Chapter 2977: One Thought Becomes Immortal!
This time, Jiangnan was rarely not so domineering. He didn't even fight back, silently receiving every sword strike from Li Daoyan.
So to outsiders, Jiangnan seemed to be at a disadvantage!
Those Eternal Realm cultivators of the Great Dao Sword Sect were all secretly straining, hoping Li Daoyan's next sword strike would cleave Jiangnan in two!
But Jiangnan was fine. He caught every single sword cleanly!
Nian Hongyan even started worrying!
The mysterious predecessor's strength had already far exceeded her imagination, but could he really withstand the full-force assault of the Dayan Sword Immortal?
However, she soon stopped thinking that way!
Because while receiving Li Daoyan's attacks, Jiangnan still had leeway to deal with the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable!
The Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable kept trying to find an opportunity for a feint, but there was absolutely no chance!
Damn it! How much strength does this guy still have in reserve?
Even Li Daoyan grew more and more shocked!
All he saw on Jiangnan was composure!
No one knew better than him how heavy each of the myriad ink shadows' sword strikes was. It wasn't something that could be caught by sheer brute force!
But Jiangnan was not crushed by the sword intent within, nor even affected by it!
What kind of story did he have? What kind of life?
Even the myriad selves couldn't handle him?
As more and more sword lights shattered, Li Daoyan's heart grew colder and colder!
If he couldn't win soon, he'd run out of moves!
When the final ink shadow slashed out, Jiangnan raised his blade and broke it, finally letting out a long breath!
Li Daoyan's heart and body turned cold. How much strength was this guy still holding back?
He was almost certain!
This person was the calamity that would destroy the world, the source of disaster!
Jiangnan smiled: "Thank you for letting me see so many good things. Truly enlightening!"
"But... it's impolite not to reciprocate. So watch closely. This is our glory!"
"Take this!"
As he spoke, Jiangnan took a step forward. The Realm Source Energy flowed like wind into the bitter south wind!
It completely dyed the eternal undying storm silver, including the countless wind shadows within!
Li Daoyan and the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable felt their scalps go numb!
Could it be that every one of these wind shadows could use that silver energy?
He wasn't unable to use it before, but unwilling?
Did that mean the strength of each wind shadow far surpassed the Eternal Realm?
Ssss~
Before Li Daoyan and the others could prepare, the countless wind shadows within the fierce wind surged forward!
Borrowing the silver energy, they unleashed their strongest strikes, their life's brilliance!
Remember, these wind shadows contained not only the brilliance of Eternal Era powerhouses, but also the radiance of countless Thousand Stars Era experts!
If there was anything that recorded the brilliance of life across the Starry Sky Races world, it was this bitter south wind!
Li Daoyan and the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable roared, using all their strength to resist the attacks of the wind shadows!
These were attack methods completely different from those of the immortal cultivation world, utilizing the fundamental laws of the Xing Kong world to unleash terrifying power!
And the only constant was the determination in their hearts!
Li Daoyan was shocked beyond words. He could confirm that Jiangnan was definitely not from this world!
These divine abilities could not have been produced by immortal cultivation civilization!
Could this guy really be from outside the realm?
These divine abilities were too exquisite. While receiving them, they even gave Li Daoyan and the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable inspiration!
A sudden feeling of "so this thing can be done this way"!
But the only difference was that Jiangnan's attack was not gentle at all, and Li Daoyan's strength was not effortless either!
This wasn't teaching—this was freaking life-threatening!
Under the relentless assault, the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable was completely beaten down, with no room to fight back! He was surrounded and pummeled by countless wind shadows!
While being beaten, he still roared:
(#)༎ຶ口༎ຶ(#) "What! What is all this? How is this possible!"
And Li Daoyan wasn't much better off. The ink shadows shattered madly, the world shook!
No matter how sharp his sword light was, it couldn't cut through this endless storm!
What made him even more despairing was that a wind shadow of Li Daoyan himself began to appear in the wind!
Li Daoyan gritted his molars tightly, with no time to appreciate the intricacies of these divine abilities!
"Who exactly are you? Are you from outside the realm, from another world? There is more than one world, right? Who are the masters of these wind shadows?"
"Did the Dao Tree flicker because of you?"
Jiangnan said calmly: "Who I am is not important! What matters is! If you can't defeat me today, your world will be in trouble!"
"You know exactly what that means. Hehehe~"
Li Daoyan's heart tightened. Of course he knew!
If he lost, it meant no one in this world could match Jiangnan even in a single exchange!
If he wanted to destroy the world, the Dayan Era would become history!
Li Daoyan: (ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Eternal Demon Lord! I won't let you succeed! Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!"
Jiangnan: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) Huh?
Demon Lord? I'm the Demon Lord?
I didn't tell you my name, so you just made one up for me?
But "Eternal Demon Lord" sounds a bit cool though? I like it!
At this moment, the two big-eyed little ones both covered their faces. Why are you smiling so evilly?
(ŏ(ヾ)(❍(ヾ))
Look how scared they are!
The two Watchers knew very well that Jiangnan had no intention of destroying the Immortal Palace Xing Kong world or burying the Dayan Era!
He wouldn't become Xun Zu, nor would he become Jiang Fan. He was Jiangnan, the one and only Jiangnan!
Even if he was invincible in this world, Jiangnan had his own standards for what could and couldn't be done!
The reason they were so sure was that Jiangnan hadn't killed a single person so far!
Now using the wind shadows also had the meaning of exchanging knowledge, a return of courtesy for Li Daoyan's earlier gesture!
You taught me good things, so I'll teach you some too!
It's just that Jiangnan seemed to have overdone it a bit. Li Daoyan and the others were just getting beaten and couldn't handle it!
