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

Chapter 217 The Magic Cube Calamity: A Cosmic War
Jing Qian's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be!
Since he advanced to the [Sun Shooting] level and awakened the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi], his combat power has increased like a dump truck with broken brakes, which no one can stop.

Ling Shanzi, who had reincarnated five times and reached the Great Perfection of the Second Grade [Nine-Character Stele], could not even last three steps before Jing Qian and completely perished!

It was clean, efficient, and utterly devastating.

Above the ruins, the intense roars from the remaining two battlefields seemed to pause for a brief moment.

The other two Ling Shanzi, upon catching a glimpse of Huiji turning to ashes, were even more horrified, their eyes wide with horror and their minds reeling.

They unleashed their magical power even more frantically, sweeping it towards the two [Chunyangzi].

Jing Qian ignored the battle between his two fellow disciples. Instead, he clapped his hands, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared.

The God of the Underworld personally leads 100,000 trash-collecting demons to the scene.

Numerous large demons, like locusts, swarmed towards the Lingshan Temple at their feet.

Even though this temple was destroyed by Longquan's sword, what lies buried within it is the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years of management of the Southern Heaven by Lingshan Temple.

Even though the most precious treasures and resources were kept close to the hearts of all the [Ling Shan Zi], the remaining materials were still good for enriching the [Xumi] dimension.

The garbage collectors swept through, leaving not a single brick behind in the entire temple ruins; they dug it all up.

Leaving aside other gains, the scripture pavilion in Lingshan Temple alone greatly enriched Jingqian's library. The million scriptures inside were enough to support a rather powerful Buddhist sect.

After harvesting the Lingshan Temple before him, Jing Qian did not take back the 100,000 giant ghosts, but instead gathered them at his feet.

Then, he opened another huge void rift, and the other end of this rift led directly to [Bei'e Yinghuang Wuji Heaven].

Immediately afterwards, a sizable fleet emerged from the crevice.

Leading the charge was Luo Tian from the Kitchen God Shop, piloting the third-grade Kitchen God Boat.

This is a coalition force composed of various forces within the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm]!
The lineages of 【Zao Wang Dian】, 【Ci Hang Zhai】, 【Yu Hua Men】, 【Chong Xuan Gong】, etc., all have top-ranking cultivators in their fleets.

After they appeared, they nodded to Jing Qian and then set sail on their treasure ship into the depths of the void.

Within the third of the Southern Heaven Realm occupied by the Lingshan Temple, there are numerous Mountain Realms and Sea Realms.

The population of Chunyang Heaven is small, and it is unable to completely eliminate and occupy it.

Thanks to Zhu Yun's prior communication, this allied force has now reached an agreement with Jing Qian to launch an attack on these territories.

A thousand-strong group of junk-collecting monsters also joined the fleet.

According to the agreement between the two parties, they will divide up the spoils of the conquered territory and take away the portion that [Pure Yang Heaven] is entitled to.

This fleet is of mediocre strength; it certainly cannot sweep through all territories on its own. It can only do its best and take as much as it can get.

Immediately following behind, another fleet emerged from the void rift.

Two streaks of light flew out from the treasure ship and landed in front of Jing Qian, bowing to him.

However, they belong to the former imperial family, specifically the uncle and nephew Yingkun and Yinghao.

This guerrilla group, which escaped from the Wuji Celestial Empire, wandered in the void for quite some time.

Fortunately, Yingkun had a stroke of luck and managed to catch the dead skin letter that "sick" had thrown out, which brought a new turning point.

The Ying Clan has a deep connection with the Yanfu Dao, yet they cannot directly travel to the realm where the Heavenly Demon Palace is located.

By sheer chance, I managed to contact Jingqian and temporarily settle under the banner of Lingshan Temple before considering anything else.

Then Yinghao, whose Buddhist name was Sheng Yu, spoke:
"Thank you, Master, for helping my Ying Clan avoid this calamity."

"We now deeply understand this; having a place to settle down and make a living is more important than anything else!"

Jing Qian nodded and said:
"You sacrificed yourselves for the sake of the [Yanfu Dao], so in principle, the sect should provide some compensation."

"However, the situation in the [Yanfu Dao] is special, and there are many things that are beyond our control."

"You may choose any territory within the sphere of influence of the [Lingshan Great Temple]!"

"With the strength and resources of your [Ying Clan], I believe you are more than capable of occupying a prime location."

"You can stay here and relax for now."

"Once this conflict between realms has completely subsided and we've established good relations with the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, you can then decide whether to go to Yanfu or stay here."

The two members of the Ying family bowed again, then turned and sailed away on their treasure ship.

