Chapter 669
Even a grain of rice can shine?
"Even a grain of rice can shine?"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes held an indifferent gaze, as if looking down at dust.
Each syllable triggered a humming sound in the sword formation, resonating with the Great Dao.
He gently flicked the wide sleeves of his dark imperial robe towards the void.
This sweeping motion seemed to remove the dust, revealing the most ruthless and deadly true form in the universe.
"Buzz—Clang!!!"
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Array plate floating in front of him suddenly erupted with a dazzling blood-red light that tore through the sky!
On the screen, the grand array that evolved the birth and death of all the stars and the cycle of the universe spun rapidly. An ultimate killing intent that could end all things and silence the laws was like a sleeping ancient beast that had been completely awakened!
"Charge!"
The indifferent voice was like a decree.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
Nine astonishing blood rainbows shot into the sky from the array plate!
Those were nine ancient immortal swords, each with a different shape, yet all equally imbued with the Daoist aura of endless slaughter.
The nine swords did not fly around randomly, but rather, at the moment of ascent, they arranged themselves in a mysterious and unpredictable pattern that exhausted the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Between the swords, pure and ultimate blood-red sword energy connected, instantly weaving into a world-destroying sword net that covered billions of miles of starry sky and encompassed the past and future!
Within the sword net, endless tiny sword energies generate, annihilate, and cycle ceaselessly, layer upon layer, without end!
Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!
In that instant, the overwhelming killing sword energy was like the first ray of light of destruction at the beginning of the universe, or like the tidal wave of destruction sweeping everything at the end of an era. It swept towards the Heavenly Demon God and the nine world-destroying demonic dragons he had unleashed with an unstoppable and all-consuming momentum!
Wherever the sword energy passed, space no longer shattered, but evaporated directly, turning into the most primordial chaotic nothingness!
The concept of time becomes blurred and disordered here!
Everything that exists, whether matter or energy, will instantly melt and annihilate once it is caught in this blood-red sword energy, just like dewdrops under the blazing sun!
"Roar--!!!"
Nine world-destroying demonic dragons, condensed by the Heavenly Demon God, roared with earth-shattering force. Their ferocious mouths opened, spewing out destructive dragon breath powerful enough to corrode stars. Their massive bodies stirred up the demonic tide, carrying the immense power to tear apart galaxies, and crashed into the boundless sea of blood-red sword energy.
However, the anticipated cataclysmic collision did not occur.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!"
Like a red-hot iron being plunged into ice and snow.
The destructive dragon breath, which was enough to make ordinary Eight Tribulation Celestial Venerables retreat, was easily pierced and annihilated the moment it came into contact with the blood-red sword energy, as if it had met its nemesis!
It only took less than a breath!
Under the seemingly endless and ever-renewing killing sword energy, the nine mighty world-destroying demonic dragons let out their final mournful cry. Their massive dragon bodies completely disintegrated, turning into countless dark purple demonic energy specks that were then completely devoured by the subsequent surge of sword energy.
Nine dragons, cut down in an instant!
That's not all!
The vast sword energy that annihilated the nine dragons had not yet ceased its momentum. Like a second, even more ferocious wave after a tsunami, it surged towards the true form of the Heavenly Demon God with an even more violent force!
That destructive sword intent, that all-severing sharpness, that killing intent that ends all things, was like a million icy poisonous thorns, piercing deep into the soul of the Heavenly Demon God!
For the first time in his life, this Nine Tribulation God Lord, who had roamed the endless immortal realms and slaughtered countless star fields, clearly felt the breath of death!
Cold, suffocating, and inescapable!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!!"
The face of the Heavenly Demon Lord was distorted by extreme shock and rage, and his face behind the gray mist turned purplish-black.
He screamed wildly, his voice filled with disbelief and a panic that had overturned his understanding.
"You are merely an avatar supported by a power imprint! How... how could you possess such terrifying power?"
He couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to accept it!
At this moment, a chill ran down the spine of the Heavenly Demon God. But he had no time to delve deeper.
Because the destructive tide of swords is already upon us!
"Break for me!!!"
The threat of death overwhelmed all distracting thoughts. The Heavenly Demon Lord let out a hysterical demonic howl, no longer daring to hold back or underestimate, and pushed his peak Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable cultivation to its limit!
"boom--!!!"
The dark purple demonic tide behind him surged back wildly, merging entirely into his body.
His demonic body began to swell and deform, and the cracked lines on his skin seemed to come alive, spreading and intertwining wildly. Finally, behind him, it condensed into a supreme demonic god form that was a million feet tall, had three heads and six arms, and had a blurred face but exuded an aura of destruction like that of the ancient primordial era!
