Taiyi Dao Fruit

The Oath of Heaven couldn't protect Jiang Li, for Yellow Heaven was secretly severing his karma.

The unspoken rules among those of the third grade were a matter for later, and these rules, for King Shu, whose Dao Fruit was difficult to bring to Perfection, were not much of an issue. Because his plans had been disrupted, for King Shu to achieve Perfection in his Dao Fruit was as hard as ascending to heaven; as long as he was willing to reveal some of his secrets, it would be enough to ensure his safety from a collective strike by those of the third grade.

If that was so, then what was there to hesitate about?

A Qi Mechanism as heavy as the earth filled the map of Liangzhou Province behind him, though it hovered in mid-air, one could still feel the weight of the land, and the earthy yellow scales shimmered in and out of visibility on King Shu's hands.

Opposite him, Jiang Li said in a clear voice, "Senior sister, beat the drum to cheer me on."

On the mountains behind, Gongsun Qing Yue clenched the Big Hammer, channeling all her strength as she struck the Kui Drum.

"Boom!"

The Kui Drum sounded, Heavenly Thunder shook, resonating across eight hundred miles, inducing changes in the Heavenly Phenomena, merging with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was the best at utilizing the forces of Heaven and Earth, he merged with them, his Mysterious Skill transformed, it was not just about might, but also about divinity, Qi, and body.

The Eight-Nine Profound Skill reached the state of Unity, in this era after the End of Dharma, Jiang Li had achieved true Unity of Heaven and Man.

The Yin Yang Yoke combined into various divinations, evolving into the Innate Eight Sceneries, Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountains, and Marshes, all resonating with Jiang Li.

The ferocious momentum of the collision made even the Primordial Lord Rain Master and the locust god and others frown in unison, sensing that it was not good to intervene. If they made a move, they feared they would suffer from being crushed by the momentum of both sides, caught in the middle.

"One Qi Turns into Three Emperors."

Jiang Li uttered five words, the three forms behind him simultaneously invoking Heaven and Earth's power, a peculiar change was occurring.

Heaven and Earth seemed to be shifting, a majestic spiritual mechanism emerged, giving birth to a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, rapidly changing the surrounding environment.

And the enormous mass was forming an extreme pressure; in just a blink of an eye, King Shu could feel how bad the result of such a change would be.

"Huff—"

He exhaled deeply, a white Qi Arrow shot from his mouth, within his body's acupoints, talismans flickered, forming a dragon shape inside. Then, King Shu stepped into the air, shaking the heavens, his hand stretched out in a Dragon Claw gesture, covered with Dragon Scales, which suddenly expanded a thousandfold.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Claw grasped into the forming domain of Essence Qi, scattering the stream of Qi, a tremendous power crushing down like a blanket from above.

A blow similar to the previous one, but its power could hardly be compared.

Jiang Li had previously used a move named "Spring and Autumn Annals" to break it, but now he needed to combine all his strength to contend with it.

"Wind Xi, Breaking Earth."

One of the three split figures immediately stepped forward, his form dispersing, turning into a massive tornado, crashing against the Dragon Claw.

"Bang!"

The storm shook the Dragon Claw, with a myriad of Wind Blades cutting on the Dragon Scales, the impact of forces brought the most direct manifestation, the whole sky filled with chaotic currents.

"Roar!"

King Shu let out a Dragon Roar, almost without holding anything back, instantaneously transforming his whole body into a Yellow Dragon, his Dragon Claw shattered the storm.

But at the same time, two other figures rose into the air, transforming into moves.

"Water·Tidal Wave."

"Fire, Burn the Wilderness."

Water and Fire erupted together, like dragons soaring in the sky, combined with the preceding storm, and the Kui Drum vibrating with Thunder Sound, Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder arrived at once, Jiang Li's true form also making a move simultaneously.

"Mountain Ghost God Shock."

Icy, majestic, towering, upright, and treacherous, five mountains with their unique characteristics emerged in mid-air, Jiang Li himself standing atop the central Song Mountain, riding the mountain upwards, the Five Mountains simultaneously crashing into the Yellow Dragon in the sky.

The Qi of the mountains filled the surroundings, and as the Five Mountains pushed towards the center together, even the light became distorted before this force, darkness spreading in the sky.

Looking down from above, it appeared like a gigantic maw swallowing the sky, the Five Mountains being the sharp teeth, together biting towards the Yellow Dragon.

Facing a third grade, even one with flawed foundations, Jiang Li would not make a move unless necessary, and once he did, it was with full force, unleashing four moves of Wind, Fire, Water, and Mountain in succession, even with the aid of the Kui Drum.

The previous concessions and observations served as a foundation for his own strike.

In this moment, King Shu finally recognized the strength of Jiang Li, which truly had the capability to threaten him, the Yellow Dragon glaring with its eyes wide open, letting out a thunderous roar.

"Cauldron Suppressing the Nine Provinces."

The shadow of the Liangzhou Cauldron appeared above the map of the region, suppressing space, making it as solid as refined steel, the Five Mountains simultaneously crashed into the hardened space, and in an instant—

"Boom!"

The heavens trembled, the Five Mountains cracked, the solidified space was broken into a huge gap, countless fragments falling, Primordial Qi rushing in.

Wind, Water, and Fire, three tornadoes simultaneously hit the Yellow Dragon, with Jiang Li's incarnations also manifesting inside.

"Roar! Back off!"

