This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 532 From Destruction to Reconstruction, the Demon Star Descends
The personality of Tathagata is, how should I put it, a rebuttal type. Regardless of right or wrong, he only cares about winning or losing. The more you forbid him from doing something, the more he wants to do it.

Considering he is an extraterrestrial demon, and a powerful one at that, such a personality is not unreasonable.

He's already a demon from beyond the realm, how can you expect him to listen to advice!

Perhaps because of his overwhelming strength, he doesn't need to use his brain in daily life and can solve problems by simply throwing punches. As a result, Tathagata's brain has deteriorated significantly, and his intelligence is somewhat lacking.

With a clever trick, Xiang Yuan easily seized the opportunity, using a burst of chaotic light to shape a small world, then covering it with pure dark magic light, which shot out from the vertical eye between his eyebrows.

This layer of darkness originates from Xiang Yuan's cold-blooded nature, which is three-tenths of his original spirit. In his early years, he inherited the Heavenly Demon's Heart Sutra and diligently cultivated it without ever letting go of it. Especially in the early days, his cold-blooded nature could be considered Xiang Yuan's greatest trump card.

Later it stopped working.

The Cold-Blooded Demonic Transformation was incorporated into the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Form. Using it alone resulted in too little amplification, so this move was relegated to the warehouse to gather dust.

Later, Xiang Yuan underwent blood transfusions and marrow cleansing more and more often. Coupled with the Small World Technique, he went down the path of no return on the Heavenly Emperor. The 'Heavenly Demon Heart Sutra' became even more outdated and was relegated to a secondary role as an auxiliary skill to ensure that Xiang Yuan would not be corrupted by demonic thoughts, and to create his own demonic energy, pretend to be a demonic cultivator, and infiltrate the demon's camp.

He used to pretend to be a demonic cultivator, and now he pretends to be a celestial demon. It works well; even the Great Free Heaven Realm was fooled by his lifelike disguise.

But for some reason, perhaps because Chen Wen had been cultivating Buddhism, and because Buddhism and demons are mutually restraining, under the influence of Buddhism, Xiang Yuan's self-created demonic energy was exceptionally pure. It was not a multicolored black, but a pure black, one could even say it was a black imbued with compassion.

The term "compassionate and merciful demon" may sound strange, but in terms of its manifestations, it makes perfect sense.

The black sword of chaos struck the demonic eye on the chest of the Heavenly Being of Freedom. This guy was all black, with a large eyeball on his chest, just like someone's shield. The target was too obvious, making people subconsciously strike at the target.

The two black lights collided and vanished without a trace. He transformed into the Free Heaven, dispelling his protective demonic light, and the Chaos Sword, having lost its dark effects, plunged directly into the Demon Eye.

The Demon Eye is the true form of the Paranirmitavasavartin. The humanoid outline without facial features is merely the shell of the Demon Eye. Its interior is connected to a boundless universe, giving the Paranirmitavasavartin infinite demonic power and inexhaustible strength.

Long ago, when Xiang Yuan fought against the clone of He Hua Zi Zai Tian, ​​he pierced the world within the Demon Eye with the Heavenly Meteor Sword, which then disappeared directly into the universe without causing any effective damage.

If it were the Chaos Light, which could even slay the very origin of Heaven, the world within the Demon Eye would be in grave danger. A good appetite doesn't mean one can eat anything. A streak of light pierced through the universe, its sword light cutting through the heavens along the way, turning everything in its path into a blank void.

This white light acted on the universe within the Demon Eye, directly splitting this boundless world in two, severing it completely so that they could never be reunited.

“Ahhhh————”

A pain even more intense than the tearing of his primordial spirit struck, and He Hua Zi Zai Tian couldn't help but cry out in agony.

This was not the first time he had experienced the power of the Chaos Light. Some time ago, before the Qianyuan Realm had ascended to a higher dimension, he was caught in a trap set by Abbot Huixing of Dajue Temple, who was also the Buddha. His demonic thoughts entered his body, and he successfully descended into the Qianyuan Realm.

When Xiang Yuan and Ji Wuzhou teamed up, they were first severely injured by the Unrepentant Blade, and then obliterated by the Chaos Light.

