Chapter 2102 - Too Brutal to Watch

A sun and moon rose into the air, erupting with terrifying power of the Grand Dao. It bore down on Heaven’s End, shaking the entire mountain. A similarly taboo power surged from the base of the mountain, neutralizing the impact.

The rumbling and booming shook the sky. The divine majesty Celestial Venerate Brilliant Universe had on display shook even the gods.

Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning nodded. As he sat there, spear in hand, he looked like a promising, talented youth.

“That’s right. If you still have some tactics left, why hide them?”

He raised his crimson spear, then suddenly swung it downwards.

Boom!

Purple lightning came crashing down from the dome of heaven like a raging downpour. It slammed into the mountain, scattering electric sparks.

Heaven’s End was thrown into upheaval, and the power of the Laws covering its slopes churned without end.

“Go!” Celestial Venerate Burning Wind bellowed, then flung a white done divine seal. When it crashed into Heaven’s End, the entire stretch of sky exploded, and a current of destructive power swept outward.

The gods watching from throughout the surroundings were horrified. They immediately fled further away for fear of getting swept into it.

This was the power of a Master God. If struck, anyone beneath that level would suffer badly, and that was if they even survived!

Celestial Venerates Brilliant Universe, Purple Lightning, and Burning Wind attacked in rapid succession. All of Heaven’s End Divine Mountain was completely covered in a terrifying current of destructive power. The mountain shook violently and swayed as if about to topple.

Meanwhile, on the mountaintop, Su Yi rose to his feet, not the least bit hurried or panicked. Only now did he look directly at the Celestial Venerates.

“If you can destroy this mountain, I wouldn’t mind showing you my trump cards,” Su Yi said calmly.

With that, he raised his right hand into the air, then lowered his palm.

Boom!!

Heaven’s End shook, erupting with the all-encompassing light of the Laws. They were who-knew-how-many times stronger than before.

Several streaks of that divine radiance transformed into radiant sword qi and shot toward the three Celestial Venerates.

Bang!!

A muffled impact rang out. The hovering sun and moon shook violently on impact.

Celestial Venerate Brilliant Universe’s expression shifted. He exerted his will, called back the sun and moon, and moved further away.

At the same time, Celestial Venerates Purple Lightning and Burning Wind were forced back, their faces alternating white and green.

Gasps arose on all sides. Everyone was startled.

“Just as I thought. You’re secretly controlling the power of Heaven’s End,” said Celestial Venerate Bright Universe. His voice boomed throughout the area. “Unfortunately for you, destroying the mountain’s power of the Laws is well within the bounds of possibility.”

Su Yi raised his jug of wine and laughed dryly. “Starting from when you first appeared, you’ve repeatedly probed for information. It seems you’re terrified that the slightest incaution will lead to disaster.”

He swept his gaze across the Celestial Venerates. “Am I... really that terrifying?”

The implied mockery was readily apparent.

The Seven Great Celestial Venerates’ expressions darkened, but they couldn’t deny it.

“Fellow Daoist, this is the Path of the Ancient Gods. The power of reincarnation erased those foolish enough to look down on you a long time ago,” sighed Celestial Venerate Bright Universe. “Even though you’ve yet to become a god, and even though you’re as weak as could be, and even though all seven of us have joined forces to surround you, we in no way dare to look down on you.

“Our caution might seem undignified, but the way we see it, this is the wisest choice we could make if we wish to defeat you.”

He said this forthrightly and openly, his voice booming throughout heaven and earth.

The distant onlookers couldn’t help but gasp. How terrifying were the Seven Great Celestial Venerates? Here in the Ancient God Domain, they were no different from hegemons.

They were up against a young man yet to even become a god, and they’d even joined forces. Who could have imagined that they still wouldn’t dare to be the least bit complacent?

The thought that, not long ago, they’d been clamoring for Su Yi to admit defeat and come quietly made them break out in cold sweats.

“Still, Fellow Daoist, I’m sure you can’t deny that we’ve got you surrounded, and that there’s no way for you to break through our encirclement. If you could escape, why maintain this stalemate all this time?” Celestial Venerate Bright Universe said calmly.

The crowd’s eyes flashed.

He’s right. He’s completely surrounded. If he were confident that he could break free, why would he still be turtled up on the mountain?

“And you can’t deny that with your strength, you cannot possibly be a match for us. Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to resort to borrowing the power of the Laws of Heaven’s End.”

Celestial Venerate Bright Universe had only just said this when he fixed his intense, inscrutable gaze on Su Yi. “Now we’ll just have to see how strong these hidden cards of yours are, Fellow Daoist.”

Boom!

He waved his sleeves through the air, and the sun and moon suddenly melted together, forming a searingly bright, resplendent divine disc.

The disc revolved like a millstone grinding away the sky as it descended upon the mountain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The divine disc’s power was incomparably strange and terrifying. It was actually grinding away the Laws covering Heaven’s End Divine Mountain, one layer at a time!

Meanwhile, Celestial Venerate Bright Universe said with dignity, “Activate the God-Smiting Sword Formation!”

“Got it!”

Celestial Venerates Fiery Abyss, Profound Frost, Jade Crane, and Tyrant Cloud simultaneously drew their taboo weapons: the Fire God-Trapping Sword, the Profound Water Divine Prison Sword, the Qingyi Godslayer Sword, and the Golden Divine Execution Sword.

When the four divine swords took to the skies, their hums resounded throughout heaven and earth and manifested an airtight, terrifying sword formation that descended from the heavens.

Boom!

The entire Plains of Divine Severing quivered, and countless startling rifts tore open beneath the dome of heaven.

That terrifying sword force left every last spectating god overcome with astonishment. All of them moved further away.

