Chapter 1779: The Two-Dimensional Sword of the Human Sovereign

The Future Buddha's son chanted scriptures within the Buddha realm.

He seemed not to stand upon a battlefield steeped in killing intent and icy cold, but within a quiet, ethereal Buddha hall, chanting the Buddhist scripture the Diamond Sutra.

With every verse he chanted, a section of his Buddha-bone snapped, and a pool of his Buddha-blood spilled forth.

The golden Buddha-bone and Buddha-blood that spilled out formed Sanskrit characters spreading toward the four directions, layer upon layer of worlds shielding heaven and earth, the true meaning of the Buddhist saying "one flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi" displayed with vivid perfection.

He clearly stood within this stretch of cosmic star river, yet also seemed utterly transcended, myriad karmic killing intents unable to touch his body.

The supreme secret art of the Great Sun Tathagata Future Buddha — the Twin-Realm Vajra Womb Array!

As these scriptures were chanted, the Buddha's son was shielded by myriad layers of worlds, all dharma unable to touch his body; he seemed close at hand, yet in truth stood beyond infinite worlds!

Within the cosmos, a star-river scroll like a pillar of heaven unfurled.

Within the scroll, the star river froze, time vanished, and three-dimensional solid things were transforming into two-dimensional things, unstoppable.

But when this force that froze all things reached the Twin-Realm Vajra Womb Array, a violent clash erupted; bright spiritual light flickered unsteadily, space now and then returning to solid three dimensions, now and then becoming flat two dimensions, alternating and shifting ceaselessly, locked in stalemate.

The Great Sun Sword Child's sword of spatial annihilation was blocked for the first time!

The embryonic quasi-immortal sword art that forcibly dragged three dimensions down into two was blocked by a supreme Buddhist inheritance!

"Ha ha!"

"Good, good, good, Fellow Daoist of the Future — you are no longer an ant!"

Jiang Ding watched, his eyes shining bright, and said in extreme excitement: "Earlier this Sovereign was far too discourteous; I ask Fellow Daoist not to take it too much amiss."

No one answered his apology.

"Kill!"

The Execution-Heaven Divine Son roared in a low voice.

Before this once-in-a-millennium precious battle opportunity, the Execution-Heaven Divine Son too went mad; without hesitation he split open his own divine body, split open his own divine bones and divine blood, countless bones and blood mingled with incense divine power and stacked rapidly, and amid dazzling flashes he erected a Thunder-Light-crackling Mountain-Suppressing Thunder Shenshan.

Hum!

The instant this Thunder Shenshan, built from the divine son's blood and bone, appeared, the turmoil in the cosmic starry sky was smoothed over.

Hundreds of millions of paths of thunder rule converged naturally toward this center, forming the eye of a thunder storm.

A certain nameless authority of heaven and earth appeared within this stretch of starry sky, dominating all, controlling all, even forcibly seizing control of heaven and earth's thunder rules and spiritual energy from the Domain of Law Annihilation; even the star-river scroll could not obstruct it.

The Divine Dao Supreme of the Heavenly Execution Dao Court — his divine name: Demon-Subduing Seven-Treasure Exquisite All-Commanding Thunder Heavenly Soldiers Nation-Protecting People-Sheltering Manifest-Might Mountain-Suppressing Heavenly King!

Thunder and Mountain-Suppression were his authority!

At this moment, this Divine Dao Supreme's divine son, using

his own bones and blood as sacrifice, manifested heaven and earth's authority of thunder from within heaven and earth; in an instant the attack of this Thunder Shenshan became terrifying beyond augmentation, already far exceeding the limit of Heavenly Human peak, swiftly drawing near to the height of a Divine Dao Supreme.

"Thunder!"

"Mountain-Suppression!"

The Execution-Heaven Divine Son roared: "Blasphemer of the gods, die!"

Amid a thunder-like explosive shout, the divine mountain built from the divine son's flesh, blood, and white bone pierced through layer upon layer of star-river scroll in an instant, appearing above the blue-clothed youth's head; the boundless thunder rules of heaven and earth swirled around this Thunder Mountain-Suppression Shenshan, representing heaven and earth's authority — certain to strike, certain to kill!

In an instant,

heaven and earth dimmed.

