Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1378 - 111: Semi-Finished Dao Fruit, The Wonders of End of Dharma Unfold Before Me

Chapter 1378: Chapter 111: Semi-Finished Dao Fruit, The Wonders of End of Dharma Unfold Before Me

In his memory, there exists a void-like figure, who, with a simple gesture, knocked Zhunti down. This is his only memory of the "End of Dharma," while all else has vanished.

"On the level of consciousness alone, no one can best him. The fact that he’s targeted us shows he came prepared."

Shakyamuni Tathagata’s voice was deep, "To defeat him, you must directly harm his true form."

The existence of Jiang Li can still be defeated, can be killed, but on the level of consciousness, Jiang Li is already in an invincible position.

Jiang Li’s consciousness can immerse in that divine intent of the End of Dharma, but others cannot. Even the Buddha, who shares the same lifespan as the heavens, is ultimately unable to contend with the terror of the End of Dharma.

He fell to the End of Dharma in the past, and now he is unable to deal with it.

Others are in the same situation.

At the location of the East Pole Sky Pillar, the golden rain of light suddenly disappeared, and the eternally bright ocean turned gloomy.

Emperor Yan raised his hand slowly, severing the intangible hand, while True Sun Fire burned at the wound, growing a new palm.

"Indeed, he has acquired the power of the End of Dharma..."

Emperor Yan raised his eyes, meeting a pair of equally wary eyes, "How did he do it?"

Within the array, even the Yellow Emperor was puzzled, but a murderous intent gradually appeared in his gaze.

Once more feeling the End of Dharma reminded the Yellow Emperor of past horrors. Previously, even if he was an enemy to Jiang Li, he never truly showed murderous intent, but now, it emerged from the depths of his heart.

Earlier, he thought Jiang Li had merely contacted the power of the End of Dharma, never truly believing Jiang Li could master its path, but now...

This is not just contact; he is clearly close to mastering it.

"We must keep him under the Heavenly Venerate; he can’t be allowed to break through," the Yellow Emperor resolutely stated.

This decision naturally received Emperor Yan’s support, but before they could continue the discussion, the array composed of the Book of Luo River Map suddenly changed.

"No."

An ethereal voice sounded, and within the changing array, the faint outline of a human-headed, snake-bodied shadow appeared, "You cannot stop him; you must let me break the seal. Before the Five Turbid Evil World ends, help me break the seal; this is the last chance."

"Emperor Xi!" The Two Emperors simultaneously called out the name of this shadow.

One can only say that the Ancestor of Yi Dao is truly remarkable, even sealed within the Three Pure Dao Artifacts, still able to communicate with the outside world through the Book of Luo River Map.

"Alright."

...

...

On the Xuanyuan Platform, golden brilliance once again enveloped Jiang Li.

He stood with his hands behind his back, eyes slightly lowered, gazing at the book before him.

[Under the confrontation of the Karma Net, Jiang Li could clearly distinguish all causes and effects and separate them from his own causal ties.]

A line slowly appeared on the Karma Collection, after which pages fluttered, countless dense words swirling and flowing over the pages.

Among them, a portion of the text separated, standing alone on one page.

The words on that page spun like water, forming a vortex, and the lines absorbed into the vortex were records of all Jiang Li’s past.

Through the alteration and separation of causal powers, Jiang Li independently extracted his own causes, maintaining purity. The causes imposed upon him were divided, and those integrated through Dao Fruit were also separated.

Eventually, this vortex devoured all the text, transforming into an illusory sphere.

Then, new words slowly... yet resolutely emerged.

[Second Grade Dao Fruit: Heavenly Emperor·Jiang Li]

[Category: Human, Divinity]

[Fitting Conditions: Jiang Li]

[Promotion Ceremony: ...]

...

After a few sparse lines of text appeared, nothing more manifested, as if it was meant to stop there. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Yet the little text that appeared was enough to change the system of Dao Fruit cultivation.

Dong——

A pulse sounded in the ether, like a heart beating, echoing in Jiang Li’s heart lake.

