Chapter 1320 - A Nine-Colored Lotus Pod
Within Universal Emptiness Temple.
Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha looked at each other. Both were overcome with astonishment.
“Isn’t Fellow Daoist Su a bit too rash?” asked Sword Immortal Qingshi.
Wei Shan’s expression was deadpan, almost as if he'd seen something like this play out before. You’ll understand soon, Senior.”
Sword Immortal Qingshi fell silent. This guy sure knows how to whet the appetite.
“Do you have any divine recovery medicine on you?” Sword Immortal Qingshi asked the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha.
With the two of them here to keep watch, there was naturally no need to fear anything happening to Su Yi. However, they still couldn’t help but worry that he might get injured.
The Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha transmitted at lightning speeds, “I don’t have any recovery medicine, but I investigated earlier, and it turns out three of the Nine-Colored Lotus Pods I buried in the temple back then are still here. That should be enough for Fellow Daoist Su to use.”
Nine-Colored Lotus Pods!
Sword Immortal Qingshi gasped.
This was a supreme treasure of the Path of Transcendence, the type that could only be happened upon by chance. Even in ancient times, it was an unmatched divine elixir!
Even Cloud Soaring Realm Transcendents would have drooled over it!
“My, aren't you generous!” exclaimed Sword Immortal Qingshi.
But the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha shook his head. “Fellow Daoist Su gave us new life. Compared to that, what does a treasure or two matter?”
Sword Immortal Qingshi agreed deeply.
As the two of them conversed inside...
Outside the temple, Qin Hongyu was the first to step forth. “Very well. I’m willing to be the first to spar with you, Fellow Daoist. Let’s see who’s stronger!”
Her entire body was shrouded in dazzling, stinging, blood-red lightning. She looked as tyrannical and unrestrained as a demonic sovereign.
All eyes were instantly upon her.
“If I’m not mistaken, that woman is a Transcendent of Profound Yin Demon Mountain. In life, she was probably in the early-stage Dao Integration Realm. Currently... she’s most likely somewhere between the early and middle stage of the Nascent Divinity Realm,” Sword Immortal Qingshi commented softly.
On the Path of Transcendence, both Nascent Divinity and Dao Integration experts were called Transcendents.
Cloud Soaring experts, on the other hand, were called “Transcendent Monarchs.”
Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha said flatly, “If she dares use any unseemly, third-rate demonic treasures in this duel, I’ll kill every member of Profound Yin Demon Mountain that crosses my path going forward. I absolutely won’t show mercy.”
His calm tone made even Wei Shan’s heart quiver with fright. This monk sure is murderous!
In truth, although Wei Shan didn’t know it, in ancient times, everyone knew that the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha, in spite of his name, was not the kind to abstain from killing! Follow 𝒏ew stories at n𝒐velbin(.)com
On the contrary, he pursued the Dao of the Sword precisely because it was the most lethal.
“Indeed, we ought to do just that,” Sword Immortal Qingshi said with a nod.
“....” Wei Shan was stunned. He suddenly felt that compared to these two ancient experts, Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings like him were like children.
Meanwhile, all eyes converged on Su Yi and Qin Hongyu.
“If you please.” Su Yi drew the Sword of the Human Realm.
“Fellow Daoist, once the fighting begins, I won’t go easy on you. Furthermore, I cultivate a Demonist legacy. It’s extremely tyrannical and fierce. You’d best be careful,” Qin Hongyu warned him with a laugh.
Boom!
She swayed on her feet, then disappeared into thin air.
A moment later, she appeared directly before him, raised her crystalline fist, and swung it ruthlessly at Su Yi.
A punch, that’s all, but it burst with demonic flames. Blood-red lightning ran rampant, producing a tyrannical, seemingly impossible momentum.
Even just gazing upon it from afar, the World Kings felt suffocated, and their hearts and minds filled with terror as their expressions shifted. Is this... Is this the magnificent bearing of a Transcendent?
It really is terrifying!
But in the face of this attack, Su Yi didn’t so much as attempt to dodge. He simply swung his sword and clashed with her head-on.
Boom!
Flames spread throughout heaven and earth. Blood-colored lightning and sword qi swept outward from the point of impact, violently shaking everything throughout the surrounding area.
Universal Emptiness Temple stood there like an unmovable boulder.
Su Yi and Qin Hongyu clashed, then separated, standing a thousand feet apart.
Su Yi’s blue robes billowed around him. He was entirely uninjured.
“Impressive!” exclaimed Qin Hongyu.
Her fist could have slain any other World King with ease, yet now, it was useless against the “mere” mid-stage Oneness Realm Su Yi!
And that was in a head-on clash!
How could she not be surprised?
Meanwhile, the entire area boiled over. Cries of uproar arose on all sides.
“He blocked it?”
Countless people were dumbstruck.
“The rumors said that after his return, the Temple Master could slay Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings even in the Heavenly Longevity Realm. At the time, I didn’t believe it, but now, it seems the rumors weren’t at all exaggerated. On the contrary, they underestimated him!” an older-generation expert murmured in a quavering voice.
Recently, the Temple Master’s strength had become an extremely popular topic of discussion. All sorts of rumors were circulating. Some even said you couldn’t judge the Temple Master’s strength by his cultivation.
As the crowd witnessed this exchange, many of them started to believe it!
Otherwise, how could they explain a Oneness Realm World King fending off a Transcendent?
“No wonder the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect suffered such a devastating loss. The Temple Master is this terrifying even without the power of reincarnation. Were he to use the power of reincarnation on top of all this... how strong would he be?”
The other revenants were startled, and they started re-evaluating Su Yi’s strength.
“Interesting.”
Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha looked at each other. Their curiosity hadn’t disappeared. On the contrary, it was even greater than before.
