Chapter 549: Piercing the Head with the Sword, the Flame Yellow Body

Chapter 549: Piercing the Head with the Sword, the Flame Yellow Body
"Unfortunately, I can't achieve full success."
Suddenly, Tianpeng let out a light sigh, and his face became crystalline. Terrifying qi surged from the nine qi seas all over his body.
'He's going to leave!'
Jiang Li's mind flashed with this thought.
Shennong's destiny has already evolved, but the assistance from Tianpeng's side has backfired. They were suddenly struck by an unexpected attack from Elder Tianji, causing the situation to reverse from multiple against one to multiple against one. Tianpeng has lost the possibility of achieving his goal.
So, he decided to leave decisively, without any hesitation.
While Jiang Li tried to preserve his life.
One left, one stayed, and both of them erupted almost simultaneously.
"Dang——"
On the right side of Tian Peng, an arm grabs a bronze bell. The sound of the bell resonates and shocks the soul, directly attacking the spirit. The other arm in front holds a spear, and the tip of the spear vibrates, emitting a relentless sharp scream, just like an evil dragon struggling and roaring in his hand, not even the sound of the bell and thunder can drown out this sound.
"One qi transforms into three thousand."
Jiang Li used the [Roaming Free] and [Pure Yang Dao Heart] to suppress his soul and perception. Thousands of qi merged into the vermilion whip, turning into a long rainbow and striking the roaring "evil dragon."
"Boom!"
The momentum is explosive, and the divine power surges. The life-breaking spear bursts out a flaming aura, devouring all vitality, only to be shattered by a crimson light.
Two figures simultaneously step forward, treading on the topmost step. The figure of Tianpeng flickers, undergoing no apparent change, while the head and arms in the front move to the side, replaced by purple lightning and blue glow, enveloping a bronze axe. It cuts through the air and strikes down.
"Wield the Heavenly Axe, slay the five forms of demons."
"Sudden and abrupt changes, the incantation combined with the sound of thunder, a force as strong as ten thousand kilograms, unmatched in dominance, combined with the speed of lightning, making it impossible to defend against."
"However, Jiang Li, like a prophet, redirects the Whip of Vermilion, meeting the mighty axe, condensing his innate qi into one, colliding with the axe."
"Boom!"
The two collided, and Zhebian forcibly blocked the axe, but the force on the axe was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down, shaking Jiang Li's innate Qi, which was emitted outside, like waves surging, causing the arm holding the whip to shake.
The grand and domineering Daxiu is not as deadly as the Duan Sheng spear, but in terms of strength, it still has the advantage.
The most critical point is that Jiang Li noticed that Tianpeng's strength has improved compared to before.
'Before, he was distracted in cultivating the Divine Farmer's appearance. Now that the Divine Farmer's appearance is complete, his strength has actually increased, so there is no need for him to be distracted.'
As they had this thought, the two continued walking, descending to the next level of stairs. Tianpeng struck the Red Whip with his large axe, while at the same time, a sword light flashed, shooting out from his waist like a snake's tongue.
Another arm held a ancient sword and attacked.
At the same time, Jiang Li's figure dodged the ancient sword on one side, and the other hand's sword light suddenly appeared. The grand circle sword condensed and fell on the sword blade without any firework-like aura, making a clang sound.
"Clang!"
In less than a breath's time, they had fought and moved continuously from the high platform down, exchanging blows.
Descending from the high platform in the blink of an eye, both of them pulled out afterimages that remained on the nine steps, as if they had transformed into nine different bodies, engaging in a fierce battle.
The power of Tianpeng is getting stronger, and when he leaves the last step, his figure rapidly expands.
Law of Heaven and Earth!
Casting his divine powers, his figure suddenly grows to several zhangs in an instant. The arm holding the Spear of Life also undergoes a proportional magnification, and the enlarged shadow of the spear falls like a torrential rain, unstoppable and with a destructive aura that covers the heavens and the earth, spreading in all directions.
The momentum of Tianpeng skyrocketed at this moment, surging with the release of the Law of Heaven and Earth.
Jiang Li was shrouded in the annihilating qi, and the terrifying aura reminded him of the danger of the Broken Life Spear.
Previously, Jiang Li was directly able to tear off the flesh tainted with the aura of death from the wound caused by the breaking life spear. This shows the danger of the Five Soldiers of the War God. If he were really pierced by the shadow of this spear, it is feared that even the source of his Qi and physicality couldn't save Jiang Li.
"The sun is at its zenith, shining brightly in the sky."
"Jiang Li immediately concealed the Dayuan Sword, raised his left hand, and the Divine Farmer's Cauldron floated on the left side, surging with blazing Yang Fire, forming a sun disc."
"The moon is in the position of the child, with clear water and osmanthus petals."
On the right hand, there is a floating vermilion whip, which has the ability to transform from yang to yin, lifting up the phases of the moon.
Inhaling the surrounding vital energy, it forms a resemblance of the sun and the moon, radiating a mysterious light, clashing fiercely with the shadow of the divine spear.
“——”
In silence and without causing any sensation, the ground beneath me was constantly annihilated, turning the roof of the hall into dust, and even causing the ten-zhang-high canopy to retreat involuntarily.
But Jiang Li did not retreat, but instead advanced.
He reached out and grabbed the Da Yuan Sword in his hand, and a rolling impure Qi surged, transforming into a sinister aura.
The decline of the heavens and earth were all contained within this sword. Jiang Li transformed into a dim sword light, heading straight towards the already towering ten zhang tall Tian Peng.
"The likeness of heaven."
