Chapter 2593 – Traversing the Heavens in Nine Steps, Slaying a Dragon in One Slash
Was Qing Li dead?
He wasn’t!
Heaven and earth shook, and dust permeated the air. Su Yi scanned the air, then stepped forward, flashing through the air like lightning as he shot into the distance.
Practically simultaneously, Qing Li reappeared. He looked the same as ever, with no sign of injury, as if that punch hadn’t damaged him in the slightest.
When he saw Su Yi shooting toward him, he snorted coldly, then held out his hands, palm up.
Boom!
A perfectly round Yin-Yang diagram rose into the air. The pure and impure interwove and fused, black and white each giving rise to the other in a perfect, endless cycle. It was like a giant millstone of heaven and earth, capable of grinding away all Daos!
This was a supreme divine ability of the Daoist school of thought: the Limitless Supreme Ultimate!
The little red snake raised its head, its eyes full of excitement.
Su Yi’s punch had been just too terrifying. It had shaken the little snake to its core.
But now, when it saw this divine ability, it instantly realized that Qing Li was taking this seriously now!
Heaven and earth contorted, and the sky collapsed as the Yin-Yang ground them away completely. This divine ability was so terrifyingly strong that it could threaten the lives of even Half-Step Eternals.
But when Su Yi swung his fist… Bang!!!
The Yin-Yang diagram split into pieces.
“How is this possible!?” The little red serpent cried out in disbelief.
Before its voice had even finished echoing through the air, Qing Li’s body exploded once more.
He’d been blasted to bits again!
Qing Li’s voice emanated from within the clouds of dust. “Incredible! No wonder you’ve been able to act with abandon in the God Domain all this time. Everyone has been severely underestimating your abilities.”
His figure had been blasted to bits yet again, but he seemed unkillable. Here was again, alive and well.
But his gaze was heavier and colder, with a heart-palpitating iciness.
Su Yi’s gaze was as calm as the waters of an ancient well as he attacked once more.
“Take this!” Qing Li raised his hand, and a mysterious diagram of the Grand Dao unfurled in midair.
It was as if thirty thousand celestial rivers had burst through their dams at once, their waters blanketing heaven and earth with a dazzling flood of silver light. It seemed endless.
The Silver River Nine Firmaments Diagram!
The water shone with silver Dao Light full of the charms of Eternity.
Su Yi leaped forth, his body like a sword as he cleaved open a massive rift through the river. He advanced with unstoppable force, as if there were no one else around.
Whoosh!
As he passed through the silver river, Qing Li’s diagram split in half.
This time, Qing Li looked stricken. That diagram was strong enough to eradicate even Half-Step Eternals, but against Su Yi, it seemed as fragile as paper window panelling!
“Take this!” Qing Li’s sleeves billowed as twin dragons of blue flame shot out of them.
Su Yi neither shrank back nor dodged. He just let the blue fire dragons slam into him.
They were like eggs flinging themselves against a rock. Both of them shattered on impact.
Su Yi, meanwhile, was already seizing the opportunity to reach for Qing Li’s left arm.
Qing Li instantly realized Su Yi’s intentions. No one saw him move, but his whole left arm instantly separated from his body and fell off.
Meanwhile, he abandoned it and retreated, avoiding Su Yi’s strike by a hair.
Bang!
The severed left arm shattered in Su Yi’s grip, but there was no spray of blood. It just transformed into countless snow-white jades.
Strangely, the jades wriggled, as if fusing back into each other. In a flash, they’d merged into a fist-sized piece of snow-white jade, which floated over Su Yi’s palm.
Earlier, Qing Li told him that his body was formed with an Undying Treasure. There was no doubt about it; this piece of jade was part of that treasure. It made him all but unkillable.
Su Yi just glanced down at it, and the power of reincarnation emanated from his palm.
Bang!
The seemingly indestructible white jade split, but this time, it didn’t recover. It was as if it had been ground into nothingness, vanishing through the gaps between Su Yi’s fingers.
Off in the distance, Qing Li regrew his left arm, but his face was obviously paler than before!
It was clear that having his body destroyed twice and losing an arm had taken a heavy toll!
Su Yi disregarded this, stepped forward, and attacked once more.
From the moment the battle began, his expression had been terrifyingly calm and cold as ice, without so much as the slightest ripple of emotion.
When it was time to attack, he didn’t hesitate.
“This really is strange…” Qing Li furrowed his brow.
He’d sensed that something was off the moment the battle began. Su Yi was far more terrifying than he predicted!
He’d never even considered the possibility that he’d fail to suppress Su Yi even after employing his hidden cards!
His killer weapons weren’t at all effective. Worse, they’d been blasted to bits, completely unable to withstand Su Yi’s attacks.
This was simply unbelievable. After all, although Qing Li was just here as an avatar of will, his secret treasures and divine abilities were mighty enough that he could look at even Half-Step Eternals with disdain!
But now, Su Yi displayed power far beyond that of a Half-Step Eternal!
However, Qing Li had no time to give the matter any further thought, as Su Yi was already attacking again.
Clang!
