Too much fruit

Chapter 1007: Creation of the World? Virtue of the Three Sovereigns
It was as if the heaven and earth returned to nothingness, and all things condensed into a singularity. An immense pressure fell on the two of them. Both Jiang Li and the Great Heavenly Venerable felt infinitely heavy, and even had an unfamiliar feeling of suffocation.

But in the next moment, Pangu Banner opened up a singularity, an unprecedented explosion occurred, and a chaotic storm swept over the bodies of the two, causing their bodies to tremble violently.

Even the two who had not been injured in the previous fierce battle felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.

Jiang Li subconsciously transformed his body into Tai Su's and held the Pangu Banner in front of him, but he didn't expect that the impulse became stronger and stronger.

The strong throbbing drove the Taisu Qi into the Pangu Banner, and even the consciousness and will were merging with the Pangu Banner. Jiang Li raised his hand again, raised the Pangu Banner high, and chopped it down again.

"boom!"

The chaotic storm roared, using chaos as the medium, resounding into the minds of the two.

The storm broke, the void was broken, and the trend of development came again.

The Great Celestial Venerable faced this might with an extremely stern expression. He immediately changed his own aura, holding the scabbarded sword in one hand and using the other hand to gather pure energy, transforming it into the Supreme Pure Dao Light, which brushed over the Qingping Sword.

It turned out that he was well versed in the skills of the Shangqing Taoist tradition!
I saw a light passing by, and rays of clear air emerged from the scabbard, transforming into a lingering green lotus. The Great Heavenly Venerable held the sword with both hands, and chopped it down again with great force. The Qingping Sword collided with the Pangu Banner again.

They were clearly two first-grade Taoist artifacts, and they were clearly two powerful warriors, but they were fighting head-on like unruly men who had no experience in cultivation, without any tricks at all.

These two Taoist weapons are too powerful, so powerful that even Jiang Li cannot control them.

Rather than saying that Jiang Li was fighting against the Great Heavenly Venerable with the Pangu Banner in his hand, it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Li was a Pangu Banner launcher, a humanoid self-propelled frame. He even had a feeling that he was being controlled by the Pangu Banner in reverse.

The impulse is constantly growing stronger, and one's own Yuan Qi...it can't even be called Yuan Qi, but all the energy that can be mobilized is surging out like a tide, and the amount is constantly increasing.

If this continues, Jiang Li feels that he will be drained dry.

However, with such huge support, the power of Pangu Banner also increased rapidly.

During the second collision, the Three Pure Heavens shook, and the starry sky of the universe seemed to return to nothingness. Each star was dimming, or even disappearing.

The divine shadows on the Great Celestial Venerable shattered one after another, and at the same time Jiang Li also felt that Tai Su's body was shaking violently, and it was on the verge of collapse.

'We must act quickly.'

With this thought in mind, Jiang Li suddenly stretched out his left hand and grasped a mysterious aura. Endless decay gathered and condensed into a dark sword shadow in his hand.

He stabbed with his sword, and the sword shadow directly hit the Qingping Sword, causing the aura of the end of the law to collide with the Qinglian.

Silently, the blue lotus dimmed and half of it disappeared, and the great force of the opening up suddenly came crashing down, and in an instant -

"boom!"

Almost half of the heaven and earth inside the Great Celestial Venerable's body collapsed, the Qingping Sword was suppressed, and the Shangqing Dao Light rolled back, shocking the Great Celestial Venerable's body.

But at the same time, the force of the end of the law that was drawn in also broke out, and endless decay swept across, combined with the collision of the two Taoist artifacts, expanding outward. Wherever it passed, there was nothingness, no light, not even darkness, only pure nothingness.

Jiang Li and the Great Tianzun simultaneously turned into streams of light and retreated violently in two directions.

The Great Celestial Lord flew out of the collision range like a meteor and slammed into a nearby star.

Afterwards, the light of Shangqing Dao reappeared, and the Great Celestial Venerable broke out from the stars. He looked at Jiang Li coldly, then turned into light and left, heading straight for the entrance of Sanqingtian.

At the same time, the Buddha's light that illuminated the starry sky suddenly converged, and a huge Buddha disappeared into the void.

Now that the Three Pure Ones' Taoist instruments were all found and there was still Karma Tathagata blocking their way, the two Tathagatas had no choice but to retreat.

After retreating three thousand miles, Jiang Li suddenly stopped moving forward, and the Pangu Banner moved forward, touching the void.

Silently, a certain clarity emerged from the void, and then several blows fell in succession, and the void quickly disappeared.

Jiang Li felt that the impulse was about to reach its limit. He kept waving the Pangu Banner, splitting the void and breaking the decay that was about to erupt. All the strength in his body was pouring out madly, and even the [One-foot Hammer] seemed to be unable to replenish it.

"I...I am Pangu?"

Emperor Jiang almost couldn't hold back from cursing, as this Pangu Banner was apparently going to open up the Three Pure Heavens again.

Just like the legendary Pangu, who held an axe to create the world, separate the clear from the turbid, and enlighten all things, Jiang Li is now also enjoying the same treatment as Pangu.

However, Pangu eventually died of exhaustion, and Jiang Li...if he continues like this, he will die of exhaustion sooner or later.

