Chapter 2040: The Sword Immortal's Ugly Victory

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha…"

Witnessing such a scene, the Seven Kill Sword Lord suddenly burst into wild laughter, as if he had gone mad.

His remaining strength was enough for one more sword strike.

After this one strike, it would be decided whether he lived or died.

Whether he could advance further upon the Immortal Dao, whether the Seven Kill Divine Dynasty would be utterly destroyed, whether his many blood descendants and offspring, the many descendants of his own Master, and everything he cherished would continue to exist in this world henceforth.

Everything, everything, would hinge upon this single sword strike of his.

How interesting would that be?

"Hahaha!"

"Your Majesty,"

"Please behold this old man's final sword. I have practiced the sword for several million years; surely there is still some small measure of talent left in this world. Please, behold this strike."

The Seven Kill Sword Lord's smile faded, and he calmly delivered his final sword strike.

Clang!

The Seven Kill Sword was drawn.

The instant this flying sword, forged from a skull, was drawn, his entire body crumbled into a heap of ash.

In his place, only a bone sword white as jade remained.

This bone sword gleamed with a brilliant whiteness. Boundless bloody light from the Seven Kill constellation in the heavens descended upon it, carrying the Seven Kill Sword Lord's towering killing intent, firmly locking onto its sovereign—the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal who shone with brilliance upon the Dao of Law Destruction!

"This sword strike,"

"is named Seven Kill Shattering the Purple Tenuity Annihilation Formation Melody!"

Between heaven and earth, the aged voice of the Seven Kill Sword Lord howled in frenzy.

Zheng!

Zheng zheng!

The music of a guzheng rose within the starry sky, its rhythm growing ever more urgent, ever more urgent, followed by the sound of great war drums—clearly the great drums of an army. This was the martial music of slaughter in the army, passionate and stirring, accompanied by countless battle cries, the clash of weapons, and countless shrill screams. This was music that existed upon a real battlefield.

Within the hazy, blurred radiance, figure after figure emerged within a resplendent and towering palace.

This was the center of a star domain. Amidst countless terrifying armies, a vague and terrifying existence bore the true meaning of the Sha Po Lang constellation, wielded a Fang Tian painted halberd, and charged into the Emperor's palace wreathed in boundless bloody light, cleaving through layer upon layer of infinite Creation and Destruction grand formations with a single halberd strike, battling the existence within the palace.

This was a scene from history!

In history, there had once been a Sha Po Lang Star Lord who slew his way into the Human Sovereign's dwelling, paying with his own life to leave an indelible, terrifying wound upon the Human Sovereign, directly halving that generation's Human Sovereign's lifespan!

This Sha Po Lang Star Lord's legacy was inscribed within the Human Race's Heavenly Dao!

At this moment, this generation's Sword Lord of the Seven Kill Divine Dynasty burned everything he had, using the authority of his own Great Dao rules as his brush, to deliver once more this glorious sword strike.

Clang!

Within this scroll of history, the Seven Kill Sword forged from a skull was drawn.

Heaven and earth fell silent. This sword strike condensed the Seven Kill rules' Creation into a single point, drawing upon the Nine Heavens' Seven Kill constellation. Nine celestial stars were drawn forth, merging as one with the skull Seven Kill Sword, and bearing this generation's Seven Kill Sword Lord's terrifying killing intent unto death, it slashed toward the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal within the Dao of Law Destruction.

Beneath this sword strike, time froze.

One strike cleaved through layer upon layer of the Law Destruction Dao's stern-as-hell cage, severed the bonds of space, severed time, and even severed the Great Dao itself, descending upon the body of the Dao Sword Immortal.

Boundless death followed in its wake.

Like an absolute dead end, like a hell of certain death, not a single glimmer of hope could be seen.

"The legacy left behind by the Sha Po Lang Star Lord…"

Jiang Ding raised his head.

Clang!

At the very instant the Seven Kill Sword Lord drew his sword, the Taiqing Flying Sword was likewise drawn.

The black-and-white twin pupils of the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul opened wide together at this moment. The laws of the Great Dao manifested one after another across the entire cosmic starry sky, and the boundless Six Paths of Reincarnation took on a substantive outline, suppressing all of heaven and earth.

The Law-Destroying Pupils shattered the ten thousand Daos of heaven and earth!

The Brilliant White Pupils controlled the flow of every spiritual being between heaven and earth!

The cosmos at this moment was so incomparably clear within Jiang Ding's eyes—the flow of spiritual energy and matter, the changes of the Great Dao's rules, and that single sword strike the Seven Kill Sword Lord had unleashed by burning all his sword Dao conviction.

This sword strike was perfect to the extreme—the most glorious strike of an eight-tribulation sword cultivator's entire life, without a single flaw.

However,

Everything was relative.

In the eyes of the Immortal-grade Sword Soul, the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul, it had flaws!

Even if it had none, it would have them!

Jiang Ding's sword soul blazed with unimaginable radiance, scanning the entire starry sky in an instant, comprehending the flow of every particle of matter, every wisp of spiritual energy, and every rule across the entire starry sky.

