Chapter 2455 – The Fall of Darkness
The path of a sword cultivator had always been paved in blood and flames.
They always strove for combat, against others, against the heavens, and against themselves.
They found endless delight in it. When a sword cultivator disliked battle, the edge of his sword would rust, and his sword art would accumulate dust.
Both in this life and in his past lives, Su Yi had never been the least bit negligent in his pursuit of the Dao of the Sword.
Encountering powerful enemies only ignited his burning will to fight!
The same was true now, when he faced Di E.
Sword qi swept outward. Su Yi was thoroughly immersed in combat, and he once more felt that unique, wondrous sensation, as if he and his Dao of the Sword were fusing into one.
Even the Sword of the Nine Hells within his sea of consciousness fused and resonated with the Epoch Spark in his foundations in the Grand Dao!
“No Laws, No Heavens breaks all that is traceable, and severs all the rigid rules of creation!
“Only then can my sword heart follow my will, and only then can my Dao of the Sword be without laws and without heavens!”
Revelations arose in his heart, growing like mad, like bamboo shooting up after spring rains.
Wang Ye had once boasted that his heart was like a sword, and that he could “suppress the heavens until they’re just three feet tall!”
At the time, Wang Ye was perhaps just expressing a sort of longing, his aspirations for his future Dao of the Sword.
But now, the path Su Yi sought was gradually making Wang Ye’s longing a reality!
His Undying Realm was one of replacing the heavens and exerting his will. One day, his sword part would indeed be able to crush the heavens until they were just three feet tall!
So what if the heavens watched his every move? One day, he’d control their every move!
Boom!
In this wondrous state of combat and enlightenment, Su Yi’s vital energy transformed, like a long-dormant volcano finally erupting.
But it was then that Di E struck to kill.
Boom!
His hands suddenly wrapped around the void, his fingers interwove, and countless dark glyphs surged forth and gathered together to outline a world.
The world had stars, moons, and celestial bodies. It had latitudes and longitudes, the revolutions of the four seasons, the alternations of Yin and Yang, and the cycle of the five elements. It gave rise to new life, and countless creatures emerged at once.
He was like a creator building an all new, complete world.
And this world was taking shape in Di E’s hands. It was thoroughly enshrouded in dark glyphs.
The moment it took shape, an indescribably terrifying air of destruction surged throughout the entire stretch of heaven and earth.
The dome of heaven dimmed, and the Laws were startled into action. The entire Hazy Sea Forbidden Zone was instantly enveloped in a deathly atmosphere, like the descent of the apocalypse.
It was to the point that the formerly clear skies over the Spirit Firmament Divine Continent dimmed. Layers of cloud arose, as dark as an eternal night.
In that moment, countless top experts of the Spirit Firmament Divine Continent were startled into action.
Countless old-timers who typically lived deep in seclusion, heedless of worldly affairs, now felt their hearts shake. Their expressions shifted dramatically.
Because even the greatest, unsurpassed Laws of the natural order were startled into action!
Just what had happened?
Countless people were bewildered.
And Su Yi, who was currently locked in battle with Di E, instantly startled out of his enlightened state. His pupils constricted.
The power Di E was gathering in his hand gave him a powerful sense of an impending threat. THe sight made his skin prickle, and his heart and spirit felt stifled!
“Everyone knows that I crossed the threshold of the River of Destiny and became a Half-Step Eternal a long time ago,” Di E said solemnly. “But even now, no one has ever gotten the chance to witness the power of a Half-Step Eternal. Su Yi, you’ll… be the first!”
As his voice rang out, heaven and earth collapsed around him. Everything withered, annihilated completely.
And Di E, who stood amidst the darkness, was like the only Eternal constant amidst all that destruction!
A world of darkness appeared between his hands, startling the Laws of the surrounding area and shattering the sky on all sides.
It was to the point that no one could have imagined how terrifying this strike would be when it landed.
At that moment, Su Yi’s instincts told him that things wouldn’t go well for him if he clashed with that attack head on.
If he retreated, he could avoid the brunt of the impact and ensure his survival.
Most people would have chosen the safer option, but not Su Yi.
He didn’t hesitate in the slightest, either.
His instincts could sense the danger, but it was his Dao Heart that decided whether or not he retreated!
Boom!
