First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1441 - What Does it Mean to Be Tyrannical?

Yun Huaqing walked over after gathering the spoils. Just like Yu Ning, his attitude toward Su Yi had changed completely.

He no longer dared view Su Yi as a junior!

“Fellow Daoist Yu, you cannot be so reckless going forward,” warned Yun Huaqing.

Yu Ning nodded. “That goes for you too. Don’t invite Fellow Daoist Su’s rebuffs like you did earlier, okay?”

Yun Huaqing rubbed his nose awkwardly.

An hour later, Su Yi awakened from his meditation and said, “Let’s go.”

He was already heading into the sea of fog of the Endless Treasure Grounds. Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning followed immediately after.

......

Fog rose into the air, like chaos enveloping the landscape.

Countless resplendent, colorful divine rainbows arced about the mists like schools of fish. They flowed through the fog, flickering in and out of view, gone as soon as they appeared.

Kccch!

As the fog flowed past, wisps of strange, cursed power corroded the skies, creating rifts startling to both the mind and the senses.

Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning’s hearts jumped in their chests, and they readied themselves for battle.

They were revenants, and they’d endured the torment of the curse for a long time. They naturally knew as well as anyone just how terrifying it was.

They no longer doubted the rumors. The sea of fog blanketing the Endless Treasure Grounds most likely really was connected to the catastrophe of the End of the Dharma!

The cursed power distributed throughout the fog was their proof!

What reassured them was that they had Su Yi leading the way. Wherever he went, the surging fog parted like the seas and receded, not daring to approach.

“The power of reincarnation really is a natural counter to such cursed energies,” said Yun Huaqing. Both Void Realm True Immortals had inscrutable looks on their faces.

To anyone else, the Endless Treasure Grounds held endless perils.

But to Su Yi, the man who’d mastered reincarnation, it was as if he were on a stroll through his own backyard!

Whoosh!

A colorful divine rainbow surged toward them from the distant fog, but its resplendent light disappeared a moment later.

“Who’d dare believe that these divine rainbows were all manifested of Grand Dao Source Energy?” exclaimed Yun Huaqing. “It’s a pity. They’re distributed throughout the depths of the sea of fog, and they’re gone in a flash. It’ll be difficult to gather them.”

The Divine Rainbows represented source powers of different Grand Daos, and they were incomparably pure.

If they could capture them, there would be no need for contemplation. All they needed to do was refine them and fuse them into their own power of the Grand Dao!

“The rainbows are fleeting and unpredictable. They really are hard to catch,” said Yu Ning. She found it quite the pity too.

A grand stroke of fortune had appeared before them, but there was no way for them to seize it. All they could do was look.

“Gathering these Grand Dao Divine Rainbows isn’t actually all that difficult,” Su Yi said suddenly, his gaze distant. “I estimate that the further we proceed, the more numerous the rainbows will become, and the more frequently they’ll appear.

“The distance between us and them is too great, so we have little opportunity to catch them. But the further we go, the closer we’ll get. When the time comes, we’ll naturally have ample opportunity to compete for this good fortune.”

Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning’s spirits soared.

The group continued ahead. Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning soon noticed that it was just as Su Yi said; the further they went, the more frequently the Grand Dao Divine Rainbows appeared.

Furthermore, the distance between them was shrinking!

But the two Void Realm True Immortals still found them difficult to seize. This was because the rainbows were unpredictable and fleeting, gone in a flash. It would be difficult to catch them without first setting a trap.

......

“Quick, block those Grand Dao Divine Rainbows!”

“Work together!”

“I already set my sights on that Grand Dao Divine Rainbow. If anyone tries to steal it, I’ll kill them!”

A clamor of voices suddenly emanated from the distant depths of the sea of fog. There were already people here!

Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning looked at each other, instantly solemn.

“Let’s go have a look.” Su Yi was already walking toward the source of the voice.

It wasn’t long before they reached a place shrouded in fog. Grand Dao Divine Rainbows flowed like beams of light, flitting past and disappearing.

Several figures shrouded in immortal light were giving chase and trying to catch these fleeting rainbows. It was a scene of extreme chaos.

The figures were clustered in small grounds of different camps. All of them were competing to catch their prey first.

They unleashed secret arts, activated secret treasures, and plunged the entire area into disarray.

But upon closer inspection, very few of them actually managed to get their hands on any of the Grand Dao Divine Rainbows.

It wasn’t that they weren’t strong enough, but that the Grand Dao Divine Rainbows were too quick, and they disappeared too quickly.

“Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows, the Gale Master, Bai Lichuan... So, it’s those old-timers!” Yun Huaqing scanned the area and recognized many of those present. All of them were Void Realm True Immortal revenants!

Some of the old monsters were extraordinarily powerful existences. For instance, the few Yun Huaqing mentioned were like hegemons among Void Realm True Immortals.

“It seems we got here late,” whispered Yu Ning.

“In a competition for good fortune, it doesn’t matter who gets there first,” Su Yi said plainly.

This area was indeed extraordinary. All types of Grand Dao Divine Rainbows flitted in and out of view.

When they drew closer, they could see that the Grand Dao Divine Rainbows were actually manifested of fist-sized bundles of light.

