Chapter 1177: World Kings!

Heaven and earth seemed to catch ablaze.

The dense, approaching swarm of Spirit-Devouring Ants blanketed both the sky and the ground.

Any one of them at random could have threatened the life of a Profound Serenity Emperor. A lineup like this was enough to send even an Imperial Apex cultivator fleeing in panic!

Su Yi didnt flee. Instead, he took a step forward, and tens of thousands of illusory swords exploded around him.

Like countless densely packed beams of flowing light, or the rising and falling of surging tidewaters.

As Su Yi shot ahead

Boom!

The humming of a sword swept outward like wind and lightning.

Su Yi was like a sharp edge cleaving through the sky. Wherever he passed, countless Spirit-Devouring Fire Ants exploded, offering no more resistance than paper.

Nothing could stand in his way.

Meanwhile, the sword shadows tore open countless perfectly straight rifts in the sky.

The Spirit-Devouring Fire Ants could teleport, and they were incomparably quick.

But they couldnt take even a single hit from Su Yi.

His figure was surrounded by countless sword shadows. He didnt even need to do anything to cut open a path of blood!

The gray-robed old man couldnt help but cry out, Young lord, watch out! Somethings not right about him!

This local savage really is strong, even stronger than the old-timers we hunted earlier, said the long-robed young man. His eyes flashed. Seems to me that once we capture him, hed made a lovely Combat Soul Puppet.

Boom!

Off in the distance, a tide of sword hums rumbled as Su Yi fought his way out of their encirclement.

Please wait, young lord. Ill take care of the boy, said the gray-robed elder. He leaped into the air.

Kcch!

He swung his bone flute. The Laws interwove, and countless densely packed illusory demonic figures surged into being.

It was just one attack, but its power could have suppressed and killed just about any Imperial Apex Emperor of the modern era!

The gray-robed elder wasnt a World King, but he wielded a type of Celestial Law!

When Su Yi saw this, his eyes shone with a hint of disdain.

He couldnt even be bothered to waste time talking. He swooshed his sleeves, and

Boom!

Sword qi streaked through the air, and the shadows filling the sky disappeared.

Hm? The gray-robed old mans expression shifted, and he realized this didnt bode well.

Thus far, hed used his Celestial Laws to hunt and kill several Profound Unity cultivators. Every time, hed captured his prey with ease.

Thus, at first, he completely disregarded Su Yi. Only now did he realize hed most likely kicked an iron board.

Young lord, hurry up and flee! the gray-robed elder bellowed.

Meanwhile, the full extent of his cultivation base burst forth. He waved his bone flute to strike Su Yi from afar.

Boom!

New demonic figure surged forth, the power of the Laws flowing like a waterfall.

The power of this attack seemed capable of splitting both heaven and earth. It was terrifying beyond measure.

A voice tinged with disappointment rang out. Someone like you is no more interesting to me than chicken ribs. I cant work up any enthusiasm at all.

Su Yi then shot forth, using the fingers of his right hand as a sword to slash the air.

Bang!!!

The demonic figures filling the sky exploded, and the roiling power of the Laws collapsed and dissipated.

And the gray-robed elders bone flute shattered, inch by inch, its fragments flying in all directions.

Splurt!

The gray-robed elder coughed up blood and staggered back, one slash after another appearing all over his body.

Before he could steady himself, Su Yi appeared out of nowhere, raised his hand, and slashed.

A head flew through the air.

In the last moments before his death, the gray-robed elders eyes widened. Astonishment was written all over his face, as if he couldnt accept this.

A moment later, both his severed head and his body exploded into ash.

Uncle Ming! Off in the distance, the long-robed young man shouted in fury and alarm.

The moment the gray-robed elder ordered him to flee, he realized that something was amiss, and he turned and ran immediately. Alas, he could never have guessed that the gray-robed old man would lose so quickly!

Your turn. Su Yi leaped toward him.

The long-robed young man instantly panicked and shattered a talisman without hesitation.

Boom!

Divine flame surged into the heavens, and an avatar of will floated into the air, taking on the appearance of a middle-aged man with a willowy beard, Confucian robes, and a broad belt.

Like the descent of a god.

Save me, Ancestor! the young man cried out.

Dont panic. The skies arent going to fall, the middle-aged man said gently, calm and composed.

That so? Off in the distance, Su Yi laughed dryly.

A World Kings avatar of will, that was all. It wasnt even a proper clone. He could have killed it with ease even as a Profound Serenity Realm cultivator.

Let alone now that hed reached the mid-stage Profound Unity Realm!

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook violently, and the landscape was thrown into upheaval.

A streak of sword qi shot forth, cleaving at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man couldnt help but laugh coldly. Hah? Nowadays, even Emperors dare behave so impudently....Ah?

His expression changed abruptly, and practically relying on pure instinct, he blocked with all his might.

But mere moments later, his body exploded into pieces. One slash had been enough to destroy him.

Ironically, even then, his cold laughter echoed throughout heaven and earth.

How is this possible!? The long-robed young man was stunned out of his wits, and he almost broke down.

How could a local savage be this strong?

Whap!

The long-robed young man took a palm to the face, leaving him seeing stars. His entire body shuddered.

𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Who were you calling a savage just now? laughed Su Yi.

The last of the young mans bluster faded, and his face filled with dread. Who exactly are you?

Whap!

