Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1083 - 311: The Command That Moves Mountains and Rivers (Part 2)
Emperor Jiang is now truly the champion of Great Zhou, carrying the Nine Provinces on his shoulders. For others, it's difficult to reveal a scene beyond a certain distance, but for Jiang Li, it's no problem.
At this time, a stream of light flickers across the sky in the Round Light, with a vast flow of Qi mechanism surging like a mighty river, about to cross the grand river dividing the north and south — the Cang River.
Jiang Li is preparing in the Great Ming Hall, while their own third-rank strong people have already advanced, directly attacking the South.
Just as the stream of light is about to sweep over the great river, suddenly, the river roars, and a water curtain shoots up to the sky, exuding a muddy yellow hue. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The murky Qi mechanism instantly pervades the world, yin wind and black clouds roll, hiding layers of murderous intent.
The stream of light encounters the yin wind and immediately halts, then Divine Light whirls in the wind, clashing with that yin wind, three figures looming in the sky.
Tianxuan, Primordial Lord Rain Master, and the newly promoted Princess are the ones advancing first, while Jiang Li and Sun Wukong support from behind. Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud is exceedingly swift, able to reach the South in the shortest time, while Jiang Li can directly descend as long as he operates his divine skills.
If the three can break into a certain distance, it will be enough to give the court the upper hand.
Only, the other side seems to have also realized the strategy the court might employ.
Or perhaps... they saw it.
Tianxuan looks at the rising murky stream ahead, pondering, 'Did Tan Wuwei see the future in advance?'
Instead of waiting for the three to enter the South before intercepting, they directly set up arrangements within the dividing Cang River. This couldn't have been merely observing the near future. Setting up an array in the river requires time.
While reflecting, Tianxuan sees the murky stream split in front, Tan Wuwei and Lingxuzi rise into the air.
Behind Tan Wuwei, a White Lotus blooms, and the ethereal True Void Home appears, resonating with Buddhist chanting within, its aura not weaker than before.
Her Lifeless Mother Dharma Manifestation was sent into her substitute body and shattered by Karma Tathagata's three sleeves, disintegrating into ash, and even the followers from the Buddha Country are now being purged, yet her aura hasn't weakened, clearly abnormal.
The only explanation...
"You are once again forcibly converting innocent people in the South," Tianxuan said coldly.
This might be the only way to explain why Tan Wuwei's Dharma Manifestation was broken, yet her aura remained unaffected.
Tianxuan is extremely disgusted by this. Though she harbors a ruthless side within her, once instructing the Master of Rain and Jiang Li to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Taiping Sect members, she is at least the Gongsun Family Head, retaining compassion for innocent people.
Moreover, the people of Great Zhou today are also a part of Jiang Li's divine skill power source; this Great Zhou is her family's.
"Lifeless Mother, True Void Home."
Tan Wuwei recites softly, saying: "The South is actually where Lifeless Mother preaches in Great Zhou. As the Mo Family leader, Tan Wuwei has been active in the South for years, cultivating quite a belief. They are all voluntary."
"Ha, voluntary," Tianxuan sneered, "voluntary, or coerced."
The people can be guided to follow, but not made to understand. The system of Great Zhou isn't without flaws, beneath the stable Jiangshan Mountain is the implementation of the ignorance strategy.
This is considered a joint sin by the Royal Family and Confucianism alike, and as a member of the clan, Tianxuan naturally would not feign ignorance.
The wisdom of the people isn't awakened, where is the choice? Most are voluntarily coerced.
Not moved by Tan Wuwei's sophistry, the three of Tianxuan gradually reveal murderous intent.
Meanwhile, across the great river roils, the yellow hue stains, evidently intending to reconfigure the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation to intercept the three of Tianxuan, preventing them from settling the battlefield in the South.
"Ladies, if you bypass the array, don't blame me for using the rivers as bonds to push the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation towards the Divine Capital," Lingxuzi casually remarks, waving away any brutality in his words with a flick of the horsetail whisk, grasping the key point of the confrontation.
