Chapter 25: Desperate Spark, Sudden Betrayal, Monkey Born to the World
The Heavenly Dragon gathered the strength of the Dragon Clan's true body and the Bodhisattva Dharma Body, empowered by the "Bodhisattva Vehicle", and renowned for its might.
Yun Jiuye, transformed into the Yellow Dragon at fifth-rank, nonetheless drew upon the power of Yellow Heaven and also deployed the technique to sever the Heavenly Mechanism, rendering his movements unpredictable.
Opportunities slip away in the blink of an eye; both parties exerted their full strength in a strike, aiming to surround Wei to rescue Zhao, and also to seize this chance to attempt a reversal of the situation.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Biehe's face, smeared with blood, twisted into a savage grimace as his blood qi blazed like wild flames.
"Emperor Yan's Blood."
The Jiang family's life-or-death Forbidden Technique was activated. Instead of retreating, Jiang Biehe advanced, his blood qi flaring, cleansing both above and below, his flesh burning and melting, and incidentally, his power surged, "Samaya Seal."
The blood that sprayed from the severed arms was forcibly coagulated into limbs, the blood fire flared vehemently, and a huge handprint struck directly at Jiang Li who was swinging his sword, "Even if I am to die, I must..."
Jiang Li turned into a beam of light, and his Great Circle Sword pierced through the Samaya Seal and into Jiang Biehe's chest.
Wind Queen's Strange Gate, Dragon and Snake Body, his form accelerated, fast as wind and thunder.
And the sword, faster than man!
Furthermore, Jiang Biehe's True Qi and the Samadhi Bright King of Fire in his handprints did not hinder the Sword Light in the slightest.
He stared blankly with wide eyes, fixated on the Eight Trigrams in Jiang Li's left eye and the faint scale patterns that were hidden and revealed on his cheeks.
"Three Emperors—"
"Too much nonsense."
The blade of the Great Circle Sword bloomed like a flower, countless Sword Lights from within pierced through Jiang Biehe's body, extinguishing his Primordial Spirit and even plundering the power that also belonged to Innate Qi.
Before the attacks of the other two arrived, Jiang Li harvested Jiang Biehe's life.
At the same time, on Jiang Li's neck, two other heads quietly emerged, slowly raising their heads, six eyes each watching their own targets.
"Perfect timing."
The Heavenly Eye clearly observed both parties' attacks, and Jiang Li's form suddenly underwent a tremendous change.
From the height of an average person, he rapidly expanded dozens of meters, revealing Three Heads and Six Arms, one arm reaching out and catching a blood-red rainbow, boundless blood evils surging to the sky, resembling a red comet filled with the most ferocious and fierce aura.
"All Heaven Divine Sha!"
Guangli Bodhisattva roared, identifying the source of the blood evil. Dragon Claws pulled at the heavens, colliding hard with the red comet.
"Boom!"
It was as though a blood star exploded in the mid-air, scales breaking off from the Dragon Claw, flesh blurred, while the blood-red Divine Evil penetrated the wound, corrupting the dragon's limb.
Invoking Fatian Xiangdi is not a mere physical expansion; no matter how large it becomes, its density remains unchanged. This means one's own strength is proportionally increased, leading to a tenfold or even several dozen-fold enhancement in this state.
Yin Tulong used it to combat ancient beings like Wuzhiqi at close quarters, allowing himself to wield strength comparable to that of Wuzhiqi.
And Jiang Li, his Physical Body now supported by "Carry Mountains and Chase the Sun" and having just acquired a rudimentary understanding of the "Eight-Nine Profound Skill", must have formidable bodily strength, and under the state of Fatian Xiangdi, it must have swelled to what level.
Even with only a tenfold increase, he was already far beyond Guangli Bodhisattva.
Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch's reputation as possessing the Dao Fruit Divine Power was widely known, but few knew of its Divine Skills. Guangli Bodhisattva did not know that Jiang Li possessed the ability of Fatian Xiangdi and now suffered a great loss.
Within the blood-red comet, the enlarged Bronze Battle Spear struck the Dragon Claw, and even before the weapon's sharpness could come into play, the enormous force violently exploded Guangli Bodhisattva's dragon arm.
"Ow!"
The Heavenly Dragon howled in pain, dragon blood rained down like rain, and Guangli Bodhisattva was severely wounded with one strike.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the expression on the head facing the Yellow Dragon remained indifferent, the Heavenly Eye on the brow surveyed all directions, revealing every trace, pointing accurately, hitting the approaching yellow light.
Yun Jiuye possessed the Secret Technique passed down from Gongsun Qi and was bolstered by the power of Yellow Heaven, untraceable through Divination. He had previously used this advantage to launch a stealth attack on Gongsun Qingyue's avatar.
However, when mystic arts did not work, physical science prevailed.
The Heavenly Eye locked onto Yun Jiuye's movements directly with its gaze, playing none of the Mystical tricks.
One finger like the Heavenly Pillar Mountain traversed the sky, an unmatched force piercing the yellow heavens, striking the Yellow Dragon squarely.
Traces of talismans were shining on the dragon scales, emitting blinding light, Six Ding and Six Jia Talisman, Five Dings Mountain Opening Talisman, Wandering God Charm, Heavenly Mansion Cloud Wave Talisman... Each dragon scale was a talisman, and many talismans combined to form the body of the Yellow Dragon.
Yun Jiuye had also carved his own path in the "Form Tomb" cultivation.
Alas—
After all talismans burst to their limits, they suddenly exploded, like a dying sun releasing its last light and heat. Before the Heavenly Pillar Mountain-like fingertip, the Yellow Dragon crumbled bit by bit, neither the power of Yellow Heaven nor the capability of the talismans could withstand the coming destruction.
A streak of yellow light escaped from the disintegrating dragon body ahead of time, swift as a startled swan, cutting through the sky.
"Sixth Brother, you win again this time, but I am not yet dead, so it does not count as a total defeat."
Yun Jiuye's Primordial Spirit fled, thoughts turning into words and spreading across distances, "Five Generals, open the gate."
His Physical Body was wiped out, but his Primordial Spirit remained, and with the Earthly Underworld Yin God of the Five Generals opening the portal to the underworld, he could completely escape to the Yin Path. Without a Physical Body, he could simply switch to cultivating the Ghost Path.
Yun Jiuye felt confident with the support of the Yin Law Department and Gongsun Qi, as long as a breath remained, the path was not yet severed.
As long as he entered the underworld, as long as...
"Have you not realized yet, Big Brother?"
