Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World
In the distant void, a gigantic castle stands atop it. The gale that can blow the supreme emperor to extinction with his divine form continues to sweep through, surrounded by endless lightning that tears the sky apart. The entire castle is strangely ancient and profound.
Suddenly, from the castle came a voice that was not loud but seemed to cover all the sounds of heaven and earth, amidst the thunderous sky that had only been filled with the sound of thunder.
"Huh? My Condensed Sword Array, which I left in the Lower Realm, has actually torn through space and appeared in the Main World? Who's behind this? Don't they know that I intentionally left it in the Lower Realm? I'd like to see who dares to defy my will!"
The voice grew enraged as it reached its climax. The storm around the castle, thunder and lightning also erupted at this moment, dancing wildly, revealing their majesty. As if it were doomsday, the entire sky trembled at this moment!
The grand gate of the castle suddenly opened, and a young man with an extraordinary beauty walked out slowly.
As he opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, it seemed as if all the secrets of the world were revealed to him in that instant!
Before long, the absolutely beautiful and slightly resentful mouth corners slightly curled up, muttering to herself.
"A few days ago, I just heard the End of the World's boss mention that our human clan is about to produce a world-suppressing emperor. I didn't expect to run into you now. Indeed, as a future world-suppressing genius, your current sword technique is already so profound. The Condensed Sword Array has evolved its sword technique to absorb enough spiritual energy and break through the air on its own! Not bad, not bad. Since you will become the key to our human clan's prosperity in the future, I'll lend you a hand and fully reveal this set of sword techniques!"
A finger pointed out, and a spatial fissure was torn open. The endless pure spiritual energy above the void, like a whale inhaling, was swallowed into the fissure without stopping. And those hurricanes and thunderbolts, when approaching the fissure, strangely disappeared, decomposing into spiritual energy, unable to cause any damage to the fissure!
In the vast expanse of the mental space, the long unchanged sky and earth began to subtly change.
The giant sword that seemed to have dissipated in this world after losing its physical form, began to slowly condense. However, every time it condensed into a faint shadow, it was shattered again by the Thunderfire Heaven's Calamity. Nevertheless, the giant sword continued to reappear and be shattered repeatedly...
It went on for an unknown amount of time. Gradually, the speed at which the sword body condensed exceeded the speed at which it shattered.
And then after who knows how long, the entire sword body had almost taken shape, and this catastrophe could no longer destroy it in the slightest!
Destroy and then establish!
The giant sword seemed to have undergone the baptism of heavenly fire, its shape was not smaller, but in Cang Ye's perception, it was different. This is truly washing away the mundane and revealing its true nature!
At last, the giant sword once again resumed its original majestic appearance that pierced through heaven and earth.
Pointing to the blue sky!
The giant sword that had fully recovered seemed to want revenge for the endless heavenly thunder and flames of torture before! The sword's momentum rose again into the sky.
At this time, the sword's momentum was no longer as simple as what Cang Ye had seen in his previous moves. The boundless sword momentum merged with countless principles and innumerable, indescribable existences. Wherever the sword momentum reached, time and space shook infinitely.
This is the precursor to the eighth style's annihilation of space-time!
Finally, the giant sword's momentum had reached its peak, and with a single thrust, it stabbed out!
Innumerable space-time laws are shattered by this sword! The entire sky is completely split in two. Annihilating time and space, tearing the heavens and splitting the earth!
Gazing blankly at the changes before his eyes, he once again felt the boundless terror of that sword's momentum, and his understanding of the Way continued to deepen.
Although there was no real understanding, this feeling had already been deeply imprinted on his soul, waiting for the right moment to merge with what he had learned! Until one day, when his realm was sufficient, this earth-shaking sword would truly appear in the heavens and earth of this alien world!
Before long, heaven and earth calmed down. Just like last time, the entire space was left with only that giant sword.