Ji Wuzhou's slash turned the Demon Eye gray and white, and he, Hua Zizaitian, was directly blinded. He personally experienced the Chaos Light, but he did not know its true terror. He only knew that this move was okay, but if he were in his prime, he would not use such a trivial skill to embarrass himself.

I regret it now; I shouldn't have looked back just now.

The Heaven of Others was split in two and can never be reunited. Perhaps we won't see the kind of awful plots like "I am who I am," "you are not who I am," or "I fight myself," but the complete body was severed at the waist, and his supernatural powers and strength plummeted.

And it was an irreversible crash!
While he was filled with regret, Xiang Yuan's smile became even more sinister.

"As expected of the firefly in my heart, you survived this attack. Among the extraterrestrial demons, I would call you the strongest!"

This is not the first time the Chaos Light has failed. The shameless Heavenly Emperors have used Heavenly Emperor treasures such as the Mysterious Mirror and the Nine Extremes Dao Platform to neutralize the terrifying destructive power of the Chaos Light at the cost of sacrificing the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

Meanwhile, the Queen Mother of the West, with her profound inner strength, took a direct hit from the chaotic light, only causing a fold in the fabric of her robe.

Even without the Heavenly Emperor's supreme treasure, the Heavenly Emperor of the Transformation Realm withstood this attack head-on, suffering only severe injuries but not death. This shows that his strength far surpasses that of the Heavenly Emperor, but he has not reached the level of the Queen Mother of the West.

Since such a powerful enemy has been offended, it must be offended to death. Otherwise, Xiang Yuan will be surrounded by the Six Paths Goddesses and will not be able to sleep soundly.

Asking the Heavens Nine Paths: One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws.

The fist tilts.

Two simple words, yet they contain the power to shatter all barriers of law.

There were no earth-shattering shouts, no overwhelming momentum, only the moment when a fist was slowly raised and then suddenly thrown out.

When the fist was raised, the wind and clouds of the Great Luo Heaven were still, and the heavens and earth were frozen and difficult to move.

When the fist was thrown, the void of the Great Luo Heaven shattered, and the order of law collapsed.

In the eyes of the Supreme Being, this punch seemed to come from the end of time, traversing the past and the future, and also seemed to descend from outside of fate, tearing apart the chains of cause and effect.

An ordinary strike, without any fancy mechanics, was delivered by the will of the Heavenly Emperor, commanding all the laws of Heaven within the small world. It was amplified by a pseudo-divine mandate, and the terrifying power unleashed was borne by a physical body that was almost like the Heavenly Emperor's body. The power was concentrated into a single point and unleashed with a punch.

No need for reasoning, no need to follow rules, just by relying on the word "I", I can pierce through all illusions.

This punch contains only "I," not the law, and disrespects the Dao!
The fist strikes, and the heavens and earth crumble.

The fist whistled past, its force sweeping in all directions. The terrifying power first threw the Great Luo Heaven into chaos, and then descended from the Great Luo Heaven, tearing open countless spatial rifts along the way, spreading out like a spider web.

It swept past the Three Pure Heavens, invaded the Taiji Misty Heaven, and continued downwards with unstoppable momentum.

Boom! Boom! Boom—

Thirty-six heavens, each one shattered.

The Heavenly Court was overthrown, the order of the Heavenly Realm collapsed, and the Heavenly Gates were wide open...

A violent torrent of energy surged down from above, like an endless galaxy pouring down, instantly filling the earth.

In an instant, the primordial energy of heaven and earth trembled, the trajectories of stars shifted, mountains and continents crumbled inch by inch, and the vast ocean evaporated in an instant.

With the order of the celestial realm and the human realm collapsing one after another, the underworld could hardly remain unscathed and quickly followed suit, its order crumbling under the terrifying onslaught of power.

The Great Free Heaven Realm is a world corrupted by demons. Even the living beings there are tormented by pain to the point of losing their minds. In this world, Xiang Yuan not only has no taboos, but he also gets angrier the more he looks at it. He strikes with all his might, with a hint of breaking through and then rebuilding.

