One by one, the illusory blue butterflies flew back into Jiang Li's body as he gripped the Battle Halberd in his hand, feeling a violent surge of blood qi entering his body. The Dragon Claw twisted the Battle Halberd, mashing King Shu's corpse into an unrecognizable pulp of flesh and blood.

He was performing a sort of postmortem cesarean section on King Shu.

The blade of the Battle Halberd stabbed into King Shu's abdomen, touching another body within, as the blood light tore through the oppressing aura and dragged out the figure that was about to advance to the status of Human King.

Gushing blood flowed along the sharp blade, and the Battle Halberd, like a bloodthirsty beast, absorbed the blood.

Suddenly, the Battle Halberd swung downward, tearing open a vertical gash that ran from chest to abdomen, with the blood-red aura swirling around the shaft of the halberd as it cleaved downward.

The faceless figure did not hesitate to shift from solid to intangible, twisting away rapidly into a distorted form, yet the Battle Halberd seemed to penetrate the boundary between reality and illusion, ripping a crack through the distortion.

Blood-red aura entwined around the fissure, with liquid pouring out, stained by the blood qi, flowing down like streams of blood.

Above, King Shu's corpse forcefully shifted position, leaving trails of drip- ping blood in mid-air. Through the torn opening, one could still see the contorted body inside. The wound was already wide enough for King Shu to leave his body, but at this moment, he no longer wished to come out.

"Tianxuan."

The hollow voice echoed, with the invisible distortion lingering around, "Tianxuan, this junior, she actually gave you the Sealing Technique. She dared to hand over the Magic Door to you."

The Military God's Five Weapons were sealed by both the Ji Family and the Jiang Family; this Battle Halberd, suppressed beneath the Golden Dam, was sealed by the Ji Family. Naturally, only the Ji Family possessed the Sealing Technique.

The reason Jiang Li could unseal it was not due to any outstanding intellect that enabled him to break the seal in a short time, but because he had known the Sealing Technique from the start.

It was Tianxuan who had given Jiang Li the Magic Door, allowing him to use it at a critical moment.

"Correct answer."

With the Dragon Claw holding the Battle Halberd, Jiang Li's figure walked through the air, emerging from the fuzzy light and shadow, transforming again to grow three parts taller, his hair like battle halberds, his skin ancient bronze, and two crimson horns growing on his head, taking shape as they reached skyward.

Chi You Phase.

The power within the Battle Halberd seemed endless, pouring into Jiang Li's body, with the icy cold killing intent moving around him like blade edges, tearing through flesh and blood while bringing surging essence energy.

One of the Five Weapons, meant to be sealed forever, had fallen into Jiang Li's hands, to be unsealed, and its power was now fully integrated with Jiang Li.

Yin Tulong had once wondered why a fifth-rank like Jiang Li came here; now, the answer arrived.

Not only because Jiang Li's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary fifth-rank, but also because he held the key to unsealing. Should the Golden Dam truly fail, the subdued one of the Military God's Five Weapons must emerge, and Jiang Li would use the Magic Door to unseal it, leveraging the Divine Weapon with his Divine Farmer's appearance and the Warlord Technique.

This was the trump card Tianxuan entrusted to Jiang Li.

Previously, while Jiang Li appeared to engage Ji Jiji in open conflict, in secrecy he used "Outer Object Transformation" to take form and intruded into the large cauldron, contacting the sealed Battle Halberd.

Although Ji Jiji was powerful, he couldn't be distracted in his fight with Jiang Li. King Shu, on the other hand, lost his connection when his corpse left the cauldron and also didn't expect Jiang Li to know of the Battle Halberd's existence or possess the technique to unseal it.

Tianxuan, the Family Head of the Gongsun Family, proved utterly irresponsible in her role as head, revealing such secrets to Jiang Li, even sharing the Sealing Technique.

Just thinking about it filled both Ji-born individuals with fury.

It wasn't about family honor, but rather Tianxuan's reckless actions had set a trap for them. And they, limited by their preconceptions, had assumed such critical secrets would never be disclosed.

Even if Tianxuan had taken Jiang Li as her disciple, and even planned for Gongsun Qingyue and Jiang Li to marry, she shouldn't have disclosed everything so freely.

Treating him as if he were more than just a son-in-law, as if he were her own child.

Having lived for so many years, with both of their ages combined exceeding four hundred, this was the first time they had witnessed such a situation. Today, they truly had their eyes opened.

Although the price of this revelation was a reversal of fortunes, with their own side sustaining damage.

"Kill!"

Endless intent to kill boiled within him, surging into his brain, as if in the faint distance he could hear the gruesome sounds of slaughter, the relentless collision of weapons. The pervasive aura of death brought clarity to Jiang Li's mind, snapping him out of his previous overthinking state.

