Chapter 1419: This Is the Six Paths of Reincarnation

When the heaven-covering, earth-spanning swarm of soul-poison serpents appeared, Jiang Ding plunged into a stretch of darkness.

He saw an ancient, decayed, terrifying existence descend, transforming into a seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; the seed-embryo, trailing fine, dense tentacles, was about to pierce into his soul to complete yet another rebirth after an interval of several hundred thousand years.

"Ancient God Ancestor?"

Jiang Ding murmured, his voice carrying hesitation.

In that instant, he had originally planned to immediately advance to Refining Void, even though his soul and magic power had not yet reached his own limits, and his foundation had not reached the limit of his ability, which would cause more problems in his future cultivation and require costs dozens of times greater than now to make up for.

After Refining Void!

He did not dare claim invincibility beneath Dao Merging; he had a clear awareness of this.

But escaping from a Dao Merging Divine Lord posed no problem whatsoever, and against soul-seizure and the like, he possessed resistance nearly a full major rank beyond his own ability—this was the innate instinct of a Human Race Sword Soul Sword Cultivator.

This unique Human Race profession emphasized sword intent to the extreme, emphasized purity to the extreme; it might not be hard, but the soul was like a crystalline, translucent crystal, and external impurities found it hard to enter.

The difficulty of invading a Sword Soul Sword Cultivator's soul was more than ten times greater than the difficulty of shattering a Sword Soul Sword Cultivator's soul!

This was the confidence of the Great Sun Sword Child.

He believed he would not be defeated within a soul-seizure; even if a remnant soul above Dao Merging personally seized him, it would be the same—he stood innately upon invincible ground.

His plan was to instantly advance to Refining Void.

After all, Soul Transformation was truly too weak; even the sword cultivator essence could not change anything. After instantly advancing to Refining Void, he would already stand upon invincible ground, and the price paid was merely a slightly weaker foundation. In the future, spending several thousand or over ten thousand years, and expending large quantities of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it might not be impossible to make up for it.

However, after gazing directly at this suspected remnant soul of the Ancient God Ancestor, he hesitated, wavered.

Within such wavering, the seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation instantly broke through the outer perimeter of the Materialist Solar Sword Soul and truly plunged deep into Jiang Ding's Sea of Consciousness.

"Hahahaha…"

"Little friend, you are too weak…"

The seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation laughed wildly.

It paid no heed to everything around it, like a streak of flowing light it killed toward the deepest part of the Sea of Consciousness, the origin of a cultivator's soul, reaching the center in an instant.

All of this had been done with extreme familiarity in the past; now it was merely repeated once again.

A mere junior at Soul Transformation, no matter how astonishingly brilliant, what kind of resistance could he possibly have under the Six Paths Reincarnation Art?

Whoosh!

The seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation instantly pierced through the essence of the Sword Soul, swallowing in one gulp this wisp of essence representing the origin of a living being's soul, chewing in big bites, rapidly digesting every essence of this being, in order to transform into another version of itself, and by parasitizing him within a great power

to grow without cease.

Bang!

At this moment, this wisp of soul essence abruptly collapsed.

The seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's big chewing bite landed upon its own tentacles, bloodied and mangled.

"Illusory…"

The seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation gave a start.

Rumble~

At this moment, between heaven and earth, boundless radiance shone forth, illuminating the sky and the earth, as if the sun since primordial antiquity had been born for the first time between heaven and earth; light filled the universe between heaven and earth, bringing radiance to the endless starry sky, dispelling countless demons and monsters, eternal through the ages.

Beneath such radiance, the seed of the Six Paths of Reincarnation stiffened.

Then, around the Eternal Sun, one after another order-runes emerged—Destruction, Law-Breaking, Law-Prohibition, Origin Magnet, Aberration, Sword Dao. These were the characteristics of the sun, parts of the sun; though seemingly mixed and complex, they were merely constituent parts like a person's arms, eyes, or chest, unified as one on a higher level.

