Chapter 516: Controlling All The Dao Under The Heavens
The man in the black robe retreated. He couldn’t believe that the young man and woman actually possessed such a supreme treasure, disrupting all his preparations.
He had originally thought that no one would stand a chance against him with the Purple Celestial Dao Sword in hand, combined with the Dao Harnessing Killing Formation. Everything was secure. However, his heart sank now that he knew about the supreme treasure.
After a brief silence, his black robe swelled up, and his spirit, like a black sun, erupted with dazzling light as he stood on the short mountain. He was activating the formation with the Purple Celestial Dao Sword.
There was no turning back. Moreover, what could someone with a supreme treasure do against him? He activated the Dao Harnessing-level Number One Killing Formation of the Immortal Realm with the broken treasure. Who would live or die was still uncertain!
"Control all the swords under the heavens!" he coldly uttered. The killing formation evolved, and the entire secret realm changed, turning into a broken ancient battlefield. The whole area was shrouded in black mist, the ground stained with blood, and celestial swords were everywhere.
Some were azure, condensed like the essence of rivers and seas, some were stained with blood, embedded in the cliffs, and some were as big as mountains, reaching straight to the sky. Each sword that took shape had a great origin. They represented a profound sword technique and resonated with each other. That was the manifestation of rules.
Chi chi chi
…
Endless sword radiance shuttled through the void, cleaving through the sky and bursting everything. In this killing formation, the true trajectory of order traversed heaven and earth, and was capable of annihilating even the peerless transcendent.
Wang Xuan activated the Life Essence Furnace, and summoned it out. He did not dare to be careless when facing such a Number One Killing Formation. He felt that his life was under serious threat.
Even with a supreme treasure on him, his hair stood on end. It could only be said that the result of several mythological civilizations, the Dao Harnessing Killing Formation, was truly terrifying. A slight misstep, and he would die here even if he held a supreme treasure.
Countless sword lights surged, dense and numerous runes blossomed, forming a vast expanse. It was the Sea of Sword Dao, which was composed of unparalleled sword dao rules.
With a deafening roar, towering waves crashed down, the momentum was earth-shattering. Wang Xuan summoned several weapons he had obtained from the mighty gods and immortals in the Land of the Undying to block the attack.
As a result, the undying black spear shattered inch by inch and the dazzling divine knife instantly exploded into pieces. These were the weapons of peerless masters, destroyed at the first contact.
The Life Essence Furnace roared, countless strands of immortal light rose into the air, shrouding Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden. Then, the erected light veil blocked the Sea of Sword Dao.
The towering waves surged down, stimulating the revival of the Life Essence Furnace. Various patterns engraved on it appeared in the void, deducing the power of rules.
Wang Xuan's expression turned slightly green. This Number One Killing Formation was truly terrifying.
Could it contend with the Life Essence Furnace with just a broken treasure?
The unexpected strength of the killing formation made him apprehensive. The Dao Harnessing Killing Formation was truly invaluable.
"Control all the swords under the heavens!" With confidence in his heart, the man in the black robe lightly scolded, and there were swords everywhere in the world. There were black demonic swords dripping with blood, and celestial swords sacrificed by various immortals. There were also radiant red swords, hanging in the sky to illuminate all things, and dark Yin swords sinking into the netherworld, exuding a chilling aura.
……
This was the deduction of various supreme sword dao from the past. Any scripture and profound meanings that existed in the world could be captured by the Dao Harnessing Formation and displayed.
This was its terrifying aspect, it could summon the teachings of various powerful martial arts chapters of the past and present. They could be reproduced as long as they resonated with the Great Dao and were memorized. What was Dao Harnessing? It can even control all the Dao under the heavens!
Boom!
Countless sword lights cleaved through the void, and black rifts appeared, spreading within the killing formation. If touched, one's body would instantly explode and turn into blood mist. In this special era, even if one preserved their Earth Immortal Dao in the mortal realm, they would still be torn apart if they came close to a spatial rift.
"This is abnormal!" exclaimed Wang Xuan. Both him and Celestial Sword Maiden were shocked. They had no choice but to quickly enter the furnace, tightly close the lid, and avoid the killing power of the countless swords cleaving through the void.
Clang clang clang
…
Endless sword lights fell, causing countless rosy clouds and immortal lights to rise from the Life Essence Furnace. Then, the black rifts fell, causing the furnace to hum incessantly. Fortunately, even spatial rifts couldn't harm the supreme treasure at all.
"Control all the fires under the heavens!" The man in the black robe said coldly, completely relieved. This was also the first time he had displayed the Dao Harnessing Killing Formation. The effect was unexpectedly astonishing, truly defying the heavens. It could even contend with treasures head-on!
"Kill!" With his loud shout, everywhere was filled with flames. Sunfire essence poured down, Yin-Yang True Fire covered the sky, and the Nine Nether Earth Fire swept across the sky. This place turned into a world of fire, where there were no ordinary flames, only flames composed of runic rules.
Even the Life Essence Furnace was glowing red. Many flames that were drawn from the void were borrowed from the spiritual world. All the flames came from various higher spiritual planes.
