Immortality begins with meditation puppets

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

Above the crimson moon, the Demon of Reincarnation was inspecting his troops with great pride.

The first row of its throne consisted of forty-two sixth-order demons, six more than the thirty-six it had expected. This was because the resources of creation in this divine realm were more abundant than it had imagined, allowing it to nurture so many sixth-order demons in just a few hundred years.

After the forty-two sixth-order demons, there were three hundred and eighty-eight fifth-order demons, about ten times their number, followed by tens of thousands of fourth-order demons, third-order demons, and so on.

This army was far larger than the one it had assembled in the Abyss Secret Realm. The Reincarnation Demon thought to itself that if it could defeat Su Qing this time, completely master the Reincarnation Dao Pattern, and advance to the rank of Heavenly Demon General, it could use this Divine Realm as its demon nest and army-raising base, and the Abyss Secret Realm as its foundation. The Reincarnation Demon might not necessarily have to follow the Demon Buddha's lead. It could set up its own flag and go it alone.

All of this will have to wait until today's battle determines the victor.

Looking down, one could see that under the red moon, the divine puppets and other creatures that were determined to fight against the Demon of Reincarnation were no weaker than the forces it had gathered.

This made the Reincarnation Demon, who had been full of pride and even wanted to go straight out of the Red Moon and take the initiative to kill the ground, feel a chill. He immediately ordered his demon subordinates to be patient and restrained and not to act rashly.

"Red Moon is our home ground. We have the advantage of fighting here. How can we give up our advantage and go to fight on an away field? Listen to my command and activate all arrangements!"
This time, I will ensure they never return, wiping them all out. Then, except for Su Qing, the bodies of all other gods and beings will be at your disposal, either possessed or devoured, transforming this world into my demonic paradise!

At the command of the Reincarnation Demon, Su Qing and the others below saw layers of black smoke and clouds suddenly shroud the red moon in the sky, hiding the entire red moon and plunging the whole world into chaos and darkness.

"These are mere tricks, don't bother with them. Just listen to my instructions. As long as we complete our respective missions, we will surely be victorious this time!"

The mighty thunder dragon circled in the sky, while Su Qing made final preparations for the final battle.

"Gao Erqiang, leading his group of True Lords and True Men, who are now the guardian deities under Erqiang, will combine with the nine sixth-order puppets that I have refined for everyone over the years to form a divine battle team."

Tiger Egg and Bear Two each led two series of giant soldiers and bear king soldiers, totaling 126 fifth-order puppets, to form the Bear-Tiger Assault Team.

The primary mission of the Divine Spirit Squad and the Bear Tiger Assault Team is to break through the Red Moon barrier, lead the charge into the Red Moon, establish a foothold, and provide a passage for the main legion to enter the Red Moon.

Once the Divine Spirit Team and the Bear Tiger Commando Team made a breakthrough, Qi Tianyang led over a thousand fourth- and fifth-tier puppeteers to control a mechanical puppet army to enter the field. From the sky to the ground, they suppressed the demons with firepower, cooperating with the Divine Spirit Team and the Bear Tiger Commando Team to hold the line.

Afterwards, the Dragon God General A-San, who had been reborn as a puppet and given a second life, led the Dragon Cavalry into the arena. Following him, the Shadow Legion, the Demon Suppression Legion, and the Divine Weapon Legions controlled by all Divine Weapon Masters of the second rank and above in this realm entered the arena in turn.

Remember, your most important task is to prevent the demons under the command of the Reincarnation Demon from interfering with my battle with the Reincarnation Demon.

This battle is a continuation of the unfinished war between me and the Reincarnation Demon that began in the Abyss Secret Realm. The key to victory lies with the Reincarnation Demon and me. As long as I eliminate the Reincarnation Demon, the remaining demons in this world will find it difficult to cause any more trouble!

Su Qing did not say what would happen if he failed to kill the Reincarnation Demon.

Because everyone on the field understood that if he were to lose to the Demon of Reincarnation, everyone who fell into this realm would only perish and disappear, their souls devoured and their bodies taken over by the evil demon.

The True Lords and True Men who came from all the heavens and the mortal realms to provide support, including Gao Erqiang, were all somewhat excited and nervous at this moment, because they had never experienced a battle of this scale in the mortal realms before.

The disciples of the major sects, including True Lord Guangxian, repeatedly asked themselves why they would give up the great path to enlightenment in the world and celestial realms and gamble their lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years and infinite possibilities on this one battle.

But then he thought about how much they could gain if they won this battle. This was a tremendous opportunity that they could not obtain even if they cultivated for another 100,000 or 200,000 years in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Gao Erqiang looked down on this kind of anxious and hesitant mentality. However, he looked down on Gao Erqiang because he had been tested by blood and fire all the way and was a tough guy who had fought his way through countless life and death battles. He was not afraid of any challenge.

