First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 1973: The Thunder Execution Spear

Countless rifts tore open in heaven and earth, and the sky was plunged into chaos.

Su Yi suddenly took three steps back, his vital energy churning.

But at the same time, Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s avatar of will was forced back a full thirty feet! His face was flushed red, and he was visibly overcome with astonishment.

This unbelievable scene astonished everyone present.

“This…” The divine emissaries were thoroughly wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Earlier, the aftershock of the battle had sent them flying, and the impact left them seeing stars. For a moment, they almost thought they were seeing things.

“Don’t tell me that Su Yi really did kill a newly ascended god?” Divine Venerate Xi Yue’s expression shifted. Among the onlookers, only she understood that Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s avatar of will was far stronger than a true Lesser God!

Yet now, he’d been at a disadvantage in a head-on clash against Su Yi. Of course Divine Venerate Xi Yue was stunned. How could she not be?

“You dare!” Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s eyes shone with murderous intent and his aura swelled as he attacked once more.

Thud!

He took a step forward, and the divine light emanating from him shot forth, manifesting a strange and terrifying cage. The cage was woven out of purple lightning bolts of the Laws brimming with a heaven-shaking destructive aura.

When Divine Venerate Luo Heng pressed down, the cage descended. This time, he was obviously using his full strength. This attack was noticeably stronger than the earlier palm strike.

Su Yi was interested in seeing just how strong a god’s avatar of will was, so he too unleashed his full strength, including the power of reincarnation.

Boom!

It was as if the Netherworld had manifested in this plane, complete with the alternations of the Cycle of the Six Paths. The Netherworld then slammed into the cage of purple lightning.

The impact threw heaven and earth into upheaval. Divine radiance ran rampant.

Before they could determine who’d come out on top in this exchange, Su Yi and Divine Venerate Luo Heng each attacked once more, almost as if by prior agreement.

In an instant, they’d clashed over one hundred times.

Every time they clashed, it was like a true battle of gods. The Grand Dao collapsed, and heaven and earth dimmed.

Without exception, the distant onlookers trembled. They were overcome with horror and despair.

Even though Su Yi told Xi Ning that he’d slain a god, she wasn’t there to see it, and she was curious as to how Su Yi had managed to kill Jiang Tai’e. Now, she saw his strength with her own eyes.

The Su Yi she saw on the battlefield was proud, contemptuous, and unparalleled in his valiance. Every time he swung his fist, the power of reincarnation appeared in this world. His sword qi swept forth in waves, tyrannical to the extreme.

Even against Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s avatar of will, he wasn’t at all at a disadvantage!

Indescribable astonishment coursed through Xi Ning’s heart.

Even in the God Domain, no one had ever slain a god in the Great Unity Stage, let alone fought a Greater God’s avatar of will like this. It was no exaggeration to say that no one had ever done this before, and no one would ever do it again!

Luo Tiandu, meanwhile, was the most conflicted of all. Divine Venerate Luo Heng was his great uncle, and he held a lofty position in the clan. His prestige was as grand as the heavens themselves.

But Su Yi was extraordinary, too! He controlled the power of reincarnation, and he’d slain a god with his Great Unity Stage cultivation. How could you provoke someone like that lightly?

What the hell is even going on here? Luo Tiandu inwardly gnashed his teeth. He felt an incomparable headache coming on.

As for everyone else present? They watched in a daze, their minds completely blank with astonishment.

“Die!”

As the battle raged, Divine Venerate Luo Heng roared in fury and waved his sleeve. Churning purple thunderclouds fell, bearing down on the sky and descending upon Su Yi.

Su Yi used his fingers as a sword and charged into the fray, his sword intent manifesting the Path of the Far Shore. It shattered the purple thunderclouds filling the sky, then continued toward Divine Venerate Luo Heng, its power entirely undiminished.

Bang!!!

A muffled impact rang out, and Divine Venerate Luo Heng was forced several steps back. His face was practically green; he couldn’t accept this. He let out a thunderous roar and attacked with all his might.

But in the blink of an eye, he was forced back once more!

Their battle was so incomparably fierce that it left the surrounding landscape riddled with holes, and even the sky showed signs of an imminent collapse.

Still, it would have been obvious to anyone that Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s avatar of will was slowly but surely being suppressed.

Boom!!

As the battle raged on, Su Yi suddenly pushed ahead, ruthlessly broke Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s defenses, and slapped him.

Divine Venerate Luo Heng flew backward with an audible crack, and his avatar of will churned.

“Is that all you’ve got?” Su Yi laughed dryly. “You’re even weaker than that newly ascended god!”

The sheer disdain in his voice made Divine Venerate Luo Heng bristle with anger. He said icily, “Cease your impudence, heretic! Allow me to show you this lofty one’s true strength!”

“Sure. Just make sure not to disappoint me,” said Su Yi.

“Wait!” Suddenly, Divine Venerate Xi Yue stepped in. “Daoist Brother, let’s end this here. If you attack with your full strength, you’re sure to exhaust your avatar of will’s reserves!”

Divine Venerate Luo Heng was instantly hesitant. His expression filled with uncertainty.

Ultimately, this wasn’t a physical body. Rather, it was an avatar condensed out of his will. It might have been incomparably mighty, but when it exhausted its power, it wouldn’t be able to recover it!

Next, Divine Venerate Xi Yue turned her attention to Su Yi. “Su Yi, you’ve already proven your strength, but you’d best rein it in a little. It’s not too late to end this! Forgive me if my words are grating to the ears, but if Daoist Brother Luo Heng goes all out, it’s unlikely to end well for you!”

All eyes were instantly on Su Yi and Divine Venerate Luo Heng.

