Chapter 1699: The Ancient God Path's Six Realms of Reincarnation Technology Is Already Outdated

A radiant, brilliant giant hand parted the divine soul world of the Yellow Earth Divine Lord, and like a dimensional strike from the Blue Heaven, it snatched a white and fat grub from within that soul world.

"Squeak squeak..."

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

This white and fat grub struggled madly, instantly employing dozens of divine soul escape techniques; every single one of these divine soul escape techniques was a top-tier achievement of the Ancient God Path's Six Realms of Reincarnation, renowned across the realms for being profound and unfathomable, bizarre and perilous, causing people to turn pale at the mere mention of them.

But now, they were utterly useless.

This white and fat grub remained suspended between two fingers, struggling for a long time without any result, until finally it stopped itself, revealing an expression of fear.

It was not fear of this divine soul projection, but of the future!

The Ancient God Ancestor discovered a fact that was extremely terrifying.

That was, his opponent had already achieved a comprehensive transcendence over him in the technology of the Six Realms of Reincarnation; in merely tens of thousands of years, he had surpassed in every aspect all of the Ancestor's foundational depth in the Six Realms of Reincarnation, the entire accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years!

This fact frightened and made him resentful more than a simple crushing of power ever could.

The Ancient God Ancestor, the strongest genius of this realm for millions or even tens of millions of years, rose from a humble slave to eventually dominate the entire world cluster, making the human race the ruling species of this world cluster; what kind of talent and genius was that?

Unprecedented since ancient times!

The Ancient God Ancestor had always been proud in his heart, looking down on the world.

He believed that if he possessed a legacy above the Heavenly Man, he would surely already be a powerhouse above the Heavenly Man, and would never be trapped in this small world cluster for a lifetime without achieving liberation.

But now, a young swordsman, a naive successor, had completely surpassed and crushed him in the very aspect he was most skilled at in just a few tens of thousands of years!

This feeling made one's whole body shiver with cold.

"You... your luck is better than mine."

This white and fat grub stopped struggling, remained silent for a long time, and said.

He believed this was the reason.

His opponent had obtained a legacy above the Heavenly Man; his luck surpassed mine, but certainly not his talent and genius, as both of us are existences that appear once every tens of millions of years in a world cluster, with no difference.

There are many high-level Immortal Dao mysteries within his opponent's Six Realms of Reincarnation that are difficult for me to identify now; these certainly are not all original.

"Luck?"

Jiang Ding chuckled lowly.

"Yes, it is luck."

"I was born in an Immortal Sect, possessing an entire supporting Immortal Dao research system, growing alongside the Immortal Sect's industrial system; my research efficiency far exceeds that of a single powerhouse, and I had another opportunity, obtaining the Near Immortal legacy; this is my luck."

"But, do you not have luck?"

Jiang Ding stared at this grub: "Do you not have an entire Ancient God Path to support you? Or is there someone within the Ancient God Path restraining you, making you

unable to freely construct the Ancient God Path you desire, and do you not have an opportunity from above the Heavenly Man? Like... that arm."

That arm.

Back in the days at the Hidden Heaven Pavilion, that arm from memory.

Tens of thousands of years have passed; Jiang Ding has now grown much, his power and insight, his Immortal Dao foundation far exceeding the past, but until now, he still cannot fully evaluate what kind of existence that arm is.

He only knows that it must be an arm far surpassing the supreme existences of the Fallen Immortal Realm.

The supreme existences of the Fallen Immortal Realm are very powerful; they can instantly kill the current Great Sun Sword Disciple, but their power has limits, clear limits; the Great Sun Sword Disciple, who possesses the legacy of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, understands this very clearly.

But this arm, it is unknown.

"Arm?"

"You want it?"

The Ancient God Ancestor smiled strangely.

Bang!

In the next moment, the two fingers holding it closed together; countless fluids exploded and shattered, then turned to ash and vanished, interrupting his smile.

"Ridiculous,"

"Just a small fragment of a soul; what kind of secret is not known to this Lord?"

