The Great Venerable, with the Cosmic Light Divine Ability, first trapped Jiang Li then approached the blood-red cavern without hesitation and clawed out. Two phantom shadows emerged, interweaving flares of light, forming one book and one scroll—it was indeed the Book of Luo and the River Map.

The Book of Luo and River Map were originally a Dao Artifact, bearing within it the Fuxi Dao Fruit. Now as they reappeared, there were points of light like the stars and interlacing Qi Veins that emerged, the points forming diagrams that depicted the Celestial Stars and the Qi Veins creating arrays that performed the Universe's void.

In an instant, a universe of starry space-like anomaly covered the majority of the sky, encompassing the blood-red cavern.

This was an attempt to pull out the Fuxi Dao Fruit using the Book of Luo and River Map.

However, before the universe could cover the expanse of sky, golden light burst forth, and auspicious clouds suddenly appeared. A supremely great aura filled the universe, transforming half the sky into a sacred Miao Realm, with faint glimpses of the Heavenly Palace Illusion.

A towering figure with a golden dome above his head and hands as large as mountains also reached for the blood-red cavern.

"So it's the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit that you plan on utilizing as your stepping stone to advance to Second Grade Dao Fruit, aiming for two birds with one stone. Quite the clever scheme indeed."

The Great Venerable's eyes shone like the sun and moon, identifying the source of that supremely great aura at a glance.

The person before him was clearly using the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit as a vessel for the Yellow Emperor's faith, absorbing Incense Fire Thought Power to evolve the concept of Yellow Heaven, then usurping the power of the heavens to become an Emperor himself. Eventually, if he became Yellow Heaven, he would be the Jade Emperor.

In the future, he might further consume the power of Heaven and advance to First Grade.

Step by step planning, his vision was far-reaching. He had set plans for First Grade and managed to keep them so deeply concealed until now.

His purpose in hiding was nothing more than to divert Heaven's attention towards the Great Venerable, allowing himself to benefit as the third party. What he didn't expect was that the Great Venerable also had plans of his own, trapping Jiang Li with Cosmic Light Divine Ability, and now the two adversaries collided once again.

A giant palm as vast as the heavens, encompassing all phenomena, along with the Dragon Claw, simultaneously reached out towards the blood-red cavern. From opposite sides of the cavern, they exerted their force, pressing against each other, causing Milo's Realm and the universe of the starry space to collide, and in an instant, there was a heavenly shock and an earthly movement, Heaven and Earth shook.

Celestial Stars fell like rain, and Milo's Realm's Heavenly Palace crumbled; both great anomalies seemed as if doomsday had come, on the verge of collapse.

Gongsun Qi received the worship of the Taiping Sect, using the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit to bear the power of Incense Fire Thought Power. This majestic Yellow Heaven was in fact his Dao Artifact, united with the person. Solely in terms of Power, he had already surpassed the Great Venerable and was unaffected by the Cosmic Light Divine Ability.

But the Great Venerable also possessed the Book of Luo and River Map.

Although these two treasures had lost the might they had before the End of Dharma and later lost the Fuxi Dao Fruit, they were still not ordinary items. The Great Venerable bore the Candle Dragon Dao Fruit, and his demon god-like body stretched like mountain ranges. If talking about Power, in reality, he was superior within the third grade, ranking just below the Emperor.

At this moment, with Gongsun Qi's support from Yellow Heaven, he could barely surpass the Great Venerable but was unable to completely dominate him.

Before, the two were at a stalemate on Wushan, each holding back. Now, they were close to using their full strength, and astonishingly found that the other party was more difficult to handle than anticipated.

Just then, the Taiji severed the long river, and Jiang Li rose into the sky with it. The Great Venerable and Gongsun Qi exchanged looks, making simultaneous decisions. They stopped pushing against each other and turned to probe the blood-red cavern together.

However, the Taiji Eight Trigrams just behind Jiang Li made a simple turn and managed to precede them to the blood-red cavern. Jiang Li descended slowly, and in a flash, a sky-collapsing force fell, causing both competitors' arms to sink.

Powerful!

Unbelievably powerful!

The two supreme beings surprisingly discovered that Jiang Li's strength had increased beyond measure compared to before, as if the power of the vast heavens had surged into his small body.

Jiang Li's aura increased rapidly and explosively, enough to move Heaven and Earth, as if he was bearing the Universe himself. Even the Emperor at his peak might not have such an immense Qi Mechanism.

Invisibly, an Invisible Power kept infusing into Jiang Li's body, yet without burdening him, and he continued to grow stronger, almost as if Heaven was transforming into his physical form.

This contest of schemes was likely to end in vain if it continued.

The thought flashed through Gongsun Qi's mind, as fine ripples of space vibrated around him, causing Heaven and Earth to resonate.

