Chapter 1369: Escape from Death

When the Mo Facheng at the deepest part of the dark starry sky revealed its traces, all laws were forbidden, and living things perished.

The Qi Sect's Piying Shenjun frantically retreated backwards.

Under the radiance of the Mo Facheng, his skin instantly dissolved into a pool of blood, exposing raw, dripping flesh. The blood-path rules and the Heavenly Dao law-net were utterly useless, collapsing in an instant.

The Thunder Yang Heaven Sword Realm's Shougui Shenjun was even more miserable; under the mere illumination of the light, half his body turned to charcoal, and his life drained away at an accelerated pace.

"Two seniors, it seems you are far inferior to the seniors of my sect…"

Jiang Ding sighed.

The function of the Mo Facheng Yin was not to attack, but to wrap around him, fleeing to the distance in an instant. Its speed was terrifying even among He Dao Shenjun, and it vanished into the Heavenly Dao law-net.

The two Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong He Dao Shenjun could only watch helplessly as that light moved away from them.

"Ant…"

"The ant that murdered my sect's inheritance—you cannot escape!"

Shougui Shenjun was unwilling, his face twisted beyond recognition.

He no longer hesitated, taking out a silver-flickering sword talisman that radiated an incomparably terrifying pressure—even surpassing a sliver of the He Dao tier's extreme terrifying pressure—instantly causing the surrounding Heavenly Dao law-net to congeal unbearably, as boundless, fierce killing intent spread out, piercing through endless star rivers.

This was an aura that even He Dao Shenjun would fear!

"Fellow Daoist Shougui, this is truly…"

Piying Shenjun's scalp went numb.

This was a quasi-eighth-tier offensive sword talisman!

This talisman should have been a life-preserving talisman left for Shougui Shenjun by a powerful expert of the Thunder Yang Heaven Sword Realm.

This Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong was truly far too good, far too tolerant, toward its internal old acquaintances of Thunder Yang—so much so that even a Shenjun whose strength among He Dao was unremarkable could obtain such a life-preserving talisman, making one envious beyond measure.

What was even more shocking was that for such a treasure, such a life-preserving trump card, Shougui Shenjun had actually used it to avenge a Soul Transformation cultivator, not hesitating to risk the backlash of his own Heavenly Dao contract and complete death—this was truly hard to comprehend.

"Go!"

Shougui Shenjun shouted fiercely.

His entire body was covered in cobweb-like bloodstains, his body about to shatter, but he still paid no heed, biting through his tongue tip and spraying essence blood onto the floating sword talisman.

Hum!

This silver-white sword talisman was activated, rippling out ring after ring of silver-white sword-path rule power, spreading like water waves over every place; even Void Refinement cultivators could not observe the limits of the sword-path rule power.

Finally, at one corner tens of thousands of kilometers away, the figure of a blue-clothed youth with a horrified expression was revealed once more.

"Ant!"

"Die!"

Shougui Shenjun's eyes streamed fresh blood as he roared.

This world was instantly filled with silver-white

sword-path radiance, reaching every place in the heavens and on the earth!

Immediately, a terrifying silver-white sword light silently tore through all the Heavenly Dao law-nets, sliced open all rule power, passed through infinite space, and in an instant reached the dark starry-sky city.

Cold death enveloped everything.

"Above He Dao?"

"No, it shouldn't be…"

Jiang Ding within the Mo Facheng Yin was greatly terrified.

He had underestimated the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong's He Dao Shenjun far too much!

Even though he had made every preparation he could, it was still not enough—no one in this world is willing to be fair.

"Warning!"

"Warning!"

"Suspected encounter with a quasi-eighth-tier attack, the Mo Facheng Yin is initiating emergency escape procedure…"

The Mo Facheng Yin flickered ceaselessly, warning the citizen within to make final preparations.

In an instant, the Mo Facheng Yin condensed an escape pod, wrapping Jiang Ding, separating him from itself, and shooting off into the distance.

The Mo Facheng Yin itself, meanwhile, activated its final self-destruct contingency, its aura surging several times over in an instant, and charged toward the silver-white sword light at the horizon.

