Taiyi Dao Fruit

Chapter 248: Outer Object Transformation One Body Three Forms; Daoism Rules the World Its Ghosts Not Divine


Confronted with Jiang Li's "Poisoning," Ji Jiji had no choice but to extricate his body from its formless, invisible state, transforming into a physical entity.

The originally hazy figure turned into a real body, no longer fluctuating between tangible and intangible, only the face still exhibited a state of nothingness, making it impossible to discern his true features.

This body appeared within arm's reach, and as soon as it manifested, Jiang Li pushed out with a palm strike.

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, as quick as lightning, Ji Jiji's palm met his, revealing the imprint of the Five Dings Mountain Opening Talisman within his palm, internally utilizing talismans, gathering Powerful strength.

When the two palms collided, the tremendous force of the impact meant that, while Ji Jiji was in midair with no support, he forcefully received Jiang Li's palm and retreated, flying back several zhang before violently landing. He swung the hand he had used to receive the palm downwards, and Jiang Li's strength was swept toward the ground like water.

"Five Vile Qi."

A hint of disdain surfaced in Ji Jiji's tone.

The Five Vile Qi spread all around, visible to the naked eye, with black winds howling. Any slight leak of Primordial Qi would come into contact with the Five Vile Qi, making it difficult even for Ji Jiji to externalize his True Qi. The mysteries of Heavenly Dharma were rendered partially ineffective.

What was more crucial was that he could no longer blend into the environment and vanish.

This move was not only making it hard for Heavenly Dharma to manifest its mysteries, but it had also cut off Ji Jiji's route of retreat.

After forcing Ji Jiji back with a palm strike, Jiang Li grasped with his hand, and a Sword Light flew out from his palm, which he caught in his hand. At the same time, his thoughts moved, and a dream-like Blue Butterfly flew out from his body.

Partly illusion, it was the transformation of Divine Sense, unaffected by the Five Vile Qi, and as the Blue Butterfly fluttered, a strange Sword Intent entered Ji Jiji's heart.

Heart Demon Secret Sword!

Using "Carefree Travel" to control Divine Sense, where the mind perceives, Divine Essence emits. The intention of the Heart Demon Secret Sword was to project this Dao Fruit Divine Power, originally representing freedom and ease in Divine Power, which had now paradoxically become an offensive move.

The elusive thoughts entered the psyche like vines growing in shadow, spreading in the dark recesses of the soul.

This was using Ji Jiji's own concept used against Heaven, to bring down heavenly intentions with the thoughts of the human heart.

But as soon as this Sword Intent had entered Ji Jiji's spirit, a vast and grand notion struck back. Jiang Li's Divine Sense touched countless complex and intricate Telekinetic thoughts, as if he could hear echoes of devout praise.

"Yellow Heaven above!"

"Honoring Yellow Heaven!"

"Heaven has perished, Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

His vision slightly blurred, he seemed to see in the swirling Yellow Cloud, a vertical eye opening.

'The third layer! Ji Jiji's "Yin Talisman Scripture" has already surpassed Heavenly Dharma and Heavenly Action, and now he aims to usurp the Heavenly Dao, trying to transform the human into the Heavenly Dao.' This thought instantly crossed Jiang Li's mind.

Over two hundred years of time had nearly brought Ji Jiji's mad pursuit to success; his "Yin Talisman Scripture" was about to be completed.

Ji Jiji then stood with an imposing aura, his figure moved like lightning tearing through the air, his hand raised, fingers like mountains, encompassing heaven and earth, expanding continuously like the center of the universe.

The relative perception control of heaven was transformed into an outward suppression, his Divine Thought suppressing Jiang Li's Perception, causing Jiang Li's perception to appear diminished, as if he had become the Sun Monkey, and Ji Jiji was the Tathagata Buddha who transformed his hand into the Five Finger Mountain.

This was not a Magic, and under these circumstances, it was difficult to perform Magic, but it was a use of power even more mysterious, not Divine Skills, yet superior to it.

