Holding the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the golden-robed youth gained a deeper understanding of the corpse before him due to the massive amount of information surging from the sword's blade.
Each of the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying" has its own unique strengths.
The Immortal-Execution Sword is primarily for the destruction of matter, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Main God, the Immortal-Trapping Sword excels at imprisonment, and the Immortal-Annihilating Sword dissipates the laws of nature.
The corpse before me had its chest pierced by the Immortal-Slaying Sword. It should have been annihilated and completely perished. However, its remaining body could still come back to life the moment it lost the suppression of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
There are even signs of a renewed cohesion of the soul's will.
The body and soul seem to be indistinguishable, which is quite peculiar.
It possesses an innate, Immortal power.
To completely annihilate it, its corpse would probably have to be reduced to nothingness.
As the corpse's aura rapidly revived, an extremely malevolent power swept across all directions.
In the desolate Starry Sky, broken stars were swept by this force and instantly disintegrated. The fragments whistled through the dim and desolate Starry Sky, constantly burning with starlight.
The golden-clad youth did not give the corpse a chance to fully revive its power.
He held the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, and the vast and powerful yang energy within him poured into the Immortal-Slaying Sword like a floodgate being opened.
The murderous aura of the Immortal-Slaying Sword did not repel this extremely powerful and yang energy; on the contrary, it welcomed it with great joy. The two merged perfectly, making the light emanating from the sword even more dazzling.
The blood color became increasingly pure, approaching a glass-like luster.
Clang!
The sword's cry rang out once more, this time even clearer and more resonant. A surge of powerful sword energy erupted, sweeping towards the corpse like a tsunami of Slaughter, aiming to completely obliterate its remaining body.
"Roar!!"
The grotesque corpse seemed to sense an extreme threat and let out a strange roar that was neither human nor beast.
The sound waves rolled and spread, tearing wounds in the desolate Starry Sky.
Crimson lightning streaked across the Starry Sky.
The sword energy danced, its blade seemingly forged from blood-red glass, as if blood had solidified on it, before slashing fiercely at the corpse, creating a wound.
But in the next instant, the wound vanished as if Space-Time had reversed, which was extremely strange.
"What a unique Dao! No, that doesn't seem to be the power of the Dao!"
The young man in golden robes narrowed his eyes.
Immediately, an enormous, withered hand appeared before his eyes.
The corpses unexpectedly launched a counterattack.
A repulsive odor wafted towards us.
The golden-robed youth frowned. Seeing the large hand crushing down, he raised his right hand and thrust it forward fiercely with the sharpest tip of the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword.
At the same time, incredibly hot Sun True Fire erupted from his body.
The flames surged skyward, carrying a terrifying aura that could scorch everything, as well as a sacred intent that nurtures all things, transforming into a gigantic fist imprint that crashed down with overwhelming force.
The boiling Starry Sky paused for a moment, the distorted space was smoothed out in an instant, and Space-Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment.
Two completely different attacks, one from above and one from below, came crashing down from both sides.
Even though the corpse roared and howled in a ferocious and terrifying manner, it was completely unable to stop the attack of these two forces.
An unclaimed Immortal-Slaying Sword would be enough to suppress it, let alone the addition of a Son of the Sun who is no weaker than Dao Merging, and perhaps even stronger.
The sword light, capable of annihilating everything, poured down a torrential rain of blood, slicing the corpses into pieces from every angle.
The Great Sun Fist Imprint arrived immediately, transforming into a massive solar furnace that absorbed the fragments of the corpses.
The Sun True Fire was condensing wildly, and the temperature was soaring every moment.
Endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged in from all directions, entering the solar furnace and fueling the fire, gradually refining the fragments of the corpse into nothingness, utterly Destruction.
This happened when the process was about halfway through.
Finally, the second Saint stepped into the Spirit Saint Dao Realm.
It was none other than Kong Yu, the supreme genius and strongest deity of the Peacock Clan!
Upon its appearance, the latter was first attracted by the golden Saint Road that stretched Infinity to the horizon in the center of the Dao Realm.
But soon, his gaze shifted to the desolate Starry Sky.
The power fluctuations emanating from the Solar Furnace were far too intense, like a blazing sun hanging high in the sky, impossible to ignore.
Kong Yu looked over and quickly focused his gaze on the right hand of the golden-robed youth.
"That is..."
Even the Peacock Clan's sharp gaze trembled slightly, "Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure!!"
"Did he just get it?"
