"boom!"

In an instant.

When the sword flashed, the heavens and earth turned crimson.

Like a net covering the sky and the earth, it is everywhere, covering the entire area and descending upon you.

"Boom!"

The sword's roar was like thunder, exploding outwards.

That extremely fierce and malevolent crimson sword light was like the manifestation of the innate Dao of Slaughter.

With a single slash in mid-air, the boundary between reality and illusion was shattered.

Just as it was about to cleave that crystal-clear, exquisite heart of nine orifices in two.

Suddenly it began to rotate, reflecting a dazzling array of five colors.

"Boom!"

The next moment.

A dazzling five-colored divine light, radiating across the heavens and earth, burst forth from the heart of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite.

With a single sweep of his hand, he sent the ancient and elegant sword flying from Bai Cang's grasp.

This five-colored divine light, shaped like a sharp sword, continuously rotated in the colors of blue, yellow, red, white, and black.

In the dim light, it seemed as if a Taoist priest wearing a tall crown with feathers and a five-colored feather robe was appearing and disappearing in the middle.

He has a broad forehead, round feet, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, and lips like cinnabar.

His body was like gold reflecting fire, his five-colored feathers were bright, his supernatural powers were great and magnificent, and his five rays of light shone brightly.

It is also like a huge peacock, seemingly crossing the boundary from the illusion and descending into the real world.

With narrow eyes and a red crown, adorned with necklaces, and feathers spread out, their five colors swirling.

"This is... the Five-Colored Divine Light?!"

With a thought, Bai Cang's previously somewhat illusory five-colored divine light suddenly became real.

The enormous peacock came to life.

It was as if they were truly about to cross the boundary between reality and illusion and become real living beings.

"Pah! You're so foul-mouthed, you can't control your thoughts!"

Bai Cang quickly realized what was happening and gently patted his mouth.

Bai Cang had actually figured out the operating mechanism of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart quite well.

He even had some guesses about its origins and history.

To put it simply, it's nothing more than the eight words: "The mind prevails over the external, and all things are treated as one."

Moreover, the source of this miraculous power lies within Bai Cang himself.

Back then, Bai Cang combined the formula of "Manipulating Creation" + "Heart-Mind Divine Number" + "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter" + "Square Inch Mountain" + "Spirit Platform Scripture" to create a secret technique called: Mind External Transformation!

He then used it to refine the "Heaven in a Pot," transforming it into his own mental image.

This "Primordial Treasure," formed by the fusion of the nine Confucian classics, was precisely integrated into the "Heavenly Vessel" under the influence of the "Creation of Heaven" ritual, thus acquiring its miraculous ability to "transform illusion into reality and take on any form according to the object."

Moreover, it merged with its own source essence, transforming into a further "mind surpassing the exterior, and all things becoming one," a case of the student surpassing the teacher.

In this way, the "Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart" can be both real and illusory, and it also has the quality of "telepathy," which can conjure up the most powerful being in the opponent's mind.

And it allows it to transcend the boundaries between the virtual and the real, getting infinitely closer to reality.

Most importantly, such illusions must be based on something, and cannot be imagined out of thin air.

The more powerful the "host's" imagination and the more extensive its "knowledge," the more realistic and powerful the "mental image" it conjures up.

For example, this "Five-Colored Divine Light" clearly comes from Bai Cang's memories and the "Five-Colored Mysterious Light" supernatural power he has mastered.

It was clearly just a "fantasy," yet it could transcend the boundary between reality and illusion, and even brush away the sword light unleashed by Daoist Yujing.

So in a sense, Bai Cang was betrayed by "himself," and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

but……

"It's just my thinking power, anyone can say that!"

Bai Cang thought to himself, and a golden light appeared, which then covered his entire body.

"boom!"

In an instant, Bai Cang, whose entire body was covered in golden light, suddenly exuded an aura of immortality and indestructibility.

It seems to be formed from immortal gold, possessing the defensive power to ward off all laws.

His body and mind were filled with an explosive and terrifying power, as well as an indomitable and indomitable fighting spirit.

The stronger the fighting spirit, the fiercer the combat power.

A boundless mind yields boundless power.

It was indeed the Battle Golden Body!

Its body is indestructible, its fighting spirit is boundless, its defense is unparalleled, and the stronger its fighting will, the more ferocious its combat power.

"boom!"

Bai Cang reached out and grasped the ancient and elegant sword that had been swept away by the "Five-Colored Divine Light," and it instantly reappeared in his hand.

Then, with a slash in mid-air, an incomparably terrifying and overwhelming sword aura burst forth.

The sword energies merged into one, weaving together a terrifying array of killing power.

In an instant, the sword light shone brightly, shattering illusions and destroying space and time.

The continuous sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, turning them crimson.

It was as if even the eternal ages of the past and future, and the boundless void of the six directions and eight wastelands, were all sealed off by the sword light.

Heaven and earth, past and future, were all shrouded in crimson sword light, without exception.

Sword lights rose up, intertwining with layers of chaos.

Bai Cang suddenly stretched out his right hand again, his five fingers spread out as if encompassing time and space and the universe, and slapped it down from the sky.

"Boom!"

In an instant, countless spaces and times overlapped, intertwining with myriad chaos, as if the vast universe had been encompassed by a giant hand that blotted out the sky.

An illusory river, without beginning or end, meanders and twists at an infinitely unknown height, weaving together a magnificent and bizarre spectacle.

It is as if the infinitely vast Sumeru is contained within a mustard seed.

It appears infinitely large, yet also infinitely small; its largest portion is Mount Sumeru beyond it, while its smallest portion is as small as a mustard seed.

Only the overlapping and endless expanse of time and space severed the boundary between reality and illusion, and isolated the inner and outer aspects of the mind.

It was as if a boundless, chaotic darkness enveloped that five-colored divine light.

Whether it was the Taoist Kong Xuan wearing a tall crown and a feathered robe, or the enormous, sword-like innate peacock, both were crushed layer by layer and annihilated piece by piece under the pressure of the overwhelming and majestic power.

Like a cataclysmic upheaval, it will be annihilated in the endless storms of time and space.

That dazzling five-colored divine light, which shone brightly throughout the world, was also shattered in mid-air, turning into countless fragments of spiritual light.

"Boom!"

Just then, countless shattered rays of light vanished like dream bubbles.

A crystal-clear, exquisitely crafted heart with nine orifices once again manifested from nothingness.

Then a golden light appeared, quickly rendering the whole thing and transforming it into the image of a golden, monstrous ape.

It had a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, its entire body was covered in golden fur, and its pure gold eyes were bloodshot. Its size was only that of an average person.

She wore a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a golden chainmail, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.

A heavy Ruyi Jingu Bang, as heavy as the sky, was held high above its head by its two arms and then slammed down.

"Your mother, the one who summons the Victorious Fighting Buddha with the Golden Body of Victory, is that right?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Cang couldn't help but think to himself, "The Victorious Fighting Buddha is the Victorious Fighting Buddha, but what's with this Great Sage Equal to Heaven outfit?"
