First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 2569 – Executing Chaos Fiends With His Sword

Amidst the distant darkness.

When battle broke out in Heaven-Trampling Palace, the army of chaos fiends lying in wait stirred, their eyes blazing with murderous intent.

“Fight!” ordered a thin man bathed in silver-lightning. He gripped a long, blood-red halberd.

This was Chaos King Xue Ye. He was ranked third amongst the Seven Chaos Kings.

“Understood!” The army shouted their assent, then followed him into battle, marching through the sky and shooting toward the palace.

Kaboom!

When the stillness of the night broke, all manner of terrifying auras shot into the firmament. Radiance swept outward, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

Liao Yuanshan and the other Master Gods waiting outside Heaven-Trampling Palace looked stricken.

The conflict inside the palace had instantly drawn their attention, too. They were just contemplating whether or not to run inside. Who’d have thought that a vast chaos army would descend upon them before they could reach a decision?

There had to be over a thousand of them!

The leaders were Chaos Kings and Fiend Lords. Their ferocious auras alone were enough to send chills coursing through Liao Yuanshan and the others’ bodies. They felt as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

“Everyone, Fellow Daoist Su saved our lives. Now that he’s in trouble, we cannot remain bystanders!” Liao Yuanshan bellowed and made up his mind. “Please join me in battle. Let’s protect this place with our lives!”

“Alright!” Everyone shouted their assent. All of them knew that their only hope of escaping the Heaven-Combating Hidden Realm rested on Su Yi’s shoulders; none of them would shrink back at a time like this.

Boom!

Chaos King Xue Ye led the enormous chaos fiend army through the darkness, while the Master Gods readied themselves for battle.

But just as conflict was about to erupt, startled cries emanated from inside the palace.

Chaos Fiend Xue Ye and the others were rushing in with fierce momentum, but when they heard this, they came to an abrupt halt.

Liao Yuanshan and the others were initially stunned, but when they turned to see what had happened inside the hall, all of them gasped.

A battle had been on the verge of breaking out, only to come to an abrupt halt.

When they saw the scenery inside the palace, all of them were flabbergasted, because…

The battle was already over. The leader of the Heaven-Combating Hidden Realm, the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King, had been blasted to bits in a single punch. His soul origin had fallen to the ground!

This result caught everyone completely off guard, leaving them utterly shaken.

How is this possible? Chaos King Xue Ye’s expression shifted erratically.

The army of chaos fiends following him looked dazed, too. They’d been prepared to fight to the death, but their commander-in-chief had already been blasted to smithereens. Who could possibly have accepted that all at once?

Meanwhile, inside the hall, the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King’s soul origin was sprawled out in the corner.

A layer of golden chaos light enveloped it. It originated from a Chaos Bone.

It was the Chaos Bone that had saved the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King at a critical juncture. Had it not arrived in time, Su Yi’s punch would have destroyed the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King’s soul origin in a single blow!

Meanwhile, Su Yi’s light, airy voice still echoed through the air. Only then did many of the onlookers come to their senses.

“It’s time to pay up.”

Everyone recalled the terms of their bet. Now that the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King had lost, he had to give up all of his innate luck!

“I…” The Heaven-Trampling Chaos King’s face filled with hatred and murderous intent. He was just about to say something when the Lucky Die rose, then vanished, reappearing directly over his head.

This is bad! His expression shifted dramatically, and he roared, “Quickly, kill all of the hostages!”

Chaos King Jian Xiao and the other chaos fiends all attacked at once. They were targeting the Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor, Hong Taiyu and the others.

All of them knew that that was their only hope of stopping Su Yi!

If they clashed with him head on, they’d effectively just be throwing their lives away. They’d meet with the same fate as the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King.

“Kill!” Practically simultaneously, Chaos King Xue Ye bellowed and led his vast army of chaos fiends into the hall.

“You… sure are shameless,” sighed the silver-robed man. He appeared out of nowhere outside the grand hall, waved his blue-green flute, and said, “Activate!”

Boom!

Streak of blue-green divine radiance shot into the firmament, connecting heaven and earth. It was like a natural barrier formed of a blue-green mountain.

Chaos King Xue Ye’s halberd couldn’t shake that natural barrier in the slightest!

Even his vast army of chaos fiends was stopped in place, unable to attack anyone beyond the barrier.

Liao Yuanshan and the others couldn’t help but be stunned. He’s seriously so strong? He managed to stave off the entire chaos fiend army at once, all by himself!

The moment the silver-robed man took action, Su Yi moved, too. He waved his sleeves, using his fingers like a sword and slashing the air.

Boom!

Countless streaks of resplendent sword qi whooshed forth, criss-crossing and interweaving. They seemed random, but in truth, they were all aimed for different chaos fiends in different parts of the hall.

Within moments, more than ten of them died horribly, their corpses strewn across the ground.

Chaos King Jin Xiao felt the impact, too. A streak of sword qi cleaved into him, leaving numerous bloody gashes all over his body.

His face was ashen, and his eyes filled with disbelief.

But Su Yi didn’t give him the opportunity to hesitate. He was already launching his next attack, his large, fair hand swinging through the air.

