Chapter 1476: The River of Forgetfulness in the Six Realms of Reincarnation
The power of the departed, the River of Forgetfulness.
Under the full concentration of the will of life and death, this blade sweeped across the heavens and earth, dense with killing intent, covering everything—the final echo of all immortal Dao wisdom possessed by the two heroes standing at the peak of the realm, the outstanding men, the strong ones who had stood upon the long river of time for nearly one hundred thousand years.
At this moment, Jiang Ding's body hair stood on end, his divine soul trembling.
At this moment, within his sword Dao, he gained deeper realization regarding the Six Realms of Reincarnation and the life and death of all beings in the world; the enemy, at the cost of their own lives, clearly revealed the mystery of life and death before him, which he saw, which he witnessed.
So beautiful, so wonderful.
"Within my reincarnation,"
"there should exist an interval, like a river washing away the impurities of foreign beings..."
A sense of satisfaction arose in Jiang Ding's heart.
Clang!
In the void, the sound of sword cries surged like tides and seas.
Beneath this sword sound, the black-yellow forbidden technique sword's light suddenly grew deep, suddenly thick as fog, rippling like water waves across heaven and earth, then contracting toward the center, forming a ring of black-yellow River of Forgetfulness jade belt, encircling Jiang Ding.
The blade light of the River of Forgetfulness, carrying the will of the departed, flowed through here.
The spiritual substances within it dropped sharply; the intense killing intent and resentment of the departed beings within it weakened rapidly; the azure soul Dao rule net and blood Dao rule net faded swiftly, becoming old and dim.
The spiritual substances, passing through here, weakened rapidly.
Affected by these fundamental layers, this blade light of the departed River of Forgetfulness also dimmed greatly, no longer sweeping across the heavens and earth, covering the world; one could now see a blade-shaped river thousands of kilometers long.
It was not that the projection power of the River of Forgetfulness weakened; no being below the Immortal level could achieve such a thing.
Rather, the power supporting the River of Forgetfulness to come here, to guide its arrival here, had weakened, thereby reducing the extent to which the River of Forgetfulness projection could arrive here.
"Truly brilliant immortal Dao wisdom..."
Jiang Ding could not stop praising.
Clang!
He drew his sword!
Six worlds manifested before him; each world magnified before him like a ring; within them, countless electromagnetic accelerator array patterns buzzed; each accelerator was constructed using an entire world, containing the peak achievements of the Immortal Gates in the realm of immortal Dao electromagnetic cannon arrays.
Jiang Ding slashed with one sword; the Taqing Flying Sword radiated hundreds of millions of rays of light, then contracted into a twisted thread, becoming the primordial essence of Metal for heaven and earth.
The Sword that Extinguishes Metal!
This sword entered the acceleration of the Six Realms of Reincarnation, cycling back and forth, repeating three times, its speed reaching the absolute peak; then, passing through that black-yellow jade belt River of Forgetfulness, the sword became stained with the flowing light of forbidden techniques that destroy laws, its speed surging upward by another large margin, even faster than the divine sense perception capability of a Dao-Union Divine Lord.
If viewed from a microscopic perspective, one could see something appearing like a miracle of creation.
The layer of black-yellow flowing light on the Flying Sword contained the power to break and destroy laws; wherever the sword went, all spiritual substances, rules, and Heavenly Dao nets vanished silently and without a trace, resistance being nearly non-existent.
This layer of black-yellow flowing light film caused the Taqing Flying Sword to lose almost all friction within the immortal Dao environment!
This was the reason the Taqing Flying Sword climbed upward by another large margin at its ultimate speed.
The Sword that Extinguishes Metal!
The Sword that Extinguishes Earth!
These two forms of immortal technique prototypes fused for the first time, appearing simultaneously for the first time, causing the completeness of the immortal technique prototypes to surge upward by a large margin, moving a big step closer to a true immortal technique capable of suppressing the void, thus producing earth-shaking changes.
The Taqing Flying Sword, whose speed surpassed the divine sense locking limit of a Dao-Union Divine Lord!
With such terrifying speed, the Flying Sword instantly pierced through the River of Forgetfulness, thousands of kilometers in size, flashed and vanished, disappeared from sight, then returned once more to the sword master's hand.
