Chapter 2500 – A Clash Between Two Taboo Treasures
The sky split.
The Greater Purity Seal’s strange Dao Markings almost seemed alive. They tore open a spacetime portal as if to flee.
Boom!
The rusted sword sheath slammed into the portal, stopping the seal from fleeing right in the nick of time.
Su Yi’s brow furrowed in surprise, because he hadn’t attacked. Rather, the heart devil sealed in the rusted sheath had taken it upon himself to do this!
This was Su Yi’s first time encountering such a situation. The heart devil hadn’t been so active or eager even when they’d targeted the Book of Legends.
There was no doubt about it. The Greater Purity Seal was special, and his first incarnation’s heart devil was targeting it!
“Who are you? Why stop me from leaving?” Unbelievably, a dignified, ancient voice emanated from within the seal.
Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. There’s actually some sort of mysterious spirit inside the seal?
Meanwhile, his first incarnation’s heart devil emanated from within the sheath.
“The Three Pure Ones, the Four Heavenly Ministers, the Five Elders, and the Six Celestials all established an Eternal Pact in the All-Profound Dominion. There’s no way they’d intervene in the alternations of the epochs, so what are you doing here in the God Domain?”
“You know about the Eternal Pact and the All-Profound Dominion?” That dignified voice exclaimed from within the Greater Purity Seal.
“Answer me first,” said the heart devil, incomparably tyrannical.
Ripples of blood-red light emanated from the rusted sword sheath, bringing with them a mysterious, imposing aura.
Su Yi had never seen this before, either.
There was no doubt about it. Even his first incarnation’s heart devil had to take that dignified voice seriously!
“I am not intervening in matters here. I’m simply retrieving a treasure I refined with my own two hands,” said that dignified voice. “If I wanted to violate our pact, this place would already be running red with rivers of blood, and the Epoch Spark and power of reincarnation would already be in my posession.”
He spoke casually, as if he were simply stating a fact.
Boom!
The rusted sword sheath flashed through the air, sending the Greater Purity Seal flying. A rain of light shook on its surface, and its glyphs churned.
“Are you declaring war?” that dignified voice rang out once more. This time, it sounded angry.
Only then did the heart devil in the sheath seem to relax. “With me here, do you really think you can act however you please?”
The dignified voice within the sheath abruptly fell silent. Some time passed before he said, “You chastised me for my presence in the God Domain, but tell me: what is someone your status doing here?”
The heart devil laughed. “I do what I want.”
“….” The voice fell silent.
Su Yi couldn’t help but rub his nose.
The heart devil laughed. “Forget it. I have no interest in destroying the Eternal Pact. Leave a wisp of your aura, and I’ll let you go.”
That dignified voice said coldly, “Do you really think you can stop me from leaving?”
He’d only just said this when… Boom!
The Greater Purity Seal rumbled and boomed. Mysterious, inscrutable Dao Markings appeared all over its surface. All were emblazoned with Eternal Power, and all carried great power and great mysteries. They were terrifying beyond measure.
Heaven and earth shook violently.
The God Domain’s Laws were instantly startled into action. Divine punishment descended from the heavens.
Wen Qingfeng and the others had already rushed over. When they saw this, they couldn’t help but gasp and move further away.
None of them had anticipated that even after Yun He died, the seal he left behind would be so terrifying.
Su Yi was quite surprised, too.
The entire area was covered in the explosive power of divine punishment, but the seal was entirely unmoved.
Its majesty ground away the sky, effortlessly carving a portal that traversed endless time and space.
The rusted sheath flashed through the air and descended violently. Dao Light rose from its surface as it cleaved into the seal with a bang.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth seemed to explode. Everything was overturned and destroyed.
Su Yi immediately moved further away, but even so, the aftershock swept past him, leaving him shaking on his feet. His blood and qi churned.
“You’re attacking without clearance? Aren’t you worried about a backlash from the Eternal Pact?” That dignified voice emanated from within the seal.
“I’m not afraid,” the heart devil said crisply.
Under his control, the rusted sword sheath unleashed a flurry of attacks on the Greater Purity Seal, producing intense, tumultuous currents of destructive power.
The descending power of divine punishment couldn’t even scratch the sheath. On the contrary, the sheath’s power neutralized it with ease!
But it wouldn’t do to underestimate the sheath, either. It, too, was a Taboo Treasure, and it was powerful beyond imagination. It erupted with strange Dao Markings, repeatedly blocking the rusted sword sheath’s attacks.
The two wondrous treasures fought fiercely beneath the dome of heaven, causing such an enormous commotion and such widespread destruction that even the old monsters watching in the distance were startled, wide-eyed, and tongue-tied.
That power of divine punishment was strong enough to snuff out a Master God with ease, but it was useless against those two treasures!
Who’d dare to believe such a thing?
Su Yi gazed intently at the rusted sheath. He could tell that the heart devil knew the Greater Purity Seal’s origins; he’d never have taken such initiative to keep it here otherwise.
And when he saw the power the sheath now displayed, Su Yi couldn’t help but suspect that earlier, he’d been desecrating a heavenly treasure. He’d in no way displayed the sheath’s true power…
Kaboom!
The battle raged with increasing intensity.
