Chapter 1584: The Newly Emerged Grand Yin-Yang Inheritance Sword Cultivator

The Divine Monarch Xuandiao's taut body gradually relaxed.

Suddenly,

a voice sounded in his ear.

"What are you so nervous about?"

The voice was hazy, carrying an echo, as if coming from the depths of an endless dream, seeping into the hearts of living beings and stirring ripples one after another.

"Not good!"

The Divine Monarch Xuandiao's face changed drastically.

Without a second thought, he instantly ignited his essence blood, sending up vast swathes of golden light, transforming into a mountain-range-sized Divine Eagle of Mysterious Gold, wings spreading to bridge heaven and earth. With a piercing screech, he lunged to kill his own son — ruthless to the extreme.

The True Venerable Golden Eagle stood dumbfounded, rooted to the spot.

Just as death was about to claim him, within the dream, a single finger emerged from his eyes.

The finger was slender, pale and long; against that frenzied demon Divine Monarch it looked as fragile as an ant, as if a gust of wind could shatter it.

Yet this very finger, lightly pressing down, pierced through layer upon layer of golden light capable of tearing apart sky and earth, broke through the endless slicing and hacking of the Divine Monarch Xuandiao's boundless golden feathers, and — under his gaze of absolute terror — drove into the brow of his bird-head.

Crack!

The sound of bone collapsing.

A bloody hole appeared on the Divine Monarch Xuandiao's mountain-peak-like skull; brain matter burst forth, great gouts of fresh blood gushed like a spring, raining down across sky and earth — only to be drawn back, leaving not a single trace.

This demon-race body, sturdy enough to withstand the bombardment of countless rule-nets unscathed, was as fragile as tofu before that finger.

The soul within the body was reduced to ash the instant the finger touched it — even more fragile than the flesh.

This was what happened on the material plane.

On another plane — the plane of the Six Paths Dream — the Divine Monarch Xuandiao still carried the True Venerable Golden Eagle away, returning to the Golden Sea Region, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Time to truly face everything…"

Jiang Ding watched the retreating backs of the two demons.

He needed Void Refinement cultivators to mask the world-breaking phenomena, but now there were no scattered Void Refinement cultivators nearby — all of them had been recalled by the Immortal Weapon Sect, or forcibly taken away and placed under watch.

He could forcibly compel one or two Void Refinement cultivators to head to the boundary wall, but it was pointless — there was no longer any masking effect; any Void Refinement cultivator's world-breaking phenomenon would stand out like a lantern in the night sky.

The only good news was that, from this demon Dao Merging divine soul, he had obtained some valuable intelligence.

Jiang Ding turned and left.

Not long after, within the boundary wall of the Cloud Dream Region, he broke through the boundary alone, triggering the world-breaking phenomenon.

This place was nine regions away from the nearest Central Region.

……

A streak of fleeing light soared across the sky!

This streak of Yin-Yang fleeing light's

speed surpassed that of an ordinary Dao Merging Divine Monarch, far exceeding that of the previous Void Refinement cultivators. Concealing its form, it shot toward the boundary wall at extreme speed.

Jiang Ding was no longer bothering to disguise himself!

The phenomenon meant exposure — now he had truly appeared before the eyes of the Immortal Weapon Sect's powerful experts; from all directions, a great number of powerful experts were sure to converge.

His only chance of survival now was to not expose his Dao Child-level strength of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong too early, not let Heavenly Being-level experts act personally, or at least delay their intervention — so that he could escape one step ahead.

This sliver of strategic misjudgment was his very life!

Break through!

Break through!

Break through!

World-breaking phenomena kept appearing within the Immortal Weapon Sect's domain — the sole such phenomenon across a vast stretch of territory. All of the Immortal Weapon Sect's Void Refinement cultivators and loose cultivators had been ordered to remain within the sect, or forcibly commanded to go to the Golden Sea Region to pay homage to the Heavenly Being; not a single one was left outside.

This lone phenomenon was far too conspicuous!

After crossing just three regions, twelve Dao Merging Divine Monarchs appeared before Jiang Ding.

