Chapter 2060 - The Three Secrets of the Hidden Summit, Buddhist Light Illuminates All

Su Yi stood there, hands behind his back as he quietly pondered the secrets of his newest breakthrough.

This realm is truly mystical and profound. I’m afraid I’ll need to take my time investigating it to really grasp all of its mysteries.

“Attack together! Capture him alive!” Heavenly God White Flame roared with seething murderous intent. The way he saw it, they’d joined forces to take Su Yi down once, so they could naturally do it a second time.

“Die!” The gods attacked together, each drawing their treasures as they encircled Su Yi.

But this time, Su Yi didn’t clash with them head-on. Instead, he shifted on his feet and vanished into thin air.

A moment later, he reappeared in front of the nearest Lesser God and waved his sleeve.

Bang!!

The Lesser God exploded, destroyed in both body and soul.

I’ve gotten stronger. Now, killing Lesser Gods like him is completely effortless. I needn’t concern myself with such people going forward,

thought Su Yi.

As he pondered, he took a step forward and vanished once more.

Bang!!

In another direction, two more Lesser Gods’ visions went black as their bodies were blasting to bits. Their piping-hot blood splattered the air.

In the last moments before their deaths, they didn’t even manage to grasp how Su Yi had attacked them!

But before Su Yi could move onto his next target, he was intercepted. Four Mid-Rank Gods had joined forces, each wielding their Epoch Treasures. Together, they sealed every possible escape route off.

“Hah!” A black-robed man with a flowing beard pressed down with both hands, and a bronze tripod cauldron descended from the heavens, bringing with it endless golden Dao Light. It shattered the skies with immense force.

Meanwhile, off to the other side, a woman in green waved a jade fan and attacked from afar. The jade fan stirred up surging purple flames that overturned the entire stretch of sky.

A bronze-skinned, valiant-looking middle-aged man bellowed, manifesting three heads and six arms as he unleashed a divine ability of the Yao Path.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

A young man in undyed cloth robes manipulated thirty-six divine swords, which combined to create a terrifying sword formation that descended from the heavens.

Multiple lethal threats blanketed heaven and earth, quick as lightning and unstoppably fearsome.

Su Yi’s gaze remained distant and profound even in the face of this encirclement, and he instantly took four steps through the battlefield.

When he took the first step, his sleeves billowed around him. He swung his arm through the air, and the bronze tripod cauldron was sent flying, its wails shaking the heavens.

The man in black coughed up blood and retreated in horror.

With his second step, Su Yi pressed his fingers into a makeshift sword and slashed. One thousand streaks of sword qi exploded into being with enough force to sever mountains and split oceans. The sword qi then ripped the purple flames filling the sky to shreds.

The woman in green shrieked and staggered backward. The jade fan in her grip was now covered in numerous gashes!

With his third step, Su Yi formed a hand seal and struck the air, like a deity beating a heavenly drum.

Boom!!

The three-headed, six-armed warrior flew back like a kite with its strings cut. Two of his arms were sliced to pieces, and his chest caved in.

With his fourth step, Su Yi charged straight ahead. Endless sword qi manifested visions of the cycle of reincarnation that swept through the air.

Boom!!!

The formation composed of thirty-six divine swords instantly split, and the swords scattered in all directions.

Even more terrifyingly, Su Yi struck with such force that his momentum instantly brought him before the formation’s wielder, the young man in plain cloth robes.

The young man was so startled that his hair stood on end, and he tried to dodge.

When Su Yi saw this, his eyes flashed with disdain. “Sword cultivators may not retreat!”

Bang!

He used the back of his hand like a knife, slashing open the young man’s protective Dao Light as if it were made of paper. Immediately afterward, the young man’s head flew through the air.

His eyes were wide with fury. He knew no peace even in death!

This entire series of events happened in almost a single breath, and the distant onlookers saw it all. Su Yi had almost immediately broken through four Mid-Rank Gods’ joint encirclement, and he’d domineeringly crushed and killed the young man in plain cloth, too!

