Chapter 1 The Void

Amidst the chaotic void, boundless sword light surged and collided. Yet, this void was infinitely vast, and despite the sword light's domineering sweep across hundreds of thousands of miles, it couldn't touch any substantial existence.

It was like a mortal throwing a punch in the air, meeting no resistance whatsoever.

"This is the Five-Colored Divine Light? I, I was swept into the Five-Colored Divine Light? When?"

Seeing the fleeting flash of five-colored light at the highest point, Ying Tiandao's heart trembled, and a great chill arose within him.

The Five-Colored Divine Light dominated the ancient times with its overwhelming power, hailed by countless individuals as the pinnacle of all techniques, rumored to possess the potential for attaining sainthood.

No one dared to underestimate such a great divine power. However, Ying Tiandao never expected to be swept away in a single exchange...

"Impossible!"

After the shock, Ying Tiandao's eyes turned red, and he let out a heaven-shaking roar:

"This old man doesn't believe you can brush away everything!"

Rumble!

Like the explosion of a great sun, an immense amount of mana instantly ignited, erupting into an earth-shattering wave of terror.

In the void, Ying Tiandao roared, stepped forward, manipulated countless sword incantations with his fingers, and used his surging mana to forcefully pull back all the boundless sword light.

Immediately, his figure vanished like smoke into the rolling sword light, infusing everything, ready to unleash a final, all-consuming sword strike!

Buzz~

At this moment, an indescribable sword hum echoed from the void, ignoring all obstacles and directly resonating within Ying Tiandao's heart, who had already transformed into sword light.

Once again, he was knocked out of the sword intent of the 'Heavenly Evolution Reverse Order Sword.'

"Ah!"

Having been knocked out of the state of being one with the sword again and again, even Ying Tiandao's state of mind finally gave rise to anger.

He roared, determined to forcefully unleash this sword strike.

But in the next instant, he was completely stunned.

As that sword hum reverberated, this strange, colorless place of chaotic void suddenly underwent a tremendous change.

Vegetation, mountains, rivers, lakes... even stars, some dormant, some brilliant, appeared abruptly and naturally in this strange void.

The change was swift. Ying Tiandao felt that in the blink of an eye, a newly born great world had replaced the void and appeared before his eyes.

"This, this..."

At a glance, Ying Tiandao felt as if lightning had struck his heart. The sword intent that had risen to its limit wavered at this moment, even showing signs of collapse.

But at this time, Ying Tiandao seemed unaware. All his divine sense and energy were completely captivated by this extremely magnificent world.

This was not an ordinary universe.

Every star in that great world seemed to be a peerless heavenly sword soaring through the sky.

The mountains, rivers, and even the most insignificant vegetation and dust seemed to be a hidden immortal sword, containing unimaginable sword intent!

Flowers were not flowers, grass was not grass, mountains were not peaks, water was not water, and even the sky was not the sky!

From the smallest dust and grass to the largest mountains and rivers, and even the shining stars and celestial bodies, the heavens and earth themselves were all sword light, all sword intent!

Kingly way,

Overlord's way,

Powerful,

Gentle,

Insidious, tyrannical, peaceful, transcendent...

All the sword intents that existed or did not exist in the world, lost or not lost, seemed to be found within it!

This was a true world of swords!

Boom!

In the next instant, tens of thousands of sword lights burst forth from the great world before him, flowing like waterfalls, hanging like heavenly rivers, rising like mountains, pressing down like the sky...

Without the slightest hint of killing intent, their descent naturally displayed unparalleled and terrifying power!

Striking towards Ying Tiandao!

"This is, the Heavenly Evolution Reverse Order Sword..."

"A sword that opens a world, my will is the will of Heaven, this is the true perfected Heavenly Evolution Reverse Order Sword!"

"Our sect's divine power is only passed down through one lineage, how could it ever be spread? How could it be, how is it possible?!"

Facing the sword torrent that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, Ying Tiandao felt no fear in his heart. Unimaginable shock filled his mind.

The Heavenly Evolution Reverse Order Sword was truly passed down through a single lineage.

Since the ancestor comprehended this sword from the meteor shower that came from beyond the heavens seventy thousand years ago, it had never been passed down to outsiders.

And what shocked him even more was that the state of a sword creating a world, where his will was the will of Heaven, was a supreme state that even his lineage's ancestor had never reached.

This Hong Xuan Daoist...

......

Rumble!

Above the Imperial City, terrifying air currents roared back and forth, colliding with each other to produce thunderous sounds that reverberated through the heavens and the earth.

"That void space, it disappeared..."

At this moment, the hearts of all the powerhouses in Great Zhou, and even those from other sects and continents who were spying on this place through various means, trembled, and an extremely strange illusion arose.

The heavens and earth could not possibly disappear.

But at this moment, in everyone's perception, it was clearly so.

This sense of mixed reality made everyone feel like vomiting blood.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, accompanied by the flashing and extinguishing of a five-colored light, the air currents dissipated, the collisions vanished, and the extremely active world instantly became so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping. Even sound seemed to have disappeared.

Only the Daoist remained standing in the sky, seemingly not even having moved his position.

"Grand Preceptor..."

A Great Zhou powerhouse exclaimed, but his voice was so hoarse and low that only he could hear it.

He looked back and forth, and several Dao Lords who were usually high above him now had pale faces, as if they had been greatly stimulated. Some were even trembling slightly.