Another slap followed, almost cracking his skull. He clenched his teeth in agony, and his face contorted.

Su Yi laughed again. Didnt you want to make me your slave? What happened to your courage?

The long-robed young man quivered with fright, on the verge of a mental breakdown. He was baffled, and he couldnt even imagine how a young man barely over twenty could be so strong. Even a World Kings avatar of will had fallen beneath a single slash!

Speak. Su Yi raised his hand to hit him again.

Whap!

The young man reeled, and everything went dark as he almost fell unconscious.

He couldnt help but roar, Enough already! If youve got balls, just kill me!! Another day, my Thousand Spirits Demon Mountain will destroy your entire lineage!!

Just another useless, raving imbecile. Su Yi instantly lost interest. He reached out, shattered the young mans physical body, and extracted his soul.

You What are you doing? The young mans soul seemed to realize what Su Yi was up to, and he struggled like mad, shrieking, Dont do it! I surrender!

Oh? That's fine. I dont accept your surrender, Su Yi said casually.

...

Whap!

The young mans soul instantly lost consciousness.

Su Yi then proceeded to search it.

A little less than ten minutes later, Su Yi finally understood the young mans origins.

His name was Zhou Fang. His sect, the Thousand Spirits Demon Mountain, was in the Divine Origin Star Realm.

And the Divine Origin Star Realm was the territory of the Church of the River of Stars!

The experts of the Thousand Spirits Demon Mountain participating in this operation had come to the Wilds on the Church of the River of Stars orders.

Furthermore, theyd accompanied the Grand Libationer of the Lunar Palace into the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals.

The Church of the River of Stars had six such subordinate factions in total!

Indeed, its just as I thought. Even before the battle on the Sea of Falling Stars, the experts of outer space silently began operations in the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, thought Su Yi.

According to Zhuo Fangs memories, the experts of the Church of the River of Stars and their subordinate factions numbered about thirty in total.

Of them, only two were World Kings.

The first was Liu Jianchi, the Grand Libationer of the Church of the River of Stars Lunar Palace. The other was High Elder Luo Zihong of the Divine Origin Star Realms Bluecloud Daoist Sect.

Half a month ago, Liu Jianchi had led a portion of their experts away from this region. Theyd gone further into the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals to explore.

Meanwhile, Luo Zihong of the Bluecloud Daoist Sect led another group to search the outskirts of the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals for good fortune.

With a World King to back them up, exploring the outer periphery really is relatively safe,

thought Su Yi.

What really drew his attention was that, here in the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, World Kings cultivation bases werent subject to a backlash from the Laws!

In other words, here, World Kings could unleash their full strength!

Suddenly, Su Yis heart palpitated. Without the slightest hesitation, he dodged.

Practically simultaneously, a glittering silver arrow shot toward him, exploding in the spot hed stood just moments prior. The air collapsed, and a massive chasm formed on the ground below.

Terrifying destructive power swept outward, and the surrounding landscape shook violently.

Su Yi charged ahead, his clothing fluttering around him.

Only then did the high-pitched sound of tearing air ring out.

There was no doubt about it. That divine arrow had surpassed the speed of sound, slicing through space as it arrived, forceful to the extreme!

Eh? You actually dodged? A voice full of astonishment resounded from afar.

Su Yi looked over and saw a group shooting toward him.

The leader was a tall, lean man with coppery skin. His eyes blazed like twin suns, and he carried a bow carved out of bone.

The aura emanating from his startled both heaven and earth with its tyrannical ferocity!

Even just gazing upon him from afar, he resembled a barbarian god emerging from the wilderness.

Luo Zihong!

The high elder of the Bluecloud Daoist Sect!

They called him the greatest expert of the Dao of Archery in the Divine Origin Star Realm, and he was in the mid-stage Heavenly Longevity Realm.

The bone bow he carried was supposedly carved from the natal bone of a Denglong, and it could easily pierce even a World Kings defenses!

Su Yi had learned all of this from Zhuo Fangs memories.

Su Yi had inherited the Temple Masters memories. Despite the Temple Masters transcendent status, he didnt know anything about Luo Zihong. That was unquestionable proof that Luo Zihong had proven his Dao and become a World King after the Temple Masters reincarnation.

A large group of cultivators followed Luo Zihong, both men and women. Their auras were ferocious, their momentum startling.

Practically all of them were in the Profound Unity Realm!

These were undoubtedly the experts of the Church of the River of Stars and six of its subordinate factions.

Finally someone worth paying attention to, Su Yi said softly. The depths of his gaze surged with the will to fight.

Last time, on the Sea of Falling Stars, hed been surrounded by over a dozen World Kings, but it was the power of the Temple Masters Dao Imprint that let him break through their encirclement. Hed only just stepped into the early-stage Profound Unity Realm, and at the time, he wouldnt have lasted long relying on his own power.

It was different now. He was already in the mid-stage Profound Unity Realm, and his opponents included just one World King.

Su Yi naturally wasnt afraid!

As for the Profound Unity Emperors? He directly ignored them.

Hah? Youve sure got a mouth on you. Off in the distance, Luo Zihong took a breath, drawing upon the force of his surroundings. The mountains and rivers swayed, and the air wailed.

His eyes flashed with divine light as he coldly scanned Su Yi. Release Zhuo Fangs soul, and Ill let you die painlessly. Otherwise, I won't let you die no matter how much you beg me!
