Chapter 1548: 1023 Extremely Sword_2

After achieving enlightenment, to be able to emit such brilliance and feel completely satisfied, one could see how highly Elder Ancestor Underworld River regarded this sword, a force that he could never reach in his current state.

"Haha, Elder Ancestor, it’s too early to admire it now, my sword is not yet complete."

Hearing the praises of Elder Ancestor Underworld River, Jiang Chen laughed loudly and once again mobilized his Divine Ability, enhancing the might of his sword.

"Execute, Trap, Annihilate, Massacre, Suppress!"

The illusory shadows of four immortal swords emerged from the void, spreading a terrifying intent to kill that enveloped everything. In Heaven and Earth, they reflected the ghastly visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the fall of gods and demons.

This is the Four Immortal Execution Swords, the final technique of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had already mentioned that he planned to rescue Elder Ancestor Underworld River and frame the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord or, to put it another way, to frame the Demonic Way.

To accomplish this, while rescuing Underworld River, he naturally needed to use the Divine Ability of the Demonic Way.

The Four Immortal Execution Swords, though now a treasure of the Mystic Sect, was in the past a genuine treasure of the Demonic Way. It was not born from Heaven and Earth but was personally forged by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, a top Innate Treasure.

In order to forge the Four Immortal Execution Swords, the Demon Ancestor even created a matching Divine Ability for slaughter, considered one of the three strongest abilities in the Prehistoric World. At this moment, what Jiang Chen was using was this very ability.

"Merge!"

With a strong will, Jiang Chen forcefully suppressed the Four Immortal Execution Swords, causing their shadows to slowly merge with the blood-colored sword in his hand.

Indeed, the true essence of the Four Immortal Execution Swords is to merge them into the Sword of World Destruction, capable of obliterating Heaven and Earth, and annihilating the past, present, and future with supreme great power.

However, this state only exists as an ideal. Whether it was their first owner, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, or the second owner, Taoist Honjan Daizu, or even the third owner, Leader Tongtian, none had achieved this.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, with his immense strength, forced this outcome, merging the original imprints of the four swords and manifesting the supreme power that could destroy Heaven and Earth and bring back Chaos.

Whoosh~

At the moment the four swords merged, the Three Talents and Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Four Symbols all shattered instantaneously. Strands of chaotic sword light burst forth, silently destroying everything; time, the Great Dao, and rules seemed nonexistent at this instant, as all turned to void.

Darker than Chaos itself, the deepest darkness spread out, centering around the blood-colored sword, it seemed as if Heaven and Earth had returned to the most ancient times, before Hongmeng was delineated, before Chaos appeared, all was Nothingness.

"So powerful!"

Jiang Chen could distinctly feel the terrifying power contained in this sword, which had already surpassed his control. As its power spread, his manifested body was even affected, growing increasingly illusory, about to turn into nothingness.

"Is this the ultimate power of the Dao of Slaughter?"

His body nearly gone, but Jiang Chen’s face showed no panic, instead filled with excitement, for he had glimpsed the Great Dao, not the omnipresent Dao spoken of by the world, but the eternal, everlasting Dao.

Not just him, but also Elder Ancestor Underworld River nearby, was fervently staring at the blood-colored sword. The circulating sword intent released not the fluctuations of world-ending, but the supremely paramount Dao of Mysterious Annihilation.

The highest truth of the Dao of Slaughter is to annihilate all sentient and insentient, all material things, transforming Heaven and Earth back to the original Nothingness.

The Four Immortal Execution Swords alone naturally couldn’t fully manifest the supreme mysteries. But to execute this sword, Jiang Chen utilized the power of nine innate slaughtering swords, barely manifesting a trace of the Dao’s mystery.

This is a power that surpasses Primordial Chaos, even exceeds Chaos itself.

"In my conception, merging the Four Immortal Execution Swords will reverse Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, thereby exhibiting the mighty power capable of annihilating all things and returning Heaven and Earth to Chaos."

"And my merging of the Three Talents and Five элемент Swords will reverse the Three Talents and Five Elements, annihilating all order Between Heaven and Earth, thus returning all things to Hongmeng."

