Chapter 325: Chapter 182: Great Heaven’s Sanctification (9k Major Chapter)_5

This was a power far surpassing that of a typical Manifesting Holy, any stroke of Divine Thunder among these, if it were to strike between heaven and earth, would instantly melt everything within hundreds of miles, utterly turning a part of the world into scorched earth; the destruction imprinted within the void would continue to cause storms of thunder for decades, even centuries.

"Why go to such lengths?"

Mingguang Dust could not comprehend, and he had to fully maintain the defense of the Mirror of Myriad Transformations. Although the self-detonation of Divine Weapons was tremendously terrifying, without control by a peer at the same level of sanctification, such power was too great and lacked precision, uncontrolled, and might even backlash against oneself.

The body of the Mysterious Swordsman was vaporized and melted in an instant, but his Hollow Spiritual Soul seized this power to escape Mingguang Dust’s lock, and without any hesitation, fled into the Great Void.

"Don’t even think about it!"

A disheveled Mingguang Dust roared in anger. Ignoring the consequences, he risked Divine Skill imbalance and Thunder Light piercing his body, with his Dharma Body damaged, he still tried to stop the opponent.

Divine lights flickered in his eyes, Divine Intention sharp as a blade pursued the Mysterious Swordsman and struck his soul and spirit first!

Hum!

A silent scream arose, fragments of the soul spirit flew apart, and in this pure soul spirit clash, Mingguang Dust’s self-confidence and joy from the recent Manifesting Holy quickly vanished into nothingness, leaving him feeling as if he had plummeted into an ice cave.

For he had read the thoughts of the Mysterious Swordsman.

—That An Jing is certainly not an ordinary Divine Mandate... Even the Complete Circuit Destiny Mirror of the Endless Heavens could not discern a single detail about him, this must be an Emperor’s Divine Mandate... perhaps even the Heavenly Mandate!

—The Heavenly Mandate of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent could only possibly be the "Seven Fiend Tribulation", which is contrary to the plans within the sect, and no matter what the cost, he must return and report!

—He must immediately mobilize the Dark Hand in the northern part of the Xuan Sacrifice, exhaust all efforts, and exterminate this uncontrolled Seven Fiend!

"Don’t even think about it!"

Mingguang Dust had long suspected, his heart had acknowledged that An Jing was the "Heavenly Mandate", but he was not sure whether it was the "Nature Master" or the "Seven Fiend Tribulation"... and now, this Mysterious Swordsman had proven it for him.

Yet, were they actually trying to control the Heavenly Mandate? An uncontrolled Seven Fiend... they intended to exterminate it?

—How could I possibly let you succeed!

Mingguang Dust’s whole body trembled with intense light. If it was indeed as the information reflected in his Heart Mirror indicated, the faction behind this swordsman and their plans...

He made up his mind.

Boom!

The All-Heaven Mirror of Myriad Transformations shattered again, Mingguang Dust, using his restored Divine Technique, despite the severe injuries to his newly recovered Dharma Body, burst through the seventeen true Divine Thunders, charged into the Great Void, and pursued the Mysterious Swordsman’s soul and spirit!

Divine Technique and Divine Sword clashed against each other causing endless turmoil in the Great Void, with Mingguang Dust soaring into the void.

Meanwhile, a flow of the Mirror Self Technique transformed into light, detached from the original body, and shot towards Kanming City.

In the Great Void.

Amidst chaos, Mingguang Dust rapidly shuttled through the Great Void, trying to catch up with his enemy.

Still, as Dharma Body could not match the pure Soul Spirit, Mingguang Dust’s speed was still a bit slow, he couldn’t catch up with the Mysterious Swordsman’s soul and spirit.

"I absolutely cannot let you return!"

With this in mind, Mingguang Dust, without any hesitation, activated the Great Void Secret Technique of the Endless Heavens!

Inside the Great Void, feeling the surrounding cosmic intent suddenly twist violently, the originally stable target began to become chaotic, randomly deviating endlessly, the Mysterious Swordsman screamed incredulously, "Have you gone mad! To activate the Great Void Shuttle Skills of the Endless Heavens at this moment!]

[This way, we’ll completely leave Embracing the Void, almost never able to find our way back!]"

"What of it!"

Mingguang Dust’s gaze was deep yet his heart was clear, he laughed loudly, "As my disciple truly holds the Heavenly Mandate, and is even the Child of the Approaching Catastrophe capable of bearing all the karma and consequences, why would I not believe he could find me?"

