Chapter 949

The Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun revealed his true form and surged forward amid a piercing cry.

In the instant she appeared, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth across thousands of miles instantly froze, then churned, transforming entirely into a world where ice and snow danced.

Heaven and earth fell into an extreme cold, a state that froze everything.

The military formation domains of the three Tushan expeditionary armies froze, becoming stagnant, and many showed expressions of terror.

"I seek death?"

"No, that is not the case."

Jiang Ding did not accept her words; his sword unsheathed with a clashing ring.

Heaven and earth suddenly blazed with light.

The Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain, spanning over sixteen hundred kilometers, unfolded; a sword Dao domain nearly solidified descended at this moment.

In the domain's sky, void sword intent, spiritual void sword intent, sky sword intent, and great void sword intent served as barriers; on the earth, magma sword intent, earth-wood sword intent, and solid stone sword intent served as foundations.

Between earth and sky lay sword intents of spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, bringing flow to the world.

This domain differed clearly from the Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's ice and snow domain.

The Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain possessed sky, possessed earth, possessed rivers, possessed wild winds, possessed the changing seasons, possessed everything a world should have; all composed of various sword intents, it was a nearly complete sword Dao world.

The instant many saw this sword Dao domain, an instinct rose within their hearts.

This was a nascent form of a world in the process of growing.

In comparison, the Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's ice and snow domain was merely an icy plain of mountains and rivers, an extreme cold, resembling the Great Snow Mountain Sacred Land where she was born and raised.

This ice and snow domain had no sky, no earth, no flow; it was merely a land of ice and snow.

"This is..."

The Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, who was furiously attacking and killing, felt a chill in his heart.

Around him, rows of brilliant, scorching sword qi suddenly appeared, containing sword intents of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

The sky turned into various void sword intents; a brilliant Great Sun hung high in the sky, emitting an aura of scorching heat, annihilation, spell prohibition, and distortion, cutting off all flow of heaven and earth's spiritual qi around it.

He was already surrounded by a brilliant, luminous world of sword qi!

The ice and snow domain that should have existed, shielding his surroundings, silently melted, turning into droplets of water that fell to the earth.

Under the sky, a sun-rain fell; rainbows spread everywhere, looking as beautiful as a fairyland of the Sun God.

Within this fairyland, boundless killing intent spread.

The ice and snow domain was fragile; it collapsed at the slightest touch!

One could not even speak of contact or struggle; the Great Sun Annihilation sword intent simply appeared, and then the ice and snow domain vanished into thin air, losing its control over the great trends of heaven and earth and their spiritual qi; that was all.

This complete failure in domain struggle brought terrible consequences.

The Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, transformed into an ice crystal phoenix, had originally become a beam of ice and snow divine light surging forward, his speed incomparably swift, so fast that Nascent Soul cultivators could not see it with the naked eye.

However, now within the Great Sun Annihilation Domain, he had to constantly face temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius and the Great Sun Annihilation sword intent that constantly eroded his primordial spirit.

Every step he took required breaking through thousands, tens of thousands of sword qi blades; the resistance was unimaginable.

The ice crystal light and the Great Sun Annihilation sword qi mutually annihilated each other, creating patches of brilliant light points in the sky.

The speed of the ice crystal phoenix slowed more and more, slowed more and more; within just a few breaths, even Nascent Soul cultivators could see it clearly.

In the end, it came to a complete standstill.

"What domain is this?!"

The Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun cried out in shock.

Around him, layer upon layer of brilliant sword qi rushed toward him; one layer annihilated, another appeared, endless, undying, with no end at all.

All of this was merely a domain; no true strike had been launched.

"You are a mixed-blood phoenix."

Jiang Ding felt some disappointment and instantly understood something.

Jiang Ding felt a bit disappointed and instantly understood something.

A Great Sun rose within the Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain.

Carrying the brilliance of the heavens, carrying annihilation, spell prohibition, destruction, and distortion, he plummeted with terrible pressure toward the ice crystal phoenix bound within the sword qi.

She descended with a thunderous crash, bringing with her a sky full of radiance, ruin, forbidden arts, destruction, and the terrifying pressure of distortion, crashing down upon the ice-crystal phoenix bound within the sword qi.

It was simply a single strike of the Great Clarity Flying Sword.

A single strike layered with sword intent, with sword light splitting, with sword qi thunder-sound, with swords refined into threads, with sword qi that would not perish!

