Chapter 1509: Farewell, Fellow Daoist Guangming

In the cosmic starry sky, sheets of heavy rain poured down without cease, battering the Taiyou-Guangming Two-Form Indestructible Sword Formation until it was smashed into pieces, crackling and popping, the yin-yang sword-rain umbrella shaved away layer by layer yet growing back layer by layer, its yin-yang rotation truly worthy of being called indestructible.

Yet within the hearts of the Guangming Sword Lord and the Taiyou Sword Lord, a creeping, bone-deep chill was slowly spreading.

Their divine souls screamed frantic warnings, and they quickly located the source of the danger.

Behind that blue-robed youth, two hazy worlds had appeared at some unknown moment—one a sword-Dao world resplendent with golden light, the other a sword-Dao world of earthen yellow.

The danger came precisely from there.

"Fellow Daoist Guangming,"

Jiang Ding noticed his gaze and said calmly, "This Sovereign believes you have no possibility of escape. Might I ask if Fellow Daoist agrees?"

"This Sovereign's sword debuts today, and Fellow Daoist shall be its opponent."

"That is no disgrace to it."

Clang!

Amidst this skyful of heavy rain, Jiang Ding struck his third sword.

As this sword emerged, a hazy emerald-green sword-Dao world appeared—within it, all things grew, myriad beings multiplied, mutated, evolved; everything happened in an extremely short span, many species arose, many species perished.

This was the Sword of Formlessness.

This sword passed soundlessly and invisibly through the Taiyou-Guangming Two-Form Indestructible Sword Formation, sweeping across with sword Qi that had undergone countless targeted evolutions and mutations, sinking into it.

"Kill!"

The Guangming Sword Lord sensed the danger and roared.

Tens of thousands of pure-white and pure-black sword Qi each flew in from afar; the Guangming and Taiyou Heavenly Dao rule-law nets blazed brilliantly, all power suddenly condensing into two black-and-white sword-Dao Heavenly Dragon sword-lights that crossed upward in a slash.

Space and rules were silently and invisibly torn apart beneath those two crossing sword-lights, capable of cleaving even a Dao-Combining Divine Monarch's divine soul with ease.

Yet, when the sharp sword-light of the Formless Mutating Sword—evolved and mutated countless times—appeared, everything else was delusion.

Riiip!

The two black-and-white Heavenly Dragon sword-lights were silently and invisibly severed.

The yin-yang indestructible sword-Qi umbrella of the Taiyou-Guangming Two-Form Indestructible Sword Formation was likewise severed; formation nodes exploded and shattered one after another, the entire sword formation plunging into collapse and destruction—even the foundation supporting the great formation's operation, the two great rule-Heavenly Dao law nets, crumbled, destroyed beyond any further destruction.

Jiang Ding gazed at the shattered formation.

A moment later,

"Indestructible Sword cultivators…"

"In the Upper Realm, there must be countless Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong powerhouses who have cursed them, haven't there?"

Jiang Ding sighed.

Having offense so sharp and unrivaled would be one thing, but being so hard to deal with on top of that is simply despair-inducing.

Every immortal sect standing in the Upper Realm has an epic, legendary past; the countless narrow escapes from death they have experienced, battling across realms, are simply standard

fare.

Clang!

Amid a pleasant ring of sword-song.

In that cosmic void which had clearly already been utterly destroyed, where life and divine souls had been completely shattered into nihility, an entirely new, complete Taiyou-Guangming Two-Form Indestructible Sword Formation still at its peak state was rapidly regenerating!

At the center of this formation, the Taiyou Sword Lord and the Guangming Sword Lord were deathly pale, their essence blood greatly depleted, yet they had actually not died.

How terrifying. How dreadful.

Moreover, Jiang Ding could sense that the flying swords of these two were attempting, during their recovery, to break free of the bindings of the heavy rain and the Solar Forbidden Sword Domain, fleeing outward—but without success.

If his strength were only slightly greater than these two, he would already have been defeated and perished.

"Great Sun, how much magic power do you still have?"

The Guangming Sword Lord's gaze was blood-red and ferocious.

Beside that blue-robed youth, an emerald-green world brimming with vitality appeared, making the invisible omen of icy death grow ever thicker, almost rising past his neck, about to drown his head.

"Plenty."

Jiang Ding said lightly.

Boom!

A world of destruction and fusion appeared behind him, instantly transforming into an eternal star fixed in the high heavens; countless fusion reactions occurred within the star, gathering endless destructive power, its radiance illuminating the entire cosmos, banishing all darkness from heaven and earth.

This star descended from the sky, plunging into the Taiyou-Guangming Two-Form Indestructible Sword Formation.

"Kill…"

The Guangming Sword Lord and the Taiyou Sword Lord roared.

They condensed the power of an entire sword formation; hundreds of thousands of black-and-white wings rose into the air, transforming into hundreds of thousands of yin-yang indestructible flying swords that converged and shot toward the falling star, swords shattering myriad paths through the void, layer upon layer of Heavenly Dao rule-law nets blotted out the sky and sun, even briefly overpowering the sheets of heavy rain.

