Chapter 1764: Please, Resist With All Your Might

"You mongrel bastard!"

"Scum!"

Rain Master saw the truth, his eyes went red, and he burst out cursing: "You, a Human Sword Child, an existence like a Divine Child, you infiltrated the Punishment Heaven Dao Court just to kill Laozi?"

"Are you insane?"

"Huh?"

His heart was filled with despair, his fury driving him half-mad.

Even though Human sword cultivators had always been known as sword madmen, this kind of madman he had never so much as heard of, let alone seen.

To infiltrate alone the heart of a Supreme faction, just to slay a Heavenly Being realm enemy — it was simply beyond reason!

What was even more beyond reason was that this person was himself.

"Three swords."

"You will fall."

"Yu Zidao, a filthy Heaven-Swallowing Toad."

The Great Sun Sword Child said coolly: "This is a supreme glory, a glory you have never been worthy to receive."

"But this sovereign has still decided to bestow it upon you, because this sovereign needs you to be neither dead nor alive, and even more needs to use you as a template to assess the combat power of the Punishment Heaven Dao Court's Divine Child."

"So, come — resist with all your might, attempt suicide with all your might."

"Bloom your divine Dao wisdom for this sovereign."

Clang!

The sword was fully unsheathed.

Boom!

A terrifying Law-Destroying Sun slowly rose behind the blue-clad youth, blooming boundless Law-Destroying radiance into the Sea of Consciousness, while phenomena of the Dharma-Ending Age appeared one after another — the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings, falling stars, a dimming cosmos, the perishing of all living souls — and shrouded the entire world.

This Law-Destroying Sun, magnificent and majestic, pressed down upon Rain Master to suppress him.

This was no sword art, nor any sword strike accumulated over thousands or tens of thousands of years—it was simply an ordinary sword, a slash drawn from its sheath.

Within this sword was condensed the lifelong crystallization of sword-Dao wisdom from a Fourth-Step Limit Dao Child: sword intent, sword-light differentiation, sword Qi thunder-sound, refining swords into silk, indestructibility, sword realm, heavenly sword, and a sword-Dao realm drawing ever closer to the Eighth Realm, the Sword of Dao — every strand of sword-Dao foundation condensed into one sword, condensed into a Ninth-Grade top-quality sword embryo, and brought down.

Terrifying destruction, endless icy death, were reflected in Rain Master's enormous pupils, making his body tremble without cease.

This sword — fail to receive it and you die!

To die?

To give up over a hundred thousand years of carefree pleasure, and die here and now?!

"Kill!"

"Kill you, you mongrel bastard!"

Rain Master's hatred drove him to madness.

"Roar!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Toad's massive maw bellowed into the air; on its body countless star-like pustules flickered with radiance, runic symbols of water-element rules spread out in all directions, and divine registers were invoked, forcibly creating a Nine Heavens Silver River within the Sea of Consciousness, transforming into towering waves that shook the world — and at last it broke free of the terrifying Law-Destroying

sword-intent's binding.

"Kill!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Toad's furious roar became a battle banner, summoning the Nine Heavens Silver River to crash down with a thunderous roar; from within the river three thousand shuttle-shaped silver fish shot forth, each silver fish the materialized authority of water-element rules — the perfect mapping of water-element rules upon sharpness and cutting.

This was the authority of a divine Dao divine register!

The Nine Heavens Silver River thundered toward the Law-Destroying Sun in the sky to slay it; its application of rules was exquisitely subtle, carrying the inherited memories of Rain Master's divine office passed down through generations — an almost all-around crushing of any single mediocre being in rule comprehension, power, and technique. This was the advantage of the divine Dao: long inheritance, accumulated generation after generation.

All of this was not for killing the enemy, but only for breaking the blockade and transmitting even a sliver of divine-sense information to the Dao Court outside!

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Law-Destroying Sun and the Nine Heavens Silver River collided in an instant.

Sizzle…

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any stalemate or blockage.

