Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 132 Shangxi's Magical Sword Sheath, Pin'er's Highlight of Life

With the new [Destiny Star], there was a new opportunity for advancement. Shang Xi was naturally very decisive and immediately began to try to guide the [Sword Box] to connect with the [Destiny Star] provided by [Starry Sky Kui Mountain].

With his accumulated knowledge, condensing [Immortal Spiritual Energy] would be effortless; as long as the spiritual energy aligns with his [Destiny Star], it would be the time to achieve enlightenment.

The seven stars accumulated by [Starry Sky Kui Mountain] occupy the position of the Big Dipper in the high sky, and are connected to each other. If there were no formation to cover them, they would immediately become extremely conspicuous.

Of the four great demons on the battlefield, apart from Lingling, they immediately spotted the [Destiny Star] in the sky and directly attacked those stars!
Preventing Chunyangzi from attaining enlightenment is the highest priority task for these second-rank demons!

【Hanba】, 【Huodou】, 【Suanni】, and 【Gale】 each unleashed a powerful burst of magic, locking onto a 【main star】 and attacking it.

Of the seven stars that had just begun to appear, four were blasted apart in the first round.

Beside Jing Qian, Dou Zong broke through his defenses and stared blankly.

His original intention was to do Chunyangzi a great favor with the mindset of turning the tide, but he completely underestimated the evolution of the situation and was too reckless.

Shang Xi's [Immortal Spiritual Qi] had not yet been condensed, yet the Dou Zong directly exposed his own Star, undoubtedly revealing his most important trump card ahead of time, causing the situation to slip further.

This great calamity began with Shang Xi's advancement. The current situation is interconnected. If he fails to advance, it will be a huge problem for the [Yingfutu Realm]!

Suddenly, Shang Xi stood up and said to Jing Qian beside him:

"Chixiao, can you send me up there? I want to guard the [Destiny Star] myself!"

Jing Qian's expression was serious as he unleashed the full power of his Three Lives Eye, performing a crucial deduction!
Before today, he certainly wouldn't have been able to deliver a teleportation over a distance of hundreds of millions of miles.

However, after devouring the Blood Pool Cave Heaven and enabling the Void Realm to complete a crucial advancement, things took a fundamental turn!

"Master! Why not give it a try!"

After saying that, he stood up and stood next to Shang Xi, gently placing his right hand on his body.

Then, Jing Qian closed his eyes and silently sensed, connecting with all the spatial power within his body, and frantically squeezed out all his magical power.

More than 20,000 [Blue Blood Life Essence] were devoured by the [Sumeru] Heavenly Mandate in an instant, and an extremely pure Dao essence suddenly enveloped Shang Xi!

This elderly man, who had never traveled far from home or left his domain in his entire life, was actually flung away by his beloved disciple for a full 500 million miles, landing in front of a giant Destiny Star.

But Shang Xi had no time to calm down. He had barely shown his figure when he immediately unleashed a full-force sword strike!
The Great Micro Sword, carrying unparalleled sword energy, was as powerful as a dragon and as fierce as thunder. It struck a fierce beam of magical energy with a single strike.

At the same time, not far from him, two other [Destiny Stars] had also been blasted apart by the great demon's magic!

It’s too thrilling!

If Shang Xi had arrived a few seconds later, this last [Destiny Star] would have been completely shattered.

He managed to secure his promotion at the last minute!

It's a pity that the [Starry Sky Mountain], after accumulating for thousands of years, finally managed to gather seven [main stars] as the foundation of the sect, but it was all gone in an instant.

At this point, six of the seven stars had already disappeared, leaving only one star, which was being protected by Shang Xi with his sword.

However, once the target was focused, the great demons had no more reservations and immediately locked their attention on Shang Xi.

The fact that the yet-to-be-advanced [Chunyangzi] has personally appeared means that whether it's killing Shangxi or shattering the stars, the problem can be solved.

As soon as the four great demons spotted an opening, they would either fire simultaneously or in turns, unleashing massive amounts of magical power and spiritual light to attack Shangxi.

No matter how much magic power the great demon unleashed, a sword light would always shatter it.

