Heaven Destroying Sword Hits the Forehead

With Taiheng's strength, it could have left its home planet long ago and become a galaxy-level civilization.

Just look at the speed of these six Half-Immortal Artifact —80% of the speed of light!

With the occasional spatial teleportation, they had actually flown out of the Tai Heng Star System in just twenty minutes!

Just as the Ming Dynasty possessed powerful maritime capabilities but failed to usher in the Age of Exploration, the same was true of Taiheng. Whenever a sect was destroyed, it never considered leaving Taiheng.

Elsewhere are all rural areas; where else can you find such a superior environment for spiritual practice as Taiheng?

Even if it can be developed or modified, people have always preferred what is readily available.

But there's no other way now if we don't leave.

"We can go to the Luochuan Realm, a world owned by an old friend of mine!" Zhao Wudi said, standing on the Heaven Destroying Sword.

Those at the Spiritual Law Realm possessed a certain prestige; how could they possibly stay in the small world with others? Of course, they would stand on the sword.

The surrounding area was filled with endless void, and every now and then one could encounter dangerous streams of space particles or meteorites, but they were no different from tofu in front of the Spiritual Law Realm cultivator, and were dealt with casually.

Even a meteorite with an iron core, tens of kilometers in size, capable of annihilating a planet or a civilization, can be cleaved in two with Half-Immortal Artifact.

"I've heard of the Luochuan Realm. This world is occupied by a sect called the Luochuan Sect. Shall we go there and join the Luochuan Sect?" an elder asked.

"Joining is fine, replacing him is fine too, it all depends on Luo Chuan's choice!"

The powerful figures all nodded in agreement.

As for the boundless slaughter that might result from replacing them, no one cares.

The sages believed that all those below the sage level were like ants, and the Spiritual Law Realm thought the same way.

Or it's more like, everyone below me is an ant!

"Alright, now that we're outside the world, we can teleport further!" An elder urged, initiating a hand seal. This time, they would leap directly through several star systems to reach the outside of the Luochuan Star System.

However, just as he raised his hand, a blazing light suddenly struck his fingertips.

The elder hurriedly dodged and looked in the direction from which the attack came. He saw a tall, imposing figure in the void, dressed in brocade robes and jade belts, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. The figure appeared to be three or four meters tall.

The Heaven Destroying Sword was currently moving forward at full speed, reaching 80% of the speed of light. Even a normal Spiritual Law Realm cultivator using escape techniques could not reach this speed. Yet, this person in green robes and brocade robes was neither too close nor too far from them, maintaining a relatively stationary state!

The elder immediately sensed something was wrong and turned to look at one of the people he was looking at. The person being looked at was speechless. "You didn't think of me when you were making the decision, but now that you're going to take the blame, you suddenly remember me?"

But there was nothing he could do; his cultivation level was too low to disobey orders, and his status was unsuitable.

Qu Heng bowed and said, "Senior, we are the Taiheng Sect. We have important business to attend to in other star regions. May we ask if you would like to hitch a ride?"

Even though this person had already launched an attack, Qu Heng still had to smile ingratiatingly.

There's no way around it; the Cultivation World is strictly hierarchical. These cultivators, who have lived for tens of thousands of years, are not the naive young people they are; they have long since passed the age of being brave and fierce.

Of course, there were also hot-tempered and aggressive cultivators, but they all died in the war with the Tianyi Sect four thousand years ago.

They are knowledgeable and have a very accurate grasp of a person's strength; they can tell a person's strength is extremely powerful just by looking at their flying speed.

Or perhaps he possesses a Supreme Dao Arts- level escape technique, which might be worth provokeing, but there's no need to!

The person who arrived was none other than Hengming.

Hengming has switched to a different posture.

His expression was aloof as he asked curiously, "I know about the Taiheng Sect, a major sect in the Taiheng Realm. But you don't look like you have business to attend to or are visiting relatives and friends. It's more like you're trying to escape with your families. So what happened in Taiheng that makes you do this?"

Qu Heng was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he realized that since Taiheng was going to be destroyed anyway, this news would eventually be exposed to the whole world. So, it wouldn't be considered a leak if he said it now.

"That's how it is!" Qu Heng said, "The shadow of the Void appeared in the sky above Taiheng a few days ago. It seems that Tai Heng Star has also reached the end of its lifespan. We are reluctant to leave our homeland, but in the end we cannot save the world, so we have no choice but to leave!"

"Is that so!" Hengming nodded, his anger surging, but he forcibly suppressed it and continued to ask, "But it seems you didn't bring many people. Is this all there is to Taiheng?"

The number of cultivators in front of him, including those in the small world, was less than sixty million.

This is clearly inconsistent with the rumored Taiheng Sect!

"My lord, you are unaware of the truth!" Qu Heng said, "The Shadow of Return to Nothingness arrived swiftly, and with time running out, we only had time to save these few!"

After saying this, the elders pitifully squeezed out a few tears. "We cultivators are weak and frail. We can only take a few Half-Immortal Artifact and the Mental Power of our sect with us when we leave, hoping to make a comeback and rebuild Taiheng!"

The former is to show that one is morally flawless, while the latter is to show that even with our Half-Immortal Artifact, we are not to be trifled with.

The difference between Half-Immortal Artifact and an immortal artifact is roughly the same as the difference between the ninth and tenth levels of the Spiritual Law Realm.

However, these days, cultivators at the tenth level of the Spiritual Law Realm are all busy with seclusion and ascension, so the elders guessed that this person was at most a cultivator at the ninth level of the Spiritual Law Realm, the Divine Human Realm.

