Chapter 83: Immortal Execution Sword Formation
"Then I shall not stand on ceremony!!"
Tongtian wielded his sword, returning once more to his high-spirited appearance.
Wherever his sword finger pointed, the entire world was enveloped by a massive diagram.
The four swords within it, moreover, transformed into the four great formation eyes to suppress it.
"Tongtian!!"
Taiqing Saint had been searching for an opportunity on the sidelines, but when Tongtian unfurled the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, he unexpectedly shut him out.
Taiqing Saint could not help but feel frantic; he had painstakingly sought a chance to strike, yet Tongtian seemed not to understand his intentions at all.
"Eldest Brother, after this battle, the three of us in the Three Pure Ones are considered even!!"
Before Tongtian stepped into the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, he looked back at Taiqing Saint.
The Three Pure Ones.
In truth, they had long existed in name only.
Had the Witch-Demon Calamity not dragged on, they would have long since gone their separate ways.
It was not that Tongtian did not know.
On the contrary.
He knew everything; it was just that affection remained in his heart, and he had simply not wanted to quibble over it.
But upon seeing the Sword Dao provided by Dijiang, he understood.
From this day forth.
Whether he lived or died, it was time for him to break free from the cage of the Three Pure Ones.
Only without this bond could he truly be himself.
"You!!"
Taiqing Saint was so angry he blew into his beard and glared.
He had not expected that at such a critical juncture, Tongtian would actually split from them.
Although they had already split from the day they became Saints.
Yet, saying it aloud and not saying it were two completely different things.
Now Yuanshi was dead.
If he were still to fight alone, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.
However, Taiqing Saint did not want to give up so easily; he wanted to wait for Tongtian to come out.
It was not to protect Tongtian, but to see how badly Tongtian could wound the opponent.
If the wound was not heavy?
Possessing the Taiji Diagram, relying on the Golden Bridge, and with his own many methods, he might not be unable to escape this place.
If the wound was heavy.
Hmph hmph!! Then he would have to completely end this Witch-Demon Calamity and pocket the massive merit.
After all, the heavenly secrets were currently in chaos, and the great trend was ominous.
Even Tiandao Hongjun had personally entered the fray, and the Earthly Dao had emerged.
Now, Saints interfering in the Great Calamity had also become a very common occurrence.
"No wonder it is said that it cannot be broken without four Saints!!"
Dijiang, standing within the Immortal Execution Formation, looked at the blood-red sky all around.
Here.
Even the air tasted of sword Qi.
The most critical point was that this Immortal Execution Formation Diagram could actually fabricate heaven and earth.
Creating a world—any Saint who had mastered the four primordial powers of Earth Fire Water Wind could do it.
But that would be a small world.
A world that could only exist by relying on the great world.
Yet now, inside this Immortal Execution Sword Formation, it was completely an independent sword realm.
The Sword Dao Laws within it, if one could count them, numbered at least over four hundred.
It was a pity that most of them were achieved by the four swords and the Immortal Execution Formation Diagram with the aid of the Heavenly Dao.
This was not Tongtian's strength.
It was given by the Heavenly Dao.
A Heavenly Dao Saint.
This was the first time Dijiang had truly faced this power.
Inside his own Pangu Hall, no Heavenly Dao Saint could borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao.
But Tongtian was different.
It seemed Hongjun had done something to these Immortal Execution Four Swords.
They could actually connect to the Heavenly Dao even across the Pangu Hall.
"In today's battle, I shall take the path of the flying sword to its end!!"
As he spoke, Tongtian actually began to burn his Saint position.
"Good, I respect you as a man of character."
As he spoke, a long spear appeared in Dijiang's hand.
"God-Slaying Spear!!"
Upon seeing this spear, Tongtian's eyes narrowed slightly.
One must know that this spear is, after all, an object belonging to Luo Hou.
Now Luo Hou has been resurrected, and has become the Lord of the Earthly Dao.
But why would the God-Slaying Spear appear in the hands of Dijiang?
Moreover, after the clash just now, Tongtian knew.
Dijiang was absolutely not in a state of being controlled by Luo Hou, and the sword strike he displayed completely astonished Tongtian.
He prided himself on having practiced the Sword Dao for countless ages, especially after becoming a Saint, when he poured his heart into the Immortal Execution Sword Formation.
Yet only now did he realize that he had a treasure in his hands, but simply did not know how to cherish it.
"Tongtian, you only have the chance to unleash one strike!!"
Dijiang also looked at Tongtian with appreciation.
He is different from both Yuanshi and Taiqing.
Although he is also a Heavenly Dao Saint.
He still possesses a sliver of moral integrity.
Regardless of whether it is the great vows he made or the reason of his personality.
Just for this point, it is worth Dijiang giving him respect.
He will not be like how he toyed with Nuwa.
Wanting to slowly play her to death.
Nor will he be like how he targeted Yuanshi, destroying one dharma treasure after another, completely crushing him.
Dijiang will give Tongtian sufficient respect.
Therefore.
Dijiang will use his full strength.
With the God-Slaying Spear in hand, the power of two thousand dharma tribulations condensed.
A terrifying aura emerged spontaneously, and that overbearing power caused even the Immortal Execution Sword Formation to emit creaking sounds.
It was as if it were a bamboo pole unable to bear the weight, appearing as though it would be snapped by the pressure in the next second.
"One strike?"
"That is enough!!"
Tongtian began to laugh.
Ever since becoming a Saint.
Aside from watching over his disciples in Biyou Palace.
He had not been this happy for a long time as he was today.
As if he had cast off his shackles, Tongtian felt his body and mind were clear.
In this instant, he had a new realization regarding his understanding of the word "intercept."
He also had a new perception of his own Sword Dao.
While speaking.
All the law power within the space of the Immortal Execution Four Swords condensed into a single strand of sword light.
The Immortal Execution Four Swords vanished, ultimately transforming into a single strand of Immortal Execution sword Qi.
And the sky-filling Immortal Execution Sword Formation seemed to lose its color in an instant.
"Kill!!"
Seeing that Tongtian's aura had already brewed to its peak.
Dijiang also held the God-Slaying Spear, carrying an indomitable momentum.
He transformed into a ray of light, crashing toward the Immortal Execution sword Qi.
Whether it was the Immortal Execution Sword Formation or the God-Slaying Spear, their quality was much the same.
Now, under the urging of their two masters, they displayed a level exceeding the past.
Chir-la!!!
The void was severed, and time stood still.
In this instant.
All power seemed to have vanished.
Tongtian stood with his hands behind his back, back-to-back with Dijiang.
At this moment, neither of the two spoke.
They just stood there quietly.
"I have lost."
After a long while.
Tongtian turned his head to look at Dijiang's back.
"You did not lose unjustly."
Dijiang did not turn around.
"I saw a familiar shadow on you."
The corners of Tongtian's mouth could not help but curl up, as if he had thought of something interesting.
"I will surpass him."
Dijiang understood Tongtian's meaning in an instant.
"I am truly looking forward to it; perhaps the next time we meet, I may no longer be myself."
Tongtian's figure gradually became blurred.
That strike just now had already burned the Saint position to nothing.
He, at this moment, seemed to have already seen the Heavenly Dao beckoning to him.
That was why Tongtian had spoken such inexplicable words.
"Have you never thought about stripping your Primordial Spirit away from the Heavenly Dao?"
Seeing that Tongtian was about to vanish.
Dijiang released the power of his Dharma Tribulation, temporarily locking his consciousness in place.
"Is this the method you used to make Teacher Hongjun suffer a secret loss??"
Feeling the power upon his consciousness, Tongtian could not help but reveal an interested expression.