Shang Xi, wielding two swords, single-handedly withstood the onslaught of four second-rank demons, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage!

The brilliance of Chunyangzi was revealed to the world for the first time.

Within the [Yingfutu Realm], cultivators at the [Fuling] level and above are capable of seeing through the boundary membrane and glimpsing the heroic figure of Shangxi Shouxing.

The sight of a fifth-grade [Earthly Fiend] cultivator fighting against a second-grade great demon is undoubtedly a bizarre phenomenon that completely overturns many people's worldview.

Daozi's brilliance has been hidden in the Yingfutu Realm for three thousand years. The cultivators who have witnessed Daozi's brilliance are now extremely rare, dating back dozens of generations.

From this day forward, the legend of Daozi has taken on a new form. Shangxi's figure will be deeply etched in the hearts of this generation of cultivators and will be widely circulated.

……

In the Northern Pass of the Divine Dynasty, at the Su family mansion, Su Min'er was accompanying her ancestor, using his magical power to observe the battle beyond the heavens.

Strictly speaking, this is also a major battle concerning the life and death of everyone!
Therefore, her expression was extremely serious, and she remained silent.

General Su Zhao, who was standing nearby, saw that his little granddaughter was quite nervous, so he said to comfort her:

“Min’er, don’t panic. Even if Ying’s family falls, I can still get you out of danger.”

"It's good that this [Yingfu Pagoda Realm] has really collapsed. I'll take you back to your hometown, let you recognize your ancestors, and change your innate talents..."

Behind the grandmother and grandson was a small dog that had fully recovered from its injuries, and a small pony that it was riding.

But then the little horse quietly asked:
Where did the donkey go?

"It ran away in fright long ago. Don't let its usual arrogant demeanor fool you; it was terrified when it saw this great cultivator in battle."

The puppy complained like this.

……

Outside the Pure Yang Cave, Jing Qian lay slumped on the ground, looking weak and exhausted.

The long-range teleportation had completely drained his magical power, leaving him utterly exhausted. He was now working hard to recover his magical power.

Just then, a white light flew in from within the realm, and it was the old white ox arriving, panting heavily.

It was originally seeking peace and quiet in Beishangguan, but it never expected that its two good family members, Shangxi and Chixiao, would put on such a wonderful show for it.

Although Shangxi has withstood the enemy's continuous attacks, he cannot hold out for long; who knows when he might make a mistake?

Faced with the fierce attack of a second-grade demon, a single mistake would be irreversible.

The old white ox had completely abandoned any thought of seeking peace and quiet, and it spoke:
"Young Master Chixiao, is it possible that I'll be sent up as well?"

"Old Niu's desperate attack should be enough to severely injure a second-grade demon."

“Master Shangxi cannot withstand the enemy’s repeated attacks indefinitely. The consumption of his magical power is beyond his capacity. There must be a way to break this deadlock.”

"I've been clinging to life for so many years, if I could exchange it for a second-grade demon, it would be worth it."

Jing Qian shook his head and said:
"Master Niu, let alone that it's not your turn to pay with your life, even if it were, I wouldn't be able to withstand the drain on my magical power."

Jing Qian's promotion period was too short; more than 20,000 [Blue Blood Life Essence] cannot be recovered in a short time.

Upon hearing this, the old white ox immediately said:

"Restoring mana is not a problem!"

"Old Niu has accumulated quite a few [Sword Lotus Roots], all of which are for the young master to use."

"The second and subsequent [Sword Lotus] roots, although they don't increase cultivation level much, recover mana quickly."

After saying that, the old white ox actually pulled out twelve or thirteen sections of pure white, jade-like lotus root.

Jing Qian never expected that the old ox would have such a good thing. He didn't stand on ceremony and took it all. He then took a section and swallowed it in no time.

Immediately, a surge of powerful primordial energy erupted from the lotus root, transforming into his [Life Essence] magic power.

In just a few breaths, his magical power was fully restored.

However, the maximum mana still increased steadily by a thousand, less than one-tenth of the effect of the first section.

However, Jing Qian did not send the old ox up to its death. Instead, he took three sections of "Sword Lotus Root" and threw them directly to Shang Xi's mouth.

Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

……

Shang Xi unleashed a series of sword strikes, severing the second-grade magic power. The pressure was immense, and his magic power was already at its limit.

This section of [Sword Lotus Root] is crucial, and it has arrived at just the right time!
He swallowed the [Sword Lotus] in one gulp, which greatly restored his mana. He felt reassured and was able to continue fighting against the enemy.

Shang Xi, alone, had already forcefully annihilated thirty-four second-grade magical powers, firmly guarding his only [Main Star], awaiting the final condensation of [Immortal Spiritual Energy].

His mind was now as still as water, devoid of any ripples, leaving only the obsession with advancement and the unwavering belief in killing these four great demons.

Meanwhile, within the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi, the Mysterious Sword Box pressed forward relentlessly, breaking through the three thousand layers of primordial energy, one by one.

Each time a level is broken through, the [Sword Box] undergoes a tempering process, gaining an additional layer of elemental energy attributes.

What's most peculiar is that the tempering process in this [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] is not subtraction, but addition!

With each level cleared, the nascent [Immortal Spiritual Energy] gains more depth.

A single strand of [Immortal Spiritual Energy] must pass through at least ten levels before it can be fully formed.

The higher the level, the stronger the foundation of [Immortal Spiritual Energy], which is of great significance for cultivation at the third or even second rank.

In this respect, Shangxi has a unique advantage.

His sword box was filled with the spiritual energy of the Heavenly River Tu Yuan Immortal from Wu Zhiqi.

When the Sword Box entered the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi, the Celestial Qi of the Heavenly River spontaneously combusted, carrying the Sword Box through the forty-two layers of the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi.

The [Immortal Spiritual Energy] of a high-grade cultivator is the best catalyst for a fifth-grade cultivator to advance to the [Star Picking] stage and condense their first [Immortal Spiritual Energy].

Among top-tier lineages, promising disciples of the Earthly Fiends lineage receive a wisp of Immortal Spiritual Energy from a powerful senior, which greatly benefits them during their advancement, allowing them to break through several more layers of Yuan Qi.

Even the most generous senior could not possibly pass on all of his magical power to Shangxi without reservation, like Wuzhiqi.

The forty-two floors he got for free brought his spiritual energy quality to a whole new level!

When the [Xiwei Sword Box] began to advance through the levels on its own, its progress was unstoppable.

It actually broke through a full 107 layers of the three thousand layers of primordial energy in the 【Sea of ​​Primordial Qi】!

The final achievement, the [Yin Yang Two Elements Hollow Immortal Spiritual Qi], far surpasses the power of the [Pure Yang One Fiend Sword Lotus Immortal Spiritual Qi] passed down through the Pure Yang secret tradition, reaching yet another level!
Although there is no essential difference between the [Immortal Spiritual Energy], there are different levels of its rank.

This ranking is based on the number of layers of the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi that one has cleared using [Immortal Spiritual Qi].

Below the tenth level, it can only be called "pseudo-immortal spiritual energy" and cannot be considered truly formed.

Above the tenth level but before the hundredth, it can be called "Minor Immortal Spiritual Energy," which is possessed by ordinary "Star-Picking" cultivators.

Once the [Immortal Spiritual Energy] has passed through a hundred levels, it is called [Golden Immortal Spiritual Energy], just like Shang Xi's [Yin Yang Two Elements Hollow Immortal Spiritual Energy] at this moment.

[Golden Immortal Spiritual Energy] is also one of the prerequisites for cultivators to advance to the third rank [Mending Heaven] or even the second rank of cultivation.

If the [Golden Immortal Spiritual Energy] continues to improve until it breaks through a full thousand levels, then the [Immortal Spiritual Energy] at this point can already be called [Immortal Qi].

This is a realm of magical power that only a very few exceptionally talented cultivators can glimpse. Even Wuzhiqi's Heavenly River Immortal Spiritual Qi has not broken through a thousand layers.

After three thousand years of accumulation and one hundred and seven layers of primordial energy tempering, Shangxi finally condensed seven strands of [Golden Immortal Spiritual Energy], reaching its own limit and forging an unparalleled foundation!
The [Xiwei Sword Box], carrying seven [Yin Yang Qi Two Elements Hollow Immortal Spirit Qi], finally leaped out of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] and landed on the [Main Star].

