Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1141 - 365: Circulation Array Formation, The Drought Demon Ba’s Ferocity

"Decades have passed, and this woman truly has become more extreme…"

Upon hearing such extreme words from the Immortal Queen, Tianxuan couldn't help but secretly mutter in his heart.

Back then, Tianxuan seized the weakness in the Immortal Queen's temperament, and combined the power of three people to achieve the feat of a fourth-rank defeating a third-grade opponent. Now, after all these years, rather than changing, the Immortal Queen's temperament has become more extreme.

This, however, made it difficult for Tianxuan to make a move.

On the other side, against her arch-enemy, the Immortal Queen wouldn't hold back. After coldly exposing Tianxuan's intentions, she grasped the air with her five fingers. Her pale fingers seemed delicate, yet exuded dominance, compressing and collapsing space under her palm, transforming it into a cold blade light.

Heavenly Severity!

Once again, this renowned Qi Soldier appeared, even more powerful than before. Using space as the body, it bore ruthless Qi; the blade light slashed the heavens and split the earth, as if dividing Heaven and Earth under its might.

"Assist me."

Tianxuan immediately called aloud, his sleeves turning the starry sky, prompting the Star Domain to move. Innate Qi surged, evolving various Array Plates.

Jiang Li, having gained the Jiang family's "Gui Cang Yi," naturally didn't forget his own people. He unreservedly shared the insights of "Gui Cang Yi" with Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, enabling Tianxuan to obtain the true inheritance of Jiang's Divine Skill, advancing not only in the Yi Dao, but also acquiring methods to utilize Innate Qi.

"Gui Cang Yi" is not merely a study of Yi Dao; when combined with "Qi Tomb," it can evolve various miraculous techniques. For instance, the previous "Long Killing through Nature" was a miraculous technique recorded in "Gui Cang Yi."

Heaven, Earth, Humanity, and Divinity—four plates overlapped and evolved. The Heavenly Plate carried the Cycle Stars, and the Star Domain's Star Essence poured down.

The Earth Plate evolved the Eight Trigrams, harmonizing with Innate Eight Qi, resonating with the Heavenly Stars.

The Human Plate corresponded to the Eight Gates throughout the body; the vast Essence Element of the Celestial Stars Body infused therein, evolving eight celestial gateways.

The Divine Plate corresponded to the Five Elements, participated in the Nine Palaces, and integrated the three plates.

Simultaneously, the Princess infused her Essence Element into the Array Plate to aid in the evolution.

The Vermilion Bird formed a manifestation in heaven and a shape on earth, entering destiny as fire, categorized as divinity, representing the Vermilion Bird Seven Constellations, perfectly complementing Tianxuan's skill.

In an instant, the four plates intersected, supporting the Star Domain, circulating and transforming, evolving a thousand and eighty formations, all recorded in the "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter," and integrating with Jiang's Yi.

The array formations intertwined like a net, ensnaring "Heavenly Severity" within. The thousand and eighty formations absorbed and eroded the blade light like a whirlpool, sealing the heaven-splitting Qi Soldier into a tiny light point.

Together, they managed to withstand the Immortal Queen's offensive.

Simultaneously, the Star Domain continued to press against the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, attempting to widen the cracks, while a majestic and imposing aura swept rapidly from behind.

The Primordial Lord Rain Master also arrived.

Perhaps there was destiny in the unseen that the two sides from the past would once again contest supremacy.

Unfortunately, in the next moment, the scorching Flame Qi blocked the Yinglong Dragon.

'Drought Demon!''

As soon as this thought flashed through Tianxuan's mind, the Immortal Queen attacked again.

The cloud sea surged, shifting space; the Kunxu Immortal Palace Technique was equally unmatched in spatial manipulation, truly an exceptional skill of the world. Vast portions of space were drawn by the cloud sea, and then icy coldness exploded, freezing all things.

