First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 1352 - I Might Have Hidden a Teensy Little Bit of My Cultivation

The Transcendents saw Su Yi as prey, and also as walking good fortune!

His power over reincarnation was like a divine treasure. With it, they could preside over the world!

That was no exaggeration, either.

No matter how terrifying their cultivations, the world’s revenants were trapped by their curses. The Laws of Reincarnation were their natural counter.

But they were also their only hope of freeing themselves from their curse.

Think about it. If they obtained power over reincarnation, they wouldn’t just be able to free themselves from their own curse—they could also put an end to the dreams of the other revenants! Who wouldn’t have gone mad over this?

And Su Yi was now covered in grievous wounds. Everyone thought he was an arrow at the end of its flight. Who’d be willing to just give up such an opportunity?

Even knowing that Su Yi was taking advantage of the chaos and infighting to divert disaster onto his enemies, and even knowing that capturing him first was the wisest course of action....

No one was willing to back down in the face of such a glorious opportunity!

Birds died for food, and men died for wealth.

It was a tired, overused adage, but its truth stood the test of time!

Outsiders might think these Transcendents seemed stupid and muddle-headed. They had to know Su Yi was leading them around by the nose, but they still fought amongst themselves.

But those not directly involved in this chaotic battle couldn’t possibly understand what these Transcendents were feeling.

Especially the revenants. They were even less willing to see Su Yi escape from right under their noses!

The entire area was even more chaotic and turbulent.

Dazzling treasure light ran rampant, and currents of destructive power swept outward. The sounds of combat, curses, and threats rang out without end.

Numerous Transcendents were injured. Fresh blood sprayed the air, and the situation was instantly a complete mess.

Throughout the surrounding eighty thousand feet, the entire landscape collapsed and broke. The aftershock of the battle spread, devastating everything around it.

Finally, Lu Changting of Yellow Springs Demon Mountain seized an opportunity to use the killer weapon he’d kept in reserve!

“Capture!” Lu Changting bellowed as he summoned a treasure bottle.

It was about a foot tall, crystalline and snowy, as if it had been forged out of lamb suet. Resplendent white light flowed around it.

As the treasure bottle rose into the air, misty light reminiscent of the radiance of a new dawn burst from the mouth of the bottle, swept outward, and blanketed the entire stretch of sky.

And it trapped Su Yi inside it.

Within moments, Su Yi was tied up and immobilized, and he was swept uncontrollably into the treasure bottle.

By the time the nearby Transcendents of other camps charged over, it was too late. Intense unwillingness surged into their hearts.

Lu Changting threw back his head and laughed with undisguisable excitement. “No need to fight any longer! Now that the Temple Master is trapped in my Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle, he’ll never escape!”

With that, the originally chaotic battle came to an abrupt halt. All eyes were on Lu Changting, and all of them were seething with murderous intent.

Who could possibly be willing to let Lu Changting get away with this?

“Kill him!” someone bellowed, then attacked.

“Seize that treasure bottle!”

The experts of other camps took action too. All of them were frantic.

Lu Changting’s uproarious laughter came to an abrupt halt, and his smile froze in place.

“Hurry up and bring up the rear!” Lu Changting shouted, then turned and sped into the distance.

So long as he escaped this encirclement, the power of reincarnation would belong to Yellow Springs Demon Mountain. With it, they could intimidate all other revenants!

They would be able to break their allies’ curses, letting them cultivate anew. This would let them stand above all other orthodoxies! Other revenants’ lives and deaths would be theirs to decide!

Boom!

A grand battle broke out. It was even more brutal than before.

Just a few breaths of time later, the dozen-or-so Yellow Springs Demon Palace Transcendents who’d come here with Lu Changting had all been killed.

And Lu Changting was thoroughly surrounded.

“Do all of you really wish to become enemies with Yellow Springs Demon Mountain?” shouted Lu Changting.

At other times, a threat like that might well have intimidated the other revenants.

But now, their eyes were red with bloodlust. How could they possibly concern themselves with such threats?

“Kill that son of a bitch!” an old man shouted in fury.

The other Transcendents all attacked Lu Changting in a mad frenzy.

Lu Changting gasped and, without the slightest hesitation, flung the Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle into the air.

What good fortune? What grand opportunity? If he didn’t retreat now, he was doomed!

Even a mighty Dao Integration Realm existence like him couldn’t possibly withstand such a terrifying onslaught.

Boom!

All at once, everyone startled scrambling after the Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle.

Meanwhile, Lu Changting fled further away.

Once he’d ascertained his safety, Lu Changting circulated his entire cultivation base, activated a secret art, and bellowed an invocation. “To me!”

The Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle the experts of the other camps were squabbling over instantly whooshed through the air and shot right toward him.

“Dammit!”

Numerous experts’ expressions shifted.

“If I can’t have it, no one else can have it either!” Over in the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower’s camp, a white-haired elder waved his arm in fury. A sword swathed in immortal light shot forth, then descended smoothly, cleaving into the treasure bottle.

Bang!

The Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle trembled as a startling crack appeared on its surface.

In the end, Lu Changting put the treasure away, but he suffered a backlash, leaving him badly wounded.

He had no time to mourn his damaged treasure. All he could do was turn to flee.

The experts of other camps attacked like mad, intercepting his retreat, but they were obviously one step too late.