At this point, Cang Ye slightly furrowed his brow. In his realm of consciousness, he was the divine spirit of this world, and all changes could not escape his perception. However, Cang Ye felt that, in a short while, the time-space law that had already been completely shattered actually recovered. With one sword strike, it shouldn't be like this!
Eighth style, annihilating space-time. Annihilating everything, is it impossible to have the possibility of recovery? Where exactly is the mistake?
The giant sword seemed to have felt that everything was recovering. The soaring sword momentum roared again! A scene like the end of the world appeared in front of Cang Ye's eyes once more, and the sky and earth cracked again as time and space were ground out by this sword momentum. After this sword attack, the entire sky had completely disappeared.
Terror! Too terrifying! Two swords slash the sky! This is the ultimate swordsmanship that annihilates everything!
Just as Cang Ye thought this sword style was over, his face suddenly changed! Because, all that had been annihilated was slowly recovering! Like a giant sword being shattered and then restored, the entire sky and earth were also slowly recovering. As if unwilling to accept such a situation, the annihilation of space-time continued to strike out, Cang Tian repeatedly shattered and recovered. The speed was actually also increasing slowly. In the end, there even appeared scenes that had just been cut off, only to immediately reappear and recover.
What is the situation like?
The current Cang Ye is completely confused. What exactly is the ninth move, a sword technique that doesn't stop practicing erasing time and space, ultimately making the recovery speed of this space constantly accelerating?
The giant sword seemed to have felt the same way, and if it continued like this, it would only temper this world's creation even more solidly, just like the sword itself had undergone a baptism of fire and thunder, breaking down and then standing up again.
The majestic sword slowly calmed down, and the previously earth-shattering, terrifying scene seemed to have never appeared before. The entire world was filled with an eerie peace and quietness.
So it was, as heaven and earth continued to repair themselves, Cang Ye gradually discovered the secret of their recovery.
Unlike the previous void of the universe, after being annihilated by spacetime, everything there was gone. Because that was originally a place filled with death and silence. The occasional law was only left over after some worlds were broken.
But now this world is different, it's filled with all sorts of existences, laws, rules, and spiritual energy permeates the entire space.
After a long time, Cang Ye finally discovered that the entire space that was shattered by the Eighth Style was not slowly recovering, but was reborn! By a pair of invisible giant hands, manipulating everything. Constantly erasing all destroyed and disappeared things, and re-creating them again and again!
It turns out that above the law and rules, there is an even higher existence. Thinking of this, Cang Ye was suddenly shocked. Indeed, the law and rules are not the highest point of all existence in this world, but above them, there is a transcendent existence that controls the universe - the Heavenly Way!
The Great Expansion has fifty uses, forty-nine of which are applied, leaving one breath to escape. This escaping breath is the only path to life between heaven and earth. After escaping, it transforms into the Three Thousand Great Ways. Understanding any one of them can directly point to the origin.
It can be inferred that the complete number of the Heavenly Way is fifty, and one of them has gone into hiding, transforming into three thousand. To grasp a share of it is to directly point to the origin! One breath out of the three thousand is enough to make one immortal in the world, but what about the fifty times sum of the Heavenly Way? No one can say, no one can speak.
In the past, in that original world, the ancient super god who opened up the sky and earth, Pangu's essence transformed into twelve ancestor witches. Among them was a powerful being known as the War God. The War God could be considered one of the strongest existences of that era, even the Three Pure Ones, the ancestors of the saints, did not dare to offend these terrifying beings who disobeyed heaven and earth. His weapon, the Ganji Axe, is said to be a pre-heavenly treasure spirit instrument that evolved together with the War God, its power boundless. However, even though he was strong to this extent, his powerful ancient god self could only manage to kill the immature Heavenly Path's small projection - the Upper Heavenly Emperor. Despite being invincible, in the end, he was still calculated by Heaven and during the Great Witch War, all of the twelve ancestor witches except for Hou Tu's incarnation in the underworld dispersed into the heavens.
