If the Drought Demon Ba had left descendants, both of them would have had to guess whether they carried the blood of the Emperor's daughter.
However, at this mont, the Drought Demon Ba's attention was not on Tianxuan and Master of Rain. After forcing the two to retreat, she traversed the air and appeared before the gigantic Sword Peak, reaching out to touch the stone sword body.
Not knowing why the Emperor Jiang had yet to take action, but at this mont, she couldn't care less. Everything revolved around the Xuanyuan Sword.
Moreover, even if Emperor Jiang were to make a move, soone else would take the hit for her.
In a flash of thought, her fingers touched the stone sword body, almost instinctively extracting Essence Blood, transforming it into Primordial Qi, and sending it into the Xuanyuan Sword.
A scarlet glow seeped into the surface stone skin, and the blood energy simply rged into the Xuanyuan Sword.
However...
An invisible repulsive force pushed the Drought Demon's hand away.
"Impossible!"
The Drought Demon's brows furrowed, Evil Qi rising.
The Xuanyuan Sword had rejected her, the Emperor's daughter!
"I do not believe it!"
Her hand, carrying blood energy, forcefully touched the sword again, as Essence Blood belonging to the Drought Demon tried to rge into the sword.
Although her body was of the Ji Family's East Sun Princess, through eight hundred years of sacrificial cultivation, it had long beco the body of the Drought Demon. Moreover, for true great divine powers, the bloodline connection is not just established through physical bodily kinship but lies in the True Spirit.
Refining a corresponding physical body with special Essence Blood is not difficult for those skilled in creation. If kinship were determined solely by bloodline, the Yellow Emperor wouldn't know how many tis he'd unknowingly beco a father through the ages.
The True Spirit Blood of the Drought Demon undoubtedly transmitted her identity to the Xuanyuan Sword, even capable of triggering the Emperor Huang Dao Fruit.
Even if the Yellow Emperor's True Spirit had not awakened, she should not have been rejected.
But ultimately, she was rejected.
Even infusing more Essence Blood did not elicit a response from the Xuanyuan Sword to the Emperor's blood.
With disbelief, unwillingness, and discontent flashing across the Drought Demon's face, her actions did not cease, yet to no avail.
"Even the Yellow Emperor's daughter cannot gain recognition from the Xuanyuan Sword?"
A voice suddenly rang out, deepening the Drought Demon's Evil Qi.
"It seems the Xuanyuan Sword is not deliberately targeting Us."
Upon these words, a scene as if traversing the river of ti flashed before her eyes.
She saw a figure standing above the Xuanyuan Sword, ordering the gigantic Sword Peak, and issuing a Heavenly Decree.
"To sense the Emperor Huang Dao Fruit, one must first see Us through Divine Intent."
Consciousness suddenly fluctuated, as if an Invisible Power was trying to forcibly extract the Drought Demon's Divine Intent from her body.
In later legends, the Drought Demon is the ancestor of zombies, but these legends arose due to changes over ti and are misinterpretations. The true Drought Demon is not a low-level corpse monster like a zombie.
However, the Drought Demon's category is similar to zombies, as both are classified as Monster Clan.
The Drought Demon Dao Fruit simultaneously possesses both Divine and Monster attributes, transcending humans as Divinity and being unfathomable as Monster. Its form of existence is entirely different from normal life, with Divine Soul and Physical Body completely fused, with the body firmly holding and protecting the Divine Soul.
At this mont, Jiang Li's divine skill took effect. Although the Drought Demon was caught off guard, she imdiately steadied her mind, resisting that mysterious power.
Her Divine Intent forcibly remained in her body, simultaneously sensing...
The adversary!
From an infinitely high place, from the Divine Capital, from the Void, the Drought Demon simultaneously sensed a pull from three places.
At the sa ti, three gazes from vastly differing directions ca, and in a trance, she seed to see three identical faces and three large hands reaching out to grab her, to pull her Divine Intent in three directions.
Space lost its aning at this mont, and the disparity in power was quite imnse.
This Emperor Jiang... this Jiang Li... his power surpassed the previous encounter, far surpassing the full strength of the Drought Demon.
Even the legendary Heavenly Maiden Ba could not match Emperor Jiang in this era.
Compared to the Jiuli Clan of the past, the current Emperor Jiang certainly isn't on par, but this era is not ancient. For the Drought Demon to return to her past pri, she might need the Primordial Qi of Emperor Jiang.
