Chapter 3076 - The Power of that Daoist Seal

A towering, blood-red lotus rose into the heavens, its petals unfurling like a blast of fireworks.

Countless flowing beams fell, like a rain of blood-red light, utterly dazzling, dreamlike, and resplendent.

The crimson downpour slammed into the killing formation covering the Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain, creating countless holes in the closest corner of the formation.

Qing Shi and the other experts of the Lower Court of Three Purities Temple couldn’t help but frown, then gasp as an unbelievable scene played out before them.

Countless blood-red lotuses took to the air, then bloomed like fireworks, illuminating the sky.

A blood-red downpour of brilliant rain fell in waves, covering the entire Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain.

The Thirty-Three Heavens Lightning Grotto Formation suddenly seemed as fragile as a sheet of paper. The stingingly brilliant rain left it as riddled with holes as a wasp nest.

This was a killing formation powerful enough to defeat Heavenly Sovereigns, yet now, it had been pierced in countless places. It was easy to imagine how terrifying it was.

Qing Shi, his companions, the Heavenly Sovereigns, and the Sovereign Corpses all looked on in horror, then dodged like mad, terrified that the blood-red rain would hit them.

Meanwhile, the Cauldron of Fate hovered around Su Yi, flowing with a mysterious, inscrutable rain of light that protected him and his allies.

Unbelievably, as terrifying as the blood-red rain was, and although it was sweeping throughout the entire area, it left the area around Su Yi untouched.

Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi’s eyes sparkled, while the two River Ancestors gaped with astonishment. What even is this?

Countless blood-red lotuses bloomed, and crimson light enveloped heaven and earth, blasting through the killing formation. Even just the spectacle of it all was enough to shake the onlookers’ hearts.

Moreover, they’d been in grave danger just moments prior, but Su Yi had turned the situation on its head in a single move.

Kaboom!

The blood-red rain scattered, and firelight swept out in waves.

Their enemies dodged, but each looked more wretched and unseemly than the one before.

One of the Sovereign Corpses failed to dodge, and the blood-red rain slammed into him. It was like death by a thousand cuts. His body split into countless pieces before even the chunks crumbled into ash and vanished into the dark seawater.

In the last moments before his destruction, the Sovereign Corpse struggled with all his might, unleashing every shocking ability at his disposal, but it was to no avail. He was nonetheless reduced to ash.

Even Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi looked impressed this time.

“What did you think of my fireworks?” Su Yi asked with a laugh.

River Ancestor Luo Yu murmured in a bit of a daze, “They were beautiful enough to shake the heart and soul.”

River Ancestor Hu Chan nodded repeatedly.

Su Yi was speechless. Who asked you two?

Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi glanced at him and sneered. “Don’t get cocky!”

Su Yi laughed.

Meanwhile, as the blood-red rain spread, the experts of the Lower Court of Three Purities Temple felt the impact, too. All of them were like little boats battered about in turbulent waters. They risked “capsizing” at any moment.

Startled cries and infuriated roars rang out, rising and falling in waves.

The six Heavenly Sovereigns looked wretched, too. They were doing their utmost, but to their surprise, that red rain was even stranger and more terrifying than the waters of the Sea of Fate. It effortlessly tore through their attacks and into their defensive Dao Light!

They had no choice but to dodge with all their might and avoid the brunt of the impact.

Qing Shi was furious. “Dammit! How could Su Yi possibly be controlling the Past Karma Blood Lotuses?”

The Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain was special. It was one of the most forbidden places in the Sea of Fate, a place like nowhere else.

And the Past Karma Blood Lotuses were the most terrifying thing about it!

These strange plants were born of fate source energies, and they absorbed the power of Past Karma from the Sea of Fate. Any corpses, treasures, and Laws of the Grand Dao that fell into the Sea of Fate became their fertilizer.

The Past Karma Blood Lotuses had existed since the early days of the Primordial Era. They were among the most dangerous, taboo existences in the entire Sea of Fate.

Not even Heavenly Sovereigns dared touch them lightly, for if they did, the power of Past Karma would assail them, invading their hearts and souls. In the end, they’d perish in the Sea of Fate, becoming fertilizer for the flowers!

In other words, the Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain was like a giant lotus pond with Past Karma for fertilizer. The flowers could bury all living beings that entered these waters!

And Su Yi was like the ruler of the entire Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain. He could control the seawater, and now, it seemed he could manipulate the lotuses, too!

All of this was entirely outside of Qing Shi’s expectations, and it completely ruined all of his plans!

“All of you, attack together! Kill him!” Qing Shi bellowed, his eyes glinting with hatred.

His orders seemed extraordinarily frenzied, but against expectations, every expert of the Lower Court of Three Purities Temple attacked without hesitation. They flashed through the air, shuttling through the pouring, crimson rain, and lunged at Su Yi.

“Hold onto this,” said Su Yi, passing the Medallion of Past Karma to Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi. “With this, you can control the seawater and defend yourself. All you need to do is watch—don’t intervene. I don’t want anything unexpected to happen.”

Then, he marched into battle before Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi could respond.

He raised the Cauldron of Fate aloft, his qi rumbling and booming as he hurtled through the air.

“Die!” The man leading the charge was a thin, dark-skinned Daoist. His momentum was terrifying, and he was every bit as powerful as a Heavenly Sovereign.

