Taiyi Dao Fruit

Guanyin's form shifted, Buddha's energy transformed into a dragon, a Heavenly Dragon roared out under her command, meeting the force of destruction.

Within her Dao Fruit Divine Power were Guanyin's Thirty-Three Forms, which combined with her External Dharma Form to cultivate thirty-three transformations. Though her divine skills were suppressed, the transformations she had mastered were still intact.

This individual evidently considered how to contend with the [Daoism Rules the World] of the Daoist Lord, to avoid being powerless in future confrontations.

There was no choice; the divine skills of the Daoist Lord were renowned throughout the world, and anyone with ambition and aspiration to advance would not neglect to contemplate methods of counteraction.

Meanwhile, Tan Wuwei's handprints shifted, and thousands of lotuses formed a wall of Mandala.

"Vajra Nine Conferences Mantra· Samadhi Meeting."

Brahma Light transformed into various Buddha shadows, forming a solemn Buddha Formation, rising alongside the Heavenly Dragon to charge at Chi You's Flag.

However, upon contact, the Mandala disintegrated like flying ash, and the Heavenly Dragon didn't even have time to roar before it was annihilated. All Heaven Divine Sha raged across the sky like an Evil Dragon that devours heaven and earth, roaring forth.

"Dragon Flower Treasure Tree."

A Pure Saint Treasure Tree stood in the way, its canopy like a cover, blocking the Divine Sha, and then—

A terrifying aura spread forth, sending chills down the spines of the two, as the Dragon Flower Treasure Tree almost instantly collapsed upon contact. Although a carrier of the Third Grade Dao Fruit and extraordinary, it couldn't withstand the attack.

The towering tree was quickly swallowed, waves of destruction surged forth, and where the evil qi reached, even the Bodhisattva Undying Body showed signs of darkening.

In a flash of lightning and sparks, ripples spread through space as the Heavenly Monarch's figure moved behind the two, while the two Great Masters collided with the Heavenly Monarch.

Upon bodily contact, it was as if they touched an illusory shadow; the Heavenly Monarch's form showed faint ripples, and both were simultaneously drawn into the ripples, as if swallowed by the Heavenly Monarch's body.

All Heaven Divine Sha directly targeted the Heavenly Monarch, and at the same time, Supreme Yang Qi descended from the heavens like a thousand suns.

"Lianshan Yang."

The linking of mountains resembles Yang Qi.

All the Yang of heaven and earth was absorbed, transforming into a supreme radiance which, with a palm from the Great Venerable, descended with countless light wheels upon the Heavenly Monarch.

Jiang Li and the Great Venerable attacked the Heavenly Monarch from both sides.

"——"

The world was silent, all mediums for transmitting sound were annihilated, leaving only the extreme clash of light and darkness, aiming to completely destroy the figure trapped in the center.

But——

A gigantic ship-shaped vertical eye appeared, the layers of the Heavenly Realm opened one by one, and at the center, the Heavenly Monarch faced both Jiang Li and the Great Venerable.

Both saw only the front of the Heavenly Monarch, without a back, as Emperor Huang's Four Phases at the pinnacle of the "Form Tomb" realm manifested on him, meaning from any direction of attack, they'd face his front and full force.

This was the most perfect form in the world.

However, while the form was miraculous, the heart and mind had limits. The Heavenly Monarch's form could confront enemies from all directions, but his heart and mind could not address all foes, especially strong ones. Previously, Jiang Li exploited this flaw, and during a joint attack with Sun Wukong, his power surged, delivering a heavy blow with the Emperor Sword to the Heavenly Monarch.

And now...

Layers of the Heavenly Realm encircled the Heavenly Monarch, like wheels of formation, neutralizing both the All Heaven Divine Sha and the Supreme Yang Qi.

At the last moment, yellow clouds surged, the heavenly realm expanded, reversing the assaults from both sides, turning the divine sha and yang qi into sweeping torrents across the sky.

The limitation on heart and mind was compensated.

"Peering into the future, indeed."

Jiang Li's form paused, looking at the Heavenly Monarch, he spoke slowly.

"Internal Opening of Cave Heaven, having refined the human body into the heavens and earth." The ghost-faced man also ceased his actions, observing the Heavenly Monarch, he commented.

The figure before their eyes had a human shape but no human body; a Cave Heaven had been opened within, forming its own space, accommodating Tan Wuwei and Guanyin, isolating the influence of the [Daoism Rules the World] divine skill.

The Heavenly Monarch could no longer perform divine skills, but Tan Wuwei could.

The Heavenly Monarch excelled in manipulating Divine Thought, sharing a connection with Tan Wuwei, and gained Tan Wuwei's vision.

This effectively compensated for the Heavenly Monarch's limitation of not being able to handle multiple powerful enemies simultaneously. He only needed to process and observe the information derived from foreseeing the future, reducing heart power consumption by at least tenfold.

Where previously space was turned into the human body, taking the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation as his body, now the human body became space itself, embodying heaven and earth.

The "Yin Talisman Scripture" may not be the strongest cultivation technique Jiang Li had seen, but it was certainly the most bizarre.

"Dong——"

A loud blast echoed in the air, and the Jingu Bang fell horizontally, while Lingxuzi's form moved via Escape Skill, landing beside the Heavenly Monarch.

Sun Wukong intended to pursue, but glancing at the Purple Qi coming from the east, he halted his actions.

At this moment, the Purple Qi stretched three thousand miles from the east, where a Green Bull carried a Daoist who seemed slow but was actually swift. The intangible might of the Dao became increasingly dense, causing those present to sense a feeling of deficiency.

All Dao Fruit Divine Powers were thoroughly suppressed; the Daoist Lord had arrived.

It was clearly an honorable divine skill, but everyone present felt like they were facing a rogue. This strategy of sealing your Dao Fruit Divine Powers and then using profound Dao conduct to suppress felt helpless to any cultivator of the Dao Fruit System.

The Daoist wore a simple cyan Dao robe, his face appearing both old and young, embodying the maturity of the height of Spring and Autumn, yet also the worn years of having gone through vicissitudes of life; his visage could reflect an entire lifetime of experience.

And his arrival seemed to complete a missing corner.
