Chapter 1543: The Light of the Solar System Gathered into a Single Sword

The Ancient God Patriarch's pupils contracted.

He watched helplessly as the attack he had pinned his hopes on dissolved into nothing, and a sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

This completely defied common sense—loosening control over those ants had been a mistake.

At a moment when his own life was in danger, there was actually still someone willing to reason with him.

And not only that, after reasoning, they were actually willing to listen!

This is your own life—what reasoning could possibly matter as much as a life, or even more than a life?

This was beyond his expectations.

"Go!"

The Ancient God Patriarch let out a low roar, a thousand arms simultaneously forming hand seals, pointing forward into the void.

Hum—

Countless dreamlike curtains of pitch-black descended.

Tens of trillions of immortal sect citizens who had regained their senses sank once more; the roars of vengeful fury, the wraith-like cursing sound waves descended again, destroying countless Heavenly Dao rules, seeping straight into the deepest depths of the heart, luring cultivators toward the Nine Hells Demon Abyss.

This stretch of the universe plunged into a hopeless, lightless demon abyss!

The attack was equally terrifying, in fact hardly any different from before.

"Fellow Daoist Ancient God,"

"Your tricks are quite interesting."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

Boom!

His sword pointed forward, and at last he struck the first sword.

At this moment, heaven and earth trembled, stars swayed.

The light of the entire solar system gathered here without exception, pouring into the solar divine halo behind the blue-robed youth's head; boundless solar radiance surged in, making this solar divine halo incomparably brilliant, incomparably scorching—even the terrifying high temperature capable of melting planets could not destroy it.

Countless solar-rule runes circled the solar divine halo, their light blooming in unison, and then sinking into the Taiqing Flying Sword.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword became light itself, transformed into the embodiment of billions upon billions of rays of light!

No concealment, no cover, no samsara—just like that, the star born four point six billion years ago, its light was caught and gathered by a living being, billions upon billions of rays smelted into a single magnificent, resplendent sword-light, slashing toward the outsider in this stretch of the universe.

In an instant, the light-transformed Taiqing Flying Sword plunged into the endless cursing dream, into the hell-cloud-like mass of cursing black clouds.

Heaven and earth paused for an instant.

All manner of curses, samsara dreams, dark clouds—unleashed by a peak Heavenly Person, a powerhouse qualified to step toward Jiang Jiang Jinxian, containing endless immortal Dao mysteries, a fearsome attack capable of instantly slaughtering Quasi-Heavenly Persons.

Just like that, they froze into nothingness, unable to expand a single inch further.

The next moment,

Sizzle sizzle sizzle…

The cursing dream that blanketed the entire universe crumbled and vanished soundlessly; all manner of incomparably vicious, mysterious curses dissolved into nothing, destroyed by the terrifying solar high temperature, reduced to ash and dust.

Between heaven and earth, only a single sword-light remained!

A single resplendent, terrifying sword-light, bearing the light of the ancient star across billions of years!

It advanced carrying the light of the entire solar system, slashing toward the Thousand-Armed Demon Lord; the ancient stellar radiance blotted out the sky and earth, suppressing everything, filling the entire eye sockets of living beings.

"Kill!"

The Ancient God Patriarch lost his initiative again and again.

In his haste he could only point a single finger, gathering vast, dark power, which in an instant formed a world bustling with people, full of the breath of mortal life—within it, order and samsara turned, with emperors, ministers, farmers, and commoners coming and going, sects, clans, and demon races rising and falling in turn.

Ancient God Mortal Dao!

This was the peak inheritance of the Ancient God Dao, containing the mysteries of a peak Heavenly Person; in structure and precision it surpassed the Eastern Extreme Demon Sect's exploration of the Six Paths of Samsara.

This was the crystallized wisdom of a human inheritor, an unrivaled prodigy of the realm, who had labored in contemplation day after day for hundreds of thousands of years, containing the ultimate mysteries of the immortal Dao.

At this moment, even though it was only hastily pointed out, this Ancient God Mortal Dao world remained incomparably terrifying, as if a real world had been conjured out of thin air—its sheer mass alone could annihilate a Quasi-Heavenly Person powerhouse, let alone the endless samsara within this mortal world.

This Mortal Dao world stood in the way of the solar radiance.

