CHAPTER 1142: CHAPTER 332: UNSHEATH THE SUBDUE EVIL SWORD (2/5)

At this moment.

All human cities, towns, the aquatic spirit realms of sea beasts, including some tribal gathering places developed in the wilderness, were all linked by the spiritual veins of the Network Path, thus lifting a piece of land and ocean into the sky — And it could be seen, the Four Great Spiritual Vein Cities, and even the source of the sea spirit realm, were indeed the center of this human and demon spirit sphere of influence.

A small tree sheltered in the center, hidden in layers of fog, within the center of the formation and the Taiyu Technique.

A ’Jianmu Seedling.’

This Jianmu Seedling is still very young, barely under a kilometer tall, although for humans, and most lifeforms, such a size is considered astonishingly large, but for Jianmu, this is only just past its sprouting stage.

Its roots spread into the spiritual veins, then transformed into the rhizomes of a bamboo forest, speaking upwards, deriving each city, town, and tribe. The entire Tianyuan Realm, all spiritual vein resources controlled by humans, exist solely to nourish it.

And its purpose of existence...

[Jianmu Divine Ship]

Lord of Lianshan, Jiang Haoxu, Immortal Haoxu spoke calmly: [We moved the Heavenly Dao, cultivated the Divine Wood, just for one day to seize the creation of Heaven and Earth, nurturing a realm’s divine wood — when the Jianmu Seedling grows and matures, not needing much, just mature enough, it can derive a vast Cave Heaven realm, transforming into a ’Heaven and Earth Ark’, carrying the Tianyuan people away from this realm]

[All resources in the Tianyuan Realm, aside from constructing the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, are also used to nourish the Divine Wood, accelerating its growth]

[Of course, we also considered that Holy Demons would not let us wait for Jianmu to mature, so even during the seedling stage, Jianmu can transform into a small ark, but in that case... many people will die]

[If defeated] Finally, Lord of Xuandu Mountain, Immortal Yin Zheng said softly, gazing at the immense abyss on the other side of Heaven and Earth, which was beginning to engulf the earth and sky, he shook his head: [Such a result, is not unacceptable, but now, even in victory, using this final measure is quite regrettable]

[But]

Not only Immortal Yin Zheng, the other Four Saints collectively turned their heads, looking at the Haotian Mirror, and at the Candle Dragon Battle Armor.

No. Sensing the true direction of the gaze, Haotian Mirror and Xiyi Heavenly Monarch seemed to realize, and together with the Four Saints, turned their heads toward the distant Divine Weapon Realm.

In the direction where An Jing was located.

[Evil Suppressing Sword Master]

Immortal Yin Zheng sighed deeply, emotions complex: [Fortunately, another Evil Suppressing Sword Master descends, perhaps, we have other choices]

[What do you mean]

Haotian Mirror had yet to react to what this meant, in the Great Void, the Cave Heaven Spirit, also the will of Lord Cheng Guang, Yu Chen, the Ancestor descended with anger: [Do not target Jing’er, he is the Evil Suppressing Sword Master, also my disciple grandson, the next generation Sect Master of Bright Mirror Sect, he will never take risks for your errors!]

At the same time, as the Master of the Divine Weapon Realm, with the assistance of Qian Feng, An Jing could also hear the dialogue of the Heavenly Venerates.

He squinted, sensing the situation of the distant Tianyuan Realm through the Divine Intention on Qu Tong’s body, then spoke: "Esteemed Heavenly Venerates, the situation is urgent, don’t speak in riddles, if there is any solution, just say it."

"Grandmaster, you need not worry either, if not my wish, no one can lead me into peril."

[You kid!]

Chenyinzi immediately felt exasperated — An Jing spoke nicely, but when was he not the one voluntarily choosing the most dangerous possibility?

But thinking like this, perhaps this is the essence of the Heavenly Mandate... those who will reject danger and choose escapism for comfort, to detach, will never obtain the Heavenly Mandate.

Not only is the Heavenly Dao bestowing the Heavenly Mandate mission, it is also because the Heavenly Mandate regards these missions as its own will... oh well, oh well.

Understanding this, Chenyinzi sighed, while An Jing awaited the responses of the Four Saints.

[Just a conjecture]

The head of the Four Saints, Master Xi Yu of Mountain Shouyang said: [But actually quite simple... Sword Master, please summon Subdue Evil]

[Invoke the fragments of the Heaven-Opening Divine Sword beneath Earth Abyss, awaken the Divine Sword Essence that split the Heavenly Dao, dividing the Tianyuan in two... that’s all it takes]

Holy Demon returned to the Abyss of Eternal, yet the state of the Four Saints showed no improvement, on the contrary, they shrunk further into the depths of the cave heavens, struggling to suppress something — dreadful black Demon Aura circulated within, clearly, with Holy Demon’s defeat, as "victors", the Four Saints faced even greater demonic erosion.

If defeated, there’s no need to elaborate. But even when victorious, it was akin to defeat. The threat of the Heavenly Demon was frightfully formidable.

An Jing also knew clearly that the Four Saints now might be exerting all their effort just to maintain their ’human’ will, and their opinions seemed slightly... unclear.

Awaken Subdue Evil? Then say nothing, offer no explanation?

Ha, those Subdue Evil fragments, though not eroded by Heavenly Demons like Embracing the Void’s fragments, the exceptionally extreme will, eager to kill everyone, if awakened, the Tianyuan Realm’s result would be undeniably spectacular!

Unintentionally, it’s possible that the Tianyuan people won’t even have the chance to board the Cave Heaven Divine Ship to escape, all would be pulverized by the Heavenly Sword!

Who would believe such an inexplicable, unclear statement?

"I choose to believe."

Yet An Jing spoke calmly.

At this moment, he turned his head, gazing at the distant other end of the Void, the Tianyuan Realm now half entirely transformed into a golden-red hue: "Because I too have a premonition... the fragments of Subdue Evil, perhaps have always been waiting."

Waiting for him, waiting for the arrival of himself and ’Subdue Evil.’

Waiting for the moment to [Unsheath].

Hence An Jing raised his hand, lifting the sword.

The broken blade of Subdue Evil.

Pointing afar, the edge of Subdue Evil cleaved open a rift, the invisible, intangible Sword Intent instantaneously pierced through the Great Void, through time and space, and through cause and effect, with An Jing’s will, in An Jing’s hand, the [Evil Suppressing Heavenly Sword] emitted a purely pristine, most pure silver light resembling steel.

"Heavenly Sword, Subdue Evil, you fragments that drifted to this place."

Far pointing to Tianyuan, An Jing whispered, seeming both a chant and a summon: "If you too cannot tolerate such a world, intended to recreate with sword..."

"Then unsheath!"

——I have already struck down the Holy Demon, shattered the Demon Nation’s army, now, it’s your turn!

Thus.

Something long dormant awoke from desolation.

In the deepest part of the Earth Abyss, the inner side of Heaven and Earth, the origin of all things, a light emerged.

A silver Sword Light that supported the earth and sky, pierced through all things, splitting Heaven, splitting Cloud Dome, dividing the entire world in two!

In an instant, heaven and earth, all things, dimmed, brilliance was seized, color no longer remained!
