Chapter 1105 - If You Can Last Three Strikes, Consider It My Loss
Earlier, everyone already knew that Su Yi was the reincarnation of the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force. Thus, they knew his combat prowess was heaven-defying.
But even more than that, they knew that the Profound Illumination Realm Su Yi wasn’t comparable to his past incarnation’s peak.
Thus, when he fought Pi Mo, some people found it hard to imagine how he could overcome a gap of two full realms.
Yet now, when they witnessed his sword’s majesty, they were astonished. It even dealt a heavy blow to their perception of reality!
The entire area boiled over.
Even the living fossils watching from the shadows gasped.
There was no doubt about it. After reincarnating, Su Xuanjun had stepped onto a new path, one even more terrifying than the one he’d walked before!
Even if his cultivation base was still far beneath that of his past life, his combat prowess surely far surpassed his past self at the same realm!
It was to the point that they couldn’t even imagine how powerful the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force would be once he stepped into the Profound Unity Realm once more.
But it was then that the distant Pi Mo threw back his head and laughed. “Master, when you were at your peak, even a casual slash could have destroyed me on the spot. Now, it’s just as I anticipated. After reincarnating, your cultivation is ultimately far too weak!”
The entire area was in uproar, but silence descended following this declaration.
Everyone looked at each other, but none of them could argue.
Pi Mo wasn’t wrong. At the pinnacle of his past life, the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force could suppress even other Imperial Apex cultivators, let alone early-stage Profound Unity cultivators like Pi Mo!
“Shameless! Were you fighting at the same realm, your master would have killed you a long time ago, you little brat!” the Skythorn Poison Emperor snorted coldly.
It was as if Pi Mo didn’t even hear him. He ignored him completely.
Instead, his eyes blazed as he locked onto the distant Su Yi and said with staunch conviction, “Master, your disciple has been looking forward to this day for a long time. I’m eager to send a legend like you plummeting into the dust with my own two hands! After all, you yourself said that blue dye is bluer than the plant it’s derived from, and that a disciple is not necessarily inferior to his master!”
“When they come out of your mouth, those words are defiled.” Su Yi carried Moonlit Shadow over. “If you can last three strikes, consider it my loss.”
Three strikes!?
Everyone present was flabbergasted. They almost suspected that they’d misheard.
Pi Mo’s eyelids twitched, and his expression was incomparably grim.
He understood his master far too well. He wouldn’t have said that unless he was absolutely confident he could do it.
But despite having that awareness, hearing that his master thought he couldn’t even take three strikes made Pi Mo inwardly uncomfortable.
He said expressionlessly, “In that case, Master, you’re sure to lose!”
He circulated his cultivation base to the limit and used a secret art that stimulated his latent potential. His majestic aura suddenly swelled.
Severing Heavens burst with monstrous light as he attacked.
He was making the first move!
Pi Mo refused to believe that if he went all out, he couldn’t block a measly three strikes!
Heaven and earth shook, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Pi Mo was as tyrannical as a god waging war. As he swung his sword and attacked, dense, immeasurable sword qi bore down on the skies, splitting them like paper. Unstoppable sword light illuminated the entire landscape.
He now seemed many times stronger than before!
“Isn’t His Excellency Su a bit too complacent...?” Yan Suni’s heart shook.
She wasn’t the only one who thought this way. Many of the old fossils in attendance were sweating on Su Yi’s behalf.
But as Pi Mo attacked, Moonlit Shadow let out a clear, inscrutable hum in Su Yi’s grip.
The gray, destructive Laws of the Grand Dao floated around the ethereal blade, and a terrifying sword intent filled heaven and earth.
The Laws of Rebirth!
These Laws of the Grand Dao were a component of the mysteries of reincarnation.
Even when he’d only achieved minor success in the Laws of Rebirth, Su Yi realized that even without the aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells, using these Laws was enough to counter the Studio of the Heart’s Laws of Spirit Nirvana, the Nine Heavens Pavilion’s Laws of Heavenly Prayer, and the Church of the River of Stars’ Laws of Cosmic Silence!
All three were the supreme Celestial Laws of their respective star realms. It was thanks to this power that the disciples of these three factions of outer space were invincible within their respective realms here in the Wilds. They could even cross realms to kill superior opponents.
The crux of the matter was that their power of the Laws could suppress the Laws of the Wilds’ cultivators.
And since the Laws of Rebirth could contend with them, that meant they were on the same level as these Celestial Laws! Furthermore, after refining Dark and Gold Essence, Su Yi’s grasp of the Laws of Rebirth had long since reached perfection!
“The first strike.”
As his calm voice rang out, Moonlit Shadow swept through the air and descended, bringing with it the gray light of destruction.
Clang!!!
A deafening blast reverberated throughout heaven and earth. The spectating cultivators felt as if their souls had been struck, and they saw stars. Their blood and qi churned.
Pi Mo was charging explosively over when Su Yi’s attack landed. It was as if he’d collided with a primordial divine mountain. His tall, majestic figure was sent flying like a kite with its strings cut. He flew several hundred feet before just barely managing to stabilize himself.
His chest heaved violently. That tyrannical sword intent had slammed into him like an avalanche. Throughout his body, his bones and tendons almost snapped, and he could no longer resist the urge to cough up blood.
He was already visibly overcome with astonishment and disbelief, and Severing Heavens wailed and trembled in his grip!
The entire area fell deathly silent. Everyone was startled.
