Chapter 1316: Chapter 1284: The Cruelty of the Immortal Path World

The eyeless giant wielded the Sky-opening Giant Axe, as if gripping a metallic star. Breaking through the atmosphere, the axe blade ignited flames from intense friction, crashing down upon the small city.

At the center of the small city, a boy sitting beside his laptop in the self-study room had his mouth slightly agape.

“No…”

“Spare me! I beg you, spare me!”

His legs went weak, urine soaked his pants entirely, and he screamed in terror: “I only took one glance, just one glance! I didn’t provoke you! Spare me!”

Earlier, he was anything but calm while watching the eyeless giant.

He had been utterly petrified!

Frozen in place!

Boom!

The eyeless giant, consumed by fury, couldn’t make sense of anything. The axe fell ferociously.

With that single strike, the entire small city turned to dust—its high-rise buildings crumbling inch by inch into powder. At the heart of it, the boy, along with his self-study room and the central commercial street, vaporized into the slightest of road particles, without a trace of flesh, without even the faintest mist of blood to be found. Completely obliterated, devoid of a single bone.

No one knew that, at that moment, the unknown dimensional gaze had vanished.

…

After an indeterminable amount of time.

When that sneaky, cautious, ever-ready-to-escape gaze peered again.

“Roar!”

The eyeless giant’s battlefield had already transformed into the cosmic starry sky!

He roared to the heavens, spreading chaos as powerful as the governing rules themselves, solidifying the starry sky. Swinging his axe, he faced layer upon layer of encirclement—billions of warships, planetary fortresses, and orbital cannons.

With that strike from his axe—despite being the most primitive weapon of cold steel—it seemed as if an object of unfathomable mass, capable of collapsing space and forming a black hole, had been hurled by some unknown civilization to annihilate the mother star of this interstellar society.

“Beep beep beep!”

“Presumed to encounter 2.5th-level civilization with infinite-energy cold weapons culture, employing black holes as weapons…”

“Activate all nine planetary orbital cannons!”

Amid countless electromagnetic wave signals, innumerable generals screamed themselves hoarse, unleashing the entirety of their civilization’s forces—an explosion of everything within their deep reservoir.

In the starry void, nine massive planets began to move simultaneously, dragged by billions of warships. At a specific moment, they converged into a near-straight formation. The trembling of the nine planets was almost seismic—their magnetic fields flickered wildly, while catastrophes shook the lands below.

In that instant, the heavens fell into complete silence.

Boom!

A terrifying beam of light pierced through the cosmic star rivers!

A single light beam shone across the entire cosmos, radiating boundless energy as it descended in an instant, landing upon the civilization-grade black hole weapon in the form of a giant axe.

Boom!

Boom-boom!

The terrifying beam of light clashed briefly with the Sky-opening Giant Axe. Ultimately, the eyeless giant couldn’t resist, spewing blood as he staggered backward. The oppressive aura of chaotic order around him lessened significantly, blackened wounds appearing across his body.

Meanwhile, the nine planetary orbital cannons of the starship civilization shifted once again—this time not forming a straight line but naturally aligning into the pattern of the Beidou Seven Stars. They were pulled by billions of battleships, radiating destructive light. The cosmic heavens once again welcomed light—blazing, annihilating, and purifying all.

Boom!

A second terrifying beam of light pierced through the cosmic star rivers!

The eyeless giant fought valiantly to resist, chaos spreading across the star river as his axe, as dense as a black hole, fiercely clashed against the terrifying beams from the nine planetary orbitals. He split beam after beam with his axe, seemingly invincible, yet his injuries and mana consumption were becoming dire.

Still, the fleets of the starry sky seemed endless—obliterated in droves, only to reappear en masse shortly after. The cycle of assault showed no signs of an end.

The situation inevitably declined. An icy premonition of death surfaced in the Divine Souls of the Nine Great Daoists.

“What kind of damned place is this?”

“We can’t go on like this!”

“Tianji! You useless fool! Have you found this world’s flaw yet?”

An Tuzi cursed wildly.

He had always been spineless, sensing danger like a cicada afraid of an early autumn breeze. He took pride in his cowardice, but this time his panic turned into unrestrained rage.

That wretched creature cared nothing for old classmates or past ties.

This vile thing’s most favored hobby was beating his old classmates to death!

“Shut up!”

“This is the Human Dao within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Ordinarily not too remarkable, though riddled with various demonic techniques. But as an inheritance of the overlord of the endless starry sky, augmented by the Central Array Spirit Computer’s deductions, repeatedly simulated computations—it’s not so easy to spot any flaws!”

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist replied coldly.

Drop by drop, sweat rolled down from his forehead, pooling into puddles on the ground. His Divine Soul-calculative power ran at maximum capacity; his Life Treasure—the computational abacus—groaned as it strained, yet there was no solution.

“If we fail to break through this world, we will die!”

Ji Liuyue desperately employed Life Order to heal the eyeless giant’s wounds, her face pale and fragile, evoking pity as she mournfully said, “I can sense that our attacks have not caused any substantial damage to the Human Dao. Instead, they bolster the mana of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, further enhancing its operations.”

“If this continues, death is inevitable!”

“Understood.”

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist sighed bitterly.

He bit his tongue hard, drawing forth a scorching droplet of essence blood, which landed on his Life Treasure—the abacus—causing its brilliance to flare. For a brief moment, Divine Soul-calculative power surged severalfold, illuminating his thoughts.

