Chapter 2042: The End of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty

Heaven and earth mourned as one!

Boom!

In the rain of blood, the headless Seven Killings Sword Lord knelt toward the direction of the Nine Spirit Domain, his knees shattering the surrounding space. He braced both hands on his sword hilt and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, this subject still has strength left."

"Please take this subject as a death soldier, charge into the allied army of gods and demons, and restore the foundation of the human race!"

He kowtowed, prostrating himself on the ground.

He released all of his own divine soul, exposing it before the many Eighth Tribulation Supreme Beings, allowing the Supremes to leave prohibitions within his divine soul as they wished.

Wuji Sword Lord and the others fell silent.

This too was one of the traditions of the human race's immortal dynasties.

Prisoners who had committed capital crimes would voluntarily become death soldiers, opening the way for the great army, burning themselves, paying with death to carve out a foundation for the human race, and begging the sovereign to pardon their sects and descendants. There had been many precedents in history.

In the end, did the sovereign pardon them?

Most of the time, no—even death could not dispel the sovereign's wrath.

This was the great crime of treason!

In this world, there was hardly any crime more severe than assassinating a sovereign, and such an act would almost instantly draw the malice of every True Immortal.

Even if Seven Killings Sword Lord had successfully assassinated the Supreme Sun Sword True Immortal, should another human True Immortal appear in this star domain in the future—such as the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal—Seven Killings Sword Lord would still have to pay a terrible price.

Even if the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal and the Supreme Sun Sword True Immortal were enemies, she still could not tolerate such a thing happening.

However, such matters were no longer something Wuji Sword Lord and the others needed to worry about.

The True Immortals would handle everything; there was no need for them to overstep their bounds.

From this moment on, the fate of Seven Killings Sword Lord and the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty would rest upon a single thought of the True Immortals. Others had no right to change anything—not even Eighth Tribulation Supreme Beings.

"Seven Killings Divine Dynasty…"

Wuji Sword Lord sighed.

This had been the mortal enemy of the Wuji Qingse Jianzong for countless years, evenly matched, never expecting it would now be destroyed before his very eyes.

Several days later, numerous human Eighth Tribulation Supreme Beings descended upon the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty!

This divine dynasty had flourished for hundreds of millions of years, its immortal palaces and halls spread densely, its killing arrays stern and solemn, painstakingly built by generations of Seven Killings Divine Dynasty ancestors—magnificent and resplendent.

But today, everything met its end.

Ten great human Eighth Tribulation Supreme Beings joined forces to attack, even driving before them a headless Eighth Tribulation powerhouse. They unleashed great divine abilities and easily broke into the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty's grand array, instantly binding and capturing more than ten Seven Killings Divine Dynasty Supreme Beings, a great number of Heaven-Man Unity cultivators, and every registered cultivator of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty.

From newly-entered Qi Refining cultivators at the bottom to Seven Killings Sword Son, Empty Kill Sword Son, and the many Seven Killings Divine Dynasty Supreme Beings at the top—in the previous moment all of them had still been the august and mighty sect powerhouses of an Eighth Tribulation divine dynasty's sacred ground, their status noble, powerhouses among the star domains, their families and sects passed down for countless generations.

But in the next moment, everyone had fallen to become prisoners.

All of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty's cultivators had chains driven through their shoulder blades, bound together in strings, and confined within cage after cage like chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs.

All of the Seven Killings Divine Dynasty's treasure vaults and treasures were sealed away.

The entire Seven Killings Divine Dynasty was destroyed in an instant!

The human race's star domain had only just fallen into calm, and once again sank into turmoil. Many Divine Dao Supreme Beings and Immortal Clan Supreme Beings seized the chance to catch their breath, watching this internal human strife and slaughter closely at every moment.

……

The sudden events left the many star domain prodigies at a loss.

Without warning, Seven Killings Sword Lord had awakened and attacked.

And shortly after, Seven Killings Sword Son, Empty Kill Sword Son, and other Seven Killings Divine Dynasty prodigies were all taken away and became death-row prisoners.

All of these changes came so quickly.

"Everyone,"

"Could we immediately rebuild the planar passage?"

In such circumstances, Yuan, who once again served as the Immortal Gate's governing official, arrived here, cupped his hands in greeting toward the many star domain prodigies, and said.

