Chapter 1424: The Great Sun Sword Child's Bloodthirsty Instinct Has Been Awakened

All the factions of the Ancient God Domain have joined forces once more!

Each of them spread out their own formations, doing what? Further tearing open a breach in the Cangtian Pavilion formation. Wave after wave of formation ripples spread in all directions, triggering the chaos of numerous Heavenly Dao rules.

"Change—"

"The Cangtian Pavilion formation…"

The eyes of the two warring factions in the Nine Spirit Domain swept over, fixing their gaze here at the same moment, a fierce light gleaming in their eyes.

The hearts of the Dao Merging Divine Lords of the Yao Shen Sect, the Myriad Races Alliance, and others trembled.

They could not help but feel boundless regret — they should never have done anything to draw attention while the civil war in the Nine Spirit Domain was at its height.

Many of the Dao Merging Divine Lords of the Myriad Races Alliance and the Yao Shen Sect who held the key formation nodes felt a chill in their hearts.

They instinctively sensed that some terrifying orbital annihilation cannon had locked onto them in that instant. Their divine souls trembled, and they foresaw a cold aura of death, barely able to stop themselves from abandoning everything and fleeing on the spot.

But, contrary to expectation, the gazes of both sides only lingered for an instant before shifting away, continuing to wage an even more brutal slaughter.

……

"The Cangtian Pavilion formation is changing further… it appears to be unsealing for a specific Soul Transformation cultivator, allowing them to advance to the Void Refinement realm… countermeasures in progress…"

"Following the recommendation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Front Army, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun—"

"No countermeasures are required."

The voice of the central formation spirit computer transmitted to Jiang Ding.

At this moment, with the further damage to the Cangtian Pavilion formation, the Immortal Gate's war network had already spread into the interior of the Cangtian Pavilion, restoring communications.

"Not bad."

"After so much tedium, I did not expect such a delightful surprise."

Jiang Ding's spirits lifted.

"They are, after all, beings who style themselves Dao Children and Holy Children. Once they ascend to Void Refinement, surely they should offer this lord a little value, yes? If so, that is truly wonderful."

"Hurry up and come beat me to death, you foolish things…"

He longed for the Dao.

……

Spirit Beast Garden.

Antu Zi, Tianji Candidate Daozi, Ji Liuyue, and others were in hot pursuit of the Ancient God Domain's Candidate Daozi.

They held the absolute upper hand, about to slay or subdue their opponents, and under the arrangements laid down by their Upper Realm Ancestral Masters hundreds of thousands of years ago, they would further mend their own foundations and grow even stronger in the future.

The fastest was Yu Yu Qianzi's battlefield — she had already successfully slain the body and divine soul of the Light Sword Child, and now only a single Taiyou Sword Child remained, fleeing in despair with the Light Sword Child's seed of resurrection, hoping for a miracle.

The inheritance of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm was indeed incomprehensibly wondrous. Their Solar inheritance and Lunar inheritance — as long as one did not simultaneously kill both the Lunar and Solar sword cultivators, the other dual-cultivation sword cultivator was effectively undying. In the future, they could pay a certain price to resurrect, for a backup existed within each Dao companion.

"Are the Lunar and Solar truly

weakness?"

The Taiyou Sword Child burned her flesh and divine soul to flee, weeping blood as she questioned the heavens.

She had once possessed absolute confidence in her own path.

For this was the inheritance of an Upper Realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong — an inheritance on the verge of stepping into the immortal realm, representing the direction of the true Great Dao, absolutely not something to be compared with some wild fox Chan that came from who-knows-where.

Yet, reality struck her again and again.

Losing to the Great Sun Sword Child would have been forgivable — judging by the way the Candidate Daozi of the Nine Spirit Domain feared him like a tiger, the Great Sun Sword Child was inherently beyond the norm, an anomaly that could not be replicated between realms. Losing was losing.

But now, she had lost again at the hands of the Lunar Yu Yu Qianzi!

Once, and again, and yet again — the sword heart of this Lunar-inheritance sword cultivator could not help but fall into confusion, no longer steadfast, knowing only to flee madly under the instinct for survival.

Before her, a wheel of a ghostly moon bloomed, and within it a girl in a white dress appeared before the Taiyou Sword Child.

She drew her sword.

"Taiyou Sister, farewell…"

Yu Yu Qianzi sighed softly.

Between realms, it was already hard to encounter one's own kind.

