Free Web NovelChapter 1007: Chapter 1007: Sword of No Dao
Above Chi Yin Palace, the Enlightenment Immortal Tree’s light grew increasingly intense.
No one could approach that Immortal Tree.
Nor could anyone sense it up close. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Brother Cheng’s state at the moment was somewhat peculiar.
Due to the expansion of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, his Immortal Country was directly squeezed and collapsed.
Logically, this would be fatal for any Immortal, but the problem was he felt no discomfort.
Because the Enlightenment Immortal Tree was still there, the Daoist Heart he invested in it remained.
The Immortal Tree seemed to be the essence of his Immortal Country itself.
He even felt that his ’Immortal Country’ was more stable than ever.
It seemed a higher-level enhancement had occurred.
Yet at this moment, he still didn’t understand the significance of it.
When the Immortal Tree finally returned to his body, there was no need for the Heaven-Connecting Technique to search; the Heavenly Dao proactively attracted him with a unique pull.
Or rather, it was summoning the Enlightenment Immortal Tree within him.
His figure had just vanished from the spot, when Celestial Venerable Mieyang and others immediately followed.
"Quick!"
"He’s already departed!"
"Hopefully, he’ll break through the blockade of those Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures!"
"Unbelievable, such a person possesses the Enlightenment Immortal Tree..."
"What a stroke of destiny this is!"
"I can hardly wait to kill him!"
Disappearing into the distance, they traversed the howling Gang Feng and crossed the infinite starry sky.
Ultimately, they arrived before a mysterious gate linking neither heaven nor earth.
Here, they saw Jiang Cheng’s back and also the first barrier.
In the center of the towering giant gate, a sword with a simple ancient form hovered in the middle.
The sword itself appeared dim, seeming inferior to even the refined iron swords of the Lower Realm.
But upon seeing it, everyone’s expressions changed.
"Terrible, the first challenge is the infamous No Dao Sword!"
Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures actually don’t have names.
This sword wouldn’t traditionally be named, even if it were known as a Celestial Dao Sword.
The bizarre name was given maliciously out of desperation and resentment after many Great Powers of the Primordial Immortal Realm were killed.
It depicts the sword as a tool of senseless slaughter.
Every time these Celestial Dao Barriers are entered, the Supreme Treasure faced initially is random.
Some Supreme Treasures, though equally wondrous, aren’t as lethal; even if not overcome, they won’t necessarily end in death.
But encountering the No Dao Sword, attempting forceful passage will surely lead to death.
Seeing the sword, deep fear was evident in everyone’s eyes.
"Why don’t we retreat and try again?"
They seemed as though they were treating this like a game instance with options to exit and re-enter.
Celestial Venerable Mieyang furrowed his brow.
"What’s the point? If you truly wish to achieve the Heavenly Dao, you must clear the thirteen barriers and will inevitably face the No Dao Sword and Three Soul Beads, treasures heavily infused with killing power."
In fact, he personally feared the sword.
"This sword doesn’t contain any power of rules, yet it is the sharpest existence in the world!"
"At its peak, the No Dao Sword completely ignored power realms and any Immortal Body armor!"
"Just being cut by it, whether living being or dead object, anything with form will be severed, without exception."
"Currently, 2,996 sources have yet to return; the sword’s might has weakened countless times, but beneath the level of Celestial Venerable, nothing escapes death."
He, as a Celestial Venerable, could barely preserve his life, yet would still be gravely injured.
This hints at how terrifying the No Dao Sword once was at its peak.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, can you withstand it?"
Jiang Cheng thought to himself, maybe he couldn’t withstand it, but the addition of his system changed everything.
Listening to their descriptions, this sword indeed sounded incredibly daunting!
No matter the defense, it could cut through anything; thick armor meant nothing before it.
"Don’t worry."
"Just watch Brother’s performance from the back."
Saying this, he confidently flew towards the giant gate.
The group behind him silently murmured, you’re really confident.
Upon reaching a certain spot in front of the giant gate, the sword immediately reacted.
With a swooshing sound, it flew out, slashing directly towards him!
Like a river hanging from the stars, a streak was unleashed.
Jiang Cheng initially wanted to dodge, but realized no matter how he shifted positions, the sword would end up directly above him.
This had nothing to do with Martial Techniques or Rules, but was the Heavenly Dao overriding everything.
The Heavenly Dao dictated that he must be struck, so in the next moment, he indeed was.
This was entirely different from normal battles; even if he wanted to defend himself, he had no idea where to start.
This led Sect Leader Jiang to exclaim how incredible this was.
With a thousand kinds of Profound Patterns at his disposal, he had originally thought there was no power unknown to him in this world.
This time, he gained new insights.
The people behind, upon seeing him actually being hit, collectively exclaimed in surprise.
"This is bad!"
"It’s over!"
"We overestimated him!"
"Turns out he couldn’t dodge..."
But in the next moment, their eyes widened.
The No Dao Sword, capable of breaking anything, passed through Jiang Cheng’s body like an illusory shadow.
It didn’t split him in two, nor did it even sever a single strand of hair.
The entire process seemed like a beam of light swiftly gliding past.
Jiang Cheng remained entirely unscathed.
This scene stunned everyone.
It completely overturned their understanding.
In the past, countless Great Powers of the Primordial Immortal Realm had been sliced by this sword, far too many to count.
Regardless of strength, the most they could do was slightly shift their bodies when locked, luckily avoiding death by getting limbs severed instead.
With the No Dao Sword’s appearance, bloodshed was inevitable; this had become common knowledge among the people of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Now, that understanding was shattered.
The first person unscathed had appeared.
Celestial Venerable Mieyang’s jaw nearly dropped in surprise; he indeed had high hopes for Jiang Cheng but truly didn’t expect this to be so extraordinary.
Even Brother Cheng himself was a bit surprised.
Listening to their lofty descriptions of the No Dao Sword, he thought surely he would die once and then cheat his way through.
Yet it turned out to be painless, not even as impactful as a slash from a refined iron sword, which at least had some sensation.
The reason for this outcome was ultimately due to his Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body.
The No Dao Sword is a Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, devoid of any power of rules, wielding Celestial Dao Karmic Force.
Anything under the Heavenly Dao’s domain, whether living or dead, could not escape the punishment of Celestial Dao Karmic Force, hence it could sever all.
Unluckily, Brother Cheng’s Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body had initially transcended beyond the Immortal Realm, and was unaffected by Celestial Dao Karmic Force.
If he had encountered another Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, such as the Three Soul Beads, he would not have been spared.
The No Dao Sword targeted tangible objects, thus encountering the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body.
But the Three Soul Beads targeted the Divine Soul, and Brother Cheng’s Divine Soul was far from immune to Celestial Dao Karmic Force.
It could only be said that this time, he had come across a Supreme Treasure that he could counter.
