Paragon of Sin -
Chapter 1894: Chapter 1886: A Swords Fortune
Su Yi stood victorious.
An image of an unfettered sword immortal branded itself within the souls of all who witnessed his unparalleled bearing and courage.
Superior Yushi was no exception. A Sage defeating a Microheaven Envoy was extraordinarily difficult but not impossible; the world has recorded a scant few geniuses who wielded treasures or possessed an unrivaled foundation of the utmost excellence, but those recorded throughout the vast history of the galactic cluster were almost entirely exclusive to Enlightened Sages.
'He forcefully bypassed my anti-temporal field and executed a Void Art by relying on his Void Sword Intent. Exceptional,' Sage Yushi gave her honest opinion. While she had retreated first, she couldn't rid the region of her anti-temporal field or the latent toxin within that infected the existing temporal energies in the region.
Su Yi was subjected to the effects of this toxin, experiencing signs of temporal poisoning, yet he clenched victory by intertwining Void Sword Mystic Power with his Sword Intent and the Sword of the Transient Realm. More importantly, Su Yi's courageous act of wading through his own sword light to conceal his approach was magnificent and cunning.
Since the battle began, Superior Yanzi had never gotten close to Su Yi. As a Sword Cultivator, Su Yi's field of excellence was close-quarters combat, and his lethal potential was lightning-like. She similarly preferred that mode of combat, so she had decided to withdraw.
At best, she would be used to weaken Su Yi at close range while Superior Yanzi dealt with him from afar, and this would inevitably lead a desperate Su Yi into mutual destruction. She didn't wish to lose an Avatar. Not only were they not cheap, but they also required extensive materials, time, and resonant qi to produce.
Superior Yanzi hadn't expected such a vicious tactic. However, he had ways to evade cultivators, and that was by hiding in the Void, a tactic only Supreme Sages could reliably perform, and even if Su Yi entered the Void to engage, he would experience a great disadvantage as a mere shove into a different branch of time would induce paradoxical correction. As a Microheaven Envoy, a true Resonant Soul Realm cultivator, this wasn't too difficult to resist.
For a Mystic Ascendant Realm cultivator, of any cultivation stage, that was a surefire death sentence. Only a Major Authority of Time or Void Dao Constitution could resist, not even a Major Authority of a different Law would help much.
And Su Yi was the one breathing.
Su Yi inhaled the wisps of life, death, time, and sword energies that tried escaping his lips. With that, under the shock of several Superior Sages' gaze, his demolished arm regenerated instantly with a brief yet spine-tingling crunch of thick bone.
Superior Yanzi's beautifully mesmerizing azure eyes gradually sharpened with focus. 'Was that…Samsara?' She recognized the aura. Anyone who had dared to resurrect a mortal before or initiated Soul Reincarnation, an ability akin to Temporal Reversion of the Mystic Ascendant Realm for Resonant Soul Realm cultivators to bypass the restraints of the heavens, would recognize this particular aura.
She had executed this ability twice in her lifetime.
As an existence with a Microheaven, replicating feats of the Heavenly Daos on a minor scale was possible within certain limits. An example was this type of self-mutilating resurrection for the souls of others. Unlike Temporal Reversion, which could greatly offend the River of Time, and had an increasing degree of difficulty or an outright impossibility to perform after a certain amount of time had passed, a factor that prevented many from saving their deceased family after years or decades had passed, Soul Reincarnation was far better.
This was why Resonant Soul Realm cultivators sought to perform existential erasure to confirm kills, and Su Yi's grudge with Sovereign Vilesnow was based on the former's inability or unwillingness to deliver existential erasure.
Su Yi didn't bother that his secrets of harnessing Samsara Intent were somewhat exposed. If not for relying on the incomplete Wheel of Samsara, he wouldn't have been able to execute that sword art. Not only had it stabilized his soul, but it also allowed him to substitute his soul energy for Samsara Energy it generated which was converted from his innate energies to push his Minor Time Law to its limit. This was an extraordinary feat, which could elicit great desire from any Supreme Sage!
The ability to substitute Soul Energy!
