Chapter 1391: Great Sun Sword Child's Narrow Defeat
In the sky, the Great Sun Sword Child and the Taiyou Sword Child and Guangming Sword Child of the Youming Sword Cave Heaven were locked in a frenzied slaughter, sword after sword, shattering space, tearing the earth, breaking the rules, sword Dao will seething, making hearts tremble.
Especially that blue-robed youth, fighting two great Sword Children alone, left the Dao Children of many Immortal Sects dumbfounded.
"A Sun-tributary sword cultivator of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm shouldn't be like this…"
Qinggu Dao Child murmured to herself.
The inheritances brought from the Upper Realm homeland did not match reality, giving her an intense sense of awkwardness and tearing within.
"The Dongji Demon Gate is the strongest sect of the Nine Spirit Alliance — these words seem to be no lie."
"Everyone, pay attention—"
The Dao Child of Tian Shen Palace looked toward the three battling sword cultivators in the sky: "According to our intelligence, what the Dongji Demon Gate is strongest at is the way of military formations; in individual strength they are at a great disadvantage."
"And yet with such disadvantaged individual strength, their Dao Child is able to fight the two Sword Children of the Youming Sword Cave Heaven to a standstill, not falling behind."
"They cannot be looked down upon."
"This sect, even in such a barren environment, may still possess strength approaching that of our sects…"
He said coldly.
To the Jiudaxian Sect of the Ancient God Dao, the Nine Spirit Alliance of the Nine Spirit Domain was a great Dao opportunity of the same origin; many Jiudaxian Sect cultivators were greedy for it, yearning for it, and the strongest Dongji Demon Gate was a tremendous threat and obstacle to them.
"If not for the Myriad Races Alliance and the Yao God Sect watching like tigers from the side…"
The Dao Child of the Lightless Heaven Gate, her entire figure hidden within sunlight, whispered coldly.
In fact, at this very moment, other Void Refinement cultivators of the Immortal Gate were receiving envoys from the Myriad Races Alliance and the Yao God Sect; the two sides were discussing many secret matters, and in scale this was no less than the Jiudaxian Sect of the Ancient God Domain — everything was open and aboveboard, not a state of isolating oneself by only establishing ties with sects like Tian Shen Palace.
In the eyes of many Ancient God Domain Immortal Sects like Tian Shen Palace, the Jiudaxian Sect of the Nine Spirit Domain was using such means to warn and threaten them.
Using such a method to clearly declare that even though they came from barren lands and were weak in strength, they still possessed sufficient power, and if they allied with the Myriad Races Alliance and the Yao God Sect, they might well be able to annihilate the Jiudaxian Sect of the Ancient God Domain.
This implicit warning indeed made sects like Tian Shen Sect deeply wary, not daring to act rashly.
Otherwise, at the very moment the same-origin seed appeared, many Immortal Sects would likely have been unable to restrain themselves — for them this was a tremendous opportunity, one that could raise their hope of advancing beyond Dao Merging by a few degrees.
"The Myriad Races Alliance and the Yao God Sect are too troublesome to deal with."
"They possess inheritances beyond Dao Merging; although those inheritances are still weaker than ours, they are already of the same tier, and they have inherited part of the sect foundations of the Ancient God Dao of the past — hard to annihilate, we must find a way to plunge them into"
"chaos, so they can no longer interfere with our retrieval of the seeds of the homeland."
"Perhaps that Cangtian Pavilion of the Ancient God Dao, fallen into the Void Spirit Abyss, is an opportunity…"
The Dao Child of Tianyun Immortal Sect said coldly.
"That Cangtian Pavilion that escaped during the great upheaval of the Ancient God Dao?"
"Doesn't it only accept direct-line disciples of the Ancient God Dao? The Yao God Sect and the Myriad Races Alliance are nothing more than outer disciples and servant Dao soldiers of the past Ancient God Dao — they seized many of the Ancient God Dao's foundations during the great chaos, and cannot possibly be recognized by Cangtian Pavilion; they've tried for hundreds of thousands of years with little progress."
