Chapter 1244: The Terrifying Inheritance of the Upper Realm

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow patrolled the heavens, patrolling the endless starry skies of the Jiao Jiao Mingyu realm!

Its arrow body was nine thousand kilometers long, like a pillar of the firmament, yet it did not appear heavy or clumsy, taking a form that was both solid and illusory, fully merging into the magnetic rule-law net of the Heavenly Dao.

It traveled along the path of rules, entering an entirely new trajectory, encountering resistance infinitely close to zero.

In this state of fusion with the magnetic Heavenly Dao rule-law net, the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow could suppress a realm for a thousand years!

This was the ruling power of a realm hegemon.

At this moment, as the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow merged into the Heavenly Dao, an overwhelming killing intent bloomed between heaven and earth, freezing the four directions, solidifying the rules, and even the operation of the indestructible Heavenly Dao rule-law net began to grow sluggish and unbearable.

"This!"

"What is this thing?"

The great cultivator of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace transformed into a nine-zhang golden figure, bearing Garuda wings on his back, wielding the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword, possessing the ultimate speed under heaven. He successively shattered the banyan-tree orbital annihilation cannon beams that came blasting at him, invincible in all directions, forging ahead without retreat.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped, startled with horror.

Boom!

No need to wait for anything; something that made even a Dao-Unifying Divine Monarch tremble emerged from the cosmic starry sky.

A dark-gold giant arrow nine thousand kilometers long emerged from within the magnetic Heavenly Dao rule-law net, completing the process of re-entering the real cosmic starry sky. Endless magnetic Heavenly Dao rule power reinforced the arrow body, and that terrifying aura of law-annihilation, curses, and destruction practically took solid form, with beacon-like smoke rising soaringly into the sky.

"Cannot be met by force!"

The spiritual perception of the great cultivator of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace suddenly blared an alarm.

He executed rapid evasive maneuvers; the nine-zhang golden figure's Garuda wings flapped, his speed once again surging to a peak, nearly running shoulder-to-shoulder with the rules, and he thoroughly dove into the deeper layers of space, using concealment secret arts to mask his soul aura, rule aura, and karmic aura, vanishing completely from the cosmic starry sky.

Whoosh!

However, the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow did not falter; its speed remained unchanged as it traced a magnetic rule path, blasting off in another direction in the starry sky.

It arrived in an instant, like a bunker-busting missile as it dove into a deep-layer space, pursuing a frantically fleeing golden figure within.

"What the hell is this thing!"

The great cultivator of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace cursed viciously.

He fled frantically, yet could only watch helplessly as the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow drew closer and closer, like a thorn in his back.

At the instant the Sky-Patrolling Arrow was about to arrive, he abruptly turned around, no longer fleeing.

"Four Spirits, Brother Xuanwu Sword!"

The great cultivator of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace drew his sword.

He let out a frenzied roar, and a terrifying momentum erupted. Endless golden light filled the space between heaven and earth; endless heavy pressure smoothed the turbulence in the starry sky; the indestructible rule Heavenly Dao law-net

shone, indestructible and imperishable, coexisting with the world.

This sword was unleashed,

and a low roar and bellowing came from the void, hazy and indistinct.

A terrifying Brother Xuanwu that pierced through heaven and earth descended from higher in the starry sky, its pressure deep and profound, every minute detail rendered with hair-splitting clarity, as if an supreme existence bearing the name Brother Xuanwu had cast a glance toward this place, causing this Brother Xuanwu's might to surge violently. The indestructible rule-law net in this instant strengthened to the extreme, drawing one fraction closer to the Indestructible Great Dao.

"Swordsmanship?"

Jiang Ding instinctively began to comprehend; this was something he was extremely interested in, the very foundation of the Great Dao.

"No, it is not swordsmanship."

"There is no sword intent, no sword technique, it is purely a spell cast through a sword-shaped treasure!"

"Moreover, it must be a spell that can serve as a foundation among the Near-Immortal-level forces of the Upper Realm, a spell that is extremely compatible with the Four Spirits Evil-Slaying Sword…"

Various conjectures and results were incorporated into the collective will of the Citizen Fleet.

"Roar!"

The Brother Xuanwu Dharma Aspect that pierced through heaven and earth descended, its twin pupils even carrying a sense of vastness and indifference, as if ancient star gods had cast their gaze toward this place.

Clearly a Dharma Aspect illusion, yet it seemed to possess real flesh and blood; that surging, extreme qi and blood power nearly threatened to collapse the myriad rules of the void.

This Brother Xuanwu roared; the indestructible rules were applied by it to the extreme. The indestructible Heavenly Dao law-net twisted and rotated, transforming into a vortex, emitting an extremely terrifying attractive force. The starry sky, space, rules, and even the gazes of the observing cultivators' divine senses were forcibly drawn in and devoured.

This place had already transformed into a cosmic black hole!

Everything—rules, light, and gazes—could not escape, all pouring into the Brother Xuanwu's gaping maw.

