Chapter 487: Execution Immortal Sword Formation
CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487: EXECUTION IMMORTAL SWORD FORMATION
Whoosh~
In the depths of the ethereal soul, a sea comprised of gold coins swirls and surges, forming a gigantic whirlpool in the center, devouring the entire golden ocean as if it were a black hole.
Gold light flickers in Zhu Haomiao’s eyes as the mythic laws of the Original Sin of [greed] operate at full force. A massive quantity of [greed coins] melts into a conceptual authority that stretches along the timeline to borrow strength from his future self.
Buzz~
As endless energy pours in, the overlap region of reality and illusion quakes violently, with ancient and mysterious patterns of a mysterious array appearing out of thin air.
Golden ancient seal runes seem to wriggle like living creatures, forming four complex geometric patterns that cover the sky.
In the center of the geometric patterns, time and space are completely dissolved, revealing chaos visible to the naked eye. Terrifying sword intent of destruction pours out, with sword tips of varied divine light slowly emerging from the chaos.
Seeing the four terrifying immortal swords descending slowly, recognizing the characteristic slaughter divinity, the pupils of the white old man gradually contract, finally condensing to the size of a needle’s eye.
"Execution Immortal Sword Formation..."
"How is this possible? This isn’t the kind of power that should exist within the triple-layered heaven..."
"No! This isn’t real!"
"Only the High Sky Rank has the power to destroy the world, I am the Realm Master, immortal and indestructible!"
In crazed low growls, the old man’s voice becomes increasingly firm, finally murmuring as if self-hypnotizing.
"That’s right! This is false, I deny this reality!"
Accompanied by the power of his words becoming reality, intense ripples arise in the chaotic void, but the four slowly descending immortal swords irresistibly reveal their full forms, showing no signs of dissolving like an illusion.
Seeing the reality diverging from his expectations, with the sharp destruction sword intent closing in rapidly, seeping into his flesh and soul, the white old man’s pupils trembled violently, his expression turning more and more ferociously insane.
"No! This isn’t real!"
"I deny it!"
"Deny it!"
"I am the true reality! These false things can’t harm me!!!"
Gripping the Holy Grail in his hand tightly, the white old man’s spirit light radiated out, directly altering reality from the most fundamental level of existence.
Yet when the spirit light touched the four-colored sword qi, it silently melted and vanished as snow meets the arrogant sun, leaving only faint ripples in the chaotic void.
Coldly watching the white old man’s desperate struggles becoming increasingly frantic, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes remained indifferent, like watching a powerless enraged ant.
"Execute!"
A soft murmur shakes the chaotic void like the judgment of a god, as the four completely descended immortal swords slightly tremble, unleashing pure destruction and slaughter sword qi that annihilated and destroyed the entire overlapping region of reality and illusion.
"Pfft~"
On the ground, Amaterasu coughed up a mouthful of blood, hurriedly withdrawing her Divine Country, not daring to have any further contact.
Grasping the Jade Hook Jade on her chest, Amaterasu looked at the obvious crack within the crystal clear jade stone, gazing up at the sky with lingering fear.
Just the diffuse sword qi inflicted damage on her [country], how terrifying must the damage be on the enemy that was the main target?
Knowing the [Dragon’s Son] was incredibly strong, she still did not expect he could unleash such over-spec power in the triple-layered heaven!
This was beyond what they could withstand at their current rank!
Thoughts turning, Amaterasu suddenly realized, even for beings like her, Gabriel, and Thor, if they disregarded their own limits to forcibly unleash High Sky Rank power, the attack wouldn’t even materialize before they were crushed by the backlash!
The most terrifying thing is, not only can [Dragon’s Son] summon the over-spec [Execution Immortal Sword Formation], but he can also skillfully wield it!
This was what puzzled Amaterasu the most!
To know that as the supreme array dominating Heavenly Dao’s slaughter and destruction, the difficulty of using the [Execution Immortal Sword Formation] ranks among the highest even in the nine-layered heaven.
Even the slightest mistake could cause even the user to be injured by its destruction sword intent, a veritable double-edged sword.
But now, the projections of the four immortal swords [Execute], [Slaughter], [Trap], and [Extinguish] under Zhu Haomiao’s control moved as if his own limbs, obedient as if they were his lifebound divine artifact, with no signs of hardship.
Feeling a chill in her heart, Amaterasu inadvertently recalled the scene back in the First Layer Heaven when Zhu Haomiao wielded the [Xuanyuan Sword] and [Sun-shooting Bow] amongst other national guardian divine artifacts.
At that time, it could be seen he was close to his limits.
But from recordings obtained through certain channels, by the Second Layer Heaven, using the [Pangu Axe], he seemed much more composed.
And now in the Third Layer Heaven, he could even be described as adept!
Not only possessing the capacity to bear the power of the Super Heavenly Position but also the control capacity of the Super Heavenly Position, who throughout history could possess such incomparably monstrous strength simultaneously?
After pondering for several seconds, Amaterasu found that throughout the long river of human history, such beings numbered less than five.
While her thoughts wandered, filled with miscellaneous reflections, the confrontation in the sky had reached its conclusion.
In the chaotic ocean void, the four-colored sword light crushed the protective laws surrounding the white old man little by little, revealing the core of his existence.
Instantly, a shadow of an entire world emerged behind the old man, which was the [realm] he had merged with.
Thus, Zhu Haomiao was faced with two choices: one, to simply and crudely destroy the entire world along with the enemy.
The other, to expend some effort, like performing surgery, to separate the enemy from the Illusion Realm, executing only the main culprit without involving the innocent.
With cold, vast purple-golden pupils, Zhu Haomiao chose the former without hesitation, but just as he was about to employ his sword intent, images of Abe Waka, Marian White, and countless sentient beings flashed through his mind, causing his actions to pause slightly.
"Such foolish compassion..."
With an impatient frown, Zhu Haomiao shifted his Divine Thought, and the rudely invasive destructive sword intent instantly became refined and focused, piercing into the white old man’s body like a surgical scalpel, forming four-colored divine light visible to the eye that snaked "flowing" under his skin.
Under the [Pride] stance of All-Knowing and All-Powerful, the originally impossible [Miracle] became feasible, as the [Realm Master’s] identity, supposed to be eternal once attained, was being stripped away bit by bit, forcibly severing him from the Illusion Realm.
"No! What are you doing?"
As if clutching at a lifeline, the white old man desperately gripped the Holy Grail, letting out hysterical roars, yet his body was completely immobilized by the [Execution Immortal Sword Formation], able only to watch helplessly as the four-colored sword light crawled up his limbs, ultimately concentrating on his head.
"I am redeeming this world."
Gently taking the Golden Holy Grail from his hand, Zhu Haomiao lowered his head, lightly sniffing the rich liquid inside, closing his eyes in indulgence.
After a long while, the black-clad youth opened his eyes, leisurely lifting the Holy Grail, smiling lightly at the white old man.
"Thank you for your sacrifice, I will savor it well."
