Chapter 1096: Winds and Clouds Gather (2)

It's just a move, the most ordinary Five Elements Great Capture.

Using one's own mana to draw the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, transforming it into a giant hand to seize the enemy.

With Wu Tie casually performing this Five Elements Great Capture, at most it can capture targets within a radius of ten thousand li nearby.

However, after breaking through his cultivation realm and shattering the massive divine formation that the gods had sealed Mu Dalu with, this divine ability underwent a tremendous change.

Wu Tie's mana was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake.

A ripple arose, spreading outward in all directions.

Before the ripple subsided, at its edge the calm water surface seemed to sense the pebble's fall, and new ripples undulated layer by layer; then, at the edge of the newly born ripples, yet another ripple spread out.

Using just a thread of mana, he performed the most ordinary Five Elements Great Capture, yet it resonated with Mu Dalu's heavenly and earthly laws from afar.

Countless powerful Five Elements Great Captures appeared simultaneously above the firmament, grasping hundreds of millions of Sun Gold Wheels and crushing them all at once.

Throughout the skies of Mu Dalu, even at distances so remote that Wu Tie could not sense them even with all his strength, every Sun Gold Wheel was shattered.

A gust rose, and clusters of shattered Sun Gold Wheel fragments were blown before Wu Tie.

Wu Tie laughed, and the holy sword he kept hidden in his sleeve trembled violently, emitting a joyful sword hum.

Wu Tie examined closely; the main material of these Sun Gold Wheels was pure yang, utmostly rigid Sun Gold Copper—a metal nearly identical to the essence of the sun, extremely precious and exceedingly hard to refine.

Only Sun Gold Copper can continually absorb true solar fire in the void, condensing into Sun Gold Shuttles that threaten the entire human race of Mu Dalu.

And the human holy sword in Wu Tie's hand is precisely made primarily of Sun Gold Copper, which allows it to bear the vast, expansive, pure yang righteous qi, to condense the indomitable will of humanity, and to draw forth the mighty, surging righteous power of heaven and earth!

"Let you eat your fill!" Wu Tie burst out laughing.

A golden brilliant sword light flew from his sleeve, then transformed into a golden giant sword several dozen zhang long, hovering above Wu Tie's head.

Heaps upon heaps of Sun Gold Copper continuously flew toward the golden giant sword, continually merging into its body.

Wu Tie exhaled a stream of pure true solar fire, aiding the golden giant sword in smelting the absorbed Sun Gold Copper, while simultaneously releasing the merit gold wheel behind him, continually providing him with an endless stream of merit power.

The volume of the golden sword began to surge.

Several dozen zhang long…… tens of zhang long…… over a hundred zhang long…… several hundred zhang long……

After the golden sword had consumed for two or three hours, swallowing all the remnants of the Sun Gold Wheels, it had swollen to over a million li long, tens of thousands of li wide, and thousands of li thick.

At the center of the massive golden sword, as Wu Tie continually infused merit power, a section of the blade several zhang in size flickered with exceedingly complex seal patterns, countless powerful ancient seals incessantly spewing blinding golden light.

Thereafter, these seal patterns spread like a flood, beginning to extend in all directions across the golden sword.

Relying on Wu Tie's backing, this human holy sword boldly chose the most brutal, savage evolution pattern—regardless of the details, first devouring all evolutionary materials, tempering its own blade to the utmost colossal extreme, then inscribing divine formations, divine patterns, and various seals, forging the newly massive sword body to be indistinguishable from the original.

"Size is power, size is aesthetics, weight is justice, weight is truth." Jing Jiu sincerely marveled: "This is the Man Shen Tribe's sole understanding of divine artifacts... I never expected, Your Majesty, that your forging philosophy would coincidentally align with the Man Shen Tribe's."

Wu Tie gave Jing Jiu an annoyed sideways glance.