'If Ji Jiji truly dies, I fear he could also leave behind a Dao Fruit unique to him, right?'

In that instant, a somewhat irreverent thought suddenly emerged in Jiang Li's mind.

Then, Jiang Li closed his eyes, shutting off his five senses, even retracting his Divine Sense, only the acupoint between his brows opened, revealing a vertical luminous slit.

Using the fragment of the Heavenly Mirror to observe his opponent, he avoided Ji Jiji's Perception suppression, the Great Circle Sword held vertically in front of him to receive this unimaginable palm strike.

"Buzz!"

The palm struck the sword, and the Great Circle Sword emitted an incessant buzzing, ripples spread out upon the blade, and the Sword Qi within spread out like water waves, deflecting the force of the blow.

But despite that, the unparalleled force still shook Jiang Li, and in that moment—

"Bang!"

Jiang Li's body suddenly burst open, two afterimages split from his body, falling to the left and right, forming identical figures.

Outer Object Transformation!

Zhuang Zhou's Dao Fruit Divine Power was so free, as broad as the imagination could reach, and as strong as the application could be.

Jiang Li's use of Outer Object Transformation managed to externalize forms, creating two clone-like beings, one person becoming three.

"Howl!"

On the left, an afterimage uttered a Dragon Roar, fingernails fully revealed, performing the Yinglong Transformation, claws like phantoms, grasping at Ji Jiji's upper body vital points.

On the right side, two crimson horns emerged, hair sharp as spears, holding a rough Cliff Sword, sweeping across with a slash.

"Heavenly Net of Transformation."

Faced with the pincer attack from both sides, Ji Jiji seemed not to think before acting, splitting his hands, one hand transforming into a pointing gesture, thrusting out like a spear or sword, each digit precisely striking the claw shadows, instantly dissipating the series of claw attacks.

Another hand pressed down seemingly slow but quickly, right on target, five fingers clasped onto the Cliff Sword, the index finger flicked, sending tremors through the blade.

In just an instant, it blocked two deadly moves.

But at the same time, Jiang Li's real body struck. The glint of azure between his brows circulated, his Primordial Spirit within his Sea of Consciousness already manifested in the form of the Dragon and Snake, employing the Qimen Dunjia.

His entire True Qi transformed into Sword Qi, erupting from the sword in his hand. Muscles, bones, flesh, all burst forth with strength, merging into one, a thrust that conformed to the natural changes of heaven and earth. It didn't release any True Qi outward but seemed to become one with the universe.

What's more essential, the aura between his real body and the two incarnations was connected, as though they were one entity, exquisitely subtle.

This thrust, unbeknownst from where it came, yet destined to strike Ji Jiji, seemed fated to hit its mark.

Just as Ji Jiji had blocked the assault of the two incarnations, another thrust targeted him, and Jiang Li's power seemed endless. Despite having already expended so much on the Five Vile Qi and even creating two bodies, he remained at his peak, never showing signs of exhaustion.

This thrust, aiming straight for Ji Jiji's face, pierced through the void-like visage.

"Incredible!"

Ji Jiji suddenly exclaimed, the void on his face opening, a small hand growing from his brow, grasping the tip of the sword.

The small palm was torn by the sword's tip, oozing a bright yellow substance that flowed like blood, while Ji Jiji's face and figure began to change simultaneously.

"I'm becoming more and more curious about your Dao Fruit."

As the words fell, Ji Jiji transformed into an ancient Daoist, the hand on his head still present, but it no longer seemed eerie, instead emitting a sense of natural Daoist mystery.

The moment this image appeared, Jiang Li suddenly sensed his Dao Fruit Divine Power lose its effectiveness, his two incarnations became ethereal, and even his own endless True Qi began to falter.

Not just Zhuang Zhou Dao Fruit, but Luu Dongbin Dao Fruit and a series of Dao Fruits from Sixth Rank to Ninth Grade were all severely affected.

