First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 2560 – Unstoppable Force

In the center of the ancient Shattered Heart Battlefield, blood-red light shot into the firmament, casting away the darkness and dyeing heaven and earth a striking shade of red.

Su Yi stood in the air, calm and composed, drinking with no thought for anything else.

Across from him, Fiend Lord Chang Liu and Fiend Lord Lei Jue had a transmitted conversation. The chaos fiends throughout the surrounding area were ready and waiting to fight at a moment’s notice.

Liao Yuanshan and the others’ hearts were fraught with worry. The atmosphere was stifled and oppressive.

But within moments, the deathly silence broke. A striking beam of golden light whooshed in from on high, cleaving through the void, then transformed into a man in golden robes.

His long golden hair hung loose, and he rode on a Dragon Snake totem. His skin looked as if it had been forged from molten gold.

His back was perfectly straight, like a resplendent spear, its sharpness on full display. When he looked around, tyrannical, forceful majesty swept outward.

The entire area was in uproar. The chaos fiends in particular were instantly excited.

Fiend Lord Xuan E, the second strongest of the Eight Fiend Lords!

His Heavenly Gold Divine Origin power was one of the strongest Daos of elemental metal born of the primordial chaos!

“Xuan E, that’s the boy,” Fiend Lord Chang Liu pointed to the nearby Su Yi and transmitted.

Su Yi ignored this completely.

Before long, another figure shot over from over the horizon.

Whoosh!

A boundless current seemed to pour down from the heavens, like celestial waters bursting through a dam.

A woman appeared amidst the current, like a water goddess walking on waves. Her whole body looked as if it were made of flowing water, and the surface of her snowy skin flowed with blue waves. She had beautiful features and eyes as deep as oceans.

When she arrived, a supreme chill swept throughout heaven and earth. Many of those present shivered; they felt as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

Fiend Lord Bai Ye!

She controlled the power of Profound Chaos Yin, and she was ranked third among the Eight Fiend Lords.

Her arrival provoked another burst of uproar.

This time, Su Yi finally spoke. “Why aren’t any of the Chaos Kings showing up?”

Fiend Lord Bai Ye stood amidst the waves, her voice calm. “The Heaven-Trampling Chaos King said that if you lower your head, you’ll become our guest, and you’ll have a seat at Heaven-Trampling Palace.”

She paused, then added, “If you insist on trespassing, well, you’ll have to get through us first.”

“Just the three of you?” Su Yi asked casually. He casually swept his gaze across Xuan E, Bai Ye, and Chang Liu.

He completely ignored Fiend Lord Lei Jue, who’d been reduced to a soul body.

“It’s not just us.” Fiend Lord Bai Ye shook her head.

Before her voice had even finished echoing through the air, two more figures arrived.

One was a mountain-sized man with three heads and six arms. Each of his hands wielded a different weapon: a saber, a spear, a sword, a halberd, a Daoist seal, and a jade ruler. His imposing majesty shook both heaven and earth.

Fiend Lord Lun Shan!

The other was a dwarf just about a foot tall. His features were hideous, and his slanted eyes were a strange silvery white. His blood-red saber was considerably taller than he was.

Fiend Lord Qiu Tu!

Including Fiend Lord Lei Jue, six of the eight Fiend Lords had gathered here.

The chaos fiends’ spirits soared. Ming Ke roared, “I urge you to obediently lower your head, you wretch! Or else, this place shall become your grave!”

Su Yi had forced him to kneel and beg for his life. His heart had been full of humiliation and dread, but now, none of it remained. All he felt now was hatred and excitement.

“Lower his head? No! He must kneel! Don’t forget how he killed our fellow chaos fiends earlier!” said the three-tailed woman, hatred written all over her beautiful face.

Their shouting made the already hostile atmosphere even more volatile.

But Su Yi ignored them. He just asked, “Is anyone else coming?”

It was just one light, airy sentence. Every word echoed clearly throughout heaven and earth.

Many of the chaos fiends were flabbergasted. They found this hard to believe. Does this guy seriously have no idea how dangerous his predicament is?

Fiend Lord Xuan E said coldly, “You’re just one person. We’re more than enough.”

Su Yi inclined his head. “Let’s get started, then.”

He put away his kettle and flipped his palm. The Sword of Proximity appeared in his grip.

The Fiend Lords’ pupils constricted. Fiend Lord Lei Jue said that he’d almost died despite that human cultivator not using any external treasure.

Now, the battle had yet to begin, but that human had drawn his sword.

“Let’s test his strength first!” The mountainous, three-headed, six-armed Fiend Lord Lun Shan roared and shot through the air. In a flash, he’d appeared directly in front of Su Yi.

Boom!

His six arms raised their weapons. All of them—saber, spear, sword, halberd, seal, and ruler—swung ruthlessly at Su Yi.

The saber light was quick as lightning.

The spear light flashed like a star.

Sword qi coursed like a waterfall.

The edge of the halberd glinted like snow.

The seal hung beneath the firmament, bearing down on Su Yi’s surroundings.

The jade ruler swept forth, and the wind and flames of purgatory surged into being.

These attacks surrounded Su Yi on all sides. He was fighting a single opponent, yet it was as if his enemies were attacking him from all sides!

Su Yi’s gaze remained calm, without the slightest ripple of emotion. He just raised the Sword of Proximity, pointed to the heavens, and struck the earth, sending sword qi flying in all ten directions.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of rapid-fire impacts rang out, one after another. Explosive, destructive power enveloped the entire area.

