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

Chapter 224 The Heavenly Demon Flees, the Empress Arrives
As soon as Jing Qian entered the [Meditation Heaven], he was enveloped by a unique Dharma intent.

This demonic realm, the Heavenly Realm, is also extremely peculiar, being the breeding ground of the Brain Demon race.

The Brain Demon race is a unique type of celestial demon that specializes in attacking the soul and spirit. They follow the path of puppet slavery, capable of transforming into brain worms to devour the brains of living beings, seize their consciousness, and control their bodies, making them extremely bizarre and terrifying.

Within this [Meditation Heaven], the [Brain Demon] remains hidden, while numerous demonic puppets enslaved by the [Brain Demon] fill the realm.

Humans, beasts, birds, fish, insects...

Regardless of their cultivation level, any creature that falls victim to the [Brain Demon's] scheme and has its brain controlled will completely lose its independent consciousness, rendering it no different from death.

When they are imprisoned in this Meditation Heaven by the [Brain Demon], over time these puppets will gradually lose their vitality, lose their magic power, and eventually become dried corpses.

Right now, this realm is filled with mummified corpses of all shapes and sizes!

A strange ripple of magical power swirled and interfered among the mummified corpses, repeating endlessly.

The entire realm is a domain formed by the accumulation of these magical ripples over many years.

As soon as Jing Qian entered this place, a large number of magical energy ripples drilled into his sea of ​​consciousness.

As if provoked, the [Sacrificial Sword Pellet] immediately took the lead and unleashed a [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light], forcefully slashing out from the center of this [Meditating Heaven].

The magical energy ripple was severed in one strike and immediately dissipated into a ripple storm.

Jing Qian swept his divine eyes across the area and unleashed another sword strike in mid-air, piercing through most of the boundary and heading straight for a neatly coiled snake formation in the corner.

Hidden within this mummified corpse is a first-rank Great Demon from the [Brain Demon] clan.

It took a sword strike, and its formless and intangible body disintegrated and fell to the ground.

In this [Cube Universe], all the great demons who guard the various [Cube Heavens], regardless of their cultivation level, have mediocre combat power.

This is because the most outstanding bloodline offspring of each race became the "Asura Children" and were sacrificed in the "Asura Heaven" ritual.

Only those with second-class talent can continue their cultivation within the realm.

With Jing Qian's current combat strength, sweeping through a [Meditation Heaven] would be no problem for him.

At that very moment, the incarnation of the God of the Underworld emerged from the Sumeru dimension and descended upon this place.

He harnessed the two powerful spiritual energies, the Book of Life and Death and the Wheel of Reincarnation, unleashing an extremely strong magical force that cleansed the entire Meditation Heaven.

These [brain demons] are quite compatible with the [Hungry Ghost Path] secret techniques cultivated by the [God of the Underworld].

The task of harvesting this [Brain Demon] race naturally fell to the [God of the Underworld].

He used the Reincarnation Disc to collect numerous dried corpses, and the Book of Life and Death to absorb the magical ripples of the Brain Demon that were eroding other living beings.

For a time, all the medicines were top-quality drugs that could help the [God of the Underworld] evolve.

Just as Jing Qian was about to draw his sword again to separate the entire [Meditation Heaven] from the [Magic Cube Universe], a terrifying [sword light] suddenly appeared from beyond the sky!

Jing Qian was startled and immediately unleashed his full power with his [Heaven-Reaching Sword Light] to clash with the inexplicably appearing sword light.

He used the Nine Desolate Immortal Qi to control the four Sword Pills and drive the Heavenly Sword Light transformed from the Heavenly Sword Bone, which can be called the ultimate killing power.

Even the [Mother Insect's] [Centipede Transformation into Butterfly Divine Light] couldn't withstand it.

But opposite him, a pale white sword light, as white as fresh bone, slashed towards him without giving an inch.

In an instant, the magical power of the two sword paths exploded within this [Meditation Heaven].

These two beams of sword light were like two violent stars colliding violently!
"boom!"

An unimaginable surge of violent energy spread out instantly, its power far exceeding Jing Qian's expectations.

The pale white [White Bone Sword Light] and the dazzling [Heaven-Piercing Sword Light] tore and annihilated each other wildly, creating a destructive shockwave that swept across the entire [Meditation Heaven] in a ring!
The first to be affected were the billions of mummified corpses scattered throughout the region, piled up like mountains.

