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

Chapter 234 Body Refinement and Sword Forging: The Brakes Fail
Jing Qian could have easily escaped into the [Sumeru] dimension and avoided the goddess's restraints, but he succumbed to his bloodline instincts and chose to confront her bloodline invasion head-on.

He was willing to take huge risks to make such a radical choice, simply because he clearly foresaw that there were enormous benefits and unparalleled opportunities involved!

With the explosive boost of the Pure Yang Heaven's fortune, he has a chance of winning!
A surge of extremely pure bloodline power seeped into Jing Qian's body through the goddess's serpentine kiss.

Beneath Ke Jingqian's skin lies a complete [Xumi Xiang'er Sword Body], hidden and unseen by the enemy.

This wondrous sword-like body, when revealed during battle, can transform into a towering light armor, two to three zhang tall, unleashing immense power.

Normally, it lies hidden beneath the skin, protecting the body, nourishing the flesh, and accumulating magical power.

As his first line of defense, the bloodline power brought by the goddess was absorbed by his [Sumeru Thought Sword Body] first.

The goddess opposite him ignored everything and relentlessly used her own bloodline to erode and permeate Jing Qian's body.

By this time, Jing Qian had a clear understanding: this goddess was the true form of [Egao Shangdi]!
The five incarnations of "Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost" that she usually reveals are similar to Jing Qian's six reincarnations, all being external magical powers used to accumulate merit and seize resources.

Her true source of destiny and divine power is exclusively enjoyed by this original body!

The core of her cultivation lies entirely in the Nuwa bloodline within her!
The other party, through some unknown fortuitous opportunity, obtained the bloodline of the extremely high-ranking Nuwa and fully integrated it with their own divine system.

This bloodline of Nuwa granted her unparalleled cultivation efficiency and extremely powerful combat abilities.

It also successfully helped [God Egao] overcome numerous difficulties and achieve a remarkable comeback, using the divine path of destiny to occupy the entire Northern Heaven, and in this cycle of reincarnation, it rushed to the top five ranks of the [Transcendence] seed sequence.

However, the bloodline of Nuwa is ultimately an external entity. Even though Egao Shangdi has been in seclusion for many years, fully integrating with it, there is still a trace of alien power preventing her from achieving perfection.

To dispel this strange power, we must find another bloodline power no lower than that of Nuwa, introduce it into our body as a new force, let it entangle with the strange power, and then expel it from our body in the form of a "divine child".

Over the years, she has searched the entire void for a high-level bloodline, but has never succeeded in finding one!
Until she saw the Pangu bloodline in Jing Qian!
The bloodline of this being is in no way inferior to that of Nuwa, and can be considered the blood of origin and totem, perfectly fulfilling the purpose of Egao Shangdi's perfect cultivation.

That is why she is determined to obtain the Pangu bloodline before her!

You search high and low without finding it, but then suddenly, what you need quietly grows out of your own territory.

Isn't this also a kind of destiny?
[Goddess Ego]'s self-confidence was reinforced once again.

For a moment, the human and the snake embraced and kissed, creating an atmosphere that seemed somewhat romantic and ambiguous.

But the two people who were actually in the middle of it all realized that this was a life-or-death battle of devouring!

They both want to obtain the power of each other's bloodline, but who can bear to lose their own bloodline?
The difference in cultivation level between [Egao Shangdi] and Jing Qian is enormous. Moreover, the Empress is a master cultivator who specializes in bloodline cultivation. Just considering the comparison of bloodline power between the two, the disparity is extremely large.

If the Empress is likened to an orca, then Jing Qian is at best a barnacle growing from the orca's mouth.

Therefore, [Goddess Ego] did not care at all that Jing Qian had absorbed a mouthful or two of his own bloodline power.

She intends to use her own Nuwa bloodline to completely absorb and envelop the other party's Pangu bloodline, drawing it into her own body.

Therefore, she began frantically pouring her own bloodline power into Jing Qian's body.

