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

Chapter 223 The Power of the Sword Light, The Heavenly Demon's Wish
This training in the [Rubik's Cube Universe] has perfectly fulfilled Jing Qian's expectations!

Even when he first condensed the [Immortal Trapping Sword Formation], countless thoughts were already surging within him, driving him to pursue such an outcome.

Now that this result has come so gloriously, he has instead felt a sense of unease born from being too overjoyed.

Fortunately, the abundant magical power within him and the unified Daoist aura made him feel extremely at ease.

The completion of the four [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] and the condensation of the [Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone] marked a fundamental turning point in his sword cultivation.

The total investment of 497 Immortal Remains Jade was something that even top-tier Rank 1 Time Sequence experts like Bai Jun and Gui Mao could not accomplish!
Even if these powerful figures could kill enough second-rank beings, it would be absolutely impossible for them to extract the [Life Stele] beacon and take out the entire [Life Stele].

This is the unique wonder of the [Sumeru Great Way Stele]!
Jing Qian invested astonishing resources to finally achieve such success.

He leaped up from the [cloudy sky], and the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] within his body poured into the [Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone] as if it were free.

This was the first time he had tried to use his newfound supernatural abilities!
A magnificent sword formation unfolded around his body, stretching westward for hundreds of miles.

This is the [Immortal Trapping Sword Formation], which governs the Dao of Nirvana!
Another magnificent sword formation, imbued with boundless killing intent, stretched eastward for hundreds of miles.

This is the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], which is dominated by the Daoist principle of slaughter!
When he tried to activate the third [Slaying Immortal Sword Formation], he was shocked to find that more than 90% of his [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] had been absorbed by the two [Sword Formations], making it impossible for him to advance any further.

Each time he sets up a [Sword Formation], it draws out a thousand strands of [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi], which is an extremely exaggerated consumption of magical power.

If he wanted to set up a complete [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] combining the four formations, he would need to consume at least four thousand strands of [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi], which far exceeded his current limit of magical power.

Even if a first-rank cultivator were here, without sufficient foundation, they wouldn't be able to accumulate so much [Immortal Qi]!
At this moment, Jing Qian possessed thirty-two [Heavenly Mandates], which were connected to the [Eternal Eye of Moment], the [Azure Lotus Sword Box], and four natal [Sword Pills], achieving a six-fold increase in his magical power cultivation and obtaining a magical power limit of two thousand and forty-eight [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi].

To fully unleash the true power of the [Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone], at least one more sword-path [Spiritual Ability] of rank one or higher needs to be forged.

Moreover, this is on the premise that Jing Qian's [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] cannot refine more than 2,500 layers of [Primordial Qi Sea]!
Once it exceeds 2,500 layers, the quality of the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] will undergo another qualitative leap, even surpassing the capacity of a first-grade [Spiritual Energy]!
At that time, only the supreme [Spiritual Ability] of the first rank will be able to support the multiplication of magical power.

This did not dampen Jing Qian's enthusiasm; on the contrary, it further fueled his fighting spirit.

He eagerly anticipated the true power that his fully-established [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] would unleash.

Even with insufficient magical power, the extraordinary power of the [Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone] is not entirely unusable.

Although it cannot set up a sword formation, it can condense sword light.

Jing Qian then withdrew the [Immortal Trapping Sword Formation] and the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], and more than 90% of the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] that had just been drawn out by the [Sword Formation] returned.

He then poured the Nine Desolate Immortal Qi into the Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone, and subsequently, a Heaven-Reaching Sword Light, which gathered the power of the four swords of Execution, Slaughter, Trapping, and Annihilation, was completely condensed.

Jing Qian silently sensed his own sword light, his heart burning with excitement!
Its power alone is enough to easily kill that [Asura Child] from before.

He brought out the [Sacrificial God] that was wrapped around the [Scale of the Great Asura Demon Ancestor] from within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The newly formed [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light] was slashed towards the demonic scale.