The Tian Shen Dao Child said doubtfully.
"What if we help them?"
The Dao Child of Tianyun Immortal Sect said lightly.
"Help?"
The Tian Shen Dao Child, Qinggu Dao Child, and the others fell into thought.
……
While they were discussing these matters, the battle of the three sword cultivators in the sky finally showed a change after several thousand exchanges.
"Yin-Yang · Youming Slash!"
Taiyou Sword Child and Guangming Sword Child roared.
They struck out with one sword together; one side of the starry universe turned black, the other blazing with light, forming a Taiji Sword Diagram — the supreme Yin-Yang Great Dao materialized in this moment, pressing down upon the world, enveloping everything, drawing that blue-robed youth and a great sun into itself, ceaselessly wearing them down, ceaselessly tearing at the great sun's radiance.
That blue-robed youth and the great sun embodied the ultimate intent of destruction and slaughter, overwhelmingly domineering, their momentum surpassing both Taiyin and Taiyang by a wide margin—yet they could not escape beneath this Taiji Sword Diagram; no matter how fiercely they struggled, their own light and scorching heat were gradually worn down and obliterated by the Yin-Yang radiance.
Anyone with eyes could see that his defeat was not far off.
"What a pity."
"This Dao Friend Jiang Ding Zi's swordsmanship and sword intent both far exceed either Taiyou or Guangming individually, but against their joint attack he falls short; his sword techniques likewise lack the old, vicious edge of the Yin-Yang sword techniques honed for tens of millions of years in the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm."
The Tian Shen Dao Child sighed.
This was only natural — orthodox Upper Realm inheritances were naturally far stronger than a heterodox Sun-tributary sword cultivator.
The moment his words fell, a blue-robed youth vomited blood and retreated backward, breaking through the Taiji Sword Diagram at the cost of burning his essence blood, fleeing far from the battlefield.
The blue-robed youth's face was deathly pale, his aura weak.
"Ridiculous!"
"With such strength, you still dare say Taiyin is useless trash…"
Killing intent flashed in Taiyou Sword Child's eyes; she was unwilling to let it end here and wanted to pursue further.
At this moment, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, who had been quietly watching everything, stepped forward.
The instant she stepped forward, the illusory shadows of countless warships, warplanes, and sky battleships rapidly appeared, spreading across tens of thousands of kilometers of starry sky, and the illusory shadows instantly
became solid — a massive steel warship army appeared between heaven and earth, radiating an extremely heavy military-formation pressure.
This massive formation was already at the Dao Child level of strength.
However, when this formation spread to that blue-robed youth, its might instantly surged, expanding further, drawing in dozens of Immortal Gate Soul Transformation cultivators and hundreds of Immortal Gate Nascent Soul cultivators into the formation; the formation instantly gained many mid- and high-ranking officers, its aura rising once more, its pressure dominating all directions.
"You—!"
Taiyou Sword Child and Guangming Sword Child's footsteps faltered, revealing vexed expressions.
The two no longer dared to pursue.
In that instant, she felt a faint crisis of death.
These Dongji Demon Gate cultivators, looked at individually, were nothing special — but once they gathered in numbers, their threat skyrocketed, shocking all who saw.
"Jiang Ding Zi,"
"Is this your Pure Yang Sword Dao?"
Taiyou Dayan Jianzi sneered coldly: "Having departed from the Taiyin-Taiyang Sword Dao, all you have left is this—using crooked, heretical tricks to make up for your strength. Don't you know this is the path of seeking quick success and instant benefit, a foolish act? In the future you will surely suffer backlash, and never again have any hope of rising above the Dao Merging realm."
"Utterly laughable."
"Taiyou, how can sparrows and swallows know the ambition of the swan and the roc?"
"This Sovereign's sword sheath—how could it ever be understood by the likes of your feeble Yin-Yang Sword Dao?"
Jiang Ding stood at the center of the many immortal-gate citizen cultivators, and a feeling of reassurance welled up in his heart, a feeling just like home—unlike fighting and struggling alone in the Upper Realm.