Su Yi collected Superior Yanzi's Amethyst-Bound Spirit Orb and his amethyst pentagram that was serving as the core of his Sea of Consciousness, no longer possessing vibrant spirituality, only a dim flicker of golden heavenly force. The fragment of the Microheaven artificially forged to contain its resonant qi and connection to a Heaven's Gate was the only thing that remained.
This was a great treasure at the Mystic-Heaven grade!
"You want to continue?" Su Yi calmly asked without looking at Superior Yushi.
Superior Yushi exposed her location. She was no more than a hundred thousand miles away. This was extremely close range for cultivators of their strength but she was confident in existing here. Instead, she had a calm pair of azure eyes that observed Su Yi without the slightest sign of aggression or malicious intent.
"There's no other foreign enemies for you to face," Superior Yushi informed.
Su Yi nodded, swishing his sword through the air, and sheathing it in one smooth motion. He didn't attack, only kept his weapon. Superior Yushi had established her stance as a neutral party despite her previous intentions.
After the three Microheaven Envoy Incarnations were dealt with, only Superior Yushi and Superior Yanzi had brought in their Avatars, and since then, not a single new person had involved themselves.
Well, Supreme Sages weren't cabbages that could be found on the street, nor did they have the ability to instantaneously traverse galaxies in a few days or receive immediate news across galaxies. All these so-called foreign Sages either were here on business or nearby performing a mission in the Void-Blank Space between galaxies. This could be hunting, exploration, overseeing a mining operation, or maintaining relations at an embassy built in a World Realm.
Superior Yanzi was the ambassador of the Treasured Vale Galaxy's Xuan Empire.
Superior Yushi was surveying a recently discovered spatial realm, potentially a graveyard or nest of a star beast's lineage. She had learned it was a dead realm, empty and abandoned of corpses or beasts, so she was tasked with shattering it and bringing pieces back to the world for any potential profit or to serve as reinforcements to the foundation of other World Realms or Secret Realms.
She belonged to the Treasured Vale Galaxy's Blessed Yri Empire.
While they weren't enemies, the two couldn't be considered allies, but in the face of interest, they didn't avoid colluding with each other to share the profits. However, nothing was set in stone as they relied on vague ties of alliance and no oaths. There was a great chance that they would have clashed after Su Yi was put into a certain death situation, seeking to lay claim to his life first.
"Are you the Tyrant Sword Sage or Ephemeral Sword Sage?" Superior Yanzi asked openly. She didn't try to hide her intentions to learn of Su Yi's circumstances. Others were bound to be curious, yet only speculation existed from his previous execution of signature sword arts and the Sword of the Transient Realm.
Su Yi's lips curved into a smile, answering: "I am Su Yi."
"..." Superior Yanzi's eyes flickered with confusion. However, she tried to extrapolate the profound truth behind that statement. Unfortunately, she couldn't quite grasp it.
Su Yi shook his head slightly. The Unique Intent of Samsara was extraordinarily profound, and similar to how Astral Core Realm cultivators, true mortals, could grasp Temporal Reversion, Spatial Realm Creation, Planetary Creation, and Solar Star Creation, the depth of their understanding of time, space, and the genesis of creation was lacking severely.
Even those divinity-like Resonant Soul Realm cultivators that could execute Soul Reincarnation were unable to truly understand reincarnation.
Superior Yanzi gazed deeply toward Su Yi for a long, lingering moment with her beautiful phoenix-shaped eyes that could bewitch the hearts and souls of all men. Then, she turned around, exposing her greatest asset as a female, before departing in a burst of watery azure-colored radiance.
"..." Su Yi chuckled in his heart. Was she seducing him? He didn't pay her any mind. Instead, he turned his gaze toward a specific location!
The tower of Heavenly Sages!
Within which hid his target: the Gloomdark Alchemic Saint!
Also known as—An Dihei!
In his past life, she had another identity.
His third concubine!
Su Yi steadied his breathing as he began his walk across the stars. To claim the head of this treacherous cow!

