Although it seemed unlikely, there was a rumor quietly circulating among both sides that Taoist Sect's Liang Yi was actually a coward, afraid of war.
Originally, this rumor had no leg to stand on; as long as Liang Yi made one appearance it would dissipate without a trace, but Liang Yi had not appeared on the battlefield since the beginning of the war.
Even though the chiefs of the various Super Forces scorned the news and strictly forbade its discussion, this rumor was nevertheless believed by the lower-level cultivators who did not know the truth.
And once this rumor reached the Abyss, it was even more widely believed there.
Chen Hua had brought them immense pressure, and even if they were unable to defeat him physically, they felt they must take some advantage verbally, and Liang Yi became the best target for their venting.
And coincidentally, the Abyss cultivator who intended to lure Su Youyi into a trap started to "dance in a minefield."
A year had passed, and no one knew what the Abyss cultivator had said that summer, but they only knew that it was the first time Su Youyi had displayed her full strength.
To ambush Su Youyi, the Abyss had truly made a significant investment; a cleverly concealed Eighth Realm cultivator led the team, with several late Seventh Realm Abyss cultivators lying in wait.
When Su Youyi willingly stepped into their ambush, they regretted it...
From Mystical Mechanism's side, they only knew that the blood-colored sky, which had been present since the beginning of the war, underwent a new change that day, with a dazzling starry sky enveloping the entire battlefield and the cold, bright moon hanging in the sky.
Both Mystical Mechanism and Abyss cultivators vaguely saw an exceptionally beautiful maiden on the surface of that moon.
At that moment, they felt as if they had seen the Moon Goddess!
The players were even more insane about it, their minds shocked at the scene, and for a moment, they didn't know whether to capture this spectacular starry sky or the moon that captivated everyone with their cameras that came with the system.
This beautiful scene, however, spelled an unparalleled killing intent for the Abyss cultivators!
That day, they finally remembered the fear of being cornered at their doorstep by a single sword cultivator wielding One Sword Destroying All Techniques!
Although Su Youyi's current realm wasn't yet at the level of Chen Hua's back then, the enemies she faced were completely different from those her master had faced.
As long as any Abyss cultivator stood under this starry sky, it meant they were all caught in Su Youyi's Star Sea Sword Formation; the vast and boundless Sword Intent poured down like an ocean from the Heavenly Vault, washing away all filth!
"If there were a Sword Immortal in the heavens, then it must be so!"
This was the heartfelt exclamation that rose from Zhou Wudao of the Immortal Dynasty upon witnessing this scene, resonating with many others.
However, when he wanted to take up the brush to paint, he was tightly grasped around the waist and prevented from doing so by Master Hui Zhi of the Zen Sect, who would not allow him to soil this supremely beautiful moment with his impure painting skills.
"A bunch of philistines who don't understand art!"
Zhou Wudao angrily broke his brush and directed all his anger towards the Abyss cultivators. Meanwhile, Master Hui Zhi for some reason began receiving various gifts and inexplicably thankful messages from the Abnormal People after this event.
As for how Su Youyi looked within the Great Formation, no one knew, because the opponent had deliberately chosen a place where the Mystical Mechanism cultivators couldn't provide immediate support, not realizing they were digging their own graves.
Outsiders could only see a continuous rain of falling stars within the Sword Array for several days straight!
When the starlight in the sky finally dispersed, Su Youyi calmly returned from the Great Formation with her sword in hand, and behind her lay a thousand li of barren land, devoid of any living creatures!
From that point on, Su Youyi was like Pandora's Box being opened; the killing intent in her heart was stirred, her suppressed nature re-emerged, and like a thorny black rose, she bloomed spectacularly yet fatally on the battlefield.
Su Youyi's nature was cold and ruthless, heavy with killing intent; otherwise, Chen Hua would not have chosen the principle of One Sword Destroying All Techniques for her to comprehend Sword Intent when he was teaching her, and in her previous life, she would not have become a female devil who caused chaos in the world.
Her character had undergone earth-shattering changes over the years under Liang Yi's care and influence, but this recent bout of slaughter had made her revert slightly to her previous self.
Or one might say, if not for the presence of Liang Yi and Chen Hua, this would have been Su Youyi's true nature.
However, at this point, Chen Hua was seriously injured in Demon Emperor Valley, while Liang Yi was not only guarding the valley but also using Cliff Sword Intent to continuously aid Elder Gu Sheng's healing. Zhou Ruanxian was also busy hurrying between various sects to fetch the Immortal Herbs needed by Gu Sheng, with no time to attend to other matters.
As a result, all those who could restrain Su Youyi were not present, leaving her to kill to her heart's content.
In the end, Zhou Wudao and Hui Zhi, after a discussion, even considered whether they should bring Su Youyi back first to have Liang Yi look at her condition.
They were all frightened by her current state.
However, before they could act, Su Youyi left the battlefield on her own.
Because she had a pact with her senior brother before leaving that she needed to return at a set time.
So, after a year of back and forth, Su Youyi on the battlefield became synonymous with the Grim Reaper, her progress terrifyingly rapid.
Any genius the Abyss sent out to counter Su Youyi might initially hold their own against her, but within at most half a month, with the help of the World Origin to rapidly digest battle insights, Su Youyi would leave them in the dust, unable to even see her taillights.
