Chapter 1897: Suppression

Boom!

The sky caved in beneath Su Yi’s feet, and he shot forth like an arrow loosed from the bowstring, swinging his sword at the ornately dressed, golden-haired man.

Quick as a beam of light, forceful as a thunderbolt.

The lavishly dressed, golden-haired young man snorted coldly. No one saw him move, but the sword strapped diagonally across his back left its scabbard.

Clang!!!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out, and as sword qi swept outward, Su Yi swayed on his feet and took several steps back.

The lavishly dressed, golden-robed man was forced back too, his handsome face flushed red.

His pupils constricted. “This guy really is comparable to a peak Immortal Sovereign. No, he’s even a bit stronger!”

There was no doubt about it. He’d been quietly estimating and gauging Su Yi’s strength earlier.

Su Yi, meanwhile, looked at the sword in the divine son's hands. It resembled a withered tree branch, except that it was bright red and twisted up like a serpent. The blade was covered in mysterious diagrams. It was strange and mysterious, yet at the same time imposing.

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose.

That sword isn’t a divine treasure, but it’s absolutely a supreme weapon among Great Profound Stage immortal treasures.

Suddenly, the woman stepped forth. “Let me try him!”

She raised a fair, jade-like hand and slashed the air.

Bang!!

The sky split, and a dazzling silver palm imprint descended upon Su Yi.

Upon closer inspection, what resembled a primordial demonic domain surged within it. Countless terrifying demon gods howled, emanating an aura so terrifying that Su Yi felt prickling pain on his skin.

He instantly concluded that this woman’s strength was on par with Gu Yunchan, Jia Yun, and the other unparalleled divine children.

As Su Yi’s thoughts raced, his sword turned, and he slashed the air.

Bang!!

The silver palm strike split into pieces. Yet after it split, it manifested a demonic domain and entrapped Su Yi.

A Grand Dao Hidden Realm——the Primordial Demon Domain!

Su Yi’s eyes flashed, and he pressed down with the Sword of the Human Realm. “Break!”

Boom——!

Boundless sword intent surged forth, manifesting the Six Paths of Reincarnation, then bore down on the sky. The boundless demonic domain collapsed with a bang.

Off in the distance, the dual-pupiled woman swayed on her feet, and her exquisite eyebrows knit together. “You really are strong. You’re far more terrifying than we imagined.”

Her raspy voice had a hint of soft, feminine magnetism. It was highly distinctive.

When they heard her evaluation, Qing Xiao, Jin Zhuliu, and Gongyang Yu couldn’t suppress the complicated looks on their faces.

They vividly recalled fighting Su Yi in the ruins of the Dragon Palace. Back then, he needed to work with Xi Ning to contend with them. Now, Su Yi was far stronger than he’d been back then. He hadn’t just broken into the Great Martial Stage; his strength had reached downright unreasonable heights!

“This is what makes reincarnation so terrifying. It lets someone repeatedly undergo rebirth to cultivate anew, accumulating wisdom and experience over multiple lifetimes. This is why it’s one of the greatest taboos in this world!” The lavishly dressed golden-robed man sighed. “If we don’t destroy this heretic, we won’t be the only ones to suffer. Even the gods will be unable to eat or sleep in peace!”

Boom!

As he spoke, Su Yi leaped into the fray.

The divine children hesitated no further. All of them attacked with all their might.

“Cut!”

The lavishly dressed, golden-haired man was the most domineering. He clashed with Su Yi head-on, his blood-red sword erupting with terrifying murderous intent and startling destructive power.

The woman in black attacked almost simultaneously. She flipped her hand, and a ten-foot-long giant axe appeared in her grip. The head was glittering silver, and its surface was carved with countless intricate divine markings. Together, they formed a strange scene of demons making sacrifices to their ancestors.

When she swung the giant axe….

Boom!

The sky collapsed, forming countless chasms as it split. Terrifying power of the Grand Dao manifested countless illusory demonic figures, which charged at Su Yi alongside the giant axe.

Qing Xiao took out a purple jade ruler and gently swung it through the air. Endless lightning poured down from the heavens.

Jin Zhuliu and Gongyang Yu took out a golden tower and a blue spear respectively, then charged at Su Yi with the others.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out. Here, the five divine children had no fear of divine misfortune, so all of them unleashed their matchless, terrifying power.

That aside, all of their weapons were rare, supreme secret treasures, and their abilities were wondrous divine arts. Each was more terrifying than the one before. They were enough to leave the Great Profound cultivators of the Immortal Realm ashamed of their own inferiority!

It was obvious how terrifying they were now that they’d joined forces. Indeed, in the blink of an eye, Su Yi was thoroughly surrounded, danger looming from all sides!

Qing Xiao, Jin Zhuliu, and Gongyang Yu weren’t overly strong, and they weren’t much of a threat. It was the golden-haired man and dual-pupiled woman who were really giving Su Yi trouble. Both were unparalleled figures among divine children, and they were ruthless and tyrannical, with an extraordinary superabundance of combat experience.

Strictly in terms of personal strength, they were still inferior to Wang Ye at his peak, but they were undoubtedly terrifying. Add their treasures and secret arts to the mix, and their power soared.

With Qing Xiao and the others coordinating with them, Su Yi found himself at a disadvantage from the moment the battle began. He really was in a passive position. A dangerous one, even.

