Even the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, such an exceedingly fierce array, could not overco Jiang Li.
He stood in the darkened space, unable to see the sky above, only the murky waves below. The sinister wind and black mist threatened to devour spirits, while the Yellow River's turbid flow eroded Primordial Qi, yet it ultimately could not overco Jiang Li.
The Xuanwu King was both shocked and enraged.
He was astonished naturally by Jiang Li's strength, but enraged because he realized that he could not avenge Elder Da Kun with his own power.
No, it should be said that missing this opportunity for the Heavenly Monarch's promotion ant Jiang Li would almost certainly not fall into a perilous position in the future.
At that mont, the Xuanwu King let out a thunderous roar, accompanying his vigorous and wild bellowing. Prival Heavy Water transford into a surging tide, crashing towards Jiang Li, creating an imnse pressure that twisted the space within the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.
Upon realizing the terrifying nature of Jiang Li's strength, the Xuanwu King did not hesitate to exert himself fully, even though he assisted not the people from his side.
However—
"Bang!"
Just as Prival Heavy Water approached Jiang Li, it suddenly shattered, and True Water, condensed from an imnse volu of Water Spirit Energy, rapidly transford, reverting to the surging Water Spirit Energy.
Jiang Li stood amidst the crashing waves, as immobile as a mountain!
"The sacrificial cultivation of True Water could hardly approach him within a square foot, not... every move will disintegrate around him."
On the turtle shell of Xuanwu, an inexplicable Divine Intent flowed subtly, enabling the Xuanwu King to discern the truth. He loudly broadcast what he knew, letting others be aware of the situation, while manipulating the array to summon mighty turbid waves.
After the Xuanwu King took control, the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation opened up to him. During this period, its mysteries were studied a great deal, and he now operated the Great Formation more fluidly than Lingxuzi by a notch.
The turbid yellow waves crashed down, thick Dirt Evil Qi instantly infecting the Water Spirit Energy and reversing toward Jiang Li.
"Bang!"
Again, a loud noise rang out, and the gigantic wave was repelled by an invisible barrier.
This ti, the peculiar ability to disintegrate True Water did not surface, but still it could not overco Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's eyelids slowly lifted, his hand suddenly raising, he pushed his palm sidewards.
The trajectory, seemingly slow but truly swift, carried an effortless flow like the clouds and streams, with Primordial Qi naturally forming before his right palm, rudely blocking the murky flow. The turbulent stream shattered, revealing a stout snake tail at the back, where extre cold condensed, forming a massive spearhead that struck fiercely, yet could not surpass Primordial Qi by half an inch.
The clash generated a wild gust, sending Jiang Li's hair flying, yet the remaining power was always repelled beyond arm's reach.
Moreover—
Qi chanism transford, Taiji erging faintly, all power absorbed, then rebounded.
"Boom!"
The ice spear shattered, scales burst from the snake tail, a fountain of blood shot, instantly sustaining damage.
Although the Xuanwu King belongs to the top echelon below the Supre, he now faced defeat in this simple maneuver.
"Mixed Elent Golden Bowl."
The Xuanwu King let out a fierce cry, while Ji Suyun at the array's core unhesitatingly invoked a ray of golden light, penetrating layers of sinister wind and black mist towards Jiang Li.
That golden light in mid-air transford into a Golden Bowl, its mouth facing downwards, covering Jiang Li, an indistinct sense of delay adding weight upon Jiang Li.
It seed as if ti flowed backward, dissolving everything on his body, especially his cultivation.
Yet Jiang Li showed no intent of resistance, rely pushing his palm force outward, an unparalleled great strength grinding down fiercely, causing the Xuanwu King's snake tail to imdiately show signs of collapse.
Retreat!
Without hesitation, the Xuanwu King shrank into human form, fleeing swiftly, avoiding this seemingly mundane yet extrely terrifying palm.
But as he retreated, Jiang Li's figure too vanished like a bubble, only to reappear behind the Xuanwu King, launching another palm forward.
The Mixed Elent Golden Bowl was clearly unable to restrain him, having no effect at all. The so-called invulnerability to myriad techniques might simply be that.
Caught off guard by Jiang Li's shift in position, the Xuanwu King was already subject to another strike.
Simple and straightforward, devoid of any embellishnts, yet making the Xuanwu King sense a supre threat, he erupted with powerful Qi, revealing the Nine Palaces' pattern, ready to withstand.
"Buzz—"
Unlike prior tumult, this shock was deeper and more contained, yet appeared more terrifying. The dark ripples quietly crushed matter and Primordial Qi as they passed, leaving ruin in their wake.
The Nine Palaces' pattern vanished instantaneously, but behind them, the Xuanwu King's figure was absent, replaced by another who clashed palms with Jiang Li.
Heavenly Monarch!
In an instant, the Heavenly Monarch appeared behind the Xuanwu King, intercepting Jiang Li's palm.
Boundless Primordial Qi surged from his body, his palm carrying a Divine Evil capable of shattering myriad facets, firmly receiving the strike with extre destructiveness against extre force.
Dim ripples swept over both figures simultaneously, directly rging into the Heavenly Monarch's body at one point, automatically dispersing at a touch on Jiang Li elsewhere.
The Heavenly Monarch then shifted position, retreating dozens of yards to avoid the explosion of Taixu Cloud Qi, extending his hand gently to suppress the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation's turmoil.
