Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1027 How can a divine sword forged through countless trials compare to a body that has been diligently trained? (15)

However, just as An Jing punched Taiyang Zhuzhou away, he sensed something was wrong.

It doesn't feel right.

Although the Sun Candle is a primordial spirit composed of light, it shouldn't be this 'light'. Especially since the primordial spirit's physical body is connected to the void spacetime, even if it has no weight, it should feel like it was being dragged and blasted out of the void by An Jing's punch.

But the feel didn't come...

Could it be that? !

All thoughts flashed by in an instant. An Jing opened his eyes wide, and sure enough, at the very moment he unleashed the Rising Dragon Fist, the head of the sun candle that had been blasted into the sky suddenly accelerated like a rocket and completely separated from its massive body!

Not only that, but its headless, serpentine bird body twisted in mid-air, and the blue fusion flames burning around it suddenly contracted and turned into a destructive pure white, mercilessly wrapping around An Jing, preparing to self-destruct!
"What kind of fighting style is this?!"

Even An Jing was momentarily stunned by this decisive, bizarre, ingenious, and unbelievable battle tactic—it wasn't that he hadn't thought of such a self-sacrificing tactic, but could such an ancient and primordial creature as Zhu Zhou have such a modern tactical mindset?

A headless rocket, a headless body exploding? What kind of ancestral spirit is this?!
But there was no time for shock and emotion, because the real killing began the moment the self-destruction was initiated!
As An Jing's sword cleaved through the Sun Candle's charge, it also severed the frozen spacetime. At this moment, the Yin-Yang millstone, created by Mo Kongche and Cang Anqi, one above and one below, representing heaven and earth, crashed down with a deafening roar!

From the heavens came the ultimate purifying light activated by Mo Kongche. It was a sword and axe of judgment composed of extremely high-purity light and heat, containing no impurities. It was theoretically the most perfect method of exorcising demons. Any being purified by it would have its essence completely restored. Even if one was corrupted by the Heavenly Demon by accident, to outsiders, this pure light would appear to have been tainted with color, and would be discovered immediately.

What came from the abyss was a giant hand of blood energy activated by Cang Anqi. It was a pure material life form, a manifestation of the power of creation. As long as it came into contact with something, it could transform and corrupt all matter, turning it into its own nourishment.

In the realm of divine treasures, no one can simultaneously withstand the 'purification of destruction' of pure spiritual energy and the 'invasion of creation' of pure material phenomena. This is a combined attack from heaven and earth. Moreover, at the core of its millstone, there is a manifest ancestral spirit that self-destructs without hesitation!

Theoretically speaking, anyone, even a manifested saint, would surely die under such circumstances.

But Anjing can.

It's easy!

Because it is not only a martial arts treasure, but also an immortal's purple palace!

At this moment, Anjing's domain suddenly expanded, like a drop of extremely concentrated ink falling into endless water. Although it was suddenly diluted, it rapidly transformed everything in the world into its own domain!

The reason why the Huai Xu Realm cannot easily activate the Immortal Path is because the realm is filled with demonic energy, which will erode and distort any Immortal Path spiritual power.

But the Realm of Scales is different; there is no demonic energy here!
Martial arts are about mechanics, immortality is about numerical values.

Now, Anjing's expanded domain is operating rapidly. The invisible force of control is no longer just distorting space and time, but has transformed into an invisible maw, forcibly controlling all the spiritual energy in the world around them, whether it is the martial artists who are watching or the geniuses who are launching attacks!
In that instant, everyone fell from mid-air and from the sky. The shocked martial artists all felt that all the spiritual energy in the world had disappeared.

Or rather, to be completely dominated by an entity!
[Heavenly Furnace Contains the Dao]!
At this moment, An Jing's body seemed to transform into a colossal, unparalleled furnace of the void. If he was currently being besieged by the seven powerful figures and was trapped in a cage, then now, the vast spiritual energy he controlled enveloped the millstone of heaven and earth, which was capable of destroying an army, along with all the spiritual energy it carried, and in turn, trapped the seven powerful figures in a cage as well!
Boom! The Yin-Yang Millstone crashed down, but its power was not as high as expected. This was because Mo Kongche and Cang Anqi had to turn their attention to the furnace domain formed by An Jing's control of spiritual energy in the outside world, in order to avoid being refined and annihilated by An Jing!

Dealing with the self-destruction of the solar candle is even simpler.

