Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1150 - 372: Yellow Heaven Is Dead Too

Behind the South Heavenly Gate, the Five Vile Qi appeared exceptionally dense, its distinct traces even visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Li absorbed the surging Five Vile Qi into his body, transforming it into Primordial Qi, and then executed [Emperor Emerges from Zhen], forcibly performing One Qi to Three Emperors.

"Boom!"

Startling cracks burst open, and Jiang Li's body was instantly crushed, yet did not turn into flying ash, instead manifesting three distinct figures.

The first, human-headed and snake-bodied, bore a pair of spiral sharp horns resembling a twisted "Dao" character, with the Map of Mountains and Rivers unfurling behind, displaying the scenes of the Nine Provinces one by one atop it.

The second, with a bull head, four eyes, and four arms, hair like sword halberds, skin of ancient bronze, resembling a blazing sun, possessing both the vitality that illuminates all things and the intensity that annihilates them, wielding a red giant star transformed into a great banner in hand, embodying both creation and destruction.

The last, clad in the Twelve Chapter Emperor's Robe, holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, emanated an aura of majesty and supreme perfection.

With the hand of the Heavenly Monarch, Divine Skills were employed to let One Qi transform into Three Emperors.

Due to Jiang Li's reversal of the Innate state and his unique cultivation foundation, One Qi to Three Emperors did not split the Primordial Spirit like One Qi to Three Pure Ones, but rather brought forth complete bodies.

In Jiang Li's case, it could be said the Primordial Spirit and body held no difference, as his essence, qi, and spirit had already integrated into one.

Once the Three Emperors appeared, their power multiplied. This didn't simply split one into three, but transformed one into three, instantly raising the power limit by threefold, with the Five Vile Qi entirely transformed into Jiang Li's own strength, rising simultaneously with the [One-foot Hammer], restoring Jiang Li's strength to its peak in an instant.

Jiang Li immediately retaliated, wielding Divine Skills in conjunction with the Three Tombs, unleashing an incredibly terrifying Qi mechanism from the three emperor figures simultaneously.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang Li: "Lofty and towering, the image of a monarch."

Earth Emperor Jiang Li: "Heaven and Earth return to the Cang, distinguishing above and below."

Emperor Jiang Li: "Central path of the Great Yang, dividing day and night."

Different magic doors, yet illustrating the same Heavenly Dao principles, their Qi mechanisms unified, crushing down the Sound of the Heavenly Dao, the three emperors together unleashing handprints, countering the assault like a collapsing sky.

The "Mountain Tomb" used the intangible spirit and willpower to seize Heavenly Phenomenon, as vast and superior as the heavens and earth.

The "Qi Tomb" used Qi to divide heaven and earth, making above and below distinct.

The "Form Tomb" like the Great Sun in the sky, dividing day and night, making itself the Vast Sun of heaven.

The simultaneous release of the Three Tombs clearly indicated Jiang Li facing the gigantic palm descending from the sky, yet it felt more like the Three Emperors stood at a higher vantage point, gazing down upon the Heavenly Monarch from above the heavens.

Three palms simultaneously extended, with form yet no appearance, with no substance nor body as Primordial Qi transformed into a long river, cascaded from the heights, colliding with the Heavenly Monarch's palm, rendering even the greatest strength unstoppable, making him feel as though being knocked from the sky dome, falling straight from the heights.

Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the Three Elements were simultaneously struck down, even his half-human half-immortal Mental State was teetering precariously.

"Dong!"

Both feet thunderously shook the ground, retreating step by step, and after retreating three steps, he discovered his ten-thousand-zhang stature diminished to one-thousand zhang.

At this moment, the Three Emperors truly gazed down upon the Heavenly Monarch.

The disparity between above and below became even more evident, causing the Heavenly Monarch to sense severe peril.

"Sealing Heaven."

At the crucial moment, the Heavenly Monarch executed the most appropriate response. Since above and below were distinct, he further sealed them, severing Jiang Li's mysterious move, while his body transformed, igniting a vast amount of incense fire thought power and divine soul vitality, engulfing his whole body.

"The universe is in his hands, all things manifest from his body."

Changes of heaven and earth were all in his grasp, transformations of all things manifested in his form, as the Heavenly Monarch raised a hand against the sky, like a titanic giant supporting heaven and earth, intending to smash through the division of heaven and earth, bringing the lofty Three Emperors crashing down into the mortal world.

However—

"I, with the Map of Mountains and Rivers, stabilize heaven."

Heavenly Emperor Jiang Li cast Divine Skills again, casting down the Map of Mountains and Rivers from the sky dome, suppressing the Yellow Heaven, restraining the force that held up the skies.

"I, with the Chi You's Flag, rend the earth."

Earth Emperor Jiang Li sneered savagely, descending with a destructive opportunity, wielding a giant sword slashing towards the Heavenly Monarch's palm, All Heaven Divine Sha eradicating all things, directly targeting the ginseng fruit tree inside the Heavenly Monarch, aiming to destroy the Yinming Realm.

"I, with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, suppress humanity."

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi swept down from heaven, suppressing the [Tri-legged Nine Provinces] Divine Skills, fixing the Nine Cauldrons, restraining the power augmented by Divine Skills.

With the Three Treasures suppressing the Heavenly Monarch's Three Realms, the receding power plunged the Heavenly Monarch into greater peril, yet he did not consider withdrawal, but instead mustered all his strength to counter the suppressing force.

