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

Chapter 262 The Opportunity for Ascension to Sumeru's Annihilation
For [Eyeless], successfully devouring [Lingshan Tathagata] was the most important qualitative change in his ten lifetimes of cultivation!

After this battle, his cultivation ceiling was completely opened, and he could almost surpass others and compete with his predecessors in the field of Time Sequence, such as Ghost Hair, Ren Chong, and Hunyuan.

The [Demon Buddha Wave Eye] between his brows has already taken the form of [Divine Mechanism]. He only needs to connect with the aura of the [Great Abyss] and continue to refine it to easily advance to the [Divine Mechanism] level.

Within his divine eye were stored more than thirty [Ancient Time Sequences], waiting for him to continue refining them.

Among the many competitors in this cycle of time, [Eyeless]'s cultivation progress immediately rose to the top three.

His planned journey through the Seven Treasure Tree Universe will continue to broaden his path of spiritual practice.

The arrogance emanating from [Blind] also infects [Ghost Hair] and No Money.

Logically speaking, these three people in front of us are all direct opponents in the [Time Sequence Struggle].

If it were some selfish person, not only should [Ghost Hair] and [No Money] not help [Eyeless], it would be a favor if they didn't try to sabotage him.

Naturally, they also cannot share in the substantial benefits brought by "Blindness".

Don't be fooled by the fact that the [Yanfu Dao] lineage is fragmented and unreliable; when it comes to real matters, it is quite dependable.

Whether it's "Ghost Hair" or "Eyeless," neither of them ever intended to use any underhanded tricks during the "Chronological War."

All of you are ready for a real fight!
Then [Ghost Hair] spoke:
"[Blind] If you encounter a suitable opportunity in the [Seven Treasure Tree Universe], please call upon me at any time."

“The Buddhist region is wealthy, but it is too isolated, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.”

[No Eyes] nodded and replied:
"I've reflected on myself!"

Even those without money spoke up:
"Master, if there is any chance to exchange for Immortal Remains Jade in the Seven Treasures Tree Universe, please remember to think of it for me."

"I buy back properties long-term, and offer preferential prices based on quantity!"

[Eyeless] nodded, then transformed into a streak of light, leaving the boundary and flying away into the distance.

As he flew, he slowly adjusted his magical aura.

Soon, he transformed from a great demon of the "Feast of Flesh" into a great virtuous man of the "Vajra".

【Eyeless】possesses the two great lineages of 【Lingshan】 and 【Yanfu】, and walks a very unique path of 【Demon Buddha】, with his own way of accumulating cultivation.

The remaining two, [Ghost Hair] and No Money, also went into their own cave worlds to cultivate.

These two [Yanfuzi] are both extremely reclusive men. If there's nothing going on outside, they can close the gates of their dimensional caves and cultivate until the end of time.

Jing Qian returned to the [Void Realm] and once again devoted his mind to refining the [Qingping Sword Box].

The accumulated [Holy Power of the Lord] is almost exhausted, and this [Sword Box] is about to be upgraded.

At the same time, his divine sense avatar shifted and re-entered the [Life Stele Space].

After a long time, he looked back at the [Sumeru Great Way Stele], and realized that his personal information had been updated countless times!

[Host: Jing Qian]

[Lifespan: 4150 years]

[Destiny: Fulfillment]

[Palace Department: Utopia Club]

【Nine Desolate Immortal Qi: 39*3*512】

[Titles: Honorable Title *1, Superior Grade *2]

[Time Sequence: 17]

[Dharma Image: The Sage of Mount Sumeru wielding a sword opens the cycle of six realms of reincarnation]

[Saint Bones: Heaven-Piercing Sword Bone, Heaven-Earth-Human Bone, Origin Bone]

[Divine Machine: Eye of the Age Rings, Pangu Abyss Sword, Jing Sword]

[Spiritual Inspiration: Yin Extreme, Sumeru, Pure Yang, Ritual, Qingping Sword Box, Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword]

As a cultivator at the [Heaven-Mending] level, his stats were unimaginably impressive.

Even a simple [Time Sequence] overhaul is no match for him!

If he wanted to forge the [Destiny Stele], he could ascend the immortal mountain at any time, carve nine characters, and directly ascend to the peak of the second rank.

His [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] is of high enough quality that, after a little more settling, it can once again leap to the first-grade level.

Then, take out the [Time Sequence] from the [Eye of the Year Rings], and you can truly advance to the first rank [Time Sequence].

It can be said that Jing Qian's cultivation level was entirely within his control.

Even at this point, he had been practicing Taoism for less than four hundred years!
He not only has an incredibly deep foundation, but his combat strength is also outstanding in every aspect.

They even made a very perfect plan for their future spiritual practice.

All his past efforts have been transformed into his ultimate Dao heart.

He has immense confidence in the upcoming "timeline battle"!
He then turned his gaze to the area outside the safe zone.

