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

Chapter 242 The Secret of the Insect Mother
Others' [Sword Pellet] is a deadly weapon, extremely sharp and irresistible, unleashing maximum damage in an instant.

However, Jing Qian's [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill] has a completely different way of inflicting damage.

In terms of offensive capabilities, it is not outstanding. It is somewhat inferior to the four Immortal Slaughtering Sword Pills that are enhanced by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and the Pangu Dao Nie Sword that contains the power of Dao Nie and can be driven by the sword body.

However, as long as Jing Qian can break through the enemy's external defenses, and then use spatial magic to send this [Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pill] into the enemy's body.

That would be really awesome!

This [Sword Pellet] is comparable to an extremely terrifying malignant tumor, capable of spreading and causing havoc throughout the enemy's body.

The enemy's delicious flesh and blood, and the pure [Immortal Qi], are all good food for this [Sword Pill] to feast on, which it devours madly.

Even if the enemy has defenses in place, how can they withstand the erosion of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Even capturing this [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill] and expelling it from the body would be extremely difficult for the enemy.

This [Sword Pellet] possesses extremely strong spatial properties, allowing it to dart and shift within the enemy's body, moving like a gazelle's horns, elusive and unpredictable.

Just like the battle between Jing Qian and the [Insect Mother], whenever he goes all out and unleashes the maximum power of the [Sword Array] and [Sword Body] in a very short time, he can pierce through the [Insect Mother]'s magical protection and successfully send the [Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pellet] into the enemy's body.

He then concealed himself within the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], continuing to restrain the [Insect Mother] and allowing the [Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pill] to operate freely, frantically devouring the [Insect Mother's] flesh, blood, and magical power, disrupting the stability within her body.

In this back-and-forth battle, the [Insect Mother] had to expend enormous resources to expel the [Sword Pellet] from her body.

Despite its numerous attempts, it was unable to lock onto the agile sword pellet. In the end, it used all its magic power to force it into a segment of a limb, and only by severing its own leg could it completely expel it.

This was undoubtedly the highest output Jing Qian had inflicted on the [Mother Insect] after taking it into his life monument space!

Even though the [Insect Mother] possesses the power of [Time Sequence] and can refresh itself, Jing Qian is immortal and indestructible within this Life Stele space, at his peak condition.

The opponent sacrificed a leg to get Jing Qian's [Sword Pellet] out, but in the blink of an eye, he struck again, changing the position of the [Sword Pellet] and sending it back in.

This back and forth severely weakened the [Insect Mother], causing her to suffer a major blow for the first time in front of Jing Qian!

The [Insect Mother] had no choice but to repeat the previous process, painstakingly blocking the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill] in a corner of her body.

This time, Jingqian learned his lesson and controlled the [Sword Pellet] to only move around the most important organs of the [Insect Mother].

The Insect Mother was also a ruthless person. She directly used her magic to detonate her lower abdomen, expelling the vicious Sword Pill along with most of her liver from her body.

She then activated the power of [Time Sequence] to refresh herself, heal her injuries, and then re-engage with Jing Qian in battle.

For Jing Qian, after obtaining the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill], his combat system underwent another iteration and upgrade, and he needed to practice with the [Mother Insect]!
Moreover, the integration of the [Yanfu Dao] system with [Sword Dao] for the first time has even greater potential to be explored.

After he successfully sent the Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pellet into the body of the Insect Mother for the third time, a new experiment on the Sword Pellet began.

On the outskirts of the battlefield, six avatars quietly appeared.

This was the first time Jing Qian had brought his six avatars into battle.

After separating his cultivation of the Sword Dao and the Yama Dao, his main body's combat power has surpassed that of his six avatars.

Even though among his six avatars there are already beings at the first rank.

However, against a powerful enemy like the [Insect Mother], the six avatars, including the [Feast God], were completely useless.

This time, however, after these incarnations appeared in the world, they each used their magical power and, in the darkness, connected with the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill].

The Daoist principles of reincarnation on this [Sword Pill] are perfectly integrated with the six incarnations. Although they are separated in different places, they are still a unified whole.

