Chapter 1243: The Immortal Sect's Seventh-Tier Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow

"Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword!"

"It's been a long time…"

Among the Star Demon Tree and the billions of warships, he smiled at the immortal sect cultivators on his left and right, calm and composed, with the bearing of a great general.

Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword!

At the same time, detailed information about this treasure appeared in the minds of all the immortal sect cultivators, including Jiang Ding.

Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace had brought down two of the most important sect-guarding supreme treasures from the upper realm, forming the ultimate foundation of its sect.

Although it was a Void Refinement-grade treasure, its materials and refinement methods far exceeded the limits of any Unity Dao faction; it possessed profound potential, a terrifying object personally forged by the strongest expert of a near-immortal-grade faction, given as a reliance for the future inheriting seeds of his own sect.

One of these two sect-guarding supreme treasures was called the Heavenly Palace, the inheritance core and faith core of Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace. The current whereabouts of this supreme treasure were unknown; it should have taken the Brother Xuanwu Prodigy and a batch of sect seeds far away from this battlefield, fleeing to an unknown place, waiting for the outcome of the Unity Dao battle.

The other supreme treasure brought down from the upper realm was the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword!

This supreme treasure specialized in slaughter. In the era when the Jiudaxian Sect besieged the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, a great expert of Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace used this sword to gravely wound the Great Sun Sword Master Zou Zou Xiyuan, a major factor in her fall.

At this moment, the great expert of Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace, clad in the Wings of Garuda, wielding the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword, traced a zigzagging trajectory and charged toward the billions of warships of the immortal sect, moving so fast he seemed to become light; hundreds of thousands of kilometers of starry sky could not bar his way.

Boom!

Boom, boom!

The banyan-orbit destruction cannon fired beam after beam of light; the magnetic Heavenly Dao law-net reflected everything, annihilating all foes in the heavens—a single strike could slaughter the mortal body of a Unity Dao Divine Monarch.

"Slash!"

The great expert of Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace growled.

In an instant, the nine-zhang golden figure within the Immortal Rule Heavenly Dao law-net, wielding the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword, slashed out three swords in a single moment—three streaks of golden light that cleaved open the Heavenly Dao and tore apart the Heavenly Dao law-net.

The three destructive beams consequently slowed slightly.

The next moment, a thunderous explosion erupted between heaven and earth; tens of thousands of kilometers of void turned to chaos, rules shattered, space dissolved, nothing existed any longer, all matter and energy particles returned to the moment of creation, bearing no further acquired influence.

And within that destructive explosion, a nine-zhang golden figure clad in the Wings of Garuda burst forth, brimming with towering killing intent.

He bore wounds; much of his Jin Jia had melted into liquid metal, revealing dark-red skin, but this did not diminish his increasingly frenzied momentum.

A Unity Dao Divine Monarch, suppressing all directions.

He had already broken through to within a hundred thousand kilometers of the immortal sect fleet!

"The Unity Dao Divine Monarch of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong keeps exceeding our prior estimates; the Unity Dao cultivator model built on the basis of Horned Darkness Sovereign is simply not precise."

"He is far too weak."

Senior Wanji True Sovereign said coldly.

His Void Refinement rule was the light-like transmission and control of information; within the billions of warships of the immortal sect he oversaw communication, playing an important auxiliary role in the formation of the fleet's collective will and the unity of divine-soul computing power.

"Activate Contingency Plan Two."

Yuan commanded.

"Yes!"

Great Sun Canghai Tianjun, Divine Mechanism True Sovereign, and others responded with a thunderous roar.

Rumble~

The void trembled, the deep layers of space churned; countless magnetic Heavenly Dao law-nets parted and encircled, boundless hazy chaotic qi spread in all directions, and sharp golden light surged upward.

Amid these various prodigies, a terrifying slaughtering weapon emerged.

It was a dark-gold arrow nine thousand kilometers long.

This colossal object was densely covered with dark azure runes, every pattern containing billions upon billions of densely packed rule-restrictions, further wreathed in the aura of Jin Zhi's karma curse, innately resonating with sun, moon, and stars, the center of the Heavenly Dao, the favored child of countless magnetic rules.

This object was called the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow!

One of the most important projects of the immortal sect's "Heaven-Dao Hunting Plan," this arrow possessed a thousand years of self-sustaining mobility, could autonomously track and lock onto enemies, and then annihilate them in a single strike.

In the plan, the immortal sect would use this arrow to patrol the immortal sect's territory and the endless starry sky, integrating reconnaissance and strike; upon discovering a Unity Dao enemy, it would destroy them.

