Chapter 1482: What a Pity, Truly What a Pity!

The great tribulation that destroys heaven and earth has descended!

Hundreds of millions of stars trembled, plummeting from the heavens, carrying the frenzied killing intent of dozens of Dao Merging Divine Monarchs, long prepared, all of them falling upon that blue-robed youth.

Before the terrifying attack even drew near, the cage of Heaven's Dao law-net formed by dozens of Dao Merging Divine Monarchs descended first, falling upon him, binding everything in place—even a peak Dao Merging cultivator could not break free from such a fearsome assault.

Boom!

Rumble!

The blue-robed youth had only just drawn his long sword, slashing out a wheel of sun-destroying light, when he was instantly struck by hundreds of millions of stars, shattered along with the surrounding Six Paths worlds, again and again, until even the rules within the void were pulverized, until even the particles of space ceased to exist.

"Is he dead?"

A Dao Merging Divine Monarch whispered coldly.

Such an attack, even against several peak Dao Merging cultivators, would mean instant annihilation, their souls returning to Heaven's Dao—let alone a fragile sword cultivator.

This was the furious strike unleashed together by dozens of Dao Merging cultivators, arrayed in formation, joining forces!

Moreover, due to the immense life-and-death pressure from outside, the internal conflicts among them had greatly diminished, mutual trust increased, and their guard against one another lessened—this strike could truly be called the most peak-level strike.

There were even veteran Dao Merging Divine Monarchs who had lived through countless years who asserted that even a quasi-Eighth Stage cultivator could not withstand this strike head-on!

Because among them, there were simply too many peak Dao Merging cultivators, and far too many of them.

How could a Void Refinement cultivator, no matter how heaven-defying a talent, possibly withstand such terrifying power?

The shattered void showed no change for a long, long time.

Had he truly perished?

"Go."

Weaving-Heaven Spider Divine Monarch and Heavenly Fate Divine Monarch could not be certain; they had witnessed the clear death of a Void Refinement being, yet still could not be sure, and merely urged.

The many Dao Merging Divine Monarchs of the Ancient God Alliance jointly urged the formation forward, their escape light surging once more, ignoring everything else, fleeing this place at the fastest speed possible.

Rumble!

Crack……

The sound of the world's wall shattering, layer upon layer, once again reached the ears of the many Dao Merging Divine Monarchs.

They looked around, and one by one, dreamlike Six Paths worlds reappeared, imbued with a terrifying, hazy, bewitching meaning—just staring at them stirred a dizziness of the divine soul, a desire to forget oneself and plunge wholly within, making their hearts shudder.

"He isn't dead!"

Heavenly God Divine Monarch cried out in shock and fury.

His words were filled with disbelief, utter incredulity.

This was the terrifying power of a quasi-Eighth Stage!

This terrifying power would kill even a peak Dao Merging cultivator, body and soul annihilated—how could a mere mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator possibly survive?

He had seen it with absolute clarity: that junior's strength was at most that of a late-stage Dao Merging cultivator—

nothing more.

Such was the power—how could it contend?

"Honored seniors,"

"Don't go…"

Jiang Ding spat a great mouthful of blood, his aura faint and fading, yet he wore an innocent, joyful smile, blocking the path of the dozens of Dao Merging Divine Monarchs, and pleaded earnestly, "Don't go."

"Stay, and grant this sovereign your guidance—with your lives…"

"…Stay… stay…"

"…Stay…"

AMove! A chill rose in the hearts of every Dao Merging Divine Monarch.

Great Sun Sword Pavilion,

the name of the Great Sun Sword Master!

This legendary title from the Nine Spirit Domain appeared before them for the first time in living reality; the history recorded in jade slips was reflected into the present for the first time.

At this moment, they no longer had any doubts as to why the strength of Heavenly Mechanism Divine Monarch and the others far surpassed that of the Ancient God Domain.

"No!"

"The one just now was not his true body!"

Heavenly Fate Divine Monarch growled low, "If that had been his true body, he would have undoubtedly died—no matter what, he could not have withstood our joint strike; his current growth is still far from enough!"

"We must find his true body!"

That terrifying rain of stars just now had struck empty ground!

No matter how fearsome the attack, striking a stretch of void utterly devoid of anything was completely useless, unable to harm the enemy in the slightest.

"Is the one here now his true body?!"

Three-Faced Divine Monarch roared in fury.

"I don't know!"

"I don't know…"

Heavenly Fate Divine Monarch and Weaving-Heaven Spider Divine Monarch cried out in frenzy.

Within the lock of their divine sense, this was the true body—this was a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, the Great Sun Sword Master of this generation, beyond any doubt.

However!

Just now, their divine sense and Heavenly Mechanism divination had likewise concluded so!

"Since that is so, then this is it!"

"Kill!"

Three-Faced Divine Monarch erupted in towering rage.

He suddenly became the center of the grand formation, inhaling the spiritual energy of the four directions, the light of sun, moon, and stars, transforming into a demon god tens of thousands of meters tall with three heads and six arms, all three massive heads roaring together.

Roar!

The three heads—fierce, compassionate, and battle-mad—all opened their bloody maws and roared out wave after wave of black light ripples, merging together into a beam of annihilating, deathly still divine radiance, emanating an endless aura of destruction, as if the heavens, earth, and universe were about to be annihilated and utterly collapse.

Ancient God Dao secret transmission, Hell Dao Annihilating Life-and-Death Tribulation Light!

This terrifying deathly still divine radiance flashed and vanished in an instant, piercing straight through the forehead of the blue-robed youth, boring a hole clean through from front to back; his entire body was utterly destroyed, losing all vitality, body and soul both extinguished.

"I…

…"

The blue-robed youth swung his sword down, his body stiffened, and he swayed and tumbled to the ground.

Is he dead?

This thought surfaced simultaneously in the minds of every Path-Integration Divine Monarch of the Ancient God Alliance.

In all of their divine senses, this person was dead—flesh and blood, the perished divine soul, the dispersing laws—every single one was real; he had truly died.

"Central Group Army communication channel connecting…"

In the distance, where the Demon Heaven Realm lay, as the final streak of radiance solidified, the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect Central Group Army's two-billion-citizen fleet descended completely, bearing terrifying oppressive might as they charged over.

"Run!"

Celestial Fortune Divine Monarch barked sharply.

The dozens of Path-Integration Divine Monarchs within the grand formation felt the same crushing urgency, erupting with full speed as they fled frantically toward the depths of the universe, not daring to waste a single moment.

Don't be fooled by the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect fleet's massive, bloated scale.

In truth, in terms of straight-line acceleration speed, the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect Central Group Army fleet was faster than them!

In the previous wars, the reason they had been able to escape was entirely because they had pre-set up long-range teleportation formations, scattering and fleeing one step ahead.

In the starry cosmos, the larger the body, the faster the speed.

Because power is speed!

Boom!

Crack!

At this moment, that familiar sound rang out once again; the walls of the surrounding world shattered layer by layer, countless world illusions flickering between life and death, never to be escaped.

He had revived once more!

"You cannot escape…"

Jiang Ding's face was cracked, threads of fresh blood flowing, wounded by the aftershock of the attack; he gazed at the dozens of Path-Integration Divine Monarchs of the Ancient God Alliance, his eyes filled with endless regret, endless lament.

"You all should have belonged entirely to this Monarch!"

"Completely!"

"All of you!"

"If I could keep chasing like this for several thousand or even tens of thousands of years, I would surely be able to cut you down one by one and complete this Monarch's breakthrough in the Sword Dao of Heavenly Sword…"

"What a pity,"

"What a pity, truly such a pity…"
