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

Chapter 254 Cutting Off Your Lifeline
This statue, "The Great Ocean's Disaster," is vast and boundless. It is not in human form, but rather an extremely condensed yet extremely expansive sea eye.

Its original form originated from the [Dinghaizhu Universe], and it was a [Producer] with extremely profound foundation. Within its domain, there were endless seas and countless [Life Islands].

This universe, having been planted with threads by [Tethering Silk], was harvested long ago.

All the beings in the realms were turned into puppets and devoured by the [threads].

Only the strongest [Time Sequence] remained, guarding the remains of the [Sea-Stabilizing Pearl], enduring several reincarnations, and becoming [The Old Day], ranking sixth in the [Thread-Pulling] tribulation.

Now, this [Great Ocean Calamity] is surging forth in the void, carrying boundless waves.

Within those waves, all the stars, meteorites, and numerous small realms he encountered along the way were carried along.

He arrived at the battlefield the slowest, simply because he was the most greedy!
Along the way, he swallowed everything he encountered, not even a speck of dust was spared.

Behind him, a clean isolation strip suddenly appeared in the void, as if it had been erased with an eraser.

When he finally arrived on the battlefield and saw the two incredibly powerful [Arks of the Other Shore] before him, he immediately revealed an intense longing.

This [Great Ocean Disaster] wished it could immediately transform into a tsunami, sweeping over the two [Other Shore Ships] before it, swallowing up all the living beings within and turning them into [Puppet Show].

This [Ancient One] walks the path of the [Chaos Lord] and cultivates the Innate Devouring Great Dao.

He transformed into the sea, using it as the foundation for his devouring, traversing the void and carrying out his gluttonous act of devouring everything.

In terms of strength, he is undoubtedly incredibly powerful.

In terms of the number of killings committed, he surpasses all others in the "Eight Difficulties of the Threaded Silk".

Faced with such a terrifying enemy, the Celestial Dragon felt boundless fear.

It has absolutely no chance of resisting the onslaught of the Great Ocean!

The only way to stop this sea in despair is to drain one's own true dragon energy.

Fortunately, Jing Qian's timely appearance took over this incredibly terrifying "Old Day".

Before he finished speaking, an unparalleled spiritual sword light poured forth towards the surging ocean.

……

When Jing Qian returned to the mountain, he had been completely transformed.

Having undergone its second reforging, the [Jing Sword] devoured all the hidden divine soul avatars within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The souls of seven thousand second-rank demons are considered the best nourishment for sword forging.

What a terrifying power this is!

Jing Qian's soul had already touched the boundary of "transcendence".

Having absorbed the souls and memories of so many powerful demons once again, his spiritual foundation surged dramatically once more.

The "intention" inherited from the "Kongxiang Society" is an extremely profound "totem" method.

No matter how powerful a soul is, it will be fused into one under the tempering of the "Intent Sword Book" method and then forged into a sword.

Jing Qian possessed abilities that others could not, and successfully accumulated an extremely terrifying spiritual power.

It is natural that a supreme [Heart Sword] can be forged!
The [Jing Sword] was successfully refined for the third time, and once again entered the [Transcendence] rank, its power far surpassing that of the past.

Jing Qian held the Life Stele within its space and successively slew four [Time Sequence] beings.

Faced with this supreme sword of the mind, even powerful forces like [Xiaogong] and [Dangmo] are completely powerless to resist!

The [Intent] method focuses on attacking the soul and is one of the most insidious and difficult-to-defend offensive methods in the cultivation world.

Even with the major overhaul of the [Time Sequence], without a sufficiently strong mental defense, one simply cannot face Jing Qian's mental sword.

The attrition of the four [Time Sequence] divine soul avatars allowed Jing Qian to regain his confidence and sweep away the bad luck of being killed by [Pure Yang]'s sword.

He extracted an incredibly rich collection of cultivation memories from the souls of [Insect Mother], [Xiao Palace], [Gan Chen], and [Demon Slayer].

Finally, all the refining methods for the three thousand layers of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] were completed.

