"Boom!"

A peal of thunder, sounding as if it were right beside one's ear yet also immeasurably distant and somewhat unclear.

Jiang Li turned his head to look behind, only to see a white fog shrouded in uncertainty, rain curtains falling, the wind howling, and visibility less than half a meter; naturally all of Donglin City was also beyond perception.

He couldn't see beyond the white fog, even the other people who had entered with him had vanished without a trace, even the slightest noise was absent.

Yin Tulong, Shen Hou, and the tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Feng Manlou who had entered the storm earlier had all seemed to disappear, leaving Jiang Li alone in the world.

It was still good, however, that he was not completely alone. Inside the fragment of the Heavenly Mirror, he still had fellow sect members and his senior sister.

"Master is clashing with Zhang Zhixuan," Jiang Li whispered.

His brow shone with starlight, with Ziwei and Tianfu side by side, Gongsun Qingyue's voice arose in the Sea of Consciousness: "The confrontation between Master and Zhang Zhixuan is definitely earth-shattering, but it's isolated by the wind and fog. There's no mistake, this is the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law, Warlord Chi You's method, capable of confusing universe space, scrambling the distinction between high and low. Once someone enters, the space changes, and if one doesn't know the method, they might be trapped inside until death."

"Not only are there the Divine Skills of the wind and rain, there's also the method of the Warlord..."

Jiang Li felt somewhat headache.

He knew the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You was never simple or ordinary.

Legend has it that Chi You had once trapped the Yellow Emperor's forces with dense fog for three days, and they only escaped because the Yellow Emperor's side devised the compass car.

The legend sounded mundane, but now it was proven that ordinary fog could only trap ordinary people. The kind of fog that could trap the Yellow Emperor was fundamentally not mere fog.

The Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law confused space, making it change every moment, even possibly creating distortions. Not to mention ordinary people, even highly skilled practitioners who were fourth-rank might not be able to escape if they entered it.

The Dao Fruit of the Warlord should also be second grade. At the height of his power, the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law he cast had even trapped the Yellow Emperor, who had eventually been forced to create the first-ever compass car in the world to discern the changes in space and escape from the constantly evolving spatial maze.

The Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law deployed by the Taiping Sect side now was naturally not comparable to the Warlord's, but they had not only used this method but also confused perceptions with wind and rain. With both strategies combined, even Jiang Li found it difficult to cope.

In this Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law and the storm, it wasn't about gathering refugees, finding the enemy would be considered good enough.

"Senior sister, is there a way to break the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law?"

Jiang Li asked while moving and sensing his surroundings.

"I'm deducing with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, you use the calculations with the Wind Queen Compass, together we might be able to break it, otherwise, we'll have to forcefully break through."

The voice in the Sea of Consciousness spoke, and the light of the two stars became even more prominent. Jiang Li felt a surge of Divine Sense communicating with his own, collaborating with "Ziwei and Tianfu, assistance," and consequently, a large amount of calculation data followed.

Although the senior sister's calculation power couldn't match Jiang Li's astonishing wisdom, she now wielded the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, and her divination skills were nevertheless superior to Jiang Li's.

The two joined forces, and the barrier confusing their perceptions gradually weakened. Jiang Li slowly sensed the changes in space.

The space seemed to have been divided into individual cubes, each independent yet interconnected, sometimes flowing like water, and these cubes would tumble along with the flow, the connections between cubes constantly changing, breaking and connecting—communicating with this space one moment and changing to another the next.

It was this changing pattern...

"It's a bit rigid, lacking in integration," Jiang Li said.

"The Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law is a supreme technique from the 'Chi You Three Disks Scripture'; it's not that easy to fully grasp. The other side must have used some kind of Dao Artifact to deploy it; the most likely possibility is one of the Military God's Five Weapons," Gongsun Qingyue said.

Well, your Taiping Sect keeps talking about serving the Yellow Heaven, but here come again Wind Lords and Rain Masters and Jiuli's techniques, truly exceptional.

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Jiang Li would really want to thoroughly tease about it.

"If that's the case, there might still be a chance to solve it."

