First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1241 - Killing as if Out for a Casual Stroll

The atmosphere was stifled and oppressive. Throughout the surrounding area, no one spoke.

The crowd’s hearts had completely given in to fright.

The World Kings looked at each other, then joined forces without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

The earth swayed and the heavens shook.

A manner of treasures soared into the firmament, bringing with them dazzling divine flames.

Countless astonishing secret arts exploded into being, bearing down and collapsing the skies.

Their stinging, dazzling radiance illuminated the formerly ink-dark skies.

A group of World Kings were attacking together. How could their power possibly be ordinary?

In the blink of an eye, a calamitous vision unfolded. The crowd felt as if they were witnessing the apocalypse, and their hearts filled with terror.

And all of this was targeted at Su Yi.

Su Yi’s expression didn’t so much as waver.

He took a step forward, and...

Boom!

The soft, gentle sound of his footsteps reverberated through the air like thunder.

Heaven and earth were tumultuous and explosive, yet now, it was as if a massive hand had restricted them. The rampaging divine flames and resplendent, imposing treasure lights, the startling destructive energy fluctuations of secret arts...

All of them abruptly froze in place, like a scene from a painting.

The aura of a Law of the Grand Dao descended like the curtain of heaven, full of unsurpassed power as it enveloped the peak completely.

The Laws of Restricting the Profound!

It sealed the space on all sides, suppressing the transformations of all living things!

It restricted any and all powers of the Grand Dao that weren’t strong enough to resist.

It seemed that even sound had been sealed, as everything went utterly silent.

The crowd was astonished, and their eyes widened.

From their perspective, it seemed as if heaven and earth had stilled, frozen in place. The World King combatants froze mid-strike, locked in strange positions.

Their expressions were clearly visible. There was surprise, anger, confusion, and astonishment...

Their treasures and Daoist magics were like a colorful, surreal painting. They hovered in the air, unmoving.

“This...” Countless onlookers felt their scalps go numb with fright. This was far too strange!

And the frozen World Kings reacted as if they’d been struck by lightning. Their minds practically crumbled.

They circulated their cultivation bases like mad, but to their horror, they discovered it was to no avail. They couldn’t slough off this seal.

“What kind of power of the Grand Dao is this?” someone said in panic.

“Just who is this guy? How could he possess such unbelievable power? He’s only... a little over twenty years old!” said another, practically overcome with astonishment.

Shang Wenzheng, Shang Qingping, and Yao Xue weren’t affected at all, but they could see what was happening. Heaven and earth froze in place, and everyone around them was as still and unmoving as a clay statue.

When they saw the World Kings' treasures and secret arts paused in midair, their hair stood on end. They were deeply shaken. Just what... strange power is this?

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Heaven and earth were silent, as if frozen in place. The only noise was the soft thudding of Su Yi’s footsteps.

Like the sound of imminent death, the music of hell.

Everyone’s heart was on tenterhooks. They watched helplessly as Su Yi walked amidst the treasures frozen in the sky, as if he were out for a casual stroll.

He swung his sleeves.

More than ten treasures disappeared into thin air.

All manner of wondrous and unfathomable Daoist magics popped like soap bubbles.

The World Kings’ eyes bulged with terror and despair. They were on the verge of breaking down.

Just who is this guy!?

He’s so strong that we can’t even fight back in the slightest!

“The Laws of the Violet Dome Star Realm really are a bit lacking. No wonder Lil’ Jianlou had to proceed to other star realms to temper his Dao of the Sword shortly after becoming a World King...” Su Yi murmured somewhat ruefully.

Had these World Kings mastered Laws comparable to Heavenly Prayer, Cosmic Silence, or Spirit Nirvana, they couldn’t possibly have been too weak to even fight back a little.

Of course, at the end of the day, this was due to Su Yi’s overly terrifying cultivation base.

Even before proving his Dao and becoming a World King, he could slay Heavenly Longevity experts with ease!

And he could at least contend with Oneness experts!

After proving his Dao and entering the Path of Heaven’s Ascension, he smoothly established a chaos ground within himself, forging a Root of Heaven and Earth. His foundations were unprecedented!

As for his opponents? Even the strongest of them was only in the late-stage Heavenly Longevity Realm. How could they possibly be a match for Su Yi?

Su Yi shook his head and gave the matter no further thought. Instead, he turned to look at the World Kings.

It wasn’t cold, but they shuddered beneath his gaze, their expressions shifting. Many of them gazed at him as if pleading for their lives.

Su Yi laughed, then waved his sleeves.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One World King after another exploded, like ice statues beneath a hammer. Their bodies split into pieces, scattered into ash, and dissipated.

“Stay your hand——!” An infuriated roar suddenly rang out.

Boom!

All of Cold Mountain swayed violently.

The power of countless formations awakened, surging with powerful energy fluctuations.

A man in red robes swung his sword with all his might, like a deity descending into the human world.

The Laws of Restricting the Profound had blanketed all of heaven and earth just moments prior, but now, they exploded with a bang.

The originally frozen scene shattered as those sealed came back to life, like fish struggling free of a layer of ice.

All of them gasped, their breathing ragged as they cried out in panic.

Earlier, they’d been completely sealed. It was like a nightmare, and it left them on the verge of breaking down.

Only Lan Haoyun and two other World Kings remained.

Now that they’d been freed, they fled immediately!

Especially Lan Haoyun. He shouted hoarsely, “Ancestor, hurry! Hurry up and kill that bastard!”

The red-robed man was none other than their Oneness Realm ancestor, Lan Shandu.

