First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 620: The Perceiving Chaos Heaven-Shaking Seal

The Baleful Demon Heaven-Plundering Formation.

Eighteen Gathering Stars cultivators served as the formation’s core. Seventy-two Grain Avoidance cultivators formed the perimeter, with thirty-six Origin Palace cultivators in between.

Every Gathering Stars cultivator fused with the power of two Origin Palace and four Grain Avoidance cultivators, as if they’d become a singular entity.

And all eighteen Gathering Stars cultivators’ energies cooperated harmoniously with each other, too.

The formation was like interweaving chains, and it surrounded Su Yi completely.

“Kill him!” shouted Tu Baizhen.

Rumble!

Heaven and earth shook, and baleful demonic energy filled the skies.

Once the whole formation was in motion, terrifying demonic qi churned, filling the air and blotting out the sun.

The faintly audible roaring of demonic gods rang out, along with the wailing of ghosts.

Li Changlin and the other martial artists could no longer suppress their overwhelming awe and astonishment, and they retreated further away.

The power of the combat formation was just too terrifying. Even just watching from afar, their courage failed them.

There was no need to even question it: with their strength, were they to get swept up into this, they’d be reduced to ash!

Tu Baizhen’s eyes flashed like cold lightning as he stared at Su Yi.

He was actually eager to see just how Su Yi planned to handle this. In the world of cultivation, such large-group formations were originally intended to counter the powerful.

The Baleful Demon Heaven-Plundering Formation was one of the Celestial Prison Demon Court’s top combat formations. Once activated, it could suppress even Spiritual Manifestation Realm existences!

“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”

Roars rang out, shaking the heavens and affecting even the surrounding landscape.

The demonic cultivators within the formation unleashed various treasures and secret arts, forming eighteen boundless energy currents which swept toward Su Yi from all sides.

Each and every strike contained enough power to make a Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivator tremble!

Su Yi, however, shook his head. “Nothing but clay chickens and porcelain dogs.”

Boom!

He took to the skies, his hands forming a profound and unfathomable combat seal.

A rain of clear light circulated around him, permeated with the Dao Charm of Yin and Yang. The light converged into a seal, half white, half black. It was only the size of a cattail fan, yet it burst with limitlessly terrifying destructive power.

The firm and forceful power of Yang and the soft and flexible power of Yin clashed and intermingled within it, guiding surging, circulating fluctuations of destructive energy.

As the seal formed, a hundred feet of sky seemed to cave in with Su Yi at its center, forming a whirlpool of the Grand Dao.

Half of the whirlpool was Yin, the other Yang.

Black and white surged and clashed within.

It was a magnificent yet startlingly destructive spectacle.

Rumble!

When the formation’s eighteen currents of energy shot forth, a heaven-shaking blast reverberated throughout the surrounding area.

Motes of light poured down like a waterfall, and energy swept through like a hurricane.

Even Tu Baizhen couldn’t help but gasp.

He truly couldn’t imagine how a Gathering Stars Realm cultivator like Su Yi could take this head-on.

Off in the distance, Li Changlin and the other martial artists were seeing stars. The terrifying collisions were deafening, and their eardrums were on the verge of bursting. Their hearts shook, and they almost fell.

Their cultivation simply wasn’t enough for this!

Is he dead?

The cultivators forming the Baleful Demon Heaven Plundering Formation gazed intently into the distance.

When the smoke dissipated and the rain of light receded, an unbelievable scene greeted them.

Su Yi stood in the air, blue robes swaying around him, without so much as a single hair out of place!

An inscrutable and profound combat seal revolved around him, drawing upon the power of Yin and Yang. It absorbed all the power within its hundred-foot range, leaving not even a drop behind.

The more it absorbed, the more terrifying the combat seal became!

The perfectly-round combat seal seemed like a black hole capable of devouring any power in this world!

“This…” The cultivators of the Celestial Prison Demon Court watched in disbelief. Their pupils constricted.

