First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1364 - It’s a Good Sword, but Its Wielder Is Lacking

The sword formation circulated with a boom. Immortal light blanketed heaven and earth.

Everyone felt chills course down their spines. Their faces filled with astonishment.

Who could have imagined that the Yun Family had placed such a terrifying sword formation of the Immortal Dao over their territory?

“Over the years, we’ve seldom gotten mixed up in worldly disputes. Perhaps we really have kept too low a profile. Today, we’ll use the Temple Master’s death to prove our strength to the world!” Yun Huantian said coldly.

A moment later, he laughed. “Of course, we couldn’t have used the Thirty-Six Unparalleled Immortal Swords Formation to trap the Temple Master without your help. Once he’s dead, we’ll naturally share the secrets of reincarnation with the Profound Divinity Sword House.”

Here, he bowed to Wei Changfu and Ruan Caizhi. Both of them smiled.

Meanwhile, the Yun Family experts completely boiled over with excitement.

“No matter how heaven-defying the Temple Master is, he’ll die a miserable death inside!”

“After the battle atop the Violet Heavens Platform, he shines as brilliantly as the midday sun. Now, the thas cfor his radiance to dim and wither!”

“I can already picture the enormous waves of uproar that will ensue when the masses learn of the Temple Master’s demise at our clan’s hands!”

All of them were venting their emotions, and they spoke without reservation, mocking Su Yi freely.

Even the groom, Yun Chaofeng, couldn’t help but throw back his head and laugh. “This is the man they called an eternal god? Feh! In front of the Yun Family, he’s no more than a clay chicken or a porcelain dog we can slaughter as we please!”

The distant guests saw this, but they couldn’t help but sink into silence.

Earlier, the Temple Master had been unparalleled in his domineeringness. It was as if no one else were even here.

But in the blink of an eye, he was trapped within a formation, effectively reduced to a beast in a cage.

Perhaps this was an example of the impermeable nature of worldly affairs.

“The Temple Master… is not dead yet!” Li Zhong’s cold snort reverberated throughout heaven and earth.

Everyone instinctively turned to look.

There, within the sword formation, they saw churning waves of energy. Thirty-six immortal swords danced and swayed. Forceful, electric light scattered, relentlessly assailing Su Yi. Every strike was incomparably terrifying.

Yet Su Yi blocked them all!

He flitted about as if he were teleporting, repeatedly swinging the Sword of the Human Realm and blocking one perilous, unpredictable strike after another.

It seemed as if he were dodging repeatedly, and at a glance, he seemed incomparably wretched. But in truth, the formation hadn’t so much as harmed a single hair on his head!

This scene left countless onlookers tongue-tied.

Even Yun Changhong, Yun Huantian, and the others couldn’t help but look solemn.

They’d sought out too many Transcendent-level divine materials to count, all to place this formation, but that wasn’t all! They’d even used numerous divine materials of the Immortal Dao!

It wasn’t as powerful as if a true immortal were controlling it, but killing Cloud Soaring Realm Transcendents was still well within the bounds of possibility.

Yet now, despite being thoroughly trapped, Su Yi was still alive! The formation didn’t kill him immediately!

This was truly unexpected.

“Don’t forget that during the battle of the Violet Heavens Platform, ten-plus Cloud Soaring Realm experts joined forces with Fu Dongli, a descendant of immortals. Even then, they couldn’t capture Su Yi. It shouldn’t be surprising that he’s managed to hold out this long,” laughed Wei Changfu. “Perhaps this damaged Immortal Dao sword formation won’t be enough to take down the Temple Master. Still, if we want him dead… that won’t be difficult, now will it?”

“Today, we’ll show the Temple Master the strength of the sect-protecting immortal treasure of the Profound Divinity Sword House!”

With that, his smile receded, and his expression filled with solemn piety.

“Activate!”

A Daoist invocation rang out, clear as a bell. It reverberated throughout the air around Wei Changfu.

The purple sword case behind him suddenly rumbled and clanged. Radiant light burst around it, linking heaven and earth and tinging the entire area a deep, beautiful shade of purple.