The two totem bloodlines resonated across the void, and regardless of which one devoured the other, their essence would undergo a tremendous improvement.

Jing Qian felt as if he were a balloon being blown up by the Empress.

If he cannot withstand such terrifying bloodline power, this power will completely usurp his place and forcibly squeeze his Pangu bloodline out of his body.

In this way, the Empress essentially used her own Nuwa bloodline to completely replace Jing Qian's Pangu bloodline.

At that time, Jing Qian, having been squeezed dry, will be like sugarcane chewed to pulp, and will inevitably be spat out cleanly.

Only by withstanding the frenzied onslaught of the Empress's bloodline power could he slow down his own defeat.

For Jing Qian, the infusion of the Empress's bloodline was also his destiny and a stroke of luck.

The vast power of the Nuwa bloodline is considered the most superior cultivation resource.

Ordinary little demons and monsters can undergo a fundamental change in their bloodline essence just by taking a sip.

In this void, the only bloodline comparable to that of Nuwa and Pangu is perhaps the blood of the True Dragon clan, which traces back to the source of their bloodline: the blood of the Ancestral Dragon.

When these bloodlines were infused into Jing Qian's body, he was undoubtedly treated to a gluttonous feast!
All cultivation elements capable of accommodating and absorbing bloodline power will be greatly satisfied.

The only thing that can determine Jingqian's fate is how far he can hold on!

The Empress and Jing Qian, one the top and one the bottom, 1110.

This sparked an extreme tug-of-war!

The Empress carefully controlled her output, fearing that if she used too much force, she might accidentally shoot the guy off and make her [Pangu] bloodline incomplete.

In any case, she felt she had no reason to fail!
No matter how gifted the other party is, they could never be more capable of containing the power of bloodlines than she is!

Jing Qian also cast aside all distractions, leaving only one thing to do: to fully embrace the Empress's power and digest the Nuwa bloodline as much as possible.

The two slept side by side, embracing and kissing, engaging in passionate lovemaking night after night, indulging in unrestrained debauchery.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed!

As a barnacle, Jingqian absorbed at least several dozen times the bloodline power of the Empress compared to his own body!
During this process, his [Sumeru Xiang'er Sword Body], as the first line of defense, made a great contribution.

Jing Qian's [Xumi Xiang'er Sword Body] contains a vast amount of resources through the [Pangu Bloodline] and is connected to the [Qingping Sword Box]. It is both a [Destiny] and a [Spiritual Opportunity], and has great potential.

Correspondingly, it is extremely difficult to increase the level of refinement of this [Sword Body].

Since Jing Qian successfully condensed the [Xumi Xiang'er Sword Body], he has remained at the [First Reincarnation] level without any progress.

Until this time, when it received the boundless power of the Empress's [Nuwa Bloodline], the [Sumeru Xiang'er Sword Body] began to advance by leaps and bounds!

In just half a day, it accumulated enough power to reach perfection and began to advance towards the [Second Transformation] realm.

[Sword Body] must connect with the power of a first-grade [Spiritual Energy] for each step forward.

Without hesitation, Jing Qian linked the [Eye of Fleeting Eternity] with the [Sword Body], propelling the [Sword Body] forward to a perfect step.

With the help of the divine eye, the head armor of this [Sword Body] was solidly formed, no longer a mere illusion of magic power.

Correspondingly, the power of the entire [Sword Body] increased dramatically!

As for Jing Qian, whether the [Sword Body] is strong or not is not a concern for now.

Having advanced to the second stage, the [Sumeru Sage Body]'s ability to bear and digest the Empress's bloodline power has increased once again!
This is crucial!

Jing Qian successfully snowballed his success!
He continued to infuse the power of the Empress's bloodline into the [Sword Body], pushing it towards the [Third Transformation].

He possesses a first-rank swordsmanship skill called "Lingji," and there are a total of five of them!

