258: Chapter 257 This sky won't fall on your heads.
If an ordinary Mahayana Stage Cultivator imprints their will into the Laws of Heaven and Earth, borrowing the power of this world,
then Su Lin, at this moment, had opened up a complete and independent world within his own body!
The silver longsword, pressed against Su Lin's chest and condensed from pure Heavenly Dao obliteration rules, began to tremble violently.
Although no expression could be seen on the faceless face of the heavenly dao incarnation, the originally stable and cold silver light around its body now fluctuated violently like boiling water.
It was exerting force.
It mobilized all the Heavenly Dao rules it could within this ruined Immortal Mansion, attempting to push the silver sword forward by even one millimeter.
However, it couldn't.
Between the sword tip and Su Lin's chest skin, that thin, invisible crystal wall seemed to separate two different dimensions.
The Heavenly Dao's rules, the moment they touched this crystal wall, were directly absorbed by the world tree within Su Lin's body.
"You..."
"You are not... a creature of this realm."
"Only just realizing it now?"
Su Lin opened his eyes.
At that instant, the entire dim Formation space seemed to be lit up.
He did not get up, maintaining his cross-legged sitting posture.
Facing the heavenly dao incarnation, which represented the highest will of this world and was so close, Su Lin slowly raised his right hand.
He extended his index and middle fingers.
His movements were gentle, slow, and even seemed to carry no spiritual energy fluctuations.
Just like that, he unremarkably clamped the tip of the silver longsword.
"A hundred years ago, you took advantage of my unstable Foundation, and with that condescending attitude, forced me to disperse my cultivation and self-detonate my Divine Soul just to save my disciples.
Su Lin's voice was soft, as if he was reminiscing.
"A hundred years later, I returned after cultivating again, and you repeatedly sent down Lightning Tribulations, trying to nip me in the bud."
"Do you think that as long as you are the rule-maker of this world, you can always be high and mighty, crushing me at will?"
The heavenly dao incarnation did not answer; it was frantically pulling the silver sword.
Blinding light erupted from its silver body, and countless Law chains extended from its back, lashing out wildly at Su Lin.
"It's useless."
"In your world, you are the Heavenly Dao."
"But within three feet of me..."
Su Lin looked up, starlight bursting from his eyes.
"I have my own Heaven!"
A crisp snapping sound echoed in the dead silent space.
Su Lin merely twisted his two fingers slightly.
That silver longsword, condensed from pure Heavenly Dao rules, was actually forcefully broken by him!
The broken sword body transformed into a violent spatial turbulence, exploding outwards.
The heavenly dao incarnation was hit hard, its silver body violently shook, retreating hundreds of feet consecutively. With each step back, the Void Realm beneath its feet largely collapsed and shattered.
Su Lin did not immediately pursue.
He slowly stood up.
As he stood, a vast aura, like a rising sun, instantly swept away all the oppression and dead silence in this space.
Mahayana Stage.
He did not look at the heavenly dao incarnation in the distance, which was facing a formidable enemy. Instead, he turned around and looked at his six disciples, who were sprawled on the edge of the Formation Plate, covered in blood, and almost in a semi-comatose state.
Seeing their tragic appearance, Su Lin's heart clenched.
Su Hongling's arm bones were almost completely shattered, Luo Ximei's right eye was a bloody hole, Chu Weiwei's Qi was exhausted, Cold Moon's seven orifices were bleeding, Mu Qingxue's Ice Dome was shattered and she suffered a severe backlash, and even Ye You's Primordial Demonic Vine was burned to ashes.
Each of them was using their lives to buy him that last sliver of hope.
"Revered Master... Revered Master..."
Cold Moon struggled to open her eyes, which were blurred with blood.
When she saw Su Lin standing there safe and sound, his Starlight Dharma Robe slightly disheveled, but his entire being exuding an unprecedented sense of divinity and power,
her eyes, which had been dead silent due to despair, instantly erupted with an unbelievable ecstasy, and two lines of clear tears mixed with blood slid down.
"You... you succeeded..."
Su Lin quickly walked over and crouched down.
He simply opened his arms and gathered these scarred disciples as much as possible under his wide Starlight Dharma Robe.
"You've worked hard."
Su Lin's voice was a little hoarse, filled with deep heartache and self-reproach.
