Chapter 1343

Slanting wind, fine rain; wind blows, rain lashes.

One hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred golden threads of karmic sword light slashed into the Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Primal Transformation Great Array; although blocked by numerous rule-based thunder killing formations, they were like phantoms, piercing through layer after layer, unable to stop the golden threads and golden light from seeping into the array.

"What kind of sword is this?"

Wan Lei Zhen Zun suddenly felt great fear, a chill rising in his heart.

For he discovered that these one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred golden thread sword lights missed not a single spot; all slashed precisely at the nodes of the sect's ancestral great array, with no fog or confusion whatsoever.

Once these sword lights struck true, this immensely vast array, painstakingly refined by the sect's ancestral masters over more than one hundred thousand years, would instantly collapse like building blocks, turn to dust, and possess no power to resist anymore.

This is the ultimate sword for breaking arrays!

What kind of barrier-breaking talisman, what kind of realm-breaking talisman, could shine under this single sword strike?

Arrays, which in the Cultivation World have always been renowned for their strength and ability to fight across realms, were now so fragile, like eggshells, seemingly ready to shatter with a mere flick of a finger, not even as strong as a single late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

"How does he know all the array nodes and how to break the array?"

"Has a traitor appeared within the sect?"

"This is impossible! The sect's array has been passed down orally by only one Supreme Elder through generations; even if a Void Refinement cultivator of the sect were captured and their soul searched, it would be impossible for anyone to know..."

Wan Lei Zhen Zun's mind was in utter chaos.

But quickly, under that deathly pressure so cold it suffocated, he had no more stray thoughts; his eyes went wild, staring fixedly at that young man in green robes in the distance.

"You dare break our sect's great array,"

"Then you shall die!"

Wan Lei Zhen Zun let out a wild roar, suddenly burning his essence blood!

In that instant, his control over the array greatly strengthened; the array roared into operation, variables increased massively, and the array's complexity surged in a short time, instantly causing many golden karmic threads to lose their precise targets, creating a bit of chaos.

Countless thunders gathered toward the center; numerous green and purple thunders merged into one; numerous thunder rules intertwined and coalesced; gradually, a golden-red thunder appeared in Wan Lei Zhen Zun's hand.

Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Transformations God-Slaying Divine Thunder!

This was a thunder killing move nurtured for countless years within the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect's great array; extremely rare, possessing terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

In the past, when unleashed, even Blood Lake Zhen Zun, who commanded millions of demonic and ghostly Dao soldiers and fought alongside numerous Void Refinement brothers and sisters, had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge and dared not face it head-on.

"Kill!"

Wan Lei Zhen Zun roared.

Zzzz~

Whoosh!

The Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Transformations God-Slaying Divine Thunder, carrying terrifying killing intent, vanished instantly, locked onto the terrifying enemy bringing the sect to the brink of annihilation via the array; no matter how the opponent shifted positions, it was useless; like a festering sore on the bone, it instantly rushed to strike.

"An attack exceeding the Void Refinement limit..."

Jiang Ding's gaze turned a scorching white.

This was boiling killing intent, the core of the Great Sun Sword Dao, whose essence had always been qi deviation from beginning to end.

Even the strongest Great Sun Sword Disciple of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion in hundreds of thousands of years could not escape it; instead, he fell into an even deeper desire for slaughter, and without the blood of a strong one to irrigate him, he would inevitably explode and die.

Upon sensing a strong one, its instinct partially awakened.

Although it was only an instant of awakening before immediately hiding again, it was insufficient to make it boil with bloodlust.

Although it was only a momentary awakening, immediately hidden again, it was not enough to make its blood boil.

"You have brought me a surprise; this is very good."

Jiang Ding ignored the golden-red thunder rushing toward him.

Jiang Ding paid no heed to the gold-red Lei Ting that shot toward him.

Whoosh whoosh!

Around, numerous golden threads of sword light that had lost their precise targets gathered like a school of fish, forming wisps of drifting raindrops that fluttered and fell onto the tens of thousands of kilometers of land.

Around them, the many array-breaking golden threads that had lost their precise targets gathered like schools of Jin Chong Guang, forming wisps of drifting raindrops that fluttered and scattered, falling upon the tens of thousands of kilometers of land below.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect's great array killing move, the Ten Thousand Transformations God-Slaying Divine Thunder, collided with a single golden raindrop, producing a massive explosion; the golden threads contained special power with extremely strong specific attack against array killing moves; after one collision, the Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Transformations God-Slaying Divine Thunder's spiritual light dimmed slightly, which did not affect anything.