Even the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow was no exception. Though it had been blasting toward the soul core of the great cultivator of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, at this moment it was affected by the black hole vortex generated by the indestructible rule-law net, forcibly pulled, flying toward the deepest part of the black hole.

Creak!

The nine-thousand-kilometer-long dark-gold giant arrow twisted and deformed under the terrifying gravity of the black hole vortex; the runes inscribed on the arrow body flickered unsteadily; the magnetic Heavenly Dao rule-law net draped over the arrow body began to sway, no longer transcendent.

Any cultivator with even a little experience in magical combat knew that if one allowed one's attack to fully enter the deepest part of the vortex, what a disadvantage one would suffer—even being extinguished was entirely possible.

This was the terrifying aspect of such a Void-Containing Mustard-Seed spell.

"Truly a terrifying inheritance from the Upper Realm…"

Yuan spoke in a cold whisper.

The great cultivator of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace had just advanced to Dao-Unification, was in a heavily injured state, and was further affected by curses. The hard power he wielded was far inferior to the combined might of the Immortal Gate's billions of warship battle formations, the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie Xing Chen Ding Gao Jie Formation, and the Zhutian Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Taibai Youming Curse-Slaying Grand Formation—even less than one-fifth of their power.

With such hard power, he had forcefully

managed to fight himself to a stalemate, and was not yet dead, even possessing the possibility of turning the tables. This was the terrifying inheritance from the Upper Realm.

"However, hard power is still power!"

"If five times the power is not enough, then six times, seven times, ten times!"

Yuan said in a stern voice.

Hum!

Under his command, the three great formations—the Immortal Gate's billions of warship battle formation, the Ding Gao Jie Formation, and the Zhutian Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Taibai Youming Curse-Slaying Grand Formation—all operated at overload simultaneously, madly devouring starlight and spiritual energy from the cosmic starry sky, forming torrents of Dao, and then spreading out an endlessly resplendent magnetic Heavenly Dao rule-law net that stretched into the boundless starry sky.

This magnetic Heavenly Dao law-net had no particularly ingenious structure; indeed, the way of formations found it difficult to compare with the finesse of a cultivator's personal magic power.

But the gathered spiritual energy and Heavenly Dao rule power were too terrifying, nearly nine times that of the indestructible Heavenly Dao rule-law net, with room to spare.

Such was the crude, open-and-aboveboard crushing of force!

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow, located within the vast Primordial Magnetic Heavenly Dao rule-law net, suddenly received an enormous influx of power. Its speed skyrocketed, instantly breaking free from the Immortal Vortex's restraints. The spiritual light on the arrow body and the Primordial Magnetic Heavenly Dao law net no longer flickered uncertainly, becoming steady once again.

Whoosh!

The Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow flexed its tail nimbly like a swimming fish. The arrowhead forged from Po Fa Xian Jin radiated a dim, chaotic light, possessing endless sharpness, completely ignoring the vortex formed by Immortal rules. It broke through from the vortex's flank, entirely escaping the vortex's influence.

Whoosh!

After breaking free from the Immortal rule vortex, the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow's speed suddenly skyrocketed. Its light was dazzling as it traveled through the Primordial Magnetic Heavenly Dao rule-law net. Amid Brother Brother Xuanwu's Heavenly Palace great power's horrified, wide-eyed gaze, it shot into the edge of Brother Brother Xuanwu's Dharma Aspect tortoise shell.

Boom!

This Dharma Aspect tortoise shell was solid as a physical entity, yet it still maintained terrifying defense beneath the arrowhead forged from Po Fa Xian Jin. The tortoise armor suddenly blazed with golden light, a net of Immortal regulations densely covering the entire shell, with Immortal runes blooming one after another.

However, it only resisted for an instant.

Under the influence of Po Fa Xian Jin and the countless law-breaking spells empowered by the Immortal Gate's many great formations and military arrays, this arrowhead could be called the sharpest in both the Nine Spirit Horn and Underworld domains!

Rules, karma, and Immortality were all fragile as paper beneath this Po Fa Xian Jin arrowhead. After resisting for an instant, the tortoise shell crumbled to dust, allowing the Taibai Youming Sky-Patrolling Arrow to pierce straight through.

Boom!

Brother Brother Xuanwu's Dharma Aspect shattered into pieces, with countless spiritual lights and rule fragments scattering in all directions.

"Puh!"

The instant Brother Brother Xuanwu's Dharma Aspect was broken, the Brother Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace great power vomited blood and retreated explosively, his face deathly pale as paper.

The aura on his body plummeted like a cliff, and the Immortal rule Heavenly Dao law-net star map that constantly surrounded him dimmed by several grades, suffering an extremely severe Great Dao wound.

"Run!"

After this one battle, the Brother Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace great power completely lost any thought of defeating his opponent.

He instantly ignited his essence blood, flapped his Garuda wings, his speed more than doubling. He merged into the Heavenly Dao rules, transforming into a terrifying golden light that surpassed the rules, madly fleeing toward the distant cosmic starry sky!