That's enough to push the [Sumeru Thought Sword Body] to the [Seventh Rank]!
Soon, the [Sumeru Sword Pellet] also successfully helped the [Sword Body] advance to the third level.

With the blessing of this powerful [Sword Pellet], the [Sword Body] successfully condensed into the right arm armor.

Following closely behind are [Pure Yang], [Yin Yin], and [Sacrifice], each occupying one of the remaining four limbs.

The boost propelled the [Sword Body] to condense into a left arm armor and a pair of leg armors.

At this point, the entire [Sumeru Sage Body] was taking shape, with most of its core components condensed, and its power surged!
However, Jing Qian's final upgrade with the [Pangu Dao Nie Sword] was able to boost the [Sword Body]'s progress.

Currently, his swordsmanship [Spiritual Inspiration] is not high enough to reach the ninth level, which prevents his [Sword Body] from advancing to [First Grade, Ninth Rank] and achieving a stage of great perfection.

In other words, his first line of defense against the Empress's bloodline is about to fail!

After the first month of their stalemate, Jing Qian finally pushed the [Sword Body] forward another step, successfully linking it with the [Pangu Dao Nie Sword].

This [Dao Nie Sword] had already been recalled by Jing Qian from [Da Sheng Tian], and it, along with the [Sword Body], was a product of the evolution of the [Pangu Bloodline].

Moreover, both the [Living Sword] and the [Sword Body] are core inheritances of the [Eternal Life Sword Palace].

As a result, this "living sword" naturally forged its body and "sword body" into a single entity.

The Living Sword truly became the sword held in the Sword Body's hand, together forming a set of equipment with a deep binding of magical essence.

At this point, Jing Qian had reached the limit of his refinement of the [Sword Body]!

But the power of the bloodline of [Goddess Ego] is still surging forth!

Jing Qian then activated his second line of bloodline defense.

On his physical body, a pair of long, jade-like hands began to gradually turn crimson like blood.

It was as if she were wearing a pair of handguards carved from red jade.

This is the power of the [Pangu Dao Nie Sword], manifested through the [sword body].

Jingqian, this top-tier flesh and blood greatsword, possesses the attributes of a living being and is most capable of devouring bloodlines to enhance itself.

Placing it here is the perfect choice to resist the Empress's corruption, even surpassing the [Sumeru Xiang'er Sword Body]!
Jing Qian exerted all his efforts, frantically channeling the magical power bestowed by the Empress into his hands.

The situation, which was on the verge of collapse, was successfully reversed in an instant!

Jing Qian would never joke with his own life!

He dared to confront the Empress's divine might, naturally because he had sufficient backup plans to support him.

Besides the second line of bloodline defense in front of him, he has even bigger tricks up his sleeve waiting to be used.

Within the [Sumeru] dimension, the newly appointed kindergarten principal, [Good Corn], was already impatient!

It longed to plunge into Jing Qian's body and drink a few mouthfuls of Nuwa's blood for him.

For this [Void Mother Tree], this is a perfect resource for purifying mana and enhancing the essence of its bloodline.

It was absolutely drooling with envy!

Behind it, the [Feast God], [Honor God], [Sacrifice God], and [Underworld God] were already on high alert.

These four incarnations, all of the highest rank, are also products born from the [Pangu bloodline].

It also possesses an extremely strong ability to absorb bloodline power.

More importantly, with these four avatars here, even if Jing Qian really can't hold on and his main body is at risk of perishing, he can be reborn in one of the avatars.

This is the fundamental divine power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
In other words, Jing Qian has at least six lives to squander in the short term!

Jing Qian was fearless and devoured everything in sight.

However, the [God of Ego] opposite him did not show any emotional fluctuation, but simply maintained a stable output.

She was happy to see Jingqian's hard work and growth!

Or rather, this was one of her intentions all along!

In the Empress's eyes, the Pangu bloodline was hers to keep and there was no possibility of it falling into the wrong hands.

Jing Qian's current efforts to absorb the bloodline of Nuwa and strengthen the power of the bloodline of Pangu are nothing more than a wedding dress for the Empress.

