Chapter 791: Solar Destruction Beam One Thousand and Twenty-Four

Beneath the endless brilliant Dai Sen Solar Sword Domain, scorching solar light and destructive sword intent enveloped all.

The seven Candidate Daozi's true domains stood firm, radiating terrifying aura.

The entire Fire Spirit World cheered and resonated, as if the Heavenly Dao itself recognized its own offspring's birth, bestowing boundless power.

This terrifying Heavenly Dao enhancement granted them even more terrifying strength.

The infinite scorching, infinite destructive Dai Sen Solar Sword Domain could not destroy them; instead, in cycles of annihilation and revival, spiritual trees grew, sprouting from the ashes.

The spiritual trees' branches curled, yellowed, burned in the high heat, shattered by destructive will—but progress had been made; they no longer turned to ash instantly, no longer the despairing sight of total annihilation.

In the Alchemy Domain, all kinds of seasonal winds, rains, and herbal formulas emerged from the cauldrons; the pills grew more heat-resistant, more durable, completing a certain evolution.

In the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, generations of strange beasts reproduced and mutated countless times in an instant; the newborn demons were mostly fire- or light-affiliated, clad in hardened shells impervious to blades, axes, hammers, and sword qi.

In the Heaven's Mechanism Domain, in the Bixi Domain, in the Ten Thousand Shadows Domain…

Everything was evolving, iterating; though still unable to resist the Dai Sen Solar Sword Domain for now, the damage inflicted was already decreasing.

Given more time, they might achieve near-total immunity—even complete immunity—to heat and destruction!

"What terrifying power!"

Jiang Ding could not help but sigh, sincerely admiring: "What kind of earth-shattering wisdom, immense fortune, and extraordinary destiny did the ancestors of the Badaxian Sect possess to develop such power—and pass it down in orderly succession, ascending to even higher levels?"

"Compared to such heroes, I am so insignificant."

His expression of awe slowly faded.

His gaze weighed back and forth between the Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi Ji Liuyue and the Brother Xuanwu Candidate Daozi Tian Tian Xuanzi.

After a moment,

He shifted his gaze and locked onto one person.

"Ying San Yi,"

Jiang Ding stood atop the super warship Da Ri Hao, his finger pointing at a point in empty space: "This… may be the most suitable for you. I hope you like it. Do not waste my goodwill."

He realized: pure solar light was a natural nemesis to the Yingmo Yuan cultivators, multiplying their impact tenfold, maximizing their power output.

Moreover, the power of the super warship Da Ri Hao far surpassed that of the Yingmo Candidate Daozi!

"No good!"

The Yingmo Candidate Daozi shuddered, sensing dire peril, realizing what was coming.

Hum!

Countless array runes appeared across heaven and earth; the void grew hazy. Under Yun Ri's auxiliary control—tens of millions of operations per second—the one thousand and twenty-four Dai Sen sword-type drones simultaneously executed countless array maneuvers.

The mirror-like sword wings adjusted continuously, gathering all solar light within a thousand-kilometer radius and concentrating it into a single direction.

Heaven and earth abruptly darkened, losing all light.

It had been only the ground without light before.

Now, even the light of the entire Dai Sen Solar Sword Domain vanished; the eternal solar radiance shining for billions of years above vanished too.

All of heaven and earth plunged into absolute darkness.

Whether natural light, magical radiance, or even the faint glow of spiritual souls—all vanished, forcibly seized, controlled, and dominated by some unknown force.

Countless billions of solar rays were absorbed, devoured!

The cosmos plunged into the ultimate darkness that preceded Pangu's splitting of heaven and earth!

Then,

Light reappeared in heaven and earth.

Zii…

The first pure-gold, scorching solar beam emerged from the Dai Sen solar mirror drone, piercing dozens of kilometers to strike a point in empty space.

This beam was brilliant yet dim.

Brilliant in will.

Forged by absorbing solar light from thousands of kilometers, countless suns.

Dim in visible perception.

All light had been devoured; not a single photon escaped—like a divine solar spear suddenly appearing in the universe, piercing the profound darkness of space without illuminating its surroundings.

After the first solar beam locked its target,

Came one thousand and twenty-four!

Boom!

Like a peacock spreading its tail, one thousand and twenty-four pure-gold solar beams erupted from the Dai Sen solar mirror drones, each like a solar barb, striking from different angles and positions.

Yet every single solar beam's point of impact was identical!

"Ah!"

"Save me!"

In the hazy void, a cloud of shadowy mist was forced out by the overwhelming solar divine might; before the solar punishment even descended, he screamed in terror, like the shrill cry of a cicada in autumn.

In the ultimate darkness of the cosmic void, one thousand and twenty-four solar beams struck simultaneously upon the shadowy mist formed by the Yingmo Candidate Daozi—arriving instantly, leaving no room for reaction or evasion.