"At this moment, Tianpeng's figure retreated, his shadow flying and flashing like dew and lightning, seeming like a mirage about to disappear, and he was about to vanish into the void."
"Previously on the high platform, he seemed to have some scruples, or perhaps he couldn't display it. It was only at this moment that Tianpeng finally used the technique of the likeness of heaven to escape."
At the same time, Gong Sunshou suddenly widened his eyes, and a grand intention emanated from his sea of knowledge, forming a huge vertical pupil behind him, inside of which a figure appeared faintly.
Tianji, Tianquan, and even Cao Yixuan and Gongsun Taicheng were all instinctively looking at this vertical pupil, and then suddenly their figures froze. Even Jiang Li's sword light was affected.
And just as the vertical pupil flickered, the figure of Tianpeng had already faded into the appearance of an illusion, but at this moment, the sword light was approaching!
In this instant, time seemed to slow down to the extreme, incredibly elongated. I saw that the sword light was getting closer and closer, and Tianpeng's figure was about to dissipate, and then—
Time slowed down for a moment.
A flowing brilliance emerged from the void, suddenly appearing and then dispersing again. There was a barely noticeable pause as the Monkey King's figure dissipated, and the sword light that was about to fall had a sensation of contact.
"Woosh - "
That sword light pierced through the head of Tianpeng, leaving a dark sword mark. Then, the figure of Tianpeng disappeared.
"Dazun, your hand has reached the Dinghuo Sect!"
He left behind faint words in place, but his presence was nowhere to be seen.
On the other side, Gong Sunshou was also engulfed by the rippling space, and the two elders, Tianti and Tianquan, were unable to stop Gong Sunshou's departure due to the appearance of that vertical pupil.
【Tianpeng left in the end, although Jiang Li penetrated his skull, he still has three bodies left, and his primordial spirit is not in the frontal skull.】
Jiang Li dissipated the sword light in midair, holding a long sword, looking at the words appearing on the causal set, and sighed softly, "What a pity."
As expected, the old monster who has lived for two hundred years is experienced and cunning. Despite being pursued by Jiang Li and disturbed by a troublemaker, he managed to leave this place and eventually won a small victory.
In addition--
'Tianpeng actually practiced the "Yinfu Scripture". He is not a assimilated puppet, but the incarnation of Ji Jizhi himself?' Doubts arose in Jiang Li's mind.
Puppets and the original person are different. Generally speaking, practitioners can only accommodate one Dao fruit at each level, and Dao fruits have distinct levels and strengths.
This is to avoid conflicts between different Dao fruits.
Apart from the same source Dao fruits, each practitioner can only accommodate nine different Dao fruits, even if they generate avatars or clones, they still inherit the same Dao fruits. Because the essence of Dao fruits is karma, which integrates with the practitioner's karma. Although avatars and clones are separate from the original body, the karma is not severed, and they are essentially connected.
This is also the reason why Li Qingluo was able to use the fruit of the Immortal Poetry.
If Tianpeng is not an assimilated puppet, but a clone of Ji Jijie, then Ji Jijie's fourth-grade Dao fruit should also be Marshal Tianpeng.
'Even now, there are still mysteries surrounding Ji Jiji. Moreover, it is unknown how many people within the Dinghu faction and various other forces have been assimilated by Ji Jiji.'
Jiang Li remembered this and felt a headache.
Fortunately, the sovereignty of the Dinghu faction has now been transferred to the Tianxuan faction.
Before the Sect Master returns, no one can shake this status quo.
Jiang Li slowly descended from mid-air, glanced at the dilapidated palace and the rest of the crowd, sensing the approach of auras and revealing a smile.
With Ji Jiji's victory, Jiang Li also gained something. The Dinghu Sect will now be led by the Tian Xuan lineage.
······
······
Three hundred miles outside of Dinghu.
The sky undulates and writhes, then flows down like liquid into the mountains below, gradually taking form and revealing a towering black-clad man and a middle-aged man in yellow robes.
"After years of planning, all I got was the divination of Shen Nong."
Tianpeng said with great regret, while reaching out to touch his forehead.
There was still a strong phantom pain here, and the decaying and rotten sword aura pierced through the skull, eroding everything inside the skull. In the end, Tianpeng had to cut off this head to ensure the integrity of his body.
There is more than one head of the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy. If it were someone else, their head would have been pierced and they might have really fallen into the hands of this junior, Jiang Li.
"Back then, when I handed over the person to Tian Xuan, I intended to use them in the future, but I didn't expect to make a wrong move. This Tian Xuan really lacks the vigilance that the head of the Gong Sun family should have, and has cultivated such a monster."
Tianpeng couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of his fellow junior sister.
If Tianxuan had exerted more restraint and prevented Jiang Li from growing so quickly, the plan wouldn't have changed like this.
But fortunately, the initial goal was ultimately achieved.
In the meridians of the body, one after another talismans take shape, merging into the flesh, reshaping the body, and thoroughly developing the bloodline of Shen Nong. The head of Tianpeng subtly changes, and faintly, it seems that three other faces appear on the left, right, and rear, transforming into four different aspects.
One side is revealed, showing a red crystalline color, which represents the appearance of Shennong.
'The body of Yan Huang, carrying the way of heaven, my path will be fulfilled.'
Couldn't hold it anymore, kept dozing off, probably because I didn't get enough sleep last night. I only slept for about five hours and woke up due to a stomachache. After relieving myself, I felt better and more energetic.
And now I'm not energetic anymore.
Let's postpone the remaining chapter.
Alas, I feel so despairing.