Is this Wu Tie's forging philosophy? Wu Tie himself has no forging philosophy at all; he's always just been gambling and tinkering blindly.

This incredibly massive holy sword is also his own chosen evolutionary direction, having nothing whatsoever to do with Wu Tie!

Under the push of immeasurable merit, the complex divine patterns spread rapidly inside and outside the holy sword.

In just a quarter of an hour, the holy sword stretching a million li became densely covered throughout with complex divine pattern seals.

Then, the massive sword body began to shrink.

Countless divine seal patterns began to collide, rub, fuse, and derive.

Wu Tie was not unfamiliar with this process... his Slaughter Sword Seal was formed by fusing all the dao seals he had comprehended that were related to slaughter and destruction.

He placed both hands on the massive sword body, quietly sensing the changes occurring within those ancient, miraculous seals inside the blade.

Then, in Wu Tie's mind, a second sword silhouette silently emerged.

If one says, the sword seal Wu Tie comprehended and condensed through the four ferocious weapons represents 'slaughter and destruction'.

Then, the second sword seal he is currently condensing represents 'Heaven and Earth's Proper Way'.

Between heaven and earth, all righteous, upward, unyielding, just dao rhythms—including all of humanity's positive, proactive soul forces—are fully gathered in this sword seal.

The sidearm sword carried by the ancient human emperors of mankind was originally a 'sage' sword, a 'justice' sword, a 'reward good punish evil' sword, and a 'peaceful non-aggression' sword.

Wu Tie's accumulated immeasurable merit was again depleted by roughly thirty percent.

The radiant golden holy sword compressed back to about nine chi in length; Wu Tie, who stands one zhang six chi tall, grasped it in his hand, and it fit him perfectly.

Having absorbed an unknown amount of Sun Gold Copper, the holy sword's weight is absolutely an astronomical figure, yet in Wu Tie's hand it feels light as wick ash, utterly weightless.

Wu Tie even wondered whether, if this sword were to slash an enemy, it could possibly have any lethal power at all.

Perhaps this is the quality a human holy sword ought to possess—appearing without a trace of sharpness, showing no ferocity, yet once unleashed, the sun and moon lose their light, heaven collapses and earth splits.

"Divine objects conceal themselves; a fine sword."

Wu Tie praised the holy sword in his hand.

Four strands of chaotic sword light flickered in Wu Tie's sleeve; with a 'ga—' sound, the left sleeve where he hid his sword was torn open by four huge rifts.

Wu Tie remained silent, merely shaking his head.

Jing Jiu then exclaimed: "Divine objects possess spirit... truly enviable. Our Tian Jing Divine Clan—no, the divine artifacts forged by all the gods—are extremely rare, extremely rare to have such sentient existence. For example, our Tian Jing Battle Star requires me to preside over the Tian Jing Secret Hall to exert its utmost power."

His face wrinkled, Jing Jiu murmured: "This is because we are too stupid, so our divine artifacts also..."

Wu Tie smiled without speaking, and whether it was the holy sword in his hand or the four ferocious weapons hidden in his sleeve, upon hearing Jing Jiu's words they all emitted a joyful, ringing sword cry.

Delighted, these five swords were delighted to the utmost.

Wu Tie swept his large sleeve, and the hundreds of thousands of god slaves just captured by the Five Elements Great Capture, who were responsible for maintaining those Sun Gold Wheels, were all scooped up in his sleeve.

He grabbed Jing Jiu's shoulder and laughed loudly: "Let's go, we've already delayed quite a bit... let's go... huh, what are we doing?"

Wu Tie was about to employ an escape technique to move away when he suddenly gazed down at the boundless ocean.

On the ocean, a massive human fleet was pursuing patches of connected white floating clouds in a frenzied assault, both sides fighting with killing intent soaring to the heavens, occasionally corpses and shattered warship fragments raining down.

"The human allied army is attacking the heavenly court? How interesting—Public Sun Yao, is this him becoming enraged out of shame?"