These four taboo killer weapons had maintained order in the Ancient God Domain for a long, long time. With the swords in place, no god had dared to defy the rules. How could their strength possibly be ordinary?

Especially now, when all four of them combined to create a sword formation, and one powered by four Master Gods at that. The resulting terrifying power shook the entire Ancient God Domain, causing widespread panic.

The inhabitants of the Ancient God Domain could clearly see the taboo sword light surging beneath the firmament, tearing open the curtain of heaven. It was like the descent of the apocalypse! Everyone was overcome with astonishment; countless beings beneath the heavens quivered in fright!

And when this sword formation cleaved into Heaven’s End, an astonishing scene appeared——

Countless streaks of sword qi descended, cleaving open countless rifts in the Laws blanketing the mountain. The entire stretch of time and space seemed to explode, contort, and descend into disarray. All of creation dimmed and withered.

Su Yi wasn’t at all passive throughout this process. He was pouring all his strength into the Epoch Spark and directing the Laws of Heaven’s End against this onslaught.

Still, beneath the combined attacks of the Seven Great Celestial Venerates and the four taboo divine swords, the Laws of Heaven’s End Divine Mountain continuously broke and collapsed!

“Die!” The Seven Great Celestial Venerates attacked with all their might, effortlessly overturning heaven and earth. It was a terrifying scene, like the collapse of all Daos.

The God-Smiting Sword Formation was particularly terrifying. A dense downpour of sword qi cleaved into the mountain. It could have easily dealt even a Master God a lethal blow. And within just a few blinks of an eye, the entirety of Heaven’s End Divine Mountain was left riddled with holes!

The gods spectating in the distance were completely dumbstruck. A battle of this level was simply beyond imagination. It had been far, far too long since anyone had witnessed such an unparalleled grand battle.

Even just watching from a distance left them feeling almost suffocated!

“Haha, now’s our chance!” Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning burst into laughter, then blurred into a beam of light, seizing an opportune moment to slip between a gap in the Laws and charge onto the mountain!

Master Gods were terrifyingly fast. Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning charged at Su Yi practically the moment he reached the slopes.

From beginning to end, Su Yi just stood on the ritual grounds on the peak, not moving in the slightest, even now. It seemed he couldn’t possibly respond in time.

It was only when Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning drew near that he instinctively turned his head.

His reaction was too slow!

Several of the Celestial Venerates’ eyes lit up with excitement.

There’s no way that kid will escape disaster this time!!

But it was then that Celestial Venerate Bright Universe visibly lost his cool and cried out, “Be careful——!”

He’d only just said this when a heaven-shaking explosion emanated from the mountaintop. A swath of the piercingly bright power of the Laws of the natural order erupted from beneath Su Yi’s feet, cleaving ruthlessly into Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning.

Bang!!

Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning’s smile froze in place. A startling, bloody gash ripped open on his body, almost cutting him in two!

He was sent flying backward on impact, crying out in agony.

The crowd was stunned.

This sudden, unexpected development caught them completely off guard. They could never have anticipated this.

Celestial Venerate Bright Universe’s warning to “be careful” still echoed throughout heaven and earth. It was obvious how quickly everything had happened just now.

Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning had only just fought his way onto the slopes of Heaven’s End when he was forced back, badly injured!

“Hurry back!” Celestial Venerate Bright Universe bellowed.

Meanwhile, Su Yi had begun his follow-up attack. A Celestial Venerate had thrown himself into his net. How could he possibly let him escape so easily?

Boom!

No one was sure when it had gotten there, but the Epoch Spark now floated over Su Yi’s palm. When Su Yi poured his strength into it, a strange and mysterious diagram appeared over the ritual grounds on the mountaintop. It was like the world of samsara, complete with the cycle of the six paths, the rising and falling of the Sea of Bitterness, flowers blooming on the Far Shore, and other mysterious, taboo visions.

This wasn’t Su Yi using his power of reincarnation. Rather, this was a manifestation of the Laws covering the ritual grounds to begin with!

When Su Yi attacked, the power of reincarnation surged forth, descending upon Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning.

Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning had a powerful premonition of an impending crisis, and he dared not hesitate. He immediately fought back with everything he had, risking it all.

“Break!” Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning threw back his head and roared, his qi rumbling and booming within him. An endless rain of the light of the Grand Dao poured down around him, manifesting a world of churning violet electricity.

This was the manifestation of his powers of the Grand Dao, the forbidden technique he kept in reserve. Now, he poured everything he had into it, holding nothing back in the slightest.

Crunch!

When the Laws of reincarnation came crashing down, the world of purple lightning shook violently, then tore open in numerous places.

Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning visibly panicked, then turned and fled like mad. The world of electricity collapsed behind him, and the power of reincarnation tore open countless rifts in the sky as it swept toward him.

Meanwhile, the other six Celestial Venerates attacked with all their might, relentlessly assailing Heaven’s End Divine Mountain. They were trying to hold Su Yi back long enough to save Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning.

There was no denying that Celestial Venerate Purple Lightning was terrifyingly strong. Even though Su Yi relentlessly directed the Laws of the natural order to attack him, he ultimately failed to stop the Celestial Venerate from fleeing.

In the blink of an eye, the latter broke free and made it to safety. But when the other six Celestial Venerates saw him clearly, they couldn’t help but gasp.

It was just too brutal!

His long hair was scorched, his robes were in tatters, and his flesh was torn in countless places. Streams of blood gushed from his wounds, and no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t find so much as an inch of intact skin.

He quivered and convulsed, giving others the impression that his body might well fall apart at a moment’s notice.

It was so brutal that it hurt to even look at him.
