Chapter 1725: Too Weak

The sky of the Upper Qingling Treasure Middle Realm was blanketed by beams of dazzling light!

Beam after beam of Solar Magnetic Destruction Light descended from the starry vault, tearing through the starry sky, piercing through the walls of the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie; not a single beam scattered, every one of them landing squarely on the Lingbao Divine Monarch.

This was the simultaneous salvo of the ten great deep-space fleets' main cannons of the Immortal Gate!

The combined strike of nearly a hundred billion cultivators from all ten army groups of the Immortal Gate, arrayed into military formations; each Solar Magnetic Destruction Light was but a tiny fraction of the formation's attack, the fire of countless ship-guns gathered through tight formations into a single point, the brilliance of the Immortal Gate's most cutting-edge weapons condensed into one point and unleashed.

That single point, like a sun blooming, instantly melted away rules and space; nothing existed anymore.

Even quasi-tier-nine spirit-metal placed here would melt in an instant!

"This…"

Boundless terror enveloped the Lingbao Divine Monarch.

His divine soul was trembling, icy-cold and chilling, unable to even move.

Every instinct of his divine soul was telling him an obvious truth: he, who had long since grown far stronger than his Master back then, did not even possess the qualification to resist under such a terrifying attack.

The moment a single hair touched the Solar Destruction Light, his divine soul would be annihilated; there was no other possibility.

This was the sole sovereign of the contemporary Ancient God world-cluster!

The Lingbao Divine Monarch had already lost all sensation.

Fortunately, the crux of this battle did not lie with him.

"Upper Qingling Treasure Palace!"

A power bloomed from the divine platform between his brows, and the Lingbao Divine Monarch's expression instantly turned wooden.

The nine-layered Lingbao Dao-rings behind him shone brilliantly, born bearing the authority of a certain branch of heaven-and-earth rules; at this moment they connected with heaven and earth, endless rule-power and spiritual energy of heaven and earth converging, generating the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Three Flowers Gather at the Crown!

Layer upon layer of flower-phenomena bloomed; when the final layer unfurled, a pitch-black bronze palace descended, blocking itself before the Lingbao Divine Monarch.

The concentrated cannon-fire of nearly a hundred billion Immortal Gate formation cultivators gathered at one point, landing precisely upon this bronze palace.

Sizzle~

Boom!

Starting from the space where the Lingbao Divine Monarch stood, the space within a radius of several hundred thousand kilometers rapidly expanded, then cracked and cracked again without cease, shattering into tiny fragments; rules collapsed in swathes, and terrifying white light filled everything between heaven and earth.

In an instant, the light dissipated, and the full scene came into the eyes of all beings.

Boom!

Boom-boom!

Like the pounding of a heavy war-drum, the Lingbao Divine Monarch retreated three steps through the void.

His Daoist robe was scorched black and tattered all over, revealing bronze-colored, knotted muscles that looked like prime material for a blacksmith; the bronze palace he had been holding aloft had also changed its appearance.

Originally it had been a bronze-

cast immortal palace, ancient and majestic.

Now the four walls of this palace had contracted toward its four corners; at some unknown moment it had become a towering pitch-black great cauldron, emanating a heavy, oppressive might, with countless unreadable unknown immortal talismans drifting around it, and further ringed on all sides by extreme-position branches of rules.

This pitch-black great cauldron had actually withstood head-on the cannon-fire of the Immortal Gate's ten great deep-space fleets!

The price paid was merely a dent in the cauldron's wall, and three steps back for the Lingbao Divine Monarch who bore it—no more than that.

This was truly terrifying.

A mere Dao-Unification Divine Monarch with shallow foundations, upon receiving the last afterglow of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, had undergone an earth-shaking transformation at once, possessing a fearsome power beyond the peak of Heaven-Man.

"What kind of Dao-soldier is this?"

The spirit of the Upper Qingling Treasure Heavenly Palace, controlling the Lingbao Divine Monarch's body, narrowed its pupils.