Even though the [God of the Underworld] had moved at lightning speed, the puppet bodies of the [Brain Demon] race were still shattered in the first collision of the sword light.

Even the entire spatial structure of the [Meditation Heaven] groaned in despair, unable to bear the burden any longer!
As the spreading magical power swept out, the entire realm was covered with pitch-black cracks, like a mirror.

The origin of the realm emerges one after another along these cracks.

Jing Qian frowned as he looked at the sudden turn of events, feeling quite dissatisfied.

He has already regarded this "Meditating Heaven" as his own private possession.

Any act that harms this realm is no less than rummaging through his pockets.

How can I bear this?
Facing another [white bone sword light] slashing down from beyond the boundary.

Jing Qian slashed down three beams of Heaven-Piercing Sword Light in succession, unleashing his full power!
The first sword light collided with the [White Bone Sword Light] once again, creating a tremendous upheaval.

The second sword light attacked from the direction from which the [White Bone Sword Light] originated.

The third sword light mercilessly cleaved [Meditation Heaven] down into the [Magic Cube Universe], dragging [Underworld God] towards the [Sumeru] dimension.

He raised his divine eyes and looked beyond the boundary, where he saw the Heavenly Demon Child [Illusion Square] hanging high in the sky, coldly watching Jing Qian.

Following the direction of the sword light from the [Illusion Square], most of the Daoists who had entered the realm were slashed and injured by his sword.

Aside from Jing Qian managing to withstand his sword light and even daring to counterattack.

Zhu Yun calmly dealt with the situation and thwarted the attack of the [Magic Square].

However, the remaining three, namely [See Ghost], [Sick], and Yan Huanchao, all suffered minor injuries.

The three [Xuanyuanzi] were especially hated by [Huanfang], and one of them had his arm cut off.

As a core disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace and a long-time rival of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, he understands best the terrifying nature of sword cultivators.

Therefore, any [Heavenly Demon Child] with sword cultivation talent will naturally try to incorporate sword cultivation into their own demonic system.

In particular, the secret techniques of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect had long been acquired by the Heavenly Demon Palace through various means during the years of competition.

The fact that the Heavenly Demon Child cultivated the Sword Pill had become a common practice.

Those who follow the path of the "Heart Demon Lord" like the "Three Paths Woman" are actually a minority.

And the [Magic Cube] is a [Time-Traveling Sword Demon] with sharp offensive capabilities!
He usually hides within the [Cube Universe], plotting against the entire [Asura Heaven].

This all-out burst of energy naturally showcased an unparalleled style!

Moreover, his sudden move completely altered the course of events within the [Cube Universe].

Because of his intervention, the struggle between [Shura-ko] and the invaders was interrupted.

The seven surviving Asura children left the battlefield, gathered together, and formed a battle formation to confront the enemy.

The Daoists each occupied one side, surrounding the [Illusion Square].

Suddenly, the [Magic Square] spoke, transmitting its voice:
"Friends from the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe, please leave this realm immediately."

"I have already shown mercy by not inflicting any casualties. You gentlemen, please do not make a mistake!"

As he spoke, the boundless power of the [Time-Traveling Sword Demon] erupted!

But he immediately wanted to decide who owned the [Cube Universe], which naturally made some people dissatisfied!

"cut!"

"Why are you so domineering, fellow Daoist?"

"If you want to dominate this [Cube Universe], then let's have a real fight."

"How can you expect us to back down just by talking?"

The one speaking was none other than Ghost Hair, who was hidden among the tree spirits.

He also possesses the [Time Sequence] ability, making him extremely powerful and immune to the [Magic Square] technique.

[Fantasy Cube] already knew that he no longer had time to deal with [Ghost Hair] and the others.

Bai Jun and Wu Changsheng are about to completely resolve the conflicts within the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe and rush to the battlefield.

If he can't take over this [Rubik's Cube Universe] as soon as possible, there might be more unexpected changes!

He spoke again:
“【Ghost Hair】Fellow Daoist, since you are not convinced, let’s find another time to have another match.”

