Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1121 - 345: Thousand Catties at a Hair’s Breadth

A sound that is difficult to describe with words, mysterious upon mysterious, seemingly both present and absent, echoes between heaven and earth, much like the heavens themselves are making a sound, carrying a suppressive power from on high.

Buddhism has its Buddhist chanting, Daoism has its Taoist sound, both are articulations of one's essence, an intuitive expression of ideology, which can also be used for suppression, assimilation of Divine Thoughts, and so forth.

At this moment, the Heavenly Monarch commands the Heavenly Realm to echo with the Taoist sound, using intuitive power to forcibly suppress, and almost instantly as the sound rings, the Yin Yang Qi surrounding the Daoist Lord stirs spontaneously.

Water has no fixed form and takes shape according to its vessel.

Though heavily wounded, the Daoist Lord's Daoist proficiency remained undiminished, responding spontaneously to the Yin Yang Qi, and although it lacked the profoundness of the Yellow Emperor's Four Faces, it still allowed the Daoist Lord to effortlessly counter all maneuvers.

Yin and Yang transform into the Dao, and Primordial Qi surges forth, countering the Taoist sound, shaking several miles around, splitting the Yellow Cloud, yet leaving the Heavenly Realm intact.

The Heavenly Monarch flicked his fingers, ripples emanated from all directions, countless branches and roots, like sharp swords, thrust out from the ripples, exuding both vigorous vitality and cold killing intent, transforming into a booming thunderclap.

"Boom!"

In that moment, space, Primordial Qi, and spirit were all shaken by the thunderclap, as the thunderstorm raged, crashing onto the Yin Yang Primordial Qi, the roots and branches striking like swords.

The Yin Yang Qi flowed like water, whether it was the thunderstorm or the tree swords, all were completely warded off, as if watertight.

The Daoist Lord's Daoist prowess is simply unparalleled in this era, his skill of having Yin Yang Qi adapt according to its vessel seemed simple, yet was a realm others could not reach. Even Jiang Li could only achieve a similar performance by relying on "Emperor Emerges from Zhen," allowing the Taiji Heavenly Wheel to automatically counter various offensives.

However, no matter how high the cultivation, it cannot make up for a lack of strength.

If it were anyone else, perhaps they would easily be held back by the Daoist Lord, even if that person was of the third grade, but if faced with a Supreme...

The thunderstorm united life and death, with extreme hardness, breaking through the Yin Yang Qi by force, branches like swords, absorbing the earth's heft, aligning with the sky's purity.

These branches all came from the Second Grade Daoist Artifact, the ginseng fruit tree, capable of absorbing the earth's Qi and also aligning with the Heavenly Realm here, with the Heavenly Monarch's unstoppable killing intent.

This was truly the union of heaven, earth, and man, with heavenly killing mechanisms moving stars and constellations; earth's killing mechanisms raising the Dragon and Snake; man's killing mechanisms reversing heaven and earth; and the union of Heaven and Man, forming the foundation of all transformations.

The Heavenly Monarch's creation from the Yellow Emperor's "Yin Talisman Scripture," the Three Talents Killing Sword reappeared in the mortal world, causing heaven and earth to move in an instant, stabilizing myriad transformations with the killing intent of the Three Talents.

The Yin Yang Qi was instantly swept away, the extreme killing intent made the Green Bull's face turn ashen in fear.

At the critical moment, a flash of white appeared, forming an arc in front of the Daoist Lord, blocking the Three Talents Killing Sword's earth-shattering force that carried anomalies of star constellations and earth changes, yet lost momentum before that arc.

The overwhelming killing momentum gathered into the arc within a fraction of a second, vanishing like a clay ox into the sea, turning into extreme tranquility.

Movement and stillness, in that moment, achieved balance at a single point, and that arc revealed its true form, which was a pale white bangle.

—Vajra Mala.

Also a Second Grade Daoist Artifact, the Vajra Mala likewise possessed extraordinary power, capable of absorbing and transforming all things, blocking the Three Talents Killing Sword in an instant.

Yet because of this, the Qi Mechanism around the Daoist Lord undulated, his face turning pale.

