Chapter 1: The Seven-Colored Dragon Boat, Azure Pearl...

  This surging black air burst out, and Luo Shenjiang's physical body quickly withered away.

  A massive, hundred-zhang-tall demon god emerged from the swirling black air, its body as large as a small mountain. It had three eyes and eight arms, with a blue face, sharp teeth, and a ferocious grin. Its three eyes were wide open, and it wore a skull crown on its head. Its entire body was covered in dark green lotus flowers, and two giant red pythons coiled around its chest. Flames and black air spewed from its mouth.

  Eight arms, the uppermost hand, bent upwards, grasping twenty fingers in four directions with twelve Vajra pestles. The second lower hand, curved upwards, holds a three-pronged double-headed long spear, deep copper-colored, one hundred yards long, weighing over ten thousand kilograms. The third lower arm presses against the left third arm, intersecting at the chest, both hands forming the Varada Mudra seal. The fourth lower arm hangs downwards, stretching out five fingers to form the Abhaya Mudra gesture. In the middle of the upper left hand, grasping a Dharma wheel. The first lower hand, with its arm bent to the left, holds a black sharp-edged tower, with swirling symbols on top, which is the original form of the world-destroying Māra's banner. The fourth lower hand covers the left hip, applying the protective seal.

  This giant demon god is not a magical illusion, but an entity of the fusion of yuan gods, and it's actually the incarnation of Treasure Birth Wrathful Ming Wang!

  All cultivators in the world know that Kunlun's cultivation is not limited to any specific method, but if a cultivator from another sect were to witness this extraordinary battle, they would surely be shocked to the core, for Luo Shen was about to reveal something that only legendary Mi Zong cultivators who had transcended the calamity could achieve - an external incarnation!

  As soon as his body appeared outside, Luo Shen's body instantly withered.

  But Luo Shenjiang's body quickly withered, and the silver mask immediately glowed with a wave of light, condensing into two thumb-thick sapphire-blue air streams that surged into his nostrils. His originally withered body suddenly filled up, and his previously empty and sunken eyes opened again, emitting a bright blue light. In an instant, Luo Shenjiang's entire body was crystal clear, like a sapphire diamond.

  "Haha!" Luo Shen opened his physical eyes and burst into a thunderous laughter, and in the blink of an eye, he squeezed out three more seals with his hands.

  The externalized body condensed and refined through the fusion of the yuan Shen is the final step in the great success of the secret methods of esoteric cultivation. When the externalized body is condensed into a true entity, it is equivalent to being able to abandon the physical body and exist purely with the yuan Shen's spiritual energy, transcending the cycle of birth and death, and reaching the realm of true transcendence of life and death.

  But Luo Shen's face was always covered with this strange, silver mask that shone with a faint frosty glow, which was actually the Kudan Dharma Growth Mask, one of the top ten magic tools for subduing evil in Esoteric Buddhism!

  This esoteric mighty artifact can attach to a strand of the original spirit and nourish the withered flesh body by condensing and refining the original energy, so that Luo Shen's flesh body has become a powerful treasure in his external incarnation.

  This Luo Shen's physical body and external incarnation were combined, of course, one more than the original Tian Yi.

  Luoshen will manifest his external incarnation, and the six senses will be consistent with the external incarnation. He is as tall as a hundred feet, looking down at Yuantianyi from above. In his line of sight, Yuantianyi is how small. Moreover, this condensed external incarnation has what kind of powerful strength, it's simply an unprecedented sense of power surging inside the body.

  At this moment, Luo Shen's momentum and confidence reached an unprecedented peak!

  Within a thousand miles, wind, fire, thunder and lightning all moved together. Poisonous fire and lightning illuminated the entire sky as if it had cracked open.

  "Puff" "puff"! In the midst of the Kunlun Ring, several more Kunlun Sect members spat out their lifeblood and flew backward. It turned out that just as Luo Tianyi was about to be at a disadvantage, these Kunlun Sect members had also released their own magic and treasures, striking towards Yuan Tianyi. However, they only grazed the edge of the magic and treasures released by Luo Tianyi and were severely shaken, unable to withstand it.

