Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1192 - 4: Life and Death

"Boom!"

An even more intense vibration than when Sun Wukong stirred the Pure Light and Dirt Evil earlier appeared in this realm, sweeping clear all the clashing Pure Light and Dirt Evil within a thousand-mile radius, restoring clarity above and below, while the Drought Demon Ba swiftly retreated due to the aftermath's turbulent wave.

Even she, a formidable warrior, felt threatened at that moment.

"This······"

Surprised, the Drought Demon Ba had a look of astonishment in her eyes, "How can this be······"

Yes, how can this be?

In the direct confrontation with the Great Heavenly Venerate, Emperor Jiang surprisingly did not fall behind.

Clearly, he had already lost the divine skill of [I am the state], and now unlike his previous battle with the Heavenly Monarch, he didn't use "One Qi to Three Pure Ones".

The Great Heavenly Venerate's power, although difficult for the Drought Demon Ba to fully comprehend, she was absolutely sure that without divine skills, Jiang Li's strength alone should be inferior to the Great Heavenly Venerate.

After all, the Great Heavenly Venerate was transformed from Heaven, worshipped by all the people across the world, and even received sacrifices from past Emperors. Even Ancestor Zhou of the Great Zhou and other elders of the Three Clans offered themselves to Heaven upon death to bolster Heaven's power.

Yet the fact remains that, however astounding, it is not false, and moreover——

"Halt! Demon, take a blow from me, old Sun!"

Sun Monkey played his old game, wielding his mighty staff, striking down from the skies.

The Jingu Bang, heavy as a star, forcefully pulled the surrounding space, even threatening to pull the Drought Demon Ba into its gravitational range to take this head-on blow.

This is the fundamental stick technique of Sun Wukong.

Concentrating absolute force into one stick, causing everything to move towards the Jingu Bang, regardless of the enemy, engaging in a pure strength contest.

Only if one can withstand it can they be considered an opponent, otherwise they perish.

Seeing this, the Drought Demon Ba gathered her thoughts, fully engaging in battle, flaming Qi surging around her, dyeing her hair blue, transforming into a blue ribbon, wrapping around her arms; her palms struck forward, constantly generating an influx of Flaming Qi and energy, blasting towards the Jingu Bang, obviously employing a pure strength technique.

Drought God Palm·As Burning As Frying.

One possesses unparalleled strength, the other a miraculous technique capable of burning external force and Primordial Qi into Flame Energy and heat; the collision sent Flame Waves roaring, Flaming Qi scorching space into a crimson hue.

Catching the Jingu Bang with her bare hands, yet entirely unscathed, the Drought Demon Ba spun around, stepping on Kan and Li, traversing the Kun Earth, her body advancing, using fire to stimulate water, as if walking between polar extremes, ignoring the gravitational pull of the Jingu Bang, traversing space, approaching Sun Wukong with roaring flames.

Whether the mythological Drought Demon Ba or this current Ba, both are rare fierce gods throughout history. The former fought alongside the Yellow Emperor against Chi You, the latter turning half a province into scorched earth.

Know that the vastness of Yong Province ranks among the top three in the Nine Provinces, with half of Yong Province larger than two Qing State.

Such tremendous power, how could it be othered?

Hence, after taking a move, the Drought Demon Ba approached directly, imposing world-dominating fierceness upon Sun Monkey, fearing not Sun Wukong's battle prowess.

Today, it will be monkey brain dipped in wine!

"Come, come, come!"

Sun Wukong showed no fear, shouted loudly, revealing Buddha Light, Pure Saint Buddha Qi around him, transforming into the Dharma Manifestation of Victorious Battle Buddha, merging with himself.

Though he doesn't practice Summoning Technique, he learned the method from the Awakened to manifest Dharma with thought, and the thought of Victorious Battle Buddha ranks high among Buddhas. Which Buddha Bodhisattva has the heart and experience of a great riot in the Heavenly Palace?

Both are fierce beings, clashing now like Heavenly thunder igniting Earth fire, creating an immensely grand aura; if placed in the Nine Provinces, it might destroy half a province in no time.

Meanwhile, the sword tip transformed from Chi You's Flag shattered immense strength, causing Vigorous Primordial Qi to scatter and recoil, the Great Heavenly Venerate's mirage solidifying, directly neutralizing the scattered power, a golden Sword Light emitted from his palm, forming a golden sword.

"Clang!"

The overwhelming Qi mechanism condenses into Sword Qi, colliding with Chi You's Flag, moving up and down, shifting in all directions.

The space that had never truly been affected appeared to oscillate.

Then, both sides gathered immense aura, instantly forming intricate overlapping formations, intertwining and colliding.

Qi veins twisted like dragons, formations sequentially interlocking, within moments spinning in thousands of transformations, becoming thousands of arrays colliding.

Jiang Li observed with the Heavenly Eye, and reflected with the heart of the Supreme, using Observing Qi to trace sources, keenly noticing the Great Heavenly Venerate's Inner Heaven and Earth beginning to split, forming the Nine Layers of Heaven. Each layer forms a Great Formation, nine interlinked, gathering boundless strength.

The sword in his hand acts like a door, releasing the power of these Nine Heavens within one strike.

Moreover, the sword's blade bore imprints, one side depicting the common people, the other the Nine-layered Heavenly Palace, manifesting divinities and demons; the golden sword body resembles Xuanyuan Sword, evidently related to it.

"Nine Rites Heavenly Venerate Sword," Jiang Li said solemnly, "and the Dao Fruit of Shaohao Jintian."

Eight hundred years ago, the sword imitating Xuanyuan Sword by Ancestor Zhou of the Great Zhou — Nine Rites Heavenly Venerate Sword, though inferior to Xuanyuan Sword, ranked among the top sword of current times, consuming countless divine materials from the Ji Family and Jiang family, forged by Ancestor Zhou and the Jiang Family Master adept with the Divine Farmer's Cauldron.

Combined with the Dao Fruit of Shaohao contained by Ancestor Zhou, it could confront the Military God wielding the Military God's Five Weapons.

And now, the Great Heavenly Venerate uses it to duel Jiang Li, wielding Chi You's Flag.