In that extremely tiny instant, she slashed a total of three thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven times, destroying the three thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven nodes that supported the River of Forgetfulness, allowing its projection to descend into the human world; in an instant, she slashed and extinguished all supporting nodes.
In the starry void of the universe, the River of Forgetfulness, flowing freely, stiffened slightly.
It stopped right there.
"Truly a mythic miracle of heaven and earth..."
Jiang Ding whispered.
Boom!
The River of Forgetfulness collapsed right there; countless river waters shattered into countless spiritual lights, dissipating into the starry void of the universe.
But its true existence, its true projection, that phantom-like river of life and death, continued to flow as usual between heaven and earth; it flashed and vanished, its tiny tributary projections returning once more to their original river channels.
No matter how beings in the world built dams to intercept it, no matter how they guided the river waters, they could not stop the flow of the River of Forgetfulness; its flow was fate, was destiny; the final endpoint was already determined; no matter how the beings within it struggled, it was so.
This projection of the River of Forgetfulness gradually dissipated into the starry void.
Jiang Ding's gaze returned once more to the battlefield.
In the original spot, only a skeleton covered in gray-white color remained, along with a dead, silent azure soul crystal, cold and quiet, long since having lost all vitality.
The moment they decided to use the power of the departed of the River of Forgetfulness, their death was already destined.
"Blood Bone Divine Lord, Dark Soul Divine Lord..."
"Two seniors, as the first Dao-Union cultivators to die in my hands, I will remember you."
Jiang Ding said calmly.
Everything, everything, he remembered clearly.
Kong Que, King of the Golden Core Stage; Shen Ya Master Dinghai Zhenjun of the Nascent Soul Stage; Wan Zhu Canghai Tianjun of the Soul Transformation Stage; Ni Zhao Zhenzun of the Refining Void Realm... and today's Blood Bone Divine Lord, Dark Soul Divine Lord.
As alien Divine Lords, holding countless lives of Immortal Gate citizens in their hands, they died as they deserved.
"However, you indeed fulfilled your promises."
"You bloomed with all your brilliance."
Jiang Ding said silently: "In the future, regarding the Blood Bone Skeleton Clan and the Wraith Clan, if the timing is appropriate, if the conditions are suitable, I am willing to support these two races as subordinate secondary civilizations of the Immortal Gates, assisting the Immortal Gates in ruling the realms, increasing the diversity of the immortal Dao ecosystem."
"This, as gratitude to the two seniors."
"A warrior must always have something to hold onto, regardless of stance."
Jiang Ding waved his hand slightly.
The gray-white skeletal body collapsed; two Storage Treasures of the Dao-Integration Divine Lords flew toward him, landing in his hands, along with a dim blood blade and a blue-glowing spike, all fine Dao-Integration Treasures.
The wealth of the two Dao-Integration Divine Lords should cause his hoard to rise by a large chunk.
Just a large chunk, not a doubling surge.
This is impossible.
As one of the wealthiest among the immortal gates, the ruling-level powers of the realm, his assets already far exceeded those of ordinary Dao-Integration cultivators; the wealth of ordinary Dao-Integration cultivators could no longer raise his assets by much.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation sorted the rules of heaven and earth, smoothed the shattered spaces, washed away karma, and swept away traces.
This realm's starry sky underwent rapid reorganization; after dozens of breaths, everything returned to normal, and this place became an ordinary universe of stars once more.
At the Dragon Grass Minor Realm, tens of thousands of kilometers away, the Refining Void cultivators of the Blood Bone Skeleton Clan and numerous skeletons continued to guard the Minor Thousand Worlds and the teleportation array with dutiful diligence, casting not a single extra glance toward this side.
"Let it be so."
"The next target is the Demon Heaven Realm."
Fire burned in Jiang Ding's gaze, an endless craving: "There, many Dao-Integration Divine Lords of the Ancient God Alliance gather, numbering fully several dozen, including top experts from the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance and the Demon God Sect, plus Dao-Integration Divine Lords bearing the upper-realm inheritances of the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Ancient God Domain, and possibly even..."
"Tianji! Brother Brother Xuanwu! Shadow Demon and the others!"
"Enemies of tens of thousands of years! Today, let this Lord settle everything. Fellow Daoists, venerable elders, please do not be too weak..."
The youth whispered, his figure gradually vanishing from sight.
