Chapter 2437 - When Legends Enter Reality

Progenitor Huan Yan used the Water Moon Flower Mirror to make Luo Yao and the others attack Su Yi.

Progenitor Huang Qi used the Blood Void Dagger Axe to manifest a cage of divine chains around Su Yi, trapping him inside.

And Old Man Heart Demon used Phoenix Song to attack Su Yi’s heart.

All three attacks happened practically simultaneously, so quick that it was unbelievable. It couldn’t have been any more terrifying!

The three attacks targeted Su Yi’s body, heart, and soul with seamless coordination!

There was no denying that the Three Demon Progenitors’ joint attack had each of their abilities on full display.

There was no need to even question it: any Nine-Tribulation Master God would have been doomed, without the slightest suspense!

Kaboom——!

Meanwhile, overhead, the Well of Ancient Chaos blocked the Tribulation of the Five Witherings. The entire stretch of sky was plunged into chaos and destruction.

“Die——!” Luo Yao, Wen Qingfeng, and the others’ awarenesses were muddled. Their eyes reddened, and they attacked Su Yi with ruthless force.

Countless divine chains intertwined throughout the surrounding area, sealing off the sky on all sides. There was nowhere to run.

And within the land of Su Yi’s heart, memories of Yi Daoxuan and Yu Xinyao washed over him. Soon, they’d drown his heart completely.

A predicament like this would have been enough to make anyone give in to despair.

This went beyond slowed reactions. Even if Su Yi managed to retain his mental clarity, he could suffer a lethal blow at any moment!

Su Yi stood there, unmoving.

Given his current cultivation base, he’d have been no match for any one of the progenitors in a one-on-one duel, let alone all three of them.

But that didn’t mean he was unprepared. On the contrary, the moment he left Dao-Seeking City, he’d been ready to face the most dangerous of threats!

Thus, when the three progenitors joined forces to attack him, he just whispered to himself, “Then let’s see... just how strong you really were back then.”

As these words echoed through his heart, a yellowed page silently burned within the sword sheath.

“Then open your eyes wide and look carefully,” said his first incarnation’s heart devil.

Boom!

The rusted sheath shook. A beam of light shot out of it, then transformed into an indistinct, ethereal figure.

The entire Boundless Battlefield shook!

The ancient variant species of its various forbidden zones and the strange lifeforms panicked, their whole bodies going limp as they toppled to the ground, unconscious.

The armies of Outsider Celestial Demons stationed throughout different regions felt as if they’d been struck by lightning. They lost control of their hearts and bodies as formless terror bore down on them.

In their ears, it seemed as if the sky were about to collapse out of sheer fright, and the earth quivered in terror.

The skies were collapsing!

The mountains and rivers were swaying!

It was like the descent of the apocalypse, soon to destroy the entire Boundless Battlefield!

All of the demons were stunned.

What... What’s happening?

The Tribulation of the Five Witherings shook, then split and collapsed.

And a shout emanated from the Well of Turbulent Daos, which had been holding the tribulation back prior to this. “What kind of aura is that!?”

The voice was full of undisguisable panic and dread.

Before the voice had even finished echoing through the air, the Well of Turbulent Daos broke through space and fled the area.

At least, it tried to. Before it got far, formless majesty enveloped it, preventing it from advancing any further!

Although it was formless and invisible, that majestic aura was full of unsurpassed power. What Tribulation of the Five Elements? What Well of Turbulent Daos? Both were enveloped completely!

And this was just the result of the aura that the indistinct figure emanated as he appeared!

Su Yi was unwittingly stunned.

That indistinct figure was his first incarnation! That mysterious and transcendent swordsman.

Way back in the Human Realm, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the River of Destiny in the Sword of the Nine Hells. It was there that he saw that swordsman standing atop it.

It was then that the swordsman granted him the taboo Dao of Profound Ruin, a power capable of severing karma and restricting fate!

Now, countless years later, that swordsman had appeared before him once more! Although he was just an incomparably indistinct figure, how could Su Yi not recognize him?

Of course, Su Yi wasn’t surprised to see him.This was one of the cards he’d prepared for this battle. With the heart devil’s help, he was using a page of the Book of Destiny to manifest his legendary first incarnation in the real world!

It was just that Su Yi would never have guessed that the mere aura of this manifestation of his first incarnation would be so unbelievably powerful!

All of this took a long time to describe, but it happened quickly. As soon as his first incarnation’s book soul manifested, he turned around.

Progenitor Huan Yan’s Water Moon Flower Mirror was instantly suppressed. Its wails shook the heavens, and countless cracks formed on the mirror’s surface.

The countless radiant moons manifested of its power shattered and collapsed.

Demon Progenitor Huan Yan shrieked, then retreated explosively, her ethereal figure trembling uncontrollably as she gazed at the swordsman in disbelief.

Luo Yao and the others charging at Su Yi were sent flying backward. All of them were forced to the ground.

When the Water Moon Flower Mirror broke, they regained their mental clarity. Their faces paled, and their hearts quivered with lingering terror.

But before they could give the matter any further thought...

Boom!

The countless blood-red divine chains exploded.

Progenitor Huang Qi grunted in agony, then staggered backward and almost fell. Just like Progenitor Huan Yan, his face was full of astonishment and disbelief.

Boom!

Before the Thousand Deaths Mountains, Old Man Heart Demon’s amiable smile froze in place, and his hair stood on end.

𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He instantly found himself under formless pressure. Phoenix Song trembled violently in his grip, thoroughly suppressed. It no longer heeded him.

