Chapter 2774: The Death of the Jade Emperor, the Obsession of Ascension Reduced to Nothing
The Jade Emperor chose to flee!
This was not out of fear, but a temporary retreat, a tactic he deemed most correct; as long as he escaped for three breaths, victory was certain, and he would seize the Dao achievement of the Seventh Golden Great Age, making future ascension possible.
Having won so many times before, he would surely do so again!
"Escaped?"
"Hahaha..."
"Jade Emperor Daoist friend, I forgot to tell you—under my sword, no opponent has ever survived defeat!"
Jiang Ding's eyes flowed with blood-red light like liquid, and he laughed joyfully.
He looked toward the four directions, channeling all remaining radiance and the flesh and blood of every Dao soldier of the Celestial Court into dissolution, transforming them into billions of Jade Emperor avatars, madly fleeing in all directions, employing every conceivable escape technique, each perfected to the highest level of Dao mastery.
These billions of avatars were not illusions, but the true Jade Emperor himself.
As long as one avatar survived, the Jade Emperor would not die in the future.
This was truly astonishing, even frightening, in its mastery of escape Dao arts.
The inherent flaw of the Yun Chao system was its fear of decapitation tactics—a flaw born with the system, like the ancient Dao path that allowed only one cultivator per era; the Jade Emperor had now overcome this flaw, but in his youth, he must have been deeply troubled by it.
Therefore, escape Dao arts must have been a field the Jade Emperor researched to the utmost depth, and as master of the Golden Great Age, his level was undoubtedly among the very best.
Though the Jade Emperor clearly knew Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang was luring him to flee—his words and attacks subtly guiding him—after confirming the essence of the Great Japanese Power, he still chose to flee, due to his absolute confidence in his escape Dao arts, at least for three breaths.
At this moment, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang felt that confidence and praised it endlessly.
"Hahaha!"
"Jade Emperor Daoist friend,"
"Unfortunately, your escape is a mistake."
Jiang Ding's smile grew increasingly ferocious, black and white light appearing in his blood-sea-like pupils.
The Eye of Slaying the Dao to Become Immortal, born in the spiritless universe, forged by the melting of the Endless Dharma Great Dao and all its authority!
At this moment, as the Eye of Slaying the Dao to Become Immortal fully opened, heaven and earth before Jiang Ding became utterly different—sun, moon, stars, earth, sky, Dao, rules, time, galaxies… and everything tangible and intangible dissolved, replaced by individual material particles and spirit particles, plus countless lines like rules between heaven and earth, together forming the entire Wu Jin Kong Kong.
Analyze!
Find the weakness!
This is the strongest function of the Eye of Slaying the Dao to Become Immortal; now that Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has achieved Earth Immortal status, the power of this pair of immortal eyes has been enhanced to an unparalleled level!
The Jade Emperor transformed into billions, each a true body, each avatar using a completely different escape technique—fleeing into time, into earth, into barren star fields, into the world's core, into stars, into causality…
:
In an instant, they had already fled to extremely distant and hidden places; furthermore, with such vast numbers, the billions of avatars were independent of each other, cutting off communication and causality—even if the Jade Emperor himself arrived now, he could not possibly find all his avatars.
But all of this is clearly visible in the Eye of Slaying the Dao to Become Immortal.
"Let you escape,"
"You really dare to escape?"
Jiang Ding Zi murmured.
At this moment, in his eyes, billions of clear illusory lines were visible, spreading from this battlefield point to every corner of Wu Jin Kong Kong, extending into past and future time, into stars… every trajectory was clearly visible, even allowing one to trace which escape technique was used.
Clang!
The Tai Qing flying sword lightly left its sheath, standing atop the nine heavens of Wu Jin Kong Kong, at the highest dimension.
"No!"
"Impossible, impossible..."
In an instant, the hearts of billions of Jade Emperor avatars were suddenly struck by utter terror, and they went mad, sparing no cost to bury themselves deeper, like an ostrich that only thinks of burying its head in the sand, heedless of everything else.
