NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1748: Unfathomable
The silver-haired man was so furious that steam billowed from the seven apertures of his face, and his entire body quivered.
He’d been waiting a long, long time to enter the Immortal Realm.
Now, after much difficulty, the moment he’d been waiting for had finally arrived. All he had to do was get his foot through the portal… but then, someone had to go and ruin it!
The divine son practically went mad with anger. But to survive, he had no choice but to give up and retreat back into the spacetime tunnel.
Boom!
The moment he retreated, the spacetime portal collapsed, transforming into a turbulent flood of spacetime power and dissipating.
It was then that the silver-haired man saw the person who’d ruined his plans: a young-looking man in blue robes.
“Little bastard! I, Lu Feng, will remember you!” said the silver-haired man, his face ashen. Murderous intent seethed around him.
Crunch! Crack!
The spacetime tunnel split. Fragments of spacetime shot past Lu Feng’s face, leaving bloody gashes in his cheeks. Terror coursed through him, and he turned and left, no longer daring to delay.Shortly after he disappeared, the tunnel through time, space, and countless worlds crumbled and disappeared.
……
The dome of heaven was in upheaval. Turbulent spacetime power ran rampant.
One slash had destroyed the ritual grounds, shattered the altar, broken the illusory giant tree, and crushed the spacetime portal hovering in the sky!
This series of events had completely ruined the church’s plans to usher in a divine son!
Meanwhile, on the ground, the leader of the Church of All Spirits practically went mad with fury. He felt as if someone had thrust a knife into his chest; it hurt so badly that he felt that he might explode.
No one else knew how great a price he’d paid over the years to usher in Divine Son Lu Feng. Yet now, all of that effort and sacrifice had gone to waste!
The sect leader felt as if he were about to go completely insane.
“Bastard!” The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s face was ashen, and his entire body seethed with murderous intent.
He was enraged too. He too would never have expected that a streak of sword qi would appear to ruin everything just as their plan was about to come to fruition!
“Who did that? The timing of that slash was simply vicious! Impressive!” exclaimed the Zhuyou Great Peng.
The Divine Fortune Teller was stunned, too. He’d originally planned to use one of his secret treasures to escape with the Zhuyou Great Peng. He could never have anticipated this sudden, shocking variable!
Both the sect leader’s plan and the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s schemes came to nothing!
When the Divine Fortune Teller saw them freak out and curse, he barely resisted the urge to laugh. This was what they meant when they said that heaven’s plans superseded the plans of men!
“Sect Leader!!”
Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance. All eyes turned toward the source of the voice.
There, beneath the dimly lit skies, they saw a tall, upright figure sauntering their way. He was holding someone else aloft.
These were none other than Su Yi and High Chief Libationer Wei Xun!
The Zhuyou Great Peng’s eyes widened. “Why is it that Su Yi guy again?!”
The Divine Fortune Teller’s eyes flashed. “Don’t you think he arrived at just the right time? We’re in for a spectacle now!”
His voice was tinged with sadistic glee. The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign had participated in the Battle of Eternal Night!
And now, Wang Ye’s reincarnation had returned!
……
Heaven and earth were silent. The turbulent currents of spacetime power were gradually fading away.
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign watched as Su Yi approached from afar. His eyes blazed with murderous intent. “Was that attack just now your work?”
Su Yi looked at him strangely. “Of course.”
Wei Xun cried out, “Sect Leader, this is Su Yi! That unrivaled Immortal Lord who killed all those Immortal Kings! And today, he fought his way to Celestial Palace Mountain by himself! The Church of All Spirits… has been destroyed!”
The rims of his eyes were tinged red with grief and fury.
The sect leader’s mind buzzed, and his hands and feet quivered. The Church of All Spirits… is gone!?
Their plans to usher in the divine son had been ruined, and now, even the sect he’d founded was gone. This series of shocks was so much that for all his experience facing adversity, he almost coughed up blood. His entire body quivered with anger.
Su Yi?
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression shifted. He was suddenly bewildered and uncertain.
Moments prior, he’d been overcome with fury and eager to vent his murderous intent, yet now, he forced it all back down!
The Divine Fortune Teller and Zhuyou Great Peng exchanged glances, their expressions strange. So, the Church of All Spirits is already history…
Suddenly, the leader of the Church of All Spirits bellowed, his eyes bloodshot, “Wei Xun, were you the one who led him here?”
Wei Xun’s expression shifted. He steeled himself and tried to explain, “Sect Leader, I…”
The sect leader felt a tidal wave of anger rise within him. “I said, were you the one who brought him here?”
Wei Xun hung his head in silent acknowledgment.
The leader of the Church of All Spirits was so furious that his teeth almost shattered. “I ought to kill you, you old bastard! If not for you, the divine son would have smoothly entered the Immortal Realm!!”
“Want to kill him? I’ll help you,” said Su Yi. Then, just like that, he snapped Wei Xun’s neck.
Crunch!
The sound of cracking bones rang out.
Wei Xun looked completely flabbergasted. He’d planned to lead Su Yi here to his death. Who’d have thought this would happen?
But then, all awareness fled him, and his life force flowed away. He knew no peace, even in death.
The sect leader’s pupils constricted, and he finally managed to calm himself down. Something isn’t right here. He’s just an Immortal Lord, yet he crushed the Church of All Spirits and captured a peak Miracle Realm Immortal King like Wei Xun alive, and just now, he sent me flying with a single slash!
