Chapter 2307

The contemporary supreme human emperor's sword, accumulated with countless powers from a higher dimension beyond the Nine Heavens!

Unifying the three realms, the three great Dao each transformed into meridians, flesh, bones, and scales, forming the Nine Heavens Celestial Dragon!

Both are crystallizations of immortal Dao scientific wisdom, supreme in their respective directions within the boundless starry sky of this era, condensing the glory and paths of countless beings; countless races and powerful deities have placed their unwavering belief in victory upon them, and they must not lose, for defeat means annihilation of self and clan.

Two terrifying attacks met within the Nine Heavens; even before contact, an inexplicable creaking sound arose, as something of fundamental nature was being destroyed.

This is a contest of height and status within the Nine Heavens!

Between the two-dimensional heavenly sword and the lustrous white Nine Heavens Celestial Dragon, an inexplicable distortion occurred, a violent clash where Dao, causality, and flesh were all being destroyed.

"Roar!"

"Roar roar roar……clang clang……"

The Celestial Dragon roared, the clear sword cry intermittently echoed from within the Nine Heavens; even the faintest sound, when it reached the boundless starry sky, was clearly audible, and even the slightest vibration from within would trigger howling gales across the boundless starry sky, stirring the star rivers and causing the coordinates of countless worlds to shift.

This is the Nine Heavens, the higher-dimensional Nine Heavens, the higher-status Nine Heavens!

Anything occurring within the Nine Heavens can influence the boundless starry sky through unimaginable processes; the Nine Heavens is of utmost importance, which is why the slaughter of the four true immortals began within the Nine Heavens—whoever controls the Nine Heavens gains absolute advantage and lays the foundation for victory in the battle.

The slaughter within the Nine Heavens continued for an unknown duration, as the mist gradually dissipated.

A pitiful Nine Heavens Celestial Dragon appeared before the eyes of many cultivators.

The dragon's claws were severed at two points, the breaks jagged, dragon blood trickling out; across its majestic body, crisscrossing wounds marred its crystalline, translucent scales, which were largely shed, exposing mangled flesh.

Yet these were not the most grievous wounds.

The most terrifying wound appeared atop the Celestial Dragon's head: its antler-like dragon head had been pierced frontally by a two-dimensional heavenly sword, the blade penetrating the skull and deeply embedding into the dragon's head, causing the frantically struggling beast's body to instantly stiffen.

"They……"

"Have they lost?"

The Great Sun Yang Mang Sword Emperor and other emperor-level beings held their breath, murmuring to themselves.

Boom—

Boom boom boom……

A terrifying explosion erupted within the Nine Heavens, causing spatial shattering even at the height where the Nine Heavens resided, Daoist chaos, and horrifying anomalies as numerous rules fell into disorder.

Amid layer upon layer of destructive anomalies, the figures of the three true immortals emerged from within, fleeing in frenzy; the central destruction node caused by the two-dimensional heavenly sword violently severed their connection to the Nine Heavens Celestial Dragon.

The situation of the three true immortals now is extremely miserable.

The Myriad Laws True Immortal bore the brunt of the attack; her beautiful, holy face was nearly cleaved in two, her skull nearly pierced, vast amounts of immortal blood flowing out, and a hair-thin terrifying crack appeared on her natal treasure, the Myriad Laws Xuanqiong Imperial Seal—unbelievable to behold.

The Myriad Laws Xuanqiong Imperial Seal, a treasure embryo personally forged by an ancient emperor!

The strongest treasure of this era to date!

Undoubtedly so; even now, no treasure surpasses it, including the Supreme Purity Flying Sword, the supreme treasure of the Law-Extinguishing Dao authority—there remains a gap.

Yet now this fact has emerged: the Myriad Laws Xuanqiong Imperial Seal has been gashed, suffering grievous injury!

This gap is not due to the treasure.

But to the wielder of the sword!

Since ancient times, sword masters have severed divine weapons with grass leaves and flying blossoms, their skill bordering on the miraculous.

Today's Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal resides in such a realm, wielding a weaker sword to shatter the stronger Myriad Laws Xuanqiong Imperial Seal, and doing so even while the seal's master fought alongside another!

Likewise, the Myriad Laws True Immortal, the Six Paths of Reincarnation True Immortal, and the Weaver Heavenly Maiden are even more miserable; each was pierced through the body by a sword, their immortal forms continually destroyed by the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Qi, forcing them to mobilize vast amounts of magic power, soul computational ability, and Daoist power to resist the erosion of these terrifying sword energies.

Due to multiple factors, the overall strength of the three true immortals plummeted in unison.

This inevitably tilted the battle toward a certain direction.

"Alas……"

"In my view,"

"you all seem to be about to die."

Jiang Ding stood upright in the higher dimension of the Nine Heavens; every movement influenced the myriad aspects of the boundless starry sky, and at this moment he quietly made a judgment.

As if with regret.

As if with longing.

Clang!

Facing the three true immortals below, Jiang Ding slowly drew the Supreme Purity Flying Sword.

Each inch his blade left the scythe imposed immense pressure on the boundless starry sky, followed by successive manifestations of chaotic and indeterminate anomalies; countless illusions densely packed, bizarre beyond comprehension, making them hard to understand.

Sometimes, these illusions were a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon and flying toward a lake;

Sometimes, they were an infant inheriting immense fortune at birth, triggering a celebration of heaven and earth; sometimes, a girl studying classics in a palace; sometimes, generations of marriage deities unyielding in struggle……the boundless starry sky displayed all kinds of strange phenomena.

"This is history, this is the past of time……"

Many emperor-level cultivators gradually came to understand, then began to speculate on other illusions.

Indeed, in one vision, three towering existences bled in the starry sky, their immortal forms shattered, utterly devoid of vitality, while a sword-bearing figure gazed somewhat wistfully at their corpses.

In another vision, a crown gradually condensed from the void; other visions showed a sword-bearing figure walking toward a pitch-black darkness with not a single ray of light, the figure gradually vanishing, after which numerous roars and bellows emerged, as many terrifying entities appeared.

"This is the future."

"The definite, true future, or……the future as seen by some sentient being."

Many emperor-level cultivators made their judgments.

At this moment, as the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal drew his sword, visions of past, present, and future appeared around him, and an inexplicable terrifying killing intent surfaced within the boundless starry sky.

"This sword points toward time."

"The sword slays the enemy within time."

Jiang Ding spoke lightly, explaining to these three true immortals the marvel of this sword: "Thanks to a fellow Daoist and many excellent teammates, the Law-Extinguishing Dao's influence on time has deepened greatly compared to the past; this point, you three fellow Daoists can appreciate and learn from."

"Time!"

The three Myriad Laws True Immortals revealed expressions of grim resignation.

This generation's human sword immortal has gone too deep in the exploration of the Great Dao, making people despair.

Clang!

No matter what they think, it doesn't matter anymore.

With the sound of the sword ringing, the sword is fully drawn.

The pure and secluded sword light blossoms, and the sword's ringing sound lingers along the causal threads that now deeply bind the battlefield, reaching into the past, into the time of the past, reaching into the childhood of the three true immortals, witnessing their past selves.
