Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1302 - 66: Heavenly Extreme Holy Light, Pangu’s Form (2)

When one's Realm reaches a certain height, their existence becomes the embodiment of the Dao, just like the Queen Mother of the West, and like Jiang Li at this moment.

Jiang Li now transformed into a figure standing tall to the heavens and earth. Although his physical body was no longer substantial, his Qi Mechanism shook the Star River, especially in his left eye, where a Great Sun was burning fiercely, emitting a radiance that illuminated the Ten Directions.

As for his right eye, it was tightly closed, as if blinded.

"Pangu..."

As soon as the Queen Mother of the West murmured, a grand voice resounded throughout the Star River.

"The Sun completes the origin of the heavens, the Moon completes the gathering of the heavens, the Stars complete the movement of the heavens, and the Celestial completes the world of the heavens."

The voice swept across, commanding the power of the Universe, engulfing Star Energy and the sun into its body, finally converging into the left eye.

A brilliance more dazzling than the All Heaven Divine Sha erupted from the left eye.

"Heavenly Extreme Holy Light."

The Universal Illumination shone through the Wuliang Space, causing the Tianhe projection to collapse and the black holes to be obliterated under the brilliance.

"Hum—"

Occupying thousands of miles, the array formation connecting the Heavenly Gang to the Canghai was also dismantled by the sudden brilliance, causing the Great Venerable and Karma Tathagata to retreat simultaneously.

"Cosmic Light."

The six dragons simultaneously retreated into the long river of time, into the crevice of time and space, yet the brilliance surged into the long river, influencing the illusory time as it passed. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Below, above the vast ocean, one island after another was engulfed by the brilliance, disappearing beneath its glow, the unparalleled might erasing everything.

And because time was interfered with, seventy-two islands irrevocably vanished within the brilliance.

At this moment, between heaven and earth, there was only endless light.

And at the center of that brilliance, a massive body loomed indistinctly, continuously growing, as if truly reaching the Sky Dome, treading upon the earth.

Retreat!

This thought appeared simultaneously in the minds of the Queen Mother of the West and the Great Venerable, as they traversed the Cosmic Light, evading the ever-expanding brilliance.

The battle of the East Sea reached its conclusion at this moment!

······

······

At the same time, in a space where immortal light shone brilliantly, and the clouds floated mysteriously.

The Great Heavenly Venerate stood with hands behind his back above the Yun Xiao, his gaze like a sword, pinned on the ever-changing light and shadow.

The light and shadow displayed the battle above the East Sea, obviously, the Great Heavenly Venerate had been observing this battle. But because the Daoist Lord was always watching from the Nine Provinces, it was difficult for the Great Heavenly Venerate to act.

If he acted, the Daoist Lord would certainly take action as well, with two Three Pure Ones appearing together.

Even though the Great Heavenly Venerate was extremely skilled in Daoist ways, and his strength was rapidly recovering for unknown reasons, he would still be blocked by the Daoist Lord.

That one had hidden deeply. Although his strength might not surpass the Great Heavenly Venerate, it could at least block him.

"Pangu... actually manifested Pangu's Form..."

The deeply scheming and immeasurable Great Heavenly Venerate's expression subtly changed, "Proving Dao with Power; has he proven Dao with power to the point of manifesting Pangu? Or has he obtained something from the Pangu Banner and Green Duckweed Sword..."

In some sense, the Three Pure Ones were like cockroaches; when you find one, it means there's already a nest nearby.

Since the Great Heavenly Venerate discovered the hidden card of Daode Tianzun, then the cards of Primordial and Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerate were not far off.

And now, he felt that the cards of these two Heavenly Venerates should be in Jiang Li.

If there were no corresponding channels, how could Jiang Li make such rapid progress in proving Dao with power, to the point of manifesting Pangu's Form?

The endless brilliance penetrated the spatial distance, causing even the Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes to ache, and the Drought Demon Ba behind him could no longer bear to look at the manifested light and shadow.

This brilliance held similarities to the mysteries of Great Sun Buddha Light.

The Drought Demon Ba pondered this and began to retreat to avoid being harmed in the Divine Intent by the increasingly radiant brilliance.