The cost was also extremely terrifying.

The arrow body was entirely forged from peak Void Refinement-grade No. 1 Synthetic Synthetic Gengjin and peak Void Refinement-grade Great Sun Synthetic Gengjin; the arrowhead was forged from Unity Dao-grade No. 1 Synthetic Synthetic Gengjin, which was still in the laboratory and could not be mass-produced.

The sharpest tip of the arrowhead was forged from nine tons of Po Fa Xian Jin!

It could be said they had spared no expense, nearly emptying the immortal sect's accumulated ten-thousand-year stock of Po Fa Xian Jin; even that was not enough, so they also smelted many inherited treasures and warships, extracting the Po Fa Xian Jin from them once more, and only then was it barely sufficient.

This was only the material of the arrow body.

Upon this nine-thousand-kilometer giant arrow, countless immortal sect cultivators spent over a thousand years inscribing three seventh-tier "Taibai Youming Divine Prohibitions" centered on Jin Zhi's karma, including Void Refinement True Sovereigns and Great Sun Canghai Tianjun; many immortal sect cultivators paid with their own essence-blood to inscribe these prohibitions, suffering great damage to their vitality, their cultivation even falling in part.

Such an enormous price was paid precisely to forge this nine-thousand-kilometer-long Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow!

Hum!

Hum, hum!

At this moment, as the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow entered the banyan-orbit destruction cannon, endless heaven-and-earth spiritual qi and cosmic starlight came rolling in; a tragic baleful aura instantly blotted out the sky, filling the star river, even freezing all things in the void, the Heavenly Dao rule law-net growing sluggish beyond endurance.

"Ding!"

"Solar Star, please provide correction…"

The command of the central array-spirit computer was issued.

"Yes!"

Jiang Ding's expression grew solemn; he cast a magic decision, and then all of his magic power poured into the Taiqing Flying Sword, amplifying the sword's enemy-sensing ability to the limit.

The seventh-tier grand array also diverted part of its computing power at this moment to assist the Taiqing Flying Sword in seeking the enemy.

Senior Wanji True Sovereign, Divine Mechanism True Sovereign, Tao Qing True Sovereign, and others at the Tianshu Star and Yuheng Star array nodes likewise scattered streak after streak of light; billions of spell torrents involving amplified sharpness, amplified curses, and amplified law-breaking were cast forth, all falling upon the nine-thousand-kilometer dark-gold giant arrow, which devoured them entirely.

Under the amplification of the seventh-tier array, Jiang Ding's divine sense became infinitely vast.

He was soaring within the magnetic Heavenly Dao rule law-net, his divine sense sweeping over each point one by one; his comprehension of the magnetic rules suddenly deepened greatly, but at this moment he completely ignored it, not immersing himself within, and instead, with the Taiqing Flying Sword as the core and the seventh-tier array's computing power as support, his sword intent scanned the void.

Clang!

Finally, a sword chime rang out.

At a point where the Immortal Rules and the Yuan Magnet Rules mingled and clashed violently, a nine-zhang golden figure looked toward him. Its gaze was icy and blood-red, causing an involuntary trembling — this was the vast chasm between the very essences of life, the gaze of an apex predator, unavoidable.

"Lock acquired."

Jiang Ding let the trembling within his divine soul run its course, neither resisting nor fighting it, and carefully savored it as he said coldly, "Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow, activate."

"Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow, activate."

"Fire!"

The Grand Array of Myriad Heavens Qingfeng Beidou Taibai Youming Curse-Slaughter — Taiyin Star — roared at the top of his lungs.

Boom!

Billions upon billions of strands of Heaven's Yuan Magnet Rules and Heaven's Law-Net trembled and warped. The trunks of the divine tree Shenmu Shenmu Futianrong, rooted throughout the entire world, each as thick as a mountain peak, snapped and shattered. The Immortal Gate's fleet of billions of warships fell into momentary chaos, swaying unsteadily, battered by that terrifying recoil.

Rumble!

Amid the dazzling, terrifying radiance of Heaven's Rules, the tail fins of the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrol Arrow blazed with light as it slowly powered up.

At first, its speed was very slow — even slower than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator — but as the tail fins spewed radiance, its velocity climbed steadily. Within an extremely short span of time, the nine-thousand-kilometer dark-gold giant arrow broke through the speed limit of Refining Void, fully merging into the Yuan Magnet Heaven's Law-Net, attaining a speed terrifying even among Path-Combining Divine Monarchs, and hurtled toward its locked target.
