Chapter 1787 - 1337: Slaying the Emperor (Part 2)
Chapter 1787: Chapter 1337: Slaying the Emperor (Part 2)
Of course not! Even Gui himself wouldn’t believe that if he said it out loud.
In Gui’s view, even if this sword of Su Yuan’s couldn’t kill him, it should definitely erase a portion of his Origin—how could it produce no reaction at all.
There was only one possibility: this sword was not meant to kill him...
All of a sudden, Gui sharply sensed something, lowered his head to look, and found that the Amber Crystal outside his body, and even the entire Tree Star, actually seemed to be getting "farther and farther" from him?
This wasn’t distance in Space, but a conceptual "distance," like something originally one whole being split into two; he actually seemed to have been "peeled off" from the super-fused Tree Star...
"Hm? What is he trying to do!"
Gui’s heart trembled; this development beyond all expectation suddenly made a sharp sense of things slipping from his control surge up within him.
And without giving him time to think, a silver Qingming Imprint suddenly flashed on Gui’s body where the Divine Absolute Sword Light had struck.
The next instant, the Silver Light flared!
Su Yuan appeared, Riding Light Divine Sword in hand, stepping out from the surging, scattering silver radiance and arriving in front of Gui.
"Su Yuan?!"
Then, under Gui’s astonished gaze, Su Yuan raised his hand and pressed a palm onto him: "Qingming!"
Dazzling Silver Light swept out in all directions, tightly wrapping around Gui within the Amber.
Gui only felt an overwhelmingly forceful Space Transmission power surge out from Su Yuan’s body; he immediately used his full Emperor-level Star Power combined with Domain Power to resist with all his strength.
Very soon, however, Gui discovered that he actually could not completely resist this Space Transmission that Su Yuan was unleashing at point-blank range!
As the Silver Light blazed brighter, the figures of the two of them vanished from the Tree Star together...
Gui’s vision blurred; in all directions above and below, it was already a broad and bright world.
"You actually cut off this emperor’s fusion with Tree Heart City?" Gui rapidly swept his gaze around, then fixed his eyes on Su Yuan. "So, after all that effort, what you wanted was to separate this emperor from the Tree Star fusion and bring me into this Different Space of yours?"
Su Yuan nodded: "That’s right."
Gui controlled the power of "Fusion," whereas Su Yuan’s Divine Absolute was the "Separation" power of Cutting All Cutting.
That Divine Absolute Sword wasn’t to kill Gui, but to temporarily peel him off from the Tree Star’s fusion state and bring him alone into the Qingming Realm!
Gui gave a cold snort; his Emperor-level Star Power erupted in tandem with his Domain, instantly sending the Void within the Qingming Realm twisting and violently quaking.
"Clang!!"
A clear phoenix cry rang out from the heights of the sky; the Phoenix Vein manifested as a Mystic Sky Infinite Divine Phoenix, spreading its wings high in the firmament, and as its Divine Power shrouded down, it immediately suppressed the trembling world.
Now, after the Qingming Realm had absorbed a massive amount of Secret Realm Energy, even its Power of Soul had broken into the Mythical Level; it naturally would not be so easily broken free from by Gui!
Gui no longer wasted his strength in vain; his eyes narrowed slightly, cold light flickering within them: "You want to trap and kill this emperor? With just you alone, not to mention that you’ve already lost those two Attack and Kill Divine Techniques of Thunder and Space... even if you could still use them, don’t even think about killing this emperor!
And if you can’t kill this emperor quickly, once the Sword Intent’s Separation and Cutting effect fades, this emperor will be able to easily Recall the Tree Star to descend here.
At that time, you’ll have only one road left—death!"
Su Yuan, hearing this, merely formed a Seal Technique with calm composure: "My methods are far from limited to this..."
As soon as the words fell, the Void in all directions rippled slightly, and the originally tranquil Void suddenly exuded a chilling aura of slaughter!
Every grain of sand and stone, every blade of grass and leaf, even the Clear Wind and falling leaves... everything between Heaven and Earth began to emanate astonishing Sharpness, as though it concealed infinite killing intent.
"An Array?" Seeing this, Gui couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. "With fluctuations like this, a mere Eighth Stage Array?"
Even the Level 9 Four Saints Chaos Array could hardly inflict much damage upon him, let alone an Eighth-level Array!
However, Su Yuan’s movements did not stop. His right hand loosened, and the Riding Light Sword hovered before him. His left hand, meanwhile, tapped onto the Taixu Sword Seal at his brow, which had already dimmed.
"I’ll be troubling you, True Que!" Su Yuan spoke in a low, firm voice.
"Hum!"
With a deep Sword Chant, a Bronze-colored, ancient and unadorned Longsword slowly flew out from the Taixu Sword Seal—it was precisely that Divine Sword which had newly stepped into the Mythical Level in the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, and had once joined Su Yuan in resisting the Absolute Heaven Sword!
Looking at these two Divine Swords, Gui couldn’t help but feel a wave of unease rise in his heart: "Two Divine Swords??"
Gui narrowed his eyes and did not wait any longer; with a wave of his hand, green radiance transformed into a sky-filling mass of Divine Tree Green Wood, surging to attack and kill Su Yuan!
