Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

As soon as they touched the monk's body, they felt that horrifying pressure.

The Pure Buddha Beads radiated brilliance once more.

The giant, ethereal figure slowly raised its hands.

With this Innate Buddha Treasure, the four finally dispelled the force from their comrade, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a muffled thud sounded in their ears!

Blood plasma splattered onto their bewildered faces.

A cold blade pierced through their comrade's chest, protruding straight from his back.

Instinctively, they looked up, only to see a White Jade creation suspended in the Sky Curtain, calmly overlooking them. The cold blade that pierced through the monk's body was exactly the long spear held by it.

They had seen this spear not long ago, handcrafted by Chi Yunzi, and it was a Six Tempered Spiritual Treasure.

Now they saw it again, and it was vastly different.

The abundant Tribulation Power enveloping it showed it was clearly a Nine Tempering Supreme Treasure!

One must know that tempering Spiritual Treasures is not simply a matter of piling on Tribulation Power; it emulates Innate Spiritual Treasures, and as you progress, Heavenly Dao increasingly rejects it, with higher chances of failure.

Yet, in just a few days, the Divine Dynasty's General of Southern Defense succeeded in tempering it three more times consecutively.

With this Nine Tempered Spiritual Treasure, combined with his profound cultivation and the White Jade Dharma Body, Shen Yi astonishingly managed to kill in one encounter before the Pure Buddha Beads.

One of the Five Directions faltered, the ethereal figure grew dim.

"Restrain him!"

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva quickly reacted, pouring all his Tribulation Power into the Pure Buddha Beads.

Although the Nine Tempered Spiritual Treasures are said to rival Innate Treasures, that's because the true Innate Treasures are held by First Rank Giants and are not easily seen in the world, leading cultivators to have such absurd thoughts, wishing to chase those naturally formed items with human efforts.

Even though Second Grade Cultivators cannot harness the full capabilities of the Innate Buddha Treasures, they are certainly not comparable to a mere Nine Tempering spear.

"Suppress!"

The four remaining Great Freedom Bodhisattvas didn't hesitate, rushing forward, their formidable Dharma Bodies directly pinning Shen Yi down, each of them firmly seizing his limbs.

Just as they were about to channel Buddha Light to completely subdue him, the expressions of the four changed once again.

Shen Yi did not struggle; the four arms behind him leisurely extended, and in each palm emerged a treasure.

A square Golden Brick, the Non-action Sword, a hefty Big Seal, and even a Wooden Fish.

Some were gifted by Chi Yunzi, some obtained from Lingxu, and even some seized from the Bodhisattvas—at this moment, they all burst forth with Nine Tempered Divine Powers!

"..."

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva was utterly stupefied.

He thought Shen Yi might be a genius, slightly ahead on the path, but after all, he was much older and believed his foundation wouldn't be inferior.

Tempering a treasure nine times is extremely taxing on Tribulation Power.

He only possessed one such item himself.

But in Shen Yi's hands, these things seemed limitless, appearing continuously, dazzling the eyes.

The Golden Brick crushed the monk's head, the Non-action Sword pierced the Bodhisattva's chest.

No matter how many Nine Tempered Spiritual Treasures one has, they cannot surpass the Pure Buddha Bead unless that Innate Treasure is driven by a First Rank Giant. Even if it's a Great Aspiration Bodhisattva, exhausting the relic cannot manifest its true power.

"Stop!"

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva watched helplessly as his comrades were struck down, his emotions stirring, emitting a sorrowful howl.

He had a foreboding sensation that if this person was let go today, the entire Bodhi Sect would be plunged into a precarious situation.

He no longer wielded Tribulation Power but directly transformed his Dharma Body into the Fruit Position, merging into the gigantic figure.

Under the full exertion of a Great Aspiration Bodhisattva, the ethereal figure solidified in an instant, its blurry visage gradually becoming clear, the Buddha Light swelling into a bright red Kasaya.

The Buddha Aspect revealed its presence.

As it rose, even the heavens collapsed.

The hand covering the heavens descended, aimed straight at the White Jade figure below!

"..."

Shen Yi casually slipped the last monk from his body, slightly raised his head, and the golden flame within the White Jade body seemed on the verge of dispersal.

He closed his eyes, and from the Tribulation Power extracted from ten Great Freedom Bodhisattvas, leaving aside the part tempered into Spiritual Treasures, the remainder surged into his right arm.

The convergence of two paths, coupled with the foundation accumulated by the Bodhisattvas over years, caused his clearly defined fingers to slowly tighten.

"You want to kill me."

Shen Yi gently breathed out, and upon reopening his eyes, his expression was cold and resolute.

He defiantly punched toward the sky, withstanding the colossal palm descending from the Sky Curtain.

Boom!

At the moment of contact, an earth-shattering wave rolled forth, seemingly causing half of the East Continent to sink three feet.

In the instant, the colossal and solid figure in the sky shattered, the bright red Kasaya seemingly torn by invisible hands, yet the White Jade creation stood proudly.

"Let your Buddha come in person."

Shen Yi lowered his arm, quietly watching above.

Below the Pure Buddha Bead, the Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva remained in a seated pose, eyes wide open, but his body was already covered in cracks, like a porcelain doll ready to shatter at any moment.
