358: Invade the vast world of Light and Trace!

The vast, continuous Void Realm was silent and desolate.

At a certain moment, a primitive and majestic bronze eye suddenly opened.

"The ten-year deadline has arrived!"

Due to the exhaustion of the energy left behind by Between the Flowers, the flow of time on the Sword and Blade Plane had returned to normal levels.

That is to say, it was now the same as the flow of time in the Heavenly Dao Great World where my Fellow Countryman Qin Dong resides.

The first thing Li Jinian did after waking up was to check the invasion preparations on the Sword and Blade Plane.

Very quickly, with just a dozen or so flashes and shifts,

Li Jinian finished inspecting the entire situation of the Sword and Blade Plane.

He was very satisfied with the results of the inspection.

Li Jinian saw... on numerous training grounds, countless living beings stood tall and straight like pines.

Battle flags fluttered loudly; the military array was magnificent, and their Aura was majestic.

Li Jinian saw... countless hundred-foot-long Spirit Boat warships docked at every key location, lined up neatly for ten thousand miles, a truly breathtaking sight.

There were even larger behemoths, fully five hundred feet in size, spanning the sky.

They were like man-made divine mountains, pressing down so heavily that anyone who dared to look up at them could barely breathe.

Li Jinian also saw... that even now, all the living beings on the Sword and Blade Plane were preparing for war without a moment's rest.

Artifact Refiners were doing their utmost to manufacture all kinds of offensive and defensive Magical Artifacts, and the fires in the Alchemists' Medicinal Pill furnaces had never been extinguished, remaining constantly vigorous.

Cultivators of the hundred arts, such as Formations and spiritual plants, were also making their own contributions.

In the treasure vaults of the various major factions of the Sword and Blade Plane, mountains of storage rings floated in mid-air.

Li Jinian opened the space within the rings to take a look and saw tens of thousands of jade bottles neatly arranged, the exotic fragrance emitted by the Medicinal Pills intoxicating.

Furthermore, inside the Magical Artifact armory, a large number of brand-new Magical Artifacts were neatly stacked.

Defensive shield armors and offensive swords and blades were all humming slowly, as if thirsting for the nourishment of blood.

In short, the entire Sword and Blade Plane had been sharpening its weapons and training its horses for these ten years, constantly implementing Li Jinian's instructions.

This point made him very gratified.

Zhang Jincao, Ying Lanchanyi, and all the living beings of the Sword and Blade Plane had contributed their own share of strength.

Of course, he, Li Jinian, had not just been sleeping all day for these past ten years.

For the sake of his many Fellow Countrymen, for the Sword and Blade Plane, and also for himself, Li Jinian had made full preparations!

After notifying the two of them, he, as the Heavenly Dao, struck first.

"Depart now!"

"Invade the Light Mark Great World!"

...

Outside in the continuous Void Realm, his Origin was activated.

Li Jinian's main body, the bronze eye, advanced continuously in a certain direction.

Finally, not long after, Li Jinian's main body arrived at the border of the Light Mark Great World.

One more step forward, and it would be the Heavenly Dao barrier of the Light Mark Great World.

"Light Mark Great World, be occupied by me!"

In an instant, the bronze eye erupted with billions of rays of crimson-gold divine light.

The Void Realm where Li Jinian's main body was located became violently turbulent; wherever the golden divine light passed, the Void Realm shattered and returned to nothingness.

Sensing the incoming attack, the Heavenly Dao barrier of the Light Mark Great World shimmered with a faint cyan light, and a massive light screen flowed across its surface to resist the external enemy.

Boom!!!

A heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sound erupted, and all living beings within the two Heavenly Dao Great Worlds simultaneously felt violent fluctuations.

Rumble, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, mountains and rivers overturned.

Inside both Great Worlds, countless top-tier powerhouses emerged from seclusion, all looking up at the sky with astonished gazes.

"Revered Master, what are you looking at?"

The little child also followed his Revered Master's gaze to look at the sky, but he could only see the blue sky and could not see the deeper things.

"I hope I saw it wrong."

...

"Break!"

