Chapter 1266 - Your Last Words
Primordial Unity Divine Mountain was a magnificent sight. Rumor had it that it was a manifestation of the chaos source of the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm.
That the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect had become a top powerhouse of the stars was connected to Primordial Unity Divine Mountain.
Cultivating here came with unique advantages. You could comprehend and control the Laws of Primordial Unity, and you could absorb and refine unique and unparalleled Primordial Unity Chaos Power.
This was how the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect had given rise to one shocking expert after another over the years.
The "old charlatan," Deng Zuo, once bragged that unless Primordial Unity Divine Mountain fell, no one in existence could touch the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect.
But now, Su Yi had come.
He had no interest in destroying Primordial Unity Divine Mountain. He’d come here with two simple goals: settling the score and saving the hostages.
His surroundings were silent and empty on all sides.
But Su Yi was well aware that countless eyes were watching his every move through the Heaven-Surveying Mirrors.
Whoosh!
A figure shot through the air above Primordial Unity Divine Mountain.
He was thin, with the air of a Daoist immortal, and his entire body was swathed in wisps of firelight. This was none other than Li Zunzhen.
A late-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World King!
“The Temple Master sure is ruthless!” Li Xunzhen’s face was icy, and his eyes surged with murderous intent.
Su Yi gazed intently at him for a moment, then suddenly recalled something. “Have I seen you somewhere before?”
Li Xunzhen said coldly, “I would never have guessed that one as lofty as the Master of the Temple of the Human Realm would remember this humble old man. It’s truly surprising.”
Su Yi laughed. “I remember. It was one hundred and thirty-nine thousand years ago, on Northern Tomb Mountain. The old charlatan and I were discussing the Dao. You were just a little fellow back then, and you’d only just stepped into the Imperial Realm. When you saw me beat Deng Zuo bloody and force him to the ground, you were so scared that your legs gave out. You even pissed yourself.”
Li Xunzhen was at a loss for words.
Within the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect, countless people were dumbstruck.
Ancestor Li Xunzhen did such a thing!?
“In the blink of an eye, all these years have passed. That kid who’d yet to even grow body hair has already stepped into the late-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm.” Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit rueful.
“Enough!”
Li Xunzhen’s face flushed red with obvious embarrassment. He bellowed, “How glorious were you back then, Temple Master? But now, aren’t you just a brat whose breath still reeks of his mother’s milk?”
Su Yi’s gaze was playful. “Losing your cool? How about I use a secret art to show everyone what it looked like when you pissed your pants?”
Li Xunzhen stiffened. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his expression shifted erratically.
There was no doubt about it; Su Yi had revealed his deepest secrets. Were he really to display this most unbearable of memories to the crowd, he’d become the laughingstock of the entire sect.
Going forward, every time his name came up in conversation, that incomparable embarrassment would too.
How could he face anyone going forward?
Who hadn’t done anything ridiculous in their youth? Who hadn’t had any awkward experiences?
But some things were enough to become the shame of a lifetime.
Like, for instance, pissing his pants in terror. This was undoubtedly the memory Li Xunzhen least wanted dredged up!
Now that Su Yi had brought it up, and worse, in front of the entire sect, it didn’t matter that Li Xunzhen had long tempered an unshakeable heart. He still felt that he had no face left, and he was overcome with incomparable shame.
“Su Yi! Don’t you think what you’re doing is despicable?” Li Xunzhen roared and gnashed his teeth in fury.
“Despicable?” Su Yi laughed. “You suffered a massive loss in the Dark and Gold Star Realm, but you didn’t dare seek me out for revenge directly. Instead, you vented your fury on Meng Changyun, threatening the lives of his master and disciple. Who are you to call me despicable?”
As he spoke, Su Yi rubbed his forehead. “Although Ol’ Charlatan Deng Zuo and I are enemies, and no matter what else I might say about him, he at least has some strength of character. The Primordial Unity Daoist Sect really is declining with each passing generation.”
Here, Shui Tianhan and Gu Lingyun appeared, one after another, and stood before Li Xunzhen.
“What Temple Master? You haven’t been him for a long time! You’re nothing but a savage from the Dark and Gold Star Realm,” Shui Tianhan said expressionlessly.
“Su Yi, aren’t you afraid we’ll kill the two hostages?” Gu Lingyun said coldly. Her beautiful face was utterly frosty.
Su Yi’s smile faded.
Shui Tianhan and Li Xunzhen’s hearts were instantly solemn. Rumor had it that the Temple Master hated nothing more than when others threatened him to his face!
There was no doubt about it. Gu Lingyun had just crossed his bottom line!
Clang!
The Dark and Gold Fortune Vine silently appeared in Su Yi’s grip and transformed into a simple, unadorned Dao Sword.
“I’ll take those as your last words.” Su Yi rose into the air and pointed his sword at Gu Lingyun. Overflowing killing intent billowed off him, enveloping her completely.
“Last words? Seems to me that your death is imminent, but you’re still boasting shamelessly!” Gu Lingyun sneered. A short halberd flowing with pale blue lightning appeared in her grip as she shot forward and attacked Su Yi.
Boom!
The short halberd swept through the air. The explosive power of the Laws rose, throwing the mountains and rivers into upheaval.
Gu Lingyun was only in the mid-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm, lower than some of the sect’s other ancestor-level figures. However, she was Deng Zuo’s closed-door disciple, and her talent was extraordinary. She was strong enough to contend with even a late-stage Cosmic Enlightenment expert like Li Xunzhen.
When she attacked, that terrifying power seemed intent on overturning both heaven and earth.