Then, a thin, jet-black, flickering line appeared within this starry sky.

This thin line flickered unsteadily, constantly shifting its position, as if it would vanish the very next moment.

"Look,"

"This is your weakness, Seven Kill."

Brutal bloody light flashed in Jiang Ding's eyes as he growled in a low voice: "Die for this Sovereign!"

"Die!"

Rumble!

The Taiqing Flying Sword was drawn amidst a thunderous rumble.

The blade transformed into a droplet of gloom. The branch of the Law Destruction Great Dao's rule-authority had almost completely merged with this tiny droplet, instantly nullifying all external influence, all external resistance—beyond the Three Realms, beyond the Five Elements, utterly transcending the mortal world.

Utterly, without a shred of resistance!

Boom!

The Great Clarity Flying Sword cycled through the Six Realms of Reincarnation one hundred and eight thousand times in an instant, traversing an indescribably vast distance; its speed accelerated to the extreme in an ideal space-time without any resistance, even surpassing the propagation speed limit of the rules, and had already flown out before the rules could propagate and arrive.

This dim water drop pierced through everything, its speed reaching the extreme of the human world, and fell upon the Seven Killings Sword Master's sword strike that burned all.

The two touched lightly.

Boom!

In silence, everything within a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers was instantly annihilated.

Spiritual Qi, space, rules, cause and effect, aura—nothing whatsoever remained; the Great Dao became empty, and everything turned into the chaotic state before Pangu opened the heavens and separated the earth.

Everything vanished.

No one could see what happened there.

Who won?

What was the result?

Ding!

Accompanied by a sharp metallic clashing sound, a dim water drop shattered, exploding into countless mists; a black-gold flying sword with a deep crater indented in it wailed as it was blasted away, flying toward the distance, its sword body extremely dim, having lost its terrifying pressure, like a stone commonly seen by the roadside.

The Great Clarity Flying Sword was utterly defeated in a direct offensive clash!

Her opponent, the Seven Killings Sword Master, had also shattered the bone sword formed by burning all; its material was far inferior to the Great Clarity Flying Sword, yet a sword tip retained part of its power and, like a blood-red calamity star, rushed to kill the green-robed youth, advancing without retreat, facing death without life, extremely tragic.

"Kill!"

"Die! Die, die, die..."

The final will of the Seven Killings Sword Master roared and screamed, completely devoid of any extraneous thoughts, possessing only pure, extreme killing intent.

Regicide has never had any way back!

Boom!

The tip of the Seven Killings Bone Sword reached the green-robed youth's head, touching something substantial.

This is the Six Realms of Reincarnation Sword Domain!

Outside the fragile body of a sword cultivator's Cui Ruo De Fa, the sword domain exists; within a square inch are countless overlapping Six Realms of Reincarnation; though seemingly within arm's reach, in reality, even a Heavenly Immortal cultivator flying for a lifetime could not approach even a fraction; this is the infinite Six Realms of Reincarnation.

However, before the tip of this Seven Killings Bone Sword, this nearly infinite Six Realms of Reincarnation shattered!

It could not be blocked!

Boom!

The green-robed youth's head was blasted open directly by the sword tip, with countless chunks of flesh and bone splattering everywhere!

"Did it succeed?"

The sword tip formed by the final will of the Seven Killings Sword Master erupted with wild ecstasy, its Dao Heart trembling as if boiling, but soon it turned into a roar of shock and rage: "Die!"

"You damn cunning bastard!"

In the distance, at the horizon, a green-robed youth, much weaker and smaller, fled rapidly toward the far distance; his speed reached the extreme, and in an instant he had already vanished.

"Kill!"

"Die for me!"

The sword tip formed by the Seven Killings Sword Master rushed out again, arriving in an instant, and once more blasted the green-robed youth's body apart; this time he felt no joy, and his Dao Heart did not lose control.

In the distance, another green-robed youth appeared, fleeing even faster.

"Die!"

Boom!

Flesh and blood splattered everywhere!

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The bone sword tip flashed again and again, blasting the green-robed youth's body apart again and again, with flesh and blood splattering everywhere, but each time it was an illusory shadow.

The opponent's ability to flee was simply unimaginable!

Each time it failed to strike the true body; his fleeing ability was as outstanding as his offensive ability.

Just like this, the green-robed youth was blasted apart thirty-two times in a row.

Then, he stopped, standing with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the blood-bone sword tip shooting from the distance.

Ding!

This final strike of the Seven Killings Sword Master, formed by burning all, fell upon the Great Clarity Flying Sword, was forcibly blocked outside by the weak and dim Great Clarity Flying Sword, and no longer possessed the terrifying pressure of being invincible; its entire power had been exhausted in the repeated blasting.

The blood-bone sword tip stopped.

From within it, the figure of the Seven Killings Sword Master emerged; this figure was dissipating, about to have both soul and spirit extinguished.

"Defeated."

"This True Body is defeated, defeated..."

The Seven Killings Sword Master showed a look of sorrow and guilt.

This was sorrow for his own death, and guilt toward his sect, his master, and the ancestral masters of past generations.

He said nothing more; his body collapsed and scattered, dying completely.