"Not to mention, if not for my disciple, I would have long been dead under your sword... Since it is so, of course, I need to remove all the future threats for my disciple."

"At all costs."

All exchanges happened in a flash, and the next moment, the pitch-black Great Void Abyss emerged amidst extreme distortions, instantly swallowing the Soul and Spirit of the Mysterious Swordsman along with the Mingguang Dust.

Meanwhile.

Southern Wilderness.

At the depths of the tranquil Great Abyss, the remnants of ferocious Demon Spirits lay silent; numerous twisted and eerie Soul Spirits wandered and floated among them, devouring any creature that dared to approach.

Yet, in such an extremely dangerous environment, there lay a giant creature with white fur, resembling a bull, with one eye and a snake’s tail.

The Arcane Ancient Sinister Beast, a pure-blood True Spirit, the Great Mountain Roc, suddenly opened its lone eye, showing immense shock as it sensed that its Endless Heavens companion, with whom it had formed a pact, had suddenly disappeared.

Although not dead, if trapped in chaos forever, unable to meet again, what difference would there be from death?

It bellowed, "Ming!"

Zhongheng Dao Continent.

In the Ancestral Dragon Hall, Jin Yanhua tightly embraced Ruohui, who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion. The normally forthright and unrestrained Dragon Lady was now suppressing her emotions, her body trembling slightly.

She closed her eyes, tears falling along her cheeks, wetting the young girl’s hair.

On the other side.

As An Jing was merrily collecting spoils from Bo Zongshan and Fu Zheng’an, he suddenly saw a ray of setting sun’s light.

The fading light transformed into the Mirror Self Technique of Mingguang Dust who appeared before An Jing, ready to greet him. Without a word, he simply reached out his hand, patted An Jing’s shoulder, then dissipated, leaving behind some items.

An Jing blankly accepted them, among them a strange piece of a sword blade imbibed with the essence of thunder, and Mingguang Dust’s entrusted Divine Sense.

"What’s this all about? Why not a single word?"

He turned his head somewhat puzzled, looking in the direction of Mingguang Dust’s Great Heaven’s Sanctification, and then read the Divine Sense within it.

Suddenly, An Jing’s expression dramatically changed.

"Hurry, leave Kanming City immediately, An Jing!" Mingguang Dust’s Divine Sense straightforwardly warned him, "The Endless Heavens Traveler targeting me secretly is a Daoist Disciple of ’Shangxuan Sect’ from Divine Thunder Peak!"

"He has discovered that you are the Heavenly Mandate and is currently planning to go back and report to the sect. Although I could only drag him into the abyss of chaos—I have performed the Great Heaven’s Sanctification and am unscathed—but it is difficult to return. You must be careful!"

"This fragment is a remnant of the Divine Weapon ’Guangchen,’ the only piece left as all others have been melted away by my Divine Skill. Nobody knows their true identity... Take it back, take it back to the Bright Mirror Sect! Your teacher and Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor will understand..."

"Quickly leave Kanming City, this place is a breeding ground for troubles, try to return to the Northern Border as soon as possible... There’s no need to hide your identity, as long as you stay under everyone’s eyes, the various powers won’t dare to act against you, but do not stay in Kanming City, too many people are lurking in the shadows here..."

"Don’t worry about me."

To show he still had some strength left, Mingguang Dust even cracked a joke at the end, "Frankly speaking, there’s not much more I can teach you. But your grandteacher, Chenyinzi, is quite adept at nurturing disciples; let him take over your training."

"No, what is this, I did everything so perfectly, and yet there’s still an unexpected turn!"

Shocked and anxious, An Jing clenched his teeth, his heart filled with worry for Mingguang Dust’s current situation. Yet, he also knew that all his worries were pointless, and he could only comply, "This cheap teacher of mine...taught me for just a few days and then said there’s nothing left to teach. Teach me for a few more days, then!"

He tucked the Divine Sword Fragment into his chest, then picked up the spoils he had collected and, without hesitation, dashed towards the direction of the Great Void Ritual Altar.

The Great Void Ritual Altar, with An Jing’s arrival and activation, flickered in silvery blue brilliance, and a snow-white landscape emerged at the far end of the Great Void.

An Jing took a deep breath, turned his head back for one last look at the empty Kanming City, which had seen several tribulations in just a few short months, and then, without any lingering thoughts, he stepped forward into the Northern Border.

Just as An Jing crossed through the Great Void Passage, the entire ritual altar subtly vibrated and then abruptly disappeared, hidden within the Great Void.