But Su Yi just said coldly, “I hope you won’t take offense if I speak bluntly too. Why didn’t you try to dissuade him before the fighting began? It’s because you thought I was sure to lose. Now that the old-timer’s at a disadvantage, you’ve decided to step in. Don’t you think your behavior is rather inappropriate?”

“You…” Divine Venerate Xi Yue’s beautiful face was instantly overcast, and her ample chest heaved.

“If you aren’t convinced, you’re welcome to try me too,” Su Yi said casually.

The crowd was stunned. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that Su Yi would be this domineering!

The corners of Xi Ning’s lips twitched. She felt helpless and frustrated.

But at the same time, seeing her great aunt so infuriated and humiliated filled her with the inexplicable urge to laugh. He’s right! Earlier, Great Aunt made herself perfectly clear. She insisted that we remain bystanders. Now, here she is, trying to convince the two of them to stop fighting. Of course Fellow Daoist Su is angry. How could he not be?

“Great Aunt, let’s just do as you said earlier and… watch from the sidelines,” Xi Ning suggested. “Don’t be angry. This is just how Fellow Daoist Su is.”

Divine Venerate Xi Yue’s face alternated white and green. In the end, she snorted coldly. “I warned you out of the goodness of my heart. Since you insist on seeking death, I’ll just leave you to your fate!”

“Haha! Good! Very good!” Divine Venerate Luo Heng threw back his head and laughed. It would have been obvious to anyone that he was completely infuriated. “Who cares if my avatar of will is destroyed? It’ll be worth it so long as I snuff out this heretic!”

Boom!

He straightened his spine, and thick divine chains formed of purple lightning surged forth, weaving into a lightning domain behind him.

The wind and clouds shifted, and the entire landscape dimmed.

At that moment, Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s imposing aura expanded. He was completely different from before, and he shone as radiantly as the sun, illuminating everything in all ten directions.

“Did you see that? That’s the power of a Greater God’s avatar of will. Here in the Immortal Realm, he’s subject to the restriction of the Laws, and he cannot display his full strength, but he’s still far beyond ordinary Lesser Gods!” whispered Divine Venerate Xi Yue.

Boom!

Her voice hadn’t even finished echoing through the air when Divine Venerate Luo Heng attacked explosively.

His hands formed seals, and a coursing river of purple lightning ripped the skies asunder and descended upon Su Yi.

The sheer destructive power made the onlookers’ hearts quiver.

Su Yi’s sleeves billowed around him as the Sword of the Human Realm appeared in his grip. He leaped and met this attack head-on.

The battle paused briefly, but now, it raged on once more!

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi found himself in dire straits. Even with the Sword of the Human Realm, he was under terrifying pressure, and he looked wretched.

In stark contrast, Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s momentum was as grand as the heavens themselves. With every strike, thunder boomed and lightning flashed. He was like a heavenly god venting his endless fury and murderous intent.

There was no denying it. The strength Divine Venerate Luo Heng had on display was far greater than a newly minted god like Jiang Tai’e. He was terrifying to the extreme!

Xi Ning’s heart silently tensed. She could tell that Su Yi was in trouble, and his situation was perilous to the extreme. Divine Venerate Luo Heng could suppress him at any moment!

As if sensing her thoughts, Divine Venerate Xi Yue said calmly, “A’Ning, I won’t let you interfere, nor will I help you stop this battle. As you saw earlier, that boy did not appreciate my well-intentioned warnings. Worse, he responded with insults. He’s an utter scoundrel.”

Xi Ning’s heart sank, but she feigned calm. “I most certainly don’t think Fellow Daoist Su will lose. Great Aunt, I urge you not to speak prematurely.”

Divine Venerate Xi Yue couldn’t help but find this amusing. The silly girl obviously has no idea how strong Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s avatar of will is. She still thinks Su Yi can turn the tables, but there’s simply no way!

The others watched nervously as well.

Bang!

As the battle raged on, a swath of the dazzling purple lightning of the natural order slammed into Su Yi, tearing open the flesh of his back and burning his skin black. He almost fell from the sky.

“Die!” Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s eyes shone with murderous intent. He swung his palm like a knife and attacked furiously.

Xi Ning’s heart was on tenterhooks, and Luo Tiandu visibly lost his cool.

But it was then that the Sword of Proximity whooshed forth with an audible clang, cleaving through the sky. Incomparably tyrannical chaos sword qi descended.

Divine Venerate Luo Heng’s attack dispersed, and he was forced backward.

The crowd was stunned. Even Xi Ning gasped.

Divine Venerate Xi Yue exclaimed, “Is that the Sword of Proximity, one of the Nine Mysteries of Chaos? It’s a pity, but that won't be enough. The boy is still sure to lose.”

Sure enough, Divine Venerate Luo Heng snorted coldly and waved his sleeves. A spear swathed in lightning appeared in his grip, and he attacked once more.

“The Thunder Execution Spear!”

Luo Tiandu couldn’t help but sweat on Su Yi’s behalf. The Thunder Execution Spear was an Epoch Treasure his great uncle had refined personally, and it was terrifyingly strong!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of deafening impacts rang out.

Su Yi poured his strength into the Sword of Proximity and clashed with the Thunder Execution Spear.

He and Divine Venerate Luo Heng were instantly locked in fierce combat. Both Epoch Treasures displayed monstrous divine power.

In terms of sheer quality, the Sword of Proximity was obviously superior. It was, after all, one of the Nine Mysteries of Chaos.

However, Su Yi wasn’t capable of displaying its full strength. After all, he was only in the Great Unity Stage.

In stark contrast, when Divine Venerate Luo Heng used the Thunder Execution Spear, his divine majesty was so terrifying that it stirred up Laws of Thunder so violent and explosive as to blanket the sky and blot out the sun.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi’s offensive had been completely suppressed. All he could do was passively defend himself.

He was in grave peril!
