First Immortal of the Sword - Chapter 2651 - Baa Baa Black Sheep
Chapter 2651 – Baa Baa Black Sheep
A calamitous aura swept outward, terrifying beyond measure.
There was no avoiding it.
Su Yi rose to his full height, sword qi flowing around him seemingly inextinguishable, ancient, and self-perpetuating.
When he swung his sleeve through the air, a streak of sword qi shot forth, soaring straight into the firmament. It connected with the ground below and swept outward in all ten directions.
Boom!!
The calamitous power filling the sky was forced back.
But it was far stronger than Su Yi anticipated. Although he broke through it in the end, it still left him injured. It was as if punishment lightning had electrocuted his entire body, leaving his skin charred black in numerous places.
He almost plummeted down to earth!
“You blocked it again?” exclaimed Di E. “This lofty one truly didn’t anticipate that Jiang Wuchen’s reincarnation would be so powerful before even achieving Eternity. You’re almost as strong as an Unfettered Realm Dao Lord.”
The Unfettered Realm was the first stage of Eternity.
An insurmountable chasm separated the Eternal and the Undying. The only way to cross it was to overcome one’s Eternal Tribulation and break through.
Even those closest to the Unfettered Realm, False Eternals, couldn’t block a single hit from a true Unfettered Realm expert.
Yet now, Di E was saying that Su Yi was almost as strong as an Unfettered Realm Dao Lord. If word reached the River of Destiny, it would surely cause a commotion.
Because, throughout the ages, no Undying Realm Master God had ever crossed this insurmountable “chasm”!
Su Yi hovered in midair, calmly wiping the blood from his lips. “And I wouldn’t have guessed that someone with an Eternal Throne would be so weak.”
Di E said expressionlessly, “The one standing before you is no more than a wisp of my power, less than one-ten-thousandth of my true strength. Even so, it’s more than enough to kill you!”
Boom!
The sky was plunged into chaos. Calamitous power blanketed the area, and a black spear of the natural order shot toward Su Yi.
It was swift and tyrannical, and it completely disregarded the Laws of Space!
The sense of an imminent lethal threat coursed through Su Yi. He would never have guessed that the former Half-Step Eternal, Di E, would have become this threatening.
This third strike was far more terrifying than the two before it.
Instinct told Su Yi that even if he drew on the full extent of his current cultivation base, he had no hope of blocking it.
He was sure to take heavy injuries!
But Su Yi didn’t back down.
The Sword of the Nine Hells rumbled in his sea of consciousness, and his Heart Soul rose, gathering its power.
But just as Su YI was about to go all out, a sheep bleated out of nowhere. “Baaaa!”
It was jarringly sudden, even a bit absurd, but… the black spear of the natural order hurtling toward Su Yi exploded as if it were made of paper window paneling!
It was just one foot away from him when it collapsed.
Di E, meanwhile, stiffened as if struck by lightning, then staggered several steps backward.
He instantly looked over, then saw a black sheep standing ten thousand feet behind Su Yi. She had appeared out of nowhere, and its cold gaze was locked onto Di E.
“You…” Di E opened his mouth as if to say something, only for the sheep to vanish in place.
A moment later, a headbutt sent Di E flying like a rubber ball!
Her horns even left two bloody gashes on his body.
The black sheep now stood where Di E had stood just moments prior, her wool fluttering in the wind.
She had no imposing presence, nor any sign of a special aura. It was impossible to even imagine that this seemingly ordinary sheep was the one who’d sent Di E flying!
Su Yi couldn’t help but find this surprising. The black sheep is seriously that strong?
Di E was stunned, and his expression shifted erratically. “Who are you? Why…?”
But his question came to an abrupt halt, as the black sheep had vanished again.
This time, Di E didn’t even pause to think. He just shot straight into the distance.
Boom!
A black hoof crushed the space he’d been standing in just moments prior, and a black sheet came back into view.
Di E frowned, his expression dark. If he hadn’t dodged in time, that hoof would have crushed his skull!
Where did this black sheep come from? Why is it so powerful?
Di E opened his mouth as if to say something, only for the black sheep to vanish into thin air once more.
The sheep obviously had no intention of giving him the chance to speak. It was ridiculously domineering.
Boom!
This time, Di E dodged by a hair, but the space he’d been standing in was devoured. The sheep’s mouth tore open an enormous spatial rift!
The sheep bleated, seemingly ashamed that Di E had dodged two attacks in a row, then attacked again.
Di E no longer dared to linger. He instantly turned to flee, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
The black sheep initially planned to give chase, but when she glanced back at Su Yi, she shook her head and gave up on the idea.
Su Yi saw it all. He finally realized something.
The black sheep might have been useless to the Shepherd, but here in the God Domain, she was terrifyingly mighty. She could do whatever she wanted with impunity.
