Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1336 - 90:

When the overwhelming aura emerged in the sky, everyone felt a sense of oppression, even someone as strong as Jiang Li.

Although the aura was formless and shapeless, everyone could confirm that Heaven had appeared.

The intangible Heaven seemed to have been materialized at this moment, with the vast sky as its vessel, allowing Heaven to truly descend upon the mortal realm.

In the next moment, the azure light descended from the invisible "Heaven," enveloping the Great Heavenly Venerate in the gaze of various individuals.

At this moment, the completion of the Promotion Ceremony had become unstoppable, and nobody intended to hinder it. Even the Second Grade Dao Fruit present involuntarily felt a sense of awe.

This was awe towards Emperor Xi.

"Boom—"

The azure light fused with the Great Heavenly Venerate's own aura, emitting a sound that did not exist in reality but resonated in cause and effect.

Under that resonance, everyone felt their Dao Fruit trembling, even those whose Dao Fruit had perfectly fused with their own cause and effect, now faced an impact.

A powerful presence spread forth, like a giant god standing upright.

Within the azure light, the Great Heavenly Venerate's expression turned extremely solemn, and his majestic aura surpassed that of the past, yet was not as lofty as before, rather like a gentle spring breeze that nourished silently, evoking respect naturally.

His demeanor and even his appearance had changed, which for a strong figure like the Great Heavenly Venerate, meant a change in his own Dao. Because their appearance was the manifestation of their Dao.

Fuxi's consciousness was about to awaken...

Everyone reached this conclusion with clarity in their hearts.

At such a juncture, regardless of how deeply Fuxi's True Spirit was asleep, it should awaken.

This was the hurdle that must be crossed for the promotion of First Grade and Second Grade Dao Fruits.

Even though Fuxi's True Spirit was weakened to this extent, the Great Heavenly Venerate still displayed signs of struggle.

The gap between First and Second Grade was far greater than that between Second and Third Grade. This was true both in terms of realm and strength.

Those at the Heavenly Venerate Level reached their own limits over long years. If the realm of Heavenly Venerate were quantified numerically, the initial entry would be one, the limit would be a hundred, and none of those at the Heavenly Venerate Level were below eighty.

The Great Heavenly Venerate, even at the pinnacle below the Heavenly Venerate, was not merely a small step behind them but rather a chasm from zero to eighty.

The opportunity was at precisely this moment.

In this instant, time suddenly appeared dislocated, a massive Candle Dragon manifested, its mountain-like draconic body directly passing through The Queen Mother of the West, Shakyamuni Tathagata, and Medicine Buddha, its draconic eyes fixed straight on the Great Heavenly Venerate.

"Darkness and Brightness • Heaven and Earth Dual Sinking."

Cosmic Light and Space simultaneously froze, and even Heaven and Earth seemed to turn into a stubborn stone, while the Great Heavenly Venerate trapped within was struck by an omnipresent, overwhelming force.

When time and space froze to the limit, the Great Heavenly Venerate's figure appeared like a shadow trapped within a mirror, then—

The mirror shattered.

Time and space, originally meant to be intangible, were transformed into tangible fragments, revealing pure blackness, or one could say, void.

However—

In the void, the Great Heavenly Venerate still existed.

Even as space shattered and time was extracted, the Great Heavenly Venerate remained unscathed.

He seemed to have broken free from the constraints of time, transcending the boundaries of space.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's face still bore a solemn struggle, yet his hand unfalteringly stretched backward.

"Boom—"

The ball-like universe intruded into the void, meeting the Great Heavenly Venerate's palm, and as the resonating thunderous sound echoed in everyone's minds, the ball abruptly exploded.

Star battle-like symbols became chaotic and unruly, rolling back to form a book and map.

With this palm, the Great Heavenly Venerate unexpectedly had struck the cosmic sphere, formed by the Book of Luo River Map, back to its original form.

But at this moment, the similarly void figure suddenly appeared, closing in on the Great Heavenly Venerate. The chaotic body disregarded the void, even breaking through it.

A banner imbued with an ancient chaotic sound appeared in his hand, bearing down with the momentum of Heaven creation.

The momentum represented creation and advancement, starting from the source of cause and effect, even chaos must be opened by this momentum.

