Chapter 1507: Sword Soul, Sword Art, Creation

Jiang Ding raised his head and looked toward the sky.

Within the radiance, the Taiyou Sword Lord and the Bright Sword Lord arrived hand in hand—the male cultivator handsome, the female cultivator beautiful, in perfect harmony, just as the light and darkness of heaven and earth, coexisting and perishing together.

"Haha!"

"Fellow Daoist Great Sun,"

The Bright Sword Lord smiled faintly: "Please go and die. From now on, this Divine Lord will remember you, Fellow Daoist."

Clang!

A flying sword of brilliant radiance left its sheath, rising amid layers of golden threads interwoven into the Bright Sword Dao's rule-heaven law-net—so pure, so bright, a wisp of primordial light within this heaven's law.

Clang!

At the instant the Bright Sword left its sheath, a flying sword of deep darkness descended within endless night, the Taiyin rule-heaven law-net of darkness descending like the abyss of the Nine Hells, shrouding and devouring all.

The two terrifying flying swords, one of utmost Yang and one of utmost Yin, should have been locked in mutual destruction, annihilating each other. Yet when they converged, each contained the other, Yin and Yang gave birth to one another, blooming into a fearsome Grand Taiji Sword Array that slaughtered toward every living being between heaven and earth.

The sword intent within this Grand Taiji Sword Array had long since transformed into a Sword Soul!

Peak of Dao Merging, possessing a Sword Soul!

This caused the might of the Grand Taiji Sword Array to rapidly climb, surpassing the past, surpassing the former experts of the Bright-Dark Sword Grotto-heaven. This was the great opportunity that war brought to sword cultivators, and also the source of the Bright Sword Lord's boundless confidence in sword combat.

They would surely be victorious, slay the Great Sun Sword Lord, and become a generation's supreme Taiyou Bright Sword Lord!

"How wonderful…"

"The experts between realms never disappoint."

Jiang Ding sighed in admiration.

With a single point of his finger, the resplendent sun behind him thundered forward horizontally. Rules such as Law-Destruction, Annihilation, Aberration, and Law-Sealing formed the sun's halo, transforming into the shadows of six great worlds, charging straight toward the Grand Taiji Sword Array in the sky. Like the morning sun rising in the east, the natural order of heaven and earth—irreversible, impossible to obstruct.

The rules of this sun were so complex, divided into six paths yet seemingly one body, emanating a strange sense of purity that defied comprehension.

No matter how many unknowns there were, in the eyes of countless cultivators, the sun plunged into the Grand Taiji Sword Array.

Sizzle…

At first, only the sun's sword Qi and the Taiyou Bright Sword Qi were seen annihilating each other, the rule-heaven law-nets shattering and collapsing one by one. The Grand Taiji Sword Array flickered between life and death, spawning streaks of black-and-white sword Qi that slashed into the sun, cleaving off rays of light, wrapping the sun entirely, devouring it, sweeping all before it.

This was the power of Peak Dao Merging!

In terms of sheer quantity and quality of magic power, the two great Dao Merging Divine Lords possessed at least four times the magic power of the Great Sun Sword Lord. Moreover, having achieved a Sword Soul, their strength had greatly increased.

In this single instant, all of heaven and earth was shrouded by the rules of darkness and light, destroying the sun's radiance—

—stripping it of its light.

'Did the Sword Lord win?'

The many Void Refinement cultivators of the Bright-Dark Sword Grotto-heaven were stirred.

Whether from sentiment or from their stance and interests, they would of course choose their sect's ancestor over a distant fellow-origin expert who existed only in the sect's records.

At this moment, the Taiyou Sword Son and the Bright Sword Son both subtly changed expression.

The two of them had already advanced to the Void Refinement realm, the strongest beneath the current generation's Bright-Dark Sword Grotto-heaven ancestor. Gazing at the Dao Merging battlefield in the sky, they keenly perceived more.

Through layers of spiritual light and mist, the two saw that deep within the Grand Taiji Sword Array, the sun's rules and the Bright-Taiyou rules were annihilating each other. Clearly, the sun's rules were at an absolute disadvantage, utterly incomparable in quantity or quality.

