Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1330 - 87: You Can’t Beat Me

The sky dome, already displaying immortal light, reversed at Jiang Li's command, and the spiritual mechanism was forcibly suppressed once again.

What shocked the Great Venerable even more was that this time, the reversal of time wasn't solely due to Jiang Li's 'Emperor Emerges from Zhen'.

'Emperor Emerges from Zhen' emphasizes great strength creating miracles. If time is likened to a river, the Cosmic Light Divine Ability is like wind on the river, controlling the Six Dharma with wind power.

And 'Emperor Emerges from Zhen' is like using a mountain to fill the river and then pushing the mountain, forcibly causing the river to flow backwards.

Yet now, Feng Manlou is using the situation to his advantage, not merely relying on his own power, but catalyzing the spiritual mechanism of Heaven and Earth. Trying to use a "mountain" to push the current "water" is not a simple matter.

Even for Jiang Li, it is not an easy task.

Therefore, Jiang Li did not act recklessly, using 'Emperor Emerges from Zhen' to command the heavens while intervening in time through an unknown method, the combination causing time to reverse, yet Jiang Li himself showed no sign of strain.

'The last time we clashed over the East Sea, he only relied on supreme power to influence the Cosmic Light, but now... how has he achieved this?'

The Great Venerable's Divine Thought fluctuated intensely, revealing his disbelief.

If Jiang Li had gleaned insight into the Cosmic Light Divine Ability through a clash with him, that would still be acceptable.

Although the Great Venerable didn't know how many Dao Fruit Divine Powers Emperor Jiang possessed, he was sure Jiang Li had obtained some portion of his family's wisdom through the Green Emperor Dao Fruit.

However, the current fact was that Jiang Li had penetrated the Cosmic Light without having clashed with him.

This forced the Great Venerable to suspect whether Jiang Li had obtained some opportunity elsewhere, thus advancing to this level.

For a moment, the Great Venerable's Divine Thoughts were in turmoil, but this did not affect the changing situation.

In front of the Emperor's throne, a figure reverses time with one hand, while the other gently raises, the Heavenly Mirror permeates space, merging with the sunlight to charge the location of the Great Heavenly Venerate.

······

······

Within the mystical space shrouded by immortal light, a fissure slowly appears.

Initially like a giant vertical eye, it then opens and expands into a portal shape, from which three figures emerge.

Jiang Li is in the center, flanked by Daoist Lord and Karma Tathagata.

Karma Tathagata, clad in black robes, flickers between reality and illusion, with a faint devil thought forming a dark reverse 'Wan' symbol, circling his form.

Daoist Lord appears as a middle-aged Daoist, holding a silver horsetail whisk, with Dao Qi and immortal light surging gently around him, unremarkable yet seemingly endless, concealing profound Dao mysteries.

In the center, Jiang Li is adorned in golden attire, with a Great Sun subtly visible behind him.

"Great Heavenly Venerate, I have arrived."

Jiang Li's voice resonates through the heavens, and in the distance, in front of the Heavenly Palace, brilliance swirls, with powerful presences emerging one after another.

Great Heavenly Venerate, The Queen Mother of the West, Shakyamuni Tathagata, Medicine Buddha, Great Venerable, the mighty ones appear together, their numbers surpassing those on Jiang Li's side.

Among the Buddhist sect, the two Tathagatas, Shakyamuni Tathagata has fully recovered, and Medicine Buddha has also reshaped the Golden Body, no longer appearing as a Dharma Manifestation. Although The Queen Mother of the West left no backhand before her demise, due to several plans, first using the Creation Whip by the Great Venerable, then allowing the Immortal Queen to promote to the Second Grade to fulfill her immortal body, has now completely recuperated as well.

As for the Great Heavenly Venerate, he is even more impressive, encompassing the Universe, with a body resembling that of a Heavenly Monarch, opening Heaven within yet surpassing the Heavenly Monarch himself.

He has achieved the realm the Heavenly Monarch seeks earnestly, and is even close to promoting to the First Grade.

The Spiritual Mechanism Recovery of Heaven and Earth, the rise of Great Zhou's Qi Fortune has benefited both Jiang Li and the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Even Jiang Li's action led to Great Zhou's Qi Fortune rising tremendously, indirectly benefitting the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Great Zhou is close to the mainstream of Heaven and Earth, the completion of the Great Heavenly Venerate's Promotion Ceremony is increasingly near.

