quick, hide——!!”

Alarmed cries rang out, but they were one step too late.

Boom!

That slash descended, and terrifying sword intent swept forth like a tidal wave or avalanche, then spread outward with a bang.

Everything between Su Yi and the distant gates of Western Chill City was completely enveloped in explosive, turbulent sword qi.

Shouts, shrieks, mournful wails, and infuriated roars rose and fell.

But soon, they came to an abrupt halt.

One beam of blood-colored light after another flashed amidst the turbulent sword qi. It was like a series of firecrackers going off in rapid succession, splattering piping hot, blood-red flame.

When the sword qi dissipated, an unfathomably deep, perfectly straight rift had appeared on the ground, stretching all the way to the gates of Western Chill City.

There’d originally been a large group of Dao Integration Realm experts standing outside the city gates. Now, all that remained of them were puddles of blood and scattered fragments of treasure.

One slash, and he’d massacred every enemy present! This terrifying scene drew frantic shrieks from within the city walls.

With the power of the Laws protecting them, the force of that slash didn’t reach the cultivators inside the city.

But witnessing this left them scared out of their wits. All of them trembled from head to toe, overcome with fright.

Meanwhile, off in the distance, Su Yi took a sip of wine, his expression as calm as ever. “If you want to get revenge, I’ll come again in three days, on the Night of the Blood Moon.”

With that, Su Yi turned to leave. The crowd just watched as he faded into the distance. None of them dared to intercept him!

Before long, all of Western Chill City was in uproar. The cultivators spread throughout city limits soon learned of the bloodshed just outside their gates, and all of them were up in arms.

“When did someone so ferocious appear in Eastern Profound City?”

“That bastard! How dare he threaten us? If he really dares show his face in three days, there’s no way I’ll let him off!”

“Calm down. That guy’s cultivation is far too terrifying. We have to make arrangements first. We cannot lower our guards!”

“Quick, spread the word! Tell all of our allies to return to Western Chill City immediately!”

......

That very day, the same bloody scene that had unfolded at Western Chill City repeated itself at Northern Abyss and Southern Flame Cities.

Su Yi fought all alone, cutting down a group of experts at each of the three cities. After displaying his strength, he declared war on all three cities!

Northern Abyss City was in uproar.

Southern Flame City was up in arms, too.

That very day, all three cities ordered every expert out seeking good fortune in the Second Battleground to return.

“Three days from now, if that madman dares come back, we’ll make sure he never leaves!” someone said with seething murderous intent.

“If he dares show up on the night of the blood moon, I’ll block his retreat and beat the crap out of him!” someone said with a cold laugh.

“He’s just one person, yet he dared declare war against us all. He’s simply seeking death!” someone said, overcome with fury. “Three days from now, we’ve got to send our people to Eastern Profound City and wipe the prey there out!”

The other three star domains’ camps had no shortage of top Dao Integration Realm experts. Practically all of them were all but invincible within their level of cultivation, and their combat prowess was heaven-defying.

After learning of Su Yi’s declaration of war, these unrivaled figures immediately took action, gathering their forces and arranging a deathtrap.

Just like that, a storm started brewing.

Su Yi, meanwhile, was already on his way back to Eastern Profound City.

He’d considered staying within city limits and meeting his opponents here, but in the end, he rejected the idea.

His reasons were simple: if he did so, he wouldn’t be able to lure all of his enemies out of their nest. He’d also be in far too passive a situation.

In contrast, taking the initiative to attack would give him an opportunity to take them all out at once.

A monk could hide, but if he couldn’t leave the temple, his enemies would find him sooner or later.

To the Dao Integration Realm cultivators of the other three star domains, their cities were their “temples!” ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Three days from now, when the blood moon rose, Su Yi would just enter their cities and destroy them there.

Of course, it was entirely possible that some of his enemies would leave their cities beforehand, but that would have little impact on the overall situation.

Furthermore, Su Yi dared say with certainty that his enemies wouldn’t run. No, it was much more likely that they’d gather up their experts, set a death trap, and wait for him!

That was human nature!

After all, each camp had an enormous number of experts. Even Southern Flame City had around five hundred Dao Integration experts.

