Chapter 2308
The ethereal sword's cry echoed through Wu Jin Kong Kong.
One after another, images appeared among the stars: a little girl carved of pink jade and polished like gemstone, generations of celestial weavers enduring hardship, a butterfly that had completed metamorphosis and flown toward the lake...
Those were, shockingly, the childhoods of the three great True Immortal Maidens— their pasts!
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Grand Dao, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Grand Dao, the Marriage Grand Dao, and the Annihilation of Laws Grand Dao converged, greatly restraining the Annihilation of Laws Grand Dao's heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating power, yet simultaneously being seized by that same Dao to capture vast amounts of karma, allowing the Annihilation of Laws Grand Dao's power to invade the past.
In those successive images of the past, all cultivators who witnessed this scene were horrified.
The little girl of pink jade and gemstone polish was playing by the lakeside, laughing, roughhousing with a group of older brothers and sisters, utterly relaxed, a picture of innocent charm, lacking any vigilance a cultivator should possess.
Not only the little girl, but the surrounding group of cultivators far stronger than her were the same.
This was entirely normal.
They were the offspring of the Ancient Emperor, raised in love since childhood; the Ancient Emperor father not only granted them powerful bloodlines and the most precious status, but also companionship— in the court, there was none of the usual deceit and scheming, open and hidden strife; this was truly a bond of father, son, brothers, and sisters.
All of Wu Jin Kong Kong belonged to this family, worthy of being called celestial spirit offspring.
Having been born and raised in such an environment, they faced absolutely no danger, thus lacking the vigilance a cultivator should have.
Therefore, this group of princes and princesses failed to notice, amidst the sun of the nine heavens, a faintly yellowish ray of light flash and vanish, shining toward them, straight onto the little girl of pink jade and gemstone polish— upon the future Wanfa True Immortal Maiden!
This ray of light was utterly terrifying, immeasurably sharp, containing the killing intent of the present era's strongest being— a posture of a forbidden-zone Ancient Emperor from future ages— silently and soundlessly slaying toward the fragile, young True Immortal Maiden.
"This!"
"What is this?!!"
At the critical moment, the young Wanfa True Immortal Maiden instantly sensed something, terrified, she looked up to the sky.
Out of some instinct, this little girl subconsciously knew this attack was not invincible, that her present era was her greatest native advantage.
She must possess certain usable factors; any powerful, terrifying attack penetrating vast stretches of time would inevitably be violently weakened.
If she were the future Wanfa True Immortal Maiden, she would certainly find these advantageous factors instantly and utilize them.
But now, she cannot— her current life is too comfortable and easeful, lacking any tempering; typically, the mind knows but the hand can do nothing.
However, this does not mean the young Wanfa True Immortal Maiden is weak.
In fact,
the young Wanfa True Immortal Maiden is the strongest existence!
Stronger than her future self, and vastly stronger!
As the thick aura of death approached, at the critical moment, the young Wanfa True Immortal Maiden slightly opened her small mouth, then widened it to the utmost:
"Father!"
"Father! Father father father!"
"Save me!"
"Save me save me save me!"
After realizing the danger was beyond her ability to resist, the young Wanfa True Immortal Maiden screamed wildly, her voice sharp and piercing, nearly shattering the eardrums of her surrounding brothers and sisters!
Boom—
Boom boom boom...
Before the young Wanfa True Immortal Maiden finished shouting "father," a giant palm containing infinite indeterminate fate and boundless变数 descended from the heavens, landing upon the heads of all the princes and princesses, seizing that yellowish光輝 and crushing it utterly into debris.
This formless, strange attack thus vanished.
"An assassination?"
"Who dares assassinate us?"
"Who dares be so bold!"
A group of imperial princes and princesses of the celestial dynasty exploded in rage, each standing up, killing intent rampant, their auras immensely strong— nearly all were quasi-emperors, with even one emperor-realm cultivator present.
Such a group of cultivators, heavenly nobility, could horizontally push through today's Wu Jin Kong Kong.
Each of them appeared furious— never had any living being been so bold as to dare assassinate celestial dynasty offspring; they were nearly losing their reason.
"Father, who is assassinating us?"
A quasi-emperor princess trembled with rage, killing intent stark.
"One, a human emperor from future times."
Wanfa Ancient Emperor said calmly.
"..."
"..."
The many celestial dynasty princes and princesses instantly stalled.
Each fell silent, their eyes darting left and right, the fury and killing intent on their faces vanishing completely.
Including that emperor-realm cultivator.
One human emperor from future times!
One future human emperor crossing who-knows-how-many billions of years of time, attacking them now!
Just thinking about this makes one's scalp tingle.
Their bodies and souls trembled incessantly— though called one of the strongest beings in Wu Jin Kong Kong, heavenly nobility, celestial spirit offspring— yet where did they get the qualifications to participate in such a battlefield?
"Father, why does that future human emperor want to kill little sister?"
The emperor-realm cultivator, the eldest prince of the celestial dynasty, asked cautiously.
The many celestial dynasty princes and princesses looked anxiously this way and that; the young little girl likewise, dazed and unaware.
"Because, little sister is the future Wanfa True Immortal Maiden."
"In the present future, little sister should currently be locked in slaughter with this future human emperor, who is at the critical moment of ascending to emperor..."
Wanfa Ancient Emperor explained softly.
Through that sword crossing time, he gazed afar, as if likewise crossing vast stretches of time, witnessing that future earth-shattering battle.
"Oh my god!"
"Little sister is the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal!"
Around them, a group of princes and princesses of the immortal dynasty all turned their heads toward the pink-carved, jade-polished little girl, some unable to believe it, because she looked foolishly cute and foolishly cute.
Everyone was stunned for a long time, and then they said with worry: "Little sister, can you win?"
"I don't know."
"The future is uncertain, but at least his strike will come to nothing."
The eyes of the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor grew deeper and deeper, seeing more things, which would certainly be of great use to him in the future.
……
"Pfft!"
A thread of bright red blood spilled from the corner of Jiang Ding's mouth.
The sword that slashed toward the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal failed, and he suffered a great backlash.
At this moment, Jiang Ding recalled the past, during which he inexplicably suffered multiple terrifying life-and-death crises in his growth stages, with a deeply hidden mastermind behind the scenes influencing everything, nearly causing him to die in past times, and gaining many extra hardships before he could grow up.
This is the influence of the ancient Ten Thousand Laws Emperor!
He knew the future, so naturally he would not remain indifferent; even while沉睡 in history, he similarly drew out some strength to suppress future powerful enemies.
This is the most important factor for the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal suffering backlash.
Those who change history are likewise changed by history!
"Time still holds many unknowns..."
Jiang Ding said coldly.
His sword simultaneously slashed at the pasts of three True Immortals; the strike toward the Ten Thousand Laws True Immortal failed instantly.
The swords slashing at the past of the Weaving Heaven Maiden and the Six Paths of Reincarnation True Immortal fiercely battled them, wildly influencing everything in that period of time, with the young True Immortal spilling blood under the starry sky.