"Daoist Lord, you won't last much longer."

With a step forward, the Heavenly Monarch directly spanned the final distance, reaching out a palm containing scenery of earth and rivers, seemingly normal in size yet capable of encompassing heaven and earth.

The extreme contradiction of big and small appeared in one place, as space changed with the palm's outreaching, also forming a giant hand, clutching the entirety of this Heavenly Realm.

In terms of space transformation, the Heavenly Monarch's ability could be said to have reached the pinnacle, even the Great Venerable might not match.

Although the Great Venerable's Book of Luo River Map records cosmic mysteries and elucidates the wonders of time and space, his own advantage was inclined towards Divine Power, with his expertise in the Cosmic Light Path far surpassing the Path of Yukong.

"Returning Wind and Returning Fire."

The Daoist Lord could no longer sit passively on the bull's back, waving his sleeves, as two flags appeared synchronously behind him, the Earth Leaving Flame Banner, and the True Martial Black Eagle Flag.

The two flags combined Yin Yang Transformation, augmenting the Daoist Lord's Miracle Techniques, "Returning Wind and Returning Fire" causing space to reverse, the invisible great strength seemingly reversing time itself.

"Boom!"

The two confronted each other directly in the most straightforward way, causing space to shake violently, the entire Heavenly Realm quaking.

"Bang!"

The Heavenly Realm seemed on the verge of splitting, the collision causing the Green Bull and Daoist Lord to be pushed back evenly.

The Daoist Lord's face turned pale as paper, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. The Green Bull, terrified with its hair standing on end, stamped its hooves, using "Submerged Abyss Shrinkage" to move.

But where could it escape, as this was the domain of the Heavenly Monarch?

Space contracted fiercely, a vertically oriented eye shaped like a boat appeared above, surrounded by a faint massive shadow.

The vertical eye settled in the middle of the brows, the giant hand moving, space shifted, the mountain-like shadow about to fall upon the Green Bull and the Daoist Lord.

With the Divine Power of "Daoism Rules the World," alongside the Vajra Mala, Earth Leaving Flame Banner, True Martial Black Eagle Flag, and even the Miracle Technique of "One Qi to Three Pure Ones," the life's memories of the Daoist Lord were at this moment astonishingly close to the Heavenly Monarch.

The Dao Fruit of Emperor Zhuanxu could only capture Divine Powers, but the Heavenly Monarch's crafty and forceful tactics weren't limited to the Zhuanxu Taoist Fruit Divine Power.

Heaven's way is to take away surpluses and fill deficits; human's way is to take away deficits and serve surpluses. The Heavenly Monarch intended to seize from the heavens with human action, targeting the Heavenly Dao while enacting the human way of taking away deficiencies to fulfill abundances, capturing all things to complete oneself, with plenty of means to seize the use of the Daoist Lord.

The gigantic hand grabbed with full force, sealing all directions, suppressing heavily like the Sky Collapse, leaving the Green Bull nowhere to flee, forcing the Daoist Lord to face the strike directly.

At the critical moment, a grand Primordial Qi suddenly pierced into the Heavenly Realm, touching the body of the Daoist Lord.

The Daoist Lord raised both hands, Taiji of Yin Yang manifested with his palms, flipping Heaven and Earth, confronting the giant hand of heaven.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering explosion swept through the space of the Heavenly Realm, the Yellow Cloud Divine Light wholly swept away, the upper and lower spaces were a scene of tranquility, even the distortions in space forcibly straightened.

The only exception, perhaps, was a void not far behind the Daoist Lord.

"That was close, almost let you succeed."

"If you had obtained the Daoist Artifact and the Divine Powers, memories of the Daoist Lord, then this world, I fear no one would be able to stop you."

A gentle voice emerged from the void, and a figure stepped out from within.

The Daoist Lord's background was simply too rich, although "Daoism Rules the World" was indeed his most famous ability, it was only part of his foundation.

If the Heavenly Monarch were truly able to succeed in his aims, someone's pressure would be enormous.

Jiang Li wanted the Heavenly Monarch to keep pressing, but certainly not to bring about a calamity by breeding a great tyrant.
