Chapter 1007 - Is That the Extent of Your Abilities?
The look on the Netherworld King’s beautiful face shifted.
It was only after Su Yi broke his opponent’s first attack that she realized what had just happened, and a chill coursed down her spine.
A killer move had appeared silently and out of nowhere. Had Su Yi responded any slower, he might well have met his end already!
“That sword might be strong, but it cannot break my Laws of Cosmic Silence. It seems you’re hiding an even greater power.” Not far away, the man in the conical hat’s clear eyes were suddenly as deep as the starry sky, and an invisible majesty permeated heaven and earth.
The skies on all sides suddenly caught aze. Wisps of starlight surged into being, rising like waters at high tides around the man in the conical hat. He seemed like the sovereign of the starry sky.
The Netherworld King’s hair stood on end. She silently took a deep breath, and her ck dress swayed around her. The cmitous power of the Laws of Heavenly Prayer surged around her impressive figure as she prepared to enter the fray.
The man in the conical hat was just too strong! Even the Netherworld King felt suffocated in front of him.
But she didn’t n to just stand back and watch.
“The Laws of Heavenly Prayer? Hah?” The man in the conical hat was briefly stunned. It seemed he hadn’t expected this. However, a momentter, he smiled and waved his sleeves.
Boom!
A streak of starlight descended and caught aze. The Netherworld King was sent flying back, and shended a thousand feet away.
Her clothing was in tatters, and blood poured from numerous wounds. Her beautiful face was deathly pale, and her starry eyes were full of astonishment.
A gentle swish of the sleeves hadpletely destroyed her attack!
Just how terrifying was this guy’s cultivation base?
“Out of consideration for your leader, I won’t kill you. Step aside and watch the show. If you don’t, well, my respect for him only goes so far,” the man in the conical hat said coolly.
He could obviously see through her origins. Furthermore, he spoke as if he were extremely familiar with the mysterious leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion. He didn’t seem the least bit fearful!
He then turned his gaze back toward Su Yi and said leisurely, “Come on then, show me how you’re going to kill me.”
Su Yi nodded. “As you wish.”
He flipped his palm, and a sword hum erupted from the green-skinned gourd. A three-inch de shed into being.
The three-inch de was thin, translucent, and ethereal, like an illusory green shadow. As it floated in the air, it scattered a rain of sword qi.
Boom!
The sky tore like canvas in countless ces, unable to withstand its force.
A lofty, unsurpassed sword force suddenly bore down on all of heaven and earth!
“This is the sword Su Xuanjun was most pleased with in his past life?” The Netherworld King’s starry eyes focused. Even watching from afar, she felt a rending pain all over her skin; the sword’s majesty was just too sharp and forceful. It seemed capable of inverting Yin and Yang and piercing the heavens!
“Wondrous! This Dao Sword is naturally formed, as if seizing fortune from the heavens. It’s a rare Xiantian Divine Weapon. Even rarer, its source energies have the potential to undergo metamorphosis. How truly extraordinary!” The man in the conical hat pped.
“If you like it so much, how about I use it to send you on your way?” Su Yi said tly.
His clothing billowed around him, and his cultivation base circted to unprecedented extremes. Wisps of the golden light of the Grand Dao appeared around his tall, lean frame.
“I’ve faced numerous mighty foes before. Many of them said the same thing, but not one of them seeded in sending me on my way. I hope….” The man in the conical hat sighed. “I hope you can do it.”
Su Yi’s eyebrows rose slightly. This might have sounded arrogant, but in truth, he could sense his opponent’s desire for defeat!
Why would someone long for defeat? This typically happened when someone was invincible for too long, and lonely for too long!
Su Yi had experienced this in his past life.
ng!
Su Yi’s gaze was calm and distant, and he swung his right hand through the air.
The three-inch de expanded, bit by bit, until it was three feet long. The three-inch gourd transformed into the hilt, and the weapon fused together perfectly in Su Yi’s grip.
The impassioned hum of a sword shook heaven and earth. Forceful sword intent nketed the entire area, reverberating throughout the nine heavens.
Every inch of Su Yi now emanated lofty, contemptuous pride. That transcendent bearing made him seem like an ancient immortal of the sword descending into the dust of mortality.
The Netherworld King’s heart shook, and her eyes shone with strange light. “This… Perhaps this is the true magnificence of Su Xuanjun, the godlike legend honored throughout the heavens!”
Boom!
Su Yi leaped through the sky, sleeves fluttering as he shed with the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos.
It was simple and direct, without the slightest flourish.
But the sword force and momentum within this sh was unbelievably powerful. Heaven and earth wailed as if in submission!
“Your attainments in the Dao of the Sword are actually just barely worthy of my attention.” As the man in the conical hat muttered to himself, he stood there proud and unmoving. His right hand shot forth, and hisrge, fair-skinned palm hit the air.
A light, airy palm strike, without any bells and whistles.
The sword intent filled the heavens and soared into the firmament, only for a single palm strike to crush it into pieces.
And it was as if the hand of god had suppressed Su Yi’s attack. This sh could have in just about any Profound Serenity Realm cultivator with ease, yet now, it burst apart as if it were made of paper.
And Su Yi’s charging figure staggered, then took three steps back in the air.
As every footstep fell, the air suddenly caved in.
By the time he stabilized himself, Su Yi’s blood and qi were churning.
Despite himself, his heart shook.
