However, the Demon-Slaying Sword's mission is not ultimately to defeat the Heavenly Puppet Army, but to destroy the Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World here.
The Demon-Slaying Sword, relying on its own speed, constantly moved back and forth, attacking whenever it found an opportunity. It would unleash long sword beams to attack the palace located atop Heavenly Puppet Peak.
Under the relentless attacks of the Demon-Slaying Sword, the palace gradually crumbled; if this continued, it would soon collapse.
"You forced me to do this!"
Song Yunting originally thought that with the Heavenly Puppet around, the Chen Kingdom wouldn't have a chance, but he didn't expect that the Heavenly Puppet's speed couldn't keep up with the Demon-Slaying Sword.
He finally couldn't hold back any longer and made his move. With a flick of his finger, countless bubbles formed around the Demon-Slaying Sword and crashed towards them.
"Get out of the way!"
Although Li Sifan had anticipated that Song Yunting would make a move, Song Yunting acted too quickly. He could only stop him from creating more bubbles, but he didn't have time to clear the first few bubbles.
Whoosh! Boom!...!
As expected of the master of the plane, Song Yunting's casually created bubble exploded with a power no less than that of a full-force attack from Saint Level Peak cultivator.
Fortunately, the Demon-Slaying Sword was led by A Huo, who, at the critical moment, took the Demon-Slaying Sword and bypassed the center of the explosion, escaping.
Crack! Crack! Boom! Crackling sounds!
When the two masters of different planes clashed, the earth shook and mountains trembled, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled in the sky above Heavenly Puppet Peak, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.
" Demon-Slaying Battle Formation, One Sword Asura!"
A Huo knew that the time to fight to the death had come. He led the Demon-Slaying Sword to unleash its strongest sword technique and attack the sealed palace.
" One Sword Rakshasa!"
The Demon-Slaying Sword was like a enforcer from hell, unleashing boundless killing power that repeatedly broke through the Heavenly Puppet Army's blockade, shattering the palace atop the peak.
While the individual abilities of the Heavenly Puppet are indeed stronger than those of the Demon-Slaying Sword Demon-Slaying Sword, their teamwork is far inferior. If the two were to fight head-on, the outcome would be uncertain. However, since the Demon-Slaying Sword's target is the mountaintop palace, it would be much easier for them.
"Found it! The Heavenly Dao Core is located beneath the palace."
After the Demon-Slaying Sword breached the palace, A Huo quickly discovered the location of the Heavenly Dao Core. Despite the obstruction of Song Yunting and the Heavenly Puppet Army, they thrust sword beams into the Heavenly Dao Core.
"Ah... I'm going to kill you all, kill!"
Seeing the Heavenly Dao Core being attacked, Song Yunting was furious and nearly went mad, but Li Sifan held him back, preventing him from acting recklessly.
Under the relentless attacks of the Demon-Slaying Sword, cracks appeared in the Heavenly Dao Core, which finally shattered.
puff...!
After the cloud-like Heavenly Dao Core exploded, the lines of rules bloomed like fireworks, incomparably dazzling.
No, I hate it!
I shouldn't have listened to Fang Mingda's advice. If I had let the Heavenly Court intervene earlier, perhaps I wouldn't be in this predicament today...
Song Yunting felt the power of the Heavenly Dao fading from his body, and he was filled with remorse and regret.
Knowing that there was no way to reverse the situation, he quickly used the last of his Heavenly Dao power to break through the void and rush out into the void.
call...!
A flash of sword light struck Song Yunting, sending him staggering. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but dared not linger. He rushed into the void and vanished without a trace.
"Sect Leader, why aren't you chasing after them?"
A Huo suddenly appeared beside Li Sifan, puzzled.
"Without the Heavenly Puppet World, he's just a Sage. What difference does it make whether I kill him or not?"
Li Sifan crossed his arms, his expression calm.
Saint Level and God Level may seem to be only one realm apart, but only those who have experienced it will understand that it is the difference between immortals and mortals, and the two are simply incomparable.
Given his arrogant personality, he would never deign to kill an opponent who had fallen from God Level.
"Why? Since he once stepped into the Void God Realm."
"Then it will probably be easier to enter the Void God Realm again in the future, right?"
A Huo also yearned for the Divine Realm and humbly sought its guidance.
"No! Once cultivators take control of a plane, it will be even more difficult for them to comprehend the Great Dao of the Universe."
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Song Yunting to comprehend the Great Dao and break through to the Void God Realm. His only way to return to the Void God Realm is to seize a plane.
However, even for a Sage to seize an unclaimed plane, the success rate is pitifully low.
That's why I said he is no longer a threat.
Li Sifan patiently explained to A Huo.
After the Heavenly Dao Will of the Heavenly Puppet World was destroyed, the Heavenly Puppet Sect's resistance became meaningless, and within a few days, everyone in the Heavenly Puppet Sect submitted.
The Chen Kingdom and the Sword-Questioning Sect split the spoils of this battle equally, with the Heavenly Puppet World definitely going to Li Sifan.
After the Brahma Sword World absorbed the Heavenly Puppet World, the origin of the Heavenly Dao was strengthened several times over. As long as it takes some time to digest it, it will probably be able to enter the mature stage of a lower plane.
In addition to being divided into four levels—supreme, advanced, intermediate, and low—the planes in the universe are further divided into three stages: juvenile, growth, and maturity.
Normally, the growth of a plane is very slow, especially for high-level planes, where tens of thousands of years are just a blink of an eye.
Originally, both the Brahma Sword World and the Heavenly Puppet World were low-level planes in their growth stage. To enter the mature stage, they would need at least ten thousand years.
However, now that the Brahma Sword World has absorbed the Heavenly Puppet World, it can immediately enter its mature stage.
This demonstrates just how much benefit the Brahma Sword World has received.
Once the Brahma Sword World enters its mature stage, the spiritual materials and minerals nurtured by the plane will become more abundant, enabling more native beings to reach higher cultivation levels—a virtuous cycle.
As for Li Sifan, who is the master of the plane, his cultivation level has also increased by leaps and bounds after the plane became powerful.
If he were to attack another plane of the same level as the Heavenly Puppet World in the future, he could completely suppress the plane's ruler, thus allowing his subordinates to achieve victory more quickly.
Aside from the planes themselves, almost all other existing resources of the Heavenly Puppet World belonged to the Chen Kingdom, including the ordinary people of the Heavenly Puppet World, who all became the human resources of the Chen Kingdom.
After a thorough search, all the wealth accumulated by the Heavenly Puppet Sect over thousands of years was unearthed.
Among them were many priceless items, and even the well-traveled Landuo was amazed by the contents of the storehouse.
With such a great harvest, Chen Hongjie naturally couldn't be stingy. He immediately instructed Chen Xuejun of the Rune Research Institute to work at full speed to make use of the resources obtained from the Heavenly Puppet Sect as soon as possible to enhance the strength of the Chen Kingdom's warriors.
A Huo naturally obtained the most resources, and he didn't hold back, immediately going into seclusion after returning to the Chen Kingdom.
He already knew about the opening of the Kunlun Secret Realm, but knowing that Chen Mu was already inside, he didn't plan to join the fun.
All he can think about now is improving his own strength. Only when he is strong enough can he protect the people he wants to protect.