It seemed as gentle as a spring breeze, yet it bore down like a divine mountain, shattering Chaos King Jin Xiao’s defenses.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Little explosions rang out all over his body as flesh burst, organs collapsed, and bones cracked, unable to withstand that terrifying pressure. Bloody mist permeated the sky.

Within moments, Chaos King Jin Xiao’s physical body was destroyed. His soul didn’t escape, either. Su Yi smacked it to bits with a palm strike!

Destroyed in both body and soul!!

The Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor and the others’ hearts had been on tenterhooks. They’d thought that this battle was sure to be incomparably fierce and brutal, and they’d been prepared to go to their deaths.

None of them had anticipated that Su Yi would be so tyrannical or so terrifying. He’d destroyed over a dozen chaos fiends with a wave of his sleeve and killed Chaos King Jin Xiao with a single palm strike!

An imminent crisis had been resolved with ease, just like that. The sheer astonishment of it all left the Master Gods’ hearts shaking. All of them were rooted to the spot.

“No——!” A desperate cry rang out.

Over in a corner, the Lucky Die lit up, and the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King’s soul shook violently. Wisps of colorful, resplendent light of the Grand Dao emerged from his soul body and fused into the die.

No matter how hard the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King struggled, it was to no avail. His soul grayed and dimmed at speeds visible to the naked eye, and his life force rapidly flowed away.

Within just a few breaths of his time, his soul was indistinct and ethereal.

Luck consisted of good, great, and supreme fortune, as well as poor, bad, and terrible luck.

Supreme fortune in particular was connected to one’s life force. Stripping it was no different from stripping away someone’s vitality!

“The Ancient Fiend won’t let you get away with this!” roared the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King, his voice full of the utmost resentment.

Su Yi laughed it off.

Bang!

The Heaven-Trampling Chaos King’s soul withered and vanished. Now, every last chaos fiend within the hall had died. Not one escaped.

It was all over in a flash.

Su Yi’s abilities were far too terrifying. He was completely unstoppable; he’d swept through his enemies, slaughtering them all with ease!

The ground was covered in rubble, and the stench of blood permeated the air.

Su Yi turned and looked outside the hall.

This time, he directly drew on external power, using his cultivation base and Heart Soul to control the Sword of the Nine Hells. Naturally, he crushed his enemies with unstoppable force.

Had he relied purely on his own strength, it wouldn’t have been so easy, but this wasn’t the right time for that. Under the circumstances, he had to end the battle as quickly as possible. Only then could he prevent the aftershock from affecting the Heaven-Swallowing Toad Ancestor and the others.

Whoosh!

He vanished into thin air. A moment later, he reappeared outside the palace.

Chaos King Xue Ye and his enormous army were attacking the blue light barrier with all their might.

When Su Yi appeared, they froze briefly. Then, their expressions shifted as they realized that this meant that the battle outside the hall was already over!

Su Yi could never have made it out unless Chaos King Jin Xiao and the Heaven-Trampling Chaos King had been defeated!

He’d defeated them all in so little time. How could Chaos King Xue Ye fail to realize the severity of the situation, or how much danger they were in?

“Retreat!” Chaos King Xue Ye didn’t hesitate. “Go to the Chaos Fiend Blood Pool. Hurry!”

“It’s too late.” Su Yi shook his head slightly.

He raised his hand, and…

Clang!!!

The Sword of Proximity whooshed forth, its blade emanating wisps of mysterious, inscrutable power.

The power of the Sword of the Nine Hells!

Unsurpassed sword force instantly enveloped the entire stretch of heaven and earth.

“Go!”

When Su Yi swung his arm, the Sword of Proximity suddenly vanished.

A moment later, the crowd watched in astonishment as a streak of sword qi cleaved through the darkness of the Heaven-Combating Hidden Realm, illuminating everything on all sides.

Like the rising sun dispelling the darkness of a long, ancient night!

Wherever the sword qi went, the chaos fiend army fell, cut down like grass. Blood splattered the air, and screams shook the skies.

Even the mighty Fiend Lord Bai Ye struggled to block this overpowering sword force. Her delicate frame was soon sliced into pieces.

In the last moments before her death, she turned with great difficulty and looked at Su Yi, her eyes full of bewilderment. How… how could this guy be so strong?

Bang!

A bloody gash appeared on Chaos King Xue Ye’s body. A moment later, he’d been cleaved in two, but his soul origin managed to escape, vanishing over the horizon in a flash.

Su Yi couldn’t help but find this surprising. He actually managed to flee? He isn’t simple!

Sword qi illuminated the darkness, but the radiance faded when it dispersed.

Blood-red stars flashed beneath the firmament, and the stench of bloodshed permeated the air.

In just one slash, an army of over one thousand chaos fiends had perished, including several Chaos Kings and Fiend Lords!

In the end, only Chaos King Xue Ye’s soul origin managed to escape!

This strength and majesty shook everyone present.

When they looked at the tall, upright figure standing beneath the dome of heaven, the same thought rose unbidded to their minds: Has… has Sword Venerate Su already achieved Eternity?

Otherwise, how could he have slaughtered those Chaos Kings and Fiend Lords as if they were clay dogs and porcelain chickens?
