Chapter 1163: The Temple Master!
His sword qi instantly crumbled.
And Zhang Bailings enormous hand continued ahead, its power undiminished as it reached for him from afar.
Like a cage suppressing all of creation!
Su Yis pupils silently constricted, and he swung his sword with all his might.
All of a sudden, sword qi intercrossed, and a deafening impact rang out.
It took a full nine slashes before Su Yi managed to cleave through the giant hands power.
Impressive! But no matter how heaven-defying your strength, its useless against me! Zhang Bailing burst into laughter, then charged explosively forward once more.
His fingers hooked, bringing with them the stinging, radiant light of his Laws as they reached ruthlessly for Su Yis shoulder.
Su Yi dodged.
Boom!
The space hed been standing in mere moments prior exploded, the air thrown into disarray.
Zhang Bailing really was just too strong. That World King-level power could have easily eradicated any expert of the Profound Dao. He seemed utterly unshakeable.
Clang!!!
Before long, a startling impact rang out. Su Yi was forced several hundred feet back, the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos shaking in his grip.
What is a World King? A World King is one whos stepped onto the Path of Heavens Ascension, with the power to rule an entire star realm. They can kill an Emperor with a snap of their fingers. Su Xuanjun, with your measly Profound Unity Realm cultivation, you took two of my attacks without dying. Thats worth taking pride in, Zhang Bailing said leisurely.
He attacked once more with the majesty of a god, tyrannical and absolute.
Su Yis brow furrowed.
There was no doubt about it. With his current cultivation base, the gap between him and a true World King was insurmountably huge. It was difficult to fight back.
In the time that followed, Su Yi fought with everything he had, but he struggled against Zhang Bailings onslaught, and he was forced repeatedly back.
Ancestor Peng and the others hearts clenched. They were overcome with anxiety. Wordless grief and indignation rose in the old-timers hearts.
If Su Xuanjun lost
The Wilds world of cultivation really would be finished!
When Xue Zining and the other World Kings saw this, they couldnt help but look pitying, and they shook their heads.
No matter how heaven-defying Su Xuanjun was, he was ultimately just an Emperor. How could he possibly overcome the gap in cultivation and duke it out with World Kings?
No matter what else we might say about him, the Temple Masters reincarnation has held out this long. Thats already terrifying. Even in the depths of outer space, that makes him unique. No other Emperor can compare, said Mo Changkong. And all of this proves how unbelievable the secrets of reincarnation and Dark and Gold Essence are. When we control these powers, what need will we have to fear failing to achieve further transformations to our cultivation base?
The World Kings hearts stirred, and their eyes lit up.
Boom!
Meanwhile, Su Yi was forced back once more. This time, he flew a full thousand feet back before stabilizing himself, and the void collapsed beneath his feet.
I really cant do it yet perhaps Ill be able to fight World Kings when I reach the peak of the Profound Unity Realm
After taking the time to probe his limits, he was now fully aware of the gap between him and a World King.
Zhang Bailing, can you do it or not? Xue Zining was starting to run out of patience.
Having a woman question like that left Zhang Bailing feeling humiliated. He snorted coldly, Whats the rush? Ill capture him now!
His thin frame suddenly rose to his full height, and his majestic aura soared.
The surrounding starry void shook, and everything dimmed.
The dense power of the Laws arced through the air like resplendent divine light, spreading outward with Zhang Bailing at its center.
Then, he stepped forward, appearing before Su Yi seemingly out of nowhere, and swung his palm.
Kneel!
Boom!
Zhang Bailings palm descended like the hand of heaven.
That tyrannical power left Ancestor Peng and the others visibly astonished to the point that they could barely breathe.
How is he supposed to block that!?
But a moment later, an unbelievable scene unfolded
Zhang Bailings right hand stopped while it was still three feet from Su Yis head. An invisible power had stopped it.
It couldnt advance even an inch further!
Hm? Zhang Bailing was stunned. Even a Heavenly Longevity World King would have taken severe damage from that.
But its like my hand struck an unmovable iron plate.
He couldnt so much as scratch Su YI.
This Xue Zining and the others were stunned too, and their pupils constricted. They hadnt anticipated this unbelievable scene at all.
A mid-stage Heavenly Longevity World King, yet here you are, bullying my reincarnation. Arent you ashamed of yourself? Su Yi said casually as he gazed at Zhang Bailing from close quarters.
Zhang Bailing was instantly startled. He cast all other thoughts aside and retreated explosively back.
But he was one step too late.
Su Yi casually stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Bailing by the throat, with the same casual ease as when he reached for something in his pocket.
Everyone was dumbstruck, and their minds went blank.
Earlier, Su Yi had been suppressed so badly that he couldnt fight back at all.
But now, one light, airy palm strike had been enough to capture Zhang Bailing!
A lofty World King expert now seemed as pathetic and helpless as a baby chicken! The disparity was so enormous that Ancestor Peng and the others almost thought they were hallucinating.
This is bad! Xue Zining and the other World Kings hearts quivered as they realized that something was amiss.
Su Yi seemed to have become an entirely different person. His entire body emanated a broad-minded, composed, unfettered charm.
