Taiyi Dao Fruit

'The Vajra Unbreakable Body, the fusion of Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's Dao Fruit is becoming increasingly profound.'

Jiang Li watched from afar as Wuzhiqi revealed a grim smile, and the Jingu Bang descended from the sky, transforming the rain clouds into a raging torrent, falling like a heavenly waterfall.

This demon god appeared wild, but in reality was exceedingly cunning, feigning being struck to lure the Master of Rain into attacking, engaging him head-on.

"Heavenly Dragon Exploration Claw Formation."

The Primordial Lord Rain Master did not retreat in the slightest, incorporating the torrential rain into her form, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning all converging on one claw, meeting the Jingu Bang.

"——"

In that instant, the sky suddenly fell silent, the two immense forces colliding, destroying the medium through which sound traveled, leaving only the sight of the intense turbulence of Qi Mechanism, the Jingu Bang slamming into the Dragon Claw, and then wind, rain, thunder, and lightning transformed into a violent stream, surging against Wuzhiqi's body.

The white ape's figure was submerged, then—

It exploded apart!

"Shed Skin Technique..."

The Primordial Lord Rain Master's dragon eyes locked onto the remnant shadow that burst apart, talismans flew from the dragon body, transformed into a Compass for calculations, and countless Qi Mechanisms wove like silk and mesh, spreading all around.

She was a former Elder Tianxuan, naturally proficient in the Dinghu Sect's Qimen Dunjia technique, and had even studied the "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter." However, the Master of Rain admitted her talent in this aspect did not surpass Tianxuan, nor her exceptional young nephew, so she seldom exhibited it in daily life.

If Wuzhiqi, this monkey, thought such a move could succeed, it would be somewhat naive.

However, Jiang Li, observing at the side, realized something was amiss at this moment.

Sun Monkey was best known for his Divine Skills transformations, and even if Wuzhiqi couldn't fully grasp their mysteries, it wasn't so easy to be divined. More crucially, it was due to the origin of the Four Apes of Chaos.

They belong to none of the ten categories, do not attain the name of the two realms.

Among the heavens, divine beings, ghosts, animals, worldly beings fall into these ten categories, but the Four Apes of Chaos do not exist within them. Unless one's cultivation and Divine Skills display overwhelming superiority, it is extremely difficult to discern the details of the Four Apes of Chaos.

In "Journey to the West," Sun Monkey's various transformations were hard to detect for this reason. Even in the classic battle where the junior saint suppressed the Great Sage, it was through analysis and cleverness that Erlang God found the flaw in Sun Wukong's transformation, rather than directly perceiving his True Body with the Heavenly Eye.

As expected, the Primordial Lord Rain Master's Divination struggled to yield results, and while she explored, a golden light as small as a mustard seed suddenly appeared.

Wuzhiqi had utilized transformation, shrinking himself into a tiny mustard-seed-sized form to approach the Rain Master transformed into the Yinglong Dragon. The golden light rapidly expanded, and within less than an instant, it had transformed to human size, as the Jingu Bang swept across, turning as thick as a mountain peak, striking directly at Yinglong's head.

The web-like Qi Mechanism was dispersed, the anomalies of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning disintegrated before the Jingu Bang into smoke and clouds, a suppressive force like the solidity of Tianhe descended straight down, blocking the Rain Master's retreat.

Due to inadequate response, the Primordial Lord Rain Master found herself in dire circumstances, she employed the Yinglong Transformation trying to alter her form to counter the strike and minimize the injury.

Yet before her dragon form could transform, the Rain Master suddenly felt her head grow heavy.

"Boom!"

A heavy sound echoed, like a mountain peak, the Jingu Bang stopped mere inches from Yinglong's head.

A figure stood upon the dragon's head, stretching out the right hand, pressing upon the Jingu Bang.

Armed with the power of Dividing Mountains and Breaking Mountains, the Jingu Bang encountered an obstacle, firmly resisted, unable to advance.

—Resisted by a formidable force.

No trickery, nor Divine Skills, just pure strength and solidity. The physical body under the Jingu Bang's bombardment showed no injury, the Innate Qi was extraordinarily thick and unfathomable.

In Wuzhiqi's Fire Eyes Golden Eyes, the Qi Mechanism of this person before him enveloped the sky, even the Five Vile Qi struggled to oppose his Qi Mechanism.

"The Dao Fruit fusion is quite impressive."

Jiang Li similarly watched Wuzhiqi, the glow shifted within his brow, observing the opponent's formidable Vajra Unbreakable Body and its matching vigorous Qi Mechanism.