At this juncture, Jing Qian reflected on the Pure Yang sword strike he had received and realized that he was still far from being good enough!

He still lacked the confidence to break through the barrier of the Immortal Qi Mountain and advance to the first rank.

On the path of ascension he chose, to advance to the [Time Sequence] level, he must defeat [Pure Yang] head-on!
What an incredibly bizarre promotion requirement!
No one else would have ever taken this step.

This is the insurmountable barrier that [Da Yuan] has set up for all the prodigies.

It's enough to make everyone obediently stay on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi] and become the embryos of the [Immortal Jade].

But Jingqian completely disbelieved in superstitions!

He chose to go down a dark path, determined to turn the impossible into possible and shatter this insurmountable barrier head-on!
This process requires him to have a deeper level of experience.

In other words, he needs the help of more good friends!
When he emerged from seclusion, the [Great Ocean Calamity] he faced was his first new and good friend who helped him ascend to immortality!

……

Boundless light shines forth, facing the vast ocean!
The magical powers of one [Heaven-Mending] and one [Ancient Day] clashed fiercely on an unseen level.

This is a silent battle taking place at the level of consciousness and spirit.

Despite being a duel between people of unequal cultivation levels, it felt like a battle of equal strength and a thrilling spectacle!

The [Jing Sword] underwent its third reforging, fusing the souls of seven thousand great demon gods and devouring the memories of four [Time Sequence] beings. Its sharpness had already reached the [Transcendence] level.

At this moment, it is no longer a simple magic weapon, but an extension of Jing Qian's will, a manifestation of his Daoist heart that defies the heavens.

The light of the Heart Sword is formless and intangible, yet it contains a terrifying power to sever cause and effect, extinguish thoughts, and reshape cognition.

He pierced the depths of the heart of the "Great Ocean Disaster," a heart shrouded in endless resentment, immeasurable karma, and densely packed "threads," like a scorching hot iron plunged into viscous ointment.

The two sides are clearly of vastly different sizes.

Unfortunately, the opponent had no way to defend against Jing Qian's sword.

From the very core of this boundless, all-consuming chaotic sea of ​​water came a scream that distorted the surrounding void!
This is the intense magical tremor caused by the pain of [Great Ocean Disaster]'s consciousness being completely torn apart.

【The Great Ocean's Disaster】The extremely condensed core of the ocean eye began to fluctuate violently.

It sensed an unprecedented threat!
This tiny ant that mended the heavens was able to severely scorch its divine soul foundation, which it had forged by fusing with the origin of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl Universe, going through countless reincarnations, and devouring countless living beings!
This fundamentally undermines the very foundation upon which the "Great Ocean Difficulty" exists.

This triggered the boundless rage of the Great Ocean Disaster!
Its greedy instinct, ignited by intense pain, transformed into an even more ferocious desire for destruction.

The chaotic seawater instantly boiled and twisted, transforming into billions of ferocious tentacles.

Each tentacle flickered with an extremely venomous curse, sweeping towards Jing Qian and the [Other Shore Ark] behind him.

[Da Hai Nan] has already discovered that if it comes down to a contest of pure mental strength, he is completely at a disadvantage and is no match for Jing Qian.

He promptly adjusted his strategy, ceasing his struggle for the heart and his entanglement with Jing Qian.

Instead, he began to fully immerse himself in the material world, unleashing his murderous intent towards Jing Qian onto the two [Other Shore Arks].

He withstood Jing Qian's mental attack thanks to his high health and defense.

At the same time, he plans to fully invade the two [Other Shore Ships], forcing Jing Qian to come to the mortal world for a final battle!
As for Jing Qian, he sensed the difficulty of the "Great Sea" choice from the very first moment.

Yet he remained unwavering, continuing to delve deeper into the depths of the other's heart and strike.

If we perceive the existence of the "Great Ocean Difficulty" from a spiritual perspective...

This "Old Days" statue is like a stenchy sea of ​​blood.

Countless acts of killing and evil thoughts had long been gathered within his soul.

