Chapter 1255 - Ending the Past, Tricks Are in Vain
Yet now, it had been destroyed in less than fifteen minutes.
And by a Heavenly Longevity Realm World King at that!
This left the red-robed man in the lotus crown dumbstruck. He couldn’t calm down at all.
“You... How did you do that?” he couldn’t help but ask. He was truly curious; he couldn’t wrap his head around it.
“Try me, and you’ll find out,” said Su Yi as he emerged from the palace.
Overflowing sword intent surged around his tall, upright figure.
After slaying the thirty-six remnants of ascendants’ will, his cultivation base had advanced twice, going from the early stage of the Heavenly Longevity Realm to the late stage!
His soaring cultivation base resulted in a shocking transformation in his abilities.
Especially his Grand Dao Black Hole. Misty light surged therein, and his chaos-tree-like Root of Heaven and Earth was emblazoned with traces of the sources of all manner of Grand Daos.
The Root of Heaven and Earth was considered the strongest possible foundation one could achieve within the Three Realms of Heaven’s Ascension.
Profundities upon profundities, the gateway of mysteries and the undying god of the valley. This was the Root of Heaven and Earth.
Even Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings couldn’t necessarily forge a Root of Heaven and Earth within their Grand Dao Black Hole. Furthermore, Su Yi’s Root of Heaven and Earth was engraved with the power of his Dao.
This was an all-new transformation.
This meant that as his cultivation base advanced, the profundities of the Grand Dao within his Root of Heaven and Earth would grow, sprouting branches and growing leaves like a tree rising into the heavens!
Now that he’d broken through and his strength had increased, Su Yi felt a powerful urge to fight and see just how strong the Illusionist was!
“Wait.” The red-robed man flashed through the air, retreating into the distant skies and furrowing his brow. “We were fated to meet, so why can’t we cooperate? Why must we fight and kill each other?”
Su Yi directly ignored him. His sword swung through the air, forceful as lightning and quick as a beam of flying light.
Bang!
The red-robed man’s figure shattered into blood-colored light.
A moment later, he appeared in an altogether different stretch of sky.
However, his handsome face was now deeply murderous and sinister.
“I tried to do this the easy way. You’re just like that madman Shen Mu!”
As the red-robed man’s voice rang out, his sleeves billowed around him. His hands formed seals and struck the air.
Bang!
Like a deity beating a heavenly drum.
The sky split, and heaven and earth descended into an endless night. Countless stars shone like torches, decorating the dark curtain of heaven.
And the red-robed man transformed into a demonic god. He was now a thousand feet tall, with eyes that glowed like the sun and moon. He stood atop a dark cloud, with a body seemingly forged out of bronze. Demonic flames surged all over his skin.
He gripped a snowy halberd swathed in tribulation light.
Su Yi instantly looked surprised.
There was no doubt about it. This was one of the Illusionist’s secret arts. He’d recreated a scene from a bygone age, transforming himself into its main character.
A terrifying demonic god!
“O curtain of darkness, bless my body. O stars above, guide me!”
In the sky, the Illusionist shook his halberd, drawing upon the starlight filling the sky as he attacked Su Yi.
Su Yi rose into the air and clashed with him head-on.
The Illusionist’s halberd shook in his grip, drawing upon the stars as he slashed at Su Yi.
Su Yi soared into the air and clashed with him head-on.
Sword qi burst forth. Illusory images of reincarnation swept across the sky, shattering the starlight and colliding with that war halberd.
Clang!!!
Terrifying destructive power swept out from the point of impact.
The power of reincarnation spread, visible to the naked eye, reducing the entire curtain of darkness to rubble. The stars illuminating the night sky fell one by one.
The demonic god the Illusionist had transformed into staggered back several steps.
“Terminating the past? Don’t tell me... that’s the power of reincarnation!?”
The Illusionist was stunned.
Before he could react, Su Yi swung his sword and attacked.
Boom!
Within just a few blinks of the eye, the entire stretch of darkness split. The stars filling the sky collapsed and dispersed.
The thousand-foot-tall Illusionist reminiscent of a demon god popped like a soap bubble.
As the rain of light scattered, heaven and earth returned to their former state.
The red-robed, lotus-crowned Illusionist reappeared in the distant skies.
“I understand. It really is reincarnation!!” the Illusionist muttered to himself, the light in his eyes startling to behold. “No wonder you managed to kill your way out of the Jade Sea. No wonder you destroyed those long-lost divine weapons, and... it’s no wonder the remnants of will left in the Cloud Soaring Ascension Diagram were helpless against you...”
He understood. It was all because of reincarnation!
It could bring an end to the past and wipe away its power!
“You’ve only just understood now? Don’t you think you’re a bit too late?” Su Yi waved his sword and attacked once more.
Mysterious scenes of the Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested within his sword qi, blotting out the skies and obscuring the sun. It was as if heaven and earth had been severed, then cast into the cycle of reincarnation!
“Go!” The Illusionist’s voice boomed like spring thunder.
Boom!
A moment later, a pure land was reflected before him. Nirvanic light and the thunderous rumbling of Buddhist chanting filled the area.
Sovereigns, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats emerged from the holiness, far-reaching Buddhist light emanating from them as they attacked Su Yi en masse.
And the Illusionist transformed into a Buddha stepping upon a lotus platform. He had the dignified countenance of a Buddhist statue, and his hands formed seals as he bore down on Su Yi.