The text presented on the Karma Collection was the final result; this Second Grade Dao Fruit was actually coalescing within Jiang Li’s body.

When "Heavenly Emperor·Jiang Li" appeared, this Dao Fruit was nearly taking form.

’Just a bit short, not completely formed, the divine skills haven’t fully manifested.’

Jiang Li sensed his own pulse, looking at the Karma Collection, thinking, ’Moreover, the grade is entirely insufficient.’

The Dao Fruit unique to himself was almost complete, but it couldn’t achieve Jiang Li’s goal.

This was merely a Second Grade Dao Fruit, whereas Jiang Li sought to condense a First Grade Dao Fruit.

One grade short, it needed completion.

Jiang Li squinted slightly, and the Karma Collection slowly closed.

’Just wait a little longer, it’s close.’

Jiang Li extended his hand, pinching his fingers together, and tapped his forehead, then, with another draw, the Taiji Seal was drawn out from the Heavenly Mirror.

He looked at the Taiji Seal and said calmly, "It seems, my progress hasn’t eluded your notice, you found out after all."

"You noticed too..." A mysterious reply echoed from within the Taiji Seal.

The "discovery" Jiang Li referred to was his progress not eluding Emperor Xi’s notice. Even with the Heavenly Mirror’s sealing, Emperor Xi managed to sense Jiang Li’s progress, even determining that Jiang Li had contacted the power of the End of Dharma.

No evidence was needed; Jiang Li immediately locked onto the possible leak of his realm.

Even the Daoist Lord who informed him of the means to contact the End of Dharma couldn’t see through him, didn’t know how much his strength had progressed.

Only Emperor Xi... only he had the capability to grasp his progress.

"It truly surprises me, I didn’t expect Emperor Xi to still have means of external contact."

Jiang Li smiled slightly, then said, "That’s right, I also discovered, the secret you have been trying to hide, I actually found out long ago."

His arms slowly lifted, and the clear and turbid energy shifted around him, causing the sun’s radiance to blur indistinctly.

"The secret of the End of Dharma has always been before my eyes, in this world. The process of the End of Dharma is never forward; it is backward."

Jiang Li said leisurely, "In the common understanding, the Five Turbid Evil World began when the End of Dharma descended, and when the End of Dharma descended, it was the time when The Three Pure Ones attempted to transcend. But in my discovery, it is not so."

"The Five Turbid Evil World, which emerged long ago, was not actually the starting point of the End of Dharma, but rather its end. The world’s understanding of the Five Turbid Evil World’s beginning is actually the Five Turbid Evil World’s end."

The clear and turbid energy in front of Jiang Li formed a long river, with a faint void spreading along the river from right to left.

However, in the common understanding, the void began and the spread of the Five Turbids was on the left, moving from left to right.

This is where Jiang Li’s understanding deviates from the common perception.

The beginning of the End of Dharma lies not in the past, but in the future.

As for the current transformation of clear and turbid, it is not so much that the Five Turbid Evil World is ending, but more that it is about to start.

This gradually emerging Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is not a result of reverting from the Five Vile Qi; it is actually Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that has not yet been eroded.

The Five Turbid Evil World begins from the future, gradually eroding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, reaching its pinnacle during the semi-transcendence era of The Three Pure Ones.

For Jiang Li to contact the End of Dharma, to contact the root of the Five Turbid Evil World, is actually simple. He only must record the transformation of this world, and then...

"Flip it over."

The river in Jiang Li’s hand turned 180 degrees, "Then I can see all the mysteries of the End of Dharma."

When the Five Turbid Evil World ends, Jiang Li returns to the source of the Five Turbid Evil World, and at that time, he witnesses the entire process of the Five Vile Qi and the power of heaven and earth transforming.

The closer he is to the beginning, the nearer Jiang Li is to the end. Now, just a final segment is missing.

The secret of his Daoist progress is thus simple.

Because the entire world is enacting the mysteries of the "End of Dharma" for Jiang Li.

"Indeed, you discovered it," Emperor Xi sighed deeply.