The man in the conical hat wielded power as boundless as the starry skies and unfathomable as a cosmic void. Those who fought him felt utterly powerless!
The Netherworld King inwardly eximed, and she felt a chill in her hands and feet.
One light, airy palm strike had broken Su Yi’s offensive, forcing him to retreat!
This was unquestionably terrifying.
His cultivation base is inestimable, but there’s no way he’s weaker than I was at my peak… Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. There was no doubt about it: the man in the conical hat was an unmatched, utterly terrifying foe.
Even in his past life, Su Yi had rarely encountered such opponents!
This made him realize that even with the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos, relying on his cultivation and swordsmanship alone was doomed to end in failure.
“Su Xuanjun, hurry up and use the strongest abilities at your disposal. Otherwise, I really won’t have the patience to y with you any longer.” The man in the conical hat put his hands behind his back and said softly.
As his eyes moved, misty light rose. An aura of vicissitudes of countless years spread outward, and the zing starlight shone with increased resplendence. This only made him seem even more like a deity from the starry skies!
Su Yi attacked again without any wasted words.
He stepped into the air, clothing fluttering around him. His sword intent burst forth like raging waves. As each wave died down, a new one took its ce in a cycle without end. His strength was even greater than before!
ng!
The three-foot sword let out a long hum, and radiant, misty light swept through the air.
This sh was just like the one before. It was direct and unsophisticated, a return to simplicity.
The man in the conical hat furrowed his brow and whispered, “Is that the extent of your abilities?”
His right hand suddenly shed through the air, as if cleaving through the skies.
Streaks of starlight condensed into saber qi, which zed like divine mes. It was obviously far more terrifying than his earlier palm strike.
Heaven and earth trembled, and saber qi filled all of creation!
Off in the distance, the Netherworld King felt the urge to dodge. She couldn’t help but let out a low grunt as she immediately withdrew her divine sense. She no longer dared recklessly sense the man in the conical hat’s power.
It was far too terrifying! Attempting to sense it could easily lead to a bacsh.
But then, something unexpected happened—
How tyrannical was that saber sh? Yet when it shed with Su Yi’s sword qi, it instantly shook.
A momentter, it cracked and exploded.
That sky-splitting sh fell apart beneath Su Yi’s sword qi, crumbling inch by inch!
It’s that mysterious power that can counter the Laws of Cosmic Silence!! The Netherworld King’s spirits soared, and her heart filled with excitement.
Hm? The man in the conical hat was surprised, but before he could give the matter any further thought…
Boom!
The sword qi continued ahead, its power undiminished.
The man in the conical hat formed a hand seal and struck as if beating a heavenly drum.
Bang!!
A streak of sword qi exploded in front of him.
However, the man in the conical hat’s attack seemed a bit hasty. Although that startling sh ultimately failed to harm him, as the scattered sword light shot past him, one of the streaks swept across his temples, leaving a bloody gash on his face.
“This…” The excitement welling in the Netherworld King’s heart grew wings and flew away. Her starry eyes widened in disbelief.
That sh contained a power that counters the Laws of Cosmic Silence, but he actually shattered it!?
Su Yi’s eyelids rose. He was increasingly aware of his opponent’s strength.
“That sh… was a bit interesting.” The piercing pain made the man in the conical hat frown slightly, but his expression remained as warm as before.
He raised his hand and grasped with his fingertips, capturing a wisp of sword light just before it dissipated.
After sensing it briefly, he uncharacteristically lost hisposure, and his calm, amiable expression wavered. His eyebrows shot up in obvious surprise.
A momentter, his head whipped around, and his eyes zed with divine radiance, like flowing light cleaving through the boundless starry skies as he focused on Su Yi.
All of a sudden, his majestic aura was far more terrifying than before. He no longer seemed detached from worldly affairs. Instead, he seemed dignified and imposing.
“What kind of power is this, that it can counter my Laws of Cosmic Silence?” As he spoke, his mellow voice carried hints of bewilderment.
“If I die, you’ll naturally have your answer. If you die, knowing will do you no good,” said Su Yi. As his calm voice rang out, he stepped into the air and swung his sword.
“Su Xuanjun, the power you control has already sessfully piqued my interest, and you’re worthy of my full strength.” The man in the conical hat threw back his head andughed with iparable delight.
A momentter, his imposing aura transformed once more.
Boom!
He casually spread his arms, and as his sleeves billowed, endless, zing starlight fell from the sky, nketing heaven and earth and illuminating the ten directions.
The nearby skies abruptly melted, and aside from the Reincarnation Pool and the Sacred Tree of Samsara, everything throughout the surrounding hundred thousand feet caught on fire.
Even the intercrossing rifts and fragmented skies were enveloping in churning, fiery starlight.
It was as if he were intent on incinerating this entire stretch of heaven and earth!
The Netherworld King sensed the danger, and she immediately resisted with all her might. Only then did she just barely block the power of the zing starlight.
However, her beautiful face was now pallid, and utterly dread and unease were written all over her face.
The man in the conical hat now seemed far stronger than the three Heavenly Libationers of the Nine Heavens Pavilion!
This strength already surpassed the bounds of herprehension!
His terrifying power was enough to make someone break down and give in to despair. No one but the Supreme Leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion had given her such a sensation before!
“Just who is this guy!?” The Netherworld King was astonished, and she quivered from head to toe.
Meanwhile, Su Yi’s charging figure suddenly faced a terrifying onught.
