"Exterior Evil Demon!"
"You're back!"
Five years ago, during the battle of Izumo Kingdom, Jiang Liu, at the Earth Immortal realm, was able to withstand the attack of the Creation Ship by relying on the "Dark Star," the highest magical artifact of the Holy Land Xuantian Pavilion, which was created by fusing Sky City and the tortoise shell on the back of the ancient divine beast Tuolong.
Everyone, including Xu Yi, the ruler of the Central World, believed that the extraterrestrial demons were only below the level of the Creator, and that even after five years, they would at most face eight tribulations.
Although the crisis still lingers in everyone's mind, no one seems to care.
Even if there are eight or nine tribulations of lightning, it won't change the world.
If they could obtain the spacetime tunnel of the extraterrestrial demons, whether it was Xu Yi, the Immortal God King, or Yang Pan, they all considered how to launch a counterattack against the extraterrestrial world.
But now, Yang Pan's confident mindset has shattered. His good friend Hong Xuanji has been captured by him, and he killed the Rift Emperor, who had undergone six tribulations, and the Tai Shi Mountain Dragon Soul, who had undergone five tribulations, with a single move. Even his own strength as a creator was no match for him.
Beads of sweat trickled down Yang Pan's forehead. In his entire life, apart from twenty years ago when he conspired with Hong Xuanji and others to destroy Meng Shenji's immortal body, and when he faced Meng Shenji he felt like he was facing death. This was the first real crisis in twenty years.
A life-or-death crisis!
Are you predicting the future?
Hong Xuanji frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "Even if you become the master of the future, you cannot predict the future. The future has changed drastically because of me. Your strength is insufficient..."
Although the future is full of endless changes, those with profound spiritual cultivation can sense some of them, such as intense dangers. They can then avoid these future events and embark on a different, more righteous path.
Legend has it that when one cultivates to the extreme, one can deceive one's senses. One can even perceive all sorts of future paths and choices, or create something out of nothing, crafting the path most advantageous to oneself.
Grasp the infinite changes of the future, and create the infinite changes of the future!
This is the true meaning of the "Future No-Birth Sutra".
Vacuum Great Handprint, the condensation of divine power, and fervent faith are all methods of power, supernatural abilities for protecting the path, not the most profound laws or rules.
Once you understand it and condense the future master, that is the path to enlightenment. Although it doesn't greatly improve combat power, it has more wonderful uses.
Lord of the Future!
This is the external avatar that the Immortal Primordial Spirit transforms into after it is cultivated. In the future, after the Unborn Scripture is cultivated to its highest level, the thought of faith can be integrated into the soul.
Throughout history, the only people who have cultivated the Future Without Birth Sutra to such a level, besides its mysterious founder, are probably Emperor Yang Pan.
"If I weren't still in the early stages of cultivating my future mastery, how could you have taken over Xuanji's body..." Emperor Yang Pan said sternly, "If you want to kill me, what will you use to kill me? I have the Creation Boat protecting me, how can you kill me!"
Splash! Splash!
In an instant, an aura of a master, like that of an ancient demon god or a primordial yang god, surged forth, shattering a layer of space.
Then, a magnificent ship appeared in this small world, enveloping Emperor Yang Pan.
The Ship of Creation has appeared!
The aura it exudes indicates that this is no longer a ship, but the flagship and palace of a god-king who rules over heaven and earth!
Only the King of Gods, the supreme god-emperor who rules over the fate of all living beings, is worthy of possessing such a ship to survey the eight wastelands.
When this Creation Ship burst forth from the void, the enormous waves and terrifying aura caused even the "Imperial Heavenly Dragon Armor" on Hong Xuanji's body to roar like a dragon. It seemed that even the "Imperial Heavenly Dragon Armor" was shaken by the majesty of this great ship and felt a sense of awe.
Before this massive warship, all magical artifacts, including those of the Yang God, lost their luster.
"What terrifying pressure! It's a pity it's flawed. If it were at its peak, it would be a supreme treasure, the king of artifacts forged to cross the other shore, equivalent to a treasure of merit! However, you, using this artifact, are far too weak... Yang Pan, you are too weak!"
Yang Pan stood atop the Ark of Creation, sneering incessantly. Relying on this king of divine artifacts, his confidence surged once more.
"Yang Pan, do you recognize me?"
A majestic voice appeared behind Yang Pan, the same as Yang Pan's own. Yang Pan turned around in surprise and saw a copy of himself, exactly the same, even the expression was identical.
However, this face and this head grew out from behind him, and half of his body was connected to him, like conjoined twins.
"What kind of supernatural power is this? When did you invade my body...? Impossible, impossible, this is an illusion..."
Gradually, the light in Yang Pan's eyes faded, and he appeared dazed.
A legendary boss, he orchestrated the destruction of the Great Zen Temple and the annihilation of the Dream God Immortal twenty years ago. He also plotted to restore the hegemony of the ancient Holy Emperor era, unify the world, and create the Ark of Creation to transcend the shackles of the Great Thousand Worlds. One of the biggest bosses in this book, he was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Liu's physical invasion. Although his soul was not destroyed, he was practically dead.