"Daoism rules the world, and the ghosts and gods are not divine!" Jiang Li revealed a look of shock.

The world's six strong beings, naturally each had their dominant aspects. Like the Emperor, mouth holding the Heavenly Decree, 'I am the country,' standing on invincible ground unless one courts self-destruction; and the Great Venerable, possessing the Cosmic Light Divine Ability, creating chaos but still safe and sound after so many years.

The other four, mentioned in the same breath as these two, were naturally not simple.

Take, for instance, Daoist Lord Li Boyang, famous for many years, yet his Dao Fruit Divine Power had always only revealed one kind – Daoism rules the world, and the ghosts and gods are not divine.

Able to nullify all Dao Fruit Divine Powers and abilities, friend or foe alike. True to its name, when the Dao descends upon the world, the ghosts and gods hold no mystical power.

At this moment, Jiang Li finally understood how Ji Jiji's incarnation had escaped the Cosmic Light Divine Ability of the Great Venerable, by halting the execution of the ability.

With his triple incarnation attack intercepted, Ji Jiji tilted his head, releasing the Great Circle Sword and dodging its sharp edge, then took a step forward, his palm flourish already imprinted on Jiang Li's chest.

Like a mountain, like an ocean, a force too immense to be described in words struck him. Flesh ruptured, bones shattered, a mist of blood burst forth.

"Boom!"

Jiang Li's body exploded.

But Ji Jiji let out a cry of surprise, "Fake! When did this happen?"

The Great Circle Sword was real, but the man holding it was not. However, Jiang Li couldn't have been deceiving during the sword strike, and the opponent's Dao Fruit Divine Power was already restrained.

In a flash, Ji Jiji tried to defend, but the ethereal two incarnations suddenly coalesced again into solid form, two Dragon Claws locking onto Ji Jiji's right arm, as the Cliff Sword slashed across his waist.

Moluo Sword Manual!

Even if the Dao Fruit Divine Power of "Outer Object Transformation" was suppressed, Jiang Li still had the Moluo Sword Manual, which could turn illusion into reality, seamlessly connecting them.

At the same time, within the howling of the black wind, a figure charged from behind.

"You!"

Ji Jiji finally found himself in peril, grabbing one side of the Cliff Sword and catching a Dragon Claw with his hand, while at the same time, a pair of arms grew from his back, reaching out to meet Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, approaching like a swift shadow through the black wind, still had his eyes tightly shut, his Perception closed off, glimmers of starlight twinkling between his brows, with twin celestial phantasms emerging.

Ziwei and Tianfu, the assistance power.

From the Heavenly Mirror Fragment came fluctuations of Qi Mechanism, amidst the celestial phantasms, the illusion of a Divine Lamp appeared.

Jiang Li's True Qi intermixed with Gongsun Qing Yue's, even drawing upon the demon energy from Xiao Tian, a fingertip thrust, engulfing all the Five Vile Qi into his body. A beam of Sword Light, laden with thoughts of decay and the essence of decline, shot from his fingertip, penetrating the opposing hands and stabbing into Ji Jiji's body.

Then, with a sweep of the Sword Light, Ji Jiji was bisected.

Only at this final moment did Jiang Li fully unleash his strength, wielding the Demon Cleansing True Qi and thrusting with a lethal sword.

The bright yellow substance erupted from the split body, not yet falling when it turned into pure Qi. Jiang Li's eyes opened, intricate patterns appeared within them, transforming fingertips to claws, seizing the evaporating Qi Mechanism.

But at the same time, an uncontaminated and pure radiance flashed, charging straight into Jiang Li's brow, a vast and immense will surged toward the Sea of Consciousness.

"Yellow Heaven above!"

"With reverence to Yellow Heaven!"

······

Within that will, incessant praises echoed, devout calls resonating in Jiang Li's Sea of Consciousness, manifesting a vertical eye, rushing toward Jiang Li's Primordial Spirit.
