Chapter 1777: Sword Annihilates Three Billion Divine Soldiers

The Future Buddha Son and the Xing Tian Divine Son had fled.

In an instant they escaped and vanished, displaying an exquisitely marvelous fleeing art.

In that same instant, golden light blazed from all four directions, layered with shadows of figures, as one after another golden-armored divine soldiers revealed their forms—vast in number, densely packed, at least over a billion, their auras immensely heavy.

The Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord of the Xing Tian Dao Court, the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Five Qi Water Virtue Star Lord, and the Plague Heaven Star Lord!

These three great Star Lords each led a billion divine soldiers lying in ambush nearby, all for the purpose of setting a trap to capture the foreign enemy who had disrupted the Heaven Sacrificing Rite.

They never expected the fish to truly be hooked.

Yet it was not a fish, but an ancient primordial giant crocodile!

That blue-robed youth stood with his hands behind his back, quietly towering in the sky.

An invisible yet terrifying pressure spread outward in all directions, as if facing a primordial beast at the very top of the food chain; even Celestial Being peak divine beings could not help but tremble, their divine souls utterly chilled and frozen.

"Blasphemer!"

"Must be slain!"

The Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord shouted furiously.

He commanded his billion-strong Dao Court divine army, gathering boundless incense faith power, pouring it into a jade ruyi, and even connecting to the authority of weapons in the starry sky, condensing into countless divine weapons—swords, spears, halberds, axes, battle-axes—and shooting them toward the blue-robed youth; the boundless killing aura of weapons blotted out the sky.

The Gouchen Upper Palace, in charge of over half the weapon authority of the great thousand worlds of gods and buddhas!

The billion divine soldiers under his command were elite forces personally refined by the Dao Court through countless battles, having participated in many Endless Starry Sky battlefields—the garrison army of the Xing Tian Dao Court.

Compared to this Gouchen divine army, the so-called Great Tu Dynasty's Fortune Army wasn't even fit to carry its shoes; any ten thousand of them sent out could utterly crush those weakling dynasty armies.

"Slay!"

"Must be slain!"

The instant the Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord struck, the Five Virtue Water Qi Star Lord likewise led his billion divine generals to attack.

A waterfall of Tianhe descended from the heavens, as if coming from the Nine Heavens; countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals clad in deep blue armor each wielded weapons, shouting as they charged to kill the blue-robed youth; endless Water Dao world-rule law nets spread throughout the four directions of heaven and earth.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Plague Heaven Star Lord and his billion Plague Division divine soldiers waved their banners, gathering countless blue-green and gray-black mists, emanating thick curses, plagues, and diseases born of mortal incense faith; the mists surged like tides, instantly shrouding the blue-robed youth, cursing him with weakness, disease, and withered blood and bone.

Within the Plague Division divine army, a giant straw effigy of the blue-robed youth immediately rose up; countless Plague Division divine soldiers chanted in unison, each holding sacrificial divine Dao ritual implements and dancing wildly; curse after curse, solid and tangible, wound around the straw effigy like threads, burrowing deep into its bones and blood.

In an instant, the three great Xing Tian Dao Court Star Lords and their three billion divine soldiers had already completely

surrounded the blue-robed youth!

The momentum of the divine Dao army instantly broke through Celestial Being peak, drawing closer to the limit above; even dozens of Celestial Beings here would have to submit to judgment!

"Hahaha!"

"Interesting."

The Great Sun Sword Son smiled faintly, glancing at his surroundings.

Endless resentment, curses, plagues, and diseases appeared around his body and divine soul, clinging like bone-deep ulcers, trying to burrow into his divine soul to make him weak and die of disease.

The Tianhe Water Division divine army brought overwhelming frontal pressure, while the Weapon Gouchen divine army focused on breakthrough; the three great divine armies coordinated with each other—surely they could surround and kill even an ordinary great-thousand-world Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong Dao Son.

Indeed, quite a fine trick.

"You ants,"

"have disgraced the names of Gouchen, Water Virtue Star Lord, and Plague God!"

Jiang Ding's smile appeared for an instant, then swiftly turned cold.

He placed his hand on the sword hilt at his waist.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword left its sheath.

The instant she left the sheath, the four directions of heaven and earth froze; the Sword Dao pressure surged mightily outward in all directions, sweeping past the Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord, the Five Qi Water Virtue Star Lord, and the Plague Heaven Star Lord, and all the divine soldiers under their command.

"No!"

"No, no…"

The three gods of the Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord revealed utter terror.

They understood in an instant, madly burning their divine Dao cores to struggle, their auras instantly surging several times over, resisting frantically.

