Chapter 1154: World as Cannon Barrel: Great Sun Proto-Magnetic Order-Breaking Sword

Jiang Ding fixed a burning gaze on the Dark Heaven Ancient Emperor's Son before him.

In that instant, he felt it clearly — the person before him had become someone else entirely; the pure force-order power surging around him was so beautiful, so exquisite, like crystal, translucent and intoxicating.

It was hard to believe.

Force-order — such a brutal thing — could actually display such grace and beauty.

In that instant, the Dark Heaven Ancient Emperor's Son gave off a completely different feeling.

In the past, he had been nothing but a beast of monstrous strength, only knowing how to hack and slash in a frenzy, slaughtering wildly; though he did have minor tricks like 'one pounce, two bites, three bucks,' overall he was still just a beast.

That clumsy body, those crude techniques — though his strength was boundless, to a seasoned hunter it was utterly soporific; one could see the ending at a glance, and he only stayed fully alert out of a swordsman's professional discipline.

This was the gap in technique, in civilizational depth, in the use of order-power.

But at this moment, the commander of nine million troops, the Dark Heaven Ancient Emperor's Son, was no longer a beast, but a powerhouse possessing both top-tier strength and top-tier technique.

"Sir,"

"My name is Jiang Ding. I ask for your instruction."

Jiang Ding straightened his body, bowed slightly in greeting, his expression solemn and courteous.

"Sword cultivator!"

The Dark Heaven Ancient Emperor's Son roared.

The Heaven-Splitting Giant Axe in his hand was raised high with the momentum of cleaving the heavens, naturally becoming the center of force-order power for tens of thousands of li around, as if an ancient god of force-order had awakened — an inexplicable, crushing pressure spread in all directions, freezing the entire star river, leaving only a single Heaven-Splitting Giant Axe.

This was the net formed by force-order power at some unknown moment, freezing the star river!

Anyone beneath the Void Refinement realm standing beneath that Heaven-Splitting Giant Axe had their physical forms frozen, even their divine sense frozen, unable to transmit any information outward.

"Die!"

The Heaven-Splitting Giant Axe, carrying the force-order heaven and earth of tens of thousands of li of starry sky, crashed down toward the blue-robed youth's head!

Clearly so violent, yet so beautiful — every movement possessed a natural, heaven-born aesthetic, containing the profound artistry of force-order.

"How wonderful… an opponent like this."

Jiang Ding's scalp tingled, yet he took a deep breath, savoring the beauty of this moment.

Clang!

He slowly drew his sword!

In that instant, six ripples of order spread outward; the proto-magnetic order within them blazed as never before, azure radiance filling the world, forming lines of magnetic field, among which floated countless azure proto-magnetic order runes, turning this stretch of heaven and earth into an ocean of proto-magnetic rules.

"Sir!"

"This sword of mine has accompanied my growth and battle since I was weak."

Jiang Ding's voice, transmitted through the cause of order, reached every being in heaven and earth — whether permitted or not — appearing in their sea of consciousness, imprinted upon their divine souls.

At this moment, he was extremely courteous.

"Every time I ascended to a higher realm, this sword would undergo many changes."

"However, its underlying principle has never changed."

"Today, after I awakened and gave birth to order-power, this sword is named…"

Jiang Ding's voice gradually rose to Gao Ang; the blade was fully drawn, illuminating the entire proto-magnetic order world.

"Great Sun Proto-Magnetic Order-Breaking Sword!"

Boom!

A sun of destruction was born within the world of proto-magnetic order!

This sun embodied destruction, distortion, law-prohibition, law-annihilation, sword dao, and proto-magnetic order — but at this moment, the outermost proto-magnetic order radiance blazed with unprecedented brilliance; within this world saturated with proto-magnetic order, a proto-magnetic order-power utterly different from its surroundings appeared.

Both were proto-magnetic order-power, yet the proto-magnetic order radiance on the outermost layer of the blazing sun displayed the yin-pole proto-magnetic order;

while the proto-magnetic order-power of the surrounding entire world displayed the yang-pole proto-magnetic order-power — two utterly different characteristics of the same proto-magnetic order, the so-called two sides of one whole.

Yin-Yang Proto-Magnetic Order-Power!

When these two extremely conflicting forces appeared in the same stretch of heaven and earth, something terrifying immediately occurred.

The starry sky shook, space shook, order tore apart — everything swayed, blurring heaven and earth.

Meteors and nether astral winds that were not hard enough instantly turned to powder.

Tens of thousands of li of land, under the clash of yin-pole and yang-pole proto-magnetic order, trembled and swayed, as if at the instant that sun of destruction rose it bore terrifying internal and external pressure — the tens of thousands of li of space could at any moment shatter completely like a high-pressure canister.

Finally,

Boom!

Within the endlessly trembling tens of thousands of li of heaven and earth, the proto-magnetic order runes blazed suddenly; that sun, at an unimaginable terrifying speed, transformed into a light in which order was nearly invisible, carrying terrifying killing intent as it slashed toward the sky.

At the same time, the Heaven-Splitting Giant Axe, condensed with tens of thousands of li of force-order, hacked down to meet it.

The instant the two made contact, heaven and earth fell still.

Then, soundlessly — rings upon rings of space shattered soundlessly, rings upon rings of order were destroyed; amid the terrifying aftershock of the attack, heaven and earth were left with only a stretch of pitch-black starry sky, and swaying, unsteady threads of the heaven-and-earth rule-law net.

No one knew how long passed.

Boom!

A flying sword flew back, its spiritual light dimmed slightly.

"Jiang Ding Zi…"

Dark Heaven

Ancient Emperor's Son murmured.

He held his giant axe, commanding an array of nine million elite imperial-race troops, standing tall in the pitch-black starry sky; behind him circled the phantom of a Great Strength War God, radiating a terrifying aura.

In this strike, he held a slight upper hand.

Even with the power of the Great Strength War God added to him, he could only hold some upper hand.

This shocked and terrified Dark Heaven and the many Imperial Sons and Ancient Imperial Sons.

They could not understand why such terrifying power lurked within the body of a mere peak-General-realm human, with no end in sight.

This exceeded the bounds of their immortal-path vision; they could not imagine it.

"Kill!"

The slightest softness was instantly cast out of mind by every Imperial Son of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Ming Tian roared wildly, gripping the Heaven-Sundering Giant Axe as he strode forward in great steps.

He commanded nine million troops of the Imperial Clan, the power of the Great Strength War God bestowed upon his body, endless force-order runes swirling around him—exquisite and beautiful. Facing that blue-robed youth in the starry sky, no bigger than a mosquito, he brought the axe down again and again in frenzied chops, shattering star rivers, shattering countless orders.

"Such bravery in all of you brings great comfort to my heart…"

Jiang Ding revealed a smile.

He stepped upon the star-river orders, walking step by step. With every sword drawn, order-magnetism spanning tens of thousands of li would surely manifest, a resplendent great sun would surely soar into the sky, and a hazy sword-path world would swirl around him as he met the Heaven-Sundering Giant Axe that filled the starry sky, slashing down head-on.

Axe against sword, neither retreating nor dodging, they clashed head-on in a frenzy of slaughter.

The Six-Path Orders and the pure force-orders intersected again and again, shattering one another.

Boundless spiritual light burst forth, heaven and earth overturned, star rivers and orders shattered, the entire starry sky blazed with radiance, and the Minor Thousand Worlds revolved again and again between brightness and darkness.
