Chapter 369: Tian Jing’s Resolve

Tian Jing mastered the Double Fusion of the Unique Spiritual Law: material decomposition. This was the manufacturing principle of the Sun Star, capable of disintegrating matter and fully releasing energy.

According to the mass-energy equation, one gram of matter can convert into 90 megajoules of energy, making the power of this move reach an unprecedented level.

If 90 megajoules sounds unclear and lacks a direct impression, one can use an example: when a certain island experienced an atomic bomb explosion, it produced 54 megajoules of energy, causing an immediate kill radius of 1.7 kilometers and easily flattening a city. The energy released by one gram of matter is double that of this atomic bomb.

The Sun Star that Tian Jing and the others created seemed small in size, but its actual power could only be compared to thousands of nuclear bombs combined.

Unfortunately, the destruction caused by the Sun Star was not significant; as long as a Mystic Realm being did not forcefully resist with their magic, the threat it posed was nearly negligible.

Moreover, due to its immense destructive capacity, material decomposition was challenging to output at full power; a little misstep could result in self-destruction.

Tian Jing ascended, raising himself to the highest possible height, and then unleashed material decomposition, directing all his power upward.

The flames that engulfed the sky erupted as a result, but—

Boom!

The Colossal Handprint crushed everything, the flames vanished in an instant, failing to accomplish their task of stopping the attack.

This scene made Tian Jing’s pupils contract, and he had no choice but to summon the human Dao artifact, the Hongyun Sword.

Tian Jing knew that his opponent was at least a Mystic Realm figure; otherwise, his Spiritual Law would not be rendered completely ineffective.

Now, he could only rely on the Dao artifact!

“Human Dao Hongyun!”

Tian Jing plummeted from the sky, losing his extraordinary power, but countless ink-painted Hongyun sprang into existence.

These Hongyun appeared surreal, but as they spread, the Colossal Handprint was directly dissolved and completely blocked.

Fair treatment—prohibiting the extraordinary!

“Eh…”

The man in the golden robe gasped in surprise.

With over a hundred thousand echoes, it corresponded to the Mystic Realm and allowed one to cross different Dao artifact systems to directly erase an opponent.

This man in front of him only had fifty thousand echoes yet could nullify his power?

Intriguing!

“Sky and Space Technique!”

The man in golden robes tore apart space, reaching out to grab Tian Jing. But the moment the spatial rift appeared, it was immediately suppressed by the Hongyun.

Even as he exerted more force to maintain the Sky and Space Technique, it still proved ineffective!

Now the man in golden robes was thoroughly confused: “Strange, very strange. What is the condition of your Dao artifact that allows it to completely nullify my power? Have you set principles that forbid combat? Even so, how can it affect me?”

As he spoke, a Dao artifact appeared beside him, revealing an ancient horn.

Though no one blew it, the horn spontaneously emitted a resonant sound.

The illusion of the source Dao artifact appeared, channeling strength to the horn, and its Dao Domain instantly expanded from a hundred meters to over a hundred kilometers, enveloping all of Tomorrow City.

Powerful forces of rules activated, transforming into countless chains aimed at directly erasing the residents of Tomorrow City.

But it was of no use; they were still blocked by the Human Dao Hongyun Sword, and numerous other Dao artifacts ascended, together creating an enormous Dao Domain.

Tomorrow City’s countless residents fueled their hatred and anger toward the man in the golden robe, strengthening the powers of the Dao instruments, creating a subtle counter-pressure.

“Do not waste time, eliminate them.”

The old man in the blue robe spoke up, and an Original Dao Artifact appeared, thoroughly suppressing Tomorrow Society.

The man in the golden robe nodded, gathering his magical power, activating a terrifying Mystic Realm spell that altered the very fabric of the world.

“Purifying Holy Law: One Thought Birth and Extinction!”

In a final moment, a tiny Water Lotus emerged, delicate and intricate, spinning in the man’s palm.

At that brief moment, every hair on Tian Jing and the others stood on end. Despite its minuteness, the entire Tomorrow City was now trapped within this tiny Water Lotus.

If they did nothing, everything would be destroyed!

But now, what power could Tomorrow Society use to resist this Water Lotus?

Even if they blocked this strike, how could they handle what was to come?

“You all must retreat immediately; whoever can escape should do so. I and the other Dao Artifact wielders will hold them off… Unfortunately, we probably won’t last long.”

Tian Jing informed all Tomorrow Society members with his Spirit Sense, urging them to use spatial transmission to evacuate.

“Thanks to Ming Waiyang, the spatial transmission technology has improved a lot. At least we can escape some of us, as long as we leave the Dao instruments behind…”

Liu Shanwei held no illusory hopes.

Their opponent was too powerful; if they took the Dao instruments, Tomorrow Society would surely be annihilated. Only by leaving the Dao instruments behind could they have a slim chance to preserve a spark of hope.

“Struggle with all your might; hold them off for as long as you can. The rest will be up to Ming Waiyang and the others.”

Huo Yang stepped forward, unafraid of life or death. Her Dao instrument ignited at that moment, merging with the Human Dao Hongyun Sword.

Tomorrow Society gathered strength; as long as everyone was willing, then under sacrifice, another Dao instrument could obtain all its echoes.

They could awaken the Tomorrow Dao Weapon, and they were certainly not the kind to fear death. If necessary, they would sacrifice whenever needed.

Hongyun expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire Tomorrow City. Even with two powerful ruling Dao instruments suppressing them, Hongyun could hold for a moment, preventing the ruling Dao instruments from directly erasing the populace.

