Chapter 1331: The Prototype of the Immortal Technique Exclusive to the Heavenly Lord: Strong Interaction Force Water Droplet

A broken arm retreated backward in the Jin Chong Guang and Jin Zhi fine rain.

The originally white and slender arm had now lost all its skin, flesh, and blood, leaving only the arm bone; even the bone was dull, covered in cracks and pits, with the index finger and thumb completely gone, leaving only three mangled fingers.

"Ah..."

The Blood Lake Ancestor's wail rose in the Human Realm, only to be silenced by the omnipresent arrays around him, emitting no spiritual sense fluctuations nor physical sound waves.

Only his mouth opened and closed soundlessly.

"Blood Lake Daoist, your mind is not firm enough."

"It does not match the cruelty and coldness of a Blood Path cultivator, whose Dao heart views hundreds of millions of living beings as pigs and dogs; you are not ruthless enough toward yourself."

Jiang Ding sighed slightly: "It is merely some injury to the fragmented soul, why such exaggeration? You are an old thing over twenty thousand years old, yet still so fragile; truly inappropriate."

"You claimed you would surely advance to Dao Integration in the future?"

"Now it seems that was too arrogant, with a certain gap from reality..."

He shook his head.

It could be seen that at the instant the soul was fragmented, the Blood Lake Ancestor's strength declined, beginning to slide from his peak state; the essence of his soul had been damaged, a very great impact.

It could be said that the already extremely slim hope of Dao Integration was now reduced by half again.

"You wild sword cultivator!"

"You seek death!"

The Blood Lake Ancestor stopped wailing, clutching his mangled left arm, and roared: "The Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain is a subordinate force of the Profound Heaven Qi Sect; once this incident occurs, it will draw the Qi Sect's attention."

"You are surely doomed; no one can save you!"

"Is that truly so?"

Jiang Ding remained noncommittal.

Clang!

A few intersecting spiritual sense thoughts did not affect the attack of the Great Clarity Flying Sword in the sky.

She traced a graceful arc across the sky; the Jin Chong Guang and Jin Zhi fine rain throughout the heavens converged at one point, all falling onto that blue-gold sword body.

Endless golden light shone brilliantly; the azure Yuan Magnetic Order pushed countless twisted fine rain threads, curling them into a mass that became a single water droplet.

Hundreds of millions of raindrops became one droplet!

This was an oval water droplet, piercing through endless space and endless rules, vanishing from sight.

Endless coldness shrouded the sky and earth for tens of thousands of kilometers.

The cold was omnipresent and all-encompassing, yet clearly reflected in the hearts of all living beings who were not the sword master; bone-chilling cold, nearly driving one mad.

"This prototype sword technique..."

"Is in the form of a water droplet..."

Jiang Ding suddenly felt a shudder of fear; some realization appeared in his heart.

"A water droplet possesses a hard, smooth shell composed of strong interaction force material,

its atoms pinned down by the strong interaction force, molecular thermal motion almost completely halted, causing the droplet's surface temperature to approach absolute zero infinitely."

"Furthermore, the strong interaction's compression of the atoms arranges the droplet's shell atoms very neatly, creating a surface infinitely close to perfectly smooth..."

"Hahaha..."

"Blood Lake, you are a good Void Refinement cultivator!"

"I wronged you!"

Jiang Ding suddenly laughed wildly, dancing and waving his arms, performing a dance in place: the Immortal Gate calisthenics "The Young Eagle Takes Flight Art."

Who knew what madness had seized him; it was very abnormal.

This madness, upon him, seemed very normal.

"Damn it!"

"This madman!"

The Blood Lake Ancestor could no longer care about that side.

His soul trembled; the bone-chilling death instinct omen nearly made him lose reason, sensing only a terrifying danger approaching, yet unable to know where the danger came from.

In his desperation, he gritted his teeth.

Without any hesitation, he instantly burned a drop of essence blood involving his own potential, transforming it into vast magic power that surged into his Ben Ming Fa treasure, the Flesh and Blood Shanfeng.

Amidst the poisonous curses and wails of tens of millions of half-dead, half-alive living beings, countless pale arms broke from the earth, extending infinitely, erecting palm barriers around his body.

