Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1345 - 95: Three Purities, One Body—Altering Cause and Effect

Jiang Li's blood still flowed, streaming incessantly from his eyes, as intense pain ravaged his consciousness.

The injuries left by the Great Heavenly Venerate on Jiang Li were slow to heal, and even showed signs of worsening.

Yet Jiang Li appeared unfazed.

He looked at the figure before him and said, "No one can threaten me."

"No matter who it is—"

As his words fell, time once again showed signs of freezing.

In an instant, a sense of dislocation arose suddenly, as the Yellow Emperor quickly turned and looked behind him.

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Li had already drawn close to the Great Heavenly Venerate's body, reaching out to grasp the Green Duckweed Sword.

"Halt!"

The Sword Light cut through the sky with tremendous momentum, as the Human Path surged forth, evolving into anomalies like fire cultivation and warfare, suppressing space and calming Cosmic Light, which caused Jiang Li to feel a significant threat.

Jiang Li's cause and effect seemed to be under invisible suppression.

'[Man's Will Overcomes Heaven]... it also works on me.'

Jiang Li's Second Grade Dao Fruit was based on Emperor Yan's Tao Fruit; it was, in essence, a strengthened version of Emperor Yan's Tao Fruit.

Emperor Yan's cause and effect were fused with Jiang Li's, causing Jiang Li to be suppressed by the Xuanyuan Sword as well.

Emperor Yan's defeat due to the Yellow Emperor's cause and effect was inherited by Jiang Li along with the Dao Fruit.

However, Jiang Li now also possessed the Dao Fruit Divine Power of the Primordial Human, capable of immunizing him against the influence of Human Species Dao Fruit Divine Powers. The Primordial Human and Man's Will Overcomes Heaven both essentially manifested from the concretization of the Human Path Current.

Now, the two divine powers clashed, and the Human Path Current showed signs of division. Originally it could achieve a fifty percent amplification; now, it's merely twenty percent.

He reached out, wielding the Pangu Banner, as heaven and earth went dark, chaos spread all around, and space lost its distinction between up, down, left, and right.

The glorious Sword Light seemed to lose its direction, passing beneath Jiang Li.

"Man's Will Overcomes Heaven."

Seeing this, the Yellow Emperor declared loudly, as a diagram of heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains, and rivers flew from the Xuanyuan Sword, landing behind him, with the imprints of gods and immortals shining brightly, suppressing entities related to divinity and immortality.

All who perished under the sword tip would become part of its power; the sword itself represented the slaughter and conquest of the Human Path.

The Sword Light shone again, as all elements of heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains, and rivers merged into the Yellow Emperor's body, turning his previously illusory figure into reality.

The Yellow Emperor pioneered the Form Tomb, with a Law Cultivation Body, reaching the pinnacle of body refinement. He absorbed the energy of eight hundred years of Earth Core True Fire through the Xuanyuan Sword, with fire nurturing earth, to nourish himself and prepare to reshape his form.

Releasing the accumulation of eight hundred years, the dharma body was established, the Sword Light crossed horizontally and vertically, breaking through the darkness to directly strike Jiang Li.

The Great Venerable's idea was to force Jiang Li to retreat via the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, while the Yellow Emperor always intended to push Jiang Li back by force.

Though Jiang Li was strong, reaching the pinnacle of the Second Grade, he had fought such a battle with the Great Heavenly Venerate, with his wounds unhealed, targeted by the Xuanyuan Sword. Even if he held his ground, it was difficult to strike against Emperor Xi.

As the Sword Light neared his body, Jiang Li had to retreat to avoid aggravating his injuries.

Alternatively, would he rather endure the strike than retreat?

In a flash, black and white Qi suddenly flew from Jiang Li's body, forming rotating Yin Yang Fish, upon which the Xuanyuan Sword Light fell, disappearing without a trace, like a mud ox entering the sea.

"Tai Chi Diagram?!" The Yellow Emperor's eyes revealed surprise.

At this moment, appearing on Jiang Li was indeed the Tai Chi Diagram that should have merged with the Nine Provinces land.

With the Tai Chi Diagram, Jiang Li and the Daoist Lord could reverse the Five Vile Qi of the Nine Provinces, transforming the turbid into pure. And because of the Tai Chi Diagram, though the enemies were strong, they couldn't attack the Nine Provinces' underground.

However, the situation now was different.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism had already begun to naturally occur, with the Nine Provinces Tripod suppressing the mountains and rivers. Losing the Tai Chi Diagram would cause some risks, but the necessity wasn't as it was before.

Jiang Li clearly had the Tai Chi Diagram but had been unwilling to use it. What exactly did he intend to do...

Without giving the Yellow Emperor or anyone else more time to ponder, Jiang Li wielded the Green Duckweed Sword with one hand, the Pangu Banner with the other, both placed in the Yin Yang Eyes of the Tai Chi. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

At this moment, the Three Pure Dao Artifacts formed a unity, a Pure Light existing since the dawn of creation blasted into the body left behind by the Great Heavenly Venerate.

"Hmm—"

The fallen "Great Heavenly Venerate" suddenly let out a muffled groan, eyes opening, with azure-gold pupils drawn into a line, as imposing dragon horns sprouted from his head.

Emperor Xi's consciousness finally reached reality, confronted by the synchronized crushing of the Three Pure Dao Artifacts.

Jiang Li had held back the Tai Chi Diagram, intending to strike against Emperor Xi!

"Sorry, Emperor Xi."

Facing those Dragon and Snake-like eyes, Jiang Li managed a slight smile, "You'd better continue sleeping."

With the words, the Pure Light shone brightly.

······

······

"Jiang Li!"

In the space hidden between the mortal world and the void, a massive dragon shadow suddenly manifested, turning into the Great Venerable's figure.

In his eyes reflected the scene of the Three Pure Dao Artifacts dazzled together; he clenched his teeth, then raised his hand.

A vast mental will descended upon the Daoist nearby, forcibly controlling the Daoist's actions and qi fortune, compelling him to bow slowly towards the grass man on the altar.

Shen Hou watched in disbelief as he incinerated the talisman, his hands crossed, eyes full of struggle, even trying to self-detonate his own Primordial Spirit.