This scene was unquestionably terrifying.
As if Buddhas were visiting the mortal world to destroy all evil!
Su Yi couldn’t help but sigh to himself. The Illusionist’s Laws of the Grand Dao really are unbelievable. He can recreate long-vanished powers and let them appear in this world once more.
Truth and lies intertwine, each giving rise to the other!
This is no illusion that shatters to a single attack, but rather, recreated and re-manifested true power. That’s what makes it terrifying beyond measure.
This vision of Buddhas waging war really happened a long, long time ago. The Illusionist is simply using his power to recreate it.
I’m afraid even most Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings would struggle to contend with this power!
Su Yi had to admit to himself that if not for his mastery of reincarnation, defeating the Illusionist with his current power would have been difficult!
The Illusionist’s cultivation base was deep and unfathomable, and his power of the Grand Dao was incomparably strange. He was absolutely the strongest opponent Su Yi had encountered since undergoing reincarnation.
Fortunately, the mysteries of reincarnation countered the Illusionist’s power!
Su Yi exerted his will and swung his sword.
Sword qi whooshed through the air, cleaving through this vision of a Buddhist kingdom.
The sovereigns, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats were all frittered away by the power of reincarnation.
The Buddha the Illusionist had turned into split into pieces.
Boom!
The rain of light filling the skies scattered.
The red-robed, lotus-crowned Illusionist staggered backward.
Su Yi had destroyed his strange secret arts twice in rapid succession, leaving him injured. His handsome face was noticeably paler than before!
“According to the Contract of the Gods, no one can undergo reincarnation ever again. So why is it that you’ve mastered this power?” The Illusionist couldn’t stay calm. He was both alarmed and furious.
“I’ve been curious too. Why would the gods make a contract forbidding reincarnation?” said Su Yi. “Do you know what led to this?”
The Illusionist said coldly, “It’s the will of the gods. What need is there for a reason?”
“Oh,” said Su Yi. “And who are these gods you speak of?”
The Illusionist fell silent.
“You don’t know either?” Su Yi looked a bit disappointed.
The Illusionist snorted coldly, then said slowly and clearly, “The gods represent the supreme natural order, an ironclad rule. Their will encompasses the past, the present, and the future!”
“The power of the gods transcends that of different epochs and eras! How could just anyone comprehend a contract the gods put in place?”
His voice boomed like a temple bell, echoing throughout heaven and earth.
But Su Yi just laughed dryly. “What gods? If they stand in my way, I’ll have them disappear in a puff of smoke!”
The Illusionist found this utterly absurd. This guy seriously dares to blaspheme against the gods? Does he truly understand nothing?
Su Yi then continued, “As cultivators, we ought to cut down everything that stands in our way, whether it’s a god or a Buddha. Without that breadth of spirit, why even speak of cultivation or pursuing the Grand Dao?”
As he spoke, his sleeves billowed around him, and he swung his sword.
Boom!
A grand battle raged once more.
The Illusionist unleashed his secret arts, repeatedly recreating visions of the past.
It was like a magic trick. Unparalleled experts of the distant past and long-vanished unrivaled ferocious beasts reappeared...
But no matter how these visions changed, the power of reincarnation reduced all of it to nothingness!
Before long, the Illusionist was injured, and his face paled.
“Go!” Su Yi suddenly shouted, and a sword mountain manifested of the mysteries of reincarnation descended.
The Illusionist’s eyes shone with ruthlessness. “Do you really think that’s all I’m capable of?”
He flipped his palm, and a blazing jade ruler appeared in his grip. As he swung it, Su Yi’s sword mountain split and fell apart.
Boom!
Divine radiance ran rampant, throwing the sky into disarray.
This terrifying power sent Su Yi staggering back.
His gaze silently focused.
That fiery red ruler’s aura was extremely terrifying. It was emblazoned with strange and contorted markings, and the entire stretch of heaven and earth swayed beneath its pressure. Even the skies showed signs of burning.
It was then that the formerly silent altar at the center of the distant ritual grounds suddenly rumbled and boomed.
A rain of flying immortal light suddenly surged out of the surrounding area. Streaks of the power of the natural order descended with a bang.
All of this was to suppress that fiery red ruler!
The Illusionist was obviously exerting himself, and he was under unimaginable pressure. Blood flowed from the corners of his lips.
But he was clearly going all out, wielding the ruler heedless of the consequences.
His maddened gaze locked onto the distant Su Yi, and a cruel grin tugged at his lips. “If I kill you, I can seize the mysteries of reincarnation. So what if I have to pay a bit of a price?”
Boom!
He waved the fiery jade ruler and attacked through the air.
Heaven and earth were instantly swathed in dazzling, fiery light.
The flying rain of immortal radiance and power of the natural order shattered, unable to stop the Illusionist!
All of this only further highlighted how terrifying the jade ruler was. It was like a taboo divine artifact with the power to destroy both heaven and earth!
But in the face of all this, Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hit of pity.
Clang!
A boundless sword hum resounded through the air.
The illusory figure of the Sword of the Nine Hells swept through the air!
It seemed downright eager to feast. Its hums were impassioned, its sword force terrifying.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth was completely suppressed.
That flying rain of immortal light and power of the natural order froze, still and silent.
The Illusionist suddenly stiffened mid-charge.
But that fiery jade trembled and wailed mournfully in his grip!
