First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 871: Capturing an Empress

The metallic hum of a sword reverberated throughout the heavens.

Su Yi stepped through the air, like a banished immortal soaring through the sky as he charged at the woman in black.

Only now did Ye Tianqu and his companions see just how terrifying this young man as calm as a passing cloud was when he fought seriously.

His tall, upright figure was like a sword ripping through the heavens.

His entire body emanated golden Dao light, and although he was obviously only in the Spiritual Revolution Realm, his imposing presence far surpassed the world’s Spirit Dao cultivators!

Even just watching from afar, Ye Tianqu and the others felt a prickling pain in their souls. They felt stifled and terrified.

Whoosh!

As Su Yi attacked, sword qi interwove, filling the sky with flowing light. Its radiance illuminated the entire landscape and ripped through the nearby skies.

His bearing was like an immortal performing a sword dance, his might shaking the world!

“Hmph!” The woman in the black dress snorted, and her eyes flashed like cold lightning. She used her fingers as a blade and repeatedly slashed the air.

Streak after streak of unearthly red saber qi accompanied by the energy fluctuations of Profound Dao Laws shot through the air, clashing with the dense onslaught of sword qi.

Boom!

The entire stretch of sky was thrown into disarray, and the landscape shook.

As the destructive currents ran rampant, heaven and earth dimmed.

Su Yi and the woman in black were instantly locked in fierce combat.

One swung his sword with unrestrained ease, as free as an immortal.

One emanated the imposing power of an Empress, and her every gesture displayed a cultivation base powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.

But against all expectations, as they fought, the mere Spiritual Revolution Realm Su Yi wasn’t at a disadvantage!

“When did such a heaven-defying figure exist in this world?” Ye Tianqu’s heart shook, but he almost dared not believe his eyes.

“This… really is an unprecedented miracle..” Tu Yong muttered to himself.

The deeper one’s cultivation, the better one understood just how enormous the gap between the Spiritual Revolution Realm and the Imperial Realm was. contemporary romance

It might seem like they were just one realm apart, but in truth, there was an entire Dao between them!

Throughout the long history of cultivation, that gap had been like an insurmountable natural barrier. Practically no one could cross or break it!

Yet now, this miraculous battle was unfolding before Tu Yong and Ye Tianqu’s eyes. How could they not be stunned?

Who is that young man? And where did he come from?

……

One question after another rose within their hearts.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Su Yi’s eyes shone with contemptuous pride as the battle reached its climax.

His attacks weren’t all that fast, but they had an unconstrained, wondrous charm, as if he were seizing fortune from the heavens. They looked casual and understated, but their power was extraordinary.

In the face of this onslaught, the woman in black couldn’t so much as scratch Su Yi. On the contrary, every secret art she unleashed, Su Yi destroyed!

Her expression was increasingly solemn.

She had no idea where Su Yi had come from, nor did she understand why a Spiritual Revolution cultivator like him had such a terrifying cultivation base.

But she knew she had to use her full strength!

Clang!

She drew her Dao Weapon, a silver short halberd shining with dazzlingly white lightning and emanating destructive energy fluctuations.

Every attack was like a sudden thunderbolt, shaking the world below. The dense bolts of silvery lightning scattered, dancing through the air and pouring down like a waterfall.

Even the aftermath was enough to destroy mountains and rivers with ease.

Ye Tianqu and Tu Yong hurriedly moved further away for fear of the shockwaves.

But Su Yi, who was right in the thick of it, made no attempt to dodge. He forged valiantly ahead, sword swinging.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Abstruse Celestial clashed with the silver short halberd. Sword qi and lightning repeatedly surged forth and destroyed each other. The scattered destructive power devastated the surrounding area, reducing both the rocks and the vegetation to ash.

A startling vision of destruction appeared in the air.

Watching from a distance, it was as if two gods were locked in fierce combat!

But astonishingly, as fierce as the battle was, Su Yi wasn’t suppressed. On the contrary, the longer he fought, the more valiant he got. He was gradually suppressing his opponent’s offensive!

“Dammit!” The woman in black couldn’t help but feel both surprised and furious. Waves of shock coursed through her heart.

She was an early-stage Profound Illumination Empress. One more step, and she’d enter the middle stage of the realm. Furthermore, she’d mastered a complete Profound Dao Law of lightning; even compared to others of her cultivation, she was a first-rate expert.

She was nothing like those Emperors who’d yet to even condense Profound Dao Laws.

But even when she used her entire cultivation base and tried every ability at her disposal, she couldn’t defeat her young, early-stage Spiritual Revolution Realm opponent!!

Over the course of eight thousand years of cultivation, the woman in black had experienced countless fierce battles, but despite her abundance of combat experience, this was her first time encountering such an unbelievable opponent.

When she found that Su Yi was gradually starting to suppress her, she was inwardly ill at ease.

“I recall that the strongest inheritance of the Blood Pheasants is called the Thousand-Eye Netherworld Thunder Calling. If you don’t use it now, you’re sure to lose,” Su Yi suddenly called out.

The woman’s pupils constricted, and she said coldly, “Then I’ll just have to try it!”

Su Yi laughed dryly, and his offensive suddenly changed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He was suddenly as unrestrained as raging flames, and as quick as lightning. His indomitable sword qi now displayed an explosive, destructive momentum.

