Yin Tulong had already grasped the Qiankun Ring, ready to strike downward, but upon hearing Jiang Li’s words, he changed the strike into a snare. Throwing out the Qiankun Ring, golden light ford a dazzling imprint, attached to the ring, casting towards the corpse of King Shu.
But before the Qiankun Ring could land, an invisible distortion had already manifested, and the silhouette of the Faceless God flashed by, with a surge of Flas bursting forth.
"Zhu Rong’s Dharma."
From a body as heavy as a Stone Statue transford into a tall figure covered in Scale Armor, a palm raised, and flas soared into the sky, turning into two Fire Dragons, colliding with the Qiankun Ring.
Boom!
The Qiankun Ring radiated golden light and struck the two Fire Dragons, dispersing them, but the explosion of the Flas also caused the Qiankun Ring to veer off course, crashing against the edge of the cauldron, ringing out with a resounding clang.
The earthen yellow large cauldron was struck, leaving a notch; it was no longer as immovable and Indestructible as before. At the sa ti, the Stone Chamber shook from above and below, robust Qi chanisms rolling from the top strata, with the sound of the river’s flow ringing clearly in one’s ears.
The migration of the Yu King Dao Fruit had already disrupted the surrounding area’s Wave Suppressing effect, and at this mont, with Elder Da Kun clashing with soone above, his Power, which could be likened to an Infinite Sea, let alone the ripples, was too much for the earth’s strata to bear.
Yin Tulong’s strike failed to find its mark; three fourth-rank acted imdiately to attack, trading blow for blow, willing to sustain injuries just to hold him down.
And Ji Jiji transford his palm into a blade, the Flas shaping into a Sword Gang, slashing across the waist of King Shu.
Bang!
Suddenly, sparks of electricity flickered in mid-air; it was Jiang Li who leaped up, swift as Thunder Light, arriving at the edge of the large cauldron. The cauldron, with a radius of three zhang and three chi, was spacious enough for Jiang Li to easily stand on its edge.
He stretched out his hand to draw in the corpse of King Shu, narrowly allowing the Fla Sword Gang to graze past, leaving a magnificent wound on the tumultuous water’s surface.
"Still not planning to give up?"
Ji Jiji reached out as well, and his palm covered in Scale Armor pulled in from the distance, gripping the corpse. The Gang Qi, intense as Flas, shrouded half of King Shu’s body, tugging against Jiang Li.
The tattered corpse, pulled by both sides, began to subtly change shape. From within, sounds bood, like that of a heartbeat. The corpse expanded and contracted intermittently, like a sack clothed in demons.
Hiss—
With the pull of the Fla Qi, a crack finally appeared in the corpse of King Shu. An unsurpassed majesty emanated from the gap, as if foreshadowing the ascent of a king.
"Gun perished and Yu ca to be, at a ti when the great flood disaster is approaching, it’s ti for King Yu to descend; this is the grand trend."
Ji Jiji stood at the other end of the cauldron, speaking indifferently, "Jiang Li, your Power is indeed beyond expectations, but now that the Yu King Dao Fruit has rged with King Shu, you cannot stop his ascension."
He manifested Zhu Rong’s Dharma, striking without restraint, while Jiang Li was hampered, cautious to prevent his own Innate Qi from damaging the corpse of King Shu, and still trying to stop the other’s destructive efforts.
White smoke above his head was nearly dense enough to form a fog; the frequent clashes of True Qi overloaded Jiang Li’s mind, making him feel like his brain was boiling over.
"You cannot stop ," a dry voice ca from the corpse of King Shu, yet it carried extre majesty. "No one can stop ."
As the voice faded, Jiang Li sensed the rising aura within the corpse, as the crack was slowly being pried open.
"Having presided over Shu County for many years, I have long been in communication with the Yu King Dao Fruit. Now that the Dao Fruit is incorporated into my body, no one can halt my ascension."
This usually modest Prince was now displaying an extre resoluteness, with an almost mad will to break free from his forr self.
Destroying the corpse would aid him, yet preserving the corpse also could not prevent King Shu from gradually struggling forth.
Having governed Shu County for many years, communicating with the Golden Dam to divert and release floods, battling Wuzhiqi fiercely unto Death, followed by a Great Venerable destroying the "Fish Mouth," which caused the Floods to surge.
His trajectory of life, flood control, Wuzhiqi, tragic death—all experiences of King Shu from Life to Death matched the legend almost perfectly. This made his fusion with the Yu King Dao Fruit undergo without any obstruction, smoother than ever before.
At the ti of his death, he was almost destined for success.
And now, the word ’almost’ could be removed as well.
In just a few breaths’ ti, the crack had widened to a certain extent. A majesty that seed to reign supre and a vast, broad aura leaked out, its re oppressive force causing Jiang Li’s body to sink.
Third grade, this was third grade!
Naturally, compared to Supre beings like the Great Venerable and the Emperor, it was still inadequate. But compared to the forr King Shu, it was a difference like that between Heaven and Earth.
The large cauldron was crumbling, with water leaking from the cracks, and the sound of the approaching Flood above grew louder and louder.
’Elder Da Kun’s Qi chanism, was it also one of the factors that prompted the migration of the Yu King Dao Fruit?’ Jiang Li felt a premonition in his heart.
