# Chapter 1455: Bright Bright Moonlight, Blazing Blazing Morning Sun Radiance
The Nether Heavenly Sovereign coughed blood, his body smashing heavily into the starry sky like a stone striking the surface of calm water, bobbing up and down, stirring ripples across the starry void.
His primordial spirit was entangled by the Taiji Ancient Gods, immediately exposing his weakness.
His physical body could not be as powerful as his primordial spirit. His primordial spirit commanded the Nether Capital Great Dao, entering the Dao at the twenty-fifth heavenly layer, spreading out twenty-five layers of the Nether Capital World, each layer of Dao techniques and divine abilities deeper and stronger than the last!
Moreover, he was continuously comprehending even more profound Dao realms, such that even the Taiji Ancient Gods could not do anything to him for the time being.
Even when the Taiji Ancient Gods combined into the form of the Earth Lord, charging and galloping through his Nether Capital World, they could at most match his primordial spirit stride for stride, unable to harm it.
—Although the two Ancient Gods could transform into various forms like the Heavenly Lord and Earth Lord, they were somewhat lacking when it came to the deeper Dao realms of the Heavenly Dao and Nether Capital Great Dao.
However, the weakness of the Nether Heavenly Sovereign's physical body was revealed, giving Yan Heavenly Consort and Palace Heavenly Sovereign an opportunity to exploit!
He was not a Heavenly Sovereign known for physical combat; he had always looked down on physical brawling, and moreover, he had never had the chance to engage in such combat.
Yan Heavenly Consort and Palace Heavenly Sovereign attacked from front and back. Yan Heavenly Consort's delicate fingers held a hairpin, which shook in the wind and transformed into a sharp sword. Sword light danced wildly, and before and behind the Nether Heavenly Sovereign, great abysses of Guixu appeared, tearing his body in different directions, firmly pinning him in the starry sky.
His body was spread out like the character "big," his four limbs and head stretched, his neck and limbs pulled long.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign leaped up, shook the long whip in her hand, transforming it into a great spear, and thrust it toward his brow!
Ding!
The spear formed from the Ancestral Court Dragon Vein struck the Nether Heavenly Sovereign's brow. Blood appeared on his brow, and the spear tip pierced through his skull, stabbing inward!
The Nether Heavenly Sovereign struggled violently but could not break free from the Guixu divine ability. His face darkened.
"Mu, I did my best..."
He desperately channeled his magical power to resist the spear's penetration, but he simply could not withstand it. The dragon spear slowly pierced deeper into his head.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't fulfill your entrustment. You told me to survive, but I can't do it anymore..."
Just then, a sword light surged forth magnificently, one sword stroke separating yin and yang, forcing the two Taiji Ancient Gods to split left and right, dodging this world-shaking sword light.
The two Ancient Gods were startled and immediately recognized this sword—it was the sword of Kaicheng Qin Ye!
At this moment, Kaicheng's sword was different from the one they had seen not long ago. This difference was not in sword technique but in Dao realm.
Earlier, when they encountered Kaicheng at the Heavenly Court, his sword pierced through the Taiji Diagram. Though his strength was formidable, it posed no great threat to them. But now, Kaicheng's sword separating yin and yang made them feel an extremely terrifying threat!
If the two of them separated, one-on-one, they would be slightly inferior to existences like the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns. Only when they joined forces did they possess boundless combat power.
In this short time apart, Kaicheng had grown to the point of seeing through their weakness—truly remarkable!
After the Taiji Ancient Gods separated, the Nether Heavenly Sovereign's primordial spirit was freed and immediately rushed toward his physical body.
Meanwhile, that sword light, having separated yin and yang and forced back the two Ancient Gods, drove straight ahead toward Palace Heavenly Sovereign. Its speed caught her off guard!
Behind her heart, it felt as if a sword wound was about to burst open again—the location of the sword wound Kaicheng had inflicted on her at the Heavenly Court last time.
However, Kaicheng's sword wound had long been healed by the Taishu Goddess. Why did she feel the wound aching again now?
