Chapter 1645: Fellow Daoist, Let Me Show You the Beauty of My Homeland

A terrifying bone-armored monster crawled out of the Star River scroll painting!

It devoured all the nearly ten billion living beings, smelted them into bone plates draped over its body, its entire form shrouded in terrifying baleful aura, breathing in and out the rules of universal space, while the puppet destiny Heavenly Dao rule-law net became a deep crimson cape hanging from its shoulders.

Even more terrifying was its divine soul aura!

At this moment, the Immortal Artifact Son's divine soul had grown several times larger, nearly exceeding the limit of a Great Thousand World Dao Son, and though the divine soul was vast it did not appear muddled or chaotic—everything was in perfect order.

The burst of divine soul computing power and puppet Heavenly Dao rule-deduction power in an instant far surpassed anything before!

So much so that the violent power within its body it could handle and operate in an orderly manner, without the slightest disorder.

Within that skull, it was as if a puppet collective consciousness existed!

"This Dao Son... has seen it."

"You wretched, pretentious, lowly flesh worm!"

The Immortal Artifact Son stepped upon the cosmic star river, staring at the blue-robed youth in the sky, murderous light spilling in all directions, and roared: "Your foundation is weak, your swordsmanship is nothing special, this sky and earth—"

"Are nothing special!"

"Nothing special!"

Boom!

The Immortal Artifact Son stepped out in one stride, ascending to the highest heavens.

The eighteen bronze war-glaives in its hands had at some unknown moment fused into a single blood-bone great halberd, endless wailing and howling echoing within the halberd, scattering world-destroying soul-sound in all directions—a mere wisp of that sound was enough to erase all living beings of an entire world.

"Die!"

The Immortal Artifact Son growled low.

It exhaled scorching crimson gas, operating its body like a cosmic furnace, without any flourish—just a single halberd-chop that crushed the universe's time, shattered heaven and earth's space, smashing ferociously down toward the blue-robed youth within the Six Paths Star River scroll painting, the strike-point surely being the weakest spot!

As if destined by fate, when the blood-bone great halberd fell, the enemy's weakest point appeared right beneath the halberd's edge!

Boom!

The blood-bone great halberd slammed into the blue-robed youth's sky, which had seemed empty—now countless cracks appeared, revealing an invisible Star River scroll painting, a nascent form of immortal art.

When the blood-bone great halberd descended, the Star River scroll painting caved in layer by layer, collapsed, tore apart—even freezing time was useless.

"Your deduction and computing power..."

Jiang Ding within the Star River scroll painting was also visibly shaken, a gleam of excitement flashing in his eyes.

The opponent before him had suddenly become much stronger, exceeding expectations!

That enhanced power was completely controlled, unified within and without, like a colossal mecha giant with a collective consciousness awakened descending upon heaven and earth—every move and form calculated by a super quantum computer, knowing all in advance, striking with certain hit.

Boom!

Rumble!

In that instant, the blood-bone great halberd slammed down, the entire Star River scroll painting shattered, every frozen scene within it—including the blue-robed youth—torn to pieces; nothing could remain whole before this terrifying monster, all reduced to fine powder.

The cosmic star river churned in turmoil, rules shattered, space ground to powder, plunging into a stretch of chaos.

Amid the chaos,

That blue-robed youth once again vanished without a trace.

Though clearly a blazing, resplendent sun, when it truly fought it was so sinister and shadowy, its figure often impossible to find—its light and the Six Paths concealed everything.

"Running?"

The Immortal Artifact Son smiled contemptuously.

The two lake-sized pupils on its skull covered in bone plates flickered for an instant, instantly locking onto that furtive figure in the sky.

It was painting—painting a chaotic, shattered cosmic artwork, within which a star-sized blood-armored giant stood towering in the star river; the painting was nearly half complete, and the giant seemed once again to have become a figure within the painting.

"Petty tricks!"

The Immortal Artifact Son chopped down with its blood-bone great halberd once more.

This time it did not aim at the blue-robed youth, but at some unremarkable point in the void, blasting that single point to smithereens, reducing it to powder.

Boom!

Rumble!

That unremarkable point triggered a terrifying chain reaction—the Star River scroll painting, nearly half complete, instantly collapsed and could hardly be reassembled.

"Petty tricks! Ugly flesh worm!"