Facing the current Great Heavenly Venerate, Jiang Li had not a shred of hesitation, directly taking out the Pangu Banner.

However—

"Enlighten Ten Thousand Heavens."

The Great Heavenly Venerate uttered four words, and within the void devoid of the concept of time and space, these words entered Jiang Li's consciousness, his hands differentiated, one above and one below, momentum creating Heaven and Earth.

[Enlighten Ten Thousand Heavens], the Divine Skill of the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit, was born from this skill as the Great Heavenly Venerate's "One Thought Three Thousand Realms."

But even at the Great Heavenly Venerate's peak, he could not use this Divine Skill to resist the Pangu Banner.

But now, he could.

The ensuing momentum of the Pangu Banner was unrelenting, unmatched throughout history. Even the beings at the Heavenly Venerate Level could only preserve themselves under this momentum, not counter it.

This momentum itself represented the creation of Heaven and Earth, indomitable.

Thus, the Great Heavenly Venerate chose to follow the momentum.

He did not block it, but instead followed the momentum, creating Heaven and Earth. With his hands above and below reaching, two giant divinations appeared, respectively the Qian Trigram and Kun Trigram.

Following this, the other six trigrams from the Eight Trigrams appeared one by one, mutually transforming, forming Sixty-four Symbols.

The Eight Trigrams had been passed down for countless years, everyone present was intimately familiar with them, but when it came to exhausting the fundamental principles of Heaven and Earth through the Eight Trigrams, throughout history, there was only one person. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

That was Fuxi.

Fuxi's Eight Trigrams opened Heaven and Earth, the momentum dissipated as a result. It could even be said to have been assimilated by the opponent, the manifested Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Symbols had their roots in the Pangu Banner, rather than being formed by the Great Heavenly Venerate's power.

Once Heaven and Earth are opened, the act of creation ceases to exist.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's expression was both struggling and solemn, as if the embodiment of Heaven and Earth, combining two hands, pushed forward.

A simple and unpretentious move, the widely spread Eight Trigrams, yet it brought unmatched force crashing against the Pangu Banner.

It was like a world became a sphere, crashing forward, an indescribable gigantic force colliding, bearing a strength not inferior to the momentum of creation.

If one talked about momentum, the other was brute quality.

"Boom—"

The earth-shattering sound reverberated, the Pangu Banner along with Jiang Li who held it were shocked intensely, then the Eight Trigrams exploded, transforming into All Things.

Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Lake, a world created, crashing into Jiang Li, engulfing him within.

Then, the Great Heavenly Venerate turned back, his hands forming a circle, sealing as if closing.

"Bang—"

The river of time surged with tidal waves, a force of overwhelming power struck the Azure Wave, crashing on the Candle Dragon's body.

The massive Divine Dragon slammed through layer after layer of space, accompanied by incessant sound, flying backward.

"Boom!"

The Candle Dragon finally crashed into a distant palace, smashing through countless pavilions and terraces and towering palaces.

This strike clearly expelled the Candle Dragon that the Great Venerable had transformed from the River of Time, thoroughly thrusting it into reality.

The mysteriously unpredictable time could not hold back the Great Heavenly Venerate at this moment.

Even if he currently appeared to still be resisting Fu Xi's True Spirit, he had already demonstrated a power surpassing Second Grade.

Even...

Rays of Divine Light emerged from the Emperor's Robe formed by the Investiture of the Gods, the Incense Fire Thought Power belonging to Heaven, the incense power stolen by the Great Heavenly Venerate for eight hundred years, transformed into rolling Divine Fire, madly burning, refining the Great Heavenly Venerate's cause and effect and Fuxi Dao Fruit.

His Promotion Ceremony had begun eight hundred years ago, and the preparation time was definitely not limited to just eight hundred years.

So, even knowing the Great Venerable had ulterior motives, the Great Heavenly Venerate still stepped into the trap that the Great Venerable had set for him.

Simply because, once the Promotion Ceremony was completed, all preparations made by the Great Heavenly Venerate could come into play, his advantage compared to before the promotion would be even greater.

His confidence at this moment reached a peak.

Given such a Great Heavenly Venerate, who in the world could now defeat him?

In a short period, he easily repelled two Second Grade entities, the expression on the Great Heavenly Venerate's face began to become lively.
