Chapter 1645: Two Excited Swords
Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, Star Ring finally displayed the power that truly belonged to the Fourth True Monarch.
Although, much like the thirteen coffins, it was still impossible to fully harness this power, it nevertheless manifested a vast and awe-inspiring force.
His voice transcended the heavenly sound and surpassed even the Dao sound, as if it embodied the very order of the cosmos and the stars.
When it resounded, the square ruler formed by the gathering of billions of stars in his left eye materialized externally, displaying the power of order across the firmament!
With the straight measure, the boundary was formed.
With the inclined measure, the upper limit was sketched.
With the inverted measure, the bottom was established.
With the horizontal measure, the expanse was mapped.
All these forces gathered together, forming a perfect square that enveloped Xu Qing on all sides. It became... the boundary of the realm.
This realm was isolated, surrounded by flowing chains of order, like a prison, completely cutting him off from the outside world.
This was separating Xu Qing from this space-time!
It made him have no foundation!
Using this method, he broke through the chaotic sea!
Xu Qings eyes narrowed as he sensed that this order was unstoppable.
He also felt an intense discomfort in his consciousness. It was like a mortal gasping for air.
This was because he was isolated from the space-time of the fourth realm. Without the enhancement of this space-time, the consciousness he fused into the Young Lord had no foundation for existence.
In an instant, overlapping shadows appeared on his body.
This shadow was blurry. That was the consciousness he had fused into the Young Lords body after descending here.
Now... as he was isolated, his consciousness was being separated.
Not only that, but at the next instant, the Fourth True Monarchs right eye that contained the circular wheel manifested outward as well. round and resplendent. Above Xu Qing, it began to rotate, drawing a perfect circle!
As soon as this circle appeared, the world rumbled and the Great Dao churned.
Within this circle, countless smaller circles spiraled endlessly, layer upon layer, without a clear beginning or end.
They contained life and death, just like reincarnation.
Each of these circles rotated at varying speeds, generating a terrifying suction force.
This force, aimed at Xu Qing, descended with overwhelming power. Combined with the isolation created by the realm square boundary, it transformed into a staggering force of expulsion.
It wanted to completely expel Xu Qings consciousness from the Young Lords body and this space-time.
With such might, Xu Qing couldnt help but feel a sense of awe. In history, the Fourth True Monarch was indeed a person who possessed the ability to manipulate heaven and earth.
He knew that this wasnt something he could resist, but his thoughts didnt fluctuate much. The moment he decided to fight a decisive battle with Star Ring, he was already prepared.
At that moment, as his body overlapped and his consciousness was drifting away, Xu Qing lifted his right hand and gently wiped his mouth.
With this smear, thunder rumbled in the sky and countless lightning bolts suddenly gathered in the air. Amidst crackling sounds, the lightning formed an old mans hand.
With the appearance of this hand, everything fell silent.
After that, it slowly stretched out in the air and formed a seal.
As soon as this seal was formed, the heavens resonated and all laws of the world trembled and responded, and order and rules were no exception.
That was none other than the Young Lords Ordinance... the Three Karmas Ten Evil Seals!
Black karmic fire erupted from Xu Qings body and swept in all directions.
This fire was so intense that it seemed to be able to burn everything. In an instant, the isolated ground turned into a sea of fire.
After that, it instantly rolled back and returned to Xu Qings body, enveloping it and turning into a seal!
By refraining from false speech, the karma of speech became pure, body and soul found peace, the whole being was free of worry, and all thoughts flourished!
It sealed his mouth and sealed his fate!
This was the seal of speech karma!
With this seal, he could resist the isolation of the realm boundary!
At the next instant, the realm boundary rumbled. Xu Qing, who was enveloped by the black karmic fire, lifted his head and looked at the Fourth True Monarch. A dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, the mark of the heavenly lightning hand changed again.
Thunder rumbled.
If the body did not tread on evil paths, if it refrained from harming lifeby abstaining from killing, stealing, and indulgencethen the body remained pure.
This body was cleansed. Nothing was tainted and no evil was touched.
It was the second of the three karmas, body karma seal!
If the body didnt move, the body was outside of karma, rendering the isolation meaningless.
If it didnt exist in the world, the expelling force had no target to act on.
Resisting reincarnation with this karma!
Standing there, Xu Qing was like a reef amidst raging waves, enduring the howling winds and pouring rain, steadfast and unwavering.
Lets see how your cycle of reincarnation expels me!
At that moment, the realm boundary was in turmoil and the cycle of reincarnation surged violently.
A rumbling sound spread in all directions.
Seeing this, the Fourth True Monarch became decisive. He knew that this battle was his last chance.
His eyes gleamed as he lifted his right index and middle fingers and placed them on his pupils respectively.
He pressed inward!
His eyes instantly turned red, as though the sea of stars in his eyes was dyed red by blood.
In the blood-colored star sea, the power of order emanated in a crimson hue, transforming into a form of punishment, thundering toward Xu Qing.
Punish!
In an instant, the realm boundary and reincarnation were enhanced by this force. As blood light surged into the sky, its might also soared. It forcefully isolated and circulated.
Xu Qings entire body trembled. At this moment, the overlapping shadows on his body also sped up and separated, becoming clearer than before. In fact, most of the shadow drifted out of the Young Lords body.
Above it... formed his shadow!
As expected, its you!
