Taiyi Dao Fruit

Jiang Li really wanted to say that she had the wrong person, but he couldn't do that.

After all, his current identity was that of someone spying on the secrets of the Princess and Feng Manlou, which was itself something to be kept in the dark.

The Princess now believed that this vague ghost shadow was another incarnation of Feng Manlou, wanting to treat this matter as a private issue to resolve. Therefore, she used the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter to draw the ground into a prison, trapping Jiang Li while also preventing the matter from leaking out.

Once she discovered that this was not a private matter, she might as well open the formation and call for reinforcements, making Jiang Li's escape much more difficult.

'So, it's necessary to leave as soon as possible before being exposed.'

Ensuring his identity was not exposed while also unable to exert his full strength was, needless to say, a challenge. However, Jiang Li had overcome many difficulties before, and this situation was not enough to stump him.

With this thought, Jiang Li reached out his palm, the Innate Qi further evolved, transforming from the purest Primordial Qi into a harbinger of destruction, the All Heaven Divine Sha beginning to take shape.

Although he was just beginning to learn, he had the foundation of the "Qi Tomb" and Innate True Body, and the wisdom of a Great Grandmaster, so he had an introductory understanding of the All Heaven Divine Sha. Previously breaking the arrangement within the Jade Mirror, he used this Divine Evil, and now deploying it again, his Qi Mechanism spilled over without a noticeable presence, causing the pervasive Flame Light and Fire Crows to suddenly dim.

Then, Jiang Li pushed his palm, instantly creating a void amidst the multitude of Fire Crows, where his palm's influence reached, the Flame Qi all extinguished.

"Hehe."

The vague ghost shadow emitted a hoarse laugh, immediately leaping, as if traversing space, flickering and moving closer to the Princess, the raised palm pressing forward, and the Sha Gang was already in proximity, mere inches away in front of the Princess.

The terrifying Sha Qi hadn't even touched her yet, but already caused her crimson dress to dull, the Qi Mechanism corroding, first damaging the Vestment robe.

"Do you still want to hide?"

The Princess had no intention of retreating, coldly shouted, flipping her jade hand and meeting with a palm.

The All Heaven Divine Sha had long not existed in the world, even the Military God's Five Weapons had only been unsealed over the past year. The Princess was unfamiliar with this power. Not to mention, Jiang Li was able to cultivate the Moluo Sword Manual, possessing "Outer Object Transformation," allowing him to freely alter the appearance of his moves and True Qi.

Therefore, the Princess met the attack without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The two palms collided, at the Princess's hand, Flame Light boiled and shattered inch by inch, with no advantage before the Divine Evil.

The Flame Element dictator under Heaven, Emperor Yan, was still defeated by Chi You; Jiang Li's unformed All Heaven Divine Sha could not compare to Chi You, but the Princess was also not Emperor Yan.

With one contact, the power of the Divine Evil obliterated any advantage, yet simultaneously, crimson light appeared on the Princess's robe, outlining a slender bird-beast form, a vermilion Divine Beast's virtual image emerging on the Vestment robe, resisting the Sha Qi erosion.

'Vermilion Bird! Her garment is a third-grade Dao Artifact!'

The Third Grade Dao Fruit·Vermilion Bird was actually inside the Princess's robe, always accompanying her, and at this moment, the Dao Artifact displayed its power, blocking the Sha force, as the Princess let out a clear cry, as if a Phoenix descending the world, with the golden crown atop her head also bursting forth with dazzling golden light.

Fifth Grade Fire Mansion Star Dao Fruit Divine Power·Golden Radiance Crown.

The Princess's hair crown was undoubtedly specially refined to coordinate with her Dao Fruit Divine Power, the golden light emerging, bewildering perception, while both hands swiped, extreme high temperatures permeated space, incinerating everything within.

A year ago, she had begun preparing to advance to the third grade, unmistakably a fourth-rank perfection. Now, with the power of the Harmonization Device and the might of the Dao Fruit Divine Power, the True Void was refined by fire, and even the Divine Sha seemed hard to resist, being refined and dissolved.

Simultaneously, the vague ghost shadow also gradually cleared, as if the technique to obscure the body was unable to withstand the Divine Fire's refinement.

Seeing this, the Phoenix Form appeared around the Princess, wings converging, roaring Divine Fire swept, and in an instant—

"Woo!"

Sha Qi was swept away, yet the vague figure was also burnt out.

Dead?

The next moment, the vague figure appeared out of thin air behind the Princess, pointing out a finger, the Divine Sha reappeared.

The previous figure was evidently fake. Upon discovering the Third Grade Dao Artifact, Jiang Li realized it was difficult to quickly push back the Princess head-on, so he had to resort to a clever move. The Eight-Nine Profound Skill, Wind Transformation, the front was merely an Illusion Body, the rear was the true attack.

At this moment, the All Heaven Divine Sha finally exploded with terrifying power, the fingertip tap like a black hole, swallowing the Divine Fire, piercing through the Phoenix Form, and touching the Princess's back.

The Vermilion Bird's Vestment robe spontaneously protected her body, Divine Light clashed with Divine Sha, the scorching Flame Energy twisted the very space around them.

But Jiang Li immediately changed his attack, shifting from finger to palm to claw to punch, four styles in succession, the Divine Evil crashing, causing the twisted space to collapse.

"Boom!"

