A soft sound broke the tranquility deep in the pine forest, carrying far and wide. A lotus-patterned battle armor appeared on Li Xiaoman's body, shimmering with metallic luster and overflowing with five-colored divine radiance.
"Clang clang..."
The sounds continued, the lotus-patterned battle armor hummed softly, and the five-colored metallic luster flowed. Li Xiaoman was graceful and beautiful, her body covered in divine armor, and she held a silver phoenix halberd in her hand.
She slowly raised her phoenix halberd, its silver light flowing like a ray of moonlight falling. A phoenix cry rang out, clear and melodious. As she swung the silver phoenix halberd, it swirled like a silver river.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Not enough."
He remained unmoved, yet what was once so close had become an insurmountable distance.
Two golden rays burst forth from Li Xiaoman's pupils, emanating a powerful aura.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled, and a mysterious divine power surged forth. Her body radiated a golden light, like a god descending to earth, with one small golden vortex after another appearing on her body.
Each golden vortex seemed to connect to a world, unfathomable in its depths, within which sat a golden figure, solemn and dignified, like a slumbering deity.
A magnificent celestial sound resounded, and Li Xiaoman was enveloped in golden light. From the three hundred and sixty-five small golden vortexes came divine sounds like Zen chants.
"This is getting interesting."
Lin Yi pointed out with an unstoppable divine power, shattering all laws and piercing through the void, aiming at Li Xiaoman's brow!
"boom!"
The sky collapsed, and Li Xiaoman was thrown backward at high speed, but the 365 golden vortexes on her body became even deeper, radiating a light that soared into the sky.
Each golden vortex emitted a beam of divine light, which transformed into a golden palm that blocked Lin Yi's fingers.
At this moment, Li Xiaoman let out a soft shout, her eyes blazing with golden light, like a female war goddess, and a golden light rose from her body, like an ancient scroll.
All three hundred and sixty-five golden vortexes were on her body, detaching and transforming into a picture that enveloped Lin Yi.
The sounds of Taoism, Zen chants, and sacrificial songs seem to have traveled through time and space from ancient times, vast and solemn, sacred and peaceful, falling from the golden ancient scrolls!
Lin Yi vaguely saw that the golden figures sitting cross-legged in the three hundred and sixty-five golden vortexes had all opened their eyes. They were definitely all the same person, because their eyes were exactly the same, belonging to a unique deity.
"boom!"
The chanting resounded throughout heaven and earth, and a golden temple formed from celestial sounds descended from the sky. Golden Arhats were covered in blood, and Bodhisattvas lay dead within. Seven-colored divine blood flowed, making it appear extremely terrifying, and it suppressed Lin Yi.
This is a magnificent golden temple, radiating divine light. Every brick, every stone step shines with brilliance, exuding unparalleled holiness and majesty, like the birthplace of a god.
The golden ancient temple descended, its doors wide open, and Lin Yi saw a small, cracked Buddha statue, cast in bronze, no bigger than a fist, with a sorrowful expression, lifelike, and looking very old, as if it were about to rust.
Shakyamuni!
"Bang!"
The earth sank, like the end of the world; mountains on the distant horizon continued to collapse, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky—a terrifying sight.
"A forbidden weapon for quasi-emperors."
A phantom blue lotus appeared beside Lin Yi, its three leaves swaying, dissolving the imperial aura emanating from the Shakyamuni statue.
A chaotic celestial dragon flew out, transforming into a coiled dragon divine axe, which directly annihilated the ancient temple, leaving it to cease to exist.
"boom!"
All the chanting and sacrificial sounds disappeared. Li Xiaoman cried out in surprise, coughed up a mouthful of five-colored blood, and the three hundred and sixty-five golden vortexes around her dimmed.
The Shakyamuni statue hanging above her head was covered in spiderweb-like cracks and looked like it was about to collapse.
The forbidden artifact itself can only be used a few times, and its collision with the Origin Cauldron of All Things is rapidly consuming the lifespan of the Shakyamuni statue.
"boom!"
Li Xiaoman once again unleashed the forbidden artifact of a quasi-emperor. The bronze Buddha statue flew up, radiating light. Although its form was cracked, it still inspired awe.
Nine waterfalls of Buddha's light shone upon her, representing a kind of perfection.
Li Xiaoman's eyes shone with intense golden light, as if two deities were seated within them.
Her snow-white robes fluttered as she moved like a streak of white light, her movements incredibly fast. Her delicate hand guided her movements as if she were riding a dragon, a rainbow flying from her palm and fingers, transforming into a celestial blade that cleaved the heavens and earth, her palm and fingers slicing towards Lin Yi's neck.
"Ding-dong!"
A melodious, ethereal sound rang out, penetrating to the deepest recesses of the heart. Li Xiaoman suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes flashing with golden light, sometimes intense, sometimes faint.
"ah……"
Li Xiaoman let out a long howl, and a bright light shone from between her brows. A golden figure stepped out and quickly enlarged. It was a golden divine crocodile!
The golden divine crocodile merged with Li Xiaoman's physical body, and her entire being radiated celestial brilliance.
A grand Buddhist chant resounded, and the small bronze Buddha above his head glowed, transforming into a weapon that blasted towards Lin Yi's forehead, as if the Quasi-Emperor Shakyamuni had descended!
"Open the heavens!"
Lin Yi formed hand seals, unleashing the full power of the Panlong Divine Axe.
After reaching the seventh-tier Saint Realm, what he most wanted to know was information about the Emperor Realm.
In terms of primordial spirit cultivation, this level of existence is the condensation of an illusory Great Dao, becoming the sole ruler. One only needs to seize the true Great Dao of the universe, merge with it, and from then on, the Dao resides within oneself.
In terms of the human body's secret realm system, it is to rebuild the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, using it as the central hub to integrate the power of the three major secret realms of Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, and Four Extremes into one, waiting only to ascend to the Immortal Platform, merge with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, and become a Great Emperor.