But upon closer inspection, one would discover a terrifying truth.

Namely, that the sun's rules were rapidly changing, rapidly growing, gradually beginning to defeat three parts of Taiyou Bright power with one part of its own—even four parts, five parts…

At a certain moment, this change and growth reached its limit.

The Grand Taiji Sword Array suddenly swelled. Even the indestructibility of Yin and Yang could resist no longer. The Taiyou Bright rules snapped one by one, collapsed, and then—

Boom!

Rumble!

A terrifying great explosion occurred.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers of cosmic starry sky fell into apocalyptic catastrophe. The starry sky caved in, rules shattered and collapsed, the Grand Taiji Sword Array crumbled inch by inch. Only a rising sun remained, blooming with terrifying radiance, illuminating all, dispelling the Taiyou Bright Sword Domain.

Between heaven and earth, only the endless destructive Sun Sword Domain remained!

"How could this be?"

The Bright Sword Lord cried out involuntarily.

His strength had clearly surged greatly after achieving the Sword Soul, clearly held an absolute advantage in power, yet he still lost in a direct clash?

This made no sense!

"Those who can advance through war are not only you."

"Fellow Daoist Bright."

Jiang Ding said coldly: "In nearly a thousand years, I've only just managed to push my sword art to the Quasi-Heaven Sword realm, barely altering a sliver of heaven and earth's rules. This lord feels quite ashamed in his heart…"

"So, Fellow Daoist,"

"If this is all you have—if it's only a Sword Soul—then go and die."

Boom!

Jiang Ding drew his sword and struck!

Between heaven and earth, rings of starry sky suddenly appeared one after another. Each ring was ten thousand li in size, with the faint light of primordial magnetism within. Each contained the highest technology of the Immortal Gate's electromagnetic weapons, each ring-world containing hundreds of millions of primordial magnetism rule prohibitions, electromagnetic prohibition accelerators,

There were six such starry-world rings in total.

The destructive sun transformed from the Taiqing flying sword passed through one starry-world ring, its speed suddenly surging. Then through another starry-world ring… speed climbing step by step, until finally reaching a velocity invisible even to the divine sense of a Dao Merging Divine Lord, locking onto the living souls of beings as it descended.

In their eyes, only the light of destruction remained, shrouding all.

An involuntary trace of fear arose in their hearts.

"Quasi-Heaven Sword?"

"He's still only at the Void Refinement realm!"

"Just the Void Refinement Realm, nothing more!"

The Light Sword Lord was angered by the faint fear that had risen in his heart, and murmured, "The two of us have cultivated the Dao for nearly a hundred thousand years—could it be that we have accomplished nothing at all?"

"That is absolutely not the truth."

He exchanged a glance with his Dao companion, and then their divine souls simultaneously left their bodies and merged with their respective Natal Flying Swords. The two flying swords were at once dazzlingly radiant and gloomily dark; the aura on the swords multiplied several times over, and streams of black-and-white sword Qi sprouted from the blades, interweaving and coiling around each other.

The Law Webs of the Light Rule and the Grand Darkness Rule across the entire starry sky reflected upon them.

Under the entanglement of the two great Rule Law Webs, streams of sword Qi around the two flying swords sketched out lines of sword Qi one after another, painting a resplendent black-and-white Heavenly-Winged Divine Bird across the starry sky. Its eyes flickered with spiritual light, and its Sword Intent was terrifying to the extreme.

Sword Spirit Sword Art Creation!

This is a Sword Art Creation born only when a sword cultivator's devotion to the Sword Dao reaches the absolute extreme—one of the most difficult directions for a sword cultivator pursuing the Sword Dao to achieve, worthy of being called a living being within the sword.

And the Yin-Yang Sword Dao holds an immense advantage over other Sword Daos in this regard.

Screech!

This Heavenly-Winged Divine Bird, radiating terrifying Sword Intent, let out a sharp cry. Its speed suddenly leapt to the utmost extreme, completely unaffected, and it dove toward the sun that had accelerated to the limit in the sky, its ferocious might blazing.

At this moment, it was as if one had dreamed back to the time when the heavens and earth first opened, to that terrifying primordial age when ancient gods could swallow the heavens with a single hand.
