Chapter 384: Victory and National Domain Dao Artifacts

The first release utilizes ordinary power.

The second release completely revives the powers of the artifact, changing its form.

Destroy and escape unleashes all power in a single explosion, incredibly intense, which can lead to the artifact’s destruction.

In fact, there are only these three stages for artifacts, and no other methods exist to increase their power.

But this is limited to artifacts.

Spiritual Tools, artifacts, and treasures all fall within the category of artifacts.

However, treasures above this level, like Precious Artifacts and Mystical Treasures, have already transcended this range. Even if these higher-stage Spiritual Artifacts use destroy and escape, they will not be destroyed; instead, as time passes, they will automatically repair themselves, returning to a perfect state — provided there is sufficient spirit energy.

To address this situation, someone has developed methods to utilize Spiritual Artifacts to their fullest extent, completely extracting them from Precious Artifacts and Mystical Treasures with no chance of repair.

This is the final release!

Since Precious Artifacts and Mystical Treasures are difficult to destroy, even if they activate destroy and escape, they cannot fully release their power; instead, let them shift into a vulnerable state!

"All formations Blood Sacrifice!"

True Blood System Master smirks, his fingers dripping blood thicker than his mystical power, completely solidifying the blood-red mystical law.

Countless cultivators are infused with lines of blood from afar, their eyes wide open, nearly popping out, looking incredibly terrifying.

Soon after, their blood and spirit ignite, directly pouring into the ground beneath their feet.

Deep beneath the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh lie countless formation nodes…

These formation nodes constitute the super formation.

Now, the blood and spirit of countless people drip down, infecting all nodes, even infusing some spirit veins.

"It’s truly hard to believe; gathering the power of the two sects has somehow led to this point… such insignificant beings have achieved such a leap with the power of inheritance?"

Master of the Dream Sect whispers, his aging body erupting with power as a serpent-like monster with wings of light floats behind him.

He begins to unleash the supernatural powers of the Chaotic Demons.

Blood and spirit surge with inexplicable power, a mysterious contract gradually forming, as many cultivators sense a connection establishing between themselves and the world.

It seems the entire earth spreads their perceptions, allowing them to grasp immeasurable information, producing a sensation of transcending.

Generally, to achieve such a thing, one must undergo a meticulous ceremony, swearing in the name of the True Immortal, to gradually transform the Precious Artifact and Mystical Treasure into one’s own life-bound treasure. However, among the System Masters present, there stands the Master of the Dream Sect from the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect.

He does not possess the power of the Dream Technique himself but commands a terrifying Chaotic Demon named "Dream Ji Ling," a great monster that holds the realm of dreams, making it easy for the Master of the Dream Sect to deceive reality, if only for a moment.

Thus, the ritual is skipped, and all cultivators forcibly establish a connection with the formation.

"Die!"

Yuexin sees the problem and fully brings down the Silver Moon, not wanting to give True Blood System Master any chance.

"Hahaha! In the end, it is the power of inheritance; you cannot stop me!"

True Blood System Master laughs heartily, burning his lifespan, converting all the Powerful Figures into kindling, pouring their energy into the super formation.

"Ah ah ah…"

"True blood!"

"Dream Clan, you will not have a good death!"

All the Powerful Figures roared, summoning their Dao Artifacts to resist the control of True Blood System Master.

But just as they had enjoyed the power of their Dao Artifacts in the past, now they faced equal suffering and torment.

This is the order; the gap between them was too wide, and they simply could not oppose the two Sect Masters!

In the end, their Dao Artifacts shattered, leaving them to accept reality…

Or, they could self-destruct!

"Boom!"

One after another, self-detonations erupted, transforming into an endless expansion of spirit energy, destroying the super formation from the inside.

They were all too aware that they were destined to die.

There were indeed methods to destroy Mystical Treasures.

As long as they formed a blood pact of shared life and death, their owner could command the Mystical Treasures to self-destruct along with them.

Life evaporating together with the artifact — this was the final release.

This was a technique only usable by Spiritual Artifacts above the level of Treasures!

