Chapter 1230 Facing the Heavenly Principle_2

“You’re right! What I’ve been waiting for is a Sword Holder!”

“Kid, what’s your name?”

“Xu Ran. Ran as in the raging flames that consume everything.”

“Xu Ran… What a name, Xu Ran!” The Sword Spirit’s intent roared skyward, “I am named ‘Heavenly Slayer’! I was formed from the last indestructible will of ‘him’!”

“Today, I will bet everything I have left!”

“Xu Ran! Step forward! Let me see if your spark of fire can truly… scorch this decaying ‘Heaven’!”

As the words fell, the broken sword named “Heavenly Slayer” erupted with billions of strands of black Sword Qi!

Each of these Sword Qi contained terrifying Power enough to slay a Daoist Monarch! They did not attack Xu Ran but instead intertwined and spiraled in the air, finally forming a throne constructed of pure Sword Intent…

An isolated, dominant throne filled with rebellion and unwavering will… the ‘Rebel’s Throne’!

“Sit atop it!”

“Use your Dao to carry my ‘discontent’!”

“Use your soul to harness my ‘might’!”

“Use your life to walk that unfinished path!”

The voice of Heavenly Slayer, like thunder from ancient times, exploded in Xu Ran’s Sea of Consciousness, in this space of Deathly Silence!

Xu Ran looked at the throne completely constructed of End Sword Intent without a hint of hesitation.

He knew this was the final test and his greatest opportunity!

Success, and he leaps over the dragon’s gate, opens up a vast ocean and sky, truly steps onto the chessboard to challenge the cosmic order!

Failure, and all would cease, without even a chance for Reincarnation!

But how could he be afraid?

“We cultivators would not shy away from a battle!”

Xu Ran roared, stepping forward.

His newly forged “Reverse Domain” suddenly unfolded, and within that gray domain, a thousand resonances and myriad laws emerged, transforming into a torrent actively rushing toward the throne of Sword Intent!

One step, two steps, three steps…

With each step closer to the throne, Xu Ran’s Dao body bore thousands upon thousands of fine sword marks! Those were injuries inflicted by the Sword Intent of “Heavenly Slayer”!

His Divine Soul seemed to be pierced by billions of steel needles, enduring unimaginable pain!

But he did not stop.

His gaze grew more determined, more brilliant!

His steps were as steady as a mountain, never faltering even for a moment!

Finally, he arrived before the throne.

He extended his hand, slowly pressing it upon the cold, sharp armrest of the throne that seemed capable of severing all.

Then, under the gaze of Heavenly Slayer filled with expectation and scrutiny, amidst the breathless tension of the Tomb Guardian and others at the mountain’s base.

Xu Ran, word by word, resolutely declared:

“Today, I, Xu Ran, use myriad Dao as fuel, use reverse thought as fire…”

“Ascend this throne!”

After speaking, he resolutely turned around and slowly sat down on the throne representing the highest will of all rebels throughout the ages… the ‘Rebel’s Throne’!

Boom—!!!!!!!!!

At the moment he sat, the entire mountain of myriad Dao corpses, along with this vast burial ground, erupted in an unprecedented violent tremor!

The broken sword named “Heavenly Slayer” transformed into a stream of light, instantly merging into Xu Ran’s brow!

And from the countless remaining reverse thought and Dao Principles among the millions of divine and demon remains, at this moment, they seemed to find their final destination, transforming into billions of streams of light, soaring skyward, like rivers converging to the sea, rushing into the throne upon which the young figure sat!

“The era… is about to change…”

At the mountain’s base, the Tomb Guardian gazed at the pillar of Energy piercing the heavens, tears streaming down his old face, muttering to himself.

“This Sea of Realms, silent for countless epochs…”

“Is about to stir!”

This wind is not the natural flow of air but a wind originating from the Origin of the Great Dao, sweeping through epochs of eternity… a wind of transformation!

Rumble!

