First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 1985: Tribulation

Beneath the dome of heaven.

Chaos surged in waves. When that tall, upright figure walked out, everyone was stunned.

Su Yi!

The difference was that Su Yi had undergone a transformation akin to rebirth. His wounds had been as bad as could be just moments prior, but now, they’d knit back together, good as new. Even his weak and ebbing vitality blazed like a furnace and rumbled like thunder!

The Angler, Master God Tian Huang, and the others’ eyelids twitched. Their eyes widened with disbelief.

They’d chased Su Yi all the way here. How could they possibly not know how severe his wounds were? How could they not know that his cultivation base had long since dried up, and that his body was on the verge of falling apart?

Yet now, mere moments after Su Yi entered the Chaos Dao Cave, he seemed like a completely different person. If not for his still blood-soaked blue robes, there’d have been no indication that he’d ever been injured in the first place!

“Su Yi, lower your head now, and I’m willing to redeem you and spare your life!” chanted the Dipankara Buddha, his voice booming throughout heaven and earth. “Refuse, and no one between heaven and earth will be able to save you!”

“Hmph! Dipankara, you do not speak for us. If the heretic wants to live, fine. But he must offer up the mysteries of reincarnation first!” said Wenren Qin with seething murderous intent.

“I second that statement,” said the Severed Heavens Demon Master, inclining his head.

Each of the Master Gods was more domineering than the one before. Su Yi’s transformation did not intimidate them.

On the contrary, his return made them downright eager to take action!

When they saw this, the other gods’ hearts quivered, but they knew there was nothing they could do. They didn’t even need to think to know that they couldn’t possibly compete with the Master Gods!

Nan Pingtian stood within the crowd, watching Su Yi with feigned pity. In truth, he was inwardly delighting at his old enemy’s misfortune.

Who in this world could possibly wriggle their way out of this?

“Su Yi, can A’Ning still be saved!?” Divine Venerate Xi Yue suddenly cried out hoarsely. She stared intently at him, her gaze containing a hint of anticipation.

After a moment’s silence, Su Yi said, “I’ll kill them all to avenge her.”

His calm, icy voice resounded throughout heaven and earth. The murderous intent therein made countless deities’ hearts shake.

Divine Venerate Xi Yue was unwittingly stunned, then overcome with grief. How could she not realize the implications? A’Ning… is dead!!

The other gods, meanwhile, took Su Yi’s words for a joke. Many of them broke out laughing. You’ll kill us all? Just you? How could you possibly do so, heretic?

Suddenly, a voice boomed, “Fellow Daoist Su, it’s my clan ancestor who’s targeting you. It has nothing to do with me. As you know, I’ve never once thought of you as my enemy!”

The crowd was flabbergasted. All eyes landed on the same person.

Feng Wuji!

The “clan ancestor” he spoke of was the Rahu Yao Ancestor.

It was just that no one could have anticipated that Feng Wuji would announce such a stance out of nowhere, even after the gods seized an absolute advantage, and even when Su Yi was surrounded by grave peril on all sides.

He’d drawn a line between himself and the Rahu Yao Ancestor!!

“Hahaha! Daoist Brother, this descendant of yours sure is filial,” laughed Master God Tian Huang.

The other Master Gods’ expressions turned strange. Even your descendant thinks so poorly of your chances that he publicly renounced you. What face do you have left, Rahu?

The Rahu Yao Ancestor stood there in silence, his expression icy. Still, it would have been obvious to anyone that he was furious!

“Wuji, why have you done this?” he asked.

Feng Wuji said with exasperation, “All of you are avatars of will. You’ll be fine even if they’re destroyed, but I’m different. If anything unexpected happens, I’ll be completely finished!”

“...” The crowd was briefly stunned before bursting into uproarious laughter. None of them had anticipated that the Rahu Yao Ancestor’s descendant and unparalleled divine son Feng Wuji would be this cowardly!

Given the circumstances, how could Su Yi possibly have any hope of survival? Did Feng Wuji think the one-hundred-plus gods gathered here were just there for decoration?

Even some of the newly advanced gods looked at Feng Wuji with mockery.

“Little bastard!” The Rahu Yao Ancestor cursed under his breath.

Su Yi stood calmly before the Chaos Dao Cave, taking all of this in without even the barest ripple of emotion.

“You’re wrong. Their avatars of will shall be destroyed, but later, their true bodies must die, too,” said Su Yi, his cold, clear voice resounding throughout the surrounding area.

The uproarious atmosphere instantly died down.

Su Yi took a step forward, and…

Boom!

Tribulation clouds surged beneath the dome of heaven. A terrifying, calamitous, taboo aura spread throughout heaven and earth.

“Is… Is he about to undergo tribulation?” Many of the gods were flabbergasted.

“What’s going on? Didn’t we obscure the natural order of Heaven’s Will from the Immortal Dao?” The Angler’s pupils constricted.

“Something must have gone wrong in the Boundless Battlefield,” said the Dipankara Buddha with a frown.

“Does that mean that Li Fuyou’s old friends are causing trouble?” Wenren Qin said icily.

The other Master Gods’ expressions darkened. Their true bodies had long since made arrangements to take Su Yi down. When the Epoch Battlefield appeared, they joined forces to use a taboo treasure to obscure the Immortal Realm’s power of Heaven’s Will.

In doing so, they effectively severed Su Yi’s opportunities to prove his Dao and break through!