Immediately, the six avatars exerted their power together, and six enormous suction forces suddenly descended upon the [Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Pill].

This [Sword Pellet] was already quite troublesome and intolerable for the [Insect Mother].

But at this moment, the suction force suddenly increased exponentially, making it even more urgent to cut it off immediately!

The malignant tumor suddenly progressed from its early stage to its terminal stage, which was truly life-threatening.

The six avatars used the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill] as a straw, drawing all their blood, flesh, and magical power from the [Insect Mother].

The relationship between [Sword Pill] and its incarnation has become that of a water pump and a motor.

With the addition of six V8 naturally aspirated engines, the power of [Sword Pill] can now truly threaten the top players at the [Time Sequence] level!
Thus, Jing Qian's [Yanfu Dao] system, after being separated, was cleverly transformed into another form and incorporated into Jing Qian's combat power system.

The [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pellet] it condenses is bizarre and ferocious. In terms of its current output capability alone, it is in no way inferior to a downgraded version of the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation].

Moreover, the growth potential of this new system is beyond doubt!
The growth of the [Sumeru] dimension, [Six Paths of Reincarnation], and the six incarnations can all directly enhance the killing power of the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pellet].

With the help of six incarnations, this kind of improvement requires almost no effort from Jing Qian.

This greatly reduced his burden of cultivation and allowed him to more directly enjoy the benefits of the six incarnations.

At this point, Jing Qian finally had the means to wear down the [Insect Mother]!
Even though the [Insect Queen] possesses the ability to refresh [Time Order], she can anchor herself to the past from within time and refresh herself with the power of time.

However, this kind of refresh is also limited; it cannot be done indiscriminately.

In terms of the extent to which the [Mother Insect] has developed [Time Sequence], it can reach as far back as a thousand years and choose a point in time as the anchor point of its own state.

However, when she casts [Refresh] for the first time, the power accumulated by [Time Sequence] will be consumed.

Further on, the past it can reach will be halved, reaching five hundred years.

If you use the "Time Refresh" function too many times in a short period of time, the past that you can access will become increasingly closer to the present.

It is necessary to continue the practice after the great battle in order to restore the original state.

Normally, the [Queen of Insects] has accumulated enough [Time Sequence] power to provide it with a sufficient safety margin, so there is no need to worry too much about the number of [Refresh] cycles.

But at this moment, it was pinned to this spot by Jing Qian, who could resurrect infinitely, and trapped in his endless relentless battle.

As a Zerg [God], the [Zerg Queen] was separated from her own followers, which already weakened her combat power.

At this point, it can neither run away nor be killed, and can only get a better status refresh from the opponent.

This caused it to begin overdrawing its own refresh count for the first time ever.

As the great battle continued, Jing Qian relentlessly tormented him with his [Sword Pill].

The [Insect Queen] began to continuously draw upon the power of [Refresh].

The past it can reach is getting closer and closer!
If this trend continues, it will eventually fall into an awkward predicament.

That is, the time anchor points it covers cannot even cross this protracted war!

At any point in the past, he was always in the midst of a major battle, and his condition was never at its best.

At that time, a single refresh will not be enough to fully restore the status.

As one thing gains and the other loses, it will become increasingly easier to trigger new [time-sequence refreshes].

Once this negative feedback occurs, utter ruin is just around the corner.

When the two masters of [Time Sequence] begin their life-or-death struggle, the true way to win is to use one's own [Time Sequence Refresh] to deplete the enemy's [Time Sequence Refresh], making them weaker and weaker until they are completely sealed away.

Just like at this moment on the main battlefield, several great sword cultivators were jointly annihilating [Xiaogong], [Ganchen], and [Dangmo].

With the continuous deaths and refreshes of the three [Mountain and River Map] time-series masters, it won't be long before they run out of resources to farm and are completely destroyed.

This is the first step in achieving a complete victory for the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

Within Jing Qian's Life Stele space, he enjoys an unlimited number of resurrection and refresh opportunities. As long as he can truly break through the [Insect Mother]'s defense, he will surely be able to completely annihilate the [Insect Mother] by extending the battle line.