Just as Li Daoyan finished speaking, the Great Dao World Tree at the core of the world bloomed with dazzling immortal light!
Li Daoyan and the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's eyes widened sharply, their faces flushed red!
At that moment, a feeling of unimpeded clarity arose in their hearts. They even felt their bodies relax, the pressure lessening!
A thick sense of security wrapped around them. Li Daoyan even felt as if he had merged with the Xing Kong world, achieving a unity of heaven and man!
His eyes were filled with excitement and elation!
The world... has responded to me?
The world is on my side!
He and the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's auras wildly surged, their momentum rising!
Jiangnan's gaze crossed endless distance, landing on the Great Dao World Tree!
He snorted coldly, his eyes full of ice!
Li Daoyan roared:
✧*｡٩(¯͒益¯͒*)و✧*｡ "The Eternal Demon Lord has descended upon the world! The Dayan Era faces an unprecedented crisis! If I lose today, the Dayan Era will have no tomorrow!"
"From the very beginning, there was only one path before me! Win! Dayan Eternal, Dao Tree Evergreen!"
"The world is on our side. What reason do I have to lose?"
"Disciples of the Great Dao Sword Sect, hear my command!"
With Li Daoyan's roar, the emotions of the Eternal Realm powerhouses were stirred!
Yes! We cannot lose!
We cannot let the Eternal Demon Lord continue his rampage!
"Disciple here!"
"Raise the Dayan Immortal Sword Formation! Join me in suppressing the Eternal Demon Lord and restoring a clear sky to our Dayan Era!"
With Li Daoyan's command, the Eternal Realm powerhouses roared and charged out, their bodies radiating infinite sword light. Giant primordial spirits stood in the void!
They formed an immortal sword formation. Even the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable joined in!
He knew he was useless as the main attacker, so he would let Li Daoyan take the opportunity!
Under the Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's leadership, the immortal sword formation burst forth with dazzling immortal light, tearing through the void, transforming into a pillar of light that poured into Li Daoyan!
Li Daoyan's momentum soared like the sun at its zenith!
Countless ink shadows appeared, and all these ink shadows stepped into Li Daoyan's body, merging into one!
Li Daoyan's aura reached its historical peak!
"Myriad Wills • Return to One!"
In that moment, Li Daoyan's eyes met Jiangnan's, his gaze full of sharpness!
"This is my myriad wishes, also the wishes of countless people in this entire immortal cultivation world, the wish of the world itself!"
"Everything began with this sword, and everything will end with this sword!"
Li Daoyan's body form changed. He became the body of a child of about ten years old!
With a very unfamiliar motion, he held a sword, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future!
This was such a childish sword strike, yet it was the first time Li Daoyan picked up a sword in his life, the very first sword he ever struck!
And from here, Li Daoyan marched forward, through countless hardships, finally standing at the peak of this world!
This sword was the beginning of Li Daoyan's everything!
"Sword Technique Name: Beginning of the Immortal Path!"
"Strike!"
That half-grown child held an immortal sword and struck an extremely childish strike!
Yet this strike was the strongest sword Li Daoyan had ever struck in his life!
Under this sword, the immortal light emitted by the Great Dao World Tree reached its peak. Wherever the sword light passed, everything turned to chaos!
Facing this sword, Jiangnan's expression became unusually serious!
"To live in a dream beneath the celestial curtain is a kind of fortune, but also a kind of tragedy!"
"Whether to cut open the celestial curtain, the choice is yours. The curtain must be cut, and it must be cut by you yourselves!"
"What will the future of this world become? I am really looking forward to it..."
"Let's give it a try!"
With that, Jiangnan took a step forward. Before the horrified eyes of everyone, the Deity Shadow suddenly shattered into nothingness!
Only Jiangnan's voice echoed through the void!
"One thought... becomes immortal!"
As the words fell, endless Will Power surged out from Jiangnan's body, from nothing to something. Form and spirit merged, one thought became immortal!
Jiangnan's massive will foundation instantly reassembled, condensing according to the immortal cultivation divine refinement technique he had gained!
In the blink of an eye, a colossal immortal shadow appeared!
This immortal shadow was enormous and solid. The aura it emitted alone collapsed space!
Looking at this immortal shadow was like looking at an insurmountable mountain!
It was countless times stronger than Jiangnan's previous Deity Shadow, its power increasing exponentially!
Li Daoyan was stunned. He had never seen a primordial spirit of such degree, far surpassing his own!
Even surpassing his imagination!
What was this?
If immortals truly existed in the world, this must be what they looked like, right?
But at this moment, Jiangnan had already struck out a blade!
"Immortal Summit • One Blade Dream Shatters!"
The immortal shadow struck out with a blade. The blade of will, colored like a dream, cut across the void, pulling out a brilliant dreamy star river!
Li Daoyan's pupils shrank violently!
This blade was ultimate purity—so pure that Li Daoyan could see Jiangnan's dream!
So pure that no one could stop his advance, not even himself!
One blade struck out!
The sword light of Beginning of the Immortal Path didn't even have the qualification to resist this blade. The moment it touched the blade light, it was completely crushed!
Li Daoyan's figure was utterly submerged in the blade light!
The immortal sword formation was blown apart by a single strike. The Red Umbrella Immortal Venerable's body cracked, spitting blood as he flew backward!
The blade light extended infinitely into the starry sky, space splitting apart as if pushed aside by invisible hands!
The blade light faded!
At this moment... no one stood before Jiangnan!
The starry sky was as silent as death. Jiangnan's immortal shadow behind him directly shattered and dissipated, turning into specks of spiritual light that flew away!
And Jiangnan himself looked dazedly at the blade mark before him, his eyes full of disbelief, the corner of his mouth twitching!
"Tch... I... am freaking strong!"
