After a stream of power branched out within the Star River, the formless monster transformed into a human shape. One could vaguely discern long hair and robes, the silhouette gradually becoming clearer, but the face remained unseen.

Its features were blurred, like in the mist and clouds, not being distinctly visible, as if it didn't exist at all.

"How interesting, you haven't fully mastered Heavenly Dharma yet, but you managed to perceive its attacks and even block them. Does Zhuang Zhou, the Great Grandmaster of Mo Sect, possess such Divine Skills in this regard?"

Ji Jiji's voice remained hollow and indifferent, devoid of joy or anger, yet the information revealed was quite astonishing.

There might be those who know that Mo Sect possesses a Grandmaster Dao Fruit, but there wouldn't be many aware that Mo Sect had dealt with Jiang Li and entrusted the Dream Butterfly to him. At least from Jiang Li's end, he generally kept the Dream Butterfly in an invisible state of nothingness, only the two women at his home had seen the Dream Butterfly.

'So... was the deal seen at that time? Or did Mo Sect leak the news…'

Various possibilities flashed through his mind, not excluding that the opponent knew about the situation through other means and was deliberately speaking such to stir up trouble.

Moreover, after Jiang Li received clues from the Iron Pillar Temple's Cave Heaven Blessed Land, he obtained the Yin Talisman Scripture from the Imperial College's Huanzhu Building. Only he and Tianxuan knew about this process. Logically speaking, even if Ji Jiji was the one who left behind the Cultivation Technique, he shouldn't know these details.

The body in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land had long been stripped of its Divine Soul and consciousness; Ji Jiji should not know that Jiang Li had received the clues.

In just a few words, Jiang Li felt an eerie sensation as if he was being seen through, like there was an eye in the dark constantly monitoring him.

He even stirred up Jiang Li's suspicions, making him doubt the situation at Mo Sect.

The centuries-old monster harbored many secrets; his every action and word made people desperate to analyze in detail, treating him almost like a Supreme being.

Jiang Li silently used the Heavenly Escape Sword Intent to eliminate excess stray thoughts, focusing his mind entirely to face this mysterious and formidable enemy.

The enemy was indeed formidable, but he hadn't genuinely seen through Jiang Li. Regarding the Uniqueness Dao Fruit, the completion of Dao Fruit, and the Karma Collection, he couldn't possibly know.

Those were secrets not even Tianxuan, who knew everything, was aware of, much less an outsider like Ji Jiji. If he wanted to shake Jiang Li's mental state, he needed to first reveal those secrets. As for the others, they were what Jiang Li deemed permissible to disclose.

"If this is all Heavenly Dharma amounts to, then today, you may have to leave your life here."

Jiang Li spoke calmly, his presence ethereal, as if existing yet not existing, "Since my advancement, I have yet to use my full strength. Ji Jiji, can you force out my full strength?"

Whatever background or secrets this old monster had, if he couldn't defeat him, it was all nonsense.

Jiang Li was always good at leveraging advantages; against fools, he used schemes, and against cunning old foes, he responded with powerful blows. As for the cunning foes he couldn't defeat, naturally, he would run.

Ji Jiji might dare covet Heaven, but this figure that appeared before him was not enough to make Jiang Li flee.

'If I'm not mistaken, his True Body should currently be within the Sect…'

Thinking to himself, Jiang Li's acupoint between his eyebrows opened, as if having activated the Heavenly Eye, and faint white smoke drifted from the top of his head.

"You rash junior."

Ji Jiji laughed and chided, his hollow voice somehow containing more warmth, but this warmth was not anger; instead, it felt like a calm breeze, "That statement might be fair coming from your master, but you, a mere junior, aspire to stop me?"

The Faceless Being emitted a grand Qi Mechanism, untraceable and inscrutable, high above, towering like Heaven itself, appearing as a Divine entity.

As his words fell, the immense and vast force instantly descended, saturating every inch of space, every corner, penetrating the mind and pressing down on the will.

The Faceless God seemed to transform from the finite to the infinite, becoming an embodiment of the universe, the formless and boundless presence blurring the limits of reality and illusion, simultaneously suppressing Jiang Li's body and spirit.

Bang!

Jiang Li's body suddenly trembled, his hair crown bursting apart, the tidy hairdo dispersing, black clouds of hair cascading wildly, clashing against each other, emitting a sound like clashing metal.

