First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 2057 - Seen Through

Last time, outside the Tower of Ancient Evils, Heavenly Gods White Flame and Panhu led a group of deities in a bid to seize the Epoch Spark.

Su Yi naturally remembered Heavenly God White Flame.

When Heavenly God White Flame made his position clear, Su Yi frowned and said flatly, “You’re keeping me here and interrogating me based on mere suspicion? Don’t you think that’s over the line?”

Gasps rang out. This was Heavenly God White Flame, one of the nine rulers of the Kingdom of Lasting Light! A far-reaching authority figure! Even older-generation experts from the God Domain treated him with the utmost respect and due deference.

Who could have imagined that a mere junior like Su Yi would dare talk back to Heavenly God White Flame?

“Hah!” Heavenly God White Flame laughed. He slowly rose from his seat and said with an imposing glare, “If there’s nothing suspicious about you, why are you afraid to be honest about your background?”

The atmosphere was increasingly stifled. Numerous people felt pressure bearing down on them, making their hearts shake. This was Heavenly God White Flame’s imposing majesty.

“I brought Fellow Daoist Shen with me, and he hasn’t done anything wrong,” Bi Kongliu said solemnly. “All I want to know is, on what basis are you doing this? Does simply suspecting someone’s identity give you the right to imprison and interrogate them?” frёewebηovel.cѳm

The crowd stirred. Many of the gods nodded.

Fussing about a junior’s identity really did seem petty, and the accusations in no way held up to scrutiny. It just seemed like bullying a junior!

Heavenly God White Flame’s expression darkened.

Mi Yeyun stood beside him and said coldly, “On what basis? On the basis that this is the Kingdom of Lasting Light, and that we’re standing in Senior White Flame’s territory! It’s only natural to interrogate a stranger of unknown origins!”

Mi Yeyun paused and said, “Or, putting it even more simply, Falling Cloud Lake is Longevity Palace territory, and that means it’s under Senior White Flame’s rule. Here, what he says, goes!”

Many others fell silent. These were the facts. What did fairness have to do with anything? When you were in another’s territory, you were subject to their rules!

Against all expectations, Su Yi nodded. “The strong make the rules, and the weak can only choose to obey. That really is one of the ironclad rules of this world.”

The crowd was stunned. Is Shen Mu finally going to make concessions?

Mi Yeyun’s eyes flashed with disdain. So... he knows the meaning of the word fear after all.

Heavenly God White Flame’s expression mellowed considerably. “A wise man adapts to his circumstances. Tell me where you come from, and once I’ve confirmed that everything is in order, you can go. I won’t make trouble for a junior.”

But Su Yi laughed. “You’ve misunderstood. Some people make rules, while others follow them, but I... have always excelled at breaking them.”

His deep gaze surveyed his surroundings before finally landing on Heavenly God White Flame. “If you want to test that, you’re welcome to try to stop me.”

Then, he looked at Bi Kongliu. “No matter what happens next, you are not to get involved any further.”

Then, beneath the crowd’s astonished gazes, Su Yi turned and walked away, the very picture of unaffected elegance.

He ignored Heavenly God White Flame completely, and treated the crowd as if they didn’t exist!

Many of the onlookers were startled. They suddenly realized that if Su Yi wasn’t bluffing, then... they might be in for a treat.

Mi Yeyun’s eyes flashed.

Jin Buyi was inwardly thrilled. This guy dares test Heavenly God White Flame’s patience? He’s seeking death!

Bi Kongliu, meanwhile, was frantic. He couldn’t help but sweat on Su Yi’s behalf.

Heavenly God White Flame frowned.

“Stop right there! Without the Heavenly God’s orders, you are not permitted to leave!” A group of Longevity Palace experts stepped forward to block Su Yi’s path, all of them seething with murderous intent.

Their leaders were two Demigod-level experts.

But Su Yi just ignored them. His footsteps never even halted as he continued on his way, entirely unperturbed.

His sheer domineeringness instantly made the atmosphere as tense as could possibly be.

The Longevity Palace experts exchanged glances, then attacked without hesitation.

Boom!

Divine radiance erupted, and treasure light rumbled and boomed.

A good dozen experts attacked with all their might under the two Demigods’ leadership. They were intent on capturing Su Yi in a single attempt.

This terrifying scene made even many of the divine children’s hearts quiver, but Su Yi didn't even seem to notice. He just kept walking, hands behind his back.

But when he took a step forward, the sky abruptly split. Countless onlookers watched in horror as both the Demigods and their subordinates were blasted to bits in midair. Their ashes drifted down to earth.

All of their treasures and Daoist magics popped like soap bubbles!

Deathly silence descended over the crowd.

Some of the divine children’s eyes practically popped out of their sockets, and several of the gods looked stricken.

All of them had known that Su Yi was terrifyingly strong, but they hadn’t realized he was so strong he could destroy over a dozen enemies just by taking a single step forward!

Their ranks had included even two Demigods!!

“Don’t tell me... that he’s actually a god in disguise?” Jin Buyi gasped, and his excited expression froze in place.

Who beneath the god level could possibly have slaughtered two demigods with such ease?

The white-haired old man beside him whispered in a low voice, his eyes flashing, “I knew from the get-go that something was fishy about Shen Mu. I’m sure he’s keeping something from us! I don’t care who he is. He’s doomed!”

This was Falling Cloud Lake, Longevity Palace’s territory! Yet Su Yi had just gone and slaughtered a group of Longevity Palace disciples right under Heavenly God White Flame’s nose! How could this possibly end well for him?

