Chapter 2623 - Disdaining to Utter Even a Word, He Grips His Sword and Attacks

Everyone in the hall gazed at the little girl. She looked like a child, but she was seated on a throne. Its sheer enormity only made her look all the smaller and frailer.

Still, none would dare to underestimate this spirit of the natural order from the River of Destiny.

When they looked over, some of the gathered experts couldn’t disguise their dread.

“If he manages to survive this time, it’ll prove just one thing,” said the little girl, her gaze cold and her eyes like twin portals to hell. “That he already has power sufficient to contend with Eternals. Do you... really think that’s possible?”

The crowd was stunned. Then, they burst into laughter.

The girl’s meaning was simple. Unless Su Yi was strong enough to fight true Eternals, he would die today beyond a doubt.

And that was surely impossible, as Eternals couldn’t exist in the present-day God Domain!

“I just hope that you understand. Either Su Yi dies today, or we do.” The girl swept her cold gaze across the room. “There’s no way out and no room for compromise!”

Everyone’s heart was solemn. Their expressions shifted.

“She’s right,” Taishu Gong, the Celestial Polarity Great Sovereign, said solemnly. “The higher-ups backing both alliances have discussed the matter already. Those who flee from battle or attempt to compromise with the enemy shall be executed!”

His eyes flashed with sharp divine radiance as he scanned the crowd. “Without such determination, how can we even speak of defeating Su Yi?”

His voice boomed throughout the hall. Everyone fell silent beneath the crushing pressure.

“Of course, we’ve made ample preparations, and we have numerous cards up our sleeves. We have an advantage, both in terms of location and in terms of numbers. So long as we act in accordance with our plans, I’m completely confident that we can cut Su Yi down here on Borderless Mountain!” Taishu Gong said slowly.

This light, airy declaration alleviated much of the oppressive atmosphere.

The crowd conversed, and as they recalled all the cards they’d prepared, their hearts filled with confidence.

It was then that startled cries emanated from outside the hall, followed by a clamor of voices rising and falling in waves.

Everyone in the hall instantly realized what this meant. Su Yi had arrived!

...

Meanwhile, outside the Borderless Mountain, a white cloud drifted over from afar. A man in blue robes stood atop it, a gourd of wine dangling from his waist. He held his hands behind his back.

This was none other than Su Yi!

“Sword Venerate Su!”

The crowd was in uproar. Countless eyes looked over.

“I just knew that Sword Venerate Su wouldn’t chicken out!”

Some called out excitedly, their eyes full of reverence. In the present-day God Domain, Su Yi’s reputation was as resplendent as the midday sun. There were naturally countless experts who admired him.

Others clucked their tongues and said, “Sword Venerate Su really did come all on his own, huh...?”

Su Yi rode in on a cloud, all alone, and he was about to face the two great alliances. Who else beneath the heavens could match his spirit?

“Just how high is Sword Venerate Su’s cultivation, anyway? Why... Why does he look so much like a mortal...?” someone asked in bewilderment.

Su Yi’s presence seemed entirely unassuming. He didn’t show even the barest hint of a cultivation base.

He didn’t seem like he was guiding the cloud. Rather, it seemed like the cloud was carrying him through the heavens.

“His cultivation base is completely withdrawn, as invisible as the Grand Dao itself. Isn’t that even scarier?” someone sighed.

The experts filling the surrounding eight thousand miles, people from all over the God Domain, gazed at the man in blue. They knew they were witnessing the descent of a legend.

Indeed, in their hearts, Su Yi was more than worthy of that title!

Su Yi took all of this in calmly, not the least bit concerned.

When he arrived before Borderless Mountain, he shifted his feet, and the cloud came to an abrupt stop.

“Sword cultivator Su Yi has come to do battle!”

It was just one sentence, just a smattering of syllables, but it was like the sound of the Grand Dao. Heaven and earth shook, and all of creation resonated with his voice.

The crowd shook from head to toe. Everyone gasped.

Su Yi hadn’t used any sort of secret art or divine ability, yet his voice had resonated with heaven and earth. It contained some sort of astonishing, heart-shaking power!

Even as his voice boomed far and wide, the countless experts gathered here didn’t feel the least bit out of sorts.

However, when his voice reached Borderless Mountain, it dispersed the dense, leaden clouds overhead!

The entire stretch of sky was thrown into chaos.

“Hmph!” A cold voice emanated from the temple on Heavenbreaker Peak.

The sound quickly quelled Su Yi’s voice, and the skies over Borderless Mountain instantly returned to stillness.

Then, everyone watched as a little girl, Taishu Gong, and all of the experts of their banner appeared over Heavenbreaker Peak.

A deathly silence descended over the area.

The auras emanating from the gathered experts’ bodies were just too terrifying. They suppressed everything on all sides!

All manner of strange and terrifying phenomena of the Grand Dao appeared overhead: the river of heaven bursting through a dam, countless lightning bolts, streaks of sword qi, the humming of a saber, mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and roaring chaos fiends...

Even watching from afar was enough to fill the onlookers’ hearts with panic and make their hair stand on end!

And this was merely the result of the terrifying auras emanating from the experts’ bodies. The crowd couldn’t even imagine how terrifying it would be when they actually attacked!

