1435 Chapter 1430, sword against the Heaven (first update)
It was quiet outside Lingxiao Palace. After a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
The founding emperor sat still. His eyes were still closed and he did not open them. Heavenly venerate Hao’s injuries had not fully recovered. Even with Taisu’s help, he did not dare to go against him.
“There are three heavenly venerates left in the heaven, concubine Yan, heavenly venerate Hao, and heavenly venerate gong. Heavenly venerate Hao has retreated, but when he returns, there will be three heavenly venerates working together.”
Founding Emperor thought to himself, ‘heavenly venerate mu said that concubine Yan has ancient god Taiji’s help, and heavenly venerate hao has ancient god Taisu’s help. He wants me to seriously injure heavenly venerate gong. He really thinks highly of me.’
He placed his right hand on the hilt of the carefree sword. He did not seem to use any strength, but veins were already popping out. He heard the sound of footsteps. It was the footsteps of a woman.
He had already clenched his little finger on the hilt, followed by his ring finger, middle finger, and index finger.
Outside the Skyscraping Hall, heavenly venerate gong strode into the hall. His pupils constricted as his gaze landed on the headless body of the ancient god Celestial Emperor and the head that had fallen to the side.
On the emperor’s throne, founding emperor opened his eyes. He pressed his thumb on the hilt of the sword and pulled it out with a clang. The sound of the sword resonated throughout the skyscraping hall.
The moment he pulled out the carefree sword, he had already arrived in front of the Celestial Master of Palace. The first move he made was the 35th Heaven of the way of the sword!
The 35th Heaven of the way of the sword, the supreme sword domain, exploded in an instant. Within the Lingxiao Palace, the sword light seemed to fill up the palace where the gods worshiped the heavenly emperor in an instant!
In the next moment, the surging and majestic sword light pierced through the Lingxiao Palace.
There were still countless gods and demons living in the heavenly court. They raised their heads at the same time and looked at the Lingxiao Palace in unison.
Under their stunned gazes, tens of thousands of sword lights burst out from the Lingxiao Palace, which symbolized the supreme authority of the Heavenly Emperor.
The sword lights were indestructible and pierced through the Lingxiao Palace. They shot out from all directions. The stunning sword lights cut through the sky, leaving deep and unfathomable spatial cracks in the sky!
Boom --
A loud explosion came from the Lingxiao treasured palace. The heavenly venerate gong was wounded in dozens of places and quickly retreated out of the palace!
At this moment, the sword light that shot out from the palace and pierced through the sky actually tore through thirty-five layers of void space. In each of those cracks that went straight to the thirty-five layers of void space, there was a shadow of the founding emperor, he held a sword and charged out from the thirty-five layers of void space!
That was the founding emperor’s brand of Sword Dao!
He had branded his sword dao into the thirty-five layers of void space. The sword lights that came out from the Lingxiao treasured palace earlier were not simply piercing through the void space. They were also activating the brand of Sword Dao in the thirty-five layers of void space!
The sword lights that flew out from the palace earlier numbered in the thousands and flew in all directions. But now, these sword lights were activating the brand of Sword Dao in the thirty-five layers of void space. The power of each sword light was stronger and more shocking, celestial Master Gong, who was retreating rapidly from all directions, attacked!
Celestial Master Gong mustered all her strength to resist, but she only had enough time to block the 100 sword lights before she heard a sizzling sound. A divine sword stabbed out from her back and pierced out from her front!
Celestial Master Gong spat out blood and gritted her teeth to resist desperately. However, more sword lights pierced through her.
In front of her, founding emperor walked out of the Lingxiao treasured palace with the carefree sword in his hand. There was no change in his expression, as if the attack that injured Celestial Master Gong was just a casual attack.
The Lingxiao treasured palace had already become riddled with holes and was in an extremely dilapidated state.
His Dao realm was profound and incomparable. He had long surpassed the Supreme Emperor. In the late stage of the Supreme Emperor realm, he relied on the power of sacrifice to push his divine sense up to the ultimate great overarching heaven of the Void. In the Dao realm.., the comprehension of the supreme emperor had long been left behind by the founding emperor.
He stood there as if he was standing in the thirty-five layers of void. His figure was difficult to grasp.
When he moved, it was as if the Sword Dao in the world moved along with him. It was as if the thirty-fifth layer of the Void Sword Dao also moved along with him.
