Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1357 - 101:

Time reversed, and everything returned to before the Dragon Palace was breached.

The Xuanwu King sat on the throne, feeling a dreamlike sense of unreality.

However, in the next moment, the illusory sensation was quickly stripped away. The Gui Water Divine Shield automatically opened, invisible great strength descended, and the Devil Cultivators throughout the Dragon Palace exploded and perished.

The sunlight melted the top of the Crystal Palace. Xuanwu King looked up to see the Sun Wheel slowly descending, revealing the figure that could reverse everything, followed by those who had acted previously, descending one by one.

"Time reversal, to be able to reach such a stage..." Xuanwu King said in a dry voice.

The Great Venerable himself was adept at manipulating Cosmic Light and thus was well-acquainted with time reversal. And in this world, the Dao Fruit, it's not only Candle Yin who possesses the Cosmic Light Divine Ability. Similar Dao Fruits are rare, but not nonexistent.

Thus, the Great Venerable had once advised his subordinates, telling them some methods to counter the Cosmic Light Divine Ability.

The biggest flaw, or rather the biggest requirement of the Cosmic Light Divine Ability, is power.

Only with sufficiently strong power can one interfere with the Cosmic Light. So to counter the Cosmic Light Divine Ability, one must start from this point.

To prevent others from using the Cosmic Light Divine Ability to restore what had been destroyed, the Xuanwu King activated the Great Formation of the Dragon Palace, detonating the earth veins for thousands of miles, mixed with vast Water Spirit Energy.

Using Xuanwu Divine Power for connection, the explosive force of the earth veins and Water Spirit Energy were fused into one. At least for a moment, thousands of miles of sea area were like a solid iron plate.

All it takes is a moment.

To reverse time, one needs to cross this past moment. To reverse the time of thousands of miles of sea, one volcano after another, lines of earth veins, the entire Dragon Palace, and the time of the Xuanwu King, a Third Grade Perfection powerhouse, such that time could return to this moment before it.

Emperor Jiang may be able to forcibly control time with "Emperor Emerges from Zhen," but the power he would expend far exceeds that of the Great Venerable. The same thing the Great Venerable can achieve, Jiang Li may not be able to.

And to reverse this moment, even the Great Venerable finds it quite difficult, not to mention Jiang Li, who is severely injured.

However, the reality was the complete opposite of what the Xuanwu King expected.

——Jiang Li could.

From the Xuanwu King's perspective, it was insufficient to see through Jiang Li's depth. The future he estimated could not encompass Jiang Li.

The only reason for his failure was that Jiang Li was strong enough.

With strength as immense as Jiang Li's, he could almost do whatever he wanted in most aspects, even forcing time to yield to him.

The cause and effect were readily apparent to the Xuanwu King the moment Jiang Li descended into the Crystal Palace. At that moment, he felt as though his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had all drained away, and dejectedly, he lowered his hand.

He originally wanted to detonate the Dragon Palace and earth veins again, but even doing so would only lead to another failure.

Thus, the Xuanwu King, who hadn't retreated in the face of numerous Third Grade opponents earlier, instantly lost his will to fight.

The disparity was too immense, to the point of leaving the Xuanwu King in despair.

Jiang Li could reverse the Xuanwu body back to human form and, thus, could freely control the time of the Xuanwu King. In front of Jiang Li, the Xuanwu King couldn't even manage to take his own life.

"The inheritor of these three eyes grows stronger and stronger."

The monkey in the back, upon witnessing this scene, couldn't stop scratching his ears and cheeks, "Looks like old Sun has to think of a way to get promoted too."

In fact, during the previous period, this monkey had been busy trying to promote himself, but unfortunately, there were not many Dao Fruits suitable for him. And even if there were suitable ones, the Promotion Ceremony was not easy to complete.

Though Second Grade individuals are increasing, the majority are old Sixth Brothers reborn from before the End of Dharma, with very few genuinely achieving promotion.

Thus, the monkey could only continue staying at the Third Grade.

Leaving aside the monkey's little schemes, on Jiang Li's side, after descending, he encompassed the entire Dragon Palace within his Divine Thought.

The Heavenly Mirror flew out from the brow's Divine Palace, hanging in front, with light and shadow flowing, flashing across scenes, finally freezing within an underground palace deep beneath the sea.

In the dark palace, only a stone platform stood with a stone slab supported on top.

The stone slab acted as a link with the earth veins and resonated with the sea, allowing the Dragon Palace to maintain the Gui Water Divine Shield even in the Five Turbid Evil World.

For this reason, taking the stone slab was not something achievable in a short moment. Hence, the Xuanwu King opted to simply detonate the earth veins, thus destroying this stone slab along with it.

But what was difficult for the Xuanwu King was not the same for Jiang Li.

He slowly extended his hand directly into the Heavenly Mirror, grabbing hold of the stone slab, and with just a grab, withdrew the stone slab from within the mirror.

With the Gui Water Divine Shield having lost its foundation, it began to tremble, but was quickly stabilized by an invisible force, with everything maintaining its previous appearance; overall, nothing changed.

Jiang Li leisurely held the stone slab, sensing the Five Elements Qi brimming inside, with multicolored lights streaming across it.

"Five-colored Stone?" Jiang Li raised an eyebrow.

This manifestation immediately made him think of a certain legendary object — the Five-colored Stone refined by the Wa Emperor to mend the heavens.

Sun Wukong jumped forward upon hearing this and jumped to Jiang Li's side, his furry head leaning in, "Five-colored Stone? Let me see."

No one understood the Five-colored Stone better than this monkey. After all, he emerged from the Five-colored Stone.

Upon eyeing the stone, the monkey felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, almost instinctively saying, "Sure enough, it's the Five-colored Stone."
