Chapter 1960: Six Levels and the Supreme

Su Yi walked alone through heaven and earth, but he put immense pressure on Huo Jianfeng and his allies.

Even Huo Jianfeng couldn’t help but frown, and there was no disguising his caution.

But he had reason to be confident too, so he wasn’t

afraid.

“Su Yi, did you know…” said Huo Jianfeng in a booming voice. He obviously had something he wanted to discuss.

But before he could finish his sentence, Su Yi laughed and interrupted him. “Cut the chatter. Let’s fight to the death!”

Boom!

His tall, upright figure charged ahead like a beam of flowing light, crossing tens of thousands of feet in a flash. His sleeves billowed around him as sword qi filled the air and swept forth.

Huo Jianfeng and his divine emissaries’ expressions shifted. They’d never even considered the possibility that Su Yi would be so domineering. He’d attacked without even giving them a chance to talk!

Fortunately for them, Huo Jianfeng was already on guard. In the face of this sudden attack, he directly took out a bronze treasure tower.

Boom!

The bronze treasure tower took to the sky. Endless golden Dao Light swept forth, blocking the sword qi filling the sky with a deafening impact.

Sword qi erupted with terrifying power, making Huo Jianfeng stagger backward. He almost lost control over the bronze treasure tower.

Huo Jianfeng inwardly exclaimed,

Don’t tell me that guy has already reached the demigod level of strength?

But before he could give the matter any further thought, Su Yi threw another punch and charged with unparalleled divine valiance and all-encompassing tyrannical momentum.

Huo Jianfeng was instantly sent flying, bronze treasure tower and all. Blood spurted from his mouth.

Meanwhile, Su Yi seized the opportunity to charge directly in, like a tiger rushing a flock of sheep. With a single gesture, he shattered several divine emissaries’ bodies.

Fresh blood splattered, and desperate cries shook the heavens.

Most of the divine emissaries were Great Profound Stage experts, powerhouses at the very pinnacle of the Immortal Dao.

But against Su Yi, they were as ineffectual as clay chickens and porcelain dogs. They couldn’t even fight back. All of them were slaughtered in the blink of an eye!

Huo Jianfeng’s eyes bulged, and he practically went mad with fury. Even if you’d hit him over the head, he would never have guessed that his forces would crumble as soon as the battle began!

“Su Yi!!!” Huo Jianfeng was overcome with anger. He bellowed, “You…!”

Boom!

Just like last time, Huo Jianfeng never managed to finish his sentence. Su Yi leaped through the air, then strode toward him. His gait seemed unhurried, but in truth, it was faster than teleportation.

Huo Jianfeng had been overcome with fury moments prior, but when he saw this, he turned and ran.

Clang!!!

A streak of sword qi flew through the air, sweeping across that bronze treasure tower and making the Epoch Treasure buzz and shake. The backlash was so painful that Huo Jianfeng almost coughed up blood.

His hands formed seals, and his entire body erupted with appalling divine radiance. Shockingly, he vanished into thin air.

The very moment he disappeared, the sword qi filling the air descended explosively, enveloping the place in which Huo Jianfeng had stood completely.

There was no doubt about it. If Huo Jianfeng hadn’t decisively chosen to retreat, he’d have been eradicated!

Su Yi furrowed his brow and sighed. “He sure fled quickly.”

The Divine Replenishment Furnace obsequiously started gathering up the spoils. Su Yi, meanwhile, sank into thought.

It seems I need to change my strategy. Using myself as bait will only scare the fish away.

In that case… how about I change my appearance and hide my trail? I can play assassin and catch people off guard.

Within moments, his appearance had changed completely, and his aura transformed, fusing completely into his surroundings. When he stood there, unmoving, even someone close at hand would struggle to detect him.

But Su Yi knew that his enemies were all immensely capable. They surely had numerous means of circumventing this.

Ultimately, when an assassin carried out his work, absolute killing power was of the utmost importance!

……

“Bastard!” Huo Jianfeng’s face was ashen, and his eyes blazed with hatred. “When I become a god, I’ll blast you to bits!”

“What happened?” The stick-thin monk, Jia Yun, approached from afar.

Huo Jianfeng instantly cleared his head and said, “Nothing much. I ran into Su Yi just now.”

After hearing the full story, Jia Yun didn’t laugh at him. On the contrary, he looked impressed. “Doesn’t that mean that Su Yi has demigod-level power in the Great Unity Stage?”

“That’s most likely the case.” Huo Jianfeng nodded.

Jia Yun fell briefly silent, then smiled. “No need for impatience. The show has only just begun. For now, let him act wantonly. Once we’ve achieved divinity, the situation will turn on its head. Su Yi will be like a rat on the streets; all who see him shall try to exterminate him.”

Huo Jianfeng’s eyes flashed. “It seems you’re quite confident, Buddhist Brother. Have you perhaps discovered a first-level chance at divinity?”

“Chances at divinity” referred to Epoch Fragments.

Epoch Fragments contained different Epoch Laws and came in varying qualities. Thus, they all represented different chances at divinity.

In the God Domain, there was a strict ranking system for Epoch Fragments: six levels and the supreme.

The six levels referred to the ranks assigned to Epoch Fragments based on quality. Sixth was the lousiest, while first was the greatest.

Those with sixth to fourth-level Epoch Fragments had limited accomplishments. After condensing their Godheads, they lived out the rest of their lives as Lesser Gods, unable to break through and become Mid-Rank Gods.

Third and second-level Epoch Fragments were different. Such deities produced Godheads with much greater latent talent, and they could attempt to prove their Daos and become Mid-Rank Gods.