At this moment, Jiang Li felt as if he had been squeezed out by the universe, isolated to beyond the known world, with the entire world as his enemy, estranged from the universe.

This sensation wasn't real, but the assault was more deadly than a tangible attack. The state of Unity of Heaven and Man was forcibly disrupted, and a sense of weightlessness emerged in his mind, hollow and uncomfortable, almost enough to make one vomit blood.

"If it wasn't for the need to block Yin Tulong, you would have already lost just now."

With a wave of his hand in resonance with the Star River, Ji Jiji wielded Invisible Power like a sharp sword, slashing through Qi Veins as the Qimen Array Plate continuously crumbled.

By the essence of mortal man as proxy for Heaven, the "Yin Talisman Scripture," a divine skill that has never been fully revealed since its inception, finally demonstrated its formidable power at this moment.

"Heavenly Killing Mechanism, moving stars and changing constellations."

Ji Jiji's figure shifted smoothly, his hands gathering as if embracing heaven and earth, arranging the star constellations within his embrace, then with a push of his hands, the shadows of the stars blurred. A vast killing intent filled the surroundings, rolling out and causing the Qimen Array Plate to crack completely with loud snaps.

Whoosh!

Ji Jiji's shifting figure appeared up close, pressing a hand forward; his phantom-like fingers penetrated the space, merging into one, forming the outline of a palm with Jiang Li right in the center of this palm.

In just a thought, Jiang Li was isolated from the world, piercing his mental state, breaking the formation with a single move, pressing down on Jiang Li. After resonating with the Star River, Ji Jiji truly demonstrated the breadth of his realm, easily putting Jiang Li in a perilous situation.

But—

The invisible giant palm suddenly encountered resistance. The phantom of the Blue Butterfly flitted around Jiang Li, his palm pressing down as if returning from beyond this world, yet still existing beyond the realm of heaven and earth.

His heart roamed carefreely, existing in this world and in the next, omnipresent and nowhere.

It was precisely the Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit of "Carefree Travel."

"Carefree Travel" allowed Jiang Li's mental state to roam freely and eternally, unbounded, while "Nourishing Life Master" enabled him to blend the subtle principles of law with his physique, thus commanding life. And "One-foot Hammer" allowed his True Qi to flow endlessly, without pause or end.

Though Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit appeared to lack earth-shattering divine skills, in its subtleties, it revealed the truly great power, providing Jiang Li with the most comprehensive development and enhancement.

Innate Qi formed a giant palm, colliding the tangible with the intangible as the two massive palms clashed head-on.

Heaven, earth, wind, fire, water, wood, mountain, gold—Innate Eight Qi took form in the palm, formed arrays within the body, internally maneuvering Qimen, turning Yiqi into Ten Thousand Qi, transforming the body into myriad forms.

Without relying on Unity of Heaven and Man, Jiang Li himself could become heaven and earth.

The concept of the Innate True Body flowed through his heart, the crystal-like body further evolving, Qi Mechanism taking form under his skin.

Boom!

The tangible collided with the intangible, the substantial struck the formless. Clearly in the realm of Heaven and Man as One, yet Jiang Li showed no signs of faltering. The two palms collided, causing a clear distortion in form as two overwhelming forces exploded simultaneously.

Thunk!

The advancing figure of Ji Jiji came to a sudden halt as he sensed a majestic yet piercing force hammering the invisible palm, forming a void.

Though it was a palm strike, it contained countless needle-like, sword-like bursts of Qi Force forming points, lines, and then surfaces, creating this cumulating powerful strike. Most crucially, the force behind this palm strike far exceeded that of fifth-rank.

Each Qi Force was several times more powerful than a typical fifth-rank force, and there were, at least, a thousand such forces.

This meant that Jiang Li's power was thousands of times that of an ordinary fifth-rank.

How could this be possible?

This absolutely couldn't be!

Even if Jiang Li cultivated the "Qi Tomb," he could never possess such formidable power. "Qi Tomb" developed nine Qi Seas, totally surpassing other cultivators in volume. In terms of quality, Innate Qi was supremely pure, unmatched by anyone else.

But no matter how strong the quality and quantity, they absolutely couldn't reach thousands of times that of a normal fifth-rank.

Such performance was truly beyond comprehension.

A sense of shock first arose in Ji Jiji's heart; the right hand blending with the space was blown away, the space forming the outline of the giant palm shattered.

Thousands of Qi Forces burst forth like countless sharp swords piercing the void, directly striking the Faceless God.