“The northeast corner—here.”

“I’m only 73% confident!”

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist declared with icy composure.

“Good enough! 73% is fine!”

Xuanwu Daoist exclaimed with joy, Ji Liuyue also rejoiced, and An Tuzi’s eyes sparkled. All the Daoists finally glimpsed a sliver of hope and began burning their essence blood simultaneously.

“Roar!”

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The eyeless giant’s aura surged dramatically, roaring at the heavens.

The Sky-opening Giant Axe in his grip vanished into thin air, while the dual vortexes atop his head brightened suddenly, devouring chaotic order as though swallowing whales, merging it within themselves. A terrifying pressure expanded outward, momentarily slowing and stagnating the movements of the billions of fleets surrounding him.

In an instant, the two vortexes revealed twin beams of chaotic light—one black, one white.

The two black-and-white chaotic beams intertwined, rotated endlessly, resembling the primordial strands of innate yin-yang light at the dawn of creation, capable of destroying and dissolving all in an instant.

“Is that the flaw…”

An Tuzi’s lips quivered.

Around them, the cosmic star river suddenly fell silent.

Billions of fleets, nine planetary orbital cannons, and the countless billions of inhabitants on the planets—all paused for a fleeting, yet entirely perceptible moment that was unmistakable to Nascent Soul Cultivators.

“It worked!”

“Fight! Break through!”

The surrounding Daoists roared.

The eyeless giant’s light flared brightly—the innate Yin Yang Qi mysterious light gleamed in radiant pillars, erupting with ultimate power, annihilating and dissolving into the starry sky, as if evaporating into silence.

Finally, within a razor-thin margin of time, a small breach appeared in the starry void, revealing what resembled the real world beyond.

“Go!”

“Quickly! Quickly!”

The Nine Great Daoists burned their essence blood in unison, maneuvering the eyeless giant, who let out a swift whistle and flew into the breach, disappearing entirely.

…

Back in the exterior world.

In the starry sky, Jiang Ding gazed coldly at the Nine Great Daoists who had escaped from the Human Dao.

“After countless simulations,”

“The Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Skill still has flaws. Practical combat is essential for refining sword techniques.”

Clang!

He drew his sword again, slashing towards the Nine Great Daoists who had fled the Human Dao reincarnation.

With that strike, the Six Paths reincarnation appeared faintly in the cosmos, spinning endlessly before freezing into the distorted order of the Great Sun, transforming into the Beast Dao—a ceaseless cycle of mutation serving as an inexhaustible force for life’s evolution.

“Shine brightly, fellow Daoists.”

Jiang Ding remarked blandly. “I can sense you still hold reserves of strength, have prepared countless trump cards and secret techniques, and have yet to burn your flesh or Divine Souls. You still have a chance for one incredible move—display it to me, then perish.”

“I’ll remember your existence. Even years from now, I’ll…”

Jiang Ding’s tone suddenly faltered.

“Damn it!”

He erupted in fury, shouting obscenities. “You bastards! You are shameless! Damn it! DAMN IT! No honor…”

In the distance, the Heavenly Calculator Daoist, who had just escaped the Human Dao, looked calm.

He took out a talisman.

This talisman was forged in the Shadow Demon Abyss, crafted personally by a Great Expert of the abyss. It was one of the most elite masterpieces among the domain’s escape techniques.

“The Dharma-Ending City Imprint…”

Regret writ large on the Heavenly Calculator Daoist’s face.

He hesitated for a moment, refraining from using it directly against Jiang Dingzi, then activated the talisman. A terrifying shadow ruled power momentarily erupted—it was an exceptionally strong shadow-rule force, even among peak Refining Void cultivators, disappearing in a flash, enveloping the Nine Great Daoists, removing them entirely.

These magical cultivator Daoists had absolutely no intention of fighting to the death.

They clearly retained reserves of ace cards, reserves of power. They had a one- or two-percent chance of winning, yet they chose flight.

And not even flight by their own power—but by relying on the strength of their elders!

Utmost shamelessness.

“Damn it all!”

“The despicableness of magical cultivators—the pinnacle of disgrace.”

Jiang Ding gritted his teeth.

The truth remained that, barring special terrain such as the Yin-Yang Void Domain and the Yama Hell’s Equal King Array, it was near impossible for a magical cultivator to duel a swordsman fairly. There simply wasn’t that possibility.

Even then, this wasn’t the limit of their shamelessness.

After the Nine Great Daoists had escaped, eight talismans crafted from Sixth-rank Divine Gold—each a top-grade Sixth-rank attack talisman forged by eight Great Experts—unleashed terrifying brilliance upon the Dari Swordsman.

As the saying goes, “When the upper beam isn’t straight, the lower beam will sway.”

Where the young are shameless, their elders are even more so. Bullying the young not only carried no shame but was regarded as a badge of honor. This was the foundational belief of cultivation—to wield power by oppressing the weak.

“The domains of existence remain pitiless indeed…”

Jiang Ding sighed helplessly.

Hum!

From the center of his brow, the Dharma-Ending City Imprint unfolded itself spontaneously, forming an absolute, silent cosmic city. Everything around him was subdued into utter tranquillity. Within a radius of 100,000 kilometers, all fell into the state of the Soulless Universe—effacing all essence, the annihilation force boundlessly overpowering, suffocating every living being.

After an uncertain wait, the chaos settled in silence.

Jiang Ding looked out; the Nine Daoists had completely vanished—not a speck, not a hair, no traces to track.
