Taiyi Dao Fruit

They both suddenly realized that if they had made the first move earlier, they likely wouldn't have lasted a hundred moves.

Jiang Li's progress in strength was so great, it had reached a qualitative leap, terrifying to the extreme.

"Boom!"

The wind howled, and lightning flashed incessantly in the sky.

Surrounding Luu Tianpeng, the Innate Eight Qi surged from the sea of Qi within his body, forming a splendid canopy above his head. As it rotated, the lightning dazzled, and when the Eight Qi transmuted into thunder, it bore the might to shatter all things.

On the other hand, Jiang Li had become one with heaven and earth, the Five Turbid Evil World unable to hinder this fusion. Despite the world's decay, he did not falter but resisted, contending against the very essence of heaven and earth itself.

This mighty killing intent was thusly set in motion. Under the natural, extremely cruel killing intent of the world, the destructive lightning also paled by three parts.

Gongsun Qi prided himself on having the foremost understanding of the Heavenly Dao, yet even he could not merge with the Five Turbid Evil World. Zhang Daoyi, who cultivated the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing True Technique, could only refine his spiritual mechanism and dared not blend with the Five Turbid Evil World, but Jiang Li had achieved it.

Circulation of Six Emptiness, command of all things; I am one with the heavens and the earth, all things are born with me.

Under such an overwhelming force, Luu Tianpeng abruptly realized that he had fallen into a disadvantage.

"Heavenly Pig, Heavenly Pig, Nine Elements Evil Child."

He decided to make a move, reciting the "Heavenly Pig Divine Spell." With his current strength, he clearly did not need to rely on spoken spells, but he still chanted the divine spell to invoke the might of the Thunder Law.

At the same time, with the divine ability of the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy [Thunder Law Mechanism] commanding thunder and lightning, electric light gleamed on his arms. Raising his hand, thunder, akin to dragons and snakes, coiled around a rugged and ancient great bow.

The Heavenly Shooting Bow!

One of the Military God's Five Weapons was drawn at the first moment; Luu Tianpeng pulled the bow to its full crescent, thunder turning into arrows, Divine Evil coiling around it, and suddenly let go.

The bowstring snapped like thunder, and the Divine Evil thunder arrow tore through space, the formidable aura taking on a dragon's form, rushing forth with fangs bared and claws unleashed.

Though it didn't match the arrow that had once pierced the sky and wounded Heaven, it was far from ordinary. The Thunder God and Mother of Lightning both sensed a lethal threat in this arrow.

If they were struck by this arrow, they would die!

"Emperor's Ultimate World, Yiyuan Jinghui."

As the formidable aura took on the form of a dragon and arrived instantly, it broke into a brand new world. Essence Qi surged like a vast sea, suddenly rising to form a great wave that collided with the dragon of Evil Qi.

"Boom!"

The wave burst forth, colliding with the Evil Qi, and a giant hand reached out, gripping the arrow aimed at the sky. The unrelentingly surging Primordial Qi pressed down and suddenly—

"Boom!"

The thunder arrow exploded, countless streaks of lightning dancing, along with the flow of Divine Evil, but they couldn't overcome the nearly infinite Essence Qi touching Jiang Li.

Strong!

Unquestionably strong!

Whether it was the reversal-of-heaven-and-earth "Yiyuan Jinghui," or the power that crushed the Evil Qi arrow, both revealed the immense strength Jiang Li now possessed.

Luu Tianpeng's expression grew solemn, revealing the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy's great wrath. As the canopy revolved, Innate Qi suddenly surged into the mountain beneath his feet.

"Hidden Abyss."

The Jiang family's Qi Tomb technique was executed, not as a defense, as Jiang Li had seen before, but to shake the mountain itself, using the Innate Qi to move mountains and rivers. The mountain fractured, and with Luu Tianpeng's body lifting and a kick, the mountain body directly charged towards Jiang Li.

Mountain and Earth Qi melded into the mountain, which collided with the essence Qi domain, churning like tumultuous waves.

"Wind Xi, Breaking Earth."

Jiang Li, without lifting his eyes, slightly raised his hand, stood steadfast atop the peak, unmoving. The Gang Wind turned into a tornado, slicing the mountain with a thousand cutting blades and endless wind blades—

"Boom!"

The mountain shattered, the colossal size turning to countless rocks in an instant.

But at the same time, thunderous noise cleaved the air, and behind the shattered mountain, pitch-black Evil Qi, carrying Yin Thunder, rushed forward. Luu Tianpeng had seized the opportunity to strike. His long spear, leading Divine Evil, seemed superfluous on the surface, but Jiang Li could sense its intrinsic horror, akin to his own Godslayer Spear.

It was the Military God's Five Weapons' Life-breaking Spear.

The All Heaven Divine Sha annihilated everything, the supporting Yin Thunder broke through the Essence Qi waves, and the black lightning, countless in number, converged to a single point, spear tip piercing with all the cold severity condensed.

A vertical mark on Jiang Li's brow circulated with brilliance, his Heavenly Eye capturing the trajectory. The swiftly lethal strike was clear as day in his vision. His right hand made a grasping motion, and blade light emerged. A Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword greeted the spear tip enveloped in Yin Thunder and Divine Evil.

"Ding!"