“The Lightning of the Firmament Incantation? You can be called proficient, although just barely. But compared to Deng Zuo, you’re way off.” Su Yi shook his head.
He turned his sword and struck casually.
It was just one slash, but it was as if the river of stars had burst through a dam, pouring down from beyond the nine heavens. It exploded Gu Lingyun’s attack as if it were made of rotten wood.
Clang!!
That pale blue short halberd shook. Gu Lingyun’s delicate figure swayed, and she forced back, her beautiful face alternating white and green.
Her sectmates’ hearts quivered just watching.
None of them would have guessed that Ancestor Gu Lingyun, a mid-stage Cosmic Enlightenment expert, would be forced back after a single attack!
“Indeed, he’s even more terrifying when he uses his sword.” Weng Pu’s eyes flashed, his expression terrifyingly overcast.
“Go!” Li Xunzhen bellowed and attacked.
The old man with the air of a Daoist Immortal took out a glittering blue Daoist Seal and attacked Su Yi from afar.
The seal revolved in the air. The name “Jade Thunder” was carved at the base in characters the size of a fly’s head. As soon as it appeared, it transformed into an eternal divine mountain swathed in electricity, startling heaven and shifting the earth.
Clang!
Practically simultaneously, Shui Tianhan drew an ancient sword with a grain like pinewood. His feet shifted, his steps marking the shape of the big dipper, and the Laws interwove into a dragon of fire. A sea of flame blanketed heaven and earth when he swung his sword.
Gu Lingyun dared not be negligent. She too attacked with all her might.
The three Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World Kings surrounded Su Yi in a triangular formation.
Their majestic auras were so mighty that even gazing upon them from afar was enough to make one give in to despair.
Because Cosmic Enlightenment represented the pinnacle of power. Cosmic Enlightenment powerhouses could slay any opponent beneath that level with a casual gesture.
And now, three such experts were fighting together with everything they had!
Su Yi never retreated. His blue robes billowed around him as he swung his sword and met them head-on.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were overcast, and the sun and moon dimmed.
Just like that, a grand battle broke out.
Just a few blinks of the eye, that’s all, but the two combatants had already clashed over a hundred times. Their battle threw even the air itself into disarray. The landscape withered, and dazzling divine radiance illuminated the ten directions. It was like a battle between deities, or the descent of the apocalypse.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions resounded through the air.
The Heaven-Surveying Mirrors watching from afar could no longer take the aftermath of their battle, and they exploded with a bang.
Within the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect, countless astonished cries rang out. The onlookers’ hearts filled with terror.
Whoosh!
A’Cai immediately rose into the air and gazed into the distance.
Meanwhile, the other higher-ups charged out, arriving beneath the heavens to watch the battle.
Hm? That’s a beast bone emblazoned with an immortal sword formation! A’Cai suddenly noticed that Sect Leader Weng Pu was there too, and he was holding a beast bone swathed in flowing immortal light. It was shaped like a flying sword, and it was extremely eye-catching.
It seems the old bastard is already prepared to activate the immortal sword formation. A’Cai’s heart clenched.
Outside the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect, a fierce battle raged.
Boom!
Lightning surged as Gu Lingyun’s pale blue short halberd cleaved through the air and attacked Su Yi.
Su Yi shook then flicked his sword. The lightning filling the sky collapsed, and the pale blue short halberd buzzed and trembled as Gu Lingyun was forced back once more.
But at the same time, Li Xunzhen’s Daoist seal came crashing down, as big as a primordial divine mountain crushing the skies.
Clang!!
Su Yi swung his sword and clashed with him directly. A current of destructive energy arose from the point of impact.
Behind them, Shui Tianhan seized the opportunity to pour his strength into his ancient sword and attack furiously.
Su Yi dodged. His sword suddenly swept horizontally, breaking Shui Tianhan’s insidious strike seemingly of its own accord, as if it had grown eyes.
The impact reached Shui Tianhan, sending him flying back.
But before Su Yi could give chase, Gu Lingyun and Li Xunzhen attacked once more.
The battle was truly far too perilous and fierce.
The three Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings each displayed their abilities, surrounding Su Yi. Their terrifying power could have destroyed even an expert of the same realm.
But Su Yi held on. Furthermore, he showed no sign of giving out.
By comparison, his display of power was even more terrifying. When his sword burst forth, it displayed his unsurpassed attainments in the Dao of the Sword.
From a distance, it was like witnessing the descent of an immortal of the sword. His sword qi filled all of creation!
Only then did Su Yi feel the joy of fighting to his heart’s content for the first time in ages. His essence, qi, and spirit seemed to catch ablaze, and his will to fight boiled over.
He swung his sword freely, his bearing contemptuous and unrestrained. He was putting enormous pressure on the three Cosmic Enlightenment Realm ancestors.
The three Cosmic Enlightenment experts’ hearts clenched, their gazes increasingly solemn.
It was only after attacking personally that they realized on a visceral level how terrifying the Temple Master was now that he’d returned.
Although it seemed he was only in the Heavenly Longevity Realm, his combat prowess was sufficient to threaten even Cosmic Enlightenment experts like them!
What really alarmed them was that even when they joined forces, and even after fighting for a long time, they still couldn’t suppress their opponent!
“Retreat!” As the intense combat raged on, Li Xunzhen suddenly bellowed.
Shui Tianhan and Gu Lingyun glanced at each other. Then, with great tacit understanding, they shot toward the sect gates with Li Xunzhen.
But how could Su Yi possibly let them do as they wished?
He chased after them immediately, his sword bringing with it the wondrous and inscrutable Laws of Restricting the Profound as he slashed at Gu Lingyun.
No matter what, he had to seize this opportunity to slaughter that woman!