These flames were all manifestations of rules, intertwining to refine all things. It was effortless for it to burn the gods and immortals who returned to the mortal realm to death.
The Life Essence Furnace trembled, unleashing unparalleled power to support the light veil. Floating in the sea of fire, although it was dazzlingly burnt, it still appeared sacred and peaceful.
"I must obtain the Dao Harnessing Killing Formation!" exclaimed Wang Xuan as he felt a chill, but at the same time, he was extremely eager. He wanted to acquire the killing formation and master it.
The black-robed man's calm demeanor was now turbulent as he stared at the Life Essence Furnace. If he could obtain this treasure and use it together with the Number One Killing Formation, even the sword lunatic would probably be refined to death!
"Unfortunately, the materials for the killing formation are too difficult to find. So far, a perfect formation diagram has not been refined. It will become tattered after a single battle," said the black-robed man. He was very regretful. It was difficult to gather the heavenly treasures and earthly materials in this era. The requirements of materials for the only Dao Harnessing-level killing formation were too high.
"Let's go and attack!" Jiang Qingyao spoke up. Passive defense was not the philosophy of Celestial Sword Maiden lineage. Offense was the best defense.
Wang Xuan nodded. He had already studied the changes in the power of the Number One Killing Formation and was prepared to counterattack.
The Life Essence Furnace emitted light and rose with a loud bang in the endless sea of fire. It rushed towards the short mountain, and was intending to destroy the black-robed man and the formation base.
"Control all the Dao under the heavens!" shouted the black-robed man in a cold voice. He placed his palm on the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, growing more confident as time passed. He faced the treasure without fear.
He emitted a glow and merged with the formation. He was connected in flesh and blood with the formation base. Together, they resonated, intending to suppress the Life Essence Furnace and refine the enemies.
At that moment, the world changed. Chaos Qi flowed, everything became hazy, as if returning to the era of origin. The first ray of light appeared, carrying the aura of the Great Dao and descended towards the Life Essence Furnace.
Clang!
This was the first time the Life Essence Furnace was struck so violently, as if it was hit by countless extraterrestrial stars, bombarded by the Milky Way, causing it to continuously tremble.
The ray of light seemed to carry the Great Dao, and even a strand of its aura weighed a billion tons. Being struck by it made both Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden that were inside the furnace very uncomfortable, causing them injuries.
"Forced to this point even when I have a supreme treasure, I must analyze the Number One Killing Formation and see if it can be integrated into the Sword Dao," said Celestial Sword Maiden with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Wang Xuan also coughed up blood. This situation was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that with a treasure in hand, he could crush his opponents, but it was not what he had imagined.
Controlling all the Dao under the heavens, in a trance, it seemed to be deducing the aura of the era of the creation of the heavens. After the first ray of light, the first sound appeared. It was the initial sound of the Great Dao, the resonance of rules.
The Life Essence Furnace was hit again, and both Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden's expression changed. Blood flowed from their mouths, but then they became fierce, jointly urging on the furnace, driving it towards the black-robed man.
Obviously, the black-robed man was also in discomfort. The Life Essence Furnace emitted light and was rippling out sacred ripples. It was tearing apart the runes of the Number One Killing Formation and closing in on him.
At a critical moment, the Purple Celestial Dao Sword shone brilliantly, enveloping him in a purple sun, blocking the counterattack of the supreme treasure. Even so, he was still shaken and coughed up blood. Furthermore, the Life Essence Furnace was closing in!
With a loud rumble, controlling all the Dao under the heavens and containing all rules, thunder appeared. Following that, the Heavenly Tribulation Fire burned the entire sky, collapsing and pouring down, submerging the Life Essence Furnace and blocking its path.
One after another, Heavenly Tribulation Thunderbolts struck the Life Essence Furnace, causing it to tremble and rumble incessantly, causing the two people inside to tumble along with the furnace.
"The universe in all directions, the past, present, and future are called time and space. Space is the prison, time is the blade!" exclaimed the black-robed man as he coughed up blood, urging on the Number One Killing Formation of the Immortal Realm.
In an instant, the entire space froze, everything became still, and the Life Essence Furnace was briefly fixed in place. Only a glimpse of the Blade of Time took shape, slowly slashing towards the furnace body, intending to kill the two people through the furnace wall with the power of time!
The man in the black robe did not show mercy because he needed the physical body that had a special inner landscape. He intended to kill the enemy first.
"The Dao Harnessing Formation is so terrifying!" exclaimed Wang Xuan. Him and Jiang Qingyao were both horrified. The killing formation could perform all kinds of moves. If the formation base was a complete treasure, then there would indeed be no solution to this situation.
They sat cross-legged in the furnace, chanting together, operating the scripture recorded on the Life Essence Furnace. They were resonating with the furnace, and maximizing its power.
Boom!
At a critical moment, the furnace body shone brightly, and endless runes rose. Crystal clear like jade illuminated the void, making the entire secret realm peaceful and sacred because of it.
It resisted the erosion of the Blade of Time. If the power of time were allowed to penetrate and hit the two people, they would surely decay and die.