Wei Wuyin's eyes were glowing with a stellar splendor, sensing the sword art that Su Yi had used. Struck by a bolt of inspiration, Wei Wuyin hurriedly sent his Second Mind a sequence of messages.
"The Wheel of Samsara produces a type of energy that can substitute Soul Energy!" His Second Mind was stunned with amazement. During their dealings earlier, just before he sent Su Yi to the Incinerated Dominion, Wei Wuyin had Su Yi inform him of his secrets that the others sought.
At the time, Su Yi believed that Wei Wuyin would be unable to understand the obscure and devastating Language of Life and Death that was the core language of the great dao of eternity, similar to the Mortal Language and the Language of Mysticism.
However, Wei Wuyin was a Magi who was blessed by that great dao of eternity! Not only did he understand every iota of it, his Second Mind had used those extensively long years concocting to decipher the Cultivation Method that he used to construct the Wheel of Samsara, a metaphysical item on par with the Scroll of Akasha that embodied the Akashic Records of Creation!
The only issue was how to acquire the essence needed to construct it. Similar to the Akashic Records of Creation for Magi, there was a need for a Dao Domain Acknowledgement. Since then, his Second Mind was a little uncertain how to proceed.
Now that he'd witnessed Su Yi exhibit the powers of the Wheel of Samsara, he figured it out. It needed the blessing of that great dao and a foundation!
And what did he already have?!
Updated first on lightnovelworld.org
Not only did he have the blessing of all three great daos, but he had the Eye of Immortality! Additionally! He had free access to the Samsara of the Stars!! He could extract its unique Samsara Intent!
"Construct the spiritual foundation of the Wheel of Samsara into the Eye of Immortality; imbue the auric blessing of eternity into the Wheel of Samsara; forge it within the Samsara of Stars to acquire the will of the eternal cycle of life and death; Eye of Dao establishes anew!"
The Second Mind was swift in its deduction. Wei Wuyin followed along its profound instructions, relying on the foundational method of the Magi Royalty, and seeking the creation of a new eye!
Suddenly, his Celestial Eyes of Spiritual Divinity stung as a fifth Eye of Dao was established.
The Eye of Immortality, the Eye of Truth, the Eye of Illusion, the Eye of Creation, and the fifth: THE EYE OF SAMSARA!
A black and white Wheel of Samsara formed within his eyes as an extensive and complex spiritual formation. Surrounding it was the essence of death, life, and the incessant cycle of black and white solar stars being born and dying!
Wei Wuyin could feel Little Defiant's excitement as the eye formed. Then, Wei Wuyin tested one of its potential functions: Little Defiant's Solar Essence was absorbed into his eye, entering the Wheel of Samsara at its center, and then forming a miraculously profound cycle of refinement alongside life and death. Each cycle generated an increasingly purer spiritual energy—Samsara Spiritual Energy!
Seeing this energy that was noticeably different than Su Yi's, especially as it contained the solar radiance of stars within, granting its black and white wispy form a majestic beauty that was akin to stargazing at the birth and deaths of an infinite number of stars.
They were all Little Defiant, derived from its Star Soul's quintessential energy!
With each cycle performed, Wei Wuyin could feel Little Defiant's excitement as the Wheel of Samsara was tethered to its gargantuanly defiant-sized form. Was it purifying its energy too?!
"IT WORKS!" Eden exclaimed with happiness, its voice laced with extreme exhaustion that couldn't be hidden.
Wei Wuyin focused on the surgical operation to save Hong Xuannu, and he noticed that the Major Authorities of Laws were being used without expending his own Soul Energy! Despite not fighting, the operation drained him considerably, having great demands on his Major Laws to an excessive degree, slowly outpacing his ability to replenish via his Stellar-Paragon Physique's unique ability.
He was already on the verge of forcefully ending the operation despite somewhat stabilizing Hong Xuannu.
Now, his efforts were renewed as he gained an incredible substitute for his Soul Energy! While it wasn't as effective as his own Soul Energy tempered by Hell's calamities, it was enough!
He couldn't resist the urge to genuinely smile, saying softly: "Thank you, Su Yi."
