Chapter 1425: Fellow Daoists, the Glory of Inscribing Your Name Upon the Endless Starry Heavens Is Bestowed Upon You

Within the Hidden Heaven Pavilion, dark clouds gathered densely, and thunder rumbled without cease.

The renowned prodigies of the Ancient God Domain — Spider Heaven Saint Son, Eight-Arm Dao Son, Heavenly God Dao Son, Green Valley Dao Son, and others — were all undergoing their Tribulation Crossing.

Their life levels were leaping forward, advancing to a higher tier, reaching the Void Refinement realm, where order transformed into true rules, and their strength would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Yet their original opponents — Heavenly Mechanism Dao Son, An Earth Son, and other Dao Sons of the Nine Spirit Domain — had fled the instant the Lei Gao Jie struck, vanishing without a trace; even Heavenly God Dao Son and the others, who were currently advancing into Void Refinement, could not find any shadow of them.

These Nine Spirit Domain Dao Sons were not only powerful in strength, but equally skilled in escape and concealment.

The thunder rumbled on, then quieted down not long after.

For these domain prodigies of the Ancient God Domain — peerless geniuses beyond the imagination of ordinary people — crossing the Void Refinement Lei Gao Jie was as simple as breathing; there was no difficulty whatsoever.

"Brother Brother Xuanwu…"

Within the dispersing dark clouds, Heavenly God Dao Son's oppressive aura had grown several times stronger — nearly tenfold — his strength undergoing an earth-shaking transformation.

His gaze carried a violent killing intent; the first thing he thought of was Brother Brother Xuanwu, that Dao Son of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace who had crushed him with irresistible force, nearly slaying and devouring him.

Body cultivators, like law cultivators, do not value the process.

He now desperately wished to find Brother Brother Xuanwu, beat him to death, complete the devouring, and let his foundation undergo a further metamorphosis — far surpassing his past self, even surpassing Brother Brother Xuanwu, possessing that kind of terrifying power.

Luck, too, is part of strength.

He did not mind winning through luck.

However, Heavenly God Dao Son searched the surroundings for a full circle, yet found absolutely nothing.

That seemingly simple, honest, defense-only burly man had long since vanished — perhaps transformed into a mouse, a mosquito, a small pebble — his concealment utterly practiced, no one knew where he had gone.

"Ant!"

"Come out!"

Heavenly God Dao Son roared.

The Heavenly God Spear in his hand swept out, erupting with streaks of Jin Chong Guang, shattering thousands of kilometers of earth, splitting open lava, toppling Shanfeng, evaporating rivers — like the end of the world.

Within it, no trace of Brother Brother Xuanwu appeared.

Heavenly God Dao Son was unwilling to give up the chance for his foundation to leap forward once more, and continued searching.

"Go!"

"Immediately! Go rendezvous with Spider Heaven Saint Son, Eight-Arm Dao Son, and the others, then slay the Great Sun Sword Son!"

Beside Heavenly God Dao Son's ear came a cold, harsh rebuke: "If you cannot kill him, you die! No matter what realm you have advanced to, you will die right now!"

This voice came from the Heavenly God Divine Lord!

Within the Mo Sect, between master and disciple, there is no such thing as familial affection; it is not overly strange for a sect's ancestor to personally slay a direct disciple,

or to swallow a direct disciple whole in a single gulp.

The only thing that can place any restraint upon a Mo Sect ancestor is the sect in which he has lived his whole life, the sect to which he has devoted his life's feelings, and the inheritance of successive patriarchs — not wishing to see the sect perish, and thus needing an heir. This is the reason for Heavenly God Dao Son's existence.

And now, the Heavenly God Divine Lord perhaps no longer needed such a thing.

"I obey,"

"Master's command!"

Heavenly God Dao Son shivered, and bowed deeply in salute.

He did not dare delay even a single breath, immediately erupting with full speed, flying toward the gathering point where many Dao Sons and Saint Sons were converging — his escape light blazing and magnificent, bearing ten thousand omens, as if a deity had descended upon the mortal world, his speed far surpassing that of ordinary Void Refinement cultivators.

