Chapter 828: Emperors Are Like Ants
A Spiritual Incarnation Realm kid dared snicker at them at a time like this? How impudent was he?
It was only because they couldn’t afford to let word of tonight’s operation leak that they hadn’t just squished him like an ant.
Su Yi said casually, “My apologies. It’s just that I found it quite ridiculous, and I truly couldn’t hold back my laughter.”
He said this as if it were a matter of course.
“....”
Fei Changting’s eyes shone with murderous light.
Cui Weizhong said hurriedly, “Fellow Daoist, please remain calm. Allow me to discipline the boy.”
He feared Fei Changting would kill Su Yi in a fit of rage. In that case, the Cui Family would undoubtedly discover tonight’s operation.
As he spoke, Cui Weizhong turned to face Su Yi. His aura surged forth like a tidal wave or avalanche, bearing down on Su Yi.
“Kneel!”
His voice boomed like thunder.
The terrifying pressure of a mid-stage Profound Illumination Emperor was enough to break any Spirit Dao cultivator’s spirit and force them to their knees.
At least, it should have been. However——
Su Yi didn’t even budge, and he looked perfectly composed. That terrifying pressure was silently neutralized as it swept past him, and it had no more impact than a gentle breeze.
“This…”
Cui Weizhong was so stunned that he almost dared not believe his eyes. Fei Changting and his companions looked stunned too.
He’s a Spirit Dao cultivator. How could he possibly resist the imposing aura of an Emperor?
“There’s something strange about that kid. Earlier today, he received Tantai Chi’s palm strike unharmed. Your imposing aura alone won’t be enough to deal with him,” Qu Mingwei suddenly interjected.
This declaration left the others visibly stunned.
Su Yi had blocked an Emperor’s attack as a Spirit Dao cultivator! That was an incredible achievement. Few, if any, of the Netherworld’s other Spirit Dao cultivators could have accomplished such a feat!
“Perhaps this is why Xue Huaning and Cui Chang’an think so highly of the boy,” Qu Mingwei said grimly. “However, even if his foundations and aptitude were far more heaven-defying, they wouldn’t be enough to let him act wildly in front of us!”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed down on Su Yi’s head from afar. “Be good and kneel!”
Boom!
The sky shook.
Dazzling silver light burst forth, permeated with the energy fluctuations of an early-stage Profound Illumination Emperor. It could crush an entire landscape with ease.
Su Yi raised his hand and tapped.
Whoosh!
A wisp of the mysterious and terrifying power of the formation surged forth, breaking through Qu Mingwei’s attack like an axe through bamboo.
Then, it continued ahead, its power undiminished, slamming ruthlessly into Qu Mingwei.
Bang!!
Qu Mingwei was caught entirely off guard. He flew back, landing several dozen feet away, his bones creaking and his face in the dirt, like a dog eating shit.
Everyone was visibly stunned.
An early-stage Profound Illumination Emperor had just been sent flying!?
“You’re seeking out your own humiliation.” Su Yi shook his head.
“The boy can control the power of the formation covering Heavenly Tripod Mountain! He must be a main-line descendant of the Cui Family!” Far above the mountain, that indistinct, stalwart figure bellowed, his voice full of rage and loathing.
“So that’s it.”
The group quickly understood, but their expressions were shifting and uncertain as they realized they’d underestimated this “ant” of a young man.
Su Yi, however, looked up at the distant, stalwart figure and said coolly, “You really are blind, you wicked creature. How could I possibly be a member of the Cui Family? Scram! Go back where you came from!”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, the thousands of blood-colored chains hanging from the mountaintop rose, then sliced through the air like the world-destroying lashes of a deity’s whip.
Bang!!
The stalwart figure, an incarnation of will, split into pieces and dispersed.
This scene left the group stunned, and their expressions shifted once more.
“You’re seeking death!” bellowed Fei Changting. He waved his fist at Su Yi, his hand shrouded in dark light. The blinding power of a Profound Dao Law permeated the air.
There was no doubt about it: this peak Profound Illumination Realm Denglong had already condensed a Profound Dao Law. His cultivation base was terrifying to the extreme.
Not even someone like Qu Mingwei could have blocked such a punch.
Su Yi laughed, then swung his sleeves.
Bang!
The power of the formation swept forth as a swath of gray, cleaving through this attack like a sharp sword.
Fei Changting staggered back, blood and qi churning and face alternating white and green with shock and rage.
Everyone was stunned.
They suddenly realized that as Su Yi stood there, the air around him was permeated with the invisible energy fluctuations of the formation. They were strange and inscrutable, yet perfectly coordinated with the power blanketing Heavenly Tripod Mountain.
There was no doubt about it. Earlier, before they’d noticed what was happening, the Spiritual Incarnation Realm Su Yi had somehow silently seized control of the formation covering Heavenly Tripod Mountain!
Furthermore, Qu Mingwei and Fei Changting’s misfortune made the others realize that this wasn’t looking good. Their expressions gradually darkened.
“In this place, you’re no more than ants in my eyes.” Su Yi swept his gaze across the group and laughed. “Furthermore, I can say with certainty that not one of you will escape today.”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he soared higher, stretched out his hand, and beckoned.
Boom!
The tens of thousands of blood-colored chains shook. Shocking energy fluctuations surged forth, condensing into a blood-colored Dao Sword in midair. It then landed in Su Yi’s outstretched palm.