For at this moment, besides hiding, they had no power left to resist.
"Fall!"
"Jade Emperor Daoist friend, please proceed on your way!"
Jiang Ding laughed ferociously.
Boom—
Boom—boom—
Wu Jin Kong Kong trembled without cease at this moment, heaven collapsing, earth splitting.
Everyone instinctively looked up to the zenith of the starry sky, seeing an indescribably terrifying Endless Dharma sun slowly descend upon Shen Zhou, causing the three thousand great Dao of Wu Jin Kong Kong to fall silent, causing all rules and spirit energy between heaven and earth to vanish, plunging into the Endless Dharma era.
Clang!
They saw the radiance of that Endless Dharma sun endlessly expand, then contract, transforming into billions of Endless Dharma light flying swords, each with precisely guided trajectories, each flying toward the world's core, toward the heart of the stars, toward past and future time.
"Ah!"
"Ah ah ah..."
One scream after another, connected in succession.
That figure wearing an imperial crown, clad in imperial robes, with an aura of immense solemnity and weight, like the very embodiment of the Dao of Heaven, was pierced by sword light after sword light—though he had manifested billions of avatars, though he strained to hide, under the Eye of Slaying the Dao to Become Immortal, there was nowhere to escape.
:
Moreover, it was not only due to the Eye of Slaying the Dao to Become Immortal; the Endless Dharma Dao and sword intent simultaneously locked onto the Jade Emperor's essence, applying multiple locks, granting extremely high priority in the pursuit.
All tactics of the sword cultivator arise from instinct, yet secretly align with the Dao—not senseless, bloody slaughter.
Under this sword, not only did the Jade Emperor's billions of avatars all perish, but every resurrection暗手 he had planted over billions of years was also slain, sought out one by one along the causal lock by this Tai Qing flying sword—the strongest immortal sword of Shen Zhou—and exterminated, none left.
In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent.
Wu Jin Kong Kong remained only with the silhouette of that endlessly joyful青衣 youth, the aura of the Fourth Golden Great Age's master completely vanished.
"Have we won?"
Tai Yang Gu Huang, Qingfeng Beidou, and others held their breath.
"No,"
"No."
The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor was the first to point out his discovery, excitedly saying: "His flame that burns everything is still burning, not extinguished; he can at most live another one and a half breaths!"
Go to "Bing" "Search" "Novel" "Website" to view the latest "Chapter"!
"The Jade Emperor is still alive!"
"After one and a half breaths, if he cannot slay his opponent, he will..."
The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor's eyes lit up, overjoyed, his body and the flying sword in his hand trembling.
"The Jade Emperor is still alive!"
The expressions of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang and the others were shaken; they could not imagine how this powerful being could still be alive, and in their hearts, various fantasies and deductions arose regarding the demise of the master of the Seventh Golden Great Age.
Yet at this moment, they did not show joy like the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, merely staring fixedly at the green-clad youth in the sky.
The green-clad youth slightly closed his eyes, doing nothing, carefully feeling.
This period was extremely long, extremely long on the scale of an earth immortal battlefield; he had half a breath in which he did nothing, merely searching.
"Haha!"
"Ah, so that's it!"
After half a breath, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang smiled faintly, lost in himself.
"In this age, you are already dead, fellow Daoist Jade Emperor."
"In other ages, you are still alive; the practitioners of the Yun Chao system truly have the habit of leaving behind seeds for survival and recovery at all times, everywhere—this is a good habit."
"Truly worth studying... no, not worth studying; if sword cultivators learn from you, they are finished."
:
Jiang Ding laughed loudly.
Boom—
In the midst of annihilating the law to become an immortal, two black and white lights suddenly burst forth, intertwining like the yin-yang taiji diagram, turning into a single yin-yang divine light that pierced through the current of time, flowing downstream along the river of time, passing through over ten billion years of time in succession!
This sword light arrived at a completely new future era, an era that, compared to the Seventh Golden Great Age, is still considered future.
This is the Eleventh Golden Great Age!
