Breakthrough, Orange Cloud Realm!

Puff!

After a crisp sound, Chen Xiao's crimson Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was completely crushed by the pitch-black hand that emerged from the coffin.

"The Great Coffin-Splitting Hand!"

After crushing the tribulation lightning, the black hand unleashed another deafening roar, then slammed down directly towards Chen Xiao's head.

"Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon!"

Faced with this menacing giant hand, Chen Xiao dared not meet it Shi Chou -on. He didn't know how strong the giant hand emerging from the coffin of Chen Xiao was, but he was very clear about one thing: if he were touched by this hand, he would definitely be dragged into the coffin and never be reincarnated.

Brush!

The Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon were unleashed once more, splitting Chen Xiao's body into nine. But immediately afterward, a second Divine Ability was unleashed.

"The Great Coiling Dragon Sword!"

Chen Xiao gave a soft shout, and in mid-air, nine illusory figures twisted simultaneously, transforming into nine giant dragons with awe-inspiring Sword Qi, sweeping towards Shi Chou's body from nine directions.

Being passively beaten is not something Chen Xiao likes.

"He can cover up the sky with one hand!"

Once the coffin was opened, the Yin energy spread throughout the surrounding ten miles. A giant hand appeared and disappeared in the clouds formed by the Yin energy, constantly shattering the phantom of Chen Xiao's Great Coiling Dragon Sword.

Chen Xiao's Great Coiling Dragon Sword was formed by activating the Sword Qi of an eighth-grade immortal sword with Divine Ability, but the Sword Qi of the eighth-grade immortal sword could not harm the black giant hand in the slightest.

In reality, Shi Chou's own abilities were only at the late stage of the Mahayana Realm realm. What he relied on was the giant black coffin beside him. Without the coffin, Shi Chou wouldn't be so terrifying.

"Heavenly Thunder Tribulation: Heavenly Dragon Controls Thunder!"

Suddenly, two crimson bolts of lightning shot out from Chen Xiao's eyes. This time, he transformed himself into a giant azure dragon and soared into the sky.

Crimson clouds swirled around the massive azure dragon's body, crackling and bursting, directly piercing through the malevolent energy emanating from the black coffin.

Regardless of what that giant black coffin was, Chen Xiao, with the power of the Thunder Virtue Heavenly Book, commanded the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, which would shatter all laws in the world. The mere Yin Sha Qi was simply no match for Chen Xiao.

This time, Chen Xiao used the Azure Dragon Divine Ability ' Heavenly Dragon Controls Thunder Control' to command the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. The rolling crimson thunder tribulation instantly dissipated most of the Yin energy.

"Heavens! Who exactly is that Shen Xiao?! I didn't see him clearly before. Now it seems that the lightning he used is clearly Heavenly Realm thunder and fire. How is that possible? The power of heavenly tribulation governs all things. How could it be controlled by living beings?"

"What's so strange about that? It's likely that one of the sect's top experts extracted and refined the energy from the endless tribulation clouds during his tribulation, giving it to the younger generation of disciples for self-defense and protection."

"However, drawing tribulation lightning from the heavenly tribulation is simply too shocking and outrageous."

"Legend has it that once one attains a certain level of enlightenment and becomes Fruit Status Immortal, one can break the Principle heavenly tribulation, absorb the heavenly tribulation, and condense lightning."

"Fruit Status Immortal? Could it be that the sect behind Shen Xiao possesses Fruit Status Immortal?"

"In that case, we really need to think about it carefully."

"Fortunately, our Tianxuan Sword Sect has just gained Shen Xiao's friendship."

The people in the audience were buzzing with discussion. But Chen Xiao, who was in the arena, was not having a good time.

Although Chen Xiao used the power of lightning tribulation to break through the Yin energy, even more Yin energy emanated from the black coffin, seeping into Chen Xiao's body.

Chen Xiao's true essence surged throughout his body, the purple-gold true essence carrying streaks of lightning, desperately trying to dissolve the Yin energy.

"Shen Xiao, stop struggling in vain. This energy is the corpse energy left behind after the fall of the heavens. It is extremely insidious and can destroy the immortal essence of immortals. You, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, are completely helpless against it. Just surrender obediently and become a sacrifice to the heavens."

As Shi Chou spoke, the Yin Sha Qi surrounding his body, also known as the Corpse Qi of Heaven, grew heavier and heavier, eventually becoming a water-like substance, forming a huge wave of Corpse Qi that crashed towards Chen Xiao.

Amidst the towering waves of corpse energy, a faint, ghostly claw flickered in and out of sight, constantly probing and reaching for Chen Xiao's body.

"Thunder Protection!"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. With a wave of his hand, he threw out a crimson talisman. The next moment, the crimson talisman exploded, and a huge vortex of lightning transformed into a whirlwind that completely protected Chen Xiao's body.

