First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1442 - Like a Sovereign Gazing Down on Immortals

The crowd was caught completely off guard, so startled that their jaws practically fell off.

None of them would have imagined that a ruthless old monster like Old Yellow Eyebrows would choose to back down before Su Yi, a mere junior!

Off in the distance, a tall, stalwart man with a spear resting on his shoulder jeered. “Ol’ Yellow Eyebrows, one of your allies was killed, yet you’ve chosen to hold your nose and endure? What a coward!”

Uproarious laughter followed.

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows disregarded this and led his companions away, only for Su Yi to say with cold indifference, “Wait!”

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows’ expression darkened. “Young man, I’ve been tolerant enough. I don’t wish for trouble. What more do you want?”

“Leave your treasures behind,” said Su Yi.

The distant onlookers narrowed their eyes. Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows’ concessions came as a surprise. But Su Yi’s tyrannical, overbearing attitude came as an even greater surprise, to the point that they found it hard to believe. They could never have imagined that Su Yi wouldn’t let Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows off even after he backed down!

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows was obviously furious, his aged face ashen as he stared intently at Su Yi. “And if I refuse?”

“You’ll die.”

All eyes were instantly upon Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows. They wanted to see what choice he would make.

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows’ face twitched, his expression terrifyingly ashen. It would have been obvious to anyone that he was on the brink of losing his temper.

But in the end, he took a deep breath, took off a storage ring, and tossed it over.

Deathly silence followed. Everyone was stunned. A junior is walking all over him so blatantly, but he’s... tolerating it?

“You give him your treasures too.” Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows gnashed his teeth and said to his companions.

“We...” Both of them were obviously hesitant and unwilling to lower their heads.

“Be quick about it!!” roared Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows, his face hideously contorted.

Both his companions stiffened, then hurriedly took out their treasures and tossed them to the ground.

“Are you satisfied now?” Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi waved him away. “Scram.”

It was just one word, but it was blatantly humiliating. Yet Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows didn’t pursue the insult. Instead, he led his companions away. Within just a few blinks of the eye, they’d disappeared from view.

Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning witnessed the entire exchange, but it didn’t quite feel real. That was Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows!

He’d really admitted defeat like that?

The crowd was stunned too. They found it difficult to understand.

“Isn’t Old Yellow Eyebrows... a bit too spineless?” someone murmured.

“No matter how terrifying the power of reincarnation is, you have to take its wielder into account. Su Yi... is only a Transcendent. What’s there to be afraid of?” someone said with a frown.

Everyone present was a Void Realm True Immortal. They’d overcome all manner of winds and waves, and they possessed a vast breadth of knowledge. Even so, none of them could imagine why Old Yellow Eyebrows had lowered his head!

How could he do something so cowardly?

“If any of you aren’t convinced, you’re welcome to try me.” Su Yi’s deep, profound gaze swept the distant Void Realm True Immortals. “This lofty one promises to grant you a quick, clean death!”

Silence followed this proclamation.

The distant onlookers’ expressions filled with uncertainty. This came as a massive affront to their dignity!

But more than that, it seemed indescribably absurd!

This man was nothing but a junior. He controlled the power of reincarnation, sure, but did he really think that was enough to let him contend with Void Realm True Immortals?

He was completely lawless!

Yun Huaqing's and Yu Ning’s hearts shook, but although they were surprised by Su Yi’s blatantly tyrannical bearing, they felt inexplicably joyful and excited.

This is too satisfying!

Who else in the modern era would dare gaze down upon such mighty experts like this? Throughout all of history, what Transcendent had dared gaze upon Void Realm True Immortals with such contempt and pride?

This was what it meant to be unrestrained!

Without confidence and power backing it, such aggressive behavior would just be wanton arrogance!

The fog churned, and dazzling divine rainbows flickered in and out of view, illuminating the immortals’ shifting expressions.

“None of you dare accept my challenge? Very well. If any of you dare attempt to seize this lofty one’s good fortune, I’ll cut you down without mercy!” Su Yi said plainly.

Finally, someone couldn’t take it anymore.

That tall, stalwart man with the spear resting on his shoulders said coldly, “Little fellow, I’d like to see whether you’re bluffing, or whether there’s a reason for your confidence!"

Boom!

As he stepped forth, dark flames surged around him. It was as if a primordial barbarian god were marching into battle. Heaven and earth trembled before him.

“If I lose, I’ll give you treasures, just like Ol’ Yellow Eyebrows. Furthermore, I’ll lead my people away immediately. If you lose, give up the secrets of reincarnation. How about it?” the tall, stalwart man said gravely.

Bai Lichuan!

A Void Realm True Immortal of the yao path. His strength was endless, his abilities mighty and far-reaching.

The crowd instantly understood. Bai Lichuan was taking a conservative approach, leaving himself a way out. He wasn’t just lashing out recklessly due to anger.

But Su Yi laughed derisively, his gaze cold and sharp. “A battle to victory and defeat? Please. I have no interest in playing with you. If you won’t fight to the death, step aside!”

Gasps rang out throughout the surroundings. Su Yi’s tyrannical attitude seemed out of place to the Void Realm True Immortals. They couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

Bai Lichuan was so angry that he laughed. “I wanted to leave you a path to life, but you just had to go and seek out your own demise...”

Before he could even finish, Su Yi attacked, sword swinging.

