The Jade Ruyi Dao Artifact sounded an alarm, the crisis of life and death was but a moment away.

"Outer Object Transformation."

The Dao Fruit Divine Power responded to the thought and materialized the notion within his heart, while Jiang Li deployed the Moluo Sword Manual, transforming illusion into reality.

Divine Skills, Cultivation Techniques, both executed simultaneously, Jiang Li's arms transformed into illusions, like thousands of hands and shadows, lotuses blooming in abundance, overlapping layers, but before the shadows of the arms dispersed, a strange laugh suddenly arrived.

"Gaga, gaga."

The bizarre and piercing laughter was like a mountain flood or tsunami that, within one tremor, shattered the layers of arm shadows, two large hands with coarse nails as if reaching out from the void, grabbed fiercely, seizing the body within the thousand hands and shadows.

Strength! Extreme strength!

Strength filled every inch of space, beneath the gigantic hands, no one could escape, accompanied by a grim laugh, two large hands brutally tore the figure apart.

But—

"Fake!"

The figure torn apart turned into nothingness, along with all the shadows of the arms, while the true body of Jiang Li, like a cicada shedding its shell, emerged from the torn figure, at the same time his arms trembled, reproducing thousands of hands, gathering them into one.

Turning illusion into reality, it is done by consuming Divine Essence, the embodiment of Divine Sense, requiring an equivalent amount of Divine Essence to be expended. However, Jiang Li, with "Qi Refinement to Spirit," quickly refined Divine Essence, and with "One-foot Hammer," replenished the consumption; as long as Qi was unending, so was Spirit, seemingly infinite.

The consumed Divine Essence was quickly replenished, and the pair of hands, which had gathered from the thousands, met Wuzhiqi's large hands.

"Boom!"

A gale whirled and the rocky platform beneath immediately cracked open with fierce crevices, in just an exchange, Jiang Li felt the tremendous force of the opponent, the zenith of all adversaries he had ever encountered, like a mountain unshakable, like the vast sea endless and inexhaustible.

Illusions burst forth from both hands, crushed easily as if they were decayed wood, Jiang Li only felt his arms surge with blood, his blood vibrated by the unrivaled strength, reversing its flow, his veins bulging, about to burst.

'Wuzhiqi's injuries, they've healed!' he keenly noticed this.

Wuzhiqi's injuries had, to say the least, recovered thirty to forty percent, the Great Demon's prowess was displayed in this single move, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.

"Eh."

Wuzhiqi, transformed into human form, also showed surprise, he had not expected his Strong Assault to not only be detected but even caught.

"Ga!"

At that moment, Wuzhiqi let out another sharp, simian screech, shaking Divine Soul and blood, tangible and intangible, hands growing green fur, the essence of True Water erupted, drawing on Jiang Li's blood to surge chaotically, his veins swelling.

This was the refined ability to control water, directly manipulating the opponent's blood.

Although Wuzhiqi's injuries had not healed completely, without transforming into a hundred-zhang demon body that dominated the heavens and the earth with violence, his Realm remained intact; two hundred years of cultivation had long allowed this old monster to wield the power to control water effortlessly.

With blood surging within, and Wuzhiqi externally exerting more Strength, the fierce aura emanated from the body, countless Demon illusions materialized in the breath, for a moment the sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling were incessant, the fierce aura overhead, the heavens and the earth seemed to darken.

Jiang Li's arms weakened, and he immediately retreated, but Wuzhiqi pressed on the advantage, stepping forward, shaking the mountains, his knee like a seal, fiercely pressing towards Jiang Li's chest.

Waves of tremors shook within his heart, Jiang Li felt an urge to laugh out loud in spite of everything, the sense of crisis brought by Wuzhiqi kept the Jade Ruyi constantly alarming.

But Jiang Li was as calm as still water, sensing the variations of Strength through the Great Grandmaster's near Dao-like realm while his thoughts fluctuated, mobilizing Divine Essence and True Qi to transform Qi and blood.

