The Eastern Wilderness.
The Ice Cloud Dao Domain.
Star Moon City, Cold Moon Holy Dynasty.
As the holy city of the Cold Moon Holy Dynasty, Star Moon City spanned nearly ten thousand li. Its walls wound like a true dragon, and its gate towers loomed like heavenly passes, imposing and majestic, presenting a thousand magnificent vistas.
A clear, luminous crescent moon hung high above Star Moon City, guarded on all sides by twenty-eight brilliant stars. Vast tides of stellar and lunar power enveloped the entire city, making even the blazing sunlight that shone into it exceptionally gentle.
Deep within Star Moon City stood the Purple Moon Hall, occupying nearly a hundred li.
Mist and rosy clouds rose over flowing streams beneath little bridges, while auspicious clouds drifted around pavilions and towers. Immortal blossoms bloomed, and fragrant herbs and orchids covered the ground. A fresh, natural Dao resonance permeated the air, making it seem like a peaceful pure land beyond the mortal world.
The mistress of this Purple Moon Hall was none other than the Cold Moon Holy Dynasty's third princess, Han Ziyan.
Han Ziyan possessed an innate Dao fetus. On the day she was born, purple Qi came thirty thousand li from the east, and the Cold Moon Holy Dynasty named her its Holy Maiden at birth.
At six years old, Han Ziyan had also awakened a supreme sword bone. Boundless fortune gathered within her, making her one of the rare bearers of great fortune between heaven and earth.
Her aptitude eclipsed even the heirs of many Great Emperor lineages. Failing to become an emperor would have done her heaven-defying aptitude an injustice; she could truly be called a child of destiny.
This Purple Moon Hall was the cultivation ground the Cold Moon Holy Lord had prepared especially for her.
The entire Purple Moon Hall faintly melded with the vast fortune of the whole Cold Moon Holy Dynasty. A demigod ancestor guarded her cultivation, and several ancient divine formations lay concealed, all to ensure that no one disturbed Han Ziyan while she cultivated.
"Blargh!"
Just as Han Yuyao's chaos sword bone took shape, Han Ziyan, who was cultivating in seclusion deep within the Purple Moon Hall, felt as though an invisible Dao sword had struck her and uncontrollably spat out a great mouthful of blood.
Her blood was crystalline and translucent, containing tremendous power that smashed a bottomless pit into the ground.
"Holy Maiden!"
With a startled cry, an old woman with a head full of silver hair manifested from the void. Her immense presence pressed down until the entire sky trembled faintly.
The white-haired old woman raised her hand and swept it outward. One hundred and eight stars, seemingly real yet illusory, formed a world that sheltered Han Ziyan within.
Immediately afterward, the white-haired old woman's divine sense swept frantically through the entire Purple Moon Hall, yet found no suspicious presence.
She was a demigod, capable of founding an ancient sect whose legacy could endure for ages, yet she served as Han Ziyan's Dao guardian. That alone showed how highly the Cold Moon Holy Dynasty valued Han Ziyan.
The white-haired old woman looked at Han Ziyan in puzzlement and asked gravely, "Holy Maiden, what happened? Did someone use a secret art of heavenly secrets to strike at you from the shadows?"
"Do not panic, Ancestor Yun. I am fine!"
"I possess an innate Dao fetus. I am naturally close to the Dao, my body united with it!"
"Here in the Eastern Wilderness, no secret art of heavenly secrets can harm me!"
"It was the supreme sword bone!"
Han Ziyan shook her head lightly, her cold, elegant brows knitting slightly. She brushed a hand over her breastbone, and a crystalline, dreamlike, sword-shaped jade bone appeared in her palm.
The sword-shaped jade bone trembled gently, releasing bursts of clear sword cries.
The white-haired old woman said in surprise, "Oh? Has your supreme sword bone sensed something, Holy Maiden?"
"The supreme sword bone sensed something. An invisible sword just struck my Dao foundation and left cracks in it!" Han Ziyan returned the supreme sword bone to her breastbone, her face frosty and her voice icy.
The white-haired old woman said incredulously, "What? Your Great Dao foundation has cracked? How severe are your injuries?"
"Rest assured! I have an invincible Dao heart. A little Dao injury will heal completely before long! Judging by the supreme sword bone's reaction, perhaps a sword prodigy with aptitude no weaker than a supreme sword bone has emerged!" Han Ziyan's expression remained calm and unruffled.
The white-haired old woman relaxed slightly, her brows furrowing deeply. "A supreme sword bone is already an exceedingly rare aptitude for the sword Dao. What sort of sword prodigy could emerge and cleave cracks into your Great Dao foundation?"