With the vast experience and memories formed from inheriting the final thoughts of many supreme beings of the Upper Realm, it could not comprehend at first glance this fearsome and strange Dao-soldier.

A Dao-soldier,

Was it not a servant and subordinate attached to a sect's upper echelons?

Yet this Dao-soldier of the Dongji Demon Sect had actually displayed combat power exceeding that of the Upper Realm's Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao-children!

Was this still a Dao-soldier?

No one answered him.

"Old senior,"

"you don't seem as strong as this sovereign had imagined…"

Amid the layered fleets of the Dongji Demon Sect, a youth in blue robes gazed coldly and slowly drew his sword.

Clang!

When the first inch of blade emerged from the scabbard, the entire river of stars fell silent.

The sound of space shattering, the sound of rules collapsing, the roars of living beings… everything fell utterly silent; only the opening and closing of many beings' mouths remained, natural space breaking apart, all was soundless, all was still, only the sound of the blade leaving the scabbard inch by inch echoing through the cosmic river of stars.

A terrifying Law-Destroying might spread outward in all directions.

This was a Fourth-Step Extreme Dao-child!

A being that existed only in a unified Great Thousand World, walking the Dao of Law-Destruction, comparable to a Fifth-Step Dao-child!

This being had undergone four Nirvanas within Dao-Unification!

What a terrifying existence was this?

When his flying sword fully left its scabbard, the formation might of the Dongji Demon Sect's ten great deep-space fleets suddenly surged; complex formation patterns emerged within the formations, and every Dongji Demon Sect cultivator instantly received a tremendous boost, their strength multiplied several times over, comprehensively amplified manyfold!

A terrifying Law-Destroying sun slowly rose amid the layered steel fleets, its light illuminating all between heaven and earth.

This Law-Destroying light, like billions of star-river sharp swords, shone across the ages; beam after beam pierced through the heavy domain drifting around the bronze great cauldron, riddling it full of holes, so that its control over heaven-and-earth spiritual energy and its dominion over rules became

precarious from this point on, tottering on the brink.

"You… what kind of monster are you?"

The expression of the Lingbao Divine Monarch, possessed by the Upper Qingling Treasure Palace, changed again and again.

Is this an upper realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Child?

Bullshit!

What bullshit upper realm Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Child!

This lifeform of the Dao Merging stage has now surpassed the absolute limits of every Dao Child throughout the ages of the Fallen Immortal Realm, reaching a distant, unknown degree.

This kind of lifeform—

How could it appear near the transmission seed of the Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Sect?

Does it even let people live?

How did that beast Spiritual Treasure Divine Lord survive in the past? Shouldn't he have died long ago, not even his ashes remaining?!

"Senior!"

"Please grant me your instruction!"

The Great Sun Sword Child within the light roared.

Boom!

The Law-Destroying Sun between the star rivers fell!

She fell, carrying boundless radiance, carrying the strange omen of ten thousand Daos collapsing in the Dharma-Ending Age, layer upon layer of hundreds of millions of rays of light, endlessly dazzling, endlessly eye-catching, crashing down upon heaven and earth.

Boom!

Rumble!

The instant the Law-Destroying Sun swayed, the ten great deep-space fleets of the Immortal Gate fired their cannons in unison—hundreds of billions of fleet cannons blasting at once—countless streams of Solar Primordial Magnetic Destruction Divine Light surging forth. They did not scatter, but instead followed around the Law-Destroying Sun, their auras merging into one with it, further enhancing the Law-Destroying Sun's brilliance.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the Immortal Gate fleet and the Great Sun Sword Master's path had further merged!

This round of endlessly resplendent, endlessly sharp Law-Destroying Sun crashed down, completely enveloping the frantically fleeing Spiritual Treasure Divine Lord within it.

Heaven and earth paused.

The next moment—

"No!"

"Damn it…"

A Daoist with bronze skin, hoisting a massive bronze cauldron, had his tendons and bones snapped, his body sent flying backward, vomiting blood without cease, madly fleeing toward the distance.

So utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

This scene was so clean and decisive it was hard to believe.
