Chapter 1776: The Foolish Delusions of Two Ants

A four-step limit Sword Son, who waited bitterly and sought for six thousand years for a single sword strike.

What manner of sword strike would this be?

Shattering the heavens with a single blow, a killing strike!

Beneath that sword strike, beneath the surface of those stars, terrifying Sword Intent of Law Destruction instantly surged into the dharma bodies of the two great Divine Sons and Buddha Sons, surged into their divine souls, surged into the cores of their faith, surged into every spiritual being, and in an instant annihilated everything.

"No!"

Boundless terror rose in the heart of the Xing Tian Divine Son.

In an instant, the moment this sword appeared, cold death had already descended, drowning everything, swallowing all light.

He had set up multiple life-preserving trump cards: he could revive from the divine souls of his believers, could revive from the enshrined divine statues, and could even revive from the talismans in the Dao Court—his methods were many and varied.

He treasured his own life immensely; the wondrous methods of the Dao Court were unfathomably mysterious, not something a rootless wild god could imagine.

Yet all of these, in the face of this terrifying sword of Law Destruction, instantly became nothingness.

This sword severed karma, severed space and time, and even blocked the flow of all spiritual beings between heaven and earth, instantly cutting down every contingency he had, leaving not a trace.

Death!

In an instant, death had already descended!

"You are…"

At this final moment of his life, this lofty Divine Son, who treated the human race's living beings as pigs and dogs to devour at will, stared in terror at the figure that had abruptly appeared behind him.

It was a youth in blue robes.

He did not know when he had arrived here; his expression was faint and indifferent.

He seemed to have come for a stroll through the fields, as if that sword strike had been delivered by someone else entirely, having nothing to do with him.

"Sword cultivator!"

"Human Sword Son!"

The handsome Buddha Son with rosy lips and white teeth shrieked sharply in fury.

His frail body rapidly swelled, revealing a vajra-cast metallic Buddha body; his compassionate expression transformed into the wrathful visage of a Wisdom King, and endless fury and terror caused karmic flames to blaze fiercely upon him.

His two arms, like the Hammers of the World, slammed violently toward the blade at his chest, intending to shatter it before it truly reached his body.

He had done this countless times in the past—beneath a single hammer, shattering the flying swords of who knew how many sword cultivators, watching them wail miserably and repent for the sin of blaspheming the gods.

But this time, he was far too slow!

The moment his two vajra arms wreathed in karmic fire were just beginning to rise, the flying sword that had endured and lain in wait for six thousand years had already pierced into his heart, into the heart that was claimed to be indestructible as vajra, imperishable through countless kalpas—piercing into it as easily as stabbing into tofu.

The Future Buddha Son's body stiffened.

Then,

the fleshly bodies of the two great Buddha Sons and Divine Sons were instantly—

swallowed and destroyed by the terrifying Sun Sword of Law Destruction; all spiritual light dispersed, not a drop of vitality remained, every trace of life was extinguished.

Among those of the same rank, beneath a True Immortal Son, who could receive a single sword from the Great Sun Sword Son into their heart and not die?

None!

"Truly,"

"ants."

"Such weak ants."

Jiang Ding sighed softly: "Such ants—ants who have not even reached the four-step limit—yet they could run rampant across this great universe for tens of millions of years, enslaving the human race's living beings, feeding on the human race's living beings for tens of millions of years, wantonly trampling the dignity of the supreme rulers of the endless starry skies, with no one able to restrain them."

"From this, one can see,"

"how many of the human race's living beings in this endless starry sky are deadweights occupying their posts, weak and incompetent."

"Such weak and foolish fellows should be purged one by one by this sovereign, cut down one by one beneath the sword, to return a clean sky to heaven and earth."

"This is this sovereign's destiny!"

Within the icy words, endless greedy desire spread forth, drooling.

This terrifying killing intent made no distinction between friend and foe, spilling over onto every powerful being, saliva nearly flowing out, causing the pupils of the Future Buddha Son and Xing Tian Divine Son, who were shrieking with venomous hatred, to contract sharply.

Boom!

The two men's bodies exploded and shattered.

"Ants,"

"in this world, there are too few living beings who possess honor."

"It is precisely because of you honorless stupid pigs that the world is so complicated, and the path to immortality so distant."

Jiang Ding looked upon this scene without any surprise and said faintly.

