Chapter 416: A Strange Black Hole

Cyan Heaven was once a Heaven of the mortal realm!

But after the passage of time, he clearly sided with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age.

The Seven Races of the Ancient Age caused countless injustices and destroyed several eras in the mortal realm. Moreover, they would continue in the future. Cyan Heaven was indifferent to this. He even persuaded Lin Jiufeng to give up the investigation.

Perhaps it was only now that Lin Jiufeng knew why the Invincible Immortal King back then defeated all nine Heavens and then locked them up.

After arguing with Cyan Heaven, Lin Jiufeng, who originally didn’t have much killing intent, now had surging killing intent.

“I want to slaughter the Heavens once while I’m still in the Immortal King Realm!” Lin Jiufeng was ambitious.

Clang!

In the very next moment, he directly pulled out the Immortal Slaying Sword. This was the sharpest sword he possessed.

The sword pointed horizontally in the air, and a warrior’s killing intent soared.

“Cyan Heaven, you belong to the side of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. I’m here to kill you now,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly. With the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, he directly slashed down without giving Cyan Heaven a chance to explain.

At this moment, the Immortal Slaying Sword displayed its might. Lin Jiufeng released his full strength. His cultivation base was at the peak of the Immortal King Realm, and his strength far exceeded that of an Immortal Emperor. Together with the Immortal Slaying Sword, Lin Jiufeng, who had reached the peak of the Immortal King Realm, slashed out with his sword.

Boom!

In an instant, the vast primal chaos formed into sword energies. A vast and magnificent sword slashed out millions of strands of sword energy, scattering all over this area. Each sword energy carried a huge light, illuminating the radiance of the ages. Lin Jiufeng’s control of the sword intent and sword techniques had already reached perfection.

This substance of the sword energy that was originally like dust was now like golden sand driven by Lin Jiufeng. It was brilliant and small, powerful, and terrifying.

The sword slashed out with a vast aura that was extremely destructive. A kind of life energy spread in the air. It was the hope of life for humans.

The sword energy had an aura of slaughtering everything, but it carried with it the hope of humans. The divine radiance of life spread at this moment, ultimately transforming into sword energy and lightning that drowned the phantom of Cyan Heaven.

Rumble!

Almost in an instant, this terrifying aura directly destroyed the phantom formed by Cyan Heaven and also turned everything in front of him into chaos.

“Damn human. My life is as long as the heavens, I come from the same source as the heavens. Even if the sun and moon decay, I’ll remain immortal. Even though I’m in a bad state now, I’m not someone that an Immortal King like you can humiliate at will. You can destroy my phantom, but you can’t kill my true body. Even the Invincible Immortal King back then couldn’t achieve that. No matter how much you do now, it’s just a pipe dream,” Cyan Heaven roared, angry and terrified.

He really didn’t expect Lin Jiufeng to be such a hot-headed young man. He drew his sword and slashed at someone so decisively.

Moreover, the sword he pulled out was such a sharp divine artifact.

Although Cyan Heaven came from the same source as the heavens, ever since he separated from the Great Dao of the world, he had already become an independent entity. He no longer enjoyed the treatment of existing as long as the world. Although he said that even if the sun and moon would decay and he still wouldn’t die, in his heart, he was already afraid of the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Especially when the Immortal Slaying Sword cut out the hope of life. Cyan Heaven truly felt that this sword could cut through his life source and kill him.

‘Damn it, where exactly did this kid come from? How did this invincible divine sword end up in his hands? If the Invincible Immortal King held such an immortal sword back then, at least half of us, the Nine Heavens, would have died!’ Cyan Heaven was very anxious in his heart. He wanted to resist, but he, who had long used up all his accumulated strength, no longer had the strength to resist Lin Jiufeng.

Now, he could only rely on the array formation that Invincible Immortal King sealed him in back then and the huge mountain range to resist the angry Lin Jiufeng’s attack.

“No matter how much you say, I won’t change my mind. You will definitely die today!” Lin Jiufeng was stubborn. He didn’t talk about other principles or reasons, he simply just wanted to kill Cyan Heaven.

The Immortal Slaying Sword had already been summoned. If Lin Jiufeng didn’t kill him, he would be letting down the true might of this divine sword.

Waving the Immortal Slaying Sword, Lin Jiufeng freely displayed his talent in the path of the sword. All the knowledge and Great Dao abilities that he had comprehended along the way poured out at this moment.

The array formations in this area of the sky and earth were distributed terrifyingly. Lin Jiufeng knew that it wasn’t easy to shake the entire array formation set up by the Invincible Immortal King, but he didn’t need to resist all of them. As long as he found a flaw and killed Cyan Heaven, the other array formations wouldn’t have to be moved. This way, he wouldn’t have to expend any effort to break this array formation.

With his capabilities as an array formation Grandmaster, this wasn’t a problem. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to find a node in the array formation.

At this moment, the sword light surged down like lightning, as if it was really splitting the world apart. The vast sword energy transformed into a vast sea of lightning. Sword energies constantly attacked the Great Dao Array Formation, turning into lightning that slashed down.