The Taiqing Flying Sword within the endless solar radiance, seeing this, had no thought of stopping or going around; she within the billions upon billions of solar rays did not change in the slightest, simply charging forward, piercing into this Mortal Dao world.

Boom!

Rumble!

Terrible explosions erupted, destroying rules, destroying the world's Heavenly Dao law-net, shattering world and space.

Scenes of terror like world-ending calamities appeared one after another.

Before the Solar Sword, mortal emperors were annihilated, crowns collapsed, ministers, generals, peddlers, commoners, sects, clans, gangs, demon races, and all the human order and human fortune within the mortal world—even the Heavenly Dao law-net of the entire Mortal Dao world in the end—collapsed and shattered, reduced to ash and dust beneath that terrifying flying sword.

Bearing the light of the ancient star, the Taiqing Flying Sword within billions upon billions of solar rays pressed forward without hesitation; heedless of any Heavenly Person mysteries, heedless of any endless mortal samsara, it simply used brute force, terrifying solar high temperature, and an inexhaustible will of law-destroying annihilation to sweep away everything, blasting apart every obstacle.

Ancient God Mortal Dao—broken!

Hum—

From within the shattered Mortal Dao world, a flying sword brimming with endless ferocity, endless destruction, endless savage killing intent appeared in the Ancient God Patriarch's eyes, plunging straight down toward his skull, determined to cut him out root and branch, annihilate body and soul, forever deny him rebirth, to repay the citizens' grievances.

"Kill!"

The Ancient God Patriarch let out a low roar at this final moment.

All the power within his body gathered into one; muscles coiled like dragons, rising and falling like mountain ridges; a thousand arms took the posture of drawing a bow and nocking

an arrow, all blasting together toward the sun in the sky—fierce beyond compare, as if dreaming back to the time when Hou Yi of the Primordial Era shot down the suns, a heroic spirit of warring against heaven and earth, never conceding defeat, never admitting failure.

Boom!

Clang clang!

A thousand ancient demon fists slammed into the Taiqing Flying Sword at once, like two primordial divine-iron mountains colliding.

The entire universe and heaven and earth were torn apart, space shattering into nothingness, several planets cracked with fissures from the aftershock, magma spilling and erupting, the entire planets nearly shattering completely.

They stalemated for a brief instant.

"Good…"

The Ancient God Patriarch's eyes bulged wide in fury.

Crack!

Boom!

Where fist and sword met, cracks appeared on the thousand arms of the Ancient Demon, fissures spreading across those arms as hard as primordial divine iron, and the cracks then spread wildly, extending across the entire arms.

Finally, with a bang.

All thousand arms shattered completely, and along with them his entire body shattered into a skyful of blood mist, leaving only a head with bulging furious eyes cackling strangely.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha… little friend, your reincarnation, not bad!"

The Ancient God Patriarch's head, its wild hair flying in all directions, laughed maniacally.

"Not bad!"

"Truly not bad!"

"Hahaha…"

"Daoist Ancient God, this sovereign, understands now."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

The Solar Divine Halo behind his head blazed with radiance, and he pointed a finger at the Taiqing Flying Sword.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword, bearing the accumulated light of a star over billions of years, flashed once and vanished, piercing straight through the center of the maniacally laughing head's brow.

"Ha—"

The Ancient God Patriarch's manic laughter stalled.

Bang!

His head, with its wild hair flying in all directions, tore apart, becoming chunks of shredded flesh, then turning to white ash, and the ash itself disintegrated.

"Did he succeed?"

The waiting immortal sect powerhouses focused their attention.

Seeing such a scene, their breath caught at once, and they revealed looks of excitement.

However, they quickly calmed themselves.

Because that blue-robed youth had not shown the look of a battle concluded.

Jiang Ding raised his head to look at the sky.

Rumble~

The void was shattering, churning, countless Heavenly Dao rule-law nets surfaced in the heavens, interlacing and entwining, with endless mysterious runes endlessly being born and destroyed.

Within those Heavenly Dao rules, one after another dim world was born—six great worlds of the six paths, reincarnation unending, filling the sky, dim and obscure, living beings unable to look directly, instantly sinking into depravity.

This was part of the Ancient God Patriarch's true body!

A portion of a peak Heavenly Person's true body had appeared.

?? no longer hiding, truly appearing in the universe!
