Chapter 1031: Blood Dao Sword Cultivator: Immortal and Undying
Amid the sky-covering, earth-shattering green flames of the Earth Core Fire, space itself was incinerated, all living beings perished, and not a single trace of aura remained.
"So weak?"
The green-flame giant, transformed from the Prince of the Azure Sky, roared in confusion.
This seems possible.
With the power of thirty Kings fused into one, aided by the Spider Star King, his current combat strength was already nearing that of a King-rank Prince; it was only natural that a mere Slave King would be utterly annihilated in a single strike by the green-flame giant.
Thinking thus, the Prince of the Azure Sky suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"Your Highness of the Azure Sky, beware..."
At the same time came the Spider Star King's urgent cry, seeming to arrive even faster than the chest pain, though the difference was negligible.
The green-flame giant looked down.
A crimson flying sword, unknown when, had pierced his right chest, carrying away a large mass of shattered bones and flesh; from the wound came a faint, mournful scream—a King of the Imperial Clan, clearly grievously wounded in an instant.
Boom!
From the shattered chest, violent blood-light and green flames exploded fiercely, ejecting a deep-red flying sword; cold killing intent bloomed across heaven and earth, even affecting the temperature of the green-flame Earth Core Fire, no longer dominating everything.
Across heaven and earth, a beam of blood-light bloomed.
Starting from a single point, it instantly spread throughout heaven and earth; wherever the blood-light reached, the Blood River resurrected from the void, surging wildly once more across heaven and earth, annihilating the world-destroying green-flame Earth Core Fire along its path.
The world returned once more to the realm of the Blood Dao Dominator, eroding all four directions.
Within the endless Blood River, a Daoist in a blood-red robe emerged from the blood.
His aura had clearly dropped significantly, yet at the same time, his power had increased slightly, bringing forth even greater omens of peril; the crimson hue in his eyes had become even more pure.
"What kind of fire is this?"
Jiang Ding's gaze flickered.
After this burning, he felt much more at ease; a portion of the demonic thoughts rising and falling within his body had vanished, allowing him to think calmly.
"Damn it!"
Anger surfaced in the eyes of the Prince of the Azure Sky.
At the same time, he felt profound dread.
This was the green-flame Earth Core Fire!
It could easily incinerate even Kings into ash, yet here, it seemed to have become a supreme tonic, elevating the opponent's cultivation and foundation even further.
"Your Highness of the Azure Sky, please be cautious!"
"This Slave King's foundation has already reached thirty percent of a same-realm Imperial Prince's level!"
The Spider Star King's voice also trembled with shock.
A mere Slave King should inherently possess a flawed foundation, far weaker than Kings of the Imperial Clan at the same realm.
But now, in merely decades since obtaining the Slave Emperor Scripture, the opponent had devoured billions of lives
and completed part of the foundation-completion process.
He has now surpassed the foundations of most Imperial Clan Kings who have tempered themselves for thousands of years.
If left to grow, after another thousand years, he might well raise his foundation to fifty percent, or even sixty percent, of an Imperial Prince's level!
By then, even a King-rank Prince coming alone might not be able to slay him in a short time.
Clang!
Seeing the green-flame giant not answer his words, Jiang Ding shook his head slightly and drew his long sword.
"Azure Sky, bring more of that fire."
"Otherwise, you will die."
Whoosh!
The sword emerged, transforming into a thunderclap falling from the sky; within the sword-light, the structure reconfigured millions of times in an instant, finally forming a sword-light of blood-ice hue, carrying an extreme cold aura.
Where the sword-light passed, space and clouds were frozen, unable to move a single inch.
Sword Dao Fourth Realm, Indestructible!
This was the change brought by the Indestructible Sword Art; targeting the current Prince of the Azure Sky, it reconfigured into the power most suited against the green-flame Earth Core Fire, countless sword-lights condensing into a single point, extreme cold, slashing down toward the green-flame giant's head.