The killing move of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect's grand array, the Myriad Transformations God-Slaying Thunder, struck a wisp of golden raindrop and let out a tremendous explosion. That array-breaking golden thread contained a special power, possessing an extremely strong special attack against array-killing moves. After one collision, the spiritual light of the Nine Heavens Myriad Transformations God-Slaying Thunder dimmed slightly, which did not affect anything.

How many such raindrops were there in this world?

How many of these raindrops exist in this stretch of heaven and earth?

The Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Transformations God-Slaying Divine Thunder moved through the rain; drop by drop, golden thread raindrops fell upon this terrifying golden-red rule thunder, gradually erasing its ferocity; its spiritual light slowly dimmed.

This terrifying array power, whose strength exceeded the peak of Void Refinement and began to touch beyond the limit, should have destroyed heaven and earth and broken all defenses; now, it encountered its natural counter, and under the obstruction of rain threads drifting in the sky, its power and aura constantly weakened, until finally, it collapsed into a wisp of spiritual light and vanished.

The final afterglow of this Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Transformations God-Slaying Divine Thunder could not even break space; it was extremely weak.

At the same time, those golden thread sword lights that were not blocked, totaling thirteen thousand, simultaneously slashed into the nodes of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect's ancestral array.

At the same time, the golden-thread sword-lights that had not been intercepted numbered thirteen thousand in total, simultaneously slicing into the gaps between the nodes of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect's sect-protecting array.

In that instant, such a sound appeared throughout heaven and earth.

This was not one sound, but countless sounds; countless sounds of array nodes shattering occurred at the same instant, thus sounding incredibly loud, clearly audible even amidst the roaring thunder.

This was not a single sound, but countless sounds—countless sounds of array nodes shattering—occurring in the same instant, thus appearing incomparably loud, clearly audible even amid the rumbling thunder.

Looking out over the land, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect underwent a cataclysmic change at this moment.

Within tens of thousands of kilometers, countless mountain peaks collapsed, the earth tore apart, and countless deep gorges appeared in heaven and earth.

Magma surged from the ground, and mountains and rivers overturned.

The entire world fell into a boiling state, undulating constantly; the earth veins and earth qi serving as the array's foundation were completely chaotic.

Only the thunder mountain peak at the very center barely maintained stability, like a small boat bobbing up and down in the ocean, striving to keep the sect's great array from completely collapsing.

Wan Lei Zhen Zun's premonition was not wrong at all.

If not for the partial interception midway, a single sword strike would have caused the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect's great array, refined over more than one hundred thousand years through the hard work of ancestral masters and countless sect cultivators, serving as the sect's final reserve, to completely collapse and crumble, with no possibility of survival.

Had it not been partially intercepted along the way, a single sword strike alone would have caused the great formation—refined over more than a hundred thousand years by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect, painstakingly constructed by generations of patriarchs and countless cultivators of the sect, and serving as the sect's ultimate foundation—to completely collapse and crumble, with no possibility of survival whatsoever.

However, even so, the sect-protecting grand formation had Suffered Heavy damage, its power rapidly declining.

"The sect, the sect…"

"No, the foundation built by generations of ancestors…"

A bone-chilling, suffocating premonition arose in the hearts of the hundreds of millions of cultivators of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect—even in the hearts of the Void Refinement Old Ancestors—filling them with boundless, endless terror.

"The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect will absolutely not perish in my hands!"

"Absolutely not!"

Wan Lei True Honored One let out a shrill, anguished roar, going completely mad.

At this moment, he utterly forgot every risk, every path of retreat, completely burning his own essence blood, divine soul, and fleshly body—burning absolutely everything. Even drawn in by the qi resonance, the bodies of numerous Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Sect disciples began to burn.

Power like Rushan and the seas poured into the formation's core. Across tens of thousands of li of space, dark clouds gathered, lightning serpents rolled, and streak upon streak of golden-red Lei Ting wove themselves into an incomparably towering, incomparably majestic Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon.

This force took yet another step beyond the peak of Void Refinement!

"Roar!"

"Roar, roar!"

The Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon bellowed, its blood-filled maw gaping wide as it lunged to devour the blue-robed youth on the earth below.

The power of hundreds of millions of Heavenly Dao rules at this moment practically materialized, forming a boundless, endless vortex that drew in everything, swallowed everything—every single thing was pulled by the thunder vortex and dropped into the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon's massive maw.