Behind him, the Heavenly Realm reappeared, Yellow Clouds gradually parted, the Heavenly Palace erged abruptly, and countless divine shadows manifested, bowing toward the center.
The Heavenly Monarch's Promotion Ceremony is still ongoing, even after seven or eight days it hasn't ended. There's no other way, relying on shortcuts naturally cos with its flaws.
If the Heavenly Monarch could conquer the world, have the current Emperor offer sacrifices and worship, and then spread his Divine Power throughout the Three Realms, then the Promotion Ceremony might be completed in an instant.
The promotion of the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit is a typical example of being well prepared, the process is brief, much like an Emperor ascending the throne, all the intricacies are sorted out before the ascension is confird. Once confird as Emperor, everything else becos much simpler.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Monarch couldn't achieve that step, so he could only rely on ti to make up for it.
Jiang Li realized this point, and thus watched as the Heavenly Monarch held the ceremony, while he entered seclusion to complete his Divine Skills.
Until now—
"At this point, if you give up on ascending, the preparations you made for promotion will turn into a backlash and fall upon you," Jiang Li said calmly.
"So, you think I can't escape?" The Heavenly Monarch said with a similarly indifferent expression.
The Nine Curves Yellow River Formation is extrely dangerous, to break it in a short ti requires Jiang Li himself to take action.
Jiang Li breaks the formation, the army attacks, third-rank strong people invade Yangzhou, occupy the territory, allowing the "I am the Nation" divine skill to take effect.
If the Heavenly Monarch does not act, the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation will be broken, and there's an eighty-to-ninety percent chance the Xuanwu King will also die.
Jiang Li doesn't concern himself with etiquette or morality towards enemies; he has always been ruthless, kill if possible, overpower the weak if possible, definitely without any bad habits.
No matter how many third-grade people try to rescue him, Jiang Li, like the Heavenly Monarch, does not fear encirclent.
Thus, even knowing Jiang Li will not directly enter Yangzhou, the Heavenly Monarch cannot avoid battle and will surely act.
In the simple exchange of words, both of them are calculating the situation in their hearts and decisively responding.
Behind the Heavenly Monarch, a mirror-like surface as clear as the sky appears in their Heavenly Realm, with a vast flood erging alongside.
Jiang Li's brow center similarly bursts forth with Divine Light from the Divine Palace, forcing space to change with half of the Heavenly Mirror under Jiang Li's urging.
As Divine Light and the flood collide, space-ti changes, Heaven and Earth are reversed, array space is distorted by the Heavenly Mirror and their powers, and surrounding scenes drastically change.
In a flash, they transitioned from within the array space to a majestic mountain, wild winds howling, white clouds circling.
In another mont, the mountain transford into a waterfall, cascading down but interrupted by the aftermath wave.
Instantly again, the surroundings beca a deep sea, the Qi chanism stirring the currents, annihilating countless sea fish, shattering the earth at the seabed.
Molten lava pours out from the shattered seabed, space shifts, and the two directly entered a sea-bottom volcano, causing the volcano to erupt violently.
Similar to the anomalies that appeared before in their confrontation, but this ti it wasn't anomaly evolution; it was true spatial relocation.
In an instant, space shifted over ten tis, Yin winds and black fog once again appeared, unexpectedly returning to the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.
"Boom!"
The collision of powers surpassed the limits at this mont, world-shattering fluctuations once again distorted space, within the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, the dark space tore open like a curtain towards both sides, revealing a vast and boundless Sky Do, white-cloud-covered ground.
The violent fluctuations burst forth, shaking all directions, but curiously the surrounding changes weren't like before.
The aftermath that could cause mountains to sway, the earth to tremble, only stirred up Gang Wind here, unseen is the earth-shattering scene, nor space distortions.
Their figures, because of spatial changes, retreated to opposite sides, Jiang Li slowly lowered his right palm, halting the backward montum, the peculiar sensation under his feet raised his brow, then he noticed the disconnection of divine skill empowernt.
Jiang Li left the Great Zhou, nor was he within the Buddha Country.
He couldn't even sense the direction of the Great Zhou and Buddha Country's location.
"Is this your way of countering?" Jiang Li looked at the figure stopped hundreds of feet away.
Unable to detect the location of the Great Zhou, "I am the Nation" loses effect due to leaving ruled territory, causing power to decline, and even here space is extraordinarily stable, with Heavenly Monarch's obstruction, Jiang Li finds it difficult to escape using the Heavenly Mirror.
In contrast, the Heavenly Monarch's "Tri-legged Nine Provinces" remains unaffected, still able to empower him with strength.
"Indeed."
The Heavenly Monarch said faintly: "Finally, it's my turn."
While one wanes and another waxes, Jiang Li, already at a disadvantage in strength, is now further weakened.
Finally, it's Gongsun Qi's turn to win.
As the Heavenly Monarch said earlier, Jiang Li can win countless tis but can only lose once.
Now, it's the ti for Jiang Li to lose.
Away from the Great Zhou, Jiang Li couldn't personally stop the Heavenly Monarch's ceremony, Tianxuan and others aren't deficient, but in the Heavenly Monarch's eyes, they're no match, unable to prevent the ceremony.
In fact, should Jiang Li be killed first, the Great Zhou would fall into his hands, and the ceremony would instantly succeed.
Everything is reaching its end; two hundred years of plotting will succeed today.
"Wrong."
Jiang Li denied the Heavenly Monarch's words, "It is I who have finally caught you."
