Immortality begins with meditation puppets

"Do it!"

At his command, Su Qing withdrew from the body of the Great Emperor of the North Pole, allowing his remaining true spirit to take over the body and join the battle, while his own consciousness returned to the puppet in the Lingxiao Palace to oversee the overall situation.

Snake Buqun's few stabs were pointless against the Evil Sword Demon. For a Heavenly Demon General like him, such damage had little effect. Su Qing was just taking a chance and casually helped the Northern Purple Star Emperor avenge the intellectual defeat and betrayal he suffered years ago.

To defeat this Evil Sword Demon, Su Qing never expected a surprise victory. Being slightly weaker, he resorted to strategy and tactics. By bringing out the Lingxiao Palace puppet, he aimed to shock all realms. He not only wanted to destroy the Evil Sword Realm, but also to use methods that would astound all realms, thus proving that his previous debate with the Yuanshi Sect demonstrated that new and good things would inevitably overturn old and bad things. This was an irreversible trend of the times, and he now intended to use this trend to crush the Evil Sword Demon, leaving it powerless to resist!

In order to annihilate this evil sword demon and make the Lingxiao Palace puppet an instant success, he didn't say he exhausted everything or gave his all, but at least he brought out all the good stuff he had accumulated over the years.

Upon seeing the fighter squadrons and bomber squadrons, they immediately unleashed their firepower without hesitation upon receiving his command.

Unlike the ordinary demons they dealt with before, this batch of Pengtian Armor Puppets and Exorcism Missile Puppets are equipped with exorcism-type spirit explosion puppets, which have greatly improved in function and power. Correspondingly, their cost is also tens or even hundreds of times higher than that of the low- and mid-range models.

Among these, besides the simple upgrades in rank and the more powerful fourth and fifth-rank Exorcising Missiles and Exorcising Tyrants, there are also many new types of puppets developed by Su Qing in collaboration with many puppeteers from the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom's Puppet Research Institute.

There is the Tathagata Palm Puppet, a Buddhist-style demon-suppressing puppet. Su Qing was inspired by a palm technique that descended from the sky, which Xiong Er practiced, and attempted to use the puppet to replicate this demon-suppressing method of a high-level Buddhist practitioner that had disappeared from the world.

To this end, he drew high-end runes such as seventh-order merit runes, seventh-order spirit explosion runes, and seventh-order exorcism runes on this puppet. He also used Xiong Er's connections in the Buddhist sect to obtain a batch of ancient Buddhist high-level cultivator skeletons. He ground these skeletons into bone powder to make rune coatings, so that these Tathagata Palm puppets, which resemble missiles, would have a pure Buddhist temperament, even purer than some senior monks.

Because of limited materials, mainly the scarcity of ancient Buddhist high-ranking cultivators' remains, and the fact that the senior monks protested after learning of its purpose, saying that Su Qing was blaspheming the ancient Buddha and would go to hell!
Su Qing didn't care about going to hell. He had already achieved the feat of lying down in hell after his previous trip to the abyss. He even scolded these monks for their lack of enlightenment. These ancient Buddhas died fighting for demons in their lives and were used to fight demons again after they died. They were born and died to benefit all living beings. Isn't that more in line with their Buddhist teachings?

After Xiong Er went to communicate with them, he learned that the monks were reluctant to part with the ancient Buddha's remains because they wanted to try to revive the Buddha and restore Buddhism after the Tianyuan Restoration.

Su Qing thought their idea was ridiculous. Countless ancient powerful beings died, and the one that died the most thoroughly was the Buddhist sect. The Demon Buddha lay on the corpses of all the Buddhas, devouring all the Buddhist sect's fortune, causing the Buddhist sect in the present world to decline to this day. Even the most core Buddhist path, the Great Dao of Merit, fell into the hands of the Demon Buddha.

With this demonic Buddha pressing down on Buddhism, the road to its revitalization is long and arduous, especially in the present world where the competition for faith and incense offerings is so fierce. Modern Buddhist practitioners even need Xiong Er to use Xiong Er's money shop to support their own faith and incense offerings.

If ancient Buddhas were to be resurrected, how would they attract followers and secure incense offerings if they lacked the path to merit and could not repay believers with their past merits and vows?

Despite his skepticism about the resurrection of the ancient Buddha, Su Qing couldn't force the issue since these Buddhist forces were so insistent. He could only let the tomb raider Feng Bo'e return to his old ways, leading his team to continue raiding the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves for gold.

In this way, the production of the ancient Buddha's remains becomes uncertain, and the number of Tathagata Palm puppets decreases with each use.

The two weapons brought this time represent the entire inventory of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom. If it weren't for dealing with a high-value target like the Evil Sword Demon, Su Qing would never have been willing to use them.

