"No need to thank me; it is what should be done."

The Heavenly Monarch's voice was gentle, truly like an elder guiding a junior, while simultaneously transforming his palm into a finger, gathering killing intent, "Heaven and Man Combined, All Transformations Foundation."

The heaven moved, the earth moved, man moved.

Man responded to the changes of heaven and earth, merging with the killing intent of heaven and earth, the three talents converging into one finger, causing the entire array space to move.

Heaven and Man Combined, all changes set the tone.

And here, the Heavenly Monarch was the heaven and earth, and also man.

Divine evil, killing intent, and the ubiquitous turbulent dirt Qi even stirred the Five Vile Qi, assaulting and attacking Jiang Li.

The layers of Taixu Cloud Qi exploded, yet it was the offensive coming from all directions that was broken by Taixu, its "body" fragmented, with remaining Qi colliding with Taixu Qi.

Once the "body" is broken, any move remains only in its fundamental quality and quantity, losing the move's empowerment over force, making it difficult to harm Jiang Li's body. But the quality and quantity of the attack coming at him right now were truly too strong and too vast.

Chi You's Flag swirled around the body, annihilating the turbulent flow, sweeping away the killing intent, yet the onslaught seemed endless, with no end in sight.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Monarch pointed and struck, green light suddenly appeared on the fingertip, followed by branches suddenly growing out, occupying a hundred zhang of space like dragons or snakes, resembling swords or knives, possessing a spirit-like intent, striking Chi You's Flag.

Though the Great Circle Sword had transformed, as long as the Dao Fruit within the Military God's Five Weapons was incomplete, there would always be weak spots. Jiang Li, no matter how much he transformed, could only shift, unable to completely erase it.

Moreover, these branches were also a Second Grade Daoist Artifact—

Ginseng fruit tree!

Killing intent was followed by life force, the transformation between life and death was seamless, more importantly, the Dao Artifact seemed to be one with the Heavenly Monarch, driven by his will.

A strong life force emitted, colliding with the divine evil, causing Chi You's Flag to shake again, suddenly disassembling, transforming into five weapons.

The Heavenly Monarch pointed at the Treasure Tree, countless branches seemed to have a will of their own, stabbing out with fierce Qi force, covering the space, sealing off retreat.

"This is······spirit born of itself!"

The Sword Qi had spirit, a unique method created by Manjusri through "Qi Tomb," yet here the Heavenly Monarch used it in another form, as if there wasn't any cultivation technique related to "Qi Tomb" and "Form Tomb" that he didn't know.

Even······

"Do you intend to steal my 'Emperor's Pole Worldly Book'?"

Jiang Li spoke candidly to unveil the Heavenly Monarch's intention, reaching out to grasp the Great Circle Sword revealed post-disassembly, its plain white color covering the sword body, transforming into the Taisu Sword, the sword light divided, numerous sword shadows forming a sword wheel, slashing towards the countless sword-like branches.

But simultaneously, the tide of killing intent raged against Jiang Li's body, causing his form to tremble.

Though he withstood it with his Taixu's body, the killing intent and malign mist attacked directly at his Primordial Spirit. Fortunately, Jiang Li eternally remained at peak condition, preventing this from affecting his combat power.

As for the injuries, they swiftly healed.

"I am indeed curious about Nephew's cultivation technique, but exploring the method from Nephew's corpse isn't impossible. Nephew, you are indeed extraordinarily gifted, but your realm is still lacking a bit."

This missing bit is the gap in level.

While the Heavenly Monarch spoke, behind him, the shadow of the Heavenly Realm was already emerging, layers of golden palaces were manifesting, the space would soon overlap.

This one possesses quite a few Second Grade Daoist Artifacts, aside from the Ginsengfruit Tree, also has the Dao Artifact of the Jade Emperor, though the specific artifact type is unknown.

And when the Heavenly Monarch revealed the Heavenly Realm, he would unveil his trump card, putting his full effort into killing Jiang Li.

At this moment, three rays of light flew within the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, the golden light behind them appeared fierce and menacing, as if determined to kill the two rays of light in front.

Jiang Li's Heavenly Eye perceived these three rays of light, and immediately shouted, "Horses' Fortune, hurry and help!"

The three words "Horses' Fortune" seemed to possess magic, instantly captivating the golden light.

Immediately, the golden light shot through the sky like a gust of wind, a golden monkey somersaulted in mid-air, swinging a rod that could overturn the heavens.

"Youngster, take a blow from my old Sun."

The Jingu Bang descended like a falling heavenly pillar, shattering the sinister wind and black fog, dense evil Qi clinging to the Jingu Bang, burning like flames.

This monkey's Jingu Bang was originally a Divine Treasure Iron at the town of Tianhe, later borrowed by Yu the Great to control floods, originally a suppressive object, but in his hand, it became a great evil weapon.

It once slew countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, later slaughtered demons on the journey to the west. Although he spared those with backgrounds, those without backgrounds were all left behind, accumulating extremely strong Soldier Evil.

As for whether he resumed his killing spree after the westward journey, that is unknown.

In any case, at this moment, the strike of the Jingu Bang descended with the ferocity of a collapsing sky.

It is uncertain whether this strike was aimed at the Heavenly Monarch, Jiang Li, or both.

In any case, Jiang Li was within the strike's range.

Facing the ferocity of this strike, the Heavenly Monarch's complexion had grown solemn, yet he still showed no panic, nor did he request Lingxuzi's assistance, nor did he turn to confront it.

Because at this moment, Sun Wukong discovered that the Heavenly Monarch, who originally had his back turned, was now facing him, yet on the other side, his killing intent toward Jiang Li remained undiminished.

Moreover, what Jiang Li faced was also the Heavenly Monarch's front.

With the "Form Tomb" cultivation technique, the Heavenly Monarch, even if not at its peak, was not far from it, one might say just a step away.

Once "Form Tomb" reaches perfection, it becomes the Yellow Emperor's Four Faces, the most perfect form. Regardless of the direction viewed, it shows the front, and no matter where the attack originates, it faces full force.