Their attack was enough to flatten a Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivator!

Yet it hadn’t harmed Su Yi in the slightest. Moreover, Su Yi had used some sort of unbelievable method to block and devour it completely!

“What level of Daoist magic is that!?” Tu Baizhen’s expression changed dramatically. He, too, was stunned.

On his shoulders, the demonic infant’s blood-red eyes glinted with strange light. “That’s the Dao Charm of Yin and Yang, and the Daoist magic… seemed capable of absorbing others’ power toward one’s own ends… Incredible!”

The infant was curious, and quite surprised.

Bzzz!

Su Yi?paid this no?heed. His hands were like the Supreme Ultimate, the Yin-Yang, and his movements flowed like water or clouds as he condensed yet another seal.

This one used the five elements as its base, and it shone with the radiance of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five elements cycled, becoming one perfect whole. As soon as it appeared, it fused into the first seal.

Boom!

The seal before Su Yi surged with the Dao Light of the five elements, which?interwove?with the power of the whirlpool.

The power of the five elements circulated within the whirlpool, coexisting with Yin and Yang!

It was now stronger than before by a wide margin!

Even just watching from a distance, the Celestial Prison Demon Court cultivators felt suffocated. They sensed a potentially lethal threat.

“Kill him! Don’t stop attacking!” roared Tu Baizhen. He could tell this wasn’t looking good.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out, and demonic qi swept through the sky.

All manner of Daoist magics and secret arts combined, forming a flood of power that blanketed the skies. It was like a series of tidal waves; when one came crashing down, yet another took its place, over and over again. The resulting power was terrifying beyond limit!

Shockingly, Su Yi stood as firm as a boulder despite the onslaught, allowing the current to wash over him. He didn’t move in the slightest; their attacks couldn’t even shake him!

Moreover, the hundred feet around him were like a black hole, devouring the relentless attacks into nothingness!

The seal in front of him blazed with increasingly searing radiance, like a sun illuminating the surrounding landscape. It slowly circulated, producing a destructive aura that sent a chill down Tu Baizhen’s spine.

“Hurry up and use your magic treasures, you blithering idiots!” bellowed the demonic infant.

The demonic cultivators of the Celestial Prison Demon Court hurriedly did as they were told.

Boom!

One treasure after another flew through the air, filling the sky with radiant light.

Axes, tridents, sabers, spears, halberds, swords, seals, bottles… one after another, they unleashed their power and swept toward Su Yi.

But it was then that——

Su Yi beckoned the wind with one hand, lightning with another, and pressed down on the seal hovering in front of him.

Boom!

The perfectly spherical seal suddenly exploded, then swept out in all directions, taking the power of the hundred-foot energy vortex with it.

Were someone watching this from above, they’d see a radiant, eye-catching ripple form with Su Yi at its center.

Everywhere it passed, wind and lightning howled, Yin and Yang circulated, and the five elements scattered a rain of light. Their combined power blanketed heaven and earth.

Crunch! Crack! Snap!

Rapid-fire explosions filled the air.

The first to go were the various treasures, which broke as easily as paper mache, then disintegrated into nothingness.

Immediately afterward, the eighteen Gathering Stars Realm cultivators, thirty-six Origin Palace, and seventy-two Grain Avoidance cultivators exploded.

Blood poured down like a waterfall, transforming the landscape into a bloody vision of purgatory. Everything was painted a startling shade of red!

This was the Perceiving Chaos Heaven-Shaking Seal!

It was the supreme destructive secret art of an ancient Daoist orthodoxy. It used Yin and Yang as its roots and interwove the five elements, using wind and lightning as a trigger!

It could easily incinerate mountains, boil seas, and exterminate all manner of supernatural beings.

Furthermore, it had unbelievable miraculous applications when used against demonic power.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

A bloody mist hung in the air.

Everyone present stood there in a daze.

One attack!

