Chapter 2406: The Light of Destruction

Jian Chen became locked in combat with the Third Heavenly Layer and Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beasts.

Temporarily, Jian Chen could not kill the stronger Goldensword Beast, so his main target became the weaker Goldensword Beast. He showed no mercy at all, unleas.h.i.+ng his full strength in hopes of ending the battle fast.

Obviously, it was not difficult for him to kill the Goldensword Beast with his current battle prowess. However, Jian Chen faced great obstruction under the interference of the Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast. He was forced to spend some effort in repelling the stronger Goldensword Beast many times. Only then was he able to focus on the weaker Goldensword Beast.

Finally, after around half an hour, he successfully killed the weaker Goldensword Beast, stowing the corpse away as quickly as he could.

The corpses of these Goldensword Beasts would all be valuable. The stronger they were, the more precious they were.

With the death of three Primordial realm Goldensword Beasts, the pressure that the spatial battles.h.i.+p faced decreased drastically. Coupled with the addition of the Spectral Elder, the Primordial realm experts from the Float Empire were gradually able to recover from their weaker position.

However, even with that being the case, the remaining Infinite Primes apart from Jian Chen and Yi Jianping struggled to gain the upper hand against the Goldensword Beasts.

The defences of the Goldensword Beasts were just too tough, and their battle prowess was impressive as well. Apart from experts with startling strength, most people would find it difficult to fend off Goldensword Beasts. Even with G.o.d artifacts, they would struggle to inflict heavy injuries.

As a result, only two of the remaining nine Goldensword Beasts suffered from some wounds.

The two of them happened to be the leading Goldensword Beast fighting Yi Jianping and the one who fought against the spectral elder and a member of the Float Empire.

Jian Chen frowned when he saw how he was locked in combat against the Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast. It was worth more than the Third Heavenly Layer Goldensword Beast, at least two times more, so he really wanted to kill it.

However, he could not use the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways or the Profound Sword Qi. They were basically symbolic of his ident.i.ty, so he was certain that the Primordial realm experts would immediately recognise him once he used them.

If he did not use them, the strength from his Laws of the Sword and Chaotic Body were not enough to kill the Goldensword Beast.

At this moment, dazzling light suddenly appeared. Formations began to fuse together on the spatial battles.h.i.+p, forming a colossal hexagram. Terrifying energy, enough to send chills down Jian Chen’s spine, charged up within the hexagram.

Jian Chen could clearly sense that over eighty percent of the power in the entire spatial battles.h.i.+p had surged into the hexagram like raging rivers. As a result, the energy within the hexagram grew more and more powerful. It shone like the sun, illuminating outer s.p.a.ce.

No longer under attack by Primordial realm s.p.a.ce beasts, the spatial battles.h.i.+p finally had enough power to deal out its most powerful attack.

“This is the Light of Destruction?” Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. The energy gathering in the hexagram was alarming to him. The might of the strike would definitely be on the level of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime or even beyond that.

“The Light of Destruction is a terrifying killing formation created from the fusion of many formations. It’s the ultimate trump card of this spatial battles.h.i.+p, and its strongest attack when journeying through outer s.p.a.ce. It requires a tremendous amount of resources each time it’s used, and it is never used unless absolutely necessary…” The information regarding the hexagram quickly flashed through Jian Chen’s head.

At this moment, the power within the hexagram finished charging up. A blinding stream of light suddenly shot out.

The dark outer s.p.a.ce was dyed white. Countless stars paled in comparison. It was as if the stream of light from the hexagram had become the only existence in the world.

Boom!

With a deafening sound, terrifying storms of energy swept out. The beam of light from the hexagram struck the Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast with power that was chilling to all Infinite Primes.

Immediately, slashes appeared on the Goldensword Beast. Golden blood oozed out and scattered in outer s.p.a.ce.

The Light of Destruction was just too powerful. It had surpa.s.sed the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime and was enough to rival the strike of a Chaotic Prime.

The attack alone had heavily injured the Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast.

“Heaven-sealing Nine Swords, entrap!” At this moment, Yi Jianping called out, and nine swords shot out from him. They fell into a formation and trapped the Goldensword Beast.

Afterwards, his sword danced, and he completely displayed his strength as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Powerful strands of sword Qi landed on the remaining eight Goldensword Beasts.

Every single strand of sword Qi was extremely powerful. They tore through s.p.a.ce and ripped open gashes.

The Goldensword Beast that Jian Chen struggled to kill immediately suffered heavy injuries from one of Yi Jianping’s sword Qi. Golden blood spurted out constantly as it was blown far away.

The other Primordial realm Goldensword Beasts were heavily injured by Yi Jianping’s sword Qi as well, knocked far away.

All the Primordial realm experts from the Float Empire roused their battle spirit, prepared to pursue their opponents.

“Don’t keep fighting. Everyone board the spatial battles.h.i.+p, quick.” At this moment, Yi Jianping’s voice rang out. He did not kill the Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Goldensword Beast. Instead, he approached the spatial battles.h.i.+p. He swung his sword and sent out a few strands of sword Qi, killing off the G.o.dhood Goldensword Beasts around the s.h.i.+p.

With that, the Infinite Primes returned to the s.h.i.+p without any hesitation at all.

However, the spatial battles.h.i.+p had already been surrounded by Goldensword Beasts. Several hundred thousand of them or even a million of them formed a huge ball that firmly encircled the entire s.h.i.+p.

If the Infinite Primes wanted to return, they obviously had to kill these Goldensword Beasts and clear a path.

Very soon, all the Infinite Primes killed their way back onto the spatial battles.h.i.+p. With their return, the intense battles that had erupted on the spatial battles.h.i.+p ended instantly. All of the Goldensword Beasts that had made it onto the s.h.i.+p were killed by them.

At this moment, Yi Jianping looked at Jian Chen and said sternly, “Goldensword Beasts form very large herds. What we’ve encountered right now should only be a tiny swarm. The death of three Primordial realm Goldensword Beasts will definitely alarm even more powerful members of their herd, so we can’t remain here. We need to leave immediately. Sir, please clear a path.”

Clearly, Yi Jianping was referring to Jian Chen’s method of killing all those Goldensword Beasts in a single moment.

The spatial battles.h.i.+p was surrounded by a dense layer of Goldensword Beasts. As soon as they cleared a path, it would be filled up with even more Goldensword Beasts. The slaughter would never end.

There would obviously be no difficulty for the Infinite Primes to leave alone, but they would clearly be in trouble if they wanted to make something as colossal as the spatial battles.h.i.+p break free.

The spatial battles.h.i.+p was just too large, so the path they needed to clear out would obviously be even larger. None of them possessed a method to kill swarms of Goldensword Beasts like what Jian Chen could do.

Jian Chen obviously understood what Yi Jianping was referring to. He glanced past the surroundings and nodded. In the next moment, he arrived at the stern of the spatial battles.h.i.+p alone, suddenly expanding his supreme will from the Ultimate Way of the Sword.
