Chapter 345: Domineering

“Hah? I’ll be interested to see whether you’re nothing but hot air or whether you’re truly invincible!” After hearing Su Yi’s words, Zhou Changyi couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.

Clang!

He unsheathed the sword on his back. Dazzling purple lightning wrapped around the blade, its destructive aura shocking to behold.

“Cut!” he bellowed, the first to attack. His sword struck like a sudden crack of thunder descending from the heavens.

The power and majesty of this strike were far beyond?Su Hongli’s after?he broke through. Even the nearby Earthly Immortals gasped.

“The cultivation of the Origin Palace Realm really is terrifying!” Some people shivered.

Several others’ gazes landed on the longsword in Zhou Changyi’s hand, and their faces filled with surprise. “That sword is called Purple Lightning. They say it's a divine weapon from Mount?Heavenfault, and that it can call True Purple Lightning of the Firmament to slay its wielder’s?foes. Its power is miraculous beyond compare.”

Zhou Changyi was an Origin Palace cultivator. With his sword, Purple Lightning, he lived up to his reputation as the grand elder of the Unknown Dragons. His cultivation was enough to protect the Great Zhou’s imperial family and intimidate the masses.

“Like an ant.” In the face of this sword, Su Yi was disdainful. His eyes flashed with murderous light.

Whoosh!

The Abstruse God Sword swept forth, like an arc piercing the skies or a comet penetrating the moon and stars. The slash brought sharp,?domineering?sword intent with it as it met Zhou Changyi’s purple lightning sword qi head-on.

Rumble!

Two streaks of sword qi clashed, booming like a sudden clap of thunder. The entire stretch of sky churned violently as destructive currents of sword qi ran rampant, like a windstorm scattering a rain of light.

Beneath the crowd’s astonished gazes, Zhou Changyi’s slash disintegrated, bit by bit!

“Break!” Su Yi didn’t hesitate. He raised his sword and charged at Zhou Changyi, his aura surging ahead with no sign of weakening.

“Take this!” Zhou Changyi’s expression was grave, and his sleeves fluttered around him as he slashed repeatedly.

His old-fashioned purple longsword struck with dazzling electricity, clashing violently with the Abstruse God Sword.

However, mere moments later, Purple Lightning howled and shook. It almost flew from Zhou Changyi’s grip.

As limitlessly mighty as Purple Lightning was, Su Yi’s Abstruse God Sword was no ordinary spiritual weapon either. A clash of two comparable spiritual weapons was a pure contest of their wielders’ cultivations and attainments in the Dao of the Sword.

Zhou Changyi grunted and staggered.

He was an Origin Palace cultivator, but he’d only just barely managed to block Su Yi’s attack!

“Activate!” When she saw this, the nearby Zhou Qingxuan didn’t hesitate to intervene.

Bzzzz!

The onlookers then watched as something reminiscent of a lotus blossomed in her hand. Those ten, slender, jade-like fingers spread, forming a mysterious Buddhist hand seal. It was shaped like a lion or tiger, and it was vivid and lifelike, displaying majesty, intelligence, and charm.

The Buddhist hand seal flew through the air, directly at Su Yi!

The Treasure Lotus Lion Tiger Seal!

This was an ancient Buddhist inheritance.

From this, it was clear to see that the Unknown Dragons were far from comparable to ordinary Earthly Immortals of the mundane world. All of them wielded the power of ancient legacies or secret treasures!

Boom!

But Su Yi didn’t even look at her. He just stabbed with the Abstruse God Sword, and the mysterious Buddhist seal reminiscent of a big cat shattered into pieces, as fragile as glass.

Zhou Qingxuan’s pretty face paled, and she suddenly took several steps back. She felt flabbergasted.?This guy only just went through a bitter struggle. Why is he still so powerful?

She might be a mid-stage Grain Avoidance cultivator, but she’d cultivated for thirty years, and she’d inherited the power of a mysterious and ancient Buddhist legacy. She thought nothing of peak Grain Avoidance cultivators like You Tianhong.