  Luo Shen's fight with Yuan Tianyi has already reached a level where ordinary people can't intervene.

  That light was the power of the edge, and Kunlun's men couldn't bear it, but the crescent-shaped jade plate suspended in front of Yuantianyi stabilized and protected him. Yuantianyi took another step forward and arrived in front of Luoshen's physical body, which held two black large knives.

  "What a wonderful Reincarnation Moon Flower Dharma Wheel! If you can defend against the Light Theory, this treasure of yours can be considered the best in the world!"

  He was deceived by Yu Tianyi and stepped forward, just one finger, the golden light flashed, and the blue diamond body of Luo Shenjiang turned into flying ash. However, Luo Shenjiang didn't rush at all, and another identical body appeared 100 feet away.

  Treading through the void! Luo Shenjiang's speed was not inferior to Yuan Tianyi's at all. This body that had turned into flying ash was just an illusion created by Luo Shenjiang in an instant.

  Seeing that his powerful technique was useless against Yu Tianyi, Luo Shen burst into a mad laughter and directly threw the magic treasure in his hand at Yu Tianyi with a flurry of wild strikes.

  Break through with force!

  Although no magic was applied, Luo Shen's externalized body held the golden Vajra, the three-pronged double-headed long spear, the Dharma wheel, and the Mora banner, all of which were made from refined heavenly treasures such as pure gold and diamond. Each of these Dharma treasures weighed at least ten thousand kilograms. At this moment, Luo Shen's eight externalized arms moved simultaneously, and the five-colored Dharma treasures clashed chaotically, like countless mountains crashing down without cease! Before they even struck, the surface of the sea was already smashed out a bottomless deep trench by the unmatched energy, and then massive waves rose up again.

  "Zi Yun Zhong?"

  Luoshen Jiang's external incarnation was a physical body forged from the fusion of his primordial spirit and heavenly spiritual energy, which could be said to possess boundless vitality and magical power. Even if he couldn't kill Yuantianyi with a single blow, as long as he could suppress him, it wouldn't matter even if they fought for several days and nights, he absolutely wouldn't tire. But suddenly, Luoshen Jiang's vision changed, and before his eyes appeared a purple glow, waves of five-colored poisonous smoke, the scenery around him seemed to have undergone refraction, seeming both near and far, confusing and disorienting, with directions shifting, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion.

  "Yu Tianyi, you use such a treasure to deal with me, don't you underestimate me too much!" Luo Shenjiang saw at a glance that this was a treasure refined by Yu Tianyi using the Luofu poisonous gas. This kind of treasure is still quite powerful for ordinary cultivators, but for Luo Shenjiang, who has already manifested his external body, it's like child's play!

  "Hiss!" With a single sound, Luo Shenjiang's external incarnation was just opening his mouth and spewing out hundreds of substantial tornadoes, rolling out the sound of wind and thunder. The purple phantom light that had appeared in front of him instantly vanished into thin air.

  At this time, the original Tianyi was already in front of Luo Shenjiang's physical body. He seemed to see that Luo Shenjiang's external incarnation was powerful, and he wanted to take out Luo Shenjiang's weaker physical body first, so as not to be ambushed when entangling with his external incarnation. "Haha! You're just in time!" But at this moment, Luo Shenjiang was not surprised but delighted, and a light that had never been seen before burst out from the eyes of his physical body!

  A brilliant, transparent net suddenly appeared between Yuan Tianyi and Luo Shenjiang, wrapping around Yuan Tianyi like a rolled-up leaf, instantly enveloping him into a cocoon.

  "Boom!"

  Innumerable golden auras burst forth from Yuantianyi's body, coalescing into a resplendent golden lotus flower that enveloped him tightly. The magnificent net of light that had bound him disintegrated instantly into dust.

  This magnificent net of divine light that emitted fluctuations of divine might only possessed by top-grade divine artifacts was actually destroyed in an instant by Yuantianyi!

  However, this suddenly appearing brilliant giant net ultimately made Yu Tianyi pause for a moment.