The intelligence provided by the clan did not mention that this Son of the Sun possessed Innate Spirit Treasure.
The opponent always fights unarmed.
With unparalleled power, defeat all enemies.
Wherever the Sun True Fire passed, nothing remained; the enemy was reduced to dust.
Since there had been no prior rumors of the other party possessing any Innate Spirit Treasure, it means that this sword-shaped Innate Spirit Treasure originated from the Dao Realm.
How could one obtain a Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure in such a short time?
What incredible luck!
No, perhaps it wasn't luck, but a reward from the Dao Realm.
In previous Yuanhui, when the Spirit Saint Dao Realm opened, the first spiritual cultivator to enter it would also receive many benefits, but never have they been so immense.
That's Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure!
Moreover, judging from its appearance, it seems to be a treasure purely for killing.
If one persists in this, one's combat strength will definitely increase significantly.
"The Son of the Sun seems to be refining something; there's something within that furnace that I find dangerous."
Kong Yu's eyes flickered, and he quickly made a plan.
Opportunity knocks but once.
A Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, was enough to make him risk offending the Son of the Sun to take action.
"He just obtained this sword, and a considerable portion of his energy is tied up in it. Moreover, this sword is extremely ferocious, and it shouldn't be compatible with the masculine aura of the Son of the Sun. My chances are very high!!" Kong Yu was doing his pre-battle mental preparation and boosting his confidence.
What he didn't know was that the Immortal-Slaying Sword was one of the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying, and it was very inclusive. It got along well with the aura within the Son of the Sun and was not as difficult to reconcile as it seemed.
Of course, the most important point is that Kong Yu misjudged the difference in strength between the two.
The Son of the Sun he knew was the same person as the one he knew now, but their strengths were vastly different.
Once he made his decision, Kong Yu no longer hesitated and transformed into his true form as a peacock, a divine bird with wingspans that blotted out the sky, adorned with colorful feathers, and possessing an exceptionally handsome appearance.
Behind the peacock, Five-Colored Divine Light swirled and rose, carrying him at breakneck speed toward the Son of the Sun.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the boy in golden clothes.
He turned his head, looking indifferently at the peacock flying towards him, and subconsciously prepared to raise the Immortal-Slaying Sword to strike.
But then, as if remembering something, he stopped raising his sword and instead opened his left hand, clenched his fingers together, and a small sun appeared in his palm.
Its radiance was dazzling and brilliant, its magnificent light overwhelming the entire Starry Sky.
Its power is immense, almost comparable to that of an ordinary Dao Merging.
But this scene invigorated Kong Yu.
"He was indeed incompatible with that Innate Spirit Treasure treasure sword. This treasure should rightfully belong to me, Kong Yu!"
With this thought in mind, Kong Yu roared to the sky, a deafening cry that carried countless threads of the Five Elements Laws, which condensed into the shape of a feather fan and collided with the flying golden sun.
Boom!!
Rumble!!!
All the broken stars were trembling. There were almost no large stars left in the Starry Sky, only countless fragments floating and surging.
"Son of the Sun, hand over the Innate Spirit Treasure, and I'll immediately retreat. I'll even swear I'll owe you a great favor, how about it?!"
The peacock bird cried out, its voice reverberating through the Starry Sky, but the golden-robed youth remained completely silent, his expression as indifferent as ever. He didn't even move his right hand, fighting only with his left.
One blazing sun after another rose from the palm of his left hand, carrying the majesty and domineering power to illuminate the Starry Sky, striking the peacock.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Kong Yu snorted coldly, and Five-Colored Divine Light rose behind him, attempting to sweep away the sun.
What alarmed him was that the other party was able to precisely find the ever-changing flaws and loopholes within the near-perfect cycle of the five elements.
This made Kong Yu's expression change.
"Impossible! How could you know so much about our clan's Five-Colored Divine Light?!"
As if his forbidden possession had been touched, Kong Yu was enraged and his attacks became even more ferocious.
The Five-Colored Divine Light, which had previously made him invincible among his peers, was now being repeatedly found to have weaknesses by his opponent.
After several attempts, Kong Yu became dazed, and his confidence in his invincibility began to waver.
If the battle continues, this strongest deity of the Peacock Clan will most likely lose all confidence and fall into despair.
After all, being taught a lesson in one's own area of expertise is simply too humiliating.
This is utterly crushing one's confidence.
But at that moment, one powerful aura after another appeared; it turned out that other deities had entered the Spirit Saint Dao Realm.