"You're not bad either,"

"not in vain that this Sovereign lay dormant for six thousand years; you are worth something, Fellow Daoist Execution-Heaven Divine Son."

Jiang Ding looked toward the sky, drooling.

Clang!

This time, the Great Sun Sword Child pressed his hand to the sword hilt, focused his spirit and held his breath, and slashed out one sword.

This sword was unlike any of the sword-lights before it.

A dim light appeared between heaven and earth.

This light took the form of a semi-transparent outline, a hazy, indistinct transparent membrane; this membrane severed all, the perfect union of the Great Dao of Law Annihilation and the Great Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the supreme achievement of a civilization that encompassed many Supreme-level inheritances.

This was the highest technological achievement of the Ancient God Domain — the Law-Annihilating Membrane Technology!

This groundbreaking, heaven-and-earth-shattering technology was never limited to application in concealment alone; it could equally be applied to reducing friction in immortal-gate fleet navigation, cultivating spiritual plants, filtering specific pill poisons during alchemy, and all such matters — the application of top-tier immortal Dao scientific and technological breakthroughs was never so narrow and limited.

One after another, the prodigies and heroes of the Ancient God Domain found their own applications within the Law-Annihilating Membrane Technology.

And for the Great Sun Sword Child, for the one who proposed the Law-Annihilating Membrane Technology project — where lay his sword-Dao application of the Law-Annihilating Membrane Technology?

It lay in this very sword!

Clang!

Amid the ringing clang of sword-song, the Great Sun Sword Child slashed out one sword — transparent, hazy, shaped like a sword-form Law-Annihilating Membrane.

The moment this transparent, hazy sword was slashed out, the entire star-river two-dimensional scroll that had frozen heaven and earth immediately boiled; the scroll twisted, as if a sea-eye had appeared, madly gathering toward the transparent, hazy sword-light, pouring into it, an endless, boundless stream.

In but an instant, this transparent, hazy sword had already become colorful and varied!

Within this sword, one side was carved with sun, moon, and stars, the other with mountains, rivers, and plants. On the sword hilt, one side recorded the arts of farming and animal husbandry, the other the strategy of unifying the four seas.

All the myriad things of heaven and earth were wholly contained within this sword.

This was a two-dimensional sword.

This was a sword that cut through the three-dimensional universe of heaven and earth!

Weapons — how do they cut through all things?

With an edge, with sharpness, with a finer sword-blade slicing matter apart, causing matter to separate — this is the essential principle of cutting; even the great divine powers, the heavens full of gods and Buddhas, follow this principle.

And within heaven and earth, what thing could be finer, what thing sharper, than a sword of two dimensions?

None!

This sword inscribed with sun, moon, and stars, mountains, rivers, and plants emanated an incomparably terrifying sharp-edge aura, naturally meant to cut through all things.

"How does this seem a bit like the Human Sovereign Sword?"

Jiang Ding whispered, discovering a coincidence in the unseen.

Could it be that the supreme artifact of the human race uses the nine-heaven dimensions transcending the world as the blade's sharpness, thus able to cleave through everything?

All these things happened in a single thought.

Whoosh!

The Great Clarity Flying Sword, with the two-dimensional universe star river scroll as its blade, struck out a sword against the Punishment God Son's Thunder Suppressing Mountain Shenshan, and against the Future Buddha Son's Two-World Vajra Womb Great Array unfolded with bone and blood.

With this sword strike, heaven and earth solidified.

The roaring Punishment God Son, the Thunder Suppressing Mountain Shenshan that suppressed all, the Future Buddha Son deep within the myriad worlds of "one flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi," his expression serene and peaceful, the Future Buddha Son chanting sutras, and this world shrouded by the light of the Buddha and the thunder of punishment.

Everything, everything, had solidified.

Sss!

There was only one sound: the sound of a blade cutting through an object.

A beam of sword light of infinite sharpness, born from the two-dimensional world, struck straight out, destroying everything along its path, cleaving through everything, cleaving the Thunder Suppressing Mountain Shenshan, cutting into the infinite worlds of the Two-World Vajra Womb Great Array, and striking the bodies of the Punishment God Son and the Future Buddha Son.

Cleaved straight from the brow to the crotch.