Jiang Li sensed the changing space and suddenly stepped back.

The white mist suddenly parted and quickly closed in, and Jiang Li distinctly felt fluctuations as though he had plunged into water, experiencing the drag of the currents, and then suddenly, he was free from underwater.

Before him was still a veil of white mist, yet the space was evidently different.

Jiang Li smelled a metallic stench and looked down at the ground.

At his feet lay two corpses, both clad in silver armor, wielding long spears, and faint streams of light still shimmered on their bodies.

That was the divided Heavenly Weapon Dao Fruit.

One of the Heavenly Soldiers had his body grotesquely twisted while the other was cleaved halfway through, clearly slain by an enemy. The opponent had struck decisively and was prepared, while these two Heavenly Soldiers had been utterly confused amidst the storm and fog, resulting in their instant death.

The battle was progressing unfavorably.

Only when one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers joined forces could they sufficiently assist a master to partake in battles of the fifth and even fourth ranks. Once scattered, these soldiers were mere ants to a master.

In this mist, there should now be ongoing battles, clearly distinguishing the parties' strengths.

Their side was weaker; the enemy's was stronger.

Yet, Jiang Li did not seem to be in a hurry. He didn't even bother to collect the Dao Fruit from the corpses before stepping forward, vanishing into the mist again.

It was another peculiar experience of entering the water, the mist parted and came together; before him lay a half-bodied corpse of a Heavenly Soldier.

It seemed it had been caught and split mid-section by the shifting spaces.

Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law was not only capable of disorienting space, but if fully mastered, it became a supreme method of slaughter. It was fortunate that the enemy had not truly mastered this technique, otherwise their situation would have been one hundred times worse.

On the other hand, if the enemy had truly mastered this technique, they wouldn't even need to deploy it; a direct assault would have similar effects.

Jiang Li continued to move unfettered, crossing through the storm and once again entering the mist.

The mist suddenly parted, and shouts of killing struck his ears. A Yellow Turban Warrior clad in a yellow robe was smashing down a fist, splitting a Heavenly Soldier in two. Amid the flying flesh and blood, his arm cracked like firecrackers—using his arm as a whip, he aimed to strike down the remaining two Heavenly Soldiers.

But by then, Jiang Li had arrived, his gaze locked onto the Yellow Turban Warrior and instantly transformed into a tangible sharp sword, piercing through his body.

"Thud!"

The Yellow Turban Warrior knelt on one knee, his knee striking the ground like a hammer strike, his muscles tensing as he struggled to stand.

Ordinary Yellow Turban Warriors, mostly being Daoist Soldiers with little spiritual wisdom, would continue fighting as long as they were alive, unburdened by negative emotions such as fear. However, he clearly could not keep standing in Jiang Li's presence.

Jiang Li swiftly appeared in front of the Yellow Turban Warrior, his right hand reaching out, five fingers projecting Sword Qi, simultaneously stabbing into the drooping head of the Yellow Turban Warrior, penetrating deep into his brain.

Even though devoid of much spiritual wisdom, some memories were still retained; through these memories, he might fully grasp the rules of spatial changes.

But before Jiang Li could gain anything, from behind the Yellow Turban Warrior, within the mist, a sudden Thunder Sound erupted.

"Boom!"

The Thunder Sound blew the Yellow Turban Warrior's body and the adjacent Heavenly Soldier to pieces, flesh and blood accompanied by the sound waves rushing towards Jiang Li like a tide of blood.

"One Qi Transforms Three Thousand."

Jiang Li's gaze shifted slightly, instantly forming a wall of Qi, the blood-colored sound waves slamming into it and exploding into a shower of blood and flesh.

"Thunder God!"

Jiang Li's eyes clearly saw a towering figure emerging from the mist up ahead.

Meanwhile, Thunderbolt Lightning violently flashed; a woman wearing a red dress and white trousers, with a refined appearance wearing embroidered shoes with lightning patterns, approached Jiang Li from behind.

"Mother of Lightning."

Thunder God and Mother of Lightning, these two attacked him from both front and back, their power of thunder and lightning intricately entwined, encircling Jiang Li.