Su Yuan’s gaze was ice-cold, his hands closing together in a Seal Technique: "Armies rise in solemn muster, baleful qi surges to the Purple Court... kill!"
As the word "kill" fell, wind and cloud convulsed, Thunder of the Nine Heavens roared; with a Flash, the two Divine Swords instantly vanished into the Void, and boundless killing intent erupted across Heaven and Earth!
Thousands of Divine Tree Green Wood had just charged to the front of Su Yuan when countless strands of sword light swept past them like flowing radiance; all those Divine Tree Green Woods froze at once and were instantly sliced into innumerable fragments!
"Hm?! What Array is this?!" Gui’s expression changed drastically.
The Divine Tree Green Wood, whose tenacity was extreme under the blessing of his Star Power and Domain—how could they shatter like tofu at the mere touch of this Array’s sword light?
Even if his condition was poor at this moment, it should never have been so fragile!
Su Yuan let out a cold laugh: "This is the Ancient First Killing Array, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!"
Indeed, this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation laid within the Qingming Realm was Su Yuan’s ultimate trump card!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the Ancient First Killing Array—matchless in slaughter, unstoppable by any.
Though this formation was a crippled Array, with no clear grade.
Yet when Su Yuan had gathered two fragments of its diagram, it was already comparable to a top-tier Eighth-level Array; in sheer offensive killing power, it even surpassed Yang Aoshan’s Celestial Star Battle Array by a margin!
And in preparation for this decisive battle, Su Yuan had personally gone to the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect before the war, paying respects to Emperor Ye to obtain the two Divine Swords, Riding Light and True Que.
Though Su Yuan had not Refined these two swords and could not wield them as he pleased, using them as Array Eyes to drive the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was more than sufficient.
With the addition of the two Divine Swords, the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation soared, directly pushing its killing might up by at least an entire tier!
To let this formation fully manifest, Su Yuan had even specially opened up an independent Space within the Qingming Realm to bear this Array.
"Damn it!"
Gui, having fought through countless worlds, had also heard the fabled name of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Even if he had not, he had now witnessed its peerless, world-shocking killing power; horror surged in his heart, and he no longer dared to hold anything back in the slightest!
In an instant, his Domain fluctuated violently, and Infinite Green Light erupted from Gui’s body.
But at this moment, Gui was not only heavily wounded; having fully unleashed Super Fusion to forge that colossal Tree Star had also burned through his Star Power severely, his condition long since plummeted.
What he thought was an invincible strategy—how could he have imagined that Su Yuan still held such an Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, unmatched in slaughter!
Red light surged up, Transmutations endless; the two Divine Swords echoed one another, seated at the Array Eyes, while the Infinite sword light they derived filled all of Heaven and Earth, wantonly grinding apart the green radiance and various methods Gui unleashed, until it gradually descended upon his body...
"Damn it?!"
Gui’s face changed drastically; in a single instant, countless sword scars surfaced upon his body. Even his Divine Tree Body could not withstand the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation’s utterly extreme killing force; his Origin, already grievously damaged, now plummeted like a breached dam!
If this continued, before the Separation Effect of the Divine Absolute dissipated, he himself would first be erased.
Gui had already felt death closing in; how could he spare a thought for the future? At this moment he only wanted to block the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation’s offensive!
With a flicker of thought, the Heart of the Divine Tree he had just slightly Repaired immediately cracked and shattered, transforming into a surge of pure, dense Divine Tree Power that flowed into Gui’s body, greatly repairing his Origin and strengthening his Emperor Body.
For a time, the violently surging green radiance actually forced the sword light back by a measure!
Sharp light burst from Su Yuan’s eyes; he also knew victory or defeat hinged on this move.
"Divine Phoenix!"
With a muted shout from Su Yuan, Mystic Light burned like flame upon the body of the Mystic Sky Infinite Divine Phoenix; it plummeted from the high heavens, directly crashing into the Array!
In that instant, the Qingming Realm shook; vast and weighty World Power all converged here. Uniting the power of an entire realm, it directly suppressed the Domain outside Gui’s body to the very limit.
At the same time, Su Yuan wove Seal Techniques; as Nine Veins Star Power evaporated violently, True Que and Riding Light revealed their True Form, the twin swords erupting. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation’s might surged; with killing intent towering to the sky and ever-shifting, terrifying sword light, it instantly shrouded Gui, who had just self-detonated the Heart of the Divine Tree to strengthen his body...
"Sword Intent runs rampant through three thousand worlds, baleful qi suffuses the Nine Heavens. Red light surges, severing a thousand fates; within the Immortal Slaying Formation, all Evil is cut down."
Not long after, as Su Yuan softly chanted, the sword light within the Immortal Slaying Formation drew back, killing intent halted abruptly, and the two Divine Swords both hung suspended in midair.
Gui stood motionless where he was, his eyes blank, within them surging fierce terror, fury, and unwillingness.
The next moment, his entire body was torn apart by the eruption of boundless sword light, taking all his emotions with it as they completely dispersed between Heaven and Earth, his soul scattered and destroyed!
This final trump card that the Grey Realm had poured itself into arranging, this contemporary New Emperor accomplished through sacrificing many Divine Generals and hundreds of King Level beings—
Gui—thus met his end within the Killing Array!
