Chapter 911: The Dark Torchlight Illuminates the Ages

The old woman in the inky robes had white hair, and she gripped a Soul-Locking Hook. Her cultivation was in the mid-stage Profound Illumination Realm.

She was extremely powerful, and her body was shrouded in churning black smog. As she drew her Soul-Locking Hook, it danced madly through the air, streaking through the skies like black lightning and leaving intercrossing rifts in its wake.

These were the Laws of Execution Lightning. They were murderous and destructive.

The Laws of Execution Lightning were a first-rate Grand Dao Mysterious Truth of the Profound Dao.

When the old woman attacked, she suppressed the vicious majesty of the Soul-Swallowing Bird descending upon her. All it could do was struggle.

But after Su Yi cut down the silver-robed middle-aged man, he suddenly attacked her.

The old woman was instantly solemn. She waved the Soul-Locking Hook, sending radiant, explosive black lightning through the air.

Crunch!

The arc of lightning ripped through the sky, emanating a shocking, destructive aura.

Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of disdain.

Clang!

He slashed with Abstruse Celestial.

This attack could cleave through mountains and seas, sweeping through the world like a wave!

This was the profundity of the Rejoicing Sword Sutra!

When Su Yi poured the full extent of his mid-stage Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivation into this attack, its momentum was boundless. Its edge could cross mountains and rivers, and nothing could stand in its way!

Boom!

Sword qi filled the air and burst, exploding the black electricity formed of the Laws of Execution Lightning.

“How is this possible!?” The old woman in the ink-black robes couldn’t help but shout.

They’d clashed head-on, force against force, without the slightest flourish.

Yet a Spiritual Revolution Realm young man had relied purely on his swordsmanship and cultivation base to take her attack. This was simply astonishing!

When Su Yi decapitated Huo Zheng, they assumed that his sword hum had played a critical role in his victory.

Who could have imagined that Su Yi could use his mere Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivation base to clash with mid-stage Profound Illumination Emperors?

But before the old woman could come to her senses…

Kcch!

Sword light fell like a rain of stars, slamming into the region a hundred feet away from her.

There, the mid-stage Profound Illumination Emperor in gray fought two Soul-Swallowing Birds at once. He was obviously at a disadvantage.

When this slash descended, it caught him off guard, killing him on the spot and exploding him into pieces.

His soul had only just escaped from his fragmented corpse when a Soul-Swallowing Bird’s sharp claws took hold of it. The bird then opened its mouth and devoured him.

Blood flew through the air, and the man’s desperate, terrified shriek followed.

Everyone’s hair stood on end.

As the old woman in black fought, their opponent had killed an Emperor far away from her, entirely out of the blue. All three of the remaining Emperors’ expressions shifted in response.

Now, they finally understood why the Esteemed Black Crow had warned them about this young man from the ancient Cui Family.

There really was something strange about him!

Boom!

The grand battle raged on.

You Xue and the Iron Daoist fought above the nine heavens. One wielded the Burning Silence Ruler, like a demonic god emerging from the fires of purgatory.

The other was as majestic as a goddess, and although she fought barehanded, her every gesture brought with it incomparably tyrannical Torchlit Darkness saber qi. She fought so viciously that the Iron Daoist had no time to consider anyone else, and his heart shook.

He was well aware that, were it not for the Burning Silence Ruler, he would have long since lost to this terrifyingly strong woman.

Meanwhile.

Six Soul-Swallowing Birds attacked the remaining three Emperors in a frenzy, stirring up churning Netherworld Hell Thunder. Its force threatened to destroy both heaven and earth.

But Su Yi just shot forward and charged directly into the fray.

In the blink of an eye, he cut yet another Emperor down.

This time, he slew a short old man carrying a copper hammer. He was incomparably fierce, and he too was in the mid-stage Profound Illumination Realm.

But while beset on both sides by Soul-Swallowing Birds, he was in no way capable of handling Su Yi’s ambush. Abstruse Celestial cleaved through his chest and cut open his stomach.

His soul scattered and dispersed.

As Yuan?Linning?witnessed this grand, bloody battle, she couldn’t help but feel a bit anguished and bitter.

In the outside world, she was an Empress. The masses viewed her with awe, as if she were a deity.

But now, Yuan?Linning?realized that with her strength, she was no way qualified to even participate in this struggle.?If she did, she would be no use at all. Worse, she’d become a burden and drag Su Yi down…

Of course this cruel reality left Yuan Linning dejected!

“His Excellency Su is just too strong…”

The young Qing Mu’s eyes blazed with fervor, and he watched in a daze, as if he’d forgotten everything else.

He was in the Spiritual Revolution Realm too.

He’d never realized that someone of his cultivation could be so heaven-defyingly terrifying and strong!

‘Strong..?” Qing Teng, however, frowned in confusion.

Back in the day, the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force could cut Profound Serenity Emperors as if they were no more than mustard grass, never mind a paltry group of Profound Illumination experts!

Although the methods Su Yi currently displayed were heaven-defying, and although they would have dazzled any era he’d displayed them in, the gap between his current strength and his past self was unquestionably enormous.

The disparity was huge. How could Qing Teng not be confused?

Don’t tell me that absurd rumor was true, and that His Excellency has already reincarnated? When this occurred to Qing Teng, his heart shook violently, and he fell into a daze.

“Watch out!!” The old woman in black shouted frantically.

Only two Emperors remained. Her, and a man in purple. He was at the peak of the Profound Illumination Realm, and he was far stronger than the other.

But it was then that the man in purple found himself surrounded by four Soul-Swallowing Birds while Su Yi ambushed him from the side!