A furious wave of flame wind exploded from the point of impact, the Princess's form transformed, a talisman shadow appeared, suddenly turning into a Phoenix Bird, soaring across space.

While flying, the Phoenix Bird also glanced back, sensing the turbulence within and the extreme destructive power of the previous strike, already harboring doubt.

To have such techniques used upon oneself, was this truly another incarnation of Feng Manlou?

It was solely the Vermilion Bird Vestment robe's presence that saved the Princess from suffering severe injuries.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li's Heavenly Eye at his brow opened, surrounded by Eight Trigrams circling the pupils, already capturing a trace of fluctuation. In the moment the Princess was struck, her connection to the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter also reacted.

Ultimately, the Princess was not someone like Tianxuan, well-versed in Qimen Dunjia; her use of the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter was too rough.

At this moment, Jiang Li transformed the Divine Evil into Innate Qi, then further transformed it to resonate with the True Qi of the Princess and the "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter" drawing the ground into a prison.

In the boundless void, countless array patterns and runes emerged, interweaving to form a vast and intricate Dunjia Formation. However, due to the Princess's own mastery issues, this formation was actually self-operating.

Jiang Li glanced over the formation, his eyes flickering with light, rapidly leaping, then transformed into light and soared into one of the formations' rings.

"He found the Life Gate?!"

The Princess was uncertain upon seeing this, as finding the Life Gate so quickly was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Simultaneously, she immediately attempted to manipulate the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter to shift the Life Gate, only to find that a surge of Evil Qi, like a sharp sword, acted first, piercing into the Life Gate and creating a large hole in the boundless void.

The other side of this hole led directly to the Princess's bedchamber, and the Evil Qi even blasted through the room, connecting the inside and outside of the palace.

The formation of drawing the ground into a prison was instantly broken, and Jiang Li's figure flickered, ready to escape.

However—

"Buzz!"

The external sky suddenly changed, with Dao Qi veins depicting landscapes appearing out of thin air, space beginning to fold, and the patterns covering and blocking the path ahead.

If he went out, he would only bump into these overlaying landscape patterns.

It was Feng Manlou!

This good brother reacted really fast, or rather, he had long been prepared to act. Upon sensing something unusual, he immediately intervened.

Meanwhile, below, the Fire Phoenix soared into the sky, and the Princess was already in pursuit.

'These two really have great teamwork.'

Seeing this, Jiang Li sighed softly, "Helpless."

With a sigh of "helplessness," Jiang Li raised his hand to the sky mid-air, and all of a sudden, heaven and earth turned dark, the Great Sun lost its light.

Dao Fruit Divine Power·Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun.

Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch's Divine Skill greatly enhanced Jiang Li's physical power. If he reached Fourth Grade Perfection, he could probably bear mountains, and it also allowed Jiang Li to obscure the sky, creating an eclipse.

In mythical legends, Erlang God bore mountains and chased the sun, pressing down nine out of ten suns, restoring peace to the earth.

However, for Jiang Li, the skill to artificially create an eclipse was too subtle, after all, he was imbued with Fire Destiny and could borrow the power of the sun under it, so why obscure it?

It wasn't until now that he first exercised the other ability of "Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun."

With darkness enveloping everything, Jiang Li's figure instantly merged with the shadows, as if becoming one with the space.

The pursuing Princess responded without hesitation, activating the Divine Fire, intending to illuminate all directions with flames. But before the firelight could burst forth, countless shadows attacked from the darkness.

Some were fierce and domineering, others were soft and limitless, or incomparably swift... Jiang Li fully exhibited his power in the dark, transforming Sword Light into shadows, attacking from all sides.

The assault, several times more perilous than before, made the Princess's expression solemn, and she also went all out. The Vermilion Bird form on her elegant dress suddenly seemed about to fly out, Divine Fire converged, gathering on her body, like a Great Sun, resembling stars.

The ultimate heat of the Flame Energy scorched everything, forming small and large flame whirlpools, incinerating all shadows completely.

Hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, tens of thousands of shadows all perished in the boiling flame light, and the Princess's pupils shifted, her Phoenix eyes scanning, seemingly attempting to pierce through all the darkness.

At this point, no matter who that sneaky fellow was, the Princess was determined to find him.

Then, she saw it.

In the darkness, a giant dragon's eye slowly opened, the endless darkness began to show light, changing the heaven and earth as a result.

A profound and enduring dragon roar seemed to come from beyond the sky, reaching the Princess's ears, "Darkness and Brightness."

Upon hearing these four words, the Princess's mind was shaken.

At that very moment, the Candle Dragon's Eye became real to the Princess, her heart demon entered her mind, causing her defenses to collapse, even making her mind lapse.

Just then, Jiang Li's figure flew out from the darkness, shrinking instantly into particles smaller than bugs, entering the Princess's mouth.

No choice, only this method could elude Feng Manlou's scrutiny. Now that Feng Manlou could intervene, it wasn't easy to conceal oneself, no method could easily avoid him.

So, only a trick like this could be used.

'I wonder if my tactic is a bit off. If I had chosen the monkey's Dao Fruit back then, would I have reached Fourth Grade Perfection by now...'

With such doubts, Jiang Li cleared his mind, settling silently like a lifeless object.

The intense clashing occurred in an instant, as Jiang Li escaped, the darkness dissipated, and the space crafted by the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter also disintegrated, leaving the Princess alone in the ruined room.