But there was a Buddha sitting on a golden lotus platform with twelve petals.

Jing Qian felt a surge of excitement!
Aside from the remains of the Great Buddha and the [Ancient Timeline], the divine incarnation of the [Lingshan Tathagata] before him was his most precious gain!
If he could completely annihilate the soul of this [Lingshan Tathagata], the soul power and [Buddha's] memories extracted from it would be enough to easily push his [Jing Sword] to even greater power!
If it really comes to that point, it will undoubtedly mean that his attack power ceiling has been raised to the level of being able to kill [Transcendent Five Lords].

At that time, withstanding the full force of the three sword strikes from the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor would surely be a piece of cake.

Within this space of the Life Stele, Jing Qian had slaughtered countless enemies.

The vast majority of them had a much higher cultivation level than him.

Several key enemy avatars were not killed by his sword, but were obtained by him without his knowledge.

Therefore, he has extensive experience in how to wear down enemies whose combat power far surpasses his own.

Thanks to his immortality and the fact that enemies cannot regenerate health.

He can rely on the infinite resurrection technique to release all kinds of trump cards at will and use the "old man's endurance" tactic.

As long as he can break through the opponent's defense, he is confident that he can wear them down to death!

Therefore, the [Lingshan Tathagata] before him can be considered the ladder to heaven for his ascension to the [Sequence].

He no longer needs to seek help from outside sources; he only needs to find a way to scrape away this big Buddha statue, and there is a 70-80% chance that he will achieve a breakthrough.

This generous gift from the "Blind" will save him a great deal of trouble.

Jing Qian stood in the safe zone, gazing at the [Lingshan Tathagata], his hand tightly gripping the [Pangu Great Abyss Sword].

Immediately, he ripped open the Qingping Sword Box, unleashing his natal sword energy.

The sword energy, which had accumulated an immeasurable amount of magical power, transformed into the ultimate sword light that supported the [Pangu Great Abyss Sword], and was unleashed in a single strike.

This all-out sword strike transformed into a dark golden torrent that tore through the void, roaring as it crashed towards the Buddha's image!

However, faced with this devastating blow, the Buddha image on the lotus platform did not even lift its eyelids.

The [Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform] beneath it radiates a warm and lustrous light, yet possesses an eternal charm that is untouched by time, unaffected by karma, and impervious to all laws.

On the lotus platform, each lotus petal was forged from the purest Buddhist vows, flowing with subtle and profound Buddhist patterns. *Ding!*
The torrent of sword light crashed solidly into the gentle golden Buddhist light!
The anticipated earth-shattering explosion and annihilation of the laws did not occur.

The terrifying sword light, powerful enough to cleave the barriers of the universe, vanished the moment it touched the lotus platform's Buddha light, like a mud ox sinking into the sea or a gentle breeze brushing against a rock!

The lotus platform's light rippled gently in circles of soft golden waves, like a small pebble being thrown into a calm lake.

The ripples spread outwards, carrying with them the violent sword energy and even the sharp edge of Jing Qian's will.

In an incredible way, it gently yet firmly pushes outward, guides, and dissolves!
No matter how fierce and sharp the sword light was, that seemingly thin layer of golden Buddhist light remained completely still!
Jing Qian's pupils contracted slightly; he knew that his strength was far inferior to that of [Ling Shan Tathagata].

He had never imagined that his sword strike would produce such a significant result.

But even just scratching the other person's skin would be fine!

As long as he can break through the defenses, even if he dies a thousand times, he can always extract some power from [Lingshan Tathagata].

Unfortunately, this [Twelve-Petal Golden Life Lotus Platform] is a true [Divine Mechanism], possessing top-tier defensive qualities that are unaffected by karma and indestructible through countless eons.

Jing Qian's sword was still lacking; it couldn't break through the opponent's defense at all.

He carefully assessed the defensive power of the Buddha's light, only to suddenly realize that, in his limited experience, he had only ever seen the second sword strike of the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, which activated the power of the totem, break through the lotus platform's defense.

The requirements for breaking through the defense are extremely high!
Even if Jing Qian played all his usual cards, there was absolutely no chance of him winning.

Just then, [Lingshan Tathagata] suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoist, are you a disciple of the Pure Yang School or a successor of the Yanfu School?"

"Or perhaps the [Xuanyuan] Demon Orb, or the [Changsheng] Sword Demon?"

"You guys are quite good; you actually managed to predict my death."

"I observe that this secret realm of yours, fellow Daoist, has some resemblance to the realm of the [Heart Saint]."

"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps a Nightmare of Fate who emerged from the Ruins of the Soul?"

Jingqian hung high outside the safe zone, listening to the questions posed by [Lingshan Tathagata].

The other person touched on a blind spot in his knowledge, so he immediately asked:
"Please enlighten me, Senior [Lingshan]!"

"What are you referring to as the 'Nightmare of Fate'?"