Within the terrifying aura, everyone seemed to see such a wondrous sight.

A starry-sky city standing tall in the deep void destroyed itself completely, entirely wrapping and swallowing the silver-white flying sword that had come from beyond the heavens; that terrifying aura of destruction and law-annihilation suddenly bloomed, devouring everything.

Boom!

Boom boom!

In this stretch of heaven and earth, all space, all the Heavenly Dao law-nets were utterly destroyed; all spiritual-essence particles lost their spiritual vitality, transforming into mundane-tier objects.

Furthermore, incomparably terrifying law-annihilating poison enveloped an area of several hundred thousand kilometers, instantly turning this Thunder Flame Domain into a dead zone for living beings, impossible to dissipate for ten thousand years.

This terrifying attack made Piying Shenjun's face go pale.

He did not doubt in the slightest that if such power fell upon him, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant, his mortal body utterly shattered, his divine soul heavily wounded, absolutely unable to recover without tens of thousands of years.

Yet after tens of thousands of years, his lifespan would also be nearly at its end!

What difference was there between that and death?

"Impossible!"

"That was a quasi-eighth-tier sword talisman!"

Shougui Shenjun roared.

Along with his roar, at the very center of the countless law-annihilating poisons, a dim, lusterless silver-white flying sword reappeared, its sword body bearing several jet-black spots.

It swayed unsteadily, pierced through space, merged into the Heavenly Dao law-net, and pierced off into the distance to kill.

Once the sword was out, it would not stop until death!

……

"Thunder Yang Heaven Sword Realm!"

"Despicable, shameless, scumbags! Trash! This Sovereign will remember you all!"

In a

teleportation array, a mass of mangled flesh wrapped around a blue-gold flying sword was fleeing madly through a pre-arranged contingency, crossing the Thunder Flame Domain in the blink of an eye and arriving at a strange realm.

This was Jiang Ding.

He was now in an utterly wretched state. Under the aftershock of that silver-white sword light, he had instantly suffered a terrible, fatal wound. His Dharma body had completely exploded into powder, leaving only two fist-sized lumps of blood and flesh barely clinging to life. The Materialist Sun Sword Soul was riddled with holes, utterly feeble.

This was only because the Mo Facheng Yin had released him beforehand.

Had he been together with the Mo Facheng Yin, he would certainly have been reduced to ash by now. The mere ten-thousandth of the power casually leaking from such a terrifying existence could kill him a hundred times over.

Jiang Ding fled madly.

Yet in his heart, a cold premonition still flashed wildly, letting him clearly sense that death was about to arrive, and that no matter what, he could not escape it.

This feeling of being able to do nothing but wait for death was enough to drive one mad!

"That thing!"

"That silver-white sword light must have transcended the limit of Dao Merging!"

Jiang Ding's heart trembled with horror.

The Mo Facheng Yin had sacrificed everything, self-destructing in an explosion, yet still could not blast that silver-white sword light to nothing — it had only barely stalled it for a while, letting him put some distance between them.

Such were the methods of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong!

Once, upon hearing that fifteen human race inheritance comprehenders had died in history, Jiang Ding had felt a bit puzzled. How could such terrifyingly gifted prodigies die before they ever had a chance to shine?

Now, he understood completely, from firsthand experience.

When an overwhelmingly superior enemy comes crushing down, who could fail to die?

Who could?!

"Damn it!"

"Thunder Yang Heaven Sword Realm, the disgrace of today, I've remembered it…"

Jiang Ding murmured.

Under the increasingly urgent sense of crisis in his heart, he once again crossed multiple domains via teleportation array, then flew out of the array, randomly chose an underground spot, and plunged deep into it.

Then, his figure vanished in an instant.

Several million kilometers away from this place, a silver-white sword light pierced through space, tearing apart the Heavenly Dao rule-law net, its killing intent icy cold, pursuing its enemy to the death without rest — even the ends of the earth could not stop it.

Yet, at that very instant, it came to a complete halt, spinning in circles on the spot, having utterly lost its direction.
