Chapter 2270

This shattered battlefield in the starry sky finally fell silent.

All the survivors were gasping for breath, each bearing the expression of one who had escaped calamity, grateful to have survived this terrible day.

The once glorious and magnificent Six Paths Imperial Heaven had now collapsed and fallen, leaving only ruins.

Amid the layered encirclement of warships, military formations, and killing arrays, a massive corpse plummeted from the heavens, crashing violently between the rivers of stars, as the one-time overlord of the Boundless Starry Sky fell to the mortal realm; all its former sacred splendor now lay trampled beneath soldiers' feet, no different from dust.

All the cultivators of the Dao Court could not help but gaze upon this fallen overlord.

This was a towering being emanating an aura of transcendence.

He resembled a cerulean butterfly, his body as vast as a star, each scale exuding a terrifying aura—the breath of a apex predator in the food chain; even in death, with only his corpse remaining, everyone present could not help but feel a tremor in their hearts.

Beside this transcendent corpse, a six-layered heavenly earth ring emerged from the void, entwined with an immortal talisman.

This was the transcendent being that caused the vast majority of Dao Court sword cultivators to die in battle, and over thirty percent of Dao Court law cultivators to perish in formation!

A true immortal child, fallen here in battle!

Besieged and slain to death by a group of Dao soldiers!

This was an unprecedented feat in this era, causing many Dao Court powerhouses present to have their spirits surge, unable to contain their excitement.

"Not right!"

"Blood rain, where is the blood rain..."

Suddenly, the hearts of Bei Dou Zun Di, He Huan Zun Di, and others trembled.

Upon hearing this, many were seized by great fear.

When a true immortal child falls, blood rain must descend from heaven!

This is the great Dao law of the Boundless Starry Sky: a true immortal child is an embodiment of a great Dao, holding its authority; when such a being falls, the heavenly Dao of the Boundless Starry Sky must temporarily falter, triggering celestial omens—blood rain pouring down, symbolizing the sorrow of heaven and earth, a law repeatedly verified across ages.

Yet now, this law has not manifested!

This cannot but cause people to feel a chill.

Has the Six Paths Reincarnation True Immortal Child not died?

Where has he gone?

In whose soul does he lie dormant?

All these speculations left many Dao Court powerhouses with an inexplicable unease, their souls on alert.

At this moment, an irresistible sense of powerlessness arose in the hearts of Bei Dou Zun Di and other top talents of the Boundless Starry Sky.

To draw with the true immortal child, to defeat the true immortal child, to slay the true immortal child!

These are three entirely different levels.

Like these Dao soldiers, they could defeat the true immortal child, but to slay him was exceedingly difficult, for the true immortal child possesses a transcendent essence, hard to kill; even if slain by mortal beings, after a time he would revive again, undying and indestructible.

When the true immortal child revives from the heavenly Dao, those once-powerful dynastic forces will inevitably face a devastating blow.

And what of the Supreme Sun Sword Immortal Child?

Does he truly ignore everything, even if a true immortal child escapes before his very eyes?

Many Zun Di of the Dao Court feel uneasy in their hearts.

"Everyone,"

"Transmit the Sword Lord's command."

Gong Caiyu, who commanded the Tushan maidens, had remained unnoticed on the battlefield, lacking presence, supporting whoever led the expeditionary army; now she suddenly came to the battlefield's center, drew forth a sword edict, and proclaimed to the many Zun Di.

Swish!

Instantly, all cultivators on the battlefield stood ramrod straight, their heads slightly bowed.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoists, on your victory."

"... Casualties are immense, this lord grieves deeply... After all matters are settled, when we return to court, reorganize, accept rewards, the Dao Court will not forget your merits."

Gong Caiyu finished reading, then looked toward everyone.

"Yes!"

"Sword Lord!"

All Dao Court cultivators on the battlefield shouted in unison.

No one now worried about the matter of the Six Paths Reincarnation True Immortal Child.

Dao Court cultivators began clearing the battlefield, gathering spoils, storming into the Six Paths Imperial Heaven, breaking the final imperial grand array, imprisoning the various consorts and imperial princes and princesses of the Six Paths Reincarnation True Immortal Child within the palace, sealing the treasury, awaiting the arrival of civil officials.

Everything was handled in orderly fashion.

The Dao Court army, rich in experience of starry sky slaughter, began taking charge of all affairs in the Six Paths star domains, clearing out the last resistance in each star domain and each great thousand-world cluster, establishing administrative institutions, planning the production development of this star domain, and so on.

This star domain, which had wandered afar for many years, finally returned to the radiance of humanity.

All these matters took over a thousand years to complete.

The Six Paths star domains were basically pacified, each minor thousand-world completed its cleansing and governance, aside from occasional small-scale rebellions and security incidents, this star domain could already be called Dao Court territory.

This star domain no longer needed so many troops to suppress it; under the order of the Dao Court General Staff, many Dao Court star domain armies and super-elite Dao soldiers began to return.

Bei Dou Star Domain · Supreme Sun Heavenly Palace.

Clear and resonant immortal music played, its rhythm urgent, like the clash of swords and blades on the battlefield.

Now being played is the Dao Court Triumphant Music of the Supreme Sun, "Return of the Supreme Broken Sword," solemn and solemn, resonant and powerful, performed by many powerful sword cultivators, carrying the innate sword Dao immortal melody, enabling listeners to comprehend the Dao, cleansing body and mind, and further soothing the heroes returning from the battlefield, strengthening their souls and sword souls' foundations.

Amid such majestic immortal music, the Dao Court Six Paths Star Domain expeditionary army returned, each holding their heads high and chests out, marching through the Supreme Sun Heavenly Palace to receive the inspection of the Sword Immortal Child.

In the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace.

Jiang Ding and the Fusang Empress jointly gazed upon this victorious returning army, and together bestowed blessings upon them.

This blessing is a variant version of the immortal art, Great Sun Enlightenment Ground, named the Great Sun Fusang Merit Medal, which enhances cultivators' comprehension, allowing them to draw closer to the Nine Heavens.

According to the merit medal's grade, different effects apply; the highest grade, Nine Leaves Merit Medal, makes it somewhat easier for a Zun Di to advance toward the Nine Tribulations Supreme when the time comes.

This blessing is extremely precious and rare; even for the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal, it is so.

Not to mention, the highest-grade merit medal requires adding scales and feathers of true dragons, true phoenixes, and true immortals as catalytic materials, then adding numerous top-tier artificially synthesized pseudo-immortal materials, refined with great effort.

Yet even so, the highest-grade Nine-Leaf Merit Medal can last at most one hundred thousand years.

After one hundred thousand years, the effect of promoting Nine Heavens Dao comprehension will vanish, all Dao patterns will dissipate, leaving only a commemorative metal merit medal entity.

Thus, one can imagine how rare this reward is.

Every qualified quasi-emperor eligible to receive the Nine-Leaf Merit Medal had their eyes turn red instantly, and that bit of resentment in their hearts vanished without a trace.

The Sword Immortal is ruthless.

Yet the Sword Immortal is equally extremely generous, generous to the point of shocking people—this merit reward almost divides over half of a true immortal's foundation!

In this era, aside from the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal, no one has ever bestowed such a heavy reward!
