Chapter 967: Why Look Down on Me from Above?

The Daoist who was half-human and half-centipede wore a desolate expression, silent and lost in thought, remaining wordless for a long time.

"Daoist friend, may you grant me one chance?"

Friend Friend Baizu looked up and asked, "I am willing to revere you as my superior and serve you like a dog or a horse."

"This world is vast, entirely sufficient for both of us to cultivate; in the future, we can even walk the path of Soul Transformation and ascension together, at least supporting each other a little."

To revere you as my superior.

Not to serve you as my master.

Jiang Ding's gaze shifted slightly.

Even at this very moment, the half-centipede Daoist before him remained proud, valuing freedom as equal to life itself.

His greatest compromise was becoming someone else's subordinate, not someone else's slave or spiritual pet.

"Daoist Friend Friend Baizu,"

"Make your move."

Jiang Ding avoided answering and slowly drew his sword: "Whether to release or not is too arrogant; after all, you are a late-stage Soul Transformation cultivator, possessing danger and the possibility of killing me, which makes me uneasy."

This was the truth.

At the Soul Transformation stage, he was far from invincible; encountering a Soul Transformation prodigy would instantly put his life in danger, and he was not enough to look down from above.

He was clear about this himself.

Clang~

Accompanied by the sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard, a Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain spanning over sixteen hundred kilometers spread out in all directions.

Various sword intents formed the sky, formed the earth, formed the flow of spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning; over a hundred thousand different sword intents formed a complete world.

As soon as this Sword Dao world appeared, it brought heavy pressure to heaven and earth; countless ultimate truths of the Sword Dao emerged within it, seemingly interpreting heaven, earth, nature, all things, and the cycle of life and death for all sentient beings from the perspective of the Sword Dao.

This Sword Dao domain rolled out, suppressing the four directions.

Rustle, rustle...

At the instant the Sword Dao domain spread, the thousand-plus kilometers around Friend Friend Baizu became hazy, and a domain full of poisonous mist appeared between heaven and earth.

Inside grew all kinds of gu insects, centipedes, venomous snakes, toads, spiders, scorpions... strange and varied, all exotic species from the Southern Border; any single gu insect was a divine gu in the hearts of Southern Border cultivators, and obtaining any one of them could send one soaring, changing life completely.

Ten Thousand Gu Poison Domain!

This was one of Friend Friend Baizu's most proud achievements.

This technique came from his innate bloodline yet transcended the bloodline; it drew upon Soul Transformation scriptures from major human clans and sects, drew upon the secrets of bloodlines from major demon clans, and finally fused into one furnace, forming a domain that far exceeded the domain inherited from the Jin Jia centipede bloodline, and furthermore had a powerful promoting effect on the cultivation and control of gu insects, becoming the Law Domain of the Gu Dao True Scripture.

Friend Friend Baizu had once vaguely felt he had the possibility of integrating this technique into the bloodline inheritance to pass it down to a thousand or a hundred generations of Jin Jia centipedes.

to achieve the great feat that only the most powerful bloodline ancestors of past generations could accomplish.

In an instant, the two domains intersected.

One had sword qi that was bright and brilliant, breaking, prohibiting, and distorting magic;

the other had green poison that was deep and gloomy, with hundreds of millions of gu insects floating up and down, hidden in the formless; with the slightest inattention, they would drill into the body, controlling the soul and flesh, leaving one unable to act autonomously, impossible to guard against, making people turn pale at the sight.

The two domains intersected, fighting for control of heaven and earth's spiritual energy and the momentum of the times.

This result appeared in an instant.

Crack!

The Ten Thousand Gu Poison Domain, upon contacting the Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain for a moment, saw countless dense cracks appear within the poison domain; hundreds of millions of indestructible sword qi rushed to kill, sword rain falling, and the gu insects within the billion poison domain fell rustling, none able to withstand a single strike, all pierced through the skull by agile and terrible sword qi.

This sword qi was like a massacre.

Hiding was useless for the gu insects, defense was useless; upon contact, they would die.

