Chapter 1360: The Sword Cultivator Encountered His Destined Foe

In the sky, the Six Paths of Reincarnation endlessly arose and perished.

Lei Ting the sword cultivator stood within the cycle of reincarnation, shattering heaven after heaven, his might blazing forth, destroying countless living beings, blasting apart the sky and earth; even dozens of Void Refinement cultivators here would all have perished, displaying without a doubt the terror of the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword realm.

Wherever the sword light of Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun passed, no enemy could withstand a single strike.

Yet everyone saw clearly that his aura was continuously weakening, his strength ceaselessly drained by the Six Paths of Reincarnation; he could not even tear through the Six Paths to escape beyond the boundary.

Has anyone ever heard of a being within reincarnation attaining liberation?

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun shattered heaven after heaven, only to face yet another heaven—boundless and endless. This was a despair nearly suffocating; all living beings within reincarnation must sink into ruin.

And in contrast to this, the overall aura of this Six Paths world was, astonishingly, continuously growing stronger!

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's terrifying attacks had, paradoxically, strengthened this world of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Within this world of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, all material energy circulated in a loop; no matter how much you destroyed, no matter how much you attacked, it was merely the transfer of matter, causing little loss to energy and material. Everything was an internal cycle; all attacks were useless.

This despair was suffocating.

Many sword cultivators looked toward that Great Sun sword cultivator who commanded the Six Paths of Reincarnation, their eyes filled with dread.

"The inheritance of the human race that dominates the Endless Starry Sky…"

"Immortal art inheritance…"

Xuan Yang Divine Monarch looked toward his Dao companion: "Are you certain he's a loose cultivator? Could it be something concocted by the Pure Yang lineage? The dominant position of the Sun and Moon inheritance absolutely cannot…"

His words were filled with killing intent.

A sword cultivator's sword can be turned not only outward, but also inward!

"Fool!"

"You finally have a bit of proper bearing!"

Xuan Yin Divine Monarch snorted coldly: "However, the Pure Yang lineage? They are not worthy!"

"The Sun inheritance is not something they can covet. This person's Gong Fa and the Sun inheritance share the same origin, yet differ greatly. As for immortal art inheritance, the Pure Yang lineage absolutely could not possess it!"

If the Sun and Moon inheritance is a near-immortal level power.

Then lineages such as Pure Yang and Pure Yin can at most be considered Dao Sects—perhaps extremely powerful existences among Dao Sects—but in the end, they are Dao Sects!

They are not qualified to step onto the peak stage of the Upper Realm, not qualified to possess immortal art inheritance.

"He should be the Sun inheritance from the past. That flying sword was refined from sixth-tier Taiqing Divine Iron!"

"This is a sect-exclusive inherited divine metal, unique to the Sun lineage. My eyes have not gone blind yet; I would not mistake even this."

Xuan Yin Divine Monarch said coldly: "He should be one of the inheritance seeds scattered fifty-plus

ten-thousand years ago, during the sect's great tribulation and crisis. In the recent several hundred thousand years, there has been only this single instance of inheritance and Taiqing Divine Iron leaking out—nothing else. The sect's inheritance sanctum is a place even peak experts cannot breach."

"The batch of inheritance seeds from over five hundred thousand years ago?"

"That's impossible, isn't it?"

Xuan Yang Divine Monarch stared in stunned disbelief: "That was when the previous Ancestor and eight near-immortal level experts, in the late stage of the great tribulation, joined hands to unleash supreme great divine abilities, borrowing the vast incomplete immortal formation of the Great Thousand Worlds, to randomly scatter inheritance seeds into the Endless Starry Sky—a distance so remote that even near-immortal level experts cannot reach."

"How could he possibly return?!"

"It is nothing more than a miracle in the universe—spatial turbulence, or a chance coincidence… The probability is extremely small, but it is not necessarily impossible."

"This should have been something worth celebrating."

"A wanderer from afar returning home."

Xuan Yin Divine Monarch spoke in a low voice, his tone murderous: "However, the Sun lineage dared to slaughter the Moon lineage—this absolutely cannot be permitted. He must be executed by the most cruel and resolute means, to eliminate any possibility of such a thing happening again."

……

"This is one of that batch of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong inheritance seeds from over five hundred thousand years ago."

"It should be so."

The Tianwen inheritance of the Immortal Artifact Sect furrowed her brow deeply.