"His sword has imprinted itself on my Dao heart, creating a sword wound in my Dao heart!" Palace Heavenly Sovereign suddenly realized.
Kaicheng had severely wounded her with his immensely powerful Dao realm. Taishu could heal that kind of injury, but while wounding her, Kaicheng had also defeated her Dao heart with his own incomparably powerful Dao heart!
And this was a wound that Taishu could not heal!
The wound on her Dao heart could only be healed by herself. But though her Dao heart was strong, it had not yet reached Kaicheng's level!
Just then, Yan Heavenly Consort sneered and swung her sword. The sword light behind Palace Heavenly Sovereign transformed into a Guixu great abyss, and Kaicheng's world-shaking sword stroke whooshed into the abyss and disappeared.
Yan Heavenly Consort had just relaxed when, in the next moment, sword light surged like a tide, passing through one Guixu abyss after another, causing each abyss to collapse and disintegrate!
She had not trapped Kaicheng's sword; on the contrary, Kaicheng's sword had broken through her Guixu divine ability!
The sword light shot out from the last abyss, already before Palace Heavenly Sovereign!
Palace Heavenly Sovereign withdrew her dragon spear and retreated rapidly. The dragon spear transformed into a long whip, coiling like a dragon to block the sword light.
Sword light filled her vision. The long whip formed from the Ancestral Court Dragon Vein created rings within rings, clanging continuously against the Wuyou Sword. Massive divine mountains and divine stones were sliced apart by the Wuyou Sword, and soon only the handle of her whip remained.
Finally, the Wuyou Sword's power was exhausted, and it whistled away.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign was drenched in sweat. She shook the whip handle vigorously, and the pieces of the Ancestral Court Dragon Vein that Kaicheng's sword had cut apart flew back with a whoosh. The massive mountain bodies quickly reassembled in her hand, reforming into a divine whip, completely intact!
Palace Heavenly Sovereign felt a lingering fear. Kaicheng's single sword stroke had successively broken through the divine abilities of the Taiji Ancient Gods, Yan Heavenly Consort, and herself—four Heavenly Sovereign-level existences—before exhausting its power. Truly terrifying to the extreme!
She suddenly turned, only to see Kaicheng walking forward. Although the two Taiji Ancient Gods were separated, yin and yang drew them together, revolving around each other in a beautiful arc like the yin-yang fish of the Taiji Diagram, while Kaicheng stood at the center of the diagram.
This was another exquisite move!
Although Kaicheng had separated them, he had fallen into their formation diagram, and what awaited him would be their ultimate combined strike!
Kaicheng walked within this forming, brewing Taiji Diagram, strolling leisurely as if completely unaware of the fierce attack about to befall him.
He raised his palm, and the Wuyou Sword flew back. His right hand held the sword upside down by the hilt, while his left hand lifted the scabbard from his waist.
Ding—
A melodious sword cry rang out as the Wuyou Sword entered its sheath before him. The sword cry was crisp and pleasant, containing the Dao resonance of the sword path.
At that moment, coinciding with Palace Heavenly Sovereign looking in his direction, the sword cry entered her ears. Her expression changed drastically, and suddenly the sword wound in her Dao heart erupted.
Chi chi chi chi—
Her body trembled, and thousands of sword wounds burst forth from within, piercing through her form, blood splattering everywhere!
Palace Heavenly Sovereign groaned. With a shout, her heavenly palaces blazed with light, and the Heavenly Court's war horns sounded long and melodious, resisting the resonance of the sword path!
Kaicheng raised an eyebrow, drew his sword three inches, then slammed it back down heavily. The sword cry intensified, two streams of sword resonance colliding and clashing.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign's heavenly court exploded with crackling sounds, as if countless sword energies swept through her palaces!
Palace Heavenly Sovereign spat blood and fell to her knees.
Yan Heavenly Consort was startled and hesitated. The sword cry entering her ears was nothing special—just ordinary Dao sounds—but when it entered Palace Heavenly Sovereign's ears, it severely wounded her. Truly bizarre.
She did not know how serious the Dao wound on Palace Heavenly Sovereign's Dao heart was.