When he personally takes action under the pressure of life and death, his efficiency is even higher than that of the Empress.

After all, she was the model she had personally chosen, so the Empress spared no expense in using her bloodline power.

Therefore, she not only did not stop Jing Qian's crazy antics, but even cooperated with him in a particularly good way.

During this process, the newly formed [Pangu Dao Nie Sword] also underwent a leapfrog improvement.

The moment the bloodline of Nuwa surged into the Dao Sin Sword like a torrent, its dark red blade suddenly cracked!

Just like a person's physical body, it was completely torn apart.

Pangu's golden blood gushed from the crack, clashing fiercely with Nuwa's azure blood that rushed towards them.

Two powerful bloodlines seem to be vying for control of the [Pangu Dao Nie Sword]!

The origin of Jing Qian's "Living Sword" is too strange. It was refined from the remains of a "Daoist Demon" in the "Great Abyss".

Its own position is far above [time sequence]!
It is a truly terrifying existence that can rival the power of [Transcendence].

However, after this [Daoist Abyss] received the blessing of two top-tier bloodline powers, new changes occurred. ...

While [Egao Shangdi] and Jingqian were entwined, the [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe] did not stop at all, and even accelerated.

The countdown to arriving at the [Mountain and River Map Universe] is shortening rapidly.

Bai Jun, Ren Chong, Wu Changsheng, and Zhu Yun desperately added fuel to the boiler, flooring the accelerator.

The [Primordial Chaos] firmly locked onto the starlight index of the [Mountain and River Map Universe], daring not to slacken its efforts in the slightest.

After all, in this vast void, even if two enormous universes are on different paths, they will never meet if the navigation system points them in the wrong direction.

These Pure Yang, Xuanyuan, and Shenxiao were originally fighting sects within the Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe.

Its core mission is to annihilate the enemy's forces and eliminate their resistance after igniting a dimensional war.

Unfortunately, all the logistics staff had been laid off, so the few assassins had to take matters into their own hands.

Don't be fooled by how well they seem to operate this [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle].

In fact, the situation was almost on the verge of collapse!

If the Dao Ancestors of [Nine Netherworlds] and [Starry Sky] were still alive, seeing this way of sailing the ship would probably make their Three Corpse Gods leap into a rage!

But the five killers were completely unaware of this, and even thought they were incredibly awesome!
It was the Shangqing Heaven and Xiaoyao Heaven whose lineages were complete that the two Great Masters, Yu Shu and Taixu Zi, sensed something was wrong and spoke up to warn them.

Then, the Great Master Yu Shu transmitted his voice to the five people steering the ship, saying:
"Fellow Daoists, are we not far from the [Mountain and River Map Universe]?"

Why haven't you started slowing down yet?

"..."

"?"

"Slow down? Slow down what speed?"

"Wouldn't it be better to get it over with sooner?"

Bai Jun's answer immediately broke the defenses of Yu Shu and Tai Xu Zi!

Even the usually indifferent Xiaoyaozi [Taixuzi] was startled and asked in surprise:

"Shouldn't we have slowed down a long time ago?"

"Are you really going to just ram through at this speed?"

"Are you out of your minds?"

"Damn it, if that happened, how many people in the realm would survive?"

This was the first time the five assassins had ever sailed a boat, and no one had told them to get a driver's license or anything, so they really had no experience.

In particular, the secret techniques for driving the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] were all forcibly taken from the [Dao Ancestor's Ruins], and they are not particularly complete.

This led to a rather significant oversight!
"Where should I put the brakes?"

"Quickly find a way to slow it down!"

After a flurry of chatter, the four of them finally confirmed a fact.

The [Nine Netherworlds] secret technique only involves adding fuel to the fire and stepping on the accelerator, while controlling the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] to step on the brakes seems to be a division of labor within the [Dao Yuan] lineage.

This is really a tricky situation!