The Immortal Queen's Dao Fruit is the Winter God Xuanming; she had cultivated on Kunxu Mountain for many years, leveraging heavenly phenomena and earthly advantages, thoroughly uniting her Dao Fruit and cultivation technique, freezing half the Magic Realm with just a thought.

Tianxuan and the Princess quickly responded, immediately evolving the Vermilion Bird Seven Constellations, countering the Winter God's chill with the Vermilion Bird's Southern Ming Li Fire.

The ice and fire were incompatible, and the two massive forces clashed fiercely, star dust was frozen and then melted, space was congealed and then scorched through.

"Boom!"

Amidst a deafening roar, a massive gap was torn into the Star Domain, while the Immortal Queen had already sliced the blade light into the layered formations.

The Primordial Lord Rain Master at the rear wanted to rush to aid, but was hindered by a formidable opponent.

The ground turned to scorched earth, and the towering Flame Qi blocked the path. The azure flame light distorted vision and perception, only revealing a blurred silhouette flitting within the flame light.

Drought God Palm - Fire Burning Sky.

Dinghu Sect… or rather, the Ji Family's most dominant and fierce Fire Attribute techniques unleashed, with Flame Qi wreaking havoc, transforming the earth into scorched soil.

Drought Demon… or perhaps known as the East Sun Princess, she is the sister of the Great Zhou's Ancestor, already a third-grade Dao Fruit Perfection powerhouse eight hundred years ago, deep within the Magma Pool for the subsequent eight hundred years, absorbing Earth Fire. Her power is overwhelmingly strong, crushing ordinary third grades.

Had it not been for the Drought Demon straying off the path and becoming insane for eight hundred years, she might have reached the supreme level over time.

Jiang Li was able to subdue the Drought Demon and seal her because she had completely lost her mind, acting on instinct alone. Now, the Drought Demon seems to have regained her sanity, her strength completely surpassing the Primordial Lord Rain Master; upon her appearance, she vaporized the wind and rain accompanying the Yinglong Dragon.

As Flame Qi turned into fiery clouds surging forth, the Yinglong Dragon, facing the Drought Demon, was thoroughly overpowered.

"The earth's might is like Kun, the noble man bears all things with thick virtue."

At the critical moment, a voice of grandeur arrived first, and ancient texts streaked across the air, forming a sequence of Yi Dao words; the force of Kun Earth bearing all things became like a celestial barrier, blocking the Flame Qi.

However—

"Boom!"

Flame light shatters the force of Kun Earth, turning the heavenly anomaly into magma.

Yinglong roars and strikes, claws holding wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, transforming into four sword lights piercing the sky, slicing through the magma with the edge of the sword, yet still hit by the impact of flame qi.

The Master of Rain immediately folds his double wings, blocking the flame qi while loudly proclaiming, "The Drought Demon can draw earth qi to transform into fierce fire, and even refine external power into fire force, similar to the Jiang family's 'Qi Tomb.' Earth-type qi can only become fuel, allowing the Drought Demon fire to continually rise."

The Drought Demon Dao Fruit is a divine monster-type Dao Fruit, and although monster-type Dao Fruits may not match the strength of other Dao Fruits, and the number of high-grade Dao Fruits is far less than other Dao Fruits, their divine skills are unquestionably unmatched.

Monster-type Dao Fruits all possess abilities contrary to common sense, like the divine skill of the Drought Demon.

Ordinary sayings about fire generating earth are ineffective with the Drought Demon, as she can nourish fire with earth, reverse the cycle of fire and earth. When she stands on the ground, her power seems virtually inexhaustible.

It was precisely for this reason that, during the battle eight hundred years ago when the Military God advanced to Second Grade·General, the Drought Demon was able to serve as a main force.

In a move that broke two techniques, even forcing Yinglong to retreat, the figure shrouded in green fire launched an aerial attack, only to be intercepted by a silver light.

"A matter of a thousand catties."

The icy sword light, thin as a hair, almost invisible, shown only by the flame light reflecting brilliance, revealing its presence.