The sword was three feet long and condensed entirely out of the profound and unfathomable power of the formation. It surged with blood-colored light, and misty radiance poured out of it like a waterfall, illuminating the place where Su Yi stood with its crimson glow.
This gave Su Yi’s tall, upright figure an additional terrifying aura.
The formation was called "the Heavenly Evil-Smiting Formation." In ancient times, the experts of the Infernal Palace had worked together to place it, and numerous generations of the Bureau of Adjudication’s Cui Family had enhanced and maintained it.
By now, the formation was already unimaginably powerful!
Thirty thousand years prior, Su Yi and Cui Longxiang worked together to rebuild the sealing formation of Heavenly Tripod Mountain. How could Su Yi not know the secret to circulating it?
“Fight together! Break his connection to the power of the formation!” Fei Changting said coldly.
“Got it!” The group nodded.
“Activate!” Fei Changting suddenly rose to his full height. Demonic flames soared into the air as he manifested three heads and six arms. Every hand gripped a bone saber as he charged through the air at Su Yi.
Six Heads, Six Arms!
The Heavenly Demon Bone Sabers!
When this peak Profound Illumination Emperor of the demonic path attacked, he used his killer moves right off the bat. His vicious power shook heaven and earth.
Boom!
As he shot forth, six Heavenly Demon Bone Sabers revolved. Dense saber qi surged forth, blanketing heaven and earth and slicing countless rifts in the air.
At the same time, the others took action.
Qu Mingwei’s sleeves billowed around him, and a blood-colored alms bowl appeared. As it took to the skies, tens of thousands of snow-white skeletons waved their claws and bared their fangs, their roars shaking the heavens. It was like an endless vision of hell.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Alms Bowl!
Cui Weizhong suddenly roared, his hands manipulating a ruler-like snow-white dagger. He stepped into the air, waves of Dao Light flowing around him and illuminating the world.
The Soul-Severing Blade!
The tall man in beast skins removed the three-meter spear from his back. As he approached, every footstep went off like lightning. He charged through the air with indomitable power. The three-meter spear burst with monstrous blue-green flames, and it seemed intent on incinerating the dome of heaven.
The Jadeflame?Divine Spear!
And the veiled woman in black gripped a blue whip. As she swung it, it cut through the dome of heaven like a thick, dazzling bolt of blue lightning. It was forceful and despotic, with shocking destructive power.
The Blue Lightning Soul-Shattering Whip!
As they fought, both the man in beast skins and the woman in black revealed terrifying late-stage Profound Illumination cultivation bases. Qu Mingwei and Cui Weizhong weren’t even remotely comparable.
When five Emperors attacked in unison, how terrifying was their divine majesty?
However——
The entire stretch of heaven and earth shook. Divine radiance surged forth and treasure light ran rampant, forming a boundless flood of destruction that swept toward Su Yi.
When an Emperor was angry, the heavens collapsed, the earth caved in, and blood flowed like a river.
Throughout history, whenever Emperors fought, the ground was left burnt and riddled with scars. Should the aftershock reach them, any living thing beneath the Imperial level had practically no hope of survival!
The Imperial combatants’ combined aura alone could instantly reduce those beneath the Imperial level to ash!
But in the face of these attacks, Su Yi shook his head.
It was true that his cultivation was, in the face of such an onslaught, entirely unworthy of notice. However, he now controlled the power of the Heavenly Evil-Smiting Formation?
This formation had existed since antiquity, suppressing the most heinous and terrifying malevolent spirits. Even now, none had ever escaped.
It was easy to imagine how terrifyingly strong it was.
It was no exaggeration to say that, even if a Profound Serenity Emperor were here, they wouldn’t escape suppression either!
Given the circumstances, how could Su Yi possibly fear the five Emperors’ joint attacks?
“Break!” Su Yi’s clothing billowed around him. He made no attempt to dodge, instead charging directly ahead. He swung the blood-colored formation sword up, then slashed furiously.
A swath of the surging power of the formation transformed into unstoppable sword qi, like the river of heaven breaking through a dam and pouring onto the mundane world.
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled, and space collapsed.
As the sword qi descended, it was as if it cleaved into a volcano. Monstrous Dao Light scattered, and currents of destructive energy swept forth with a bang.
The six Heavenly Demon Bone Sabers, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Alms Bowl, the Soul-Severing Blade, the Jadeflame Divine Spear, and the Blue Lightning Soul-Shattering Whip visibly trembled, producing deafening wails.
All five Emperors staggered back, and their joint attack dispersed.
One sword had cleaved through the joint attack of Five Emperors!
This overbearing scene left all five of them visibly stunned. The power of Heavenly Tripod Mountain’s formation far surpassed their initial estimate, and it seemed far too terrifying.
“I refuse to believe a Spiritual Incarnation cultivator can control such a high-level formation for long!” Fei Changting said, his tone sinister.
As he spoke, he attacked once more, swinging his six Heavenly Demon Bone Sabers and unleashing a shockingly murderous ultimate saber art.
The other Emperors didn’t slack off either. All of them surged with murderous intent, surrounding Su Yi with terrifying power and momentum.
All of them activated their strongest legacies, holding nothing back.
“So what if I’m outnumbered? So what if you’re Emperors? You’re still ultimately no more than eggs throwing yourselves against a rock,” Su Yi laughed dryly and approached, sword in hand. The blood-colored light of the formation sword shone upon his tall, upright figure, giving him an additional strange and mysterious aura.
Like an immortal amidst mortal dust, or a demon!