"Next, leave it to your Revered Master."
With a thought, the newly grown world tree within him swayed slightly.
An extremely rich, emerald green glowing life Origin surged out from Su Lin's body, transforming into a gentle spring rain that drizzled down upon the six individuals.
This was not ordinary healing.
This was the creative power of the world tree, a supreme divine object capable of reshaping the Physical Body and repairing the Divine Soul.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
A miraculous scene unfolded.
Su Hongling's shattered arm bones rapidly reorganized and healed in the emerald green light, the newly formed bones even emitting a faint jade luster.
Luo Ximei's shattered platinum right eye had flesh rapidly wriggling, and in the blink of an eye, an eye that was even deeper and contained a higher level of Law than before regrew.
Chu Weiwei's depleted Origin was instantly refilled, Cold Moon's seven orifices no longer bled, and Mu Qingxue and Ye You's backlash injuries were completely healed.
Not only were their injuries healed, but they even felt that after repairing their injured bodies, this green energy had integrated into their Dao Foundation, causing their cultivation, which had already reached a Bottleneck, to show subtle signs of loosening again!
"Revered Master... this power..."
Chu Weiwei felt the surging vitality within her, so shocked that she couldn't even speak coherently.
"Old Man! Are you truly an immortal now?!"
Su Hongling suddenly jumped up from the ground, vigorously swung her perfectly restored arms, and, feeling the explosive power within her, shouted excitedly.
"Alright, don't get too excited yet."
Su Lin stood up, gently patted Su Hongling's head, then turned his gaze to the distance.
There, the repelled heavenly dao incarnation had not fled.
On the contrary, it remained in the Void Realm, its silver light flickering wildly at an extremely unstable frequency.
Above the firmament, the giant silver eye that had originally closed, tore through space again, coldly staring down.
"Anomaly. Beyond control."
As this voice fell.
The heavenly dao incarnation's body began to swell and deform.
The original humanoid outline disappeared, and it transformed into a constantly swirling, pure silver Law storm.
Within this storm, faint shadows of swords, spears, halberds, lightning, raging fires, and even mountains, rivers, and lakes constantly appeared and vanished.
It was drawing upon the most fundamental power of this world.
"Step back."
Su Lin's gentle expression instantly vanished, replaced by an extreme coldness and murderous intent.
He didn't look back, merely uttering two words faintly to his disciples behind him.
"Revered Master, we'll go with you..."
Cold Moon was about to speak, but Su Lin stopped her with a raised hand.
"You all stand here and watch carefully."
Su Lin's gaze was fixed on the increasingly massive silver Law storm, a hint of arrogant coldness curling at the corner of his mouth.
"A hundred years ago, it forced me to self-detonate in a sorry state."
"Today, your Revered Master will reclaim that debt, principal and interest!"
"Does this emotionless product of rules really think it can obliterate me?"
Su Lin took a step forward.
The Yin and Yang Formation Plate beneath his feet instantly shattered, but this did not cause his body to fall.
On the contrary, centered on where he landed, a magnificent starry sky scroll directly unfurled in this void space!
That was the projection of the Myriad Heavens Star Chart, and also the materialization of his inner world's Laws.
He stood in the center of the starry sky, no longer suppressing his newly Breakthrough cultivation.
A terrifying pressure, belonging to the Mahayana Stage yet completely independent of this world's rules, soared into the sky!
"Sword, come!"
Su Lin made a grasping motion with his right hand.
Golden light burst from his glabella, and the half-Immortal Artifact, destiny, which had been reforged by fusing the disciples' Origin power and chaos immortal gold, let out an excited Dragon roar and steadily landed in his palm.
Six-colored divine patterns wildly circulated on the sword body, finally transforming into a profoundly deep dark golden sword glow under the harmonization of the chaos immortal gold.
"Heavenly Dao?"
Su Lin held the sword with one hand.
This was Su Lin's strongest sword technique in his previous life, a technique he couldn't fully unleash even before his self-detonation.
And today, with the enhancement of his inner world and the half-Immortal Artifact, this sword finally reappeared in the human world!
Su Lin had no fancy movements; he simply gripped the hilt with both hands and, from bottom to top, fiercely slashed out a sword strike towards the terrifying silver storm.
"Swoosh!!!"
Between heaven and earth, all sound and color seemed to vanish in that instant.