After their first clash, everyone subconsciously assumed that just contending with the Profound Unity Realm Pi Mo was an unparalleled accomplishment. Su Yi’s combat prowess left them astonished. After all, he was only in the Profound Illumination Realm.
But now, they were completely dumbstruck. They suddenly realized that their earlier judgment had been way off the mark.
Now that the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force was truly determined to defeat Pi Mo, it didn’t matter how impressive Pi Mo’s majestic aura was. He still seemed pathetically inept. One slash had been enough to deal him a massive setback.
“This....” Yan Suni’s eyes widened.
“I just knew Old Monster Su wouldn’t talk nonsense,” the Skythorn Poison Emperor said softly.
Throughout the surrounding area, the onlookers were wide-eyed and tongue-tied, regardless of their cultivation.
Only Jin Kui and the other disciples remained calm.
They’d all watched as their master cut down Holy Son Qin Feng of the Church of the River of Stars. They were naturally well aware that you couldn’t judge their master’s strength just by looking at his cultivation base!
It hadn’t been long since Wang Que had experienced this firsthand.
Shortly after proving his Dao and entering the Profound Unity Realm, his master called him over for a spar. At first, they were evenly matched, but when Su Yi used his true strength, he quickly suppressed Wang Que’s offensive. No matter how hard Wang Que struggled, it was to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
At the time, Wang Que asked their master if he’d used his full strength.
Their master responded with just one sentence: “Don’t compare yourself to me.”
At the time, Wang Que had felt upset and frustrated.
But now, as he watched a single strike deal Pi Mo a massive setback, Wang Que finally let go. It’s true. No one in this world, no matter their cultivation, can compare to Master!
It’s not that he’s invincible, but that he’s the only one to have successfully reincarnated and re-cultivated from the beginning! How could others’ paths possibly be so lofty or far-reaching?
Su Yi stood calmly beneath the dome of heaven. “It seems that even after following the Studio of the Heart all these years, you haven’t mastered their Laws of Spirit Nirvana. That’s truly tragic.”
Pi Mo wiped the blood from his lips and took a deep breath. “That was just one slash. Do you really think you’ve won already?”
He then rose to his full height, and his aura rumbled like thunder, even mightier than before!
His Dao Heart was firm. His will to fight naturally wouldn’t crumble so easily!
“Descend!” Pi Mo bellowed and activated all manner of secret defensive arts. Firelight blazed around him, forming a set of armor, and layers of the power of the Laws fluctuated around him.
He then stepped into the air, Severing Heavens rumbling and clanging in his grip. One slash, and a dense, immeasurable wave of sword qi swept forth like a tidal wave, as if overturning mountains and seas to create an uncrossable divine barrier!
He was obviously on the defensive. He wasn’t trying to attack, but to leave no openings!
A hint of disdain flashed in the depths of Su Yi’s gaze.
His robes billowed around him as Moonlit Shadow rose through the air. The Laws of Rebirth silently transformed into the Laws of the Far Shore as he struck for the second time.
With my sword, I split mountains and seas. My troubles recede like the tides.
Wherever this slash passed, heaven and earth seemed to light ablaze. Fiery, blazing sword qi crushed that divine barrier of sword qi with ease.
Boom!
Firelight scattered, and that sword intent seemed unstoppable and unbreakable.
Watching from afar, it was as if the legendary Path of Fire of the Netherworld had appeared before them, connecting to the far shore!
The ancient records of the Infernal Palace stated that when the Path of Fire linked to the Far Shore, it could deliver all ghosts and supernatural entities!
There was nowhere it could not reach, and nothing that could stand in its way!
These were the Laws of the Far Shore, a portion of the mysteries of reincarnation!
Po Mo had poured everything he had into defending this strike, activating all manner of defensive arts and drawing upon the full strength of his Dao of the Sword. However, as this slash descended, all of his defenses shattered!
Even though he risked it all and blocked it just in the nick of time, that blazing sword qi left him badly injured.
Bang!
Pi Mo was sent flying backward once more. The terrifying, blazing power of the Far Shore had left his skin torn, burnt, and bleeding all over. Even his bones and tendons were on the verge of breaking.
And that sharp edge had even cleaved into his soul. It hurt so much that he felt as if his skull were splitting, and his face contorted with agony.
He managed to stabilize himself with great difficulty, but his breathing came in ragged gasps. He was covered in startling wounds, and his face was an unrecognizable mess!
He was such a miserable sight that he left the onlookers astonished. Some of the old-timers felt a chill course through their hearts. In their eyes, Su Yi’s second slash had been full of strange power. It seemed utterly taboo and terrifying.
But Su Yi didn’t hold back. He directly launched his next attack.
“The third strike.”
This time, the Mysterious Truths of the Far Shore silently transformed into the Laws of Oblivion. Obscure radiance burst around Moonlit Shadow.
Everything dimmed.
It was as if all of heaven and earth had been dragged into an endless abyss! Everyone’s hair stood on end. What kind of power is this!?
And Pi Mo visibly lost his composure. His ironclad Dao Heart shook as he sensed a powerful, lethal threat.
An indescribable feeling of frustration arose within his heart.
He wasn’t willing to just dodge like this, because he knew that so long as he blocked this attack and lived, his master was sure to admit defeat!
But the power of this third strike was far too terrifying, to the point that Pi Mo wasn’t at all confident he could survive it.
Boom!
As the third slash descended, heaven and earth withered. Everything silently sunk into oblivion.
And in the face of imminent death, Pi Mo caved! He immediately sought refuge beneath Martial Heaven Peak’s formations, not daring to hesitate in the slightest!
