Chapter 2602: Lost to All, Jiang Ding Mundane, Vanished Among Men

Boom—

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor wept with joy, burning his immortal body from the head down as payment, he slashed out a sword of the Netherworld Infinite Soul Dao, breaking through layer upon layer of the degenerate sword-path dharma net with one strike, fleeing madly into the distance, caring for nothing anymore!

What desperate breakthrough, what reverse slaying of strong foes—all vanished in this moment, leaving only the ultimate thirst for life and future ascension.

"Fellow Daoist,"

"Please stay your step."

Jiang Ding's voice was soft.

The blue-clad youth placed his hand on the sword hilt.

Hum!

Wu Jin Kong Kong trembled!

The three thousand Dao, the long river of time surged restlessly, heaven and earth's moments, the matter and karma of countless worlds all congealed, then went madly backward, reversing, even heaven and earth themselves turned back, time flowed back, reversing to a moment before, time from now returned to the past!

This is, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang using the degenerate great Dao as a foundation stone, the sword that cuts past and future!

The extreme terror of death's shadow descended as scheduled, enveloping all of Wu Jin Kong Kong, like an invisible great net drowning that madly fleeing weed! "Kill!"

"As fellow cultivators of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture, you cannot kill this Emperor!"

"Cannot kill!"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor let out a mournful howl.

At this moment, he even abandoned his immortal body's head, his immortal soul essence completely merging with the Soul Dao, the Soul Dao is the Nine-Leaf, the Nine-Leaf is the Soul Dao.

All and everything became one sword like the Soul Dao sword born when heaven and earth first opened, in the Hongmeng heaven and earth, when life was first born.

Whoosh!

This heaven-and-earth Hongmeng Soul Dao sword slashed toward eternity!

Terrifying visions of the infinite appeared between heaven and earth, two venerables of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden zone Sword Emperors fighting desperately, even burning their immortal bodies, this sword shook ancient and modern, for countless eons the peak battle of mortal beings in Shen Zhou, the battle closest to immortality, its terrifying fluctuations made even the forbidden zone ancient emperors unknown fear and shock.

At the instant when time intersected with this heaven-and-earth Hongmeng Soul Dao sword, heaven and earth fell silent.

At this moment, time fell into utter chaos.

Sometimes heaven and earth showed various future scenes, sometimes various past histories, even the image of Pangu opening heaven and earth at the universe's beginning flashed by, the river of time fell into extreme chaos, all kinds of great Dao between heaven and earth fell into disorder, rules fell into chaos. Unknown how long passed.

When all finally calmed down, all ancient emperors only felt a faint azure light flash by and vanish.

Between heaven and earth, only a blue-clad youth wearing a sword at his waist remained.

As he surveyed heaven and earth, all emperors bowed their heads, all forbidden zone ancient emperors avoided his gaze, dared not meet his eyes, heaven and earth fell utterly silent, no one wished to provoke this strongest of Wu Jin Kong Kong at this time.

Heaven and earth gradually restored calm.

……

Tai Shang Da Ri Tiangong.

"Somewhat regrettable."

"Letting the Nine-Leaf escape calamity, my sword is still not sharp enough……"

Jiang Ding let out a low sigh.

Missed a great opportunity.

The slaughter between the two Eight-Character forbidden zone ancient emperors originally should not have involved life and death, even if his immortal scripture was higher, but he ultimately never reached the Seven-Character Immortal Scripture, if the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor truly wanted to flee, he could not catch him, or could not find the chance to utterly slay him. But the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's battle was different!

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor was too mad, he did not choose to flee when the battle situation was clearly unfavorable, make a rational choice, but instead erupted all his reserves in mad slaughter, hoping to achieve breakthrough in ten deaths no life, reverse-slay his opponent, complete a full Golden Great Era immortality advantage accumulation.

Such a ten-deaths-no-life battle that ultimately won, one would think he had succeeded many times before.

However, this time, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor was wrong.

He could progress in battle, his opponent even more so, later the gap between them not only did not decrease, but actually widened again.

The price, was death!

At that moment, this forbidden zone Sword Emperor truly was about to die!

At the final critical juncture, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor chose to die together with the Tai Shang Da Ri Zhu Mo Sword Formation, using his own death to destroy the opponent's eternal schemes, letting the opponent suffer the greatest loss.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor thought, this was his final swan song in Shen Zhou.

Death was certain.

Because, even if the Tai Shang Da Ri Zhu Mo Sword Formation shattered, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang would not die, even if many Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden zone ancient emperors surrounded and attacked him, he would not die, as long as he fled far away at the first opportunity, completely abandoned the Tai Shang Da Ri domain, forever avoiding contact and battle with any living beings, he would be safe and worry-free.

As long as he hid for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, the internal warfare among the many Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden zone ancient emperors would inevitably erupt, external pressure would naturally disappear. This is inevitable.

These Dao disputes among the forbidden zone ancient emperors, hatred as great as mountains and seas, would certainly not remain united forever.

After slaying the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang would certainly obtain a Dao breakthrough, and in future immortality slaughters would again gain more advantages!

Seen this way, it seems simply all good things!

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor could see no hope of surviving.

However,

In the end, he truly did survive!

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang was too extraordinarily strange, actually caring deeply about that heap of mortals and weaklings, even willing to abandon slaying a Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden zone Sword Emperor!

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor could not understand this behavior, could only attribute it to weakness.

Precisely because of this weakness, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor obtained a thread of life, fled madly, and survived.

"Sword Lord!"

"Great Sun Counselor!""……"

One after another, sect powerhouses, ancient emperors of the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Tong, Imperial Scripture cultivators entered the palace, filled with guilt, heads bowed.

They saw this battle situation clearly.

If not for Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang choosing to protect them, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor would have long been dead.

Victory should have already arrived.

They are a burden.

This fact, for such a large group of extremely proud and arrogant cultivators, is a considerable blow to their Dao hearts; they are not mediocre people, so they cannot accept such a result.

"Hahaha!"

"Fellow Daoists, why do you act like little girls?"

"Your Majesty, why must we be like this with your fellow Daoists?"

Seeing this, Jiang Ding couldn't help but smile faintly: "You say, compared to other forbidden zone ancient emperors, where does Your Majesty's most prominent advantage lie, and where is the foundation of the Great Dao?"

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang asked a question: "Most prominent advantage?"

Yuan, Mie Dao Gu Huang, Yu Yu Yu Xianmen Zhengzhi, and others were stunned.

Then,

As if having realized something.

"It is the educational advantage, it is the systemic advantage."

"This is where I am stronger than other forbidden zone ancient emperors, and much stronger."

Jiang Ding also did not beat around the bush, saying: "Your Majesty needs a system, needs a large number of immortal Dao talents, and since many talents have families, disciples, and Dao lineages, Your Majesty therefore needs territory and resources—this is the reason Tai Shang Da Ri Yu cannot be lost."

"Losing the system, losing the many talents, losing you fellow Daoists..."

"Losing you, Jiang Ding, would merely make you a mediocre forbidden zone ancient emperor, ranking at the bottom among many forbidden zone ancient emperors, unremarkable and unexceptional; even with a temporary advantage, in the struggles of the Five-Character Immortal Scripture and Four-Character Immortal Scripture, you will surely fall into a great disadvantage and be lost among the crowd."

"Is this a weakness?"

"Yes, this is a weakness."

"But at the same time, this is also the strongest spear, the strongest sword!"