"You've finally come, Jiang Li."

Great Heavenly Venerate stands with his hands behind, no longer displaying previous anger, his demeanor majestic, reinstating the presence of a former master of the Three Realms, "For a woman, knowing it's a trap yet you still step in, Jiang Li, I overestimated you somewhat."

As the two sides meet, verbal sparring is customary.

Although theoretically, none present has a weak mind, and words of attack are mostly ineffective, but you never know, it might work.

Besides, meeting immediately for a fight would only appear hasty.

Therefore, regardless of anything, verbal sparring is necessary.

Luckily, Jiang Li shared the same thought.

"Well said, but you can't defeat me."

Jiang Li said calmly, "Great Heavenly Venerate, the weak should behave like the weak, verbal advantages cannot compensate for the gap in strength."

On hearing this, Great Heavenly Venerate's expression did not change, he chuckled softly, "Earlier I was slightly inferior, but now that may not be the case."

After that battle, though Great Heavenly Venerate abandoned the Green Duckweed Sword and did not acquire any of the Three Pure Dao Artifacts, it allowed him to focus more on mastering Heaven. On top of advancing the Promotion Ceremony, his strength continuously restored.

This encompassing universe phenomenon is the evident proof.

The manifestation of his Dao is completely apparent in his body now.

However—

"You still can't defeat me." Jiang Li said placidly.

In the end, the truth is the most hurtful. If Great Heavenly Venerate had been able to defeat Jiang Li, why would he go through so much arrangement, not directly challenge Jiang Li, seize Jiang Li's throne, and expedite his Promotion Ceremony?

After two consecutive piercing remarks, even if Great Heavenly Venerate maintained depth, he now revealed a cold expression.

The effect of verbal sparring is thus demonstrated.

Jiang Li's risking body peril appeared irrational to some, but it couldn't help that Jiang Li is strong enough. As long as the strength is there, any trap can be flattened.

Despite all Great Heavenly Venerate's words, Jiang Li only needs to say "you can't beat me," to nullify his offensive completely.

In the end, having the bigger fist is the hard truth.

Moreover, although the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is odd, as long as within twenty-one days, it won't threaten life; Great Heavenly Venerate cannot use it to blackmail Jiang Li.

Thus, whether or not Great Heavenly Venerate is angry, this verbal sparring session must conclude.

As coldness appeared on Great Heavenly Venerate's face, the world quietly turned somber, a powerful Heavenly Might gradually manifested.

"Arrogant."

Great Heavenly Venerate coldly spoke, "If you are so confident, dare to face me one-on-one, to settle high and low?"

As he spoke, his icy gaze fell on Daoist Lord and Karma Tathagata.

Previously these two had assisted Jiang Li, the three acting like bandits tracing the causality line right at the door, almost never experienced such humiliation by the Great Heavenly Venerate.

If only Jiang Li, that wouldn't be enough to threaten Great Heavenly Venerate.

Apparently restored to his peak condition, Great Heavenly Venerate seemed viable.

Of course, also mind the possibility that Great Heavenly Venerate was compelled, as he was pressured by three cunning foes to take the lead. Such matters naturally wouldn't appear publicly, Great Heavenly Venerate is also a dignified individual.

True or false, only Great Heavenly Venerate knows.

"Come,"

Great Heavenly Venerate laid one hand behind his back, the other raised lightly, "If you can defeat me, the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is yours."

The setup of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is simple, seemingly anyone knowing the steps can perform curse killing, but without the arrow book, no matter how well set up, it's merely illusory.

Without the arrow book, Great Heavenly Venerate's side cannot again execute curse killing, and must guard against Jiang Li using the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.

This Jiang Li is aware of, having insights into Great Heavenly Venerate's causality.

"If Great Heavenly Venerate seeks death, how can I fail to gratify?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly, showing no sign of retreat, nor did the mention of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book prompt urgency, he remained composed throughout.

He stepped forward, the sky dome underwent a change, the previous gloom pierced by the rising Sun Wheel.

In the Heaven created by Great Heavenly Venerate, Jiang Li forcibly claimed part of the space, imbuing it with his will.

On the opposite side, the Thirty-Three Heavens manifested one by one, with the Immortal Gods positioned, facing the Great Sun from afar.
