Chapter 2732
The cosmic frontier.
The expedition fleet of the Seventh Golden Great Age has arrived!
It is clearly visible that the entire universe and heaven and earth are not adapting to these beings from the future, constantly emitting a pressure akin to annihilation, suppressing the brilliance of these future beings.
This expedition fleet from the future is constantly self-checking.
"Our strength has been suppressed by fifty percent?"
"At most, we can stay for a million years, after which we will be completely expelled by the era's time."
"The suppression is too great! We still do not fully understand time expeditions, our research is insufficient, we are novices in this subject."
At the center of the expedition fleet, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang spoke calmly.
This is his first true descent into this Fifth Golden Great Age, unknown how many hundreds of millions of years ago, reversing the great prosperity of heaven and earth's past history, this past history holds a true probability of ascension to immortality, and now, he will personally reduce this probability to zero, exterminating all variables of immortality.
The various emperors also gazed upon this era's Golden Great Age.
"Indeed, it is quite desolate and barren."
"The Dao's essence is not evident."
"The Three Thousand Great Dao are not strong; the power of rules is much weaker compared to our era..."
The Northern Dipper Ancient Emperor, the Solar Ancient Emperor, the Dao-Destroying Ancient Emperor, and other ancient emperors spoke, each contemplating their own Great Dao of this era, presenting various Dao data to the expedition fleet's central hub.
The perceptions of the various forbidden zone ancient emperors and Feathered Ascension Realm cultivators converged into the expedition fleet's central hub, forming individual deduction results.
If the Seventh Golden Great Age can be called a pseudo-immortal realm and has been repeatedly strengthened, then the total foundation of the Wu Jin Kong Kong of the Fifth Golden Great Age is likely inferior even to the recently recovered Wu Jin Kong Kong foundation of the Seventh Golden Great Age; the gap between heaven and earth is too great!
If the Seventh Golden Great Age is called a pseudo-immortal realm, then the Fifth Golden Great Age can be called the mortal realm!
This is precisely the gap.
The rules, Great Dao power, Dao essence, spiritual energy, etc., of the Wu Jin Kong Kong are not eternal and unchanging; when heaven and earth develop well, the four seasons turn clearly, and the myriad stars move normally, only then do these normal and prosperous conditions allow the Dao essence and Great Dao power between heaven and earth to strengthen in sync.
Purely from the perspective of heaven and earth, the Fifth Golden Great Age is hardly worthy of being called a Golden Great Age.
It is more like an apocalypse!
Although its immortal Dao technology is highly developed, with various dazzling immortal Dao creations—war stars, golden immortals, heavenly courts, the one hundred and eight ancient realms, cultivators of extreme strength, immortal Dao civilization flourishing to the extreme—yet heaven and earth are already on the brink of collapse!
"Reversing the principles of heaven and earth!"
"This is an unsustainable path!"
Jiang Ding spoke calmly: "Fellow Daoists, charge forward! With our immortal Dao wisdom and power accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, plus the treasures and warships produced from vast amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures through top-tier immortal Dao industry, we will destroy the so-called heavenly court of this Fifth Golden Great Age with our cultivation!"
"Thus proving that the path of sustainable development far surpasses the path of reversing heaven and earth!"
A youth in green robes stepped forward, arriving before the expedition fleet; amidst the resonant sounds spreading through the Wu Jin Kong Kong, he drew his sword and struck with a single blow!
Heaven and earth suddenly solidified.
Then, a rumbling sound gradually unfolded, and a twilight sword light appeared between heaven and earth, extending straight from the expedition fleet to the central hub of the heavenly court, to the holy lands of the one hundred and eight ancient realms!
This is a sword path!
Similar to the high-dimensional high-speed passages of miraculous engineering in the Seventh Golden Great Age, at this moment, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang opened it with a single sword, for the army to pass through, without needing to waste time on a long, slow march.
Numerous cultivators of the heavenly court immediately felt the terrifying threat.
"Kill!"
"Break through here..."