True Blood System Master intended to sacrifice all cultivators of the two sects, activating the final release; under the control of the Dao Artifacts, their chance of survival was utterly gone!

If so, it would be better to abandon all their cultivation and start anew; at least there would be a slight chance of survival!

"Boom boom boom!"

Self-detonations came one after another. While most of these were absorbed by the formations and converted into power, the absorption efficiency was far too low compared to living Powerful Figures — it was a significant loss!

True Blood System Master was not skilled in Spirit Law; unlike Qushuang, he could not manipulate consciousness and body. He could only watch as some System Masters self-destructed and then split their souls to escape.

If they allowed themselves to be possessed, there was still a chance for resurrection, but their strength would surely not return to its current glory.

"Cut… Dream Clan! Stop them!!"

"Firewood, it’s better to accept reality and not make it difficult for this old man."

Master of the Dream Sect’s gaze turned cold. He summoned the Mystic Law, intertwining it with the Chaotic Demons to weave terrifying dreams, controlling all the Powerful Figures present.

Due to the quality difference in power, he could control ordinary cultivators in the Mystic Realm within a short period; however, he could not affect the System Masters.

All the System Masters, along with a few especially powerful figures, remained unaffected, coldly watching from the sidelines.

As long as they possessed powerful Dao Artifacts, they would not be easily judged.

It was not that they couldn’t be affected; in the chaos of battle, doing so would weaken the Dao Artifacts. They needed to ensure that when the Silver Moon Spirit Law was used to block incoming attacks, they could also defend against any Dao Artifacts sent by the opponent.

For now, these System Masters were safe; there was no possibility of them being sacrificed.

"All formations Blood Sacrifice! Final release!"

True Blood System Master smiled, and his voice shook the Great Wilderness, causing the super formation to unleash all its power.

Countless strands of light spread across the earth, shaking even the mountains spanning thousands of miles, causing their vitality and spirit energy to vanish.

The entire Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh transformed into a formation!

If one looked down from the sky, the northern part of the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh had become twelve formation diagrams, while the southern part took the shape of a winged serpent, with the two super formations resonating and their powers merging.

With a thunderous roar,

the entire Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh’s formation detached, exhausting all means to extract the power of the spirit veins. Large sections of spirit veins collapsed, creating astonishing illusions against the sky.

Through the erosion of the Blood Sacrifice, the cultivators established a symbiotic relationship with the spirit veins, and then they burned the spirit veins, choosing to die together with the earth’s spirit veins.

The power they sacrificed was completely utilized by True Blood System Master, transforming into two massive, tangible illusions that surged toward the sky, forcibly resisting the descent of the Silver Moon.

This was the last radiance of the super formation, with a giant snake opening its mouth, ready to bite down on the Silver Moon, when—

Crack!

Such a sound echoed.

True Blood System Master and Master of the Dream Sect lost their last chances.

The enormous illusion of Dream Ji Ling collapsed, failing to inflict any harm on the Silver Moon, and its downward trend could not be stopped.

Another illusion consisted of twelve beams of light that enveloped the Silver Moon; the twelve beams aimed to force the Silver Moon to halt.

Yet similarly, the twelve beams could not withstand such terrifying force and quickly exploded one after another.

"Destroy!"

Yuexin commanded.

This time, the two sects had no hope left; even if they all burned their lifespans, they could not surpass the super formation, and the outcome was set.

Boom!

Everything turned to ashes.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

True Blood System Master went mad, burning everything in a roar, attempting to reverse the situation, but the overwhelming power continued to extinguish him piece by piece.

At that moment, Yun Ye took action, capturing several System Masters and turning them into puppets, successfully gathering eight of them.

He also captured as many remaining System Masters as he could.

However, due to the limited power of the release, he ultimately only barely achieved his basic goal, without creating a single extra System Master puppet, let alone any living System Masters.

As everything calmed down, the silver energy enveloping Yuexin gradually faded, and the land and world returned to normal. The world that had been completely destroyed restored its original appearance.

In the heavenly realm of the Silver Moon, everything that was annihilated wouldn’t affect the outside world; this was the reason Yuexin could expand her domain.