Now, these two puppets are mounted on the body of God's Silver. He doesn't trust other puppets to use such expensive puppets. Only the oldest puppet who followed him the earliest can gain his trust and have the right to launch this puppet. At this moment, while the other puppets are firing fiercely, Silver can also hold back, like a lurking venomous snake, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Another Tier 6 Tyrant series puppet—Zeroing One—is equipped with a Tier 6 Optimus Prime configuration.

This puppet is equipped with seventh-tier spirit explosion runes, seventh-tier destruction runes, and seventh-tier spirit annihilation runes. Like all Tyrant series puppets, this type of puppet doesn't care about anything else, it just wants to explode loudly and fiercely, and have great power.

However, unlike other Tyrant series puppets, its power is already ridiculously high. It is so powerful that even if it is placed in the warehouse of Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, it still needs to be guarded by a team of high-level puppets to prevent any thief from detonating it and blowing Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to the sky.

Su Qing was also very cautious in using these puppets. Not only would a whole realm be wiped out if one fell, but that realm would also be forever in a state of spiritual desolation, entering the Dharma-ending Age. Without hundreds of millions of years of repair, cultivators would not be able to cultivate in this realm.

Its power is so great that this puppet is not suitable for use in realms where living beings cultivate, nor is it suitable for use in battles with living beings. If left unchecked and it falls into a realm where living beings exist, this Zero-Returner can not only reduce that realm to zero, but also reduce the merits that Su Qing has accumulated over the years to zero. Therefore, after collecting the Destruction Stones necessary to make this puppet from the Divine Realm, he only controlled these small amounts of Destruction Stones and only took a small portion of them to make this Zero-Returner.

These puppets were created specifically for demons. In realms like the Evil Sword Realm, which have been occupied by demons for many years, not only are all living beings extinct, making it impossible to accidentally injure anyone, but the world within the realm has long been corrupted by demons to an incurable degree. Destroying and rebuilding them would obviously be more beneficial for all living beings.

However, the Evil Sword Realm is different from most other realms in the myriad realms. This realm is one of the strongest dozens of realms in the myriad realms, with a high enough status, strong enough heavenly gates and boundary walls, and a vast and boundless expanse. Furthermore, with the Evil Sword Demon and countless other demons residing here, even if they are not good at managing it, it will still increase the realm's resilience to some extent. Clearly, a Zero-Returner cannot destroy the Evil Sword Realm. He is now having the Sky Pillar thrown onto the sky of the Evil Sword Realm, not to destroy anything else, but to destroy the Immortal Execution Sword Diagram, intending to use this puppet to blast away the Evil Sword Demon's greatest reliance.

boom!
The effect was extremely good. While the Lingbao Sect sword cultivators were heartbroken and the cultivators watching below were dumbfounded, the spiritual explosion wave stirred up by the Zeroer swept from the sky to every corner of the Evil Sword Realm. It not only blasted a huge hole in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Diagram that covered the sky, but also wiped out all the remaining Demon Sword Light, sword array traps in this realm.

The only problem might be that they didn't inform their teammates before detonating. The Lingbao Sect sword cultivators who landed near the annihilation and bombing teams were alright, because before the Sky Pillar detonated, the Lingxiao Palace puppet activated its protective array and remotely teleported to them, helping them avoid the damage from the spirit explosion.

The cultivators from various realms watching below weren't so lucky. Many were blasted by the spirit explosion and cried out in pain. Fortunately, the explosion occurred in the central area of ​​the Evil Sword Realm, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the edge of the ground where they were. The damage from the spirit explosion had been weakened to the extreme, so the casualties were still manageable. Feeling apologetic, Su Qing sent another batch of spirit healing puppets from the Lingxiao Palace puppet to treat the wounded, barely calming the anger of his teammates who had been mistakenly blown up.

After the Zero-Returner, the puppets worth mentioning are the Echo of Destiny and the Nano Swarm Missiles. The Echo of Destiny is still a sixth-order puppet, and it was actually created by Su Qing in cooperation with the Primordial Sect.

Because the seventh-order causal runes required to refine this puppet can only be refined by seventh-order weapon refiners in the Yuanshi Sect, Su Qing had to rely on the Yuanshi Sect if he wanted to refine this puppet. However, at the time of refining this puppet, his relationship with the Yuanshi Sect was still in its honeymoon period, so the cooperation was quite pleasant. A total of three Destiny Echo Puppets were refined, one of which was given to the Yuanshi Sect and the other two were kept in his Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom.

