This wasn’t the sword intent manifested by someone who learned the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Manual, nor was it solidified by concentrated sword-lights.
Instead, this was Prime Clear’s most treasured artifact!
During the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era, other than the Immortal Extermination Formation, which deterred all Eight Desolaces, the Lord of Prime Clear Numinous Treasures had personally used four swords to lay down the formation.
The ancient sword hovering amidst the dark radiance was listed among one of the four swords – the Immortal Slaughtering Sword!
After so many years, it finally resurfaced within the world, deterring all life forms present.
With so many presents, there ought to be knowledgeable individuals. After recognizing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, they became surprised, “May I be so bold as to ask you to identify yourself, owner of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword?”
After the series of warfare during the Ancient Era, the Prime Clear lineage ended up in defeat.
The Immortal Extermination Formation was broken through by four Dao Realm experts’ combined efforts, and the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords fell into the possession of the Jade Clear lineage.
According to the legends, the Jade Clear bigwig expert – Master Red Essence, had acquired the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.
However, Master Red Essence hadn’t appeared in the world for a long time. Moreover, during the Middle Journey to the West era, rumors stated that he had met his end. However, being a rumor, the truth was buried deep into the seas of mysteries.
During this era, there was also the apocalypse known as the Great Calamity, which resulted in more truths being buried within history’s specks.
Now that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was brought to light once again, how could those present not think astray?
If Master Red Essence hadn’t perished, then the one present would be the Daoism’s Grand Heavenly Immortal, an old expert that had acquired dao during the ancient Investitures of the Gods era.
Even if Master Red Essence had already perished, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword’s current owner might still be someone remarkable, someone possibly even more potent than Master Red Essence himself.
It wasn’t Fuluo Zi alone worrying. Even the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch halted his steps.
“The Immortal Slaughtering Sword’s former owner should’ve perished by the hands of the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil…” Smogs wreathed around the void, “However, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword’s owner had yet to change during that time. Who’s the current owner?”
As everyone remained surprised, Yan Zhaoge and the others slowly gathered around the dark radiance, rekindling their fighting spirits to prevent others from getting past them.
However, at that moment, Buddhist scriptures’ chantings resounded from the faraway golden lamp atop the green lotus.
Albeit being incomprehensible, everyone present understood what the queer musical notes were conveying.
It was the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s voice, “The person of yonder, thou art unqualified to wield such sword.”
Hearing this, the Buddhist Bhantes and the Demons got excited.
After a much more detailed analysis, Fuluo Zi, the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch, and other Grand Heavenly Realm experts realized that the horrifying sword intent deterring the entire universe mostly originated from the ancient sword itself.
While it emitted a suffocating presence, the awkward feeling vaguely leaking from within showed how much of a strong front the person was putting up.
While the ancient sword was strong and contained its intelligence, it didn’t possess its own will. Of course, this wasn’t caused by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Instead, without an owner with sufficient capabilities, the sword couldn’t possibly showcase its marvellousness.
Being made aware of this, the three factions relaxed a little.
Fuluo Zi, the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch, and other experts came back to their senses quickly and immediately started making their moves once again.
They quickly attacked Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Moreover, they were concentrated on Gao Qingxuan!
If this Jade Clear lineage Virtual Immortal acquired the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, even if she couldn’t possibly display its might to the fullest, it was sufficient in causing everyone to suffer.
Fuluo Zi and the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch were among the quickest experts present. One went after the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, while the other went after Gao Qingxuan, separating them from each other.
At that moment, under the dark radiances’ envelopment, two silhouettes appeared beside the ancient sword.
Upon making out who they were, Yan Zhaoge and the others were filled with joy.
A teenager in black stood by the right of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. An indifferent expression he had, paired with a pair of resolute eyes.
The woman standing by its left was a woman in green. Her brows were a work of art depicting a natural-born talent favored by the heavens.
The pair stood by each side of the ancient sword. Despite being enshrouded amidst the jet-black sword-light, their stylishness still shined brightly, pulling the strings of one’s heart.
They were the pair who had previously gone missing, Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye!
Previously, Gao Qingxuan and Yue Zhenbei had already received the two’s messages. However, after truly seeing Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye being unscratched, they were finally able to relax.
In front, bellows of Demons resounded, with groups of Devils prancing about. Moreover, the green lotuses of the Western Pure Lands were blooming about.
Now was not the time to have a chit-chat. With their unfazed expressions, Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye nodded their heads towards Yan Zhaoge, Yue Zhenbei, Gao Qingxuan, and the others. Then, they both extended their hands, holding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword with each of their hands!
Within Yu Ye’s pupils, queer phenomena were in play.
All sentient beings, the creations, the heavens, and the entire skies underwent a riotous profusion, stepping into the path of declination. Ultimately, everything returned to dead silence.