  A snap of the fingers is also time.

  The brief delay of Yu Tianyi was at most a snap of the fingers, but this time was enough for Luo Shenjiang!

  And this is exactly the time that appeared under his shocking design!

  Yuanyi Tianyi just slowed down for a moment, and Luo Shen's two giant palms outside his body immediately surrounded him!

  Outside the palm is the world, but inside the palm is the realm of Luo Shenjiang! Countless dense and intricate talismans instantly burst forth on Yuan Tianyi's body. With a swift encirclement of his palms, Luo Shenjiang severed Yuan Tianyi's connection to the world, tearing him away from it.

  Destroy its law, first cut off its root!

  "Haha! Yu Tianyi, you're delivering yourself to death today!"

  Immediately, the Vajra pestle, the three-pronged double-headed long spear, the Dharma wheel, and the Māra-subduing banner were all reduced in size and wildly struck at the original Heavenly Robe's body!

  Jinhua splashes!

  These incredibly powerful magical treasures struck the tightly bound Yuantianyi, and with each strike, Yuantianyi's body burst forth with a brilliant golden light.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With each strike, it was as if someone in the endless distance was pounding the heavens and earth with a massive hammer, shaking the primordial spirit to the point where it seemed to be trembling along with the heavens and earth.

  "The indestructible glass body cultivated from the Void Genesis and Destruction Sea Glass Technique is nothing more than this!" Luo Shenjiang's external incarnation wielded various magical treasures, striking without any pause, and actually shattered Tianyi's original body into pieces!

  Yuán Tiān Yī's Luó Fú Jue Fǎ, cultivates the flesh body to become a saint, unlike cultivating internal alchemy or external transformation methods that can produce a second yuan shen or external transformation of the body. Even if the flesh body is destroyed, it will not disappear. His method, once the flesh body collapses, both the yuan shen and the physical body are annihilated.

  "Not good!" On the Kunlun Ring Island, tens of thousands of Kunlun Door people saw Luo Shenjiang kill the original Tianyi with a single click. They all unconsciously showed joy, but the purple palace woman in the light gauze who was protecting the little girl drawing on the ground, her face changed greatly!

  "Haha!" Luo Shenjiang, who had just killed the original Tianyi, hadn't even had time to laugh maniacally before he felt something was off.

  In his ears and eyes, above the nine heavens, there were actually rows of Brahma sounds, celestial music floating, endless white lotus flowers floating down, colorful light like a canopy falling from the high sky that cannot be reached, flower canopies and fragrant cars moving, holding eight auspicious symbols, seven treasures of the wheel king, treasure flags, thousands of golden wheels, right-turning conch shells and other offerings worshiped by the heavenly goddess Guanyin swirling around.

  This is actually a scene that only appears when he has successfully crossed the tribulation and become a saint or a Buddha!

  Although he was known as one of the top ten Golden Immortals in the world, Luo Shenjiang's heart was still extremely clear that he was far from becoming a saint or a Buddha.

  Just as this thought flashed through the sea of consciousness, the spiritual platform trembled, and the original heart immediately recovered its clarity. The arrogant Luo Shen, who was about to disregard even heaven and earth, suddenly opened both his physical eyes and his external incarnation's eyes at the same time!

  At this moment, in heaven and on earth, there was only one figure left in his eyes - a figure draped in white!

  His entire primordial spirit could only sense the endless and boundless danger of his own destruction!

  A white-robed Yuan Tianyi was now standing outside his body, right on his chest.

  "Ah!" The always arrogant Luo Shen, at this moment, involuntarily let out a heaven-shaking howl like a wounded beast. The two giant red pythons coiled around his external incarnation's chest mouth rolled back towards the original Tian Yi, while his external incarnation retreated wildly backwards.

  Compared to the hundred-zhang-tall external incarnation, Yuantianyi was tiny as dust, but at this moment, a speck of golden starlight shot out from Yuantianyi's hand, like a grain of golden sand leaking from between his fingers.

  But this faint golden starlight directly penetrated through two crimson giant pythons, and entered the external incarnation of Luo Shenjiang.