Around Lin Jiufeng, the world seemed to have been born at this moment. Flowers, birds, fish, the stars of the universe, gods, ghosts, human demons, everything that a person could think of condensed at this moment in an instant and was then instantly destroyed again.

“Damn you, human. You want to shake the array formation set up by the Invincible Immortal King? You’re simply dreaming. If it was that easy to be shaken, would he have imprisoned me for tens of thousands of years?” Cyan Heaven was shocked and flustered, but he didn’t admit it at all. Instead, he mocked Lin Jiufeng.

The array formation that he once regarded as a cage actually became his protective talisman at this moment. Instead, he hoped that the array formation could stop Lin Jiufeng like how it blocked him from escaping.

But Lin Jiufeng was truly enraged. The surging sword energy transformed into bolts of lightning that slashed down. Mixed with the hope of life for humans, they actually transformed into different lives at this moment.

A Kun Peng[1] that spread its wings and soared 90,000 miles into the sky.

A Godfiend that roared and opened the path of the Primal Chaos Immortal.

A True Dragon waved its tail and shattered the sun, moon, and stars.

A Phoenix in nirvana, bringing with it a brand new tomorrow.

This was a vast scene. They were all formed from sword energy and lightning. They actually vividly displayed the appearance of living creatures at their peak.

It was as if the world was being split apart. It was vast and violent as it directly struck towards the array formation of the Invincible Immortal King.

Lin Jiufeng wasn’t attacking indiscriminately. He was just attacking one of the nodes in this array formation.

This node was the place where Cyan Heaven was hiding.

The violent attacks directly smashed onto the array formation, causing Cyan Heaven to tremble continuously. It was as if the combination of the sword light and lightning had smashed onto his heart.

“Have you gone crazy? I only said some existing facts. Why are you attacking me so frantically?” Cyan Heaven shouted angrily, but this roar carried an unreal sense of futility.

He was really afraid now.

But Lin Jiufeng ignored him.

He drew his sword and attacked the array formation. Even a blade of grass, a worm, and a sparrow had the ability to shake the world under the condensation of his sword technique.

A single blade of grass could cut down the sun, moon, and stars.

A worm could devour the vast universe.

A sparrow could be reborn from the ashes and soar 90,000 miles into the sky.

In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng slashed out with his sword, slashing out the birth of all things. Plants, fish, sun, moon, stars, immortal phoenix, white tiger, evil dragon, and the gods and demons in the primitive world appeared one after another under this strike.

Boom!

This strike directly landed on the array formation node that was constantly being struck.

Crack!

A crisp sound reverberated in Lin Jiufeng and Cyan Heaven’s ears.

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows, his eyes slightly joyful.

Cyan Heaven’s expression changed drastically. His heart pounded like thunder as he roared in disbelief, “This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible! For tens of thousands of years, I’ve constantly tried to break through this array formation, but I haven’t succeeded. Now, you broke through it with just a few strikes! This doesn’t make sense!!”

“Whether it makes sense or not doesn’t matter to us. I’ve opened this array formation, you can come out and take a look at this world. Then, I will send you on your way, letting you truly return to your source energy and become a part of the Great Dao, devoid of all emotions,” Lin Jiufeng held the Immortal Slaying Sword and said coldly.

“No, I’m not coming out.” Cyan Heaven directly rejected. He was a little terrified. He didn’t want to go out. He didn’t want to die at all. It wasn’t easy for him to give birth to his own consciousness. He didn’t want to become a part of the heartless Heavenly Dao anymore.

“If you don’t come out, I will go in. In any case, you won’t be able to escape today,” Lin Jiufeng said unrelentingly.

“Do you really insist on killing me?” Cyan Heaven questioned angrily.

“You belong to the side of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. If I don’t kill you, you will definitely be a disaster in the future. Therefore, please go on your way!” Lin Jiufeng said coldly, not showing any mercy at all. The first major thing he wanted to do after coming to the fourth world was to kill Cyan Heaven.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng raised the Immortal Slaying Sword. The sword was glowing.

The various plants, fish, worms, immortal spirits, the gods, the universe, the galaxy, the Immortal Phoenix, and the evil dragon that appeared just now…

At this moment, they were all condensed on the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Then, as Lin Jiufeng’s sword slashed down, the energy that contained everything directly rushed down from the node where the array formation was broken.

“No!!!!”

Cyan Heaven let out an extremely tragic and plaintive cry.

He was unable to withstand Lin Jiufeng’s strike.

He wanted to beg Lin Jiufeng to spare his life, but it was already too late.

Lin Jiufeng’s sword directly pierced through the core of Cyan Heaven. His source energy dissipated, and the sword energy of the Immortal Slaying Sword was like a dragon that shuttled through his body, eliminating the possibility that his consciousness could still survive.

At this moment, the Great Dao of the world was rumbling. The creatures of the fourth world all raised their heads and looked at the sky, confused.

They didn’t know what had happened.

Lin Jiufeng knew that he had slaughtered a piece of the Heaven.

Each wisp of sword energy that he executed was comparable to the primal chaos sword energy. It could sweep through mountains, rivers, and everything. It could also withstand the impact of the stars. The might of this sword energy was incomparable.