Like the tip of a needle against a stalk of wheat, the edge of a blade clashing with the point of a spear, the highly condensed Yin Thunder and Divine Evil erupted, and the blood-red All Heaven Divine Sha also surged forth from the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword.

In an instant, a black dot appeared at the point of collision and then exploded violently, scattering across Heaven and Earth.

Life faded, Essence Qi vanished, air was no more, rocks fragmented, mountains disappeared; all that was tangible and intangible was extinguished in the Divine Evil.

The foundation of the All Heaven Divine Sha, created by Warlord Chi You, was still "Qi Tomb," but unlike the "Qi Tomb's" Yiqi Produces Ten Thousand Qi, the All Heaven Divine Sha was One Sha Annihilates Ten Thousand Phenomena—there was nothing in the Innate Eight Qi that could not be destroyed.

This was the most extreme and terrifying path of destruction.

At this moment, the Divine Evil burst forth, annihilating everything. The mountain peak beneath their feet didn't last a moment, even light was obliterated, leaving only the silhouettes of those who wielded the Five Weapons. In the darkness, a glint of sharpness appeared behind Jiang Li, silent and without warning, as the Evil Qi suddenly manifested, striking with assassination intent.

The Military God's Five Weapons! Once again, the Military God's Five Weapons.

Only one of the Five Weapons had the ability to strike in an assassination amidst the burst of Divine Evil.

The silent, deadly sharpness approaching from behind was about to pierce Jiang Li's back when suddenly a cloak appeared, unfurling like a curtain with its edges seeming to merge into the sky, wrapping and reversing the firmament. Countless Yin Yang Yokes rolled with the cloak, entangling the sharpness and revealing its True Form.

The Heavenly Eye and the Heavenly Mirror Fragment harmonized and gazed down from the high heavens, bringing a bronze battle spear into view.

"A Slaughter Spear?" thought Jiang Li.

The Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword spun rapidly, the Gang Wind re-emerged, and innumerable Wind Blades strangled towards Luu Tianpeng's body.

But he did not retreat. Instead, crimson armor appeared around him, enduring the slicing of the Wind Blades—only to be met by a sudden surge of raging waves.

Water Xi, Tidal Wave.

One of the Eight Sceneries manifested directly as a vast tidal wave, as the vast Essence Qi resurfaced and transformed into surging breakers that pummeled down with the force of millions jun, forcibly breaking the Divine Evil and striking upon Luu Tianpeng, whipping up heaps of snow.

"Ha!"

Luu Tianpeng, struck by the giant wave, remained unmoved, issuing a loud shout as his figure swelled in size, with the waves against him as unshakeable as mountains, immovable. The Life-breaking Spear, enlarged to the same proportion, crashed down like an inverted pillar.

Seeing this, Jiang Li's figure transformed abruptly as well. He exhibited Fatian Xiangdi and grew to the size of dozens of zhang tall. A suit of Silver Armor appeared on him, and the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword was held across, blocking the Life-breaking Spear. The All Heaven Divine Sha from both sides collided, and the Innate Qi burst forth simultaneously.

"Boom!"

The cloak fluttered, shaking off the Slaughter Spear; Qi Force roared, blasting away the Life-breaking Spear. The overwhelming strength left Luu Tianpeng's tiger's mouth shattered, with blood gushing from his gigantic palm like a stream.

After executing Fatian Xiangdi, Luu Tianpeng was startled to find that Jiang Li's strength now completely overshadowed his own.

The Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, wielded as naturally as an arm, its gleaming edge accompanied by the blood-red Divine Evil, surged forth after repelling the Life-breaking Spear. Below, the vast Qi Mechanism attached, massive as the Earth; above, it inverted Heaven. The might and sharpness had not even neared, yet they caused an icy chill in Luu Tianpeng's waist and abdomen.

"Clang!"

In the critical moment, the cast-away Slaughter Spear emerged from Luu Tianpeng's waist, striking the side of the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword and forcibly parrying the attack. At the same time, Luu Tianpeng revealed himself with four heads and eight arms, holding all of the Military God's Five Weapons in his hands.

But at the same moment, Jiang Li's Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword arrived again.

The killing intent between Heaven and Earth was fully triggered, with vast Essence Qi continuously emerging, and the Heavenly Phenomenon drastically changing with the offensive.

······

······

At the same time, in Ba County, Liangzhou Province.

The howling wind came from the northwest, battering open a northward-facing window in a tall building. The affiliated son-in-law, who was reporting his recent situation to the Princess in a letter, looked up at the sound, and all he saw was an engulfing darkness.

From the northwest, the Calamity Cloud rolled in like a tide, heading east. With Feng Manlou's eye power, he could even see lightning flickering within the dark clouds, and the violent Qi Mechanism roared with the wind.

"The northwest... the Taiping Sect!"

Feng Manlou's eyes reflected like mirrors, suddenly revealing the images of two figures fiercely battling.

"Jiang Li!"

He sprang to his feet, flipping over the desk without even giving a second thought to the freshly written letter, and briskly walked out to the balcony, loudly declaring, "Gather the troops, we march west immediately."

"Begin the battle!"

To wage war against the Taiping Sect!

At such an abrupt moment, at a time that was seemingly not quite right.

But it was also the best opportunity.