Then, an immortal sword rose into the air.

The crowd suddenly felt as if a blazing purple sun were rising into the air. Its radiance illuminated everything in all directions, both the nine heavens and the ten earths.

Terrifying sword force suppressed and collapsed the skies, throwing the mountains and rivers into disarray.

Even Goldendawn Divine Mountain itself swayed beneath his feet.

The crowd felt their scalps go numb, and their hearts quivered.

Never mind the World Kings, even the Transcendents couldn’t help but gasp as they sensed the pressure bearing down on them. Their whole bodies instinctively tensed.

Yun Huantian looked impressed. “Is that your sect’s famous sword, Divine Purple?”

Beneath the dof heaven, there fell a waterfall of purple immortal light. A Dao Sword hovered within it, like an incomparably radiant streak of purple lightning. Its radiance shook both heaven and earth.

The crowd was stunned, and their hearts quivered in fright. This was a true immortal weapon!

“So, it’s that sword…” Li Zhong’s pupils constricted, and his heart was on tenterhooks.

Divine Purple, one of the ultimate treasures of the Profound Divinity Sword House. Rumor had it that several of the sect’s immortals in the human realm had worked together to forge it. The day they completed it, the humming of the sword spread beyond the nine heavens, and its glow blotted out the sun. For three uninterrupted days and three nights, misty purple light fell like rain!

This was a true immortal weapon. The glint of its edge was so sharp as to cut down all foes beneath the Immortal Dao!

Way back in ancient times, the Profound Divinity Sword House used this very sword to slaughter countless powerful foes. In doing so, the sword’s reputation spread far and wide.

Now, after countless years of dormancy, this sword entered the world once more, revealing itself atop the Yun Family’s Goldendawn Divine Mountain!

Wei Changfu took in the crowd’s astonished gazes. He couldn’t help but smile as he stretched out his hand and beckoned.

Divine Purple shot toward him like a beam of purple lightning and landed in his outstretched palm.

“Everyone, please watch as I force the Temple Master to his knees. Listen to his wails, and bear witness as he pays for his crimes with his life,” Wei Changfu said leisurely.

As he spoke, he stepped into the air and entered the formation. The crowd’s hearts clenched, and they watched with bated breath, afraid to miss even the slightest detail.

But to their astonishment, the trapped Su Yi suddenly said, “I advise you to put that sword away. You’re better off not using it.”

Wei Changfu couldn’t help but smile. “So, you too know fear, Temple Master? And here I thought you truly had no fear of death!” His voice was rife with dense mockery.

Su Yi was currently locked in a fierce battle with the power of the formation, but when he heard that, he frowned. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect that sword. It’d be a shif it were destroyed.”

Wei Changfu instantly found this absurd, and he burst into laughter as if he’d just heard an enormous joke. “Oh? Con then! Destroy it for me!”

With that, he gripped the sword and charged at Su Yi.

Su Yi sighed to himself. It’s a good sword, but its wielder….

He made no attempt to block.

Outsiders might have thought that his reaction was proof of his inability to fight back. It seemed as if he could only sit and wait to die.

Yun Changhong, Yun Huantian, and the others couldn’t help but gaze at him pityingly.

But it was then that——

An illusory sword shot out of Su Yi and rose into the air! Unsurpassed sword force swept outward.

The Sword of the Nine Hells had cout to feed!

Before the crowd could react, they heard an explosion. The thirty-six unparalleled immortal swords of the formation exploded, scattering like scrap metal. Immediately afterward, the entire formation broke, as if crumbling beneath the pressure!

The explosive power of the formation swept outward, like the waters of the river of heaven bursting through a dam. Goldendawn Divine Mountain seemed unable to bear the impact; boulders tumbled down its slopes, and buildings caved in.

Startled cries rang out, rising and falling in waves. Numerous Yun clansmen, as well as servants, didn’t even have tto flee before the torrent of destruction swept over them. They died brutally on the spot.