For the first time, Chen Xiao was forced into a defensive posture and found himself at a disadvantage.

However, Chen Xiao remained calm. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands forming a strange hand seal.

"Ramado Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy, Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal!"

Suddenly, loud chanting arose around Chen Xiao's body, and phantom images of Buddhas appeared around him, while a golden veil slowly materialized.

Buddhist Law Treasure, an eighth-grade immortal artifact, the Ramado Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy!

The monks, including Huiye, were taken into the Golden Immortal Kingdom by Chen Xiao. There, the Golden Demon had hundreds of ways to pry everything out of them.

The Ramado Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy naturally fell into Chen Xiao's hands, and Chen Xiao also learned the Buddhist secret technique of the Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal.

Moreover, the ultimate technique of the Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal was condensed by the Golden Demon, a Divine Ability Golden Immortal, into something similar to a seed of Divine Ability, and integrated into Chen Xiao's Nascent Soul. Therefore, Chen Xiao immediately mastered this ultimate technique.

However, the Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal is not like Divine Ability that is activated by Divine Ability seed and does not consume one's own true essence. On the contrary, when Chen Xiao uses the Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal, he directly consumes most of his true essence in order to activate the eighth-grade immortal artifact, the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Tent.

The Golden Sands Illusionary Demon Tent, although it is an eighth-grade immortal artifact like the Heavenly Shadow Sword, is a Buddhist treasure and cannot be compared to the mere Heavenly Shadow Sword.

Moreover, this celestial artifact contains the power of Buddhist merit, which is extremely useful to Chen Xiao.

Buddhism itself is a unique phenomenon in the Immortal World, possessing the great merit of educating all sentient beings. It can use the power of merit. Within Buddhism, there are also many supreme treasures formed from the power of merit, and this Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy is one of these many supreme treasures.

Although this Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy is only an eighth-grade immortal artifact, it possesses the power of merit, making it far more powerful than ordinary ninth-grade immortal artifacts.

Chen Xiao possesses the Merit Treasure Tree Merit Treasure Tree his body, which he uses to activate the Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal and drive the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy. Although its power is not as great as the one activated by Huiye and the other eight Heavenly Immortal monks together, the power of the Merit Treasure Tree allows the Golden Sand Illusionary Demon Tent to unleash more wondrous uses.

Buddha!

Suddenly, countless phantom images of Buddhas and chanting Buddhist mantras above the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy coalesced into a giant 'Buddha' character, radiating boundless golden light.

"A Buddhist Law Treasure! What is the origin of this Shen Xiao?!"

This left all the immortals outside the arena completely stunned.

Ancient supernatural Divine Ability, martial arts, and Buddhist secret Law Treasure and magical treasures—three completely unrelated things—appeared in the same person, which shocked everyone.

The overwhelming aura of death, suppressed by the enormous Buddha character, seemed to have encountered its nemesis and desperately retreated back into the giant coffin.

Finally, a hand that was three zhang in diameter appeared.

That hand was the very hand that emerged from the coffin.

However, this hand, though shaped like a human hand, was covered in patches of pitch-black scales, and in many places, stark white bones were exposed, making it an incomplete hand.

The hand did not retreat as the corpse energy dissipated; instead, it transformed into a ghostly claw, carrying a heavy Sha Qi, and viciously clawed at the character "Buddha."

"The Unreturning Wheel of Beads. Ramata's Great Tent!"

Chen Xiao suddenly stood up, his hands once again forming the Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal. The entire Golden Sand Tent shimmered, transforming into beams of Buddhist light that merged into the Buddhist character in mid-air.

The character "Buddha" transformed once more, turning into a large golden Buddha statue, seated cross-legged in the void.

"Dragon and Elephant Strength, Wisdom Seal!"

As soon as the Buddha statue was completed, many things appeared in Chen Xiao's mind, including another set of Buddhist hand seals, the Wisdom Seal!

The Buddha possesses immeasurable wisdom, and he uses this immeasurable wisdom to form a mudra, known as the Wisdom Seal.

In mid-air, the golden Buddha raised one hand, and a Wisdom Seal was unleashed, colliding with the black hand.

Boom!

Golden and black light intertwined and entwined, seemingly in a state of adhesive bonding.

However, the Buddha statue in mid-air was ultimately an illusion, while the black demonic claw was a real entity. After three breaths, the Buddha statue that had merged with the Golden Sand Illusionary Demon Tent began to disintegrate inch by inch, returning to the original form of the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy.

"I see!"

At that moment, Chen Xiao had a sudden realization.

This treasure of merit, within the Ramado Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy, embodies the wisdom of a true Buddha, a divine artifact of wisdom. The Wisdom Seal, for example, is the greatest Divine Ability power within it.

