Chapter 449 - 307: Slaying the Divine Spirit in Ten Breaths, the Celestial Vault Falls Silent

"In this place, no sword energy or sword light shall arise, and no sword shall ring."

As the calm voice fell.

An iron rule was momentarily established. In Qinghe City, thousands of miles away, the Cui Family Celestial Human, who was practicing swordplay, was suddenly bewildered,

realizing that the overwhelming sword light he had raised disappeared, and afterwards, no matter how he tried to manipulate the longsword or perform intricate sword techniques,

he could not stir even a trace of sword light, sword energy, and even when he flicked the steel-forged longsword with his hand, not a sound was produced!

He was skeptical, lightly flicking the nearby trees, which made a dull sound, but when he pulled out the tree to use as a sword,

the sound of the tree being flicked was utterly silent.

It was not just him.

The entire Qinghe City, and even the land within a radius of ten thousand miles, was the same.

Whether they were mortals, Innate beings, Celestial Humans, or even Deities,

none could evoke sword energy, sword light, or sword sounds anymore.

It was as if these things had been ’prohibited’ from the most fundamental rules.

Meanwhile, outside the Other Shore World.

The Celestial Sword Energy was similarly influenced by the iron rule, suddenly weakening, and weakening further, about to dissipate!

Yet, just before dissipating, the Celestial Sword Energy still descended.

Cause and Effect Parallel, cause has been initiated, and therefore, the effect followed, unstoppable, unchangeable.

Thus.

The Celestial Sword Light slowly dissipated, a faint bitter smile emerged on the beautiful Divine Spirit’s face, they lowered their head and asked:

"Is there really an afterlife?"

"Yes." The young man said gently.

The Divine Spirit sighed softly, head, body, mind, and soul.

All split from the center.

A Venerate fell, the world for miles rejoiced, the earth was filled with spring color, and the Celestial Vault was tinted with golden light.

Likewise, blood fell like torrential rain.

The world fell silent.

It was at this moment that the fragments of the disintegrated Divine Sword finally fell to the ground—everything before and after, happening within ten breaths.

A disheveled old man’s throat moved for a moment, his face showing disorientation and bewilderment,

he suddenly realized that the sticky sense of the air and space around him and the feeling of being insurmountable had vanished without a trace.

The snow-white hand rested on his shoulder, gently patting it:

"Go."

The disheveled old man, with Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng, turned around wordlessly, walking into the Ghost Gate, entering the Other Shore World—

The deities above the celestial vault, there were none who spoke, none who obstructed.

All quietly watched the four figures walk into the Other Shore World, just at this moment, a sky-shattering lamentation echoed from within the Other Shore World,

a Deity looked, seeing that the true dragon had its head severed, dragon blood sprayed forth, another Venerate had fallen.

The celestial light and canopy within the Other Shore World gradually merged, making this realm once again impossible to be penetrated and seen.

The deities remained silent, silent.

’Thud!’

The divine corpse, split in half, plummeted to the earth, stirring a sky-high cloud of dust and a muffled sound,

amidst which, a Great Power gazed absently at the shattered hand, recalling the moment his own hand was pierced through like tofu by that tenuous sword energy.

He murmured:

"World Venerate... seems to be just a Venerate, or perhaps a false Venerate—but, but His means..."

The Divine Spirits remained silent, instinctively looking at the white-haired elder with a somber expression.

The latter pressed his lips together, silently rescinding the iron rule he had established in this place,

thus, sword light, sword energy, and sword sounds were once again possible here.

"World-Honored One Buddha..."

The white-haired elder lowered his gaze to the divine corpse, his eyes chillingly stern:

"Accelerate the progress of deciphering the Celestial Stele, strive to enable the Venerate to enter the Other Shore World soon."

A Divine Spirit hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"But what use is it for the Venerate to enter the realm?"

"Several Great Powers, even you have personally taken action to stop, yet the World Venerate wielded just a single sword light, and within ten breaths..."

The Divine Spirit paused, reaching out, pointing at the immense divine corpse on the ground.

The celestial vault fell slightly silent once more.

The white-haired elder closed his eyes for a long time.

He spoke deeply:

"One is not enough, then ten, if ten are not enough..."

"Then a hundred."

"Deliver my decree, mobilize the war sequence, and activate the deity-exterminating protocol, a single World-Honored One Buddha, a singular Evil God, occupies an Other Shore World."

"His existence is like a beacon, tempting countless restless beings to attempt rebellion, secession, emulating the actions of this World-Honored One Buddha."

The Divine Spirits exchanged looks, for the elder’s attitude had shifted too quickly, from cautious probing to now intending to employ iron-fisted measures,

even willing to activate the war sequence, willing to pay a brutal price, all to suppress the World-Honored One Buddha!

But... it was understandable.

Previously, the World Venerate had never truly acted.

But now.

The World-Honored One Buddha, though still unfathomable, had at least shown some cards and remained within a killable, suppressible realm,

yet now, what the future may hold is uncertain.

Long pain is worse than short pain.

A Divine Spirit slowly nodded, then asked:

"Which part of the war sequence do you want to mobilize? The Capital?"

The white-haired elder’s face suddenly revealed a faint smile:

"No, issue a call from the forty-nine provinces, let each province send at least one Venerate, this is the decree."

Kong Shentong suddenly looked sideways, staring at the white-haired elder, suddenly understanding his plan.

This guy... wants to use this opportunity to openly weaken the power of the provinces!

The World-Honored One Buddha has established the Other Shore World, and openly slew a Federation Deity, which is the best reason,

whether or not dozens or hundreds of Venerates succeed in hunting him down, it’s not a loss!

Success could eradicate the World-Honored One Buddha, failure could significantly weaken the provinces, thereby removing a huge threat!
