Chapter 839 129: The Dao Fruit of the Three Pilgrims, True Void Home Suddenly Appears
Jiang Li intentionally left out the combat power of the Master of Rain, even secretly using the Heart Demon Secret Sword at this moment, attempting to lure Wuzhiqi into focusing temporarily on a single person and a dog, thus ignoring the threat of the Master of Rain.
Since we've encountered him, we can't just let this monkey leave so easily.
However, Wuzhiqi had already suffered from concentrating his attention too much earlier, so this time he won't fall into the same trap. While he used his Fire Eyes Golden Eyes to keep an eye on Jiang Li, his Six Ears also perceived in all directions, incorporating the movements of the Primordial Lord Rain Master and everyone on the Flying Island into his awareness.
It was at this time that Wuzhiqi suddenly grinned, "A thousand troops and horses... that's what you said."
As soon as the monkey's words fell, a gale roared, and a White Dragon broke through the skies.
Eight Heavenly Dragons and Great Power Bodhisattva!
The opponent's reinforcements had arrived.
Jiang Li immediately unleashed a fierce killing intent, and the Yinglong beneath him also surged forward with a roar, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning pouring down from the sky in an instant.
"Roar!"
The White Dragon roared as it flew past beneath Wuzhiqi, carrying him upwards as well. Strands of Buddha's energy spiraled alongside the dragon's ascent, manifesting into dragon shadows and colliding with wind and thunder.
Both sides charged while riding dragons, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning collided violently with Buddha's energy.
Cultivators of the Buddha Country always cultivated an External Dharma Form, and their overall strength certainly surpassed other cultivators. However, the Primordial Lord Rain Master's Yinglong Transformation had already reached completion, mastering the Divine Dao Fruits of the Four Gods of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, making his power no less than that of Guangli Bodhisattva.
The Yinglong and White Dragon collided in midair, the shock wave splitting the clouds, shaking the entire sky. Two immense forces clashed head-on, the surging waves transformed into a ferocious tide, sweeping across the sky.
Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning struck the White Dragon simultaneously, the Yinglong roared with overwhelming force, causing the White Dragon to tremble violently, its scale armor bursting with blood energy.
In the direct clash, the Master of Rain held the upper hand.
On top of the twin dragons, Jiang Li was already clad in silver armor, and with a thought, [Outer Object Transformation] was performed, manifesting the Slaughter Spear and Life-breaking Spear from the Military God's Five Weapons. The All Heaven Divine Sha devastated the air, leaving chaos in its wake.
But just at that moment, the injured White Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a stream of golden light.
"Amitabha."
The sound of a Buddha's chant rose, another majestic Buddha's energy appeared.
His Heavenly Eye clearly saw a Bodhisattva Dharma Image flash past, merging with a black-robed monk. The monk took off the prayer beads slung across his chest and hurled them toward the devastating Sha.
"Amitabha!"
An even grander Buddha's chant emanated from the nine fist-sized prayer beads, transforming their ebony hue into gold, faintly revealing a skull within.
The nine prayer beads were unexpectedly nine skulls.
These fleshless skulls, which should have appeared eerie, instead exuded a sense of solemnity and sanctity at this moment, emitting a potent Buddha's energy, pure and endless, imbued with an innate compassion and grandeur, managing to withstand Jiang Li's All Heaven Divine Sha.
"Skulls?"
Jiang Li's Heavenly Eye fell upon the monk, as the Eight Trigrams Image rotated, perceiving a stream of aura akin to quicksand from him.
"Could it be a Golden Body Arhat?"
Mentioning the Golden Body Arhat might be unfamiliar, but mentioning Sha Wujing would be all too familiar.
Among the scripture-retrieving quartet, Sha Wujing is the unluckiest, sealed as a Golden Body Arhat. Though it bears the Golden Body name, it is still an Arhat Fruit Position, incomparable to the Buddha Fruit Positions of the monkey and Tang Sanzang, or even the Bodhisattva Fruit Position of the Little White Dragon.
However, as far as the Arhat level is concerned, the Golden Body Arhat·Sha Wujing's Dao Fruit is top-notch among the elite, truly a first-tier, fifth-rank Dao Fruit.
The monk before him should have harbored this Dao Fruit at the fifth rank, and as for the prayer beads he tossed out...
If Jiang Li's guess was correct, they likely were transformed from heads left behind by Tang Sanzang before his ninth demise. Judging by their aura, they might very well be genuine items.
