Chapter 1526 - Proving His Dao and Entering Manifesting Void

Stinging tribulation light fell, silent and without a trace.

Yet the aura permeating it was calamitous and terrifying beyond limit!

The man in the

changshan

freaked out, his handsome face full of horror and confusion.

What horrified him was the tribulation’s calamitous aura; it alone was enough to fill his heart with indescribable despair.

What confused him was that Su Yi had chosen to undergo tribulation in such a grievously wounded state. Why was he so confident that he could overcome it?

A moment later, he reached a conclusion.

The Reincarnator isn’t planning to survive this. He wants to borrow the tribulation’s power to take me to the grave with him!

The man in the

changshan

didn’t hesitate. He immediately turned to flee.

But he was one step too late. The light of the tribulation was too quick, and too destructive. There was no escape.

Within seconds, the man in the

changshan

was annihilated completely, swatted like a fly, severed like a blade of grass!

Although the man in the

changshan

couldn’t see it, when the tribulation light slammed into Su Yi, the mysterious outline of a sword shattered it.

A rain of light enveloped Su Yi’s tall, upright figure completely.

Surging vitality coursed into his body. His muscles, bones, skins, meridians, blood, and organs all underwent a startling transformation!

Even his exhausted cultivation base underwent a complete and utter shift.

Like a leafless tree coming back to life in spring!

“You must break before you can build. Although this battle pushed me to the brink of death, it provided just the opportunity I needed to undergo rebirth amidst destruction!” Su Yi muttered to himself, his eyes shining with gratification. He could clearly sense the qualitative transformation taking place within him!

Boom!

Deep within the tribulation clouds, lightning churned, then poured down to earth once more.

It was in that moment that the Sword of the Nine Hells awakened completely. It whooshed into the air, traveling against the tribulation light as it cleaved into the clouds. Its sharp edge waved through the air.

Crunch!

The tribulation light filling the sky split, and the endless tribulation light shattered into pieces, then poured down, like a river bursting through a dam.

Surging vital energy bathed Su Yi completely, continuously transforming him...

Why did he decide to part ways with Qi Fufeng?

Simple. With Qi Fufeng around, he might well escape numerous dangers, but when it came to his cultivation, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits!

Take what happened tonight. Had Qi Fufeng been here, he would have killed those Void Realm True Immortals a long time ago. Su Yi would never have needed to undergo a life-or-death struggle.

But in that case, he naturally wouldn’t have undergone this unprecedented transformation!

A full ten minutes passed before Su Yi completely refined all of the rain of light.

His cultivation base had smoothly advanced to the Manifesting Void Realm!

The void was empty and without end, space without limits. It had no boundaries, so it could contain everything!

Upon reaching this realm, he had to temper his Nascent Divinity until it was as “empty as the void, with limitless capacity.”

Su Yi’s Nascent Divinity was shaped like the Sword of the Nine Hells. It looked material, as if it really existed.

However, now that he’d reached the Manifesting Void Realm, the sword-shaped Nascent Divinity was like an endless void, continuously taking in the power of his cultivation base and Grand Dao!

When other Transcendents stepped into the Cloud Soaring Realm, they too underwent a metamorphosis. They collected Immortal Spirit Qi within their Nascent Divinities, using its power to make the Nascent Divinity realize a breakthrough.

This was starkly different from Su Yi’s approach. He made his Nascent Divinity break through first, transforming into a boundless void before filling it with Immortal Spirit Qi.

The two were qualitatively different.

That aside, after stepping into the Manifesting Void Realm, Su Yi’s body and soul underwent rapid breakthroughs too.

But the most wondrous transformation of all was something else entirely.

Back on the First Battleground’s Immortal Transformation Platform, Su Yi absorbed a shocking quantity of Immortal Spirit Qi. Now that he’d broken through, this enormous abundance of energy transformed into the raw, fundamental source energy and fused into Su Yi’s foundations in the Grand Dao!