An Jing forcibly controlled the boundless spiritual energy with his immortal powers, instantly amplifying it all onto his 'Tai Bai Battle Armor'. On the armor, Tai Bai divine restrictions lit up wildly, and its defensive power surged at this moment, briefly reaching a level comparable to a true Manifestation Saint True Monarch!

boom! ! ! !

An indescribable, massive explosion occurred, as if the heavens and the earth were forcibly turned upside down at that moment.

Light and blood, purification and creation, and the destructive power of the self-destruction of the candle—the collision of these three forces created a huge golden sphere of light between heaven and earth. It shattered and dissolved everything, and the aftershocks caused terrifying hurricanes and tornadoes to appear between heaven and earth, blowing away mountains and changing the color of the world!

In the center of the storm, a figure slowly emerged. An Jing's Taibai battle armor was already damaged in many places, with cracks covering the crimson plates.

However, it is precisely because of this damage that the perfectly intact flesh beneath is revealed.

The body, with its flowing, electronic-like patterns, was imbued with a divine, white-gold light that seemed to flow beneath its skin and muscles, as if it were not flesh and blood, but divine steel, the very concept of 'solidity' itself.

The smooth muscles and pectoral muscles were faintly visible beneath the shattered armor plates, before being slowly covered by the rapidly regenerating dragon scale armor.

An Jing was unharmed, but took a deep breath to recover from the stagnation caused by the overload of his immortal domain.

But at that very moment, as Anjing stepped out of the storm, the old power exhausted and the new power yet to be generated, and the armor was being repaired!

A blood-red blade of light appeared silently, striking with the utmost venom and precision, a perfect strike aimed directly at the flesh and blood on An Jing's back that was not completely covered by the Taibai Battle Armor!
It is the hidden Lian Baizheng!
Its divine weapon, [Invading God and Annihilating Life], combined with the 'Great Shattering Blade Force' of the Refining True Path, can shatter all defenses and then plunder everything that is shattered!

Just as a creature's flesh and blood are gnawed and ground by teeth, and then digested and absorbed, all the forces that are attacked and crushed by them will, in turn, strengthen the attack itself.

In other words, once the initial defense is breached, even the most powerful defense will be completely cut apart and severed by this ever-increasing barrage of attacks!
Once the defense is broken, a fatal blow is assured! This is the Great Annihilation Blade Force!
However, just as the blade was about to strike, the flow of time suddenly changed.

An Jing, who should have turned his back to him, turned around in a manner that defied the laws of physics, and looked at Lian Baizheng, who was attacking him, with an impossible reaction.

—How did he realize that?!

Lian Baizheng was stunned for a moment, but his martial arts instincts made him continue to slash down with all his might.

The crimson divine blade struck An Jing squarely in the back. Even Duan Chenguang, who had fought him before, never dared to use his physical body or even his divine weapon to take this blow head-on!

But he immediately understood why An Jing dared to do it.

Keng!
Instead of the dull thud of flesh being cut open, a clanging sound of metal clashing rang out!

Centered on the point of contact between the blade and flesh, the crimson shattering blade energy and the Taibai Divine Restriction illuminating An Jing's skin and muscles transformed into two lines of law, red and white, frantically intertwining and colliding. An Jing's own body, with its countless muscle fibers, was like countless Taibai Divine Swords, firmly resisting the incoming attack.

Lian Baizheng's crimson sword energy, falling like raindrops, struck An Jing's muscles and sword energy, but none of them could completely break through or defeat it!
In the end, a red mark appeared on Anjing's skin, which looked like blood, but in reality, it could only be said that a little bit of internal capillary rupture had been pressed out!
"Little Sword is a madman!"

Seeing that his attack had failed, Lian Baizheng felt the terrifying backlash coming from An Jing's body and shouted wildly in Yue Qingge's direction, "Did you see anything? If you don't, I'm about to be kicked away!"

“I can’t see!”

In the distance, cold sweat beaded on Yue Qingge's forehead. Besides trying to suppress An Jing's actions, he was frantically trying to figure out An Jing's abilities and trump cards—but no matter how he calculated, he couldn't understand them!

Unlike the flaw that was immediately apparent in Sun Candlelight, even with his 'Path of Law' immortal cultivation, he couldn't find any flaw in An Jing!

"The solidity beyond sharpness, the defense beyond penetration, is also part of the Way of Taibai."

At this moment, An Jing spoke. His muscles bulged suddenly, and a tremendous force surged back along the blade, knocking Lian Baizheng and his sword away together!

"And speaking of the Way of Taibai."

An Jing's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of certainty: "How could a mere divine blade forged through countless trials compare to this body I have diligently trained?"