That brilliant Great Sun, its light twisted and flickering, though clearly still far beyond the horizon in the previous instant, in the next instant, carrying terrible light, surged forward in an instant and crashed into the embrace of the ice crystal phoenix.

That brilliant great sun, its light twisting and flickering uncertainly, was clearly still at the edge of the sky in the previous instant; in the next, it had arrived in a flash, carrying terrible radiance, and crashed into the embrace of the ice-crystal phoenix.

The Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun shrieked, unleashing his full strength, condensing it onto a beak sharp as ice jade.

Demons devote their lives to refining their demon bodies, making them more terrifying and sharper than any primordial spirit treasure; he met the blazing sun in the sky with a sudden peck.

This move came from bloodline instinct; it had no grand name, simply a very simple peck.

Just as generations of ice crystal phoenixes hunted azure dragons, simplifying the complex into the simple; a simple action was a great divine technique that countless human sages pondered for a lifetime, requiring opportunity and sudden enlightenment to create.

Just as the ice-crystal phoenixes of past generations hunted the azure dragons, simplifying the complex into the simple: a single, straightforward movement that was a great divine technique countless human sages had pondered over their entire lives, one that required opportunity and sudden enlightenment to create.

The ice crystal phoenix faced the Great Sun, its beak like an ice crystal sharp sword, piercing straight into the Great Sun.

This scene from mythology paused slightly.

This scene from myth hesitated for a brief moment.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion was seen; the thousand-mile Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain boiled, brilliant spiritual light erupted, and sword qi and ice-cold aura raged wildly.

Only the sound of an earth-shattering explosion was seen; the thousand-li great sun shattered the sword domain, causing it to boil, while brilliant spiritual light erupted, with sword qi and icy breath running wild.

The heavens and earth turned into an ice-and-snow world, freezing everything, then instantly became a domain of the Great Sun's destruction, where all things turned to ash under the scorching heat.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, with no stalemate whatsoever, an ice-crystal phoenix the size of a mountain peak spat blood and retreated, smashing violently into the Great Snow Mountain, snapping a thousand-meter peak in half with a crack.

Ice and snow mixed with earth and stone fell to the ground, then were vaporized by the terrifying heat into countless water vapors that scattered in all directions.

In the great crater of the earth, the ice-crystal phoenix's aura instantly dropped a tier; it staggered to its feet, and fear had already appeared in its ice-crystal phoenix eyes.

On her chest, a sharp, scorching sword mark was clearly visible, deep enough to reach the bone.

"I... was wrong!"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was filled with regret, yet did not know what she was saying.

"Weak."

"You are too weak."

Jiang Ding gazed at her: "In legend, a pure-blood True Phoenix is comparable to the child of a True Immortal."

"However, your bloodline is truly too mixed; perhaps you do not even possess two-tenths of a pure-blood True Phoenix's bloodline. Disappointing."

"Master Tushan, do not be so arrogant!"

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun spat another mouthful of blood, using Ice Origin power to suppress the sword wound in her chest, and mocked: "If you were a pure-blood True Phoenix, you would already be dead now, mere ant!"

"That is indeed the truth."

Jiang Ding did not refute; he nodded, acknowledging as such.

Against a pure-blood True Phoenix of the same realm, the moment he saw one, he would have begun burning his essence blood to flee.

There should still be a one or two-tenths chance of escape.

Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was clearly stalling for something, but Jiang Ding did not care.

"Has the person you waited for arrived?"

Jiang Ding looked toward the distant sky.

Buzz!

Buzz-buzz!

From two directions, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth suddenly grew restless.

In one patch of sky, Jin Jia stood.

He was sacred and majestic, as large as a mountain, surrounded by millions of Incense Sword Guards, each holding weapons and banners; a killing aura shot to the heavens. All were heroes from every generation of the Eastern Sea over thousands of years; after death, their incense formed gods, becoming Sword Guards to guard the Incense Divine Court.

In the other patch of sky, countless emerald-green colors with golden threads appeared: the legendary Southern Border poison insects known as Hundred Poison Golden Thread Gu. Their number was likewise millions, forming a vast cloud that obscured the sky.

These two newly appeared Soul Transformation Tianjuns unfolded their domains, joining Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun to suppress the Great Sun Destruction Sword Domain, dimming much of the sword domain's light.

Eastern Sea Xi Ping'an!

Southern Border Friend Friend Baizu Tian Jun!

These two had watched for a long time and pondered for a long time; finally, they chose to act.
