Taiyi Dao Fruit

Time became sluggish at this moment, gradually freezing.

Jiang Li could see with his own eyes the slowing of all things, seeing the particles in the air come to stillness, solidified in mid-air.

Then, Witch Zhen floated over, seemingly slow yet swift, his body pushing aside the frozen particles, his palm pressing on Jiang Li's shoulder.

"Humph! Trying to escape?"

He said this, and time began to flow again.

"Great Venerable's avatar, right? An avatar trapped by the Cosmic Light Technique?"

He chuckled mockingly.

No one is unaware that the Great Venerable is the only one in the world who possesses the Cosmic Light Divine Skills. Even seated atop the volcanic throne of the Devil God Sect, stirring chaos everywhere, called the "world's biggest troublemaker," he remains unharmed.

There's no one in this world who can take the Great Venerable's life, at most, they can only stop him.

All of this is because of the Great Venerable's Cosmic Light Divine Skills.

If there were no Cosmic Light Divine Skills, even if the Great Venerable's strength were greater than it is now, he wouldn't be so feared.

And now, the Great Venerable, the only one with Cosmic Light Divine Skills, his avatar is trapped by Cosmic Light. If this is true, it would be the most ridiculous joke.

Witch Zhen, with a teasing air, Qi Mechanism bursting forth, divination emerges, entangling Jiang Li like ropes, while the stagnant time resumes its normal flow.

"Caught you."

As Jiang Li's world began to move again, the first thing he saw was the approaching Asura Ghost Mask, along with a pair of teasing eyes.

Those eyes seemed to say, today is finally your turn.

Just by looking at those eyes, one can imagine the pleasure in the opponent's heart at this moment. It is widely known that the Great Venerable's heart is small like a woman's, and he cannot bear to see someone offend him and still be happy afterward.

Though I have also been targeted by the good brother a few times, I usually retaliated quickly, which made the good brother quite accumulate resentment, and today he can finally get revenge.

To this, Jiang Li just blinked towards Witch Zhen, then his eyes quickly turned gray, his whole body emitting flying ash.

The Cosmic Light Technique is indeed powerful; even Jiang Li was caught off guard, and this body was merely a strand of Primordial Qi, unable to resist Witch Zhen's Cosmic Light due to insufficient force. However, once the restraints are lifted, the transformation of Five Vile Qi will continue.

And the time condensing this Primordial Qi, Witch Zhen can't do anything to this Primordial Qi either.

As for reversing...

"It seems you can't restore backward time with your own magic skills yet." Jiang Li laughed lightly.

He had long speculated about the Great Venerable's avatar technique, basically confirming that the Great Venerable used Cosmic Light Divine Skills to manifest past selves, thereby forming avatars.

Then the question arises, can the Great Venerable's avatars in the Fourth Grade Realm exercise the Cosmic Light Divine Skills brought by the Third Grade Dao Fruit?

Upon seeing Witch Zhen condense time, Jiang Li knew that in reality, he couldn't wield the Cosmic Light Divine Skills of the Candle Dragon Dao Fruit.

Witch Zhen used the Yi Dao Technique combined with Qimen Skill to achieve the condensation of time, or rather the effect similar to time condensation, not using Cosmic Light Divine Skills. Hence, his Magic Door experiences delay, unlike the Great Venerable, who manipulates time effortlessly.

"Is this the realm of supreme power?" Jiang Li spoke with a hint of inquiry.

"This is the realm of supreme power."

Witch Zhen withdrew his palm, saying, "Dao Fruit is cause and effect; the essence of divine skills is the manifestation of past gods and demons' cause and effect, some part of it is frankly the power they cultivated, existing in Dao Fruit in the form of cause and effect. What was done by past beings, people today can also do; those who reach this step are supreme."

After speaking, as if he felt it wasn't specific enough, he added, "Except for the Emperor."

After all, the divine skills of the Emperor Dao Fruit aren't cultivated by anyone; even the Emperor Dao Fruit was created. The Emperor himself, although he received the cultivation insights from past Emperors through Dao Fruit, still falls slightly short of other supremes in terms of realm.

The Emperor himself is strong because of power, not because of Dao.

The other few supremes have penetrated the essence of divine skills, can reproduce divine skills detached from Dao Fruit. Even such mysterious Cosmic Light Divine Skills, the Great Venerable can also manifest through his own means.

Their realms should pursue straight to the original holders of the Dao Fruits.

Jiang Li originally thought his realm could already compare with the supremes, but now it seems it falls short a little, at most like the Emperor.

"I see."

He muttered softly, this body of Primordial Qi had already mostly disintegrated.

Witch Zhen did not stop him, even if he performed Cosmic Light Technique again to condense, by the time he unlocked Magic Door, this Primordial Qi would still turn into flying ash. As for capturing this Primordial Qi to find the Great Venerable's true self...

Upon realizing Jiang Li had touched the realm of the supreme, Witch Zhen found a somewhat awkward situation.

If Jiang Li's true self arrived, perhaps, maybe, possibly... this Great Venerable's avatar wouldn't be able to defeat Jiang Li.

Though his realm is higher, Jiang Li surpasses this avatar in other aspects; if they truly engage, the outcome is uncertain.

So, he could only let go of this opportunity.

Witch Zhen shook his head slightly, suddenly lifted his hand, and a divination entered Jiang Li's brow.

Jiang Li felt an incredibly peculiar mark, then transformed into streams of information, entering his heart.

"What is this..." Jiang Li murmured.

"You will use it."

Witch Zhen said indifferently, letting Jiang Li's figure turn into flying ash.