Given his current relationship with the Yuanshi Sect, it would be difficult to replicate this type of puppet until the sect comes to its senses and yields, or until Su Qing is forced to yield and admit defeat. The two Destiny Echoes of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom are truly one less to use, so he was only willing to bring one with him at this moment.

The purpose of this puppet is to detonate and alter local cause and effect, causing the target to act in a way that is either positive or negative, leading to a reversal of the positive trend and further deterioration of the negative trend.

Just like now, after being bombarded by the annihilation and bombing teams, the Evil Sword Demon was further stimulated by the explosions of the Zero-Returner. Its calm heart was no longer calm, and it was no longer as fearless as before. It was really frightened by these randomly bombing puppets. The demon clenched the Immortal Trapping Sword between its necks and flicked out a few sword flowers. These sword flowers instantly transformed into several sixth-order arrays, trying to temporarily trap the annihilation and bombing teams, as well as the Lingbao Sect sword cultivator who was eager to try his hand, in order to buy it time to escape.

As one of the supreme treasures of the sword path, the powerful sword light emitted by the Immortal Trapping Sword and the sixth-order sword formation it forms will not be easily broken by annihilation teams, bombing teams, or spiritual treasure sword cultivators. As long as this evil sword demon is allowed to leave the battlefield, it can escape from this certain death crisis in an instant by using the sword demon's unparalleled escape speed, and also make Su Qing's investment in this matter turn into nothing.

At this moment, the Echo of Destiny was sent down by the Two-Headed Dragon God. This puppet was inconspicuous among the other missile puppets. Even the Evil Sword Demon did not know when it exploded. Even if it did know, it would not understand what power this puppet had and would only treat it like the other missile puppets.

As soon as the puppet exploded, the sword light formed by the Immortal-Trapping Sword suddenly deflected in the air, diverting the sword light that was originally intended to lock onto the annihilation team, bombing team, and the Spirit Treasure Sword cultivators who could threaten the Evil Sword Demon, to the various cultivators from all realms watching the battle below. This was somewhat useful for spreading the process and results of the battle afterward, but did not play a significant role in the battle itself.

Although the cultivators from all realms could not participate in such a high-level battle as besieging the Evil Sword Demon, they were not weaklings. They were not good at dealing with other things, but they could handle this sixth-order trap sword formation. The main thing was that they were not in a hurry. If they could not break the sword formation in time, they would break it slowly. If they could not break it, Su Qing and the others would not abandon them after they had dealt with the Evil Sword Demon.

They didn't care, but the Evil Sword Demon cared a lot. Its method, which it had always used to block and trap enemies and was always successful, had failed at this critical moment. Just as it was filled with fear and didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhuo Peiyu, who had been looking for an opportunity, finally made his move. He pointed his fingers and controlled his sword, unleashing 108,000 sword energies. The sword light split, the sword energy thundered, the sword energy gained momentum, and the sword broke through all laws. All the supernatural abilities and attainments related to the sword path that all the sword cultivators in the heavens knew, knew, and sought were condensed in this move.

The cultivation rules of the Heavenly Sword Path were originally established by their Lingbao Sect from scratch. Their pride as Lingbao sword cultivators also stems from this. Their Lingbao Sect is not only one of the three major sects of the Dao lineage, but also the ancestral court of the Heavenly Sword Path!

Their pride has been tarnished for millions of years by the evil sword that plundered the Immortal Sword. This ever-growing shame will be washed away today.

At the same time, Shenzhiliuyin, who had also been looking for an opportunity, found one. Before the effect of the Echo of Destiny disappeared, he unhesitatingly fired two Tathagata Palm Puppet shots at the Evil Sword Demon.

The palm technique descending from the sky condensed into a peerless palm technique that had long been extinct in the world. The two palms, golden and radiant with boundless Buddhist charm, fell one after another, combined with the 108,000 sword lights, aiming to completely annihilate the evil sword demon, this scourge.

Even as the evil sword demon's spirit trembled, it still tried to utilize its ability to escape. The black sword darted about like a shadow, traversing time and space, wandering between reality and illusion, attempting to disrupt the landing point of the two sides' attacks by alternating between reality and illusion, thus weakening the damage of the attacks.

This response was exactly what Su Qing had expected. After taking over the divine body, the Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star, who had been silent, suddenly held a Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag with ten colors of precious light and rippling water and struck at the Evil Sword Demon. Two Xuan Water Divine Dragons rose from the flag, roaring and entangling the Evil Sword Demon, leaving him nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

歘欻欻!
The Sword Demon was pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords.

Rumble!
The demon was ultimately suppressed by the Buddha's palm.

Thus, the Heavenly Demon General, who had roamed the world since ancient times, has utterly perished in this Evil Sword Realm! (End of Chapter)
