The God-Slaying Sword Formation was hailed as one of the most lethal killing formations in the Primordial world, said to be rivaled only when commanded by the four great sages, and requiring the four God-Slaying Swords alongside the God-Slaying Sword Diagram to set it up. The four God-Slaying Swords included: the God-Slaying Sword, the Slaughter-Slaying Sword, the Imprisoning-Slaying Sword, and the Ending-Slaying Sword.
Verses of old once praised them:
Neither bronze nor iron nor steel, hidden away in Mount Sumeru's secret seal.
Forged without the reversal of yin and yang, shaped without water or fire's keen steel.
The God-Slaying slays, the Slaughter-Slaying falls, the Imprisoning-Slaying glows where radiance calls.
The Ending-Slaying shifts without bound or space, leaving scars upon the Dao Gods' robes and face.
Time flowed away like water, silently slipping past. In the blink of an eye, an entire eon had passed.