Using Half-Immortal Artifact can still fool people.

Hengming nodded. "I see. If the world is to be destroyed, you will have to leave, abandoning Taiheng, which gave birth to you, raised you, and protected you for thousands of years!"

"Senior, you can't say that!" Qu Heng immediately retorted, "What makes up Taiheng is people, it's us! Therefore, as long as we live, Taiheng exists; if we die, Taiheng will truly cease to exist!"

What he said makes perfect sense. The principle that if you save the land but lose the people, you lose both; if you save the people but lose the land, you save both. This applies universally.

If the world were truly to be destroyed, Hengming might even take the initiative to lead them on their escape!

However, firstly, the world is not really going to be destroyed. Yang Ning just released a few black holes in the sky to scare people, and these people believed it without even investigating!

Secondly, they didn't take Hengming with them when they fled. In Hengming's eyes, it was as if they deliberately cut Hengming off!

Thirdly, Hengming received an order from Immortal Venerable Taiheng to protect Taiheng, which is a region mainly composed of the Four Regions of Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, Southern Forest, and Northern Plains.

If the world is to be destroyed, Hengming might take them with him to escape, because he and Immortal Venerable Taiheng did not have a pact of life and death with Taiheng.

But now that the world has not been destroyed, your theory of "preserving the land but losing people, and losing both people and land" no longer holds true. This behavior has changed from preserving the flame to blatant betrayal!

Hengming was afraid of framing them, so he deliberately asked a few questions first, but he didn't expect to get this kind of answer.

He sighed helplessly, "It seems he was right after all!"

"What?" Qu Heng asked.

"The harm caused by the Aristocratic Clan is as subtle as grass and trees, but their accumulated corruption can destroy a person and leave an endless trail of poison." Hengming looked at the group of cultivators in front of him, his eyes filled with disappointment.

The concepts of "family" and "capitalist" are, in a sense, interconnected. After the Aristocratic Clan, the core of capitalism is also the inheritance of various Lineage, and they also have one thing in common: parasitism.

They belong to no country, no civilization; they are merely parasites that feed on these civilizations. When they are fat, the country is weak; when they are weak, the country is strong.

If that were all, it would be fine.

What Hengming found most intolerable was that these people, who had become wealthy and powerful thanks to Taiheng, left without hesitation with all their belongings when Taiheng was in danger.

He, a being who had protected Taiheng for 300,000 years, could not understand such betrayal, much less forgive such behavior!

"You deserve to die!"

"Hmm!" Qu Heng's expression immediately turned serious. Although he didn't understand what this person was talking about, he understood the word "damned." He immediately opened his mouth and shouted, "This person is an enemy!"

"Destroy the Heavens!" Before he could finish speaking, the elder controlling the Heaven Destroying Sword had already made his move.

The Half-Immortal Artifact contains a complete and unparalleled Peerless Divine Abilities, which is extremely powerful and pure after being tempered by Immortal Qi.

More importantly, immortal artifacts are made of extraordinary materials and can hold more immortal artifacts, while a cultivator's dantian is limited.

With stronger power and a larger output port, the difference between how a human uses the same Divine Ability and how a celestial artifact uses it is naturally vast.

If this technology were further developed, Yang Ning's external energy storage technology would be born. All the magical artifacts used for attack could be transformed into energy storage devices, and then you could carry around 100,000 or 200,000 of them. That would be almost as powerful as having Law Power.

Unfortunately, the Cultivation World never developed such technology, Spirit Artifact, magical Artifact Dao artifacts, and immortal artifacts they crafted were merely functional items.

The Heaven Destroying Sword beneath the elders' feet was already vast and enormous, but at this command it grew even larger, then flew out from beneath their feet and slashed heavily towards Hengming.

"Holy crap, the Grand Void Sword Intent?" Yang Ning had been secretly watching the battle from the sidelines, was wide-eyed with excitement. This attack was definitely not as strong as his Black Hole, but it looked really cool!

And so this is how cultivators fight!

Thinking that he would be using guns or cannons, or even Nuclear Bomb if all else fails, Yang Ning felt that this kind of scene was the most authentic!

He could see that the Heaven Destroying Sword was not only massive in itself, but also surrounded by a colorful energy. This was a sword aura formed by the interweaving of several Divine Abilities, including the Heaven Destroying Sword Intent, the Great Destiny Technique, the Lightning Dao Divine Ability, and the Fire Dao Divine Ability.

The fact that nearly seventy different Divine Ability could be perfectly integrated without mutual repulsion or explosion demonstrates the extraordinary cultivation level and control over these Divine Ability powers of the elder who wielded the Heaven Destroying Sword!

Combined with the Heaven Destroying Sword and its immortal-grade materials, this thing could pierce a hole in even a star, let alone Tai Heng Star!

"Hengming, how are you going to deal with this?" Yang Ning looked at Hengming, only to see that Hengming didn't move at all, just watching the greatsword fall straight down and hit him hard on the forehead!

"Boom!"

Although there is no sound in a vacuum, countless people imagined a deafening thud in their minds.

Looking at Hengming again, his forehead was as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest scratch.

However, the tip of the Heaven Destroying Sword was slightly dented!

"Holy crap!" Yang Ning exclaimed!

"How could this be!" The elders were also dumbfounded.

I used Half-Immortal Artifact combined with seventeen Peerless Divine Abilities to strike someone on the forehead, but it was the sword that broke?

What kind of forehead do you have? Do you really have such powerful body-refining Divine Ability?
