Essence Qi was undifferentiated, chaos unified as one, this was Taiji.

Form existed with substance, yet without a completed body, this was Taixu.

From the combination of the Eight Trigrams into the Four Symbols, then returning to the two elements, transforming into Taiji, it was the symbol of all Qi returning to one. Before Taiji, there was the primordial state where Heaven and Earth were undivided, with substance but no body, known as Taixu.

Using the profound mysteries of Yi Dao, Jiang Li borrowed the power of the heavens to deduce the future, and under the infusion of the power of the heavens, he forcibly derived the primordial phenomenon of the time when Heaven and Earth were undivided.

Although far from the real Innate Taixu, possessing only a fraction of its phenomenon, when it appeared, it still allowed Jiang Li to block Gongsun Qi's punch of all transformations returning to one.

Because the body was erased.

Heaven has a celestial body, mountains have a mountainous body, humans have a human body, even Qi has a body, Magic and Martial Arts are also a type of body, shaping one's own True Qi into a special "body" with various powers.

When Taixu destroyed the "body", erasing the "body", the moves collapsed and could not form, and the force also dispersed into a mass, thus Gongsun Qi's punch was easily blocked without achieving anything.

This display, not only shocked Gongsun Qi but also made the Great Venerable unconsciously widen his dragon pupils.

Then, Jiang Li's sleeves were raised in unison, his hair dancing wildly, both seeming to penetrate into the void, reaching into the infinitely distant beyond, his sleeves merged into the cosmos, turning the canopy of heaven into his garment.

Taixu's Body, with substance but no body, allowed Jiang Li to further merge with the heavens, at that moment he was like the heavens descending, gradually losing the constraints of form, embracing the power of the heavens.

Behind him, the Taiji further evolved, the Great Venerable's gaze directly pierced through, and the net on Jiang Li's body also completely merged within him.

At the same time, purple-green lightning thundered down, striking the Candle Dragon, instantly shattering the Dragon Scales.

"Heaven's Punishment! Damn it!"

The Great Venerable swayed his dragon body, his body flashing with Cosmic Light, the shattered Dragon Scales reversed, returning to his body, and even the injuries fully healed.

He lifted his huge head, shrouded in mist, where a vast human face and eyes like the sun and the moon were faintly visible, blinking, darkness fell upon the world, "Darkness and Brightness."

All around was devoid of light, utterly silent, as time came to a halt.

When the Candle Dragon opened its eyes, the world was bright; when it closed them, the world was dark. This Divine Ability "Darkness and Brightness" therefore evolved into two functions, at the moment the Great Venerable closed his eyes to obscure the world and stop the Cosmic Light.

The already formidable Cosmic Light Divine Ability was further strengthened by the Candle Dragon closing its eyes, plunging everything in the world into silence, even the Great Venerable and Gongsun Qi remained so.

The strength of this Divine Ability was great, causing Gongsun Qi also to be unable to exempt himself with power, but its disadvantage was that it also rendered the Great Venerable unable to move.

However, there was one person who was not included in this.

Jiang Li vibrated his sleeves in midair, his sleeves merging into the sky creating a tempest, shaking the dark world, sweeping the stagnant Cosmic Light, and in an instant, the world transitioned from extreme stillness to extreme motion, his form shifting, and wherever he passed, whether the cosmic stars nor Milo's Realm began to crumble.

He swept across the sky, instantly closing in on the Great Venerable.

But at the same time, the Candle Dragon opened its eyes!

"Buzz!"

The sky changed from dark to bright, everything became illuminated, even Jiang Li, who had merged with heaven and Earth, paused at this moment.

In that instant, Yellow Cloud surged, Milo's Realm actively expanded but suddenly contracted upon approaching, completely merging into Gongsun Qi's body, Heavenly Palace Illusion, infinite golden light, and Yellow Cloud converging around him, striking in one hit, countless Handprints striking Jiang Li.

These Handprints, returning to simplicity, bore no signs of momentum, but the imprints on the palms revealed all sorts of entities, transforming into the forms of myriad things.