His Divine Skill "Carefree Travel" enabled him to remain unaffected by any external force, to be free in spirit, while "Unity" allowed Jiang Li to quickly connect with the Battle Halberd, mastering the Soldiers of the Military God.

"Kill!"

Jiang Li's body floated in midair as he bellowed furiously, his killing intent enveloping the sky and earth in a sea of blood-red, as if transforming the four directions into a blood-colored world. Behind him stood the image of a bull-headed Demon God with four eyes and four arms.

With a sweep of his halberd, he executed grand, sweeping motions, filling the space above and below with a lethal aura and intent. Jiang Li's very essence, energy, and spirit were all condensed within the battle halberd, cleaving with a blade of blood-light that split heaven and earth.

It seemed as if the world itself would crack under this strike, heaven and earth torn in two, the invisible distortion, as though squeezed out, took the form of a human figure and directly intercepted the blood-light blade.

"All Heaven Divine Sha!"

Ji Jiji shouted, "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

The Military God's Five Weapons sealed the Warlord Dao Fruit that had been split, and unlike the Dao Fruits within the Divine Farmer's Cauldron and the Ochre Whip, it could not be borne and contained by a person. Unless the Five Weapons were gathered, the Warlord Dao Fruit could not possibly manifest in the world.

But just because the Dao Fruit could not be used didn't mean the weapon itself couldn't be used.

The Military God's Five Weapons, just like Chi You's weapons, were handed down from ancient times. They were by no means ordinary and had been elevated even further in power after bearing the Warlord Dao Fruit. Although not quite at the level of a Second Grade Daoist Artifact, they definitely ranked as third grade.

At this moment, as Jiang Li spurred the battle halberd, its malicious power threatened to reach the heavens and earth, looming as if to endanger even fourth-rank practitioners.

"Observe the Heavenly Dao, execute Heavenly Action,"

Ji Jiji's form likewise grew several inches taller, his faceless visage finally revealing a pair of nearly colorless eyes that were cold and profound. Numerous small specks of light flashed like eyelashes, "Aid me!"

Almost without thinking, the Thunder God and Lightning Mother channeled True Qi into Ji Jiji's body, merging with him.

Ji Jiji pointed to the heavens and traced the earth, invisible light spanning all directions, piercing through heaven and earth, confronting the blood-light blade and colliding fiercely.

"Boom!"

An immense shockwave erupted, causing the blood-red sky and earth to nearly collapse. The stratum above blasted open, and torrents surged in, dyed crimson by the blood Qi.

The stone chamber below the Golden Dam crumbled, rocks booming, and the surrounding strata all collapsed.

"Yin Tulong."

Jiang Li emulated, shouting at the same time, as the little Daoist in battle armor skated through the air on the Wind and Fire Wheel, performed a Golden Rooster Standing solo stance on Jiang Li's shoulder, connecting his True Qi with Jiang Li's.

Innate Qi blended perfectly with the external force, blood-light radiated from the four eyes of the bull-headed demon god behind Jiang Li, who let out a earth-shattering roar as if it had its own life, stepping forward.

In front of him, Ji Jiji's stature soared to several zhang high, his face branching into four facets, transforming into the image of a four-faced Emperor, his vast Qi mechanism forming an Emperor's Robe, supremely divine and holy.

The Yellow Emperor's Image.

The most fundamental dharma body from the "Form Tomb" manifested by Ji Jiji, as the bull-headed demon god and the four-faced emperor advanced simultaneously, both explosively striking out.

The bull-headed demon god grasped a halberd in its palm, sweeping it across, the cries of ghosts and howls of gods echoing within the blood-colored world, an endless killing intent sweeping out like a long rainbow.

The Yellow Emperor's Image formed a sword from Qi, a sword that met the challenge, as the sun, moon, and mountains and rivers manifested together, all crashing down.

"Boom!"

The blood-colored world collapsed at that moment, rock layers fractured, and structures crumbled one after another. The Qi force transformed into a destructive storm, sweeping outwards, twisting the deluge into a water tornado. Everything before it was shredded, submerged, gradually erased within the tempestuous vortex.

And in that moment—

"Caught you."

The vertical pupils like the sun and moon appeared, their gaze piercing through even the destructive storm, the massive pupils rotating, their sight cutting through the storm, falling upon the gradually fading image of the Yellow Emperor.

"My old friend, we have been spiritually connected for so long, yet it's a pity we've never met. Today presents a rare opportunity, so why the hurry to leave?"

Behind the dragon pupils, the voice of the Great Venerable echoed, a dragon claw piercing through the storm, descending slowly yet rapidly.

"'In life, we never cross paths, like the stars Altair and Vega.' Great Venerable, like Altair and Vega, it is not yet time for us to meet."

Ji Jiji's voice, barely audible, carried through the air, growing more distant, as if he were swiftly moving away.

"What a joke! You think you can escape from me? Come to me now."