"You worms that destroy the Heavenly Dao..."

The Immortal Artifact Son howled madly.

The self-destructive operation of the Reverse Five Elements Zhou Tian Demon-Refining Furnace granted it terrifying power—at this moment a halberd strike blasted out, sweeping aside everything, smashing down atop the head of the blue-robed youth who had lost all cover of the Star River scroll painting.

In that instant, heaven darkened and earth dimmed, sun and moon lost their light.

The endless puppet Heavenly Dao rule-law net—the Immortal Artifact Son's exclusive Heavenly Dao rule-law net—had already shrouded every stretch of starry sky; there was no longer any place to hide.

"You,"

"Have become better again."

"Hahahaha..."

The Great Sun Sword Son amid the shattered sky and earth laughed heartily.

Clang!

Jiang Ding's smile gradually grew wild; he slowly drew the Tai Qing Flying Sword, held it before him, and let the Tai Qing Flying Sword absorb the power of heaven and earth's sun rules—the sword body grew hazy and indistinct, gradually losing its sword form, and in its place appeared a golden-silk scroll painting wrapped in sun runes, radiating terrifying heat.

"Fellow Daoist Immortal Artifact Son,"

"You have become better, no longer foolish—this is truly wonderful."

Jiang Ding slowly pushed open the golden-silk scroll painting in his hands and growled low: "Therefore, this Sovereign has decided to invite

Fellow Daoist to admire the night sky of this Sovereign's homeland, the sun, moon, and stars of this Sovereign's homeland."

"This Sovereign meditated in stillness for tens of thousands of years, expending tens of thousands of years visualizing and condensing the scene of the countless stars of the homeland!"

"Fellow Daoist, please look at this stretch of sky, and see how it differs from—or resembles—the starry heavens of your homeland!"

Hum!

In the youth's hands, the scroll unfurled slowly. Though it was plainly only an arm's length of golden-threaded scroll, as it rolled and spread open it grew heavy, as if a whole universe-realm were turning, as if Pangu's world were first cleaving apart: the heavy breath of primordial chaos spread in all directions, pressing down upon the cosmic river of stars.

Even the Immortal Weapon Son's self-destructing, violently operating Reverse Five Elements Zhou Heaven Furnace's frenzied killing strikes grew sluggish beneath this aura!

An aura of breaking the Law, destroying the Law, binding all the myriad Daos beneath heaven—as if the dread atmosphere of the Dharma-Ending Age—appeared between heaven and earth, and the spiritual Qi of the entire world fell into sluggishness.

"This…"

"What thing is this…"

A shuddering, terrifying premonition rose in the Immortal Weapon Son's heart.

"This is this lord's sword!"

"This is the Sword-Intent Star Chart this lord spent tens of thousands of years condensing back in the homeland!"

Jiang Ding laughed savagely: "Come! Fellow Daoist! As the first living being ever to lay eyes upon this lord's homeland Sword-Intent Star Chart, what tremendous good fortune has befallen you—come, savor it well!"

"Come on!"

"Savor it well!!!"

Hum!

Just at this moment, this golden-threaded river-of-stars scroll finished unfurling completely, and a stretch of terrifying starry heavens utterly unlike the Immortal-Dao cosmos appeared in this world, blanketing everything.

In this utterly different cosmic starry sky, there existed no sun, no moon.

Or rather, every one of the hundreds of millions of stars was a sun!

Those hundreds of millions of suns in the sky were flickering, unleashing boundless terrifying radiance; every single beam carried auras of breaking the Law, distortion, primordial magnetism, forbidding the Law, and other dreadful qualities—as if born the bane of spiritual-Qi beings; wherever the light shone, all spiritual Qi sank into a sluggish, deathly stillness.

A single thread of such radiance was enough to pierce and slay any foe.

And now, such radiance was without end!

"Ah…"

The Immortal Weapon Son let out a shrill, furious roar.

The terrifying radiance of hundreds of millions of suns enveloped everything above and below, destroying every living being that possessed spirit. The blood-and-bone giant within that cosmic river of stars was plunged into a dreadful solar inferno; beneath the light of this Dharma-Ending Age, layer after layer of his scales, layer after layer of his body, turned to powder, turned to black ash, peeling away stratum by stratum.

He was suffering the Dharma-Ending torment of being sliced by a thousand blades!
