"At a distance as close as the horizon."
The distance of space extended infinitely. Though it seemed near at hand, the palm of the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole could never seem to grasp the Heavenly Mirror.
"Great Void Thunder."
Thunder raged intensely in the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole's eyes, with no intention of retreat. At the slightest thought, thunder roared, space cracked, suppressing the extension of space by force.
"Heavenly Gang in Hand."
Five fingers grasped, destructive power turned into thunder and exploded in the palm, the Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Thunders condensed entirely in one palm, as if acting on behalf of Heaven, blasting away all obstructions.
"Boom!"
The entire space where the Ziwei Hall was located was blasted into chaos, thunder roared, completely engulfing Jiang Li's location, while the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole had already stood before the Heavenly Mirror.
"Pangu Banner!"
Even with the mental state of the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole, he was indescribably excited by the Three Pure Dao Artifacts, impatiently wanting to take the Heavenly Mirror into his hand.
However, at this moment, a blurry blade shadow pierced through the thunder, with the ominous power of the End of Dharma raging wildly.
The blade shadow swept by, and the hand of the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole suddenly vanished, and the devouring void descended here.
At the same time, at the Eastern Extreme Land.
Emperor Yan sacrificed himself, merged with the East Pole Sky Pillar, using its power to block the End of Dharma Evil Soldier, forcing the Warlord to retreat for the first time. He further stirred the Power of the Sun, clashing with the Divine Evil, but unexpectedly, the vast Yang Qi of the Eastern Extreme Land suddenly came out of his control.
The Power of the Sun flowed like thousands of rivers into a sea, flying behind the True Body of the Jiuli Commander, no longer contending with the Divine Evil.
Heaven and earth suddenly transformed, space shifted, thunder appeared abruptly, fierce Thunder Light rampaged, forming a sea of Thunder Light in midair.
In the midst of the collision between the thunder and the Power of the Sun, Jiang Li stood suspended in the air, wearing the Emperor's Robe, floating behind the True Body of the Jiuli Commander. The converging Power of the Sun melded into Jiang Li's body.
The True Body of the Jiuli Commander, with a backhand, stabbed the End of Dharma Evil Soldier to wound the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole.
The space of the Imperial City Ziwei Hall and the Eastern Extreme Land overlapped, with Jiang Li's true body and the True Body of the Jiuli Commander located in the same space.
"Immeasurable."
Jiang Li slowly uttered these two words, using "Emperor Emerges from Zhen" to merge the two spaces. The Ziwei Hall was destroyed by thunder, but what appeared was no longer the scene inside the Imperial City, but the Eastern Extreme Land.
The arrival of the true body seized the Power of the Sun, and the Jiuli Commander's body suddenly collapsed, transforming into black flames, merging into the End of Dharma Evil Soldier.
Jiang Li stretched out his hand, and the End of Dharma Evil Soldier automatically adjusted to a suitable size, flying into his hand, while his left hand lifted slightly, with the Heavenly Mirror suspending over his palm.
The Ziwei Emperor Star and Gouchen Six Stars, flying out from within the True Body of the Jiuli Commander, were swept up by a mighty force, flying into Jiang Li's body. The Emperor's Aura surged, seemingly with the power to cover the universe, Jiang Li's gaze subtly shifted, the figures flickering in his right eye decreasing in number.
The fusion of the Dao Fruit had entered its final stage, the Ninth Grade to Fifth Grade Dao Fruits had been digested, and now, the Fourth Grade Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch Dao Fruit had also been disassembled and integrated.
The figure standing midair exuded an indescribable aura, encompassing all things and ever-changing.
[Second Grade Dao Fruit: Heavenly Emperor·Jiang Li]
[Category: Human, Divinity]
[Fitting Conditions: Omitted]
[Promotion Ceremony: Omitted]
[Divine Skills: Taiji, Taisu, Tai Shi, Human Emperor, Heavenly Emperor]
The characters for "Tai Chu" flickered vaguely, on the verge of forming and manifesting.
"Come."
Jiang Li's form transformed, the Yellow Emperor's Four Faces manifested, so whether it was the Emperor Yan or the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole, they could only see the front of Jiang Li.
"Defeat me, or be defeated."
Though both were formidable, their numbers could not play an advantage before Jiang Li. No matter from which direction they attacked, they could only see the front of Jiang Li, indicating only frontal assaults could be effective, leaving no room for trickery.
Jiang Li himself overlapped the space, eliminating the option for avoiding battle and escaping.
Neither the Emperor Yan nor the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole had a retreat, only advancing could offer a sliver of survival.
Jiang Li remained restrained by the other three strong powers, Shakyamuni Tathagata and The Queen Mother of the West even using Dao Artifacts for suppressing, greatly suppressing his power. This sliver of survival might not be out of reach.
The Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole was decisive, having already resolved to seize the Dao Artifact and become a Heavenly Venerate, he would not give up, nor entertain a thought of retreat at this moment.
As for the Emperor Yan, retreat had never been an option.
Both sides simultaneously focused, channeling power throughout their bodies, gathering Primordial Qi and will.
The power of the East Pole Sky Pillar was wholly unleashed at this moment, with the Emperor Yan using it to contest Jiang Li's control over the Path of Sun, transforming into a ball of Flame Light, coalescing into a Sun Wheel, ascending along the East Pole Sky Pillar.
The power of the sky pillar continuously poured into the Sun Wheel, and the creation ability of the Wa Emperor made the Emperor Yan seem to transform into another Sun Star, rising through the heavens.
On the other side, the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole, disregarding his severed hand, summoned thunder with his thoughts, rising from the vast sea of Thunder Light with a colossal Thunder Talisman, where the thunder world evolved within.
"Command!"
The Thunder Talisman descended, merging with the true body of the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole, accompanied by the roar of ten thousand thunders, manifesting a Thunder Giant God.
"Source of Ten Thousand Thunder."
The myriad thunders burst forth, splitting into countless thunder strikes, the thunder light dramatically transformed, evolving into mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, wind, fire, immortal gods… all things were represented within the thunder transformation, embodying the path of the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole.
Opening heaven and earth with thunder, transforming all things with thunder.
The ten thousand thunders burst forth, revealing the cycle of life and death.
The sun descended from high above, True Fire carried storms, an enormous celestial body exerting unparalleled pressure.
Both sides exhausted everything, propelling their extreme moves to launch a joint attack.
"Boom!"
The myriad thunders and the Great Sun simultaneously struck that figure in the sky, heaven and earth shattered, one side seeming to return to chaos, the other exploding into infinite blazing light.
Distinct anomalies, yet identical destruction, under the two-pronged attack, sudden changes arose.
The brilliant blazing sun abruptly reversed, the True Sun Fire cracked open, and the divine body of the Emperor Yan revealed within began to reverse, transforming from human shape back into the form of a three-legged Divine Bird.
This divine body was originally reconstructed by refining the remains of the Three-legged Golden Crow, transformed entirely by the Emperor Yan's creation ability into pure solar power, then reshaped into a human form.
Now, as if time flowed backward, the body of the Emperor Yan forcibly reversed back.
The mighty Power of the Sun burst backward, blasting out the Sun Wheel, impacting the East Pole Sky Pillar.
"Boom——"
The Sun Wheel exploded, the Golden Crow turned into fire.
Simultaneously, the End of Dharma Evil Soldier spewed blade awn, myriad blade shadows condensed into a void hole, space twisted into the form of an abyss, devouring all forms evolved by thunder.
Subsequently, the void blade shadow swept, blade awn pierced the sky, penetrating the sea of Thunder Light, piercing through the body of the Emperor of Longevity from the South Pole.