When he made his decision, his heart seemed to shatter a mental barrier. His essence, qi, and spirit calmed.
The latent threat felt like a blade against his throat.
But this actually stimulated and excavated all of his latent potential.
It was in those moments in which you weren’t afraid to die, and when you chose to go bravely into battle even knowing it might cost you your life, that it was easiest to awaken your true courage and strength!
Boom!
The Sword of the Nine Hells shook in his sea of consciousness.
The three Divine Chains wrapped around it clanged as if startled, resonating with the fluctuations of Su Yi’s qi in a wondrous rhythm.
Di E’s gaze focused. He seemed to sense the startling transformation affecting Su Yi, and he attacked without the slightest hesitation
Kaboom!
The world formed of black glyphs suddenly rose.
It was like a black sun crushing the sky, erupting with destructive power so overwhelming that it seemed intent on destroying the entire God Domain.
From Su Yi’s perspective, it was like a boundlessly vast world were crashing down on him.
How was one person supposed to defend against an entire world?
Just about anyone in this situation would have given in to helplessness and despair.
But Su Yi didn’t.
He just circulated his cultivation base to the limit and swung his three-foot sword with all his might.
In that moment, dazzling light seemed to bore through the seemingly eternal darkness enshrouding the tumultuous landscape. It brought with it resplendent flames that cleaved through time and space and into that black sun.
It was a grand, terrifying, and astonishing scene, like a hole tore through the apocalypse, intent on exiling the darkness.
Boom——!!!
When the sword qi clashed with the black sun, heaven and earth were overturned. Everything sank on all sides.
The entire Hazy Sea Forbidden Zone shattered with a bang.
It was like the descent of a black sun, or the explosion of an entire world. The resulting current of destruction was so overwhelming that the myriad Daos of heaven and earth almost ceased to exist.
Heaven and earth vanished into chaos-like oblivion.
Outside the Hazy Sea Forbidden Zone, countless experts’ bodies went limp as soon as they were out of danger. Chills coursed down their spines.
They’d just watched as the entire Hazy Sea Forbidden Zone was eradicated before their very eyes, offering no more resistance than paper window paneling!
It was as astonishing as watching a whole world crumble before their very eyes.
Startled cries arose throughout the Spirit Firmament Divine Continent.
Because beneath the dome of heaven, the Laws of the natural order manifested, producing numerous strange and calamitous phenomena. Blood fell like rain and wails boomed like thunder, as if the Grand Dao itself were weeping.
The commotion shocked even countless old-timers, leaving them in a lasting daze.
A windstorm of destruction raged and rumbled over the Hazy Sea Forbidden Zone, and a searing, intense flood of the power of the Grand Dao roared.
The divine radiance was so intense that the onlookers couldn’t even open their eyes.
A long time passed before the smoke dissipated.
As the destroyed landscape gradually came back into view, Di E appeared, standing in midair with indescribable, inerasable astonishment on his face.
That attack was called the Fall of Darkness. It was the strongest attack he’d mastered as a Half-Step Eternal!
It was imbued with a power of the Laws far beyond the bounds of the Undying Realm!
Di E would never have guessed that Su Yi would come so close to blocking it.
That strike was far too terrifying! It was full of profundities upon profundities, its wonders without limit. Shockingly, it had blocked the power of the Fall of Darkness!
It was like a miracle. This simply shouldn’t have been possible for an Undying Realm cultivator!
How on earth did Su Yi unleash that strike? Don’t tell me that this is his true limit?
Di E couldn’t see through it, but he knew that Su Yi had lost!
Although Su Yi’s strike had been wondrous and unfathomable, it still wasn’t enough to block the Fall of Darkness!
But before Di E could relax, violent, hacking coughs appeared out of nowhere.
His smile froze in place. He slowly turned his head, then gazed into the distance. Smoke still permeated the wreckage.
As the smoke and misty light gradually faded, everything came back into focus.
A man in tattered blue robes stood there, his long hair disheveled and his whole body covered in wounds gushing with blood. His skin had practically been reduced to a meaty pulp.
But his back was still perfectly upright, as if he were an utterly unshakable, unbendable mountain.
Su Yi!
He… he’s still alive! He survived my strongest attack!
For a moment, Di E almost dared not believe his eyes.