This development meant that as Su Yi stepped into Manifesting Void, he established incomparably firm and powerful foundations!

A long time passed before the Dao Light hovering around Su Yi gradually dispersed.

His robes were still battered and bloodstained, but the man beneath them was completely different.

He seemed even calmer and more unaffected than before.

Looking at him from the outside, he seemed like an ordinary mortal, the type you could find anywhere. There was no trace of his cultivation base.

When Su Yi sensed his transformation, he couldn’t help but smile.

I’ll have completely stabilized my early-stage Manifesting Void Realm cultivation by the time I’ve refined the last of my Cloud Soaring Divine Essence,

thought Su Yi.

Suddenly, a rueful sigh rang out. “Reincarnator, your power truly isn’t simple!”

Su Yi whipped around and saw a figure approaching from beneath the distant darkness. He was dressed in a

changshan

, and a crown held his hair in place.

This was none other than the man who’d only just died beneath Su Yi’s tribulation!

“Was the one who died earlier your clone?” Su Yi’s eyebrows rose.

The man in the

changshan

shook his head. “No, that was my true body.”

He pointed to his chest, irrepressible hatred blazing in the depths of his gaze as he said with the utmost solemnity, “My heart aches!

“For countless years, I’ve enjoyed the protection of my deity. It was he who let me survive the Age of Fallen Immortals and avoid that far-reaching catastrophe. I endured all this time with great difficulty, only for the catastrophe you represent to destroy half a lifetime of cultivation!”

His hate-filled voice echoed throughout the darkness of the night.

The man in the

changshan

was already walking toward him, undisguised murderous intent written all over his handsome face

“But you can rest assured. No matter how angry I might be, I won’t kill you. You’re my god's designated sacrificial offering, and you’re only useful to him alive.”

As his voice rang out, the man in the

changsha

n took action. He raised his right hand into the air and tapped the air.

A dazzlingly bright black spear appeared out of nowhere.

Firelight interwove on the spear, and the power of the Laws burst forth, making the entire stretch of heaven and earth tremble. Space contorted, then collapsed with a bang.

Su Yi was suddenly like a little boat in turbulent seas, assailed by raging tidal waves, at risk of toppling at a moment’s notice.

Most terrifying at all, although he’d broken into Manifesting Void, his attack had a terrifying, suppressive effect on him!

“Suppress!” the man in the c

hangshan

shouted, his voice booming like spring thunder.

Boom!

The black spear bore down on the sky and shot toward Su Yi.

“A god’s power of the natural order...” Su Yi understood. The man in the

changshan

was a divine emissary!

Unlike the Divine Emissaries he’d killed in the Human Realm, the man in the

changshan

had an unimaginably powerful cultivation base.

This was just his last remaining clone, but its strength wasn’t inferior to a Saint Realm Immortal Lord!!

In the other words, the true body that had died beneath the tribulation was unquestionably even more terrifying.

As Su Yi’s thoughts raced, he drew upon the power of reincarnation without hesitation.

Clang!

The Sword of the Human Realm shot forth, bringing with it a light curtain of reincarnation. As it rumbled and it boomed, it ground the black spear’s power to nothing!

“Hmph!” The man in the

changshan

shot through the air and attacked. He rubbed his hands together, and lightning of the natural order descended, sending Su Yi flying.

Su Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

He was actually quite frustrated. Of late, either his opponents were too weak, or they were too strong.

He’d only just stepped into the Cloud Soaring Realm, and he was in peak condition. He figured that if he encountered those Void Realm True Immortals again, he wouldn’t need the power of the Sword of the Nine Hells. He’d be able to kill them on his own.

Who’d have thought his next opponent would be a divine emissary comparable to an Immortal Lord instead?

But Su Yi didn’t have time to think about all that. He was already using the power of the Sword of the Nine Hells and attacking with all his might.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out.

Su Yi reversed his disadvantage, breaking his opponent’s offensive with unstoppable force.