When this destructive power swept outward, the entire Yun Family estate was severely damaged. After all, this was a formation of the Immortal Dao. When it exploded, how could its power possibly be ordinary?

Sof the World Kings couldn’t flee in time. They too were destroyed, their souls scattered. Their agonized, desperate shrieks echoed through the air.

Meanwhile, at the place the formation broke, Divine Purple shook violently and wailed.

Divine Purple was one of the core treasures of the Profound Divinity Sword House, yet now, it quivered like a mouse upon meeting a cat. It shook so hard that it broke free of Wei Changfu’s grip and attempted to flee.

But within moments, it was suppressed!

The illusory Sword of the Nine Heavens gently tapped the air. That was all it did, but Divine Purple proceeded to shatter, inch by inch. Finally, it transformed into a rain of light, which the illusory Sword of the Nine Hells devoured.

It didn’t waste so much as a drop.

Su Yi had long since grown accustomed to this. He was already numb to it.

But Wei Changfu coughed up a mouthful of blood. He shrieked, looking absolutely stricken. “How is this possible!?”

Divine Purple’s destruction had made him suffer a severe backlash.

“I told you to put the sword away, but you refused to listen.” Su Yi shook his head.

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he disappeared. A moment later, he appeared directly in front of Wei Changfu.

The Sword of the Human Realm descended, filling the skies with visions of reincarnation. These visions included a wisp of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ aura!

It had only just devoured a treasure of the Immortal Dao. How could it refuse to help after enjoying such a feast?

After all, Wei Changfu was a Cloud Soaring Realm powerhouse. Sure, he’d suffered a backlash, leaving him wounded. Even so, he was far from comparable to Dao Integration Realm revenants.

During the battle atop the Violet Heavens Platform, Su Yi fought numerous Cloud Soaring Realm powerhouses. He naturally knew full well that he’d struggle to defeat an opponent of this level without the Sword of the Nine Hells!

Boom!!!

The Samsara Domain appeared, then descended upon Wei Changfu.

The Cloud Soaring Realm powerhouse obviously sensed the danger. He immediately fought back with all his might, not daring to hold anything back.

Even so, moments later, his defenses broke. The power of reincarnation enveloped him, reducing him to ash.

When the Immortal Dao sword formation first fell, the venue was already in chaos. Yun Changhong, Yun Huantian, and the others were both alarmed and furious.

But when Su Yi slew Wei Changfu in a single slash, it felt like a sudden thunderbolt striking them on a clear day.

“This…”

“How is this possible!?”

“How did he destroy Divine Purple!?”

…Astonished cries rose on all sides. Countless people felt their hair stand on end.

All of these developments took place far too quickly. First, the Immortal Dao sword formation broke. Then, Divine Purple shattered, and Wei Changfu broke. All of this happened in just a few blinks of an eye!

This caught everyone completely off guard!

When they saw Su Yi’s tall, upright figure break free of the formation, they all felt as if they were dreaming. It just didn’t seem real.

A moment prior, he’d been a beast in a case.

A moment later, he'd broken free and turned the situation on its head!

I just knew the Temple Master wouldn’t die so easily! Waves coursed through Li Zhong’s heart. He, too, watched with wide eyes and a slackened jaw. It seemed unbelievable, as if he’d just watched a miracle play out in front of him.

Meanwhile, Su Yi was like a dragon escaping captivity and soaring into the heavens. He immediately launched a massacre.

Boom!

The edge of his sword turned. Dazzling immortal light swept forth, destroying the Yun Family experts closest to him.

Including the groom, Yun Changhong’s second son, Yun Chaofeng.

Earlier, he had contemptuously proclaimed the Temple Master a “clay chicken” and a “porcelain dog they could slaughter as they pleased!”

Yet now, he’d been cut down as if he were no more noteworthy than chives, dying brutally without so much as drawing a single glance from Su Yi.

Su Yi shot through the rain of blood, quick as lightning, and charged at Yun Changhong.

His sword intent and bloodlust boiled over, shaking the heavens!
