Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1155 - 377: Tragedy Is Tearing Beautiful Things Apart for All to See

"Fetus Seal."

Tan Wuwei transformed his Seal Technique, and the Dragon Flower Treasure Tree appeared behind him. Beneath the tree, a shadow of Maitreya overlapped with Tan Wuwei's figure. Thousands of Buddhist texts swirled rapidly around him, forming a Mandala Barrier.

At the same time, the True Void Home retracted and merged with the barrier, causing space to be frozen, and the Buddhist chanting echoed nonstop.

"Boom!"

In the dazzling and bizarre vision, the twisted giant palm struck against the barrier, creating ripples layer by layer, shaking the frozen space. The True Void Home could barely withstand the palm's force.

"Splash—"

Suddenly, the sound of waves arose, muddy water light appeared abruptly, washing against the barrier, causing Tan Wuwei's expression to change drastically.

Although her senses were distorted, her mind was forcefully calmed by the "Great Sun Tathagata Seal," allowing her to perceive the familiar Dirt Qi coming toward her.

"He who cultivates benevolence is invincible, the lifeless future is boundless and becomes Wuwei."

The Buddha shadow on Tan Wuwei expanded, and under the added Buddha Light, a giant palm reached out, formed a Buddha Seal, and pushed forward.

When the two palms collided, space cracked, the ground trembled, echoing distant cliffs and rocks, sending waves surging and crashing furiously.

The approaching waves were instantly assimilated by the dirt wave, even using dirt to attract more, bringing the Five Vile Qi rolling in.

"Bang!"

In just a split second, the Buddha palm was shattered by the twisted giant palm, and the menacing five fingers reached for Tan Wuwei. The pitch-black talisman, like a sharp sword, pierced through Tan Wuwei's body.

The twisted senses returned to normal, and she saw the Heavenly Monarch standing before her, five fingers forming a claw. The talisman, which looked like insects, turned into black lines, stabbing into Tan Wuwei's body, spreading rapidly within her.

"Showing off the Path of Yukong before me... laughable."

Before the voice could finish, a faint blood color emerged from the Heavenly Monarch's body, spreading like mist, indicating that he was not unscathed, his injuries compounded.

Originally a newly formed body that, even after devouring another and most of Elder Kaiyang's essence and blood, could not catch up to his original body in a short time. To forcefully transform into the Yellow Heaven Dharma Form, a price must be paid.

But if he could capture Tan Wuwei, the cost would be worth it.

The Heavenly Monarch indeed had profound foresight, laying down a hidden hand early, only now erupting decisively, willing to worsen his injuries just to capture Tan Wuwei with thunderous means.

The talisman, like insects, rapidly devoured Tan Wuwei's Essence, Qi, and Spirit, using this third-rank strong person as nourishment to restore itself.

Though it compounded the injury, devouring Tan Wuwei could considerably improve the Heavenly Monarch's condition.

As they spoke, the talisman had completely filled Tan Wuwei's body, and the Three Corpses Curse Seal implanted in her quickly expanded. Meanwhile, the Heaven Creation Device began to gradually halt as it lost Tan Wuwei's control.

"Your schemes are impressive, but unfortunately, you underestimated me."

The Heavenly Monarch looked at Tan Wuwei and spoke calmly.

"I... would never dare underestimate the Heavenly Monarch."

Tan Wuwei, however, showed no sign of panic, instead, displayed a hint of relief, "I've long experienced the power of the Supreme; even if I succeed, I would never dare underestimate it."

Bright flames burned in her eyes, light erupting from all seven orifices as Tan Wuwei's Primordial Spirit began to melt, mixing with Incense Fire Thought Power and emerging, merging into the Heavenly Monarch's body. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This was Tan Wuwei contributing her incense fire, and she was sacrificing herself, with herself as the offering.

"To achieve my goal, I betrayed the Mo Sect, poisoned living creatures, and committed heinous crimes. Countless people were sacrificed by me, and now, it's my turn to make the sacrifice."

