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

Chapter 197 Bloodline Upgrade and Avatar Competition
Faced with the machinations of God Ego through the puppet of destiny, Jing Qian's physical body is collapsing at an extremely rapid pace.

He could clearly sense that this attack, which was impossible to avoid despite being separated by an infinite distance, was fundamentally aimed at the source of his bloodline and the trace of fortune within his title of Duke of Jing.

As for the terrifying calamity before him, Jing Qian had long anticipated it and was certainly not unprepared.

As his greatest enemy since entering the Dao, [Egao Shangdi]'s supernatural powers, methods, and temperament have long been the focus of Jing Qian's constant study.

In his deductions, remote curses based on the title of "Spirit Official" are among the top three possible methods of retaliation by the opponent.

As for involving the Su family bloodline as a tool, that's only natural and there's nothing more to say about it.

The Empress controls the source of the Su clan's bloodline and can almost determine the life and death of all Su clan bloodline cultivators. Jing Qian also foresaw this.

All of this is just a new round of confrontation between Jing Qian and the Empress.

He neither avoids trouble nor is afraid of it!

Despite the Empress's curse, he sat calmly on the leaves of the "good corn" and pulled out a very fresh insect leg from the "void," which he then began to gnaw on.

As he swallowed the high-quality insect meat, a surge of extremely pure life energy was transformed and digested by him.

The [Pangu embryo] hidden in his lower abdomen dantian also awakened from its slumber and began to absorb this life energy.

This miraculous "Destiny" is considered the top-tier ingredient in the "Meat Feast" lineage, capable of transforming primordial energy to generate flesh, organs, skin, and bones.

The newly formed physical tissues can perfectly replicate Jing Qian's original body, allowing him to maintain the harmony and unity of his physical body at all times.

However, if a large amount of resources are invested, it can also evolve into a completely different new form.

This is a fundamental level of bloodline replacement and genetic rewriting.

If it can be done, then for Jing Qian, the original human bloodline can be completely renewed into the Pangu bloodline with greater potential and deeper foundation.

This would naturally be of great benefit to his spiritual practice.

However, this bloodline replacement is not an easy task. Not only does it consume a great deal of resources, but it is also far beyond what Jing Qian can easily accomplish with his own strength at this time to completely eliminate the deeply rooted bloodline.

In his plan, this was a cultivation method he would attempt only after reaching the second rank and obtaining the [Life Stele].

At that time, he can use his power to refine his physical body during the cycle of life and death in order to achieve the goal of renewing his bloodline.

But now, with the Empress's help, the situation is different!

The attack originating from the source of his bloodline is fundamentally destroying Jing Qian's physical vitality, turning his originally vigorous body into a pile of dead, rotten flesh.

Jing Qian will naturally perish and die completely in this process.

Such insidious methods, through his skillful use, were transformed into an asset.

The Empress was using her great magical power to extract Jing Qian's original bloodline and then extinguish it.

In this way, Jingqian only needs to re-evolve the new [Pangu flesh and blood] to easily replace the original flesh and blood.

Even if he did it himself, he couldn't have done it as cleanly and thoroughly as the Empress.

Jingqian felt that his opportunity had arrived again!
Under the long staff of the [Human Form], Jing Qian's body was quickly crushed into a lump of rotten flesh. His life force plummeted, like a candle flickering in the wind, with only a tiny flame left before it was about to completely perish and go out.

But within these fireworks, a mysterious and inexplicable [Pangu embryo] is being vigorously grown.

The first step in the evolution of the new physical body is to develop the digestive system; otherwise, the Pangu embryo will not have an energy supply, which will not work.

Before long, a stomach resembling Pangu quietly appeared, bursting forth with an extremely terrifying vitality.

This stomach was created by Jing Qian using his magical powers; it was naturally formed and has no blood relation to any other being.

It will serve as the foundation for Jing Qian's physical rebirth!
At this moment, his soul was separate from his physical body. Seeing that only his stomach was still alive while the rest of his body was dead was a very unique experience.

