Chapter 2976: Myriad Selves!
The celestial palace starry sky world focused on the cultivation of the primordial spirit, and various treasures also occupied a huge proportion. There was no concept of domain in their world!
Or rather, the beings born in the celestial palace starry sky world did not have enough life potential to create things like life force fields!
At least in the myriad races starry sky world, almost everyone could create domains, and some even had more than one!
Star-devouring level experts had domains as standard equipment!
And what the cosmos realm needed to do was creation. The application of domains largely laid the foundation for creation!
Even Wanxiang's application of small worlds was far superior to Li Daoyan's!
At the same world scale, Wanxiang would be stronger than Li Daoyan!
Li Daoyan was forced back, which made everyone's heart skip a beat!
If even the Grand Yan Sword Immortal couldn't defeat this mysterious powerhouse, then who could be his opponent?
Li Daoyan's eyes turned red:
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Don't be too smug! It's not over yet!"
No matter what strength this Demon Lord possessed, he had to win this battle!
Otherwise, this would be an unprecedented disaster for the entire cultivation world!
Could it be that the flickering of the Dao Tree was really because of him?
But there was no time to think about that now!
He could only speak with his sword!
"Infinite Sword Realm! Slash!"
In that moment, Li Daoyan expanded his world to the maximum. The stars, celestial palaces, and Dao fields within his world all transformed into sword cries that clashed!
The clear sound of sword cries echoed through the starry sky. Next, billions of sword lights surged out of the world, all charging straight at Jiangnan!
Each sword light contained an extremely pure sword heart!
If it were a contest of will alone, Jiangnan would surely lose!
Unfortunately... it wasn't!
Jiangnan's divine figure suddenly grew eight arms, and eight Dream Will Blades formed!
Standing still, he wildly slashed at the billions of sword lights!
The sword cries turned into lamentations. Countless sword lights were shattered, unable to even approach Jiangnan!
In terms of attack intensity alone, Li Daoyan was no match for Jiangnan's realm source energy plus domain rules!
However, no matter how many sword lights Jiangnan shattered, new ones were born and came slashing down!
A hint of impatience appeared in Jiangnan's eyes!
He slashed out once!
"Dominant Realm Slash!"
Within the blade light was everything of the starry sky dominator. Under the blade light, Li Daoyan's world projection was instantly cut in two and crushed to pieces!
But the next moment, Li Daoyan's body suddenly appeared behind Jiangnan!
"Past • Present • Future! All thoughts return to one!"
"Slash of a Lifetime! Die for me!"
One sword slash seemed to destroy the starry dome!
Jiangnan's eyes gleamed. "Tsk tsk tsk~ Not bad, not bad!"
But he didn't even intend to block!
A great terror suddenly rose in Li Daoyan's heart!
He abruptly turned his head!
He saw a super-giant four-dimensional divine figure holding a heavenly blade, slashing down at Li Daoyan!
Wherever the blade light passed, everything was decomposed into energy!
Li Daoyan: !!!
He had no time to react. He turned and slashed!
"Break!"
The sword light flashed in an instant. The four-dimensional divine figure was cut in two by the sword light, then crushed!
Such was the terrifying power of will—slashes could cross dimensions!
But as soon as Li Daoyan slashed that sword, Jiangnan behind him raised his will blade again!
"Triple Dominant Realm Slash!"
Li Daoyan's eyes were split as he roared: "Sword Dome!"
This slash was too fierce, its power three times that of before. The world shadow was shattered to pieces!
Even the world barrier of Li Daoyan's actual world cracked as a result!
The world's origin wailed in lament!
He could even smell the scent of death!
"Red Umbrella World of Mortals • World Within the Umbrella!"
"Both you and I are guests of the mortal world! Red dust pinches flowers, bloom and fall!"
In that moment, the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable directly threw out the red umbrella in his hand. The shadow of the red umbrella expanded infinitely!
And beneath the umbrella was projected a world of rolling mortals. Within the world, figures flickered, full of the breath of worldly life!
But this world was entirely black and white!
Only the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable stood among the crowd, holding a red umbrella. He raised his hand and grabbed a red spider lily!
He gently pinched it with his fingers: "Fall~"
When the flower fell, that was also the moment of Jiangnan's death!
However, Jiangnan looked coldly at the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable. The sound of an eternal, undying heartbeat echoed through the world!
Under the heartbeat, the mortal world began to collapse madly. The red spider lily in his hand also exploded with a bang!
The Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable was full of shock.
(유口유|||) "How is that possible! Can't die?"
Jiangnan said coldly:
(˶‾᷄⁻‾᷅˵) "My body is eternity! Immutable and indestructible. This journey has no end. The end of time might be an end, but it is also a new beginning!"
"Death is already a luxury for me!"
"Stop playing with these little tricks!"
Jiangnan slashed his sword toward the sky!
"The great wind rises!"
In an instant, a fierce wind blew straight up from below, directly flipping the umbrella cover off the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's hand, and the umbrella cloth became tattered and torn!
The Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's face turned green!
(#)థ3థ) "Pfft— My lifebound treasure!"
Jiangnan narrowed his eyes: "Try this!"
As he spoke, Jiangnan slashed out, the blade light cutting directly into the void!
"Sever Life, Cut Off Death!"
In the unseen, something seemed to break!
The Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's eyes bulged. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, his body began to collapse wildly, and his life energy continuously declined!
He had no time to be shocked; his heart was full of fear!
Life line! He severed my life line?
I'm going to die, I'm going to die!
"Immortal Within the Umbrella!"
He immediately retreated into his small world, transforming into the world's will, using the world's origin to stabilize his collapsing life aura!
But Jiangnan's blade light once again slashed toward the umbrella world!
Li Daoyan roared: "You wish!"
"Primordial Spirit Entering the World • Grand Yan!"
In that moment, Li Daoyan's primordial spirit exploded, directly merging into his small world!
Under his influence, the world began to transform, everything becoming black and white!
The starry sea and Milky Way, mountains and rivers, grass, trees, clouds and mists—all were like that!
What unfolded before Jiangnan was no longer a brilliant Grand Yan Immortal Realm, but a world as beautiful as an ink painting!
"A Landscape Like a Painting!"
And within the world, Li Daoyan's ink-wash figure appeared, his eyes filled with extremely pure will!
"No matter what rank you are, what background you have, or how strong you are, I, Li Daoyan, must win this battle today!"
"To be honest, I am a very boring person. My entire life has only had the sword! The world in my eyes is not colorful. The sword is pure and cold, like this ink-wash world—non-black, non-white!"
"I, Li Daoyan, have journeyed to this day, standing at the absolute peak, having abandoned too much, cut off too much, and in the end, only a pure sword heart remains!"
"Those that were cut off are also me!"
"Witness it! The real me! The real Li Daoyan! The real Grand Yan Sword Immortal!"
In that moment, Li Daoyan spread his arms, and the entire ink-wash world underwent a sudden change!
Dots of ink scattered. These ink dots fell and spread, all transforming into human figures within the world, each holding an ink sword!
These figures were either young, middle-aged, or old, and all of them were Li Daoyan, practicing the sword, practicing the sword!
Still practicing the sword!
All the ink-wash human figures were the falsehoods Li Daoyan had cut off on his path forward!
But he did not abandon them; they were also part of him!
And now, countless ink-wash figures all turned their gazes to Jiangnan, their eyes full of edge!
They erupted with the same powerful aura as Li Daoyan, and some even surpassed him!
The Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's eyes widened. He had never seen Li Daoyan use this move!
It showed just how cornered he was!
In the past, he had even tried to shake Li Daoyan's position as the top powerhouse!
But only now did he understand that the Li Daoyan he had seen was just the tip of the iceberg!
Was this his true strength now?
All these myriad ink-wash figures, each with the same strength as Li Daoyan? Some even surpassing him?
Combined, how much power could all the ink-wash figures unleash?
Sigh~
Li Daoyan pointed his ink sword directly at Jiangnan!
"These are my everything. Do you dare to receive them?"
And a hint of excitement finally flashed in Jiangnan's eyes!
I knew there was more to the immortal path than what I saw!
The cut-off me is also me?
Although limited by the world, Li Daoyan's achievements were limited, but no one who climbed to the top of a starry sky world was useless!
Jiangnan grinned: "Finally, something that can pique my interest! Why wouldn't I dare?"
"Let me witness your everything then!"
As he spoke, Jiangnan, alone and unburdened, walked calmly into that landscape painting!
And in that moment, the myriad ink-wash figures charged madly toward Jiangnan!
One was a scruffy-bearded ink-wash figure with eyes full of grief!
"At 1741 years old, my master passed away. Sorrow arose from my heart. To seek a pure sword heart, I cut off this self!"
"This sword is for my master!"
One sword slashed out, grief born from the heart. The pure sword intent infected the surrounding void, causing many to shed tears!
And this sword was stronger than all the swords Li Daoyan had slashed before!
Jiangnan raised his blade to receive it, not dodging or avoiding!
The dream heavenly blade slashed past, and the ink sword light shattered. But more figures flashed forward!
"At 1979 years old, a friend betrayed me, killed my wife, stabbed me three times, each wound fatal. I personally slew him. Hatred surged to the heavens! To seek a pure sword heart, I cut off this self after!"
"This sword is for that world-shaking hatred!"
"Slash!"
The ink-wash figures charged one after another, each sword light stronger than the last!
Jiangnan did not break them with brute force. In fact, Jiangnan could have directly crushed them with a world bubble, and the landscape painting would have ceased to exist!
But Jiangnan still received each sword, one by one!
This was also a tempering of his own will, and it allowed Jiangnan to better understand the immortal path!
Each sword was a path Li Daoyan had walked!
Receiving all his swords was equivalent to walking through his entire life!