The sharp sword light carefully peeled away the texture of the demonic scales!
The [Relic of the Dao Ancestor], which he had just found difficult to deal with, was completely dismantled in the blink of an eye, and could no longer be condensed into a new form.

At that moment, [Sacrifice God] channeled his powerful [Pangu Bloodline] into the [Asura Demon Scale] through its veins.

It seems he's using his own blood to purify, performing dialysis on the [Asura Demon Scale].

The Asura bloodline within it was gradually replaced by Pangu.

This is an extremely deep level of refining and absorption!

Once the [Sacrifice to the Gods] completes this process, he will have complete control over this first-grade [Spiritual Energy], and its power will greatly increase.

The replaced [Asura] bloodline was not discarded directly, but was instead enveloped and temporarily sealed by Jing Qian using [Heaven-Reaching Sword Light].

After being refined, the [Great Asura Demon Ancestor's Scale] slowly faded from purple and became as clear as jade.

The word "worshiping the gods" then changed from "eggplant spirit" to "chili spirit".

With the help of this unique [spiritual energy], [the sacrificial deity] obtained a massive amount of [Great Asura Lord] cultivation essence.

He was thus promoted to the first rank, becoming the second Six Paths Incarnation to reach the first rank after the [Banquet God].

After careful consideration, Jing Qian unsealed the [Asura] bloodline, wrapped it with [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi], and temporarily applied it to the surface of [Sacrificial God], dyeing it purple again.

At present, judging from the aura and purple skin of his [Sacrifice God], he is quite similar to that [Shura Child] from before.

The incarnation of [Shura Child] is currently within my Life Stele space. All I need to do is extract its memories and give them to [Sacrificial God] to use.

He can now have another alias, "Shura Zi".

Although he hadn't figured out how to use it right away, it didn't take much effort on him; he handled it very easily.

Jing Qian's first use of the [Heavenly Sword Light] was not in combat, but it still demonstrated an extremely powerful effect.

But of course, he couldn't be satisfied!
Having just received such a powerful boost in combat strength, if he were to follow Xuanyuanzi's cultivation path, he would have to go on a killing spree to quickly expand his advantage and continue snowballing his power!
In this void, Gou Daoliu has no future. If he fattens himself into a big fat pig, his final fate will inevitably be toyed with by destiny.

The improvement in combat power must be realized immediately!

Jing Qian's eyes gleamed with a chilling sword aura, and his fighting spirit was incredibly high.

In a flash of thought, he entered the space of the Life Stele and stood before a group of great demons.

After a rapid digestion, of the 657 great demons of the second rank or above, only a mere 100 remained.

These powerful demons couldn't even withstand his [Immortal Trapping Sword Light]; they were merely weaklings sent to the gatekeeper BOSS, unworthy of testing the power of his [Heaven-Reaching Sword Light].

He stepped over the horde of demons and stood within the space of his life monument, before his most treasured collection.

A true [Chronological] powerhouse, the [Mother of the Insects] who once ruled the [Hive Universe], stood opposite him.

The Queen Insect is still covered in butterfly wings, exuding a majestic aura.

After Jing Qian became the Pure Yang Master and truly boosted his combat power, the divine soul avatars he took into his Life Stele Space were basically his defeated opponents whom he had personally killed.

Aside from providing him with some resources, it has completely lost its function as his sparring partner.

Apart from this [Insect Mother], he has not been able to acquire a divine soul avatar whose combat power surpasses his for a long time.

The [Insect Mother] possesses the power of [Time Sequence] and [Divine Light], making her extremely powerful in combat.

If it hadn't been ganged up on by a group of [Time Sequence] big shots back then, Jing Qian would never have been able to get its divine soul incarnation.

Over the years, Jingqian has made several attempts to oppose the [Insect Mother].

Unless he hides in the [Sumeru] dimension and doesn't show himself, he can't escape the [Mother Insect's] [Centipede Transformation into Butterfly Divine Light] and will be killed instantly.

