Chapter 2627 – Others Are Fish on the Chopping Block, and I Hold the Cleaver
The little girl knew better than anyone that Su Yi had numerous mysterious, unfathomable external treasures up his sleeves.
Like that mysterious worn-out sword sheath, and the unsurpassed sword force that Su Yi had used to break the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation!
Yet now, Su Yi was covered in wounds, but he still wasn’t using any form of external power. Something was obviously amiss here.
“Die!” The little girl streaked through the air like lightning, swinging her spear as she aimed for Su Yi’s head.
Her imposing aura expanded explosively. The eighteen Eternal avatars powering the combat formation could sense her extracting their power!
They exchanged glances. All of them were startled. Su Yi showed signs of imminent defeat. He clearly wouldn’t last much longer, so why risk it all like this?
The more of the formation’s strength the little girl used, the greater the drain on their avatars. When their avatars’ power ran out, they’d cease to exist!
Yet now, the little girl didn’t seem at all concerned with any of that. She wanted to attack ruthlessly and wipe Su Yi out in a single blow!
Su Yi’s pupils constricted. Given his current strength, he had no hope of blocking this attack, no matter how hard he tried.
I’ve yet to break through mid-battle, but… this is enough, thought Su Yi. Over the course of this battle, he’d further excavated his latent potential, and his strength underwent further tempering.
This was real progress too.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t just a clash of the Grand Dao. There was no room for him to gradually seek out an opportunity to break through.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yi decided to counterattack.
The Sword of the Nine Hells rumbled within his sea of consciousness, practically boiling over as an avalanche of inscrutable power swept forth.
When Su Yi swung the Sword of Proximity, that avalanche of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ power found release. It fused fully into Su Yi’s attainments in the Grand Dao and erupted in full force.
It was just one slash, yet unsurpassed sword force swept outward, collapsing heaven and earth and shattering the sky.
The little girl’s spear was forced back, taking her with it. Together, they flew over a thousand feet!
Everyone was astonished. Without exception, the distant onlookers’ expressions shifted.
But the little girl sighed in relief. “This is your hidden card? It might be terrifying, but no more than that.”
He’d revealed his hidden card, but he hadn’t swept through their ranks. A hidden like this wasn’t enough to scare her!
The Eternal avatars powering the formation sighed in relief, too.
Off in the distance, Su Yi stood in midair. This time, he finally spoke up. “‘No more than that,’ huh? It’s a pity, but none of you understand. When I use external power, it means the battle is now at its dullest.”
His clothes were covered in blood, and his long hair was a tangled mess. His face was pale, and his injuries were heavy.
But he was nonetheless badly injured. Even the blazing will to fight had vanished from his gaze.
It was just as Su Yi said. When it came time to employ his hidden cards, it meant the battle was at its most insipid.
“Hah!” An Eternal avatar couldn’t help but laugh. “You have hidden cards, but don’t we have them too?”
He spoke with disdain.
Su Yi said nothing. He just attacked directly, swinging his sword.
Boom!
That Eternal avatar exploded before the smile had even left his face. He’d been crushed like an ant!
The whole area fell silent. Everyone was astonished.
Even the little girl obviously hadn’t anticipated that Su Yi would be this terrifying.
The formation fused the powers of eighteen Eternal avatars. No matter which of them Su Yi attacked, he’d have to fight the whole formation.
Yet now, Su Yi had slain one of the Eternal avatars with ease!
Kaboom!
The whole battlefield was in chaos. The death of a single avatar affected all of the others, sending them flying like fallen leaves in a windstorm.
Startled cries arose on all sides.
The little girl didn’t get off lightly, either. The impact forced her backward, a muffled grunt escaping her lips.
Su Yi didn’t even have to attack the formation. It broke on its own!
But then, this was to be expected. The formation was a cohesive unit. Attacking anyone in it would affect everyone in it, destroying the formation completely.
The little girl stood amidst the churning clouds of dust and bellowed, “Use your power to ignite the talismans and summon the Profound Destiny Celestial Lightning!”
Boom!
The remaining seventeen Eternal avatars gnashed their teeth and set themselves ablaze, fusing into the golden talismans they carried.
This was effectively a suicide attack. They were destroying their own avatars just to ignite their golden talismans.
This scene startled Taishu Gong and the others. Only now did they realize that the New World Alliance would go so far as to make their Eternals burn their avatars of will just to defeat Su Yi!
