Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1126 - 350: Retreat, and the Immortal Queen Suspected of Extreme Taiji

At the critical moment, the savior turned out to be Shen Hou, which was somewhat disappointing.

However, if you count the two who came along with Shen Hou, the outcome is different.

Shen Hou alone didn't have the power to break the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law; only those of the same level, third grade or above, and those proficient in the corresponding magic doors could easily break through the segmented space.

The fierce blade light pierced into the Star Domain, where it passed, starlight was severed, the harsh aura filled the air, prompting Tianxuan to respond immediately.

"Crime Prison Seal, Punishment Rod."

The starlight gathered into a cage, linking with celestial bodies to form chains, weaving a net that tightly restrained the blade light. Endless Star Essence collided with the fierce sharpness on the blade light, bursting into twisted flashes of lightning.

"Immortal Queen."

A voice of affirmation came from Tianxuan within the Star Domain.

Fierce and terrifying, yet without any evil spirits, as if embodying the principles of heaven and earth, upright and just, such a Qi Soldier could only belong to the Kunxu Immortal Palace's "Heavenly Severity."

"It is indeed me."

Beyond the crack, clouds swirled with fragrance pervading everywhere, a dignified and elegant figure carrying a plain white long banner stepped in, her stunning face carrying a divine coolness.

At the same time, Flame Light rose from the ground, rapidly turning the earth into scorched land, the familiar aura made the Primordial Lord Rain Master utter a dragon roar, swiftly gathering wind and rain, hurling torrents of water underground.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion was heard, followed by waves of water surging underground, neutralizing with the Flame Qi. However, because of this, the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law struggled to form fully.

The overwhelming wind and rain dispersed, the mist no longer obscured the six senses, the segmentation of space was disappearing, and the battlefield was reuniting.

"Drought." The Yinglong Dragon spoke heavily.

In ancient times, it was the Drought Demon Ba who broke the Forbidden Technique cast by the Marquis of Wind and Rain Master, and now the bearer of the Drought Demon Dao Fruit acted, the Primordial Lord Rain Master could not stop her from breaking the spell.

Thus, although the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law was not completely broken, it could no longer dominate the battlefield.

With the Immortal Queen and the Drought present, not only was the predicament resolved, but the situation also reversed.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hou had such ability to bring these two powerful allies.

As soon as the Immortal Queen appeared, her gaze locked onto the Star Domain, her whole being surrounded by West Splendor Miao Qi, tens of thousands of blade lights flashed instantaneously.

"Slash."

No more words were needed, the fierce and ruthless "Heavenly Severity" turned into a storm, countless blade lights twisted into the Star Domain.

The Star Domain retaliated with the same ferocious killing intent, the Seven Killings Star and Lianzhen Star gathered, blood light filled the starry sky, clashing with the blade light.

"Seven Killings and Lianzhen, bury corpses on the road."

The Star Domain's ingenuity was endless, having laid a concealed trap the moment the Immortal Queen appeared, and as the "Heavenly Severity" twisted in, it was immediately intercepted, seemingly—

"Clang!"

Countless blade lights merged into one, condensed with earth-shattering energy and sharpness, the brilliance of the cycle stars was overshadowed at this moment.

"Sss-"

With a tearing sound like splitting silk, the domain was abruptly torn open, the ruthless trajectory slashing star after star, forcibly opening a passage, revealing a bright moon unguarded within the domain.

This was exactly where Tianxuan was located.

'How did the Immortal Queen's power advance so swiftly…'

This incredulous thought flashed through Tianxuan's mind, her delicate hand manipulating the stars, the bright moon blossoming with a pristine light, like a jade plate.

"Taiyin Ju Zi, Water Clearing Gui E."

The jade plate condensed moonlight, transforming into a clear stream, a towering jade tree suddenly rose, blocking the Heavenly Blade.

The two clashed, and instantly the jade tree shattered, unable to withstand even a slash. However, after repeated grinding, the blade light's sharpness significantly reduced, and as it neared Tianxuan, a red shadow flashed past, biting the blade light and swallowing it.

The red shadow circled in the air and landed beside Tianxuan, revealing a large red dog, its fur like flames, exuding an ominous aura, guarding Tianxuan closely.

"Huo'er?!"

Upon seeing this large dog, the Immortal Queen's cool face showed a chilling killing intent, clearly infuriated, "How dare you turn against me!"

This dog was personally ordered by the Immortal Queen to be raised by her disciples, with the purpose of dealing with Tianxuan.

Without the Immortal Queen, this dog wouldn't be what it is today.

Yet now, this dog was serving as Tianxuan's guard.

"Woof!"

Xiao Tian barked softly, seemingly a bit embarrassed, but still responded in a somewhat immature voice: "Great Palace Master, the most important thing for a dog is loyalty. Although you raised me, I am now a dog of the Jiang Family. Also, my name is Xiao Tian now, it's best not to call it wrong, or my master might misunderstand."

Not even the time when Tianxuan and Jiang Li, that master-disciple duo, deceived the Immortal Queen to take away the East Splendor Ancient Tree, did the Immortal Queen grow this furious, the swirling air almost instantly shrouding the sky.

Simultaneously, Lingxuzi also took out the Red Gourd, ready to launch a counterattack.

On Jiang Li's side, the fierce sword aura emerged, as if the heavily injured Daoist Guang Cheng was about to make another move.