Immediately afterwards, Da Xing, who was previously in contact with Shang Xi, sensed it!

With a wave of his hand, his natal sword box returned to his sea of ​​consciousness. Immortal spiritual energy entered his body, and Shang Xi's cultivation level skyrocketed!

From this point on, he had completed 90% of the [Star-Picking] advancement process.

He only needs to wait quietly for the [Destiny Star] beneath his feet to react and resonate with the [Immortal Spiritual Energy] in his sea of ​​consciousness. In no more than a quarter of an hour, he can complete the final advancement.

"Hiss...drink..."

A long, leisurely sigh escaped from Shang Xi's mouth.

The calamity of being consumed by evil fire that had plagued him for three thousand years was finally over!

The [Immortal Spiritual Energy] entered his body, like a gentle spring rain, pouring onto his dry and cracked flesh. Boundless life force was created out of nothing and began to nourish his body.

In the blink of an eye, Shangxi was rejuvenated, transforming from a frail old man into a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth.

And look at his handsome face, he is even more handsome than Jing Qian.

More importantly, his eyes were no longer dry and withered, but became crystal clear again.

His Dao Heart injuries were also completely healed with the nourishment of the [Immortal Spiritual Energy].

At this moment, Shangxi is truly the complete seed of the Great Dao, the son of the Dao lineage.

"Boom!"

The deep, yet surging heartbeat of a lifetime emanated from the [Main Star] and echoed within Shang Xi's sea of ​​consciousness.

The final resonance has begun!

Before Daxing, Shangxi's momentum continued to rise.

The sword in his hand became even sharper, and with a casual strike, he could easily shatter second-grade magic power.

The turning point in this great battle has finally arrived.

This is the last window to stop Shang Xichengdao. If the attempt to stop him fails, one of these great demons may never return!

The drought demon, who was locked in fierce combat with the current human emperor, looked up at the sky and suddenly spoke:
"Lingling, if you continue to shirk your duties, you'll ruin your own future!"

"I'm not playing with you anymore. I'll let you see for yourself what kind of miraculous effects a truly successfully forged [Mountain of Corpses] can have."

As he spoke, [Hanba] raised his hand and pointed, and a gray, low mountain suddenly appeared in the sky, densely packed with all sorts of strange zombies.

From the lowest three ranks of "hairy zombies" and "iron zombies," to the middle three ranks of "golden corpses" and "flying zombies," and then to the two third-rank "yakshas" and "zombie gods," it has everything.

As soon as the [Mountain of Corpses] appeared, four strange magical powers descended instantly, enveloping [Hanba], [Huodou], [Gale], and [Suanni].

This is the power from the source of zombies, which can make the four great demons' bodies like zombies, granting them the divine power of immortality.

The four powerful demons instantly abandoned their own safety, no longer dodging or defending, and actually withstood the enemy's magical bombardment, as if they were frantically sacrificing their lives.

The injuries inflicted on the great demon by magical attacks of the same level were completely healed under the blessing of the [Mountain of Corpses], leaving no trace whatsoever.

As a result, the four battlefields underwent drastic changes.

The second-rank combat power of the [Yingfutu Realm] was already relatively weaker, and now that the enemy has become immortal and more aggressive, they have fallen into a complete disadvantage.

Especially Yingkun and the Kitchen God, two second-rank officials who had been forced to rely on external forces, were being beaten back step by step.

Just then, a fierce sword light erupted at the highest point of the sky, five hundred million miles above, and struck [Huodou] with a single strike.

This second-rank great demon was actually beheaded with a single sword strike!
Even with the blessing of the [Mountain of Corpses], it was in a daze for a while before it recovered, and the [Kitchen God] also breathed a sigh of relief as a result.

Needless to say, it was Shangxi who made the move!
Driven by the spiritual energy of a Golden Immortal, Shangxi's swordsmanship has soared to an unbelievable level!
With a single sword strike, he completely suppressed the aura of ten second-rank experts, instantly becoming the most dazzling person in the entire arena.