The instant the Six Paths Order descended, strands of order-lines interwove, weaving around the sun, forming six hazy, indistinct worlds descending to suppress all between heaven and earth.

Six Paths of Reincarnation!

The very same Six Paths of Reincarnation!

The difference was that this Six Paths of Reincarnation possessed none of the bizarre soul-rebirth disguise—magnificent and grand, open and aboveboard, it was simply the Six Paths World pressing down, casting all living beings into reincarnation, grinding away everything.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

"You obtained the true inheritance of the Ancient God Dao?!!"

The remnant soul's expression changed wildly.

A kind of world completely beyond expectation was born before him.

"Senior, you are too weak…"

"No, that's not right…"

"You are not quite right; your strength is very strong, yet also very weak… your comprehension of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is extremely rigid…"

Within the sun, the figure of a youth in blue robes emerged, murmuring: "This should not be, it really should not be!"

"Within the endless starry sky, a person who comprehends the racial inheritance of the Human Race should not be like this; even if merely a wisp of remnant soul, it should not be so rigid, as if a child merely copying from a textbook…"

"You… are not the Ancient God Ancestor."

Jiang Ding knew the answer in his heart, and said with immense disappointment.

In this world, a worthy opponent was hard to find.

And the remnant soul of the Ancient God Ancestor would have been an extremely good opponent—one who had likewise comprehended the racial inheritance of the hegemonic race of the endless starry sky. Although its rank far exceeded Soul Transformation, it was merely a wisp of remnant soul, and had been weakened for several hundred thousand years.

After Jiang Ding advanced to Refining Void, the two would be roughly fair, each with their own advantages.

Jiang Ding had originally thought he would welcome a splendid life-and-death struggle—one that to onlookers carried endless risk, but in his own view was certain victory.

He would surely win, surely make his foundation

further consolidated, surpassing even the time he faced the Light-Thunder inheritance.

Yet the facts that occurred in this world always made one weep.

The remnant soul before him possessed a wisp of a Celestial Being's essence, but it was too mixed and complex; more critically, it employed the Six Paths of Reincarnation inheritance, a Six Paths of Reincarnation inheritance of another developmental direction, yet it was so rigid.

Although its strength was not weak, there were simply too many openings!

Like a burly man whose entire body was openings and weak points—though he wielded a sharp blade and was powerfully built, before a true swordsman he was simply seeking his own death.

Such an existence was not an opponent.

Clang!

Jiang Ding drew his sword and brought it down in a single killing slash.

Behind him, the six-path Dun De Shi Gao Jie thundered into motion; countless order-runes interwove, countless forces gathered, all of them converging upon this one sword. The world blazed suddenly bright—light drove back the darkness, illuminating every heaven and every earth.

"Ridiculous!"

"A mere junior disciple who stole a legacy, nothing more!"

The remnant soul flared with rage.

He transformed into a lotus seed; rune after rune of the six-path rules bloomed outward, forming layer upon layer of halos that spread through heaven and earth, stacked one upon another. The Ancient God Dao's Six-Path Reincarnation Secret Art was wielded by him to its very utmost—even were another Heavenly Being remnant soul standing here, it too would sink into oblivion in an instant.

That lotus seed appeared beneath the sword of light.

The two locked against each other for a breath.

Crack!

The pitch-black halos shattered, torn apart layer by layer; then the bright sword-edge hacked into the lotus seed, smashing through tier upon tier of indestructible lotus walls, forcing a battered lotus seed to spit blood and reel back, its ghostly-blue divine-soul essence spilling out in all directions.

This sword was like a butcher cutting an ox with ease—every secret art the ghostly-blue lotus seed deployed crumbled and tore apart before her, without a single secret left to hide. Even though the essence of its power was more than ten times greater, still it could not resist in the slightest.

It was as if… a legacy disciple had come face to face with the very founding patriarch of his own lineage!