These Dao Merging cultivators spanned the early, middle, and peak stages, each leading a large contingent of flesh-and-blood Heavenly Demon Puppets, forming a ghastly Demon Dragon Puppet Grand Array. A blood-puppet demon dragon flickered in and out of view within the dark-cloud law-net, radiating a powerful oppressive force — faintly approaching the threshold of a quasi-Heavenly Being, terrifyingly so.

Jiang Ding's gaze turned icy. He slowly halted his steps and conjured two figures — one male, one female.

They were precisely the Taiyou Sword Child and the Guangming Sword Child.

At his current speed, he could still circle around this Dao Merging grand array, but it would mean a detour — a longer detour — and that would inevitably draw him into the ambushes and blockades of more arrays!

This was the Immortal Weapon Sect's home ground; they held the home advantage. Their sect's cultivators were everywhere — no direction was weakly defended.

The best method was a frontal breakthrough!

"Clearly it's a Void Refinement-stage world-breaking phenomenon, not a Dao Merging cultivator…"

"Are you two Void Refinement-stage Grand Yin-Yang Inheritance Sword Cultivators?"

An old man riding a flesh-and-blood puppet white crane said, somewhat uncertain and wavering.

The man and woman before him clearly carried the aura of Grand Yin-Yang Inheritance Sword Cultivators, yet in the Immortal Weapon Sect's intelligence, the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm had never produced these two inheritance sword cultivators — every Grand Yin-Yang Inheritance Sword Cultivator was recorded in the Immortal Weapon Sect's files.

Perhaps that was to be expected.

An inheritance sword cultivator generation could have multiple holders; the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm was an ancient immortal sect, and it was impossible for every inheritance sword cultivator to be recorded by the Immortal Weapon Sect.

Still, that didn't matter.

What mattered was that slaying or even delaying a Grand Yin-Yang Inheritance Sword Cultivator of the Grand Yin-Yang Sword Realm would be a great merit — a leap in cultivation would be the least of it; even a sliver of hope of glimpsing the Heavenly Being realm was possible.

"Two young

friends,"

"why be in such a hurry? Why not sit down and let us discuss the mysteries and discourse upon the Dao?"

The old man on the white-crane puppet said warmly.

"Those who block me—"

"Die."

Jiang Ding said flatly.

One voice, then two, came from a man and a woman.

Clang!

Jiang Ding struck out with a sword, splitting into the Yin and Yang swords of the Taiyou Sword Son and the Guangming Sword Son, merging into a Yin-Yang Prison Slaughter Sword Array. Infinite Yin-Yang rule law-nets swirled around the array, and endless Yin-Yang sword qi fell like raindrops upon the Immortal Artifact Sect's Flesh-Blood Demon Dragon Puppet Array.

This was swordsmanship of the purest Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm—genuine beyond any doubt.

The Great Sun Sword Master possessed the inheritances of the Sun-Moon Sword Pavilion and the Dark-Bright Sword Grotto-Heaven, so displaying pure Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm sword techniques and Gong Fa was the easiest thing in the world.

"Truly a sword cultivator of the Grand Yin-Yang inheritance!"

The expression of the old man riding the white crane puppet also changed.

A Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong inheritance sword cultivator—this must be the power of a quasi-Heavenly Human. Though far inferior to a Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Child, it was still quasi-Heavenly Human power!

This was power enough to slaughter them all!

However, if it was merely a matter of stalling…

"Kill!"

Numerous Immortal Artifact Sect Unity Realm cultivators and Flesh-Blood Heavenly Demon puppet soldiers roared and charged forward, while the Flesh-Blood Demon Dragon puppet above the great array roared and pounced.

The result?

The result had long been decided.

The Taiyou Sword Son and the Guangming Sword Son, at the cost of burning their essence blood, slew the white crane puppet elder and several Unity Realm cultivators along with hundreds of thousands of Flesh-Blood Heavenly Demon puppet soldiers in an extremely short time, forcibly cutting their way out of the Flesh-Blood Demon Dragon Puppet Array and transforming into a shrill streak of Yin-Yang sword light as they fled into the distance.

Another domain broken!

The World-Breaking phenomenon appeared once more.

Just five more domains to pass through, and he could escape to safety.
