Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1344 - 94: The Fall of the Great Heavenly Venerate (Part 2)

Thus—

The Great Heavenly Venerate suddenly wielded his sword, stepping forward, as the space he opened shattered, he instantly closed in on the giant left eye.

The crack continued to expand, with the Sun Star persistently pressing into this world.

If it were before the End of Dharma, even if the Sun Star fell to earth, it wouldn't be enough to destroy the entire world. But in the present era, the world is already in ruin, and the Sun Star, not having descended yet, has already brought the most extreme oppression.

The mere act of descending squeezes the world, causing the heavens to shatter, with the giant left eye already occupying the sky.

And the Great Heavenly Venerate, at that moment, wielded a sword to cleave the Great Sun.

Before the enormous celestial body, the Supreme Dharma Body expanded frantically, the Circulation number of Divine Images manifested into reality, whether or not the Dao Fruit existed within the Investiture of the Gods erupted in ultimate Divine Light.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's Dharma Body expanded to a height of ten thousand feet in a brief instant, with the Nine Rites Heavenly Venerate Sword proportionally enlarging, wielded by the Great Heavenly Venerate and slashing towards the sun.

The Sword Light appeared dim against the sun's radiance, like a shadow, yet this shadow found its place before the sun, even falling like it was cleaving the sun.

Upon their collision, the light and shadow suddenly extinguished, the world abruptly darkened, followed by—

The universe shining brightly.

The sword tip fell upon the sun, the golden True Sun Fire surged like tidal waves, only to be divided.

Endless light and heat fell onto the Great Heavenly Venerate's Supreme Dharma Body, illuminating entirely this stature.

"The sun rests upon its wheel, the heavenly radiance enters stagnation."

At that instant, a command echoed from some mysterious realm, and the inexhaustible True Fire upon the sun abruptly solidified, with the radiance suspended mid-air.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's time was forcibly paused for a brief moment, while at the sun's center, a sight appeared.

At that moment, the sun truly transformed into a pupil, with its gaze falling upon the Great Heavenly Venerate, dividing into 365 segments.

Time returned to normal.

"Hiss—"

Three hundred and sixty-five rays of Great Sun Light pierced through the circulatory acupoints of the Supreme Dharma Body, penetrating the Circulation number of Divine Images.

"Boom!"

The flow of heat and surge of waves belatedly emerged, sweeping through Canghai, evaporating into continuous white mist, subsequently dyed gold-red by the sun's light.

The whole world seemed enveloped in a golden-red aura.

"Bang—"

The Sun Star recoiled, its momentum of descent stifled, even reversed into retreat.

A long sword scar appeared upon the Sun Star, and a silhouette returned from the formless into reality, revealing its form.

Jiang Li reappeared, his face stained with blood, the fierce sword scar cleaving the pupil of his left eye, faintly dividing it into two, golden-red blood streaming from the pupil like a waterfall on his face, the utmost heat burning incessantly.

"Hmph—"

Jiang Li couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his face twisting in pain as he pressed one hand against half his face.

Meanwhile, the ten-thousand-foot tall Supreme Dharma Body staggered back, within its massive frame, three hundred and sixty-five divine lights erupted outward, threatening to collapse the Inner Heaven and Earth of the Thirty-three Heavens.

"The Sun Star······"

A colossal voice echoed in the sky, "No, I have not lost yet! Emperor Xi, begone, I have not lost!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate unleashed a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

Even heavily injured, he had yet to reach a desperate end, even if defeat was destined for the future.

Yet, the Great Heavenly Venerate could no longer suppress Fu Xi's True Spirit.

Fuxi was titled "Tai Hao," with "Tai" meaning supreme, ancient, while "Hao" symbolizes heaven and brightness, also representing the sun and light.

Tai Hao, Tai Hao, signifies the most ancient heaven, the primordial sun.

Perhaps not the most ancient and primordial of the world, but among the Human Race, it symbolizes the oldest heaven and Sun God.

Fuxi once stood at the zenith of Yang's course.

Jiang Li, assaulting the Great Heavenly Venerate with the Sun Star, was indirectly aiding Fu Xi's True Spirit.

Though the Great Heavenly Venerate conferred his divine status to Fu Xi's True Spirit for both to share the damage, he still couldn't quell the True Spirit's recovery.

With one flourishing and one diminishing, the Great Heavenly Venerate finally found it impossible to restrain Fu Xi's True Spirit.

