Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1236 - 27: Three Thousand Worlds in a Single Thought

First control Jiang Li, then trap the Great Heavenly Venerate, this water has been muddled by the Great Venerable.

There's no doubt about the name of the world's greatest agitator.

Earlier, the Great Heavenly Venerate appeared, replacing the sky of the Yin World with Heaven, and now the Candle Dragon revealed itself, pressing down and shattering Heaven.

After all, Heaven was not truly inhabited by a cultivator possessing the Fuxi Dao Fruit, and the Great Heavenly Venerate had not yet fully mastered Heaven. Thus, when attacked by the Great Venerable, it was naturally suppressed instantly.

At the same time, Jiang Li spoke, activating his divine skills, "Stop!"

The urgency of the moment left no room for excess; Jiang Li could only utter the brief words that momentarily trapped the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Right after, the Candle Dragon, which perched upon the heavens of the Yin World like stretching mountain ranges, slowly opened its eyes.

The Yin World momentarily brightened, infinite light like countless sharp swords tearing the universe apart, dividing nether soil.

A moment was enough to plunge the Great Heavenly Venerate into extreme difficulty.

Because time seemed insignificant to the Candle Dragon, this moment could be stretched to a whole day, allowing it to leisurely perform its moves.

Even Jiang Li and the Great Heavenly Venerate faintly felt a sluggishness within themselves.

Their extraordinary Dao practice and Realm allowed them to perceive the slowing of their own time.

Though both were third grade, each was supported by formidable power. Jiang Li possessed "I am the State" and the hidden "Tri-legged Nine Provinces," now fused with the Divine Country. The Great Heavenly Venerate, as the Heavenly Incarnation, could stabilize his own time without external influence.

Yet now, the Great Venerable's Cosmic Light Divine Ability exerted some effect on both of them.

If indeed struck by the Great Venerable's move, the consequence would likely be grim.

Resisting Cosmic Light Divine Ability doesn't mean there's no fear of the Great Venerable's move. Like using Primordial Qi to defend against an attack, should the Qi be breached and the move invade the body, death is inevitable.

The same holds true for the Great Venerable's Cosmic Light Divine Ability.

Once defense is breached, suppression ensues, and one might experience the terror of Cosmic Light Divine Ability.

At that moment, celestial light and Dao energy burst from the Great Heavenly Venerate, talismans emerged like clouds, forming clusters of blue clouds surrounding the body. Sword Qi like limitless void appeared in perception, directly shattering Jiang Li's divine skills.

"Primordial Qi Shangqing Divine Talisman!" Jiang Li revealed the source of the blue clouds.

The Primordial Qi Shangqing Divine Talisman, Upper Pure Sect's greatest treasure, had fallen into the Great Heavenly Venerate's hands.

No wonder the Great Heavenly Venerate could resonate with the Green Duckweed Sword, not just because of the Dao Fruit from the Shangqing lineage within the Investiture of the Gods he possessed, but also due to mastering Upper Pure Sect's methods and holding the Primordial Qi Shangqing Divine Talisman.

This fellow had long prepared for seizing the Three Pure Dao Artifacts.

Sword Qi broke from confinement, clusters of green lotus bloomed, the Great Heavenly Venerate raised a hand, drawing out a sheathed sword, the green-black sword light soared, and the blinding light sword dimmed in an instant.

Yet the source of the light held a vast Qi mechanism, giant banners waved, numerous demon shadows encircled.

Evil Summoning Banner?

No, the key wasn't the Evil Summoning Banner, but the bronze pot where the Evil Summoning Banner resided.

The Demon Refining Pot, bearing the Wa Emperor Dao Fruit, was the real key!

The present world's demon, ghost, and monster Dao Fruits, eighty percent are refined from the Demon Refining Pot. For these entities, it is akin to the Investiture of the Gods for Divine Attribute Dao Fruits, even higher in grade comparison.

If the complete Wa Emperor Dao Fruit was within the Demon Refining Pot, then it is undoubtedly First Grade.

Now the Demon Refining Pot appears, the Evil Summoning Banner rises, wild demon energy is united by a supreme Divine Intent, the Great Venerable's eyes open, radiant light descends from the sky dome.