“How terrifying!”

“He... He really seems to have changed.”

“But he isn’t a god! And he isn’t in the Great Profound Stage, either!”

...Off in the distance, the crowd watched in horror. Witnessing Su Yi’s abilities made their scalps go numb with fright.

Even the gods encircling Su Yi were startled.

Barely any time had passed since the battle began, but Su Yi had already killed three Lesser Gods, as well as one Mid-Rank God. This was completely different from before!

This instinctual perception and power of prediction is unique to the Hidden Summit Realm. Even on a chaotic, complicated battlefield, I can grasp my opponents’ abilities in their entirety. I could perhaps call this ability ‘Insight of the Heart!’

I perceive my opponents in their entirety, and all that information is reflected in my heart!

Even as Su Yi pondered, he fought on. He wanted to use this battle as an opportunity to grasp the profundities of the Hidden Summit.

Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!

Blood splattered the air, and agonized screams shook the heavens.

One god after another toppled, destroyed in both body and soul. This bloody scene made countless hearts quiver.

“Just... just what realm of cultivation is this?”

“It’s too terrifying!”

“‘Insurmountable’ gaps in cultivation and ‘inviolable’ taboos are nothing to him!"

“Since when can someone yet to achieve divinity kill Mid-Rank Gods?”

...Off in the distance, the divine children’s hearts quivered, and their faces paled. All of them were overcome with horror.

Even the mighty Mi Yeyun’s expression shifted, and he felt chills in his hands and feet.

Su Yi was sweeping through the gods, seemingly invincible! One god after another died a bloody death, perishing on the battlefield. Their roars shook the heavens, and blood fell like rain.

I broke through my limits and remade myself, crafting a unique realm all my own amidst the void. This is the Hidden Summit!

As the battle raged on, all manner of revelations flooded into Su Yi’s heart.

This realm has three mysteries: the Mystery of the Soul Avatar, the Mystery of the Flesh, and the Mystery of the Source of the Grand Dao. The three mysteries fuse into one amidst chaos, and the chaos is in turn like an egg. It gives rise to spiritual powers!

The Mystery of the Soul Avatar can perceive subtle differences in power, giving me the divine ability ‘the Insight of the Heart.’

The Mysteryof the Physical Body gives me self-perpetuating vitality, as if I’m eternal and indestructible. So long as a single drop of blood remains, I can rebuild myself and live on!

The Mystery of the Source of the Grand Dao are hidden amidst the Laws of the heavens. They transcend the Laws of the Great Realm, and although the Laws do not tolerate them, they can take my soul as their heaven and their earth, my body as their source, and fuse with my cultivation base. Then, I can refine all Daos toward my own ends!

These are the true secrets of the Hidden Summit Realm.

It’s just as I thought. The path I divined earlier is by far the best suited to me. I’ll use my Dao of the Sword as a furnace to fuse all Daos into one. I’ll accept them all, no exceptions. Only then can I merge every Dao in creation into my swordsmanship!

Su Yi’s heart was full of delight too great for words. He knew that he’d already stepped onto a truly unique, unprecedented path.

Wang Ye had never known of this path, and Li Fuyou never managed to take it. Even the gods and Buddhas were ignorant of it!

The mysteries and powers of the Hidden Summit meant that even without borrowing the power of any of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, Su Yi could use his sword alone to cleave open a path to divinity all his own!

My first incarnation must have left the Abundance of Heaven Chessboard and the Epoch Spark in the Tower of Ancient Evil to help me reach this level in this lifetime!

I can now fully confirm that none of my past lives could have stepped into this path, because... it’s only in this incarnation that I’ve actually grasped reincarnation. Only I had the opportunity to step into the Hidden Summit Realm.

As Su Yi’s thoughts raced, the battle raged on. It was violent and brutal to the extreme.

From an outsider’s perspective, Su Yi was leaping about the battlefield with unstoppable momentum, crushing everything in his path as if it were made of rotten wood. Lesser Gods couldn’t even block a single hit; he slew them with ease.