Now that things have come to this, there's no time left to attack the Dao Yuan Ruins.

But then Ren Chong spoke with a hint of apology:
"I will have to trouble you two fellow Daoists, [Yu Shu] and [Tai Xu Zi]."

"The safety of this [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle], and even the survival of all living beings in my realm, depends entirely on the divine power of [Shang Qing] and [Xiao Yao]."

Each of the major Dao Ancestor lineages has its own division of labor. The ones responsible for protecting the safety of the Dao Abyss Divine Shuttle are the Shangqing and Xiaoyaotian families.

Right now, the five reckless novice drivers are treating their own [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] as a boundary-breaking divine shuttle, and are blasting it towards the [Shan He Tu Universe].

This is a catastrophe that has been created by human hands and is about to affect the safety of the entire realm!
Shangqing and Xiaoyao were the first to be affected, feeling immense pressure.

If proper protection hadn't been in place, the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] would have been subjected to the full impact of the two cosmic collisions.

It seems the Daoyuan Divine Shuttle will be buried with the Shanhe Tu.

Such a horrific thing must never be allowed to happen!
Without any hesitation, [Yu Shu] and [Tai Xu Zi] each activated the [Dao Ancestor's Legacy], the most treasured secret within their own lineages.

In an instant, a beam of azure light and a beam of jade light shot out from the sects of [Shangqing Heaven] and [Xiaoyao Heaven], directly penetrating the boundary crystal wall and beginning to spread throughout the entire [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle].

The two top-tier lineages unleashed their full potential, adding two layers of protection to the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

Among them, the [Free and Easy Shield] is on the outside, mainly deflecting, diverting, and lubricating, to wear down the impact force that directly hits the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] as much as possible.

The Shangqing Shield doesn't have many fancy features; it can only withstand and absorb all remaining impacts head-on.

If the Shangqing Shield fails to hold, the entire Daoyuan Divine Shuttle will be impacted to an unknown extent!
Just then, the Jade Book Grand Master of Shangqing Heaven suddenly transmitted his voice throughout the entire realm.

All beings with cultivation levels above the third rank, regardless of their location or status, received a message from the Great Master [Jade Book].

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

"After a hundred thousand years, I, the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle, am once again hunting through the void. This is a fortunate event for us!"

"Once the [Mountain and River Map Universe] is broken, countless opportunities will naturally arise to help fellow cultivators improve their cultivation."

"The war between the two realms is extraordinary, and it is necessary to mobilize the full strength of the entire realm in order to ensure victory."

"I humbly request that you, fellow Daoists, lend me a hand and enhance my [Innate Qi Supreme Purity Protective Array] with your [Immortal Spiritual Energy]."

"This secret formation of my sect can withstand the magical power of all of you fellow Daoists and protect the safety of my realm."

"Please, fellow Daoists, do not be stingy."

Yu Shu still gave Bai Jun and the others face.

He didn't directly expose how the group dared to start the boat when they couldn't even find the brakes.

Right now, the most important thing has become how to protect the safety of the realm.

[Shangqing] has unprecedentedly issued a mobilization order to the entire realm, truly pushed to the limit.

As this matter concerned the great affairs of the realm and the safety of everyone, after receiving the transmission from the Jade Book, regardless of their origins, the first wave of cultivators transferred their Immortal Spiritual Energy to the Shangqing Shield high above the heavens.

In an instant, the power of the entire [Shangqing Shield] was significantly enhanced.

But that's not enough at all!

More people need to participate.

[Yu Shu] was also going all out. He not only sent messages throughout the entire realm, but also began to actively seek out truly powerful cultivators within the realm, notifying them one-on-one and mobilizing them to participate in the defense of the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle].

Like the old dragon kings in the [Western Wilderness Dragon Heaven].

They resemble those few "Yanfuzi" who are bloated and fat in the "Rubik's Cube Universe".

Of course, the most important thing is the [Wuji Celestial Empire], which occupies a quarter of the world.

