Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1297 - 63: Third Rank Is Inferior to a Dog, the Queen Mother of the West Revives

"Alas—"

Facing the Ice-cold gaze of the Immortal Queen, Xiao Tian sighed softly, recalling his master's past actions, and began to cut, "Don't look at me like that, I fear the master might misunderstand."

As a dog of three... four... or was it five families?

Anyway, as a dog of the X family, Xiao Tian possessed rich cutting experience, and due to Jiang Li's teachings, he was well-versed in psychological tactics.

Sure enough, with just one word, this dog made the Immortal Queen's hair dance wildly, sealing the space with extreme cold.

"Good!"

Every word the Immortal Queen uttered seemed frozen, "Alright! I've fallen so low now that even a dog dares to insult me!"

Regardless of whether this dog was raised by her own family, now the Immortal Queen just wants to take Xiao Tian's life.

The Immortal Queen was proud by nature, and wouldn't resort to weak tactics like sparing a dog due to past favors; she already had the idea of killing Xiao Tian, the betraying dog, and now Xiao Tian's provocation only fueled her determination to sever Xiao Tian's dog head.

Within the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, it was already dark, with everything in sight appearing muddy yellow; at this moment it darkened abruptly, as if all the light was swallowed up, transforming into a pitch-black sword light, cutting the space, killing all vitality.

Where it passed, the space sliced apart, revealing utter decay, as if even the space itself had died.

Compared to before, the Immortal Queen now clearly grasped the essence of "Heavenly Severity."

However—

Xiao Tian was no longer the timid dog of the past.

Facing the slicing dark sword light, the fur on Xiao Tian's neck bristled, the sense of danger making its fur stand on end, immediately it went all out.

"Woof! Flame Calamity Burns the Universe."

The high temperature akin to molten gold appeared, then Xiao Tian roared, blazing flames scorching the sky, sweeping out to meet "Heavenly Severity" head-on.

"Boom—"

The confrontation between yin and yang brought the most violent repercussions, the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation shook intensely, layers of space pierced by the overflowing blade light; in a flash, numerous rifts were torn open.

Yet the flame flow continued forward, forcibly melting through the qi blade.

In the direct confrontation, Xiao Tian held the upper hand.

Though it was nowhere near the Supreme Realm, and even in terms of Daoist prowess it was inferior to Gongsun Qingyue, its strength derived from Jiang Li filled the gap in Realm with exceptionally potent quality, matching the destructive power of a Supreme.

To give an example, it's akin to the Former Emperor among the six past Supremes.

The Former Emperor, though he possessed the will of Heaven and the cultivation insights from generations of Emperors, was indeed in the Supreme Realm; his fighting style was purely overpowering all with force.

Now, Xiao Tian's moves reminded the Immortal Queen, who had witnessed the Former Emperor fight, of the overpowering style.

By Realm, it's certainly not close to the Former Emperor, but speaking solely on strength, Xiao Tian now exceeds the Former Emperor, akin to a simian version of the Former Emperor.

Facing a Supreme, the outcome is uncertain, but below the Supreme—no matter how strong you are, I'm stronger.

The flame flow ravages, breaking the ice, heading directly for the Immortal Queen.

Xiao Tian let out a long howl, stirring up fierce winds.

It harnessed the Dao Fruit of Mountain Dog, Huo Dou, and Sky Dog, mastering the Qi of Wind, Fire, and Soldier of Three Disasters, excelling in speed. Although the highest of these Dao Fruit is merely fifth-rank, lacking true transcendence, under the support of immense strength, they achieve overwhelming force.

What's more, there's the Three Calamities Technique Jiang Li specifically crafted for Xiao Tian.

"Wind Calamity Heaven Pass."

Fierce winds surged, intertwining with thunder, and collided with the flame flow; wind, fire, and thunder twisted into a whirlpool dragon xuán, soaring skyward, aiming to engulf the Immortal Queen.

Pursuing victory without any regard for past fidelity, for a dog's true nature is loyalty, Xiao Tian's heart holds only one sun, Emperor Jiang.

The surging Disaster Qi shook the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation thoroughly, causing the Xuan Liu below to begin steaming, the True Water on Xuanwu to disperse into black mist.

"How can the power be this strong?!"

Xuanwu, with all-knowing Spiritual Sense, additionally benefiting from the Great Venerable's teachings, had profound Yi Dao accomplishments, instantly sensed the threat.

This level of destructiveness, it's only witnessed under a Supreme's hand.

Which means—this dog is a Supreme?

The harsh reality that a third grade is inferior to a dog nearly made Xuanwu King, such an old veteran, slip in Mental State, almost forgetting to block the flame flow.

As for the Immortal Queen... able to maintain outward composure, it was because the Immortal Queen wouldn't lose dignity, not because she was free from inner turmoil.

Elegant and precise women are ruthless—they'd rather die than lose their dignity.

Fortunately, the Immortal Queen and Xuanwu King were no ordinary individuals, not truly intimidated, still remembering this was a life-and-death moment.

"Nine Palace Sky."

A torrent of darkness surged skyward, forming nine water columns plunging into the flame flow.

"Nine Heavens Gathering Immortals, Xihua's Magical Technique."

The Plain Cloud Realm Flag manifested, controlled by the Immortal Queen to transform into dense clouds, seeming to open up a realm amidst the clouds, allowing the Immortal Queen to escape into another world.

Then, the vortex enveloped.

Wind, fire, and thunder, the three extreem powers combined; the Nine Palaces Formation formed by Primeval Heavy Water and Xuanming True Water couldn't withstand even a moment, forcibly broken, the layers of Cloud Realm pierced through, clouds completely dissolving into nothingness.

"Boom—"

Space shattered into a vast cavity, with violent wind and fire accompanied by thunderclaps, shattering everything around.

In not even a moment's time, the invading Xuan Liu within the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation was annihilated, a massive Xuan Snake entwined with Dragon Turtle, enveloped in fierce flame flow, fled in distress from the cavity, leaving a trail of heavy afterimages from all four turtle legs.