Yet now, the hand seal she’d used to establish her reputation couldn’t even block Su Yi’s sword. How could she not be flabbergasted?

It was then that her fellows realized that something was amiss. Judging by his display of power, Su Yi wasn’t depleted at all!

This was entirely beyond their expectations!

“This kid is just putting on a strong front. Everyone, don’t panic. With time, we’ll surely take him down,” bellowed the second elder of Unknown Dragon Mountain, Zhou Yunhai.

He flipped his palm, and a flying shuttle, the type used for weaving, appeared in his palm with searing hot astral winds. It suddenly shot forth, slamming into Su Yi’s Abstruse God Sword. The sword shook violently on impact.

The lean man beside him, Zhou Tuhong, brimmed with a murderous aura. He stepped into the air, each hand drawing a saber as he charged at Su Yi.

Crunch!

Something like golden lightning streaked through the air.

The onlookers then watched as radiant golden saber light crossed a thousand feet. It was incomparably radiant, like a golden river of stars descending from the nine heavens. This one slash seemed intent on cutting through all of creation.

Before the saber qi arrived, the saber intent blanketed heaven and earth.

“The Sky-Splitting Golden Vajra Slash!” This was an attack that Zhou Tuhong had practiced for fifty years.

He’d reached the Grain Avoidance Realm decades ago, and the saber art he practiced was the inheritance of an ancient sect of saber users, making him far stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level.

“How terrifying!” Numerous startled cries rang out in the distance.

The onlookers were visibly astonished. If they weren’t so far away, the saber intent alone could have torn any ordinary martial artist’s martial soul to shreds!

Even watching from a distance, that strike reminiscent of a celestial river pouring down onto the world left them feeling suffocating.

“Hmph!” Yet Su Yi’s?face merely?filled with contempt. He raised his left hand, and those lustrous, jade-like fingers cut through the air, shining with clear light.

Rumble!

The sky trembled.

A radiant, clear palm imprint appeared. It was natural and unsophisticated, yet nothing could stand in its way. It crossed several hundred feet before clashing with the thousand-foot streak of saber qi.

Bang!

The saber qi directly burst apart, but the fist force didn’t so much as diminish. In the end, although Zhou Tuhong managed to block it, the impact sent him flying back, and he almost lost his grip on his saber.

How could he be so strong??Zhou Tuhong exclaimed inwardly.

The power of just one attack made their relative strengths clear!

This was a saber incantation Zhou Tuhong had practiced for fifty years, yet Su Yi had merely thrown a casual punch, and that was while manipulating the Abstruse God Sword to kill someone else!

He was outnumbered, yet he was still so domineering. It was just too terrifying!

Zhou Changyi and his companions glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with ruthless light.

Then—

Zhou Changyi poured his cultivation into Purple Lightning, striking with vast swathes of purple electricity, like a divine sovereign of thunder. Destructive energy blanketed heaven and earth.

Zhou Tuhong swung his sabers. He was using his true ultimate technique now, and each slash fired dazzling golden saber light as it swept through the skies.

Zhou Yunhai manipulated the green flying shuttle. It was as nimble and spritely as the wind itself as it surged through the air.

Zhou Qingxuan’s hands formed seals, which blossomed like lotuses, filling the sky. All of them condensed into profound and inscrutable Buddhist imprints, which fell to earth like a meteor shower, stirring up powerful winds.

“It’s still not enough.” Su Yi shook his head. His true essence surged forth. Now, even his fleshly body shone with clear luster, like a transparent glaze.

Then, he swung his sword.

A vast streak of clear sword qi descended, like five ancient sword mountains.

Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword

The power of this slash was enough to suppress moons and suns, or mountains and rivers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Buddhist imprints were the first to break apart.

Zhou Qingxuan staggered back. The impact forced her to retreat several hundred feet back, and her pretty face was even more pallid than before.