This was just the beginning of Upper Greece's involvement in the war!
From the very first sword strike, boundless sword energy rained down, enveloping the entire battlefield; each strike possessed the power of a second-grade sword.

For a time, all four great demons were suppressed. If it weren't for the [Corpse Mountain] suppressing them, the situation would have been completely reversed.

Right now, the [Destiny Star] is pounding like a heartbeat, and its connection with him is becoming increasingly smooth. The core of the [Destiny Star] can draw energy from the 107 layers of the Yuan Qi Sea, and the vast and boundless Yuan Qi pours out, transforming into his [Yin Yang Chaos Immortal Spiritual Energy]. Then, with the sword strike, it explodes and frantically slashes at various battlefields.

Shangxi seemed to transform into a giant artillery platform, achieving firepower suppression against the four great demons with his fourth-rank [Star Picker] level.

Although both are Pure Yang sword cultivators, Shang Xi's fighting style is vastly different from Jing Qian's.

Jing Qian pursues the celestial being who descends from the heavens, invisible and traceless, and kills with a single, decisive blow!

Shangxi, however, pursued unparalleled strength and ferocity, wielding his sword and standing on horseback, a lone warrior holding off the enemy!
This was Shangxi's suppressed fighting spirit of three thousand years being released wildly; for him, nothing was more exhilarating than this.

But just then, a small figure suddenly appeared behind him, gently hugging Shangxi's neck and lightly biting his ear.

Looking at the figure again, there were countless blood vessels, which were wrapped around his body through Shang Xi's [Great Micro Sword].

Lingling appeared out of nowhere, speaking gently:

"Brother Shangxi, I am destined to be your last tribulation."

"Please help me take back the Mountain of Corpses, I'm begging you!"

For a moment, under the control of the blood threads, Shangxi involuntarily changed the direction of the sword light, pouring boundless sword light into the [mountain of corpses].

The zombies atop the "Mountain of Corpses" were no match for the intensity of the sword light and were wiped out in an instant.

Even though these zombies are still rapidly resurrecting, the aftershocks of Shangxi's sword light crisscross the [Mountain of Corpses], and even the resurrected zombies cannot escape the fate of dying again.

Seeing a glimmer of opportunity, Lingling released her embrace of Shangxi and prepared to flee towards the [Mountain of Corpses]. However, to her surprise, Shangxi, whom she had completely controlled, suddenly grabbed her small hand and pulled her back to where she was.

Then, Shangxi handed the Great Micro Sword to Lingling, saying:

“Lingling, you shall cultivate with me. I have already broken through the barriers and reshaped my path, which is no disgrace to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the countless blood threads that had been entangled from the Great Micro Sword turned around and completely enveloped Lingling.

Then, the sword and the yaksha actually achieved a deep fusion!
"Shangxi, you tricked me again!"

The girl wept blood, but it was too late to save her. From that day forward, the world would never again see the "She-Devil," only a peerless and wondrous sword treasure remained.

【Lingji - Yaksha Sword Sheath - Lingling】

[Rank: Second Grade]

[Subjugation Requirement: Master of the Greatsword]

Shang Xi had just completed his advancement when he obtained another top-tier treasure. The sword light in his hand was enhanced by the scabbard, and its power soared. When he slashed down again, it was even more unstoppable.

Even with the support of the [Mountain of Corpses], the remaining four great demons were completely unable to turn the tide of the battle.

All that could be heard was the roar of the Suanni:
"Ah Huo, why are you still hesitating! Why don't you come and guide the temple master here!"

The Drought Demon, who was being ravaged by the sword light, gritted its teeth and finally revealed its last trump card.

Above the "Mountain of Corpses," a cave suddenly split open, revealing a unique corpse without a face or features.

The corpse awoke to the wind, suddenly transforming into a handsome, living person with intelligent and magical powers. It was none other than the true master of the [Demon Ancient Lin Hai] realm, the [Ancient Lin] with the cultivation of the third rank [Mending Heaven].

He used his own essence and blood to preserve a corpse on the [Mountain of Corpses], which carried a wisp of his [Immortal Qi] and was then transformed into a physical form.

