Chapter 1477: The Great Sun Sword Lord Battles Across the Realm Domains

Jiang Ding concealed his form, shuttling through the realm domains, jumping across space.

Soon, over a month had passed.

Following the guidance of the Central Array Spirit Computer, he arrived at a place called the Crystal Minor Realm.

This was yet another place similar to the Dragon Grass Minor Realm, with a not-small chance that a lone being from the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, or a Dao Merging Divine Lord from the Demon God Sect, would appear.

He quietly lay in wait here, employing a time-retrospection spell.

Unfortunately, he discovered with regret that this Grass Dragon Clan's Dao Merging Divine Lord had long since departed.

"Luck isn't good enough…"

Jiang Ding Zi murmured to himself.

He didn't mind, and continued on to the next place.

The war between the Immortal Gate and the Ancient God Alliance had already lasted for several hundred years, with many offensive and defensive exchanges between the two sides. Each time, the Central Array Spirit Computer had gathered massive amounts of intelligence data, and had long since calculated a highly precise model of the trajectories of Dao Merging Divine Lords' appearances.

The Weaving Heaven Spider Clan, adept in the Dao of Heavenly Secrets of the Ancient God Alliance, and the Heavenly Fate Divine Lord — the two of them combined could not contend with the deductions of the Central Array Spirit Computer.

Unless the Heavenly Secrets Divine Lord joined the Ancient God Alliance and achieved close cooperation, Jiang Ding was bound to gain something.

The second location, the Empty Flow Minor Realm — nothing.

The third location, the Cold Tide Minor Realm — nothing.

The fourth location, the Black Cloud Minor Realm — a hit.

……

It was a grass dragon with a wingspan of several thousand meters.

This dragon's entire body was woven from numerous ancient rune vines, forming flesh and blood; its skeleton was composed of Dark Iron Spirit Wood grown for hundreds of thousands of years; its skin was made of even finer vines; its enormous pupils were like two azure lakes, with ice crystals glittering, emanating a powerful oppressive aura.

This was the Grass Dragon Clan, one of the Dao Merging races of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance — the Grass Dragon Divine Lord.

He was currently traveling through the void, converging with numerous Dao Merging Divine Lords of the Ancient God Alliance to launch yet another assault on the East Extreme Demon Sect, hoping to breach a transit node world of the East Extreme Demon Sect, slaughter it clean, and thoroughly sever the East Extreme Demon Sect's expansion momentum.

He appeared cautious and prudent, not arrogant or overbearing; even while traveling, he remained in a concealed state. His concealment art was derived from the Wood Escape art, exceedingly wondrous, and top-tier among those of the same realm.

Suddenly, the Grass Dragon Divine Lord stopped abruptly.

He stared fixedly ahead.

In the void of the realm domains, a youth in blue robes sat quietly cross-legged.

Clearly, divine sense could not reach him, nothing could be seen, but when the Grass Dragon Divine Lord stepped within ten thousand kilometers, this figure abruptly appeared before his eyes.

The blue-robed youth opened his eyes.

"Early-stage Dao Merging, Senior Grass Dragon."

"I've long admired you."

Jiang Ding said calmly, "Out of respect for you, I'll grant you the time for one move."

"Please do not disappoint me,"

"Such a brilliant Dao Merging realm truly should not die in silence."

"That would be an injustice to the Dao Merging realm, a waste to the Immortal Dao."

"One move?"

"What an arrogant junior."

The Grass Dragon Divine Lord had a smile in both pupils, his divine sense swept the four directions wildly, trying to find the traces of the East Extreme Demon Sect's fleet, and said with a cold laugh: "The Great Sun Sword Son of the East Extreme Demon Sect — this old man has heard that sword cultivators are always arrogant, not knowing the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. I assumed it was merely the world passing on rumors, yet I never expected to truly see it."

"A mere ant at mid-stage Void Refinement — do you take this old man for those juniors?"

"Come out, where is the East Extreme Demon Sect's fleet?"

"At this point, why bother hiding?"

He said coldly.

His divine sense continuously swept the four directions, never finding anything, but he was absolutely unwilling to believe that he faced only a single mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

At the same time, the Grass Dragon Divine Lord frantically sent transmissions to the Ancient God Alliance, requesting reinforcements.

He had a lot to say.

Jiang Ding glanced at him.

Hum!

In that instant, the Grass Dragon Divine Lord's heart was suddenly seized by a chill.

In that instant, he seemed to see the blue-robed youth before him — who had been like an ant, as insignificant as dust — suddenly tear off his human skin, revealing the true form of some primordial fierce beast that preyed on men, greedy and bloodthirsty, never to be satisfied. That violent oppressive aura was like the destruction of the sun, suddenly descending, shrouding the entire heavens and earth.

