On the other side, within the space where thunder boomed and lightning flashed, a startling thunderbolt streaked through the sky, striking Jiang Li's left shoulder and causing him to lose his steadfast posture, staggering as he stepped.

His left arm had taken a hit from the Mother of Lightning's Yin Thunder, half of the flesh on the arm rapidly disintegrated, turning into pus and blood. After a flaw opened in his previously watertight defense, the tide of battle took a sharp turn for the worse, and he endured a ferocious assault from the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning, his left shoulder now also injured.

The domineering thunderbombardment on his shoulder obliterated chunks of flesh, turning them into a bloody mist that exploded outwards.

The figure, who had originally faced his two opponents head-on, finally changed, shedding his mystical form and reverting to his normal physique. He now faced the Thunder God straightforwardly, blocking a blow of thunder, with the Mother of Lightning at his back.

The apparition that seemed to be a complete incarnation of the Form Tomb finally vanished.

Thunder God and Mother of Lightning were about to press their advantage, but just then, the sound of wind caught their ears, and their expressions changed simultaneously.

It was the Marquis of Wind signaling them to retreat, to intercept Feng Manlou and the Heavenly Generals he led.

However, with such dominance in their favor, wouldn't retreating mean abandoning all their previous efforts?

At this moment, the Mother of Lightning retracted her electric light and decisively chose to retreat. Thunder God showed reluctance on his face, but, considering the importance of the Dharma Platform, he too did not wish to linger.

However—

"Cough!"

Jiang Li coughed up blood, a trace of red visible at the corner of his mouth, as his Qi Mechanism rapidly declined, and the flesh on his hand accelerated its disintegration.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

Yin Thunder was famed for its lethality and yin damage, and with the Mother of Lightning boosted by Thunder God's power, their combined Thunder Techniques grew in destructive potency.

Initially, Luu Tianpeng dealt with both of them without revealing his true capabilities, relying on the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy's divine skill, which restrained the Thunder Techniques, to hold his ground against them. The marshal's Dao Fruit inherently restrained demons, demons, ghosts, and even the Thunder God, rendering him largely unharmed by thunder attacks.

But Jiang Li was different. Struck by both the domineering Yang Thunder and the harmful Yin Thunder, he was in a dire situation.

"Death comes!"

Thunder God roared, his frame growing more massive, and a colossal Thunder God Dharma suddenly appeared, then swiftly merged into his being, escalating his aura to towering heights, embodying the full might of the Duke of Thunder.

In his hands, thunder surged like a wild silver dragon, tearing through the storm and shaking the space, cleaving the heavens and earth as if to split them apart.

In this strike, Thunder God held nothing back, pouring forth all his power into the Extreme Move.

Faced with such an Extreme Move, Jiang Li didn't dare to take it lightly. The shadow of the Divine Farmer's Cauldron appeared behind him. He raised his head high, staring directly into the silver wild dragon that overshadowed the world; his eyes reflected shining golden light.

"The Sun at Noon, Sunshine in the sky."

Through "Outer Object Transformation," illusion transformed into reality, with the Taiwei Xuan Technique incorporating the transformation of the Yang-shaped Sun, Jiang Li was now enveloped in a golden Sun Wheel, soaring into the sky.

The blazing Golden Sun collided with the thunder that overshadowed the world, and a sky-shaking boom erupted, shattering Heaven and Earth.

"Boom!"

From the collision's epicenter, violent Gang Winds destroyed the storms, intermixed with Thunder and Fire, shaking this Boundary Space. Endless ripples appeared above and below, followed by an explosion of destructive forces, as the Thunder Dragon shattered, and the Golden Sun burst open.

Both figures were almost simultaneously hurled by the deluge, each severely injured.

Thunder God's pair of Wind and Thunder Wings were charred black, his massive body ablaze with Golden Flames.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, vomited a mouthful of fresh blood into the air, which the deluge evaporated, his body covered in tatters, with much of the flesh on his left arm gone, a sorry sight to see.

After clashing with each other's Extreme Moves, both were clearly injured, but Jiang Li's wounds were far more severe than Thunder God's.

Upon witnessing this, the Mother of Lightning's eyes shone with electric light between her furrowed brows.

When one uses an Extreme Move, it means employing all their power in martial arts and magic, holding nothing back and leaving themselves significantly weakened afterward, with their True Qi at a nadir and even their physical body and Primordial Spirit exhausted.

This was the perfect opportunity.

The Mother of Lightning instantly made up her mind to abandon the thought of leaving and made a move to kill decisively.

"Go!"

A stern shout, like thunder, rang in her ears, stalling her killing intent.

Then, without hesitation, she turned into a bolt of lightning, streaking across the sky and, with Thunder God, entering the spreading ripples in the surrounding space.

At the same time, just as Jiang Li seemed about to hit the ground, an anomaly occurred in his body, which seemed to be rewinding time; he was rapidly recovering. By the time he landed, his body had returned to its original intact state, with even the lost flesh on his left arm restored.

His feet tread lightly on the ground, Jiang Li looked toward where the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning had disappeared, whispering, "I've made such a tragic act, yet she was still able to hold back..."

