Chapter 1426: What Delicious Fear

Daybreak, blazing bright!

Billions of rays of light, like swords, like meteors, carrying the utmost sharpness and scorching heat, fell upon the Chaotic World domains of the twenty-seven Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain; every wisp of light that landed carved out a deep pit, melting away the rules of the Ancient God Domain's many Dao Sons—Life Rule, Fate Rule, Earth Dao Rule, Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Rule…

All manner of rule-forces dissolved like ice and snow beneath the order of the solar radiance.

"This is the power of Order!"

"What Order is this?!!"

This scene struck terror into the hearts of the many Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain.

It's merely Order,

Order wielded by a Soul Transformation cultivator!

They had never imagined that Order could reach such a terrifying level—utterly unheard of, completely without reason.

Order was clearly a weakened rule created by the sages; how could it possibly attain such a degree?

The Chaotic Rule World formed by the convergence of the twenty-seven Dao Sons' rule-worlds of the Ancient God Domain was melting, collapsing!

Though it was clearly such a vast force, even reaching in quantity the level of a Dao Merging Divine Monarch, it was pierced one by one by the light, shattered into pieces, and the Chaotic World was filled with radiance.

Threads of dread, an icy premonition, rose in the hearts of the Heavenly God Dao Son, the Weaving Heavenly Spider Holy Son, and others.

Are we all going to die here?

Their sect ancestors couldn't even look after themselves, utterly unable to save them!

What's more, the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect of the Nine Spirit Domain had far more chances to save its Dao Sons than the various forces of the Ancient God Domain; the many ancestors deeply engrossed in the inheritance of the Ancient God Dao might not even be willing to expend their greatest effort, to give up seizing the Ancient God Dao inheritance, in order to save a mere Void Refinement cultivator of theirs.

Lose, and it's death!

No one would save them; the sect power they had relied on in the past, the noble sacred clans they had treated as their background—at this moment, none of it could keep them alive for even a single extra second.

"Kill him!"

A thread of blood appeared in the many compound eyes of the Weaving Heavenly Spider Holy Son as he growled low.

The surrounding Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain responded instantly, and the reaction speed of the All-Heaven Hunyuan Hell True Formation multiplied several times over.

The entire Chaotic Hell Grand Formation instantly changed; countless rules merged within the formation, forming a Chaotic, heavy rule, a ponderous force that smoothed out the surrounding starry sky, even smoothed out the solar radiance in the sky—even the sun's light was distorted beneath the power of Chaos, no longer able to shine directly upon the Chaotic World.

Clearly, before this, these Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain had all been guarding against one another; of every ten parts of strength, at least six were used to defend against each other.

They were hereditary enemies to one another, of different races; empty words, none of them could possibly trust the other.

Any cultivator truly so naive would have long since perished in the brutal struggles within and without their sects, unable to live until now, and would absolutely never entrust their back to another for any reason.

—

But now, they unleashed more than eighty percent of their strength, and the power used to guard against one another dropped sharply.

At once, the situation changed.

Hum!

A Chaotic Rule World appeared between heaven and earth; it evolved at tremendous speed—from a stretch of dim, gray Chaos, it began to give rise to sky, earth, living beings, plants and trees; everything a world should have appeared within this vast Rule World.

Within the world, Life Rule, Fate Rule, Metal Dao Rule, and all other rules each performed their own duties, becoming part of the world's Heavenly Dao rules.

Each was rapidly growing stronger, aura surging!

The brilliant solar radiance in the sky shone down upon this vast Rule World, just like the sun shining upon a world in reality; the crystal wall at the world's periphery filtered out all harmful substances—every kind of sword-intent of destruction and law-annihilation—leaving only pure solar radiance to shine into the Chaotic World, no longer able to inflict any harm upon any rule within the Chaotic World.

Immunity!

In an instant, the twenty-seven Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain had achieved immunity against the area-of-effect domain attack of the Great Sun Sword Son!

Jiang Ding stood within the brilliant solar phenomenon; seeing this, he restrained his smile, utterly solemn.

His opponent's strength was far greater than his own!

Void Refinement-stage Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain were no weaklings; in pure strength, they already possessed about half of his, or even more—though they still had many flaws, they were no longer ants.

And now, the number of these Void Refinement Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain was twenty-seven!

In sheer quantity of strength alone, the power of these Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain was at least twenty times his, forming an almost crushing situation.

They had only been forced by the crisis of life and death to unleash their full power, and already they could achieve immunity against his area attack.

This was the first time in a battle against non-super-class enemies that he had seen an opponent completely immune to his attack—not defense, not evasion—just standing there, completely immune.

"Great Sun Sword Son, nothing more than this!"

"His strength is too weak; no tricks needed—suppress him with the force of Taishan…"

The Weaving Heavenly Spider Holy Son and the Heavenly Fate Dao Son, most adept in the Dao of Heavenly Secrets and Divination, keenly judged the situation and said with murderous intent.

Boom!

Killing intent, icy and chilling, froze the starry sky for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Twenty-seven rules merged; the twenty-seven Dao Sons of the Ancient God Domain, aided by the All-Heaven Hunyuan Hell True Formation, jointly launched a single strike—countless rule-forces inhaled and exhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the starlight of the cosmos; countless heavenly phenomena gathered, forming a Chaotic, ponderous All-Heaven Star Chart within the universe.

This strike, the Twenty-Seven Chaotic Star Chart, was terrifying beyond compare; twenty-seven rule-stars shone brilliantly, linking into the Eastern Azure Dragon constellation, the Southern Zhu Que constellation, the Western Bai Hu constellation, the Northern Brother Xuanwu constellation—

—and in an instant, they filled every corner of the starry sky, every place; the entire cosmic starry sky was packed full of ponderous killing intent.

The All-Heaven constellations rotated, moving in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth, forming a pillar of Chaotic stars, imbued with the terrifying killing intent of ancient constellation deities, pressing down to suppress the lone, blue-clad youth.

"What a fine sword strike that is…"

Jiang Ding raised his head.

He looked at the rule-stars filling the cosmos, and at the cold will of the ancient constellations drawn in by the formation.

"Fellow Daoists, dragons among men, far better than those curs of the Nine Spirit Domain—you truly have given me too many pleasant surprises, too much encouragement."

"No, no—'pleasant surprise' is just a stubborn duck with a hard mouth talking."

"In truth, it's fear—a delicious fear I haven't tasted in ages; I really must thank you all so very much…"

His long-dormant hot blood boiled once more.

In that instant, his divine soul trembled.

He felt clearly what a terrifying, what a powerful force this was.

If he dared to meet it head-on with a single sword strike, cleaving forward without any flourish, his sword soul and dharma body would be reduced to powder in an instant; even the power of heaven and earth channeled through a Sixth Realm Sword Spirit Realm sword technique would be unable to withstand such an attack, and he would die body and soul on the spot, with no possibility of survival.