The moment the Dharma form appeared, the entire star field shrouded by the sword formation trembled violently, as if it could not withstand the terrifying mass and destructive aura contained within this Dharma form.
On each of the Dharma Image's six arms, a different divine artifact materialized!
Each and every one of them exudes a terrifying aura that could extinguish the stars and wither all life.
This is one of the Heavenly Demon God Lord's most treasured supernatural powers.
The Heavenly Demon God Lord and the Destruction Demon God Dharma Image behind him moved in sync, their six arms clenched into fists, their fists condensing into extremely concentrated dark purple destructive demonic light.
The six destructive fists, seemingly capable of shattering the barriers of the universe, struck solidly into the void where the sword formation had evolved.
A terrifying power erupted, and the space was like a lake with a giant rock thrown in, unleashing a devastating energy surge!
Large swaths of crimson sword energy crumbled and vanished under the destructive shockwave, like sandcastles swept by a gale!
The space of the sword formation shook violently, and the sword net that covered the starry sky dimmed and became chaotic for a moment!
"Pfft!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the sword formation was in turmoil and the sword energy was dissipated, the Heavenly Demon God's body trembled violently, and his body was instantly cut by countless sharp sword energies, leaving dozens of deep, bone-revealing, and even grotesque wounds that touched the Great Dao!
The divine blood cascaded down like a fountain, each drop as heavy as a star, crashing against the shattered continent below with a deafening roar.
Despite his injuries, a flash of bloodlust appeared in his eyes as he seized the fleeting opportunity to use the Blood Escape Technique to tear through the sword formation space and escape at any cost!
however--
"An ant trying to shake a tree is a futile struggle."
Gu Qingfeng Di Ying's indifferent voice rang out again, without the slightest ripple, as if the earth-shattering, life-or-death strike of the Heavenly Demon God Lord was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing across the hillside.
He pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched the center of the array plate.
"Certainly."
Words become law!
The violently turbulent, sword-energy-dissipating space of the sword formation seemed to be instantly smoothed out by an invisible giant hand!
All the chaotic energy, the disintegrating Daoist principles, and the torn spatial rifts were restored to stability in an instant!
It's even more solid and fortified than before!
The scattered crimson sword energy did not disappear; instead, it re-condensed and regenerated at an even faster speed, becoming more refined and sharper, just like rivers flowing into the sea!
At the same time, an even more profound and vast sword intent emanated from Emperor Ying, like a gentle spring rain, quietly seeping into every corner of the sword formation.
The blood-red demonic light that the Heavenly Demon Lord had just ignited was instantly extinguished as if it had hit an iron wall under the newly stabilized and strengthened sword formation!
The glimmer of hope that had just appeared on his face completely turned into boundless terror and despair!
Gu Qingfeng Di Ying remained silent, but his eyes, shrouded in the Daoist sword light, seemed even more indifferent.
He stood in the center of the sword formation, his feet treading on the void, as if he had become the sole ruler of this world of slaughter.
Under his invisible control, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation unleashed an even more terrifying power.
"The sword dances across the Milky Way, slaying gods and immortals."
As his thoughts shifted, the boundless sea of swords changed once more.
The countless sword energies no longer attacked in a chaotic manner, but instead evolved into various mysterious and unpredictable sword techniques.
The Heavenly Demon God roared repeatedly, his six arms of the Destruction Demon God Dharma Form flailing wildly, barely managing to thwart the terrifying attacks coming at him, but his own injuries continued to worsen.
The demonic blood stained the starry sky, and his Dharma form gradually dimmed. His powerful Nine Tribulations Demon Body was covered with crisscrossing sword marks, some of which were so deep that the bone was visible, and the healing speed became extremely slow.
The more he fought in Vietnam, the more terrified and desperate he became!
He originally thought that the opponent was just an avatar with limited power, and that as long as he could hold out for a while, he could reverse the situation.
The battle lasted for nearly half a day, and the emperor's figure remained as steady as a rock. The power of the sword formation did not weaken in the slightest. On the contrary, it seemed to become more and more rounded and fierce in the battle!
Gu Qingfeng stood in the void, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation in his hands had already brought out the power of a ninth-grade creation treasure to its limit. As a supreme treasure that had once slaughtered countless evil gods, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation belonged to the truly top level among creation treasures of the same grade.
Under such circumstances, the Heavenly Demon God Lord was naturally no match for him.
Even if his cultivation has reached the peak of the Ninth Tribulation, it's still the same.
after all--
Even at the peak of the Nine Tribulations, there are still differences.
The truly powerful can be considered to be on the verge of immortality.
As for the weak, they can only be considered average.
obviously.
Although the Heavenly Demon God Lord is a top-tier God Lord, he is definitely not at the level of a half-step immortal.