Slowly opening his eyes, Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji sat facing each other. Although Jiang Liu's physical body could change in countless ways, he felt that even splitting it in two to suppress the two villains was not enough.
Yang Pan, the Creator, possessed a divine soul that was in no way weaker than Hong Xuanji's "Wheel of Life and Death in the Heavens" fist intent. Jiang Liu could suppress one of them with "Demon Seed of the Dao Heart" without any effort, but suppressing two at the same time felt like reaching the limit.
It's not that the ultimate technique can't be suppressed, but rather that after suppressing these two, it would be difficult to use its supernatural powers when defending against enemies.
Within the small world of the Imperial Jade Seal, Jiang Liu silently possessed Emperor Yang Pan, and the "Future Lord" that Emperor Yang Pan had condensed after a lifetime of cultivating the Future Lifeless Scripture also fell into Jiang Liu's hands.
Within the halo behind Yang Pan, there was a person sitting on a lotus platform, with his hands forming a mudra. He wore a golden robe, but it was not the kind of tall hat and strange clothes worn by scholars. Instead, he was bare-chested and had his feet raised. This person had a vertical eye between his eyebrows, an eye in each palm, an eye in the sole of his foot, an eye on the top of his head, and an eye in the center of his back, for a total of nine eyes.
During his cultivation, the nine eyes flashed incessantly, and Jiang Liu felt a torrent of information being processed, with each breath calculating billions of times.
This is the future ruler!
The nine eyes on the "Lord of the Future" are the "Heavenly Eye," "Earthly Eye," "Wisdom Eye," "Intelligence Eye," "Illusion Eye," "Dharma Eye," "True Eye," "Illusory Eye," and "Mysterious Eye."
These nine eyes are all-seeing, able to penetrate heaven and earth, and see through the past and the future, witnessing all kinds of changes.
The "Lord of the Future" possesses an even more mysterious quality: like the "I Ching," it can calculate martial arts, Taoist arts, and all the changes in things.
Hong Yi's path was also inspired by his observation of the future Wusheng Sutra. Although the student has surpassed the teacher now, once the future master has mastered it, he will be able to rival it to some extent. The deepest level of the Great Dao is interconnected.
"Having devoured the Lord of the Future and merged into my divine soul, my innate Dao body should be advancing another step!" Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.
Chapter 462 Transforming the Ship of Creation
Having obtained the prototype of the future ruler, Jiang Liu naturally refined it immediately. Then, using the boundless chaotic energy and numerous spiritual objects within the small world, he forcibly elevated it to its peak, with his divination skills being absolutely top-notch.
However, the future is contained within the Great Dao. To predict the future, or even to predict the future of a specific person, is bound to be fraught with difficulties and the secrets of heaven will be in chaos. This is absolutely the greatest obstacle to the innate numerology and divination.
Predicting the future is difficult, but using the "Lord of the Future" to evolve supernatural powers, capture the opponent's attack flaws, and break the formation is excellent.
They can even instantly deduce the enemy's weakness and then kill them with a single blow.
Combat is only a small part of the "Lord of the Future's" role; its more important role is to condense the restrictions on magical artifacts and enhance their abilities.
First, Jiang Liu used the "Lord of the Future" to break one of the restrictions on the Immortal Binding Rope, further improving his mastery of it. Then, he used the "Lord of the Future" to reforge the bronze cauldron, repairing some of the defects caused by the fusion with the remnants of the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
After all, the remains of the Nine Provinces Cauldrons were only actively integrated into it, rather than being actively refined by the "one that escaped". It is not surprising that there are defects.
After this, Jiang Liu finally took a closer look at the Creation Ship in front of him.
Upon seeing this multi-story ship, Jiang Liu immediately knew that it was the highest level of visualization technique in the Dao of Creation.
The highest visualization technique of the Dao of Creation, the diagram in the Creation Heavenly Scripture, is not a Daoist deity, nor a human figure, but a boat, a Creation Boat that can sail to the other shore!
The Creation Ship described in the Creation Scripture possesses boundless power, its wondrous nature comparable to that of the Amitabha Buddha. In fact, it is even more powerful. Once one has survived the primordial tribulation and reached the other shore, this ship becomes a sacred vessel of merit.
It is evident that the existence of this ship in the "Yangshen" world is equivalent to the role of the Nine Provinces Cauldron in the Nine Provinces; both are treasures of immense merit.
Of course, this applies to a perfectly crafted vessel.
The Creation Dao failed to truly succeed in building the Creation Ship, and it was later completely destroyed. Yang Pan used the power of his entire nation to restore the Creation Ship to its perfect form, but even now, it can only be considered half complete.
To possess such power after recovering only half its original strength demonstrates the terrifying power of this King of Divine Artifacts.
The enormous vessel of creation floated in this bright yellow space of the Imperial Jade Seal.