Earlier, when the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law covered the Han River, Daoist Guang Cheng and Taibai True Monarch seized the opportunity to retreat from the battlefield to heal temporarily. At this moment of crisis, Daoist Guang Cheng could not care about anything else.

However, Tan Wuwei ordered at this moment, "Retreat."

"This—" Lingxuzi suddenly halted his rising form, looking at Tan Wuwei in shock.

"This is also the will of the Heavenly Monarch."

Almost as soon as Tan Wuwei finished his words, a divine thought arrived here, issuing the command.

Retreat!

This was indeed the will of the Heavenly Monarch.

Although extremely unwilling, Lingxuzi could only comply. After saying "retreat," Tan Wuwei had already moved some of the soldiers with the True Void Home.

At the same time, the soldiers who had just escaped the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law were also retreating rapidly.

The Immortal Queen, who was about to make a move, had to stop her surging qi mechanism, cast a cold glance at Tianxuan, then focused her gaze on Xiao Tian for two breaths, gently waved the Plain Cloud Realm Flag, and retreated into the clouds.

The intense battle, which had just intensified, suddenly stopped; the Heavenly Monarch's side was retreating rapidly. On the court's side, having just reversed their disadvantage, they did not pursue, not only due to the reversal of power but also because Jiang Li's divine thought had arrived.

Under the actions of the cultivators, the enemy retreated quickly, and soon they were almost out of sight, leaving behind tens of thousands of bodies and remains.

The melted river water was frozen again, allowing the troops to withdraw. Beneath the ice, weapons emerged from the surface. On the islands in the river, mountains had been cut in half, and all around the islands lay bodies, with blood forming streams that flowed onto the frozen river, only to be frozen again.

If thawed, this river water might turn into a river of blood.

Tianxuan descended from the air, loudly ordering, "Clean up the battlefield, then rest for three days before advancing again."

With this, Jingzhou was entirely taken.

And strategically speaking, the goal of harming the enemy's middle and lower-level combat power was achieved. Third-grade opponents are not easy to kill; achieving results requires the right timing.

"The Heavenly Monarch indeed has many trump cards,"

The Princess came to Tianxuan, her gaze like lightning, as she looked at the already fading enemy troop, seemingly searching for a certain figure. "And that Immortal Queen, how did her strength suddenly skyrocket?"

Although Tianxuan only exchanged a couple of moves with the Immortal Queen, the difference in strength was already quite apparent. Tianxuan, who should have been able to match the Immortal Queen, this time directly fell into a disadvantage.

And this was even without the Immortal Queen using the Plain Cloud Realm Flag.

To this, Tianxuan did not immediately reply, only closing his eyes slightly and pondering for a while before saying, "Her West Splendor Miao Qi has improved by more than just a level compared to before. This situation... this crazy woman."

Tianxuan thought of a certain possibility, and couldn't help but change his expression slightly. "The Immortal Queen may have awakened the true spirit within the West Queen Mother Dao Fruit."

At the level of third-grade, unless you are like Jiang Li and have extraordinary means, it's not easy to improve. Especially since the Immortal Queen has already achieved Dao Fruit Perfection, facing a bottleneck on the Dao Fruit path, making further progress is exceedingly difficult.

But truly speaking of ways to progress, the Immortal Queen does have them.

The Daoist inheritance of Kunxu Immortal Palace originates from the West Queen Mother lineage before the end of Dharma. If she could get guidance from the West Queen Mother, the Immortal Queen could indeed make further progress.

However, doing so would also make advancing to the second grade extremely difficult.

If the true spirit of the West Queen Mother awakens, unless you have the ability to suppress second-grade true spirits like Karma Tathagata, the path of advancing through the West Queen Mother Dao Fruit would be essentially closed.

The Immortal Queen's actions almost burn all her past efforts to ashes. However, it's undeniable that this move rapidly enhanced the Immortal Queen's strength, with a clear trend toward becoming the top female cultivator in the world.

Upon hearing Tianxuan's words, the Princess also frowned, "It might really be so. That woman's nature is somewhat similar to that of Taibai True Monarch."

In simple terms, the Immortal Queen is also very extreme.

Even with the experience of Tianxuan and the Princess, they couldn't help but have this thought.

Today was an eye-opener, encountering two extreme individuals in succession.

"In the end, this woman cannot be underestimated."

Tianxuan couldn't help but sigh softly, then communicated with Jiang Li's divine thought, informing him of his speculations and the battle situation.

······

······

Elsewhere, amidst the shattered mountains and rivers, the Heavenly Monarch's presence was nowhere to be seen.

Upon confirming the situation's reversal, the Heavenly Monarch decisively withdrew. With the assistance of the Heavenly Mirror, even Jiang Li and the Daoist Lord found it hard to stop him.

At this moment, Jiang Li, using his divine thought, was inspecting the situation over at the Han River. Upon receiving the message from Tianxuan, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.

"Do all those who cultivate the Gold Element technique have such extremes?"

Extreme individuals walk extreme paths; for Taibai True Monarch to break his mental barrier, he severed his lifebound sword, while the Immortal Queen awakened the true spirit of the West Queen Mother. It made one wonder if there were cultivation technique reasons behind this.

The key is that both of them forcibly walked through that path.

Regardless of what the future holds, as of now, Taibai True Monarch has overcome his mental barrier, and the Immortal Queen has gained the strength to suppress Tianxuan.