Li Jinian let out a violent shout, and the Law power of the Sword and Blade Plane, like a surging tide, carried the divine light of countless weapons as it crashed into the barrier.

With a bang, Li Jinian's Law power collided with the barrier.

The continuous Void Realm of this world let out an unbearable wail, and the space for hundreds of millions of miles in every direction was completely distorted.

The Heavenly Dao barrier of the Light Mark Great World began to show cracks, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

Just as it was about to break open a gap,

the next moment, an accident occurred.

A vast and boundless Aura emerged, instantly causing the Heavenly Dao barrier to return to its original state.

It was as if... nothing had happened just now.

Immediately after, another primitive and majestic bronze eye suddenly opened...

...

In the continuous Void Realm, two Heavenly Dao bronze eyes confronted each other.

The Heavenly Dao of the Light Mark Great World manifested, violently unleashing billions upon billions of terrifying heavenly thunders, each bolt containing enough power to annihilate the surrounding stars.

Seeing this, Li Jinian also launched a new attack again; in an instant, the heavenly thunder and divine light collided.

The sound of the collision resounded through both worlds!

The power of the two Heavenly Daos clashed crazily, and dense, intricate rule patterns appeared around Li Jinian; these were precisely one of the legacies of Between the Flowers.

There were no bells and whistles, only the purest collision and wrestling of power.

But in this first confrontation, both sides held something back.

The Heavenly Dao of the Light Mark Great World did not know Li Jinian's true scale and dared not expose its full strength.

Li Jinian was also worried that the other side was hiding something, wanting to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger and lure him inside to kill him.

"It is better to be cautious; let's test it out first!"

The two sides tested each other like this for a full half a year.

At a certain moment, Li Jinian keenly discovered that the other side had developed an intention to retreat.

He immediately seized the opportunity and unleashed his strongest Move!

With a wave of his hand in the void, the ultimate Heavenly Dao dignity was added to the sky-high palm manifested by the bronze eye, with layers of Dao rhyme flowing.

Li Jinian raised his palm slightly, and the terrifying Sword Dao Aura cut through the sky and shattered the earth, with supreme Sword Intent that could crush all vitality gathering within it.

The Void Realm shattered layer by layer, and heaven and earth wailed.

This was the strongest Cultivation Technique recorded in Li Jinian's Origin information, originally a method created by a Sword Emperor.

After his continuous improvements, it had become a supreme killing Move!

"Li Jinian's Invincible Slash of the World!!!"

The Move condensed and took shape, and then Li Jinian slashed heavily toward the Heavenly Dao of the Light Mark Great World.

Rumble...

Infinite energy exploded, and ripples spread out in circles.

Li Jinian's Invincible Slash of the World instantly hit the Heavenly Dao of the Light Mark Great World, slashing fiercely onto the opponent's main body, the bronze eye.

At this moment, it was as if the end of the world had arrived within the Light Mark Great World!

All living beings in that Great World could see the sky vault shattering, tearing open layers upon layers of gaps.

Even the dullest person knew that something terrible had happened.

"Quick! Immediately call a stop to the war on the front lines!"

"The Human Race and the Star Soul Clan must immediately reorganize and prepare for war!"

"Those who disobey will be executed immediately!"

...

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

A few slight cracks appeared on the surface of the Light Mark Great World's bronze eye; it stared deeply at Li Jinian for a moment, then immediately disappeared.

The opponent had run away and was no longer defending.

Li Jinian continued to launch attacks, constantly striking at the weakest point of the barrier.

"Boom!" With a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering loud noise, the Heavenly Dao barrier of the Light Mark Great World shattered, and Law fragments filled the sky, scattering like meteors.

Li Jinian seized the opportunity to pull with his large hand, tearing open a cross-boundary rift tens of thousands of feet wide, from which brilliant light poured out.

"My sons of the Sword and Blade Plane, fight for me in the foreign world!"

From within the rift, massive five-hundred-foot Spirit Boat warships sailed out first.

Battle flags fluttered loudly, followed by an army composed of countless Cultivators; they held Magical Artifacts in their hands, their eyes filled with the conviction of certain victory.

The war to invade the Light Mark Great World thus began...