Those who can enter the Spirit Saint Dao Realm so quickly cannot be weak; they are basically on par with Kong Yu.
Among them are the Fairy Xue Ning from the Guanghan Palace, whose robes flutter in the wind; the current Roc King of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan; the Divine Son of the Xuanming Divine Tortoise Clan; and Zhan Wuji of the War God Clan.
Each and every one of them has made a name for themselves in the Saint Realm.
In addition to the Great God of the Saint Realm, deities from the Primordial Society were also present.
His Highness Huang Yu of the Demon Phoenix Clan and the Crown Prince of the True Dragon Clan are both renowned figures.
At a young age, he was already the strongest in the current era of his clan, and was favored and closely watched by the Saint Realm Ancestor.
More than a dozen Great God appeared almost simultaneously.
They instinctively separated at first, warily observing their surroundings.
What first caught their eye was still the vast and boundless Saint Road, and only then were they drawn to the intense battle fluctuations.
"Help me! The Son of the Sun has just obtained a Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure! We still have a chance before he refines it!!"
The peacock, a divine bird, let out a startling cry, its voice filled with urgency.
"Kong Yu?!"
The current King of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan narrowed his eyes slightly. Although they were both birds, he and Kong Yu did not get along well; they were old rivals.
Regardless, King Peng acknowledged Kong Yu's strength.
The Peacock Clan is notoriously arrogant.
The fact that Kong Yu personally instructed them to take action shows just how troublesome this Son of the Sun is.
"Hehe, these younger generations really are producing talented people in every generation!"
The voice of the Xuanming Divine Son was cold and tinged with jealousy.
The Fairy Xue Ning beside him glanced at him, inwardly scoffing, "Old turtle!"
Among them, Xuanming Divine Son was the oldest, having lived for more than thirty eons, older than many powerful beings.
The further one progresses, the lower the probability of breaking through to the Dao Merging. As a result, Xuanming Divine Son was extremely jealous of those outstanding geniuses, especially the geniuses of the current Yuanhui. He had taken action more than once to cruelly slaughter these beings he envied in the Spirit Saint Dao Realm.
This behavior is certainly despicable, but the old tortoise is still very strong.
They could even be considered among the strongest of the gods, especially in terms of defense. Their tortoise shells, honed over thirty eons, are by no means just for show.
"So, shall we make our move?"
"No matter what you think, I, Zhan Wuji have been in vain?!"
Laughing loudly, the burly young man, exuding Savage and domineering aura, was naked. His bronze skin was deep and restrained, yet contained explosive power.
As he took a step forward, dense patterns appeared on his body.
Those are Battle-Honed Mark, a special physique of the War God Clan that allows them to grow a Battle-Honed Mark after a bloody battle, using the power of blood battle to temper their physique.
The more Battle-Honed Mark member of the God of War Clan has, the stronger their combat power is at the same level.
The Battle-Honed Mark on Zhan Wuji's body were almost countless, densely packed, even covering the outline of his facial features.
As he stepped forward, a torrent of God of War energy surged forth, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Let's make our move too! Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure belongs to the virtuous!"
The lightning giant from the Longbo Clan roared to the sky, his voice booming like thunder. With a casual grab, lightning condensed into a spear, which he held. He strode forward and charged into the desolate Starry Sky not far away, into the fierce battlefield.
"Kill!!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng spread its wings and soared away with a whoosh.
"Do it!!"
Fairy Xue Ning also let out a delicate shout, and pure, cold moonlight spread behind her, transforming into a crescent moon that carried her as she galloped.
No one chose to hold back.
The God-Conferment War was originally intended to eliminate the weak through battle, while simultaneously honing oneself and striving to Dao Merging.
With Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure before us, it would be truly unacceptable not to fight for it.
Then, waves of power strong enough to crush the Starry Sky pressed down from all directions, like a vast, moving dark cloud on the horizon, stirring up wave after wave of spiritual energy in the sky.
The shattered stars in the desolate Starry Sky were pounded even more into tiny fragments by the force of the impact.
Stardust swirled and drifted with the hurricane.
It was as if they were trying to extinguish the ever-shining sun that stretched across the center of the Starry Sky.
"It's finally here!"
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from all directions, the golden-clad youth murmured to himself.
The reason he didn't use the Immortal-Slaying Sword when fighting Kong Yu was that he was waiting for this moment.
For this powerful, Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure to fully unleash its brilliance, a mere peacock is far too inadequate!