The Yellow Dragon used its Dragon Scales to fend off the three energies, its body swaying, instantly shrinking to just over two zhang in length, with a Divine Dragon's tail swipe to fend off an attacking figure from behind, and splitting its Dragon Claw to forcefully withstand the combined assault from the left and right sides.

He moved his dragon form with moves, not showing the slightest delay, and even perfectly demonstrated the ferocity and overbearing nature of the dragon body.

"True Dragon Nine Forms."

The Yellow Dragon's claws erupted with a shocking force, scattering water and fire, raising its head and swinging its tail, and its body swelled tenfold to meet the onslaught of the overwhelming evil Qi.

Jiang Li stood atop the mountain peak, clad in armor, performing the technique "Fatian Xiangdi," and the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, carrying a hollow hum, aimed directly at the dragon's head.

The Yellow Dragon, however, varied its size at will, responding in a timely manner. Its claws struck the earth to deflect the sharp blade, it soared through the skies, and reached for the Heavenly Spirit.

The supreme force that dominated the world pressed down like the most powerful shackles between heaven and earth. The imposing pressure of Yu King's Dao Fruit emanated with that claw, daunting Jiang Li's Primordial Spirit, while the claw imprint directly clutched one of the Six Yang Leaders.

Yet Jiang Li was not at all intimidated by the oppressive force; his heart remained free and at ease, overturning his palm towards the sky and colliding with the dragon claw.

The powerful force that seemed to collapse the heavens pressed down on his palm, his arm bones making a heavy noise, his flesh appearing unable to withstand the strength and seemingly on the verge of collapse. Jiang Li controlled the Cultivation Technique, combined the powers of the Three Tombs, executed the changes of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, both yielding and resisting, enduring the Suppression while simultaneously countering.

"Thunder·Heaven and Earth Shattering."

"Boom!"

The long-brewing thunder finally unleashed, thousands of thunders roared in unison, and fierce thunderbolts burst forth from Jiang Li's hands.

The images of the Thunder God and Lightning Mother appeared around his palm. Jiang Li absorbed the Dao Fruit's intent to strengthen himself, with thunder in his palm, blasting the dragon claw and erupting in mournful Blood Light.

The dragon claw of King Shu was ultimately shattered.

At the same time, countless Thunder Balls bombarded the Yellow Dragon's body, producing trails of green smoke.

"Soil Casting Body, Thick Earth Carries Things."

The Yellow Dragon channeled its Divine Skills, circulating the thick earthly energies throughout its body, forcibly withstanding the Thunder Balls. It furiously attacked Jiang Li's true form.

"Clang!"

The Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword collided horizontally with the descending dragon arm, Jiang Li's body also boiling with intense Evil Qi, All Heaven Divine Sha transforming into trails of Blood Light with the movement of the blades, simultaneously attacking with wind, fire, water, three forms striking together.

Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder attacked together, fighting the Yellow Dragon, Five Mountains shocked, colliding with the Liangzhou Cauldron suppressing Liangzhou Province.

Power, True Qi, and Divine Intent, all resonated in an instant, colliding with everything.

Whoosh—

The firmament collapsed, the Five Mountains crashed down, various types of Vigorous Qi and Essence Qi mixed into a torrent of destruction, suddenly expanding.

"Bang!"

From the collapsed space, two figures were simultaneously ejected, breaking through the torrent and scattering vivid blood.

They were injured······

"It's two of them!" the locust god's gaze sharpened.

Both parties were injured; the third-grade King Shu actually ended up in a mutual defeat with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, who had never been seriously injured, finally sustained an injury.

Two pieces of information surfaced in locust god's mind as he suddenly rode the blood cloud forward.

Both the injured Jiang Li and King Shu retreated in opposite directions, Jiang Li unfortunately retreating towards the locust god, while King Shu the opposite.

The locust god decisively made his move, ready to kick them while they were down, while the Yellow Dragon twisted in the air, its dragon body coiled around the mountain peak behind, overlooking the peak, its claw reached out for Gongsun Qingyue, who was still beating the drum.

If it weren't for Gongsun Qingyue using the Ji Family's Secret Technique to beat the drum, bolstering Jiang Li's power, the adversary's momentum would have been reduced by at least twenty percent, so—

"Assisting the young Jiang family scion, my niece, you really make it hard for me to refrain from being ruthless."

The sound of the Dragon Roar clearly echoed, unmistakably reaching Jiang Li's ears, attacking his spirit, while the dragon claw descended, its shadow covering the Kui Drum and Gongsun Qingyue.

His strike was meant for Gongsun Qingyue, but his target was still Jiang Li.

However—

"Is that so?"

Gongsun Qingyue looked up and spoke with Jiang Li's voice.

Who told you that "One Qi Turns into Three Emperors" meant splitting into three incarnations?

It was me.

Jiang Li had repeatedly mentioned the name "One Qi Turns into Three Emperors" precisely to let King Shu and the others subconsciously form an impression.

A wrong impression.

The "One Qi to Three Pure Ones" of the Daode Sect was too famous, so that when they heard a similar name, they unintentionally fell into a misconception. Moreover, the battle was so fierce that King Shu had no time to think further.

And so this scene unfolded.

In the moment of looking up, the Life Destruction Spear and Slaughter Spear were simultaneously executed, and a faint voice echoed: "King Shu, do you still remember the taste of the All Heaven Divine Sha?"
