Swoosh!
While still suspended in mid-air, Su Yi stabilized his figure, but his blood surged and he felt extremely uncomfortable, almost coughing up blood.
This attack was unbelievably terrifying!
"A flying shuttle?"
At a glance, Su Yi saw the object that had ambushed him—a blood-red flying shuttle, four inches long, as thin as a bamboo chopstick, with sharp ends.
It spun and rotated in the void, exuding a lively and spiritual aura.
Someone had ambushed him!
Ning Hui and the others were all shocked. It took them a moment to react, and their faces changed in unison.
If it were them, they probably wouldn't be able to defend against it. It was too fast!
"You all go back the way we came."
Su Yi took a deep breath, his gaze deep and profound. His Qi circulated throughout his body, as if facing a formidable enemy.
This was the first time Ning Hui and the others had seen Su Yi display such a serious expression. In their previous encounters, like the battles with Shanglin Temple's Jinghe, Su Yi had appeared relaxed and at ease, far from being as serious as he was now.
"Let's go."
Ning Hui and the others didn't dare to delay, and they turned around and left.
Swoosh!
Just as they turned around to leave, the blood-red flying shuttle flashed and shot towards Ning Hui and the others.
It streaked across the sky like a blood-red electric bolt, tearing through the air.
Clang!
The Xuanwu Sword blocked the attack, withstanding the impact.
The terrifying penetrating force caused the Xuanwu Sword to tremble violently, and Su Yi's figure was once again forced back.
Although Ning Hui and the others were extremely worried, they were also well aware that they couldn't afford to stop now, or else it would only implicate Su Yi.
Buzz!
The crimson shuttle danced in the void, scattering a magnificent rain of fiery light. Its power had suddenly increased by a large margin.
It was just a flying shuttle, but the aura it emitted was much stronger than that of ordinary terrestrial immortals like Jinghe!
Even from a distance, it made people feel fearful and chilled!
"A spiritual treasure of the Dao!"
Su Yi's pupils slightly constricted. The treasure itself was not particularly terrifying, but what surprised him was that the one controlling it was likely a powerful cultivator of the Dao!
Boom!
Just as he thought of this, the crimson flying shuttle stirred up a violent rain of flames and came crashing through the air.
The chaotic void seemed to be engulfed in a world of flames, its power shaking the heavens and the earth, far surpassing the level of terrestrial immortals.
Faced with such a ferocious attack, Su Yi's expression became unprecedentedly solemn, swiftly evading the attack.
Boom!
Although he managed to dodge the deadly strike of the crimson flying shuttle, Su Yi's figure was hit by a surging force of flames, and he was sent flying with a loud bang.
A mouthful of blood was coughed up.
Su Yi stabilized himself, a cold intent flickering in his brows.
This was undoubtedly the most dangerous battle he had encountered since his rebirth. The opponent was likely a powerful cultivator of the Dao!
This was far stronger than those so-called "terrestrial immortals" in the mortal world—a world of difference.
Boom!
Without giving Su Yi a chance to think, the crimson shuttle attacked again.
"Rise!"
A glint of coldness flashed in Su Yi's eyes as he formed hand seals.
Boom!
In this underground world, the scattered towering Buddha statues suddenly seemed to awaken, emitting a brilliant light.
Each Buddha statue radiated a dazzling golden light, accompanied by the resounding sounds of grand Buddhist chants.
In an instant, the entire underground world was illuminated, dispelling all darkness.
A massive Buddha's shadow condensed, with hands forming the lotus seal and a true dragon coiling around its body. The terrifying aura caused the heavens and the earth to tremble.
The Brahma Forbidden Demon-Sealing Formation!
"Go!"
Su Yi extended his hand and pointed.
Boom!
The golden Buddha's shadow suddenly struck with a palm.
The immense golden palm descended, oppressing the crimson shuttle, causing it to tremble violently in mid-air, emitting a buzzing sound.
However, at that moment, from deep within the massive blood-colored vortex in the void, a strange and mysterious power fluctuation surged out, condensing into a mountain-sized blood-colored hand that ruthlessly pressed down.
Boom!
The collision between the golden palm and the blood-colored hand caused the entire underground world to tremble violently, and a violent destructive torrent spread out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crimson shuttle swiftly twisted and struggled, breaking free from the oppression. Then, a figure manifested.
It was a man, wearing an ancient crown and robe, with a handsome appearance. He stood proudly on the crimson shuttle, resembling a king descending.
However, his figure was extremely illusory, like a beam of light, not substantial.
Upon seeing this scene, Su Yi couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. This was not a true spiritual Dao cultivator, but merely a soul fragment dwelling within the crimson shuttle.
"Youngster at the Qi Nurturing Realm, who has not yet transcended the mortal realm, to be able to control the Brahma Forbidden Demon-Sealing Formation set up in the Prajna Court, truly surprises me," the man spoke, his voice like thunder rolling, filled with authority. "Here's the deal, I will spare your life for now. As long as you obediently answer a few questions for me, I will not only refrain from killing you but even consider accepting you as my disciple and teach you my knowledge."
Su Yi laughed.
In his past life, even such a character wouldn't have had the opportunity to kneel before him, let alone now!
Boom!
Su Yi formed hand seals and immediately launched an attack without wasting any words.