"However, the inheritance of my [Heavenly Demon Palace] has reached a critical juncture. Even if we were to fight, now would not be the time."

"Right now, in this [Cube Universe], my [Heavenly Demon Palace] will monopolize eight [Cube Heavens]." "As for the remaining realms, if you want them, go and take them yourselves."

"As for these seven [Shura Children], I will take them all with me."

"After I took them away, no one came to stop you from occupying [Magic Cube Heaven], which can be considered as the sincerity shown by my [Heavenly Demon Palace]."

"I am not discussing this matter with you all; it is a matter of great importance for my [Heavenly Demon Palace]."

"That's all I have to say. You all should take care of yourselves."

Having said that, [Illusion Square] suddenly unleashed twelve [White Bone Sword Lights].

High above, they formed an enormous [Twelve Palaces Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Sword Array], completely enveloping the seven [Asura Children].

Normally, even though the sword formation of the [Illusion Square] is incredibly powerful, the [Shura Children] would definitely not be completely without resistance.

But the Magic Cube has been lurking in this Rubik's Cube universe for so long that it has already laid countless traps.

A sudden surge of magical energy erupted within the bodies of the six [Shura Children], rendering them completely immobile.

Only one person remained in disguise as the "offering sacrifice," and their act almost got exposed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pretended to be suppressed and sealed, and was suppressed along with the other six [Shura Children].

At the same time, a violent wail suddenly came from the source of the [Cube Universe].

An incomparably powerful demonic force erupted from it, almost overturning the entire structure of the [Cube Universe].

Of the twenty-seven [Magic Cube Heaven] statues, Jing Qian alone seized four of them.

Currently, there are still twenty-three [Celestial Realms] connected together, which still constitute an extremely powerful [Cosmic] Realm.

Within that origin, it is unknown what secret technique Lingjun and Douyuan used, but they completely shattered the connections between the many realms of the entire Magic Cube Universe!
In an instant, without Jing Qian needing to draw his sword again, all the [Magic Cube Heaven] naturally separated themselves.

In this situation, the most well-prepared [Heavenly Demons] naturally seized the greatest advantage.

Then, [Illusion Square] used its [Twelve Palaces Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Sword Array] to cover the eight [Heavenly Realms].

Besides the Demonic Fortune Heaven, whose realm is ruled by the Three Paths Woman, he also abducted the Asura Heaven, the most central realm in the entire universe.

The remaining six [Magic Cube Heavens] were naturally selected from the best of the best by [Illusion Cube], representing the realms with the strongest foundation and the highest potential.

The few "Heavenly Demons" have essentially taken away the most essential part of the entire "Cube Universe".

These eight [Cube Heavens], under the control of the [Illusion Cube] group, reunited and, outside the remaining [Celestial Realm], forcibly created a brand new [Cube Universe].

However, the original "third-order Rubik's Cube" composed of twenty-seven realms was directly downgraded to a "second-order Rubik's Cube" composed of eight realms.

In an instant, its foundation was severely damaged, its status plummeted, and its strength was greatly diminished.

However, for the four remaining members of the [Heavenly Demon Child], this much smaller [Magic Cube Universe] was simply the perfect place to attain enlightenment!
They successfully usurped the core resources of [Shura Heaven].

Furthermore, with the help of the power of the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe], all high-level [Shura Children] were eliminated.

All that was given up were a few useless and unusable Celestial Realms, making it a huge profit.

From then on, the Heavenly Demon Palace was completely freed from the suppression of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and broke free from its shackles.

Being able to travel through the void in the [Cube Universe], all you need to do is manage your own [Universe] and bring it back to its peak.

The future prospects of the four [Heavenly Demon Children] have undoubtedly been greatly improved, and they can develop further in a positive direction.

Now that their goal was achieved, the three of them boarded the new ship and flew away in a direction far from the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

Only [Illusionist] remained, setting up a [Sword Formation] to cover the rear.

He did not make any further moves, but silently watched as the eight Daoists seized the remaining fifteen [Magic Cube Heavens].

[Ghost Hair] strikes with the most decisiveness!
Without the hindrance of [Shura Child], he unleashed his full power. The six beings—[Higanbana], [Ghost Vine], [Lotus of the Underworld], [Blood Bodhi Seed], [Boundless Karmic Fire Banyan], and [Ashura Pineapple]—each rushed towards a [Demon Cube Heaven] from their first-grade immortal roots, beginning to devour and dominate it.