Therefore, facing the pinnacle of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the Heavenly Demon God Lord naturally felt immense pressure.
Vietnam War!
He was increasingly alarmed!
The Heavenly Demon God Lord knew that the gap between himself and Gu Qingfeng was huge, but he never expected it to be this wide.
The opponent didn't even appear in their true form, but merely in an avatar, yet it was still difficult for me to contend with them.
If it were his true form, he probably wouldn't be able to last even one round.
The Heavenly Demon Lord dared not think any further; the outcome made his very soul tremble.
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind—escape!
Escape at all costs
But in this impregnable and deadly sword formation, such a thought is now a pipe dream.
"No! I don't believe it! I have cultivated diligently for billions of years, enduring countless tribulations to reach my current level. How could I possibly perish at the hands of one of your avatars?!"
As his life force continued to drain away with his injuries, and the shadow of death grew ever stronger, the Heavenly Demon Lord went completely mad.
His gaze toward Gu Qingfeng and Di Ying was filled with extreme resentment, bitterness, and a kind of madness born of desperation.
In response, Gu Qingfeng and Di Ying finally spoke again, calmly delivering their verdict.
"It's time to end this."
The moment he finished speaking, Di Ying formed an ancient and profound sword seal with his hands in front of him.
"Slay the Immortal!"
"Boom—!!!"
The entire Immortal Slaying Sword Formation suddenly contracted!
The vast sea of swords and endless sword energy that covered billions of miles of starry sky seemed to flow backwards, frantically converging on the array plate and the nine swords, causing the nine immortal swords to tremble with extreme excitement.
The boundless killing sword energy converged into a sword energy river that is indescribable!
This celestial river is not an ordinary torrent of energy.
Its width is immeasurable, and its length seems to stretch through the past, present, and future. Its entire body presents a grayish color like the beginning of chaos. But upon closer inspection, within that grayness, there are countless extremely subtle sword lights colliding and annihilating, constantly arising and ceasing!
Every drop of river water contains a terrifying sword intent that can annihilate stars, destroy the Great Dao, and end everything!
The moment this river of swords appeared, all the madness and resentment of the Heavenly Demon God Lord were replaced by a great terror originating from the most primal instinct of life!
Escape! We must escape!
Can't stop!
Absolutely unstoppable!
This thought was stronger than ever before.
But the Heavenly Demon Lord understood even more clearly that he had nowhere to escape now.
If he cannot withstand the force of this attack, he will surely perish on the spot.
In the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Demon God Lord's face was ferocious, and his blood and soul power were burning directly. He exerted his power to the extreme, and the terrifying power of the Dao transformed into a purple-black true dragon, heading towards the Sword Qi River.
"boom--!!!"
The two forces collided, unleashing a devastating shockwave.
finally.
The purplish-black dragon let out a mournful cry, but it could not last more than a few breaths before it was completely pierced by the Heavenly River of Sword Qi.
The unstoppable force completely overwhelmed the Purple-Black True Dragon the moment it was defeated, and in the horrified gaze of the Heavenly Demon God Lord.
"Boom!!"
The void vanished, and the Dharma collapsed.
Within the vast formation, only the River of Annihilation Swords stretched across the sky.
Followed by.
Then, a phantom image of the Great Dao suddenly fell down.
After a long time, the sword energy river dissipated, along with the power of Gu Qingfeng's avatar.
"Buzz!"
The nine Immortal-Slaying Swords disappeared back into the blood-red array plate, and the overwhelming killing array vanished without a trace.
All the cultivators were now staring blankly into the void, where the space had turned into chaos, and the lingering, indestructible power of sword energy was rampaging.
Apart from that.
There was no trace of any other cultivators.
"The Heavenly Demon God Lord has fallen!?"
"Impossible!!!"
When the surviving Celestial Venerables of the Evil God Clan saw this scene, a chilling fear welled up in their hearts.
that moment.
The fear of death made them disregard everything else and they abandoned everything and ran away.
The Heavenly Demon God Lord is dead.
With the power of these evil gods and celestial beings, how could they possibly be a match for the human race?
Even though Gu Qingfeng's avatar has dissipated, the fact that the Ancient Nether Saint Lord is a Six Tribulation Heavenly Venerable means that they are not capable of resisting him.
run--
This is the only way.
otherwise.
All that awaits them is their demise.
the other side.
The Ancient Nether Saint Lord also recovered from his shock. He looked at the gradually dissipating aura of the Heavenly Demon God Lord and the blood-red array plate in front of him. Without thinking too much, he looked at the other evil gods, his killing intent already materializing in his eyes.
"Kill! Leave no one alive!" (End of Chapter)
