Chapter 1227: A Chaotic Order Comparable to Rules

In the sky, a sword Dao world blazing with light appeared!

This was the Sword Realm, the fifth realm of sword Dao.

This realm domain had appeared before; back in the day, Zou Zou Xiyuan had reached the fifth realm of the Sword Realm at the early stage of Soul Transformation, which was practically the standard for every generation's Great Sun Sword Child during the Soul Transformation stage, and the closer to the present era, the more so.

This did not exceed the calculations of the nine great Sword Children.

But what horrified them was that within that dazzling Great Sun sword Dao world, six ceaselessly cycling vortices emanated auras of destruction, law-annihilation, yuan magnetism, and the like—clearly pure forces of the natural world, yet also radiating the auras of the six paths: Heavenly Dao, Asura Dao, Human Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and so on.

The power of the Great Sun, through the endless circulation of the six paths and an incomparably complex structure, saw its aura surge wildly, and like a miracle, charcoal became diamond, sand became crystal cores.

Within that dazzling Great Sun sword Dao world, a power on the level of rules was contained!

"Six Paths Reincarnation!"

"The racial inheritance of the Endless Starry Sky Hegemon!"

Tianji Sword Child roared.

Worthy of being the inheritance of the Heavenly Mystery Dao of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong of the Upper Realm—there were not many things in the cosmic starry sky that this sect's inheritance did not encompass.

At these words, many Sword Children revealed expressions of sudden understanding, followed by the utmost envy.

This was one of the inheritances left behind by the supreme experts of the human race.

It cared nothing for birth, nothing for qualifications—as long as one had the ability, was of pure human blood, had no demon race bloodline, and had not transplanted any demon beast body, one could comprehend it without any threshold, even if one were a lowly rogue cultivator, or even a beggar.

This kind of human-race inheritance, comprehended spontaneously, perfectly suited immortal cultivators; its might varied, but each and every one possessed incomparably deep potential.

Throughout the ages, who knew how many heroes and outstanding figures of the human race had, through racial inheritance, completed terrifying leaps far surpassing those of their own sects and factions—how many times it had happened in some remote corner, where a human-race prodigy appeared out of thin air, sweeping across all directions, completing a gorgeous transformation that left all races fearful and unable to comprehend.

This—this was the inheritance of the Endless Starry Sky Hegemon race!

This race's foundation ran far too deep!

Don't be fooled by how ordinary they looked, weak in every part of body and soul, but the moment an absolute prodigy mutated into existence, they would instantly erupt with terrifying power, illuminating a stretch of starry sky, dominating a stretch of starry sky.

At this moment, in this stretch of starry sky named Jiao Jiao Mingyu and Jiuling Domain, such an event had once again occurred.

An event that had appeared countless times over countless eons had, once again, occurred beneath the starry sky, within the human race.

In a daze, it seemed as if no one knew how many ancient absolute prodigies of the human race cast their gazes toward this place—blessings, killing intent, indifference, and so on.

History and the present, at this moment, intersected.

"Jiuling!"

Tianji Sword Child growled lowly.

With him at the center, countless Heavenly Mystery divination artifacts—grass roots, tortoise shells, bamboo sticks, knotted cords, burned bones, abacuses, and so on—emerged, blooming with streaks of Heavenly Mystery order runes, enveloping the four directions, forming sheets of Heavenly Mystery law-net.

Hum!

Brother Xuanwu Sword Child's Undying Order, solid, adamantine and indestructible, impervious to ten thousand tribulations; Five Elements Sword Child's Five Elements Order of life and death, endlessly cycling; Taiyi Qingmu Sword Child Ji Liuyue's Order of Life; Shadow Demon Sword Child's Order of Shadow... the eight great orders, with the Heavenly Mystery Order as their foundation, began to entwine, rotate, and recombine, undergoing world-shaking changes in an instant—changes like a qualitative leap.

In an instant, a heavy and terrifying chaotic aura spilled out, collapsing the cosmic star rivers—not rules, yet manifesting the power of rules.

