Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1149 - 371: Blood Sacrifice of 10,000; Yellow Heaven True Body – Three Treasures of Wish-Fulfilling, Qi Transforms Three Emperors

The sky dome of Heaven was torn, the sea of clouds separating it from the mortal world pierced through.

The thousand-kilometer-long celestial scar continued to extend, unleashing a destructive power that, centered on Jiang Li and the Heavenly Monarch, obliterated light, Primordial Qi, matter, and even space. It resulted in witnessing only an expanding chaos, like a black hole devouring all things.

"Boom!"

A colossal shadow retreated from within that chaos, and as his feet touched the ground, the sea of clouds collapsed, space shuddered, and the immense power transmitted through his feet pierced the barrier between Heaven and the mortal world, sending shockwaves into the human realm.

This silhouette was impressively the Heavenly Monarch!

Within his body, divided into the Three Realms, the Heavenly Monarch staggered back several steps, each step shaking the sea of clouds. His right arm, like an elongated mountain range, collapsed and disintegrated; when the remnants fell to the ground, they emitted a thunderous roar.

Even the Cave Heaven within his body began to destabilize.

On the other side, within the chaos, the longsword in Jiang Li's hand also showed cracks, Divine Evil seeping from the gaps like green smoke, and cracks appeared on the right arm holding the sword, revealing the underlying white primordial material.

However, this did not hinder Jiang Li's power. With the Green Emperor Longevity in place, he would perpetually remain at the pinnacle of his power, even...

The alarming fissures began to swiftly mend; even the Chi You's Flag in his hand was recovering.

In the space of a breath, Jiang Li was entirely restored.

"Sss--"

The sword tip re-emerged, forcibly cleaving the chaos; Jiang Li's figure swept out from within it, while an unparalleled surge of Qi waves burst outwards as the chaos was shattered, shaking the space and even transmitting its grandeur to another realm.

"Boom!"

The sky of the mortal world resounded with an earth-shaking roar, like heavenly thunder exploding across the sky. The wavelike vibrations shook the sky, and indistinctly, two magnificent silhouettes could be seen projected upon the sky.

As the Heavenly Monarch sustained injuries, he could no longer maintain Sealing Heaven; even the barrier between Heaven and the mortal world was breached, causing the Qi mechanism and shadows of the two to leak through the breach.

Two silhouettes, like lightning, shifted across the sky dome, clashing; each collision shook the sky dome, divine intent leaking, causing the sky's clouds and winds to gather, snow and ice to descend, and even blood-red Evil Qi to transform into flames, merging with the snow and clouds, clashing and countering each other.

At the same time, Shen Hou, who was blocking Taibai True Monarch and the Mo Sect Master alongside Tan Wuwei, suddenly showed a massive decline in aura, as even the triple Array Plate manifested in the worlds of Heaven, Earth, and Man dimmed.

Seeing this, Mo Xuankong and Taibai True Monarch knew that the true body of the Heavenly Monarch was failing, and immediately sought to seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Tan Wuwei, perceiving their intentions a moment earlier, was about to warn them, only to witness a scene before his eyes that caused his pupils to tremble dramatically.

In the next instant, Shen Hou held the Wooden Whip horizontally in front, while a fingertip on his other hand emitted blood light, drawing a talisman with blood, imprinting it onto the God-beating Whip.

"Heaven is dead, Yellow Heaven shall rise."

The God-beating Whip suddenly erupted with a divine light tinged with blood color, sweeping across the sky, making the two Divine Path cultivators retreat cautiously.

Silhouettes surrounding the mountain merged into it after being swept by the blood-colored divine light, divine energy fusing with divine light, while the local officials kneeling below the mountain simultaneously froze in place like stone statues, and the fervor in the expressions of the masses kneeling outside the mountain plains halted abruptly.

The sky dome was still teeming with anomalies, ceaseless thunder; however, the land below fell into an indescribable stillness. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Circle after circle of bodies on their knees around the mountain, even those who never ceased their prostrations during the prior battle, were now locked in deathly silence. The residual waves had caused countless injuries and deaths, yet could not stop them from perpetually repeating their kneeling motions, now as inanimate as lifeless objects.

The fervor in their eyes faded away, and with it, their vitality disappeared.

In the land of Yangzhou, millions surrounded the mountain; people on the hills, in towns, and on streets, kneeling in overwhelming numbers, circle after circle, forming a human mountain and sea, yet at this moment, all life was extinguished.

The stark contrast of that instant highlighted an unbearable stillness that even the roaring thunder couldn't mask; the mountains and vast lands seemed to have died collectively at this moment.

Circles upon circles of corpses knelt over the mountains and rivers.

Even beyond Yangzhou, in the other two states, countless more perished.

Endless streams of Incense Fire Thought Power, like a starry rain, converged into the sky, merging into the highest of the Array Plates, a majestic aura surged into Heaven.

"That actually..."

Even Tan Wuwei, assisting the Heavenly Monarch in transforming the Three States' populace, was horrified by this scene. The detached Taibai True Monarch was also changed in color by the Heavenly Monarch's ruthlessness, while Mo Xuankong appeared irreconcilably furious.

"Beast!"

Mo Xuankong shouted in wrath, merging with his sword, transforming into a black thunderbolt that crashed down, only to be blocked by Shen Hou's whip.

He held the God-beating Whip, like an insurmountable barrier, sweeping the whip shadow to shatter the thunderbolt Sword Light.

