Chapter 275: Chapter 211: One Punch Shatters the Great Void, Freedom Through Myriad Tribulations
"The Everlasting Heavenly Lake..." The Jiao head drew a sharp breath. "You’re the Daoist of the Upper Sect!"
The Jiao head’s eyes widened, as if in disbelief.
Jiang Yi paid it no mind. He was quite far from Ji Fuyao, who stood upon an auspicious cloud, making no move to use any Daoist Skills.
Knowing that the "Unified Upper Yuan Immortal Barrier" could negate the Five Elements, he immediately retracted the Bing Ding Fire and formed a hand seal, activating the Weinan Qi Water Magical Flag.
In an instant, a gale began to swirl, and water vapor from all directions gathered into a surging river!
The wind qi in this extreme altitude was already rich, especially with the clusters of shimmering essence that resembled hailstones. Now, absorbed by the magical flag, it transformed into an even more torrential current!
But with a flash from the immortal barrier, the rushing river was frozen solid, shattering with a series of CRACKS. It didn’t even touch Ji Fuyao’s imperial cloak.
’Negates all Five Elements. It truly lives up to its name.’
Jiang Yi focused his Divine Sense and brought out the Dense Cloud Nine Smoke Barrier.
This Magical Artifact unfurled, releasing layers of ink-black Dense Qi. It enveloped Ji Fuyao in a heavy, baleful aura—this was not a Five Elements spell, but a pure trapping technique using baleful yin energy.
Ji Fuyao raised an eyebrow. He still didn’t move, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes as a beam of white light, condensed like a sword, shot out from between his eyebrows. It was the True Determination Supreme Immortal Light.
Wherever the immortal light passed, the billowing Dense Qi from the Dense Cloud Nine Smoke Barrier disintegrated and scattered. The Magical Artifact itself even began to hum, nearly shattering.
’It shatters all techniques, even able to destroy baleful yin energy.’
Jiang Yi understood. This was the power of Ji Fuyao’s second immortal skill.
After several consecutive attacks failed, he felt no fear. Instead, his will to fight only grew stronger.
His Divine Sense suddenly merged with his golden nature, causing his form to solidify and become substantial.
The next moment, Jiang Yi put away all his Magical Artifacts and activated his second Dao Embryo. The essence blood of a Dragon Child flooded his limbs and bones as a brilliant radiance erupted from his body, gathering into a dazzling ring.
He threw a punch with the force to shatter mountains at Ji Fuyao—since Magic Skills were useless, he would test the Rui Xiao Shangshi Immortal Body with his own physical might!
Seeing Jiang Yi lunge down to kill, Ji Fuyao finally moved.
He raised a hand to block. His palm collided with Jiang Yi’s fist, producing a deafening CLANG of striking metal.
Jiang Yi felt an irresistible force surge through him. His bones and tendons hummed as if he had suffered a massive blow, and he was sent flying backward, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth.
Looking back at Ji Fuyao, he was completely unharmed. His white-feathered imperial cloak remained spotless.
’Impervious to water and fire, with the strength to shoulder mountains. This Immortal Body is truly formidable.’
Jiang Yi stabilized himself and wiped the blood from his lips. He had now experienced all three of the immortal skills.
’At the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, I truly can’t beat this Emperor. But if I can gather the Water Below Kan and complete the Six Harmonies Great Medicine, I might not be without a fighting chance!’
Master Lu had already made it clear that the Water Below Kan could only be produced by treading into peril. This Immortal Dao Emperor before him was the most difficult "Kan"—the greatest obstacle—to overcome!
With a flicker of his body, Jiang Yi charged toward Ji Fuyao again, deliberately placing himself in peril.
His Innate Fire Virtue Body merged with his Dao Embryo, and the Bing and Ding Fire transformed into a long blade of flame that slashed directly at the Immortal Dao Emperor’s face.
Perhaps because he was closer, killing intent erupted in Ji Fuyao’s eyes. His voice was ice-cold as he spoke:
"The Dragon Child is a manifestation of my Great Dao. If you do not yield at once, death is your only path."
The True Determination Supreme Immortal Light shot out once more, instantly dispersing the long blade of flame. Its momentum undiminished, it grazed Jiang Yi’s shoulder, leaving behind a ghastly wound so deep the bone was visible.
Had it been a Qi Cultivation Cultivator who had not undergone Body Refining, their Cultivation Furnace would have instantly collapsed.
Intense pain shot through him, but instead of alarm, Jiang Yi felt a surge of joy—the wisp of Essence Qi roaming within his Inner Mansion was indeed growing more agitated, like a seed about to break through the soil.
’So "treading into peril" really is the secret to gathering the Water Below Kan.’
Jiang Yi ignored the wound on his shoulder, circulating his Magical Power to suppress the pain. He once again brought out the Weinan Qi Water Magical Flag, this time directly devouring the vast astral winds and transforming them into a hundred long dragons!
Then, with another surge of Magical Power, he channeled Profound Light, and sixteen lifelike Fire Jiaos appeared, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
The wind fanned the flames; dragons soared and jiaos flew. The power of the Daoist Skill multiplied several times over, covering an area several miles wide!
Witnessing this scene, a look of utter shock appeared in the massive Jiao head’s eyes. ’Is this really something a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer can do?’
The blazing sun that was Ji Fuyao wavered violently, and even the Unified Upper Yuan Immortal Barrier, capable of negating the Five Elements, began to show signs of strain.
His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was finally getting serious. In a single breath, he unleashed seven beams of True Determination Supreme Immortal Light.
It was as if the Celestial Lord had swung a divine sword across the sky, spanning a thousand feet and annihilating every last wind dragon and Fire Jiao!
’As expected of the undefeated Ji Fuyao...’
The seven beams of immortal light wove into a net, sealing off heaven and earth.
