Taiyi Dao Fruit

The air around them rapidly turned cold after crossing the mountains, and biting cold winds blew like knives.

After the flood, the land of Liangzhou Province was mostly cloudy and rainy, experiencing the deepest cold of early spring, giving Jiang Li a taste of a climate starkly different from that of Yong Province.

At the same time, Jiang Li also sensed a subtle evil Qi, permeating between heaven and earth, lingering among the clouds and mountains.

After floods and continuous battles, millions, if not tens of millions, of living creatures had died. Now the vast Liangzhou was turning into a land of evil, and the killing intent between heaven and earth remained undispersed even two months later, but instead, showed signs of intensifying.

When Jiang Li returned to Liangzhou, it was like a spark falling into oil, boiling the killing intent between heaven and earth.

"Sister, you go first into the Mirror World; I'll go greet them."

While speaking, Gongsun Qingyue entered into the fragment of the Heavenly Mirror, while Jiang Li, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, pulled the overwhelming killing intent, causing torrents to form in the sky.

It is said that when heaven releases killing intent, stars change their courses; when earth releases killing intent, dragon and snake rise to the land; and when man releases killing intent, heaven and earth turn back and forth. Jiang Li, driven by killing intent, brought rolling calamity clouds forward, alarming countless people with his immense momentum.

In just a moment, the calamity clouds surged into the territory occupied by the Taiping Sect, divine lights rising in response to the killing intent, ascending into the sky, forming stars for interception.

The Taiping Sect had established thirty-six branches across the Nine Provinces. After the uprising, the heads of these thirty-six branches became thirty-six Channel Commanders, each harboring one of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars. Sensing the rolling calamity clouds heading towards what is now the core territory of the Taiping Sect, the Channel Commanders immediately attempted to block it.

But before the Channel Commanders could rise into the sky, the killing intent and calamity clouds swept away the divine lights, sweeping through one appearing Heavenly Gang Star after another, unstoppable in their mighty force.

With the Heavenly Eye surveying in all directions, even the invisible Incense Fire Thought Power could be detected. Jiang Li followed the traces of incense fire, tracking its origin to the western side of Liangzhou Province, and finding a basin-like rift.

"Found it."

The evil clouds suddenly expanded, surging like tidal waves, obscuring the sky dome, the chilling killing intent making the cosmos brittle, a bone-piercing chill sweeping over heaven and earth.

Jiang Li's figure slowly descended from the sky, landing on a mountain range, gazing far into the rift, his eyes revealing the Eight Trigrams Image.

"Emperor's Ultimate World, Innate Eight Sceneries."

A massive Eight Trigrams Array taking Jiang Li as its center, stood vertically, cutting into the mountains, touching the heavens, Ochre Whip in hand. The Divine Skill [Outer Object Transformation] from Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit, under the enhancement of a divine treasure, rose to fourth-rank.

The Dao Fruit within Ochre Whip was associated with the human-like aspect of Emperor Yan, primarily focused on cultural legacy with its most offensive divine skill being the transformation of medicine into poison. But this did not mean the Dao Fruit was useless.

The ability belonging to the Primordial Human could elevate any human species' Dao Fruit Ability to Jiang Li's current grade; hence—

The atmosphere cried out, and the tumultuous calamity clouds in the sky were pushed aside by a massive object. An upside-down, treacherously sharp mountain crushed the air as it fell from the sky.

"Mountain Ghost God Shock."

[Outer Object Transformation] took shape, Innate Mountain Qi imbued it with power, and the Eight Trigrams Gen Mountain gave it intent. The genuine mountain, casting its shadow over the earth, covered the valley. The invisible pressure like a giant hammer pressed downwards, declaring the immense power of the massive object.

Evil spirits were to be suppressed and ground down beneath this huge mountain mass, and gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters showed fear under such force.

Ghosts and gods are truly shocked.

"Stop!"

A shout erupted from within the valley, and the figure of a giant god materialized, immediately dominating the landscape. With arms lifting to the sky, he caught the plummeting mountain in a majestic stance.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, mountains trembled, and the giant god's feet almost instantly crushed the ground and shattered the rock layers. Even covered with arm armor, the bulging muscles on his arms were clearly visible as he held up the mountain, his form suddenly sinking.