Even with his inner light and sword energy, capable of cutting through waves and parting the sea, he was still powerless and had not yet achieved a decisive victory.

It only caused immense suffering to this "Great Ocean Disaster"!
Now, the battle situation is about to change. If Jing Qian is unable to stop it in time, the [Great Ocean Calamity] will invade the territory.

Then his act of taking the initiative to confront the "Old Days" will turn him into a clown.

Jing Qian dared not be negligent in the slightest and squeezed out all his resources.

The method of "Intent Sword Book" has been put into its ultimate state!
Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the sophistry of the [Insect Mother], the resilience of the [Sky Palace], the vastness of [Gan Chen], and the fierceness of [Demon Slayer] all converged into one person.

The memories of the four [Time Sequence] spirits were forcibly activated and burned by Jing Qian!
This time, the sword light was no longer scattered into countless strands, but condensed to the extreme, transforming into a hazy gray sword thread purely formed from the meaning of "severing thoughts," "breaking illusions," and "annihilation."

【Heart Sword - Severing Thoughts】!
This is the secret transmission of [Totem], the true essence of [Intent]!

The sword threads, though as fine as gossamer, contain the ultimate sword principle of severing all consciousness and ending all thoughts.

Without any earth-shattering collision, the sea of ​​blood, swept by the hazy gray sword threads, suddenly parted!
With his profound knowledge and skills, Jing Qian pierced through the core of the "Great Ocean Difficulty" with a single sword strike.

This is the true power that a Heart Sword of the Transcendent level should possess!

He suddenly unleashed his magical power, severely damaging the mind of [Da Hai Nan]. However, to truly win, he must press his advantage and completely destroy the opponent's mind!
Without hesitation, Jing Qian enveloped his divine sense with the light of his mind sword and charged towards the spiritual world of [Da Hai Nan].

He wanted to personally shatter the enemy's mind and completely annihilate their existence!
……

The "Eight Difficulties of Pulling Silk" actually involved nine people. Apart from Jing Qian, the battles on the other eight battlefields were equally intense!
To refine your ninth tribulation, you must use the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle instead of the Mountain and River Map!

The two sides in the conflict have irreconcilable differences, making it a situation of no return.

Each [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle]'s [Time Sequence] is pushing its own potential to the limit.

Faced with a terrifying enemy who had cultivated for far longer and whose magical power was far greater than their own, no one retreated; they all fought hard to win.

However, the situation on these eight battlefields is not optimistic because the [Eight Difficulties of Pulling Silk] has a deeper foundation!
Even someone as powerful as [Bai Jun] only managed to gain a slight advantage in his battle against [Pipa Nan].

However, as the strongest member of the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle, if even he cannot achieve a quick victory, then as time goes on, the battle situation will inevitably deteriorate.

After all, among these eight battlefields, only [Bai Jun], [E Gao Shangdi], and [Gui Mao] have a slight advantage.

The remaining five battlefields are all more treacherous than the last!
Especially Zhu Yun, Wu Changsheng, Yuan Yang, and Yu Qian, the four of them have not been cultivating for very long, and their advancement in the [Sequence] stage is less than a hundred years!
Even when they join forces, they see no chance of victory against their old enemies, and are constantly at risk of defeat and collapse.

In this great battle, the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle left no backup plan except for an old, weak dragon.

No one participating in the battle can afford to lose!

If even one person is defeated, the situation will undoubtedly collapse completely!
……

For the entire Great Abyss Void, the life-or-death struggle between the two Great Devourer universes is a momentous event with far-reaching implications.

Needless to say, the [Puppet Universe] is the most disgusting and insidious organization in this void.

They infiltrate the enemy's ranks using "threads" to manipulate puppets, sow discord, and instigate color revolutions in order to carry out aggression.

Ultimately, they will devour all the occupied territories, leaving not even a trace.

It's no exaggeration to say that "Puppet Show" is the enemy of the universe!

As for their opponent, the [Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe] has been silent for many years and has never made a sound.