In everyone's sight, only that dark golden thin line, rising from below, remained.
This thin line was as delicate as a cicada's wing.
It disregarded spatial distance and the flow of time.
It was like a paper cutter slicing through a fragile piece of white paper.
That silver Law storm, representing the highest will of obliteration in this world, was cleanly cut into two, right down the middle, by this dark golden sword line!
"Crack... snap..."
The storm stagnated.
The suffocating Heavenly Dao pressure, the moment this sword mark appeared, instantly dissipated like a deflated balloon.
The heavenly dao incarnation attempted to re-heal its severed Law body.
But it was useless.
At the dark golden sword mark, the Chaos Law of Su Lin's inner world lingered.
As long as Chaos remained, the sword mark would not disappear.
"Im... impossible..."
The heavenly dao incarnation emitted its last fragmented mechanical sound.
The next second.
The silver storm, cut into two halves, could no longer maintain its internal energy balance and underwent a world-shattering series of explosions in mid-air.
Blinding silver light illuminated the entire ruined space of the Ethereal Immortal Mansion, and violent energy turbulence swept in all directions.
"Revered Master!"
In the fierce wind, the disciples struggled to stabilize themselves, anxiously looking towards the center of the explosion.
The light gradually faded.
In mid-air, Su Lin stood proudly, clad in his Starlight Dharma Robe, holding the destiny longsword.
He was completely unharmed.
Not even a corner of his robe was affected by the terrifying explosion.
In the vacuum he created with his own power, he was absolutely invincible.
"We... we won?!"
Su Hongling's mouth hung open, not even noticing her great sword falling to the ground.
That was the heavenly dao incarnation!
It was just... split in half by one sword strike?!
"As expected of Revered Master..."
In Luo Ximei's platinum right eye, obsession and fanaticism had reached an unparalleled degree.
This was the man Luo Ximei had set her sights on! This was the man worth giving everything for, even falling into depravity to possess!
"It's not over yet."
Su Lin, however, did not relax his vigilance. He did not sheath his sword, but instead looked up, staring intently at the firmament above.
Although the heavenly dao incarnation was destroyed, that giant, cold silver eye still hung in the split of the firmament.
The entire space of the Ethereal Immortal Mansion began to emit a mournful groan, unable to bear the strain.
The crack in the firmament was expanding wildly at a visible speed!
That giant silver eye was actually trying to force its way into this space!
It was going to descend with its true body!
"It's getting anxious."
Su Lin sneered.
"This world is already broken. If it forcibly descends with its true body, this continent, and even the cultivation world it governs, will accelerate its collapse due to being unable to withstand its power."
"To obliterate me, this anomaly, it's even abandoning its own Foundation."
"Revered Master, what should we do?"
Cold Moon flew forward, coming to Su Lin's side. Her expression was very solemn; if the Heavenly Dao's true body descended, it would be incomparable to the Incarnation just now.
"Should we escape?" Chu Weiwei also came closer, clutching a few teleportation talismans in her hand. Although she knew they might be useless, it was still a form of psychological comfort.
"Escape?"
Su Lin turned his head, looking at these disciples who had just been fearless, but now seemed a little unnerved.
"Since it dared to hurt you, it must die here today!"
Cold Moon, Su Hongling, Luo Ximei, Mu Qingxue, Chu Weiwei, Ye You—the six of them stared blankly at that back. The instinctive tremor that had arisen due to the Heavenly Dao's true body descending miraculously subsided at this moment.
As long as that back was there, even if the sky truly collapsed, there seemed to be nothing to fear.
"This... this is the Heavenly Dao's true body?!"
Su Hongling swallowed with difficulty. She found that her proud Mahayana Stage Physical Body now felt as heavy as if filled with lead, requiring immense effort to even lift a finger.
"It's rewriting this space."
Mu Qingxue spoke coldly, her Ice Domain inexplicably turning into nothingness three feet away from her body.
"It doesn't allow any rules that don't belong to it to exist.
Here, it is the only truth."
A vibrant, independent inner world Law, separate from this world, instantly expanded with Su Lin as its center!
A golden starlight barrier, a hundred zhang in radius, firmly protected the six disciples within it.
"Stay in my world."
Su Lin's voice was calm and domineering, "As long as I don't die, this Heaven will not oppress you."