“It’s like watching sovereigns descend from the nine heavens...” someone murmured, falling into a daze.

He was an Undying Realm Master God in his own right, but at that moment, he felt indescribably tiny, dull, and insignificant. It was much like how a firefly couldn’t compare with the light of the moon!

If even a Master God felt that way, it was obvious how astonishing this must have been for the other cultivators present.

“Su Yi, we’re waiting for you on Heavenbreaker Peak. Come on and kill us—if you can!” the little girl said icily. “So long as you don’t run away, we’ll accompany you until the very end!”

Amidst the otherwise deathly silence, her voice was like a frigid gale rising from the nine abysses. Everyone felt as if they’d been plunged into icewater.

“How could I possibly refuse?” Su Yi laughed, then took a step forward. The cloud instantly transformed into a thousand-foot sword arc, its edge glinting with dazzling light as it sliced through the air and carried Su Yi toward the mountain.

Boom!

Where the sword arc passed, the sky collapsed. Winds howled, and thunder boomed.

Over a thousand experts of the two alliances were stationed nearby. The weakest were Greater Gods, but now, they’d been reduced to mere guards.

When Su Yi rode in on that arc of sword qi, the thousand-plus experts didn’t even have time to react. Terrifying sword force bore down on them, sending them flying like duckweed in a raging storm.

Agonized cries rang out without end.

Meanwhile, Su Yi had reached Heavenbreaker Peak. He was just one person, but he stared over a hundred experts down from afar. He was like a mighty warrior single-handedly defending a pass against a vast army!

A fierce-looking old man in golden robes took a step forward, pointed at Su Yi, and bellowed, “Su Yi, give up and come quietly, and we...”

But before he could finish, Su Yi waved his hand through the air. A streak of sword qi descended from the heavens and cleaved into the old man.

Boom!

Wherever the sword qi passed, the sky shattered, creating a massive chasm.

The old man was a False Eternal, and his whole body emanated an air of Eternity. In the present-day God Domain, False Eternals were supreme existences far beyond Half-Step Eternals.

Yet now, Su Yi had forced the old man in golden robes back in a single slash!

He flew thirty feet before just barely managing to neutralize that slash’s power and steady himself.

Everyone was astonished.

Only the rumbling of sword qi remained, echoing throughout heaven and earth.

Everyone was astonished. Su Yi had only just arrived, but he disdained to even converse with his enemies. He just attacked directly, interrupting a False Eternal and forcing him back!

This was unquestionably far too domineering.

The power he had on display astonished countless onlookers.

The hundred-plus top experts exchanged glances, but they weren’t overly surprised. They’d anticipated that Su Yi would be strong enough to shake False Eternals, so that slash naturally didn’t astonish them.

Still, Su Yi’s sheer domineeringness made them frown.

“No need for any more nonsense. I'm here to fight, not to talk.” Su Yi swept his gaze across the group. Most of the faces were unfamiliar. There were only a few people he recognized, like the little girl, Taishu Gong, Gu Huaxian, and Jiao Mu.

But none of that mattered. All of them were enemies, and all of them had to die!

“Brazen!” Taishu Gong said coldly. “No need for any further discussion, then. Let’s begin.”

Boom!

Before Taishu Gong’s voice had even finished echoing through the air, the arc of sword qi carried Su Yi to Heavenbreaker Peak.

When he swung his sleeve, the firmament shattered like glass. Countless streaks of sword qi came crashing down, like the waters of heaven bursting through a dam. They were headed straight for Su Yi’s enemies.

That boundless flood of sword qi blotted out the sun and blanketed the sky. It was dazzlingly, stingingly bright, to the point that the distant onlookers felt piercing pain in their eyes.

Many were overcome with astonishment.

They’d been looking forward to this battle for a long time. Everyone had assumed that Su Yi would proceed with caution after he arrived and take a little time to gauge the situation before doing anything else.

Who could have imagined that he’d disdain to waste any time on talk, and that he’d launch a domineering attack right off the bat?

Kaboom!

The flood of sword qi was boundlessly vast, its sword force terrifying.

The little girl raised her hand, and a rain of dark power of the natural order transformed into a barrier, blocking the flood of sword qi.

The sword qi slammed into it repeatedly, producing a series of rapidfire blasts.

That sword qi was mighty enough to threaten even False Eternals, yet the barrier blocked it all!

Practically simultaneously, Taishu Gong bellowed, “Do it!”

Twenty-four False Eternals rose into the air, taking different positions. Each produced a formation disk.

The disks lit up, and heaven and earth dimmed.

Then, an unparalleled killing formation took to the skies, completely enveloping everything between the entrance to the Borderless Mountains and Heavenbreaker Peak.

Su Yi was trapped inside, too!

Whoosh!

When the False Eternals jointly circulated the formation, countless streaks of dreamlike golden light surged forth, like blazing flames emanating heart-palpitating Eternal power.

The space around Su Yi caught ablaze. It was as if he’d been plunged into a furnace.

Everything was full of Eternal flames. Their power was enough to incinerate even False Eternals with ease!

When the crowd on Heavenbreaker Peak saw this, their spirits soared and they broke into smiles.

This was the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation.

It wasn’t of the God Domain, but rather, the River of Destiny. It could burn all enemies yet to reach Eternity!