"Boom!"

Like a dragon turning over, several long fissures spread from under his feet, the heavy pressure made the giant god's form slightly shorter, but then he slowly straightened again.

The gigantic mountain was indeed supported by his arms.

"Who dares to attack our sect's vital territory?"

The giant god's tiger eyes swept around, his voice thundering, echoing through the mountains.

And his gaze quickly locked onto the figure in the midst of the huge array map.

"Jiang Li!" The voice of the Immortal of Colossal Spirit was deep, like a tsunami, carrying a fierce momentum.

"Jiang Li!"

Above the statue in the valley, the Yellow Cloud surged, revealing the grand realm of the firmament, where a shadow also looked in the direction of Jiang Li and called out his name.

"It's actually you!"

The person who triggered the heavenly killing mechanism appeared so quickly and turned out to be someone whom he used to manipulate with ease.

"Indeed, it's you."

Amidst the surprise, Gongsun Qi had a feeling it was unexpected yet reasonable.

An unprecedented talent, even demonic, who also studied his "Yin Talisman Scripture," even if only partially.

Is it him? Of course, it's him!

"You have made it." Gongsun Qi spoke slowly across the Miao Realm.

The chess piece arranged for acquiring the Divine Farmer's appearance had now reached such a state; the rapid changes in the world were truly impermanent, but also irritating.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li gazed at the giant god supporting the mountains, his face showing no surprise, "The legendary Giant Spirit Hu, who split Hua Mountain, truly possesses great strength that moves mountains. It's cause and effect that you are holding up this manifested Hua Mountain. So..."

The mournful sound in the atmosphere didn't cease, the rushing Calamity Cloud was again pushed away by the wind, and on that inverted mountain, another mountain, larger than Hua Mountain, was falling.

"What about this?"

Seemingly endless, the vast Primordial Qi stirred around Jiang Li, manifesting into solid radiance, with the vertical line on his forehead emitting Divine Light, projecting Divine Intent and Innate Qi toward the firmament.

"Boom!"

The two mountains collided, just like a comet striking the earth, heavily pressing down on the Immortal of Colossal Spirit's arms, with the ground cracking under his feet, and after stepping on the rock layers, his feet sank into the fissure.

After Hua Mountain, adding Song Mountain, the mountainous masses from his memory transformed into substance under the effect of Divine Skills, the hefty mountains crushing the rocky peaks, also pressing down with unparalleled strength.

"Bang!"

The armor on the arms of the Immortal of Colossal Spirit cracked open, revealing the bulging muscles inside, with veins popping out like dragons, filled with a sense of power.

This was not just the weight of the mountains but also the pressure from Jiang Li's own power, under that unparalleled force, even the Immortal of Colossal Spirit seemed unable to hold on.

"Moreover..."

The Eight Trigrams Array continued to operate the vast Primordial Qi, in the sky, another mountain was gradually taking shape, and the pressure began to surge again.

However, at this moment, thunderous roars shattered the sky, and before the mountain became substance, it shattered the mass, with lightning flashing across the sky, coming with swift speed, as the figures of Thunder God and Mother of Lightning appeared with the might of thunder.

"Enough!"

The Thunder God roared deeply, the thunder preempting his voice, striking directly at Jiang Li's body.

The Eight Trigrams also began to rotate at this moment, the Innate Eight Sceneries passing around him, one Thunder Map met the incoming thunder, easily absorbing it into itself and vanishing without a trace.

"Daring to invade our sect's sacred ground alone, it seems the Dinghu Sect is about to appoint a new elder."

Seeing his thunder neutralized, the Thunder God showed no sign of surprise, only speaking with a chill of murderous intent.

His thunder obviously couldn't trouble Jiang Li; if it had worked, he would have thought it strange. But this didn't mean Jiang Li could safely return after throwing down two mountains.

This place was currently a major stronghold of the Taiping Sect.

The Thunder God and Mother of Lightning tacitly positioned themselves to the left and right, with thunder and lightning intertwined, while in the distance, the Immortal of Colossal Spirit had already held up two mountains.