“He... slaughtered people with his aura alone?” Heavenly God White Flame was truly startled.

But a moment later, irrepressible fury coursed through him. If he let a junior slap him in the face in front of a crowd like this, why even bother being a Heavenly God?

This... This is more than just ‘invincible within his own level.’ He’s simply... Bi Kongliu’s scalp went numb. He couldn’t have been any more astonished.

But he’d only just thought this when something else unexpected happened.

A man in gray appeared out of nowhere and blocked Su Yi’s path. His eyes flashed with divine radiance, and his eyebrows were as sharp as swords. Stinging golden Divine Laws revolved around him, and the imposing majesty of a Creation Realm Lesser God permeated the entire area.

Huang Wuyun!

The Palace Master of Longevity Palace, a long-established peak Creation Realm Lesser god.

Many of the onlookers’ spirits soared at his arrival, but Su Yi still didn’t stop. He just kept walking, his gait neither fast nor slow. Nothing that happened around him affected him at all.

“Hmph!” Huang Wuyun took a step forward, then leaped through the air and swung his palm at Su Yi’s head. Dazzling, resplendent Divine Laws manifested surging flames, incinerating the sky. They were tyrannical beyond measure.

But a moment later, the flames filling the sky went out. Su Yi had seized Huang Wuyun firmly by the wrist.

Then, he tightened his grip, and ripped Huang Wuyun’s right arm off, and a fountain of blood erupted. Huang Wuyun toppled over in Su Yi’s direction.

Bang!

Su Yi used the man’s severed arm like a sword, piercing him in the chest. His hand emerged from his own back.

Then, Huang Wuyun’s corpse toppled over backward. His severed arm was still jutting from his chest, splattering the ground red with blood. Agony, bewilderment, and terror were written all over his face.

His strange manner of death made the crowd’s hair stand on end.

The Palace Master of Longevity Palace, a long-established peak Creation Realm Lesser God had died, just like that?

A brief deathly silence fell.

Mi Yeyun, Jin Buyi, and the others stood there in a daze. They felt chills in their hands and feet.

They were peak figures among the divine children, and all of them had illustrious backgrounds. They were all accompanied by god-level Dao Protectors, but that didn’t mean they lacked sense.

On the contrary, they understood far better than most just how heaven-defying a Great Realm expert had to be to kill a Lesser God.

Nothing so astonishing had ever happened before, not even in the God Domain.

There was definitely something strange going on with Shen Mu!

Bi Kongliu silently clenched his fist, but he wasn’t shocked. He was worried.

“Being invincible among those of the same level” and “Killing Lesser Gods” were two totally different concepts. There was no need to even question it; even Bi Kongliu was certain that Su Yi’s identity was nowhere near as simple as he’d imagined!

Su Yi stretched out his hand and extracted a resplendent bundle of light from Huang Wuyun’s corpse. This was his Godhead, his foundations in the Divine Dao. If someone refined it, they could transform a Godhead into an Epoch Fragment!

Su Yi had no shortage of Epoch Fragments, but they were rare and valuable nourishment for the little monkey. Su Yi naturally wouldn’t just throw it away.

“I know who you are!” Practically simultaneously, Heavenly God White Flame’s eyes flashed with imposing light, and his entire body erupted with terrifying power. “You’re Li Fuyou! No, you’re going by Su Yi now!”

Boom!

The crowd was instantly in uproar, like a pot blowing off its lid.

Even the gods couldn’t help but look stricken. The divine children, meanwhile, were completely dumbstruck.

Su Yi!

Of course they knew his name. How could they not?

Back in the Immortal Realm’s Epoch Battlefield, countless divine children had perished at Su Yi’s hands. He’d even destroyed a group of divine avatars of wills!

This incident had caused an unprecedented uproar in the God Domain. Everyone was astonished.

Although Su Yi wasn’t in the God Domain, rumors surrounding him had been circulating throughout the God Domain ever since.

And in the River of Epochs, Su Yi’s name drew more attention than any other. Over the past year, he’d been wanted by all of the Nine Great Heavenly Gods. Who hadn’t heard of him?

Su Yi’s name wasn’t at all unfamiliar to the gods present, either. They even knew secrets unknown to the general populace.

For instance, that he’d acquired the Epoch Spark, making him the only person capable of opening the Path of the Ancient Gods!

Of late, numerous gods had come to the Kingdom of Lasting Light from the God Domain for this exact reason.

But none of them had anticipated that Su Yi would appear under the pseudonym Shen Mu, attend a banquet, and domineeringly cut down a god!

As the entire venue descended into uproar, Su Yi finally stopped and turned around. “You’ve got good eyes, at least.”

As he spoke, his features transformed, and he regained his true appearance. There was no longer any need to hide it. His disguise was intended to help him keep a low profile and avoid trouble.

Now that trouble was already upon him, there was no need to keep a low profile any longer.

“It really is you!!” Heavenly God White Flame’s eyes flashed like thunder, and his expression filled with unconcealable murderous intent.

Bi Kongliu felt an explosion go off in his brain, and his heart shook. So Shen Mu... was really the reincarnation of the Swordmaster of Spiritual Desolation... No wonder he’s so domineering...

He suddenly recalled how he’d gotten to know Su Yi, and he couldn’t help but break out in cold sweats. I’m just glad I didn’t do anything over the line. If I had, I’m afraid I’d have died by now!
