Chapter 868: Sixteen Years Old, Finally Becoming a Nascent Soul True Lord

Jiang Ding lightly tapped the sky with his finger, activating the formation technique.

Buzz!

Between heaven and earth, countless thunderbolts suddenly appeared, flashing like electric snakes, far surpassing the heavenly tribulation thunder within the dark storm clouds above...

No!

This was a thunder array world manifesting that was far stronger than the heavenly tribulation storm clouds; countless spirit stones turned to dust, transforming into dragon-shaped bolts of thunder that surged toward the sky, merging completely with the heavenly tribulation clouds!

The heavenly tribulation clouds were intensifying wildly!

This was the formation Jiang Ding had asked someone to arrange in advance.

A Grade Five High-Grade Thunder Array, possessing no offensive or defensive capabilities; its sole function was to amplify the intensity of the heavenly tribulation, exceeding the limits of heaven and earth.

One must know that Heaven and Earth are supremely benevolent, treating everyone fairly; regardless of whether one is noble or lowly, kind or evil, no amount of cursing or praising Him can strengthen or weaken even a single wisp of the heavenly tribulation thunder's power.

Only true and real power can change it!

Zzzz...

Countless thunder dragons surged toward the sky; the nine-thousand-kilometer heavenly tribulation clouds grew darker and heavier, with streaks of cyan and purple electric snakes crisscrossing and blooming. The space was filled with scenes of ionization and melting, shattered and broken, while heaven and earth dimmed as if the final apocalypse had arrived.

Heaven and earth suddenly became ten thousand times heavier.

Even the space itself became incredibly viscous.

Jin Dan cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators found their souls and bodies stiff and immobile under such conditions, unable to move even a fraction; even a Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun here found movement arduous, unable to display any elegance, with a sense of dread rising in their hearts.

"What is going on?"

"Is he committing suicide? Is he about to die? Has this boy lost his reason, influenced by the self-destructive madness instinct of sword cultivators?"

Mieshi Canghai Tianjun felt somewhat panicked in his heart, looking left and right, but no one gave him an answer.

All the Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun stared fixedly at the thunder heavenly tribulation in the sky.

"This is much more interesting..."

Jiang Ding murmured to himself, treating the situation with Solemnity, sensing something.

This was truly a heavenly tribulation capable of killing him!

"However, I will not die; I am strong enough; this is absolutely foolproof."

"I said so!"

Boom!

Jiang Ding summoned the super warship Great Sun, stood on its deck, and while the heavenly tribulation clouds were wildly gathering the power of heaven and earth, he rose upward, upward, and upward again, breaking through layer after layer of terrifying electric snakes.

He crashed straight into the dim, pitch-black storm clouds!

Boom!

In an instant, heaven and earth lit up; world-destroying cyan and purple thunderbolts, containing the endless momentum of heaven and earth, numbering one hundred and eight thousand, shot toward him like sharp spears of heavenly punishment.

Dense and countless, infinite and endless.

Everything was sealed, everything was frozen; the youth became a bird in a cage.

"I cannot withstand this single heavenly tribulation; I will die."

In Jiang Ding's heart, this instinct clearly surfaced; a cold omen spread through his body, freezing it stiff.

Boom!

The wind rose and clouds surged, with lightning flashing!

The Taiching Flying Sword, vibrant and unsheathed, flew out from the magnetized cloud star-destroying cannon barrel that had been refined to the extreme. Passing through eighteen Great Yang electromagnetic prohibitions, its speed increased and increased again, quickly reaching its limit; even a Soul Transformation Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun could only see it vaguely, unable to lock onto it clearly.

"This is still not enough."

Jiang Ding whispered.

Crack!

In this instant, amidst extreme speed, the Taiching Flying Sword flashed with light, taking the step of breakthrough toward the limit of Infant Treasure, rising above the eighteen Great Yang prohibitions into the nineteenth Great Sun Great Yang Divine Prohibition!