The moment he saw the shadow of Xu Qings consciousness clearly, the killing intent in the Fourth True Monarchs eyes surged violently. He was about to spare no expense to expel Xu Qing from this realm.
However, at this moment, the shadow of Xu Qings consciousness lifted its hand. Young Lord also raised his hand with his body. As for the lightning hand in the sky, it changed again under this resonance.
Mind karma seal, the third karma among the Three Karmas Ten Evil Seals, descended!
The thoughts were pretentious. There were good and evil.
Good must be kept, and evil must be expelled!
Good karma included freedom from greed, hatred, and false views. It empowered the self, growing infinitely great, shining with radiant brilliance, manifesting as auspicious signs.
Evil karma consisted of greed, hatred, and false views. It descended upon enemy deities, becoming a darkness akin to demons, where the light of life dimmed, misfortune inevitably followed, and enmity would arise.
This seal didnt bind ones body or mouth. It bound ones Ordinance!
If the first two karmas acted upon himself, the third karma acted upon the enemy!
The moment it descended, it bound order and rules.
It even enveloped the Fourth True Monarch.
The Fourth True Monarchs body trembled and overlapped. The shadow of Star Rings consciousness was classified as evil karma. Therefore... under the mind karma seal, it showed the intention of being expelled!
This was the two of them expelling each other away!
If one looked over, they would see the figures of Star Ring and Xu Qings consciousness clearly.
Xu Qing was suppressed by reincarnation and the realm boundary.
Star Ring was burned by karmic fire. Moreover, because he was determined to be evil karma, the world rejected him.
They were resisting each others expulsion force!
This was a confrontation between Ordinances, a confrontation between the Fourth True Monarch and the Young Lord, a confrontation between order and eternity, and also a battle between Xu Qing and Star Ring!
In this confrontation, the isolation of the boundary began to show signs of deviation, and the expulsion by the reincarnation became sluggish.
However, it didnt dissipate.
Even though it slowed down, it was like a flood that was pouring down. It could be blocked for a while but it couldnt be completely reversed.
Seeing this, Star Ring slowly raised his hand while enduring the karmic fire and suppressing the expulsion force. His eyes revealed determination.
Even if he had to pay the price, he had to expel this person.
Xu Qings eyes also gleamed. He was about to take out the marriage contract...
That was the final trump card he had prepared for this battle. When the time was right, he would use it and decide the situation.
However, just as Xu Qing and the Fourth True Monarch were about to reveal their trump cards that they thought could determine the outcome...
The sword furnace below suddenly rumbled!
A peerless, sharp intent erupted from the sword furnace!
That was a sign that the immortal swords were about to be born!
The sword embryos which had Qianjun and Piyis consciousnesses were meant to naturally emerge on the day of the wedding according to the history.
However, the situation in the outside world gave them too much pressure.
Especially when Xu Qing and the Star Ring were fighting right in front of them... This made them even more anxious.
Hence, they spared no expense to emerge tonight, changing history and causing waves.
Even though appearing early would cause trouble for some outsiders, they didnt care.
The victory or defeat of Star Ring had nothing to do with them.
Neither did they care about Xu Qings life or death.
Even if the two killed each other or overturned space-time, it had nothing to do with them.
What they cared about was their own goal!
Space-time waves became intense at this moment.
The early birth of the immortal swords would change the history... by quite a bit!
Hence, the Fourth True Monarchs expression changed.
He chose this place to force them!
However, at this moment, it was a critical moment in the battle between him and Xu Qing and he was powerless to stop it.
In an instant, the sky changed color and lightning swept over from all directions, heading straight for the sword furnace.
Bolts of lightning accompanied it and blasted onto the sword furnace.
At that instant, the sword light in the sword furnace erupted, forming a sword rainbow that soared into the sky.
A vortex rose in the sky and rumbled.
Accompanying the sword rainbow were two immortal swords, each shining in black and white!
The immortal swords were born!
The moment they burst forth, the surrounding lightning also transformed into black and white. The thunderous sounds of the swords echoed through the heavens, their overwhelming might shaking the world. The fierce aura they emanated seemed capable of shattering the very fabric of reality.
Within it, there were also the invigorated laughter of Qianjun and Piyi.
Star Ring and that unknown detestable cultivator, we brothers really have to thank you.
If it wasnt for your game and your stimulation, the two of us wouldnt have much confidence in our insights or control over the moment of the immortal swords birth.
Its very likely that we would have failed to grasp it.
However, with your mutual assistance, not only did we emerge ahead of schedule, but our comprehension has also become far more profound!
After this matter is over, our Ordinances will strengthen greatly!
Laughter echoed.
Qianjun and Piyi were extremely excited. They were going to leave this realm and not stay any longer.
Their voices were still echoing before they left.
You two kids, take your time to play. We wont accompany you anymore!
If theres a chance in the future, when you come to the north, youll definitely be able to see our outstanding charm. This is all thanks to you two!
Especially that unknown despicable and unreasonable villain who inhabited the Young Lord. Just you wait, how dare you try to be our master!
Dream on!
These two were really too excited at this moment.
As for Xu Qing, he watched the birth of the immortal swords and narrowed his eyes when he heard the two of them.
At the next instant... a blank jade token flew out of his hosts body!
This jade token was one of the betrothal gifts that Aurora Immortal Lord had given to the Nine Shores Immortal Lord back then. It was blank, allowing one to imprint their divine sense onto it to determine ownership of treasures within the Immortal Palace!