Now that he has condensed the [Heaven-Reaching Sword Light], the first thing he wants to do is test the sword on this [Mother Insect].

The space of the Destiny Stele is shrouded in chaos and uncertainty.

Jing Qian and the avatar of the [Insect Mother] faced each other from afar, their invisible energies colliding and surging in the void, emitting a silent shriek.

The feeling of being crushed has vanished, replaced by a sense of eager anticipation and a sharp edge that is ready to be tested.

"Little bug, long time no see, you've gotten bolder."

"If you can kill me just once, I'll answer three of the questions you asked!"

The dragonfly-like body, covered in butterfly wings, undulated slightly, its icy divine sense, like a tangible tide, bearing down with overwhelming weight and eeriness.

[Timeline] The big shots also receive considerable preferential treatment within the Fate Tablet space.

If Jing Qian wanted to dissect the cultivation essence of the [Insect Mother], he could do so without any hindrance. However, if he wanted to access the [Insect Mother's] memories, he would have to truly defeat the [Insect Mother].

Jing Qian's lips curled into a cold smile, his fighting spirit surging in his chest, almost bursting out of his body.

"Today, I borrow your body to test my new skills! I beg you, senior, not to hold back!"

Before he could finish speaking, the newly formed [Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone] within his body suddenly began to hum.

More than two thousand streams of [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] flowed into the core of the sword bone without any deliberate activation, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

In an instant, an indescribable sword light burst forth from his mind!

This light is neither gold nor jade, neither blue nor purple; it seems to condense the primordial brilliance of the universe at its beginning, and also seems to contain the ultimate annihilation that ends all things.

The moment it appeared, the stable rules of the Life Stele space seemed to be distorted.

Amidst the sword light, the Daoist principles of the four swords of annihilation, destruction, trapping, and extinction blended perfectly, with the four great sword pellets—[Sumeru], [Sacrifice], [Pure Yang], and [Yin Yang]—working together with one heart and one mind.

Even if it were Bai Jun here, he wouldn't be able to pull out a fourth genuine first-grade Xuanyuan Sword Pill.

This Heaven-Piercing Sword Light, which gathers the power of four Rank 1 Spiritual Insights, is Jing Qian's strongest attack to date!
Sever matter, sever energy, sever laws, sever spacetime!
The power of the sword is thus fully displayed!
"Hmph, a mere speck of light!"

The [Insect Queen] suddenly flapped its enormous butterfly wings, and the colorful [Divine Light], like billions of flowing galaxies, instantly filled the entire field of vision.

This light contains the power of [time sequence], causing the flow of time to suddenly become disordered, the spatial structure to be forcibly "transformed" and decomposed, and the stability of matter to be completely subverted.

This is precisely the [Spirit of Centipede Transformation into Butterfly] that Jing Qian had suffered countless times in the past!
At this moment, the magnificent [Centipede Transformation into Butterfly Divine Light] swept in once again, directly clashing with the [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light].

But this time, the dazzling divine light, upon touching the Heavenly Sword Light, was like the finest silk meeting the sharpest scissors!

"laugh!"

The Heavenly Sword Light silently cut into the core of the Centipede Transformation Divine Light.

The divine light, like a wave cleaved by an invisible blade, instantly lost all its mystique, transforming into a chaotic, colorful speck of magical dust that slowly dissipated.

The sword light itself dimmed slightly, but its speed remained unchanged, resolutely slashing towards the [Mother Insect]!
For the first time, the emotion called "astonishment" was clearly revealed in the cold and ruthless compound eyes of the [Insect Mother].

It was struck by Jing Qian's Heaven-Piercing Sword Light and was immediately critically injured and on the verge of death!

But the next second, the power of [Time Sequence] suddenly erupted, completely enveloping the [Insect Mother]'s body, refreshing and restoring all the injuries it had just suffered!
"What a beautiful sword light!"