Jing Qian's divine eyes swept across the area and saw at least three second-rank Human Emperors hidden deep within the fleet, slowly sailing away.

The Ying Clan excels at concealing their strength and biding their time. The resources they have hidden within the Ying Clan Ancestral Temple are even stronger than those of the other Ying Futu Realm coalition.

The arrival of the Ying clan here will also serve as a fulcrum for the Chunyang Heaven to manage the Southern Heaven.

The helpers brought in by Chunyangtian were no match for the tree spirit army of Yanfudao; they were better than nothing.

After all, a top-tier exorcist like [Ghost Hair] is virtually invincible in a battle of sheer numbers.

Jing Qian, also a true disciple of the [Exorcism] lineage, could not suppress an entire realm like [Ghost Hair].

However, they also managed to bring out their entire army of ghosts!
Led by three top-tier warriors—the Sacrificial God, the Underworld God, and the Good Corn—the 100,000 Great Ghost Soldiers split into three groups and flew away in different directions from the previous two fleets.

This is the true core tool that the [Yanfu Dao] has used to suppress numerous realms.

The two exorcism masters, 【Ghost Hair】 and No Money, each occupied a piece of southern sky and began to conquer and seize territory.

After dispersing his troops, Jing Qian turned his attention back to the two battles between the Daoists.

With him personally supporting his two fellow disciples, the three [Chunyangzi] disciples were naturally invincible.

Meanwhile, the great battle at the heart of both battlefields had reached its climax.

The battlefields opened up by Jing Qian and his two companions could only be considered localized wars on the periphery.

The truly far-reaching main storyline lies above the [Clock of Time].

When Jing Qian raised his [Eternal Eye of Moment] and looked into the depths of the Dao Realm, he saw the fierce battle between Wu Zhen and [Eyeless] unfolding in full swing.

Whichever of these two goes all the way will achieve the first-rank [Time Sequence] level.

This will also have a profound impact on the upcoming great battle.

Jing Qian naturally hopes that [No Eyes] will achieve the final victory, and he is also studying how he can help [No Eyes].

He then called [Real Corn] to his side and asked:
"Grandmaster Yu, is there any way to help Grandmaster Wuyan defeat that old monk as soon as possible?"

[Real Corn] shook his head and continued:

"Even if there were any methods, my master wouldn't use them."

"He has a nine-lifetime feud with that old monk, and he must personally kill the old monk to clear his mind. You and I will just wait."

"My master is fine. Let's just wait for him to ascend to the [Clock of Time] and welcome him to the first rank!"

[Good Corn] has boundless confidence in [No Eyes].

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian rubbed his hands together and said nothing more.

He wasn't really worried about the outcome of [No Eyes]'s victory or defeat; that was a problem for [No Eyes] to solve.

He simply wasn't satisfied!
Over the past few years, he has spent a long time in seclusion cultivating, and his strength has increased too quickly, causing him to lose his temper and become somewhat reckless.

He unleashed a sword strike and killed Huiji instantly, leaving Huiji without a worthy opponent before he could even react.

With Shangxi and Chimiao locked in a fierce battle with the enemy, he couldn't very well steal the monster's kill.

The remaining survivors all perished under the sword of [Dragon Power].

The [Lingshan Temple] dungeon has been cleared almost immediately.

But it's really too fragile; it's just the betel nut residue chewed up by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

He thought the old monk opposite [the one with no eyes] looked pretty good; he should be able to take a beating.

But after [Good Corn] said that, he couldn't interfere any further and could only observe silently, waiting for the next development in the battle.

……

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Demon Palace, dramatic changes were also taking place!
A terrifyingly large, mangled demonic body crawled out from the depths of the demon palace, waving its seven-fingered demonic hands as if swatting away flies, and slapping at [Life Cheap].

This remains of the Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor are headless and legless, consisting only of a segment from the neck to the lumbar vertebrae.

A vicious sword wound ripped open the chest cavity of the wreckage right in the middle of its chest and abdomen.

All the internal organs of the Demon Ancestor's mutilated body had long since turned to ashes under the sword's strike.

Its already severely damaged body became even more dilapidated, and it was almost unable to move.

If it weren't for the indulgence of [Tianmozi] and the ruthlessness of [Yanfuzi], who sacrificed thousands of ordinary disciples of [Tianmo Palace] to gather a massive amount of compatible magical power and vital energy.

This remnant of the Demon Ancestor would never have been able to attack Yan Fuzi with such vigor as he does now.

In terms of rank, the remnant of the Demon Ancestor is equivalent to the incarnation of the Yama Dao Ancestor.