At that moment, [Good Corn], who was protecting him, took out a huge piece of the insect demon's heart from the [Void Realm], tore open the pylorus of this new stomach, and stuffed it in.

With digestible food in its large stomach, it instantly began to work.

Without the assistance of other organs, it easily swallowed the insect demon's heart with its own divine power, and then ground it into the purest primordial energy and matter.

With the help of external aids, Jingqian's physical rebirth began to accelerate.

Starting with this large stomach, it gradually evolved new organs and slowly pieced together an increasingly complete body.

From Pangu's stomach, to Pangu's intestines, then to Pangu's liver, Pangu's lungs...

From blood vessels to muscles, then to bones, and finally to body fluids.

Jing Qian's physical body is being gradually reconstructed, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle!

He stuffed a massive amount of insect demon flesh and blood into his stomach and intestines, where he frantically digested it.

The nature of Pangu's bloodline is too unique!
Even though every bite of flesh and blood he consumed was a precious treasure taken from the extremely high-ranking [Moon Goddess].

However, judging solely from the energy conversion efficiency, even if he swallowed the entire body of the [Moon God], it still wouldn't be enough.

If Jing Qian hadn't just acquired the [Insect Nest] and hadn't been so resource-rich, he definitely wouldn't have been able to survive this bloodline reshaping.

Each piece of newly formed Pangu flesh and blood gleamed with a pale golden luster, and what flowed between the meridians was no longer blood, but a concentrated elixir of heaven and earth.

When the heart of Pangu finally beat, the entire body suddenly erupted with a roar like the beginning of chaos.

The Empress's curse power met its natural enemy and was shattered by the rejection of the Pangu bloodline.

Not only that, but the title of Duke of Jing, which was condensed on the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] in his sea of ​​consciousness, also instantly collapsed and was broken into pieces.

A wisp of empress's fortune within him transformed into a wisp of white smoke and drifted out from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Jing Qianxin's five fingers suddenly clenched, completely crushing the remaining white smoke of fortune.

From then on, he successfully escaped the Empress's revenge and got away safely. As [Chunyangzi], he broke through another tribulation.

This body, forged with the power of the Empress and fueled by the insect demons, finally broke free from the last shackles of human blood and manifested in the human world.

The Su family and the Jing family are all things of the past!

From this day forward, Jing Qian is the one and only [Pangu] in this world!
He looked down at his palm, where faint starlight flowed beneath his skin. The speed of his internal magical power flow increased tenfold, the strength of his divine sense increased a hundredfold, and the hardness of his physical body increased a thousandfold.

At this moment, this body is no longer a mortal flesh and blood, but a divine embryo containing the power to create the world.

The Empress's deadly move ultimately became another stepping stone for him to ascend to godhood.

As soon as the new body was formed, Jing Qian felt an indescribable hunger suddenly appear!

From the perspective of physical evolution, the Pangu body he transformed into has the highest potential in this world.

However, maintaining such a strong physique is by no means an easy task.

He strengthened his physical body a thousandfold, and his thirst for matter and vital energy was virtually limitless!

He didn't move an inch, remaining seated on [Good Corn], and retrieved the flesh and blood of the insect demon from the [Void Realm], devouring it greedily.

They had assumed that the corpses of these insect demons were an inexhaustible and vast resource.

Looking back now, it was just enough food for a few years!

Jing Qian clearly realized the seriousness of the problem!
He used the supermodel's body created by the Empress, which is clearly a crossover version.

Even its existing resource system is struggling to support its normal evolution.

He absolutely needs to be promoted to [Star-Picking] as soon as possible!

Only by relying on the [Destiny Star] to truly open the pathway of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] and allow [Immortal Spiritual Qi] to be generated naturally can the consumption of Pangu's body be sustained.

……

Inside the Golden Palace, the Empress's face was ashen; the young girl was furious!

Before her, the [Qi Luck Puppet] had completely shattered, turning into a stinking mass of rotten flesh, which covered the floor of this clean and fragrant palace.