"Slash!"
The Drought Demon wielded the sword again, Fla Light enveloping countless wailing figures, slashing into the Void with a sword style for conquest, aiming to cut the Invisible Power with an extre killing force.
The gaze seed to split, the spatial distance pierced through, and within the perception of Divine Intent, no longer three faces but a single figure.
Three rged into one, Jiang Li's figure appeared in the mysterious void, slowly raising his right hand...
The intent of this Slaughter Sword halted before Jiang Li's neck.
The sword tip materialized from the Slaughter Sword Intent was gently held between Jiang Li's fingers, abruptly stopping before his neck.
"What a move of Slaughter Sword."
Blood oozing from his finger and burnt marks stained between his fingers, Emperor Jiang praised, "Emperor's daughter, you have wounded Us."
The manifested blood signified a wound of the Divine Intent, and this intent of the Slaughter Sword had indeed affected Jiang Li's Divine Intent.
But it only reached this point.
When Jiang Li's voice reached Drought Demon's ears from a distance, annihilation descended from the Void itself.
Space split open with a ferocious rend, like a sharp blade, seeking to slay the Drought Demon, while the aura of All Heaven Divine Sha swept through the mind, infinite destruction exploding like thunder within her heart.
The Drought Demon retreated!
She transford into a Fla Light and retreated hastily across the sky.
Jiang Li had long prepared, only holding back to see if the Drought Demon could awaken the Xuanyuan Sword. Now seeing the result, he naturally no longer watched, moving directly to attempt to retain the Emperor's daughter.
The Drought Demon certainly knew Jiang Li's intention, thus decisively withdrew, but annihilation remained inseparable, catching up with her in an instant.
The sky suddenly turned dark, and Divine Evil surged across the sky.
But just then, the sky do underwent a startling change, with Primordial Qi descending from the sky, covering the Drought Demon, a Great Sun suddenly manifesting, suspended in the sky, clashing with the All Heaven Divine Sha.
"Boom!"
Fiery light like flas, carrying the furious intensity of the blazing sun lting gold, yet also borne with the vitality nurturing all things, like Innate Qi, violently collided with the All Heaven Divine Sha.
A radiant light swept across the sky, imdiately followed by a sweep of darkness, the Great Sun Light and Divine Sha obliterating the impending sonic boom, even causing the Primordial Qi to be annihilated in the collision.
The Sun Wheel dissipated, revealing a majestic figure standing in the sky, blocking the Divine Sha for the Drought Demon.
"Great Heavenly Venerate."
Stepping out from the rift in the empty sky, Jiang Li's gaze fell upon the other, showing a tinge of amazent, "Is this the Dao Fruit of the Deity of the Sun?"
This Great Sun was indeed from the Dao Fruit of the Deity of the Sun.
This Dao Fruit was not contained by the Great Heavenly Venerate but carried by the Investiture of the Gods, manifesting with power rivaling the All Heaven Divine Sha in the hands of the Great Heavenly Venerate.
Through this insight, if the Deity of the Sun's Dao Fruit can exert such power with the support of the Great Heavenly Venerate, what about the rest of the Dao Fruits within the Investiture of the Gods?
This Investiture of the Gods is not only capable of converging the powers of the Dao Fruits for suppression and defense but also of bringing out the characteristics of each Dao Fruit.
Speaking solely of effect diversity, it might be the foremost Divine Taoist Tool.
Jiang Li was astonished, and actually, the Great Heavenly Venerate was too.
He gazed at Jiang Li, but his pupils reflected three figures simultaneously, "I see. No wonder you were able to gain [I am the State] divine skill support in Heaven, so you have practiced the 'One Qi to Three Pure Ones'."
One self in the Divine Capital, one in Heaven, Jiang Li was still within the borders of the Great Zhou Country, naturally obtaining divine skill support.
One must admit, this is a miraculous technique to resolve the limitations of [I am the State].
Although actually, it was far from Jiang Li's thod of dealing with it...
It was this single discovery upon their eting that led to a delicate misunderstanding of Jiang Li by the Great Heavenly Venerate.
And hearing the words of the Great Heavenly Venerate, Jiang Li naturally wouldn't clarify for him, as this was precisely leading the Great Heavenly Venerate to a particular conjecture.
'The existence of the Karma Collection cannot yet be exposed.'