This realm is named Primordial Spirit Treasure!

A Primordial Spirit Treasure can merge with the cultivator's soul, mobilizing vast power of heaven and earth at will to kill enemies or defend, with peerless sharpness in attack.

The Taiching Flying Sword was breaking through to become a Primordial Spirit Treasure!

This was not difficult.

One could even say it was too easy, a matter of stretching a leg and spreading an arm.

The Taiching Flying Sword had accumulated too profound a foundation; at the instant Jiang Ding advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, it could break through at any time, with no restrictions remaining.

At this moment, amidst the heavenly tribulation thunder, countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures appeared around the Taiching Flying Sword, melted, and transformed into wispy threads that were inhaled and exhaled by the sword, inscribing rows of rune prohibitions inside the sword body with utmost skill and smoothness; it took almost an instant to take shape, with no difficulty whatsoever.

The nineteenth Great Sun Great Yang Divine Prohibition was formed.

The blue-gold sword body blazed with light!

This was the Primordial Spirit Treasure, the Taiching Flying Sword!

Clang!

Clang-clang!

The clear sound of the sword's cry resonated throughout heaven and earth, spreading across the entire Immortal Gate, omnipresent and all-reaching; almost all Immortal Gate Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun felt an instinctive chill in their hearts, witnessing the birth of a terrifying weapon of slaughter.

At the instant of advancing to a Primordial Spirit Treasure, the Taiching Flying Sword suddenly transformed into light.

She became a beam of light!

There was no longer spatial resistance; space itself was the best propulsion; where seen, there arrived; unstoppable. The moment the sword light appeared, the result was already determined, unable to be changed even a wisp.

This beam of light, centered on Jiang Ding, unfolded a sharp and bright arc of rule-sword.

One hundred and eight thousand cyan and purple thunder spears descended at this moment!

Zzzz!

Hiss-hiss!

Yet there was no explosion; the Taqing Flying Sword was light, and the heavenly tribulation's Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spear was also light.

The two annihilated each other; the Taqing Flying Sword severed one Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spear after another, standing firm within the heavenly tribulation, fearing nothing.

Sword light flickered and leaped; any Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spear approaching within a thousand meters of Jiang Ding vanished instantly.

"The timing is right."

Jiang Ding's face remained calm, showing no relief or surprise; everything was as planned.

He opened his hand; three treasures—the black-and-white chessboard, the Bi Xi bronze statue, and the Shadow-Killing Ten Thousand Poison Blade—these three treasures from three Candidate Daozi, stained with their blood, were casually tossed into the green-purple thunder.

Zzzz...

Beneath the flickering Lei Chong Guang, the three mere Jin Dan-level Candidate Daozi's Ben Ming Fa treasures dissolved silently, utterly fragile; all Ben Ming Fa marks and traces of their soul remnants melted away completely, unable to resist anything.

Amidst the flickering green-purple lightning, the Bi Xi bronze statue and the black-and-white chessboard dissolved and fused together, becoming a fist-sized lump of Xuan Jin Ling Jin, radiating an aura of immortality, supreme rigidity, and supreme strength.

The Brother Xuanwu Tiangong's inherited supreme treasure, Brother Xuanwu Shen Jin!

This all seemed simple, yet it embodied the Dalriada Sword Pavilion and the Immortal Sects' top exploration of material science, the crystallized wisdom and effort of countless Immortal Dao predecessors.

"Nine Heavens Immortal Spirit Sword-Casting Art"!

It was the existence of this Gong Fa that allowed the Brother Xuanwu Shen Jin, already transformed into a Ben Ming Fa, to replicate and return to its source, while also gaining something extremely precious; sacrificed with a Candidate Daozi's life, it transcended mere Brother Xuanwu Shen Jin, elevated by more than half a realm, and became even more suitable for sword forging.

"Brother Xuanwu Shen Jin, supreme energy conduction, supreme sword intent conduction..."