Jiang Yi couldn’t dodge in time and took a direct hit, getting knocked back several miles.
If his golden nature hadn’t protected his Divine Sense, his very soul would have likely been annihilated.
At this moment, Jiang Yi was grievously wounded. His Divine Sense was failing, his physical form was disintegrating, and he had reached his absolute limit.
Yet, on the brink of such a critical pass, his perception became incredibly clear. After repeatedly treading into peril, the wisp of Essence Qi within him gushed forth like an ocean, washing through his entire body before finally coalescing into a single, crystal-clear, perfectly formed droplet!
With a soft PLOP, it fell into his Inner Mansion.
’The Six Harmonies Unite, the Great Medicine forms on its own!’
Jiang Yi’s Divine Sense plummeted, returning to his body.
He immediately activated his Technique, closed his eyes, and used the "Mixed Refining Origin, Commander of Ten Thousand Truths" section of his Qi Cultivation Chapter to merge the six types of Great Medicine!
Tai Yin merged with Tai Yin, refining into alchemical Lead and Mercury that roamed his Inner Mansion;
With a mere thought, he seized the Lead and Mercury, then captured the "Void Primordial Qi" and the "Spirit’s Core Essence."
These two Great Medicines seemed to be tempered by a blazing fire, tightly wrapping around the True Mercury and True Lead, causing them to radiate a brilliant golden light.
At first glance, it resembled a golden Daoist lotus taking root inside his body.
Following that, the "Fire that Fills Li" and the "Water Below Kan" harmonized with each other, transforming into a two-colored radiance that poured down to nourish the golden Daoist lotus.
’This Daoist... he’s actually using the Six Harmonies Great Medicine to condense his True Qi?’
A look of terror appeared on the face of the Jiao head in the highest heavens. It then looked toward the manifestation of Ji Fuyao, drawn out by the Qi Mechanism—this Immortal Dao Emperor, who had slain dragons and eliminated phoenixes, establishing a peerless legacy, had apparently only obtained five types of Great Medicine?
"The fortress of the Heart Spirit stands firm, repelling all external thieves. Legions of heresy and their ilk are ground into oblivion. The Dharma King abides in freedom, like a luminous pearl..."
Jiang Yi’s Heart Spirit stirred as he had a sudden epiphany. The Six Harmonies Great Medicine was merely a catalyst, used to connect the Six Harmonies of the heavens with the Six Harmonies of the body.
An unknown amount of time passed. He opened his eyes, and it was as if thunderbolts rolled within them, causing the ten directions to roar.
The condensation and nurturing of the Six Harmonies Great Medicine had brought about a world-altering transformation within his Inner Mansion. The golden Daoist lotus was now deeply rooted, swaying gently.
The boundless Spiritual Energy of the One Element contained within the Foundation Establishment Pill poured into him like the celestial river in reverse, all of it merging into the Daoist lotus.
’Form the "Pedicel of Life," then obtain the "Root of Nature." This is the union of life and nature, seizing all of creation for oneself. The Great Dao is achieved!’
Jiang Yi’s expression was serene. A vibrant Daoist aura surrounded him, swirling like mist and flowing like rosy clouds, enveloping his Cultivation Furnace.
The Six Harmonies Great Medicine had been refined. The next step was to condense the peerless-grade True Qi.
He opened his Primordial Gate and his Divine Sense leaped out. His Inner Mansion boomed as the Daoist lotus swayed gently. Myriad forms of Spiritual Truth surged in like a tide, grinding against the Spiritual Energy of the One Element.
Such an incomparably vast foundation of power was enough to make a Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer cultivator explode.
But with the Six Harmonies Great Medicine as a guide and having already formed the "Pedicel of Life," Jiang Yi felt not the slightest difficulty.
The surge of Magical Power was like a raging ocean crashing against the peak of Dragon Head Mountain, smoothing away countless serpents, Mangs, and jagged rocks.
A Profound Light spiraled into the sky, its endless brilliance illuminating the highest heavens. Millions of rays of light, condensed to their absolute limit, scattered the astral winds with immeasurable force!
If not for the restrictive formations on Dragon Head Mountain, this phenomenon would likely have been clearly visible from hundreds of miles away.
’Such a perfect and flawless Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer... even looking back tens of thousands of years, he is probably the only one!’
The Jiao head held its breath, waiting quietly for the peerless-grade True Qi to finish condensing.
It had thought it would be a long, arduous wait, but it saw Jiang Yi open his eyes and rise to his feet. The dense astral clouds that had lingered for millennia were swept away in an instant.
The youth in the aquamarine Daoist Robe had condensed his peerless-grade True Qi as naturally as water flowing into a channel.
As his Qi Mechanism spread out, the entire ancient Dragon Head Mountain began to shake violently, as if it were about to crumble.
In a few moments, it had swept out for several miles. The rivers and seas churned, and the serpents, Mangs, Jiaos, and Chis panicked as if the sky were falling and the earth were caving in.
Jiang Yi flicked his sleeve and laughed heartily, declaiming:
"A single punch shatters the Great Void;
Through myriad kalpas, freedom is attained.
Beyond a thousand sages, I let go my hand;
And turn to face the autumn of this land."
He stood proudly atop the peak and gently exhaled a breath of True Qi. Within it, the five qis roiled, commanding the four directions; auspicious colors flowed, and Yin and Yang shifted and transformed.
He raised his hand and grasped. Magical Power surged, condensing into the Bingding Crimson Divine Light.
Compared to when he was at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, the power of this divine light had skyrocketed, surpassing its former might by more than a hundredfold.
With a thunderous BOOM, the divine light shot forth. It directly pierced through Ji Fuyao’s Unified Upper Yuan Immortal Barrier, shattering the majestic image of the Great Sun into pieces!