The golden Buddha's shadow suddenly struck out with a punch, accompanied by a boundless radiant Buddha light, sweeping through the void with an imposing manner that crushed everything.
On the crimson shuttle, the man was stunned, seemingly unable to believe that this ant-like Qi Nurturing Realm youngster would dare to be so bold.
As he saw the earth-shattering punch approaching.
A trace of panic flashed across the man's face, and he immediately took control of the crimson shuttle, dodging towards a distance.
However, this punch, manifested by the power of the Brahma Forbidden Demon-Sealing Formation, was not something ordinary.
Boom!
The golden Buddha light burst and spread, causing the crimson shuttle to tremble and vibrate wildly, while the man retreated into the shuttle in a startled manner.
Just like a turtle retracting its head, hiding inside its shell.
It was ridiculous.
"You brat! Are you deliberately seeking death?" The angry voice of the man inside the crimson shuttle resounded, chilling and intimidating. "Considering your ignorance, I can let it slide, but if you persist..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Yi manipulated the forbidden formation and once again struck with a punch.
Boom!
As if the heavens and the earth were shattering, despite the crimson shuttle's desperate attempts to dodge, it was still struck heavily, crashing into the ground with a loud crash and emitting continuous groans of distress.
"You bastard!"
Inside the crimson shuttle, the man's frustration was evident. He immediately manipulated the shuttle and flew towards the blood-colored vortex in the void.
But how could Su Yi let him have his way?
Boom!
A torrent of overwhelming golden Buddha fire surged up, blocking his path.
However, what Su Yi didn't expect was that, at that moment, another strange and mysterious power emerged from deep within the blood-colored vortex. It condensed into a blood-colored spear that viciously stabbed down.
The sky-filling golden Buddha fire was actually shattered in a single strike!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crimson shuttle soared through the air and approached the vicinity of the blood-colored vortex.
"You little brat, this is your last chance. If..." Before he could finish, Su Yi struck again.
Boom!
A giant Buddha's hand moved through the air, aiming to capture the crimson shuttle.
"Damn it!!!" Inside the crimson shuttle, the man roared in extreme anger, as if going mad. "You little brat, listen carefully. I am the 'Scarlet Peng True Sovereign' of the Transcendent Demon Sect. One day, I will cross realms and take your wretched life!"
The voice carried a thick sense of fury and indescribable resentment.
Before it could fade, the crimson shuttle plunged into the blood-colored vortex, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, a trace of regret appeared in Su Yi's eyes. He hadn't been able to keep this guy...
"Friend, are you alright?" Ning Xi and the others hurriedly approached, their faces filled with astonishment and concern.
They had witnessed the previous battle.
"It's nothing, just some minor injuries," Su Yi took a deep breath and withdrew his gaze from the blood-colored vortex.
Mu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Su, was that guy just now perhaps a powerful spiritual cultivator?"
"Yes, but he was only a divine soul incarnation. When one's cultivation reaches the Spirit Wheel Realm, they can divide their divine soul and temper the incarnations," Su Yi explained, furrowing his brows slightly. "However, although that guy's cultivation might not be particularly impressive, his identity should be quite extraordinary."
The blood-colored vortex was a spatial barrier, yet someone had intervened from the other side of the barrier during the battle to help the man who claimed to be the "Scarlet Peng True Sovereign" escape the deadly situation.
This was not something an ordinary spiritual cultivator could accomplish. At the very least, it required Imperial Realm cultivation or a profound mastery of spatial manipulation to provide assistance across a spatial barrier!
If this Scarlet Peng True Sovereign were just an ordinary spiritual cultivator, why would he be worthy of such help?
"The Transcendent Demon Sect... So, in the world on the other side of this spatial barrier, there is a demonic cultivation force. It may include powerful spiritual cultivators like the Scarlet Peng True Sovereign, and there could also be Imperial Realm figures lurking there..." Su Yi pondered inwardly.
This was undoubtedly news that would shake the entire Cyan Azure Continent.
But Su Yi didn't care.
As the former Xuanjun Swordmaster who was once revered in the Great Wilderness Nine Provinces, he understood very well that the higher one's cultivation, the more difficult it was to cross realms.
This involved the issue of world laws.
And in a mundane world like the Cyan Azure Continent, unless a sky-shaking upheaval occurred, it would be impossible for figures at the Imperial Realm or even spiritual cultivators to descend with their true power.
Would the Cyan Azure Continent undergo such a drastic change?
Yes, it would!
This could be seen from the increasing number of strange and abnormal occurrences happening within the eight major demonic mountains of Da Zhou in recent years.
When Su Yi was in the underground world deep within the Bloodthorn Demonic Mountain, he had calculated that it would take at least three to five years for the foreign cultivators to cross the world barrier and arrive.
Moreover, the first batch of characters to descend on the Cyan Azure Continent would definitely not be significant figures.
For others in the world, this might be a cause for worry and restless nights.
But for Su Yi, these things were insignificant, and he even looked forward to the arrival of those foreign cultivators.
That way, he could harvest one batch after another of prey...
After all, how could those foreign cultivators not possess treasures necessary for cultivation?
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, Lan Suo exclaimed in surprise, pointing towards a dim area in the far distance.
There, a faint purple spiritual light flickered intermittently, not easily noticeable unless one paid close attention.
