Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

At the time of one million two hundred and seventy thousand years, Jiang Ding opened his eyes.

The aura on his body gradually converged.

There was no sudden enlightenment, no change in cultivation base. He did not need the intense emotional impact of his mother’s passing to perfect his Dao Heart. Everything seemed to return to how it was originally, only his temperament became colder.

”Let’s go back.”

”When I become immortal, I will return here again.”

Jiang Ding picked up his mother and sister and returned to the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot again.

No need for burial.

Because in the future, when the Supreme Great Sun becomes immortal, all beings from past times will be resurrected, eliminating the need for a funeral; they have not died.

...

Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot.

Jiang Ding sat upright on the Crystal Divine Throne, taking out a Grass Stem Jade Scroll sealed with numerous layers.

This was a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor Immortal Scripture. Without considering the hidden dangers, its value was immense, known as the foremost supreme treasure in the current Endless Starry Sky.

”’Grass Character Immortal Sword Scripture’...”

”Nine-leaf Sword Emperor, let me see your path...”

Jiang Ding murmured, opening the layers of seals on the jade slip.

A multitude of fertile flowers bloomed, and amidst them, the Grass Character Immortal Scripture runes unfolded, releasing a dark green Youming hue — the color of the Divine Soul Immortal Scripture.

This Immortal Scripture was like a giant continually growing tuft of grass, wispy and silky, extending outward endlessly.

”...Heaven has a soul, earth has a soul, life has a soul...”

”...Leaves serve as blades, dew as edges, countless grasses bristle with cold awns, roots travel like dragons and serpents tearing through Yellow Springs, stems traverse celestial bodies...cutting the souls of heaven, earth, and man...”

Jiang Ding instantly became enmeshed in this complete Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor Immortal Scripture, captivated by its awe-inspiring Sword Dao wisdom.

In a flash, Jiang Ding seemed to see a weed standing between heaven and earth, just an ordinary weed with no noble bloodline, no extraordinary ability, lacking even the innate ability of spiritual plants to absorb Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, destined to be mediocre, living a short life from dawn to dusk.

But one day.

This weed suddenly gained intelligence.

It quietly lay dormant, quietly grew, diligently learned everything in the world, enduring frost, rain, and dew, never discouraged or giving up; seeking without opportunity, observing heaven and earth for enlightenment without a cultivation method, retracing its steps when astray...growing step by step, understanding the essence of the souls of heaven, earth, and man from the nature of the cosmos.

For all things in heaven and earth, there must be a source.

This is the soul of all things.

Tracing the growth patterns of all things in heaven and earth, tracing the past and future of time, then finding the source, cutting it off—this is...the Nine-leaf Sword Dao!

Nine leaves!

Nine leaves!

This weed bore nine leaves: five leaves for joy, anger, sorrow, fear, and happiness; three leaves for destiny, space, and cause and effect; and the final leaf named ’Source’.

”Nine leaves, nine leaves...”

”The origin of all beings, the essence of all things...”

Jiang Ding was somewhat obsessed.

In an instant, he entered a deep state of Dao enlightenment, propelling the Nine Character Immortal Scripture project forward at an unprecedented terrifying speed.

Silently, a grass seed appeared in his Divine Soul, slowly absorbing these Dao thoughts to grow, continuously growing, spreading roots, grass leaves, producing new stems and leaves, gradually permeating throughout the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul, completing a gradual replacement.

This newly grown weed exuded the aura of destruction method and soul destruction, extremely terrifying.

In this moment, Jiang Ding felt himself transform into a weed, experiencing frost, snow, rain, and a brand new life, while the past life as a person was merely a brief period in his long existence, one that had been lived many times, transforming into human, monster, and god, experiencing countless separations and reunions, and that past of being human was not important.

Not important...

Not...

”No!”

”It’s not like this!”

”It’s not like this!”

Jiang Ding suddenly opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of fear.

”Nine leaves!”

”Nine-leaf Sword Emperor deserves the name of Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor!”

Jiang Ding felt a chill in his heart, watching the extremely brilliant and terrifying sword that the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor cut with Dao enlightenment as bait and Forbidden Area Scripture as trap towards him.

At this moment, the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul was battered and bruised.

The Sword Soul was riddled with wounds, grass leaves like the sores of attached bones rooted in the Divine Soul, constantly spreading, budding in the Green Youming weeds within the Divine Soul.

In just a brief moment, from merely one moment of enlightenment, the entire Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul was about to be usurped!

”Too terrifying.”

”The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor’s prowess in the Divine Soul has long been unmatched in history. In this regard, I can only look at his back from afar and cannot come close at all.”

Jiang Ding took a deep breath.

If it was during the resurrection era of the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor, just this strike would have completely stripped the foundation of that era’s Ancient Emperor!

Of course, if the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor was fully resurrected, Jiang Ding would escape immediately without hesitation and would not combat him for long, let alone comprehend his dangerous scriptures.

”Now...it’s also very dangerous.”

”If not handled well, it will be an eternal doom, I might completely be engulfed by this weed, and after thirty million years of an Ancient Emperor, be thoroughly devoured with no trace left behind!”

Jiang Ding’s gaze turned icy cold.

He made up his mind.

Buzz!

The Destruction Dao radiated brilliance.

A terrifying Destruction Sun formed by the will of twilight, sword Qi, and Destruction Sword Dao descended from the heavens, wielding the power of the Eyes of Silence and Immortal Eyes to suppress countless weeds within the Divine Soul, and along the way, destroy layer upon layer of alien forces not belonging to the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul, purifying it again.

In the realm of Sword Soul struggles, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor is not weaker than anyone!

Such a strike is enough to crush untold numbers of Ancient Emperors in history, even the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, unable to fully resurrect, can be effortlessly annihilated!

Boom!

Rumble!

The Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul within radiated destructive brilliance, destroying layer upon layer of weeds, rooting them out completely, leaving no trace of life.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, only a clean Divine Soul remained, with no foreign colors, yet it was increasingly weakened; this was akin to scraping bones to heal poison, excising flesh to heal, resulting in a heavy price paid by oneself.

”Finally...”

”To comprehend the Nine-leaf Sword Dao, one must be more cautious, prepare thoroughly before a second attempt.”

Jiang Ding exhaled lightly, but his gaze abruptly sharpened.

In the clean Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul, primarily all alien forces had been destroyed by the extreme Destruction Dao, washed clean, and everything returned to its original state.

However!

However, at this moment, a terrifying occurrence happened.

Deep in the Sword Soul, starry dots of grass seeds emerged, extremely minute, carrying an aura intertwined with the Soul Path and Destruction Dao, with shells densely wrapped in the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Talisman and Nine-leaf Original Ancient Talisman, forming a terrifying transcendental defense.

In this purified Divine Soul’s destructive strike, not only did it not perish completely, it instead evolved again!

It instead adapted even better to the environment of the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul!

Like a primitive forest after a wildfire, these grass seeds grew in mineral-rich soil, spreading, dark green grass leaves quickly sprouting a large batch, occupying every corner within the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul, becoming more robust, more devious, the weeds again covering layers of memories within the Sea of Consciousness.

”Nine leaves, Nine Lives, lurking, growing...”

Jiang Ding felt a chill, icy deathly premonitions constantly surfacing within his Sword Soul.

He suspected that if purification occurred once more, these weeds would transform and evolve again, completely uncontrollable, entering an irreversible state.

This strike by the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor is truly breathtakingly beautiful.
