Chapter 2390

Here, the starry sky fell silent for a moment.

The Gu Huang Ji Yan had already departed; Jiang Ding had opened the Dao Ting warehouse permissions for him and dispatched auditors, and he was now urgently preparing the ritual to strip the Huang Zun of his title, a matter with time constraints requiring haste, for Ji Yan Gu Huang's remaining lifespan was short.

Jiang Ding silently watched the distant battle between the Xian Chao army and the allied forces of the various Huang.

The war here continued and seemed destined to last a considerable time, for the allied army of Huang Dao soldiers, possessing morale-locking foundational abilities, could not possibly surrender until every last soldier fell, even if their Huang had perished, the fighting and slaughter persisted, never yielding.

Ji Yan Gu Huang could forcibly order the soldiers of Ji Yan Xian Chao to surrender, but this would be a humiliation to them, and without Jiang Ding applying great pressure to compel him, he would not volunteer to do so.

This morale-locking ability was absent in the great army of Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting.

Because Dao soldiers' morale locking was largely achieved through divine soul restrictions, cultivation method influences, and the triggering of heavy military weapons—postnatal means with a high lower limit and only moderate upper limit, lacking the subjective initiative of cultivators, they could stably display their proper level, but exceeding it was impossible.

The military construction philosophy of the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Ting army was strongly influenced by the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen, and it had no such restrictions.

Such an army placed excessively high demands on command, morale, institutions, and political work, and was extremely prone to corruption; in despair, collapse and surrender were possible, its sole advantage being the potential for exceeding expectations, yet it was too unstable, and ordinary ancient emperors did not favor such armies.

The Dao soldiers' battlefield remained in stalemate.

Out of the instinct of a sword cultivator, Jiang Ding disliked interfering in his subordinates' slaughter and combat, which was a form of bullying and contempt; besides the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen, no one dared to seek his aid on such a battlefield.

Of course, if the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen sought aid, he would immediately act.

If the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen did not seek aid, he would not act proactively, only watch.

Jiang Ding lowered his head, gazing at the many jade slips woven from grass stems and leaves in his hand, instinctively feeling a sharp pain as if stared at by a venomous snake, extremely dangerous.

This soul-danger omen was extremely subtle, sometimes vanishing without trace, profoundly strange.

"Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor — his strength far surpasses mine."

"This is a senior of the Sword Dao."

Jiang Ding slightly narrowed his eyes.

His Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul was a Sword Dao Immortal Soul, a miracle and treasure born in the spiritless universe, extraordinarily keen in omens of life and death, yet now it occasionally exhibited a shielding phenomenon, truly bewildering, inexplicable by the current Xian Dao Wen Ming level of the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao.

This indicated a terrifying possibility.

If not for the status of the present Human Emperor, placing the "Grass-Character Immortal Sword Scripture" before Jiang Ding, he would feel no danger, would foolishly sink into it, unknowingly transforming into the puppet grass sword child of the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, his entire foundation devoured by the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor.

Mortality rate, as high as ninety percent or more.

Of course, ninety percent is not a hundred percent, and Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang still had a chance to escape, but the probability was very low, for every sword cultivator was highly skilled in killing sword cultivators.

"Highest Danger Level Item."

"Sealed, except for me, no one may comprehend it."

Jiang Ding lightly tapped the Tai Qing flying sword, summoning the power of the Mie Fa Great Dao, causing strands of Mie Fa Great Dao primordial ancient scriptures to fall upon the grass-stem jade slips, sealing them bit by bit, severing the influence of this demon sword scripture on the outside world.

Forbidden Zone Immortal Scripture, the "Grass-Character Immortal Sword Scripture"!

This was, in fact, a long-distance sacred sword duel of sword cultivators!

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor was unwilling to revive in the present age, for the time had not yet come, but this did not mean he had taken no action; this "Grass-Character Immortal Sword Scripture" was his sword thrust at the present ancient emperors of the Wu Jin Kong Kong, and if the present ancient emperors could not restrain their greed and comprehend the sword scripture, they would very likely fall into great terror, and after one lifetime, perish in body and Dao.

And Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, likewise, wielded his own immortal scripture, his own Great Dao, to strike a sword at the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor.

"Nine-Leaf — "

"My lord's is not like yours, hiding and evading."

Jiang Ding lightly stroked the sword hilt, murmuring: "My lord's 'Mie Fa Tai Yang Immortal Scripture' is the foundation of the Forbidden Zone Immortal Scripture, with great potential to ascend to Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor Immortal Scripture in the future; such a path and such scriptures, does your heart not stir?"

Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Dao, undoubtedly possessing immense transcendence superiority!

This superiority has been proven time and again on ancient emperor-level battlefields; this path has, in merely a few million years, iterated to this degree, and any ancient emperor with eyes not blind can see it.

Any cultivator aspiring to transcendence cannot help but heed the myriad mysteries of Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Dao!

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor will surely comprehend the "Mie Fa Tai Yang Immortal Scripture."

This scripture indeed contains no hidden traps; Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has never lied.

But, look at who created this path?

Throughout the ages, how many sword dao heroes have died on this road?

This is a sword dao scripture with qi deviation as its core!

"Mie Fa Tai Yang Immortal Scripture" has no hidden traps?

This entire scripture is nothing but traps, all great terror and great danger! One could even say it is a scripture formed from countless great terrors!

If the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor accepted the lineage of the Great Sun Sword Dao, he would have at least a thirty percent chance of dying outright, and a ninety percent chance of suffering severe injury near death.

This is an immortal scripture that seeks its own death!

Whether he can ultimately turn peril into safety, allowing the Nine-Leaf Sword Dao to leap forward, depends on his fortune, but he will surely shed at least a layer of skin.

The final outcome remains unknown to anyone.

"Nine-Leaf,"

"My lord hopes you can survive."

Jiang Ding whispered to himself.

If the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor truly mastered the Great Sun Sword Dao, emerged from great danger and terror, transcended himself, he would become an unparalleled sword dao opportunity, the kind that makes Jiang Ding's heart surge just thinking of it, and for such an opportunity he would give everything!

The slaughter and roaring on the starry battlefield continued.

At every moment, vast numbers of Xian Chao cultivators died in battle.

For sword cultivators, such war was a life-and-death opportunity; for law cultivators, it was merit, without merit no resources, no future, destined to die; many law cultivators whose lifespans were nearly exhausted had long craved war, awaiting this day for too long, while the Yu Yu Yu Xianmen needed war for real combat, to learn higher levels of military formation.

To forcibly halt war, for these seekers of the Dao, would be a cruelty.

This war had continued for a thousand years.

After a thousand years, Jiang Ding awoke from comprehending the "Tai Yang Immortal Scripture Fragment," opened his eyes, and before him stood many Emperor Realm cultivators, their garments stained with blood, respectfully performing rites before him.

Looking down from the starry sky upon the battlefield, the war had ended, the allied forces of the various Huang were utterly destroyed.
