Chapter 2625 – A Single Slash, and Everything Changes
The Golden Crows beat their wings, stirring up currents of golden flame. Their Eternal auras brought with them endless burning, terrifying power.
When the nine Golden Crows appeared, their ferocity made countless hearts shake. Gasps arose throughout the area.
“This… is a powerful strike indeed!” Even the little girl born of the natural order was stunned.
Taishu Gong thought to himself, It’s far more than merely ‘powerful’! When Senior Yu Chiyang gave me these nine Golden Crow soul essences, he told me that when I activated the Golden Crow Transformation, I’d be able to trap even true Eternals!
Meanwhile, within the formation, the arrival of the Golden Crows transformed everything into a giant furnace. The searing heat alone was enough to burn False Eternals to ash.
As the nine Golden Crows beat their wings and attacked, they put unprecedented pressure on Su Yi!
His eyebrows rose, and he leaped into the air.
Clang!
The Sword of Proximity let out a clear hum. Invisible Dao Charm flowed along its edge, like the formless, murkiness of chaos.
When it attacked, it was like a dim beam of light exploding into being. It wasn’t exactly shocking, but it contained the concentrated might of Su Yi’s powers of the Grand Dao.
He was holding nothing back!
Boom!!
Divine flames ran rampant, and sword qi burst forth.
The first of the nine Golden Crows to reach Su Yi was swiftly cut in two. Its body collapsed into an endless rain of golden light.
But at the same time, its power forced Su Yi back, his blood and qi churning.
His brow furrowed.
The Golden Crow was terrifyingly strong. It wasn’t a lifeless object, but rather, a soul essence fused into the formation. That made it extraordinarily terrifying.
It was like fighting a true spiritual being manifested of the formation.
Before Su Yi could give the matter any further thought, the other eight Golden Crows beat their wings and attacked.
Each was fiercer than the one before.
Su Yi launched eight attacks in the time it took to snap his fingers, cutting the Golden Crows down one by one. However, each time, he was forced back!
In the end, Su Yi couldn’t avoid injuries. His face paled, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
But his wounds were light, so trivial as not to be worth mentioning. What really made Su Yi frown was that even after he cut down the nine Golden Crows, they quickly started reforming!
The wicked creatures might look alive, but ultimately, they’re just power fused into the formation. If I don’t destroy the formation itself, they’ll just keep coming back to life. Su Yi understood. There’s no getting around it. This formation’s power and transformations are beyond my expectations.
I’ll just have to try again!
Su Yi waved his sleeve, gripped the Sword of Proximity, and attacked once more.
The formation rumbled and boomed as sword qi criss-crossed in the air.
The Golden Crows beat their wings, and another tide of divine flames swept forth. The battle was instantly as fierce as could be.
With every slash, Su Yi managed to cut a Golden Crow down.
However, they just kept coming back to life, and every time they clashed, Su Yi suffered the impact. He was repeatedly forced back.
He couldn’t avoid piling on injuries. He looked utterly wretched.
Outside the formation, the crowd watched with rapt attention and bated breath.
Su Yi’s strength astonished his enemies once more. They had to admit that in Su Yi’s shoes, the vast majority of them would have died a long time ago.
Yet now, although Su Yi repeatedly took damage, he showed no sign of giving in!
This was unquestionably far too terrifying.
Meanwhile, the twenty-four False Eternals controlling the formation looked grimmer and more unsightly than ever before. They were rapidly frittering away their cultivation bases!
Every time one of the Golden Crows was destroyed, they felt the impact. They had no choice but to pour even more of their strength into the formation.
By now, their cultivation bases were practically hollowed out. If they couldn’t defeat Su Yi soon, they’d be the first to run out of steam!
Taishu Gong realized this too, and he immediately reached a decision. “Daoist Brother Mo Yun, it’s time!”
“Got it!” A thin, gray-haired man in a feather coat stepped forth.
This was Mo Yun, a False Eternal from the Vermillion Bird Forbidden Zone.
When he stepped forth, six other False Eternals did the same. All seven of them charged into the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation.
When the onlookers saw this, they couldn’t help but be curious. Is this something they planned well in advance?
Upon entering the formation, the seven False Eternals formed a row. Each took out a formation flag.
Boom!
The seven formation flags lit up, scattering mysterious, resplendent formation markings. Shockingly, they fused perfectly with the formation, making its power skyrocket.
Even the nine Golden Crows attacking Su Yi instantly grew stronger!
At the same time, when Mo Yun and the other False Eternals attacked, countless golden divine flames interwove to create a cage. Su Yi quickly found himself trapped inside.
The cage shrank repeatedly, rapidly reducing the space Su Yi had to maneuver!
Su Yi had to stave off the Golden Crows, all while resisting the confines of the rapidly shrinking cage. He was instantly in peril.
When Taishu Gong and the others saw this, their spirits soared.
“Su Yi really is strong, but we’ve only used half of the cards we prepared for this, and it seems like he won’t last much longer,” Taishu Gong said calmly.
