Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1057 Cut Off Your Head

In front of Jade Straits, Zong Shou floated in the air as he looked opposite, with a cold expression.

The mountain canyon, which was originally jade green, was instantly flattened out by a mysterious power.

That narrow mountain path instantly became a wide and flat plain. The valley was expanded, that passageway in which only a few hundred people could pass through could now have a 100,000 people lined up in it.

At this moment, all the generals and soldiers in the Grade Gan camp looked forward with their mouths agape.

The ground shook and the few Saint Realm Experts opposite displayed their strong Spiritual Sense without any fear or worry at all. They gave off a domineering aura.

Zong Shou scoffed coldly, the God Refined Sword in his hand rung out and charged into the air.

It instantly connected to the six Common People’s Sword Artifacts nearby.

Numerous spiritual energy runes appeared in the air, and like a thread they surrounded the Seven Sword artifacts. The Will of the Heavens also suddenly suppressed down on the area.

"Hong!"

Pretty much all of the Grade Seven and above cultivators from the two camps were terrified as they all knelt down.

Those who were Grade Seven and below weren’t able to come into contact with tribulation and the Will of the Heavens, so they didn’t sense anything.

His Spiritual Sense locked onto the positions of those few people and then he slashed across with a vast sword glow.

He showed no mercy, he wanted to destroy everything!

"You dare!"

There was a scoff, only to see four huge hands suddenly reach out from the void and smash into that sword glow.

Instantly, Heaven and Earth shook and sword energy surged all around.

The sword light was the first to fall off as it scattered. Then, the four large arms collapsed too.

"Zhu Zi?"

Zong Shou’s eyes rose up. Opposite him were the three God Venerables from the Confucian Faction and Zhu Zi himself.

At this moment, he could sense End Realm Spiritual Sense intersecting and clashing in the outer region.

Xiuguan was suppressing Qingxuan and Taihuang as well as the three God Venerables from Confucian Faction and Demon Sect all by himself.

Dragon Shadow, Yuanjing, and Lin Xuanshuang were fighting with Wushang Yuan Demon Li Biexue. The latter fought one against three and was still really calm, even having some excess strength.

The Saint Realm Experts opposite became sharper and more arrogant, they were totally unrestrained.

Even if they were suppressed by the Heaven Path Sword Intent, they didn’t fear anything. Instead, they spread out their Spiritual Sense to clash against Zong Shou.

"Ignorant Ruler! Just surrender, you deserve to die!"

"I leveled out Jade Straits, it is the duty given to me from the Heavens!"

"Small kid, you dare to say that you want to wipe out my Confucian Faction!"

"The Heavens will wipe you out!"

The moment the Spiritual Sense spread over, Zong Shou’s gaze became colder and colder. Before the Sword Intent of the first scattered, the second one had already charged out from within the Sword Formation.

Just halfway, the sword glow shuddered, and sharpness spread out from within the sword body.

Zong Shou instantly knew that Wei Xu was the one who had attacked. He directly used his ability to mirror Xiuguan’s ability, that Eternal Dao.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Zhu Zi’s body also appeared in the space a million feet away.

Eight feet tall, he stood above the clouds and looked unusually majestic.

The three God Venerables turned into 33-layer light rings that stacked behind Zhu Zi’s head.

With a finger flicking out, he once again clashed with the Heaven Path Sword that slashed down.

There was instantly a light "Peng" as Zhu Zi’s flashed red and he backed off slightly.

However, he was obviously still stronger, the vast energy was directed beneath his feet as it spread out.

Everything, including the mountains around, were turned to dust.

The ridge was expanded once more. The hundreds of mountain peaks around instantly disappeared.

Zhu Zi looked over with a cold smile.

"I am here to conquer and fight the evil demons, how will I be stopped by you here?"

Zong Shou’s brow frowned. As expected, the Common People’s Path was not strong enough to compete against these three factions of the Cloud World.

He didn’t fear anything at all as he continued to use the Sword Formation. Since he couldn’t crush him in terms of pure power, then he could only rely on changes in the Sword Formation to increase power.

Even if his enemy was aided by three God Venerables and had strength on Xiuguan’s level, he wouldn’t be afraid. He would just go all out and have a great battle!

Using the Spiritual Wave from all around, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. Large amounts of King Path Energy were sent over through the Avici Throne.

The God Refined Sword in Zong Shou’s hand was getting stronger and stronger, the grade of the Seven Swords was also slowly rising.

Just at this moment, an old man who was 120 feet long, wearing a green Taoist robe, stepped down from the void.

He waved his sleeves and a sword slashed down toward Zhu Zi.

"Taiqing God Venerable!"

Exclamations sounded out from the mountains opposite.

Zhu Zi was slightly shocked and threw out a jade scroll. After it spread out, large blocks of golden words started to burn, blocking that sword light which was formed from God Power.

His eyes were filled with disdain, "Sword Sect? You all really are going to interfere?"

A clear laughter spread out from the void, "End Realm cannot interfere in Cloud World matters, that was the agreement made 10,000 years ago. Since you all have forgotten it, then our Sword Sect doesn’t have to follow it either. Sword Sect and Great Gan are allies. We have had great cooperation these few years and are close to one another. How can we sit aside and not do anything..."