“Su Yi is finally getting suppressed!” Qi Nie, Xuan Zhong, and the other higher-ups sighed in relief. They felt as if a massive weight had been lifted from their shoulders.

Earlier, Su Yi had been far too terrifying. He had swept across the battlefield with invincible momentum, destroying whole swaths of enemies. None could suppress the sharpness of his edge. He was mighty enough to make his enemies give in to despair.

But things were different now. Working together, the five divine children were suppressing Su Yi. How could Qi Nie and the others

not

be excited?

In stark contrast, the distant onlookers were fraught with worry. Some of them even broke into curses.

“I would never have guessed that divine children from the God Realm would be so shameless! They’re fighting five against one. How could they?” roared Li Xiehu.

“I dare say with certainty that one-on-one, none of them would be a match for His Excellency the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign!” the Sword Fanatic said through gnashed teeth.

Most of the distant onlookers felt that this was unfair to Su Yi, and their hearts clenched with nervousness at his predicament. The divine children really were shameless!!

“When has true fairness ever existed in this world? Don’t forget that this Immortal Peach Assembly was planned for the express purpose of targeting His Excellency the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign. No number of dirty, despicable acts should surprise you,” someone sighed.

The world was a cruel place.

What fairness? What rules? In the end, the strong ate the weak. The winner was king, and the loser was an outlaw!

Please, don’t let anything happen to His Excellency…

someone prayed in silence.

There might be little fairness to be found in this world, but nonetheless, everyone carried a scale in their hearts to judge right from wrong. Even if they were too scared to give voice to their anger, the overwhelming majority of the onlookers didn’t want Su Yi to lose!

This was the reputation and prestige Wang Ye had left behind. Even now, it was carved deep into their hearts. In stark contrast, the behavior of the top factions of the Immortal Realms had only won them the crowd’s ire, disgust, loathing, and enmity!

For the sake of peace, they wanted to cede sixteen provinces to the demons of the Beyond. In doing so, they risked offending the entire world. For the sake of killing Su Yi, they took those connected to him hostage and threatened their lives. There were no depths to which they would not sink.

Their methods were despicable! Devoid of conscience!

People like them thought they could re-establish the Central Immortal Court and unify the Immortal Realm? How could the masses possibly accept their leadership?

“The esteemed divine son really is the most dazzling and mighty Immortal Sovereign of the divine Fu Family. No matter the era, his cultivation base would outshine all others of the same level in the Immortal Realm!” sighed Qi Nie.

He was speaking of the lavishly dressed man with golden hair. Just as Su Yi thought, this was Fu Tianyi.

What shameless flattery. It’s sickening,

Li Youxue, the emissary of the Beyond, thought to herself.

In a one-on-one duel, he wouldn’t even be able to beat the Great Martial Stage Su Yi. And if they were actually at the same level... hmph. Ridiculous.

“Die!”

The battle raged with increasing ferocity. The overcast landscape was thrown into turmoil. Fiery currents of destructive power swept outward. Fu Tianyi and the others’ offensive was increasingly fierce and terrifying, and Su Yi’s predicament was increasingly perilous in turn.

But then, out of nowhere, Su Yi suddenly laughed. “So, that’s all you’ve got? It’s really nothing much!”

The crowd’s minds went blank. Before they could respond…

Boom!

Su Yi, despite being thoroughly trapped from all sides, vanished.

The divine ability of the Tree of All Worlds——Breaking Barriers!

A moment later, Su Yi appeared behind Gongyang Yu and swung his sword.

Splurt!

It happened so suddenly, and it caught Gongyang Yu off guard. He noticed and tried to block, but his body was still ripped apart.

Yet when this slash was about to cleave open his soul, a treasure full of taboo power blocked it.

The Six Desires Divine Spear!

In the ruins of the Dragon Palace, Xi Ning shattered Gongyang Yu’s body, only for his soul to rely on this Epoch Treasure to escape. Now, history repeated itself.

This time, it was Su Yi who destroyed Gongyang Yu’s body.

Gongyang Yu let out a desperate cry.

The sight startled his companions. They would never have guessed that Su Yi, who they’d thoroughly locked onto and surrounded, would break free and injure Gongyang Yu in a flash!

This development left the distant onlookers flabbergasted. Their eyes widened.

Su Yi wasn’t disappointed that he’d failed to kill Gongyang Yu in a single slash. He just vanished once more, and this time, when he reappeared, he attacked Jin Zhuliu instead.

If he couldn’t take down his strongest enemies immediately, he could pick off the weaklings one by one, clearing the obstacles from his path.

“Shit!” Jin Zhuliu’s hair stood on end. He in no way dared to fight Su Yi head-on. Instead, he shattered a talisman and fled.

But to his astonishment, Su Yi changed course mid-charge and attacked Qing Xiao. There was no doubt about it; that was a feint! Su Yi’s true target was Qing Xiao all along!

Jin Zhuliu’s face reddened with shame and anger.

Clang!!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out. Qing Xiao was forced backward, blood pouring from the seven apertures of his face. Although he’d managed to block Su Yi’s attack, he was badly injured.

“You’re seeking death!” The woman in black was obviously enraged. Her eerie blue, dual-pupiled eyes flashed with strange light, and a mysterious glyph shaped like the 乂 character formed out of nowhere above Su Yi’s head and descended upon him.

This was her innate divine ability—the Soul-Executing Pupils!