Fiend Lord Lun Shan’s mountainous figure was sent flying backward. His six weapons quivered in his grip, their wails shaking the heavens.

Fiend Lord Lun Shan’s expression shifted. What terrifying sword force!

Before he could steady himself, Su Yi’s Daoist robes billowed around him, and he swung his sword once more.

“Hah!” Fiend Lord Bai Ye raised and swung her hand. The sky split, and a river of heaven gushed forth, bringing with it the power to overturn heaven and earth. It completely crushed Su Yi’s path, enveloping everything within ninety thousand feet of him.

The coursing waters were formed entirely out of the soft, cold power of the Laws of Profound Chaos Yin. When they enveloped someone, it wouldn’t matter if they were “deathless” or “indestructible.” They’d still be ground down to nothing!

But then, Su Yi took a step forward, turning the edge of his sword as if drawing a Yin-Yang and demarcating purity and filth. Where his sword qi went, it severed the river of heaven!

Did water flow ever onward even after a sword split the current?

No. When Su Yi’s sword descended, it seemed capable of severing the current of the ages!

The coursing river of heaven dispersed, and Fiend Lord Bai Ye’s expression shifted.

Meanwhile, Su Yi had long since appeared before Fiend Lord Lun Shan, sword swinging.

Boom!

Sword qi shot into the firmament, tearing open heaven and earth and severing the sky.

The sword force alone was enough to make Fiend Lord Lun Shan’s heart quiver. His expression shifted, and without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his strongest divine ability to defend himself.

A moment later, he was sent flying, all three of his heads coughing up blood. Two of his six arms were severed with a spray of blood.

That slash was just too terrifying!

Those beneath it felt paltry and insignificant, as helpless to resist as if a divine mountain were descending upon them.

Fiend Lord Lei Jue had told Fiend Lord Lun Shan about Su Yi’s shocking combat strength. Fiend Lord Lun Shan already knew how their battle had gone in full detail.

But now, Fiend Lord Lun Shan suddenly realized something. Either Fiend Lord Lei Jue was lying, or Su Yi had been holding back. This guy is just too terrifying. Nothing can block his sword. He seems practically invincible and unstoppable!

When he saw that Su Yi was about to attack once more, Fiend Lords Xuan E and Chang Liu both attacked at once.

“Descend!” Fiend Lord Xuan E gripped his spear, its tip boring through the sky. Its tip erupted with countless golden stars.

His spear lit up like a firework, utterly dazzling and utterly terrifying, because each of those golden stars was full of murderous intent so concentrated that you could touch it.

Fiend Lord Chang Liu, meanwhile, formed a hand seal. Countless arcs of blue light descended from the heavens, growing like mad and condensing into blue flowers. Together, they sealed Su Yi’s escape route off completely.

As the blue flowers danced about, dazzling, mysterious power of the Grand Dao poured down like a waterfall, descending upon Su Yi.

Su Yi’s eyes shone with strange light. Their cooperation really was seamless. Fiend Lord Xuan E’s spear was the most dangerous.

But Fiend Lord Chang Liu’s blue flower was the most troublesome of all. The moment he let it trap him, it would appear around him endlessly, like a spiderweb sealing off all possible escape routes.

In the past, Su Yi would have had to fight with his life on the line or resort to using external treasures to defend himself against such a thing.

But now, he had nothing to fear from it.

“Activate!” As Su Yi’s thoughts raced, the Heart Soul seated within his Dao Heart suddenly rose.

When Su Yi swung his sword, his Heart Soul mimicked his movements.

To Xuan E and Chang Liu, when Su Yi swung his sword, he seemed to transform into a sovereign presiding over heaven and earth.

The sword force was overwhelming, so terrifying as to make their scalps go numb. Their Dao Hearts quivered.

They couldn’t help but feel as paltry as ants trying to shake a tree, and as helpless and insignificant as mantises trying to block a chariot.

Both Fiend Lords looked stricken. This is bad! He’s attacking our hearts!

But they were already one step too late. The moment their Dao Hearts felt the impact, Su Yi’s sword force erupted.

Bang!!!

Thousands upon thousands of golden stars flashed, then went out.

Fiend Lord Xuan A was sent flying, spear and all.

Immediately afterward, the countless blue flowers crumbled and withered. Sword qi swept forth, like a fierce gale sweeping away the clouds, sending Fiend Lord Chang Liu flying.

In just one strike, Su Yi had crushed the two Fiend Lords’ pincer attack!!

And that was on top of defeating Fiend Lords Chang Liu and Bai Ye almost as soon as the battle began!

A deathly silence descended over the area. The chaos fiends’ excited smiles froze in place. Their eyes widened, and they fell into a daze.

This was nothing like what they’d expected. Even surrounded by multiple Fiend Lords, Su Yi wasn’t suppressed. On the contrary, he singlehandedly broke through their ranks, crushing their joint offensive!

Liao Yuanshan and the others gaped. All of them were completely stunned.

As the crowd watched in astonishment, a blood-red blade appeared silently out of nowhere, sweeping at Su Yi from below.

It was silent and traceless, without the slightest energy fluctuation, sinister to the extreme.

But just as its edge was about to reach Su Yi…

Boom!

He suddenly stomped his feet, and ten thousand feet of sky collapsed around him.

Fiend Lord Qiu Tu’s dwarven figure was suddenly forced back into view, and he suffered the brunt of the impact.

His eyes widened in disbelief. How is this possible!?