The two alliances were working together to defeat Su Yi. These were far from the only methods they’d prepared.
If they managed to kill Su Yi within the confines of the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation, its masters, the Myriad Daos Alliance, would naturally reap the lion’s share of Su Yi’s good fortune!
The little girl said coolly, “You’ve used half of your hidden cards, but Su Yi has yet to reveal any of his. This is when you ought to be most on guard; it’s no time to celebrate.”
Taishu Gong was stunned. A moment later, his pupils constricted.
It was also then that——
Boom!
The formation’s interior rumbled and boomed in waves. The power of Su Yi’s strikes had instantly increased many times over.
This time, he shattered all nine Golden Crows in a single slash, and the relentlessly shrinking cage split into pieces!
This sudden development provoked a series of startled cries. Countless onlookers looked stricken.
But none felt the impact more than Mo Yun and the other six False Eternals.
That attack was more than twice as strong as the ones Su Yi had used before!
As its power spread, it broke through their joint attack, sending them flying. All even of them coughed up blood!
It was far too terrifying, and far too sudden.
No one could tell what kind of treasure Su Yi had put into play, or how he’d changed the tides in a single slash!
As the crowd watched in astonishment, Su Yi took to the skies and swung his sword.
As if cleaving through the firmament.
Where the sword qi went, the flames filling the formation went out.
“This is bad!” The twenty-four False Eternals maintaining the formation couldn’t take it anymore. All of them staggered back on impact. Some coughed up blood, some lost their balance, and some paled…
“Do something! Hurry! We absolutely cannot let him escape!” bellowed Taishu Gong.
Many of those present took action at once, drawing their treasures and launching them at the formation’s interior with single-minded determination.
Gu Huaxian took out the Western Paradise Spirit Mark. The entirety of the Western Paradise Spirit Mountains manifested and fell with dazzling radiance.
The little girl raised her hand and flung a gray spear manifested of the power of the natural order.
That aside, numerous other secret arts, treasures, and divine abilities brimming with all-encompassing destructive power flew toward Su Yi at once.
It was an utterly terrifying sight!
Throughout the Borderless Mountain, everyone was astonished. Everything shook, and heaven and earth dimmed.
The experts watching from outside the mountain couldn’t even open their eyes. They retreated repeatedly, overcome with fright.
But even in the face of this overwhelming onslaught, Su Yi didn’t retreat.
Instead, he stepped into the air, blue robes fluttering around him, and circulated the full extent of his cultivation base.
Within his soul, the Sword of the Nine Hells gave rise to mysterious, inscrutable power.
His Heart Soul posed as if about to grip a sword, scattering countless beams of the Light of the Heart.
Within his body, the power of the Epoch Spark blazed like a furnace, fusing into the Sword of Proximity.
Su Yi’s essence, qi, and spirit instantly caught ablaze. He was pushing himself to his limit.
When he attacked, he fused the power of the Sword of the Nine Hells into his sword.
It was just one slash, as simple as could be.
The descending Western Paradise Spirit Mountains were sent flying like a kicked ball. Cracks formed in the mountainsides, and there was no telling how much Buddhist light dispersed.
Gu Huaxian paled. Blood flowed from the corners of her lips as she suffered a backlash.
Bang!!
The little girl’s gray spear exploded as if it were made out of paper, scattering into a rain of light. She swayed on her feet, her brow furrowing.
Boom!
All manner of unparalleled divine abilities and Daoist weapons… broke beneath a single slash, without ever reaching their target. None could withstand a single hit!
Startled cries rose and fell in waves.
As the abilities, weapons, and magics broke, their users suffered the resulting backlash!
In the end, the entire Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation collapsed.
It was as if a world of divine flames had been blasted to bits. Countless streaks of divine flame swept outward, spreading throughout the Borderless Mountain like an ocean of fire. It illuminated everything on all sides, the nine heavens and the ten earths.
Su Yi, meanwhile, emerged from the sea of flame, his tall, upright figure seemingly everlasting and indestructible!
All of this took quite some time to describe, but in truth, it all happened the moment Su Yi swung his sword.
He hadn’t just destroyed a whole group of enemies’ attacks in a single blow. He’d destroyed the formation, too.
This was what it meant to be truly unstoppable. There was nothing he could not break!
When his enemies saw Su Yi emerge from the all-encompassing sea of flame, their expressions filled with horror and disbelief.
Everyone was certain that Su Yi had relied on some sort of external power to break free, but… None could even imagine just how terrifying this external power had to be!
He’d just forced back a whole group of False Eternals, with all their unparalleled weapons and divine abilities. Even the little girl born of the natural order had gotten involved. Who could have imagined that Su Yi would nonetheless destroy their onslaught in a single blow?
Just… just what kind of attack was that?
Heaven and earth shook as light filled the sky. As the raging current of destructive power spread, Heavenbreaker Peak collapsed, the pieces melting like candle wax.
But no one was paying any attention. All eyes were on the tall, upright figure approaching through the sea of flame.
The onlookers felt as if they’d just witnessed a miracle!