"To think that we've been forced to this point," said Wang Xuan, coughing up blood continuously. He never expected that he would almost be buried here in search of the Banner of Severance.
In the Land of the Undying, he had killed the main bodies of gods and killed all the way through the land. Even when encountering the avatar of Evil Dragon in deep space, he could still contend with him, but it was far less dangerous than this.
The black-robed man staggered, almost falling to the ground. He was also uncomfortable. This kind of killing formation consumed too much energy, and he was also countered by the patterns of the treasure. Fortunately, he was protected by the Purple Celestial Dao Sword.
"The Purple Celestial Dao Sword that controls all Dao, help me create a new myth!" the black-robed man shouted. He became fierce again, mobilizing the most powerful force of the killing formation and activating the formation base.
The light of heavenly tribulation, the power of time, the spatial fissures, endless rules manifested. He pulled out the shimmering purple broken celestial sword, using the damaged treasure to drive the power of the entire killing formation, slashing towards the Life Essence Furnace.
The entire killing formation made a cracking sound, all the forces were converging. The aura of killing intent entered the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, making it extremely bright and flew towards the Life Essence Furnace!
Wang Xuan's mind was shaken, and Celestial Sword Maiden's expression changed. This kind of attack was destined to be earth-shattering, it was a matter of life and death!
"Huh
? The Purple Celestial Dao Sword is about to fall, and its speed has slowed down?" Celestial Sword Maiden was surprised. At a critical moment, the opponent had dropped the ball.
Wang Xuan launched a fierce counterattack, driving the Life Essence Furnace to charge forward. However, his expression also changed. His body shook and became extremely weak, causing the Life Essence Furnace to fall.
There was no doubt that he and the black-robed man were facing the same problem. The consumption involving treasures and killing formations was terrifying. Now, the transcendent material in his body was somewhat depleted.
The black-robed man's heart was pounding. He had prepared several treasures from the inner landscape that continuously provided transcendent material, but he was weakening faster than his opponent.
In an instant, he activated his almost decayed inner landscape, desperately mobilizing transcendent material. Then, he took out the last two treasures from the inner landscape to provide power for himself.
Wang Xuan triggered his spiritual sense and also opened his inner landscape. He continuously provided transcendent material to the Life Essence Furnace, causing it to emit light and revive.
Clang!
The shimmering Purple Celestial Dao Sword was activated again, but just as it condensed the killing power of the Number One Killing Formation, it was struck by the Life Essence Furnace, and had slightly deviated from its original trajectory.
The black-robed man coughed up blood heavily, his heart sank completely. Wang Xuan’s speed of replenishing transcendent material exceeded his own. He was in a dangerous situation.
To death!
He ignited his almost decayed inner landscape, causing it to explode. Terrifying transcendent material surged out, intending to deliver the strongest blow. He gathered all the power of the killing formation on the Purple Celestial Dao Sword and slashed towards the Life Essence Furnace.
Swish!
At a critical moment, Wang Xuan controlled the Life Essence Furnace to tear through the void, but the Purple Celestial Dao Sword chased after it and still descended.
The Life Essence Furnace dodged again. At the same time, Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden both draped themselves in beast skins and used the Godslaying Banner to protect themselves. In addition, Wang Xuan took out the Book of Ages he obtained in the Land of the Undying. With twenty or so pages, he used them as talismans to stick onto himself and Celestial Sword Maiden.
Clang!
The sound of the Great Dao resonated. The sword and the furnace collided, countless runes lit up, engulfing the entire secret realm. The Number One Killing Formation, limited by its materials, had long since been unable to support itself and was completely disintegrated. The secret realm also began to crack, it was about to shatter!
The Purple Celestial Dao Sword dimmed and fell to the ground.
Inside the Life Essence Furnace, Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden were covered in blood. Even though the treasure defended against the attack, this slight tremor still caused their bodies to suffer severe injuries, almost turning them into minced meat.
They held on in the end. The Book of Ages, the Bearer of the Old Covenant of the previous mythological civilization, also played a role. It emitted light at a critical moment and enveloped them.
Wang Xuan had some broken bones and dozens of wounds on his body. Celestial Sword Maiden was also in a sorry state, turning into a blood-soaked maiden. Fortunately, the problem was not too serious.
In the distance, the black robe of that man had long turned into ashes. His spirit appeared with hundreds of cracks, and was about to explode. He was held in place by Wang Xuan using the Life Essence Furnace.
"That was close. He was almost on the brink of annihilation. Finally, I managed to bind him!" said Wang Xuan, breathing a sigh of relief. At a critical moment, he stopped his collapse.
In an instant, the furnace lid opened, and Celestial Sword Maiden grabbed the Purple Celestial Dao Sword. Although blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, she smiled happily and brightly.
Wang Xuan controlled the Life Essence Furnace to rush over, then used a gentle light to confine the collapsing spirit. He quickly searched the spiritual domain of the black-robed man, looking for the scriptures about the Number One Killing Formation. At the same time, he snatched the Banner of Severance into his hand.