“Just you wait! Once I’ve refined the power of reincarnation, I’ll settle the score with every last one of you!” Lu Changting bellowed icily, not even turning back to look at the others.

But it was then that——

Bang!!

The Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle exploded.

Terrifying destructive power sent Lu Changting flying, and numerous gashes appeared all over his body.

Practically simultaneously, Su Yi appeared out of nowhere.

This sudden development didn’t just startle Lu Changting. The Transcendents chasing after him from afar widened their eyes in shock too.

The Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle was one of the greatest treasures of Yellow Springs Demon Mountain. Even prior to the End of the Dharma, it was an infamous peak Demonist treasure.

Rumor had it that once captured, even Transcendents would instantly lose all their strength, becoming nothing but helpless lambs to the slaughter. Within three days, the bottle would refine them until nothing remained but ash!

Yet now, this treasure had been broken! And the captive Temple Master had regained his freedom!

“You...” Lu Changting was furious.

Su Yi sighed. “I had no other choice. This battle’s been fun. If I’d let you escape, how could I keep playing?”

“Playing?” Lu Changting almost wanted to cough up blood. He calls this playing!?

Aside from him, every expert of Yellow Springs Demon Mountain had died brutally in this chaotic battle. Even the Firmament-Refining Treasure Bottle had been destroyed.

All of this was to capture Su Yi!

All Lu Changting could think was, How the fuck is that ‘playing?’

The distant pursuers’ expressions darkened in response to Su Yi’s words too.

“Su Yi, have you been playing us this entire time?” Zhong Tianquan shouted, his face ashen.

Su Yi looked around and shrugged. “Very well. I won’t pretend any longer. Let me lay everything out in the open. Earlier, I... really did want to have some fun with you all, so I might have... hidden a teensy little bit of my cultivation.”

He spoke casually, as if this were a harmless little prank.

Have some fun?

Lay everything out in the open?

A teensy little bit of his cultivation?

The Transcendents’ expressions were increasingly unsightly. He was really toying with us just now?

“I trust that by now, you all long to kill me, and I... also want to kill to my heart’s content,” laughed Su Yi.

Boom!

As his voice rang out, a terrifying aura surged into the firmament. Heaven and earth trembled, and the sky was thrown into disarray.

At speeds visible to the naked eye, Su Yi’s grievously wounded body knit back together. Moments later, he was as good as new. There was no trace of any of the bleeding wounds he’d had earlier.

Resplendent Dao Light flowed around him as his aura soared into the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm!

His skin was as shiny and smooth as divine jade, and his aura seemed to connect heaven and earth. Aside from his robes, which were still bloodstained and tattered, he looked like a completely different person!

“He calls that ‘hiding a teensy little bit of his cultivation?'” someone cried out.

The Cosmic Enlightenment Realm!

This revelation made every last one of his opponents feel as if they’d been struck by lightning. Their faces filled with alarm and rage as all of them realized this didn’t bode well.

Even as a Oneness World King, and even without drawing upon the power of reincarnation, Su Yi defeated four Nascent Divinity Realm Revenants in a row at Universal Emptiness Temple. Mu Yun’an, a peak expert of that realm, was among them.

In the battle at the Divine Forge, Su Yi swept the entire area, executing a group of revenants from the Southern Flame Pure Lands!

And earlier today, in the duel atop the Violet Heavens Platform, Su Yi single-handedly struck down four peak experts of the early-stage Nascent Divinity Realm in a four-on-one match.

Such strength was already enough to fill their hearts with incomparable dread.

But now, Su Yi revealed Cosmic Enlightenment Realm cultivation. His wounds had healed, and he’d even fully restored the power of his cultivation base.

Who wouldn’t have been surprised? Who wouldn’t have been furious?

“Impossible! Earlier, I used my innate secret ability to perceive his cultivation. I saw no signs of him hiding any of his strength!” someone cried out in fury.

The Transcendents present all hailed from different sects. They controlled many different secret arts and innate divine abilities, any of which should have been able to detect hints that Su Yi was hiding something.

Many of them had gone out of their way to scrutinize Su Yi’s cultivation base earlier, but none of them saw any sign that he was hiding anything.

Had they known Su Yi was hiding his strength, how could they possibly have fallen for his schemes?

Su Yi sighed. “There’s nothing for it. I wanted to play with you, so I had no choice but to employ a few little tricks. Otherwise, how could you have gone all out against me like this?”

His enemies felt almost as if they’d swallowed a dead fly.

Especially Lu Changting. He trembled with fury, his eyes bulging as if about to burst. It was bad enough that their plan had failed. Knowing how thoroughly Su Yi had played him almost drove him mad.

“Everyone, if we can’t work together, Su Yi really will beat every last one of us!” Zhong Tianquan gnashed his teeth.

“Fine, then! Let’s work together to take that bastard down first!”

“Very well!” The Transcendents were all furious. Their murderous intent soared into the heavens, and they decided to work together to take Su Yi down.

And this was exactly what Su Yi wanted to see.

He smiled faintly, stretched, and said, “I spent all that effort provoking your fury. Naturally, I have to take this time to sharpen my sword!”

The Sword of the Human Realm floated into his grip. Chaotic power flowed along the blade, and its impassioned hum rang out like the roar of the dragon.

A grand battle was about to begin!
