Chapter 1219: Who Are You Really?

Chapter 558

However, at that time, it was complete!

On the blade, there was no blood light, no evil qi, only the purest edge… daring to challenge all predetermined laws with a sword!

And opposite him was the manifestation of “heavenly law.” It was an unimaginably colossal… eye composed of countless runes of order!

That eye was cold, ruthless, overlooking everything, judging all.

“Reverser, you shall be eradicated!”

The cold divine thought echoed throughout the chaos. This voice was from the same source as the one Xu Ran heard in the furnace heart!

“Hahaha… My fate is dictated by me, not heaven! What are you, to dare judge me!”

That magnificent figure roared with laughter, wielding the divine sword in his hand!

That sword’s splendor surpassed anything Xu Ran could comprehend!

With a single strike, chaos was cleaved, the river of time severed; countless newly born world embryos lived and perished under this sword!

This is… the battle of the epoch! It’s the struggle of orthodoxy! The ultimate duel between order and freedom!

The scene abruptly stopped here.

Xu Ran’s consciousness ebbed like the tide.

He still stood beside the broken sword, but his gaze had radically transformed!

Shock! Unprecedented shock!

He finally understood!

The so-called “heavenly law” was not the ironclad rule from the cosmos’s birth, but the victor of that primeval battle!

Its so-called “order” was a hegemony built on eradicating all “dissent!”

And this sea of realms, the remnants of countless worlds, perhaps… were the defeated and exiled… losers struck down by the heavenly law in that war and subsequent countless epochs of “cleansing!”

This Godslaying Blade was the weapon of that original and mightiest “reverser!” Its presence here was likely due to being broken in that earth-shattering battle and falling here!

What it exuded as “evil qi” was nothing sinister, but the unyielding battle intent of that reverser, the resonance of his “inverse” great dao!

This power was innately irreconcilable with the heavenly law’s order!

“So that’s how it is… so that’s how it is!”

A towering tsunami surged in Xu Ran’s heart, but soon, it transformed into a roaring inferno!

If our paths differ, then… we cannot conspire together!

The heavenly law sees me as an “anomaly” and wishes to eradicate me. Then I shall inherit this “inverse” will and fight you, so-called heavenly law, to the end!

Boom!

Having comprehended all this, Xu Ran’s state of mind suddenly became clear! He no longer hesitated or feared, actively opening his divine soul and Dao foundation, manically operating the “Eternal Reincarnation Sutra!”

“Come! Reforge my body with the fire of the inverse path!”

His broken Reincarnation Domain, at this moment, seemed to have found its “Dao!” No longer just a simple cycle of life and death, but integrated a… domineering spirit that dared to pull all heavens and paths into reincarnation for a reshuffle!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Godslaying Blade seemed also to sense his pure will, this “inverse” aura from the same source!

Its blade, which had been silent for countless epochs, only venting resentment at fixed times, for once actively responded at this moment!

A source energy purer and more magnificent than ever before no longer erupted out in a frenzy, but like a blood-colored divine dragon, majestically flowed into Xu Ran’s body through his arm!

“Ah——!!!”

Xu Ran raised his head and let out a long howl, one not of pain but of extreme… exhilaration!

This power, although still violent, resonated with his “anomaly” origin the instant it entered his body in a wondrous symphony!

Crack! Crack!

His Dao foundation full of cracks, under the wash and nourishment of this source energy, not only didn’t collapse but began to be restored and reshaped at an astonishing speed!

Those cracks were filled with more resilient, more dominating “inverse” laws!

His Daoist Monarch’s image, the divine statue originally cast from myriad glorious paths, was at this moment tinged with an otherworldly blood hue; a trace of defiance, daring to punch at the heavens, appeared between the eyebrows of the statue!

His realm began a mad ascent!

Daoist Monarch First Heaven Early Stage… Stabilized!

Daoist Monarch First Heaven Mid Stage… Breakthrough!

Daoist Monarch First Heaven Late Stage… Breakthrough!

Daoist Monarch First Heaven… Perfection!

That bottleneck, which had troubled countless cultivators for millennia, was as fragile as thin paper before this unreasonable source energy!

“Break for me… Break!”

Rumble!

Inside Xu Ran, a monumental boom like the creation of heaven and earth sounded! An aura far mightier than before erupted from him with a thunderous roar!

Daoist Monarch Second Heaven!

And yet, this was not the end!

That blood-colored dragon-like energy still flowed continuously, pushing his realm further upward!

Daoist Monarch Second Heaven Early Stage… Mid Stage… Late Stage…

This earth-shattering change finally caught the attention of the three scavengers engaged in a fierce battle.

“What?!”

“This aura… someone is absorbing the evil qi source!”

“Below the sword! Who is it?!”

The three simultaneously stopped their hands, abruptly turned their heads, and looked toward the giant broken sword.

When they saw the figure sitting cross-legged below the sword, enveloped by blood-colored divine light, with aura soaring at an unbelievable speed, in their thousands of eyes (or perhaps tens of thousands), disbelief and… overwhelming fury simultaneously erupted!
