Chapter 2594 – Suppressing Qing Li
Throughout the battle, Qing Li was constantly on the defensive, repeatedly injured and suppressed!
Now, the red dragon had died in battle, its massive body slamming into the ground and popping like a soap bubble.
The sight left Qing Li deeply agitated.
And enraged!
He’d severed his humanity, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have emotions. Rather, his seven emotions and six desires were like the long hair growing from his head; if they got in his way, he could sever them at any time.
Since proving his Dao and entering Eternity, Qing Li’s emotions had seldom fluctuated.
Now, he experienced anger once more. This type of anger couldn’t shake his heart, nor could it muddle his mind, but it did make him highly uncomfortable.
As if his dignity had been heartlessly trampled!
Boom!
Blue divine radiance shot from Qing Li’s body, dazzling the eyes. His pinemarked sword whooshed through the air and landed in his palm.
His aura instantly expanded, and nine talismans appeared in front of him.
All of them were over ten feet tall, like stone steles, glittering golden Eternal Dao Markings rising on their surfaces and manifesting endless transformations.
The Heavenly Minister Nine Revolutions Talismans!
These talismans were unique to the Temple of the Three Pure Ones, and they were imbued with limitless power and the mysteries of Eternity. When activated, nine talismans would form a nine palaces formation, imprisoning all ghosts and gods between heaven and earth!
Unfortunately, this was the God Domain. Qing Li couldn’t display the full power of the Heavenly Minister Nine Revolutions Talismans here. On the River of Destiny, these talismans could have imprisoned even Limitless Dao Lords!
The nine talismans hovered in midair, emitting dazzling light. The original tumultuous landscape abruptly stilled, enveloped and sealed by an invisible power.
Light, shadows, dust, and even the air currents… all was still. It was as if the whole world were a massive scroll painting, a moment frozen in time.
Meanwhile——
After cutting down the red dragon, Su Yi shot through the air. When the Heavenly Minister Nine Revolutions Talismans appeared, he instantly found himself under terrifying suppression, unable to advance even an inch further, like a fish encased in ice.
“Suppress!” Qing Li bellowed.
Then he stretched out his finger and tapped, the nine talismans lit up, soaring into the air, then taking positions in different directions to suppress Su Yi from all sides.
Moments later, countless Eternal Dao Markings manifested Laws of Lightning, then swept forth, like a river bursting through a dam. All of it was headed straight for Su Yi.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A rapidfire series of explosions boomed throughout heaven and earth. Dazzling lightning swept forth in a raging current, blasting the entire area into powder.
Strangely, none of this destructive power leaked or spread beyond the confines of the nine talismans. They kept it, and Su Yi, tightly confined.
Outside, all was as still as a painting. Inside, everything was explosive and chaotic.
This combination of movement and stillness made for a strange, unsettling scene.
Qing Li watched from a distance, a hint of disdain in the depths of his gaze.
“My avatar of will can only unleash a portion of the Heavenly Minister Nine Revolutions Talismans’ power, but here in the God Domain, that’s still enough to devastate a False Eternal!
“No matter how heaven-defying Su Yi is, he can forget about escaping safely this time!” Qing Li whispered to himself. “It’s just a pity about Chi Mang. He died before we achieved our goal…”
Chi Mang, the red dragon, was Qing Li’s guardian beast. Chi Mang had accompanied him since he began his cultivation.
Even if you’d hit Qing Li over the head, he would never have guessed that Chi Ming would perish beneath Su Yi’s sword!
“Just wait, Chi Mang. I’ll twist off his head to comfort your departed spirit,” whispered Qing Li.
Boom!
The nine talismans rumbled and boomed, their firelight connecting heaven and earth.
Su Yi was still trapped, and his figure had long since been enveloped in a dazzling current of lightning.
Still, Qing Li could clearly sense that Su Yi wasn’t dead. He was still fighting back!
Qing Li couldn’t help but find this surprising. Su Yi’s cultivation base shows no sign of Eternity. He hasn’t even touched the threshold yet; he’s still just a Master God.
He’s still a good distance from Half-Step Eternals, and he’s even further removed from False Eternals. Who could have imagined that a mere Master God like him would possess such heaven-defying strength?
Qing Li was from the Temple of the Three Pure Ones, an incomparably ancient orthodoxy, one of the earliest Daoist factions.
His horizons and breadth of experience were absolutely first-rate even by the standards of the River of Destiny. He was far from ordinary.
Still, he’d never once heard of an Undying Realm Master God this terrifying. It was simply unbelievable!
Perhaps it’s because the power of reincarnation let that swordsman reincarnate all those times, helping him establish unique, unparalleled foundations in the Grand Dao… thought Qing Li.
At the same time, he ceased to be a bystander. He gripped his pinemarked sword, walked through the sky, and arrived just outside the nine talismans.
“Condense!” Qing Li’s sleeves billowed, and dazzling blue flames rose from his sword, melting the sky and incinerating the nine heavens.
Unstoppable, tyrannical, destructive sword force emanated from the blade of his sword.
Qing Li’s eyes flashed like cold lightning as he locked onto the distant Su Yi. Su Yi was being struck by lightning, his whole body enveloping in churning electricity. He looked utterly wretched.
