Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1346 - 95: Three Pure Ones as One, Tampering with Cause and Effect (Part 2)

However, under the control of the Great Venerable, even though Shen Hou exerted all his effort, he couldn't make any effective resistance.

He couldn't even kill himself.

'That Boundless Heavenly Venerate, my fate is sealed... But Your Majesty, I swear I am not a traitor!'

With despairing thoughts, Shen Hou bowed toward the straw man, then picked up a wooden bow made of mulberry branches, notched a wooden arrow made of peach twigs, aimed at the straw man, and released an arrow.

The first arrow hit the left eye of the straw man.

Crimson blood flowed from the pierced spot, and the straw man seemed to turn into a living thing.

"Jiang Li, there are still two arrows left!" The Great Venerable gritted his teeth and communicated through the air, "I just want to resurrect Emperor Xi, why are you stopping me?"

"Either you stop, or Gongsun Qingyue dies!"

At this critical juncture, whoever hesitates is the one who loses.

The Great Venerable wouldn't hesitate, and Jiang Li couldn't hesitate either.

And Jiang Li's answer—

"Even if you stop now, you will still die."

Jiang Li's answer echoed in this space, resonating within the grand hall.

"I—"

"Found you."

Divine thought suddenly erupted, ravaging through the camp, shattering it instantly, then sweeping through the palace. Ultimately, the Great Venerable's divine thought landed on the straw man that had been shot.

Golden-red blood flowed from the straw man's left eye, fell onto the altar, and instantly transformed into golden flames, fiercely burning.

Meanwhile, the Great Venerable used the Candle Dragon's Eye to see Jiang Li's true form through the space.

The wound in Jiang Li's left eye further cracked open, and scorching blood flowed down, even staining half of his garment red.

The injury that should have landed on Gongsun Qingyue now appeared on Jiang Li. Moreover, the straw man on the altar showed subtle changes, with a grand aura falling onto the straw man, penetrating into the Arrow Book affixed to it.

Under the gaze of the Great Venerable and Shen Hou, the names on the Arrow Book flickered, vaguely indicating that two other words were about to replace the four words "Gongsun Qingyue."

— Jiang Li!

Undoubtedly, those two words were indeed "Jiang Li."

The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book aimed at Gongsun Qingyue had been transferred to Jiang Li.

This unimaginable scene caused the Great Venerable to show an expression of disbelief.

Because beforehand, the Great Heavenly Venerate had shown everyone the Magic Door of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book. With the Great Venerable's skill in Taoist arts, he could recognize at a glance that once the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book was cast, it couldn't be broken unless the Arrow Book was retrieved, let alone changing the cursed target.

Even the three souls and seven spirits are almost dispersed, and you're telling me you found the wrong person?

"The second arrow."

The Great Venerable disregarded Jiang Li's threat and directly commanded Shen Hou to draw the bow and shoot an arrow again.

The second arrow hit the straw man's left eye.

A wound simultaneously appeared on Jiang Li's left eye, with blood flowing from the eye.

Logically, Jiang Li was the least likely person to be threatened by the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book. He pioneered the "Emperor's Pole Worldly Book," practiced the Five Primordial Elements, and during the Taixi Stage, had already fused his Primordial Spirit and Primordial Qi with his physical body, transforming them into Primordial Material.

Even if someone could use curse skills to break through Jiang Li's Qi Shu, and even his divine skill protection, they couldn't hurt Jiang Li.

But if Jiang Li voluntarily withdrew his defenses and created a Primordial Spirit, that would be different.

Jiang Li indeed couldn't break the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, and the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book was always targeting Gongsun Qingyue.

Then, what if there were two Gongsun Qingyue?

Jiang Li used the Taixu Tao of Primordial Material to create a Primordial Spirit identical to Gongsun Qingyue's, and even connected Gongsun Qingyue's cause and effect to himself.

When the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book took effect, the Primordial Spirits of the two Gongsun Qingyue became its targets. Jiang Li's fabricated Gongsun Qingyue Primordial Spirit was even truer than the original.

— In the contest of impersonating Gongsun Qingyue, Gongsun Qingyue won second place.

The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book precisely locked onto the first place and cast the curse.

Then, once both sides connected, a certain counterfeit tore off the disguise, forcibly maintained the connection, and even began to trace the root of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book through cause and effect.