First, destroy this world, then rebuild it!

boom!
Under the devastating blow, the demonized world could hardly maintain its overall order. The body of the Heavenly Being of Otherworld collapsed, the demonic eye on his chest deformed, and he was trapped in the shattered Great Luo Heaven, like a small boat in a vast ocean, rising and falling with the storm.

If He Hua Zi Zai Tian had faced this punch at his peak, he certainly wouldn't have been in such a sorry state. After taking a hit from the Chaos Light, his odds against Xiang Yuan changed from 40/60 to 30/70.

The Heavenly Demon is not the Heavenly Emperor. He occupied this realm and polluted the origin of the Heavenly Dao. He is unlikely to receive the mandate of Heaven. Therefore, the origin of the Heavenly Dao watched helplessly as the Heavenly Demon was beaten up, without making any comment.

It is highly likely that once the pollution is washed away, He will immediately stand on Xiangyuan's side.

"Demon, take another punch from me."

Xiang Yuan unleashed two powerful attacks in quick succession, full of energy and showing no signs of exhaustion. He caught up with He Hua Zizai Tian and landed another punch. His blood essence was abundant, making him fearless in wars of attrition and prolonged battles. He had an endless supply of powerful attacks, as many as he needed.

If someone suddenly appears in a state of being overly enthusiastic, without a doubt, it's just something they're using to fool people.

boom!
His fist shattered the vast sky, tore apart the space in front of him, and utterly destroyed the Heaven of Transformation.

Xiang Yuan relentlessly pursued and punched, wantonly trampling every corner of the Great Luo Heaven. The sound of the mirror shattering rose one after another. Bearing an unbearable weight, it crackled and exploded, creating rifts in the void. It shattered, collided, and vanished until it returned to nothingness.

The force of the fist acts upon the Heaven of Other Transformation, the Heaven of Great Luo, and the order of the Three Realms.

From afar, the Three Realms were overturned by the turbulent storm, and the dark void was swallowed up. A magnificent force suddenly erupted, blasting out an unclosable void abyss between heaven and earth.

The void was chaotic and churning, the rampaging energy was no longer restrained, spreading across the heavens and earth, stirring up waves of earth, fire, water and wind...

In the chaotic void, he, Hua Zizaitian, managed to fight Xiang Yuan to a draw, even though he was constantly being beaten.

He tried to fight back, for example, by taking advantage of Xiang Yuan's fatigue and releasing a skill during a break. However, Xiang Yuan's skill bar had no basic attacks, only ultimate skills, and as an athlete, his explosive power and endurance were maxed out, so he didn't feel tired at all. While waiting for the countdown, he only received more critical hits.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer, or he would be beaten to death by Xiang Yuan today.

Buzz buzz————

The black light expanded into a sphere, and the violent demonic light rapidly expanded. The blurred facial features and limbs of the otherworldly being vanished, leaving only a demonic eye that magnified uncontrollably.

Xiang Yuan let out a soft "hmm" and retreated swiftly.

Looking up, the earth, fire, water, and wind surged in all directions, while at the center, the boundless void of the Great Luo Heaven was silent, with a dark and gloomy shadow looming in the sky, coalescing into a giant sphere.

With a hiss, the vertical line tore open on both sides, revealing an enormous demonic eye of unimaginable size suspended above the Great Luo Heaven, surrounded by demonic energy, like a black sun burning with demonic flames, overlooking the Three Realms, eternally residing above all living beings.

Upon closer inspection, the Demon Eye Black Sun is not suspended in mid-air. At the edge where it contacts the Great Luo Heaven, purplish-black meridians writhe, deeply embedded in the Great Free Heaven Realm, completely embedded in this world.

Like cancer cells, it invaded rampantly and completely occupied the Great Freedom Heaven Realm.

Xiang Yuan was surrounded by demonic light that invaded all things, and demonic sounds that polluted all things were everywhere. Wherever the sun shone on the demonic eye, the demonic realm would exist forever and could not be erased.

