Chapter 760: A Burst of Energy

Although he could sense the danger, Su Yi wasn’t at all concerned.

Rather, he’d already anticipated that the hostile factions would set something like this up, so it wasn’t at all surprising.

Boom!

As he pondered, Su Yi struck once more. Streaks of sword qi surged into being, then swept outward, blanketing the world and descending upon Starpluck mountain like fierce gales and a sudden downpour.

Recently, his cultivation had increased to the peak of the early-stage Spiritual Incarnation Realm, and he’d already started comprehending the Void Cosmos and the Supreme Ultimate, the rare and supreme Mysterious Truths sealed within the Sword of the Nine Hells.

It was no exaggeration to say that his abilities had grown to a whole new level since his tribulation, when he cut down twenty-five Spiritual Revolution cultivators.

Although he fought barehanded, the overflowing power of his sword qi could have easily cut through elite Spiritual Revolution cultivators like Huan Shanglin and Xie Zhibei!

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled as sword qi swept forth like the tide.

When this slash descended, the nine formations blanketing Starpluck Mountain surged intensely, their rumbling reverberating throughout the nine heavens.

In the distant onlookers’ eyes, Su Yi was like an immortal demonstrating his abilities, his sword falling like rain!

This forceful, domineering scene made Huan Tiandu and the others’ expressions shift. They were starting to realize how strong Su Yi really was.

“We can’t let that whelp continue his savagery. Everyone, go ahead and start!” Huan Tiandu issued orders without any further hesitation.

Weng!

Suddenly, a black alms bowl appeared in his hand and revolved in the air, unleashing unearthly and unsettling demonic flames.

“Activate!”

Grand Elder Lie Yangchong of Tianji Dao Mountain bellowed as he summoned a blue jade bottle. Dazzling blue divine radiance erupted from its interior.

Practically simultaneously, various treasures appeared in the hands of the other Spiritual Revolution cultivators.

Flying swords, Daoist seals, jade rulers, gourds, wooden fish, vajras… Every treasure erupted with different wondrous powers, their light soaring into the heavens and shaking the landscape.

A full sixty-three Spiritual Revolution cultivators were attacking at once!

When they unleashed their treasures, their terrifying powers fused together, outlining an even more terrifying formation.

With Starpluck Mountain at their center, one blood-red altar after another burst through the earth throughout the surrounding ten-mile radius.

There were lots of them, three hundred and sixty in total!

Every blood-red altar was covered in intricate and elaborate totems.

The sound of wind and thunder rumbled through the air as a thousand-foot demonic crimson figure appeared reflected over each of the blood-red altars. They were bathed in the surging power of the formation’s lightning, and their ferocity filled the heavens.

It was as if three hundred and sixty demonic gods had descended upon the human world!

The Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation!

This was an ancient killing formation passed down in the Demonic Huan Family.

When sixty-three Spiritual Revolution cultivators circulated it in unison, its power transformed heaven and earth until the entire landscape resembled a demonic domain.

The distant onlookers gasped, and all of them were shaken.

The formation was so powerful that even watching from a distance was enough to make Spiritual Revolution cultivators give in to despair!

And Su Yi, who was standing in the sky, was plunged into the demonic domain. Bloody, baleful qi surged on all sides.

Three hundred and sixty heavenly demons manifested?of the?formation’s tower let out infuriated, heaven-shaking roars and charged at him.

“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”

Their roars boomed like thunder, their demonic roars shaking the world. The ferocious and terrifying power of the formation transformed into blood-colored lightning and wrapped around every last heavenly demon. contemporary romance

Their auras were strong enough to kill modern Spiritual Revolution cultivators with ease!

“Not bad. A demonic formation like this is actually a bit interesting,” said Su Yi. The depths of his dark eyes showed no sign of alarm. On the contrary, he looked pleased. A killing formation like this was indeed worth breaking.

Otherwise, this would have been too boring.

However, in everyone else’s eyes, Su Yi was like a single, solitary little boat before a massive tidal wave. Compared to the thousand-foot heavenly demons, he seemed unquestionably minuscule.

Boom!

A grand battle erupted, throwing the air into disarray. Bloody light and baleful demonic energy filled the skies.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi was surrounded on all sides!

The distant onlookers felt a chill course down their spines as they realized just how terrifying the allied factions’ setup was.

Su Yi was a practically invincible legend of his days, but as strong as he was, he’d fallen into an ambush. He was beset on all sides and in grave peril!

“I’m afraid he won’t even make it through the first round unless he uses his trump cards,” Huan Tiandu said coldly from the mountaintop, running his fingers through his beard.

“Setting up such a grand killing formation expended countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and it takes all sixty-three of us working together to circulate. It would be?stranger?if it weren’t enough to deal with a Spiritual Incarnation cultivator like Su Yi,” said Lie Chongyang of Tianji Dao Mountain, looking quite relaxed.

“It’s a pity. A million years might pass without encountering another such heaven-defying figure. If he lives, he’ll surely have a shot at proving his Dao and becoming an Emperor, yet he just had to go and become our enemy. It’s truly a pity.”?The leader of the Burning Sun Sect, Zhao Beizhen, sighed and shook his head.

These major powers were all perfectly calm and relaxed, as if they were watching a fire from a distance. As they conversed, they spoke of Su Yi as if he were a caged bird with no hope of escaping.

“Don’t get complacent, everyone. The boy surely has cards left up his sleeves,” Old monk Clarifying Origins of the Pure Emptiness Buddhist Temple reminded them.