The terrifying Da Ri destruction power descended; the first to block it was the Ten Thousand Shadows Ghost Domain—the Tongue-Pulling Ghost, the Starving Ghost, the Drowning Ghost, the Greedy Ghost…

Faintly, it seemed one had entered the Eighteen Layers of Hell, countless types of vengeful spirits, an entire ecosystem of ghosts.

Among these ghosts, the most numerous were those who had died burned to charcoal—born from the influence of the Dai Sen Solar Sword Domain, possessing greater heat resistance and destructive will resistance, necessary to survive.

These myriad ghosts formed an almost complete ghost kingdom, deceiving the Heavenly Dao into mistaking it for a seed of the world's own Yin-side underworld, the Yama realm, thus granting it immense power and multiplying the cultivator's strength manyfold.

Zii…

Zii zii…

Yet now, one thousand and twenty-four solar destruction beams descended.

The Tongue-Pulling ghosts turned to ash in droves.

Starved to death—fierce ghosts turned to ash and vanished!

Drowned to death—fierce ghosts were pierced through!

All of it happened in a single instant, impossible to stop!

Even the charred fierce ghosts, whose numbers were so vast and upon whom such great hopes had been pinned, shattered in groups, turned to ash and vanished, collapsing and perishing along with the entire fierce ghost realm domain.

None of this could stop the sun's divine punishment!

"Save him!"

Tianji Candidate Daozi roared.

He united the myriad divination chips, tortoise shells, banners, and other divination artifacts of the Tianji realm, took out a divination chip covered in vicious curses, sprayed essence blood onto it, made it vanish in an instant, and had it appear before Shadow Demon Candidate Daozi, blocking the path of the sun's destruction beams.

This was not faster than light.

Rather, it was based on the intelligence the Dongji Demon Sect had revealed on the great power battlefield, then divined through Tianji, predicting in advance.

The cursed divination chip blocked the way.

A sliver of the might of the one thousand and twenty-four sun destruction beams was revealed.

Boom!

The cursed divination chip forged from Yu Chong Guang Xuan Jin, which claimed to cross through time and curse-kill enemies across a million miles, was blasted back beneath the resplendent light, its spiritual glow dimmed, the chip covered in scars.

It was no match at all!

Even on the Refining Void-grade magic treasure embryo forged from Yu Chong Guang Xuan Jin, scars like charcoal appeared—utterly terrifying.

"Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Heavenly Seed!"

Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi Ji Liuyue also went mad, shouting.

She drew from her heart a bloodstained verdant divine sapling seedling, palm-sized, gathered the power of all the spiritual plants in the entire Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu realm, transformed it into an arrow, and shot it at the sun's destruction divine light at a terrifying speed, unable to tolerate the death of any Candidate Daozi.

Because if one Candidate Daozi dies, the remaining Candidate Daozi must die too!

Boom!

Under the one thousand and twenty-four sun destruction beams, without exception, the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu seedling was blasted back, its verdant leaves curling, yellowing, blackening—ghastly to behold.

One must remember, this was a seedling of a Refining Void ancient tree!

"Kill!"

"Kill him!"

At the same time, Brother Brother Xuanwu Candidate Daozi Tian Tian Xuanzi, Ten Thousand Beasts Candidate Daozi Liu Liu Kuangzi, Upper Clarity Spiritual Treasure Candidate Daozi Duobaozi… all the Candidate Daozi roared, gathering the power of all beings in their realm domains, striking out with their Dao foundation magic treasures, wanting to save Shadow Demon Candidate Daozi who was enveloped by the sun's destruction beams.

Boom!

Boom boom!

The result—without exception!

All the magic treasures—the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Heavenly Seed, the Yu Chong Guang divination chip, the Bixi bronze statue, the Treasure-Falling Golden Coin… all such things, every one a powerful and terrifying magic treasure, forged from the inherited divine metals of the Badaxian Sect, and further gathering the power of their realm domains, blessed by the power of Heaven's Dao—terrible to the extreme.

Yet, all of these, under the one thousand and twenty-four sun destruction beams, were blasted back!

This was still just the aftershock, not the main attack target—otherwise the Ben Ming Fa treasure might well have been damaged beyond repair.

Whoosh!

Under the gaze of all, the one thousand and twenty-four sun destruction beams broke through everything, piercing through Shadow Demon Candidate Daozi's skull, limbs, heart, eyes, heart-liver-spleen-lungs, and every other part of his body.

"I…"

Shadow Demon Candidate Daozi's eyes were terrified, he wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and the next moment, his body turned to ash and scattered.

Amid drifts of white ash,

a jet-black Shadow Kill Myriad Poison Blade flew out from the body whose vitality had completely vanished, carrying the remnant divine soul as it fled frantically.

"Still has a divine soul?"

"Fellow Daoist Shadow Three-One, your escape art is quite marvelous—it's surpassed mine."

Jiang Ding's expression was calm.

Dai Sen's Solar Sword Domain was not an ability he could only barely execute by paying a heavy price, burning essence blood or magic power.

It was simply ordinary.

If he could slash out one sword, he could slash out countless swords!

If one sword didn't kill, slash another!

That's all, nothing more.