Yet it was utterly useless.

The Sword Dao pressure spread to the sea of weapon clouds, freezing the countless incense faith weapon shadows filling the sky.

The Sword Dao pressure spread to the Water Division divine army, freezing the Tianhe and the billion shrimp soldiers and crab generals in their deep blue armor.

The Sword Dao pressure spread to the Plague Division's billion divine soldiers, freezing the countless mists of disease and plague, freezing the massive curse straw effigy.

"Run!"

"Death is certain! Completely useless!"

The Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord, the Five Qi Water Virtue Star Lord, and the Plague Heaven Star Lord revealed utter terror, fleeing madly into the distance.

They struggled, and the only result was that they escaped one step.

Then they froze on the spot.

A wondrous scene appeared in this vast starry sky.

A vivid painting scroll appeared between heaven and earth, within which the three divisions of divine soldiers snarled and roared, the three great Xing Tian Dao Court Star Lords' faces showed terror, howling, and mid-stride flight—every detail rendered in lifelike clarity, containing within it the mysteries of divine Dao and heaven-and-earth authority.

This was a painting scroll that had frozen heaven and earth and the river of stars.

Clang!

Within this painting scroll, a sword light resembling the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou stars flickered once.

This sword light flickered once—flickering on the brow of the Gouchen Upper Palace Star Lord, flickering on the brows of the Five Virtue Water Qi Star Lord and the Plague Heaven Star Lord, and flickering

on the brows of the three divisions' three billion divine soldiers.

On this star river scroll, a pitch-black crack appeared on the brow of every divine being.

Not a single pitch-black sword scar missed, not a single one struck empty air—the Sword Light Differentiation, this humble first realm of the sword Dao, in the hands of the Sword Child of the Sword Dao, precisely split into three billion sword Qi!

Heaven and earth fell silent for an instant.

The next moment,

Bang!

The faint sound of porcelain shattering.

Beginning from the lowest-ranked divine soldiers, the divine soldiers shattered; the higher-ranking camp-commander divine beings shattered; the collapse spread like snowflakes, spreading to every place, spreading to the bodies of the three great Star Lords.

A stretch of collapsing spiritual light like clouds and mist, splendid and magnificent.

Beneath a single sword,

The three Star Lords and their three units of three billion divine soldiers of the Heaven-Punishment Dao Court were utterly annihilated!

This was the Immortal Dao Crown Prince of the human race, the Hegemon of the Endless Starry Skies, the Sword Child of the human race—one person, one sword, roaming the world, suppressing an entire stretch of starry sky.

The clamoring divine ants were gone.

This stretch of starry sky was much cleaner and clearer.

"How beautiful…"

"Although they're just a bunch of divine ants, there are quite a lot of them, aren't there?"

"This Sovereign is very happy."

Jiang Ding quietly admired the sight.

He quietly admired, quietly admired, until a flash of Lei Ting on the horizon, a radiance illuminating all, two streaks of extreme-speed escape light surpassing the peak of Heaven and Man flew from afar, once again arriving before him.

"No!"

"Impossible!"

The Heaven-Punishment Divine Child shrieked involuntarily.

He had clearly been running toward the Dao Court!

As long as he reached the Dao Court, as long as he hid within the Dao Court's grand formation, even a Supreme Being could not breach it—absolutely safe!

"Beast!"

The Future Buddha Child's face darkened.

The radiance on his body bloomed continuously, his body swelled continuously, colliding again and again, and soon he transformed into a towering Vajra Buddha, holding a gleaming Vajra staff.

"Ants, what are you running for?"

"What's there to run from?"

Jiang Ding slowly drew his long sword, the happiness on his face gradually twisting into a ferocious grin: "The karma, space, and rules of this stretch of sky have already been jointly sealed by the Law-Destroying Diaphragm, the Great Sun Heavenly Palace, and the Human Dao's fortune, cutting off inside from outside."

"You two ridiculous ants—where could you possibly run?"

"Come, obediently let This Sovereign beat you to death."

"This is the supreme blessing you've cultivated across eight lifetimes!"

Boom!

A terrifying Law-Destroying Sun slowly rose, illuminating the heavens, earth, and star river.

Beams of Law-Destroying light pierced the world like sharp swords, piercing through the web of incense faith, piercing through the Lei Ting and the Buddha of radiance, dominating over eighty percent of the rules and spiritual energy in this stretch of

heaven and earth, suppressing the two great Divine Child and Buddha Child into a narrow, cramped corner, as Law-Destroying radiance enveloped everything.