“It’s up to you.”

Tian Jing nodded at Huo Yang and threw the Human Dao Hongyun Sword, which spun and embedded itself into the ground.

Immediately, a straight area free of Hongyun emerged. Tian Jing activated Heart Fire for acceleration, instantly appearing outside of Hongyun.

After advancing to a state-level Dao instrument, the Human Dao Hongyun Sword could freely choose where to nullify extraordinary powers. However, as long as Tian Jing held the sword, it would eliminate his own cultivation level as well.

Now, faced with two ruling Dao instruments, the true name power of the Human Dao Hongyun Sword would be completely nullified, unable to help him negate the enemy’s strength.

In other words, this Water Lotus could only be countered by him; otherwise, everyone in Tomorrow Society would meet total annihilation.

As for what happened to him afterward…

“I hope Qi Lian can lend a hand; then it’s up to you, Waiyang.”

The Spiritual Roots imprint on Tian Jing’s forehead spread across his body, as if igniting, forming an innate spiritual field that pushed his Spiritual Law powers to their peak state.

In this state, he unleashed the Unique Spiritual Law: Sun Star with a destructive capacity exceeding that of the Unique Armament: Sun Star.

Cracks split open.

An enormous aura erupted with immense force.

Now, this was the only way to stop the Mystic Realm’s assault.

After all, the Sun Star was merely a Spiritual Law and didn’t even qualify as a law realm spell. No matter how vast the quantity of this Spiritual Law was, the Human Dao Hongyun could eliminate it in an instant.

However, the Mystic Law was different; it contained rules and could subtly counter the Dao instruments.

Normally, with the power of Tomorrow Society’s Dao instruments, suppressing the Mystic Realm would not be impossible, but now two ruling Dao instruments suppressed the Human Dao Hongyun Sword, breaking the balance. Currently, the power of the Human Dao Hongyun Sword was absolutely insufficient to completely nullify the Mystic Law.

And considering the Mystic Law’s immense power, even a slight oversight could result in their deaths dozens of times over!

“What kind of power is this? For a Spiritual Realm to possess such strength is quite extraordinary! What relic or Secret Realm does this power come from?”

The man in the golden robe sensed the surge of spirit energy and showed a flicker of emotion.

He had long noticed that the practitioners of Tomorrow City possessed strength that far exceeded their realm, and he had previously captured individuals to investigate, but ultimately failed each time—either due to the rules of the Dao Artifact blocking him or the interference from extraordinary Spirit Laws.

Now, having personally engaged with Tomorrow Society, he confirmed this point: Tomorrow Society indeed mastered various methods.

At the very least, they could reach a level of cultivation capable of unleashing Perfect Spirit!

And this leader-like man held power beyond Perfect Spirit, able to unleash forces comparable to the pinnacle of law realms in the Spiritual Realm.

Such power did exist in the Pure World Holy Land, but the difficulty of mastering it was immense; it was clear that the talent of the man before him was unmatched.

A terrifying power with a simple path to mastery through a Secret Realm inheritance?

This was truly invaluable!

“Exterminate all Dao Artifact wielders and seize their inheritance!”

The man in the golden robe raised his hand, a glimmer of joy flashing in his eyes, as a lotus flower suddenly enveloped the entire Tomorrow City, the destructive force of Mystic Law descending ominously.

Countless people were horrified, left to wait for judgment.

But the Dao Artifact wielders had red eyes, filled with endless unwillingness and anger.

They couldn’t stop this strike.

They could only rely on…

The Chief!

“Destroy all Dao Artifact wielders? Don’t say it… so easily!!!”

Tian Jing suddenly looked up, crimson patterns spreading from his pupils. Every bit of flesh and bone transformed into nourishment for the Sun Star.

If he didn’t do this, if he didn’t sacrifice everything, how could he contend with the one who sat above the heavens?

“Ants dare to look down on the world?”

The man in the golden robe chuckled, even taking the time to share a joke with the old man beside him.

This was expected; although Tian Jing’s opposition had far exceeded the power of the Spiritual Realm, that was all it was. Even if magnified a hundred times, it could not shake him in the slightest.

And as for a mere Spiritual Realm? He assumed that using even a fraction of that scaled-up Spiritual Law had already exhausted all their strength—how could they amplify it another hundred times?

“Hahaha! To look down on the world? What we want is to pull the observer down from the sky and crush them to dust, leaving no throne in the heavens!”

“Unique Major Spiritual Law!”

Tian Jing looked up and laughed, an unimaginable level of power continuously pouring forth. His laughter inspired everyone and sent a message to the Mystic Realm above.

Not all those who embraced the New Dao feared for their lives!

“Sun Star!”

Tian Jing possessed unmatched resolve, as the terrifying power he had accumulated erupted forth in one breath.

This intensity far exceeded the man in the golden robe’s expectations.

—Boom!

The entire ground was leveled; hundreds of miles turned to a sea of flames. The Water Lotus, serving as Mystic Law, was forcibly pushed open, failing to tear apart Tomorrow City.

The terrifying shockwave directly vaporized mountains and lakes, reducing them to ash, leaving only a rising sun in the world.

This explosion lasted for several dozen seconds, as if there was still someone persistently releasing power, returning everything to the heavens.

Finally, the explosion began to settle.

Hongyun lingered.

The Human Dao Hongyun Sword stood embedded in the earth, its power lingering for a long time until a Dao Artifact wielder pulled it out, causing its power to surge once more…
