Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"You madman! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Since you're courting death, Meiji, there's no need to hold back. We'll come up with another plan later—let's join forces and kill this bastard now!"

"Agreed! I was just thinking the same!"

Faced with Yi Chen's aggressive advance, the fused form of the Heavenly Ghost Blood Monster immediately synchronized its thoughts and entered an enigmatic and mystical state.

These two legendary experts, who had once ascended to the Dao Fruit Ninth Layer Realms, wasted no more time, instantly pushing the power of the Evil Ghost Dao Fruit to its utmost limit.

The sky darkened in an instant.

A darkness so profound that one couldn't even see their own hand before their face.

In the shocking moment of transformation, all beings of the Ancient Star Realm were once again plunged into sheer panic.

From the heavens descended a colossal demon-like apparition—a horrifying manifestation of the Evil Ghost Dao Fruit's cultivation powers.

This terrifying demon statue stretched out its gigantic hands with the force to split chaos and crack heaven and earth, carrying the might of wind and thunder. It struck at Yi Chen, bearing the momentum to overtake him despite moving second.

Boom!

A monstrous explosion erupted!

Shockwaves, sharp as blade edges, swept across heaven and earth.

Zhan Xingzi and Huan Gu inwardly cursed, realizing the danger. They hastily used their Great Power to create layer upon layer of barriers atop the Red Sea, isolating the shockwaves to prevent catastrophic destruction to the Eastern Continent.

Right now, this was all they could do.

For the battlefield in the upper heavens had surpassed the bounds of what they could interfere with.

Such overwhelming might—despite their cultivation, even attempting to restrain the wild and sinister Evil Demon Statue was beyond their abilities.

"Die for me!"

The terrifying demon statue let out a piercing shriek, its successful strike stirring the demon to roar earth-shakingly.

Yet instantly, its rigid statue-like face revealed a fleeting expression of shock.

Within its fused giant palm, an unprecedented and overwhelming aura surged forth, tearing through the heavens with blinding white light!

Between the statue's formidable palms, a blazing sun erupted with unstoppable force, tearing apart the darkened sky and making its presence known in the mortal world—peerless, unparalleled.

"Squawk!"

"True! Yang! God! Heavenly! Guide!"

A spherical shield formed of Extreme Origin Light Flames emerged, and within its confines loomed the large face of a Taoist from the darkness.

Yi Chen grinned ferociously and said, "If your strength stops here, then it seems to me you've been lying. This so-called Fusion Dao Fruit isn't as powerful as you've claimed."

"If you lie to me, you die. So, have you prepared your postures for death?"

By now, the Taoist's upper robe had already disintegrated, revealing a body resembling an intimidating Devil God. His long silvery-white hair billowed high behind him, while his frightful 'qi' permeated most of the firmament.

Yi Chen stood with arms crossed, elevated half a head above the Evil Demon Statue, smirking tauntingly as he gazed at the monster created by the fusion of the Heavenly Ghost and Blood Sinner Dao Fruits.

The True Technique at the twenty-nine realms had only recently broken through in Yi Chen's main body back in the Lingxia Realm. Adjusting and transforming its power required time, but now Yi Chen had finally ascended to his absolute peak.

As for the True Yang God Heavenly Guide, it was naturally an accompanying True Martial Divine Power birthed by the extraordinary mutation of the True Technique at the twenty-nine realms.

On the shield of Extreme Origin Flames were ninety-seven massive fiery streaming lights that raced across its surface. From time to time, massive bursts of light spouted forth, resembling flaming white phosphorus rounds that dragged long tails through the heavens.

Each streaming light wasn't chaotic but followed its unique trajectory, generating unimaginable might as it burned.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yi Chen's figure danced through the void as if treading solid ground, making three consecutive leaps before suddenly appearing behind the Evil Demon Statue. With his mighty palm, he snagged onto one of the statue's immense arms.

A pull and a stomp—instantly, the Evil Demon Statue found itself thrust thirty thousand miles into the air, one massive arm ripped away and clenched in Yi Chen's hand.

Extreme Origin surged as horrific flames flared up, refining the severed appendage into nothing but ash in mere moments.

The true power of the Gravity Dao Fruit extended far beyond simple magnetic field acceleration. Its ultimate function lay in one terrifying concept: space folding.

Imagine a sheet of paper—if one wished to travel from point A to point B, the shortest route would simply be the straight line between them.

What the Gravity Dao Fruit achieved was the ability to fold this conceptual sheet known as space, bringing point A entirely over point B, thus creating an effect akin to instantaneous spatial teleportation.

Zhan Xingzi turned back, his gaze landing on Yi Chen's rear. For a moment, his face was consumed by awe.

Yi Chen's exposed muscular back had undergone obvious alterations, resembling the divine embodiment of a ghost wielding shield and battle-axe—the Ghost Back!

An indescribably potent and mystical aura emanated from the markings etched upon his back.

"What say you, fellow Taoists? Does this Daoist skill of mine meet your eye?"

"Isn't it impressive?"

Yi Chen grinned, shaking off the faint traces of dust upon his hand before once again smiling as he turned back toward the now disfigured Evil Demon Statue.

Not waiting for a response, his smile quickly twisted into a feral snarl!

"Take that, you bastard! Take that! Take that! Take that!"

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

Yi Chen darted to multiple impossible angles, striking with fists, legs, palms, and tears. At times, he condensed an Extreme Origin Light Halberd and began dismantling the Evil Demon Statue piece by piece.

Though the terrifying statue activated its heightened defenses under the Evil Ghost Dao Fruit's manifestation, it was inevitable that prolonged defense invited vulnerability, and soon two colossal legs were ripped apart by Yi Chen.

Seeing that all its attacks were blocked by the True Yang God Heavenly Guide shielding Yi Chen while he continued his relentless annihilation, the consciousness formed by the fusion of Heavenly Ghost and Blood Sinner Dao Fruits began to feel panicked, losing its earlier confidence.
