First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1106 - Like a God Standing Tall at the Center of Heaven and Earth

When that streak of sword qi fell, Martial Heaven Peak rumbled and boomed.

Unstoppable sword qi slammed into the formations covering the slopes. Their power trembled violently, and misty light swept outward. The formations seemed like they wouldn’t last much longer.

The Emperors of the Five Great Daoist Sects, the ones manning the formations, each suffered the resulting impact. Their blood and qi churned, and despite themselves, their expressions shifted.

What a terrifying strike!

After all, the formations covering Martial Heaven Peak were enough to trap and kill even Profound Unity Emperors, yet now, a single slash had almost ripped right through them!

They had no time to give the matter any further thought. All of them circulated the formations with everything they had. Only then did they gradually neutralize the destructive power of that slash.

The severely injured Pi Mo broke out in cold sweats, and his heart beat violently in his chest.

He didn’t even need to think to know that even if he’d risked everything to block that slash, he couldn’t possibly have survived!

Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval, and the distant onlookers were completely dumbstruck. All of them were astonished.

Pi Mo reached his limit before blocking three strikes. He had no choice but to seek refuge within the formations!

Su Yi’s display of abilities impressed everyone present. They couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.

And when they took in Pi Mo’s miserable, injured state, the thought of how he’d provoked and slandered his master earlier now seemed utterly absurd.

“And this is why they call people like you bumbling clowns.” The Skythorn Poison Emperor jeered disdainfully.

Although most of the fossils in attendance hadn’t said anything, their hearts shook too. A long time passed before they managed to calm themselves.

The Swordmaster of Abstruse Force’s three strikes were enough to cut down even early-stage Profound Unity Emperors. They were terrifying beyond limit!

After all, Pi Mo’s combat prowess was far beyond most others of the same realm!

“Peak Profound Illumination Realm cultivation, that’s all, yet he can defeat an early-stage Profound Unity expert. Just how unbelievable a path is His Excellency Su seeking after his reincarnation...?” Yan Suni was rooted to the spot.

She too was a sword cultivator, and the people of the Wilds saw her as a lady sword immortal unmatched in her generation.

Yet now, she too felt as if she were staring up a towering, insurmountable mountain.

Meanwhile, Jin Kui, Ye Luo, and the others were delighted. That Pi Mo had been so brazen and arrogant earlier only made his defeat all the more shameful!

“Now do you think I’m worthy of you calling upon your trump cards?” Su Yi asked plainly from beneath the dome of heaven. He gazed at the distant Pi Mo without the slightest ripple of emotion.

“Master, you’re celebrating prematurely.” Within the formations of Martial Heaven Peak, Pi Mo took a deep breath, and his eyes shone with renewed determination. “Today’s battle has only just begun!”

His clothing was stained with blood, and his body was covered in wounds, but it seemed he didn’t care in the least. He said with staunch determination, “I told you I’d send you on your way personally. I naturally won’t go back on my word!”

Here, he waved his hand. “Activate the formations!”

Boom!

The Emperors of the Five Great Daoist Sects circulated the formations with all their might. Arc after arc of divine lightning instantly soared into the sky.

Shockingly, the entirety of Martial Heaven Peak seemed to light ablaze. A mad flood of spiritual energy burst forth, but all of it fused into the formations.

The formations’ power rapidly soared!

“Impressive, Pi Mo! You actually used the spirit vein of the mountain’s source to power your formations!” One of the old monsters looked stunned.

Martial Heaven Peak was one of the most famous blessed grounds of the Wilds. The spirit vein that served as its source contained boundless power, enough to sustain a peak orthodoxy’s cultivation.

Yet now, Pi Mo went so far as to drain the mountain’s source, all to maximize the formations’ power. Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

The distant onlookers looked at each other in astonishment. Pi Mo’s extravagance astonished them.

The entire stretch of heaven and earth seemed to light ablaze as the energy fluctuations of the formation enveloped it. Light illuminated the ten directions. It was like a vision of the apocalypse.

Even a fossil like the Skythorn Poison Emperor looked stunned. Fully activated, the formations’ power was enough to startle even him!

Su Yi took all of this in, but he subtly shook his head.

Martial Heaven Peak was the base of the Abstruse Force Alliance, yet Pi Mo was now using it as his trump card. It was clear that he had few cards left up his sleeves.

Without any further delays, Su Yi walked through the sky and swung his sword at the formation.

“Kill!” Pi Mo bellowed from within the formation, shaking the heavens.

“Kill!” The formation circulated with a bang. Countless talisman markings surged forth like the tide, transforming into arcs of radiant firelight and throwing the entire stretch of heaven and earth into chaos.

And Su Yi was completely enveloped in the power of the formation!

Many of the onlookers couldn’t help but sweat on Su Yi’s behalf. Were someone else to encounter this unparalleled killing formation, they’d fear nothing more than failing to escape in time. But Su Yi was different. Shockingly, it seemed he wasn’t at all afraid. He was actually charging right in!

“Master, oh, Master. You really haven’t changed, not one bit. You know full well that danger lies ahead, yet here you are, jumping right in...” Pi Mo said wistfully.

He’d anticipated this. He knew his master’s personality. In the face of a killing formation like this, most people would shrink back, but Su Yi most certainly wouldn’t.