The old woman couldn’t possibly have saved him in time.

Because she herself was surrounded by two Soul-Swallowing Birds.

“Die!”

Su Yi’s calm voice rang out. At the same time, the humming of a sword emanated from the green-skinned gourd at his waist.

The purple-robed man stiffened, and his heart and mind felt a terrifying sense of suppression. Even his movements slowed.

In that moment, sword qi descended upon him, like the river of stars pouring down from the heavens.

Boom!

The purple-robed man’s body exploded, scattering blood and gore.

At the same time, the four Soul-Swallowing Birds descended upon him, ripping him completely to shreds and devouring his scattered flesh and soul in a mad frenzy.

Just like that, a peak Profound Illumination Emperor had died!

This brutal scene filled the old woman in black with abject terror, and the blood drained from her face.

But it was too late for her to flee.

The two Soul-Swallowing Birds fought without fear of death. No matter how severe their injuries, they firmly suppressed her movements, leaving her with no power to escape.

Meanwhile, Su Yi and the other four Soul-Swallowing Birds seized this opportunity to surround her.

“It’s over…” When the old woman saw this, she gave in to abject despair.

Nothing unexpected happened.

The mid-stage Profound Illumination Empress couldn’t withstand their joint onslaught, and she died where she stood.

Her body and soul were then reduced to food for the Soul-Swallowing Birds. action

Barely any time had passed at all, but the six Emperors who’d followed the Iron Daoist into the Little Necropolis had already perished!

As wondrous a feat as this was, Su Yi didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment.

Relying on his own strength, he could kill a mid-stage Profound Illumination Emperor in a one-on-one duel.

Alas, this time, there were too many Emperors involved, including a peak Profound Illumination Emperor to hold down the fort. This left Su Yi with no opportunity to fight with his own strength and enjoy a thrilling battle.

Of course, although he found it a pity, Su Yi wasn’t ashamed.

After all, he was still just a young Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator.

He’d achieved all this while faced with six Emperors. Even if he searched the entire world and all of history, he feared he’d find no other Spiritual Revolution cultivator capable of matching this feat!

……

The smell of blood permeated the fierce winds.

Although Stargazing Tower was in perfect shape, its surroundings were withered and destroyed.

Beneath the dome of heaven, the Iron Daoist and You Xue were locked in fierce combat.

Su Yi looked up, and his eyebrows rose. He could tell at a glance that You Xue’s strength far surpassed the Iron Daoist.

However, the Burning Silence Ruler was causing her enormous trouble. Even after all this time, she couldn’t destroy her far inferior opponent.

“Go,” Su Yi said softly.

It was just one word, but the six Soul-Swallowing Birds immediately took to the skies, beating their wings as they descended upon the Iron Daoist.

Would these terrifying creatures survive this attack, or would they die in battle? Su Yi didn’t care in the slightest.

The reason was simple.

The Book of?Diting?could control the Soul-Swallowing Birds in battle, but its effects could last twelve hours at most.?Once the allotted time was up, the Book of?Diting?would refine the birds completely to make up for its energy expenditures.

If not for this restriction, the Book of?Diting?would have been utterly terrifying, a true divine artifact.

If he could relentlessly seek out and capture terrifying lifeforms, then seal them within the book only to unleash them all when it came time to fight, how fearsome would that be?

Boom!

Six Soul-Swallowing Birds shot through the air.

The Iron Daoist was locked in combat with You Xue when he saw this. He couldn’t help but sigh to himself, and he inwardly decided to flee.

He’d already witnessed his companions’ deaths.

And he’d yet to gain any advantage in his battle against You Xue. Worse, she’d suppressed him this entire time.

The Iron Daoist was naturally aware that the trend was no longer in his favor. Thus, he decided to retreat without any hesitation.

“Open!” His shout shook the heavens as he fought with his life on the line, pouring the entirety of his cultivation base into the Burning Silence Ruler.

Boom!

Divine fire swept through the skies like an avalanche or tidal wave.

The three Soul-Swallowing Birds leading the charge caught on fire in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to ash.

And when this attack exploded toward You Xue, she was instantly solemn. The sensation of an impending threat smacked her right in the face.

But it was then that——

Clang!

The strange hum of a sword suddenly burst forth, like the sound of the Grand Dao emanating from beyond the heavens. It brought with it unsurpassed sword force.

As strong as the Iron Daoist was, his mind and soul couldn’t help but palpitate with fright. Terrifyingly, the hum suppressed even the blazing qi surging through him.

This sudden development made his hair stand on end, and he visibly lost his composure. This is bad!

You Xue, meanwhile, seized this opportunity to unleash her strongest ability without hesitation.

Kcch!

Her slender, lustrous hands formed a seal. The indistinct, illusory projection of a bronze lamp appeared, and its light grew into an illusory and ethereal patch of radiance that swept through the sky.

The Dark Torchlit illuminated the ages!

As if a lamp had illuminated a room long enshrouded in darkness.

Heaven and earth were instantly silent. The radiance of the Dark Torchlight was like a curtain of night blotting out the heavens and obscuring the sun.

The Iron Daoist stiffened. His eyes bulged, and his lips quivered as he sighed, “The Ghost Serpents’ Dao of Torchlit Darkness sure lives up to its reputation. But the one who killed me… wasn’t you, it was…”

The Iron Daoist lowered his head and gazed at the young man in blue standing in the air. His expression was incomparably complicated as he paused, seemingly putting every last drop of energy he had left into what he was about to say.

He spit the word through the gaps of his teeth.

“Him!”
