Chapter 776 - 442: Borrowing Heaven and Earth, Condensing Sword Dao Rules (Part 2)
The terrifying power vibrated in space, like the tide of destiny, sweeping toward the Four Immortal Slaying Swords like a storm, as if marked, establishing a faint connection between the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and this space, and even the entire great world.
In fact, this way of marking with destiny was to enable the Four Immortal Slaying Swords to adapt to this world, leveraging the remnants of the world’s rule system, continuously refining the sword body and unleashing powerful strength.
Only after adapting to the rules of this world can one mobilize the power of rules and unleash their power to the strongest degree.
And Zheng Yi wanted to forcibly condense the Postnatal Sword Dao Rules; he aimed to master this rule and become the Master of the Sword Dao.
Using Array Dao as the foundation, Sword Dao as the sharp blade, supreme destiny as the roulette, he commanded a sphere of Great Slaughter Divine Techniques.
Otherwise, even with the power of the Taiyue Divine Venerable and Zheng Yi’s own body, forcefully breaking through the Immortal Slaying Sword Array that only a Heaven-Reaching Daoist Master could evolve into a primordial chaos was impossible.
Even attempting to glimpse a fraction of the true power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array was beyond him.
In fact, whether for the Celestial Dao Rules of the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, the Ten Thousand Spirits of the world, or even Zheng Yi himself, the most frightening opponent now was the Sovereign from Dark Space.
This Ancient God Descendant, through unknown means, forcibly parasitized the Celestial Dao Rules, even devouring half of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm’s enormous destiny, intending to replace it, using the occupied space as a foundation, a springboard, to ultimately devour the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
Burning the world’s destiny, devouring the source of the Ten Thousand Spirits, sacrificing the entire Small Thousand World, and completely ascending to immortality.
Forcibly breaking through the barriers of the Small Thousand World could not only perfect his True Demon Dao and use this powerful force to break through the obstruction of the Star Realm, but also return to the Upper Realm Nine Heavens and Earth.
It is no exaggeration to say that what Zheng Yi is doing by refining the Four Immortal Slaying Swords is not much different from what the Dark Dominator is doing.
The Dark Dominator uses his Path of Devouring, forcibly seizing immediate benefits, to replace the entire Celestial Dao Rules with his own Path.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yi takes advantage of the situation when the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm’s Heavenly Dao needs him, gathering half of the world’s destiny, using the terrifying Sword Array formed by the Four Immortal Slaying Swords to devour the Dao Rhyme of this world, thereby obtaining the support of this world’s rule power.
Although the methods seem different, they are actually leading to the same destination.
However, for the entire Small Thousand World, Zheng Yi’s method might weaken it for millennia, but with time, it will eventually recover.
Yet, if dominated completely by the Dark Dominator, the entire world will be subjected to a Blood Sacrifice, and even the rules themselves will become offerings consumed by the Parasitic Dao Fruit of the Ancient God Descendant.
Clearly, between two evils, lesser should be chosen; Zheng Yi becomes the rightful one.
Using half of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm’s destiny to refine the Four Immortal Slaying Swords could also infinitely amplify Zheng Yi’s methods, allowing him to condensate his own Sword Dao Rules in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which Zheng Yi certainly would not miss.
After all, this method is equivalent to Zheng Yi using the power of the entire world to help him condense the rules. Although it damages the Celestial Dao Rules itself, it reciprocates his own system and foundation.
You’d be a fool not to take advantage of it.
Zheng Yi naturally understands this reasoning.
And now, the refining of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords undoubtedly also proves Zheng Yi’s current control over the situation.
After all, considering the level of the Outer Realm Ancient God Descendant that the Dark Dominator embodies, even after being suppressed for countless ten thousand years and its foundation greatly weakened, its essential might still far exceeds Zheng Yi’s.
It carries part of the bloodline of an Upper Realm Ancient God, surpassing the beings of this local world; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to seize the Celestial Dao Rules. Even with the Parasitic Dao Fruit as assistance, it would likely have faced backlash, making it impossible to become the uncontrollable source of disaster it is now.
"Speed up!"
Zheng Yi stared at the sky, watching a huge spinning black vortex forming between the sword map of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, with the surging power converging towards the vortex’s center.
Under the immense support of the overwhelming destiny, one can clearly see the previously dazzling sword light of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords beginning to condense complex lines on their surfaces.
These seemingly simple patterns are actually the evolution of this world’s destiny will.
At first glance, nothing seems too extraordinary, but if one stares, a moment later, their whole Heart Spirit would be drawn into it, as if dazed.
These lines are not limited to array patterns; they resemble the original imprint of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm. Even a strong Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would experience immense backlash if forcibly sensing these rapidly vibrating lines.
One can only say that Zheng Yi’s timing was impeccable, taking action only when this world needed him, seizing the momentum, becoming the rightful Emperor Venerable of the Celestial Palace, standing on equal footing with the Dark Dominator, apart but confronting each other.
This allowed him to seize a huge advantage; otherwise, it’s impossible for the will of the entire world’s destiny to be owned by a single person. Even a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator is merely a larger ant, like a leech sucking blood on its host, in front of the will of the world.
The whole process seems complex, but it is simply a matter of playing one against the other for personal benefit.
As the vortex under the sword formation of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords in the sky becomes more vigorous, the Spiritual Qi of the entire world turns into thick mist, rushing in from all directions towards the vortex’s center.
This concentrated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi quickly inscribes clear patterns on the body of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords. As time passes, these patterns become more intense, more complex, beginning to spread across the entire sword body, as if to entirely cover the Immortal Sword.
The intense Spiritual Qi, the surging ripples, and the white mist upheaving like tides spread into the sky, gradually enveloping the array formed by the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.
Compared to the Dark Dominator, the embodiment of the Outer Realm Ancient God Descendant, Zheng Yi doesn’t dare to delay in the slightest.
Now, even if he didn’t want to act, he has no choice but to do so.
The two are in pure competition, and the ultimate result is that only one can achieve victory.
Undoubtedly, this Dark Dominator is the most terrifying opponent he has faced so far, after all, the Blood Moon still has rule constraints, yet this Dark Dominator is the main source of the cataclysm.
If he cannot completely destroy the opponent, he will never be able to grasp the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
Just like Taiyue Divine Venerable’s Nine Provinces Divine Kingdom, the foundation of the entire kingdom is not anything else but those devout believers, millions in number, they are the basis of the entire kingdom system. As long as there are these devout believers, the kingdom will last forever, unless the Sovereign himself, Taiyue Divine Venerable, perishes or falls.
For Zheng Yi, however, the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm requires no followers, and its energy level is too high; Zheng Yi lacks the means to completely devour it, as the causality is too great.
What he needs is the pressure the Dark Dominator places on the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to take advantage of it, seizing opportunities as the world’s rules open to him, absorbing half of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm’s destiny, ultimately achieving his own completion.
No doubt, Zheng Yi is given such a great opportunity, it’s truly unprecedented and unmatched; after all, for the established Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm to be pushed to this extent, except for the Ancient God Descendant of the Upper Realm, nothing else could achieve it.
Through this, Zheng Yi can perfect his own Path, equivalent to the secrets of the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm opening to him, aiding this gigantic colossus in exploring the secrets between heaven and earth.
Among them, but not limited to, refining his own Sword Dao Rules.
Including using the world’s destiny to refine the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, deducing the Immortal Slaying Array Map, including perceiving the Heavenly Dao, and exploring the higher-level mysteries that belong to the Void Refinement Realm tier.
This time, Zheng Yi undeniably obtained a significant advantage and benefit!
