Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1085 - 313: Great Venerable: It Doesn’t Matter, I Will Act

Dragon battle in the field, its blood is mysterious and yellow.

This is the divine skill of the Yinglong Dao Fruit. Once Yinglong engages in battle with an enemy, it becomes more and more courageous as the battle progresses. Ordinary injuries not only do not affect Yinglong but instead ignite its fighting spirit, allowing its physical strength to continuously increase.

Under the gaze of the Yinglong transformed by the Master of Rain, Elder Da Kun felt a chilling sense of crisis.

He currently manifested a demon body of the fourth-rank, known as "Jiao Demon King." Although being a flood dragon, it is not inferior to a true dragon and even surpasses it in certain aspects.

Back in the Buddha Country, Elder Da Kun ambushed Jiang Li in the form of a flood dragon, and now he transforms into a flood dragon again to respond to Yinglong's sudden attack.

At this moment, both sides stand off, Yinglong coils in the air, overhead the celestial phenomena change with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning intertwining. The dragon's body rises high, its golden pupils locking onto the flood dragon riding the giant waves across. It speaks in a resonant voice: "Does the Dragon Palace seek destruction? How dare it help the Heavenly Monarch!"

"If we don't help, it would lead to total calamity."

The flood dragon's powerful voice echoes, surrounded by surging water waves, "I have already forged a deadly feud with the Emperor Jiang. If the Heavenly Monarch fails, then it would be the Dragon Palace's turn, wouldn't it? Moreover, the Heavenly Monarch promised the control of the Nine Provinces Water System, which both I and Brother Xuanwu find quite intriguing."

Though it was said so, charging into battle for it seems a bit too desperate.

One must know that the Nine Provinces Water System is just an empty promise. The Heavenly Monarch only occupies the land of the Three States. How can he have the face to offer control over the Nine Provinces Water System to others?

As for the Dragon Palace's fate after the Heavenly Monarch's defeat... the reason of sharing the same fate is logical, but it seems unreasonable as a cause for charging into battle.

The Master of Rain naturally does not believe that the Dragon Palace would be this warm-hearted. There must be other reasons behind this, possibly the Great Venerable is pulling the strings.

Others may not know, but Jiang Li knows that the Great Venerable possesses a Demon Refining Pot capable of restraining the Demon Clan, and even a Demon Summoning Banner that records the true names of numerous devil cultivators. Previously, Elder Da Kun was severely injured by Jiang Li, and it was the Great Venerable who rescued him.

Saying that there's no shady deal between these two parties, Jiang Li would never believe it.

As Jiang Li's close aide, Primordial Lord Rain Master is certainly aware of this matter.

She intends to probe, but at this moment, the confrontation in the Star Domain is intensifying, and the flood dragon, sensing the change in the realm, decisively acts.

"Boom!"

Compared to the hasty maneuvers before, the flood dragon, transformed from Da Kun at this moment, is surging with its entire demon energy. Although still appearing as a flood dragon, Da Kun's body has transformed into a phantom enveloping it.

In an instant, the overwhelming waves transform into a torrential deluge sweeping through the sky for thousands of miles, overturning the firmament, and directly attacking the magic realm.

"Don't even think about it!"

The Master of Rain immediately shouts harshly, above her head heavenly phenomena change, evolving wind, rain, and dimming, lightning and thunder intermingling. Secretly, she employed Innate Qi. Through Dao Fruit Divine Power, she controls the changes in the celestial phenomena, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning descend together, blasting towards the thousand-mile deluge.

"Boom!"

On one side is the change of celestial phenomena with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. On the other side is the vast demon energy akin to a boundless sea. The two sides engage in the most direct clash, creating a moment of darkness as if bringing the locality to the apocalypse.

An unprecedented tremor reverberates, the vast deluge emits continuous roar, but on the other hand, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning are also being annihilated.

In their direct clash, ultimately, Elder Da Kun slightly gains the upper hand.

However, in the next moment, the waves split apart, and an extremely brilliant sword light slashes through the deluge.

"Roar!"

Only a dragon's roar is heard, and an azure divine dragon ascends to the sky, transforming into a sky-piercing sword light, grabbed by the claw of the subsequently flying Yinglong. The violent Qi displayed at that moment leaves Elder Da Kun both alarmed and furious!

"Qionghuang Azure Dragon Banner!"

Four hundred years ago, it belonged to the Dragon Palace Master Azure Dragon King who moved covertly, intending to secretly advance in the Divine Country, but was blocked by the Daoist Lord, leading to his death and path dispersion. Even the Azure Dragon Dao Fruit and Qionghuang Azure Dragon Banner fell into the hands of the Emperor who arrived later and were granted to the Meng Family.

How could Elder Da Kun not recognize this thing?

Originally a possession of the Dragon Palace, but now wielded by the opponent, Yinglong wields the sword, integrating the sword light transformed by the Azure Dragon with its own Qi. The furious thunder entwines the sword light like dragons and snakes.

Yinglong belongs to water, while the Azure Dragon is of armor wood, generating thunder through water and wood transformation. Moreover, through the Dao Fruit Divine Power, it controls this phenomenon, the Azure Dragon Sword Light blooms with spring thunder, violently attacking the great waves of the Canghai, splitting the wild billows and giant waves, and in an instant, slashes upon the flood dragon's body.

Too fast!

The sword light, like thunder light, is domineering and forceful yet not lacking the swiftness of thunder. The Master of Rain herself is also a Sword Dao expert, fully mastering this abruptly appearing sword.

In an instant, blood light sprouted and was further struck into blood-colored smoke by the thunder. However, following that, the flood dragon's body rapidly changes again, transforming back into Da Kun's form to halt the sword light's further damage.