The Heavenly Monarch's prowess in the Fire Path far surpassed Manjusri, having gained an immense amount of Incense Fire Thought Power and Divine Soul Vitality, elevating the previously declining Heavenly Monarch's power to a new tier.

Even the transformation is like this, let alone the true form.

Although the time for all this is not short, after being reduced by three hundred and sixty-five times, it is a matter of a moment.

In Heaven, the Heavenly Monarch suddenly stopped his decline, the collapsing arm instantly regenerated, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land within him stabilized, and even in the Nine Great Qi Seas on his body, a large cauldron imbued with the weight of the Human Path appeared synchronously.

Although only three large cauldrons fully manifested, the other six cauldrons also showed shape, under the infusion of massive Incense Fire Thought Power and Divine Soul Vitality.

With the Heavenly Mirror supporting Heaven, the ginseng fruit tree setting the earth, the nine cauldrons now reappear to establish the Human Path, achieving mastery of the Three Realms, the Yellow Heaven Dharma Manifestation integrated into the body.

"Yellow Heaven True Body."

The Yellow Heaven Dharma Manifestation achieved through the metamorphosis of the Heavenly Dharma was integrated into the body by the Heavenly Monarch, like the Buddha Country's Tathagata Undestructible True Body, transforming into the Yellow Heaven True Body, he clasped his hands together, his body emitted a resounding noise, reverberating across thousands of miles.

This is the Ji Family's "Kui Drum Thunder Sound", but with the Heavenly Monarch's current body and power, the thunder sound is so strong that it would shatter the Kui Drum if it were present.

The drumbeats echoed, breaking through the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces and the momentum of the killing intent. The Heavenly Monarch's both palms came forth, filling the heavens with handprints, shaking off the Emperor Sword, striking horizontal against Jiang Li's body.

'This power... Even if the sky collapsed, maybe it would just barely be enough...'

This thought flashed through Jiang Li's mind, sensing the intense threat, reaching upward, capturing the Three Flowers above, transforming them into a Jade Ruyi to withstand the sky-collapsing palm power.

This is the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Jiang Li's Dao Fruit is fundamentally related to the Daoist Sect, allowing him to draw upon the flow of the Human Path and assimilate the cultivation insights and wisdom left by numerous Daoist cultivators, advancing greatly in Daoist cultivation techniques.

This Three Treasures Jade Ruyi is one such accomplishment.

"Boom!"

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was lifted by the left hand, emitting a Pure Light, blocking in front, the sky-collapsing force struck against the Pure Light, the unstoppable palm power instantly breaking the Pure Light, crashing into Jiang Li's body.

The Taixu's Body was nearly collapsing, the perfect cycle was about to be broken, the entirely primordial material body almost being struck into Taiji, then dispersing into Ten Thousand Qi.

Yet, at the critical moment, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi unnaturally stabilized the body, consolidating primordial material, forcibly enduring this strike.

A faint crack appeared on Jiang Li's face, like a shattered porcelain, forcibly closing and restoring, the Heavenly Eye tracing Cause and Effect, witnessing the ocean of corpses kneeling upon the earth.

"Sacrificing millions in blood, are you not afraid of Dao Fruit's backlash?"

At this moment, Jiang Li realized he underestimated the Heavenly Monarch's ruthlessness and decisiveness.

Although Emperor Zhuanxu was renowned for severity, ultimately he was a Human King, also revered as the Black Emperor, the act of slaughtering conflicted with his Cause and Effect. The Jade Emperor rules the Three Realms, bearing the responsibilities of maintaining the cosmos. The Heavenly Monarch, using the blood sacrifice of myriad people and deities as a Promotion Ceremony, even if successfully promoted, would face immense backlash, potentially forcing the Dao Fruit to detach.

"As long as promotion is achieved, all else, I will find a way to compensate."

The Heavenly Monarch's eyes were indifferent, without fluctuation, revealing unwavering determination.

Isn't backlash only a concern? Given time, the Heavenly Monarch has countless methods and abilities to compensate. Unlike King Shu, who despite promotion, achieved nothing.

As he spoke, the sky-collapsing palm power urged again, Jiang Li, as if struck heavily, retreated, behind him space compressed into a thick barrier, gradually condensing into a rocky outline.

Layer after layer of clouds were blasted apart, clearing abruptly, a towering enormous gateway appeared behind Jiang Li.

Its height reached ten thousand zhang, the top difficult to see, only two pillar-like formations stood on each side.

Here, precisely is the South Heavenly Gate Jiang Li had seen before.

Jiang Li stopped retreating, stomped aggressively, soared from the ground, ascending to the top of the South Heavenly Gate, the long sword detached, transforming into bloody thunderclap, oscillating and roaming above, countless sword blades traversed and spun.

"Sword spanning nine fields, swift as Heavenly Stars."

Like billions of meteors falling to the earth, Sword Light traversed the sky, bearing extinction might, penetratingly pursuing the Yellow Heaven.

"Heavenly Dao's Sound."

The sound of drums emanated again, one following another, shattering Sword Light, the Heavenly Monarch's figure suddenly transformed, becoming comparable to the South Heavenly Gate, hand transforming into the Sky Dome, pressing down, the bloody thunderclap was subdued back into a large star falling, the heavens seemingly flipped at this moment, imposing pressure descending upon Jiang Li's body.

Startling cracks emerged upon Jiang Li again, evidently ready to crush him anew.

Yet this time, Jiang Li did not resist...

"One Qi to Three Emperors."

He utilized divine skills, slowly exhaling five words, meanwhile the sea waves' Five Vile Qi surged from behind the South Heavenly Gate.