One move.

In just one exchange, Ying Tiandao, the number one powerhouse of Great Zhou, who had lived for forty thousand years and had assisted the Great Zhou's founding emperor in creating a prosperous dynasty, had disappeared into that fleeting five-colored light.

Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether they were small cultivators who had just entered the world of cultivation or great cultivators who had achieved the Dharma Idol, was shocked beyond words.

It was not that no one had guessed that the Grand Preceptor might lose to the Five-Colored Divine Light, which had been famous for its invincibility since ancient times, but this was too fast, too subversive of cognition.

Even if a Yuanshen battled a Golden Core, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

Even if it was the Five-Colored Divine Light, this was Ying Tiandao!

"How is it possible?!"

In the southwest of the Imperial City, in a misty courtyard, the Antarctic Daoist, who had already planned to take action, suddenly stood up, a touch of disbelief flashing in his eyes as he looked towards the sky:

"Why didn't Ying Tiandao resist?!"

The Antarctic Old Daoist's heart was filled with shock and anger, as if he couldn't accept it at all.

In that instant of confrontation, the people inside and outside the Imperial City, and even many who were watching from afar, couldn't see clearly, but he saw it clearly!

In the instant that the five-colored light flashed past, Ying Tiandao's sword torrent, which was enough to tear apart the void, had no resistance at all.

It was like a swallow flying into the forest, taken into the Five-Colored Divine Light.

This was simply against all reason!

It should be known that although Ying Tiandao's 'Heavenly Evolution Reverse Order Sword' was not as famous as the Five-Colored Divine Light, it was also a top-notch divine power that had been famous for a time. Even if it was not as good as the Imperial Extremis World-Shocking Art, it wouldn't be too much worse. Otherwise, how could it have suppressed the Dragon Clan for tens of thousands of years?

If the Five-Colored Divine Light was so powerful, how could there be a theory of the Ten Great Divine Powers in ancient times?!

He reckoned that even he himself at this moment would not be able to defeat Ying Tiandao within thirty moves. How could this Daoist, how dare he?!

How dare he?!

"He, he..."

Behind him, the Crown Prince was also gritting his teeth.

He could hardly suppress the fear that came from his soul. If he hadn't desperately suppressed the throbbing in his heart, he might have fled for his life at this moment.

.......

"Five-Colored Divine Light..."

Zeng San's hand holding the recording talisman trembled, leaving a large patch of ink on the white dragon skin. Even he had not expected this battle to end so quickly, unbelievably quickly.

"The Grand Sacrificial Priest, defeated just like that?!"

"Is the Five-Colored Divine Light really so powerful? Is there really an invincible divine power in this world? Or is it that his cultivation has exceeded the level of Manifestation?"

"Creation?! He must be a Creation Golden Immortal! Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to suppress the Grand Sacrificial Priest so easily!"

After a brief silence, the Heavenly Alignment Platform was immediately in an uproar. Streams of divine power erupted, and the ten thousand cultivators, led by the seventy-two Dao Lords, retreated a step in unison, forming a great formation.

Looking at the Daoist in the sky, their hearts were filled with fear, apprehension, and horror.

"Whoosh!"

In the sky, the air currents blew past, and An Qisheng was neither happy nor angry, and did not care about the gazes of shock, awe, fear, and anger that the crowd on the Heavenly Alignment Platform dared not express.

He glanced faintly at Long Xingyi, who was holding his sword, lowered his eyes to the southwest of the Imperial City, and looked at the small courtyard that was still shrouded in mist:

"You two, can come together!"

Who?

The hearts of the many powerhouses who were paying attention to An Qisheng's every move all trembled, and they looked towards the south of the city, and thousands of gazes immediately created immense pressure.

If the great formation hadn't been humming and trembling, the south of the city would have been crushed and shattered by these many gazes.

"Hmm?!"

The moment An Qisheng lowered his eyes, the Antarctic Daoist in the small courtyard had already sensed something.

"Hong Xuan Daoist!"

Feeling the countless gazes of attention, the Antarctic Old Daoist slowly closed his eyes, cut off all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then, a long sigh of relief echoed in the hearts of everyone inside and outside the Imperial City!

"Come together? Hehe, hahahahaha!"

A cold and ruthless laugh, without the slightest hint of warmth, rose with the wind, echoing throughout the universe, above and below the earth.

"Where did this wind come from?"

On the Heavenly Alignment Platform, the many powerhouses who had not yet recovered from the shock of the previous battle suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

A tangible cool breeze roared from a corner of the south of the city.

It spiraled like a tornado, and in the instant it soared into the sky, it had already torn apart a corner of the great formation protecting the south of the city, ascending to the high heavens.

Boom!

The invisible fluctuations spread rapidly in the dark the moment the wind moved, and in an instant, it had spread to half of the Great Zhou, still non-stop, as if it wanted to envelop the entire Great Zhou.

Wherever it went, the heavens and the earth responded.

Mountains, rivers, plains, and even cities, all had wind dragons roaring, and then, soaring into the sky!

Rumble!

Thousands of wind dragons soared into the sky, sweeping up boundless spiritual energy, and the temperature of the air currents tore out hundreds of millions of hideous cracks in the sky, roaring, howling, and screaming.

Colliding with each other, traversing.

Howling towards An Qisheng in the sky above the Imperial City!

"How dare mere ants deceive me?!"