The bundles of light all shone in different ways. As they shot through the air, they left trails of light in their wake, creating the appearance of rainbows.

Furthermore, the bundles of light were all different. Some were dim and reserved, while others shone like miniature blazing suns. Some were the size of an infant’s fist, while others were as large as millstones!

Their shapes, charms, and appearances made their relative quality and nature obvious at a glance.

Whoosh!

A bright red Divine Rainbow appeared in the air just a hundred feet in front of Yun Huaqing.

Before Yun Huaqing could react, a glittering golden net appeared out of nowhere and captured the arc of red light.

It was an old man in long robes who’d thrown the net. His hair was disheveled, and he had a pair of long yellow eyebrows.

Three others clustered around him.

“Yun Huaqing? Hah? I wouldn’t have thought you’d show up here too!”

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows grinned, then gestured to the surrounding area. “Have a good look around! I’ve claimed this entire area!”

Yun Huaqing’s brow furrowed. “What’s that supposed to mean, Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows?”

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows laughed. “Don’t misunderstand. You want to vie for good fortune? Go right ahead. You just have to give ninety percent to me as an expression of filial piety. Refuse, and...”

His smile disappeared without a trace as he said slowly and clearly, “I’ll make you leave!”

His voice boomed throughout the surrounding area, drawing the attention of those further away.

Yun Huaqing’s expression darkened, and he felt he had no face left.

Yu Ning couldn’t help but be furious. Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows is pushing us too far! He obviously doesn’t take us the least bit seriously! If only Red Cloud was here. Would he dare behave so brazenly then?

Both of them instinctively looked at Su Yi, only to see that Su Yi had no intention of wasting his breath. He just walked right over and said cooly, “Give up all your treasures, then get the hell out of here. Do so, and this lofty one will spare your life.”

Even Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning couldn’t help but glance at each other. They’d predicted that Su Yi wouldn’t back down, but they hadn’t anticipated that he’d be this domineering.

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows was already quite overbearing. But Su Yi was even more overbearing than him!

No, he wasn’t just overbearing. His tyrannical nature was bone-deep! He didn’t take Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows or his companions the least bit seriously!

“What... did you say?” Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows seemed to suspect he’d misheard.

The three Void Realm True Immortals accompanying him were similarly flabbergasted. They couldn’t help but take a second look at Su Yi, only to discover that he was just a young man without even the slightest trace of a cultivation base. They really couldn’t see anything special about him at all.

“Yun Huaqing, who is this impudent kid? How dare he threaten us? Isn’t he afraid to die?” A man in ink-dark robes laughed.

Su Yi suddenly attacked, appearing in front of the man in a flash.

Boom!

The Sword of the Human Realm descended furiously.

“You really are seeking death!” The man in ink-black robes was a Void Realm True Immortal. He naturally wouldn’t just sit around and wait to die.

He snorted coldly, raised his hand, and reached for the Sword of the Human Realm!

But then, Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows’ bellow boomed in his ears. “Careful! That’s the power of reincarnation!!”

Reincarnation? The man in ink-black robes looked stricken, but he was already one step too late.

Splurt!

When the Sword of the Human Realm cleaved into him, it slashed him cleanly in two. Tyrannical sword qi tore his body to pieces, and he exploded with a bang.

Widespread silence ensued.

The Void Realm True Immortals fighting over the Grand Dao Divine Rainbows all stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Reincarnation! Could that young man be Su Yi? But the rumors say that Su Yi only just recently stepped onto the Path of Transcendence. How could he possibly have killed a Void Realm True Immortal Revenant in a single slash?

Everyone was bewildered and uncertain. Meanwhile, Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows and his two surviving subordinates looked shocked. They moved further away, anger and alarm written all over their faces.

That kid is actually so terrifying!?

The atmosphere was stifled and oppressive. Dark currents flowed beneath the surface.

Numerous eyes were upon Su Yi. Although all of them were uncertain, there was no hiding the greed blazing in their eyes, as if a strong of unrivaled good fortune had delivered itself right to their door.

By comparison, even the Grand Dao Divine Rainbows no longer mattered!

Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning’s expressions shifted. How could they not understand how enticing Su Yi’s power of reincarnation was to these Void Realm True Immortals?

But Su Yi disregarded all of this.

He just held the Sword of the Human Realm and gazed indifferently at Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows. “Can you hear this lofty one clearly now?”

His voice spread throughout the entire area.

The gathered immortals’ faces filled with disbelief.

A junior of the Path of Transcendence dares be so brazen as to threaten Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows, a Void Realm True Immortal?

He’s simply sick in the head!

In stark contrast, Yun Huaqing and Yu Ning stayed calm. Before seeing Su Yi’s strength with their own eyes, they too saw him as a junior, and they didn’t take him at all seriously.

But after witnessing his strength, these Void Realm True Immortals were ashamed of their inferiority, to the point that they couldn’t help but sigh.

“Haha! Hahaha!”

Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows threw back his head and laughed. It was obvious to anyone that this vicious, wantonly arrogant old monster was furious!

But a moment later, to the crowd’s utter bewilderment, Old Monster Yellow Eyebrows wiped the grin off his face and waved.

“We’re leaving! Leave this territory to them!”

“????”