Yellow Heaven manifested anomalies on the outside, yet seemed to be within him, merging into one with him. Internally it became a world unto itself. As his thought moved, his towering body revealed all sorts of anomalies, with Heavenly bodies and the lands and clouds of Qi emerging within him, merging into the Nine Great Qi Seas, making him like the incarnation of a small universe, seemingly transcended beyond the human form.

"The universe is in the palm, myriad transformations are born within the body,"

With a resolute shout from Gongsun Qi, a Yiqi transformed into myriad forms. Infinite strands of True Qi shot out from the surrounding anomalies, intertwining into a Heaven and Earth Net, wrapping around everything with the breath of all living things, permeating every corner of Heaven and Earth.

The revolving Taiji Eight Trigram halted suddenly; numerous fine threads tangled up both the divination figures and the Taiji, entwining Jiang Li's body like a spider's web - tightly bound and layered with locks.

"Internally forming heaven and earth, creating a small world within oneself..."

Bright lights flickered in Jiang Li's eyes, changing at a frequency in the tens of thousands, as Gongsun Qi's foundation unfolded before him, revealing its mysteries.

Transforming through "Qi Tomb" myriad times, unifying through "Form Tomb," if the "Yin Talisman Scripture" were fully achieved, it would scatter into the cosmos, merging with heaven and earth, or it might condense into the profane and profound, forming its own small world. Yiqi transformed myriad things, nothing could withstand it, all transformations returned to one, enduring as the heavens and earth are long-lasting.

Such a thought process truly broadened Jiang Li's horizons.

After the net locked down, Gongsun Qi threw a simple punch, the power of a small world expelled all matter and Qi mechanisms, tangible and intangible, including the Five Vile Qi, out of the space in front of him, creating an absolute True Void; the Fist Pressure crushed down on Jiang Li's body like a great mill, while the Fist Power displayed a terrifying might.

This punch, devoid of any trickery, was particularly terrifying.

The lights in Jiang Li's eyes doubled in flickering frequency, the Taiji behind him suddenly rotated, grinding away the net's fine threads, then expanding to the Eight Trigrams.

"Yi contains Taiji, from which two elements are born."

And from the two elements came Four Symbols, and from Four Symbols came Eight Trigrams, heavens and earth, wind and thunder, water and fire, mountains and marshes; layers of anomalies evolved, manifesting in physical form under the influence of an unseen anomalous power.

"Outer Object Transformation."

"Water·Tidal Wave."

Jiang Li casually spoke, and a torrential deluge like a vast ocean overflowed within this True Void, bursting into a shocking tsunami under the crushing Fist Pressure.

"Mountain Ghost God Shock."

His gaze shifted, the Five Mountains appeared simultaneously, and at that moment the space seemed to stretch infinitely long, with five great mountains blocking the way of the punch.

Using water to dissipate the force, using mountains to block the punch, in that instant Jiang Li displayed the ability to transform illusion into reality with but a thought, stopping a heaven-shattering strike.

The Fist Power from a small world boomed on the connected Five Mountains, resonating throughout the universe, followed swiftly by—

"Boom!"

Shattered stones roared backward like a multitude of grains of sand; all five mountains were pulverized by that punch, and the True Void shook violently, turning everything within it, tangible or not, to dust.

Layer upon layer of anomalies were shattered by the disruptive waves; strands of Primordial Qi merged into the Taiji as Jiang Li raised his hand, traced a circle, and the Taiji and its two elements evolved, expanded, forming a Tai Chi Diagram that surrounded his body, continuously dissolving the shockwaves.

In an instant, the sound was like thunder in a torrential downpour, like Golden Spear and Iron Horse clashing; the shockwaves scrubbed against the Taiji, but they could never break through the seemingly fragile Yin Yang Fish.

All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, Yin overpowers Yang, Yang transforms into Yin; within the Taiji, all laws are impervious.

The light in Jiang Li's eyes flickered rapidly, precisely calculating the reverse side of the applied forces, continuously annihilating them, but then—

The Taiji behind him suddenly experienced a lag; two gazes transformed into tangible Sharp Swords, pinned onto the Taiji, forcibly stopping its evolution.

It was the Great Venerable.

The mountain-range-like body of the Candle Dragon reappeared, its eyes like the sun and moon, shooting forth an ultimate brilliance, immobilizing the Taiji within the Eight Trigrams.

Immediately after, that ultimate punch, finally crushing the space, shattered through the Yin Yang, opening up the two elements, and one force urged on the Dome of the heavens.

The Yin Yang Fish were dispersed, counterflowing into Jiang Li's body; Gongsun Qi stepped forward, and Milo's Realm invaded the True Void, with that punch blowing simultaneously.

"——"

The power of a small world exerted on Jiang Li's body, unleashed Fist Power, yet silent as if nonexistent; Jiang Li's palm flipped, casually blocking the punch.

The Taiji Energy that flowed back into his body further reversed, transforming upwards, his form turning ethereal with immeasurable strength.
