Chapter 1275 - Get the Hell Out of Here, or Die!
Black clouds blanketed the skies. It was as dark as an eternal light.
A river of blood-red lightning coursed through the dome of heaven.
Su Yi moved so quickly that it almost seemed as if he were teleporting. The mysteries of Oblivion circulated around him, making his entire body seem like a sharp, unstoppable blade.
Wherever he passed, countless Blood Crows exploded into pieces.
Were someone watching from afar, they’d see him boring a perfectly straight hole through the massive army of Blood Crows. Birds exploded continuously as he forged his way ahead.
The Blood Crows were extremely troublesome. Each was comparable to a Oneness Realm World King, and they attacked in groups.
If they found themselves surrounded, even Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World Kings would be doomed.
As Su Yi killed his way ahead, he discovered that the mysteries comprising reincarnation—rebirth, withering and flourishing, the far shore, oblivion, and the end—could all suppress these strange entities with ease.
It seems these Blood Crows aren’t true living things, but rather, manifestations of the vengeful souls of the long departed. That’s what makes their cursed lightning power so troublesome...thought Su Yi.
As he pondered, his brow suddenly furrowed.
Blood-colored lightning surged up ahead, beneath the firmament. An endless stream of Blood Crows shot forth in an enormous flock, blocking the path ahead.
It was as if they were acting on orders, intent on keeping Su Yi in these desolate plains no matter what.
It was then that Su Yi’s divine sense picked up on something——
Thirty thousand feet to the east, sixteen black formation flags were inserted into the ground. The flags swayed in the wind, surging with strange and inscrutable talisman glyphs and Dao Markings.
A man sat cross-legged at the center of the sixteen black flags. He was thin and dressed in beast skins, and his hair was sparse.
The old man’s skin was covered with countless intricate tattooed totems. His hands held aloft a Daoist seal swathed in wisps of immortal light.
His lips moved as he chanted incantations.
As inscrutable chanting spread outward, the sixteen black formation flags surrounding him rumbled and boomed continuously. The strange power of a formation surged into the river of red lightning traversing the dome of heaven.
Then, countless Blood Crows surged out of the electric river...
Su Yi’s expression frosted over. Indeed, someone was controlling the Blood Crows from behind the scenes!
“Hm?” The thin old man in beast skins seemed to sense something. He suddenly shot to his feet.
Practically simultaneously, a ten-thousand-foot streak of dazzling, unstoppable sword qi descended explosively upon him, like the galaxy pouring down from beyond the nine heavens.
Boom!
The sword qi descended, exploding the sixteen black formation flags and cleaving open a chasm so deep it seemed bottomless.
The flocks of Blood Crows throughout the surrounding area were subsequently annihilated.
The old man in beast skins dodged this attack by a hair. When he took in the aftermath, he couldn’t help but break out in cold sweats. That’s the power of a young man in the Heavenly Longevity Realm?
Boom!
Before the old man could react, Su Yi arrived right before him, seemingly by teleportation, and swung his sword.
His gaze was distant and cold, and he attacked without the slightest politeness.
There was no grudge between them, yet the old man had schemed against him as he crossed that desolate pain. Who wouldn’t have been angry?
“Get him!” The old man in beast skins unleashed that Daoist seal swathed in immortal light, destroying Su Yi’s sword qi.
Hm? Su Yi was a bit surprised.
The seal was extremely mystical. It was emblazoned with immortal light, like a divine mountain bearing down on the skies. Its power was practically beyond imagination.
“Why attack me, my young friend?” the old man in beast skins said gravely.
Su Yi disregarded him and attacked once more. Sword qi swept forth in dazzling waves, quick as flying light.
His forceful, domineering methods left the old man in beast skins beset on all sides. His heart filled with irrepressible astonishment.
If not for how wondrous the Daoist seal was, Su Yi’s first attack would have been enough to injure him badly.
“Hah!” The old man’s voice boomed like spring thunder.
The tattoos on his skin surged, manifesting terrifying demonic gods that rushed at Su Yi.
“An Aberrant legacy?” Su Yi’s eyebrows rose, but his movements never slowed. He swung his sword and clashed with the old man head-on.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval. Firelight ran rampant.
In the blink of an eye, the manifested demonic gods split into pieces, destroyed by that indomitable sword qi.
The old man in beast skins gasped, turned tail, and fled.
His thin figure transformed into an enormous bat as he streaked through the skies at extraordinary speeds. In the blink of an eye, he’d covered tens of thousands of feet.
That aside, the countless Blood Crows blanketing the skies charged at Su Yi in an attempt to prevent him from pursuing his target.
The Dark and Gold Fortune Sword transformed in Su Yi’s grip, becoming a simple, unadorned bow, which he strung without hesitation.
Weng!
The rumbling of wind and lightning emanated from the bowstring, and dense Dark and Gold Essence rose into the air.
A divine arrow condensed entirely from the Laws of Flying Light formed on the bowstring.
Su Yi exerted his will, and...
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled violently, as if the sound of the divine were reverberating throughout the surrounding area.
An unstoppably dazzling streak of light cleaved through the Blood Crows blocking Su Yi’s path, boring a hole through space itself. In the blink of an eye, all obstacles had disappeared.
Beneath the distant dome of heaven.
Bang!
A muffled impact followed. The arrow bore a hole through the old man—now a giant bat—with a waterfall of blood.
“Bastard!” The giant bat roared in fury and returned to his human shape.