That was the ending of all eternity, the place of finality, the final form of the entire world’s dao.
It was neither death, obliteration, destruction, or samsara.
Death, destruction, termination, existence, concepts, meaning. All of these had also reached their state of finality!
Everything returned to nothingness, returning into the chaos, thoroughly losing the concept of a beginning and an end.
No foreshadowing of changes appeared by the chaotic void any longer.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge’s gaze suddenly lit up.
Yu Ye narrowed her eyes slightly. Within her pupils, an unrealistic-looking void resided within.
Being affected by this, her right hand, which grabbed the sword, cast the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Manual. As dark radiances wreathed around her, visions of the initial transformation appeared as if everything was to return to the silent chaos.
Death was a lifeform’s ending point.
At this very moment, Yu Ye seemed to be the ending point of death itself.
A fleeting brilliance shone from the ancient sword’s edge.
Then, the dark radiance enveloped around the ancient sword started continuously expanding outwards.
Dark gases thin as threads expanded outwards. The numbers were of abundance, causing them to spread densely throughout the cosmic void.
“Don’t get close to those dark threads!” Fuluo Zi yelled in a pressing tone, “Don’t even come in contact with them!”
As he yelled, he flapped his wings and avoided the incoming dark threads.
Others could feel its threat and quickly avoided it as well.
Only, some couldn’t make it in time.
Whenever a dark thread passed through an individual, it would disappear immediately. However, a mark would b
e left behind on that individual.
The mark would be engraved wherever the dark thread came in contact with.
Most of the dark threads passed through others’ necks. When a mark was left behind, they felt as if a sword slashed them.
Without knowing it, their life essence was already departing from their body.
A minority among them resisted with full force, attempting to secure their life through their fruitless struggles.
All these minorities had no marks engraved by their necks.
Some had it on their arms, their legs, or body. At the very least, no vital spots were touched.
Initially, they presumed that they managed to escape from death’s grip. However, when the dark thread came in contact with them, their life’s brilliance quickly dispersed from their bodies!
That ancient sword wasn’t the manifestation of a Prime Clear sword cultivator’s sword intent or sword-light.
It was the embodiment of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Manual, which had achieved its peak state. All the brilliant essences of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Manual were contained within.
If one didn’t have the art to counter it, being marked by the sword would only grant an instant death!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1454 - Prime Clear Ten Scriptures' Final Scripture – the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture!
A myriad of densely-packed lines pranced about in the vast void, turning into a whirlpool of death that engulfed the surroundings.
“How could a Leakless True Immortal utilize the Immortal Slaughtering Sword’s power to this degree?”
The group of experts secretly scowled within their hearts.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha, who was currently fighting against Feng Yunsheng, felt palpation in his heart.
His gaze seemed to have traversed through the planes of void and was directly staring at Yu Ye in front of her, in front of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.
Looking at the dead silent void within her eyes, which projected visions of the end of chaos, the Victorious Fighting Buddha came to a revelation.
Among all the other experts present, Fuluo Zi’s expression was filled with the most surprise.
He belonged to the Golden-Winged Great Roc Race. During the Ancient era, the Feathered Wings Immortal had studied under the Prime Clear Severing Sect.
As such, among the Demon Race, they held the most understanding towards Prime Clear supreme arts.
Fuluo Zi stared intently at the sword Yu Ye held and took in a deep breath.
Typically speaking, no matter how outstanding a prodigy was, they shouldn’t be capable of utilizing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword to such a degree.
If that’s the case, then only one possibility remains.
“Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture?!” said Fuluo Zi word by word with a gloomy expression.
Only those that cultivated the Prime Clear Ten Scriptures’ final scripture – the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture could utilize the Immortal Slaughtering Sword after ascending to the Immortal Realm.
When his comment came out, shock spread throughout the crowd.
Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture was one of the strongest Daoism Three Clear supreme arts. It was also listed among one of the strongest supreme arts in the entire world, a supreme scripture tailored to overwhelm even those beyond the Grand Heavenly Realm!
Just like the Peerless Heavenly Scriptures, rumors had it that only one person could cultivate it at a time.
Before the Prime Clear Lord of Numinous Treasure transcended, no one else would be eligible to cultivate it. Only after the Lord of Numinous Treasure transcends would an empty slot be available.
However, just like the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture had already been missing for many years.
The last intel regarding the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture was that it fell into the Lord of Plentiful Treasures’ possession, another person who had fully grasped the Immortal Extermination Formation.
However, the Lord of Plentiful Treasure vanished during the Middle era. As a result, an unparalleled supreme art like the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture had disappeared, with only its name remaining throughout history.
Finally, today, it re-emerged within the world once again!
Yu Ye raised her head and widened her eyes again. Her cold gazes filled with a dead silent void swept through other opponents like Fuluo Zi.