As the onlookers were in uproar, Su Yi and Qin Hongyu began a fierce competition.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were in turmoil. Fire and light scattered.
The onlookers had long since fled further away. All they could see was the demonic flames rising from Qing Hongyu as her majesty shook the heavens. Her every punch through heaven and earth into disarray, as if they couldn’t withstand her first force.
But Su Yi drew even more attention!
He swung his sword, quick as lightning or a beam of flowing light. This was obviously the power of the World King Realm, yet he and Qin Hongyu were evenly matched.
Sword hums swept forth in waves, and sword qi burst forth like a tidal wave or avalanche. Illusory swords filled the sky, and endless sword light rose into the firmament. He was so forceful and domineering that it left the onlookers wide-eyed with shock.
They couldn’t even imagine how a Oneness Realm cultivator could possess such heaven-defying combat prowess. This completely overturned their perception of reality!
When she realized that even after all this, she couldn’t take Su Yi down, Qin Hongyu frowned and decided to stop holding anything back.
Meanwhile, Su Yi’s will to fight had already fully caught ablaze.
Upon stepping into the Oneness realm, his strength already surpassed the half-step Transcendent Temple Master.
Not long ago, in the Impermeable Demon Ocean, Su Yi reached the middle stage of the Oneness Realm after drinking a jug of Daoist Master Red Cloud’s wine.
By now, even he wasn’t sure just how strong he’d become!
This was because he could no longer find worthy opponents within the World King Realm.
Without anyone to compare himself against, Su Yi naturally had no way to gauge his combat prowess accurately.
But now, he’d found a good opponent. An opponent who put greater pressure on him than anyone ever had before!
This stirred his blood, qi, and essence, practically setting it ablaze. Within his body, his Grand Dao Furnace rumbled as if boiling over, and his will to fight reached unprecedented heights.
He really wasn’t using the power of reincarnation. Instead, he fought with the Laws of Flying Light and Restricting the Profound.
The Laws of Flying Light were all about speed. His sword struck, fast as light, so quick it seemed like it was teleporting.
But this time, his opponent was different. She was a Transcendent revenant, and her aura was sufficient to suppress the Laws of Flying Light, slowing Su Yi’s strikes considerably.
However, Qin Hongyu’s attacks were restricted too.
Every time she attacked with full force, Su Yi used the Laws of Restricting the Profound to push back. This power of the Grand Dao restricted the surrounding area, as well as his opponent’s power of the Laws.
Although Qin Hongyu’s cultivation was far beyond the bounds of the World King Realm, she couldn’t avoid the effects of the Laws of Restricting the Profound completely. This gave Su Yi ample room to maneuver!
“Hm?” The look on Qin Hongyu’s pretty face shifted. She suddenly discovered that the longer the battle raged on, the more valiantly Su Yi fought. Even his aura was slowly rising.
Is he using me as a whetstone to temper himself and excavate his potential? Her eyes flashed with cold light. I can’t let this go on any longer.
Boom!
Her slender, graceful figure rose to its full height, and demonic flames surged around her. The terrifying image of a horde of rampaging demons appeared reflected behind her.
This time, when she punched, the air burst, offering no more resistance than paper mache. Dazzling fist light ripped through the skies like a red beam.
This punch was obviously far more powerful than the last!
Within Universal Emptiness Temple, Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha’s gazes instantly focused. Both of them prepared to intervene if need be.
Throughout the surrounding area, many of the onlookers’ hearts were on tenterhooks.
Who could miss that Qin Hongyu was already using the strongest killer move at her disposal?
Even Su Yi caught a whiff of a potentially lethal threat.
He no longer hid his abilities, instead activating the Laws of Profound Ruin without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the Sword of the Human Realm rose into the air, as if bringing with it the blue skies. Radiance reminiscent of the light of a new dawn surged within its sword qi.
This was a supreme Law of the Grand Dao from the River of Destiny. In terms of unfathomability and difficulty of comprehension, it wasn’t in any way inferior to the mysteries of reincarnation.
And its power was far beyond the Laws of Flying Light and Restricting the Profound!
When this slash burst forth, everyone present felt more astonished than ever before. It was as if they’d watched a vast blue sky rise with the edge of a sword, bringing with it mysteries upon mysteries, immeasurably grand.
Boom——!
Sword and fist clashed, as if the blood-red light bearing through heaven and earth had clashed with the blue dome of the sky. A terrifying energy current instantly spread from the point of impact.
Heaven and earth dimmed, and the landscape was in turmoil. The skies cracked and split on all sides, the rifts patterned like a spider’s web.
And within that rampaging destructive power, both Qin Hongyu and Su Yi were forced ruthlessly back.
Qin Hongyu’s body was in complete chaos. She was a revenant, so she was a soul body to begin with. After this enormous setback, her entire body was churning violently.
Especially her right arm; that terrifying sword qi had reduced it to powder!
Su Yi faced her, his blue robes in tatters and his hair disheveled. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and his handsome face had paled.
Qin Hongyu’s fist force had been unbelievably tyrannical. It injured Su Yi, almost scattering much of his blood and qi.
When the crowd saw this, complete silence ensued. Even the birds fell silent. The onlookers’ jaws hung slack, and their eyes widened with astonishment.
That had been Qin Hongyu’s ultimate killer move, but.... Su Yi had blocked it in a direct confrontation!
Even the revenants gasped; they found this unbelievable. He’d actually contended with a Transcendent revenant as a Oneness Realm World King. That was unprecedented enough already, a nigh unattainable miracle.
But that wasn’t all. Su Yi had actually severely injured his opponent!
It was utterly flabbergasting.
Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha looked at each other, stunned. Each saw the unconcealed astonishment on the other’s face.
Fellow Daoist Su is so strong it’s downright unreasonable!
