Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1102 - 328: Heaven and Earth, a Single Finger

The Power of Elder Da Kun was so immense that it was peerless, yet in terms of quality, it ultimately could not match Jiang Li.

If the Taisu Qi were so easily countered, wouldn't Jiang Li's efforts in reversing the innate have been for nothing?

Moreover, Jiang Li now harmonized with heaven and earth, and with a mere thought, commanded the great forces of the world.

Compared to the previous encounter, Elder Da Kun showed no progress whatsoever, even having been injured by the hands of Primordial Lord Rain Master before. Meanwhile, Jiang Li's strength improved by leaps and bounds, his Dao Fruit elaborated, and the Five Primordial Elements advanced, greatly enhancing his power.

Even though Jiang Li had to allocate part of his strength to maintain the seal on the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he still displayed dominance over the vast majority of those at the third grade.

However, Jiang Li at this moment was not only faced with Elder Da Kun.

In the divided demon energy of the Canghai, countless dark cold lights burst forth, and frigid cold energy descended overwhelming, turning into a cold tide rushing towards Jiang Li.

Besides Elder Da Kun, there was also the Xuanwu King.

"Water·Tidal Wave."

Yet Jiang Li remained unmoved, merely uttering true words, and a violent torrent instantly evolved.

Clearly, it was a move that evolved into a torrent, yet the giant waves arose with true substance, smashing down with mountain-crushing momentum.

The Divine Skill [Outer Object Transformation] had become as if second nature to Jiang Li, manifesting according to his will, instantly turning illusory into reality, also carrying the power of [Emperor Emerges from Zhen].

Both Jiang Li's divine skills and cultivation techniques were now completely mastered by him, freely combined and used.

The roaring torrent, carrying a natural disaster-like destructiveness imagery, clashed with the cold tide. In an instant, the torrent was frozen, then shattered by successive waves, countless ice shards splintered wildly, revealing a scene of both magnificence and terror.

The demon energy Canghai was dispersed, revealing within it a giant shadow, draconic and serpent-like, breaking out from the current, with a grim dragon head covered with dark scales, emanating extreme Yin and cold energy, yet the body revealed was entirely serpentine.

This was precisely the Xuanwu King's Xuan Serpent form.

The Xuan Serpent raised its head, spewing black energy beams. The cold tide instantly gathered, and Xuanming True Water formed numerous Yin Thunders, exploding thunderously.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom—"

Xuanming True Water combined with Elder Da Kun's demon energy, the composite force transformed into Yin Thunder, akin to the collaboration between Xuanwu King and Elder Da Kun, pushing Yin Thunder's power to the limit. The cold lightning thoroughly shattered the torrent, freezing everything in its path, then blasted apart by the power of Yin Thunder.

Elder Da Kun's demon energy continued endlessly, with Xuanming Yin Thunder constantly forming and exploding, billions of cold beams filling every inch of space, extreme cold energy intending to freeze everything.

"Not bad."

Even Jiang Li couldn't help but praise, then All Heaven Divine Sha swept forth, splitting the space, twisting into deep black holes all around.

The cold light and beams were mostly swallowed by these black holes, the vast demon energy consumed, revealing a dragon and a serpent.

Elder Da Kun revealed the Jiao Demon King form, while the Xuanwu King transformed into the Xuan Serpent, the Flood Dragon extending several hundred feet, the Xuan Serpent's length immeasurable. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Dragon and serpent roared together, attacking from both sides, the dragon fierce and masculine, the serpent displaying a lethal grace, precisely using demon bodies in martial arts, combining with divine intent.

Dragon Palace, a power with enduring legacy, even had techniques from the pre-End of Dharma demon clan's times, with Dragon Palace's devil cultivators using demon bodies to practice demon martial arts, fully unleashing the demon cultivators' physical might, ranking above most of Divine Country's powers in martial arts combat.

As King Shu previously demonstrated the "True Dragon Nine Forms," it actually originated from Dragon Palace.

The two-third-grade beings cooperated seamlessly, the dragon and serpent demon martial arts displayed their ferocity, yet also combined the profoundness of hardness and softness, extraordinary in power. Under their joint assault, they forcefully passed through the distorted space, directly striking at Jiang Li.

