Taiyi Dao Fruit

The Great Circle Sword took on the color of the mountains, like a condensed mountain peak, and when it smashed down, no sharpness was seen, only a profound heft.

Su Nu flipped the ancient zither made of gold and jade onto its side to block the Great Circle Sword, but a single strike shattered it. Twenty-five guitar strings pulled taut by a pair of jade-like palms formed a net, pressed down upon by the Sword Light—in an instant—

The strings, ground down by the Sword Light, fell onto Su Nu's body, the fearsome power transmitted to her body, causing blood light to burst from all her limbs simultaneously.

Such a simple sword strike, possessing only brutal strength, had heavily wounded Su Nu, who was of the same fourth-rank, and the relentless sword tip pressed on, causing sounds of bone shattering throughout her body.

"Seamless."

Su Nu urged the West Beauty Miao Zhen Xuan Qi quickly, sketching with the guitar strings, her skirt rustling, producing billowing clouds, without any cracks or gaps, even the space around her was woven close without any intervals.

Kunxu Immortal Palace's "Seamless" technique was displayed to its limits by Su Nu, and her Heavenly Clothes also contained a fraction of the power of the Plain Cloud Realm Flag. Now, as she used it, it resisted the heavy pressing at a critical moment.

But in the next instant, the Great Circle Sword entered Jiang Li's palm, the Innate Eight Qi arrayed within his grasp, and he struck the seamless space with his palm.

"Boom!"

Space burst like a balloon, and a pitch-black gap appeared before Jiang Li's palm. The force of his palm struck, and Su Nu was forcefully sent into the gap.

In this brief encounter, Su Nu was ousted!

It was because Jiang Li's speed caught people off guard, but also because the gap in strength was too vast. Su Nu was not a powerhouse among the fourth-rank like Yin Tulong—how could she escape Jiang Li's ruthless hand?

With one move ousting Su Nu, Jiang Li glanced back, the Heavenly Eye between his brows flickered with light, and the dense Sword Qi suddenly froze at his side.

Then, from within the Heavenly Eye, a flash of light burst forth, collapsing the Sword Qi, and two beams of Sword Light shot back—it was Wu Hook Double Swords.

This was clearly an attack by Jiang Biehe, trying to surround Wei to rescue Zhao.

Alas, he still couldn't stop Jiang Li.

The frozen swords shattered and flew, and the Buddha Light from afar didn't pause, shooting forth without hesitation.

If there's someone among the crowd who wished for Jiang Li's death the most, it would undoubtedly be the Jiang family. The stronger Jiang Li became— the greater the threat the Jiang family faced. One of them must fall, and the other would rise on their fallen bones to take over the Jiang family.

Jiang Biehe, carrying Buddha Light, skyrocketed and midflight, had already transformed into the form of Bright King Jun Tuli, the Dharma Body and Physical Body unified, with the Bodhisattva Undying Body manifested to the utmost, the form of the Dharma Body embodied within him.

His foundation had secretly shifted long ago, already veering off when accommodating the Dao Fruit of Prince Ganlu—Bright King Jun Tuli. At this moment, exerting his full power, he left behind no trace of the Daoists' ethereal grace but only the pure sanctity of a Buddha.

Nine Arhats formed the Mandala Formation and followed close behind, seemingly merging into one with Jiang Biehe.

The sacred chant grew louder, cleansing everything between heaven and earth, the overwhelming Buddha's energy turned the skies golden.

But before the Buddha Light could spread, Jiang Li had already burst into its domain and charged into the Mandala Formation.

His figure flickered, turning once more into the wind, and upon nearing the Buddha Light, he completely merged with the Buddha's energy, blending into it. At this moment, his corporeal body was the Primordial Qi Body, possessing all the characteristics of Innate Qi and capable of merging with the Ten Thousand Qi. Hence, the earlier intercourse between the Great Circle Sword and Qi Blade.

And within the Buddha Light, Jiang Li's form changed again.

From a body of light Primordial Qi to Physical Body— all of the Primordial Qi transformed into Essence Energy, and golden-red light poured from all his pores, shaping him into a form like flames.

This didn't manifest merely as a Qi Mechanism, but rather as confirmation of vigorous life-force.

Such life force, beyond description by essence energy plumes, seemed as if it contained a sun within his body.

Jiang Li, having just acquired the Eight-Nine Profound Skill and newly ventured into transformation, merged his Three Elements into one, able to shift among the forms of Essence, Qi, and Divinity. Now, Jiang Li manifested his Physical Body, his Power and Divine Sense both transformed into life-force, and that unprecedentedly robust life-force penetrated the Buddha Light, with his progression bringing the Mandala Formation to the brink of collapse.

"Arhat Demon Suppression."

The Arhats quickly dispersed, shifting the formation, encompassing both Jiang Li and Jiang Biehe, the Buddha Light surged tremendously, aiding Jiang Biehe while attempting to suppress Jiang Li's life-force, Qi Mechanism, and momentum.

The Bright King Jun Tuli Dharma Body stepped through the air, with Dragon Escape Pillars manifesting, three golden rings tracing arcs, and attempting to ensnare from three directions simultaneously. The strangely-shaped Wu Hook Double Swords traced a dangerously crossed path, their sharp edges slicing through wind, clouds, and even the fabric of space.

Yet, before the swords could ascend, Jiang Li's left eye was already shimmering with light, while the vertical Heavenly Eye on his forehead returned to rotation, its brilliance penetrating through all that was tangible and intangible.

Before the sword style was unleashed, Jiang Li had already penetrated all developments.

The golden-red radiance shook violently, directly dispelling the three golden rings, all unable to approach Jiang Li.

The Great Circle Sword's light weaved into threads, with swift alterations; in a blink, it passed through the nascent sword momentum and struck Bright King Jun Tuli's chest.

The Innate Qi within the Sword Light evolved, embodying both creation and destruction. Even the Bodhisattva Undying Body was pierced by the sword, leaving a gap and dimming the Buddha Light.

Jiang Li stepped forth, and the air beneath formed waves of energy. The formidable force directly shook the fabric of space itself, rippling out waves; he tread the void as if treading on waves, with ripples of space surfacing beneath his feet— Innate Mountain Qi merged into his fingers, solidifying the 'Outer Object Transformation' into a mountain shape within his grasp.

"Mountain Ghost God Shock."

It was the Five Finger Mountain, more like five towering mountains. Jiang Li, with the gods within the mountain shapes, immortalized the Five Mountains in his grasp— icy, grand, towering, upright, and precipitous. The five forms of the mountain melded into his fingers, the Five Mountains of the past era manifested within his palm.