……

North of the Hidden Heaven Pavilion.

A dark forest, with white silk threads spread everywhere — a place called the Weaving Spider Heaven Garden.

One after another, Ancient God Domain Saint Sons, Holy Maidens, and Dao Sons with powerful auras flew in from afar, landing here, waiting slowly. These domain prodigies, already grown to the Void Refinement realm, carried deep and heavy oppressive auras; they could already display a hint of a domain overlord's majesty, able to suppress all existences beneath a Combined Dao Divine Lord.

In an era when Combined Dao Divine Lords cultivated in long-term seclusion, never emerging, any one of them could dominate a domain's starry sky alone, directing the fate of all living beings in a world, becoming the master of history.

Hundreds of millions of cultivators bowed before them, not daring the slightest defiance.

The Jiudaxian Sect's Heavenly God Dao Son and others of the Ancient God Domain appeared together, followed by the Ten Thousand Races Alliance's Spider Heaven Dao Son and seven other Saint Sons and Holy Maidens, and finally the twelve Dao Sons of the Yao God Sect — the strongest being Eight-Arm Dao Son, ranked first in sequence.

This man, at the moment of his birth, displayed strange omens; he was called the reincarnation of Asura, born with eight arms, perfectly suited to the Hell Dao Gong Fa inherited from the Ancient God Dao. Cultivating to this day, he had crushed every opponent along the way, never once suffering defeat.

Even when facing the Dao Sons of the Jiudaxian Sect of the Ancient God Domain, he had never lost.

And now, Eight-Arm Dao Son had advanced to Void Refinement, his strength rising yet another level; behind him, Vajra eight-armed forms layered upon each other, afterimages flickering into and out of existence, as if an ancient Buddha had been reborn, making one's heart tremble with awe.

In just a few breaths, the Dao Sons of the three great powers of the Ancient God Domain had gathered, without the slightest delay — one could well imagine how urgently their sect ancestors were pressing them.

"Where are Taiyou Sword Son and Bright Light Sword Son?"

Eight-Arm Dao Son swept his gaze across and asked coldly.

Neither of the two Sword Sons of the Dark-Bright Sword Cave Heaven had arrived.

"Taiyou says her Sun Sword Cultivator is currently being reborn; she cannot bring out her full strength — not even a third of it. Once she resurrects her Sun Sword Cultivator, she will come at once."

Heavenly God Dao Son said, with a hint of killing intent.

Clearly, regarding Taiyou Sword Son's defiance of orders, he was extremely furious in his heart, and unwilling to tolerate

anything.

"Enough,"

"We already have twenty-seven Dao Sons here, twenty-seven Void Refinement prodigies — we don't lack her one person."

Weaving Spider Heaven Saint Son's killing intent was icy cold: "The two seniors, Taiyou Sword Lord and others, have already sent word — Taiyou Sword Son has been expelled from the Dark-Bright Sword Cave Heaven, and we are to seize the chance to slay this woman. Say no more."

"This is the formation diagram bestowed upon us by the seniors; everyone may practice it a time or two."

He spat out a spider web dripping with mucus, upon which formation runes flickered into and out of existence, wondrous beyond compare — it was called the All-Heavens Primordial Hell True Formation, originating from the Ancient God Dao's secret transmission and the joint deduction of the Jiudaxian Sect of the Ancient God Domain.

This was related to a certain plan of the Ancient God Domain.

The three great powers had, in the past, vaguely detected that within the Ancient God Dao's former mountain gate — within those three Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie wrapped in black fog — unknown beings might exist, and thus grew worried. They had once jointly explored it, but later, due to the difficulty being too great, and with Layered Contradictions within, this plan was suspended.

However, the joint-attack formation at the Void Refinement tier was still relatively complete — not as crude as the joint formations at the Combined Dao tier.

The All-Heavens Primordial Hell True Formation was the result of this very plan.

