Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 336 Jing Qian's Death - Close-up Attack

This time, [Xuanyuan] showed no mercy and fully demonstrated the true strength of his [Other Shore] Great Sword Cultivator.

Five [Innate Spiritual Treasure] level [Xuanyuan] sword pellets were unleashed, condensing into a five-colored sword light that slashed towards Jing Qian.

This sword light, imbued with the five elements and five symbols, embodies the true essence of ultimate slaughter, inspiring fear in all who behold it.

Locked onto by this sword light, Jing Qian felt as if he had a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

The five ultimate sequences of the Primordial Dao—Slaughter, Annihilation, Freeze, Destruction, and Devouring—are perfectly integrated into the sword light of Xuanyuan, making it an ultimate killing technique.

His pupils suddenly contracted. Before the five-colored sword light even reached his body, the space around him was already violently distorted and vibrated, as if a lake had been dredged up with pebbles.

"town!"

"town!"

"town!"

"town!"

……

Jing Qian shouted angrily!
He seemed to have gone mad, unleashing the full power of the [Suppress] spell.

In the blink of an eye, they obtained eighty-one towns.

The power of the Dao within the [Hongjun Furnace] surged forth, causing it to be consumed rapidly.

The immense suppressive power was forcibly restrained by him, compressed layer upon layer into a small space around his body!
Behind every [Suppressing] spell lies the immense blessing brought by the [Sumeru] dimension.

This caused the space around him to groan in agony, as if it were about to collapse.

Centered on Jing Qian, an invisible and absolutely solidified realm emerged.

This guy, wanting to personally experience the power of the [Xuanyuan] sword light, didn't even bother to dodge.

Isn't this just seeking death?
These [suppression] techniques are only the first line of defense, and naturally they cannot withstand the final sword light of [Xuanyuan].

In the blink of an eye, the space that had been solidified like a rock was completely shattered.

As the five-colored sword light moved forward, nine large furnaces suddenly appeared.

This is Jing Qian's strongest protective spiritual treasure, the Hongjun Furnace, which combines nine elements into one.

These massive furnaces burst open, unleashing boundless [Hongjun Fire] that surged forth, burning towards the [Xuanyuan Sword Light].

But the sword light flashed only slightly, and all nine large furnaces were cleaved away.

The nine [Hongjun Furnaces] were struck with mournful cries, their bodies flashing with chaotic light, before tumbling and flying backwards into the depths of the void.
The surging, boundless [Hongjun Fire] was instantly extinguished and absorbed by the [Freezing] and [Devouring] true meanings within the sword light, failing to hinder the sword light in the slightest.

The power of the [Acquired Spiritual Treasure] is completely insignificant in front of [Xuanyuan].

However, in that split second, the insignificant moment gained through the [Hongjun Furnace] was...

Jing Qian gathered his hands together in front of his chest with the power of the "Transformation" technique, and went towards the sword light, attempting to further weaken its power.

At the same time, eighty-one [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] converged into an incomparably thick sword light, clashing head-on with the [Xuanyuan Sword Light].

It's like a needle against a wheat awn!
"boom!"

Two terrifying sword lights, each capable of cleaving the sky and tearing apart the universe, collided in an instant!

It was as if billions of divine thunderbolts were exploding deep within Jing Qian's soul!
At the point of impact, an extreme darkness and nothingness suddenly expanded, as if even "existence" itself was erased by the clash of these two extreme forces.

Immediately following was an immeasurable burst of light and heat, mixed with shattered Dao runes, annihilated spiritual energy, and the most primal ripples of destruction, which exploded wildly in all directions in a spherical shape!

Jing Qian's [Pangu Body] incorporates defensive [Daoist techniques] such as the [Peaceful Stele], making it his strongest support.

However, under the violent shockwave of the sword light, he was easily blown away.

From the depths of the [Sumeru] dimension, the [Sumeru True Water] gushed forth like a floodgate being opened.

It was watering the nascent [Spiritual Treasure] embryo that was being nurtured within it.

The foundation of the [Sumeru] dimension surged accordingly!

However, the difference in their realms, and the degree of their understanding and integration with the Great Dao, became unmistakably apparent at this moment.

While Jing Qian's Zhuxian Sword Light was indeed fierce and powerful, its power was more inclined to be a combination of "technique" and "array". Although quantitative change led to qualitative change, it ultimately lacked the "Daoist charm" that was naturally perfect and pointed directly to the origin of the Great Dao.

The hastily put-together [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] is truly top-notch at crushing noobs!
But when it came to [Xuanyuan], it was like a glass wine bottle.

The five-colored sword light of [Xuanyuan] is a perfect fusion of five innate ultimate paths, and each ray of light carries the inevitable principle that the universe will decline and all things will return to silence.