The Apex of Genesis Dao Intent was the combination of three supreme Dao Mysterious Truths: Genesis, the Void Cosmos, and the Supreme Palace. It was like the flowing golden light of dawn, dazzling and radiant, and it filled every last streak of sword qi.

His force and momentum was many times stronger than before!

“So, in their earlier clash, that fellow Daoist… was actually holding back….”

This realization left Ye Tianqu and Tu Yong utterly dumbstruck. They couldn’t have been any more astonished.

A Spiritual Revolution cultivator fighting an Imperial Expert was already a nigh unprecedented miracle.

Yet… Su Yi had been holding back. Only now did he put his full strength on display. Who would believe such a thing if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?

The woman in black sensed it too, and she visibly lost her composure. Where did this heaven-defying monster come from?

But there was no time for her to give the matter any further thought. The power of Su Yi’s Dao of the Sword rose abruptly, leaving his opponent in dire straits.

Splurt!

Just a few blinks of the eye later, a?bloody gash appeared on the woman’s left arm. Blood sprayed through the air, and if she hadn’t dodged right in the nick of time, that slash would have taken her arm clean off!

The woman in black was both alarmed and furious. She shouted, “Fine! I’ll just have to show you what I’m really made of!”

She’d only just said this when her entire body exploded with blood-colored shadows. They filled the skies, dying the entire area an eye-catching red.

Boom!

The skies trembled.

Thousands of streaks, each a manifestation of Profound Dao Laws, spread through the air, transforming into vertical eyes.

Each vertical eye was the size of a fist, and their gazes were cold and strange. They were shrouded in radiant silver lightning.

When the vertical eyes appeared, it was as if countless primordial demonic gods had opened their eyes to gaze down upon the human world.

Off in the distance, Ye Tianqu coughed up blood and closed his eyes.

Tu Yong’s face paled, and he staggered as if about to fall. He, too, immediately shut his eyes.

The moment the vertical eyes appeared, both of them felt a strange, destructive power suppressing their souls, which were immediately damaged!

This was what made the Thousand-Eye Netherworld Thunder Calling so terrifying.

This was the supreme legacy of the Blood Pheasants. Rumor had it that it was derived from the innate talent of the Thousand-Eye Blood Pheasant, a Xiantian demonic bird.

When used, thousands of vertical eyes each released an invisible power. Anyone they gazed upon was struck by Netherworld Soul Lightning, which could easily shatter and destroy their soul.

“Go! The woman in black let out a clear shout!

Rumble! Boom!

Thousands of vertical eyes descended upon Su Yi.

The surging power of Netherworld Soul Lightning was like the overturning of mountains and seas, and it descended upon Su Yi from all directions.

The woman in black was certain that even an opponent of the same cultivation would take heavy damage in the face of this attack!

No matter how heaven-defying this young Spiritual Revolution cultivator was, there was no way he could survive an attack against his soul!

“Little brat, let’s see how you block this!” The woman in black said icily. It was as if she could already picture Su Yi’s soul shattering into powder.

But suddenly, the distant Su Yi laughed. “I forgot to tell you earlier, but soul attacks are useless against me.”

The woman in black was stunned, but before she could react, Su Yi swept his sword through the skies.

Boom!

The thousands of vertical eyes filling the air exploded, one after another, like autumn winds scattering blowing away the fallen leaves. One slash was enough to destroy them all.

Splurt!

The woman in black paled and coughed up blood. Her delicate frame quivered.

Her secret art had been destroyed. Even though she was an Empress, she suffered the resulting backlash!

Su Yi was telling the truth. With the Sword of the Nine Hells to defend his sea of consciousness, even actual soul cultivators would struggle to catch him off guard with their secret abilities.

“Bastard!!” The woman’s eyes were bloodshot; it seemed she was already thoroughly infuriated. She waved her silver halberd like mad, and the terrifying might of an Empress shook the surrounding area.

Su Yi no longer showed mercy.

Their earlier clash had been enough for him to get a sense of his opponent’s abilities. She was at best a little stronger than Pi Mo’s seventh disciple, Tao Qianqiu.

And Su Yi had defeated Tao Qianqiu and his companions three against one outside Ziluo City!

Three snaps of the finger later, thirteen bloody gashes had appeared on the woman in black’s body. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pallid.

Ten snaps of the finger later, and she was severely injured. Another slash sent her flying, and her silver short halberd flew from her grip. She repeatedly coughed up blood, and even her qi showed signs of disarray.

But from beginning to end, Su Yi didn’t have so much as a single hair out of place!

By now, the woman in black was fully aware of her predicament, and she immediately chose to flee.

Although the populace said that “Emperors were like gods,” they weren’t really deities. They naturally wouldn’t throw themselves to their deaths in the face of certain defeat.

Alas, Su Yi had no intention of giving the woman in black any chance of escape. His voice boomed like thunder as he uttered a Daoist invocation.

His fleeing opponent’s numerous wounds suddenly burst with wisp after wisp of sword qi, which crisscrossed?all over her body.

Splurt splurt splurt!

Blood fell from the woman’s body like rain, and she cried out in agony and staggered back.

Before she could steady herself, Su Yi wrapped his hand around her snowy white throat.

As if holding a trophy of war grand enough to shake everything beneath the heavens!

A young man in blue stood upright in the skies, like a god or immortal!