Then, Jiang Li's palm trembled, the Qi Mechanism covering the sky fluctuated like waves in the ocean, representing the pulse of his True Qi and the stimulation of his strength, shaking the mountain-like Jingu Bang away, as potential like wild tides crushed forward.

It was a simplicity and straightforwardness in immensity, even if it needed to support the Flying Island and maintain the sealing of the Military God's Five Weapons, Jiang Li's powerful Three Elements still displayed their vast magnitude.

With a thought, the sky quivered, and Wuzhiqi's figure was pushed back three feet by this momentum.

He, being a Great Demon, encompassed multiple Dao Fruits, even though there was no perfect harmony among the Dao Fruits, unable to achieve absolute perfection, still he looked down on those of the same grade. Through the past year of hidden cultivation, the Primordial Lord Rain Master's strength had yet improved, but still, facing Wuzhiqi, she fell into a dangerous situation with one misstep.

Yet now, Wuzhiqi discovered himself being forcibly pushed back by Jiang Li in outright power.

"Hah!"

Wuzhiqi let out a strange ape cry, white fur on his face bristled, eyes round and blazing, intense golden light infused his entire body.

At that instant, golden hues emitted from the hoop on Wuzhiqi's head, penetrating into his skull, causing his Qi Mechanism to surge like a mountain flood, the Jingu Bang rising and falling, striking directly at Jiang Li's head.

"Outer Object Transformation."

The Godslayer Spear still served as part of the sealing, yet Jiang Li utilized the [Outer Object Transformation] Divine Skill directly to visualize the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, manifesting the virtual as reality. The cutting coldness burst forth with his right hand, clanging out, as the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword halted the Jingu Bang.

The force pressed, True Qi clashing, a clanging sound surged then dissipated, the Jingu Bang was rebounded backward.

"Roar!"

Wuzhiqi opened his mouth in howl, deploying the Dragon Palace's secret "Heavenly Dragon Chant," yet emitted a strange ape cry, sharp and ear-piercing but extraordinarily dominant, the air and strong winds heaving like boiling water.

Jiang Li launched a strike, the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword pierced into the sound waves, as if into a tangible body, twisting the hand, twisting the spear, shattering the sound waves, clashing energies surged, though sharp it failed to harm him or the Primordial Lord Rain Master.

Then, the edge swiftly swept, targeting the ape directly.

Wuzhiqi retreated mid-air and his form transformed again, once more exhibiting Divine Skills transformation, becoming formless, allowing the Three-pointed Two-blade Sword to strike the void.

"Beware," the Primordial Lord Rain Master immediately warned, "Exchange Skill is ineffective against him."

As soon as the words were spoken, numerous phantoms appeared from all around, countless Wuzhiqi flickered into view, filling the sky, wielding thousand-jun staffs, attacking fiercely.

Jiang Li's Heavenly Eye observed, locking onto this space, discerning every detail, taking all Wuzhiqi's expressions and movements into his mind. Since Divination was infeasible, observation in reality was the method for judgment.

However astounding the Divine Skill of the Four Apes of Chaos, it was impossible for Wuzhiqi to perform thousands of actions simultaneously without flaw.

Positioned atop the dragon's head, stature as upright as a green pine, the Three-pointed Two-blade in hand transformed into silver currents, light clusters, blade light encircled his body.

Numerous beyond count Wuzhiqi charged, yet were repelled or dispersed by the Three-pointed Two-blade illusions.

Finally, Wuzhiqi ceased transformations, taking the transformations to the extreme, figure flickering unpredictably, here in front, there behind, ambiguity in movements, attacking repeatedly.

The two engaged endlessly in mid-air, traversing back and forth over a thousand moves, Jiang Li remained as steadfast as Mount Tai, immovable, covering all of Wuzhiqi's offensives.

"Vexing!"

"So vexing!"

Strange cries echoed from all around, Wuzhiqi utilizing "Heavenly Dragon Chant" to aid his actions, howls unceasing, trembling void waves, his figure dodging agilely, somersaulting to confuse sight, surge of attack ever more rapid.

But now, a crack opened between Jiang Li's brows, the Heavenly Eye exposed, abruptly striking to the right, blade light trembled, converting to immense vitality, yet transforming into a killing opportunity, snuffing out its life.

"Spring and Autumn!"

From spring to autumn, transforming the world's killing opportunity, to pierce and kill Wuzhiqi's True Body.
