The Desolate Era Chapter 18 – Ji Ning Attacks

Book 39, Nuwa, Chapter 18 Ji Ning Attacks

When the cultivators inside Houwu City saw that swarm of creatures swooping down towards them, they couldnt help but start to panic slightly. In truth, they were unwilling to fight with these creatures to the death. According to the customary rule, everyone would just help out a bit to give the person who caused the problem a chance to flee; that was as far as everyone was willing to go.

The problem was, this time the one standing behind Patriarch Treewind and Nuwa was Daolord Darknorth. Thus, they hesitated.

All of you, enter the city! Lord Houwu immediately barked mentally, then turned to look at Ning desperately. Daolord Darknorth, what should...

If it wasnt for Ning, Lord Houwu wouldve followed the usual rule. There was no way he would be hesitating for this long.

Ning raised his head to stare upwards at the throng of creatures swooping down towards them. Suddenly, the ordinary aura surrounding Ning began to dramatically skyrocket in power!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!! The skies above the city of Houwu began to shake as countless streams of sword-light appeared out of nowhere. Many millions of swords manifested with Ning at the center, and all of them hung up high. In a single instant, the entire region had transformed into a world of swords.

The creatures which had been furiously swooping down towards Houwu City came to a sudden, startled pause. The crimson bloodfiends and eight-armed giants stared at the sword-light in terror, not daring to move at all. They could sense how sharp the sword-light was, and in fact some of them were nicked by the sword-light, causing wounds to appear on their bodies.

They all understood that the omnipresent sword-light was able to annihilate them all with ease.

This...

This is... the crimson bloodfiend leader, the eight-armed giant leader, and the red-robed maiden were all stunned as they stared at the countless streams of sword-light in the world around them.

This was a world of the sword. Some of the sword-light seemed lively and joyful, some seemed moody and ghostly. Some were filled with malevolence, others were ephemeral and drifting. The countless streams of sword-light combined to form a perfect world of the sword.

Commander?

Clan leader! The crimson bloodfiends and the eight-armed giants all turned to stare at their leaders. They were filled with terror that sprang from within their very bones.

The red-robed maiden swallowed, hard. Her face was rather ashen, and she stared with a degree of fear at the white-robed youth who continued to stand there calmly. Hes too terrifying. He hasnt even attacked; all hes done is unleashed his domain, and its already terrifying. T-t-this domain... most likely, theres no way Hegemons can survive it at all. Theyd be wiped out instantly.

This was indeed Nings Sword Dao domain! Or, to put it another way, this was a domain formed by the prime essences of the Dao of the Sword! Anyone who wasnt powerful enough would be slaughtered with ease by this domain. Ning didnt wish to intensify the problems between him and the Blazesun Ruler; otherwise, the terrified creatures wouldve all been wiped out long ago, save for perhaps those three leaders. It wouldnt have cost him a single scrap of his own power.

......

This scene stunned all of the cultivators within Houwu City.

So this is the power of the Eternal Omega Sword Dao? They stared at the omnipresent streaks of sword-light in the skies. They could sense how terrifyingly powerful the sword-light was. Daolord Darknorth had reached such a terrifying level of power that he didnt even need to personally strike; his domain alone could effortlessly annihilate anyone below the Otherverse Lord level of power.

Now THIS is the real Daolord Darknorth! Patriarch Treewind said with a sigh.

It seems well survive this, Imperator Jade Rainbow said, still filled with awe and fear.

Lord Houwu raised his head to stare at the skies, his gaze filled with envy. If Daolord Daolord was willing to transmit the Dao to me...

Master.

Darknorth. Right now, there were two people who cared about Ning the most. The first was Su Youji, while the second was Nuwa.

The two of them truly cared about Nings life. For him to merely release a Dao domain was one thing, but if he truly wished to kill the three leaders he would have to use his own energies... which was akin to Ning using up his own lifespan! Su Youjis feelings towards Ning went without saying, and while Nuwa had only met Ning a short while ago she already viewed him as one of her closest friends.

Her homeland had produced such a dazzling genius... someone who, even after failing the Daomerge, cared enough to then seek her out to ensure that she would safeguard the Three Realms. Nuwa felt a sense of admiration towards Ning; she naturally didnt wish for Ning to use up any more of his life energy. This was doubly true because Ning was getting into this dispute for her sake!

......

The two hundred-plus Hegemonic reatures all stood in midair, terrified. None of them dared to move at all.

S-s-s-senior! The double-bladed battleaxe-wielding crimson bloodfiend leader was the most frightened of them all. Even his voice quavered when he spoke.