What a terrifying opponent!
“Daoist Brother Spherical Heavens, I’ll have to ask you to step in and kill this person for me. I promise to help you remove the power of divine misfortune afterward!” the leader of the Church of All Spirits said gravely.
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s eyelids twitched. He said expressionlessly, “You control treasures bequeathed to you by a god. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of an Immortal Lord?”
The leader of the Church of All Spirits frowned. “Daoist Brother, as I’m sure you can see, he just ruined the divine son’s plans. His crimes are unforgivable. If you destroy him now, you’ll have gotten revenge on the divine son’s behalf. What need will you have to fear failing to remove the power of divine misfortune in the future?”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign laughed coldly. “The divine son won’t be able to enter the Immortal Realm anytime soon. Why should I get revenge on his behalf?”
“You…” The sect leader glowered, his expression instantly overcast.
Su Yi witnessed the whole exchange, and he couldn’t help but laugh. The way he saw it, the leader of the Church of All Spirits and Ol’ Spherical Heavens were like stray dogs turning on each other. It was a ridiculous sight.
Bang!
Su Yi tossed Wei Xun’s corpse to the ground and laughed. “How about… you two duke it out to decide who fights me first?”
His tone was rife with mockery.
The Divine Fortune Teller and Zhuyou Great Peng couldn’t help but chuckle. It was obvious that both the sect leader and the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign were afraid of Su Yi!
The Zhuyou Great Peng didn’t understand why, however. Only the Divine Fortune Teller knew that the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign had picked up on the clues and guessed Su Yi’s true identity!
Otherwise, there was no way that ruffian would have forced his anger back down like this!
Indeed, even in the face of Su Yi’s blatant mockery, the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign did nothing.
His eyes flashed, and he said to the sect leader, “You’re welcome to go ahead and fight him. If anything unexpected happens, I won’t remain a bystander!”
The leader of the Church of All Spirits flipped his palm, and a black talisman floated into the air. He said coldly, “Daoist Brother, I think we’d best fight together. After all, if anything happens to me, you can forget about ridding yourself of divine misfortune in this lifetime!”
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression darkened, but just as he was about to say something…
Clang!
The explosive hum of a sword rang out.
Su Yi, meanwhile, disappeared into thin air.
The leader of the Church of All Spirits and the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign each reacted differently.
The sect leader crushed the black talisman without hesitation. Terrifying, taboo power surged forth, transforming into blood-red armor and covering him completely.
A new, blood-red spear appeared in his grip, and he thrust it through the air.
Boom!
The sky collapsed on all sides as the explosive power of a deity swept outward.
This strike was sufficient to threaten even Great Realm experts!
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign immediately arrived beside the Divine Fortune Teller and reached for his throat.
Everything happened at once! The leader of the Church of All Spirits and the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign seemed to have a tacit understanding. One would attack their enemy, while the other captured the Divine Fortune Teller. Their cooperation was seamless.
It would have been obvious to anyone that despite their apparent dispute, they’d actually long since reached an agreement!
When Su Yi attacked, they set their games aside and launched a full-force counterattack without hesitation!
Alas, in the end, they miscalculated.
By the time the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign attacked, the Divine Fortune Teller and Zhuyou Great Peng had inexplicably disappeared.
It was as if they’d evaporated. The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s determined attack hit nothing but air.
Practically simultaneously, a shocking, heaven-shaking impact rang out.
Su Yi appeared in the sky above the leader of the Church of All Spirits. When he swung his sword, the sheer, tyrannical force split the sect leader’s blood-red spear down the midline!
Sword qi swept outward, sending the sect leader flying back. Even the armor covering him quivered.
His expression filled with shock and disbelief.
He was using a treasure bequeathed to him by his god. It was called the Crimson Battle Gear. The taboo power of the deity manifested armor and a spear. Although the sect leader was just an Immortal King, when he equipped this treasure, he could threaten even Great Realm experts.
Yet now, he’d been forced back in a single attack!
Even the red spear split!!
It was simply unbelievable.
Meanwhile, the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression was extremely unsightly.
He’d originally planned to take the Divine Fortune Teller hostage, then work with the sect leader to take down their opponent.
But the Divine Fortune Teller was already on guard and one step ahead of him!
“I said it, didn’t I? Ol’ Ruffian Spherical Heavens is as insidious as ever. There’s no way he’d just sit around and wait to die!”
The Divine Fortune Teller appeared beneath the distant skies, pulling the Zhuyou Great Peng along by its wing.
“You really are useless. How many years has it been? You haven’t improved in the slightest,” Su Yi said flatly.
Earlier, the Divine Fortune Teller transmitted to him that the Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign was afflicted by divine misfortune, and his vital energy was badly damaged. Moreover, he’d exhausted himself trying to usher in the divine son. He was already at the end of his rope.
Given the circumstances, Su Yi naturally wouldn’t drag things out or give his opponent a chance to catch his breath.
Thus, he attacked explosively and caught his opponents off guard!
The Spherical Heavens Immortal Sovereign’s expression darkened. He glowered at Su Yi and said, “Wang Ye, is it really you?”
His voice was low and icy.
Wang Ye!!
When the leader of the Church of All Spirits heard that name, he felt as if someone had grabbed his heart and squeezed it. His expression shifted dramatically.
That guy… is the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign!?