Meanwhile, within Ghost Hair's sea of ​​consciousness, the Yama Nursery was also flashing with spiritual light, using the magical power of the six great demons to permeate its own divine power into the six Demon Cube Heavens.

With these six [Heavenly Realms], it would be enough for [Ghost Hair] to perfectly digest the [Great Asura Body].

He has a very high chance of using this to condense a complete Six Paths of Reincarnation incarnation, thereby greatly advancing his supernatural powers and taking a giant leap forward in his cultivation at the first rank.

Ghost Hair was quite satisfied with such a harvest.

Ultimately, for a master of his level, cultivation is the most important thing.

The other Daoists also went all out, each rushing towards a different realm.

Zhu Yun possessed the highest magical power and the strongest supernatural abilities. With a single sword strike, he cleaved open the core of a [Celestial Realm] and planted a giant golden thunder bamboo within the realm's origin.

The entire [Magic Cube Heaven] was transformed into food for the Thunder Bamboo, and was frantically absorbed.

As he devoured the first realm, he unleashed a sword light that enveloped all three realms, preparing to feed them one by one to his bamboo.

[Illness] and [Seeing Ghosts] each occupy a separate domain.

The two sources of the curse unleashed their [Death-Borrowing] divine power without restraint, easily annihilating all living beings within their respective realms.

The resentment and hatred of the beings who died in the secret method were transformed into resources for the two powerful beings, enhancing their cultivation.

As for this "Celestial Realm," it also became a new source of poison for the two "Yanfuzi."

The secret technique of "Death Injection" was buried within the realm, completely poisoning the very essence of the realm.

It was also an important part of their spiritual practice.

The remaining three, Yan Huanchao and his companion, were the weakest in strength, yet the most united.

Moreover, they knew that their greatsword was on its way.

Therefore, the three of them each unleashed a sword light, occupying three of the remaining four realms.

Only the last territory was left for Jing Qian to occupy.

Jing Qian, however, did not dwell on this. He simply followed the Daoists, opened the [Sumeru] dimension, and continued to devour the last [Celestial Realm] being.

Although the last realm was also a huge gain, his mind was no longer on it!

Within that gradually receding [Rubik's Cube Universe], Jing Qian planted a hidden seed.

For him, what truly interested him was how the "Heavenly Demons" had usurped the throne and completely suppressed a "Universe."

Right now, he's researching how to create a new "Cube Universe".

He activated the [Sacrifice God] avatar that was buried within him from a great distance.

And using that [Sacrifice God] incarnation as an anchor point, it aroused its own [Void Lord] divine power.

Under Jing Qian's control, the incarnation of the "Feast God" in the "Treasure Bottle Seal Universe" actually took advantage of the fact that the "Illusion Cube" was focused on covering the rear and did not pay attention to the few dead dogs of the "Shura Child" and successfully completed the space-time travel, and descended into the new "Magic Cube Universe".

He remained hidden in the shadows of the [Sacrifice to the Gods], leaving no trace.

Just then, [Banquet God] tried to activate the [Duke of Jing] spirit official title that he had suppressed for a long time.

He sent a highly provocative thought to the God of the North, the Emperor of the Netherworld.

"Come here!"

Such a suicidal act would have been too much for Jing Qian to bear anywhere else; he wouldn't have dared to act so arrogantly.

But he was currently in the lair that the Demon Prince could not possibly abandon, and feeling that he had a powerful demon clan leader protecting him, he was not afraid of anyone.

Let's see what kind of battle record this [Goddess Ego] can achieve against several [Heavenly Demons]!

After delivering the message, the [Feast God] never moved an inch again.

To him, he was the prey that the Empress was pursuing.

Hiding in the [Aquarius Universe] is relatively safe during normal times.

His current nemesis has drawn a wave of hatred from him and could descend upon him from afar at any moment, leaving him no choice but to back down.

Sure enough, just as the [Feast God] sent out the message, another surging [Five Emperors Divine Light] pierced through the void from the northern sky and headed towards the [Magic Cube Universe].

Attracted by Jing Qian, the three incarnations of [Goddess Ego] quietly descended.