With wisdom in your body, you can protect yourself from all evils; with wisdom to defend against enemies, you can defeat all demons. The Never-Retreat Wheel Pearl Hand Seal is the starting posture of the Wisdom Seal.

However, an eighth-grade immortal artifact is so powerful that even High Immortal cannot unleash its full power; only Golden Immortal can.

In Buddhism, Golden Immortal can be considered an Arhat.

Now, Chen Xiao used the Merit Treasure Tree to draw upon the power of merit within the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy, and using merit as a medium, he was able to unleash the Formless Wisdom Seal.

Puff!

However, at this moment, the pitch-black ghost claw had already fiercely gripped the Illusionary Demon Golden Sand Canopy, and was about to tear this eighth-grade immortal artifact apart.

"That's exactly what I needed from you."

When Chen Xiao saw the ghostly claw grab the Golden Sand Illusionary Demon Tent, two beams of crimson lightning suddenly erupted from his eyes. Immediately afterward, purple-gold lightning true essence rolled around Chen Xiao's body, surging wildly into the Golden Sand Illusionary Demon Tent.

Boom!

With a single swipe of its pitch-black ghostly claw, the protective Buddhist light surrounding the Illusion Demon Golden Sand Tent was shattered, and streams of pitch-black corpse energy surged wildly into the tent.

This ghostly claw wasn't trying to tear the Golden Sands Tent apart; it clearly wanted to assimilate and devour this eighth-grade immortal artifact, making it a part of itself.

"So that's how it is! No wonder Shi Chou doesn't have any other Law Treasure. He's clearly raising a corpse, using the body of Immortal World genius to feed the peerless being inside the coffin with unparalleled Law Treasure!"

Upon seeing the giant ghostly hand's movements, Chen Xiao immediately understood what Shi Chou was doing.

"Burst!"

However, Chen Xiao did not hesitate for long. He poured his Thunderous True Essence into the Illusionary Demon Golden Sand Tent, which broke through the core essence of this eighth-grade immortal artifact.

The next moment, the extremely destructive true energy condensed into a ball, and then exploded with a bang.

Boom!

Chen Xiao used his true essence to directly detonate this Buddhist treasure, an eighth-grade merit immortal artifact!

Aww!

The next moment, the giant ghostly hand was blasted apart, and drops of pitch-black blood splattered down.

How powerful would the explosion of an eighth-grade immortal artifact be? Even a Golden Immortal would suffer considerable damage if they got close, let alone this mere mutilated hand.

However, the ghostly claw had just gripped the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy tightly, indirectly bearing most of the force and taking the hit for Chen Xiao.

However, Chen Xiao was also in a very bad mood at this moment. Although he had not refined the Law Treasure, there was still a trace of connection between them in his mind.

"Merit Treasure Tree, draw upon merit!"

Chen Xiao's heart stirred violently, and the sapling of the Merit Treasure Tree, which resided above the Crimson Cloud in his Dantian, rose directly up.

All the onlookers saw was the phantom of a vibrant, emerald-green tree slowly appearing behind Chen Xiao, frantically absorbing the essence of this eighth-grade immortal artifact—the power of merit!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

At this moment, the power of thunder surged and crackled within Chen Xiao's body, and streaks of crimson lightning almost transformed into his true essence, roaring and churning wildly.

Suddenly, within the crimson lightning, a faint orange light flickered.

Brush!

Within Chen Xiao's Dantian, the nascent Nascent Soul that had been sitting cross-legged on the Crimson Cloud rose up and suddenly opened its eyes, two beams of orange light shooting out from them.

Gradually, a small orange cloud appeared below the Nascent Soul.

The second realm of the Nine Heavens Thunder Virtue Universal Transformation Art, the Orange Cloud Realm, is the Nascent Soul leaving the body!

Not only that, but inside his Dantian, the Merit Treasure Tree, which was no bigger than a thumb, slowly grew to the size of a hand.

The bright yellow power of merit continuously transformed into Chen Xiao's true essence, replenishing the ever-growing nascent Nascent Soul and Orange Cloud.

"External Incarnation, Second Primordial Spirit, Condensed!"

At this moment, Chen Xiao naturally did not hesitate at all. The stick, which had been placed deep within the Golden Immortal Kingdom and was completely black and lacked the brilliance of stars, entered Chen Xiao's Dantian directly through the Thunder Virtue Heavenly Book.

This stick had already been refined by Chen Xiao with his true essence. After being condensed by many treasures in the Golden Immortal Kingdom, and with the constant tempering by the weapon-refining master Feng Xuan, it had already advanced to a low-grade Spirit Artifact.

Moreover, this staff absorbed the Golden Immortal Power in the Golden Immortal Kingdom, condensing its own essence, and thus has the potential to become a high-grade immortal artifact.

Now, Chen Xiao is about to use this immortal artifact to condense his External Incarnation, his Second Primordial Spirit!