Those beneath the Grand Virtual Realm, no matter if they were Demons, Infernal Devils, or Buddhist Bhantes, chills were sent down their spine whenever her gaze passed through them.
Before Yan Zhaoge’s Fallen Deity Sword had appeared, the Immortal Extermination Formation was the only formation that allowed a Martial Saint to slay Immortals. Similarly, this implied that a True Immortal could slay a Profound Immortal, while the latter could also slay a Virtual Immortal.
If Virtual Immortal had Immortal Exterminating Four Swords in hand, it might even kill Celestial Immortals!
Other than the Immortal Extermination Formation’s marvellousness, it was mainly due to the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture.
Unfortunately, other than the Lord of Numinous Treasure, who had achieved the Dao Realm during the Early Heavens, only the Lord of Plentiful Treasure had come in contact with the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture.
As such, no one beneath the Grand Heavenly Realm had dared to insult this unparalleled supreme martial art.
However, no one doubted that the Prime Clear’s Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture could slash through the chasm existing between Immortals and mortals, True Immortals and Profound Immortals, Profound Immortals and Virtual Immortals, and possibly even between Virtual Immortals and Heavenly Immortals!
Rather than calling this an unparalleled supreme art, it was better to call this a supreme art of carnage.
Although only a tiny bit of aura leaked out, the devilish blue-black flames within Feng Yunsheng’s eyes started prancing about actively upon sensing the extinguishing chaos.
The devilish intent within her heart automatically grew more and more vigorous.
Lord of Numinous Treasure.
Doomsday Heavenly Devil.
The two were listed as the representation of Doomsday. Only, due to the fact that the Doomsday Heavenly Devil had never truly descended, nothing dire happened.
However, the two were truly opposing foes who fought for the same transcendent path of dao!
If the two co-existed together in the world, a battle would occur between the two.
Despite not being complete, the Doomsday Heavenly Devil authority which Feng Yunsheng acquired couldn’t possibly remain dormant.
“
Ha!
” Feng Yunsheng groaned. Then, her gaze regained its calmness, and her state of mind stabilized as well. Then, she continued brawling against the Victorious Fighting Buddha and her devilish intent.
As for Yu Ye, she waved the Immortal Slaughtering Sword once again.
Amidst the pitch-black light pillar as black as ink, the dark threads became denser and denser. They traveled about within the void, slashing towards her foes.
The Demon, Devil, and Buddhist factions could do nothing but evade them.
“Avoid coming into contact with the dark threads at all cost. Don’t be rash.” While staring at Yu Ye, Fuluo Zi said, “She’s just a True Immortal after all. She could only utilize the Immortal Slaughtering Sword thanks to the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture. After a while, her stamina would deplete.”
A True Immortal couldn’t possibly bear such depletion.
Not to mention a Prime Clear sword cultivator, who wasn’t known to condition their physique.
All the experts present weren’t some random joes and had gone through countless battles already. After Fuluo Zi exposed Yu Ye’s weakness, they realized what they should do to survive. Thus, they continued avoiding the dark threads and intended to launch a counter-attack later on.
Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Yu Ye launched one sword attack after another. The waves of attacks ebbed and flowed, its toughness beyond everyone’s expectations.
With the densely packed dark threads blotting the void, intertwining with each other, where could they possibly evade to?
At that moment, many others were struck by the sword.
No blood-stain to be seen, no maliciousness to be sensed.
Only a trace of black remained by their body. Yet, it also implied the arrival of death, the catalyst which they couldn’t avoid.
Wherever Yu Ye’s sword-light passed, she harvested the battlefield, reaping enemies’ life one after another.
“This is bad!” Seeing this, everyone complained in their hearts.
Yu Ye’s right hand held the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, while Nie Jingshen’s left hand covered her palm. Then, ethereal clumps of white brilliance vaguely flickered by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.
The white brilliance maintained form. It neither grew nor shrunk, never wavered, never suffered from any damage, and existed eternally.
As if it had already existed before the heavens were opened, and the earth was split apart. It existed outside of the vicissitudes of creation, prevailing its initial form.
In all actuality, Fuluo Zi’s guess was right.
If Yu Ye was alone, she definitely couldn’t deal with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword’s stamina consumption.
Even with Nie Jingshen, a threshold still existed.
However, within the limited amount of time they were given, they were already obliterating the enemy’s ranks, annihilating those that were in their way.
Albeit being horrifying, the dark threads seemed to harbor their own intelligence. With the myriad of threads flying about, it could still accurately avoid Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Yue Zhenbei, Gao Qingxuan, and the others quickly inched toward the ancient sword.
“Senior apprentice-brother Nie, senior apprentice-sister Yu, it’s great that you’re both unscathed.” Yan Zhaoge’s expression was filled with joy, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Yan Di, Yue Zhenbei, Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and the others had the same expression, “It’s great that you’re both fine.”
