Chapter 349: A Myth of the Present Era

The Qi Annihilation Divine Art should not be used lightly because each deployment consumes a significant amount of soul power and requires recondensation.

Originally, Su Yi disdained using this technique against these opponents.

But now, in order to kill the fleeing Wind Drifter, Su Yi had no choice but to use his trump card.

Thousands of zhang away.

The Wind Drifter sensed the danger and immediately activated his cultivation, employing various defensive spells.

However, in the face of the ethereal green small sword that appeared out of nowhere, all of his defensive measures seemed futile, as if they didn't exist.

"The Soul Annihilation Secret Sword!?"

The Wind Drifter managed to let out a cry of astonishment before his soul was struck by the green small sword.

Since advancing to the Innate Martial Ancestor realm, Su Yi's divine consciousness had become terrifying. He could extend it hundreds of zhang away, and his soul power was incredibly refined through the cultivation of the "Transforming Into Freedom Scripture."

The green small sword unleashed by the Qi Annihilation Divine Art was specifically designed to kill the divine souls of elemental cultivators. Caught off guard, how could the Wind Drifter withstand such an attack?

In an instant, the Wind Drifter's figure flickered, and the radiance in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

In that moment, the green small sword cleaved his soul into two halves. In the face of this intangible soul attack, even overwhelming cultivation and indestructible physical bodies were rendered useless.

"I never expected that I would meet my demise before witnessing the arrival of that glorious era..."

The Wind Drifter's face showed unwillingness as his figure fell from the void to the ground.

Bang!

Dust filled the air, and the vitality within him had ceased.

This bodysnatcher had met his end.

Above the void, Su Yi stood with folded hands, proudly overlooking the heavens and earth.

Witnessing this scene, everyone, regardless of their identity, was shocked into silence.

The six Yinlong members of the Hidden Dragon Mountain from the Great Zhou Dynasty were like a powerful anchor of the imperial family, guarding the territories of the Great Zhou for countless years.

Yet today, they were all exterminated by Su Yi alone above the Su Clan's territory!

It was as if the backbone of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been broken!

Yun Zhongqi, the supreme elder of the Moon Wheel Sect, the foremost figure in the Great Wei Dynasty in the Nascent Soul Realm, capable of influencing the entire country.

Ji He, the chief elder of the Arhat Hall in the Upper Forest Temple of the Great Qin Dynasty, a figure who was in no way inferior to Yun Zhongqi, had made a name for himself over the years.

This time, both of them led delegations to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but today, they each met their bitter end, becoming stepping stones beneath Su Yi's feet!

In addition to the Wind Drifter and Huo Song Zhenren, a total of ten terrestrial immortals who had the power to influence the territories of the Great Qin, Great Wei, and Great Zhou three countries had died at the hands of Su Yi.

Who wouldn't be astonished by such a remarkable record?

Looking back at the past years, observing the world, this battle could be described as unprecedented and unparalleled, unique in the world!

Everyone realized that from today onwards, Su Yi's name would spread like a storm throughout the three countries of the Great Zhou, Great Qin, and Great Wei, becoming known to countless martial artists.

Likewise, the waves caused by this extraordinary battle were destined to ripple throughout the entire world!

...

In the void, Su Yi swept his gaze around and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me, Su Yimou?"

From all directions, no one answered.

Only Su Yi's indifferent voice echoed in the heavens and earth.

"Unfortunately, one managed to escape."

Su Yi lamented.

He had sensed earlier that there was a formidable individual lurking in the crowd from a distant location.

However, that person quietly left before the battle concluded.

If Su Yi's guess was correct, that person was Ren Chongyang, the third disciple of Liuhuo Zhenjun, the supreme elder of the Heavenly Hidden Sect.

A few days ago, Hongji Monk had warned him that Ren Chongyang had arrived in the Yujing City under the orders of his master.

Hence, Su Yi made such a deduction.

Soon, Su Yi looked towards Mu Xi and the others and said, "Please help me collect the spoils of war."

Having said that, Su Yi turned and left.

The grudges between the Su family of Yujing City had been settled, and the major enemies had all perished. There was no need to stay any longer.

The most important task was to consolidate his cultivation by returning to the Songfeng Cottage after breaking through to a new realm.

Watching Su Yi's figure leave--

Everyone present suddenly awakened from their astonishment, one by one.

At that moment, the oppressive atmosphere was shattered, replaced by a clamor of discussion that reverberated like a boiling pot.

"Who could have imagined that Lord Su's brilliance would reach such heights!?"

Someone sighed.

"To defeat Su Hongli first and then kill a group of terrestrial immortals, this is too terrifying..."

Someone murmured in disbelief.

"This battle today will undoubtedly change the landscape of the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing unforeseen turbulence!"

Someone exclaimed.

Before the onset of this great battle, the conflict between Su Yi and the Su family had already captured the attention of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

But who could have imagined that when this battle truly unfolded, it would be so intricate and thrilling?

"Do you think Su Yi might truly be a celestial being descended from the heavens? Otherwise, how could he kill so many terrestrial immortals in the realm of martial cultivation?"

"I'm even more curious, who in this world is capable of being an enemy to Su Yi?"

The discussions continued to echo.

And as they listened to these discussions and witnessed the shock on the faces of the martial artists, Yue Shichan, Ge Changling, and others realized that after this battle, Su Yi's status in the hearts of these secular warriors was no different from that of a true contemporary legend!

"To use the Su family's defeat as the foundation and the terrestrial immortals as stepping stones to forge an unbeatable momentum, what an impressive Su Yi!"