However, any realm with a history of over 100,000 years is unaware of the power of the former [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

At that time, the Ten Ancestors of Daoyuan rode a divine shuttle, darting back and forth in the void.

Any realm that blocks their path, no matter how powerful, is smashed and swallowed whole.

They take pleasure in entering and exiting the Great Abyss and capturing Dao Sins, which is extremely terrifying!
It seems that the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle is about to make a comeback.

If it weren't for the intervention of [Puppet Show], and [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] had truly turned the tables, the survival of the many [Producer] universes would undoubtedly have been even more difficult!
For many producer universes, it would be best if these two devourer universes could fight each other to the death.

With two major scourges eliminated from the entire Abyss, everyone's lives will undoubtedly be much easier. Of course, with the two Devourer universes so evenly matched, the vast majority of observers are just that—observers.

However, there are always some highly skilled and daring individuals who have the idea of ​​taking risks and risking their lives.

Almost at the height of the great war, three [Devourer] universes emerged from their [Ancient] existences and headed towards this place.

Whether it's the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle] or the [Pulling Silk Thread]...

Even the ultimate winner will face even greater challenges!
……

All the changes in the outside world could not disturb Jing Qian, who was fully engaged in the battle.

When the gray sword threads pierced through the core of the [Great Ocean Disaster]'s spiritual world, he successfully entered it.

What comes into view is a frozen, upside-down, endless ocean!
This place is not the desolate and filthy place I had imagined.

Yet the bizarre and magnificent scene still far exceeded my imagination!
In this strange sea, every drop of "seawater" reflects a soul that has been annihilated.

The distorted faces of countless living beings rise and fall, frozen in time, forming a grand and despairing "sea of ​​death".

Supporting this upside-down Dead Sea are countless thick, pitch-black threads that writhe with red light.

This is both the core element supporting the ancient status of [Da Hai Nan] and the absolute shackle that [Qian Si], the great god, controls this [ancient]!

At the very center of the Dead Sea, an exceptionally thick and long "tethering thread" extends infinitely from the mind of "Da Hai Nan," its end invisible.

Jing Qian's divine sense transformed into a human form, holding the [Jing Sword], standing on this frozen dead sea, his gaze like lightning, locking onto the thick [Tethering Thread].

[Eternal Eye in a Fleeting Moment] unleashed its full power, gazing in the direction of [Threads].

There stood a transcendent deity, high above the heavens, immersed in the waters of the Great Abyss, looking down upon the chaos and turmoil of the present world.

This [thread] before us is the crucial support that helps the [Thread] God anchor himself, allowing him to escape the [Abyss]'s devouring power.

If it weren't for these "Eight Tribulations of Pulling Silk," perhaps the Great God of Pulling Silk would have long since sunk into the depths of the "Great Abyss," like the other "Five Lords of Transcendence," obliterating all souls.

In other words, this thick "thread" is the lifeblood of the "Thread God"!
Seemingly sensing that the intruder had touched the most core forbidden zone, the entire frozen mental world suddenly "came to life".

The upside-down Dead Sea unleashed towering waves, and every desperate face in the "seawater" emitted a silent shriek, converging into a storm of resentment that tore apart the soul.

The [Threads] chains, like giant sea serpents, carry the [Chaos] power that annihilates all life, strangling and killing from all directions.

However, when it comes to the control of the power of consciousness alone, no one can compare with the successor of [Intent]!
Jing Qian's eyes were icy cold as he continued to frantically operate the Heart Sword technique, a secret technique passed down in the "Intent Sword Book".

Then, he merged with his sword, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that shot out!

The sword light pointed directly at the center of the Dead Sea, at the [thread] connecting heaven and earth!
This [Great Ocean Disaster] thinks it has high HP and defense, and can withstand Jing Qian's output, attacking the area that Jing Qian must save.

When it falls into Jing Qian's hands, he will naturally be able to find the lifeblood of the [Pulling Silk] and sever it with his own hands!
He transformed into a sword of the heart, ignoring all the surging waves of resentment, like a stabilizing needle piercing through illusion, carrying the true meaning of "intention" to sever everything, and resolutely stabbed at that thick "thread"!
"Buzz!"