She felt a deep sense of kinship from this Lunar sword cultivator, as if she were a twin sister in a foreign land, longing to talk through the night and pour out their hearts to each other.

Yet, the moment they met, they faced each other with lethal intent.

This was the fate of sword cultivators.

"Farewell."

"Little Sister Qianqian…"

The Taiyou Sword Child let out a mournful laugh, her body instantly burning itself to ashes, transforming into a final sword strike — a strike of utmost brilliance — slashing toward the cold moonlight ahead, composing this last sword with the wisdom of a lifetime of sword Dao.

Yet for all its brilliance, it still paled beneath that moonlight.

The outcome had long been decided.

Yu Yu Qianzi watched the Taiyou Sword Child before her with sorrow.

The moonlight transformed from the Lunar flying sword grew ever brighter, illuminating the four directions, and the sword intent showed a tendency to grow further.

Boom—!

At that moment, in the sky, a clap of Lei Ting like a bolt from the blue appeared in the heavens.

Endless dark clouds rolled in, spreading in all directions, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the heavy pressure of the Heavenly Dao shrouded everything — the gaze of the Heavenly Dao had arrived here.

"Lei Gao Jie!"

The Taiyou Sword Child was suddenly overjoyed.

Driven by the instinct for survival, she forgot everything. The restless and fragmented magic power and divine sense within her surged in an instant, transitioning toward a higher Void Refinement tier.

For a Candidate Daozi of an Ancient God Domain Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, this posed almost no difficulty, even in a heavily wounded state.

In the span of merely a single breath, her magic power surged by severalfold, even tenfold, instantly transforming into an entirely different state, far surpassing her former self.

"Tai You..."

Tai You Sword Child stood

within Lei Ting, and once again slashed out a sword.

This sword was like the descent of an endless dark night, cleaving straight through the moon-glow that filled the sky, shattering the starlight into pieces that scattered like fireflies.

"Refinement Void!"

Yu Yu Qianzi's expression changed drastically.

She only felt a massive force sweep in, her body struck by the violent power, sent flying backward into the distance, a faint sweetness rising in her throat—in an instant she Suffered Heavy wounds.

Her opponent had, in a flash, ascended to Refinement Void!

The current battle was already a completely unfair battle!

Yu Yu Qianzi attempted to likewise ascend to Refinement Void—this posed no difficulty at all; her foundation completely surpassed the Refinement Void level, it was entirely a matter of course, as natural as water flowing downhill.

However, a vast sealing force from the outside world descended, shackling everything.

"Congratulations to Sister Tai You on ascending to the Refinement Void realm."

Yu Yu Qianzi gave up, her heart feeling a touch of melancholy, a touch of joy.

"This time, I am the one who has lost."

"Sister."

Tai You Sword Child did not pursue. Closing her eyes to sense the surrounding destructive Lei Ting auras, she said shamefully: "But, I want to live—living is rather good, even if I must live in degradation."

"Yes, living."

"This is rather good."

Yu Yu Qianzi softly sighed.

She turned and left, no longer attempting to initiate a Glory Sword Duel.

Only a wisp of voice remained behind.

"Sister Tai You, I have one word—you may listen to it casually."

"Do not go seeking the Great Sun Sword Child now. Flee far away, do not appear within the range of his divine sense. The current you is already enough to activate his Great Sun instinct—the endless greed, the endless bloodthirsty Great Sun instinct—he will no longer be as merciful as last time…"

This wisp of voice, along with her retreating figure, swiftly faded away.

As for how to evade the Great Sun Sword Child, the Dao Children of the Nine Spirit Domain all possessed an instinct carved into their very bones—before the autumn wind stirs, the cicada already knows. In an instant, they sensed something and strove to flee far from this battlefield, escaping toward unknown places.

"Great Sun Sword Child?"

Tai You Sword Child's expression within the thunderclouds shifted between light and shadow.

After ascending to Refinement Void, the suddenly surging power made her confidence surge along with it; an intense killing instinct welled up, past humiliations surfaced in her heart, and her ears were filled with her Master's repeated urgings, demanding that she go immediately after Tribulation Crossing to rendezvous with the many Dao Children and Holy Children of the Ancient God Domain.

With so many Refinement Void prodigies, would they possibly fear a mere Soul Transformation cultivator?

Ridiculous!

However, was the warning from her kin, her sister, the Tai Yin Sword Cultivator Yu Yu Qianzi, a deliberate smokescreen?

Tai You Sword Child's heart gradually settled into a decision.