He waved a bronze ruler, manifesting intense, glowing celestial bodies.

But Su Yi didn’t even pause to glance at him. He just gripped the fist-sized Cauldron of Fate and swung it in a circle.

Kaboom!

The blood-red rain gathered madly around Su Yi’s hand, exploding as he struck.

It was just one strike, but the bronze ruler split on impact, followed by the dark-skinned Daoist’s skull. His body exploded next, ripped to shreds beneath the crimson rain.

Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi and the two River Ancestors couldn’t help but gasp.

Hua Qingyi had been worried that Su Yi’s decision to fight on his own was overly reckless. Only now did she realize that she’d underestimated him.

He’d had numerous countermeasures prepared right from the start, including the Medallion of Past Karma and the Cauldron of Fate.

The six frantically dodging Heavenly Sovereigns couldn’t help but gasp, their hearts heavy. Even the mighty experts of the Lower Court of Three Purities Temple can’t block so much as a single hit!

Su Yi had just slain a powerful foe, but he wasn’t at all happy. On the contrary, his brow furrowed.

He’d just noticed that the dark-skinned Daoist had turned into a tattered, yellowed talisman after he “died.”

A puppet, huh? How terrifying and taboo must that talisman have been? It actually manifested a seemingly living person, not one whit weaker than a Heavenly Sovereign! And it even managed to deceive our senses!

But the others attacked before Su Yi could give the matter any further thought. All of them were experts of the Lower Court of Three Purities Temple, and they carried a wide range of weapons. Every one of them unleashed power comparable to that of a Heavenly Sovereign. All were terrifying beyond measure.

When they attacked together, Su Yi felt as if he were being surrounded by seven Heavenly Sovereigns at once!

Weng!

An inscrutable light flowed over the cauldron’s surface, guiding the blood-red rain. All of it gathered around Su Yi.

A moment later, Su Yi shifted through the air, jade cauldron in hand, and attacked with all his might.

Crack!

A shocking impact rang out, and a mirror split into pieces. The woman holding it exploded into bits a moment later.

Su Yi immediately launched another attack, then another, striking with unstoppable force. One by one, he struck every last enemy down.

As easily as if he were chopping up vegetables.

In the blink of an eye, every expert of the Lower Court of Three Purities Temple was dead, save for Qing Shi.

His majesty was such that even the Heavenly Sovereigns’ hearts shook, their expressions increasingly solemn. The Cauldron of Fate is terrifying! It’s just a treasure, but here on the Sea of Fate, it’s enough to let an Immeasurable Realm cultivator like Su Yi erupt with such overwhelming force!

But Su Yi’s brow furrowed once more, because all of his enemies transformed into battered talismans on death. Obviously, they weren’t real people either!

Su Yi couldn’t help but suspect that if someone managed to gather a big pile of such talismans, they’d be able to dominate the entire Eternal Heavens Domain and crush all Heavenly Sovereigns beneath their feet.

After all, each talisman manifested an expert comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign. What would it look like if someone acquired ten of them? Or one hundred? Or a thousand?

Just how terrifying a scene would that be?

Even as his thoughts raced, Su Yi’s movements never ceased. He shot through the air and charged at Qing Shi.

When you fought bandits, you had to capture the leader first. The battle would be over once he’d taken Qing Shi down!

Qing Shi’s face was ashen. He bellowed, “You ruined my plans. I won’t forgive you!”

He swung his fly whisk with one hand, then summoned a black seal with the other.

Boom!

The seal took to the sky like a rising black sun, shaking the entire Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain. The sky collapsed, and startling cracks appeared all over the firmament.

The omnipresent blood-red rain was ruthlessly suppressed. It froze in midair, then dimmed and withered.

Everyone on both sides looked stricken. The black seal’s power was just too terrifying. It shook the walls of the entire hidden realm. The whole place showed signs of imminent collapse!

The black seal’s power was obviously far beyond the limits of a Heavenly Sovereign.

It wasn’t just the Heavenly Sovereigns and River Ancestors; the three surviving Sovereign Corpses were intimidated, too!

A cold look appeared on Su Yi’s face. I knew it! He really does have a treasure beyond the limits of a Heavenly Sovereign!

A shocking crack rang out, and the hidden realm containing the Blood Lotus Forbidden Domain collapsed, unable to withstand the seal’s pressure.

The entire hidden realm had collapsed. How great a disturbance did that cause?

The entire Sea of Fate felt the impact. Fierce waves rose on the previously tranquil seas, followed by a hurricane of Fate Tribulation Light. It swept throughout the entire area.

No one knew just how many cultivators had entered the Sea of Fate of late. Some had already died, but most were still here.

They’d gathered here from all over the world, but now, all of them watched in horror as a storm of Fate Tribulation Light swept across the entire Sea of Fate.

It happened in a flash, but there was no telling how many died brutal deaths.

It was then that Qing Shi activated the seal’s unimaginably terrifying power and sent it hurtling toward Su Yi.

Heavenly Sovereign Qingyi and the two River Ancestors’ hearts were on tenterhooks. They were more nervous than ever before.

Su Yi’s brow furrowed. In response to this unprecedented, lethal threat, he took out both the Cauldron of Fate and the Book of Destiny.

But it was then that several unexpected developments happened in rapid succession.