Yet they could never have envisioned that Jiang Li, now akin to the Heavenly Monarch, was unafraid of powerful attacks.

The dragon and serpent attacking from both sides found themselves confronting Jiang Li head-on. Emperor Jiang's form instantly transformed, massive as a god demon, with the Taisu Fist meeting the dragon and serpent head-on, the grand and sublime fist power breaking through the gang qi of dragon and serpent, striking their heads.

"Boom!"

Their powerful physical bodies couldn't withstand the fist edge, whether scale or flesh, all disintegrated before Taisu Fist, their "bodies" shattered. The dragon and serpent retreated instantly, forcibly avoiding the fist edge, their blood pouring like rivers.

Yet with their retreat, the Qi Mechanism was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Li.

"Chi You's Flag."

In the sky above, from within the dark clouds, a dark red glow transformed into a crimson comet, descending into Jiang Li's hand, turning into a Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword.

The divine blade's edge whirled with Evil Qi, Jiang Li wielding the weapon in the sky, moving for the first time since revealing himself.

A lethal sense of crisis, like an arrow, pierced through the hearts of Xuanwu King and Elder Da Kun in an instant, as the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, trailing a flag-like trajectory, slashed towards the head of the Xuan Serpent.

Danger!

Even with his turtle body not present, Xuanwu King could sense impending doom. Without hesitation, he shrank his demon body, transforming from Xuan Serpent to human form, but little did he realize that Jiang Li's colossal Fatian Xiangdi form was also shrinking.

"Xuanwu's Defense."

Xuanwu King's body was enveloped again by a turtle-shell-like Qi Shield, with a phantom of a Dragon Turtle covering him, clearly linking to the power of another body.

The crimson glow, like a comet, streaked across the sky, and in an instant, pursued Xuanwu King. The divine evil blade's edge cleft through the air, and in a blink, "Xuanwu's Defense" was dismantled, seven blood lights bursting from Xuanwu King's body.

The limbs and neck, head and chest, even with the robust demon body, they were seriously wounded by the Chi You's Flag transformed into the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, especially at the neck, where the blood, under pressure, gushed forth like a spring.

Strong!

Unreasonably strong!

Power, divine skills, moves, weaponry, each aspect was exceptional. The renowned Xuanwu King of Dragon Palace was seriously injured within a few moves.

"Heavenly Monarch!"

Xuanwu King forcibly compressed his wounds, rapidly retreating, while his neck bled like a fountain, shouting aloud, "How long will you just watch?"

Letting Jiang Li make a move against the Dragon Palace aligns perfectly with the Heavenly Monarch's interests because he wants the Dragon Palace to also be sucked into this turmoil, unable to extricate themselves. But if the combat power of the Dragon Palace is damaged, for instance, a third-grade ally falls, it would mean one less strong ally for the Heavenly Monarch.

At this point, everything is still within the Heavenly Monarch's acceptable range, not only causing Jiang Li and the Dragon Palace to engage in fierce combat but also revealing some unexpected elements.

Like... the Great Venerable might have encountered an unexpected situation.

"Enough."

The sky dome twisted, the hundred-zhang square sky transformed into a gigantic palm, pressing down from above, with space shrinking as the giant palm approached, like a funnel, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Ultimately, this hundred-zhang wide palm would shrink to the size of an ordinary person, directly landing on Jiang Li's body.

Moreover, the lower part of the funnel already enveloped Jiang Li.

The Yellow Emperor's Four Faces indeed doesn't fear being besieged, capable of dealing with many enemies simultaneously, but if constrained and unable to move, then there's no way out.

The Heavenly Monarch also having mastered the Four Faces of the Yellow Emperor, naturally knows how to restrain Jiang Li. This palm's purpose is to hold Jiang Li down, allowing Elder Da Kun and the Xuanwu King to escape.

Of course, given the current injured state of these two, what the Heavenly Monarch would do to them after they leave is uncertain.

They underestimated Jiang Li too much, leading to their severe injuries and perilous circumstances.