Master Yunlang couldn't help but applaud and exclaim, "Such a comparison, such a peerless talent, there are likely very few in the entire Great Xia Dynasty!"

He came from the East Huajian Sect of Daqin, with a noble status and rich experience, yet it was also the first time he had witnessed such an unprecedented and extraordinary battle.

Especially the strength displayed by Su Yi in the battle made even this old guy feel inferior!

Beside Master Yunlang, Lansuo's smile was radiant and bright as she said, "I never expected my savior to be so formidable!"

Not far away, Mu Xi, Puyi, and others had already started to take action, helping Su Yi collect the spoils of war.

There were many spoils, all left behind by the terrestrial immortals, and every one of them was a rare treasure.

But no one dared to covet or snatch them.

Though the spoils were tempting, they were also extremely dangerous to handle. Who would dare to steal food from Su Yi's mouth?

...

Moonwheel Sect.

A soul lamp enshrined in the forbidden hall of the rear mountain suddenly extinguished.

It was a trace of divine soul power left by Yun Zhongqi. In the entire Moonwheel Sect, only a few terrestrial immortals had the qualifications to enshrine a soul lamp here.

But today, the soul lamp belonging to Yun Zhongqi had gone out!

On this day, the entire Moonwheel Sect trembled, and countless disciples and successors were startled and incredulous.

The supreme elder, Yun Zhongqi, who led the delegation to the Great Zhou Dynasty, had actually perished?

...

Daqin's Shanglin Temple.

A mournful bell sound emanated from the depths of the Luohan Hall.

A senior monk trembled and cried out, "Elder Jihe has passed away!"

The entire Shanglin Temple was alarmed, and everyone was grief-stricken.

...

Qianlong Sword Sect.

When the news of Fengliu and Huosong Zhenren's deaths spread, the sect's Master Nie Xingkong, who had been in seclusion for years, broke through the barriers and emerged.

...

Terrestrial immortals were a major force, even pillars of a nation!

With such powerful beings, like the pinnacle forces standing above the secular world, they were enough to deter a region, rule over a land, and protect a nation's territory.

But once terrestrial immortals fell, whether it was any major force or even the power of a nation, they would all suffer from the impact and instability

Just like the Su family in the Imperial City of Yujing, with the death of Su Hongli, such a top-tier aristocratic family entrenched in the Great Zhou Dynasty was destined to plummet and become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other powers!

But today, Su Yi single-handedly killed more than ten terrestrial immortals in one breath, almost wiping out the Yuan Dao cultivators who held their ground in the Hidden Dragon Mountain. One can imagine the immense impact and shock this caused.

For the Great Zhou royal family, it was no different from losing their main support!

"Is Su Yi being too selfish in doing this? By killing the powerhouses of Hidden Dragon Mountain, who will protect the Great Zhou in the future? What will happen if the Great Zhou is attacked by foreign enemies?"

Similar voices emerged, suggesting that Su Yi's actions were too ruthless and he completely disregarded the potential consequences.

Inside the palace, when the news of the deaths of Zhou Changyi and the other five Hidden Dragons reached the current Zhou Emperor, he clenched his fist tightly and his expression fluctuated.

The national teacher, Hong Canshang, also stood there in a daze, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

In today's battle, neither he nor the Zhou Emperor personally went, but they were constantly paying attention to the developments of the battle.

When they learned about the duel between Su Yi and Su Hongli, both of them were shocked and unable to remain calm, displaying rare signs of losing composure.

They never expected that Su Hongli had so many hidden cards and such terrifying strength.

What surprised them even more was that in the end, the victor was Su Yi!!

This kind of news took a long time for them to calm down and reluctantly accept.

But when the news of Zhou Changyi's death and the others reached them, whether it was the Zhou Emperor or Hong Canshang, they could no longer control their emotions and completely lost their composure!

The hall fell into silence.

The Zhou Emperor suddenly gasped for breath several times, then slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the hall, filled with an incredible sense of relief.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, gripping his hands tightly in excitement, saying, "For so many years, the mountain that has been pressing on us has finally collapsed!"

Hong Canshang's expression became complex as he said, "Your Majesty, without those Hidden Dragons, who will help the royal family suppress the Qianlong Sword Sect? Who will intimidate the martial artists of the world on your behalf? Who... will help the Great Zhou deter the two countries of Da Wei and Da Qin?"

The Zhou Emperor fell silent immediately.

After a while, his gaze became resolute, and he said firmly, "With Su Yi in Great Zhou, one person alone can intimidate the entire world!"

Hong Canshang couldn't refute.

Through this battle, Su Yi had already proven how terrifying his strength was. With him, it was indeed enough to intimidate all enemies, both within and outside the Great Zhou!

But...

Hong Canshang couldn't hold back and said, "Your Majesty, with Su Yi's temperament, he would never submit to anyone's authority. Perhaps he won't be willing to serve you... "

The Zhou Emperor interrupted without hesitation, "I am well aware of that. I don't expect Su Yi to serve me, but I hope to establish a positive relationship with him. That would be enough!"

Hong Canshang couldn't help but ask, "How can we establish such a relationship?"

A slight smile appeared on the Zhou Emperor's lips as he replied, "Master, have you forgotten? The relationship between Xiaoliu and Su Yi is quite good. As long as he maintains a good relationship with Su Yi, it will be fine for him to take charge of the Great Zhou in the future!"

Hong Canshang was stunned.

Only then did he realize that the Supreme Ruler of the Great Zhou had long been plotting this in his heart!