Moreover, they’d each prepared numerous backup measures, all for the sake of snuffing out the Heretic Reincarnator, Su Yi.

Yet now, they realized that something had gone awry in the God Domain! Someone had ruined their arrangements!

But they didn’t panic. On the contrary, all of them were thinking the same thing. He thinks he can undergo tribulation right under our noses? That’s no different from throwing his life away!

The dome of heaven was already covered in currents of chaos energy. Now, they were completely replaced by endless, dark, dense tribulation clouds.

The tribulation clouds churned and rumbled with thunder. Heaven and earth shook, and the mountains and rivers swayed.

The newly advanced gods couldn’t help but hold their breath, and their hair stood on end. They had the sudden, ludicrous feeling that the tribulation targeting Su Yi somehow seemed even more terrifying and taboo than their Divine Tribulations!

This was simply unbelievable.

When the divine avatars of will saw this strange, calamitous tribulation’s unusual qualities, they couldn’t help but gasp.

That heretic really does defy common sense. Even his Great Profound Tribulation is this unusual!

“Attack!” someone bellowed, and all of the Master Gods’ avatars attacked at once, quick as lightning.

Every last one of them had monstrous divine majesty terrifying beyond measure. Moreover, their attack was so well-coordinated that it was obvious that they’d discussed their approach in secret.

Su Yi’s gaze was cold and indifferent. He paid the gods no heed.

Instead, he shot through the air, arriving high in the sky in a flash before charging straight into the heart of the endless tribulation clouds.

The Master Gods halted their advance, their expressions shifting and uncertain.

They were just avatars of will. They could in no way interfere with this taboo grand tribulation, and if its power reached them, it was certain to destroy them!

“Don’t panic, everyone. Let’s see if the heretic is truly capable of escaping our grasp,” the Dipankara Buddha said calmly.

Boom!

The sea of tribulation clouds churned. The moment Su Yi charged in, endless tribulation light came crashing down. It was so dazzlingly bright that many couldn’t open their eyes.

Meanwhile, a Dao Sword appeared above Su Yi and shot into the air.

Kaboom!

The endless tribulation light shattered, and the Dao Sword continued, fighting its way into the heart of the churning clouds.

The gods were all left unwittingly wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

When they underwent tribulations, they passively defended themselves, seeking only survival. So long as they held out long enough, they’d break through.

None of them could have imagined how Su Yi underwent tribulation. His Dao Sword shot into the tribulation clouds of its own accord and helped him neutralize his tribulations!

“That’s the Dao Sword Li Fuyou once used!” Master God Yun He’s eyes flashed like lightning and blazed with greed, as well as an undisguisable hint of dread.

“It is indeed that mysterious Dao Sword,” said Master God Tian Huang. “Back then, in the Boundless Battlefield, no small number of our fellows perished beneath that blade…”

“That sword was Li Fuyou’s greatest trump card. They say it hides mysteries of the River of Destiny. If we seize it, we might well be able to glean insight into its true secrets!” whispered Wenren Qin.

When the Master Gods saw the Dao Sword, their expressions shifted to a mix of trepidation, enmity, and greed.

Boom!

The tribulation clouds churned as the Sword of the Nine Hells clashed with their endless tribulation light.

The entire dome of heaven was thrown into upheaval!

Before long, an unbelievable scene unfolded. A vast plane of time and space appeared deep within the tribulation clouds.

And a group of terrifying, majestic divinities appeared from across endless time and space!

A woman seated astride a Vermillion Bird, her body swathed in an endless sea of flame.

A man standing on a cloud, countless stars reflected behind him.

A gaunt monk with three heads and six arms. He stood over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and he held a sacred Buddhist kingdom aloft in the palm of his hand.

There was also a seemingly youthful Daoist seated on a wooden sword. When his eyes moved, endless sword qi swept through the sky!

Everyone watched in astonishment, then instinctively glanced at the Master Gods. They recognized those divinities watching from across endless time and space as the Master Gods’ true bodies!

The woman on the Vermillion Bird was Wenren Qin.

The man surrounded by endless stars was the Rahu Yao Ancestor.

The monk holding a Buddhist kingdom aloft was the Dipankara Buddha.

And the young Daoist was Master God Yun He!

Everyone stood there in a daze. There was no doubt about it. The events of the Epoch Battlefield had drawn the attention of the gods’ true bodies. Su Yi’s attempt to break through had alerted them, and they were immediately taking action.

There’d be no escape this time. The gods would never give Su Yi the opportunity to prove his Dao!

“Without Li Fuyou’s power assisting you, you cannot escape this tribulation,” boomed the Dipankara Buddha.

The other Master Gods watched on coldly. They’d arranged this a long time ago. No matter how much Su Yi struggled, it would be to no avail.

“This tribulation isn’t enough to stop me,” Su Yi said calmly. He’d noticed what was happening, but he still didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He just leaped into the air and charged into the heart of the tribulation clouds.

At that moment——

Boom!

The situation at the far end of time and space suddenly changed as yet another group of grand, terrifying figures appeared out of nowhere. There were more than ten of them, a group of both men and women. As soon as they arrived, they charged at the Dipankara Buddha and the other Master Gods’ true bodies.

A divine battle broke out across endless time and space!

Meanwhile, in the Epoch Battlefield, the crowd’s minds went blank as they fell into a daze. What’s happening here?

The Master Gods’ avatars, meanwhile, visibly lost their composure!