The light sliced horizontally into the flame qi, the blazing flame qi burning furiously, yet it failed to melt the sword light that was clearly condensed from the killing qi of Geng Metal.

In the flash of a moment, that sword light cut through the green flame, slashed through the body of the Drought Demon, causing magma-like blood to scatter in the air.

In the distance, the Chief of Sword Discussion Sea, Shang Jianling, raised his arm to the side, the index finger and middle finger forming a sword finger.

Undoubtedly, that sword light was unleashed by Shang Jianling.

Among the Four Swordsmanship Extremes, Taibai True Monarch is renowned for fierceness, Daoist Guang Cheng for sword speed, Manjusri's Wisdom Sword possesses innate spiritual changeability, akin to a thousand men, able to transform into a sword array at any time, while the Chief of Sword Discussion Sea is famed for refinement.

Shang Jianling has a unique secret technique, known as the method of refining swords into silk, called "A matter of a thousand catties." Its function, as the name suggests, is to refine the power of a thousand catties into a sword light as thin as a hair.

And three thousand hair-like sword silks can further be refined into one thread.

Repeatedly so, it's said that the ideal state is to refine the entire body's power into a single sword silk.

As the Chief of Sword Discussion Sea, Shang Jianling has viewed countless sword styles, able to unleash sword styles with sword silk, considered invincible, yet ultimately falling short of Wan Guchou's edge, narrowly losing to Taibai True Monarch.

Precisely because of this extreme refinement, even though Shang Jianling cultivates Gold Element Techniques compatible with the White Tiger Dao Fruit, he is not restrained by the Drought Demon fire.

Fire conquers gold, but there's also a saying of true gold not fearing fire's temper.

The Primordial Lord Rain Master, Imperial College Sacrificial Officer, and Shang Jianling, these three took action, eventually halting the Drought Demon, even causing her injury.

The figure within the green flame emitted a low growl, all who heard it involuntarily felt a sense of heat, the heart fire being aroused. The Drought Demon folded in the air, about to land on the earth.

When cut into the ground, the Drought Demon reaches her strongest.

"Don't even think about it!"

The Primordial Lord Rain Master naturally wouldn't let her succeed, Yinglong extended its claws, like five heavenly swords, to strike down from the air.

The Drought Demon in mid-air firmly raised her palms to meet, the viscous flame like magma clashing with dragon claws, palm force erupting, the fierce flame qi directly colliding with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, about to forcefully repel the Master of Rain.

Yet simultaneously, the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer again raised his voice, saying, "Heavenly movement is vigorous, a gentleman strives for self-improvement relentlessly." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The mighty qi mechanism augmented Yinglong, enduring the Drought God Palm.

Shang Jianling seized the opportunity to issue another sword finger, but unexpectedly, a golden light broke through the air, forming a large palm pushing toward Shang Jianling.

Behind the golden light, Lingxuzi held a red gourd, ready to perform a ritual.

Yet before the red gourd could be opened, celestial sword light had already descended, piercing through the golden light, straight for Lingxuzi.

"Clang!"

After the golden light appeared pure light, the Dao robe on Lingxuzi's body flowed with brilliance, outlining intricate patterns, resisting the fastest sword light, sparing Lingxuzi from mortal danger. But the sword light was unstoppable and relentless, one followed by another, extremely fast, forcing Lingxuzi to switch from attack to defense, unable to use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber.

If he dared to use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber, he'd risk being instantly shredded by ten thousand swords.

Clearly, the opponent had long taken the threat of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber into account, preparing a response.

This, in turn, forced Daoist Guang Cheng and Lingxuzi into a stalemate, making it difficult for the Slaying Immortal Sword to showcase its sharpness, as Daoist Guang Cheng needed to use the Yin Yang Two Extremes Sword to thwart the use of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber.

Although Jiang Li's side had the advantage in terms of third-grade combat power and even overall strength, each move was precisely countered.

The opponent efficiently blocked every step, their methods not overtly brilliant, yet perfectly suited.