The hum of a sword rang out, and the wooden sword case on Qing Li’s back opened. A sword with a pinewood grain shot forth and landed in his palm.
Weapon in hand, Qing LI’s presence transformed, as if he were gazing down upon all of creation with contempt.
“Cut!” He swung his sword. Heaven and earth collapsed and split, and searing blue sword qi cleaved through the sky, hurtling toward Su Yi.
Su Yi swung his fist.
Boom!!!
The sky shattered and collapsed on all sides.
The ruins caved in, the sky dimmed, and explosive sword qi swept out like a windstorm. That streak of blue sword qi collapsed completely.
Still, Qing Li had finally managed to block Su Yi’s attack.
However, before he could so much as sigh in relief, Su Yi attacked once more. His momentum was even fiercer than before!
“This…” Qing Li looked stricken, and he no longer dared to hold back. He fought with all his might, his sword qi as quick as lightning, as searing as fire, as radiant as the sun overhead.
Every strike could have slain a Half-Step Eternal with ease!
Every strike triggered an earthquake. It was like the descent of the apocalypse.
But Su Yi broke through each and every one of them. His attacks were simple: he threw punch after punch, attacking directly and with unstoppable force.
That all-encompassing forcefulness made Qing Li lose his cool again and again. He was repeatedly forced back.
Su Yi had completely suppressed him!
Clang!!!
An earsplitting impact rang out, and Qing Li’s sword flew from his grip.
That endlessly tyrannical power continued, its power undiminished. It blasted open a massive hole in Qing Li’s chest!
His body split into pieces once more, but this time, Su Yi leaped into action, stretching out his hand and closing his fingers on the air.
The fragments of Qing Li’s shattered body were swept uncontrollably toward Su Yi.
At a critical juncture, divine red flames descended from the heavens, shattering Su Yi’s attack.
Boom!!!
Meanwhile, the sky trembled, and a fully hundred-thousand-foot dragon took to the skies. Its body was like a winding mountain range covered in scales the size of millstones. Its head was the size of a house, and its horns were each a thousand feet long.
Its claws were like towering trees, each crystalline, resplendent, and swathed in terrifying divine flames.
The dragon threw back its head and roared. Countless divine flames ignited throughout heaven and earth, burning the sky and melting the mountains and rivers.
Its terrifying ferocity was extraordinarily imposing.
Qing Li’s body recondensed in the distance, but this time, his face was deathly pale, and his expression was unsightly. The little snake hanging from his left ear like an earring had now become an enormous red dragon.
It was the dragon’s timely intervention that had saved him at a critical juncture. Had he fallen into Su Yi’s hands just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Kaboom!
The red dragon took to the sky and lunged at Su Yi. As incomparably enormous as it seemed, it was extraordinarily nimble, and it brought with it a flood of divine flames. It was even stronger than Half-Step Eternals.
Su Yi’s gaze didn’t so much as ripple. He was in no mood to tangle with a beast.
Thus—
He rose into the air and took nine steps forward. With each step he took, his sword intent rose, and heaven and earth shook.
By the time he took his eighth step, Su Yi’s sword force had pushed the sea of divine flames back. It could no longer advance even an inch further.
Meanwhile, endlessly terrifying sword force swept outward, crushing and shattering the sky!
“Chi Mang, run! Hurry!” Off in the distance, Qing Li roared at the top of his lungs.
Su Yi’s momentum was just too overwhelming, like a blazing sun tearing through the sky. He seemed utterly unstoppable, too terrifying to even look at directly.
It was then that Su Yi took his ninth step.
His sword intent seemed to catch ablaze, reaching unprecedented heights. From a distance, he really did look like a sun illuminating both heaven and earth. He was just that dazzlingly bright!
He raised his right hand like a sword, bringing with it all the power he’d accumulated. Then, without the slightest pause or hesitation, he swung at the red dragon.
Boom!!
When this slash fell, heaven and earth dimmed, and the entire landscape silently withered and collapsed.
That streak of sword qi was now the only light amidst the endless darkness.
Indescribable murderous intent swept outward.
The red dragon’s heart filled with terror and unease. Its mountain-range-sized body quivered uncontrollably in midair.
It turned to leave, but it was one step too late. Su Yi’s slash had yet to land, but his sword force had already enveloped everything on all sides, sealing off the entire area.
The red serpent tried to flee, but it was like struggling in a cage. It bumped into walls on all sides!
“Qing Li, save me——!” it hissed, its voice full of surprise and terror.
But its voice had only just rung out when it came to an abrupt halt. Su Yi’s slash was already landing.
Splurt!
Its house-sized head fell from the sky, and a waterfall of dragon blood gushed from the stump of its neck.
Thud!
Both body and head slammed into the ground, popping like soap bubbles and scattering into ash.
It turned out that Su Yi’s slash hadn’t just taken the dragon’s head; it had severed its life force, destroying it in both body and soul.
He took nine steps through the heavens and slew a dragon in a single slash!
Heaven and earth split, and everything dimmed on all sides!
Qing Li watched this all play out, his expression instantly as unsightly as could be. Irrepressible fury arose on his brow.