After waking up, Gu Lin did not utter a word. He flew out from the mountain of corpses and unleashed three powerful punches.

The first punch landed on the Kitchen God, shattering the Kitchen Fire that had been channeled into him.

[Zhang Dun] was covered in blood, his cultivation level dropped back to the third rank, and he fell into the realm.

The second punch landed on the [Heavenly Gang Tower], killing Huang Yan, the lowest-ranked of the four guardians, with a single blow. The tower also fell from the second rank.

The third punch was aimed at Shang Xi, determined to kill this biggest variable affecting the battle with a single blow.

But Shang Xi refused to give an inch, unleashing the Great Micro Sword and the Two Elements Annihilation Sword in alternating strikes, unleashing ten sword strikes in the blink of an eye, completely wiping out Gu Lin's punch.

Then, he launched a full-scale counterattack, unleashing boundless sword light at the [Gu Lin] avatar.

The avatar of [Gu Lin] threw three punches, nearly killing his own avatar. Fortunately, with the blessing of [Corpse Mountain], he was successfully resurrected, raised his iron fist, and attacked Shang Xi.

Although Gu Lin is only a third-rank cultivator, he possesses a superior-rank title and single-handedly suppressed the Demon Sea, transforming one of the Seven Immortal Seas of the Northern Heaven into the Demon Gu Lin Sea, demonstrating his terrifying combat power.

In terms of lineage and status, he is in no way inferior to the descendants of the Dao Lord, and is a demon clan member of the same status as the Pure Yang Master, known as the Blood Pearl.

Right now, relying on the supernatural power of the [Corpse Mountain], he has transformed himself from afar and for a time managed to fight Shang Xi to a standstill.

However, the battles in the other areas have completely collapsed!

[Tian Gang Tower] and [Zao Wang Shop] have withdrawn from the battle, and now [Han Ba], [Huo Dou], [Lie Feng] and [Suan Ni] are locked in a battle against [Wu Chang Gui Di], the Fisherman and Ying Kun.

With four against three, the scales of victory finally tipped in favor of [Yao Gu Lin Hai].

But a turning point in the battle was brewing.

……

This "Mountain of Corpses" is extremely mysterious, a top-tier divine object that manipulates the power of flesh and blood.

Even though the zombies on it had been cleared away by Shang Xi, its existence made the powerful demons virtually invincible.

Currently, all the powerful beings capable of threatening the [Mountain of Corpses] are engrossed in the battlefield and have no time to spare.

Surprisingly, no one noticed that a thin, slender figure had quietly appeared next to the [mountain of corpses].

Mo Pin'er, who had been wandering in the void for a while, flew shakily to the vicinity of the [Corpse Mountain]. The [Flesh Worm] in her arms was trembling and dared not raise its head.

For such ghostly beings, the oppressive aura emanating from the [Mountain of Corpses] was beyond imagination.

However, driven by a mysterious force, she still gritted her teeth and flew over.

Mo Pin'er was seen holding the [Flesh Worm] in her arms, crying as she said:
"Chongchong, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, but don't worry, I will definitely bring you back to life as soon as possible."

"My lady, you should rest now. Who wants to live such a life of constant fear? Just let me die peacefully."

"That won't do. If you die, who will take the bullet for me next time something like this happens?"

As she spoke, Mo Pin'er was already in position. Without a second's hesitation, she launched the [Flesh Worm] in her hand.

The snow-white, large fleshy worm, like a grenade, fell straight to the top of the [Mountain of Corpses], and just before it hit the summit, it suddenly exploded.

Its fragmented physical body was filled with the power of [Sumeru], carving out void rifts in the sky that led directly to another dimension.

A massive spatial wormhole appeared in the mortal world, completely enveloping this terrifying "mountain of corpses."

Subsequently, the wormhole closed and disappeared, and the [Corpse Mountain] divine object vanished from its original location.

The divine power of immortality it brought also vanished abruptly due to the isolation of space.

The battlefield situation changed drastically in an instant!
The Gu Lin avatar, supported by the Corpse Mountain, collapsed on the spot, and Shang Xi won without a fight.

Without pausing, he turned his sword and slashed down at the [Drought Demon] Fire.
