The dark curtain stood like a towering mountain between heaven and earth, with nothing existing inside.

In the frontal collision, Jiang Li unexpectedly matched the Primordial Spirit of the Daoist Lord without yielding.

However—

The Daoist Lord's Primordial Spirit revealed its true form, while Jiang Li seemed unscathed, without any effect. This Taixu's Body was not damaged, all external forces neutralized.

The retreating figure twisted, transforming from human form into the Fuxi Daoist Body, though the scales and body remained pure white, even the dragon horns and hair appeared in shades of white.

The dragon-headed serpent-like shape resembled a twisting "Dao" character, flashing suddenly as it traversed the void, in an instant, it closed in again on the Daoist Lord.

Within the already translucent body of the Daoist Lord, pure Qi fluctuated, and almost simultaneously with the twisted Dao character's appearance, it launched a counterattack.

Water has no constant shape, adapts its form to the object.

No matter from where or how swift the incoming offense, the Daoist Lord's Qi would instinctively respond, even altering the body to defend. These seemingly simple eight words represented a kind of no-leak defense.

Even though Jiang Li had previously gained the upper hand, he couldn't succeed, intercepted by the Daoist Lord in time, due to this principle.

'But being able to block, doesn't mean being able to stop.'

Carrying the rolling clouds, the Fuxi Daoist Body directly collided with the most gentle and pure Yin Yang Qi, with a pair of old fists directly smashing into it, blasting apart the Yin Yang.

Magnificent and straightforward, without embellishment, overcoming ten kinds of skill with sheer force.

Even with the Daoist Lord's lofty Realm, at this moment, there was an undeniably difficult sense of ordeal.

To a certain extent, Jiang Li's Taixu's Body was quite similar to [Daoism Rules the World], pulling the opponent down to the same level. The Taixu's Body made most moves difficult to perform, ultimately developing into a confrontation of sheer force.

Jiang Li's dual fists blasted apart the Yin Yang Qi, the serpent's tail swayed through the air, fist edges clashing, pounding onto the Daoist Lord's defending and blocking palms again.

In an instant, the Qi around the Daoist Lord's Primordial Spirit gathered, yet it was still shocked by the fist's edge, causing the space to collapse, revealing a void, a figure flew backward from the Daoist Lord's Primordial Spirit, directly for dozens of feet.

And in the original place, the Daoist Lord's Primordial Spirit slowly extinguished, swallowed by the void.

"To have split my consciousness and Primordial Spirit."

The figure thrown back was also in the image of the Daoist Lord, but it appeared like a phantom, intangible, poised to dissipate at any moment.

No, it was already dissipating.

With this strike, Jiang Li shattered the substance of the Daoist Lord's Primordial Spirit, blasting the fundamental Essence Qi, leaving only the consciousness to withdraw.

"In this world of supreme power, there will surely be a place for you, Fellow Daoist, eventually."

The Daoist Lord sighed, and that figure in mid-air completely dissipated.

One of the world's six powerhouses, the Daoist Lord, had his Three Pure Ones Primordial Spirit scattered today by Jiang Li.

"Just an individual Primordial Spirit forced me to use the Taixu Tao, the Realm of Ultimate Power is still somewhat distant from me." Jiang Li heard the Daoist Lord's words, and spoke calmly towards the now empty space.

Even just one Primordial Spirit possessed power comparable to Jiang Li's, imagine the combined power of the Three Pure Ones Primordial Spirit along with the Daoist Lord's body.

No matter how much of a cheat Jiang Li was, he had to admit that the Daoist Lord's power was stronger now.

At the very least, he had consumed a century's worth of spiritual mechanism, while Jiang Li was just over twenty years old full count.

Just thinking about it reduced the thrill of punching an old head a lot.

The Old Man Ao tactic, which had long been effective, was essentially ineffective against the Daoist Lord, truly getting into a fight, Jiang Li might be the one who gets beaten to death.

Because his [One-foot Hammer] was nullified by [Daoism Rules the World].

[No, that's not right!]