When he thought about it, it made sense. The Shepherd was from the All-Profound Dominion. Someone he’d captured on the River of Destiny was sure to be extraordinary.
Meanwhile, the black sheep was headed his way, her gait calm and composed and her head held high, dignified and proud.
When she arrived before Su Yi, she used her hoof to write in the air, “You needn’t be astonished. I wouldn’t sink to boasting about something so trivial; I’m not that shallow.”
Although she said that, she held her head high with obvious pride.
Su Yi clasped his fist. “Thank you, Miss Sheep.”
M-miss… Sheep!? The black sheep stiffened, then waved her hooves frantically, writing, “I’m not a sheep!”
“You don’t like that name, huh? What should I call you, then?” asked Su Yi.
The black sheep fell silent. After a while, she hung her head in frustration and wrote, “I forgot.”
“Alright, then. I’ll just call you ‘Miss Baa Baa Black Sheep,” laughed Su Yi.
Miss Baa Baa Black Sheep!? The sheep raised her hooves in fury, barely resisting the urge to bash Su Yi’s head in. If you can’t think of a proper name, just don’t bother!
Su Yi gently patted her on the head. “In any event, I’ll remember this benevolence. Even if we wind up enemies one day, I’ll spare your life in light of this.”
The black sheep smacked Su Yi’s hand away, then dashed through the air, returning to her usual spot ten thousand feet behind him. She obviously had no intention of interacting with him any further.
When Su Yi saw this, he sighed. Miss Baa Baa Black Sheep is cold, proud, and easily angered, but… she’s quite strong!
I just wonder what she did to offend the Shepherd. How did she wind up in this state?
Su Yi pondered briefly, then said to the sheep, “Should the opportunity arise, I’ll break through your seal and let you reclaim your true body.”
The black sheep was stunned. Then, she burst into laughter. As if you could do that! What an empty promise!
Master placed his seal personally. How could just any old person break it?
Wait… my master? Who is my master, anyway? The black sheep looked dazed and bewildered. Severe problems really had arisen with her memory, and lots of critical information was completely absent.
Could I recover my memories if that guy really managed to break my seal? Maybe, but… he’s so weak. There’s no way he can pull it off…. The black sheep sighed to herself. I’ll just have to take things one step at a time.
……
Meanwhile, deep within a stretch of thunderclouds, thunderbolts as thick as dragons flashed, illuminating Di E’s face.
Someone used a strange secret art to seal that sheep’s presence, and it can display power beyond the Unfettered Realm without fear of a backlash from the God Domain’s chaos source. It’s truly out of the ordinary…
Who is that sheep? Why is it by Su Yi’s side? Don’t tell me that he found reinforcements?
But I’ve never heard of a sheep like that on the River of Destiny!
Di E furrowed his brow in silence.
Well, he wasn’t really Di E anymore, as he’d long since been possessed by Heavenly Sovereign E.
But Heavenly Sovereign E couldn’t think of anyone like the black sheep on the River of Destiny, either.
It doesn’t seem like there was a sheep like that among Jiang Wuchen’s old friends, either, Di E thought to himself.
Jiang Wuchen was Su Yi’s second incarnation, the Greatest of the Unthroned in the Eternal Heavens Domain!
As a Heavenly Sovereign, Heavenly Sovereign E naturally knew Jiang Wuchen like the back of his hand.
But he couldn’t find any connection between Jiang Wuchen and the black sheep.
It seems I’ll just have to wait until the Battle for Order begins to attack, thought Di E.
He’d originally planned to seize the initiative and take Su Yi down beforehand. That way, he could monopolize Su Yi’s good fortune.
Who’d have thought that a sheep would ruin his plans? The very thought of it filled him with frustration.
If that black sheep dares to show itself before me again, I’ll pluck its tendons and skin it to see what’s really going on beneath the surface!
……
Three days later, Su Yi awakened from meditation. His wounds had fully knit back together.
He set off once more, heading straight for Red Pine Mountain at top speed.
The black sheep followed from ten thousand feet away in silence.
Su Yi noticed that as he advanced deeper and deeper into the Central Divine Continent, he ran into fewer and fewer cultivators.
However, those few he did run into were, without exception, extremely powerful. Even the weakest were Nine-Tribulation Master Gods.
Their ranks included no small number of ancient cultivators of the Central Divine Continent.
However, it seemed they’d all already heard about his arrival. Wherever he appeared, everyone deliberately moved further away.
Even those who didn’t recognize his face took one look at his blue robes and the yellow-skinned gourd hanging from his face and figured out who he was.
Most ridiculous of all, one time, Su Yi saw an unparalleled battle raging in the distance. Both sides had multiple False Eternals, and they were fighting over a first-tier Fragment of heaven’s Will.
This was a supreme battle by the standards of the God Domain, but when they saw Su Yi in the distance, both combatants stopped fighting immediately, cleared a path, and gestured for Su Yi to go first…