Before the sword-light truly struck, the cold had already arrived; the flames burning fiercely around the green-flame giant suddenly shrank by a large portion.
A chilling sense of crisis arose in the heart of the Prince of the Azure Sky.
"Roar!"
"A mere Slave King; even if you have supplemented thirty percent of your foundation, what of it?"
The green-flame giant roared, dispelling all distracting thoughts.
He embraced the flame giant pillar, performing no exquisite techniques, merely spinning three times to maximize his buildup; the flame giant pillar suddenly became brilliantly radiant, its scorching light pushing aside the Blood River and incinerating all things.
Then, the flame giant pillar, with its buildup reaching the extreme, happened to collide with the blood-ice sword surging down with overwhelming force.
Boom!
The blood-ice bloomed, countless fragments scattering in all directions.
That blood-ice sword struck the flame giant pillar, a nascent Demon Emperor Clan weapon formed by swallowing dozens of Kings; it was like ice colliding with a searing red-hot iron, instantly shattering into four pieces, steam rising as it melted, affecting the heavy flame giant pillar hardly at all, unable even to shift it by a single inch.
In absolute force, the green-flame giant possessed an overwhelming advantage!
"Nothing more!"
"Blood River King, you are nothing more!"
In the giant's enormous pupils, a ferocious battle will suddenly ignited; he hesitated no longer, pondered no more why, pouring all his emotions entirely into war and slaughter.
Embracing the flame giant pillar, he strode forward in a death-defying charge; the Blood River Sword Domain blocking his path was instantly vaporized into ash, unable to hinder him in the slightest.
He instantly traversed a distance of hundreds of kilometers, rapidly
closing in on the Daoist in the blood-red robe.
"Die!"
"Die!"
"You weak, powerless servant!"
The towering flame giant transformed from the Cang Kong Emperor Son roared. He inhaled the grand momentum of heaven and earth for thousands of li in great gulps, finally condensing it within his muscular, sinew-bound arms, extending it into the giant flame pillar gripped tightly in both hands, and smashed it down with a violent swing.
With this single strike of the giant flame pillar, the surrounding space itself shattered!
Around the giant flame pillar, the area even transformed into a dark, pitch-black black hole. Extreme force brought forth extreme gravity, and the boundless power swallowed everything in all directions—the Blood River sword qi, fragments of space, and even the flying sword that condensed an indestructible Sword Dao aura as it cleaved straight toward him—all were drowned by the black hole.
Boom!
Crack!
Amid the chaotic transformation of a stretch of space, one could only hear the sound of the flying sword shattering, the sound of a skull crumbling into powder and then being burned to ash.
The Blood Robe Daoist was smashed into countless fragments of blood and bone beneath the giant flame pillar, his body reduced to ash, not even a trace of vitality remaining in any flesh particle or soul particle.
"Damn it!"
"You cowardly ant!"
Yet the green flame giant who had obliterated his foe with a single staff blow showed not the slightest hint of triumph. He let out another furious roar and launched a suicidal charge toward another spot in the void, the giant flame pillar heavy as a star, carrying overwhelming force as it smashed across horizontally.
There, accompanied by the surging waves of the Blood River, a Blood Robe Daoist began to revive, a longsword in hand, his expression calm.
Clang!
He struck out with another sword, the blood-ice sword light filling the space between heaven and earth.
The Blood Dao is indestructible.
The Blood Dao is renowned for its tenacious vitality; even if one's strength is weak, one is not easily killed.
And the will of the Sword Dao is likewise indestructible!
The two layered together instantly amplified his survivability to an utterly terrifying degree. It seemed as though beneath a single staff blow the flying sword shattered and his vitality was extinguished.
In truth, not a single hair's worth of power had been lost!
Undying!
Indestructible!
In terms of survival and tenacious vitality, a law cultivator fears a body cultivator not one whit!