The Buddha's energy emanating from the nine prayer beads was refined to the point that a fourth-rank could not possess it, stubbornly rivaling the All Heaven Divine Sha, which, combined with Jiang Li's insight into a trace of their foundation, firmly established this guess of his.
'Okay, okay, so you all are a group.'
'One Sun Wukong, one handsome face, and a Sha Wujing, three of the scripture-retrieving five have arrived. Is this to fight a Three Heroes battle against Lü Bu with Jiang?'
While Jiang Li pondered, the All Heaven Divine Sha clashed with Buddha's energy, the Military God Three Soldiers manifested by [Outer Object Transformation] smashed apart the prayer beads, but they too could no longer hold, dissolving into nothingness.
The overwhelming blast wave directly sent Xiao Tian, who was attempting a sneak attack, flying, leaving Jiang Li directly facing the heavy blow of the Jingu Bang.
Wuzhiqi was adorned with golden light, having transformed from a White Ape into a Golden Monkey, hefting the Jingu Bang aloft as he swung it down towards Jiang Li's heavenly spirit.
"Take this blow!"
"Do you think it'd be that easy?"
Jiang Li faced the descending Jingu Bang like a heavenly pillar, and with both hands spun the Primordial Qi and Evil Qi, the world seemed to transform into black and white at this moment.
"Emperor's Ultimate World, Yiyuan Jinghui."
The Taiji Formation in black and white appeared behind him, and as Jiang Li opened his hands wide, the boundless black and white Qi expanded to cover the skies and earth, dyeing the world in black and white hues.
"With Meeting Scripture."
The heavenly pillar-like Jingu Bang was initially swift, like a mountain toppling, but gradually slowed in the black and white Qi.
The entire world seemed to fall into Jiang Li's domain, he coexisted with the world, united with all things, layers upon layers of power entwined the Jingu Bang, dissolving and wearing away, causing it to progressively stagnate.
Even if the opponent had strong reinforcements, to defeat Jiang Li was still not a simple matter.
When the Jingu Bang slowed to its utmost, Jiang Li applied his Mysterious Skill, intending to...
"Lifeless Mother, True Void Home."
The space behind him suddenly collapsed, manifesting into a void. Within the void, countless White Lotuses bloomed, illusory figures sang hymns upon the White Lotuses, extolling the compassion and majesty of the Lifeless Mother.
A white-robed Tan Wuwei stepped out from the void, pointing a finger forward, the fingertip coalescing pure white light, shaping into a form like a key, piercing through the stagnated domain of black and white Qi, directly targeting Jiang Li's back.
Daoist Fruit Divine Power·Evil-breaking and Right-shining Key.
Just as Jiang Li was engaged in a struggle with Wuzhiqi and others, when he launched his full force attack, the third-grade Tan Wuwei suddenly appeared, launching a finger strike.
"Tan Wuwei!"
Mo Sect Master Mo Xuankong on the Flying Island reacted almost instantly, his silhouette in a flash, transforming into a sharp blaze shooting across the sky. Simultaneously, red and blue divine lights intertwined, forming a vortex that twisted space, firmly ensnaring and pulling Mo Sect Master's figure.
"Benefactor, please stay."
Also clad in white, yet appearing gentle and compassionate, Guanyin descended from the sky, her Separation and Union Divine Light twisting, restraining Mo Sect Master's support.
The assault and restraint were evidently well-prepared. As Jiang Li faced off against Wuzhiqi and the others, the two third-grade individuals from Buddha Country had already cast an invisible net.
Jiang Li's Spiritual Sense frantically warned of impending crisis, even the Blessed Divine Ruyi, which had not responded in ages, was agitating his emotions.
The crisis was so apparent and intense that even the Jade Ruyi, ordinarily ineffective against third-grade level attacks, had a tangible effect. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Eye had detected Tan Wuwei the moment she appeared, yet it could offer no substantial aid to the current predicament.
It was too sudden, the assault came so abruptly, concealing the heavens' secrets, not once inspiring Jiang Li's instincts.
In the blink of an eye, Tan Wuwei collapsed space, her finger's light, in that brief second, pierced through the moment before Jiang Li, her eyes shimmering with starlight, reflecting Jiang Li's silhouette, as she watched the white light penetrate him.
'This, then, is the future.'
Tan Wuwei whispered in her heart, her finger's white light touched Jiang Li's back.
The black and white Qi was pierced through, the Taiji Formation traversed, Jiang Li's body penetrated.
The white light shrank inward, and what follows...
'His body will collapse into the void' Tan Wuwei silently articulated the subsequent scene in her heart.