He could clearly sense that the moment the Demon Eye Sun appeared in the world, the Great Freedom Heaven Realm stopped collapsing, and the earth, fire, water, and wind were suppressed by the powerful demonic will. The Demon Realm seemed poised to make a comeback.

"Humph!"

A cold snort resounded throughout the Three Realms, and the will of a Heavenly Emperor swept across all directions.

Two powerful wills swept and collided, crushing and crushing each other, causing ripples to spread through the void, and the earth, fire, water and wind immediately returned.

"If I hadn't been tricked by you, how could you have been so arrogant and domineering here!" The Great Sun exhaled black light and demonic voice, filled with resentment and hatred.

"Don't frame innocent people without evidence. It wasn't me who plotted against you, it was this place..."

Xiang Yuan tapped his temple and raised an eyebrow, saying, "It's your brain that betrayed you. Considering you only have one eyeball and no brain at all, you were born with a defect, so it's not your fault."

When it comes to verbal skills, Xiang Yuan only admires the Jianxinzhai group. They can talk even more than him with a slight smirk. Hua Zizaitian is obviously not among them. Xiang Yuan can make him half-dead with a slight smirk.

Rumble————

Above the heavens, boundless demonic light shone.

In his rage, He Hua Zi Zai Tian conjured countless demon kingdoms, which poured down upon Xiang Yuan in an amount equal to the sands of the Milky Way.

"You dare to show off your petty skills before an expert? Didn't the Heavenly Emperor, who you've made famous in this world, tell you that we, who call ourselves 'the Lone Ones,' are best at the art of small worlds?" Xiang Yuan raised his arms, and his small world emanated from his body, transforming from the illusory into the real, endlessly evolving.

Yin and Yang intertwine, and the Five Elements generate each other, as a magnificent world slowly unfolds.

In this world, the sun and moon shine together, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the vital energy of heaven and earth is abundant. It grows rapidly at an unrestrained speed and devours all the attacking demon kingdoms with a ravenous force.

By absorbing external forces and expanding itself, the small world evolves at a faster pace.

This scene deeply stung the Demon Eye Great Sun.

The terror of the Heavenly Demon lies not in its endless demonic power. Everyone has power; the higher the righteous path, the greater the demonic path. There is no strongest, only stronger.

The terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Demon lies in its corruption. All those with desires cannot escape its divine powers. Even if one's strength is a level higher, one must be extremely cautious when facing the Heavenly Demon, the source of corruption.

Xiang Yuan has no such worries. Not only can he create his own demonic energy and impersonate a celestial demon perfectly, but he is also not subject to the pollution or control of demonic thoughts.

The most outrageous thing is that he can also swallow demonic thoughts and turn them into his own.

Why is there such a huge difference between Heavenly Emperors, even more so than between a human and a dog?

He Hua Zizai Tian remembered very clearly that the Heavenly Emperor he defeated was completely powerless to resist and utterly vulnerable; to call him weak would be an understatement.

"The taste is not bad, is there any more?"

Xiang Yuan looked up at the sky, his heart skipped a beat. When he expanded his small world, he discovered that the Great Freedom Heaven Realm could be refined and devoured by him, either becoming part of his small world or into himself.

Forget about the Desolate Ancient Realm; it's the place where the Heavenly Emperor passed away, practically a treasure trove of natural resources, perfect for a pseudo-Heavenly Emperor like him who has good teeth and is currently building his business.

What's going on with the Great Freedom Heaven Realm? How did a world that possesses the origin of the Heavenly Dao and its own will end up on the dinner table?
Xiang Yuan wasn't sure whether it was because of the combination of the Formless Seal Technique and the Small World Technique that he became increasingly inhuman, indiscriminately eating meat and vegetables on the menu, and tasting everything; or whether the demonized Heavenly Dao Origin had lost its will and was no longer worthy of being served at the table, but only on the menu.

The small world slowly unfolded, touching the silent origin of the Heavenly Dao. The aura of pseudo-destiny spread out, and the origin of the Heavenly Dao immediately activated.

They showed no grief over the death of the former representative of the Heavenly Emperor and warmly welcomed Xiang Yuan's arrival.

Heaven's Way: Look here, we've been waiting for you for a long time!