Nourishing Life Master!

Exhausting the principles of heaven and fulfilling the nature of the Dao, up to fate. Nourishing Life Master enabled Jiang Li to grasp heavenly principles and Dao nature, to use them for his own life, to apply the principles of heaven and earth to his body, to comprehend the profound principle of reducing excess and supplementing deficiencies, freely transforming the Three Elements.

The path of cultivation had steps like Refining Essence into Qi and Qi Refinement into Divinity, there were also methods of reversing essence energy to nourish essence with Qi, and even the concept of Three Elements Combined. But this direct transformation of Divine Essence into blood and Qi, and the perfect conversion among Essence, Qi, and Spirit, could only be achieved through Jiang Li's Dao Fruit Divine Power.

In an instant, Jiang Li's vitality surged, with his abundant essence energy even manifesting a red glow outside his body. Wuzhiqi's water control abilities were forcibly suppressed under this explosive increase in vitality, while Jiang Li exhaled and inhaled, his voice like a Dragon Roar, his arms turning into dragon scales, and he pushed down to catch Wuzhiqi's Knee Strike.

"Boom!"

The collision of Strength sounded like a large bell or drum; Wuzhiqi, faced with this block, lifted his knee and stomped down fiercely, causing another trample, emitting a sharp shriek, shifting his body's center of gravity to lunge forward with his shoulder.

The ferocity peaked in this instant, a giant ape's phantom shadow enveloping the human form, Wuzhiqi's head even faintly taking the shape of a monkey.

His quick change of tactics showcased the composure of a Martial Arts Grandmaster; although Jiang Li could see the traces, his circulation of vitality and Qi was a notch slower than Wuzhiqi's.

'I can't drag this out.'

The engagement was intense, as fast as an eagle in flight or a rabbit dashing, like lightning and flint, and in just a moment, Jiang Li felt the Great Demon's overwhelming strength, especially Wuzhiqi's unexpected rate of recovery, which surprised Jiang Li and prevented him from dragging out the fight so the others could capture him as if trapping a turtle in a jar.

At that moment, Jiang Li's thoughts raced, transforming the Three Elements once more, his vitality and True Qi converting into Divine Essence, with bright Divine Light emanating from his eyes, revealing the facial muscles and vascular patterns in the light.

Outer Object Transformation!

Where thoughts went, the intricate Array Map materialized in an instant, prying into space and creating ripples.

"Crack!"

Wuzhiqi's shoulder struck the Array Map, the concentrated Strength exploded, countless demon phantoms poured out like a deluge, creating fine cracks.

This collision was fierce and unmatched, splitting the Array Map and opening the space ripples. An indescribable force erupted at one point, and in an instant, the fractures appeared like shattered colored glass, then were violently smashed.

Nourishing Life Master!

Seizing the moment, Jiang Li once again transformed the Three Elements, True Qi bursting, "One Qi Transforms Three Thousand."

Multiple layers of Qi Shield blocked in front, Wuzhiqi's assault on it, shaking the earth with his power, hitting Jiang Li's body through the Qi Shield and sending him flying backward, as the Qi Shield quickly shattered.

But at the same time, Jiang Li had already thrown a round blue crystal, water vapor rising, quickly turning dense, forming a cloud of water as the Heavenly Water Pearl rose in the air.

"Heavenly Water Pearl!"

Wuzhiqi did not hesitate to leap up and grab the Heavenly Water Pearl, overjoyed, but at the same time, he sensed something was off.

The Six-Eared Phenomenon emerged again, Wuzhiqi sensing for miles around, immediately noticing two vast presences approaching Nether City like meteors chasing the moon.

It was a trap!

A trap to lure him out, and now, Wuzhiqi was exposed.

Wuzhiqi immediately showed a fierce expression, bared his fangs, but his eyes remained calm, clutching the Heavenly Water Pearl, he tumbled into a long rainbow, "This deity departs."

This Water Monkey actually didn't care at all about the agreement with him and the being with the vertical eye and left without hesitation.