  After the golden starlight, two crimson giant pythons instantly turned into flying ash from head to toe, and Luo Shenjiang's entire body also melted away like ice and snow, starting from his chest, inch by inch turning into powder!

  "How is this possible!"

  A black cloud of energy shot out from the rapidly disintegrating external incarnation, surging towards Luo Shenjiang's physical body. The entire space between heaven and earth was filled with Luo Shenjiang's unbelievable roar! "How is it possible that even my external incarnation would be bewildered by an illusion!"

  Yu Tianyi gazed calmly at the primordial spirit that had escaped from Luo Shen's external incarnation, but did not pursue it. "If this were a true external incarnation, perhaps no one in the world could withstand it. However, your external incarnation is merely a fusion of divine beast power and external force, and your heart is not resolute enough - how can you be my opponent?"

  Yuanyi and Luoshen's battle on this level has reached a point that ordinary cultivators can't even imagine!

  The creature that had been crawling beside Luo Tiancheng all along was actually the ancient divine beast, Jinxing, which had long been extinct in the world. The reason why Luo Tiancheng could transform into an external avatar was because he had borrowed some of its power. The external avatar formed by combining his own avatar with the Jinxing's body was already comparable to the true external avatar that he would obtain after completing the final step of his cultivation.

  In the practice of Taoist magic, such a transformation and change have achieved such an achievement. The Rakshasa will surely consider this person to be a rare talent in the world, with extraordinary and unparalleled abilities.

  But the realm of Yu Tianyi has obviously surpassed the realm of using techniques to trigger the power of heaven and earth, which is just a pursuit of power. The externalized body of Luo Shenjiang's divine power is no different from that of his true self, but compared to his true self, there is an essential difference in his heart.

  Only those who have gone through countless hardships and have an extremely firm heart, immune to the invasion of all demons, may truly take the final step and condense into a true external incarnation.

  So Yuanyi had already seen the fatal weakness of Luoshenjiang from their first encounter!

  After releasing the purple cloud, Yuanyi immediately used the Yama Phantom Secret Method, Luo Shen's mind was filled with thoughts of killing Yuanyi, the greatest temptation to become a saint and attain Buddhahood.

  Evil is born from the heart, and such illusions are not just limited to those who have reached the level of Luo God. Even if one has only slightly entered this state, even a cultivator from Kunlun Sect with insufficient cultivation will be completely affected.

  When Luo Shen realizes he has been deceived by Yuan Tianyi's magic, it will be too late. Giving Yuan Tianyi enough time to cast the Annihilating Divine Gold Sand is equivalent to inviting a true immortal Buddha to kill him!

  Luo Shen will be faster, but he only escaped with a wisp of his yuan god, and not even a single strand of the golden ape yuan god he called Huang Wang escaped.

  So this battle! Luo Shen can be said to have lost again and again, losing miserably!

  Yuanyi only faintly looked at the already defeated Luoshenjiang's last wisp of divine soul, and for a counterattack. With only a wisp of divine soul returning to his physical body, Luoshenjiang, who had suffered unprecedented heavy injuries, let out a heaven-shaking miserable cry. On his face, a hint of indescribable desolation flashed by, "I won't give up!"

  Luo Shen had never suffered such a crushing defeat since he started practicing, and his original intention was to prove that he was stronger than Tianyi, but who would have thought that he would end up being defeated so thoroughly.

  For someone as arrogant as him, it's even more unbearable than death!

  Yuanyi Tianyi spared his life and didn't pursue the attack that would have destroyed his primordial spirit, but he was already unable to face this great shame!

  "I would rather die than surrender!"

  In the midst of the thunderous roar, blood flowed out from all seven apertures of his silver mask. He plunged his hands into the ground with a loud "Boom". The sea surface beneath his feet, dozens of meters in diameter, suddenly cracked and split open, revealing an enormous abyss. And he, along with all the seawater and shattered rocks, sank into this abyss!

  After the war, Luo Shenjiang, one of the top ten golden immortals of Kunlun, was defeated to the point where he could not bear it, dug his own grave and buried himself!