What diamond-like indestructibility, what formless gu, had no effect whatsoever before this bright and brilliant sword qi.

The Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain appeared.

The Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain spread out.

The sword domain covered all the domains of deep green poison, instantly firmly grasping the momentum of heaven and earth and the power to control spiritual energy within a range of sixteen hundred kilometers.

The bright and brilliant Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain formed a momentum of heaven and earth heavier than the ocean, creating terrible pressure that fell upon Friend Friend Baizu, forcing his half-human, half-centipede body to drop several meters straight down; his centipede body, hundreds of meters in size, was compressed by a circle, his figure shrinking and shortening by more than a section.

"Daoist Friend Friend Baizu, your domain still has some novelty."

Jiang Ding commented.

He paid close attention to all new achievements of immortal knowledge containing the wisdom of the Immortal Dao, comparing them with the inheritance in the centipede egg bloodline of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and quickly evaluated.

"However, it is only novel."

Jiang Ding concluded.

"You have talent, but your education is lacking, and you lack a vast and qualified centipede Immortal Dao research system; therefore, the results you produce have spirit, yes, they have spirit, but they are only spirit, not enough to be called a masterpiece; there are too many rough places."

"Master Tushan,"

"Why look down on me from above?"

Friend Friend Baizu said in a low voice: "You, you brat, are merely relying on the inheritance of your ancestors; if I had a stronger centipede ancestor inheritance, my domain would absolutely not be merely this, absolutely not so fragile."

"This..."

"This is not wrong."

Jiang Ding laughed helplessly and admitted it.

"However, the things our human ancestors worked hard to pass down, the treasures left for the children, are they not meant for the children of later generations to show off to enemies?"

"So, you just have to envy me quietly."

Boom!

The sword left the scabbard!

A brilliant Great Sun rose within the thousand-li Sword Dao world.

Its light was brilliant, with hundreds of millions of boundless rays sprinkling across heaven and earth, carrying the terrible aura of annihilation, prohibition of magic, distortion, and destruction.

She met the several-hundred-meter centipede head-on, pressing down from the sky.

Seen from afar,

it was exactly like the Sun God sweeping away the sins of heaven and earth!

"Kill!"

Bai Zu Canghai Tianjun roared in fury.

He formed hand seals in his hands, and the hundred pairs of centipede legs formed hand seals as well.

Accompanied by the buzzing hum of countless insect wings taking flight, one after another of the Southern Frontier legendary gu worms — the Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu — appeared between heaven and earth, numbering in the millions, blotting out the sky.

The mere sound of their wings flapping was louder than Lei Ting itself.

At the center of these gu worms, conspicuously, were three Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu of the Hua Shen Zhong Qi level, each the size of a horse carriage, born with the ability to command the other Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu. They formed a massive gu formation, stacking upon the original Ten-Thousand-Gu Poison Domain, and finally pried open a portion of the world's spiritual energy and the momentum of heaven and earth beneath the suppression of the Great Sun Annihilation Sword Domain.

"Go!"

Bai Zu Canghai Tianjun pointed with one finger.

The million Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu coalesced into shape, forming three divine green-gold lances that pierced through heaven and earth, their spear-tips a deep black hue, containing terrifying toxins, silently dissolving even space itself.

Whoosh!

The three green-gold divine lances shot swiftly toward the great sun falling in the sky, fierce and resolute, looking exactly like the ancient scene of Hou Yi shooting down the suns.

The sun fell.

The three green-gold divine lances condensed from the Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu held on for an instant, piercing straight into the sun.

Then,

Boom!

Boundless light, boundless heat bloomed forth; dozens of li of space were directly dissolved into emptiness, the ocean boiled, water vapor rose, and the dazzling, brilliant spectacle was clearly visible for tens of thousands of li.

Crack!

Beneath this terrifying explosion, the three green-gold divine lances shattered without any suspense, exploding into a skyful of insect body fragments.

Hundreds of thousands of Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu died in an instant!

The three Hua Shen Zhong Qi Hundred-Poison Golden-Silk Gu Kings spat green poisonous blood as they were flung in all directions, their bodies dim and lusterless within the light of the great sun.
