Chapter 1401 - Certain Doom
Hong Jiuchong and the Hong Family old-timers frowned, their expressions darkening.
“What are you doing? We agreed that you were only to watch the battle!” bellowed Hong Jiuchong.
The Fu Family was far too dishonest. When they saw that Su Yi was about to lose, they swooped in to steal the Hong Family’s kill!
Don’t misunderstand, Senior. We’re here to assist you, not to steal your prize,” Fu Dongli explained warmly. “Now is the time to rally our strength and suppress that wretch Su Yi completely!”
“Hmph!” Hong Jiuchong snorted coldly, but this was no time for further arguments.
“We’ll fight too!” High Elder Xie Wenliu of the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower made up his mind and led his followers onto the battlefield.
When the old monsters of the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect, Profound Divinity Sword House, Southern Flames Pure Lands, and the other factions saw this, they hesitated no longer. All of them rushed in like a swarm of hornets.
They had indeed established an alliance with the Hong Family, and the Hong Family had indeed agreed that once Su Yi was dead and they’d seized the power of reincarnation, all of their allies would get their share.
But such agreements were fundamentally fragile. After all, the Hong Family had just casually broken the rules Hong Feiguan had put in place. Who could say with confidence that they wouldn’t renege on their agreement after they’d successfully claimed the power of reincarnation?
Thus, although the other factions said they were here to help, in truth, they hoped to be the first to kill Su Yi and seize his secrets. There was no way the Hong Family could monopolize them then!
The situation changed immediately.
Everywhere you looked, groups of old monsters of ancient orthodoxies were charging into the fray. Each had a terrifying aura, like gods marching into battle. The entire stretch of heaven and earth was thrown into disarray.
There were over a hundred old monsters in total, and every last one of them was in the Cloud Soaring Realm!
While immortal revenants were still unable to enter the world, these Cloud Soaring Transcendents represented the pinnacle of power in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. Outside it, any one of them could sweep through the various star realms with ease.
And now, all of them were attacking together, and all of them were targeting Su Yi!
But then——
Boom!
Heaven and earth swayed as their power devastated the landscape. It was like the descent of the apocalypse. Immortal light swept across the skies like the rising tide, and dazzling treasures unleashed their divine power.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth seemed on the verge of utter destruction!
The distant onlookers were experts in their own right, but all of them froze in place, overcome with astonishment. All they could think was——
Su Yi was finished!
Only an immortal revenant could possibly have broken free of such an encirclement. Anyone beneath that level was absolutely doomed.
Besides, Su Yi was already injured after his duel. His situation already didn’t bode well.
Now, over a hundred Cloud Soaring Realm old monsters were attacking simultaneously, all of them competing to be the one to finish him off. Who could possibly have endured such an onslaught?
“No matter what, Su Yi really is an unparalleled, legendary figure. There’s never been anyone else like him. Alas, his legend will soon end,” someone said with a deep sigh.
Everyone here was a revenant who’d survived the End of the Dharma. All of them had been prominent cultivators in life.
But none of them could deny that Su Yi was an unprecedented figure!
He controlled the power of reincarnation, and even as a mere World King, he could easily suppress and kill experts of the Path of Transcendence. Even more terrifyingly, he could fend off the attacks of an immortal’s avatar of will!
Even in ancient times, even if you searched the entire world, you’d find no one else like him. He truly was unique and unprecedented, an unparalleled figure!
Alas, this dazzling legend would struggle to escape disaster this time.
“What legend? Ultimately, it’s all because of the power of reincarnation. If we controlled that power, couldn’t we do the same?” someone grumbled. “Were that not the case, why would the various top factions be in such a frenzy?”
The entire area was in uproar. The crowd was paying close attention.
On the battlefield, they watched as Cloud Soaring experts attacked like mad. Su Yi couldn’t fight back at all, and he was riddled with wounds.
No matter where he tried to flee, he was greeted by yet another terrifying attack.
Within just a few blinks of an eye, his entire body was gushing with blood, staining his blue robes red. His wounds were too numerous to count.
If not for the Divine Replenishment Furnace blocking most of the attacks, he likely would have fallen long ago!
“Die!”
“Die!”
“Die!”
Su Yi’s enemies were completely frenzied. When they saw that he was about to fall, they were eager to suppress him as quickly as possible.
“Qingchou, are we really just going to watch?” Mo Yuanshan was frantic. Before they left, Ancestor Xinglin commanded that no matter what, they had to do their utmost to ensure Su Yi’s safety!
Mo Qingchou’s beautiful face shifted erratically. She couldn’t have been any more conflicted.
She still vividly recalled Su Yi’s warning. He insisted that even if he met with certain doom, they were not to intervene.
Even so, how could Mo Qingchou remain unmoved after seeing Su Yi in such grave peril?
“Things have come this far. Why isn’t Celestial Red Cloud here yet?” Mo Qingchou was baffled. Celestial Red Cloud had come to the battle of the Violet Heavens Platform to save Su Yi from disaster, so how could she possibly remain a bystander this time?
Yet for some reason, even after Su Yi was surrounded and on the brink of inescapable disaster, there was still no sign of Celestial Red Cloud!
“Qingchou, Fellow Daoist Su won’t be able to hold out much longer!!!” Mo Yuanshan was too frantic to stay still.