There was now a fist-sized, bloody hole through his shoulder. Tyrannical sword qi still lingered around the wound, corroding his vitality. His face was deathly pale, and his entire body quivered slightly.
That arrow had taken a huge toll on this Cosmic Enlightenment World King of the Aberrant Path!
“You can’t escape, old man.” Su Yi’s voice emanated from afar.
The old man in beast skins endured the agony and fled into the distance with all his might.
It was obvious that he’d unleashed some forbidden secret art. His blood and qi seemed to catch ablaze, and he fled with increasingly extreme speed.
But to his shock and alarm, the young man in blue followed hot on his heels nonetheless, like a shadow. He couldn’t shake him!
“Friend, what happened earlier was just a misunderstanding, and I’ve already paid for it. Why must you pursue and kill me?” the old man in beast skins said through gnashed teeth.
“Give me that seal, and I’ll spare you just this once.” Su Yi had his hands behind his back, and it looked as if he were out for a casual stroll, but in truth, every step was as quick as light itself. He was slowly closing the gap between them.
“You’re dreaming!” The old man in beast skins was so angry that he laughed.
He’d only recently acquired the seal from a perilous forbidden ground, and he paid an enormous price to obtain it. It was a true Transcendent Dao Weapon, far beyond World-King-level treasures!
Whoosh!
A streak of sword qi shot forth, cleaving through the sky. It whooshed past the old man’s ears, cutting off a lock of his hair and leaving a shallow, bleeding cut on his skin.
The old man shuddered, then cried out, “Friend, everything is up for discussion! Please, stop attacking me!”
Even as he said this, he felt indescribably ashamed.
Given his status and cultivation boundary, he was absolutely a peak figure even by the standards of the star domain as a whole.
But now, a Heavenly Longevity Realm had forced him to beg for a peaceful resolution. This... was far too shameful!
“I’ll count to three. If you haven’t given me the seal, I assure you you’ll die an unsightly death,” Su Yi said flatly.
The old man in beast skins was furious, and his expression shifted back and forth.
Suddenly, he seemed to spot something. He gnashed his teeth, faced downward, and shot toward a distant mountain.
Su Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.
A ten-thousand-foot black mountain stood in the distance, vast and grand. Strangely, countless waterfalls of lava flowed down its slopes.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth burned red, and the very air itself was distorted.
A taboo, destructive aura emanated from the mountain, spreading outward into its surroundings.
“Quick, stop!” Su Yi suddenly called out a warning.
The old man in beast skins laughed coldly but paid him no heed.
A moment later, his smile froze.
A figure clad entirely in black armor suddenly shot toward him from the distant mountain.
Like a demonic god appearing out of thin air.
The old man in beast skins turned and tried to flee.
But the power of a formation surged throughout the surrounding skies, enveloping him completely, like a fiery spider’s web.
This is bad! The old man in beast skins panicked.
It was then that the black-armored figure reached him and swung their ten-foot blood-red war saber.
Boom!
Dazzling, blood-red light burst forth.
The old man trapped in the formation split down the midline; one slash, and he was cleaved in two.
Splash~
Fresh blood fell like a waterfall.
Just like that, a Cosmic Enlightenment World King of the Aberrant Path perished.
Meanwhile, that black-armored figure reached out and grabbed the Daoist seal from amongst the old man’s remains.
Off in the distance, Su Yi couldn’t help but sigh. Why didn’t you heed my warning?
“Stop right there, or else, I’ll cut you down without mercy.” The armored figure glanced at Su Yi, their gaze cold and cruel.
Their armor was carved with intricate Dao Markings, and even their head was obscured. Only their dim blue eyes were visible.
Wisps of black flame surged out of the armor. The armored figure was bathed in a tyrannical, terrifying, and destructive aura.
Su Yi could tell at a glance that she was a woman! And a Cosmic Enlightenment Realm expert of the Blue Luan Spirit Race at that!
As one of the Six Ancient Guardian Clans of the Dao, the Blue Luan Spirit race’s foundations were enough to fill even some of the stars’ top sects with trepidation.
But Su Yi wasn’t concerned about that. He said directly, “Hand over the seal, and I’ll leave immediately.”
“It’s true what they say,” the woman in black armor said icily. “Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. Are you really going to throw your life away over a treasure?”
Her tone was cold and imposing.
Before Su Yi could say anything, she raised her ten-foot, blood-colored saber and pointed it at him. “Get the hell out of here, or die!”
The saber glinted, emanating a blood-colored glow. The long, thin blade was carved with ancient Dao markings.
As the woman raised her saber into the air, terrifying murderous intent spread throughout heaven and earth, shaking the mountains and rivers.
Her momentum was practically powerful beyond imagining, and her words were full of impatience and disrespect.
But Su Yi laughed. “It’s been a long time since I last saw a member of the Blue Luan Spirit Race, but it seems your tempers are worse than ever...”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he took a step forward.
Boom!
One step, but it went off like a thunderclap on flat ground.
The surrounding area was originally covered in the power of a formation. Earlier, the old man in beast skins carelessly entered its range, resulting in the armored woman cutting him down.
When Su Yi’s foot hit the ground, the terrifying formation capable of trapping and killing even Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings shook violently. Countless formation glyphs surged forth, transforming into a rain of light and fire.
It was as if it couldn’t withstand the terrifying pressure of even just one of Su Yi’s footsteps.
The woman covered in black armor narrowed her eyes, then swung her saber without the slightest hesitation.