At the ancient realms, numerous golden immortals raged, activating numerous great formations, producing world-destroying radiant light that bombarded this twilight sword path, attempting to destroy it, but the terrifying attacks falling upon the twilight sword path had no effect, as if striking at illusion.
It was as if this twilight sword path came from the immortal realm, like a high-dimensional creation!
Even ordinary people cannot touch it, let alone destroy it!
Yes, these so-called earth immortals, heaven immortals, and golden immortals are merely ordinary people; no matter how they boast, they cannot change anything—they are just ordinary people.
"This is an existence like an immortal venerable!"
Many golden immortals were frightened.
Some of them looked toward the nine heavens above, seemingly expecting something, but nothing appeared above the nine heavens; that twilight sword path remained like a sharp sword piercing from the cosmic frontier straight into the heavenly court's one hundred and eight ancient realms, shining brightly, eternal, unaffected by anything.
In the distance, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang similarly waited silently.
After a long time, still no appearance of the Derivation Law Immortal Venerable, waiting for him to actively step into the heavenly court's immortal formation range to come destroy his own twilight sword path.
"Attack."
"It seems the Derivation Law Immortal Venerable Daoist is not very hospitable."
Jiang Ding spoke calmly.
"Yes!"
"Sword Master!"
Numerous forbidden zone ancient emperors shouted in unison.
Warship after warship formed military arrays, stepping onto this twilight sword path—the high-dimensional high-speed passage—marching toward the heavenly court's core, shuttling through the high-dimensional passage, at speeds far exceeding light speed, surpassing the speed of super transmission arrays, crossing the vast and long starry sky in just tens of thousands of years, arriving at the world of life, beginning to encounter scattered resistance.
Thus, battle erupted.
The army of the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty did not charge forward recklessly, leaving no retreat; instead, they advanced step by step, gradually capturing numerous Minor Thousand Worlds and Major Thousand Worlds as footholds and bases for formation construction, establishing strongholds, advancing slowly, and under the condition that the heavenly court army dared not emerge, progress was very smooth.
It is estimated that within at most a hundred thousand years, the army of the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty will reach the heavenly court.
At this moment, a youth in green robes arrived in a desolate Major Thousand World, descending into a world of endless yellow sands, holding up the yellow sand in his hand, closing his eyes slightly, as if hearing the painful cries of the Major Thousand World.
"This might be a part of the Tian Long Ancient Realm from many years ago?"
"Unexpectedly, during the Fifth Golden Great Age, it is actually a world devoid of any life; the world's seasonal flow, fire, the growth of plants and trees, the flowing rivers, the continuous mountain ranges—all have vanished, as if someone had sucked out its marrow and bones, leaving only the shell."
"Utilized extremely thoroughly, extremely efficiently, not a trace left."
"Unfortunately, even a poor household, no matter how frugal and calculating, can only do so much."
Jiang Ding let the yellow sand slip through his fingers, sighing.
To extract the marrow of heaven and earth, to reverse the principles of heaven and earth—this path is very powerful, but visibly, it cannot make the cake bigger, strengthen the foundation of the endless universe's starry sky; the total weight of the endless starry sky is just that of the period after the Golden Great Age's recovery, and can no longer increase, having not experienced the multiple leapfrog surges of the Seventh Golden Great Age's immortal Dao foundation.
The total amount is such that, no matter how efficiently it is used, it remains just that.
"You say that's right,"
"Fellow Daoist of the Derivation Method."
Jiang Ding watched the last grain of yellow sand fall from between his fingers, then looked up at the white-haired, immortal-looking old man who had appeared at some point beside him, and spoke calmly.
This is indeed the Derivation Method Immortal Venerable, yet only a clone, so it did not arouse much interest from the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.
"Tai Shang Da Ri Fellow Daoist, your words are mistaken."
"Heaven and earth have a fixed total; all spiritual power and matter are constantly cycling, and spiritual power and matter remain conserved—no means can increase the total of heaven and earth."
"So-called accumulation is wrong from the very beginning."
The Derivation Method Immortal Venerable smiled faintly.