At that time, the cultivation foundation of a [Time Sequence] master will be fully opened to him!
Jing Qian has extremely high expectations for this!
He became even more involved in this protracted battle.

……

At the core of the Nine Dragon Cauldron Universe, within the Myriad Dimensions Dragon Arena, and within the Dragon Battle Arena.

The three great sword cultivators finally got their fill of killing!

With the immense blessing of the burning [Pure Yang Heaven] fortune, [Thunder], [All Heavens], and [Sword Immortal] Situ Yizhong unleashed extremely terrifying power.

All the spectators who came to watch the game were cleared out.

Moreover, the three guarded this [Dragon Arena], treating the people of the [Nine Dragon Cauldron Universe] as nothing, killing them one by one without showing any mercy. These three [Sequence Gods] were truly going all out!
They disregarded the fact that they were living under someone else's roof, hiding in the enemy's "time graveyard".

Break all the taboos in [Wanweilongchang].

They've completely left themselves no way out!

【Wanweilongchang】is a true 【Tomb of Time】, a rare place where time has folded.

Moreover, among all the myriad realms, this [Myriad Dimensions Dragon Field] is almost the most famous, most prominent, and most open [Time Tomb].

Naturally, this secret realm is home to a large number of previous generations of [Time Sequence] cultivators, making it a place teeming with hidden talents and powerful figures.

A significant proportion of those interested in the battle between the three great sword cultivators and willing to personally witness it on the battlefield are naturally [Time Sequence] cultivators.

The power contained within the entire audience seating area is absolutely immense; if it were extended to the outside world, it would be enough to annihilate a Great Realm.

But at this moment, all these cultivators who had gone through countless hardships and barely managed to survive were turned into dead souls under the swords of the three, Lei Ming and his companions.

Despite their numerical superiority, they were a complete joke in front of three sword cultivators who had activated "Heroism".

Even if someone has accumulated a great deal of [Time Sequence], they will run out of [Refresh] and fall silent under the swords of the three.

Right now, the three of them are doing their best to process the spoils of their killings.

One after another, the [time sequence] was extracted from the dead audience members and shared among the three.

The auras of the three people also surged!
The three, Lei Ming and his companions, were among the strongest in their respective eras, and they had frequently scrambled for the "Time Order" from their peers on the "Chronicle of Time".

The reason why they have not transcended this state is also due to their own reasons.

Right now, they continue to consume the audience's "timeline" to empower themselves, all in the hopes of securing an opportunity to continue moving upwards.

The burning of the Pure Yang Heaven's fortune was like a shot in the arm for the three of them.

This revitalized the three figures, Chunyangzi and Xuanyuanzi, who had been dormant for many years.

Suddenly, [Situ Yizhong] spoke up:
"Nine [Sequence Gods] have arrived, including three of the top five ranked ones. It seems the [Nine Dragon Cauldron Universe] doesn't want the three of us to live!"

"How are your preparations, fellow Daoists?"

But then [Zhu Tian] said:
"It all hinges on this!"

"If you can defeat three opponents and succeed, you will transform into the [Old Days] and be able to escape this cage and prison."

"If you lose, you will die and be reborn. Find a way to live a second life."

"This is the best opportunity yet, so what are we hesitating about?"

[Thunder] had already unleashed his full sword energy, and said in the same way:

"No need to say more!"

"Just do it!"

[Situ Yizhong] laughed heartily, then said:

"Leave the three strongest ones to me. You two must win quickly and come to rescue me."

"If this succeeds, you two will owe me a big favor!"

After saying that, [Situ Yizhong] sent out seven extremely powerful [Sword Pellets], which formed a huge sword formation and swept towards the entrance of [Dragon Fighting Arena].

……

The Ryugu Universe is almost completely destroyed!
It was only two old sword cultivators, [Long Quan] and [Ma Tianyao], who were only at the first rank, who completely suppressed the ancestral court of the entire Dragon Clan.