Western Chill City had the greatest numbers. There were around eight hundred people there! Given that they’d be up against just one enemy, who’d flee their home base before the fighting even began?

When Su Yi returned to Eastern Profound City, he found those Eastern Profound Star Domain experts.

“All of you should get ready. Three days from now, come with me to attack our enemies’ home bases,” said Su Yi.

“You’re fighting them on their home turf?” a tall, stalwart man exclaimed.

The others looked at each other too; Su Yi’s idea left them stunned.

Only Zhan Yun, the woman most eager for revenge, didn’t even pause to think. “Good!”

“Your Excellency Su, isn’t this.. A bit reckless?” that old man said tentatively, carefully choosing his words. “After all, if anything goes wrong, we... are likely to become burdens to you.”

Su Yi shook his head. “From my perspective, the Second Battleground has some good fortune not available outside, but that aside, there’s nothing here worth lingering for. Before long, I’ll head for the First Battleground. I naturally ought to clear your path for you first.”

“....”

The crowd only just now realized that Su Yi was doing things this way because he was in a hurry!

“Very well. This old man is willing to risk himself to accompany you, Your Excellency Su!” that old man said solemnly.

It wasn’t long before the others followed suit. All of them knew that three days from now, on the Night of the Blood Moon, they’d be doomed even if they chose to remain behind.

Better to accompany Su Yi and risk it all!

Once everything was settled, Su Yi found a place and sat cross-legged.

“This is Five Aggregates Stone? No wonder they call it one of the most wondrous treasures of the Second Battleground.”

Su Yi held a thumb-sized piece of jade in front of his eyes and examined it closely.

It was pale gold throughout and as shiny as nephrite. Resplendent misty light surged like the tides within it, and it was as light as a feather.

This was Five Aggregates Stone, a wondrous treasure born of the Second Battleground. It was nowhere to be found in the outside world.

When cultivators refined this treasure, they could temper their foundations in the Dao, strengthening and boosting their cultivation.

But its greatest wondrous application lay in refining the power of the soul. Its effects on the soul were simply unbelievable.

It could even enhance a cultivator’s powers of comprehension, stimulating and excavating their latent potential!

Treasures like this were a rare sight even in the Immortal Realm.

Su Yi had slain numerous enemies today, and his trophies included a dozen-or-so pieces of Five Aggregates Stone, including the one he was now holding.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That night.

A blood-red full moon shone against the inky black sky, like the eye of a devil gazing down upon the world below. It was a strange, unsettling sight.

The power of the Laws covering Eastern Profound, Northern Abyss, Southern Flame, and Western Chill Cities gradually receded as the blood moon rose.

Dense, baleful qi permeated heaven and earth.

This was the Night of the Blood Moon.

These nights only came once a month!

“The blood moon has risen. I wonder whether that madman will really dare show up or not.”

A group of Dao Integration cultivators were stationed atop the towering walls of Western Chill City.

Over the past three days, Western Chill City had called its dispersed experts back into city limits.

Under the arrangements of their ten or so top experts, they’d thoroughly covered the city in layers of killing formations!

Everyone was convinced that a deathtrap like this would be more than enough to destroy even a Cloud Soaring expert beyond a shadow of a doubt!

“If he doesn’t come, we can just kill our way into Eastern Profound City and wipe them out down to the last man!” someone said, their gaze cold and cruel.

Over the past three days, the close to eight hundred cultivators of Western Chill City had suppressed bellies full of fire. Their hatred for Su Yi ran bone deep.

When the blood moon took to the skies, it tinged the night skies crimson.

Dense, baleful mists hovered in the air, enshrouding both heaven and earth in an oppressive atmosphere.

Suddenly, the distant mists churned, and a group shot toward them.

Its leader was none other than Su Yi. Twenty or so other Eastern Profound City cultivators trailed after him.

“That guy’s really here!”

“He even brought the other Eastern Profound City cultivators... was he afraid killing him wouldn’t be enough for us?”

The cultivators atop the walls of Western Chill City immediately sensed the disturbance. One of them crushed a message talisman.

Bang!

A beam of firelight soared into the heavens.

Immediately afterward, countless arcs of light shot into the air from all across the city.

The entire city was instantly radiant and resplendent.

It was the middle of the night, but the skies were as bright as they were at midday!