Immediately afterward, the green shuttle flew back with a clang. Its wails shook the heavens, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

Zhou Yunhai let out a stifled grunt, and his heart ached to the extreme.

Only Zhou Changyi and Zhou Tuhong remained unharmed, but Su Yi’s attack shook them too, and they struggled to remain upward. Both were a sorry sight.

Just one attack, yet it was so strong!

Both on and off the battlefield, everyone was stunned.

“!!” Zhou Shanjia, Zhou Beilin, Lonely River, Yun Zhongqi, and the others gasped.

Zhou Changyi and Zhou Tuhong’s cultivations far surpassed someone like You Tianhong. Even the weakest of the six Unknown Dragons, Zhou Qingxuan, was no slouch.

If the four of them joined forces, they could go toe-to-toe with Su Hongli even after he’d been possessed by the spirit of the bell.

Yet now, Su Yi took all four of them on at once, but he nevertheless firmly seized the upper hand!

“Let me try!” Zhou Shanjia took action. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

A massive palm of golden light flew through the air. Majestic Buddhist light covered the earth. The palm, like the hand of a ten-thousand-foot Buddha, pressed down with enough force that it seemed capable of making heaven and earth cave in on themselves.

Rumble!

Before the golden Buddhist palm arrived, the space around Su Yi caved in, throwing the air currents into chaos; they seemed to howl and wail.

“Interesting. This body-refining technique is actually quite extraordinary.” Su Yi’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

The power of Zhou Shanjia’s physical body was incomparably despotic. It connected both internal and external energy; the strength of his blood and qi guided the power of his surroundings, giving this single palm shocking power. It was clear that he cultivated an extremely powerful Buddhist body-refining technique.

“Alas, it’s still not worth looking at.” Su Yi didn’t hesitate. He, too, used the pure power of his physique to point and press from afar.

The Starry Sky Sword Fingers!

Countless stars surged into being, emanating translucent clear light as they gathered into a celestial whirlpool rumbling and churning the surrounding air.

Boom!

When the golden palm and the whirlpool of stars clashed, the entire stretch of sky exploded, enveloped in a flood and a dazzling rain of light.

Mere moments had passed, but Zhou Shanjia shook violently, as if he’d been buffeted by a windstorm. He flew several hundred feet back, like a kite with its strings cut, before just barely managing to stabilize himself.

He was flabbergasted.

His every punch and kick was as strong as a dragon or elephant. He could cleave mountains and sever rivers! Yet, Su Yi was like the limitlessly powerful demons and gods of legends—mighty to the extreme!

“Everyone, attack at once! This Su Yi really is an unprecedented and powerful foe!” Zhou Changyi said gravely.

The others nodded their agreement.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Towering killing intent soared through the clouds, spreading far and wide, suppressing and churning the skies to the point of collapse.

Purple lightning poured down like a waterfall, dazzling saber light illuminated the sky, a green shuttle danced on the wind, and layers of Buddhist hand seals…

Six distinctly different powers, like six floods descending from the heavens, struck with seemingly unstoppable power. All charged directly at Su Yi with clear intent to kill.

Seeing this, the depths of Su Yi’s eyes lit up; he’d been eagerly anticipating this for a while now.

He’d ended his grudge with the Su Family and cleared his emotional blockages. Nothing stood in his way, and his heart was complete and without obsession

Now, he wanted to use this battle as a stimulus and enter the Xiantian Martial Ancestor Realm in one fell swoop!

His entire body surged with the will to fight, like a long-dormant volcano finally erupting.

Whoosh~~~!

His blood surged through him like a river, and his organs rumbled like thunder. Lustrous and translucent clear light lingered around his tall, lean figure, making him seem airy and ethereal.

“Cut!” The light in Su Yi’s eyes intensified, and his will to fight boiled over. The Abstruse God Sword hummed in his hands as he struck.