Within the Pure Yang Heaven and the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, both Long Quan and Ma Tianyao are outliers.

The two had been cultivating for a long time, and their systems had been honed to almost the extreme. Even their [Immortal Qi] had been refined to an extremely high level, almost reaching perfection.

However, neither of them ever obtained the [Time Sequence] and never advanced to the first rank.

However, this did not affect the fact that [Dragon Power], with its first-rank strength, suppressed the entire [Dragon Palace Universe], slaying countless dragons and making the [Time-Sequence Ancestral Dragon] dare not go out.

This time, however, [Dragon Power] broke with its routine of slaying dragons, which it had maintained for tens of thousands of years, and personally entered the [Dragon Palace Universe].

At the same time, he also hired Ma Tianyao as his assistant.

He had naturally already made a clear plan!
But then [Ma Tianyao] suddenly spoke up:
“Fellow Daoist, it is indeed as you say, there is a Time Tomb in this Dragon Palace, which contains the remains of the True Dragon Ancestor.”

"The remains of the True Dragon Ancestor are yours, but this Time Tomb is mine!"

……

Jing Qian has finally defeated the [Insect Queen] completely!

He used up nearly a hundred refresh attempts on the [Insect Queen], causing it to almost completely fall silent in this great battle, unable to extricate itself.

This is a prison of time, and for a powerful being of the [Time Sequence] realm, the inability to live or die is the most terrifying thing.

In order to completely exhaust the [Insect Queen], Jing Qian died dozens of times more often than the opponent!

Fortunately, after everything settled down, it was finally time for him to reap the rewards.

Completely suppressed by him, the [Insect Mother] gradually lost the will to resist and stood there quietly, no longer fighting against Jing Qian.

Seeing this, Jing Qian spoke again:
"What do you think of the power of my new [Sword Pellet], fellow Daoist?"

"I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to give me your feedback and see if there are any oversights."

But then the [Insect Mother] spoke, and said seriously:
"Your [Sword Pellet] is truly insidious. Don't use it to kill me again; it disgusts me to the core!"

"In terms of absolute offensive capabilities, your [Sword Pellet] is just so-so and not up to par."

"At most, it can only be considered as the entry level in the first rank."

"However, the mechanism of your [Sword Pellet] is too disgusting. I have never seen anything so disgusting."

"In my opinion, your [Sword Pellet] is already enough to change the course of the war between first-rank cultivators!"

Jing Qian was quite satisfied with what the "Insect Mother" said.

This will be of great help to him in his subsequent deep involvement in the war between the two worlds.

At this moment, Jing Qian suddenly spoke again:
"Senior, as you said, I have defeated you. Will you keep your promise and answer my questions?"

In reality, Jing Qian had already prepared to completely annihilate this [Insect Mother] and seize the ability accumulated by its cultivation.

However, searching for the fragments he needed from the vast and hazy memories of the [Insect Mother] was a thankless and arduous task.

Moreover, the war between the two worlds is currently raging fiercely, and if we really go all out and get entangled with the [Insect Mother] again and again, it will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

For this reason, Jing Qian decided to personally ask the [Insect Mother] some of the most crucial questions for verification.

After hearing Jing Qian's request, [Insect Mother] had nothing to argue with.

She then spoke:
"Ask me any questions you may have!"

But after careful preparation, Jing Qian finally spoke:
"Senior [Insect Mother], I come from [Pure Yang Heaven], and my sword lineage was personally established by [Pure Yang Dao Ancestor]."

"Therefore, the aura of the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor is evident everywhere in the sect's lineage."

"I can deeply understand that the [Pure Yang Dao Ancestor] is the ultimate sword technique, with extremely strong offensive capabilities."

"But even such a powerful Dao Ancestor was completely defeated in an instant, unable to even reincarnate."

"Moreover, it wasn't just the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor; all the other Dao Ancestor lineages that Jing Qian encountered ultimately died from exhaustion."

"What kind of power could treat the Dao Ancestor like a chicken or a dog and destroy all the Transcendent beings in the entire void?"

"Does the senior have any explanation for this?"