Lan Shandu’s face was overcast, and his tone was murderous. “Rest assured, tonight, he’ll die beyond a shadow of a doubt!!”

Terrifying murderous intent spread from this Oneness Realm World King. Heaven and earth changed color, and everything in all directions dimmed.

“Bastard, do you dare step forth and fight me?” Another voice rang out.

There, beneath the distant dome of heaven, stood a beautiful older woman with silver hair. She held a spear, and her eyes flashed like cold lightning.

Lan Shangshui!

One of the ancient Lan Family’s two Oneness Realm World Kings!

Uproar ensued.

The members of the Lan Family felt as if their saviors had arrived. All of them were excited and mad with delight.

Quite a few of them even felt the urge to weep.

The originally panicked, flustered guests all inwardly sighed in relief.

Here in the Violet Dome Star Realm, Oneness Realm World King represented the pinnacle of power!

And now, there were two of them fighting together!

Shang Wenzheng, Shang Qingping, and Yao Xue’s hearts were heavy. All of them instinctively looked at Su Yi.

Only for Su Yi to take out a jug of wine, sip from it, and say, “You’ve kept me waiting.”

The crowd was baffled. What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t tell me...

Before they could wrap their heads around it, Su Yi stretched out his right hand. His fair, clearly defined fingers grabbed the air.

Beneath the dome of heaven.

The white-haired beautiful spear-wielder, Lan Shangshui, suddenly stiffened.

A moment later, she struggled violently, her entire body surging with Dao Light. Firelight soared into the air.

But mere moments later, it was as if the hand of god had seized her, preventing her from moving a muscle.

“No——!”

Lan Shangshui seemed to realize something, and she cried out in panic.

Bang!

Before her voice had even finished echoing through the air, she exploded beneath the night sky. Piping hot blood splattered, pouring down like a waterfall and painting the landscape bright red.

The crowd was so startled that their souls practically left their bodies.

A Oneness powerhouse was crushed to death!?

Off in the distance, the red-robed swordsman, Lan Shandu, reacted as if he’d been struck by lightning. He staggered several steps back, then turned and fled!

He had arrived like a god descending into mortal dust, cleaving through the Laws of Restricting the Profound. His majesty had borne down on everything around him, and he had gazed down on all others present from on high.

Yet now, he fled like a panicked rabbit, completely disregarding the clansmen he’d left behind!

The disparity was far too huge.

To the point that many of the onlookers struggled to keep up with what was happening.

But Su Yi naturally wouldn’t let him escape.

He raised his finger and drew it through the air.

Kcch!

Several tens of thousands of feet away, a streak of sword qi flashed into being and streaked by.

Immediately afterward, Lan Shandu’s body split in two, each half gushing with a fountain of blood.

“Just... who are you!?” He turned around with great difficulty and hissed, bitterness written all over his face.

But before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, both halves of his bisected body crumbled into ash, which disappeared into the night winds.

A massive, perfectly straight, ten-thousand-foot rift remained where he’d died. A long time passed, but it showed no sign of dissipating.

That was the mark of sword qi boring a hole through the sky!

Now, both of the Lan Family’s Oneness Realm powerhouses had been executed on the spot, each with a single casual, understated gesture!

It wasn’t much different from how Su Yi had killed those Heavenly Longevity World Kings. Just like before, each died to a single lethal attack, slain with casual ease!

With his current cultivation, the young lord can already crush Oneness experts... Meng Changyun sighed to himself.

The entire area fell deathly silent.

Everyone was rooted to the spot.

World Kings!

How terrifying were they? Yet now, they were falling like grass beneath a scythe on the peak of Cold Mountain. One perished after another.

Heavenly Longevity World Kings couldn’t survive!

Oneness World Kings couldn’t cut it either!

“How... How is this possible...?” Lan Haoyun’s mind completely broke down. He wanted to cry, but he had no tears.

The leader of the ancient Lan Family was an illustrious figure famed throughout the Violet Dome Star Realm. His prestige was as vast as the ocean, and no one dared treat him with disrespect.

Yet now, he instantly seemed to age countless years. He was utterly disconsolate, as if he’d lost his pillar of support!

The other guests were long since terrified out of their wits, their faces ashen.

In this moment, they realized on a visceral level how terrifying of a massacre Su Yi’s so-called “getting even” was!

World Kings were falling like rain!

Almost nothing like this had ever occurred in the Violet Dome Star Realm before.

It wasn’t just bloody. Rather, it turned the heavens on their heads, changing the Violet Dome Star Realm’s balance of power!

Thud!

Off in the distance, the young leader of the Lan Family, Lan Tianqi, suddenly knelt and looked at Shang Wenzheng. He said bitterly, “Uncle Shang, your nephew is willing to take Miss Qingping as his wife, so please, calm your fury! Please, make that senior stop!”

The entire area fell deathly silent.

Everyone’s faces filled with disbelief.

Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that the young master of the Lan Family would attempt to stop the massacre in such a way.

It seemed utterly absurd. Does he really think all of this is happening because he refused a marriage alliance with the Shang Family?

“Is there... something wrong with this kid’s brain?” Meng Changyun exclaimed.

Shang Wenzheng coldly disregarded him.

Shang Qingping and Yao Xue looked at Lan Tianqi as if he were a complete idiot.

Su Yi couldn’t help but be stunned too.

How much despair and helplessness did he feel to think something like that would work?

But it was then that someone cried out in delight, “Family Head, we’re saved! Our distinguished guest is almost here!

An elderly servant rushed over from afar, visibly overcome with excitement as he delivered his report to Lan Haoyun.
