Chapter 1729 — Bloodbath at Jade Cliff Pass
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 6
Though his Sword Dao foundation could not match monstrous talents like the Founding Emperor, Shen Mu, or Jiang Baigui, it was more solid and grounded. His Sword Dao's Thirtieth Heaven displayed battle power second only to the First Ancestor—truly dazzling beyond measure!
By the time his Sword Dao's Thirtieth Heaven fully unfurled, the golden molten metal and iron formed from the million divine weapons had transformed into the forms of thirty heavens, frozen solid!
Sword-light shone upon those thirty heavens.
Countless fine, dense Sword Dao runes leapt and danced within those heavens, like Sword Dao steel seals. The Sword Dao runes were the most fundamental sword moves, only twenty sword forms in all.
The twentieth form was the Sword Domain! The thirty heavens were like a massive Sword Dao divine artifact, appearing in all its splendid and magnificent glory amidst those dozen-plus Imperial Throne powerhouses.
These Imperial Throne powerhouses were dodging the Village Chief's sword-light.
By the time they evaded his sword moves, they suddenly realized they had fallen within this massive divine artifact! The Village Chief roared like thunder, driving his Sword Dao—yet this massive divine artifact did not stir in the slightest.
The successive generations of Human Sovereigns led the Jingping officers and soldiers beneath their command, standing in strict formation, ready to meet the charging Southern Heaven army. Seeing the Village Chief's face flushed red yet unable to activate that Thirtieth Heaven Sword Dao divine artifact, they hurriedly shouted, "Young Su!
Why aren't you activating your Sword Dao?
" "I don't have enough mana! " The Village Chief's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He truly wished to fully activate the power of this Sword Dao divine artifact, but the artifact's completion was beyond what his mana could command! The dozen-plus Southern Heaven Imperial Throne powerhouses each breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately charged toward the outside of the Thirtieth Heaven Sword Dao divine artifact, attempting to cut the Village Chief down before he could activate the artifact.
Just then, the First Ancestor Human Sovereign stepped forward: "Su Muzhe, Primordial Spirit Resonance!
" The Village Chief understood. His Primordial Spirit soared into the air, and the First Ancestor's Primordial Spirit flew out at the same moment.
The two Primordial Spirits crossed in midair, their vital energies converging—and the power of the Thirtieth Heaven Sword Dao divine artifact instantly erupted! The power of the Sword Dao divine artifact was immeasurably greater than the Village Chief's sword moves.
In an instant it enveloped those dozen-plus Southern Heaven Imperial Throne powerhouses.
The Sword Dao that burst forth in that moment created a magnificent spectacle of layered heavens rotating in the skies above the Southern Sea! In that instant, the brilliance of the Sword Dao was clearly visible even to the Southern Emperor, Qi Xiayu, and the others who were hunting down the remnants of the Southern Heaven forces. They could not help but look up.
"Has the Founding Emperor been reborn? Or has Lord Mu Tianzun made his move? " Qi Xiayu wondered, uncertain. The first heaven of the Thirtieth Heaven Sword Dao divine artifact was not particularly powerful, but the higher one went, the stronger it became.
Three Southern Heaven Imperial Throne powerhouses trapped in the Thirtieth Heaven were instantly devoured by the Sword Dao's power, sliced to pieces, their bodies and Primordial Spirits utterly obliterated! The other dozen-plus Southern Heaven powerhouses forced their way out, but were covered in wounds.
Most miserable were those in the Twenty-Ninth and Twenty-Eighth Heavens—scarcely a whole piece of flesh could be found on their bodies.