The Mid-Rank Gods joined forces and attacked with all their might, but they too were threatened and suppressed. One after another, they died in battle, their souls dispersed.

This was far too terrifying! He single-handedly faced an army of gods, and wherever his sword pointed, he cut them down like dogs!

The onlookers watched in wide-eyed shock, overcome with astonishment.

By now, all of the Lesser Gods had perished, and only seven Mid-Rank Gods clung bitterly to life.

Some of the gods had tried to flee, but Su Yi had slaughtered everyone who tried.

The distant divine children were overcome with terror and unease. All of them quivered with fright. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but that they’d just watched as every god who tried to flee was cut down. They feared that if they tried, they’d be cut down too.

Bang!

Yet another Mid-Rank God perished. A swath of sword qi slashed him to ribbons, and his blood splattered the air.

Why aren’t they here yet?

Heavenly God White Flame was frantic. Earlier, when he realized he couldn’t suppress Su Yi’s momentum on their own, he shattered a secret talisman and requested reinforcements.

The other Heavenly Gods of the Kingdom of Lasting Light were supposed to rush to his aid, but there was still no sign of them.

Heavenly God White Flame couldn’t help but sink into despair.

Boom!!!

Beneath the dome of heaven, Su Yi’s clothing billowed around him as he stirred up terrifying reincarnation sword intent and slew yet another Mid-rank God. Tyrannical sword qi ran rampant, forcing his nearby enemies back.

Su Yi, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to charge ahead and appear right in front of Heavenly God White Flame.

His hands formed a seal, and he pressed down on the air. His resplendent palm was imbued with tyrannical sword intent.

Heavenly God White Flame couldn’t breathe, and a chill coursed down his spine as he sensed an impending lethal threat bearing down on him.

His face paled, and his expression filled with despair.

I’m finished!

But it was then that Su Yi suddenly retreated explosively.

Boom!

A golden wheel shattered the ground where Su Yi had stood moments prior, and its terrifying power sent Heavenly God White Flame flying.

This sudden development left the entire crowd stunned.

A moment later, the firmament erupted with intense golden Buddhist radiance. Countless auspicious clouds surged forth, and golden lotuses fell from the heavens. Sanskrit chanting resounded though the heavens, dignified and grand.

The skies above the lake had been dyed red with the blood of fallen gods, but within moments, it transformed. Now, it was more like a sacred otherworldly pure land.

The crowd was stunned. All of them looked over.

A figure like a Buddha approached from afar, carried by an auspicious cloud. He was dressed in a monk’s robes, and his beard was snow white. Three thousand Buddhist kingdoms appeared, and with every step he took, countless golden lotuses scattered.

A grand, dignified, and terrifying aura emanated from him, then spread throughout heaven and earth.

Heavenly God White Flame was visibly overcome with excitement. “Buddhist Brother, you’re finally here!”

The crowd was instantly in uproar, as all of them recognized this new arrival. He was the only Fortune Realm Greater God among the Nine Great Heavenly Gods: Buddhist Venerate Ghama!

A terrifying existence with a deep connection to the Western Paradise Spirit Mountain, one of the greatest factions of the God Domain.

There was no doubt about it. Buddhist Venerate Ghama’s intervention had just saved Heavenly God White Flame’s life!

An early-stage Fortune Realm Mid-Rank God. He refined a first-level Epoch Law, and his soul avatar has reached perfection. His every movement and gesture is accompanied by strange phenomena of heaven and earth... a wondrous effect made possible only by the Thirty-Six Manifestations Lotus Embryo Sutra, the secret divine legacy of the Western Paradise Spirit Mountain. It seems this old bald donkey is no small figure of the Western Paradise Spirit Mountain!

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose. He had Li Fuyou’s memories and experiences, and he instantly guessed the background of the top Heavenly God.

A moment later, Su Yi noticed that after Divine Venerate Ghama appeared, numerous other terrifying presences appeared on all sides, one after another.

All of them came from different directions!