However, it was too damaged, and most of its Daoist essence and magical power had been lost, making it extremely difficult to use.

For the people of the Heavenly Demon Palace, this mutilated body is quite useless.

However, the moment [Life-Cheap] saw the remains of the great demon, her legs trembled, her body went limp, she was covered in sweat, and she almost gasped out.

She cultivates the [Flesh Feast] lineage, and manipulating flesh and corpses is an instinct etched into her bones.

This remains of the Demon Ancestor are the corpse of a lover from her dreams that she could not find even after searching the entire void!
In the previous episode of "The Six Sons of Yanfu" causing trouble at the Immortal Mountain, only "Life-Saving" failed to snag a "Yanfu" incarnation.

The human form most suited to her was taken away by God Oogway, and it is virtually impossible for her to take it back.

In the dead of night, I dreamt that my life was so cheap that I stomped on my left foot in anger several times.

However, when she was bored, she came to wander around the [Heavenly Demon Palace] and saw the remains of the [Demon Ancestor].

She then realized that the beginning and end of a relationship are all predetermined.

Even without her human form, she still has this powerful demonic body of equal quality waiting for her!
In fact, for his cultivation, this broken body is even more useful!
She already considered the remains of the Demon Ancestor as her own possession and was determined to take him down!
Now, all of [Life-Cheap]'s hands and feet have arrived, and this bunch of hands and feet have formed an array, firmly surrounding the remains of [Demon Ancestor].

The mutilated body was already almost completely rotten, so its resistance was not fierce.

Meanwhile, [Life-Cheap] would occasionally hop onto the demon's body, attempting to suppress it with its own magic.

Her method of suppression was quite peculiar; she actually grew blood vessels and tendons from her own hands and feet onto this demonic body!
The remnant of the Demon Ancestor, reacting instinctively with utter disgust, would immediately rip the limbs off its body and throw them away.

It's like a leech plucked from your body.

But [the creature] is quite persistent; no matter how many times it is pulled down, it will still bounce and rush upwards again.

Each time her upper body was pulled down, it would take away a large portion of the magic power from her demonic body.

The demon's body was already weak, and under these repeated attacks, it slowly withered away in just a few days.

In the end, [Life-Saving] successfully grew all its limbs onto the body of [Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor], forming an even more bizarre and terrifying being.

After subduing the demonic body, [Life-Cheap] had no further desires. It drove the demonic body away and fled outside the [Heavenly Demon Palace]!
Her achievements have far exceeded expectations.

As for the remaining battle between [Yanfu] and [Tianmo], she no longer cared about it. She urgently needed to completely digest this demonic body and integrate it into her own system as soon as possible.

The demon's body had just grown legs and wasn't very skilled yet. It ran erratically and fell several times.

But [Life is cheap] has many legs, a total of eight legs!
She cleverly adjusted the position of her eight legs and ran away sideways in a crab-like manner.

Surprisingly, the speed was quite fast!

Outside her battlefield, [Youbing] watched his grandmaster depart, his eyes practically bulging with envy!
In the last battle, he got some of the flesh and blood of [Hell Body] along with [See Ghost], which was a decent gain, giving him a slight lead over [Cheap Life].

However, the other party has taken away the demonic body and already possesses a treasure that is enough to greatly advance their cultivation path.

[Sick] We can only hope that the two [Heavenly Demon Sons], who are confined within the [Heavenly Demon Palace], can squeeze out even more profit.

As for [Life-Saving], coming here to deal with this extremely difficult demonic body for him is quite a contribution.

The rest can only be left to these two [Yanfuzi] of the [Death-Borrowing] lineage.

[Sick] Carrying a tattered parchment, he wandered around the main hall of the [Heavenly Demon Palace].

He has already brought his supernatural abilities to their fullest potential!
The combination of [Yanfu Athlete's Foot] and twelve [Immortal Gu] forms a poisonous gas that possesses the power to destroy the world.

He tried to infuse his own poison into the demon palace to force the people inside out.

But these two [Heavenly Demons] have remained hidden deep within, not moving for so long, as steady as bamboo rats.

Inside the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Three Paths Woman and Dou Yuan are still waiting for their chance.

Once a certain prerequisite is met, the [Douyuan] plan can finally proceed.

Suddenly, he opened his demonic eyes and said:
"Three women, prepare yourselves and hand over all your [Immortal Spiritual Energy] to me!"

When the Three Paths Woman saw that something was finally happening, she couldn't wait to obey orders.

All that could be seen was that [Dou Yuan] gathered all the magical power of the two of them and poured it all into the main hall of [Heavenly Demon Palace] beneath their feet, using his authority as the sect leader to fully activate the wonders of this Demon Palace.