This formation diagram, bestowed down by numerous Dao-Combining Divine Monarchs, moreover contained their initiation-like comprehension of formations, able to spur growth and let these Dao Sons quickly grasp the essence of the formation diagram, even if it hindered their future Dao path, they no longer cared.

"All-Heavens Primordial Hell True Formation…"

The Heavenly God Dao Son, Eight-Arm Dao Son, and others extended their divine sense into the spider web.

This spider web formation diagram rapidly enlarged, spreading in all directions, covering an area of over a hundred thousand kilometers, twenty-seven rule domain worlds rose up, and were transformed by this formation diagram, forming a powerful and terrifying chaotic world that spread in all directions, suppressing all directions, smoothing over the rules of heaven and earth.

The power of twenty-seven Dao Sons!

The Heavenly God Dao Son and others could not help but hold their breath, carefully experiencing the heaven-destroying, earth-shattering power held in their own hands, and once again gave rise to boundless confidence in their hearts.

"I'm afraid, we can now even defeat the weaker Dao-Combining…"

The Eight-Arm Dao Son said somewhat shaken.

The surrounding Dao Sons were similarly affected, somewhat lost beneath such power, though they quickly recovered their inner calm, doing their utmost to control this terrifying power, not letting this power backlash against themselves.

They kept adjusting, kept adjusting, kept drilling the formation, digesting and absorbing the initiation comprehensions within the formation.

At a certain moment, they finally completely mastered the formation, without any trace of unsteadiness.

"Hahaha!"

"Now, the only problem is finding that so-called Great Sun Sword Son…"

The Weaving Heaven Spider Saint Son was supremely confident, wildly laughing aloud.

The Weaving Heaven Spider clan was originally adept at channeling and commanding the power of various clans; now, controlling so many Dao Sons' power

made his heart surge, somewhat intoxicated, with a great feeling of being invincible under heaven.

However, his problem was actually not a problem.

It was no coincidence!

Boom!

At the very instant the numerous Dao Sons fully mastered the All-Heavens Primordial Hell True Formation, in the distant horizon, within a stretch of void that was a blank to both the naked eye and the Dao Sons' divine sense scanning, a world of destruction, scorching heat, and resplendent sword Dao bloomed with light, a terrifying sword Dao might shrouding heaven and earth.

The numerous Dao Sons' breathing instantly hitched, some panic rising in their hearts.

They looked toward the center of that resplendent sun-like sword Dao world.

There, a youth in blue revealed his figure, his gaze carrying scorching crimson light, endless greed, endless longing, his manic desire showing he had waited for a long time.

"Fellow Daoists,"

"Our first meeting, I would like to correct one problem for you."

Jiang Ding took a deep breath, carefully feeling the current battlefield, and said somewhat intoxicated: "Your current power has not reached the Dao-Combining tier; of course, my power is the same as well. Perhaps only immortal-grade order can reach Dao-Combining at the Soul Transformation stage, truly invincible in Void Refinement."

"As for me, I still fall short by far too much."

"You lot, the quantity of magic power has indeed arrived, but in terms of the quality of power, you have not yet reached it, so please do not treat this battle as a Dao-Combining tier battle."

"We are not qualified to receive such glory."

"Of course, you are the fortunate ones."

The scorching killing intent in Jiang Ding's pupils nearly pierced through ten thousand li of space: "You have received the chance of a fair battle against me; this is supreme glory. In the boundless starry sky of the future, you will no longer be nameless."

"Because you will gloriously die beneath my sword."

Clang!

Supreme Clarity Flying Sword, emerge!

In that instant, billions of rays of light, billions of sword qi spread like the sun's rays, illuminating the entire heaven and earth, illuminating the entire Hidden Heaven Pavilion, dispelling all the deathly stillness and darkness.

The world was a sheet of light; countless rays pierced through the void, pierced through rules, instantly penetrating endless space, descending upon the great formation of the twenty-seven Ancient God Dao Sons.

The sun shone upon the myriad beings of the Ancient God Domain!