[It's not nullified, the Karma Collection allows me to attest once and attest forever, passive Divine Skills are theoretically difficult to nullify. Just like last time, I relied on the Karma Collection to maintain part of the Divine Skills.]

The Karma Collection suddenly began to swiftly refresh the text, displaying the storm of thoughts in Jiang Li's mind.

During the previous intense battle, Jiang Li had no time to think, he only thought it was because the last time the Daoist Lord mainly opposed the Awakened, he was just incidental, thus he could maintain some Divine Skills.

But thinking about it now, he noticed something wrong.

At the very least, the level of the Karma Collection surpassed the Third Grade Dao Fruit. Even if the Dao Fruit of the Elder was noble, it shouldn't render the Karma Collection's ability ineffective.

Unless······

'It's not nullification, but suppression. My Divine Skills did not fail on me, they were suppressed. Because in essence there was no regression, so [Daoism Rules the World] did not conflict with the Karma Collection's "binding causality, attesting once and forever".'

A different thought emerged in Jiang Li's mind.

[Daoism Rules the World but unseen as a ghost] not only has one effect but also possesses another ability. These two abilities combined led to Jiang Li losing the support of all his Divine Skills in an instant.

Since his emergence, the Daoist Lord has existed for hundreds of years, [Daoism Rules the World] known throughout the land, yet no one had realized that this Dao Fruit Divine Power had two abilities.

Even now, Jiang Li dared not claim full understanding of [Daoism Rules the World].

The reason the Karma Collection failed to take effect was found, but why the Divine Farmer's Cauldron was ineffective puzzled Jiang Li endlessly.

Could it be that the Daoist Lord's Elder Dao Fruit is not of the Human Species?

But this should not be the case.

Jiang Li did not understand the Category of the Elder Dao Fruit, but how could an Awakened, one who penetrates causality, not know? With the Awakened's ability, even if they haven't truly deciphered the Elder Dao Fruit's nature, recognizing which Dao it belongs to shouldn't be a problem.

"The [Primordial Human] Divine Skills couldn't take effect for some reason, even if I embraced the Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit, against the Daoist Lord, I fear I can only rely on the Taixu Tao to contend."

Jiang Li looked at the wounded landscape, speaking in a low voice.

These old folks are indeed not simple, and of these, the old among old, the Daoist Lord, is even more so.

Even if Jiang Li defeated one Primordial Spirit of the Daoist Lord, he had to admit the Daoist Lord's depth is unfathomable.

······

······

Yong Province.

On the yellow land where sand and stones flew, a strong Green Bull was leisurely carrying a Daoist, walking slowly.

The Primordial Spirit of the Daoist Lord had long been waiting for Jiang Li thousands of miles outside Kunxu Mountain, but his body was riding the bull, showing no urgency at all as he walked.

At some moment, the Daoist on the bull's back suddenly sensed something, looking towards the direction of the west.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang's progression is indeed surprising, even this poor Daoist couldn't stop him. Originally··· thought it would be the Awakened who intervened, lending Fellow Daoist Jiang a hand..."

The Daoist Lord spoke softly, his words implying that he never really expected to successfully stop Jiang Li from the start.

The Awakened's accomplishments in the Way of Cause and Effect had been grasped by the Daoist Lord a hundred years before, and no matter how many years had passed since then, he didn't doubt the Awakened's capability.

Even if the Daoist Lord's Causality Line was shielded by himself, Jiang Li's causality immeasurable, with the Awakened's discernment, they would definitely have pre-arranged assistance, ensuring Jiang Li's smooth entry into the Buddha Country.

As it stands now, the Daoist Lord's expectations did not come as a surprise, only the process produced significant astonishment.

"No matter, the result is good overall. The Third Grade Emperor Yan's Dao Fruit finds it hard to resist this poor Daoist's Divine Power. Fellow Daoist Jiang, you should now lean towards another choice."

That other suitable Third Grade Dao Fruit for you—the Emperor Dao Fruit.

If the incomplete [Primordial Human] Divine Skills cannot withstand [Daoism Rules the World], then resisting with force is not without merit, isn't it?
