Taiyi Dao Fruit

The advantage of time was maximized by Gongsun Qi, whose arrangements over countless years had finally led him to this moment.

Decades ago, Earth Uncle's assassination attempt on the third rank of the Jiang family resulted in the loss of the Ochre Whip, and he was behind it.

Four years ago, the death of Jiang Tao, the former Family Head of the Jiang family, was by his very hands.

Afterward, he dealt with the Emperor who could have posed a threat to him, causing the Emperor to regain humanity but be abandoned by all, and finally sealed by the Great Venerable. One of the current Six Extremes was lost, further intensifying the turmoil of the situation.

It can be said that the Great Venerable and Gongsun Qi were indispensable for today's state of affairs.

Even more so, Gongsun Qi's contributions were slightly greater.

As all the clues connected into a line, when Jiang Li's doubts were answered, the revelation of a crucial corner of Gongsun Qi's mad past exerted an invisible pressure that even the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning, watching from a distance, could feel.

If everything was manipulated by Gongsun Qi, then naturally, the uprising of the Taiping Sect was also within his plans.

Everyone, whether the Four Gods of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning or Zhang Zhixuan, the Sect Hierarch, was a piece in Gongsun Qi's game.

This truth alone was suffocating for the two divinities to even contemplate.

And facing Lu Tianpeng, revealing these matters was Jiang Li...

"Heh."

He let out a laugh, "To talk more, would simply expose your powerlessness."

Was Lu Tianpeng powerless?

Of course not.

He was the fourth-rank Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, the incarnation of the Po Jun Star, specialized in slaughter, with Dao Fruit Perfection, and was adept in the Divine Skills of both the Ji Family and the Jiang family. He held three of the Military God's Five Weapons, and his true form was a supreme being.

Such strength could not possibly be deemed powerless.

But in front of Jiang Li, this was powerlessness.

Perhaps not entirely without the ability to resist, but after the clash, using Gongsun Qi's eyesight, it was clear that his incarnation was gradually fading amidst the fierce battle.

In terms of grade, Gongsun Qi was indeed above Jiang Li, but in the use of True Qi, mastery of the physical body, changes of Divine Intent, and insights of cultivation... on the whole, what could be described as the level of realm or cultivation, Gongsun Qi could not completely dominate in this comparison.

Jiang Li had once captured some of Gongsun Qi's insights and received gifts from the Awakened. Afterward, with his astounding wisdom, he integrated these insights and even pursued those supreme beings with the power of Heaven and the ability to calculate with the Eight Trigrams.

Later, he acquired the Eight-Nine Profound Skill and Divine Skills such as "Heavenly Eye" and "Body Sanctification" during his ascension. Although Jiang Li was still fourth-rank, his level of cultivation had already caught up with those third-rank strong people.

Otherwise, Jiang Li would not have been able to harshly teach Tianxuan, who had employed the third-rank Dao Fruit, making her suffer abdominal pains from his defiance.

Now, Lu Tianpeng was not in his true form, and even with the Military God's Five Weapons, he could not overpower Jiang Li in terms of strength, and with no advantage in realm or cultivation, naturally, it would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand.

However, combat is not solely about theoretical strength. With the myriad changes in a confrontation, Lu Tianpeng was not necessarily destined to lose, which is why he had not yet lost the will to fight, but inwardly sighed that Jiang Li had indeed reached a formidable level.

But him, being on the back foot, still subconsciously resorted to his other methods, exerting pressure through the exchange of words.

Alas, Jiang Li was impervious, and whether it was exposed secrets or the spread of Plague Qi, none could affect his mental state. Even if the plague might discourage his allies' offense, it was not enough to distract Jiang Li.

In fact, Jiang Li had even sensed that his opponent had begun to change tactics.

Because he, was running out of tricks.

Gongsun Qi had calculated so marvelously, using third-rank individuals as pawns, and it was shocking what he could do, but he had absolutely not anticipated Jiang Li's actions today.

Jiang Li's own Qi Shu was strong, suppressed by the Dao Fruit Divine Power and the Divine Farmer's Cauldron. Moreover, he was a clansman of the Feng family's honor and protected by the Great Venerable's Book of Luo River Map. Gongsun Qi could in no way divine him, much less anticipate Jiang Li's direct assault on the Yellow Dragon.

Today, indeed, Jiang Li had seized the initiative and until now, had not been deprived of it.

"It's time to end this."

A Thunder Light shot forth from the Heavenly Eye. Jiang Li held a Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword in one hand, while the other hand slowly rose, releasing a majestic Innate Qi from his palm. In an instant, a Primordial Qi Realm spanning a hundred miles around took shape.

Emperor's Ultimate World, through Yuanjing Conference.

A wider expanse than before was covered by emerging Essence Qi, which expelled the pervading Five Vile Qi from heaven and earth, and concentrated the killing intent. A massive phantom appeared outside his already towering stature.

As if the body of Jiang Li himself had expanded once more, an identical phantom was the transformation of unmatched Qi Mechanism, as the center of this realm of Essence Qi, instantly drawing in the vast Qi.

The Eight Sceneries also grew massive, swirling around Jiang Li, with the Shock Thunder Scenery becoming ever more prominent, invoking the lightning in the heavens.

"Emperor Yan's Blood, Beidou Burning Bone."

Lu Tianpeng made a decisive move, igniting Qi with blood, executing forbidden moves from the Jiang family, and even combining them with the Heavenly Pig Divine Spell.

At this moment, since his true form could not intervene, this incarnation had no choice but to employ "Emperor Yan's Blood", despite knowing it to be a forbidden move.

A Red Crystal hue suffused his body, his hair blazed like fire, wildly fluttering, and a pair of red phantom horns emerged on his forehead, manifesting Lu Tianpeng's Divine Farmer's appearance. Innate Eight Qi once again formed an eight-colored canopy above his head.

Meanwhile, the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning sensed the horrific force gathering, turning the lands within five hundred miles into an alien landscape, with an omnipresent Invisible Power repelling them both.
