Chapter 1199 - He Comes and Goes as He Pleases

This was an expertly prepared deathtrap!

When Su Yi realized this, his brow furrowed, and he struck three times in rapid succession.

Heaven and earth were in chaos.

These three streaks of sword qi were each full of the power of Profound Ruin, and they struck in three different directions.

Bang!!!

The silver Daoist seal swayed violently, scattering firelight. The waves rippling from the green bell boomed and swept back from whence they’d came as sword qi ripped through them

And the purple flying sword was blocked over a hundred feet, unable to advance even an inch further.

Whoosh!

Su Yi seized the opportunity to disappear into thin air.

A moment later, he reappeared several thousand feet away.

These exchanges were over in the blink of an eye, unbelievably quick.

Had Su Yi reacted any slower, he likely would have died, his Dao destroyed with him.

Instead, he relied on his terrifying awareness and combat experience to neutralize this multi-pronged attack and break free of his enemies’ encirclement.

“Is it really possible for a Profound Unity Emperor to possess such power?” a startled voice rang out.

“I can say with certainty that even in the Dark and Gold Star Realm’s golden age, there were no Emperors like him...” someone else muttered grimly.

“The more impressive he is, the more important it is that we kill him!” said another, his voice rife with entirely unconcealed murderousness.

Three others appeared alongside the badly injured Jin Chi.

One was an old man in silver robes. The purple flying sword hovered in front of him.

One was a man with a curly beard. He held the silver Daoist seal aloft.

One was a middle-aged man in gray robes. The green bell hovered above his head.

All three of them emanated the characteristic aura of Oneness World Kings. Their majesty was terrifying, and they were connected to the Laws of the surrounding area, as if they were its three sovereigns. Su Yi could tell at a glance that they were Enforcers of the secret origin grounds just like Jin Chi.

Boom!

Divine flame soared into the air, and treasure light streaked into the firmament.

It was as if they feared nothing more than Su Yi fleeing. All three Enforcers activated their treasures and attacked once more, ruthless and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

But Su Yi didn’t run.

A lineup like this was far from enough to scare him.

Clang!

The hum of a sword swept forth like the tide.

Su Yi charged through the air, sword swinging as he leaped into the fray.

But this time, he didn’t draw upon the Sword of the Nine Hells.

Now that he’d reached the pinnacle of Profound Unity, the amount of power he could draw from the Sword of the Nine Hells had increased many times over. However, that represented a correspondingly huge drain on his cultivation base.

Unless it was truly life-or-death, using the Sword of the Nine Hells would do more harm than good. Especially since the Laws of Profound Ruin were extremely draining too...

A grand battle broke out.

Su Yi single-handedly fought three Enforcers in an incomparably fierce struggle.

The raging battle devastated the entire landscape. Mountains and rivers crumbled and the earth split in an apocalyptic, calamitous scene.

Mere moments passed before Su Yi found himself covered in blood. His situation looked dire.

His opponents’ cultivation bases were just too high!

When three Oneness World Kings attacked together, they were unimaginably terrifying.

Even though the Laws of Profound Ruin could suppress their power of the Laws, the disparity in strength was far too enormous.

“He’s injured!”

“We can’t give him time to catch his breath!”

The three Enforcers’ gazes were sinister, and they attacked with increased forcefulness.

Su Yi couldn’t help but smile.

Mere flesh wounds, that’s all. Are they really worth getting so excited about?

Boom!

Heaven and earth overturned, and the sun and moon lost their luster.

The battle raged with increased intensity. Su Yi was visibly at a disadvantage, and it seemed he wouldn’t hold out much longer.

But his essence, qi, and spirit only intensified, as if they’d caught ablaze!

His flesh, meridians, acupoints, organs, qi, and soul... all underwent repeated tempering.

He was like an unfinished sword still in the forge, his remaining impurities hammered away. Light fired in all directions as his latent potential was relentlessly excavated.

“This isn’t enough. I still need just a little more, the kind of soul-stirring shock you can only get from true life-or-death peril...”

Even as the battle raged on, Su Yi keenly sensed his own awakening, deeply buried potential.

This still wasn’t enough!

He fought with renewed intensity. No matter how many injuries he accumulated, he never shrunk back. It was as if he were completely disregarding life and death.

He’d forgotten the heavens, the earth, and even himself!

His body, his heart, his Dao of the Sword, his soul... all of them were completely focused on this fierce, perilous battle.

Before long——

The three Enforcers were stunned, their expressions betraying the incredible shock they felt.

They were attacking together. Su Yi was riddled with wounds, and his blue robes were stained red. Anyone else would have given out a long time ago.

But that wasn’t at all the case for Su Yi.

The worse his injuries, the more his essence, qi, and spirit flourished, and the more unyielding his will to fight.

Like a sword taking shape amidst blood and fire.

If he failed to withstand this tempering, he’d break.

If he succeeded, he’d transform completely, becoming a divine weapon!

“Is this kid seriously borrowing our hands to excavate his latent potential, firm up his foundations, and create an opportunity to prove his Dao and become a World King?” The silver-robed elder frowned as he picked up on the clues.

“Let’s end this as soon as we can. We can’t let him struggle any longer!” The curly-bearded man’s murderous intent was shocking, and his eyes flashed like lightning.

“Watch out for his trump cards! They’re enough to sever the Laws of the secret origin grounds. They’re a lethal threat even to us!” Jin Chi called out a warning. He was treating his wounds in the distance.

Su Yi had injured him badly earlier. This bloody, painful lesson told him that if they backed Su Yi into a corner, the consequences would be dire!