But he couldn't understand why Wei Debao, Yao Guangquan, and the others weren't afraid at all!

As their chief god, Wei Debao and his ilk could not be like the Great True Lord, who had the ability to shield them from his thoughts. Gao Erqiang knew all their secrets.

Wei Debao's inner thoughts: What a loss! What a loss! If I had known that this would be such a great benefit, I should have brought all seventy-two nephews and nieces with me. If they had just enjoyed this great opportunity once, they could have cultivated in bed ever since. Even if I went to the underworld, I would have been able to face my sister and brother-in-law with a clear conscience!

Yao Guangquan's inner thoughts: I was too conservative. I clearly know that following Su Qing's investment strategy, buying and investing blindly, is the only way to maximize returns. But this time, I couldn't bear to sell all three mines in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. I only withdrew all the working capital to buy some equipment. I wonder how much merit I can accumulate this time, and whether it will allow me to obtain the fortune of a fourth-tier Nascent Soul? Sigh, compared to the tens of thousands of years of lifespan required to achieve Nascent Soul, what are spirit stones and mines?

Liang Haishun's heartfelt words: I had Asu specially customize array puppets for me. This time, I must properly showcase the splendor of the Liang family's array formations and revitalize the Liang family. It is our duty.

Wang Houzi's inner thoughts: So what if I die? Anyway, I left behind descendants in the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. With Su Zhenjun's benevolence, even if I perish in this realm, once he returns, with his protection, no one will be able to bully my children.

Li Hailang's inner thoughts: Hehehe, my Langtian Gang is back! The puppeteers in this world are actually quite nice. They helped me refine a batch of underworld puppets according to my requirements. They are all ruthless and vicious, and most importantly, they are of one mind with me, their leader. I declare that this battle will be the battle to vindicate my Langtian Gang and make a comeback!
Very good, very energetic, not afraid at all. As expected of the tough guys who, like Erqiang, have been led by Su Qing and experienced life and death time and time again!
While Erqiang was focused on the mindset of Zhutian Zhenjun and Wei Debao, Su Qing paid more attention to the state of these puppeteers in the Divine Realm.

Seeing that although they all showed signs of tension, their eyes were extremely firm, he immediately sensed their resolve and felt much more at ease. This was because the strength of these people's beliefs not only affected the overall situation but also determined whether he could defeat the Demon of Reincarnation.

"For the sake of the divine realm, for the sake of our loved ones who perished at the hands of demons, and for the sake of our future generations who will no longer be harassed by demons, we will risk our lives and give our all to fight the demons to the death!"

Someone shouted something, and then throughout the entire realm of spirits, in all directions, on land and underwater, in countless corners, people joined in the shout.

Amidst these shouts, Gao Erqiang led the Divine Spirit Team, and Xiong Erhudan led the Xiong Hu Commando Team, taking the lead in fleeing towards the Red Moon.

As soon as they entered the dark clouds and mist, Gao Erqiang and Hu Dan both sensed that something was wrong.

This is because the dark clouds and mist not only contain countless evil spirits and demons released by demons, but also have other effects.

The Bewitching Demonic Light, when it shines on True Lords and True Men, doesn't cause much of a problem; at most, it makes their divine consciousness fluctuate slightly. However, if it shines on puppets or divine weapons, it will immediately disrupt the connection between the puppet's and the puppeteer's divine consciousness, giving the evil spirits an opportunity to take advantage.

The Cycle of Reincarnation is hidden in the mist, but anyone who accidentally falls into it will be swept into the turbulent currents of reincarnation and sent out of the battlefield, unable to contribute any more. It is a divine skill for clearing out soldiers, and it is only because the Cycle Demon came up with it.

These two methods were never used by the Reincarnation Demon in the past, so that the God Team and the Bear Tiger Commando Team suffered a small loss as soon as they entered.

Wei Debao, Yao Guangquan, and others, who were preparing to make a big splash, fell into a vortex of reincarnation before even encountering the evil spirits and were transported to an unknown location. Fortunately, they were not bad off because they were bound to Erqiang, who could use the divine power link between the main god and the guardian god to pull them back. They were only temporarily disconnected.

Once the puppet soldiers led by Xiong Er and Hu Dan fall into the vortex of reincarnation, they are permanently disconnected and can never be retrieved. The bewitching demonic light also poses a great threat to the puppet soldiers. Obviously, the reincarnation demon also knows that the teams organized by Su Qing are mainly composed of puppet soldiers, and all means are focused on attacking the puppet soldiers.

It underestimated Xiong Er, but when it saw Xiong Er's body radiating Buddhist light and his mouth reciting the six-character mantra of Buddhism, it used the Buddha's wonderful method and boundless Buddhist light to instantly break through the black smoke and mist and open a golden road, allowing the God Spirit Team and the Bear Tiger Assault Team to advance to the edge of the Red Moon's surface with almost no obstacles.