Provided the development goes according to the Heavenly Monarch's plan.

"But it's not enough."

Jiang Li responded calmly, activating divine skills, "Horizon."

The distance in space expanded wildly, turning a short step into a far horizon.

"A Step."

The distance from the ends of the earth transformed into a single step, directly bringing Jiang Li closer to Elder Da Kun.

[Emperor Emerges from Zhen] As long as the power is sufficient, all things and phenomena must conform to Jiang Li's will. Especially after extracting some cause and effect from the Yu King Dao Fruit to strengthen [Emperor Emerges from Zhen], Jiang Li feels almost omnipotent.

"No space shifting."

The Primordial Qi within his body flowed out like a flood, finally anchoring the space, temporarily preventing the Heavenly Monarch and the Xuanwu King from using corresponding magic doors to approach.

The scale of space was elongated, and in that brief period, Elder Da Kun had to face Jiang Li alone.

How brief is this moment?

Is it a time to drink a cup of tea? A few dozen breaths? Or is it in the blink of an eye?

Even though Jiang Li is now a supreme being, even if his divine skills have advanced, he can't block the Heavenly Monarch for too long.

If the already second-grade Karma Tathagata were here, it would be about right.

In the rush, it's hard to reach a conclusion, and Elder Da Kun can't find a definitive answer, much less calculate.

Because he is facing the greatest life-and-death crisis of his life, facing an invincible enemy.

At this moment, Elder Da Kun doesn't dare divert his attention even slightly, not even a bit of hesitation. He can only resist with all his might, struggle, and contend with this terrifying opponent.

Blood and flesh altered madly, and in the blink of an eye, Elder Da Kun's body expanded from a flood dragon into a Kun fish dozens of miles long, and it's still growing larger.

"Water Strike Three Thousand Miles."

Da Kun dashed across the sea, evoking tidal waves whether it's demonic energy or real water currents, wave after wave transformed into a vast ocean, stirring wild waves over three thousand li.

The expanded space overwhelmed by the tides, even if space's dimension infinitely elongated, would have to be flooded by these tides, not to mention Elder Da Kun's body is still expanding.

His limit is a thousand li, and when his body expanded to a thousand li, the tides flowed with this thousand-li body, unwilling to believe it couldn't break through this space.

Majestic, grand, surging... Words used to describe the sea at this moment can crown this scene.

Elder Da Kun merged with infinite demon energy, turbulent tides rushing as if a catastrophe descends, replaying the scenes of ancient times when water flowed endlessly.

"Foolish, if you had fled with all your might, you might indeed have had a chance to escape with your life, but unfortunately, you chose the worst path."

Facing such a heart-shaking scene, Jiang Li lightly snorted, Chi You's Flag fell into the Taiji behind him, becoming the Extreme Yin, while the Yang Pole was formed by the combination of Ochre Whip and Divine Farmer's Cauldron.

The Taiji Wheel, merging with the body, Jiang Li used the Taixu Body to bear Taiji, even integrating the power of three Dao Artifacts into his body.

The Taixu Taiji as one, even compatible with the power of Dao Artifacts, Jiang Li brought his fingers together as a sword, myriad things condensed at the fingertips, space manifested.

"Heaven and Earth, One Finger."

All things have common properties, and this one finger of Jiang Li's converges those common properties, guiding heaven and earth and all creations.

The power of Heaven and Earth can indeed be contained within one finger, and all things, all phenomena, can transform into "one."

Jiang Li's fingertip, seemingly carrying heaven and earth, punctuated with an incomparably heavy stroke.

The Canghai split in front, the tides shattered upfront, and infinite demon energy was at a disadvantage.

Just like the previously shown Taisu Fist, where the great form is shapeless, great sound is rare, the grandeur of the dimensions of heaven and earth is hard to comprehend through perception.

However, it can be reflected through the target's transformation.

The shapeless strike shattered infinite demon energy and struck the immense Kun Fish, the rapidly expanding Elder Da Kun suddenly stopped transforming.

How brief is this short moment, it's irrelevant.

Because Elder Da Kun can't withstand a single strike, no matter how brief, he will die.