Beneath the sword light, a vast, cold, and indifferent will, overlooking the eternal cycle of reincarnation, descended upon the thick [thread].

That was a wisp of gaze cast by the great god [Thread of Connection], separated by the endless void and the barrier of [Great Abyss]!
This single glance caused the light of Jing Qian's transformed heart sword to dim abruptly.

The Great God of [Silk] has been immersed in the [Great Abyss] for so long that even a stubborn rock would be thoroughly permeated by the magic power of the [Great Abyss].

His power of "transcendence" has long since been completely washed away!

In other words, he had already received enough [totem] power to refine him, achieving a half-step [Other Shore]!
When Jing Qian personally slashed at [Qian Si], intending to sever one of the fundamental anchor points of the [Qian Si] God.

This naturally prompted the great master of [String of Silk] to personally take action.

Through the thoughts transmitted by the [threads], he possesses the power of half a step towards the [other shore].

Once it appeared deep within the consciousness of the "Great Ocean Disaster," it took root and flourished.

Immediately, it began to frantically erode and assimilate the consciousness of the "Great Ocean Disaster".

The previously loose consciousness of "the great ocean's troubles" began to reorganize itself with this thought of "pulling threads".

The core essence that had been severely damaged by Jing Qian and was on the verge of collapse was visibly calmed, solidified, and reorganized under the forceful suppression and assimilation of this higher-level will.

Jing Qian has successfully forced the master of [Pulling Silk] to personally take action!
Right now, he is about to sever the lifeline of the [Thread-Pulling] God, despite the God's full obstruction.

For him, there was nothing more exciting or exhilarating than this!

The appearance of the master of 【牵丝】 did not deter him at all; on the contrary, it aroused his true ferocity.

Jing Qian completely abandoned all restraints and began to unleash a frenzied barrage of mental sword light.

Numerous sword lights converged into a gigantic dragon of the mind, coiling and circling around the [thread].

During this process, Jing Qian clearly saw that the descending [Tethering Silk] will, though incomparably powerful, was like a rootless duckweed.

It needs to rely on the core essence of the "Great Ocean's Difficulty" to exist and exert its power, which is itself a kind of "grafting" and "parasitism".

The core of [Da Hai Nan] has just been severely damaged by Jing Qian and is at the most vulnerable point, with intense conflict between the old and new wills and violent fluctuations in its primordial power.

"The weakness... is right here!"

Jingqian's soul captured that fleeting glimmer of hope!

"Break!"

Under the sword light of the mind, the core essence of [Da Hai Nan], which had been forcibly kneaded and reorganized by [Qian Si], collapsed completely from the inside, as if the most crucial supporting pillar had been removed!

The half-step [Other Shore] will that had just arrived, was frantically assimilating and using this as its source of power, seemed to have its ground suddenly pulled away, letting out a shriek of shock and anger!

Its power instantly lost its foundation, becoming chaotic and out of control.

The [Tethered Silk] that had been firmly protected behind him was now fully exposed to Jing Qian.

"It's now!"

Jing Qian gathered all his strength and will, transforming it into a sword light as thin as a hair, and unleashed it with all his might.

There were no obstacles, no delays.

Like a red-hot iron wire cutting through solidified grease.

The incredibly thick thread, connecting to the heavens and symbolizing the vital lifeline of the [Thread of Connection] deity, snapped instantly.

Jing Qian looked up and saw that deep within the Great Abyss, the figure of the Thread-like creature immersed in it let out a huge wail due to the complete severing of its life force.

As the executioner who personally severed the lifeblood of the "Tethering Silk," Jing Qian felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure welling up in his heart!

The breakage of this single thread has extremely significant consequences.

He practically helped [Da Hai Nan] break free from the control of the [Qian Si] god.