Xiang Yuan tried, but he couldn't cleanse the corrupted Heavenly Dao essence from himself. However, this didn't prevent him from becoming the Heavenly Emperor of this realm...

It seems, 80%, possibly, with an extremely high success rate.

Base raid tactics, initiate!
Today, in front of Him, the God of Transformation, we will expose all His efforts.

Xiang Yuan thought to himself that he had already made contact with the origin of the Heavenly Dao through the expansion of the small world. He did not show it, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to provoke the Heaven of Transformation.

"You devil, show me what other tricks you have up your sleeve. No need to rush. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll play with you for ten bucks first."

"You madman..."

"impossible!"

Just as He Hua Zi Zai Tian was about to refute, he suddenly realized that an invisible hand had secretly reached out to the origin of the Heavenly Dao, transforming the Heavenly Dao origin, which was already in his shape, into its own shape.

This is outrageous! Right in front of him, right under his nose!

He Hua Zizaitian was furious, suppressing his fear with anger. At this moment, he was beginning to believe Xiang Yuan's words about the scheme.

Someone is plotting against him, making all his efforts a waste for Xiang Yuan.

How could we let you succeed!
The Demon Eye Sun unleashed boundless black light, and the entire Great Freedom Heaven Realm revealed traces of undulating meridians in the void. Thick, mountain-like demonic veins traversed the void, crisscrossing and forming a vast network covering heaven and earth, sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting, binding the void and sealing off the three realms.

Not just in the sky, but also on the ground, underground, in water, in the abyss...

Every inch of land was churning and writhing, as if billions of venomous snakes were awakening from the other side of the world.

Xiang Yuangang had just made contact with the origin of the Heavenly Dao. Due to the anomaly of the Demon Eye Sun, his base-stealing tactic failed. He noticed the crazy actions of the Transformation Heaven and roughly realized something. He hurriedly gathered his small world, first building himself the thickest armor, then opened his vertical eye between his eyebrows and shot out another beam of chaotic light, heading straight for the Demon Eye Sun.

If you can't have it, destroy it. He Hua Zizai Tian refused to be a stepping stone and prepared to self-destruct and destroy the Great Free Heaven Realm!
"Jiejiejiejie————"

Seeing the chaotic light coming towards him, the Demon Eye Sun laughed wildly. He knew he couldn't block this move, and he never thought of stopping it. He unleashed half of the universe within his Demon Eye that was difficult to merge with, which burned fiercely and expanded rapidly.

The Great Free Heaven will be taken away by Xiang Yuan, and he cannot stop it. Half of the universe can only be viewed but not used, and he cannot reverse it.

Since that's the case, let's discard both of them and destroy them ourselves while they still have value and are still under our control.

Not only must it be destroyed, but it must also be used to deal with Xiang Yuan!

The chaotic light easily sliced ​​half of the universe in two. At the same time, this half of the universe merged into the Great Free Heaven Realm. The giant demonic eye hanging above the Great Luo Heaven contracted its pupils, becoming as deep as an abyss, and exhaled an aura of destruction.

At first, it was just a faint black light, but then it suddenly exploded, and thousands of black lights poured down, as if the gates of the deepest hell had been completely opened!

The light was neither scorching nor bright; it was chilling and piercing, penetrating straight to the soul.

Wherever the light shines, space distorts, time stands still, all things sink into oblivion, and even the void is stained with a deathly gray-black.

After a brief silence, countless fine, spiderweb-like black rays burst forth from the demonic eye, like thousands of chains piercing the sky and enveloping the entire world.

Boom! !
The Three Realms are like a sheet of paper, crumpled into a ball by an unseen hand. The next second, the paper suddenly unfolds and tears into scraps along the folds.

Within the Great Free Heaven, everything was frozen in eternal stillness.

Not only Xiang Yuan, but also the Paranirmitavasavartin who governs all of this.

The eternal stagnation had lasted for countless years, until it finally reached a critical point. The entire Great Free Heaven was swallowed by darkness, and all the stars, mountains and rivers, palaces, temples... everything was swept up in this catastrophe.