Still, there was one thing Qing Li couldn’t deny: Su Yi was strong. Too strong. Even now, he held fast, and he showed no sign of toppling!
“It’s time to end this!” whispered Qing Li.
Clang!
He launched the strike he’d been building power for with an earsplitting hum.
His sword qi extended thirty thousand feet.
His sword intent was tyrannical and unparalleled.
His sword force shot into the firmament.
And his sword light illuminated everything in all directions!
It was just once slash, but it seemed capable of cleaving the firmament asunder and slicing through the ages.
But it was also then that yet another sword intent shot straight into the dome of heaven with a massive boom. It was like a dragon emerging from the abyss. It shattered the endless lightning, throwing the sky into chaos and enveloping the heavens with unstoppable momentum.
It completely suppressed Qing Li’s sword force!
If Qing Li’s strike was like a coursing river connecting heaven and earth, then this rising sword intent was like a beam of light cleaving through the ancient darkness. It pierced the blue dome of heaven to shatter the sun and moon!
Even Qing Li couldn’t help but be stunned. His pupils constricted, and for a moment, he almost felt like a pearl trying to outshine the moon.
Because that sword intent was just too terrifying. It seemed to cleave through the shackles of creation, proceeding beyond the nine heavens. Nothing could stand in its way, and no one could block it!
Boom—!
A heaven-shaking impact rang out. Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval, and all facts of creation collapsed.
Qing Li’s strike had landed, but it had been blocked!
A large, fair hand pressed down on the air, like an emperor presiding all over creation. The whole world rested in the palm of his hand!
Beneath that large, fair hand, Qing Li’s sword qi was thoroughly suppressed. It was entirely under Su Yi’s control.
It couldn’t advance. It couldn’t even budge!
Qing Li’s expression shifted.
That hand naturally belonged to Su Yi.
He’d been trapped in endless lightning, yet now, indescribable, unsurpassed sword force emanated from him. It ground all of the electricity down to nothingness, preventing it from drawing any closer to Su Yi.
The part Qing Li found hardest to believe was that Su Yi showed no sign of injury whatsoever! Even his clothes were undamaged!
It seems the power of the Heavenly Minister Nine Revolutions’ Talismans was never effective against him in the first place!
This was completely outside of Qing Li’s expectations.
But more than that, the way Su Yi had suppressed his sword qi just by pressing down on it left him flabbergasted. How… How did he pull that off?
Bang!!
As Qing Li’s thoughts raced, a massive impact rang out, and the thirty thousand feet of sword qi shattered and collapsed.
Su Yi walked through a rain of light, robes fluttering around him.
His unsurpassed sword force followed him, shattering the churning lightning on all sides.
The nine talismans locking down the surrounding area trembled, then erupting with stinging electric light.
But their efforts were in vain.
As Su Yi walked, the nine talismans seemed unable to bear the pressure. All of them exploded, one by one.
The suppressed, frozen landscape was instantly plunged into chaos. Firelight ran rampant, and heaven and earth trembled.
Su Yi’s tall, upright figure was like a mountain in motion, completely unshakeable.
His sword force alone was enough to cleave through the lightning, shatter the talismans, and suppress everything on all sides!
As he drew near, intense pressure bore down on Qing Li, descending like a tidal wave or avalanche!
He’s… seriously a Master God!? Qing Li swayed on his feet, his expression shifting erratically. His heart was full of irrepressible bewilderment.
Boom!
Su Yi attacked with boundless sword force. Qing Li had no time to give the matter any further thought. He had to fight with all his might.
His sword clanged, stirring up blue flames. Qing Li was pouring practically all of this avatar’s power into his attacks.
As if risking it all.
Su Yi extended his finger and tapped.
Clang!!
The blue flames filling the sky dispersed, and the pinemarked sword flew from his grip, its wails shaking the heavens.
This was already the second time Qing Li had been disarmed, and this time, that tyrannical power shattered his right hand, the one holding his sword!
“The trend is no longer in my favor.” Qing Li sighed to himself, then turned to flee.
He’d planned and prepared thoroughly, but he’d never guessed that a Master God like Su Yi could be so unreasonably strong. He’d come with numerous hidden cards and divine abilities at the ready, only for them all to seem weak and ineffectual!
Hm? Qing Li had yet to flee the ruins when he suddenly stiffened.
Before he could react, a large hand seized him by the throat from behind. He visibly lost his cool, and his hair stood on end.
It was only then that he realized that, although he wasn’t sure when he’d gotten there, Su Yi was standing behind him.
His handsome face was as calm as ever, and his eyes were utterly indifferent. They didn’t so much as ripple with emotion.
Qing Li was an expert from the River of Destiny, but even so, his heart quivered beneath Su Yi’s gaze, and chills coursed down his spine.
Before Qing Li could give the matter any further thought, Su Yi carried him to the ground, swung him like a club, and slammed him into the dirt.
Bang!!
A massive crater formed, scattering fragments of rock. The surrounding earth split, the crocks extending far into the distance.
It was immediately obvious how much force Su Yi had put into that swing!