At this moment, the surroundings seemed to fall silent for an instant.

Countless undercurrents and countless sinister thoughts stirred, and for a time no one responded.

Yuan calmly watched these star domain prodigies.

At this moment, the Immortal Gate's expedition fleet and the hundreds of billions of citizens abroad had fallen into a terrifying life-and-death crisis!

The planar passages connecting the God-Buddha Great Thousand Worlds and the Ancient God World cluster had been severed, contact with the True Immortals had been cut off, and the entire expedition fleet had become a wandering fleet.

If the human sects of the seven great star domains chose to instantly destroy all Immortal Gate citizens and prevent the Immortal Gate from rebuilding the planar passage, then the seven great star domains would once again return to a situation dominated by the human race's Immortal Sects—no longer a sovereign sitting high above, with everyone, including Supreme Beings, crushed until they could barely breathe.

What choice would the many human Immortal Sects make?

"Rebuild the planar passage immediately!"

"Begin at once!"

Wildfire Sword Son said in a deep voice.

"Naturally!"

"We begin at once!"

Zhenjun He Huan Holy Maiden, Wuji Sword Son, Burying Heaven Sword Son, Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Holy Maiden, and many other star domain prodigies immediately said, without a hint of hesitation—at least on the surface, not a single person showed the slightest opposition; all were extremely eager.

Everyone threw themselves into the action of rebuilding the planar passage, without any delay.

But everyone knew that with the planar passage severed, the loss of the True Immortals' influence was enormous.

Many things had become uncertain.

Many conspiracies might already be taking shape.

This period of time would be an extremely dangerous one.

……

Within the Ten Thousand Laws Pivot.

A wisp of Jiang Ding's split soul silently comprehended the various aspects of the Ten Thousand Laws Pivot.

The great artifact of the Human Race, forged by successive Human Emperors, contains highly advanced immortal Dao science and technology; it offers much inspiration for his immortal Dao, so upon awakening from deep slumber, he immediately began keeping a wisp of divine sense stationed here.

Unlike in the past, he dislikes drawing attention, so many Dao Disciples did not notice him, come to pay their respects, and thus disturb his contemplation.

"Your Majesty,"

"Has the plane channel to the Buddha and Gods Great Thousand World been severed now?"

The Fusang Saintess asked softly.

She was not among the Seven Star Domains like Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou, yet she could learn of events there through various means and immediately grasped the extreme gravity of this matter.

A True Immortaless must grow within the fertile soil of a Star Domain!

If a True Immortaless is removed from the various resources and heavenly treasures of a Star Domain and placed in a barren, narrow realm, it is no different from a cage; she would almost lose the possibility of competing and fighting with other True Immortalesses. Even with a bright future, without fertile soil for growth, it is useless.

"Yes."

Jiang Ding nodded and said.

"Will the Human Race Immortal Sects of the Seven Star Domains ruthlessly slaughter your direct sect forces and seal the plane channel?"

"Will they be so extreme?"

The Fusang Saintess asked again.

"I am not certain."

"This possibility exists, but it is very small, because the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou and other Star Domains are not peaceful; they possess numerous God-Path Demon Clan experts. Without us, the Human Race would split again, and there is a possibility of future annihilation."

"Moreover, I am not tyrannical; I have already formed some bonds with the next generation of their sects and hold a certain level of mutual trust."

Jiang Ding pondered for a moment and said.

He believed the probability of such an event occurring was extremely low.

"Then it is possible."

"Now we must wait and see if any accidents occur during the process of rebuilding the plane channel."

The Fusang Saintess spoke somewhat coldly: "Your Majesty, if an accident occurs, you will need to compromise. At the very least, you must marry the Zhenjun He Huan Saintess; it would be best if the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou Saintess does the same. You can also promise to win over the Infinite Qingse Jianzong and the Burial Immortal Sect. If these four sects, possessing Eight Tribulation Supreme combat power, firmly stand by your side, the plane channel can be established."

"The remaining Eight Tribulation Immortal Sects, even if they oppose, will not be so resolute; they will waver between two sides."

"If you feel disgusted by these compromises, then wait until the future to regret and retaliate; after all, Human Race monarchs are always so fickle."