At that moment, a mighty surge swept in, and the Great Heavenly Venerate's body seemed to become immensely majestic, as if carrying all the heavens, with Thirty-Three Heavens appearing around him, divinities standing in various acupoints.

All gods as one, all heavens appear together, the Great Heavenly Venerate's momentum blocked the brilliance transmitted through space, shielding the Drought Demon Ba from its effects.

'The Great Heavenly Venerate has restored quite a bit of strength...' sensed this momentum, the Drought Demon Ba thought to himself.

At that precise moment when Jiang Li forced the Great Venerable and the Queen Mother of the West back, confirming the outcome of the East Sea battle, the Great Heavenly Venerate's energy also surged, nearing his peak state.

Above his head, the Sky Dome changed, sketching the outline of a gigantic face, identical to the Great Heavenly Venerate's current appearance.

At this time, the Great Heavenly Venerate further fused with Heaven, seemingly advancing his Promotion Ceremony another step.

But at this moment, the Great Heavenly Venerate was not pleased, his eyes were fixed on the increasingly massive Pangu's Form, with apprehension or hesitation in his gaze.

Until that brilliance gradually dimmed, and Pangu's Form became clearer...

Like dust stirred by the wind, Pangu's Form dimmed slowly like an illusory bubble, its fluctuations disappearing.

Left in place was a figure extremely small compared to Pangu's Form.

After the extreme brilliance, Jiang Li revealed his true form, standing calmly in the void sky, but with the Great Heavenly Venerate's eye power, he could still discern that Jiang Li's breathing was quite rapid, his Qi Mechanism fully restrained within, no longer possessing the previous universe-filling, sky-reaching, earth-striding momentum.

Pangu's Form was only fleeting, Jiang Li's manifestation of this form had exhausted all his strength.

Emperor Jiang, who was always known for his endurance, now felt a sense of powerlessness.

This made the Great Heavenly Venerate secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Li hadn't exaggerated to the point of embodying Pangu directly.

Having become a Heavenly Emperor after three thousand tribulations, even now the Great Heavenly Venerate felt a sense of relief.

'However... in this battle, he did not use the Three Pure Dao Artifacts; if he did, exhibiting the same power would not be impossible.' the Great Heavenly Venerate estimated in his heart.

If Jiang Li could maintain Pangu's Form, coupled with the Pangu Banner and Green Duckweed Sword, it would be a fight beyond compare.

Even though it was known that Pangu's Form was only fleeting, Jiang Li's exhibited strength could not be ignored.

'It seems, it will be up to me to act, to bring Tathagata back early.'

Thinking such, the Great Heavenly Venerate slowly raised his hands, pushing forward, opening space, forming a beam of light like a pathway, extending continuously into the void.

"What a pity."

The Great Heavenly Venerate sighed lightly: "Initially I intended to sit back and watch the tigers fight, but now I must enter the field early. The Emperor of the Jiang family, worthy of being the hidden card of the Three Pure Ones. In the current era, except for Xuan Du... even Xuan Du, cannot match your threat."

As for how great the threat is, given that the Great Heavenly Venerate dared to call Xuan Du by name, yet was reluctant to speak the name "Jiang Li," it reveals his apprehension.

However, the Great Heavenly Venerate's actions were noticed by the Drought Demon Ba behind.

'The Great Heavenly Venerate's strength recovery might be related to this battle.'

······

······

"I have sensed Buddha Light coming from the Void beyond,"

Jiang Li gradually calmed his Qi, looking at the vast sky, whispering: "Shakyamuni Tathagata is about to return early."

No matter that his brilliance illuminated the Ten Directions, isolating the present world from the void, it couldn't stop someone from deliberately guiding.

However, the Great Heavenly Venerate's connection through the void allowed Jiang Li to sense and notice his action.

'You are anxious, Great Heavenly Venerate, is it because of the strength I displayed?'

Jiang Li thought of this, smiling inwardly, 'It's not in vain that I deliberately revealed this card.'

'And your actions prove that you are indeed using the Promotion Ceremony to restore your strength.'

Contacting the instant the void was connected allowed Jiang Li to sense the Qi Mechanism of the Great Heavenly Venerate; this one was indeed much stronger than before.