"Darkness and Brightness, Heaven and Earth Sinking."

Radiant heaven light fell from the sky, shattering the azure sky, colliding with the soaring Qingping Sword Light.

The light, carrying boundless brilliance yet hiding the mystery of creation, opposed the void-like sword light. Colliding, the brightness manifested an ancient heaviness, surprisingly applying creation's mystery to transport, rendering solid greater than void.

The Qingping Sword Light was crushed and fragmented, unmatched heaviness descended upon the earth.

"Boom——"

It was like the world was breaking······

No, this section of the Yin World truly fractured.

Nether soil land was crushed, even the domain of the Yin World was shattered, the imprint left by Jiang Li in the Yin World was directly erased, and light swept over like raging dragons, ripping the earth apart.

Jiang Li transformed into Tai Shi, his form like a phantom, traversing across the Yin World, his expression exceedingly stern.

This strike directly destroyed the Promotion Ceremony for the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit, even though Tianxuan and others had already arranged to bring various dukes and inspectors to the Divine Capital, it was all for naught.

Moreover······

Jiang Li didn't turn his head, but the Yellow Emperor's Four Faces made his vision and perception flawless, directly sensing the divination from outside the Yin World.

The Great Venerable sealed the Yin World.

Strong assault on the Great Heavenly Venerate, sealing the Yin World, but also destroying the imprint Jiang Li left in the Yin World, and disrupting the Promotion Ceremony for the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit.

And at this moment, though the earth veins began to recover, it hadn't reached a certain boundary, still falling short of a five-thousand-year achievement.

'This agitator Great Venerable intends······'

The thought hadn't fully emerged when, in the chaos-covered region, sixty-four beams of light rose, manifesting sixty-four divination signs, star river cycled, complex formations trapped a silhouette.

"Emperor Xi, return."

In the long call, the star river formed by the Book of Luo River Map, and the Evil Summoning Banner together emitted an invisible gravity, seemingly forcibly summoning a certain existence.

Meanwhile, terrifying pressure directly crashed over, causing Jiang Li's silhouette to ripple.

'Not only seeking to seize the Fuxi Dao Fruit, but also aiming to imprison my being.'

As for what happens after being imprisoned, only the Great Venerable knows.

This agitator, once he strikes, it's with unparalleled power, aiming to reclaim the Fuxi Dao Fruit.

More critically, the Great Venerable can now control the Demon Refining Pot, and has the Book of Luo River Map.

The Book of Luo River Map was the carrier of the Fuxi Dao Fruit, a First Grade Dao Artifact, though after the Dao Fruit departed, its inherent power diminished under the End of Dharma, losing its First Grade Dao Artifact might.

Yet now used to attract the Fuxi Dao Fruit, the Book of Luo River Map is indeed the optimal choice.

Once the Great Venerable retrieves the Fuxi Dao Fruit, obtaining another First Grade Dao Artifact, it poses no challenges in mastering it.

"Great Venerable, you certainly present me with a difficult challenge."

In the Imperial City, beneath the ginsengfruit tree, Jiang Li gazed at the crimson sky, in the sunset glow, sighed lightly, then raised a hand, a massive banner was slowly sent out by him.

The shifting circumstances made employing the Pangu Banner inevitable.

Leaving the Yin World in itself isn't too difficult, but doing so would grant the Great Venerable maximum benefit. Therefore, Jiang Li can't retreat.

The Pangu Banner fluttered, the space before it automatically divided, chaotic Qi mechanisms and divination signs simultaneously appeared in the cracks, even pressure poured out, yet were easily suppressed by the banner.

Jiang Li's eyes reflected the scene of the Yin World, about to send the Pangu Banner into the crack——

Suddenly, a divine light flashed, from the Jade Seal carrying the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit an image flew out, pinpointing a finger at Jiang Li's brow.

"One Thought Three Thousand Realms."

No longer layered space, but a three thousand realms, both real and illusory, simultaneously surged into Jiang Li's body and consciousness.

His body, akin to facing Heaven Creation, swiftly transformed, within consciousness and physique, opened up numerous small worlds.

This happened as Jiang Li was sending out the Pangu Banner, occurring at the most improbable moment to have an accident.