The Great Heavenly Venerate and the Great Venerable wanted to use Shen Hou's Qi fortune, as only such special Qi fortune could achieve maximum lethality. Even an average person, even if they were third grade, using the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book and "fighting to the death" with Gongsun Qingyue could risk perishing themselves.

Because Shen Hou was made to perform the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, Jiang Li was able to easily trace it back.

Shen Hou's kind of special unlucky aura, Jiang Li was all too familiar with.

"The Three Pure Ones unite, suppress Heaven and Earth."

Jiang Li enhanced himself with [The Emperor Emerges from Zhen] while commanding the Three Pure Dao Artifacts: Pangu Banner, Tai Chi Diagram, and Green Duckweed Sword, all three simultaneously descending upon the awakening Emperor Xi, merging with that Pure Light, suppressing what had already manifested of the Daoist Body of Emperor Xi.

Each Dao Artifact contained a First Grade Tao Fruit, the three combined faced the freshly revived Emperor Xi with imminent crisis.

"The Three Pure Ones unite...what an impressive descendant."

A vast voice issued from the Taiji, an ancient will comprehended the situation at the instant it contacted the mortal world, already controlling the new body.

Following the Dragon Snake's pupil and Dragon Horn, the Serpent Tail appeared instantly, the Fuxi Daoist Body reappearing in the world, the Serpent Tail danced, landed on the curve between the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish.

Being of human head and serpent body itself is a Dao Body, now evidently dividing the Yin Yang Dao, transforming itself within Taiji into that dragon-shaped curve, swimming along with Yin Yang, the immense aura permeating from within Taiji.

Faced with the suppression of the Three Pure Dao Artifacts, it still found a breakthrough.

No, one should say it created a flaw, and intended to break through.

The Tai Chi Diagram ought to be flawless, adding Pangu Banner and Green Duckweed Sword made it even more so, yet this one still created a flaw from flawless perfection.

Just like that Da Yan 50, Heavenly Destiny Forty-nine, one of the escapee, taking from the perfect fifty, transforming it into forty-nine, though deriving infinite variations henceforth, it increased a flaw, or one might call it a change.

But Jiang Li would never underestimate this head of the Three Emperors.

"Three Emperors unite, Three Tombs converge into one."

Stretching his hand, he condensed the merits of the Three Emperors, transforming into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Jiang Li descended his hand, merged the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi into the Taiji, using Three Emperors to suppress Three Emperors, sealing the "one of the escapee."

Thus, he finally seized Emperor Xi at his weakest, sealing him.

But simultaneously, a golden sword light arrived again, slashing Jiang Li's arm.

"If you cease now, there's still room for redemption."

The Yellow Emperor came wielding the sword, the majesty of the Imperial path and the torrent of the Human path simultaneously impacting Jiang Li, and as he spoke, the Xuanyuan Sword remained relentless, slicing once more.

Yet Jiang Li himself was nearly immortal; though heavily injured, making him cease wasn't easy.

The severed arm did not fall, instead automatically joined back at its break, as Jiang Li joined his palms, transforming the Pure Light into a Taiji, two phantasms arranged within Yin Yang Eyes, simultaneously suppressing, heavily sealing Emperor Xi's body.

This Pure Light Taiji shrank into a sphere, falling into Jiang Li's hand, yet he himself roamed through the heavens, trajectory mysteriously unpredictable, faintly having the mystical transformation of the Emperor Xi's dragon-shaped curve.

"You cannot stop me."

Jiang Li laughed long and flashed, "Hahaha..."

After ongoing battles and painstaking strategies, the objective was finally reached, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged within, causing Jiang Li to laugh aloud.

Even when both eyes were wounded, bleeding profusely, it couldn't conceal Jiang Li's current joy.

He roamed between Heaven and Earth, evaded the Xuanyuan Sword Light, suddenly flashed, dived into the void, tracing the cause and effect connection, heading towards the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.

"It's time to settle the score between us, Great Venerable."

Radiance illuminated the Ten Directions, piercing through space, arriving first into the space, Jiang Li's will echoing, declaring his murderous intent.

It was time to end this years-long enmity.

The next instant, space collapsed, Jiang Li descended.