[Insect Mother] Looking at Jing Qian again, her eyes were undoubtedly much more serious, no longer treating him like dirt as before.

In terms of offensive power, it has already been overwhelmed by Jing Qian's [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light].

However, with the blessing of [Time Sequence], it remained invincible and was not completely killed by [Heavenly Sword Light].

Although both Jing Qian and Jing Qian possessed the power of [Time Sequence], Jing Qian's foundation was too weak, and his development and utilization of [Time Sequence] were still very rudimentary. He could only rely on [Time Sequence] to enjoy endless lifespan.

The [Insect Queen] obtained the [Time Sequence] tens of thousands of years earlier than him, and could already anchor her own state in the river of time, refreshing herself at any time during the great battle.

Since Jing Qian cannot break its past or future, he naturally cannot harm it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the [Insect Mother] was ambushed by [Goddess Ego] and hadn't been gang-raped by too many people back then, it would be considered one of the most difficult types of cultivators to kill.

At this moment, the [Insect Queen], in excellent condition, once again crushed Jing Qian.

His [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light], though extremely powerful, was like punching cotton when it struck the [Mother Insect's] [Chronological Order] power.

However, Jing Qian wasn't bothered by it. He had already achieved his goal of testing his sword against the [Insect Mother]. This testing stone was very useful; he could accumulate more experience and have plenty of time to play with it.

Currently, the [Mother Insect's] [Centipede Transformation into Butterfly Divine Light] can no longer kill him; he can only rely on the power of [Time Sequence] to defend against it.

This was a truly transformative change for him!

Jing Qian bowed respectfully and began to speak:
"Senior, please rest and recuperate. I've already reserved all the secrets in your mind. I'll take my leave now!"

Without hesitation, he escaped the Life Stele space and returned to the [Magic Cube Universe].

Having been tested by the [Insect Mother], his confidence has grown even stronger!

Under the [Time Sequence], I am invincible!

Without a powerful being of the highest rank guarding it, isn't the [Magic Cube Universe] just a place where you can take whatever you want?
Jing Qian stood above the Cloudy Sky, his sword intent boiling within him. Although his battle with the Insect Mother had not been entirely successful, it had completely ignited his absolute confidence.

He stood in mid-air, his eyes blazing, and once again unleashed a [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light].

This time, the target of the [Sword Light] is not living beings, but this vast [Celestial Realm] that has borne countless demons.

"cut!"

The Heavenly Sword Light silently cut into the core of the Cloudy Sky.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no clash of magical forces, only the purest and most fundamental cutting.

This [Yin Tian] was actually cleaved off the [Magic Cube Universe] by him.

Just then, an overwhelming suction force erupted from the [Sumeru] dimension, transforming into an invisible vortex that firmly covered the entire [Cloudy Sky].

The next second, this powerful demonic realm was swallowed whole by the Sumeru dimension!

The entire [Cube Universe] seemed to have been torn open with a huge wound, and a massive amount of primordial energy gushed out from the point where [Yin Tian] had broken open.

Jing Qian reacted swiftly, opening the [Sumeru] dimension once more and drawing in the essence of the [Magic Cube Universe].

These vital energies are of negligible quality, but they are plentiful and satisfying, enough to provide a major boost to the [Sumeru] dimension.

Without pausing for a moment, he unleashed another [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light], which struck directly upon [Love Heaven], replicating the entire process and swallowing this realm into the [Sumeru] dimension.

[Good Corn] has worked hard for quite some time and has already packed up and taken away the people inside.

Only a few hundred thousand garbage collectors remained, who were relocating the [Love Heaven] realm itself separately.

But the efforts of hundreds of thousands of garbage collectors are no match for Jing Qian's single sword strike, "Penetrating Heaven."

There are a total of twenty-seven [Rubik's Cubes], and Jing Qian has already swallowed three of them!
In terms of resource contribution, the [Cube Universe] has even reached parity with the [Hive Universe]!