The moment his voice stopped, the laughter became louder and louder, "It seems like not only our Sword Sect is going to interfere today."

The moment he said this, a seven-colored light appeared along with a Buddhist chant.

"Primordial Buddha!"

A 120,000-foot body stepped on 12 lotus leaves and descended from above.

He didn’t attack Zhu Zi but summoned a nine-layer Relic Tower to suppress the sky.

The shaking Heaven and Earth instantly stopped. Buddhist light shone brightly, actually buffing onto the Common’s People Sword Formation.

Zhu Zi’s expression turned green. The God Venerable in front of him was the Buddhist Power Incarnation of Amidtaba.

"Good good good, very good! Your Buddhist Faction is helping evil, do you all want to go through the Buddhism Eradication?"

"Your words are false!"

A golden person stepped over through the air. He looked really noble and majestic but his eyes filled with rage. It was Lanka.

Even Buddhas became angry and he was really infuriated by what Zhu Zi said.

That year, when the Buddhist Faction in the Cloud World faced calamity, he personally went through that and felt for it deeply. Buddhist Faction was wrong, not knowing how to retract their strength, being corrupted led to that calamity. However, the other sects and factions sowing discord was another reason.

"Let’s not talk about whether the Ruler is a good Ruler. Even if your Buddhist Faction wants to wipe us out, you need Great Shang to win first."

Zhu Zi didn’t bother to reply, that vast sword energy once again swept over from within the mountains.

Zhu Zi stopped facing it empty-handed, he used a wolf fur brush to smack it.

"Happiness is obtained by first being merciful and passionate, following the will of the Heavens, doing things according to the five virtues, following nature and then calculating the time and place and harmony of all things!"

At that moment, it felt like the entire Heaven and Earth fell into Zhu Zi’s hand, at the tip of the brush.

The brush was actually also filled with large amounts of the Will of the Heavens!

Zong Shou’s pupils constricted and then he calmed down.

So, it depended on whether Xi Zi and his Dao were more compatible with the Heavens, or if Zhu Zi’s Reason was more compatible.

Keng!

After they smashed one another, Zhu Zi’s wolf fur brush seemed to crack in the middle.

That Heaven Path Sword instantly dissipated and collapsed. This third clash ended really evenly.

However, when the sword light spread out, it split into a dozen currents that struck toward the nearby Saint Realm Experts. It was as fast as lightning and it was tough to notice its traces.

Zhu Zi was furious and the brush in his hand returned back to normal instantly.

"There are many people who go against reason and who want to harm others. Anyone with the heart to harm and cheat, to do unruly things, and cause chaos. People are selfish and that causes danger. Dao Heart, Reason of the Heavens, wipe out selfishness and follow Reason!"

After one strike, the hundreds of sword lights were crushed and they totally disappeared.

There were a few of them that popped out. Led by the Sword Formation, not only did they not get crushed, but they became even sharper and stronger.

The aura of those few Saint Realm Cultivators instantly collapsed. They tried their best to retreat, using all methods to try to block and avoid.

Zhu Zi was filled with so much rage that his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

"What is reason? Brotherhood, mercy, intelligence, faith, righteousness! Good and bad is deep within, knowing something is a temptation and not resisting it, Reason will be wiped out."

Material things had an endless temptation for people and their desire to get them was unrestricted and unstoppable. If people used material items to satisfy their desires, then there was no difference in being materialistic and being human.

Zong Shou laughed coldly, his heart calmed down, there were no other thoughts within. He focused on controlling this Common People’s Seven Swords to allow it to reach its strongest level.

He comprehended that the Sword Formation not only absorbed and controlled the Will of the Heavens, but it also included Xi Zi’s Dao!

One had desires, how was that something that could be wiped out!

It was because of such desires the Human Race was able to reach such a level. There were all sorts of corrupted periods but there were also brilliant civilizations. We have created numerous good things...

Created?

Zong Shou was stunned, he always thought that Xi Zi’s Creation Law was birthed from the Absolute Beginning World Creation.

Today, he finally understood. Just like how Xiuguan used the Xuanhuang Great Strength Technique to prove Eternity, Xi Zi used the Human Dao to prove the Creation Dao!

No wonder Xi Zi would create this Common People’s Path, to strive for people of the world and even fall within the Cloud World.

He had to do so, it was his faith...

So that was the case, that was the case!

His thoughts were cleared out, he instantly laughed out loud. He instantly comprehended numerous profound and unsolvable patterns within the Common People’s Seven Swords.

Zhu Zi found it weird but he didn’t care, he continued to chant the true words of his Dao.

"Human hearts are the source of danger, a Taoist Heart is safe, focus on one, focus on the essence, to focus on something within. This is why the Saints say so many things, to teach people reason, to wipe out desires! By clearing out desires and teaching one reasoning, that is learning! To remove their materialistic tendencies, to prevent them from being blinded by them such that their humanity is compromised!"

Before he finished, the sword light made a few exquisite turns, breaking free from his control. Two streaks of light appeared and two heads were tossed into the air.

"You all can level out Jade Straits, but I also can cut off your head! I am an Ignorant Ruler, but I am just waiting for all of you to attack me!"