Mo Qingchou’s delicate frame quivered. She could see that Su Yi was completely surrounded, his flesh in tatters and his body bathed with blood. It seemed he might topple at a moment’s notice.
His enemies were like sharks in a blood frenzy.
“Attack!” Mo Qingchou suddenly clenched her teeth, then no longer hesitated.
Su Yi didn’t want their help, but would the Mo Family really let him die just because he said so?
No!
Ancestor Xinglin had issued orders in no uncertain terms. No matter what, they had to stand staunchly by Su Yi’s side!
Mo Yuanshan’s spirits soared, and he too bellowed, “Attack!”
Boom!
The Mo Family’s old monsters charged valiantly into the fray. All of them activated their treasures and attacked with full force, heedless of who their opponents were.
The battlefield was instantly in chaos.
The old monsters surrounding Su Yi were caught off guard. When they realized what was happening, all of them were incomparably furious and astonished.
Furious voices soon rose from all over the battlefield.
“Is the Mo Family insane?”
“Do you really want to become the common foes of every revenant beneath the heavens!?”
“Bastards!!”
“Kill them!!”
The Cloud Soaring experts of factions hostile to Su Yi were red-eyed and frenzied. How could they possibly fear the Mo Family’s power? All of them fought back like mad.
Although the Mo Family’s intervention effectively reduced the number of enemies restricting Su Yi’s movements, it was like trying to put out a wildfire with a glass of water. Su Yi was still thoroughly surrounded!
“They really don’t know how to listen...” Su Yi sighed.
But he was nonetheless moved. By intervening, the Mo Family had effectively cast aside all pretenses of cordiality with every faction hostile to him. They’d resolutely taken a stand beside him!
The consequences of this decision would be severe. All other revenants would see them as their enemies. Yet the Mo Family had come to his aid anyway!
Admittedly, this undoubtedly had something to do with Daoist Master Red Cloud, but this was still proof that the Mo Family was doing their utmost to aid him! How could Su Yi not be moved?
“Hah!” Suddenly, the immortal avatar of will bellowed and seized the Divine Replenishment Furnace. He then threw back his head and laughed. “What a wondrous treasure! From this day forth, it belongs to the Hong Family!”
Su Yi, meanwhile, coughed up blood. His injuries were far too grave, and his battered frame was on the verge of breaking. His wounds bled nonstop.
But this only drove his enemies to even greater madness. All of them pounced, hoping to suppress Su Yi as quickly as possible.
Even though the old monsters of the Mo Family went all out, they couldn’t rescue him in time. All of them were frantic with worry.
But although no one noticed it, even surrounded by danger, Su Yi’s distant, profound gaze remained perfectly calm, without the slightest ripple of surprise.
He’d predicted that he’d face grave, inestimable peril when he came to the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. How could he not have made preparations?
As he fought, he thought to himself, This battle to the death has let me temper my essence, qi, and spirit to achieve true flawlessness. My heart and will are unshakeable! I can already sense that an opportunity to break through has arrived...
His cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of Cosmic Enlightenment. All he lacked was tempering of his essence, qi, spirit, heart, and will.
If his cultivation base were a furnace, then his essence, qi, spirit, heart, and will were its flames! It was only when the flames burned their hottest that they’d resonate completely with the furnace, letting him realize a perfect breakthrough!
And over the course of this life-or-death battle, Su Yi had done just that.
He could sense the complete Path of Transcendence within the Laws. So long as he wished it, he could step onto it whenever he pleased!
Clang!!
A heaven-shaking impact rang out, and the Sword of the Human Realm flew from Su Yi’s grip. Fu Dongli swooped in to seize it.
By now, Su Yi had lost both the Divine Replenishment Furnace and the Sword of the Human Realm. His injuries were so severe that he was on the brink of death.
In his enemies’ eyes, he was no different from a lamb to the slaughter!
At that moment, Mo Qingchou and the others’ hearts were on tenterhooks. They visibly lost their composure; they couldn’t even imagine how they’d report back to the clan if Su Yi just upped and died like this.
At that moment, the distant onlookers couldn’t even bear to watch. Visions of Su Yi’s brutal, bloody demise rose unbidden to their minds.
At that moment, Su Yi gazed up at the sky. Despite his situation, his gaze shone with anticipation.
And at that moment, the sixth divine chain shook violently within his sea of consciousness, stirring up a terrifying energy fluctuation.
“Fine!!! This lofty one will help you kill your enemies! No matter what, you absolutely cannot break through now!!”
A shout tinged with resentment and frustration suddenly boomed throughout Su Yi’s sea of consciousness.
It was the voice of his sixth incarnation.
“You’ve finally lowered your head?” A faint, nigh imperceptible hint of a smile tugged at Su Yi’s lips.
He’d finally emerged victorious in his silent competition with his sixth incarnation!
This was the true reason Su Yi hadn’t hesitated to show up to this duel. His goal was to force his sixth incarnation to lower his head and compromise!
But before Su Yi could celebrate, his mind buzzed, and his sea of consciousness rumbled and boomed. The vast, mysterious power of his sixth incarnation’s Dao Imprint surged out of the sixth divine chain and coursed throughout Su Yi’s entire body.
Immediately afterward, an endlessly tyrannical aura so terrifying as to make even the heavens themselves quake silently emanated from him!