First-level Epoch Fragments were extremely rare, but the resulting Godheads bequeathed enough potential to become a Greater God one day!

Even in the God Domain, first-level Epoch Fragments were incomparably rare, and they were monopolized by the greatest and most ancient of orthodoxies.

In truth, even sixth-level Epoch Fragments, the most ordinary of all, were a stroke of good fortune the vast majority of the God Domain’s cultivators could only dream of.

But first-level Epoch Fragments weren’t the limit. Supreme Epoch Fragments existed above them.

Supreme Epoch Fragments were entirely unique. No other similar Epoch Fragments existed. The Epoch Fragments they contained were similarly unique and unparalleled.

Even in the God Domain, they were like legends. They could only be happened upon by chance, not sought.

Those who fused with supreme Epoch Fragments condensed Godheads with potential far beyond other people. They had hope of one day proving their Daos and becoming Master Gods!

Even in the God Domain, it had been a long, long time since a supreme Epoch Fragment had appeared in the God Domain. Only the greatest of orthodoxies had them in their treasuries.

But their numbers were extremely limited. Ordinarily, they were reserved for those born blessed with good fortune, Heaven’s Chosen!

Not even unparalleled divine children were qualified to obtain them.

Jia Yun smiled. “According to the Dipankara Buddha, supreme Epoch Fragments are highly likely to appear in the Immortal Realm’s Epoch Battlefield, and not just one, either.”

Huo Jianfeng’s eyes flashed. “That’s actually true? Some of my sect elders also predict that no less than three supreme Epoch Fragments will appear with the Path of Divinity.”

“That’s why this opportunity has drawn so many gods’ attention, and why they’ve decided to get personally involved.” Jia Yun nodded.

This opportunity at divinity had long since drawn the attention of the God Domain’s top sects. They didn’t just want to seize this opportunity to destroy Su Yi; they wanted to seize this good fortune for their own factions.

And of the available good fortune, it was the supreme Epoch Fragments that drew the most attention!

Only people from the God Domain understood what supreme Epoch Fragments represented. Acquiring one was equivalent to acquiring a chance to prove your Dao and become a Master God!

And what Master God wasn’t a pillar of a top faction of the God Domain? A single stamp of their feet, and the other gods trembled!

𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It was precisely because these opportunities were so rare and precious that the gods had begun their preparations in the Immortal Realm so far in advance.

Thousands upon thousands of years of planning, all for today!

“Does that mean you’ve already uncovered leads regarding the supreme Epoch Fragments, Buddhist Brother?” probed Huo Jianfeng.

Jia Yun’s gaze was rife with meaning. “Buddhists pay particular attention to the workings of fate. Should fate will it, even an inadvertent turn of the head will lead us toward good fortune. If it is not meant to be, trying will be as useless as hunting for fish in the treetops, and all of our efforts will be in vain.”

Huo Jianfeng snorted coldly. “Seeking the Grand Dao requires striving. It’s about exerting your will and overcoming the heavens. Buddhist Brother, I’m afraid… your words come across as rather empty and hypocritical.”

Jia Yun burst into laughter. “Very well, I won’t lie to you. With the means at our disposal, it’ll be all but impossible to locate supreme Epoch Fragments anytime soon, but with the gods’ help, it’ll be a completely different story!”

Huo Jianfeng’s heart shook. “Have the gods of the Western Paradise’s Spirit Mountain already condensed their avatars of will and descended into the Epoch Battlefield?”

Jia Yun’s gaze was inscrutable. “Surely the experts of the Three Purities Daoist Court have done the same?”

Huo Jianfeng was just about to say something when he heard a blast in the distance, and a dazzling streak of silver radiance tore through the sky, flashing with holy, mysterious radiance. Numerous experts immediately gave chase.

“An Epoch Fragment!” Huo Jianfeng’s eyes lit up.

“Looks like it’s at least third-level!” Jia Yun’s eyes flashed.

The two unparalleled divine children immediately joined the chase.

……

Time slipped by. The experts in the Epoch Battlefield included no small number of people with heaven-defying luck. Quite a few had successfully found Epoch Fragments already.

But very, very few had truly managed to make them their own.

Boom!

In a stretch of wilderness, a purple-robed old man was locked in a fierce struggle against an Epoch Fragment.

The fragment was like a bundle of silver flames, as dazzling as the sun. The aura emanating from it was incomparably tyrannical. It had already burnt the old man’s eyebrows off, and his skin was singed black. His screams echoed through the air.

But he didn’t give up. On the contrary, he disregarded the agony and fought with all his might.

This was a chance at divinity. Who’d give it up lightly?

But in the end, a terrifying scene followed. The Epoch Fragment erupted with endless divine flames, instantly burning the purple-robed man to ash.

Destroyed, body and soul!

He was a peak Great Profound Stage expert, yet now, nothing was left of him, not even a corpse.

The Epoch Fragment, meanwhile, shot through the sky and vanished.

Similar scenes unfolded elsewhere, too.

Opportunities to achieve divinity were enough to drive people mad with desire, but they were simultaneously full of lethal peril!

Two days later.

Su Yi appeared by the shore of what looked like a river of chaos power. Its “waters” were turbid, and they stirred up droplets of mottled chaos.

The wind blew over the river, rustling his clothes.

But his attention was focused on the riverbed.

Earlier, he’d noticed an Epoch Fragment shooting through the distant skies, erupting with resplendent divine radiance. Thus, he’d rushed over. In the end, he confirmed that it had fallen into the riverbed!
