Chapter 1547: 1023 Ultimate Sword

"Young friend, impressive indeed!"

After a long silence, unable to find a suitable reason to express the shock in his heart, the Underworld River Ancestor spoke with a complex expression.

He was at a loss for words, only able to say that the art of divination truly lives up to its reputation and cannot be judged by common sense.

"How do you plan to save me, young friend?"

Suppressing his complex emotions for the moment, the Underworld River Ancestor asked somewhat excitedly.

Although the opportunity to escape came much earlier than he anticipated, the outcome was undoubtedly favorable. If he could escape a day earlier, he naturally wouldn’t want to wait any longer.

The Underworld River Ancestor was full of confidence that Jiang Chen could release him—because Jiang Chen was too strong, even stronger than him by three parts.

The Underworld River Ancestor had been sealed for so many years, but it was not entirely without gains. The boundless Sea of Blood was sealed along with him, and over the years, bored, he continuously studied the Sea of Blood.

Finally, after countless years of effort, he fully comprehended the mysteries of the Sea of Blood, perfected the Dao of Blood, and successfully stepped into the realm of the Saint.

It can be said that as long as the Underworld River Ancestor was willing to give up the Dao of Slaughter and switch to cultivating the Dao of Blood, he could immediately step into the realm of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial as soon as he was free.

However, the Underworld River Ancestor did not do so; he could not possibly give up the Dao of Slaughter.

In his view, the Dao of Blood was nowhere as powerful as the Dao of Slaughter. This was easy to see.

The Underworld River Ancestor was currently perfect in the Dao of Blood, yet he still could not break the seal imposed on him by the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.

But if the Underworld River Ancestor had perfected the Dao of Slaughter right now, he would not need Jiang Chen’s help and could forcibly break the seal by himself.

The gap between the two paths is evident from this.

It is not to say that the Dao of Slaughter is definitively stronger than the Dao of Blood, just that their emphases are different.

The Dao of Blood is adept at transformation, while it lacks in slaughter. In contrast, the Dao of Slaughter specializes in killing but lacks some versatility.

Because the Underworld River Ancestor was unwilling to give up the Dao of Slaughter, he chose to cooperate with Jiang Chen to break the seal left by the Saints.

As for the Dao of Blood, when the Underworld River Ancestor breaks through, his understanding of the Blood Dao will be transformed into resources, absorbed by the Dao of Slaughter, thereby enhancing its power.

There are no highs or lows in Dao, but there are strengths and weaknesses in people; different Dao manifest entirely different powers in different people’s hands, reflecting their different understandings of the Dao.

The same Dao of Slaughter, the more mysteries of other Dao it devours, the stronger its power naturally will be.

"Simple, I’ll just slash through this seal with a single sword stroke." Jiang Chen said with a light smile to the Underworld River Ancestor: "Ancestor, watch carefully and see how my understanding of the Dao of Slaughter compares to yours."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen’s fingers spread open and he grasped at the air. Suddenly, the winds and clouds changed color, the entire Chaos World, including all Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, were shaken.

The aura of slaughter flowing between Heaven and Earth seemed to be summoned at that moment, crossing endless space and time in an instant, converging into Jiang Chen’s hand.

Near Jiang Chen, in the mysterious and unknown void, numerous sword lights surged incessantly, colliding with each other, producing a cataclysmic wave of destruction.

The Supreme Killing Domain, formed by five top-tier Innate Killing Swords, is a lawless territory where even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial would be slashed into pieces by the terrifying sword intents.

In the five directions of this sword domain, each a floating Innate Divine Sword, namely Yuan Tu, Abi, Taichu, Dutian, Pure Yang, burst forth with the utmost supreme sword intent, each one stronger than the last, as if they could destroy thousands of Dao and exist eternally in the world.

Beneath the five Innate Killing Swords, lay a vast and profound Chaos, where the supreme mysteries unleashed by the collisions of the five strongest sword intents were silently devoured by the Chaos, imprinting it with supreme patterns.

This is the womb membrane of the heavens and earth, the embryo of a treasure, and a treasure Jiang Chen found beyond the Chaos realm, specifically for crafting the Chaos Killing Array Diagram to carry the supreme killing intents.

After many years of evolution, within this vast Chaos, a thread of the ultimate supreme sword intent has condensed, representing the essence of the five Innate Killing Swords and the display of the ultimate mysteries of the Dao of Slaughter.

At this moment, as Jiang Chen struck with his sword, in addition to the heavenly slaughtering air, he also stimulated this thread of the highest supreme sword intent.

Endless slaughtering air surged from all directions, forming a blood-colored long sword in Jiang Chen’s hands. Simultaneously, the supreme sword intent nurtured by Chaos fused within it, sharpening this blood-colored killing sword and endowing it with unmatched sharpness.

The sword had not yet moved, but the terrifying sword intent was already sweeping across, enveloping the entire Chaos World in an instant.

Under this terrifying sword intent, the temperature of the entire world dropped several degrees, filled with an austere killing air, making all powerful beings feel a chill down their spine, a cooling sensation from deep within.

"This kind of killing aura..."

"Has the Slaying God Spear reemerged?"

An ancient Great Divine Transcendent uttered to himself in fear. The overwhelming killing intent pervading between Heaven and Earth made him bewilderedly think the Slaying God Spear had reappeared.

In the world, perhaps only the Slaying God Spear could unleash such a terrifying supreme sharpness.

"This sword intent is truly powerful; if I can unleash such sword intent after attaining my Dao, then I would be completely content," the Underworld River Ancestor, being the closest, felt the power of this sword intent most deeply and couldn’t help but express his inner sentiments.