Without this source, the "Tethering Thread," the power of the "Other Shore" could not be transmitted in, and the independent consciousness of the "Great Ocean's Difficulty" actually broke free from the blockade and regained consciousness.

Immediately, all of [Da Hai Nan's] attack methods ceased.

He stood quietly on the battlefield, silently recuperating.

The changes we are witnessing are unprecedented in the entire [Puppet Show] universe.

No one has ever been able to truly escape the control of the [Thread-Pulling] God and awaken their divine consciousness anew.

It should be understood that this "thread" is an important component in maintaining the former status of "Da Hai Nan".

Now, without the [Tethering Threads], his magical power has plummeted, and he has begun to fall from his [Former] rank.

However, [Da Hai Nan] didn't care about this at all; he was only focused on sorting out his memories.

Suddenly, after a long silence, [Da Hai Nan] abruptly spoke:

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist! I am finally free!"

"My name is Yuanhai, and I am the last guardian of the Dinghai Pearl Universe..."

"I never imagined that I would become a slave to the [Threads] and personally destroy the [Sea-Stabilizing Pearl Universe]."

"He is also the sinner who personally destroyed Jieyu Aimei.com."

That heavy, hoarse sound, like echoes reverberating from the depths of the ocean, reverberated across the battlefield.

"It's ridiculous that all my teachers and mentors died because of my own assassination."

"My hatred for that [Silk-Pulling] God runs deep, an unending feud!"

Having awakened his consciousness, [Yuan Hai]'s deepest consciousness is filled with memories that cause him immense pain.

Most of the people closest to you are killed by your own hand.

The realm that gave him birth and nurtured him was used as resources for his cultivation and was entirely sacrificed to the Great God of Threads.

At this moment, the large and small threads that had already deeply merged with the [Abyss Sea] and filled the depths of his mind seemed to realize the liberation of his mind.

This force suddenly triggered a self-destruction!
The Great God of [Threads] would absolutely not tolerate a [Threads of Eight Tribulations] slipping out of his control.

Especially when the fundamental "connecting thread" has been severed, leaving him without an anchor point.

The backup plan he left in the [Abyss Sea] of consciousness has now fully erupted.

The boundless [Threads of Connection] exploded, and along with [Great Ocean Calamity]'s soul, it was instantly blasted into fragments by the [Threads of Connection].

[Yuan Hai], who had only been awake for a moment, perished!

This pitiful "Ancient One," from its birth to its demise, never once controlled its own destiny, not even for a single day.

The explosion of the soul is only the first step in the [Thread Pulling] technique!
After the soul was destroyed, all the [threads], in a chain reaction, spread towards the remaining body of [Da Hai Nan], and began to detonate his remaining shell as well.

It is known that the body of this "Great Ocean Calamity" has swallowed countless substances.

As his enormous body began to explode from the [threads], a terrifying natural disaster erupted.

Let alone the "Great Ocean Disaster" itself!

The other eight battlefields in the vicinity, and even the two [Arks of the Other Shore] further away, will inevitably be directly affected.

[Tethered Silk] When the life-root is severed, it is precisely the moment when evil influences take hold.

His remote triggering of the "Great Ocean Disaster" was his means of revenge prepared for Jing Qian.

Once Jing Qian can no longer hold on, then all will naturally come to an end.

But in Jingqian's view, the "vast ocean" before him was a hard-won friend he had made.

How could he allow his friend's enemies to wreak havoc on this vast sea he left behind?

It would be best to leave it for him to keep himself!
Before anyone knew it, Jing Qian's six avatars had quietly appeared around the remains of the Great Ocean Disaster.

They formed a six-pointed star shape, firmly enveloping this unique seascape.

As the consciousness of [Da Hai Nan] perished, his physical body fell into silence.

The six avatars, including the [Feast God] and the [Sacrifice God], suddenly unleashed tremendous magical power.

A void rift extended and connected each of them.

Then, these six avatars began to manipulate and drive these void rifts, sweeping towards the endless ocean in front of them.

The all-consuming "Great Ocean of Misfortune" ultimately met its end, being devoured by others.