In just one attack, he’d broken the Baleful Demon Heaven-Plundering Formation, exterminating one hundred and twenty-six demonic cultivators!

Not one survived!

That unstoppable momentum and terrifying power crushed everything in their path, shaking everyone present.

“My… My heavens…” Off in the distance, Li Changlin and the other martial artists were scared out of their wits. Their eyes widened, and they felt tongue-tied. Moreover, they quivered from head to toe.

Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that Su Yi would be?this?strong.

Earlier, when they saw Su Yi surrounded, most of them regretted their decision to come here. They feared that Su Yi had implicated them, and they were beside themselves with panic.

Quite a few even knelt and begged the Celestial Prison Demon Court’s cultivators for mercy!

Why??Wasn’t it because they thought poorly of Su Yi’s chances and assumed he couldn’t turn this around?

Now, when this tyrannical, bloody scene played out before them, the martial artists were dumbstruck.

“How is this possible!?” Tu Baizhen couldn’t help but shout, his eyes wide with disbelief.

That attack was so terrifying that it scared even him, a late-stage Spiritual Manifestation Realm expert. His heart and soul trembled, and his hair stood on end.

Ever since they’d crossed over, the Celestial Prison Demon Court had swept through the Great Zhou. None could stand in their way!

Yet now, practically all of their subordinates had been wiped out!

These losses were far too heavy.

“Such power is more than enough to sweep through all Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators…” The demonic infant’s innocent little face was solemn, and its bright-red eyes repeatedly evaluated Su Yi, as if seeing him for the first time. action

“Don’t you think this saves a lot of time?” Su Yi fixed his gaze on Tu Baizhen, his expression calm, as if he were discussing a mere trifle.

However, beneath the weight of his gaze, Tu Baizhen, a Spiritual Manifestation Realm expert, shuddered. His expression shifted dramatically.

He finally understood. Su Yi wasn’t relying on his hostage, Liu Ying, at all. Rather, he was relying on his own strength, which was already unbelievably overwhelming!

“Esteemed Holy Infant, what… What should we do?” Tu Baizhen couldn’t help but ask.

The demonic infant frowned, then broke into a broad grin. “I’m just a little child! Why would you ask me a question like that?”

Tu Baizhen was speechless.

The infant rose into the air. “Don’t panic. Go deal with him. With me here, you can attack without reservation.”

Tu Baizhen took a deep breath, then nodded. He hefted his blood-red spear and bellowed, “Activate!”

The aura of the late-stage Spiritual Manifestation Realm circulated rapidly and instantly reached its peak.

“Die!”

He shot through the air, his spear as quick as lightning, and thrust at Su Yi.

Boom!

Illusory spears and bloody, baleful energy filled the sky.

It was obvious that he wasn’t holding anything back. His attack was forceful and tyrannical to the extreme. Even an ordinary opponent of the same realm likely wouldn’t dare clash with him head-on.

Su Yi, however, made no attempt to dodge. He just stretched out his hand and tapped.

Bang!

The blood-red spear stopped three feet from Su Yi, as if the hammer of a deity had slammed into it. It snapped right down the center.

“Shit!”

This terrifying scene shocked even Tu Baizhen, a late-stage Spiritual Manifestation Realm expert. He turned and fled without the slightest hesitation, shouting,?“Esteemed Holy Infant, save….”

Before he could finish his plea, a burst of sword qi appeared out of nowhere, taking his head clean off.

In the moments before his death, Tu Baizhen stared at the distant demonic infant, his expression full of confusion.

The entire area fell silent.

Li Changlin and the other martial artists were rooted to the spot, too dazed to even think.

Spirit Dao cultivators were unimaginably powerful, yet one had fallen, just like that?

When the demonic infant saw this, he pursed his lips, looked at Tu Baizhen’s severed head, and sighed. “What are you looking at me for? How could I have guessed that you’d be this inept? Besides, all I said was that you could attack without reservation. I never said I’d guarantee your survival.”