Upon closer inspection, the lump of rotten flesh, though crooked and twisted, actually formed a unique seal script character:
"vegetable!"

This is Jing Qian's powerful counterattack, a direct and decisive blow!
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, any fools who dared to mock the Empress died tragically.

I think Jing Qian is tired of living.

Just then, the Ghost Appearance inexplicably appeared in the Human Appearance's palace and walked up to the pile of rotten flesh.

She stretched out her slender fingers, pinched a bit of flesh, brought it to her nose, smelled it carefully, and then, without being disgusted by the dirt, licked it with the tip of her tongue.

Only then, under the astonished gaze of the [Human Appearance], did she speak:
"Little sister, this kid's bloodline is quite something!"

"In the entire Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe, there is no bloodline of higher level than this, which is perfectly suited to our cultivation needs."

"You're probably finally going to give birth to a divine child!"

"There is hope for our progress on the path!"

[Personal Appearance] Disdain is practically radiating from his face, giving off a stubborn "I won't listen, I won't listen" vibe.

The system of the "Boundless Heavenly Dynasty" established by the female emperor, the "Goddess of the Netherworld," who followed the path of destiny and established the divine dynasty, has always been missing a crucial link.

That is, the prestige of the entire Celestial Empire rests entirely on her, yet she has no descendants to inherit her fortune and glory.

Her cultivation was exceptionally high, and her realm was profound. Even without children, she was able to advance her cultivation all the way to the first rank.

However, for a person to die without an heir, it also means that their fortune and lineage are incomplete, lacking a crucial link, making it impossible for them to achieve fulfillment.

For the Empress to attain enlightenment, she must give birth to a divine child.

However, given her high level of cultivation, it would be virtually impossible for her to conceive without an equivalent bloodline power.

If the seed is of poor quality, it will probably turn to ashes as soon as it enters the Empress's body.

Even if you find some powerful demons or monsters with strong vitality to give birth to a hybrid divine child, you can barely make up the missing link.

However, for a supremely proud and arrogant genius like [Goddess Ego], it was completely unacceptable to have a divine child who was not strong enough.

Therefore, the "human figure" responsible for giving birth to the divine child has not had close contact with any male creature for many years.

Even today, the mysterious appearance of Pangu's bloodline in this universe has shown the Empress new possibilities.

Jing Qian's newborn body perfectly matches the Empress's aesthetic standards!
Then [Ghost Appearance] spoke again:
"In the end, we still have to rely on the [Yanfu] meat banquet lineage. This kid's bloodline quality is even stronger than [Wuyan]'s!"

"Little sister, let's choose him. I'll call the other sisters to come and take a look as well."

However, the [Human Appearance] completely disagreed, retorting:
"I've made an enemy of this kid, I'm not marrying him!"

"We certainly won't have his children!" "We've gone to such great lengths to subdue his [human form]."

"If I refine that human body, I can obtain a divine child with the bloodline of the Yama."

"He's definitely much stronger than this kid!"

[Ghost Appearance] chuckled softly, but did not reply, instead waiting silently.

Before long, the Celestial Appearance, the Earthly Appearance, and the Divine Appearance arrived together, all of them like the Ghost Appearance, carefully examining the flesh and blood beneath their feet.

Ultimately, the three incarnations reached the same conclusion as the [Ghost Appearance].

If there can only be one divine child, this bloodline must be used as the means of inheritance.

Other bloodlines are not even worthy of trying to extort money.

……

After Jing Qian's bloodline underwent a tremendous upgrade, the person who changed the most was not anyone else, but the incarnation of the "Feast God" far away in the "Treasure Bottle Seal Universe".

This incarnation, contained within the [Bosa Divine Sphere], was originally healing the terrifying injuries caused by the Empress's [Five Emperors Divine Light].

The [Bosa Godhead] also harbored ill intentions, taking advantage of this time to try and torment the [Banquet God], attempting to introduce a unique [Immortal Qi] into the [Banquet God]'s sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the last remaining trace of the [Lord of the Sacred World], and it is attempting to resurrect itself by possessing the body of the [God of Feasts].