“He might have cards up his sleeves, but don’t we as well? This is only the first obstacle in his path. Su Yi might jump around a while longer, but he won’t escape his doom!” Huan Tiandu said with confidence.

However, he’d only just said this when something changed within the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation.

Within the formation, over three hundred demonic figures had long since surrounded Su Yi.

But then,?unstoppably?dazzling sword qi shot forth!

Each streak was as radiant as the light of dawn. They tore through the skies and cleaved through the air, emanating unmatched sharpness.

Boom!

When the streaks of sword qi descended, the thousand-foot demonic figure broke into pieces, transformed back into the surging power of the formation, and dissipated.

Sword qi swept forth like bolts of cloth and arced like rainbows, shooting in all directions. It seemed nothing could stand in its way!

In just a few breaths of time, more than half of the heavenly demons had been destroyed.

It was then that everyone saw Su Yi clearly.

His clothing billowed around him, and ripple-like circles of the light of the Grand Dao revolved around him. He seemed free and unrestrained, like an immortal gazing down upon the human world.

Streak after streak of unstoppable sword qi flew from his hands, crushing the heavenly demons’ ranks.

Su Yi, meanwhile, was perfectly intact, without the slightest dirt on his robes or a single hair out of place.

This left the distant onlookers wide-eyed, tongue-tied, and overcome with astonishment.

Moments prior, Su Yi had been surrounded on all sides, with danger at every corner. Who’d have thought that just a few moments of effort could turn the situation around? HIs sword qi had cut the heavenly demons to pieces!

How magnificent was his bearing? And how domineering?

“This….”

“He’s fighting barehanded, with no external objects at all. He broke the power of the heavenly demons with nothing but his attainments in the Dao of the Sword!”

“Dammit!”

Startled cries rang out atop Starpluck Mountain.

Huo Tiandu, Lie Yangchong, and the others’ initial calm indifference gave way to rage, alarm, and bewilderment.

They almost dared not believe their eyes!

They’d anticipated that Su Yi would neutralize this particular threat, but they figured that he’d have to use his trump cards to do so!

Who could have expected this? Never mind his trump cards—Su Yi hadn’t even needed his sword to shatter the heavenly demons besieging him on all sides!

This was unquestionably beyond Huo Tiandu and the others’ expectations.

When he saw that Su Yi was about to take down the last of the illusory demons, Huo Tiandu dared not be negligent. He shouted, “All of you, heed my orders and attack together!”

Instantly, the hundred-plus Spiritual Incarnation cultivators spread throughout Starpluck Mountain attacked together, taking out formation discs and imbuing them with their full power.

Boom! Boom!

The three hundred and sixty-five crimson altars spread throughout the surrounding ten-mile radius rumbled in unison, and the power of the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation changed.

Countless corpses emerged from underground, forming an undead army thousands strong. The grand procession surrounded Su Yi.

The corpses were obviously ancient experts fallen who-knew-how-long-ago. Their entire bodies emanated ferocity and bloodlust, and as they were swathed in the energy fluctuations of the formations, they seemed like a demonic horde straight from the pits of hell.

Even more terrifyingly, the illusory heavenly demons reformed after Su Yi cut them down and charged at him once more.

All of a sudden, the power of the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation underwent an earth-shaking transformation.

The distant onlookers were still overcome with astonishment at Su Yi’s contemptuous bearing, but when they saw this, their hair stood on end.

Even Gu Cangning, Zeng Pu, and the others fully confident in Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hands and feet. Their hearts sank.

Power like this was enough to make anyone give in to despair!

“Even if this second obstacle can’t defeat that little whelp, it will at least fritter away his cultivation base and leave him heavily injured! When that happens, he’ll be no different from a fish on the chopping block we can butcher as we please!” Huan Tiandu said coldly.

When the other major powers saw this, they relaxed, and they couldn’t help but look upon Su Yi with pity.

The seven allied factions had called upon their full strength and even their last resorts and trump cards. Furthermore, they’d planned this meticulously.

In the modern era, who beneath the heavens could possibly defend against such a setup?

“Corpses puppets full of potent poison…”

When he saw this, Su Yi vaguely understood what was going on.

It was no wonder the great factions had chosen the Glittering Ghost Domain for their duel. They’d wanted to use the bodies buried within this great forbidden zone to refine corpse puppets!

The corpse puppets weren’t particularly strong, but they contained corpse poison accumulated over countless years. Furthermore, there were a lot of them. Even if he killed them all, the entire grand formation would be left full of poison.

But this couldn’t threaten Su Yi.

Corpse poison was insidious, and the slightest contamination could deal enormous damage to even Spirit Dao cultivators. However, it wasn’t incurable.

The heavenly demons manifested of the formation’s power, however, were rather troublesome.

They weren’t just powerful enough to compare with Huan Shanglin, Xie Zhibei, and other top-notch Spiritual Revolution exports. More importantly, they were unkillable so long as the grand formation remained standing!

This meant he’d have to waste a lot of otherwise unnecessary power.

“Forget it! I’ll just have to break through the formation in a single burst of strength!”

When he reached this conclusion, Su Yi no longer hesitated. He flipped his palm, and—

Clang!

The impassioned hum of a sword swept forth like the tide, echoing through the air.

Abstruse Celestial, which Su Yi nourished within his Grand Dao Spirit Palace, entered the world!