Here, the Reincarnation Artifact uses the blood-red aura accumulated over countless years in this world to form a sea of ​​desire, completely enveloping the entire Red Moon. To enter the Red Moon, one must pass through this sea of ​​desire.

Gao Erqiang took the lead and was the first to enter. He felt as if he had entered this sea of ​​desires. Every moment, countless emotions were churning in his mind: to live or to die, to fight or to give up, joy or sorrow, hope or despair, love or hate, pain or pleasure...

Each emotion is a collection of a certain type of emotion from countless living beings. Extreme to the extreme, it is like a knife that kills without drawing blood, causing people's moral compass to collapse and their minds to become confused.

Only Erqiang's heart was as firm as iron, and he was not affected by these extreme emotions. As for the famous masters of great sects such as Guangxian Zhenjun, they had also carried out special training in maintaining their Dao heart since the beginning of their cultivation and have persisted to this day, so they were not greatly affected.

However, others—Demon Lords, Demon Sect cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators, and rogue True Lords—have never focused on cultivating their Dao Heart on their path of cultivation. Faced with this sea of ​​desire, they are easily bewitched and confused, their minds and souls turned upside down, risking the collapse of their Dao Heart.

At this moment, True Lord Guangxian sent out the Fairy of Qinse to use the music of this sixth-order puppet to help the cultivators stabilize their minds and assist them in crossing the red sea and landing on the red moon.

Upon landing, they were immediately confronted by the Thirty-Six Heavenly Demon Heads Formation set up by thirty-six sixth-order demons.

To Gao Erqiang, it seemed as if an endless stream of demons were rushing towards him, and no matter how he killed or destroyed them, these demons were inexhaustible.

During this process, demons kept tearing at his divine power, eroding his strength, which made him furious. The three eyes on his forehead shone with golden light, and he immediately saw the sixth-order demons hidden behind the demons. Without any hesitation, Erqiang was already fighting against five or six sixth-order demons in the formation.

Another equally powerful figure is Tiger Might True Monarch Tiger Egg, who has reached the sixth-level True Monarch with his swordsmanship. At this moment, Tiger Egg is using the Shangqing Sword Technique, and his offensive sharpness is the best among his peers. His sword light splits into countless branches, stretching like the sea. No matter how many demons there are, none can match the number of his sword lights.

Its true form holds the Sword of the Staff in its left hand and the Yuan Tu Sword in its right. On its nine tails are nine acquired spiritual swords given to it by its master, the Three Sheep True Lord. Logically speaking, Tiger Egg could have used these nine acquired spiritual swords to make puppets for Su Qing, but it did not do so, and Su Qing did not ask for it. There is only one reason for this: these nine acquired spiritual swords are more useful in its hands than a few more sixth-order puppets.

And indeed, in a mere instant, Tiger Egg unleashed its nine tails and nine swords simultaneously, its boundless and unstoppable sword intent annihilating a sixth-tier demon. The two strong were stunned, not expecting Tiger Egg to achieve victory even faster than them.

After the first level six demon was killed, the remaining demons also noticed how powerful Tiger Egg was. Instantly, seven or eight demons were attracted by Tiger Egg and surrounded it.

Xiong Er was neither as brave as Gao Erqiang nor as ferocious as Hu Dan. While taking on the attacks of two or three sixth-level demons, he kept chanting Buddhist scriptures and still had the energy to use Buddhist light to protect his teammates from being invaded by the demons.

With just this one god and two puppets, they took over about half of the sixth-tier puppets in the formation, and the others could not just stand by and watch.

Shi Lijing had released the Tengshe and Xuangui, two sixth-order puppets, early on. One released Taiyin Xuan Light, and the other released Chunyang Yanhuo, burning and killing countless demons. He seemed to hear the sound of merits being settled, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Zhongze Zhenjun, who was fighting alongside him, was green with envy. However, he had also killed quite a few enemies. Although he did not have the help of a sixth-order puppet, his Dongwang Sect had many treasures. He held a five-colored treasure fan and unleashed five-colored true fire. He was able to fight against a sixth-order demon without being at a disadvantage.

The most outstanding one was Liu Gandang, or more precisely, his Seven Killings Star of Calamity. When this puppet looked at someone, a long stream of calamity and death shot out. It was so powerful that anyone who stared at it would die. After staring at the demons three times, it killed three sixth-level demons.

At this point, Liu Gandang was reluctant to let it glare at him again. Therefore, despite its power, the puppet could only glare at people seven times. After seven glares, its internal calamity-inducing energy would be exhausted, and the puppet would immediately regress to the fifth tier. (End of Chapter)