In such vast lands, bypassing isn't difficult; with their strength, it only takes a moment to bypass the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation directly.
As long as they don't enter the formation, it won't trap them.
Therefore, Lingxuzi utters threats: if they bypass, he'll push forward. In a way, it's a swap, causing harm to both sides.
Yet, the Heavenly Monarch's strength is inherently extremely powerful, previously even breaking through; [Tri-legged Nine Provinces] is merely embellishment for him. Even without the divine skills' support, his strength remains hardly diminished. However, Jiang Li significantly requires divine skills' support.
He's been practicing for a short time, even after obtaining various resources and snatching the Earth Uncle's fruit, he still requires Dao Fruit Divine Power to compete with those old guys.
The Heavenly Monarch indeed needs a basic stance, but Jiang Li needs it even more.
These words aim to force the three into the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.
But...
As Lingxuzi's words fall, Tan Wuwei's eyes shimmer and her expression changes.
Tianxuan calmly extracts a scroll, seemingly bearing the Emperor's decree.
Tianxuan unrolls the decree, reading leisurely: "Emperor's decree, within Great Zhou, no mountains and rivers may be used to form arrays."
Accompanied by this decree's issuance, wind rises over mountains and rivers. Faintly, a vast will descends, directly suppressing the forces of mountains and rivers.
The stained rivers surge, forcibly resisting the muddy yellow light's stain.
The Nine Curves Yellow River Formation may be an ancient fierce formation, but its nature is borrowing the Yellow River's turbidness to form an array. It doesn't genuinely require a Yellow River but certainly a sufficiently large river.
Without a Yellow River, how could it be called the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation?
Now, Jiang Li has forbidden the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation from its root, regardless of how marvelous its formation might be, or how fierce its formation could be, with its base severed, the formation can't manifest, no matter the wrath.
At least here, they can't form an array; this territory is still ruled by Jiang Li.
The sudden change directly disrupts Lingxuzi's plans, unexpectedly revealing the unreasonable nature of [Oral Heavenly Constitution].
Jiang Li hasn't arrived, yet he removed a major reliance from the enemy.
The formation of the Nine Curves Yellow River has just begun to develop and collapsed, the muddy yellow color swiftly retreating from the rivers, even the yin wind and black clouds are fading. At this moment, the offensive has arrived!
"You two, witness my methods."
Voice hasn't reached yet, the Magic Realm arrives first.
The Star Domain envelops the sky in an instant, the starry night replacing the sky, with stars in motion, evolving numerous killing intentions.
"Po Jun Dark Star, Grave in the Water."
The two great Dark Stars, Po Jun and Ju Men, rise simultaneously, with the rivers treated as the opposing array base, now being used by Tianxuan.
The long river hangs in the sky, as if grabbed by an invisible hand, pulled into the sky, then with a flourish, the river reverses, wielding Dark Star power sweeping the sky, star brilliance reflecting in the river, resembling a Milky Way descending to the earthly world.
"True Void Home."
Tan Wuwei already glimpsed the future, attempting to withdraw into another space with the True Void Home, enclosing herself and Lingxuzi.
But at that moment, Primordial Lord Rain Master makes a strong move, transforming into the Yinglong Dragon, a spiral, the massive dragon body instantly occupying the sky, claw reaching down.
Immensely violent power emerges under the dragon claw, forcibly smashing space, expelling the True Void Home from the overlap with the sky, the dragon claw descending upon the home, strength pouring, space shattering.
Without much subtlety, only using the most extreme violence.
To deal with someone like Tan Wuwei who can predict the future, only the extreme method can stop them from finding a turning point.
Even if the future can be seen, they can only brace themselves against it.
In the blink of an eye, disaster strikes. Tan Wuwei watches the dragon claw descend, Dragon Flower Treasure Tree appearing behind her, White Lotus blooming, countless Daoists sitting above, chanting in unison: "Lifeless Mother, True Void Home."