This Celestial Empire not only boasts a wealth of powerful individuals, but also possesses a complete system and extremely strong mobilization capabilities.

To truly safeguard the safety of the realm, their participation is essential!
Especially that incomparably powerful God, [God Ogo]!
[Yu Shu] really sent her a lot of messages, asking her to help.

……

On the planet Tianjing, the tug-of-war between Jing Qian and God E'gao continues.

A large amount of their bloodline power was perfectly absorbed by the [Pangu Dao Sin Sword].

The power of this [Dao Nie Sword] has increased by leaps and bounds.

However, as its essence gradually deepens, the speed at which it absorbs the power of Nuwa's bloodline also begins to slowly decrease.

When this [Sword of Evil] truly reaches the upper limit of the first-grade power, the second bloodline defense line will once again come to a standstill!
Just then, Jing Qian suddenly transmitted his voice and said:

"By the Empress, a great war between us and the [Mountain and River Map] universe is about to begin."

"With your strength, you are exactly the kind of help that the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] desperately needs."

“In particular, your five avatars have already taken the lead and gone ahead.”

"Why don't we put an end to this today?"

"Shall we wait until we've safely weathered the conflict with the [Mountain and River Map Universe] before discussing this further?"

"After all, without your help, the [Wuji Heavenly Dynasty] would probably run into problems."

Jing Qian has already decided to back down!

[Yu Shu] repeatedly sent messages to [E Gao Shangdi], urging her to participate in the war between the two worlds as soon as possible.

For Jing Qian, this also meant he saw a chance to escape.

The true form of [Goddess Ego] was cold and stern, staring intently at the person before him.

She had planned to spend more time slowly extracting the power of the bloodline from Jing Qian's body.

But now, a sudden change has occurred in the realm, and she doesn't have much time left!

If she doesn't take action and only suppresses Jing Qian to pursue her own cultivation needs,

If it were to truly trigger a large-scale upheaval in the [Boundless Heavenly Dynasty], it would be a major event that would damage the foundation of her destiny and divine path, with significant side effects.

After careful consideration, God Ego spoke up:
"Little Jingzi, you really are lucky."

"Since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore. Let's see just how much you can eat."

Having said that, [Goddess Ego] suddenly began to increase the output rate of her own bloodline power.

A violent surge of bloodline power, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, poured into Jing Qian's body.

Since there wasn't enough time to perfectly separate Jing Qian's Pangu bloodline, the Empress had no choice but to settle for second best and directly use the power of her bloodline to smash Jing Qian apart, taking whatever amount of Pangu flesh and blood she could get!
Faced with this terrifying magical power, Jing Qian became extremely focused.

For him, this was the final dance of a great calamity, and also one of the most dangerous moments!

Faced with the unstoppable Nuwa bloodline, he tried his best to absorb it with the Pangu Dao Nie Sword, but still felt it was a drop in the ocean.

The third line of defense based on bloodline was thus activated!

Jing Qian's six reincarnations, and even the spiritual energy of the "good corn," all transformed into a floodgate for him to unleash his "bloodline power."

But that's still not enough!

At this point, Jing Qian was completely out of ideas and had reached a dead end.

However, he was already prepared for things to have come to this point.

He calmly faced the Empress's attacks and stopped making any further moves.

Within the [Sumeru] dimension, several avatars had already made preparations to guide the revival of his physical body.

When Jing Qian's physical body could no longer withstand the erosion of the bloodline power within him, he resolutely detonated his own magical body!

At the same time, his divine sense quietly entered the space of the Life Stele and plunged into the [Coffin of Heaven and Man].

The destiny of the [Pangu Embryo] that was originally connected to him by blood and flesh was locked inside the [Coffin of Heaven and Man] by him.

Correspondingly, the Pangu bloodline within his body suddenly began to rapidly deteriorate!
The Goddess Ega was immediately alarmed and unleashed her full power to begin rescuing Jing Qian's disintegrating body.
