Chapter 974 - 436: Ninth Sword
That vast, ancient, supreme aura of unparalleled dominance can no longer be concealed!
Instantly fills the entire Sword Tomb Space!
The starry sky is trembling!
The Laws are lamenting!
Even the eternally existing Sword Ring is shaking violently, as if unable to bear this breath!
"The seal is broken," Yu Kong’s face turned ashen, muttering to himself.
He knows...
The most terrifying thing has happened!
The forbidden existence sealed for endless ages
is finally going to reappear in the world!
At this moment, Xu Ran’s consciousness is enveloped by the endless golden light!
He feels himself merging with an incomparably vast, incomparably ancient will!
"I originally am"
A piece of information strong enough to overthrow all his understanding floods into his mind!
At this moment.
Buzz!
On the Sword Ring, the final region, the ninth region
suddenly lights up!
That light
is indescribable!
It seems to contain all colors yet surpasses all colors!
It seems to encompass all Laws yet transcends all Laws!
An essence as if from the beginning of the Cosmos, yet pointing towards its end, spreads from it!
The Ninth Sword!
The last and most mysterious sword!
What does it represent?!
Is it "Dao"?
Is it "I"?
Or some ultimate mystery beyond words?
Xu Ran lifts his head, his eyes now completely replaced by dazzling golden light!
He looks at that ninth light, his lips curling into a sinister and domineering smile.
"Has it finally come?"
His voice is no longer clear, but carries a sense of timeless majesty as if traversing endless time!
"The Ninth Sword!"
"Let me see."
"Are you qualified?"
Booming!
The light in the ninth region, like primordial Chaos or the return to silence of all things, instantly engulfs the entire Sword Tomb!
That’s not light, that’s the embodiment of "Dao"! That’s the whisper of the Cosmic Origin!
In front of this light, the starry sky seems to lose its color, the Laws tremble, and break like fragile spider silk!
Even the indestructible Sword Ring, bearing the eight most powerful Sword Intents, now emits a groan under unbearable weight! As if in the next instant, it would completely shatter into cosmic dust!
Yu Kong’s body is no longer trembling but stiff!
His eyes, filled with fear, have now been replaced by a deeper despair.
"The Ninth Sword, the sword in legend that touches ’the ultimate’"
"It, it really...exists"
"It’s over! Everything is over!"
He feels it, the breath emanating from the ninth region is not just powerful but a "judgment"!
A final verdict on everything, even the forbidden existence that was just unsealed!
This Sword Tomb isn’t a place of inheritance!
It’s a trap! A trap spanning endless ages, possibly at the cost of the entire Sword Tomb, or more! An absolute killing trap!
And the target is Xu Ran at this moment! No! It’s the ancient will occupying Xu Ran’s body!
"Judging me?"
Xu Ran, or rather, the existence merged with Xu Ran’s memory yet dominated by the ancient will, slowly speaks.
His voice carries an aloofness that overlooks eternity, seeing all beings as ants.
In the golden pupils, there is no surprise, only a hint of coldness provoked!
"A mere remnant of a rule imprint"
"dares"
"to judge me?"
The last word "me" bursts forth like celestial thunder!
Bang!
Endless golden light erupts madly from his body!
That is no longer mere light but a materialized will! The supreme authority!
Where the golden light passes, void boils! Time twists! Space collapses!
He himself seems like a moving Domain of destruction!
The "judgment" light projecting from the ninth region violently oscillates under this destructive golden will, emitting cracking sounds like mirrors shattering!
"Humph!"
A cold hum, like tens of thousands of divine demons roaring simultaneously!
"For me"
"break!"
He suddenly raises his hand!
No incantation, no activation of any Cultivation Technique.
Just so casually pointing a finger!
This finger
seems ordinary.
But...
In Yu Kong’s eyes, it seems to witness the birth and death of the Cosmos! The turnover of eras! The submission of all Dao!
That is the spoken Law! That is will as truth!
That is the "Dao" belonging to this existence before him!
A tyrannical force above all heavens and Dao, incomparable in dominance!
Whoosh!
An indescribable golden finger ray pierces through the void, disregarding distance, instantly pointing at the core of that ninth region light!
No earth-shattering explosion.
No lamenting collapse of Laws.
Only extreme silence!
As if sound, light, even thought were completely erased!
Next moment!
Crack, crack, crack!
That ninth region light, representing "ultimate judgment," shatters inch by inch like a soap bubble pierced by a mischievous child!
Light fragments scatter
then vanish into the void!
The Ninth Sword!
That legendary sword capable of judging all!
Has been shattered by a single finger!
Yu Kong’s mouth drops open, making hoarse sounds, yet not a word comes out.
His Dao Heart collapses completely in this moment!
Everything he knows, everything he reveres, seems so laughable in front of this finger! So insignificant!
"Is this the power of the forbidden?"
"Is this the existence that can disregard ’the ultimate’?"
Fear can no longer describe his mood at this moment.
