Chapter 442: Chapter 356: Boundless Heart, Boundless Sword

As Sword Maiden achieved the ultimate breakthrough in Sword Dao, she felt her mind as if it had detached from her body, rising continuously... rising and rising.

As if she had transcended all bounds of time and space, she connected with an indescribable, incomprehensible "place."

Meanwhile, an overwhelming sensation of ecstasy flooded into her soul, bringing immeasurable joy to all the personas within her mind.

Without needing to communicate or speak, Sword Maiden understood her state in that instant.

"After countless lifetimes, paying countless prices, plunging into madness at the moment of the final breakthrough, I..."

She felt the words emerging in her mind and thought, "Have I created a new form of Ascendence?"

Boundless as the heart, limitless as the sword: the heart as the edge, thoughts as the blade, nature as the spine, life as the hilt, and the heavens and earth as the sheath, to cleave all beings between two realms.

As Sword Maiden was contemplating this new form of Ascendence, she realized that she could alter its content.

It even seemed as though this skill had come alive, asking her if she wanted to leave a message?

"Leave."

Creator’s message: Leave.

The next moment, Sword Maiden felt her consciousness begin to sink, seemingly about to leave the place before her eyes and return to her own body.

Feeling her thoughts connected to this mysterious place, Sword Maiden couldn’t help but think, "Can human thoughts reach here after creating an Ascendence?"

"What is the relationship between this place and the countless types of Ascendence powers in the world?"

"Hehe, an interesting place. After I defeat Lin Xing, I will definitely come back here..."

In the very next instant, Sword Maiden felt all her thoughts return to the battlefield.

Everything that had just happened seemed to have occurred in an instant, not taking up any time in the real world.

And at this moment, she maintained the state of her breakthrough.

Myriads of thoughts and memories all transformed into her Sword Intent, from her mind to reality.

Her thoughts, her memories at that moment became her strongest sword, the true Sword of the Formless.

In front of her, a violent murderous intent that Sword Maiden had never felt in her past lives was sweeping towards her, locking her body firmly in place.

Black runes had already covered thousands of kilometers of the ground.

In the center of the constantly churning, wave-like ground, a black storm raged, and Lin Xing floated within it.

His face was no longer visible, only the faint glow of immortality emitted from Lin Xing’s forehead, like an eye, shining forth and pinpointing Sword Maiden’s location.

"Breakthrough complete?"

The atmosphere vibrated with Lin Xing’s thoughts, as if countless voices of Lin Xing merged into one, resounding through heaven and earth.

"Then come and meet your death."

The next moment, the black ground rose violently, transforming into countless mountains and rivers, tsunamis charging, storms howling... numerous natural disasters headed towards Sword Maiden.

Watching Sword Maiden being engulfed by darkness, Xingxiao’s Illusion behind Lin Xing furrowed his brows.

He thought to himself, "The Lin Xing of this moment has temporarily lost the power to control the future."

"I can only help you up to this point."

"Whether you can survive today depends on you now."

"My... daughter."

...

East Sea City.

Xia Country was one of the most prosperous cities of this era.

Especially as the frequency of the Celestial Gates opening increased, and a massive population was shifted to this city, the city’s population skyrocketed.

While property prices climbed, a plethora of companies, factories, and departments relocated to East Sea City, ushering in an unprecedented development.

Although initially, the frequent opening of the Celestial Gates caused frequent accidents in the lives of the citizens,

With the deployment of a large number of military and police forces, and the construction of powerful AI auto-targeting systems, the casualties from the openings of the Celestial Gates steeply declined.

Humans are a species with a strong adaptability.

In just a few months, most people seemed to have gradually adapted to the days where individuals were killed daily, and personal power grew stronger.

Especially during the battle from beyond the skies, a meteor shower once fell over East Sea City, which was fortuitously resolved by the military without causing any casualties.

Just when countless citizens of East Sea City thought they would no longer be shocked by the battles of powerful individuals...

At this moment, a battle-induced phenomenon stirred fear in the hearts of countless people again.

On the streets, more and more people stopped in their tracks, looking toward the west of the city.

"You... look over there..."

"What is that?"

"What’s happening?"

Among the astonished gazes of the crowd, a vast range of black mountains rose from the west side of East Sea City, elevating at a speed visible to the naked eye, casting more and more of the city into shadow.

Many could also observe that within the growing mountains, there seemed to be constant shaking and impacts.

Periodically, large chunks of the mountain would collapse, rushing down like a landslide.

However, just before impacting the earth, these black substances would animate, returning to their original position and re-integrating into the mountain.

...

Meanwhile, inside the mountain range.

Within a purely black world, a battle concerning the future of the entire world was taking place.

A black torrent roared in but was countered by a vast expanse of white snowy mountains.

The black storm strangled towards the Sword Maiden, only to be blocked by a river that appeared out of nowhere.

Various landscapes surged out of the Sword Maiden’s mind, stacking up like layers of worlds in front of her, blocking all assaults.

And this was just the beginning.

Amidst peals of laughter, multiple Bai Yiyis and Sword Maidens that had stepped out of memories emerged into the real world, seeming to turn into tangible beings.

One could see these Sword Maidens constantly appearing next to Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit, unleashing waves after waves of Sword Intent.

"So you’ve grown this far."

"Indeed, leaving you in this world, you are bound to become a great disaster one day."

"Then, whether as your arch-enemy or as a father, it is my duty to obliterate you today."

A black storm swept out from Lin Xing’s body, instantly shredding all the attacking Sword Maidens.

But in the next moment, a sword light had already pierced through Lin Xing’s chest.

The light laughter of a young girl sounded behind Lin Xing: "Lin Xing..."

Another young girl flashed above Lin Xing, leaving behind a light laugh, "You mad dog, you have no talent at all, just relying on accumulations from one life to another to reach this strength."

"But today, I will surely triumph over you!"

Inside Lin Xing’s mind, the voice of the Sword Maiden arose: "Simply because my talent, my pain, my madness, all surpass yours!"