The fusion star responded to all of this with nothing but the blooming of its radiance.

Boom!

Rumble!

Between heaven and earth, in an instant, all was blindingly bright—only light remained; everything else was gone, rules collapsed, space annihilated, even the radiance of eternal stars was no more.

No one knew how long passed, but when heaven and earth returned to normal, what met the eye was still a skyful of raindrops.

"Hehe…"

"The Indestructibility of Taiyin and Taiyang…"

Jiang Ding chuckled softly.

In that cosmic starry sky of great destruction and great explosion, two withered, skeletal cultivators appeared once more—they were nothing but skin and bones now, their essence blood and flesh mostly vanished without a trace.

Yet still alive.

Hardier than cockroaches—truly horrifying.

"This Sovereign is somewhat disgusted."

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

Buzz!

No further action was needed; a world of the Flame Sword Dao spontaneously appeared between heaven and earth.

At this moment!

Behind the youth in green robes, five world-phantoms appeared behind him. Faintly, a terrifying oscillating resonance emerged, causing the myriad rules of the cosmic void to buzz incessantly, even stirring a certain force of cosmic origin that radiated an extremely dreadful aura, as if it intended to slaughter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the eight wildernesses of the universe.

"This..."

"What sword art is this?"

The Light Sword Master said in terror.

He could not help but be terrified, for beneath this sword, he finally clearly smelled death.

And within the inheritance of his Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, there was not a single trace of inheritance regarding this sword strike; it was entirely unfamiliar and unknown, with not a shred of information.

"This sword,"

"is named the Sword of the Six Realms of Heaven and Earth, Samsara, and the Destruction of the Five Elements!"

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

"Daoist Light, you just asked me how much magic power I have left?"

"Then, I will tell you now."

Jiang Ding said calmly: "I have the power of two sword strikes left. After these two strikes, I will exhaust all my magic power and divine consciousness, and can only wait for death with my neck extended."

"The first strike, I will give to you, to send you on your way, my Daoist friend."

"The second strike, I will give to the Combined Dao Divine Lords of the Badaxian Sect who may appear; this strike will break through all obstacles for me and carve out a path to life."

"Now,"

Clang!

Jiang Ding gently drew the Taqing Flying Sword.

Merely as the blade lightly left its sheath, the five Five-Elements Sword Dao worlds trembled incessantly, which in turn caused the entire heaven and earth to tremble without cease. A certain force of heaven and earth's origin was drawn, about to unleash terrifying light that would erase living beings entirely from their most fundamental source; all escape Mi Fa would be useless.

"This first strike is for you!"

"Farewell, Daoist friend of this Lord, Light."

Jiang Ding sighed softly.

The sword had left its sheath.

A chaotic sword light illuminated the entire heaven and earth, waiting silently.

This was the final courtesy a sword cultivator offers a Daoist friend.

Daoist friend, you still have the chance to draw your sword; your death will surely not be humble and silent, but will be a magnificent blooming of all glory before death.

"The Sword of the Six Realms of Heaven and Earth, Samsara, and the Destruction of the Five Elements?"

"What spirit!"

The Light Sword Master laughed, his smile somewhat ferocious and also somewhat delighted: "Since the Daoist friend is so polite, I shall not decline."

He exchanged a glance with the Taiyou Sword Master.

In that instant, they simultaneously made their choice.

Burning their last essence blood, burning their last divine souls, burning their last sword souls, they erupted with the strongest power of their lives, transforming into a Biyi Bird.

Soaring through the endless universe.

Cry!

This Biyi Bird opened its sharp beak, swallowing the entire heaven and earth's Taiyou Light Rule Net, drawing it into itself, completely transforming into a Taiyou Light Sword Soul living being, a sword soul living being with only a moment of life.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In that instant, a male voice and a female voice appeared simultaneously, then merged.

This sword soul Biyi Bird shrieked, erupting with the brilliant final echo of its sword soul, launching a final attack upon the youth in green robes with the most tragic will!

Sword Soul Kill!

This sword strike could even be said to possess ten times the power of their previous attacks, completely exceeding the limit, a strike carved out at the cost of their final life.

"Daoist friend,"

"Have a safe journey."

Jiang Ding revealed a trace of sorrowful expression.

Buzz!

The long-awaited chaotic sword light crashed down; the sword of destruction of the heaven and earth's Five Elements origin fell upon the Biyi Bird sword soul, pouring into its entire body. The light thus dissipated, with no overflow whatsoever.

The Biyi Bird sword soul froze.

"Master..."

"Father..."

"Ancestor, Ancestor..."

At this moment, endless sorrow filled the upper and lower reaches of the Youming Sword Grotto-Heaven; countless people wept bitterly.

Jiang Ding paid no heed to these, his gaze quietly looking toward the depths of the starry sky in the distance.

There, eight existences with terrifying auras had formed a rule net cage with an array, approaching step by step, sealing off step by step; the entire sealing net was about to complete its final closure.