“Who is that guy!?” Old Man Heart Demon was shocked and furious. “Don’t tell me he’s the artifact spirit in that rusted sword sheath? Impossible! How could a mere artifact spirit be so terrifying?”

The swordsman was just an indistinct figure, yet as soon as he’d appeared, his aura had suppressed the entire battlefield, breaking the three progenitors’ joint attack!

How high of a cultivation base did you need to pull that off?

Meanwhile, as Phoenix Song was suppressed, the power severely impacting Su Yi’s heart vanished.

Heaven and earth were deathly silent. Invisible pressure permeated the air.

After appearing, that ethereal figure stood there. Even in stillness, he was like a ruler presiding over all Daos, with innate, mysterious, and transcendent majesty.

When he raised his hand and grabbed...

Clang!

Phoenix Song broke free of Old Man Heart Demon’s grip and appeared before Su Yi.

Old Man Heart Demon gasped, clearly stricken.

“Sir, are you perhaps an Eternal from the River of Destiny?” Progenitor Huan Yan couldn’t help but ask.

The swordsman was just too terrifying. Just looking at him made her feel like an ant gazing upon a divine dragon. She felt more paltry and insignificant than ever before.

“An Eternal?” The swordsman shook his head, but he looked as if he disdained to say any more on the matter.

He turned to look at Su Yi. “How do you feel?”

Su Yi felt dazed, but he knew that the one speaking to him wasn’t really his first incarnation, but rather, his first incarnation’s heart devil!

It was much like how the “Liuxiang Hen” manifested of the Book of Legends was actually under the handsome young man’s control.

“He’s strong. Stronger than someone of my level can even imagine,” said Su Yi. He meant it, too.

“I said it earlier: beg me, and you’d have no need for the Book of Legends. I could help you sweep through every enemy in your path,” his first incarnation’s heart demon said casually. “But it’s not too late if you believe me now.”

“Retreat! Hurry!” roared Progenitor Huang Qi.

He turned to flee; the disparity in strength was just too enormous.

In the face of that mysterious swordsman, he felt only terror. He couldn’t work up even the slightest thought of resistance!

“You’re no more than a Celestial Demon that met with a tribulation and fell from the River of Destiny, that’s all, yet you really think you can escape me?” The first incarnation’s heart devil laughed dryly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed.

Boom!

As terrifying of an existence as Progenitor Huang Qi was, he now found himself held aloft like a little chicken and pulled helplessly toward the swordsman.

“No——!” Progenitor Huang Qi cried out in shock and horror. He struggled like mad, but it was useless.

Su Yi’s “first incarnation” shifted his fingers.

The crowd watched in astonishment as Progenitor Huang Qi was crushed like an ant, his body shattered. His remains scattered like a rain of light and dissipated.

He was destroyed in both body and soul!

Only a blood-red crystal remained.

Just like that, a progenitor of the Outsider Celestial Demons, someone capable of striking terror into the hearts of any Nine-Tribulation Master God, had been eradicated!

Luo Yao and the others felt their scalps go numb with fright. Their eyes widened.

Just how strong would someone have to be to crush Progenitor Huang Qi like an ant?

Progenitor Huan Ting’s delicate frame stiffened. This wasn’t sympathy for her fallen companion, but rather, visceral helplessness and dread!

“That blood-red crystal is that fallen Celestial Demon’s Eternal Source. Although its Eternal Laws have long since been frittered away, it’s still an incomparably precious Undying Treasure.” Su Yi’s “first incarnation” waved his sleeves, and the crystal that appeared where Progenitor Huang Qi had fallen landed in front of Su Yi.

Then, Su Yi’s “first incarnation” turned to look at Progenitor Huan Yan. “Interesting. That guy was the body of a fallen Celestial Demon of the River of Destiny, while

you

are its soul.”

Progenitor Huan Yan had a strong sense of foreboding. Her whole body quivered, and in the end, it seemed she couldn’t take it. Her beautiful face paled, and she said, “I’m willing to submit and make a soul contract with you. I’ll do whatever you command, Senior!”

Everyone gasped. This was a progenitor of the Outsider Celestial Demons, but she hadn’t just chosen to lower her head. She was even willing to become a servant if it meant living on!

Who’d have believed it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?

“This is an irreconcilable enmity. The only way to settle it is with your death,” said the first incarnation. “Besides, the soul of a fallen Celestial Demon is in no way worthy of serving me.”

He snapped his fingers, and...

Bang!

Before the onlookers even knew what was happening, her body shattered into countless pieces, scattering into soul fragments. Soon, all of them vanished without a trace.

Only a glittering crystal remained.

There was no doubt about it. This was Progenitor Huan Yan’s Eternal Source!

It was just that its Eternal Laws had long been frittered away completely, just as they’d been in Huang Qi’s Eternal Source.

As of now, a second Progenitor-Level Celestial Demon had perished!!

Luo Yao, Wen Qingfeng, and the others exchanged glances. Waves of emotion coursed through their hearts.

On their way to the Thousand Deaths Mountains, they’d anticipated that Su Yi’s hidden card would be powerful. After all, it had to be strong if it was to contend with the three Progenitor-Level Celestial Demons.

Still, they hadn’t guessed it would be so unbelievable. It completely overturned their imagination!

Now, Old Man Heart Demon was the only Progenitor-Level Outsider Celestial Demon left.

He saw it all, but against expectations, as dark as his expression was, he remained calm.

He didn’t seem the least bit scared.