His left arm had a slight feeling of insubstantiality, which was the structure of the "Outer Object Transformation" changing illusion into reality. Jiang Li had materialized his divine sense, replacing flesh and blood to fill in for the missing left arm. And this loss was quickly being made up for and replaced.

Under the flow of the innate Qi, as long as the True Qi was not exhausted, Jiang Li's injuries could heal quickly, even severe injuries like the collapse of flesh were not a problem. And the "Outer Object Transformation" ensured that during the healing, his vitality did not fade.

After advancing to a certain stage in the Three Tombs, Jiang Li had completely grasped the structure of the physical body, even down to the cellular particles. In theory, even if his heart was pierced, he could patch the hole, then use "Nourishing Life Master" and the innate Qi flow for recovery.

In terms of survival, Jiang Li had maxed out his abilities.

This made it so that before and after encountering the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning, Jiang Li never smiled, the Divine Blessing Ruyi was almost rendered useless.

Unfortunately, despite his great efforts, he still couldn't keep the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning; they restrained their impulses at the critical moment and didn't fall for the trap.

But it wasn't over yet.

A stream of light flashed between Jiang Li's eyebrows, and a little red dog leapt out of the void, "Catch up to them."

Xiao Tian locked onto the Qi mechanism of the two gods, shooting through the lingering ripples like a comet, with Jiang Li following closely behind.

The intention of the two gods to retreat indicated that Feng Manlou had already taken action, and it also affected the maintenance of the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law. Under such circumstances, it was the right time for their side to chase after the victory.

Following the Qi mechanism, the man and dog passed through dozens of spatial barriers, closely following the fleeing pair.

Mist flowed continuously around them, and shadows appeared from time to time, some Heavenly Soldiers, some Yellow Turban Warriors, or even...

Suddenly, the view expanded, and Jiang Li saw a massive crowd of refugees in complete chaos.

Some were wailing, others crying out in sorrow, some frantically pushing others, running all over the place, or wantonly causing destruction. Some were even shouting "Heaven is dead," while fighting with another group of people.

In such a state, refugees were pushed to the brink; some turned to faith, while others harbored extreme hatred towards the Taiping Sect, leading to fierce fights and killings.

Women, children, and the elderly were unable to join in and became the first victims of the chaos.

'Such chaos, the gathered incense fire thought powers must also be in disarray. Cultivators on the Divine Path would probably be disturbed in their minds if they absorbed it. Can this be used to create heaven?' Jiang Li's mind raced, 'No, this isn't about creating Yellow Heaven; this is about eroding the Blue Heaven.'

To corrupt heavenly intent with human hearts, then seize the way of heaven; this was the third step in Ji Jiji's "Yin Talisman Scripture." He didn't plan to truly create another heaven; his aim was to tear the flesh from the body of heaven, seize the Way of Heaven, and use it for himself.

'The Heaven Creation Device is a ruse! Ji Jiji doesn't need to create heaven, and he might not even be able to. After all, that was the result of combining the Fuxi Dao Fruit with the power of the Three Clans, an unparalleled miracle. Even he might not be able to replicate it. Moreover, even if he succeeded, he might create another ruthless, selfless heaven, not one belonging to his Yellow Heaven.'

So, Ji Jiji wanted to steal, to seize, in order to achieve his own ends. He wanted to transform himself into the Yellow Heaven.

'Gongsun Qi, this new name really fits him to a T.'

With this in mind, Jiang Li activated the fragment of the Heavenly Mirror. A pure light burst from his brow, shining brightly, and covering everyone in front of him, bringing them all into the mirror world.

Within the fragment of the Heavenly Mirror, Gongsun Qingyue was overseeing the array on the secret island, with the assistance of fellow Dinghu Sect elders and disciples, suppressing the refugees as soon as they were absorbed. Whether they were followers of the Taiping sect or not, they were all suppressed first, to be dealt with later.

The space was cleared of refugees, and Jiang Li gave up the pursuit of the Thunder God and Mother of Lightning, turning his focus to collecting the refugees instead.

If he could take away all these million refugees, even if Ji Jiji's body appeared, it's feared he would not be able to act. Just taking away these refugees, or even...

Massacre!

A bloody notion entered Jiang Li's mind.

If things were really impossible, someone might take this as a shortcut to solve the problem.

His mind was filled with mixed thoughts, but his speed was not slow. He was about to enter the next space.

However, before he could pass through the ripples, the white fog suddenly began to dissipate, and through the haze, he could see the immense yellow clouds wrapping around a Dharma Platform held high by a giant god.

On that platform was a towering figure, over ten feet tall, taking up the great bow. Rough and ancient, the bow was ten feet long, impossible to hold unless by someone of such immense stature. The design was simple, but the countless imprints branded on it signaled an unignorable barbaric ferocity, filled with extreme evil Qi.

"It's him!"

Jiang Li of course recognized the figure; it was none other than Lu Tianpeng.

This former elder of the Dinghu Sect, a manifestation of Ji Jiji, was drawing his great bow, with a shadow of blood first appearing on the bowstring, then gradually solidifying, converging into a blood arrow thick as a spear, slanting toward the sky.

The intense evil Qi gathered, and from all directions, resentment, death Qi, and Qi of killing all converged on the blood arrow.

And then—

A blood rainbow pierced the sky, tearing a vast hole in the heavens.
