Chapter 1503 - Rooted in Chaos, a Single Blade Can Adjudicate the Heavens

Li Zhong felt suffocated beneath the spearwoman’s pale purple gaze, and his mind felt as if it were on the verge of collapse.

He said hurriedly, “His Excellency Su’s movements are difficult to track. He’s as elusive as a divine dragon; I truly don’t know where he’s gone.”

“Oh,” said the spearwoman. “If I find out that you’ve lied to me, I’ll come back and put a hole through your throat!”

With that, she turned to leave.

Li Zhong instantly felt a massive weight lift from his shoulders. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Just who was that woman? Why haven’t I seen her before? She's simply too terrifying!

......

Deep within the blood-red wastes.

Su Yi and A’Cai saw a towering, majestic mountain bathed in electricity. A destructive aura ran rampant, distorting the surrounding skies and leaving them on the verge of collapse.

When Su Yi saw it in the distance, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning?”

He would never have guessed that this power, which was extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm, would appear here in the First Battleground.

“This is what makes the Domain Boundary Battlefield so special,” said A’Cai, her starry eyes twinkling with illusory light. “It connected the Human and Immortal Realms. It’s irreplaceable, and in a sense, its existence is far more important than anywhere in the Immortal Realm.”

Su Yi agreed completely. In the Immortal Realm, roads to the Human Realm weren’t at all common. Places like the Domain Boundary Battlefield that connected the realms and let cultivators rise to a higher plane were even rarer.

“The good fortune you speak of is on that mountain?” Su Yi looked at the distant mountain bathed in Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning.

“That’s right. There’s a lightning pool on the cliffside, near the peak. It gathered the source energy of the Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning, and a chaos lifeform is growing inside,” said A’Cai. Here, her brow furrowed slightly. “But acquiring this good fortune is extremely difficult. I’ve tried many, many times, but every time I reach the peak, mysterious Laws of chaos get in my way. If I try to push past them, they always force me back. I even suspect that some mighty expert has made the area around the lightning pool a forbidden ground.”

When Su Yi heard that, his eyebrows rose slightly, and he said promptly, “Come on, let’s go.”

“Okay!” A’Cai led the way up.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, she drew her slender finger through the air, and a flowing, undying, perfectly round divine ring floated into the air, blocking the surging Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning.

Afterward, she and Su Yi continued toward the peak. They encountered no danger along the way.

But as they neared the peak, the Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning’s power grew fiercer and more explosive, like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

The impact slammed into the undying divine ring hovering before A’Cai.

She was obviously exerting herself, and her beautiful face was solemn. She said at top speeds, “Fellow Daoist, look! That’s the source of the Void Annihilation Lightning!”

Su Yi followed her gaze. When he peered through the surging, explosive lightning, he saw a roughly ten-foot lightning pool by the cliffside. The surging Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning had condensed into liquid that churned within the pool.

The electricity was so bright that it stung the eyes. Its destructive aura ran rampant, and the surrounding skies showed signs of imminent collapse.

“That divine chaos lifeform is growing from the bed of the lightning pool,” said A’Cai, her eyes flashing. “I’ve investigated a couple of times, and I suspect it’s a type of grass.”

“Grass?” Su Yi was stunned. He circulated a secret art, and his eyes shone with profound light as he tried to discern the secrets of the base of the lightning pool.

But against all expectations, an utterly taboo power of the Laws enshrouded the area around the pool, completely blocking his senses!

“Fellow Daoist, as I’m sure you can sense, there’s a taboo Law around the pool. It’s obviously completely different from the Laws of the Domain Boundary Battlefield,” said A’Cai. “I’ve tried to approach the pool multiple times, but when that power of the Laws sweeps over me, I always leave empty-handed.”

Su Yi’s eyes flashed. “If I’m not mistaken, that’s most likely a Divine Law!”

Divine Laws!

A power that only gods could control!

A’Cai’s beautiful eyes narrowed. “I suspected as much earlier, but I couldn’t imagine why a god’s power would appear in the Domain Boundary Battlefield.”

“It really is strange.” Su Yi thought for a moment, then said, “You keep going. I’ll deal with that taboo power.”

He’d killed divine emissaries on numerous occasions, and he’d even clashed with a god’s avatar of will. His experience wasn’t at all lacking, and he naturally knew how to handle such powers. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“Got it!” A’Cai circulated her Undying Divine Ring with all her might and continued ahead.

Before long, the two of them braved the explosive Void Annihilation Immortal Lightning and reached the peak.

But just as they were about to approach the lightning pool, something changed.

A taboo power of the Laws surged forth, transforming into a stingingly bright arc of light. It was like the blade of divine judgment, and it was headed right for A’Cai, the one leading the way!

A’Cai’s heart quivered, and her hair stood on end. She’d clashed with this power numerous times already, and she sensed the lethal threat.

Su Yi snorted coldly, clenched his fist, and attacked.

Bang!!!

That taboo power of the Laws shattered.

A’Cai looked stunned. He neutralized it that easily?

“Let’s go,” urged Su Yi. A’Cai hurriedly continued ahead.

Boom!

The power of the Laws surged forth, the aura emanating from them enough to instill terror in the heart of even experts of the Immortal Dao.

But they couldn’t take even a single hit from Su Yi. One swing of his sleeves, and he shattered them as if they were made of rotten wood. They couldn’t impede his path at all.