Elder Da Kun was one of the strongest Devil Cultivators in the world today, and also a Water Demon. His Qi chanism was also promoting the hasty transfer of the Yu King Dao Fruit, desiring the birth of a Cultivator who could bear the Yu King Dao Fruit as soon as possible.
The stage had been set for quite so ti, and both friend and foe were actors upon it—including Wuzhiqi and Elder Da Kun.
It was difficult for Jiang Li not to suspect that King Shu and Wuzhiqi had an understanding from the very beginning.
Swoosh—
The roaring flood sound above, and the sound of water flowing in the large cauldron, seed to rge into one force. The cauldron cracked, symbolizing the collapse of the Golden Dam, and representing the unstoppable flood.
The edge of the cauldron beneath Jiang Li’s feet also showed fine cracks, which were rapidly spreading. The water in the cauldron gushed forth, its level quickly falling, revealing sothing strange within the large cauldron.
It was a long object covered in bronze rust marks, with a point like a spear tip and horizontal blades like those of a rusted Big Halberd, plain and even sowhat dilapidated.
However, beside this battle halberd, there was an unexpected presence.
It was a person, it was...
"Jiang Li!" Ji Jiji’s voice rose and fell with astonishnt.
Indeed, next to the battered battle halberd, beneath the forr water’s surface, an ethereal figure stood tall, already grasping the shaft of the halberd.
Without any warning, completely unexpected!
Perhaps only such a saying could describe Ji Jiji’s ntal state at this mont.
It was too unexpected, even more so than when Jiang Li previously used "One Qi Transforms Three Thousand" to force Ji Jiji to withdraw Star River Crossing the Sky.
"Surprised?"
The figure chuckled and then pulled the battle halberd out.
The large cauldron instantly collapsed, the cracks that had spread across its body turned into pieces that fell with a clatter, and the water within completely drained out.
Jiang Li and Ji Jiji simultaneously lost their footing, falling from thirty feet in mid-air. Almost simultaneously, they withdrew their tugs on King Shu’s corpse, abandoning the struggle for King Shu and each deploying their own techniques.
Ji Jiji returned to his original form of the Faceless God, his figure flashed, turning into an invisible distortion.
Jiang Li ford an array with a thought, the Array reerged, and in an instant, after a vast amount of calculation, it pried open the space with its arrangent, creating a similar yet different distortion.
Above the battle halberd, a large swath of distorted anomalies appeared, two different forces collided, and soon after, two figures erged.
One was the Faceless God, and the other was hidden behind the distortion, with only a vague shape visible, a Dragon Claw extended, imnsely strong, exuding mastery and domination, with a thousand streams of Qi Force simultaneously unleashed.
anwhile—
"Observe Heavenly Dao, uphold Heavenly Action."
An intangible radiance accompanied by Ji Jiji’s palm strike transford into a disk-like Taiji, confronting the thousand streams of Qi Force.
"Boom!"
The sound of explosion, Qi Force spreading horizontally, following the twisted space and tracing countless paths, the two figures shuddered at the sa ti.
Ji Jiji put away Star River Crossing the Sky. Despite severe exhaustion, he was still in a better state than before, while Jiang Li maintained his power at its peak. In this collision, the two imnse strengths recoiled against both parties, while the twisted space ford a vortex-like shape, ensnaring them.
"Cough!"
Enduring the backlash, the Dragon Claw trembled, Jiang Li coughed lightly, then, in a flash, converted Primordial Qi, the vitality of wood smoothing over the injury.
But at the sa ti, King Shu’s corpse in the air ca crashing down, with the weight of mountains, smashing towards Jiang Li.
An awe-inspiring Qi chanism enveloped him from above, Ji Jiji once again mobilized his technique, an array of stars arrayed.
"Heavenly Killing chanism initiates, moving stars and altering constellations."
With attacks from both sides, one restraining with domineering force, the other counterattacking with Heaven’s killing move, Ji Jiji’s exact Realm was still unknown, but this King Shu was only one step away from third grade. Even as a re restraint, the power was extraordinary.
Caught between the two sides, Jiang Li found himself in a perilous situation; if he were to counterattack King Shu, he might even help King Shu break free and advance to third grade.
In the blink of an eye, a chillingly fearso sharpness suddenly penetrated the twisted anomaly, and in an instant, a horrific murderous aura turned into red light, like a shooting star. A blood-red banner cut through the array of stars, piercing through the domineering force.
Jiang Li’s Dragon Claw reached down, seizing the teor-like red blood light in his hand, a thrust towards the sky, stabbing into the abdon of King Shu’s corpse.
"You so wish to co into this world, then I shall oblige you!"
Murder, killing intent, killing chanism, the will to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!
A blood-red, fiery halo enveloped the battle halberd, patches of rust were continuously peeling from it.
"You—"
"Military God’s Five Weapons! How could you possibly have broken the seal of the Military God’s Five Weapons! This is impossible, it shouldn’t be!"
From within King Shu’s corpse, a voice erged, shocked and horrified, and then a scream of pain followed.
The evil weapon, once sealed within the large cauldron, now unsealed, drank its fill of warm blood. The blood-red aura coiled like a serpent around the Dragon Claw and seeped into Jiang Li’s body, infusing him with a fierce aura of slaughter.
"You guess."