Jiang Ding murmured to himself, looking toward the other side.

The Shadow Demon Candidate Daozi's Shadow-Killing Ten Thousand Poison Blade also dissolved at the same time, becoming a lump of transparent, flawless crystal, shimmering brilliantly, naturally causing one to subconsciously ignore its existence.

Had he not marked it beforehand, this lump of Ling Jin would have instantly melted into the void, harder to detect than a single drop of water in the ocean.

The Shadow Demon Abyss's inherited divine metal, Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Jin!

Possessing supreme concealment ability!

This was a crucial part of Jiang Ding's planned path, providing him with stronger survival capabilities, even aiming for a level where even a Lian Xu Great Expert could not discover him without careful searching.

The universe and starry sky are boundless; even a Lian Xu Great Expert's divine sense range is not infinite. As long as one is not unlucky enough to fall precisely within a Lian Xu Great Expert's divine sense range, even a Lian Xu Great Expert cannot easily capture him!

Thus, safety increases by dozens of times.

"Smelting, swallowing, absorbing..."

Jiang Ding bit his tongue, and over a dozen drops of his refined blood shot out as a blood arrow, landing respectively on the Taqing Flying Sword, the Brother Xuanwu Shen Jin, and the Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Jin, establishing a powerful connection between them.

The two Immortal Sects' inherited divine metals began to fuse, then covered the Taqing Flying Sword without missing a single part of the sword body, before being absorbed by the Taqing Flying Sword and preliminarily integrated into the sword body.

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Taqing Flying Sword darted through the heavenly tribulation, severing one Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spear after another; green-purple Lei Chong Guang exploded, covering the sword body, using the power of the heavenly tribulation to continuously smelt the two Immortal Sects' inherited divine metals, fusing them completely with its own sword body.

On the other side, under the guidance of the Ship Spirit Yun Ri, the super-battleship Dri Ri Hao moved out of the thousand-meter range, charging into the heavenly tribulation thunder; the ship's cannons roared continuously, shattering one Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spear after another, while the ship's own hull continuously endured the tribulation's destruction.

A bolt of green-purple lightning struck down; the deck melted and destroyed, turning into red-hot molten metal, and some parts even vaporized directly, with green smoke curling upward.

One after another, green-purple heavenly tribulation Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spears fell; the super-battleship Dri Ri Hao was soon covered in wounds, with many parts of the hull melting away, forming hole after hole. Yet she remained fearless, her cannons roaring continuously, blasting everything around her, as the aura of her hull gradually changed.

"Slash, slash slash..."

Jiang Ding stood calmly within the thunder cage formed by one hundred and eight thousand heavenly tribulation Lei Ting Thunderbolt-Annihilating Divine Spears.

He simultaneously controlled the Taqing Flying Sword and the super-battleship Dri Ri Hao, facing the heavenly tribulation thunder head-on; his body trembled occasionally, suffering heavy injuries, yet the sword light remained steady, without any tremor, cutting down all the thunder, allowing not a single strand to break through and destroy his relatively fragile Fa Ti.

Endless green-purple Lei Chong Guang flickered; sword light swirled like clouds, ship cannons roared without cease, battling the sky's punishment, fearless, unangered, always calm, cold as a machine.

There was not even the slightest error in his sword techniques; all had reached the extreme in skill, perfectly meeting the sword art standards of the Dalriada Sword Pavilion's Sword Disciple, with no gap remaining.

The youth in green robes fought and killed against heaven and fate amidst the thunder!

This scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds, unforgettable for a long time.

After an unknown duration, the final thunderclap faded, dark clouds dispersed, the heavenly tribulation vanished, and light reappeared between heaven and earth; ten thousand li of cloudless sky.

A youth in green robes stood tall in the sky.

Heat, destruction, law-suppression, and an indestructible will spread throughout heaven and earth; terrifying pressure covered all directions, causing even the Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun to tremble with fear.
