Chapter 1674: Chapter 1642: The Invincible Below Heavenly Beings

Ashes.

Great ash.

Endless white ashes.

This is the blood, bones, and flesh of living beings, turning into ashes under the sunlight, drifting with the wind, spreading across the domain’s sky, at one point even obscuring the clouds in the sky, turning the heavens gray and dim.

These blood and flesh sky demon puppet Taoist soldiers were already dead.

They had been tormented for countless years, existing between sentience and non-humanity, infused with the Immortal Artifact Sect’s high-level immortal techniques, allowing them to manipulate the formation method as flexibly and precisely as living beings without burdening the array master. Moreover, they lacked all the fears, confusions, and selfish desires of living beings, easily achieving the state of ‘all hearts united’ for Taoist soldiers, having no self anymore.

At this time, death was merely liberation, representing the end of endless torment.

This scene of blood bones turning into ashes, spreading across the world, covering the sun, evokes boundless fear, as if one has arrived at the end of the world.

Countless scouts from immortal sects felt a chill in their hearts, trembling continuously.

Pure Yang Sword Child, too fierce!

Although sword cultivators value slaughter, a sword cultivator who massacres so many living beings at once is extremely rare. Seeing this scene and looking towards the future, they seem to see endless bloodshed in the future upper realm.

Clang!

Jiang Dingjian sheathed his sword.

He reached out with a gesture, and a puppet of a female cultivator with an icy jade-like body appeared in his hand.

This was the lifebound puppet of the Heavenly Inquiry Inheritance from the Immortal Artifact Sect, also her escape trump card. If the sword had been slightly slower, this puppet would have shattered, appearing at the Immortal Artifact Sect’s mountain gate, considered the top death-substitute treasure, profound and unfathomable.

Magic cultivation is thus extremely hard to kill.

Alas, she was too weak.

Weak to the point that, under one sword, she didn’t even have a chance to react, her divine soul was obliterated, and no backup plan could be executed. The lifebound puppet was split in two from the brow to the body, losing all spirituality.

This petite puppet still held a powerful jade talisman in its hand, which was also now dim.

This was the life-saving trump card granted by the Immortal Artifact Sect’s heavenly man to the Heavenly Inquiry Inheritance, yet it too was rendered useless before activation.

The Heavenly Inquiry Inheritance really shouldn’t have confronted a Taoist disciple head-on.

Mere inheritance disciple as she was, the moment she encountered an enemy Immortal Sect Sword Son, she should have activated her elders’ life-saving talisman to escape; only in this way might she have survived.

This is the proper approach for an immortal sect inheritance disciple when meeting an enemy Taoist disciple.

Not to fancy fighting.

Moreover, even activating the elders’ life-saving talisman only might have allowed escape.

An Immortal Sect Disciple was potentially capable of escaping in the hands of a true heavenly man’s pursuit, reviving under their hunt, making a mere heavenly man talisman possibly futile if the Taoist disciple had patience.

This is why the Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciple and quasi-immortal clan’s legitimate offspring are so important.

They embody the sect’s foundation itself, invincible below super-rank enemies, and are indomitable units, almost impossible to harm by non-Taoist disciples and non-super-rank enemies.

“This magic tool embryo’s material,”

“Is Upper Qing Lingbao Sect’s inheritance divine gold, eighth-rank Upper Qing sky-falling meteor iron…”

The profound golden patterns in Jiang Ding’s pupils flickered and disappeared, transforming into two Datatru Sunfire flames blending into the magic tool embryo above, inherited from the Immortal Artifact Sect’s Heavenly Inquiry lifebound spirit puppet.

Sizzle…

The indestructible eighth-rank magic tool embryo almost instantly melted under the Datatru Sunfire invoked by the “Sun Sacrifice Sword Technique (Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold Version)”, unable to resist the refinement of the quasi-ninth order sword embryo, strands of light blue smoke rising, representing parts deemed unsuitable for Taiqing Flying Sword in the sword technique’s judgment.

Soon, this inherited divine gold Upper Qing sky-falling meteor iron lifebound spirit puppet was thoroughly refined, devoured, with all hidden mechanisms, restrictions, and positioning magic instantly cleared away, leaving only the purest essence absorbed by the Taiqing Flying Sword, which enhanced slightly.

“Now,”

“Three more domains!”

After completing this, Jiang Ding ignored the numerous still living beings around, as silencing them was unnecessary.

He didn’t even glance at the storage treasures, potentially hidden with aces by the surrounding Harmonization Divine Monarchs, leaping into radiant sunlight, radiantly illuminating the heavens and earth, disappearing instantly.

Escape!

Completely exposed now, the only way to survive was to flee!

As long as he escaped into the Central Domain before the appearance of a powerful figure from the Immortal Artifact Sect or Great Yin Yang Sword Realm, or another immortal sect heavenly man, he could completely disappear into the vast ocean, vanishing without a trace, unless actively revealing himself, no one could drag him out!

Crack!

Then, a crisp sound emerged from the ground.

It came from the jade talisman held by the lifebound spirit puppet of the Heavenly Inquiry Inheritance, which now shattered on its own, radiating light, transforming into strands of transparent cause and effect destiny silk, penetrating instantly into space, integrating into the rules, carrying an invisible murderous intent towards an unknown distant place.

“Courting death!”

“Old thing, how dare you!”

In the distant horizon, the radiant sunlight shone again, revealing a murderous green-clothed youth within: “This Monarch has already spared your jade talisman, what more do you want?”

“You’re merely a mere escape talisman, how dare you attack this Monarch?”

“You truly wish to die!”

Clang!

The green-clothed youth drew his sword.

This time, entirely different from the casual strike against the Heavenly Inquiry Inheritance.

When the sword unsheathed, the celestial phenomena changed for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, flashes of lightning and thunder, dark clouds gathered, countless golden-thread raindrops fell from the sky, spreading across the universe, covering heaven and earth, leaving no excess space.

Drip,

Drip,

Misty fine rain, carrying fog, reminiscent of arriving at Jiangnan rain town, imbued with poetic charm, yet lacking much offensiveness.

But in the eyes of sword dao masters, this was a terrifying sword domain!

Bang bang bang!

Boom!

In this poetic water town, something was exposed, transparent puppet silk threads, like cause and effect, soft and weak, but these transparent threads, upon touching raindrops, clashed like planets colliding, earth-shattering, instantly annihilating countless spatial rules, everything within vanished.

That Jiangnan water town rain domain contained terrifying resistance, blocking even the attacks of heavenly man talismans.

Just at the moment of contact, more than half of the transparent threads collapsed, the remaining tens of thousands of transparent cause and effect threads condensed into a spear aimed at the green-clothed youth’s brow, intending to pierce through him with cause and effect in the void, slaughtering him on the spot.

“I have already said.”

“Mere escape talisman…”

Jiang Ding said coldly.

He swung his sword, a slash, countless golden-thread raindrops converging at the sword edge, flashing by.

Clink!

The cause and effect spear was blocked by a sharp gold light, both clashing tens of thousands of times instantly.

Countless destructive ripples spread in all directions, and the cause and effect spear formed by the transparent puppet threads ultimately was just a talisman, lacking follow-up power, and after a strike with the Taiqing Flying Sword, exhausted all energy, collapsing by itself.