“Got it!” The gray-robed middle-aged man gnashed his teeth and unleashed a secret art. The bronze bell suddenly expanded to many times its original size and descended, trying to envelop Su Yi.

At the same time, the silver-robed elder and curly-bearded man used their killer moves too.

Boom!

Practically simultaneously, a powerful, lethal threat stimulated Su Yi’s mind, and his heart palpitated in terror. It was as if the sharp edge of a sword was brushing against his throat.

It was as if the door to his most deeply buried latent potential opened. It surged out of him, like flood waters bursting through a dam.

It was then that the danger peaked.

The threat of imminent death practically smacked him in the face.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yi drew upon the Sword of the Nine Hells’ aura.

Clang!

The Tiny Heart of the Cosmos rumbled and boomed as he slashed through the air.

The mountains and rivers instantly dimmed. Heaven and earth sank back into stillness.

Indescribably terrifying sword force swept throughout the battlefield, as if overturning mountains and seas.

Crunch!

The glittering silver Daoist seal split into pieces.

Bang!!!

The purple flying sword was sent flying, the pressure bending, then snapping the blade.

Clang

——

!

The green bronze bell swayed violently, then dissipated into countless fragments.

Almost simultaneously, the three Enforcers suffered severe injuries, and they were sent flying. All three cut sorry figures.

Despite Jin Chi’s warning, experiencing the strength of this slash made their hair stand on end. They were visibly shaken.

One slash, and he’d turned the tides. Wasn’t his killer move a bit too terrifying!?

Boom!

Su Yi swung his sword and advanced.

His cultivation base was on the verge of running dry, and his wounds were severe. He had to kill his enemies as quickly as possible.

“Hurry up and run——!” Jin Chi bellowed.

But there was absolutely no need for his warning. The three Enforcers had long since sensed that this didn’t bode well, and they immediately fled as far as they could.

But how could Su Yi give them the chance to escape?

He swung his sword through the air.

Boom!

Heaven and earth split like canvas, forming a massive rift. Space collapsed around it.

Immediately afterward, a desperate shout rang out.

That slash cleaved the gray-robed middle-aged man in two. Both halves exploded with a bang, reduced to ash. Only his soul escaped, but it too was injured and on the verge of dissipating.

His injuries were far too severe. He was like a candle flickering in the wind, at risk of going out at any moment!

Chills coursed through the other Enforcers.

What kind of power is this? It’s simply taboo!!

Su Yi didn’t even look at them. He just attacked again.

But he was still mid-charge when something unexpected happened.

Boom!

Streak after streak of resplendent light arced through the air, forming a massive net that blanketed the skies and blotted out the sun.

Su Yi’s gaze focused. He swung his sword and cut through it.

The massive net of divine light crumbled with a bang, scattering into a rain of light.

But almost simultaneously, an all-but translucent, seven-inch flying weaver’s shuttle shot explosively toward him.

It all happened so suddenly that not even Su Yi could react in time. All he could do was dodge instinctively.

Splurt!

Beads of blood sprayed the air.

There was now a bloody hole through Su Yi’s chest. He swayed violently on his feet.

Rending, agonizing pain coursed through his entire body, and his handsome face paled.

Beneath the distant dome of heaven, two more figures appeared, a man and a woman.

The man was tall and thin. He wore a high crown and old-fashioned robes.

The woman was dressed in green, with a tall hat. A seven-inch weaver’s shuttle hovered in front of her.

There was no doubt about it. Earlier, the two of them had attacked in an attempt to catch Su Yi off guard.

When they saw this, Jin Chi and his allies sighed in relief.

“So, all six Enforcers were here all along,” Su Yi said softly. His injuries were far too severe, and he was bleeding all over. There was even a startling hole right through his chest.

Even the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos was covered in hairline, spider web-like cracks. It looked as if it were on the verge of falling apart.

A moment later, a cold arc tugged at his lips. “But I’ve already achieved my goal in this battle. As a reward, next time I see you, I’ll send all of you on your way personally.”

His gaze was distant, inscrutable, and calm. His words were light and airy.

But the implications were enough to make one shudder.

The Enforcers all seemed to realize something. They visibly reacted and attacked without hesitation.

Boom!

Heaven and earth were in upheaval. The power of the Laws poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire landscape.

But their attacks hit nothing but air.

Su Yi had disappeared in a flash, as if he’d evaporated.

“Dammit!!!” Jin Chi roared in fury and gnashed his teeth, bitterness written all over his face.

“How could we have known that he’d be able to counter our mastery of the area’s Laws...?” The silver-robed elder’s face was ashen.

Trial-takers in possession of eighteen Dark and Gold Tokens could use them to transport themselves directly to the path of trials!

As Enforcers with control of the surrounding Laws, they ought to have been able to prevent this.

They could never have guessed that Su Yi could counter their attempt at interference!

“We went all out earlier, but that boy’s trump cards were truly terrifying. He broke through our encirclement in one fell swoop, dealing us heavy wounds. That’s what gave him the opportunity to flee.” The soul of the middle-aged man in gray sighed.

His physical body had been destroyed, and his soul was badly damaged. He’d only just barely escaped with his life. Even just discussing it now filled him with lingering terror.

In the distance, the woman in green suddenly laughed.

“No need for anger and hatred, everyone. The boy is badly injured, and my God-Breaking Shuttle pierced his chest. Even if he steps onto the path of trials, he won’t last long.

“If everything goes as I expect, he’s sure to die there!”