These pale palms bore blood-light like glazed glass, solid and indestructible; even a peak Void Refinement cultivator could not break this defense.

Yet, the cold omen in the Blood Lake Ancestor's heart showed no sign of easing!

"Damn it..."

The Blood Lake Ancestor roared.

He once again recklessly activated his magic power and spiritual sense; a row of nine blood-jade skull heads rose around him, countless array patterns spreading outward along rule paths, instantly forming the Blood Lake Vajra Womb Great Array.

"Amitabha!"

"Benefactor, please cease hostilities..."

A blood-jade head monk appeared within the Blood Lake Vajra Womb Great Array; though beneath his feet lay a mountain of hundreds of millions of living beings' bones and around him flowed the fresh blood of countless creatures, a look of compassion appeared on his face; no one knew for which living being in the world this compassion was meant, nor where it came from.

The Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain's inherited precious treasure: the Nine Jade Head Monk Buddha Beads!

Legend has it that an ancestor of the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain slew nine Void Refinement Buddhist disciples in succession, using their incense cores and their own essence blood to refine this string of Buddha beads, making it the strongest spatial treasure passed down by the Blood Lake Corpse Bone Mountain.

Around the blood-jade head monk, spatial array patterns appeared in sequence; in the blink of an eye, thirty-six layers of blood-jade Vajra shields rose, protecting the Blood Lake Ancestor heavily within.

Everything happened in an instant.

At this moment, the golden-threaded water droplet from the Blood Lake Ancestor's instinctive omen finally arrived.

Evolved from the prototype of an immortal technique, Jin Zhi causality wrapped its shell, granting it a hard shell similar to strong interaction force material; the droplet's interior approached absolute zero infinitely, its exterior infinitely smooth, external friction resistance approaching zero infinitely; after accelerating over a hundred thousand kilometers, its momentum had reached an extremely terrifying degree.

At this moment, all the powers on this water droplet comparable to rules — the order of primordial magnetism, the order of destruction, the order of forbidden law, and so on — vanished without a trace, ground away in the extreme high speed, unable to exist.

What existed was only the extreme of power and speed!

This kind of pure force, similar to body cultivation, even smashed through the obstruction of the Heavenly Dao's rules, breaking through everything with speed and force, descending upon the Vajra Shield of the Blood Lake Vajra Womb Array.

In an instant, this smooth water droplet touched the Vajra Shield.

The world froze for a moment.

Then,

Boom—!

Starting from the point where the smooth water droplet made contact, the thirty-six layers of the Vajra Shield of the Blood Lake Vajra Womb Array shattered one after another, like an illusory bubble, like an illusion.

As if this were not a supreme treasure capable of withstanding the attacks of a peak Refining Void cultivator without damage, but merely a bubble blown by a mortal child.

The instant the water droplet touched the bubble, the thirty-six layers of the Blood Jade Vajra Shield shattered completely.

No!

It was not only the Blood Lake Vajra Womb Array!

The instant the water droplet touched a physical body, the countless densely packed Blood Jade Glazed Palms around the Blood Lake Ancestor, as well as that mountain of flesh and blood, all shattered; countless Blood Jade spiritual lights and fragments of flesh and blood turned into a pulp of blood and flesh.

"No…"

The Blood Lake Ancestor screamed.

Half of his body shattered piece by piece; his body, like a broken leather ball, was smashed back several thousand kilometers and slammed violently into the ground.

A strong premonition of death rose in his heart — in such a fragile state, just one sword strike from the sword cultivator and he would die, with no possibility of survival.

However, that sword strike did not fall.

"Puh—!"

The blue-clothed youth in the sky spat fresh blood, retreating backward several hundred kilometers, having suffered a terrifying heavy blow, with injuries equally dreadful, no better off than the Blood Lake Ancestor.

This was not a perfected sword strike!

He suffered the backlash of the sword art; both the flying sword and his main body were gravely wounded!

"Hahaha…"

Yet Jiang Ding was laughing wildly, laughing loudly while spitting blood.

"Blood Lake!"

"You are a good Refining Void — I must say it once more!"

"This Sovereign has glimpsed the possibility of an immortal art being born! An immortal art belonging solely to myself! Old bastard, I will remember you forever…"