"open!"

A deep, resounding decree, carrying a resolute will that seemed to tear through the void, echoed throughout the core of the Demon Palace.

A profound Daoist aura rose from the Heavenly Demon Palace, soaring straight into the heavens.

The entire Heavenly Demon Palace trembled violently, as if a sleeping behemoth had been awakened and its deep pulse had been fully stirred.

On the walls of the palace, the primordial demonic runes that had been engraved for countless millennia now lit up.

Just like those twisted, living lines, those taboo totems that blaspheme against the gods, and those geometric arrays that symbolize endless chaos.

Dark purple, crimson, and pale green light bloomed in succession, carrying a malevolent intent to devour life.

The light converged into a stream, rushing wildly along the structure of the palace, and finally converging at the dome.

The obsidian dome, under the infusion of immense magical power, began to soften and melt like wax.

A deep vortex slowly formed at the center of the dome. It was only the size of a bowl at first, but it expanded at an astonishing speed and covered the entire dome in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the vortex, it was no longer the interior of the [Heavenly Demon Palace], nor was it ordinary void.

That was a sight that cannot be accurately described in words!

A twisted, writhing darkness flows with billions of indescribable, colorful symbols of decay, madness, greed, and chaos...

They were like boiling venom, or like millions of miniature, malevolent magic eyes blinking.

This is a corner of the projection of the [Cube Universe], the gateway to [Demon Fortune Heaven]!

There was a traitor within the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe who actually opened a passage to the Magic Cube Universe directly within the realm!

This passage is like an umbilical cord forcibly woven by the laws of magic!
It is constantly wriggling, multiplying, and contracting!
Just then, two demonic figures emerged from the passage and stood before [Dou Yuan] and [San Tu Nu].

The two [Heavenly Demon Princes] actually rose respectfully, bowed, and shouted loudly:

"Ancestor!"

The newcomers were not only the Lord of Demon Fortune from the Cube Universe, but also two extremely senior Demon Princes, whose Dharma names were Illusion Square and Spiritual Jun!
Moreover, this [Magic Square] already possesses [Time Sequence], making it a genuine first-rank great demon!

Many years ago, he and Lingjun had already made arrangements to occupy a Celestial Realm within the Demon Nest of the Cube Universe.

They have already established a new training ground outside the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe]!

This time, by sheer coincidence, the Great Black Heaven was unexpectedly destroyed, causing the Magic Cube Universe and the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe to become causally linked.

As beings extremely familiar with both universes, how could [Tianmozi], [Huanfang], and [Lingjun] not scheme against each other ruthlessly?
Currently, with the cooperation of [Douyuan] within the realm, the three [Heavenly Demon Sons] have prematurely detonated the demonic calamity.

This is precisely to give all fellow practitioners of the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] a big surprise!

Within the [Cube Universe], there are twenty-six demons from the [Celestial Realm]. Judging solely from their strength on paper, they undoubtedly overwhelm the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

However, all three [Heavenly Demons] knew that the [Xuanyuan Sword Sect] was a formidable force in this realm, and they had already suffered greatly at its hands.

Their goal this time is to draw upon the power of the demon race to the doorstep of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and use the secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Palace to give the Xuanyuan Sword Sect a big surprise.

Once billions of demons erupt from this passage, the few cats and cats left behind by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect within the realm will likely be utterly destroyed in one wave!

The Magic Cube spoke up:
"You two must not stay within the realm. After this battle, my [Heavenly Demon Palace] will officially take over the [Magic Cube Universe] and cultivate in this true holy land of the demonic path."

"There's nothing to miss in this [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe]."

"In a little while, I will open the passage completely and let billions of demons in."

"We don't need to get involved ourselves. Let's just observe from behind and see if this realm can withstand this world-destroying demonic calamity."

Douyuan and Santu Nu had almost exhausted their magic power, and then followed Huanfang and the other two along the passage to ascend to the Demon Fortune Heaven.

As the four [Heavenly Demon Sons] fled with their buckets, the outer gate of the [Heavenly Demon Palace] slowly opened.

A tattered parchment was tossed in through the crack in the door that had just been opened.

This is a case of someone being "sick" and using their own "ghost-seeing" ancestor as a stepping stone.

Anyway, the bug in "Seeing Ghosts" hasn't been fixed yet, and it still doesn't know how to resist.

[Sick] After waiting outside the door for a while, sensing that there was no magical fluctuation inside, he mustered up his courage and went in.

As soon as he entered, his gaze was drawn to the enormous vortex in front of him.