The Inner Heaven and Earth suddenly expanded, then collapsed inward, the destructive power erupted from his palm, causing space in heaven to tremble severely at that moment.

The Three Emperors simultaneously launched attacks, discarding the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Chi You's Flag, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, battling with sheer strength alone.

The three figures simultaneously shifted space, overlapping their locations, delivering downward palms from top to bottom.

The overlapping handprints contained triple power, as they descended, they stirred the sky dome, causing it to indeed collapse.

The extremities of force collided, suppressed the sky dome sinking, the indescribable weight causing the Heavenly Monarch's arm to collapse, crumbling as if it were the legendary Buzhou Mountain.

The cloud sea below spread countless cracks, like earth dragons traversing, spanning a thousand miles.

"Boom!"

In the earth-shattering sound, the giant god finally could no longer bear the weight, his arm collapsed, his body staggered and shook, step by step retreating.

The inner heaven and earth completely collapsed, each Cave Heaven was also contracting, along with the thousand-foot body shrinking.

Eventually, the Heavenly Monarch retreated until he could retreat no longer, his figure also shrank to the size of an ordinary person.

"Twelve breaths."

The shadow of the Three Emperors became blurred, merging again into one body, the mystic techniques forcefully applied had reached their limit, revealing the figure of Jiang Li.

He too had returned to the height of an ordinary person, descending slowly from mid-air, his face pale, but due to the divine skill of [Green Emperor Longevity], his combat power remained unaffected.

"Twelve breaths of time remaining."

Jiang Li said indifferently, approaching gracefully.

As for the Heavenly Monarch, he seemed unconcerned about the time, standing with hands behind his back, although defeated, his qi mechanism withered, his body about to collapse, he appeared unbothered.

"One Qi to Three Emperors, Three Tombs Unification, what is the name of this technique?" the Heavenly Monarch asked.

"Three Emperors Unification is Emperor's Ultimate, this technique is named the 'Emperor's Pole Worldly Book'."

Jiang Li looked at the Heavenly Monarch and said.

"'Emperor's Pole Worldly Book'... marvelous, what a 'Emperor's Pole Worldly Book'."

The Heavenly Monarch laughed heartily, "This time, I lost indeed, but unfortunately... time is up."

The twelve breaths of time were up.

At the same time, within the collapsing inner heaven and earth, a stream of light flew out, it was a towering tree. The Heavenly Monarch's body could no longer bear this Second Grade Daoist Artifact, the collapsing space squeezed out the ginseng fruit tree.

Then, another stream of light flew out, a damaged mirror floated in the air, faint incense aura still vaguely visible inside.

But—

The Jade Emperor Dao Fruit was not there!

The Jade Emperor Dao Fruit that should have been inside the Heavenly Mirror was nowhere to be seen.

"I won," the Heavenly Monarch laughed loudly.

The Jade Emperor Dao Fruit not inside the Heavenly Mirror could only be in the Heavenly Monarch's other body.

When Zhuanxu dies, the Fish Woman is born, failing to eliminate the Heavenly Monarch's backup body, even if he dies, he can resurrect.

And the acceptance of the Dao Fruit is founded on causality, not the physical body or Primordial Spirit, as long as this body dies, another Heavenly Monarch can accommodate the Dao Fruit's promotion, as long as the promotion ceremony is completed.

Now, the time is up!

An invisible yet vast intent appeared behind the South Heavenly Gate, a giant array plate appeared above the Palace of the Polestar, slowly descending.

The Heavenly Monarch was about to take the final step.

But at that instant, the Heavenly Monarch's smile suddenly froze.

An invisible repulsive force emanated from within the Palace of the Polestar, prevented the array plate from descending, another force forcibly stopped the Heavenly Monarch, not letting him drop the imprint.

"Heaven is just in Heaven, so even if you have the Heavenly Mirror in hand, you wouldn't dare set foot in Heaven, until this promotion, your realm and strength advanced another level, able to completely sever causality, you dared come to Heaven."

Jiang Li looked at the Heavenly Monarch, saying slowly: "Therefore, you didn't know before today, another already left an imprint in Heaven."

If the Heavenly Monarch were at his peak, he'd be able to contend with the existing imprint, perhaps even overpower the other.

At the end of the day, strength is decisive, if strong enough, the newcomer can also push the predecessor aside. But if the strength is insufficient, then even the predecessor must yield.

Unfortunately, the current Heavenly Monarch is a weakling, his strength insufficient.

Thus, even with time up, the Heavenly Monarch couldn't take the final step.

His promotion ceremony, failed!

Unprecedented fury swept through the Heavenly Monarch's mind, even with that mind-control, accommodating the Heavenly Heart's mental state, at this moment unable to suppress this anger.

"Fine! What a Jiang Li! What an Emperor Jiang!"

The Heavenly Monarch laughed angrily, "This time indeed I lost, lost thoroughly, convincingly, but, you cannot always win. Next time..."

Before the words were finished, the Cave Heaven inside the Heavenly Monarch had already completely collapsed, his body crumbling into fragments of light, slowly scattering.

"Next time, I won't lose..."

"There is no next time," Jiang Li said indifferently, "You've been tainted by Shen Hou's misfortune, I previously locked onto your causality because of it, finding you was not difficult."

The Karma Collection flipped slowly, taking in a line of causality.

Once this line of causality was collected by the Karma Collection, the outcome was already decided.

"Now, Yellow Heaven also died."
