Chapter 2430

A single weed, blooming in the long river of ancient time!

The weed stood in time, its stem bearing nine leaves, shimmering brightly, each representing a different sword intent—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, reincarnation, extinction, spacetime, causality, and soul-extinction—these nine supreme sword intents of the mortal realm intertwined and radiated, each having reached the ultimate peak in the mortal realm!

At this moment, the grass-leaf sword cultivator acted decisively and resolutely.

This weed instantly burned and sublimated itself; the light of the nine sword intents pierced through ancient time, forming a terrifying sword light that severed heaven and earth, stabbing into the downstream of the long river of time, charging toward the future.

At this moment, the speed of the nine-leaf weed had already surpassed the mortal realm's ultimate limit, surpassed the flow of time itself, and vanished from all levels of mortal beings.

This is the true sword cultivator: either fight, fight to the death, or flee directly—there has never been a middle option.

The nine-leaf weed once again refreshed the unknown number of eras' mortal realm ultimate speed, completely surpassing the previous ultimate speed of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, for this is burning everything, solely for the sake of escape—the ultimate sword immortal technique!

"All are, cowardly and weak lot."

"You are destined to never attain immortality, and will all become this lord's foundation stone for the Great Dao——"

Jiang Ding quietly gazed at the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, whispering.

Clang!

In the plain words, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang likewise burned and sublimated himself.

The boundless extermination Dao roared, shaking the cosmic void; the extermination Dao manifested in the mortal realm, falling upon the burning youth in azure robes, where Dao and cultivator became one, jointly guiding the arrival of the Dharma-ending age into the mortal realm, causing the lunar and solar stars to fall, causing the Dao's rules to collapse, causing—

The long river of time to scatter!

At this moment, as a present-world forbidden-zone ancient emperor burned without regard for any cost, even the long river of ancient time exhibited an extremely subtle momentary pause!

An invisible and icy terror, fear surfaced in the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's sea of consciousness.

This made him feel somewhat unfamiliar, somewhat excited, as something sealed for many tens of thousands of years was activated, revealing an expression of excited longing.

"Truly,"

"Radiant, beautiful, splendid extermination sword Dao——"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor gave a low smile, not concealing his greed.

His sword light flowed like water, penetrating everywhere, omnipresent, meeting the mortal realm's most terrifying assault head-on—both escape and slaughter.

"Nine-Leaf, in the past you once gifted this lord a sword; today I likewise gift you one."

"To come and not return is improper."

Jiang Ding spoke expressionlessly.

"Slash!"

Boom—

In the long river of ancient time affected by the extermination Dao, that subtle momentary pause!

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang burned himself, sublimated everything, his entire body and soul merged into the Tai Qing Flying Sword, becoming the sole killing sword within the extermination Dao!

At this moment, in Jiang Ding's cold and silent gaze, heaven and earth were a uniform gray, devoid of all color.

Only in the future of the long river of time did a figure and sword light flee at extreme speed—this was the sole color in this gray world, a piercing moss-green hue.

Instantly, in this gray world, two additional lights appeared.

One black, one white.

Precisely the Dao-attainment rules of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang: the Eye of Extinction and the Eye of Extermination!

Drip-drip!

Drip-drip-drip-drip——

These two rules acted like coordinates, continuously tracking and locking onto that frantically fleeing figure, constantly overlapping with it, emitting a drip-drip sound—this is the cultural influence bestowed upon Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang by the education of past-era immortal sects, this is Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang now using Dao-attainment rules to lock onto the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's weakness!

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's sword Dao had already reached its peak, flawless and perfect—where could there be a flaw?

The Dao-attainment rules of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang say you have it, then you must have it!

Must have it!

This is the law of heaven and earth!

Drip-drip!

Drip-drip!

With a sudden urgent locking sound, the two black-and-white Dao-attainment rules precisely locked onto the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's figure, like a bone-deep abscess, impossible to shake off, always firmly overlapping with the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's figure, no matter what escape technique he used, no matter whether he crossed time.

"Not good!"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's sword Dao instinctively trembled wildly.

Yet he had already burned everything, given all, and had no more strength left!

Clang!

A sword Dao long howl, as expected, blossomed in the long river of ancient time.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor clearly had already fled far, entered the deep future of the downstream long river of time, yet this sword appeared blatantly before him.

This sword was so beautiful.

How beautiful would it be?

A present-era ancient emperor's lifetime of sword Dao wisdom, a forbidden-zone ancient emperor burning all to form this ultimate single sword, a forbidden-zone ancient emperor with sword and soul united, having given everything, slashing out this ultimate magnificent sword—already, from the perspective of immortal Dao wisdom, immortal Dao structure, immortal Dao rules, it is the sword Dao peak of countless billions of years in the boundless starry void!

The ultimate strong must necessarily be beautiful.

This sword could make all sword cultivators of the world drunk, one sight mistaken for a lifetime, a lifetime of sword Dao reduced to rotten wood and filth, devoid of joy.

This sword thus appeared in the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's moss-green pupils, instantly obscuring the sky and sun, enveloping all.

"Thus,"

"Beautiful."

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor exclaimed in awe, his body stiffening.

Thereafter, a gray-white sword trace appeared at the center of his brow, gradually splitting him open from the absolute uniform center, cleanly cleaving him into two halves.

In an instant, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's breath vanished completely, his life force gone entirely.

Beside the two halves of the corpse, a frail and flickering youth in blue robes slowly appeared, leaning on his sword planted in the ground to support himself.

A faint sigh followed.

Following the gaze of the ancient emperor of the present forbidden zone toward the end of the river of time.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha one "6

There, a youth beautiful as a demon appeared, with a sword scar on his brow, once again splitting him in two.

"Haha!"

The wild and twisted laughter still echoed!

Again, a demon-like youth appeared further down the river of time, a terrifying sword scar still embedded in his brow like a bone-deep ulcer.

This sword scar was drawn by the ancient emperor of the present forbidden zone at the peak of his sublimation—how could it be so simple?

The demonic youth was once again split in two!

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha————hahaha————"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor appeared again and again, only to be split in two each time!

Yet he laughed, fleeing at an unimaginable speed from the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, this technique terrifying to the extreme, transcending time and the Dao, utterly unstoppable.

"Tai Shang Da Ri!"

"This emperor has nine lives! Can you cut me nine times? Hahaha! Come!"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor laughed wildly.

He was slain eight times in succession!

The ninth time, the sword scar of the ancient emperor of the present forbidden zone reappeared on his brow, but had faded to the utmost extremity, losing its lethality, merely grievously wounding the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, who spat blood continuously.

This was also the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's final life, his very soul essence.

This is an extremely strange soul form.

Formed by the fusion of a dignified and aloof middle-aged swordsman's soul and a soul of a beauty so stunning it steals one's breath—twin souls coexisting, the swordsman indifferent, the beauty alluring, spreading a chilling strangeness and terror that twists and confuses the soul, driving one mad in an instant.