Ning turned to sweep them with his gaze, and as he did the three leaders felt a sense of terror rise in their hearts. This Dao domain had completely enveloped the surrounding area and suppressed everything here.

Scram! Ning barked coldly, his voice echoing for countless kilometers around. The crimson bloodfiend leader lowered his head and gulped, so terrified that he immediately turned tail and fled. As for the other crimson bloodfiends under his command, they all followed him in fleeing.

The ashen-faced red-robed maiden took two steps back. She was hesitating. As a Sourcewalker, she was extremely intelligent and possessed tremendous skills of comprehension. She could naturally tell how terrifying this Daolord was... but the Blazesun Ruler truly was extremely angry. She wanted to try and negotiate and see if a better resolution was possible.

As for the eight-armed giant, he stared intently at Ning without backing down in the slightest.

The red-robed maiden spoke out: I am Walker Scarletbind, and I serve the Blazesun Ruler. Dare I ask who you are, senior?

Darknorth, Ning said.

Scarletbindgreets you, Daolord Darknorth. For the first time, the red-robed maiden bowed her head with great respect. She showed nothing but disdain when meeting with other cultivators, but as soon as she saw the sword-light flooding the skies she understood just how terrifying this cultivator Daolord was, and how worthy of respect he was. His skill in sword-arts alone vastly surpassed the Blazesun Ruler she served.

Walker Scarletbind. Ning nodded. I imagine you understand what I am intending. I do not wish for a battle to arise between the Blazesun Ruler and myself. A minor matter like this isnt worth it.

I do understand, the red-robed maiden said respectfully, But... this time, the Ruler is extremely angry. Im afraid that he wont just let things rest.

Scarletbind, why are you wasting time on him? You there! Cultivator Daolord! The eight-armed giant let out an earth-shaking shout: What technique did you use to unleash this domain of swords? However... this thing isnt a threat to me at all! Your sword domain is harmless to me. Ill kill you with one lash of my chains. Lets see how long you can maintain your arrogance then!

Eight-Armed Hill, do NOT be rude, the red-robed maiden said frantically.

Dont be fooled, Scarletbind! This cultivator Daolord is just putting up an false front of bravado. Cultivators love to lie, cheat, and steal, but all of them are very weak. Hes just a Daolord! How strong can he be? The eight-armed giant leader forced down the fear he had felt earlier, transforming it into rage at the thought of having been deceived by Ning.

DIE! the eight-armed giant leader howled as he ran through the air towards Ning.

You...! The red-robed maiden hurriedly waved her hand, sending out one of the black tentacles and intending to use it to catch the eight-armed giant. However, the eight-armed giants chains began to clatter and clack, smashing the black tentacles apart. The eight-armed giant howled loudly, Scarletbind, do you think I dont know all your little tricks?

The eight-armed giant turned towards Ning once more. DIE! His chains clanked with terrifying power that was nearly equivalent to the Flamewing Gods as he struck out at Ning.

The red-robed maiden felt both frantic and helpless. These creatures all had a far lower level of intelligence. Chaos Primordials werent so bad; they simply had childlike personalities. These creatures, however, had personalities as bizarre as their appearances. Some were sly, some were sinister, some were stupid, some were brutish... and as for this eight-armed giant, he was famous for his explosive temper. He easily went berserk... and now, he had just gone berserk again.

Master, Ill go stop him! Flamewing moved to charge out.

Leave it to me! Ning commanded coldly. Flamewing stared wide-eyed at Ning, as did Nuwa and Su Youji from behind.

Do not! Nuwa said hurriedly.

Flamewing wont be able to dispose of him. Itll keep causing trouble for us. Ning stared at the distant eight-armed giant, which had almost instantly charged towards him. A murderous look was in Nings eyes which caused all the major powers present to hold their breaths. At his current level, Ning was invincible in all the Chaosverse against everyone save the Autarchs. How could he not feel a degree of pride in himself?

Whoosh. Ning stepped forward as well. All the cultivators in Houwu City raised their heads to look, with Patriarch Treewind and Nuwa staring particularly intently.

In this instant, time itself seemed to have froze. Ning stepped forward in a graceful and casual manner, and as he did so space itself seemed to have shrunk between him and the eight-armed giant. He instantly appeared in front of the giant, whose eyes had been filled with berserk savagery... but in the next instant, the look in the giants eyes was replaced by a hint of shock.

Swoosh. Ning struck out with his sword. All of the cultivators present were able to see with clarity how Ning drew a single black sword from the sheath on his back, and then as part of the same motion delivered a chopping blow downwards.