Apart from true sword cultivators, every Dao Son and Sword Son carried life-preserving means left behind by Supreme beings; if one could not break through the life-preserving means carefully laid by a Supreme, slaying a Dao Son would be an utter fantasy.

Rumble!

At the instant the Xing Tian Divine Son's body collapsed, boundless rules of thunder manifested across the endless sky—dense and countless, covering every corner of the heavens, dominating all the rules of this realm, with the thunder of punishment seizing control of everything.

This was the limit of the Punishment Thunder branch of the Thunder Rules between heaven and earth!

Within this endless thunder, a terrifying figure emerged, revealing dreadful twin pupils, as heavy divine might spread throughout heaven and earth.

"Who!"

"Who dares to slay this sovereign's Divine Son?!"

The will of the Thunder Supreme was suffocating, crushing the rules of heaven and earth, suppressing all things in the cosmos, so that not even a thread of karma could escape.

Rumble!

At the same time, as the Future Buddha Son's body collapsed, infinite light and infinite divine might manifested between heaven and earth; a hazy vajra shadow crossed through endless future time and descended into this realm, revealing the shadow of an incomparably majestic Light Buddha, its divine might terrifying.

"Enemy of the Buddha!"

"Amitabha—

……」

This Buddha, terrifying and seated within time, let out a low growl.

In the instant the Buddha Child and God Child faced a lethal tribulation, the wills of the two supreme beings of the Divine Dao descended, employing supreme magic power and divine abilities to deduce every past event, swiftly piercing through all traces of cause and effect.

"Master!"

"Father!"

The awakening of the Punishing Heaven God Child and the Future Buddha Child before the wills of their respective supreme beings of the Divine Dao — different forms of address, yet the same hatred, the same ferocity: "Kill him!"

"Kill this human sword-child who has infiltrated our Great Thousand World!"

Such are the Buddha Children and God Children of the Divine Dao — and perhaps this also includes the Dao Child of the Law Cultivation lineage.

They have never needed to face opponents of the same level.

All they ever need is for the enemy to die in the shortest possible time — only this outcome matters.

"Kill him!"

The Future Buddha Child and the Punishing Heaven God Child roared, staring fixedly at the human sword-child who had suddenly appeared.

They discovered that this sword-child's expression was calm, showing no panic whatsoever at the descent of the supreme being's methods, still gazing at the two of them with eyes that looked upon them as prey, as ants — evoking an immense disgust.

"We've lost the initiative!"

"This is the place where the Human Dao's fortune gathers!"

In that very same instant, the expressions of the two supreme beings of the Divine Dao changed wildly, as they deduced the key to the battlefield through great magic power and great divine abilities.

Boom!

Boundless light, boundless heat!

In the instant the two supreme wills used their power to shield the two Buddha Child and God Child, and to expel the lethal Sword Intent of Law Destruction from within their bodies,

an infinitely radiant, infinitely sharp Great Sun Heavenly Palace manifested between heaven and earth!

In an instant, the Rules of the Sun dispersed all wills of the Divine Dao!

When, in a battle between those of the same level,

one side ignores the enemy before them and instead shelters their juniors — what kind of result will that bring?

Rumble!

As if the sun had risen, the ultimate power of a branch of the Rules of the Sun manifested between heaven and earth, giving birth to a terrifying sword-light of infinite brilliance and infinite heat.

This sword-light, bolstered by the dense Human Dao fortune of this place, saw its might rise several tiers in succession, forming a heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating Sword of the Sun.

Boom!

This Sword of the Sun struck toward the wills of the two supreme beings of the Divine Dao; its blazing sword-light directly repelled the wills of the two supreme beings of the Divine Dao, enveloping them entirely with endless sword Qi, allowing not the slightest bit to spill out.

Amidst boundless light, the three supreme wills were locked in a frantic slaughter, locked in an evenly matched struggle.

Yet in the outside world, all was calm.

"Now,"

the Great Sun Sword Child stared at the two God Child and Buddha Child, his voice chillingly cold: "Two ants, do you still have other supreme beings to shelter you?"

"Run!"

"Run at once!"

The Future Buddha Child and the Punishing Heaven God Child's eyes nearly split with rage.

Their bodies trembling, without a second thought, they burned all the power within their bodies and fled in two completely different directions — recklessly, vanishing in an instant.

"Foolish."

"Truly the foolish delusions of ants."

Facing all of this, the Great Sun Sword Child said calmly.