Moreover, each of the five [Innate Spiritual Treasure] sword pellets had been refined to its extreme by [Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor], making their power even greater.

The two sword lights collided, like a red-hot blade cutting into solidified butter, or like molten lava flowing into an icy river.

The massive and powerful sword light of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword began to disintegrate and dissolve inch by inch the moment it came into contact with the five-colored sword light!
[Slaughter] against [Slaughter], Jing Qian's sword intent was completely overwhelmed by the purer and more fundamental true meaning of the Great Dao!
It lasted for less than a breath before the Zhuxian Sword Light, which had gathered Jing Qian’s immense effort and power, began to collapse from the point of impact.

Finally, it let out a mournful cry of unwillingness, and completely exploded, turning into countless sharp sword energy fragments that shattered the already broken void around it, making it even more fragmented.

After the five-colored sword light broke through Jing Qian's strongest attack, its brilliance only dimmed slightly, but the ultimate truth it contained became even more condensed.

The sword light, instead of diminishing in momentum, intensified, carrying a cold indifference that judged all things and sent everything to its doom, and continued to strike down brilliantly towards Jing Qian's body, who had already exhausted all his means!

Jing Qian's Pangu Body trembled violently under the impact of the sword light's aftershocks, and countless fine cracks appeared on its surface, resembling a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

As he gazed at the unstoppable, ever-approaching five-colored radiance, a hint of barely concealed fear finally flashed in his eyes.

And... a sense of satisfaction from witnessing the ultimate kendo.

He personally experienced the terror of the sword cultivators of the Other Shore and also felt the ruthlessness of the final Dao.

But the price seems too heavy.

The five-colored sword light, carrying a sense of destiny that would end everything, killed him with a single strike.

The fleeting sense of satisfaction that had just appeared in Jing Qian's eyes was completely swallowed up by the boundless torrent of destruction.

His Pangu Body was the first to be affected. That powerful body, capable of shaking stars and bearing all laws, was like thin ice under the scorching sun in front of the sword light of the end. Starting from the head, it disintegrated inch by inch, turning into the finest primordial particles, which were mercilessly annihilated by the true meaning of devouring and annihilation contained in the sword light.

The speed of disintegration far exceeded expectations; neck, chest, limbs...

That enormous body, containing the power to create the world, vanished rapidly amidst the five-colored radiance, like a sketch erased by an invisible eraser.

"Ugh—!"

An extreme pain, stemming from the severing of the Great Dao's origin and the erasure of the concept of existence, swept over Jing Qian's divine consciousness.

Moreover, it wasn't just Jing Qian's present-day body that was killed by [Xuanyuan].

He clearly saw that all possibilities of his past, present, and even future were converging on an irreversible end under the intertwining of those five ultimate paths. [Xuanyuan]'s sword light could be described as utterly ruthless!
Normally, Jing Qian is already a [Time Sequence] cultivator. His present-day body has been severed, so as long as he uses [Time Sequence Refresh], he can step out of the past.

But Xuanyuan's sword light was so powerful that it attempted to obliterate all his chances of resurrection.

During Jing Qian's promotion to the first rank, he established the "Eye of the Year Rings" as an anchor point in the past.

In the future, we will erect the [Sumeru Great Way Stele] as an anchor point.

With these two powerful anchors in place, his [Time-Sequence Refresh] is virtually unbreakable.

However, under the sword light of [Xuanyuan], his [Eye of the Age Rings] was actually knocked away by a single sword strike, forcibly piercing from the past into the present world.

Then, [Xuanyuan] changed the direction of the sword light and slashed towards the future.

If the anchor point occupied by the [Sumeru Great Road Stele] is also destroyed.

Jing Qian is probably really going to die!
Just as the five-colored sword light cleaved through the [Eye of Time], carrying the supreme ferocity that obliterates all traces of time, it fiercely slashed towards the [Monument to the Great Dao of Sumeru] of the future.

In a chaotic and uncertain region of the future, boundless brilliance suddenly erupted.

A dusty gray stone tablet quietly appeared.

Jing Qian's last incarnation of time stood beside the stone tablet, gazing toward the source of the sword light.

If this avatar is destroyed by the sword light, his [Time Refresh] will be completely useless.

At that time, the only way to return is through the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Incarnation].

Comparatively, the cost of reviving is much higher.

Facing the sword light, he felt no fear whatsoever, only eagerness and anticipation.

"clang!"

The five-colored sword light struck the phantom of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], but the sound it produced was not the clang of metal clashing.

A more magnificent, more essential roar, as if two different cosmic laws were violently colliding!

The ultimate truth contained within the sword light attempts to sever the connection between the Great Dao Stele and the future, and to cut it back into the present world.

However, the area occupied by the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] is an absolutely indestructible safe zone.