His conquest of the [Cube Universe] has only just begun!
Now, under the sweep of his [Eternal Eye of Moment], he felt as if the ground around him was covered in gold. If he didn't harvest a wave of it, even the King of Yellow and Black, who controlled good fortune, would not be able to stand it!

Jing Qian transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the third [Magic Cube Heaven].

An earth-shattering massacre has erupted within this realm known as the [Meditation Heaven]!
……

The fluctuations of primordial energy that flowed through the realms deeply affected the depths of the [Cube Universe], the very origin of the entire realm.

A massive, purple-skinned corpse with an extremely fierce aura is immersed in this place, merging with the fundamental energy of the entire [Cube Universe].

This is actually the remains of the Great Asura Demon Ancestor!

This mutilated corpse, having escaped a single sword strike from [Xuanyuan], is in much better condition than the mutilated corpse of [Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor].

At this very moment, three figures were gathered around the remains of the Great Asura Demon Ancestor, seemingly engaged in some activity.

Surprisingly, these three were not the [Shura Child], but rather the [Heavenly Demon Child] Huanfang, Lingjun, and Douyuan!

The three [Heavenly Demon Princes], who were at least of the first rank, quietly descended upon the core of this [Magic Cube Universe] during the climax of the entire battle, naturally with extremely deep calculations!
However, upon closer examination of the underlying reasons, the current great battle between the [Magic Cube Universe] and the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] was actually orchestrated and driven by several [Heavenly Demon Sons]!

Whether it was the [Heavenly Demon Palace] stirring up a demonic calamity within the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe], or...

Whether it was Ling Jun offering up the coordinates to lure the [Cube Universe] into invading, it was all done with extremely deep malice.

This was also the only way for the Heavenly Demon Palace to save itself when it was at its wit's end.

Within the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe, the Heavenly Demon Palace was suppressed by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect for 100,000 years.

This inhuman fate almost completely shattered the backbone of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The mighty Demonic Clan, capable of devouring the heavens and earth and ruthlessly destroying souls, was nearly uprooted.

Especially ten thousand years ago, during the last wave of resistance by the Heavenly Demon Palace, they even used the remains of the Demon Ancestor, only to be mocked by the bandits of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect as if it were just a show for their amusement.

Since then, the Heavenly Demon Palace has completely changed its strategy and has begun to prepare to flee from the Dao Abyss Divine Shuttle Universe.

After countless years of planning, the group of "Magic Cube" finally found a crucial opportunity to break the deadlock in this "Magic Cube Universe".

The entire Heavenly Demon Palace has gone all out!
Ultimately, the calamity that befell the Heavenly Demon Palace was due to a problem with the Divine Heaven of the Dao Abyss, which affected the fate of the entire realm.

The complete annihilation of the three great Dao Ancestor lineages of Daoyuan, Xingchen, and Jiuyou, and the devastating collapse of Chunyang and Yanfu.

It almost completely overturned the path forward of the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

Originally, this was a top-tier [Devouring Universe] in the void, driven by more than a dozen [Dao Ancestor] lineages, spending its days riding divine shuttles to hunt prey.

At that time, the abundant resources obtained by devouring other realms were enough to ensure that all the Dao Ancestor lineages were well-fed and could develop fully.

However, ever since the incident involving [Dao Yuan Zhong Shen Tian], the invasion and conquest activities of the entire realm have decreased by more than 90%.

Without the additional supply of resources, these Dao Ancestor lineages can only engage in infighting in order to ensure their own survival.

Before the incident, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Palace were close allies, fighting side by side in the conquest of the realm.

The fact that we've reached this point is something our predecessors could never have imagined.

Regardless, the Heavenly Demon Palace has made its choice.

When they actively brought the [Cube Universe] into the realm, the whole thing was already beyond repair.

The top-ranking [Time Sequence] master in the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] will not tolerate the continued existence of this lineage that has developed disloyal intentions.