"Several months ago, the Ice Extreme Ancestor sent word that Myriad Daos Give Rise to Tribulation, and prodigies from all sides would enter the world to face it! It seems a prodigy kept hidden by an imperial lineage or immortal sect has emerged!" Han Ziyan's expression was indifferent, cold, and proud.
"Myriad Daos Give Rise to Tribulation, and every side is beginning to reveal its hidden reserves!"
The white-haired old woman nodded in deep agreement, then speculated with a frown, "Could this newly emerged sword prodigy be a reincarnated sword immortal?"
"So what if they are a reincarnated sword immortal? I possess both an innate Dao fetus and a supreme sword bone. My aptitude reigns supreme across the myriad worlds! Back then, I could use my innate Dao fetus to sense Seventh Sister's supreme sword bone. Now, I can use it to divine this person's origins! Once I uncover their roots, everything they possess will become a stepping stone for me to prove my Dao!"
Han Ziyan's words were cold and domineering. Sacred chants of the Great Dao faintly sounded around her, and her entire being seemed to merge into the myriad Daos within the void.
Han Ziyan employed the origin power of her innate Dao fetus, parting layer upon layer of mist shrouding heavenly secrets and fate. Following the sensation in her heart, she sought to see through to the source of that nameless Dao sword.
Suddenly, a powerful sense of danger surged within Han Ziyan's heart. She gave a muffled groan, traces of blood spilling from the corners of her mouth. Her face turned as white as paper, and her eyes filled with horror.
Endless heavenly secrets and threads of fate turned into layers of mist, once again obscuring her vision.
At that moment, not only had she failed to uncover the slightest information, but she had also suffered a powerful backlash. The cracks in her Great Dao foundation widened severalfold again!
"What impressive methods! That person's heavenly secrets and fate have been completely concealed. Forcing a divination will inevitably bring a backlash! It seems the force behind this person is no small one. There is no need to concern ourselves with them for now! I will heal my Dao injuries first. In the future, there will be opportunities to slay them and prove my Dao!" Han Ziyan shook her head lightly.
Naturally, she would never have imagined that the source of all this was her seventh sister, Han Yuyao, whose supreme sword bone she had once dug out!
This supreme sword bone had belonged to Han Yuyao in the first place!
Now that Han Yuyao had developed a chaos sword bone, this supreme sword bone, which shared the same root and origin, had sensed it. Instead, it drew the sword Dao's origin into forming a sword that struck down, cleaving cracks into Han Ziyan's Great Dao foundation.
The other sword Dao experts had merely sensed a resonance. Han Ziyan alone had suffered Dao injuries, precisely because of that supreme sword bone she had dug out!
As for Han Yuyao, who had stirred up towering waves throughout the heavens and myriad worlds, she knew nothing of this.
After opening the wheel sea in her dantian, Han Yuyao clearly sensed that the sword Dao origin power drawn in by the formation of her chaos sword bone was gradually dissipating.
Han Yuyao's flawless sword heart was clear and lucid. Before the sword Dao origin power had completely dispersed, she began comprehending the great sword Dao divine ability recorded within her chaos sword bone.
In mere moments, dense sword intent began spreading around Han Yuyao.
"She comprehended sword intent just after opening her wheel sea? Not bad! Not bad!"
Jiang Chen praised her profusely.
Just as Han Yuyao contemplated that great sword Dao divine ability, Jiang Chen received the feedback from her fortune. Sword Dao insights as deep as an abyss and vast as an ocean surged into his mind, deepening his mastery of sword intent.
At the same time, the great sword Dao divine ability born alongside Han Yuyao's chaos sword bone appeared clearly in Jiang Chen's mind: No Dao in the Heavens!
No Dao in the Heavens required the user to transform all their essence, Qi, and spirit into an invisible sharp sword, capable of causing every divine ability and Dao art of their opponent to unravel and collapse.
Once the sword left its sheath, the myriad Daos fell silent!
The great sword Dao divine ability No Dao in the Heavens was an innate divine ability of Han Yuyao's chaos sword bone. She quickly mastered the version of No Dao in the Heavens suited to the Wheel Sea Realm.
With the Supreme Luck System's enhancement, Jiang Chen possessed a hundred times Han Yuyao's sword Dao insights and instantly mastered the entirety of No Dao in the Heavens suited to an Emperor!
Within Jiang Chen's consciousness, a boundless Dao sword swept across the sky.
Sword Qi surged for hundreds of millions of li. Heaven and earth collapsed, the sun and moon fell, countless stars plummeted together, mountains, rivers, and seas were annihilated, dragons, phoenixes, and qilins spilled blood, and gods, devils, and myriad races wailed...
Once the sword left its sheath, the myriad Daos all collapsed!
It seemed that this sword alone remained between heaven and earth. Every other Dao vanished without a trace.
What a domineering No Dao in the Heavens!