Pi Mo issued orders without the slightest hesitation. “Everyone, activate its full power. Let my master taste the strength of the Heaven’s Demise World-Refining Formation!”

Boom!

Lightning rumbled and thunder boomed within the formation. Firelight scattered, manifesting all manner of unbelievable phenomena. All of them swept toward Su Yi.

Pi Mo watched coldly from the sidelines as he took healing medicine and treated his wounds.

The Heaven’s Demise World-Refining Formation was comprised of seventy-two Profound Illumination Emperors, twenty-four Profound Serenity Emperors, and three early-stage Profound Unity Emperors circulating their power in unison. Furthermore, it was built on a foundation of the Laws of Spirit Nirvana, and the spirit vein of Marital Heaven Peak served as its power source!

The way Pi Mo saw it, anyone beneath the Imperial Apex Realm was sure to find themselves trapped and refined into nothingness, their bodies and Daos destroyed!

The distant onlookers were more nervous than ever before, and their hearts were on tenterhooks.

The formation was truly terrifying. Gazing upon it from afar, even the Emperors amongst the crowd felt their hair stand on end, and they even felt suffocated.

They couldn’t even imagine how much pressure Su Yi, the one right in the middle of the formation, was under!

“Not bad. This is a bit interesting. At least... you didn’t disappoint me too badly.” Within the formation, the depths of Su Yi’s gaze silently blazed with the will to fight.

He rose to his full height and circulated the full extent of his cultivation base. His strength soared to its upper limit.

His entire body was bathed in radiant Dao Light. This gave him a newfound, overflowing majesty of the Grand Dao.

Clang!!!

Moonlit Shadow let out a long hum, as if longing to feast on fresh blood.

The Laws of Oblivion permeated its blade, as if an endless abyss had appeared on its edge. Then, Su Yi swung his sword.

Boom!

A ten-thousand-foot art of dim sword qi swept forth, like an abyss devouring the firmament.

The power of the formation descended on all sides, only to pop like soap bubbles, like dimming flames going out beneath the power of Su Yi’s slash!

The entire formation shook violently as it took severe damage.

The Emperors working together to circulate the formation were stunned, and their scalps went numb.

They’d all guessed that the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force’s reincarnation wouldn’t be so easy to kill. That was why they unleashed the strongest power this formation had to offer right from the start.

Who’d have thought they’d still underestimated Su Yi’s terrifyingness?

One slash, and he broke through the power bearing down on him from all sides!

This was unquestionably far too terrifying!

Pi Mo’s pupils constricted, and his heart shook. He immediately bellowed, “Don’t get distracted! The moment my master seizes a weak spot, the formation is sure to break!”

In truth, there was no need for this warning. After witnessing Su Yi’s heaven-defying strength, who among those Emperors would dare be negligent?

Every one of them went all out, holding nothing back!

A grand battle broke out.

The entire stretch of heaven and earth swayed violently. Daoist invocations shook the skies, and divine flames ran rampant.

The aftershock of the battle alone flattened the surrounding area, reducing both boulders and vegetation to ash.

The distant onlookers’ hearts quivered with lingering terror. They inwardly celebrated that they’d moved further away before this grand battle began. They dared not imagine what would have happened otherwise!

Meanwhile, within the formation, Su Yi swung his sword in rapid succession. Each streak of sword qi and each slash contained unstoppable power. His attacks crushed the formation’s power. They seemed utterly unstoppable!

Indeed, as he attacked, the formation took damage over and over again!

The Emperors’ expressions were grimmer than ever before, and they inwardly both alarmed and furious.

None of them had anticipated that ninety-nine Emperors working in unison to run an unparalleled killing formation, going so far as to burn the source of Martial Heaven Peak, still wouldn’t be enough to suppress and kill Su Yi. He was just one person!

No, they weren't just not taking him down. Their formation was repeatedly being suppressed!

Pi Mo watched from afar, his hands silently clenching and his steely face shifting erratically. There was no doubt about it; he too was struggling to stay calm.

Suddenly, Su Yi’s calm but slightly rueful voice emanated from within the formation. “It’s just a pity about Martial Heaven Peak.”

Before the crowd could come to their senses, Su Yi soared into the air and shifted his grip on Moonlit Shadow. The edge pointed down, then suddenly descended.

Like a deity placing a divine monument in the depths of purgatory.

As this slash descended, its sword intent swept toward the formation from all sides.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out.

Pi Mo saw the Heaven’s Demise World-Refining Formation as his trump card, and ninety-nine Emperors worked in unison to operate it.

Yet now, long, thin, rifts appeared all over it, like cracked porcelain.

All of these rifts were marks Su Yi had left earlier in the battle, streaks of sword qi that scarred the formation.

A shocking scene unfolded before the distant onlookers’ eyes——

As the power of his sword spread, the battered formation suddenly couldn’t take it anymore. It shattered like glass, bursting into pieces!

A shocking scene unfolded before the distant onlookers’ eyes——

All hundred thousand feet of Martial Heaven Peak collapsed with a bang.

The Emperors manning the formation were swept away like grass beneath a hurricane; the force sent them flying in all directions.

And Su Yi stood in the center of the now-destroyed formation. As misty light spread, he held Moonlit Shadow upside-down. His clothing billowed around him, but it was utterly pristine, without a single drop of blood. Radiant Dao Light clustered around him.

Like a deity standing in the center of heaven and earth.