Even just standing there casually, he seemed like a god or immortal transcending the heavens. He seemed distant and unattainable, lofty and untouchable.
When they replayed what Su Yi had just said, Xue Zining and the other World Kings gasped. They were starting to understand.
Who Who are you!? Zhang Bailing cried out.
Someone had him by the throat, and his face flushed red. His cultivation base had been suppressed, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.
You came here targeting me, didnt you? So how come you dont recognize me?
It was as if Zhang Bailing had been struck by lightning. His eyes widened. You Youre the Temple Master!?
The Temple Master!!
It was as if the title were a magical invocation. Xue Zining and the others shuddered, their expressions changing.
In the stars beyond the Wilds, even leaders of prominent sects and sovereigns of their respective star realms viewed the Temple Master with deep dread, let alone people like them!
Su Yi shook his head slightly, then answered honestly, No, what youre seeing now is merely a remnant of power I left behind back then.
A remnant of his past lifes power?
Xue Zining and the others looked at each other, then inwardly sighed in relief.
Oh? Do you think youll be able to beat me after all? laughed Su Yi.
.... The crowd had nothing to say to that.
But Zhang Bailing took a deep breath and said gravely, Esteemed Temple Master, if you spare my life, I solemnly swear not to oppose your reincarnation ever again!
Oh? said Su Yi. Do you really think youll be worthy of being his enemy in the future?
This light, casual question contained no overt mockery, but in Zhang Bailings ears, it couldnt have been any more disdainful.
His face was instantly ashen, and he hissed, But if you kill me, the entire Primordial Unity Daoist Sect will do everything in its power to get revenge!
Su Yi laughed. Its best that way. Being invincible is, ultimately, far too lonely. Having a few enemies along the way means more opportunities for my reincarnation to polish his Dao of the Sword.
???
But then, Su Yi sighed, seemingly to himself. Alas, youre just a pack of idiots. The Tailor is manipulating you, but you dont even realize it. How foolish indeed.
Manipulating us? Zhang Bailings eyes widened.
Off in the distance, the other World Kings were bewildered and uncertain too, but Su Yi didnt explain any further. Theres not much time left. Ill send you lot on your way first.
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air
Zhang Bailing exploded like a crimson firework blooming in the void. Then, he disappeared completely.
Just like that, a Heavenly Longevity Realm World King had perished!
Death approached before he could even react, and not even a trace of his corpse remained. Hed been reduced completely to ash.
This bloody scene immediately astonished everyone present.
Su Yi then turned around to look at Xue Zining and the others. When he spoke, he sounded as casual as if he were commenting on the weather. I promise that if you run, youll only die even quicker.
Xue Zining and the others looked at each other, their expressions unprecedentedly solemn.
Zhang Bailings death had thoroughly agitated them. They really did feel the impulse to run away.
But Su Yis words made them forcefully squash the impulse.
Because the man they were up against was no longer Su Yi, nor was he Su Xuanjun. This was truly the Temple Master!
Even if this was just a remnant of the power of his past life, they could in no way afford to underestimate him.
My power will only last ten minutes. I just dont know if you can hold out that long, said Su Yi, gently flicking the flat of the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos. Attack me, and Ill grant you each a dignified end.
Xue Zining took a deep breath. Can we repent, admit defeat, and leave with our lives?
Su Yi shook his head. Death is the price you must pay for what youve done.
Attack together! This is just a remnant of the Temple Masters power. I refuse to believe that we cant fight him if we work together! Mo Changkong said gravely.
The World Kings eyes glinted with ruthless light. All of them nodded.
Boom!
A moment later, they attacked directly, drawing upon the treasures theyd kept in reserve, fighting with their lives on the line.
The void of outer space was instantly in chaos, rumbling and booming. The nearby stars swayed as if about to fall, or as if they couldnt withstand this level of power.
It was like a vision of gods going to war, fighting amongst the stars, their divine majesty shaking both heaven and earth!
In the face of their encirclement, a complex light shone in Su Yis gaze.
This is perhaps the last time Ill ever fight in this world But one day, my reincarnations attainments in the Dao of the Sword will surpass mine! Its enough!
As he muttered to himself, Su Yi attacked.
He took a step forward, and
Boom!
The river of stars swayed, and the void was suddenly silent on all sides. Overflowing, unstoppable, unsurpassed sword intent suppressed it completely.
Xue Zining and the others treasures and secret arts were instantly restricted. They froze in space, unable to move.
And the World Kings themselves? They were under terrifying suppression, their movements as slow as if they were carrying mountains on their backs while standing in a swamp.
No! They visibly lost their composure and cried out in alarm and terror.
They would never have thought that even when they attacked together, going all out, theyd seem so weak and ineffectual against the Temple Masters reincarnation.
That unsurpassed sword force alone left the World Kings unable to fight back!
Meanwhile, off in the distance, Su Yi swung the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos through the air.
Eighteen World Kings, including Xue Zining, Mo Changkong, Yu Baichuan, split into pieces, their bodies blooming like crimson fireworks.
Beautiful, yet bleak.
Piping hot blood painting a startling, soul-stirring scene in the void of outer space.