The black and white sword light carrying Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's slaughter of heaven and earth with ultimate sword intent flowed downstream along the river of time, arriving at the Eleventh Golden Great Age!
This is an era known as the Ancestral Witch Golden Great Age; the path of the Ancestral Witch is the ladder to immortality in this age, the Twelve Ancestral Witches suppress the mortal world, and the legendary immortal Ancestral Witches suppress eternity, forever existing—this is an extremely splendid Golden Great Age.
But all of this has passed.
In indeterminable time, the Ancestral Witch Golden Great Age's path to immortality was completely destroyed by the immortal civilization from the past, Shen Zhou has completely forgotten the once splendid Ancestral Witch path to immortality and enlightenment, leaving only some neither strong nor weak blood witches, and a large number of mortals existing in this age.
This Eleventh Golden Great Age, the Ancestral Witch Golden Great Age, was destroyed by the Yun Chao of the Fourth Golden Great Age!
Now, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang from the Seventh Golden Great Age has come once again to this desolate era, an era without any powerful beings.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha... hahaha..."
This powerful being, who forcibly tracked down and chased across who knows how much time to arrive here, laughed uncontrollably, overjoyed, exultant: "Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor, we meet again!"
"Truly, I cannot express my joy enough!"
"If Shen Zhou had many opponents like you, Your Majesty, how could I be lonely, how could I be bored?"
Jiang Ding laughed uncontrollably.
Clang!
As he focused his thoughts, a sword light slashed into the distance, crossing who knows how many hundreds of millions of light-years, arriving at an ordinary Minor Thousand World, arriving at an unnamed tiny tribe, arriving at the eye of a boy from the tribe named Black.
This boy was naive and fearful, like an ordinary tribe boy.
But when he saw that sword light slashing toward him, seeing that even after who knows how many hundreds of millions of light-years he could still see the green-clad youth in that pitch-black starry sky, he fell silent, no longer deliberately feigning his naivety and ignorance.
"Alas!"
"Fourth Golden Great Age, has my true self been defeated?"
The boy named Black of the tribe remained silent for a long time, then asked.
Obviously, his memory is independent, possessing only the memories of the Fourth Golden Great Age destroying the Eleventh Golden Great Age; he does not know future events, only speculating.
:
"Hahaha... hahaha..."
"Indeed so."
"Farewell, fellow Daoist Jade Emperor."
"I hope that in my lifetime, I may still encounter opponents like you, or even stronger; you are the strongest opponent I have ever met, the most talented in talent and temperament, I will not forget you—you are an excellent, excellent ladder to immortality."
Jiang Ding laughed wildly with great excitement.
Boom—
This once again transformed the manifestation of the law-annihilation-to-immortality pupil and sword intent into a sword light, directly slashing into the black skull of the tribe boy.
Heaven and earth instantly fell silent.
"You..."
The tribe boy Black wanted to resist, grabbing the stone spear in his hand to do something.
But he could do nothing.
He gradually sank into endless darkness, all consciousness submerged, gradually dying.
"To become an immortal..."
"To become an immortal, to become an immortal... unwilling..."
The tribe boy Black's body went limp and fell to the ground, lying on the earth, two teardrops silently falling from his eyes, dropping onto the forest floor covered with fallen leaves and standing water.
He died soundlessly and silently, leaving only the endless unwillingness of one who has become an immortal.
At this moment, the supreme master of the Fourth Golden Great Age, the strongest one who attained Dao and became immortal through the Imperial Dynasty's Dao-Attainment and Immortality Method, the Jade Emperor,
died!
"Hahaha..."
"Ask the heavens!"
"If I, this lord, do not become immortal, who can?"
At this moment, blood rain fell from the heavens!
The endless blood rain of the Fourth Golden Great Age poured down, falling upon a blue-clothed youth laughing wildly with joy, the blood rain filling the sky bearing witness to the blue-clothed youth, bearing witness to his body burning with blood fire gradually extinguishing, boundless power returning from the Heavenly Dao once more, filling his body anew, restoring him to his peak.