Jing Qian's reaction was different from what [Ling Shan Tathagata] had expected. The great Buddha simply closed his eyes and ignored him.

Jing Qian didn't care, as long as he could kill the giant Buddha.

All of the other party's memories will become resources for him to enrich the [Heavenly Dao Scripture].

For Jing Qian, figuring out how to kill this great Buddha was absolutely crucial!
This determined his future direction in spiritual practice.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, he began an unprecedented and great experiment!
He landed on the ground and silently closed his eyes.

At the same time, the power of the [Emperor of the Great Ruins of Sumeru] began to be squeezed out by him.

Jing Qian's [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] was a magical treasure from a sentient being that traveled through time with him.

Its true power and wonder far surpass the [Divine Mechanism] rank.

As for whether the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] or the [Totem] is superior, even with his limited perspective, he couldn't answer that question.

The space of the Life Stele where he was located was a mysterious illusion created by the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele].

For Jing Qian, this is an existence that originates from the present world, profoundly influences the present world, yet is completely separated from the present world.

Compared to the [Imaginary Ruins], the wonders of the Life Stele Space are in no way inferior.

Throughout his years of using the Life Stele Space, Jing Qian has always had a lingering, unexplained hurdle in his heart.

That is, can this Life Stele space actually bring the entire [Sumeru] dimension into existence?
Within the space of the Destiny Stele, he can easily utilize the power of the [Sumeru] dimension, making him no different from those in the real world.

However, unlike the real world, he was in the space, looking at the [Sumeru] dimension, and he had no way to control the entire dimension.

In fact, all he could see at a glance was darkness deep within the [Sumeru] dimension.

And right now, the great experiment he is about to conduct is to use the power of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] to evolve the [Sumeru] dimension!
Suddenly, he opened his divine eye between his brows, his gaze burning as if he wanted to ignite the Buddha sitting on the lotus throne.

All his conventional methods seemed so pale and powerless in the face of that indestructible [Twelve-Petaled Golden Life Lotus Platform].

The opportunity for promotion is right in front of you, seemingly within your grasp, yet it feels like an insurmountable chasm!

This deeply stimulated Jing Qian's Daoist heart, which pursued the ultimate and was never satisfied.

"Since external forces are difficult to break through, then we will break through from within!"

A hint of almost insane determination flashed in Jing Qian's eyes.

His mind sank completely into his sea of ​​consciousness, becoming intimately connected with the core essence of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele].

"[Sumeru]! Explode!"

He used all his willpower to issue the final command.

Detonate the [Sumeru] dimension that he forcibly materialized!
boom!
No sound can describe the explosion at that moment.

It was as if the sound of annihilation had suddenly rang out!

The core of the [Sumeru] dimension seemed to collapse instantly into a singularity that devoured everything.

Immediately following, an unimaginable torrent of energy, moving at a speed exceeding the speed of light by billions of times, expanded wildly outward in a spherical shape and annihilated!
Within this energy lie the most fundamental matter, energy, laws, space, and time that constitute the embryonic form of a universe...

It is the ultimate violence of "being" returning to "non-being"!

And this torrent is directed at none other than the [Lingshan Tathagata].

The so-called indestructible and untouched by karma [Twelve-Petaled Golden Life Lotus Platform] finally let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden when it came into contact with the torrent of the collapse of the [Great Ruins] seed!
Click!
Like exquisite Ru porcelain being struck by a tremendous force, fine cracks instantly spread across every petal of the lotus pedestal.

The Buddha image in the center of the lotus throne, in the face of this torrent, is like a candle flickering in the wind.

For the first time, a violent distortion appeared on that calm and serene Buddha face—the pain and rage of being crushed on a purely power level!
He attempted to stabilize the lotus platform with the supreme Buddhist teachings and suppress the collapsing torrent of the universe.

But all of this was in vain!

With the self-destruction of the [Sumeru] dimension, the world-destroying torrent unleashed by Jing Qian was beyond the ability of [Transcendent] cultivators to withstand.

If the Buddha of Lingshan were to be bathed by the Tide, his golden body would instantly collapse and perish.

All the magical power, memories, and Daoist essence that constituted His divine soul began to converge madly towards Jing Qian.

He was like a hungry glutton, beginning to devour the remnants of the Buddha.

In the present world, thick mist and haze began to swirl around the [Jing Sword] in his hand, and began to grow rapidly.

Jing Qian's gamble paid off!
He successfully killed the Buddha of Mount Ling!
It is foreseeable that he will make another breakthrough!
This great experiment to test the [Sumeru Great Way Stele] was a resounding success!
The power of the Great Dao Stele even manifested an entire [Sumeru] dimension.

Jing Qian's grand act of self-destructing the [Great Ruins] seed also caused the power of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] to fluctuate for the first time.

This was the first time he had truly felt the power of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] in operation!