“Your trump card

isn’t

the power of reincarnation!?” exclaimed the man in the

changshan.

Earlier, he’d used Trace and Origin Trace, two forbidden arts, in an attempt to discern the nature of Su Yi’s trump cards. In the end, he learned nothing at all.

He concluded that a power not even Origin Trace could see through had to be reincarnation. What else could it be?

But when he really clashed with Su Yi, he realized that his conclusion was wrong. In addition to reincarnation, Su Yi was in possession of yet another terrifying power!

Meanwhile, Su Yi had no time to bother himself with his opponent’s thoughts. He swung his sword and attacked, hoping to end this as quickly as possible.

There was no getting around it. The man in the

changshan

was unreasonably strong. It wasn’t just that his strength was comparable to an Immortal Lord’s; his divine power of the natural order was extraordinarily strange and tyrannical too.

Unfortunately for him, he’d bumped into Su Yi.

Within moments, Su Yi dealt the man in the

changshan

a massive setback and inflicted bleeding wounds.

Shortly after, he cut off one of his arms. That strange power of the natural order was completely suppressed by the Sword of the Nine Hells.

The man in the

changshan

was on the verge of losing his mind. After all, at his peak, he could kill Immortal Lords with a snap of his fingers!

But tonight, he’d been misfortunate. His true body had died beneath the sudden onset of Su Yi’s tribulation without ever getting to display his true power.

And his remaining clone wasn’t even a tenth as strong as the original! Even his access to his god’s power of the natural order was severely limited!

He suddenly gnashed his teeth and turned to flee. “I’ll come back another day to settle the score, you little wretch!”

All that remained of him was a clone. If it was destroyed, not even the descent of his god could save him.

“Why wait? I’ll kill you today, you dog of the gods!” Su Yi chased after him with seething murderous intent.

The two of them shot through the air, ripping through the night sky. In the blink of an eye, they’d disappeared.

The man in the

changshan

was using a forbidden technique to flee, letting him cover endless distances instantaneously. He was unbelievably quick.

But Su Yi stayed close behind him. He knew over a hundred secret arts useful for giving chase, each so powerful they were practically taboo. Furthermore, he was dead set on killing the man in the

changshan.

He naturally wouldn’t hold back.

One ran and the other gave chase. The pursuit lasted a full hour.

Suddenly, Su Yi attacked.

A streak of sword light cleaved into the man in the

changshan

out of nowhere, as if slicing through the fetters of space and time.

The man in the

changshan

staggered and almost fell out of the sky. He whipped around, his face ashen and his eyes blazing with utter fury.

“Must we really destroy each other?!”

“Now that you’ve become my enemy, no one in heaven or earth can save you, not even a god!” Su Yi swung his sword and attacked.

Splurt!

The power of reincarnation appeared on the edge of his sword. The aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells burst forth, exploding the sky, like the river of the nine heavens bursting through a dam.

“If I die, you won’t live either!”

The man in the

changshan

seemed to realize he wouldn’t escape this catastrophe. He suddenly bellowed and advanced instead of retreating, meeting Su Yi head-on.

His tall, thin frame suddenly expanded into a ten-thousand-foot monster. He was pitch black throughout and shaped like a massive rhinoceros. His hooved limbs were like pillars.

His eyes shone with unnatural light, like unfathomably deep whirlpools.

“Die!”

He roared in fury, as if intent on shattering heaving and earth, then staggered on his feet. It was obvious that he was fighting with no regard for his own life.

But he’d ultimately underestimated just how terrifying Su Yi’s strike was.

Boom——!

A waterfall of sword qi poured down like a waterfall, connecting heaven and earth. It slammed into his opponent’s massive, bestial figure with unstoppable force and burst with tyrannical destructive power.

The massive beast’s shrieks shook the heavens. Its massive frame split into pieces with a waterfall of blood. But at the same time, a terrifying, taboo power burst from its body and swept toward Su Yi.

Su Yi's pupils constricted.