"Accept it, Heavenly Monarch, the last incense of your follower."

Her thoughts echoed in the Heavenly Monarch's mind, intertwined with the torrent of incense.

In a trance, the Heavenly Monarch seemed to see, in the abyssal blackness of the Heavenly Pit, a figure leaning against the rock wall, struggling to sit cross-legged, murmuring, "Heaven is dead, Yellow Heaven—shall rise!"

Zhang Zhixuan!

How could the Heavenly Monarch not recognize this figure; it was Zhang Zhixuan who had long died at Jiang Li's hands.

After Zhang Zhixuan's death, Tan Wuwei transformed Taiping's residual spirit to ascend, and the place of ascension was...

Outside that Heavenly Pit!

Even in death, Zhang Zhixuan didn't forget his faith, death instead unleashed the strongest willpower. This willpower was gathered by Tan Wuwei during her ascension, and now injected into the mind of the Heavenly Monarch.

This was Tan Wuwei's final attack.

She offered everything she had and sent Zhang Zhixuan's final will to the Heavenly Monarch, such an act, no wonder she could conceal it from the Heavenly Monarch before.

From the beginning, Tan Wuwei planned to give everything to the Heavenly Monarch, so even when the Heavenly Monarch checked the incense fire thought power offered by Tan Wuwei, he couldn't see her disloyalty, only fanaticism and determination.

This move by Tan Wuwei finally broke into the Heavenly Monarch's heart, causing all the incense fire thoughts to continually clash with the Heavenly Monarch's own thoughts.

The Heavenly Monarch couldn't help but grunt, his always indifferent face twisted, his expression becoming hideous.

"You think this can defeat me?"

He gritted his teeth, his face twisted grotesquely, yet despite this, his eyes remained indifferent.

The calmness in his eyes contrasted sharply with the distortion of his face.

"Even Jiang... The Emperor couldn't defeat me, and neither can you."

Even in this situation, the Heavenly Monarch didn't reveal Jiang Li's name; he even clenched his right hand, extracting Tan Wuwei's Essence, Qi, and Spirit, turning her into a dried corpse, absorbing the vast Three Elements.

Even when tricked by Tan Wuwei, the Heavenly Monarch decisively devoured Tan Wuwei's Three Elements, restoring his own strength while further suppressing foreign intentionality.

"You will only become my nourishment."

The Heavenly Monarch gritted his teeth, and around him, dark symbols appeared in the acupoints, crawling over his body like insects.

"Heavenly Monarch, at this point, I have severed all retreat, no matter how you speak, you cannot shake my will."

Tan Wuwei's voice echoed in the Heavenly Monarch's mind, responding to him while demonstrating her resolution, trying to use this to sway the Heavenly Monarch.

At this moment, both sides exhausted their means, even if these means were somewhat lowly, they still adopted them.

Perhaps, it might be effective.

Simultaneously, the clash of wills caused half of the Heavenly Monarch's face to become grotesque, while the other half transformed into a mist-like state, losing specific features.

Tan Wuwei intended for the Heavenly Monarch to metamorphose into Yellow Heaven and modify his will, then replace Heaven to change this world.

While the Heavenly Monarch aimed to completely devour Tan Wuwei and these Incense Fire Thought Power, turning them into his own.

In doing so, he could restore part of his injuries and shake off his current weakness.

Both sides had powerful determination and absolutely wanted to win!

And the result is...

"Do you know what tragedy is?"

A third party's voice suddenly intruded.

Both sides suddenly felt a chill as they recognized who the voice belonged to.

"Tragedy is tearing up beautiful things for everyone to see."

Jiang Li stepped out from the void, saying leisurely: "Now, I shall tear your beauty into tragedy."

The Heavenly Monarch might win, Tan Wuwei might also win, they were only a step, or even half a step away from their success, their 'beauty.'

But this half-step, they will never advance.

Because Jiang Li would block them before the end, tearing their 'beauty' apart, casting them into a deep abyss.

"I will savor this tragedy."