The majesty of the Heavenly Way does not tolerate desecration. What's more, at that time, the Heavenly Way was not complete, until later when the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun obtained the Void Qinglian and transformed into the Heavenly Way, only then did that piece of heaven and earth become stable. Now, in the Cangye Intention Space, the Heavenly Way is the complete Heavenly Way, the one that can control heaven and earth without needing to calculate!
It seems that he also sensed the existence of this world's strongest, and his sword momentum rose, but this time there was no appearance of that earth-shattering, unparalleled aura. There was only a fierce and desperate advance, as if there was no longer any path to retreat.
Accumulating an unknown amount of momentum, the giant sword slowly rose into the air.
No heroism, but only tragic...
There is no eighth form of annihilation that shocks the heavens and earth, nor is there a seventh form of sinking into the laws that is mysterious and mystical. It simply rushes to the sky.
A giant sword flew across the sky, cutting through the void. The sword's body gradually became nothingness, as if it had reached the end of the sky at that moment, in a state without the existence of the giant sword. The entire world was so quiet and peaceful. It seemed as though all previous destruction had never occurred. The giant sword had never existed, and the Heavenly Way had never been revealed.
Quietly feeling everything between heaven and earth, the dark night understood, and was shocked. Not everything is an illusion, and nothing has happened.
It exists, it really exists. The endless night keeps thinking about that one sword, the sword filled with despair, the sword with no retreat, the sword that transcends the law, the sword that annihilates the heavens!!!
"Reincarnation's Devoted Sword Style", Ninth Form: "Sword Palm Heavenly Way"!
After one sword, the heavenly way is destroyed, and I, the Supreme Sword Way, will replace heaven and exist forever, governing all ages!
After finishing the ninth sword, Cang Ye stopped. Because he knew that the tenth sword was not something he could see, surpassing the bizarre tenth sword, surpassing the eternal tenth sword, re-casting the cycle of the tenth sword. He didn't have the qualifications to comprehend it yet, even the eighth form of annihilating space and time, he wasn't qualified to watch, but in this special place, he saw it, and he was content!
Everything in the mind disappeared, and sat quietly there. Recalling that one sword which entered the divine law, recalling that one sword which destroyed all things, recalling that one sword which transformed all laws, recalling that one sword which cut off cause and effect, recalling that one sword which annihilated the void, recalling that one sword which annihilated time and space, until recalling that one sword which destroyed the heavenly way. All the sword moves and sword laws in the heart were performed again and again without stopping.
Gradually, the sword that had entered a state of perfect harmony with the law disappeared, transforming into a faint and indistinct sword intent. Then, the sword that could destroy all things disappeared, and the vague sword intent began to clear up... until even the sword that could annihilate the heavens' way faded away, leaving behind only a shadow of a sword. The continuously solidifying sword intent finally took complete shape, and he carefully sensed this one sword. Cang Ye knew, this was his own innate sword, this was his ultimate sword!
"Oh, what a powerful sword! Although I don't know what sword technique it is, its power is really impressive. This last sword can even drive away and control the Great Dao. If my own sword path hadn't reached its peak, I might not be able to resist the urge to cultivate it. This life-or-death sword is also quite good, far surpassing that one sword of mine from back then. Unfortunately, this sword technique seems to have not fully evolved, and this kid's life-or-death sword only has killing power, no creation. This sword can only be a desperate last resort."
That handsome figure stood beside Cang Ye, constantly commenting on something, but at this moment, he was still immersed in his thoughts and couldn't perceive the situation outside.
"Alright, now that Benyuan's sword is gone, although it wasn't perfect, its power was still great. You're still too weak right now, if you were to appear in this world at this time, that bastard Huatian Emperor would definitely be able to find out, and if he took action personally, even if the Old Masters of the End Times were to join forces, they might not be able to save you, so you should just go back!"
With a wave of his slender hand, a rift appeared in the dark night sky and swallowed his entire body. Only a layer of light film floating on his body seemed to protect him from harm, gradually disappearing into this world...
