Chapter 2426: Return To Dust (2)
As the world stood still, the Heaven Piercing Sword, now infused with the radiant power of the seven elemental swords, thrummed with an energy that defied comprehension. It pulsed with a light that eclipsed the dim glow of the shattered heavens, casting long, dancing shadows across the battlefield.
Qin Juehai, momentarily stunned by the sudden shift in Jian Yun's aura, felt a prickle of fear crawl down his spine. He instinctively raised his stolen sword, its chaotic energy flickering in response to the overwhelming power emanating from Jian Yun.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But it was too late.
Jian Yun swung the Heaven Piercing Sword in a single, fluid motion that seemed to encapsulate the very essence of swordsmanship. The air rippled and distorted, reality itself bending under the sheer force of his intent.
A wave of pure, unadulterated energy erupted from the Heaven Piercing Sword, washing over the battlefield like a celestial tsunami. It was a power that transcended the elements, a power that embodied the very concept of annihilation.
"Scatter," Jian Yun uttered, his voice echoing through the stilled space, a solemn pronouncement of Qin Juehai's fate.
Qin Juehai, his eyes wide with terror, could only watch in helpless horror as the wave of annihilation engulfed him. He felt his defenses crumble, his borrowed power dissipating like mist under the morning sun. His body began to dissolve, his very existence unraveling at its
core.
"No!" he screamed, his voice a desperate cry that was swallowed by the overwhelming power of Jian Yun's technique. "This is impossible!"
But his denial was futile. He was no match for the true Sword God, the embodiment of swordsmanship, the master of the Heaven Piercing Sword.
His body disintegrated, his essence scattering into the wind, his existence erased from the annals of reality. He was returned to dust, his ambition, his treachery, his very being, wiped clean from the face of the Primal Chaos.
The wave of annihilation subsided, leaving behind an eerie silence. The desolate landscape bore witness to the power of a true Sword God, its scarred surface a testament to the battle that had just transpired.
Jian Yun stood amidst the aftermath, his blind eyes seemingly gazing into the void where Qin Juehai had once stood. His expression remained unchanged, a mask of serenity that hid the turmoil within.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The broken Rain and Cloud Swords, including Rui Xian's sword, fell to the ground one after another.
Jian Yun sheathed the Heaven Piercing Sword, its chaotic aura receding, its power dormant once more. The seven elemental swords, their light dimming, hovered around him.
"You mean...?" He Chong couldn't believe it.
The elderly Ancient True God stroked his beard and said with a serious expression, "Everything was a trap. From the woman who appeared at the beginning to Qin Juehai and the woman in white-it's all a trap to capture Senior Sword God."
Everyone was startled and quickly realized that this was indeed the case. Jian Yun, despite his injury, could unleash terrifying power beyond the True God Realm. It was uncertain whether the woman in white would be able to capture him.
Clearly, Tantai Xue and Qin Juehai appeared to weaken Jian Yun. They knew that he wouldn't leave this place while Yun Lintian was there. Even if he knew it was a trap, Jian Yun had no choice but to step into it.
"This is... terrifying," the female Ancient True God said.
"What should we do now?" another Ancient True God asked.
The elderly Ancient True God looked at the prison and said, "We wait... Clearly, whoever is behind this doesn't care about us. We are probably like ants in their eyes. We must stay here to complete Senior Sword God's instruction."
He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods exchanged glances and remained silent. They had
no objections.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Lintian was still sitting next to the wall, tracing his finger along the complicated laws within it. During this period, he had solved many restrictions, but he couldn't simply leave this place or summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven. The Heaven Piercing Sword and the seven elemental swords lay peacefully on the ground beside him. When they appeared inside the prison five years ago, Yun Lintian had a bad premonition. Something must have happened to Jian Yun.
Unfortunately, he couldn't leave this damned place as he wished.
Yun Lintian's forehead was covered with sweat as he concentrated on the profound laws.
Qingqing raised her little hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead from time to time.
Suddenly, Yun Lintian's eyes lit up. "Found it!"
His aura immediately surged, followed by a cracking sound.
Crackle!