The collapse of law and order, the annihilation of existence, manifests as space being torn into fragments, time being disrupted into turbulent flow, and cause and effect being completely erased.

Since the world is gone, there will be no more earth-shattering noises.

In the boundless void, the distorted vortex, like the surging undercurrent of the river of time, swept away fragments of the Great Freedom Heaven, exiling them to unknown lands.

This was the first time Xiang Yuan had encountered the complete destruction of the world and was trapped in the void of the river of time. He spotted a black dot in front of him, moved his body to catch up with it, and opened his five fingers to grasp it in his palm.

The origin of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Freedom Heaven Realm was forcibly self-destructed by the Other Transformation Freedom Heaven, causing the order of its own evolution to collapse. At this moment, it is weak, helpless, and pitiful.

The origin of the Heavenly Dao contains the principles of the Heavenly Dao, representing endless possibilities and an infinite future. Although it is weak now, with proper nurturing, it still has the potential to grow into a towering giant.

Xiang Yuan held the heavy ball of Heavenly Dao Origin in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the origin of the Heavenly Dao remains, the Great Free Heaven will return, and all living beings will have the hope of returning. They will die, but they will not be completely dead.

Whether the extraterrestrial demons are dead or not, or how many times they have died, Xiang Yuan doesn't care. All living beings have suffered so much; a time-lapse must be arranged so that they can be reborn.

If he can't even handle this small matter, what's the point of him being the Heavenly Emperor?

Rumble————

In the long river of time, the giant demonic eye, which had self-destructed half of its body, emerged. A black beam of light shot out from its pupil, condensed into a line, and launched a sneak attack, directly hitting Xiang Yuan, who was trying to save the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

The black light entered Xiang Yuan's body, and when it failed to contaminate him, it corroded his physical body and destroyed his primordial spirit and will.

Still unsuccessful, they resorted to a less desirable method: directly attacking the sea of ​​consciousness where the primordial spirit resided, and completely sealing away Xiang Yuan's primordial spirit.

"Jiejiejiejie————"

The Demon Eye Sun rapidly shrank, reverting to its humanoid form. He transformed into the Free Heaven and sensed for a moment, then, with the Reincarnation Relic he had accumulated throughout his life in his arms, he plunged headlong into the swirling undercurrent not far away.

Before entering, he glanced back at Xiang Yuan, whose eyes were vacant, and laughed loudly: "The cause and effect of this river are chaotic and complicated. Your primordial spirit has been sealed by me. Drifting with the current, you will inevitably be unable to escape the great calamity of reincarnation."

He knew that Xiang Yuan was in a daze and couldn't hear anything.

But he insisted that he had been getting beaten up the whole time, and now that he had finally gained the upper hand, he was determined to regain the face he had lost.

After saying this, the genius Hua Zizai left without looking back.

The moment he was plunged into the vortex, Xiang Yuan, whose eyes had lost their luster, suddenly regained his senses. He grabbed at the air with both hands and whooshed into the portal through which he had left.

The Mysterious Realm.

The Song Dynasty.

On this day, dark clouds rolled across the vast sky, and a streak of black light, a shooting star, streaked across the sky, its tail scattering into countless points of starlight that fell to earth.

As 108 streaks of starlight fell to earth, the black meteor exhausted its last bit of strength and disappeared completely into the world.

A demon star has descended upon the world!

The concept of "demon" is quietly changing the entire Xuanxu Realm. Boundless demonic energy is pervasive, not only altering the laws of heaven and earth in the Xuanxu Realm and causing the entire world to ascend to a higher dimension, but also distorting the appearance of all living beings, causing the human race in this realm to begin to transform towards the direction of the demon race.

The world is undergoing tremendous changes; mortals cannot change their environment, they can only be changed by it.

Years later, another meteor streaked across the sky, arriving a step too late, crashing headfirst into the mountains outside the capital of the Song Dynasty, creating a crater.

"Tokyo……"

"Where did I come from? Now I'm really going abroad..."

"Wait a minute, Kaifeng Prefecture, so this is what Tokyo is like."

"Wait a little longer, Song Dynasty, Tokyo, Kaifeng..."

"???"