That terrifying descent of Law-Destroying caused the entire Nine Heavens Silver River to suddenly stiffen, freeze solid; then countless pitch-black sword scars appeared upon the river, and a single pitch-black sword scar appeared upon each of the three thousand silver fish.

Rip!

A sound like cloth tearing — the entire Nine Heavens Silver River split apart, crumbled into countless fragments, and was utterly severed of its spirituality; the water-element gods' immortality and rebirth within water was an outright joke beneath such a sword.

"Puh!"

Rain Master's arts backfired; as if struck by lightning he retreated violently, slammed hard onto the ground, and vomited blood without cease.

His all-out attack was nothing but a joke — like a wooden stick in the hands of a feeble child.

This was the Dao Child of the Human race, overlord of the endless starry sky.

This being was of the same species as the ordinary mortals of the Gods-and-Buddhas Great Thousand World, yet so utterly different — one could not imagine they were of the same kind.

"Feeding upon my Human race,"

"deliberately manufacturing countless human tragedies,"

"haggling over every grain, toying with and stripping your kin of all their hard-won gains, and finally even collecting their divine souls… is this what you gods are?"

The Great Sun Sword Child said coolly: "This sovereign had thought that such beings must naturally deserve death, yet must possess a matching great power and great creativity."

"Now it seems — too rigid."

"Like a preset program, far too lacking in initiative — how could such a path achieve immortality?"

His voice betrayed some disappointment, some anger, some manic killing intent, then returned to calm: "Every god guilty of such sins must die; this sovereign will not pardon a single god."

Clang!

Another sword fell.

The Law-Destroying Sun rose from the Dharma-Ending Age's phenomena, descended upon the world, bringing apocalypse to the gods, causing ten thousand paths of incense to collapse and perish with it.

"Second

sword."

The terrifying Sword Intent of Law Destruction seeped bit by bit into the god's divine soul.

"No!"

"No, no!"

An indescribable terror rose in Rain Master's heart.

He felt that some unknown power was merging with his divine soul, slowly changing him, making it so that he could now barely even entertain the thought of suicide; many parts of his Sea of Consciousness had developed wills of their own, no longer obeying his consciousness, and a massive bloody maw was devouring him.

This is — the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

The Six Paths of Reincarnation oriented toward reincarnation and devouring originated from the Ancient God Patriarch and the authority of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and was later pushed to even greater heights by the Great Sun Sword Son and Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, used to invade the divine souls of powerful beings from foreign realms.

Rain Master, trembling somewhat, had a premonition that he was ceasing to be himself.

This frightened him.

"Rain!"

"Rainfall! Rain of All Realms!"

In such a desperate situation, Rain Master ignited his divine soul and erupted; countless streams of starlight gathered behind him, transforming into a star chart that shimmered with radiance.

This was precisely the star chart of all worlds controlled by the Heavenly Punishment Dao Court of the Great Thousand World of Gods and Buddhas!

This was the manifestation formed by the authority of rainfall over these worlds, representing certain essential things within the Heavenly Dao; boundless spiritual light generated raindrops that pattered down, sprinkling toward the blue-robed youth in the sky.

"Not bad."

"It has a hint of the immortal art of summoning rain."

Jiang Ding said calmly, "Gods are indeed the escaped slaves of the ancient human race's powerful cultivators; your arts carry the strong style of those inheritances… but they are far inferior to true immortal art inheritances."

"Nothing new."

"The Dao of Gods is far too lacking in creativity."

He sighed.

The sky.

Countless raindrops fell — this was an attack condensed from the authority of rainfall over numerous worlds, powerful enough to match the joint strike of at least ten peak Heavenly Human cultivators, even capable of fighting on equal terms with a Dao Son of the human Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, exchanging several blows with a Fourth Step Dao Son without victory or defeat — its might was terrifying.

But when the Law-Destroying Sun descended, the raindrops filling the sky instantly froze solid.

Then, they crumbled into ash, utterly vaporized into nothing.