The blood that was scorched by the thunder transformed into wild waves, the reappeared Da Kun's body bore wounds like fissures, and the blood even submerged the thunder.

"Water Strike Three Thousand Miles."

He roars, the blood mixed with the deluge, violently rebounding and dispersing the sword light.

The Master of Rain wielded the sword as if flying, the Azure Dragon Sword Light slashing through waves and breaking floods, manipulating wind, rain, thunder, and lightning to forcibly block the overwhelming torrents.

At the same time, the Star Domain transformed once more, its realm expanding like a billowing banner, with thousands of stars falling from it.

"A horse that encounters emptiness will gallop all its life."

Four stars—Earth Void, Earth Tribulation, Jie Kong, and Xun Kong—rose in the four directions, simultaneously surrounding the center. Star power transformed into a pitch-black veil, pressing against the True Void Home, as if intending to completely swallow this space.

Above them, the Vermilion Bird hovered, aligning with the Star Constellation. The two people who had been contending back and forth for years now displayed extraordinary harmony, even their Cultivation Techniques and Dao Fruits perfectly aligning.

In the face of emptiness, Heaven's stem does not reach, the Five Elements perishing, running back and forth in vain, repeated movements only a futile waste.

At this moment, the True Void Home, trapped in the center, was that very horse!

Meanwhile, the Southern Ming Li Fire was burning the Star Essence, transforming into a rain of fire, forcing Lingxuzi to focus mainly on defense with its overwhelming offensive.

Below him was the True Void Home. If he retreated, it would be the Princess and Tianxuan both striking the True Void Home. At that time, no matter how skillfully Tan Wuwei wielded his divine powers, the True Void Home would be doomed.

"Nine Palaces Qian Heaven, Eight Extremes Kun Earth."

At this moment, Lingxuzi could no longer use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber to strike the enemy. He waved his horsetail whisk, transforming it into talismans, the Nine Palaces and Eight Extremes interlacing. Two giant talismans merged, holding back the onslaught of countless stars and the Southern Ming Li Fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

Deafening sounds continuously erupted, the Qian Tian Kun Earth Talisman relentlessly pressed downward, forcing Lingxuzi to descend.

Watching this, their retreat was about to be cut off.

In the Great Ming Hall of the Divine Capital, Jiang Li focused on this scene, his gaze intense, "Aren't you going to take action, Heavenly Monarch?"

······

······

"Great Venerable, it seems the Heavenly Monarch's side is about to lose."

The same scene unfolded in the Wushan Taihao Hall. The star symbols evolved, forming a massive mirror reflecting the battle at the north-south divide.

The Heavenly Charm Demon God watched this scene and said, "Unexpectedly, even though these three have not been promoted for long, they already possess such capabilities. Lingxuzi is the Sect Leader of the Upper Pure Sect, Elder Da Kun has been a devil cultivator for years, only Tan Wuwei is slightly weak, yet they're caught in a predicament."

"It's not quite like that."

The Great Venerable watched this scene, speaking calmly, "Tianxuan could have been promoted years ago, but she suppressed it. Over the years, she has mastered her Dao Fruit Divine Power and with my good brother's help, her power has grown. Her strength is not beneath someone like Lingxuzi, who has been at the third grade for a long time. Ji Lingguang's Vermilion Bird Dao Fruit carries the aspect of the Star God, aligning with Tianxuan, and can display considerable strength. As for the Primordial Lord Rain Master..."

"What about the Primordial Lord Rain Master?" the Heavenly Charm asked curiously, "She doesn't have the same conditions as Tianxuan, even with the help of the Qionghuang Azure Dragon Banner, her strength is unexpectedly formidable."

Even with a Third Grade Dao Artifact in hand, facing Elder Da Kun's vast demon energy, she shouldn't be able to sever it so easily. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Yinglong Dao Fruit is indeed an exceptional third-grade Dao Fruit, as evidenced by its difficulty in advancement. However, such a leap in strength is somewhat too extraordinary.

The Great Venerable heard this and showed a slightly enigmatic smile but did not answer. He merely extended a hand, presenting a book wrapped in red thread to the Heavenly Charm.

The book opened automatically upon being held, but the opened page was blank.

"This is..." The Heavenly Charm showed a puzzled expression.

"This is the marriage line of the Master of Rain, also known as Gongsun Yuli," the Great Venerable said, "Initially, under my control, the marriage line of the Master of Rain could be seen through the marriage certificate, but now nothing can be seen. The same goes for Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue. Anyone with an affinity with a Supreme is protected by their Qi Shu, making them imperceptible."

Among these Supreme figures, each one is flawless. Even those who are not good at Yi Dao can block cause and effect, preventing others from probing. Even their close ones are sheltered, making divination difficult.

The most typical example is the Great Venerable himself.

He uses the Evil Summoning Banner to protect the Devil God Sect members, making it impossible for outsiders to perform divinations on them.

Jiang Li did not do the same as the Great Venerable, but those close to him cannot be divined because all causes and effects are collected by the Karma Collection, cutting them off.

"Do you mean... the Primordial Lord Rain Master is also with Jiang Li..." The Heavenly Charm's eyes widened, surprise evident on her typically charming face, her small mouth involuntarily opening.

"The Jiang Sikong... no, Emperor Jiang, is at odds with the Gongsun Family?"

In this case, it matches up; the Primordial Lord Rain Master gained the support of Jiang Li, rapidly increasing her power, thus able to use the Azure Dragon Sword Light to cut through the torrents.

Even though her power still falls short of Elder Da Kun, having enough foundation allows her the possibility of breaking techniques.

"Therefore, even if Tan Wuwei and the others are defeated in this battle, they will not be trapped."

The Great Venerable chuckled, "I will reveal to them the path of survival."