The two sides were already locked in a stalemate, and Jing Qian's main body was unable to come to the rescue for the time being due to the matter of the [Yanfu] incarnation.

But after he completed the bloodline replacement and physical evolution, the [Feast God], which was born from his flesh and blood, also changed accordingly.

Its very foundation has changed; its very essence is rapidly transforming into that of Pangu.

The cultivation level of [Yan Shen] was already much higher than that of Jing Qian's original body. When it achieved the Pangu body, the resulting increase in strength was even more exaggerated.

Suddenly, the [Feast God], which was sealed within a huge pink diamond, opened its eyes. Then, its body trembled, and a tremendous force emanated, actually cracking the divine core.

It used both hands to pull along the gap, completely freeing itself.

Then, he slapped a butterfly that had flown out of the divine essence to death.

Then, it squatted down beside the divine object and swallowed all the shattered pink diamonds into its mouth, chewing and swallowing them!

……

Within the [Star Insect Orbit], more than two hundred [Star God] eggs, like stars hanging high in the sky, stand still.

The many large insects inside are all silently sleeping and will not be born so soon.

The evolution of an ordinary [Star God] would take at least several hundred or even a thousand years.

At that very moment, one of the two hundred insect eggs suddenly trembled.

A tiny, crystal-clear spider, as smooth as jade, emerged from the egg.

The spider was only the size of a palm. Placed on an insect egg the size of an asteroid, it was as small as a speck of dust and completely inconspicuous.

Looking through the hole it drilled into the egg, one could see a huge [Star God] embryo, its magical essence completely devoured!

However, the little spider was not satisfied and turned to float towards another huge egg.

Needless to say, this little spider is naturally the resurrected form of the [Insect Queen].

As a dignified first-rank demon, even if he lost the power of [Time Sequence], it would be no problem for him to survive.

Following the connection of its bloodline, it successfully returned from the [Mountain of Immortal Qi] to the [Star Insect Orbit] and was reborn with the help of the [Star God].

These two hundred or so stones in front of it are enough for it to restore its strength to the first rank.

And it was naturally unaware that its own grotto had completely changed its location.

Even the actions of the [Insect Mother] have been detected by Jing Qian, who is constantly monitoring the changes in the [Star God].

……

Before Jing Qian discovered the existence of the [Insect Mother], he was reveling in the changes to his physical body.

Through his physical advancement, he completely eliminated the schemes of [God of Gautama], and for a time he was in excellent condition.

He carefully felt the changes in his body and realized that everything was different.

Ever since he awakened the [Pangu Embryo], he had been looking forward to this day.

He never expected that this day would come so soon.

The new physical body is worlds apart from the true creator of the world, Pangu; at most, it can only contain the essence of a few of his cells.

But for Jing Qian, this is already a huge improvement in all aspects.

Moreover, as long as there is sufficient material and energy replenishment, his physical strength can continue to increase rapidly.

This kind of improvement is a kind of strengthening that is completely independent of the cultivation realm, just like achieving enlightenment through strength and becoming a saint through physical body.

However, Jingqian felt considerable pressure, simply because feeding himself was already an extremely difficult task.

Without the replenishment of vital energy after advancing to the [Star-Picking] stage, it would be difficult to maintain this state.

In his heart, he silently optimized his cultivation path, taking the improvement of his physical body as an important part.

Just as he was making his calculations, the appearance of the [Mother Insect] drew his attention away from the battle in front of him and towards the [Star Insect Orbit].

He had already sealed this grotto-heaven within the [Sumeru] dimension.

This was a very important gain for him in [Insect Nest Sky].

Although the [Insect Mother] has quietly revived, it has no chance of escaping Jing Qian's suppression.

However, upon seeing the figure of the [Insect Mother], Jing Qian immediately realized what was happening.

The opponent definitely has a secret passage leading directly to their own insect nest on the [Immortal Qi Mountain].

It should be noted that before the [Insect Queen] perished, she was trapped and beaten to death by many powerful cultivators.

