First Immortal of the Sword

A light of rain filled the air and scattered.

Smoke and dust swept outward as the red-robed Immortal Kunwu shot back like an arrow, flying several thousand feet before managing to stabilize himself.

His expression filled with utter astonishment. One punch, and he broke through the encirclement? Is such power really possible for an Immortal Lord!?

The distant experts of Floating Mountain all looked stricken. The tyrannical power of this fist astonished them.

The power of the Kunwu Divine Tree could trap even Great Martial Stage experts! And the red-robed Immortal Kunwu was comparable to a Great Martial Stage Expert in his own right!

But in the blink of an eye, both the Kunwu Divine Tree and the red-robed Immortal Kunwu had been forced back!!

The way everyone looked at Su Yi suddenly changed.

“That all you got?” As the misty clouds dispersed, they revealed Su Yi’s tall, upright figure. He gazed at the red-robed Immortal Kunwu and shook his head. “Ol’ Fire, you’ve truly disappointed me.”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

Blazing divine flames swept outward, burning the skies, but within mere moments, fist force burst forth, cleaving through the sky as if it were made of rotten wood and scattering the sea of divine flame.

Its power then descended upon the red-robed Immortal Kunwu.

Clang!!

The red-robed Immortal Kunwu met his attack head-on. His bronze spear shook in his grip and almost flew from his hands. The impact made his blood and qi churn.

He found this difficult to believe.

After all, despite the effects of the cataclysm of the Age of Fallen Immortals, he was still in the Great Martial Stage!

Yet now, despite facing a mere Saint Realm cultivator, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

How could he not be surprised?

“Tell me why you chose to cooperate with Floating Mountain, and in light of our former bond, I can give you an opportunity to make amends,” said Su Yi as he approached from afar.

He naturally wasn’t unfamiliar with the Eastern Seas’ Floating Mountain. Their founder, Yun Feijing, was one of Wang Ye’s greatest enemies.

During the Battle of Eternal Night, Wang Ye cut Yun Feijing’s head off. He was one of the twenty-one Great Realm experts who’d died beneath Wang Ye’s sword!

And the red-robed Immortal Kunwu was actually colluding with the Floating Mountain. He’d even gone so far as to set a trap for Su Yi. How could Su Yi not feel hurt and angry?

“Make amends?” The red-robed Immortal Kunwu threw back his head and laughed uproariously. “Tell me, what crime have I committed?

He suddenly raised his hand and tapped.

Boom!

The Kunwu Divine Tree swayed, and its countless branches danced like mad, like divine whips descending from the heavens. All of them ruthlessly targeted Su Yi.

Every branch was covered in the resplendent source power of the five elements. They could easily crush Immortal Kings!

At the same time, the red-robed Immortal Kunwu let out a long roar, swung his bronze spear, and lunged at Su Yi.

He seemed completely frenzied, with the fierce, blazing momentum of a divine flame. His Grand Martial Stage power made even heaven and earth seem dimmer by comparison.

Su Yi neither dodged nor fled. His robes billowed around him as countless streaks of sword qi floated into the air, like dazzling arcs of light rising from the ground, piercing everything in all directions.

The humming of a sword rose like the tides.

Wherever sword qi passed, it severed the whiplike branches, sending them flying through the air like dead snakes.

One after another, long, narrow rifts tore open in the sky!

And as Su Yi moved, his peak Saint Realm cultivation base heated up like a furnace of the Grand Dao.

Clang!

He still fought barehanded, but every strike that landed broke another of the red-robed Immortal Kunwu’s attacks, almost forcing him back!

Su Yi no longer showed mercy, either. He leaped forth, fist swinging. With every punch, wondrous and unfathomable mysteries of the Grand Dao surged forth with all-encompassing force, like a tidal wave or avalanche. The sky collapsed, and the mountains and rivers trembled!

From a distance, the onlookers watched as heaven and earth collapsed beneath each punch. Su Yi was like a god marching into war with unparalleled valliance. None could stand in his way!

Within just a few breaths of time, the red-robed Immortal Kunwu was too battered to even raise his head. He was repeatedly forced back, and all he could do was passively defend himself. He didn’t even have the strength to launch a counterattack.

His face was full of alarm and fury. His eyes bulged, and he struggled to accept this.

He was in the Great Martial Stage!! And even if he weren't, he could control the source power of the Kunwu Divine Tree to attack Su Yi from all sides!

Yet all of his efforts were to no avail. Su Yi was just too tyrannical. Every fist struck with unstoppable force. Nothing could stand in his way!

What secret arts? What Great Martial divine abilities? All of them were useless!!

It wasn’t just the red-robed Immortal Kunwu. The distant white-robed Immortal Kunwu, Daoist Master Red Cloud, and Xing Que were wide-eyed and slack-jawed with surprise too.

All of them knew that Su Yi was capable of crushing Immortal Kings while not being one himself. That was already shocking, unheard of, and unprecedented, an irreplicable miracle.

None of them could have imagined that not even a Great Martial Stage expert like the red-robed Kunwu would struggle to block the sharpness of Su Yi’s edge. At this rate, he wouldn’t last much longer!

“If His Excellency the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign wanted to kill me, he could do it with a single flick of his finger…” Xing Que watched in a daze.

Back in the Human Realm, the dog dared to put on the airs of a senior in front of Su Yi because prior to the Age of Fallen Immortals, it had been a Void Realm True Immortal.

Three years had passed since the dog had last seen Su Yi, but it was still a Void Realm True Immortal.