This was the peak of the Sword Dao that village chief said could not be scaled or surpassed!
The more sword dao experts had a high understanding of the Sword Dao and the deeper their understanding of the Dao realm, the more they would see a figure standing in front of them. It was lofty and tall, as if it was standing in the sky.
There were many sword path experts in the world, but there were too few who had cultivated to the level of village chief Su Mumu. Those who could sense the supreme majesty of founding emperor’s sword path were even rarer and could be counted with one’s fingers.
Even Qin Mu couldn’t sense the might and majesty of founding emperor’s Sword Path, let alone the others.
However, as long as he could feel it, he would feel like he was looking up at a lofty mountain, and he would need to break the god in his heart!
Village chief Su Muzhai had been quiet all these years because he wanted to break the spirit in his heart. He wanted to break the despair and oppression that the founding emperor’s Sword Dao had brought to him. However, up until now, he had never been able to break the spirit in his heart and walk out of the low point.
Even the sword God, who had been stunning and resolute all those years ago, could not walk out of the shadow of founding emperor for a moment.
At this moment, founding emperor did not only give off the feeling of looking up at a lofty mountain, he also gave everyone, including celestial venerables, the feeling of looking up at a lofty mountain!
In the twenty thousand years after the founding emperor era ended, he did not sink. Instead, he sank into carefree village. All the gods and demons in carefree village, and even their descendants, had lost their Dao Hearts. However, his dao heart remained the same as before and had never been defeated.
There were no fellow Daoists who supported and encouraged him. There were no fellow Daoists who supported him. Even his former comrades in carefree village had misunderstood him and did not understand his good intentions.
Yet even so, his dao heart had never declined and never wavered.
From ancient times until now, he was the only one who had such strength and determination!
This was the reason why he could comprehend the thirty-fifth heavens of Dao realm!
The dao of divine consciousness of heavenly venerate gong burst forth, and her divine consciousness was good at branding the void. Her Dao of divine consciousness was even better at illusions. At that moment, layers of illusions burst forth and surged toward founding emperor.
It was easy for her illusions to confuse Qin Mu, but they were completely useless against founding emperor.
For an existence who had created a kind of Great Dao and had almost completely grasped it, illusions couldn’t confuse a person’s dao heart because they couldn’t confuse sword dao or sword heart.
Heavenly venerate gong suffered a few more strikes, and despair rose in her heart. She asked in a hoarse voice, “Qin Ye, why do you want to kill me?”
The founding emperor did not answer. He suddenly sheathed his sword and left in a flash.
Whoosh --
A sinkhole great abyss suddenly appeared where he had been standing and devoured the sky and ground there. The founding emperor had just left that place and the sinkhole great abyss had not been able to devour him in the slightest.
Boom!
Another Taiji diagram appeared. The Yin and Yang Qi was like a dragon with its fins and cut at him. The founding emperor had just walked past the yin and Yang pair of scissors, and the Yin and yang Qi had cut through the air.
The Taiji diagram was erected horizontally in front of him. Founding Emperor pulled out his sword and stabbed out, tearing a large hole in the Taiji diagram and piercing through it.
Suddenly, an ancient bell descended from the sky and shook with a bang. The sound of the bell was vast and mighty as it rolled down.
A streak of sword qi shot up into the sky above founding emperor’s head and advanced layer by layer, turning into thirty-five heavens. At the top was the clear Jade Realm Sword Domain. The vast rivers and mountains were as if they were made of jade, supporting the large bell.
The bell rang, but it was unable to break through the thirty-fifth heaven.
Ancient god Taiji, a man and a woman, appeared in front of the founding emperor along with concubine Yan Tian. A taiji sand table was erected behind their heads, and they were somewhat hesitant.
The founding emperor held the hilt of his sword upside down and greeted the two of them. The two ancient gods returned the greeting, but when they raised their heads, there was no trace of him.
“Why don’t the two of you leave him behind?”Concubine Yan Tian asked in confusion.
“If we leave him behind, we’ll be injured as well.”
Ancient god lunar said, “This fellow Daoist is even stronger than us in terms of Dao realm. It’s just that he’s not at the innate level, so forcing him to stay behind will be disadvantageous to us.”
Ancient god Sun said, “He’s an existence that’s about to become a dao expert. He makes people envious.”
Imperial Concubine Yan Tian’s heart shook.