Centered around Xu Ran, the mountain of myriad Dao corpses formed by the remains of billions of divine and demon beings was now violently trembling with unprecedented intensity. No, it was not merely trembling; it was… disintegrating! It was… sacrificing!

Every ancient corpse, whether it was the demon god with a thousand eyes, the golden ancient ape capable of crushing star domains, or the cosmic giant kun that once devoured a world, began to dissolve inch by inch, transforming into the purest Dao Principles Light Rain. They were no longer savage, no longer discontent but rather carried with them a sense of liberation and hope, like billions of dazzling meteors, shooting toward the sky, all converging into that ‘Rebel’s Throne’!

Upon the throne, Xu Ran’s figure was already becoming blurred, enveloped by infinite light and reason. His Dao body was undergoing a world-shaking transformation. The thousands of ancient Dao Principles that once conflicted and repelled each other were, under the dominion of the “Heavenly Slayer” Sword Spirit and the harmony of the true meaning of ‘reverse,’ perfectly melting into one!

Every inch of his flesh seemed to transform into a microcosm being pioneered, where stars were born and extinguished, and myriad laws evolved. Every one of his bones was imprinted with immortal divine patterns, strong enough to support a collapsing ancient history. His Divine Soul was further transforming completely, becoming a gray Sea of Chaos, and at the center of that Sea of Chaos, an illusory yet real form of the broken sword was slowly condensing.

That is… the Reverse Sword!

It’s the union of the “End Sword Intent” of the Heavenly Slayer Sword Spirit and Xu Ran’s “Reverse Domain,” giving birth to his uniquely… true life essence!

Daoist Monarch Sixth Heaven!

Daoist Monarch Seventh Heaven!

Daoist Monarch Eighth Heaven!

At this moment, Xu Ran’s aura was crazily soaring in a manner completely defying common sense! This was no simple breakthrough but a leap in the level of life itself! The foundation he had accumulated was incredibly terrifying, the Dao of myriad divine and demon beings, the eternal indestructible reverse thought, was now nourishment solely for him, this kind of opportunity, throughout history, was absolutely unprecedented!

Ultimately, his aura settled firmly at the peak of Daoist Monarch Ninth Heaven, only a hair’s breadth away from the legendary realm of “Dao Ancestor”!

But Xu Ran knew that this fine line was a chasm. For his Dao was a Dao unacceptable to the Cosmic Order. To become Dao Ancestor would mean facing the entire old order’s… full power eradication!

“Boom crack!”

At that moment, the chaotic void sky above the burial ground suddenly split open a gargantuan rift beyond description!

Within that rift, there was no thunder, no fire, only an expanse of… extreme ‘Void.’

It was a chilling, indifferent, utterly emotionless ‘Void,’ seemingly the ultimate will of the Cosmos, the manifestation of order. From that ‘Void,’ a colossal, unimaginably large eye slowly opened!

That eye had no pupil, only a complex pattern intertwined with billions of chains of order. It looked down, its gaze locking onto Xu Ran on the throne, a gaze not filled with anger or surprise but a sense of… obliteration!

Just as one would erase a mistake on paper, just as heaven and earth would repair an unfit anomaly, naturally, and rightly so!

Eye of the Cosmic Order!

Finally, it was stirred!

“Here it is!” At the foot of the mountain, unprecedented solemnity burst from the murky eyes of the Tomb Guardian.

“This is… the feeling of facing the ‘Cosmic Order’?” The mysterious voice named “” carried a trace of trembling, “Just by being watched, even the remnants of my will feel as if they will be assimilated, nullified!”

Zhen Shan and Cang Shi were already slumped on the ground, without the courage even to look up. Beneath that eye, they felt so minuscule not even dust seemed comparable, as if the next moment, they would be entirely erased from the causal level, leaving no trace of existence.

Buzz—

With no excess movement, the Eye of the Cosmic Order merely slightly focused its gaze.

A golden decree made purely of ‘Order’ slowly descended from that ‘Void’!