Yet Su Yi, a cultivator from the Human Realm, had not only surpassed it in cultivation but could now slaughter Immortal Kings with ease. He’d suppressed even the red-robed Immortal Kunwu to the point that he could barely lift his head!

The comparison was stark. It was obvious how great a shock this was to Xing Que.

No wonder our clan ancestors spoke of the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign with such reverence, Daoist Master Red Cloud murmured inwardly.

She vividly recalled that when she was still a little girl, the clan’s old-timers spoke of the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign like juniors gazing upon a deity from afar, with all the respect, dread, and reverence that entailed!

At the time, she’d been too young to fully understand. It was only after reaching adulthood that she understood just how unparalleled of an existence Wang Ye was.

Now, when she saw Su Yi’s power firsthand, Daoist Master Red Cloud suddenly felt strange. I met the reincarnation of the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign and established ties with him purely by chance. How could I have been so fortunate?

Further away, the experts of Floating Mountain felt chills in their hands and feet, and their souls practically left their bodies in sheer panic. All they could think was, Is a Great Martial Stage powerhouse… still not enough to take Su Yi down?

Splurt!

As the battle raged on, the red-robed Immortal Kunwu coughed up blood.

His handsome face was instantly deathly pale.

“If my vitality weren’t badly damaged, how could a paltry little Immortal Lord like you possibly suppress me?” His eyes bulged. He was obviously beside himself with fury.

Su Yi said coldly, “In my past life, even at your full strength, how could your mere fire elemental clone have lasted this long against me?”

The red-robed Immortal Kunwu instantly clamped his jaw shut.

He attacked in a mad frenzy, giving it everything he had, but it was to no avail. He was repeatedly suppressed and forced back.

Moreover, his injuries were piling on!

The Kunwu Divine Tree’s power wasn’t much help at all, either.

“What’re you all just standing there for? If I die, do you think you’ll get out of this alive? Hurry up and activate the sacrificial formation. Let’s take him down together!” bellowed the red-robed Immortal Kunwu.

The distant experts of the Floating Mountain instantly got to work.

“Activate!”

The two Immortal Kings were the first to take action. They led their thousand-plus subordinates in pouring everything they had into the formation covering the Grounds of Divine Sacrifice.

Boom!

The nine formation flags given to them by Divine Venerate Qing Di lit up and erupted with taboo power.

The towering Kunwu Divine Tree caught ablaze as if they’d set it on fire. Its trunk, leaves, branches, and even its elemental source power burned, transforming into a flood of destructive power that surged into the formation.

“This is bad!” The white-robed Immortal Kunwu completely lost his composure. Now that the formation was active, it was obvious that they planned to drain the entirety of the Kunwu Divine Tree’s main body and source power!

“Die!”

Shouts resounded throughout the heavens. Arcs of taboo, resplendent light shot out of the formation and swept through the sky.

Heaven and earth split as if sheared open with scissors.

Su Yi’s eyelids twitched, and he immediately got out of the way.

Boom!

The moment he disappeared, the space he’d been standing in moments prior collapsed. The air split, and a current of destructive power flooded over the area. It seemed there was nothing it couldn’t destroy!

There was no need to even question it. Had it hit Su Yi, he would have been badly injured or possibly even killed!

“I’ll kill them first, then.” Su Yi blurred, then disappeared.

A moment later, he reappeared beneath the distant dome of heaven and pressed down with both hands.

Boom!!

Sword rain filled the air and descended from the heavens.

Within moments, the thousand-plus Floating Mountain experts controlling the formation died brutal deaths. A wave of blood swept outward.

Only the two Immortal Kings sensed the danger in time to flee, avoiding death by a hair. When they saw how their allies had perished, both of them broke out in cold sweats.

“Haha! Your Excellency, you can no longer stop this from happening!”

The red-robed Immortal Kunwu’s laughter boomed throughout the

He stood within the formation, his hair loose and disheveled, and his eyes blazing like divine flames and glinting with viciousness. He looked utterly deranged.

Su Yi turned to face him. His eyes narrowed.

When the formation activated, even the Kunwu Divine Tree burned. The taboo power of the formation shot into the heavens like a sharp sword, boring a hole through the firmament. It pierced through layer after layer of ethereal, invisible barriers between worlds, penetrating deeper and deeper through time and space!

“Are you trying to usher in that divine son?” Su Yi’s eyes flashed with cold light.

The red-robed Immortal Kunwu let out a burst of frenzied laughter. “Your Excellency, I admit I’m no match for you, but so long as I usher in the divine son, you won’t escape disaster either!”

“Nonsense! Ol’ Fire, even if you sacrifice the Kunwu Divine Tree’s power, you can forget about opening a portal through time and space, let alone ushering in that divine son!” roared the white-robed Immortal Kunwu.

Earlier, the red-robed Immortal Kunwu had planned on sacrificing him. That would have been enough to smoothly complete the summoning ritual.

But now, the white-robed Immortal Kunwu had been rescued. There was no way the red-robed Immortal Kunwu could sacrifice him now. Without his source power, the red-robed Immortal Kunwu’s plans would fail at the final, most important step. He couldn’t possibly usher in the divine son!

But then, the red-robed Immortal Kunwu laughed uproariously. “And what if I sacrifice myself? Can’t I usher in the divine son then?”

The crowd was stunned. All of them found this hard to believe.

He wanted to sacrifice himself!? Who’d have dared to imagine that the red-robed Immortal Kunwu would go to such lengths?

Even Su Yi couldn’t help but frown.