Under this terrifying sword soul oppressive aura, the Grass Dragon Divine Lord felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his divine soul stiffening for an instant.

"No…"

The Grass Dragon Divine Lord's divine soul trembled and shook; he forcibly pierced his heart with magic power, waking amidst the searing pain.

He looked at the blue-robed youth before him in terror.

At this moment, he recalled some intelligence — intelligence from the Nine Spirit Domain.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the strongest being of the Nine Spirit Domain, the supreme existence whose terrifying shadow shrouded the world, the existence that caused numerous Dao Merging Divine Lords of the Nine Spirit Domain to tremble in inexplicable fear —

Great Sun Sword Pavilion, Great Sun Sword Lord!

Clang!

Jiang Ding stood up.

He slowly drew his sword and said calmly, "Since Senior has refused this opening, unwilling to make a move—"

"then this junior will no longer stand on courtesy."

"Please, Senior, grant me your instruction."

The sword came out,

The sword slashed down.

Boom—!

In this stretch of heaven and earth, across hundreds of thousands of kilometres of starry sky, a web of Heavenly Dao formed from the Solar Sword Dao appeared between heaven and earth, brutally crushing the web of life-rule laws and shrouding everything.

Then, a resplendent sun rose within the Heavenly Dao web.

She was born; she thundered forward, shoving everything aside.

?? Passing through the Deva realm, the Asura realm, the Human realm, then through the Hell realm, the Human realm, and the Hungry Ghost realm — with every Six Paths world she crossed, the sun's radiance grew one measure more dazzling, repeating the cycle three times.

Once the sun had traversed the Six Paths worlds three times, passing through eighteen worlds, it had already become a thread of molten-gold filament, arriving in an instant and filling the entire field of vision of Grass Dragon Divine Lord, leaving not the slightest gap in his pupils for anything else to exist.

"No!"

"Impossible!"

"What kind of monster is this…"

Grass Dragon Divine Lord roared in fury.

His Dao heart wavered and lost its hold; under this sudden, abyssal death crisis, a momentary flaw appeared in his Dao heart.

In that instant, all two thousand six hundred and twenty-seven grass-stem scales across his entire body froze with an icy chill, like blades stabbing into flesh and blood, stiffening without end.

"Kill!"

No matter what, those tens of thousands of years of slaughter and time had not been spent in vain — at this perilous moment, Grass Dragon Divine Lord still made the most correct choice.

In an instant he ignited his essence blood, ignited his divine soul, and erupted with a terrifying power like a tsunami.

"Roar!"

Grass Dragon Divine Lord threw back his head and howled, gathering all his power, and spewed forth a deep, dark-green spiritual light.

Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Soul-Devouring Divine Light!

This was the innate bloodline divine ability of the Grass Dragon clan — extreme poison, lock-on, guaranteed hit!

At this moment it was pushed by him to its absolute extreme; he burned all his essence blood, his divine soul, and even his demon core was spewed forth, every last bit urged forth, erupting with the ultimate power.

Under such power, Grass Dragon Divine Lord even believed he could grievously wound a late-stage Dao Merging cultivator!

This dark-green life-rule aggregated divine light arrived in an instant; he had no intention of meeting the flying sword head-on, but instead aimed at the true body of that green-robed youth, intending to perish together with him — vicious and ruthless.

However, he could not do it.

That one resplendent, twisted golden thread of a phantom line flew in from afar, unhurried, and easily intercepted the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Soul-Devouring Divine Light, slicing in at its weakest point, shattering and collapsing every rule node, destroying the web of life-rule laws, piercing straight through from beginning to end, cleaving through everything in a single line.

Beneath the sword, the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Soul-Devouring Divine Light crumbled into a shower of flowing light!

"Impossible!"

"Mid-stage Void Refinement! This is impossible…"

Grass Dragon Divine Lord's enormous pupils bulged out.

Had he seen wrong?

Was this not a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, but rather a peak Dao Merging powerhouse?

Grass Dragon Divine Lord was terrified to the extreme.

He could no longer care about anything; he fled madly into the distance, utterly heedless of that twisted golden thread of a phantom line still flickering after the collapse of the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Soul-Devouring Divine Light.

He turned and fled, his massive body merging into the life-rule Heavenly Dao web and vanishing.

?? In an instant he had escaped tens of thousands of kilometres, his speed reaching the absolute limit — even the divine sense of a Void Refinement cultivator could not catch him.

Then,

One ten-thousandth of an instant later, Grass Dragon Divine Lord's body abruptly stiffened, broke free from the Heavenly Dao rule web, and plunged downward beneath the starry sky.