"Another Void-Grade Order..."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun gripped tightly the core of his warship's supercomputer and drew a deep breath.

This generation's eight great sects' nine great Sword Children's strength far exceeded that of the previous generation's Sword Children.

If Zou Zou Xiyuan of those days were resurrected and returned to the Soul Transformation stage, she would likely be slain by them forming a great array and joining forces!

However, Zou Zou Xiyuan might not be afraid; instead, she would fall into wild ecstasy.

The reason she possessed that kind of strength back then,

was because the eight great Sword Children of those days were too weak!

If the eight great Sword Children of those days had been at a different level, she might have died, but at the same time she might have also surpassed her own limits, possessed even greater power and an even deeper foundation—opportunity and risk coexisting.

This seemed to be a kind of convergent evolution.

Fierce and cruel interspecies struggle forced living beings to progress; generation after generation of selection, in the end only Sword Children and sects strong enough could survive.

The heavy and chaotic aura bloomed between heaven and earth, clashing, mutually offsetting and annihilating, causing even the star rivers solidified under the Six Paths Order to begin moving again, regaining vitality.

"Kill!"

Brother Xuanwu Sword Child roared.

At this moment, chaotic aura cloaked his entire body—the power formed by the recombination and union of the nine great orders—like a primordial divine spirit born at the dawn of cosmic chaos. With both hands he thrust open a colossal sky-shield forged from Brother Xuanwu divine metal; the shield expanded boundlessly, forming an elliptical vault of azure sky that shielded the nine great Sword Children.

The Great Sun Destruction sword Dao world arrived as scheduled.

A world of a sun descended upon the Xuan-gold vault of azure sky, yet there was only silence, a sizzling sound—order crumbled into ash and was annihilated, cosmic rules snapped and melted.

Even the rules of Heavenly Dao were no longer fixed; everything fell into chaotic unknown. The vault transformed from Brother Xuanwu divine metal continuously melted, pure-gold scalding liquid ceaselessly flowing down, leaving deep spatial fissures hundreds of kilometers long crisscrossing the starry sky, unable to heal.

The instant the light dispersed, the scene within was also revealed.

The vault of azure sky, shrouded in chaotic aura, had mostly melted away, revealing within it layer upon layer of emerald-green branches, five-colored threads of endlessly cycling Five Elements, a night sky of silent shadow, a world of ten thousand beasts roaring... all of this collapsed beneath the Great Sun Destruction world, pierced through, with countless beings wounded and killed, the world ravaged beyond recognition, as if entering the moment of finality.

However, within those collapsing ruins, countless green plants grew, new leaves broke through the soil, the qi of the Five Elements sprang into existence from nothing, the silent night sky appeared once more, ten thousand beasts revived again, and the damaged vault of azure sky, supported by tremendous power, writhed and frantically restored itself—terrifying beyond compare.

Yet, amid the collapsing ruins, countless green plants grew, new leaves broke through the soil, the Qi of the Five Elements sprang into being from nothing, the silent night sky appeared once more, the ten thousand beasts revived again, and the damaged vault of the azure heavens, supported by an immense power, writhed as it restored itself with frantic speed—terrifying beyond measure.

"it's the Nine Heavens Spirit-Melting Art."

Beside Jiang Ding, the Taiqing flying sword rose and fell, revealing a thoughtful expression: "During the great tribulation, the nine great sects of the Upper Realm were forced to unite against the enemy, and thus developed this astonishing secret art. Time and again they used the weak to defeat the strong—by using this art to smelt the nine great orders, they could transform them into a chaotic rule that encompasses all..."

"However, the fact that you can employ it still surpasses the previous generation's Sword Children by quite a lot."

"In the Great Sun inheritance I obtained, within the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong of the Upper Realm, this level of strength could also make one an inheritance disciple, not a nobody. Given the barrenness of Jiuling Domain, this is simply a miracle!"

"If resources were extremely abundant, your strength would advance considerably once more."

"Of course, this sovereign is the same."

"Therefore, you are not my equal."

"Therefore, you are all inferior to me."