Bai Lichuan was instantly at a loss for words and overcome with fury. How could a junior be so brazen and domineering as to dismiss me completely!?

“Die!” Bai Lichuan roared in fury. Murderous intent surged around him, and he waved the spear on his shoulders with all his might.

Boom!

Appalling immortal light arose around the spear, shattering the sky and manifesting strange and terrifying visions of mountains of blood and seas of corpses.

He used his full strength right off the bat, holding nothing back. His ferocious power made both Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning’s hearts palpitate in terror.

Bai Lichuan was no weaker than Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows. He possessed innate brute force, and his valiance was unrivaled. He was a real tough customer!

Clang!!!

The Sword of the Human Realm clashed with the spear.

Explosive and terrifying destructive power burst from the point of impact. The entire stretch of sky shattered and collapsed. The sea of fog dispersed on all sides.

Amidst the firelight, two figures clashed, then separated. They now stood over a hundred feet apart.

Su Yi was perfectly composed, his majestic aura linking heaven and earth. Bai Lichuan, however, looked solemn, and the hands gripping his spear quivered slightly.

Clang!

The hum of a sword swept forth like a tidal wave, but Su Yi never stopped. He swung his sword and attacked once more. He was quick as lightning, like a god charging into battle.

He was obviously “just” a Transcendent, yet he seemed to gaze down upon all of creation with contemptuous pride.

“Die!” Bai Lichuan bellowed in fury and attacked with all his might.

In the blink of an eye, they’d clashed over a hundred times, leaving the entire area swaying and shaking. Currents of destructive power swept out in all directions.

“Die already!!” Bai Lichuan’s voice boomed like spring thunder, and the skin on his forehead split, revealing a hideous, blood-red eye. It fired a strange beam of red light at Su Yi.

The Endless Nightmares Pupil!

An extraordinarily terrifying forbidden technique! When used, it distorted space and time, crushing all other techniques into nothingness!

The moment its blood-red light swept over an opponent, it would plunge them into an endless world of nightmares. They’d lose all awareness, becoming nothing but muddled puppets. In that state, they could no longer fight at all!

But Su Yi's eyes shone with mockery.

The Endless Nightmares Pupil was one of the three great forbidden techniques of the Facets of Nature Yao Mountain. To most immortals, it was all but unstoppable. But to him, it was no more than a petty trick. It wasn’t even worth looking at!

Boom!

He neither dodged nor fled, instead thrusting his sword to meet it head-on.

A strange, inscrutable vortex of mystical markings surged at the tip of the Sword of the Human Realm. Mysterious power revolved within it.

The tip of the sword blocked the beam of blood-red light, and as the vortex of mystical markings revolved. Shockingly, it devoured the red light down to the last drop.

The sword’s power was entirely undiminished. It continued ahead, cleaving through the air until it stabbed Bai Lichuan right between the eyes.

Splurt!

The blood-red vertical pupil split as Bai Lichuan’s skull was run through.

“The Cloud-Marked Spirit Whirlpool!! How could you possibly know such a....” Bai Lichuan cried out in alarm, but before he could finish his sentence, the Sword of the Human Realm’s power exploded him into ash.

One thrust, and the ashes of a valiant expert scattered and dissipated!

That tyrannical, forceful strike left everyone present overcome with astonishment. The Void Realm True Immortals watching from a distance were stunned, and their faces filled with astonishment.

“The Cloud-Marked Spirit Whirlpool? Isn’t that one of the Jadelight Pure Lands’ secret legacies? They say it can cleave through all fabrications!” murmured Yu Ning, her pale golden eyes full of astonishment.

It was a secret legacy, so only the Jadelight Pure Lands’ core legacy disciples were qualified to learn it. No outsider was permitted to study it!

Could it be that Su Yi, a cultivator of the Human Realm, has a top faction like the Jadelight Pure Lands backing him?

If so, no wonder Red Cloud thinks so highly of him! So, he has a deep connection to the Jadelight Pure Lands!

Yu Ning felt as if she were now privy to an extraordinary secret, and she found this enormously satisfying.

Alas, although she didn’t know it, Daoist Master Red Cloud saw Su Yi as the presumed reincarnation of the greatest of the Ten Immortal Lords of the Central Immortal Palace, the Sword Fanatic.

Deathly, stifled silence followed. It was so oppressive that the crowd could barely breathe.

Bai Lichuan’s death came as a complete shock!

Only now did the Void Realm True Immortals understand that Su Yi wasn’t wantonly arrogant. This Transcendent of the Human Realm was just that heaven-defyingly strong!

“Anyone else care to try me?” Su Yi said as he scanned the crowd with cold indifference.

Numerous Void Realm True Immortals avoided his gaze, as if afraid he’d notice them.

Others’ expressions darkened. They felt incomparably stifled.

A whole group of Void Realm True Immortals had been intimidated by a mere junior! If word got out, they’d seem completely inept!

Suddenly, a thin man in Daoist robes said gravely, “Everyone, if we join forces, we might well have a chance to take him down and seize the power of reincarnation!

“If we fight individually and focus on our individual aims, we won’t just lose this perfect opportunity. It’s highly likely he’ll take us down one by one!”

Numerous onlookers’ eyes flashed in response. They were obviously tempted.

Su Yi stood there as if all of this were perfectly normal. He made no attempt to stop them. In fact, he was actually eager to see whether or not the man in Daoist robes could convince these old-timers to throw their lives away!