"Elder Ancestor Underworld River’s merging of the Yuan Tu and Abi Swords will turn it into the carrier of the Innate Dao of Slaughter, cutting down all spirits of Heaven and Earth."

"Although these three are strong, and perhaps capable of surpassing the Primordial Chaos, or even rivaling Chaos, they absolutely cannot transcend Chaos to achieve Eternity."

"However, by combining the power of the three, one can transcend everything and behold Eternity!"

"Of course, this is only a possibility, not necessarily achievable, but even this slim possibility already far surpasses many others."

"Not everyone has the possibility to transcend everything and aspire towards Eternity."

Jiang Chen, feeling inspired, sensed the possibility of aspiring towards Eternity from these nine Innate Killing Swords.

Although it’s merely a possibility, the mere spreading of this news would stir even the Chaos Demigods, especially the Demon God of Slaughter, who might even appear in person, endeavoring by all means to seize these nine Peerless Killing Swords.

After all, the Demon God of Slaughter itself possesses the possibility to achieve Eternity. If it were to obtain the nine Innate Killing Swords, the combined effect would not merely be additive. Its potential to achieve Eternity would undoubtedly increase manifold.

"If in the future, my Path of Reincarnation reaches fruition, then these nine Innate Killing Swords may enable me to take a crucial step."

As Jiang Chen’s cultivation approached the Primordial Chaos, his vision of the future became clearer and gradually, he discovered his own deficiencies. Walking the Way of Reincarnation was indeed most suitable for him, allowing him to rise in the shortest time possible.

However, everything has its price.

Success in Reincarnation, but ultimately, also perishing due to Reincarnation.

Jiang Chen saw, at the moment his Way of Reincarnation achieved great success, he would be trapped in Reincarnation. Forever wandering within Reincarnation, ageless, undying, indestructible, continuously cycling without any possibility of transcending.

This state is also considered Eternity. Though trapped in Reincarnation, indeed abiding in time, eternally immortal.

Yet, this is not perfect Eternity. True Eternity involves transcending Reincarnation, and being immersed within, how could one transcend? Though he achieved Eternity, he did not achieve true freedom, hence the state is not considered perfect.

The so-called cultivation is a continuous process of transcendence, from initially transcending the mundane, to later transcending the void, surpassing life and death, transcending fate, transcending time and space, step by step, until ultimately transcending Reincarnation to behold Eternity.

Unable to transcend Reincarnation, one cannot achieve perfection. In such times, external assistance is needed to break through Reincarnation and behold true Eternity.

"This is indeed a path, keep it in mind, it may be useful in the future."

Keeping this thought in mind, Jiang Chen, with great Divine Ability, stabilized his incarnate form. Before the might of that blood-red sword completely spiraled out of control, he urged it towards the seal on the body of Underworld River Ancestor.

Being a forcibly fused entity, the sword’s power was unstable, and couldn’t persist for long. Hesitating any longer to act, the sword would disintegrate on its own.

As for gathering these nine swords, it’s good to think about it, but absolutely not to take action. Not to mention that Yuan Tu and Abi are treasures of Underworld River Ancestor’s path to enlightenment, even the four Immortal Slaying Swords belong to Jiang Chen’s master’s treasures, he could not possibly act against them.

However, it doesn’t matter, both individuals have good relations with him, and borrowing six swords from them wouldn’t be difficult.

"Ancestor, be ready!"

Jiang Chen raised his sword, striking towards the seal on the body of Underworld River Ancestor.

And as for all of this, the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, far away in the outer Chaos, remained completely oblivious.

Since this sword touched upon a strand of the truth of the Great Dao, its power naturally exceeded what mortals could imagine, even directly severing causality.

The moment the Chaos sword light erupted, the heavenly secrets, causality, information... everything about this place was severed.

Thus, the strong beings Between Heaven and Earth could only know of the sword’s existence, but not its location or actions.

Since causality was severed, even Jieyin and Zhunti, who personally sealed the Underworld River Ancestor, were also affected and failed to detect the events happening here in time.

It is only because Jiang Chen’s cultivation is too low, if he were to step into the realm of Primordial Chaos, then with this strike, even the existence of this sword might go unnoticed by anyone Between Heaven and Earth.