Surrounded by the enemy, it had no chance of escaping even a trace of its primordial spirit.

Its ability to survive and revive after disintegrating the power of [Time] must possess a unique method.

Jing Qian felt that he had a chance to use connections to get in!
He patted the "good corn" and sent it into the "star worm orbit".

After arriving at this grotto, [Good Corn] made no attempt to conceal its magical aura.

It rode a beam of light and headed straight for the location of the [Insect Mother]'s incarnation.

It should be noted that [Good Corn] possesses the innate title of [Soul Manipulation Skill].

Its magical cultivation is deeply intertwined with the creatures it controls.

Currently, it already possesses two great spiritual powers, the Ghost Phoenix and Ao Hua, which greatly aid its cultivation.

And good corn is the perfect material for handling insect mothers.

The way the [Insect Mother] devours the essence of the [Star God] embryo to restore itself is like the most terrifying parasite, with astonishingly high efficiency.

When it crawled out another [Star God] embryo, preparing to change its target again.

The "Good Corn" suddenly appeared in the cold void of the "Star Insect Orbit," lying between the jade-colored spider and the next insect egg.

Before the [Insect Mother] could offer any resistance, the enormous corn leaf pressed down like a canopy, and the [Soul Manipulation Mechanism] magic flowing on it shone brightly, forming an invisible chain of souls that instantly wrapped around the jade-colored spider.

The Spider Queen has been driven into a corner!
Suddenly, the eight compound eyes burst forth with a frenzied light, transforming into a jade-colored streak of light that flew out of the cave.

However, the [Star Worm Orbit], which it could normally enter and exit at will, seemed to have been erected as an impenetrable wall, leaving it completely bewildered.

Subsequently, the corn leaves successfully caught up and enveloped the little spider.

The resurrected [Mother Insect], without much trouble, fell into the clutches of [Good Corn].

Its bad luck continues to have a significant effect.

……

After finishing with the transformation of the Insect Mother, Good Corn took it to the Immortal Qi Mountain and stood beside Jing Qian.

Suddenly, a slender little spider appeared to be crawling on the corn seedling.

The struggle for [Time Sequence] remains fierce, but the [Insect Queen] has returned to the battlefield under a different identity.

However, the last time it came here, it was an arrogant and powerful demon of the first rank.

At this point, he fell to the fourth rank of "Star Picking," not only suffering a severe loss of magical power and supernatural abilities, but also completely losing his freedom.

Jing Qian wasted no time and went straight to asking the question:

"Little spider, do you have a method to bypass the many powerful cultivators and directly ascend to the [Insect Nest] imagery?"

"I need to subdue that [Hungry Ghost] form, and I would appreciate your advice, Little Spider."

At this moment, the reincarnation of the [Insect Mother] has completely become a puppet of [Good Corn].

When Jing Qian asked it, it answered directly:
"Young master is quite clever; he actually managed to see through my flaw!"

"If you're not afraid of death, you can try experiencing it for yourself."

Looking at the actions of the [Insect Mother], it directly tore open a unique void rift in the wall between Jing Qian and [Good Corn].

The crack was narrow, only about the width of a palm.

Jing Qian looked closely through the void rift and saw a unique thread deep within the insect nest of the Immortal Qi Mountain, tied to a life stele.

On that [Life Stele], it is clearly written:
"【The True Dragon Demon Prison God Lord Who Weaves a Web】!"

This is precisely where the [Mother Insect]'s fundamental [Nine-Character Life Stele] lies!
Through the entanglement between the [Insect Mother] and the [Life Stele], Jing Qian can truly project his own power into the [Insect Nest].

He couldn't help but become extremely excited!
Having guarded this battlefield for so long, they have finally found a chance to intervene.

Without hesitation, he pulled out his [True Illusion Immortal Sword Embryo], and from his divine eye, he took out a tight line of causal fishing.

Then, he swung a rod into the small hole created by the [Insect Mother] avatar.

This time, he will use his precise fishing skills to catch the sealed [Hungry Ghost Body]!
