Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1331 - 88: Tripod of the Nine Provinces

One side is the Thirty-Three Heavens, the endpoint of Yang, with two anomalies each unfolding their own scenes, almost manifesting into reality.

But in an instant, the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Sun Wheel suddenly vanished.

Jiang Li and the Great Heavenly Venerate simultaneously made their move.

The distance in space was eliminated, a moment ago they were confronting each other from afar, and the next instant, their palms touched.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes sparkled like stars, his body resembled the heavens and the earth, the Thirty-Three Heavens had already merged into his body and were evolving within him.

This evolution was no longer a shadowy anomaly, but a true opening. Using his own body to evolve the Thirty-Three Heavens and to create Immortal Gods within them, sitting in the acupoints throughout his body.

The great cosmos of heaven and earth, the small cosmos in the human body, the human body subtly harmonizes with the cosmic numbers, and the acupoints throughout the body harmonize with the cycle stars. The Great Heavenly Venerate's action, therefore, is to transform his body into the cosmos, incorporating the gods within.

His Dao evolved in the physical body, already reaching the pinnacle of merging Dao with the body, the transformation of Dao's appearance had reached the ultimate limit.

The transformation of Dao's appearance is not merely physical, but represents how far one has advanced in Daoist practice.

In contrast, Jiang Li also transforms his body into the sun, the Eight-Nine Profound Skill manifests fully on him, even if Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch were reborn, he couldn't transform into the sun like Jiang Li does.

The moment their palms touched, the surrounding space underwent a complete cleansing, everything visible and invisible was destroyed, evolving into two states of clarity and turbidity, reminiscent of the beginning of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, regardless of clarity or turbidity, they both began to burn.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate's Daoist practice still surpasses Emperor Jiang's," The Queen Mother of the West observed and spoke.

All of the Great Heavenly Venerate's power was entirely internalized, controlled by his Dao Body, with not a single trace leaking outward; the surrounding anomaly was actually caused by Jiang Li's leaking power.

Whether it's destroying everything visible and invisible, or burning clarity and turbidity, it is all due to Jiang Li's power.

This indicates that the Great Heavenly Venerate still holds the advantage in Daoist practice. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"But Emperor Jiang's Daoist practice is also advancing rapidly." Shakyamuni Tathagata said solemnly.

If it were the former Jiang Li, he absolutely couldn't internalize as much. His power is extremely formidable, yet due to this it becomes difficult to control, it used to destroy everything purely by brute force of quantity and mass.

The mere fact that he is leaking power instead of directly manifesting the sun already shows Jiang Li's Daoist practice far surpasses his past self, and the gap with the Great Heavenly Venerate is no longer as vast.

Moreover, this gap can be bridged with Divine Skills.

"Taiji is the body, Taisu is the quality, Taishi is the form."

[Emperor Emerges from Zhen] continuously performed, reshaping the physical form.

The Five Supremes are the evolution of Dao at different stages, once a stage has passed, it's past. When Taiji appears, Taisu does not exist, because Taisu has evolved into Taiji.

Previously, Jiang Li could only toggle between the Five Supremes but couldn't make them coexist, however now Jiang Li not only can make them coexist, but even integrate them as one.

Taishi is form without quality or body, merging into Taisu to compensate its quality, then into Taiji to form a body.

Using Taishi as form, Taisu as quality, Taiji as body, in a state that shouldn't coexist, yet under Jiang Li's will, they combine as "one."

Suddenly chaos appears, then primordial material is created, evolving into the body, eyes encompassing the sun.

It resembles Pangu's form, yet isn't Pangu's form, but its strength is not inferior to the form previously revealed above the East Sea.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's brows slightly moved, already sensing the threat, with one thought of creation, multiple spaces opened.

"One Thought Three Thousand Realms."

The two sides originally facing each other with palms, now appeared infinitely distant.

Space continuously evolved, overlapping in layers, within a moment thousands of Cave Heavens emerged.

Yet as soon as these layers of space touched Jiang Li, they immediately collapsed.

Space before him was insufficient to form a body, Cave Heaven around him had its quality refined away, his presence transcending universal vacuum.

Jiang Li stepped over the collapsing space, like the rising sun, unstoppable, approaching the Great Heavenly Venerate again, raising his hand in a gesture, causing Chi You's Flag to transform into a gigantic axe, standing upright in the palm before—

Slashing down!

"Boom!"

Space completely collapsed, unable to withstand the unparalleled power even for an instant.

Yet the Great Heavenly Venerate's internal heaven and earth at this moment completely sustained itself.

A golden Sword Light stretched across, like a line between sea and sky, dividing sky and sea, continuously existing, the giant axe struck upon it but couldn't break through.

"Heaven integrated into the body, Supreme Dharma Body."

The Great Heavenly Venerate revealed an eternal aura, the Emperor's Robe on him shone brightly, transformed from the Investiture of the Gods.

This is his Divine Skill [Supreme Dharma Body], the Great Heavenly Venerate possesses the strongest Dharma Body in the Three Realms, ranked above even the Tathagata Golden Body, only beneath the Heavenly Venerate level beings, now also incorporating the power of the heavens, becoming even stronger.

The giant axe transformed from Chi You's Flag was blocked, the Great Heavenly Venerate's other hand suddenly rose, then pressed down, the large palm like the heavens, evolving into a starry sky that enveloped, one by one forming Array Maps, pressing toward Jiang Li.

Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars!

Previously, the Dao Fruits of the Thirty-Six Commanders of the Taiping Sect were scattered after the great battle, now they were also incorporated into the Investiture of the Gods. At this moment, the Great Heavenly Venerate transformed his palm into a starry sky, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Stars were also evolved.

"Useless!"

Facing the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Stars, Jiang Li remained motionless, leaving only cold mockery, dazzling brilliance shone outside his body, ten suns reappeared, True Sun Fire raged forth.

The Ten Suns collide with the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang, True Sun Fire and Star Essence crash violently, only endless roaring is heard, stars consecutively explode, starlight like fragments flying everywhere.

Against the Ten Suns, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang couldn't withstand a single strike.

While Jiang Li himself then grasped the giant axe, Chi You's Flag transforms again into a Sharp Sword, Sword Gang surged, together with Supreme Yang Power to slash.