The fighting was so intense that it alerted the entire Spirit Firmament Divine Continent, and even the God Domain as a whole.
Because the Laws of the God Domain responded, like the will of the heavens exerting its authority. It was only natural that this would draw attention.
“What on earth is happening here?”
“What a terrifying, taboo tribulation! Yesterday’s battle at the Tianxiu Sword Shrine produced strange, calamitous phenomena throughout the God Domain, but we’re already seeing another catastrophe?”
“Is the God Domain… really destined to descend into chaos?”
“The Dark Days of Legend will soon be upon us. This is, perhaps, a sign!”
…As the entire God Domain was in uproar, a calamitous aura suddenly appeared deep within the firmament, as if violating a taboo.
It was indistinct, but deep within that calamitous aura, across endless time and space, the indistinct form of a mysterious river appeared.
“Is that… the River of Destiny!?” Wen Qingfeng, Ji Heng, Wan Zitian, and the other old monsters were astonished. All of them stared at the river as if transfixed.
The River of Destiny!
The place every Nine-Tribulation Master God longed for even in their dreams!
A place beyond the bounds of the Undying Realm, a place for those who’d achieved Eternity.
Now, a corner of it had appeared amidst catastrophe across endless time and space. Who wouldn’t have been excited?
…
“Strange. What’s an Eternal calamitous aura doing in the God Domain? Don’t tell me that an Eternal’s true body is forcing its way into the God Domain?”
The young man who owned the Book of Legends gazed into the sky, bewilderment all over his face.
…
“An Eternal Cataclysm!” The Dipankara Buddha whipped up his head, his eyes shining with strange light. “Don’t… don’t tell me that this has something to do with the danger befalling the Three Purities Daoist Court?”
…
“How could something so out of the ordinary have happened?” Di E stood outside the gates of a palace, his hands behind his back and his brow tightly furrowed. “The God Domain really has become increasingly chaotic of late…”
The terrifying existences spread across the God Domain all noticed what was happening. All of them were bewildered and uncertain.
…
“An Eternal Cataclysm is about to descend. Must this really end with heavy injuries to both sides?” said the dignified voice within the Greater Purity Seal. He sounded furious, and a bit frantic.
“’Heavy injuries to both sides?’” The heart devil laughed dryly. “You’re not qualified for that!”
Boom!
The waves of countless Dao Markings fluctuated violently, erupting with explosive power as the seal tried to flee.
However, the rusted sword sheath mercilessly held it back.
The calamitous aura deep in the firmament grew even stranger and more imposing, shrouding the dome of heaven in dark tribulation clouds.
It was like the onset of an eternal night. The midday skies instantly gave way to a curtain of darkness.
All living creatures were horrified. Even Wen Qingfeng and the others moved further away, beads of sweat on their forehead.
All of this was the result of a battle between two treasures. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it, not even if you beat them to death.
It was just too unbelievable!
“Does this will only severely damage the Laws of the God Domain and make the Dark Days of Legend come faster!” The dignified voice within the seal said icily. “That aside, countless innocent beings will be reduced to ash in this Eternal Cataclysm. Have you really weighed the consequences of that?”
The heart devil fell uncharacteristically silent. After a while, he sighed. “Very well. I’ll settle things with you old Daoists when I return to the River of Destiny.”
With that, the sword sheath ceased its attacks.
The Greater Purity Seal seized the opportunity to tear open a spacetime portal and flee. In the last moments before it left, the voice inside it said, “And I’ll be sure to figure out just who exactly you are!”
Whoosh!
The rusted sword sheath blurred into a beam of light and landed in Su Yi’s palm.
“Quick, use the Sword of the Nine Hells to obscure your aura!” urged the heart devil.
Not reincarnation, and not the Epoch Spark. It had to be the Sword of the Nine Hells!
Su Yi’s eyes narrowed, but he immediately did as he was told.
The terrifying tribulation clouds gathering beneath the dome of heaven froze, having suddenly lost their target. They stayed that way only briefly before fading away.
That illusory corner of the River of Destiny visible from across endless time and space faded away, too.
The curtain of eternal darkness broke, and light returned to the world.
The Laws of the God Domain went dormant. All was as it had been before. There was no longer any sign of calamitous aura whatsoever.
But a strange silence still hung over the entire God Domain. Every living being in it was still terrified and ill at ease!
Although that calamitous, strange phenomenon had faded away, that terrifying, calamitous aura had overwhelmed them with despair and helplessness. Everyone felt their lives hanging in the balance!
Wen Qingfeng, Wan Zitian, and the others couldn’t help but sigh in relief. Their clothes were drenched in sweat.
Everything that happened earlier was indeed too strange and terrifying. Even old-timers like them felt suffocated and helpless.
Fortunately, the cataclysm hadn’t truly descended.
Su Yi stood there in silence, gazing into the dome of heaven, his brow furrowed slightly.
Everything that had just happened was far too out of the ordinary, and it was full of an unfathomable flavor.
Just who was that dignified voice? Who are the Three Pure Ones, theFour Heavenly Ministers, the Five Elders, and the Six Celestials? What do they represent?
Why did my first incarnation’s heart devil break precedent and initiate an attack on his own accord?
And what is the Eternal Pact of the All-Profound Dominion?
One question after another coursed through Su Yi’s heart.