"Ran?"

He never expected that the two "Heavenly Demons" would abandon their homes and choose to run away with their buckets instead.

Just as he picked up the parchment scroll, preparing to carefully study this void vortex, an extremely terrifying aura emerged from it.

The filthy vortex that covered the entire dome suddenly collapsed inward for a moment, as if the universe had taken a deep breath.

The next second, it violently spewed outwards!

The [Magic Cube Universe] suddenly vomited a wave of living creatures into the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe]!
This is an endless, distorted torrent of living creatures, powerful enough to instantly shatter any rationality!
A viscous torrent of flesh and blood, carrying countless indescribable monsters, surged forth.

They resemble a collection of biological remains that have been forcibly stitched together, grafted, and mutated.

The air was instantly filled with a strong stench of blood, decay, and putridity!

They roared, screamed, and uttered incomprehensible, chaotic syllables.

They devour and merge with each other, following the most primal instincts of consuming and multiplying, like uncontrolled cancerous tissue.

In just a moment, the entire space was transformed into a writhing, flowing, screaming hell of flesh and blood!
A torrent! A true, endless torrent of monsters!

They also fight, devour, and merge with each other.

But this did not slow down their outflow at all; on the contrary, it made the entire descending "army" even more chaotic, violent, and unpredictable!
The vortex was like an inexhaustible, filthy spring, constantly spewing out terrifying creations from the twenty-sixth demon realm.

Without pausing, these demons spread outwards across the entire southern sky through the wide-open gates of the [Heavenly Demon Palace].

Throughout the entire Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe, only the hero "Youbing" directly confronts the blade of this demon!
He dedicated himself to protecting the safety of the realm, giving everything he had to the best of his ability.

At this moment, he has returned to his most comfortable and pleasant state.

He lay firmly on the ground, covering his head with a piece of parchment.

The footprints of the [Yanfu Daozu] were clearly visible on his back.

This time, faced with the invasion of demonic calamity, he could do nothing but obediently lie on the ground and wait for death.

All demons, large and small, who enter this realm will immediately kick "You're Sick" while they are on edge, and then expand outwards in a frenzy.

He successfully transformed from a foot slave of the [Yanfu Daozu] into a floor mat that millions of demons could ride.

Fortunately, he had [See Ghost] with him this time, so he wasn't too lonely.

However, he didn't bother to look up; on the parchment scroll above his head, endless obscene words were being written rapidly for him.

Even if the bug hasn't been fixed yet, this parchment still has to thoroughly criticize the "sick" part.

Their situation wasn't too bad, since they were in the dark right under the lamp and there were no other dangers for the time being.

But when the first batch of demons arrived in the Mountain Realm and Sea Realm in the Southern Heaven, an extreme massacre broke out!

This earth-shattering calamity has finally erupted at this moment!
Because of the traitor, this demonic calamity has arisen within the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] realm. If not handled properly, there is a real possibility of the realm being destroyed.

It all depends on how you powerful cultivators in the four directions (east, west, south, and north) respond!

……

Within the Eastern Pole Yu Yu Chang Sheng Tian, ​​in the Shang Qing Tian, ​​a bell tolled quietly, its melodious sound resounding throughout the entire Eastern Heaven.

However, the sound of this bell is strange; only those of the first rank or above can hear it. Those with slightly lower cultivation levels are not worthy of hearing it.

As the leader of the Taoist sects in the Eastern Heaven, Shangqing Heaven was the first to sense the impending demonic calamity and is gathering all the living forces in the Eastern Heaven to deal with it.

But before their bells had even rung halfway through, a sword aura inexplicably slid down from the sky, slashing towards the strange bells high above.

This sword light is so sharp that it can cut through anything!

It could even easily destroy the intangible and intangible magical sound of the bell.

One of the Shangqingzi raised his hand and scooped up the information from the sword energy.

It was actually [Xuanyuanzi] Bai Jun sending a message from afar:

"Greetings to fellow Daoist of 【Eastern Extreme Yu Yu Chang Sheng Tian】. This message sent from afar is somewhat presumptuous, but it is an urgent matter and I ask for your patience."

“The [Cube Universe] is facing a demonic calamity, and the vanguard of the demons has already entered my Southern Heaven.”

"However, this matter of the demonic calamity will be handled entirely by my Xuanyuan Sword Sect. I urge all fellow Daoists to observe the situation calmly and refrain from interfering!"

"During the demonic tribulation, fellow Daoists, do not enter my Southern Heaven. Otherwise, we will not be responsible for any accidental injuries caused by my [Xuanyuan] disciples."

"Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"

(End of this chapter)