It actually withstood the sword light of [Xuanyuan]!

Let you slaughter across the land, I will remain unmoved, using infinite dimensions of time and space to disperse your sharpness.
Let all things perish, my monument will stand firm in the future; it is itself a symbol of "existence," unmoved by annihilation.
No matter how you freeze all laws, I contain the power of countless worlds' birth and death. Movement and change are its foundation, and even the power of freezing cannot completely imprison me.
No matter how destruction comes, I am rooted in the infinite variables of the future. Each stele is a boundless world. Destroy one stele and ten thousand stele will light up simultaneously in other timelines.
No matter how much you devour, I, [Mount Sumeru], can contain it within a mustard seed and still evolve into the heavens. What you devour is but a drop in the ocean of my immeasurable spacetime foundation!
This area of ​​the future timeline is in complete turmoil, with the river of time surging with towering waves, and countless tributaries of possibility being born and annihilated in the collision.

The five-colored sword light was incomparably sharp, and the ultimate true meaning was domineering and unparalleled. It continuously eroded and destroyed the spacetime scene evolved by the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], but the illusory image of the stele remained unmoved.

It managed to block it in the end!
It is precisely because of this that Jing Qian's incarnation, standing beside the Great Dao Monument, is no longer subject to the calamity of falling, and he can be resurrected from time at any time.

At this moment, he was also quite excited!

Even the sword light of [Xuanyuan], which gathered the five [Innate Spiritual Treasures], could not break through the protection of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele].

Wouldn't that make him incredibly awesome?
As long as he uses the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] to protect one of his time avatars, his [Time Refresh] will not be broken.

He will thus gain eternal immortality!

He suddenly had a burst of inspiration and came up with a lot of ways to play that would lead to certain death, which he could try one by one later.

The relief of surviving the ordeal lasted only a moment before being replaced by a more intense and unrestrained excitement.

Standing beside the immovable [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], feeling the "absolute safety" that even the [Xuanyuan] final sword light could not completely shake, Jing Qian, the incarnation of time, had an unprecedented light in his eyes.

Right now, Ancestor Xuanyuan has already shown his true abilities to traverse the void.

This sword light was incredibly powerful.

However, Xuanyuan could never have imagined that no matter how strong his sword light was, from the moment he failed to kill Jing Qian, that sword light no longer entirely belonged to him.

With a turn of his body, Jing Qian used the power of [Sumeru] to walk out of the safe zone.

He did not linger in the river of time, but directly completed the [Time Sequence Refresh] and returned to the present world.

When he reappeared above the arena, the [Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor] below was staring at him with a hint of surprise.

Xuanyuan certainly knew how Jingqian dodged his sword light.

Even with his discerning eye, he found the rather peculiar stone tablet quite astonishing.

This junior disciple of his was far more capable than he had imagined.

But before [Xuanyuan] could make another move, something even more astonishing happened.

The kid above reached into the past and, after some searching, actually pulled out the sword light that he had just unleashed!
Jing Qian used the same tactics against him, and arrogantly declared that he would use the sword light of [Xuanyuan] to kill [Xuanyuan]!
Isn't that just a direct, face-to-face attack?

He unleashed the borrowed sword light without any hesitation.

This scene is truly an unprecedented spectacle!
Jing Qian stood in the void, his face pale. He had obviously forcibly "borrowed" this terrifying sword light from the past, which was a great burden for him.

But the light in his eyes was as fierce as fire, a kind of madness and pleasure that broke the rules and trampled on common sense!
"Ancestor!"

He let out a long laugh, his voice slightly hoarse, yet filled with unbridled joy.

"Let's test the sharpness of this sword!"

[Xuanyuan] was not surprised but laughed instead:
"Good boy!"

"It can actually manipulate time and use force against force!"

Faced with the familiar sword light that was slashing towards him, [Xuanyuan] neither dodged nor used any other means.

He laughed loudly, pointed his fingers like a sword, and gently touched the five-colored rainbow that was rolling back.

The roaring five-colored sword light, when it was still a hundred feet away from [Xuanyuan], seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, losing its most fundamental "spirituality" and "support", and suddenly became sluggish and chaotic.

The five ultimate paths that were originally perfectly integrated within the sword light suddenly showed signs of repulsion and separation!
At Xuanyuan's fingertips, a wisp of purer, more refined sword light, seemingly containing the source of the five-colored end, shone forth.

Instead of confronting it head-on, he used his unparalleled swordsmanship to directly activate and summon the most essential element of the five-colored sword light, the "Xuanyuan Mark"!
"Disperse."

A soft shout, as if words had become law.

The sword light that Jing Qian borrowed from the past then completely dissipated.

[Xuanyuan] then looked at Jingqian and said again:

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to me."