She had heard this Sun-inheritance sword cultivator's words: slaying all Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong sword heirs and Dao heirs, slaughtering all quasi-immortal race prodigies—killing so madly and terrifyingly it was suffocating.

This might not be the ravings of a madman.

"That flying sword…"

The Tianwen inheritance murmured to herself: "That flying sword carries the aura of Tianxu Wanni Mystic Gold—this is the inherited divine metal of the already-destroyed Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Shadow Concealment Divine Palace inheritance. And Brother Xuanwu Divine Gold—this is the inherited divine metal of the already-destroyed Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Heavenly Fall Emperor Court. And Taiqing Divine Iron…"

"Damn it,"

"A fierce desire to fight suddenly rises in my heart—I want to go in and beat him to death."

She clenched both fists and said indignantly.

"Then are you going?"

Shadow Puppet Divine Monarch said: "You carry the sect's foundation; no matter what, you can escape. Even against those of the same level it can be triggered—you will not be in mortal danger."

"I'm not going."

"Observing the combat power of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong inheritance disciples—watching is enough, no need to enter personally…"

……

Within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

After shattering reincarnation ninety-seven times, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun fell silent where he stood, no longer attacking.

He had to admit one fact.

Namely, that this Six Paths of Reincarnation was flawless—at least in his view, flawless—without any flaw that could be used to completely break it.

The Endless

Starry Sky Dominator human race's racial inheritance—this is a terrifying inheritance no inferior to immortal arts!

As long as you are of pure human blood, as long as you have the ability, you can comprehend it!

Whether you are a beggar or a lone, helpless loose cultivator, whether you are base or noble, whether you are a mortal or a cultivation practitioner—as long as you are of pure human blood, you have this qualification.

To comprehend the human race's racial inheritance!

In the Upper Realm, across a timescale of more than two hundred thousand years, among the countless Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie and Minor Thousand Worlds, and throughout the entire Great Thousand World, among the endless human cultivators of the Tianhe, there are seventeen recorded cultivators who have comprehended the racial inheritance.

Among these seventeen, some have already perished utterly, their white bones turned to ash, while others shone with boundless radiance, illuminating the immortal-path history of the Upper Realm.

The strongest among them, whose true name is unknown, bore the title — Lord of the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm!

"Fellow Daoist,"

"You truly are a peerless talent!"

"After you reveal the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the racial inheritance, you will surely shake the Upper Realm; even if you die now, a name and a brief record of your life will be left in the annals of immortal-path history."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun raised his head, gazing at the sky of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and spoke slowly.

The operation of the surrounding Six Paths of Reincarnation did not stop.

Even though he had ceased his attacks, a vast attractive force still emanated from all around, penetrating deep into his bones and soul — unblockable, unshelterable — causing his aura to slowly but inexorably decline, his breath steadily weakening.

This was the terror of the Six Paths of Reincarnation: the moment one stepped in, one began a slow death.

Yet Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun seemed not to care about his own state.

"However, you have made one mistake."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Ding."

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun said calmly.

"Oh?"

"May I ask what mistake that is?"

In the void, hazy and indistinct, a youth in blue robes appeared, asking curiously.

It seemed to be his true body, and yet also seemed not to be.

"You should not have,"

"appeared before this Canghai Tianjun when your foundation had yet to be mended!"

Within Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's thunderous twin pupils bloomed an incomparably terrifying killing intent: "This will be the cause of your death."

"Just like those fifteen other comprehenders of the racial inheritance who have already died in battle — their strength rose too swiftly, causing them to lose their awe of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong and the immortal-like races, and so they perished."

"You, too, shall meet the same fate."

He took out a talisman flickering with thunder, and pressed it onto his sword.

This talisman, named the Upper Clarity Startling Thunder Sword-Nurturing Talisman, was one of the most core secret transmissions of the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm.

Every disciple of the Thunder Yang inheritance began nurturing it from the very first day they began cultivating, ceaselessly pouring in divine sense and magic power,

accumulating it within, growing ever stronger, ever stronger.

Until one day,

a sword cultivator of the Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm encountered the fated opponent of their life.

At that moment, they would tear open this Upper Clarity Startling Thunder Sword-Nurturing Talisman, unleashing the magic power and divine sense they had cultivated over an entire lifetime.

If they could slay their fated powerful enemy and advance further upon the sword path, then they could survive.

If they could not slay their opponent, then they would die!