"I have not lost!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate roared, the Primordial Qi Shangqing Talisman appearing at his brow, attempting once again to subdue Fu Xi's True Spirit.

But at that moment, Jiang Li threw down the Xuanyuan Sword, reaching into the Void, drawing out a long sword encircled by Green Lotus.

When the sword's tip first appeared, the Sword Light immediately fell upon the Great Heavenly Venerate's brow. The process of cause and effect bypassed directly, the Sword Light reflected a clear trajectory in the Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes, irresistibly nailing onto his forehead.

Sourced from the Shangqing Daoist inheritance, the Primordial Qi Shangqing Talisman faced off against the Shangqing Treasure Qingping Sword, nearly without the slightest resistance, was pierced through and also pierced through the Great Heavenly Venerate's last struggle.

"Boom—"

A colossal roar erupted within, the Inner Heaven and Earth collapsing, the ten-thousand-foot Supreme Dharma Body also disintegrating.

Three hundred and sixty divine lights burst forth to the corners of heaven and earth, along with the Dao Fruits from the Investiture of the Gods scattering.

The collapse of the Supreme Dharma Body narrated destruction and presented an exceedingly splendid scene.

"I······"

"Emperor Xi, I have not lost to you, if it weren't for Jiang Li, if it weren't for him—"

The consciousness of the Great Heavenly Venerate continued to roar, furious to the extreme, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha······ next will be your contest. The two of you, I will await you in another world. Let me see who wins in the end."

From the End of Dharma to the present, who knows how many years of scheming finally declared failed, the Great Heavenly Venerate angry, unwilling, yet did not reveal a disgraceful state.

In the end, he chose a dignified demise.

As the voice gradually fades, a divine light flew out from the collapsing Supreme Dharma Body, faintly revealing a human figure within.

And the Qingping Sword—

Still nailed amid the brow of this silhouette.

Since the Great Heavenly Venerate was defeated, what's left is the revival of Emperor Xi.

Unlike the Great Heavenly Venerate, Emperor Xi was inherently the bearer of Fuxi Dao Fruit, upon revival, there would be no other to manipulate him, or compete for the Dao Fruit.

However, having suffered such severe injuries, and being repeatedly suppressed by the Great Heavenly Venerate, Fu Xi's True Spirit is undoubtedly in the weakest state.

Now is precisely the opportunity to deal with him.

The reason Jiang Li had reserved the Qingping Sword until the end, choosing to use the Qingping Sword to penetrate the Great Heavenly Venerate's final resistance, was to use this "All Causes Fruit" Dao Artifact to pin down Fu Xi's True Spirit.

He disregarded the excruciating pain penetrating his pupil and even consciousness, clutching the Pangu Banner ready to traverse the skies, to suppress the rejuvenated Emperor Xi.

But, at that moment, the Xuanyuan Sword, thrown towards the ocean, soared into the sky, from within emerged a majestic and imposing figure, blocking Jiang Li's path.

Simultaneously, time fluctuated, delivering news that made Jiang Li's face turn grim, with even blood streaming again from his left eye's pupil.

"Jiang Li, the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is just one bow away."

Far in another space, the Great Venerable sent a message to Jiang Li.

"Now, if you cease and leave, I will spare Gongsun Qingyue."

"Cosmic Light Divine Ability!"

Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, instantly realizing what means the Great Venerable employed.

Only Cosmic Light Divine Ability could swiftly transcend the remaining seven-day period of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.

"I simply wish to resurrect the grandfather Emperor Xi, not to become your enemy. Jiang Li, ceasing is the optimal choice, whether for you or for me."

"Threatening me with the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book?" Jiang Li found himself laughing furiously in spite of anger.

His bleeding eyes fixed upon the figure ahead, he coldly stated, "Is this also your intention?"

"It isn't our intention, but these youngsters acted for Emperor Xi, we are willing to take the responsibility."

The imposing figure solemnly stated, "Once Emperor Xi revives, you may freely seek retribution from me, I guarantee he nor anyone else will interfere."

He took full responsibility, displaying both an imperial commitment and a ruthless demeanor.

Between the resurrection of Emperor Xi and the death of Gongsun Qingyue, the counterpart made the most appropriate choice.

Moreover, should Jiang Li decide to cease, Gongsun Qingyue would remain unharmed, resulting in a perfectly harmonious scenario.

"The optimal choice······"

Jiang Li pondered these words, coldly smiled, "I am never threatened."