Both Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji focused their attention on the great ship, having completely mastered the operation of the Creation Ship. The Thunder Pool, the Void Thunder Pool, and the True Suchness Thunder Pool began to operate, breaking through the void to absorb the endless thunderous true energy from the Great Thousand Worlds, and then continuously supplying it with boundless essence.
Above the Ark of Creation, the "Lord of the Future," possessing nine eyes including the "Eye of Wisdom," the "Eye of Intelligence," and the "Eye of Dharma," sits enthroned. Endless information, thoughts, and intentions emanate from the Lord of the Future's nine eyes, gathering and recombining these energies, which ultimately form the shape of a dragon in the sky.
This dragon is noble and proud. Its scales are completely different from those of other dragons. It is hundreds of feet long, winding and twisting, and carries the aura of ancient times.
This is precisely the form of the Ancestral Dragon within the Dragon Tomb!
The Ancestral Dragon was already dead, its body and essence destroyed. But now, Jiang Liu actually used the computational ability of the future Lord to calculate the mysteries of the Ancestral Dragon's essence one by one, and finally used the Creation Boat to restore the Ancestral Dragon.
Subsequently, another primordial dragon evolved.
Jiang Liu took out all the thousand true dragon corpses and the ancestral dragon corpses obtained from the Dragon Tomb, extracted the essence of the ancestral dragon, and integrated it into the ancestral dragon that had evolved.
At the same time, the "Imperial Heaven Beginning Dragon Armor" within Hong Xuanji's body completely melted away. This ancient holy emperor's battle armor, the supreme armor, was forged by the ancient holy emperor "Pan," using materials from the body and soul of the ancient dragon clan's powerful "Beginning Dragon."
The two ancestral dragons reappeared tens of thousands of years after their deaths, intertwined with each other.
The two dragon-shaped energies seemed to merge like heaven and earth, and traces of the Great Dao appeared in the eyes of the "Future Lord," all of which were received by Jiang Liu.
"The myriad spiritual energies of Langxiao, the great transformation energy of Biluo, the great true energy of the central Wuji void... The attacks of this Creation Ship are really too monotonous. The power is sufficient, but it is helpless against top-level defenses. It can only rely on the sturdiness of the ship to charge around."
The nine eyes of the "Lord of the Future" flashed continuously, with countless runes flashing within them. With its powerful calculation ability, it used the boundless essence of the two primordial dragons, born from the union of heaven and earth, to inscribe a grand formation.
The battle patterns from the "Great Ruler" world, the divine patterns from the "Covering the Sky" world, the restrictions from the "Journey to the West" world, and the patterns on the immortal monument from the "Yang God" world—the essence of these elements was extracted, fused together, and engraved on the Ship of Creation.
Samadhi Fire!
The Nightmare Star Soul of the Terrifying God King: When stars die, they transform into ghosts and slay enemies, making it even more lethal than the Three Realms Yuan Qi Cannon.
The Taiyin Gangfeng of the Peng Demon King was also imprinted in the great array on the hull. Although it was not as powerful as the Peng Demon King's peak Xuanxian level, it was still quite strong in terms of simulation.
The demonic ape Ba gathered demonic energy.
All the supernatural powers in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The original weapons on the Ship of Creation, "Langxiao Myriad Spiritual Qi, Biluo Great Transformation Qi, and Central Wuji Void Great True Qi", although powerful enough, are purely offensive weapons, lacking in versatility and easily countered.
Jiang Liu constructed a grand array using the concept of "Future Lord," incorporating numerous divine arrays. Although the overall destructive power did not increase significantly, it created countless variations.
The ability to analyze and exploit enemy weaknesses using the "future master" is sufficient to launch targeted attacks.
Everything in the world is interconnected and mutually restraining.
The power of a weapon is not simply about pursuing destructive force; often, it is enough to defeat a large enemy with a small one, or to break through a system by focusing on a single point.
Although Jiang Liu's actions in transforming the Ship of Creation may seem arbitrary, every step and every construction of the divine rune array was actually the best solution determined after various analyses by the "Lord of the Future".
Over the years, thanks to Emperor Yang Pan's continuous repairs, the "Ark of Creation" has almost been restored to its former glory in terms of materials. It's like the hardware has been upgraded, but the software hasn't been updated in time. It's important to understand that the Great Gan Dynasty accumulated countless rare and precious treasures over sixty-five years, but building this Ark of Creation exhausted the nation's resources.
All of this benefited Jiang Liu. After he mastered the Future Lord, he used the Future Lord's powerful calculation ability—a great supernatural power that allowed him to guess, analyze, calculate, summarize, and generalize billions of pieces of thought information in the blink of an eye—to completely transform the Creation Ship.
Chapter 463 The Death of the Primordial Spirit God
The Zhouyi Academy, established by Hong Yi, was located within the "Hall of Saints".
Hong Yi has initially transformed the Temple of All Saints into a king of divine artifacts. Inside is a small world with a vast space, containing a Taiji Thunder Pool, a treasure vault, and a place to grow Dragon Tooth Rice, all hidden within layers of spacetime arrays.
The most bustling place was, of course, the Great Hall of Saints, which was currently being compiled.