A violent storm of spirit energy surged continuously, forming the Stunning Scene that only occurred when many Powerful Figures fell.

"We’ve won, the two sects… finally resolved!"

Yuexin felt somewhat tired but also very joyful as she gazed at the astonishing scene, finding it breathtaking.

"Next comes the nation-building!"

Yun Ye and Yuexin exchanged smiles amidst the ever-changing storm of spirit energy, where numerous Dao Artifacts lost their luster, floating in the skies.

With a swing of his sword, Yun Ye caused all the Dao Artifacts to explode, turning into endless echoes that infused into the Ming Rihui Sword.

The patterns spread across the Ming Rihui Sword until the transparent blade was completely filled.

It displayed the sun and moon above, and the mountains and rivers below.

The sword body and hilt surrounded the ethereal figures of the people, evolving into a nation-like form, orderly and harmonious.

After four lifetimes, the Ming Rihui Sword finally stepped into the realm of national Dao Artifacts!

Beside it, Tomorrow naturally manifested. She twirled gracefully, filled with joy, spinning in the sky before descending, like a mermaid jumping out of the water. Water and fire enveloped her, and as she landed, the flames and water receded, revealing a new form.

“Absorbing Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Dao Artifact, gaining 1,720,000 Dao region echoes…”

“Absorbing Dream Marsh Spirit Sect’s Dao Artifact, gaining 1,500,000 Dao region echoes…”

“The echoes have surpassed one million; Tomorrow will enter the next growth stage.”

『Dao Artifact rating raised to EX level.』

『Echoes surpassed one million; Dao Artifact range changed: Huangzhou → Luo Dynasty.』

『Dao Spirit · Tomorrow: Growth Stage → Maturity Stage.』

Before her, the girl just opened her sky-blue eyes. The Water Lotus on her right side bloomed, weaving many waterlines around her black hair.

She was a cold girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a perfectly proportioned figure, though still flat-chested. The childishness had faded significantly, and she had become a very charming young woman.

At least Yun Ye found her quite appealing and stared for a long time.

It was strange; he looked again.

“Master?”

The blue Tomorrow did not make any sarcastic comments, only looking at Yun Ye with curious eyes.

Yun Ye casually averted his gaze and said, “Tomorrow, you’ve grown again. That’s great. It seems my pressure will be much less from now on.”

“Mm, I will assist the master to the best of my ability,” Tomorrow replied lightly.

Yuexin, standing nearby, also assessed the grown-up Tomorrow.

She could only describe her as stunning.

Tomorrow is a Dao Artifact, a completely pure ‘Spirit.’ Although she had evolved into a girl, that extreme purity remained.

Just by looking at this girl, one could feel their soul being cleansed, and countless principles would unconsciously emerge in their mind.

Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword had evolved again; the power of ‘Dual Slice Strike’ grew even stronger, while ‘Tomorrow, Again Tomorrow’ had evolved from strengthening belief to comprehending the essence of belief and principles.

“Ding ding! Ding ding!”

As Tomorrow walked, the crisp sound of bells rang from her ankles.

This was a sound only Dao Artifact wielders could hear; the public could not perceive it, yet their souls were constantly cleansed, gaining an understanding of the principles without realizing it.

With a wave of her hand, Tomorrow turned the Ming Rihui Sword, exercising her powers in place of Yun Ye, and slashed the sky with one stroke!

The falling phenomena of the System Masters were completely eradicated.

At that moment, the members of Tomorrow City finally saw the light of day and could clear their vision of the world.

Standing alone in the sky were only a silver-haired woman and a young boy.

They were their leaders!

The hope of Tomorrow!

There was no longer any haunting presence in the sky; the outcomes of those terrifying Powerful Figures were easy to imagine.

After a long silence, someone murmured,

“We won? Did we win?”

“Yes… we won!”

“Tomorrow lives on!!!”

“Tomorrow lives on! Tomorrow will surely triumph! Oh, oh, oh, oh!”

A celebration erupted in an instant.

Countless people, ignoring their excessive blood loss, embraced each other, crying and desperately releasing their emotions.