“It’s also your blessing to die under the Immortal Slaying Sword!” Lin Jiufeng heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, he still successfully killed this piece of the Heaven. He wasted a certain amount of time, but after eliminating a hidden danger in the future, at least one less supporter of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age was left.

[Killed Cyan Heaven. Do you wish to Sign in?]

These words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

“In the recent past, the reward from signing in was always ordinary. What good stuff can I get from killing a piece of the Heaven this time?” Lin Jiufeng was deeply curious.

“Sign in!” He agreed without hesitation.

[Sign-In successful. Received Immortal Slaying Array Formation Blueprint!]

Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up. Even though he had already reached the peak of the Immortal King Realm and had signed in for hundreds of years and obtained countless treasures, he still felt a deep surprise at this moment.

Immortal Slaying Array Formation Blueprint.

Without even looking at the introduction, Lin Jiufeng knew that this was something that he lacked and yearned for.

The essence of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array was four swords and a blueprint.

But he didn’t know where the other swords had gone. Lin Jiufeng only had one Immortal Slaying Sword. Now that he had signed in this array formation blueprint, although he couldn’t activate it without the other three treasured swords, the surprise that this array formation blueprint gave to Lin Jiufeng was still incomparably huge.

He decisively put away the Immortal Slaying Array Formation Blueprint. This array formation blueprint was formed from the interweaving of all the sword energies. It wasn’t a real thing. With one hand holding it, one could feel endless sword energies crisscrossing in one’s palm. They were densely packed. Every sword energy that was separated from it was powerful enough to kill Cyan Heaven.

The might of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array combined with the four Immortal Slaying Swords was definitely one of the top in this world, even among the top three in terms of offensive capabilities.

“I must make the best use of my time to gather the other three swords. This way, in the final battle with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, the mortal realm will have a very high chance of winning.” Lin Jiufeng looked forward to the day when the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and the four Immortal Slaying Swords became one.

After signing in for the Immortal Slaying Array Formation Blueprint, the excited Lin Jiufeng prepared to leave this place and continue exploring the Fourth World.

But suddenly, he saw a deep black hole in the array formation after the death of Cyan Heaven. He didn’t know where it led to.

‘What’s this place?’ Lin Jiufeng looked over curiously.

His spiritual consciousness was already incomparably powerful now. It could pry into a radius of 100,000 miles or even hundreds of thousands of miles. But in front of this black hole, Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness was completely devoured by it.

‘A black hole that can devour the spiritual consciousness of others. Interesting.’ Lin Jiufeng, who was about to leave, was suddenly interested.

‘According to common sense, back then, the Invincible Immortal King defeated the Nine Heavens and locked them in different places. Since Cyan Heaven is locked here, there must be something unusual here that made the Invincible Immortal King lock him here. Could it be this black hole?’ Lin Jiufeng stroked his chin and pondered silently.

‘No matter how much I guess, there’s no realistic basis for it. Since Cyan Heaven is already dead, I’ll go in and take a look.’ Lin Jiufeng stopped guessing and acted.

He directly entered the place that was once sealed for tens of thousands of years from the destroyed node of the array formation.

Then, Lin Jiufeng saw the deep black hole.

Inside the black hole, one couldn’t even see their own fingers if they stretched their hand out. Their spiritual consciousness would be devoured the moment they entered. One couldn’t distinguish anything at all inside it. Lin Jiufeng used the Immortal Slaying Sword to scout the way and used his energy to control the sword. He wanted to let the Immortal Slaying Sword go in and take a look to see if there was any danger.

But who would have thought that after the Immortal Slaying Sword entered the black hole, it directly escaped from the control of Lin Jiufeng and disappeared into the black hole?

“How is this possible?” Lin Jiufeng’s expression changed drastically. He had already witnessed the might of the Immortal Slaying Sword. Moreover, this was a divine weapon that had extreme attacking power. How could he let himself lose it?

Moreover, he had just signed in for the Immortal Slaying Array Formation Blueprint. If he lost the Immortal Slaying Sword now, there would no longer be a possibility of gathering the entire Immortal Slaying Sword Array.

Without saying anything, Lin Jiufeng immediately followed closely behind the Immortal Slaying Sword and threw himself into the black hole.

No matter what was ahead, Lin Jiufeng had to go because he couldn’t lose the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Boom!

After entering the black hole, Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness became completely useless.

As for him, he focused on sensing the Immortal Slaying Sword. It was advancing rapidly in front of him. Lin Jiufeng could only speed up and follow behind. He wanted to control the Immortal Slaying Sword, but here, the Immortal Slaying Sword seemed to be attracted by something and completely ignored Lin Jiufeng’s control. Or rather, Lin Jiufeng’s control had already been blocked by a special substance in the black hole.

Hence, he could only follow behind the Immortal Slaying Sword. Moreover, the distance between him and the sword couldn’t be too far, because once he was far away, the signal of the Immortal Slaying Sword would be very weak.

If Lin Jiufeng didn’t want to lose the Immortal Slaying Sword, he had to follow closely behind and pass through the black hole to an unknown place.