At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Palace was determined to leave, severing all ties and no longer wanting to have anything to do with the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

All these thoughts and the resonance of cause and effect have led to this rather abrupt and unique demonic calamity.

The [Cube Universe] was misled by the [Heavenly Demon Child] and used the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe] as an ordinary [Producer Universe] to invade.

The Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe, like a parched land receiving timely rain, took the Cube Universe that had been delivered to its doorstep as a windfall and devoured it without a second thought.

The Heavenly Demon Palace was also getting those bastards from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect to do their part one last time, to help them crush and drive away the Asura Heaven, so that they could completely take over the Magic Cube Universe and open up a second development curve for their own lineage.

All parties have wonderful aspirations!
Unfortunately, Chunyang and Yanfu intervened, causing the entire situation to unfold in ways that exceeded the expectations of Tianmo Palace.

The sudden appearance of the powerful figure 【Ghost Hair】has had a significant impact!
Furthermore, Jing Qian single-handedly seized the "Love Sky" and "Cloudy Sky" in the blink of an eye, needless to say that the entire "Cube Universe" was damaged.

The plans that the Heavenly Demon Palace had already meticulously crafted were thus severely impacted!

Beside the mangled corpse of the Great Asura Demon Ancestor, Ling Jun raised his hand and unleashed a burst of magical power, conjuring the phantom of Jing Qian's severing of the realm. He then spoke:
"【Dou Yuan】, who is this 【Xuan Yuan Zi】? Why isn't he mentioned in the message you sent?"

"If we had known earlier that there was such a powerful [Xuanyuanzi], we would have saved a few more [Shurazi] from dying in [Shura Heaven]."

"Right now, he has become the key to breaking the deadlock, and he has already affected our overall plan!"

Lingjun's tone was already extremely cautious!

The Heavenly Demon Palace has exhausted almost all of its resources and staked its future on this, so it cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

Dou Yuan frowned deeply and said:
"This child is not [Xuanyuanzi], but is actually [Yanfuzi]."

"The mistress was schemed against once by someone from [Yanfu]. She investigated it very thoroughly, so she shouldn't be wrong."

"However, this boy's strength is far from what was described in the intelligence."

"He is now beyond help. If we allow him to seize the realms like this, it might awaken the remnant body of the Great Asura Demon Ancestor prematurely."

Lingjun nodded and said:

"There's no other way; we'll have to take matters into our own hands!"

The Heavenly Demon Princes have no choice but to take action!
This was one of the worse options in their plan.

If the Demon Prince takes action personally, it will greatly increase the risk of the Demon Palace's plans being exposed.

The resulting unpredictable changes could potentially lead the entire situation out of control.

The Heavenly Demon Palace, by its own strength, schemed against two Devourer Universes; it was truly walking a tightrope!
Just then, the Magic Square spoke.

"Stop messing around!"

"The outcome has been decided on the other side of the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe."

"Let's stop while we're ahead and get ready to close the net!"

“I will personally take action to stop these eight Daoists who have entered the realm, especially [Ghost Hair].

"You two hurry up and dispose of the remains of the [Shura]."

The words of [Magic Square] startled the two people beside him, causing their emotions to fluctuate violently for the first time.

Then [Dou Yuan] spoke:
"So fast?"

"Those are three Asura Children who have mastered the power of [Time]!"

But then the Magic Square said:

"Wu Changsheng has been promoted to the first rank!"

"Right now, the two first-rank [Xuanyuanzi] are rapidly reaping the rewards on the battlefield."

"They'll probably be here soon."

"Don't hesitate, make a clean break when necessary!"

Having said that, the Magic Cube rose from the very depths of the origin of this Magic Cube Universe, transforming into light and instantly descending upon the heavens.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed, and six beams of divine light shot out at the six Dao disciples who were engaged in fierce battle.

Upon closer inspection, the divine light in [Illusion Square]'s hand contained a [Sword Pellet], indicating that he was also cultivating the path of [Xuanyuan]!