Naturally, this was the wondrous application of the Sword of the Nine Hells.

Before long, the two of them reached the lightning pool. It was then that Su Yi saw the divine chaos lifeform growing at the base of the pool clearly.

It was growing in the bed of the pool of condensed liquid lightning. It was shaped like ordinary wild grass, each of its three blades shaped like a sword and about a foot tall. It swayed within the liquid lightning of the pool.

The grass was completely golden and as lustrous as jade. Every one of its leaves looked as if it had been forged of molten gold, and they glinted with stinging, cold light. They looked as sharp and imposing as the greatest of swords.

“Heaven-Adjudicating Grass!?” Su Yi exclaimed.

There were rumors of a divine chaos lifeform called Heaven-Adjudicating Grass. It was a rare treasure, the type that could only be happened upon by chance.

They said it “rooted itself in chaos” and that its blades “could adjudicate the heavens!”

In the eyes of sword cultivators, it was absolutely one of the rarest, most precious natural sword embryos in existence!

If a sword cultivator forged a sword from a blade of Heaven-Adjudicating Grass, they could absolutely forge an unfathomably mighty divine weapon!

However, such treasures were far too rare. They were nowhere to be found in the Human Realm, as they’d long since vanished. All that remained were fleeting legends; no one had seen Heaven-Adjudicating Grass in a long, long time.

Even in the Immortal Realm, they were incredibly rare. It was no exaggeration to say that you could search for tens of thousands of years without finding one!

When one did appear, immortal experts would fight over it like mad. A storm of bloodshed was sure to follow.

But now, this Divine Chaos Lifeform had appeared at the base of the lightning pool!

Su Yi couldn’t help but be tempted. There was no doubt about it: this was an absolutely enormous stroke of good fortune!

“This Heaven-Adjudicating Grass has three blades. Doesn’t that mean it's grown here for almost one hundred and eighty thousand years?” Su Yi said softly.

They said that Heaven-Adjudicating Grass grew a new blade only once every sixty thousand years!

“This really is an unrivaled treasure born of heaven and nourished by the earth. Fellow Daoist, how about I harvest it?” said A’Cai. She was delighted too.

She’d lost track of how many times she’d failed over the past few months. Now that Su Yi had joined her, the treasure was well within reach.

“Okay.”

Su Yi nodded slightly.

A’Cai immediately got to work. She walked right to the lightning pool, and a thread emanating an undying aura appeared in her hand. A shift of her wrist, and it shot to the bed of the lightning pool.

Crunch!

The Heaven-Adjudicating Grass swayed, and a beam of sharp golden light appeared, severing the thread!

A’Cai was stunned, but before she could react, the Heaven-Adjudicating Grass trembled. Shockingly, it uprooted itself and flew out of the lightning pool.

“Suppress!” The Laws of Restricting the Profound Surged between Su Yi’s fingers as he pressed down on the air.

The Heaven-Adjudicating Grass swayed, and stingingly bright golden light surged forth, breaking the confines of the Laws of Restricting the Profound. The grass then soared into the air.

It was then that Su Yi finally saw it clearly.

It wasn’t that the grass was sentient and fleeing, but that a thin hook was embedded in its roots. It looked like a fishhook, but it was almost transparent.

And the hook was threaded with a line thinner than an ox hair!

“Someone buried a hook here a long time ago. They want to reel this divine chaos lifeform in?” Su Yi’s eyes narrowed.

He had no time to give the matter any further thought. He took action immediately, taking firm hold of the Heaven-Adjudicating Grass from afar.

The grass swayed violently as if trying to break free.

“Someone’s trying to reel it in!” A’Cai saw it too. The hair-thin fishing line was trying to yank the Heaven-Adjudicating Grass out of Su Yi’s grip!

Furthermore, a stingingly bright power of the Laws burst from the fish hook and slashed at Su Yi.

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled violently, and the sky collapsed on all sides.

The fish hook’s power was terrifying beyond imagination. Its aura alone thoroughly suppressed A’Cai’s cultivation base, leaving her unable to move a muscle.

She was no different from a lamb helplessly awaiting the slaughter.

This is bad!

The look on her beautiful face shifted abruptly.

In that moment, Su Yi’s eyes glinted with cold light. He drew upon the aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells and slashed through the air.

Boom!

Heaven and earth swayed. Terrifying destructive power ran rampant, and the taboo power of the Laws bursting from the fish hook was destroyed completely. Then, Su Yi pressed his fingers into a makeshift sword and slashed, severing that thin, almost transparent thread!

The fish hook embedded in the grass’s roots seemed to have lost all its power, and it fell completely still. The Heaven-Adjudicating Grass fell, and Su Yi plucked it out of the air before it hit the ground.

All of this happened in a single breath.

Had he been a fraction of a second slower, this rare and precious treasure would have disappeared right from under their noses!

A’Cai felt a massive weight lift from her shoulders.

Her beautiful eyes gazed into the depths of the sky as she whispered, “I have no idea where that thread just now came from, or who tried to seize our good fortune. It’s truly strange.”

“Well, technically speaking, we’re the ones who stole good fortune someone already had their sights on,” said Su Yi. He stared intently at the Heaven-Adjudicating Grass’s roots. That hook had obviously been placed there a long, long time ago!