It was truly terrifying and utterly unbelievable.
Su Yi watched this in silence. He was a bit surprised too, but that was the extent of it.
Boom!
Beneath the dome of heaven, a startling spacetime rift tore open. A strange, calamitous aura enveloped the entire Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
Every living being in the continent, no matter who or what they were, and no matter their cultivation base, could clearly see the enormous spatial rift beneath the home of heaven. It was like a gaping maw devouring the firmament!
This strange, calamitous vision startled all who saw it.
When the outlookers gathered near the Borderless Mountain saw it, their scalps went numb with fright. What’s going on here?
Before they could wrap their heads around it, a swath of inscrutable, mysterious tribulation lightning poured out of the spacetime rift.
It was turbid and chaos-like, and when it fell, heaven and earth were instantly under terrifying suppression. Everything shook.
Taishu Gong and the other False Eternals broke out in cold sweats, their expressions shifting as they moved further away.
This tribulation lightning filled even them with terror. They didn’t even need to think to know that if it touched them, they’d be completely doomed!
This was Profound Destiny Celestial Lightning, a tribulation from the River of Destiny. Only Eternals could control its power.
Yet now, it was being used to defeat Su Yi!
The little girl fixed her cold gaze on Su Yi, as if eager to see him lose himself to panic and despair.
But nothing of the sort happened!
Su Yi just stood there quietly. His gaze didn’t so much as ripple.
The only thing that changed was that a sword rose out of his body and shot into the nine heavens.
This was none other than the Sword of the Nine Hells.
Boom!
The world flashed before the onlookers’ eyes. They couldn’t see anything clearly. All they could do was watch as that swath of chaos-like tribulation lightning split, bursting like a cloud.
Even the spacetime rifts overhead collapsed, splitting into countless startling cracks and collapsing.
It was as if giant scissors had cut the spatial rifts apart.
This… The crowd watched in astonishment. All of them were wide-eyed and tongue-tied. What’s going on?
The little girl was visibly flabbergasted. That was Profound Destiny Celestial Lightning!The killer weapon Lu Shi prepared specifically to defeat Su Yi!
How could he have destroyed it just like that?
Meanwhile, the Sword of the Nine Hells silently returned to Su Yi’s sea of consciousness.
Over the past few years, Su Yi had fought across the world. He occasionally drew on the Sword of the Nine Hells’ power, all he did was control some of its aura.
It had been a long, long time since he’d summoned the sword itself to cleave through tribulation clouds!
Thus, although no one in this world knew it, now that he’d reached the peak of his Three Stages of the Undying Realm, he’d gained the ability to wield the Sword of the Nine Hells!
He was no longer just borrowing its aura. No, he was truly wielding it!
No one had ever seen this hidden card. How could they possibly have known about it?
It was just as he’d said earlier. When he revealed his hidden cards, the battle ceased to be interesting!
Heaven and earth were in chaos.
Everyone felt the impact, their expressions shifting as they realized that this didn’t bode well.
The little girl didn’t have time to give the matter any further thought, so she issued new orders. “Attack together. Use the Eight-Part Heaven-Butchering Formation!”
Boom!
This time, it wasn’t just the Eternal avatars of will. Taishu Gong and the other spectating alliance members shot forth, each drawing a formation diagram.
All of them were working together!
This was a killing formation far more terrifying than the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation. Soon, it had fully taken shape.
This was yet another of the cards they’d prepared.
However, no one had anticipated that they’d need to call on it so soon.
It was a pity, but they still didn’t understand how much despair they should have felt now that Su Yi had revealed his hidden cards.
“Go!” Su Yi waved his sleeve, and the Sword of the Nine Hells whooshed forth, like the instrument of Heaven’s Will. In a flash, it struck over one hundred times.
Each slash created a chasm through heaven and earth—and the killing formation the two alliances had worked together to place.
After a hundred slashes, the formation shattered like a block of tofu.
Desperate, agonized cries rang out.
Throughout the formation’s interior, fresh blood erupted like lava or fireworks. One explosion went off after another.
It didn’t matter whether someone was a Half-Step Eternal, a False Eternal, or an Eternal avatar of will. All of them broke like paper window paneling, dying in swaths beneath that unstoppable sword force.
If the battlefield was a chopping board, then they were the fish, slaughtered one after another!
But this time, Su Yi held the cleaver.