But she had no time to ponder the reason, for the Nether Heavenly Sovereign's primordial spirit had arrived.
At the same time, the two Ancient Gods' Taiji Diagram was complete. It began to rotate, and just then, sword light flared again. One sword stroke descended, and the two Ancient Gods suddenly felt yin and yang separated—their connection severed by Kaicheng's sword!
"His person is blazing, like the radiance of the morning sun; his sword is bright, like the splendor of the bright moon."
The two Taiji Ancient Gods looked at Kaicheng within the Taiji Diagram and spoke in unison, praising together: "Kaicheng Qin Ye, in just a few days apart, you have drawn closer to achieving the Dao. Congratulations and felicitations—we envy you!"
Suddenly, the two Ancient Gods shouted together, activating the Taiji Sand Table. The sand table soared across the sky, spreading out into a vast desert!
Kaicheng's two sword strokes forced them to use their companion-born treasure.
Since their emergence into the world, their first battle had forced back Qiang Heavenly Consort and Shi Qiluo, compelling the two Heavenly Sovereigns to admit defeat and retreat. But even then, they had not used their companion-born treasure.
Now, Kaicheng's two sword strokes had increased their pressure tremendously. Only by using their companion-born treasure could they have a chance of victory.
Kaicheng walked forward. Wind and sand filled the sky, countless grains of sand rushing toward him. Those grains of sand were actually planets, and the moment they touched Kaicheng, they transformed into countless stars whistling past him. Some planets crashed head-on toward him!
But before these stars could strike Kaicheng, they encountered invisible sword energy, splitting apart and flying past him on either side.
"Dao friend!"
The two Taiji Ancient Gods coiled at the center of a galaxy, bowing to Kaicheng from across the endless starry sky. "Last time, we saw you as one about to achieve the Dao, so we showed courtesy and did not trouble you. Meeting again today, we hope you will not make things difficult for us."
Kaicheng sheathed his sword, raised the Wuyou Sword, and returned the greeting to the two Ancient Gods. Before him, countless galaxies suddenly parted to both sides, as if pushed aside by an invisible force.
"Both elder brothers showed me courtesy, and I, Qin, will remember it. Another day, I will return the courtesy."
Kaicheng's tone was calm as he said: "Today, I have come to save people. If the two of you will show courtesy once more, another day I will show you courtesy twice more—that would not be unacceptable."
The two Taiji Ancient Gods exchanged a glance. The Taiyin Goddess said: "We have already yielded to him once. The first time, we respected his Dao conduct. His Dao realm is profound, walking ahead of us—he can be considered our senior brother. The second time, there is no reason to yield again."
The Sun Ancient God nodded: "Indeed, there is no reason to yield to him this time. Forgive us, Dao friend. We siblings have no choice but to offend you."
Kaicheng said: "Have you two seen Palace Heavenly Sovereign's wound? This is a Dao wound. If you two are wounded by my sword, you will likely suffer as she does."
The two Taiji Ancient Gods smiled at each other: "We entered the world precisely to temper our Dao hearts, to understand the path to achieving the Dao from this turbulent mortal realm. If we can be wounded by your hand, that would be our fortune!"
Kaicheng frowned. The power of the Taiji Sand Table was growing stronger. This battle would likely be the most terrifying one he had faced since beginning his path!
On the other side, the Nether Heavenly Sovereign's brow was pierced through with a large hole. He staggered to his feet, his mind in a daze. The ghost-face mask on his face had also been shattered by Palace Heavenly Sovereign's spear, split in two.
His face was covered in blood. Frantically, he grabbed the mask pieces, trying to put them on, but he could not fit them together.
Tears pattered down his face, mixing with blood, dripping into the starry sky.
"The great Nether Heavenly Sovereign, actually crying from being beaten."
Yan Heavenly Consort laughed: "You are far too undignified for a Heavenly Sovereign."
"Do not underestimate him."
Palace Heavenly Sovereign gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing her injuries, struggling to stand. Her voice was hoarse: "I saw that mask in an illusion. It was the only keepsake his mother left him."
Yan Heavenly Consort's hair stood on end.