Thousands of Handprints like meteorites, fell on Jiang Li's body, bursting forth with unmatched power, yet these forces seemed empty in the middle, causing no ripples.

Jiang Li, one with the expanse of the sky, could accept any attack with the vast broadness of heaven, unharmed and untouched. These thousand meteors left only trails in the sky, and like the previous "Darkness and Brightness", they all failed to affect Jiang Li.

While Jiang Li had regained his ability to move and was about to launch another attack...

"Not right, Heaven is further assimilating me." Jiang Li suddenly realized.

Unconsciously, he found his own emotions gradually becoming indifferent, seeing only Gongsun Qi and the Great Venerable as enemies to be expelled. Logically, even if he were to take action, he should have focused on Gongsun Qi.

Even his own body gradually losing form and merging further with Heaven didn't concern him.

"Is Heaven deceiving me? No, it's not... it's Gongsun Qi."

Eyes flickering with light, Jiang Li still could use his almost endless calculation power, noticing that his changes had started occurring while he was fiercely fighting with Gongsun Qi.

Gongsun Qi undoubtedly had the deepest understanding of Heaven, as he was also very clear about the process of assimilation, having experienced it himself. If it were him, he could intensify this process.

"If this continues, I'm afraid I will completely merge with Heaven."

As this thought surfaced, a natural sense of rejection arose in Jiang Li's heart, and the resonance with Heaven immediately weakened, causing the Eight Trigrams behind him to fade.

Heaven would age if it had emotions, when human hearts and Heavenly intent clashed, both sides naturally split, unable to continue merging. Gongsun Qi was indeed the creator of the Yin Talisman Scripture and his understanding of Heaven even surpassed the Great Venerable.

At that instant, Gongsun Qi's form dispersed, turning intangible, and thick Yellow Cloud enveloped the bloody red hole above Jiang Li's head.

Intensifying the merger between Jiang Li and Heaven was only to provoke thoughts of rejection in Jiang Li; Gongsun Qi was waiting for this moment.

He was originally close to Jiang Li because he was attacking him, but now suddenly turning about, Jiang Li, due to the change in his thoughts, couldn't react in time, letting Gongsun Qi touch the wound of Heaven.

"Excellent strategy."

Jiang Li couldn't help but praise his Sect Leader uncle's clever methods, as he could even turn such a situation around, but Jiang Li was not willing to let his strategy succeed.

The intensified thoughts of rejection within his heart couldn't be dismissed, or else Jiang Li would be further assimilated. Thus, a thought arose in his mind.

He pulled at the surging waves, soaring into the skies, and broke into the Yellow Cloud. The Taixu mist mingled with Heaven's Milo's Realm, and though there was no overwhelming advantage as before, it still caused the Yellow Cloud to twist and crack.

Simultaneously, imaginary long rivers suddenly appeared, filling the sky, even covering the bloody red hole, and soon after, the illusion of the Candle Dragon appeared within the rivers.

"Cosmic Light rotating."

The Great Venerable let out a long howl, with beams of flowing light emerging around him, connecting to the imaginary rivers.

Illusory light flickered within those rivers, displaying scenes from the earlier three-way combat. All these Candle Dragons were left by the Great Venerable at that time.

He sent his attacks to the future through the Cosmic Light Divine Ability and detonated them at this moment.

The Great Venerable had also laid his plans in advance, and upon seeing Gongsun Qi's action, he revealed his trump card.

Candle Dragon roared through the sky, numerous Dragon Claws reached out from the rivers, grabbing towards the bloody red hole along with the Great Venerable himself.

Milo's Realm, like fabric being tugged, within which Yellow Cloud surged, a misty phenomenon like clouds streaked across, directly aiming for the bloody red hole.

When Taixu's Phenomenon contacted the bloody red hole, it was visibly unstable, like the Great Sun standing still, and then the sun wheel-like surface began to distort, the fluid inside steamed into blood mist, spreading outwards.

Taixu's Qi was eliminating its "body."

Candle Dragon, Yellow Cloud, Taixu Cloud Qi, the three collided, twisting into bizarre scenes, and then—

"Boom!"

The bloody sun-like entity suddenly exploded, covering the heavens and the earth in red.