Jiang Ding withdrew his fingers, coldly: "I was idle and spoke a few words with you; do you truly think a small fragment of a soul can converse with this Lord as an equal?"

"Too ignorant."

From the grub fragments shattered into dust, something like a dream emerged.

Within it, the grub's entire life experience flashed by at high speed; memories were forcibly seized, split from the Ancient God Ancestor's divine soul, entered the young Yellow Earth Divine Lord's divine soul, and up to this very moment; all memories were revealed in the finest detail, with nothing able to obstruct them.

The crushing technology of the Six Realms of Reincarnation; this was not empty talk.

A mere fragment of a soul does not even have the possibility of committing suicide in front of the Great Sun Sword Disciple.

Various memories were recorded at high speed.

"The Ancient God Ancestor has already fused with that arm for the most part."

"Still unable to break through to the Heavenly Man."

Jiang Ding swept with his divine sense and said indifferently.

This was inevitable.

To break through to the Heavenly Man, one requires an external environment; at the very least, one needs the heavenly treasures and earthly gems accumulated by more than ten world clusters over hundreds of thousands of years; only then can one barely reach the material foundation for breakthrough; this is the minimum condition.

Is it possible to forcibly bypass this minimum material foundation?

It is feasible.

One only needs to possess an Immortal Dao understanding far exceeding that of a Supreme.

A Supreme can use one portion of power as one portion of power; you can use one portion of spiritual energy as ten portions of a Supreme's spiritual energy; this way, one can lower the material foundation required to break through to the Heavenly Man, just as Jiang Ding broke through the four-step limit with a broken foundation, a difficulty far exceeding that of the Zhenjun He Huan Saintess and others.

The Ancient God Ancestor does not have such an Immortal

Dao foundation.

"In that case,"

"Daoist Ancient God, you're going to die."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

The only unknown was that, within the deduction of the Sword of Extinction-Cause, there existed an extremely faint, nearly invisible thread of cause-and-effect — a thread of cause-and-effect connecting to a place far beyond the realm.

Could there be a surprise in there?

It would be nice if there were.

Clang!

Jiang Ding took out the Taiqing Flying Sword, flicked the blade lightly, and produced a melodious sword-chime.

The sword-chime spread outward like rippling waves, spreading across the entire Imperial Earth Middle Realm; wherever it passed, the world recovered its flow from its frozen state, and all the living beings within the world were restored, their faces revealing blank confusion.

"You, you…"

Jiang Ding's command appeared in the ears of the many Void Refining and Soul Transformation cultivators throughout the world.

These were all beings whose crimes were relatively minor — one could say the main fault did not lie with them, because they were unable to resist the will of the Yellow Earth Divine Lord and his direct-lineage Void Refining True Lords; they could only be considered accomplices.

Besides, the immortal sects had come to this world to cleanse and reform it, not to carry out a great slaughter; the principal offenders had to die, and the rest could be pardoned.

Along with the sound, space rippled and flickered, and many Soul Transformation and Void Refining cultivators of the Ancient God Dao instantly appeared within the Imperial Earth Hall, forcibly restrained and brought here.

In an instant, terror seized their hearts.

Here, the corpses of the Yellow Earth Divine Lord and the many Void Refining True Lords remained.

Amid this blood-soaked scene, a terrifying, luminous, hazy figure gazed at them in silence: "This sovereign requires some people to do certain tasks. Is there anyone among you who is unwilling?"

"We would gladly serve the senior and exert ourselves to the utmost!"

The majority of the Ancient God Dao's Void Refining and Soul Transformation cultivators bowed reverently without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, a small number of Ancient God Dao cultivators hesitated — some deliberated at length, some sat waiting for the other side to name a price, and others were held back by various other reasons.

Clang!

A resplendent sword qi blossomed forth.

The heads of those Ancient God Dao Void Refining and Soul Transformation cultivators who were still thinking over many matters snapped apart, blood scattered through the air, and their bodies crashed to the ground, merging with the many corpses that had long since gone cold upon the floor.

Now, everyone here was a cultivator willing to cooperate.