There was no need for him to fight head-on with the End of the Law, he would be drained by the Pangu Banner. The power consumed was constantly increasing, and when it reached a certain limit, with a bang, he was drained completely, the kind that even the [One-foot Hammer] could not make up for.

But at this moment, the Pangu Banner seemed to be stuck to his hand and could not be released at all.

Even in Jiang Li's perception, the Pangu Banner was already connected to his existence. Even if the arm holding the banner was cut off, it would still continue to consume energy.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The development continued, Pangu Banner waved, and the clear and bright world at the beginning was reappearing from small to large. But Jiang Li already felt that his recovery could not keep up with the consumption.

"Taishi!"

He used all his strength to activate the magical power of [Emperor comes out of shock], ordering his own power to reverse the innate nature and transform from Tai Su to Tai Shi.

The body was collapsing, and the essence of Tai Su was turning into nothingness and chaos. It was obvious that he was about to take the third step of reversing his innate nature in one step.

He gripped the Pangu Banner even more tightly, sensing the force that was splitting open the chaos, and his body completely turned into chaos.

All perceptions were disappearing, the six senses were disappearing one by one, the perceptions of mortals, even the perceptions of practitioners, no longer existed. Even the sense of space and time that was possessed by the powerful realm of strength no longer existed.

The five senses come from the physical body, and the sixth sense comes from the soul. When the Tai Su body condensed by the Three Elements turns into chaos, the physical body and the soul no longer exist, leaving only a form.

"At times like this, we can only rely on metaphysical will."

The body that had completely collapsed turned into a figure, but Jiang Li did not show any panic. A thought flashed through his mind, and he carefully felt the special situation. Then, just like hundreds of times before, he controlled himself and gently released the Pangu Banner.

Purely speaking, at this moment, Jiang Li was just a phantom-like figure. Even in the perception of others, this phantom might not even exist.

The disappearance of matter causes all perceptions based on matter to disappear, whether it is Jiang Li’s or others’.

Even the light and divine thoughts disappeared when they came into contact with Jiang Li, so how could they be fed back to others for perception?

For this reason, Jiang Li severed the connection between the Pangu Banner and himself and let go of the Pangu Banner easily without any ripples.

He began to use a metaphysical perception to "see" the world, and also to "see" Pangu Banner. In Jiang Li's perception, Pangu Banner was like another kind of chaos, seemingly non-existent, but it was like the source of all things, with an invisible "heaviness".

These three pure heavens are the alternation of all things and all nothingness, changing only according to the Tao.

And the Dharma Ending Period...

Jiang Li sensed the Three Pure Heavens and searched for a while. He could clearly grasp the sense of decline, but he did not sense the real existence of the Dharma Ending Age.

Decline is caused by the pathology of the source of Yuan Qi. In essence, it comes from the pathology of the Three Pure Ones, and the Five Turbidities and Evil Qi are another form of spiritual inspiration.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Li was able to use the decay to turn into a sword and suppress the power of the Qingping Sword.

As for the "End of Dharma" that led to the fall of the Three Pure Ones, no one still knows what it is.

“It’s really…amazing.”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Li's figure turned into a body, and then turned into a body, transforming from Tai Shi to Tai Chi, and returning to his normal form.

The Sanqingtian before you comes into view. It is a dilapidated starry sky, and there is a Qingming area with a radius of 5,000 miles centered on itself.

A golden light burst into the area, revealing the figure of Sun Wukong. The monkey looked around with a grin, and said to Jiang Li, "You are finally back to normal. I thought you were going to split the world apart."

"I don't have the ability to create the world."

Jiang Li laughed when he heard that, shook his head, and glanced around. When he found that the Great Celestial Venerable had disappeared as he had sensed before, he said with some regret: "What a pity, we only got one of the Three Pure Ones, and the Great Celestial Venerable was gone."

As for Hanba, he must have left Sanqingtian before the Great Celestial Master came to seize the Qingping Sword.

The Great Lord would never let such a capable assistant die here.

"Jiang Tanyue severely injured the Great Celestial Venerable. He will not be able to make any progress in the short term."

Lights and shadows flickered, and Karma Tathagata, wearing a pitch-black robe, emerged from the darkness. He stood tall, with one hand behind his back and the other hand slowly moving his rosary beads. He said, "As for the two Tathagatas, Shakyamuni and Mahavairocana, the confused see that they have already condensed their Dharma images and have a foundation. Sooner or later, they will restore their true bodies. Please pay attention."

This person's appearance was so sudden that Jiang Li was unable to notice it immediately. There was a hint of demonic aura boiling in him, which was able to affect the minds of Jiang Li and Sun Wukong inadvertently.

It is obvious that Karma Tathagata benefited greatly from this battle.

Nothing can better promote the fusion of Pozun's Tao fruit than single-handedly repelling Sakyamuni Tathagata and Vairocana Tathagata.

If he could kill these two Tathagatas, Karma Tathagata would probably be able to directly achieve the second level of Taoism.

"Restore your true form..."

Hearing this, Jiang Li said leisurely: "The era of the second rank is coming."

Daojun and Dazun were promoted, and two Tathagatas made a comeback. Now, Da Tianzun has obtained the Qingping Sword. It's time to update the version.

Not long after Emperor Jiang became invincible in Shenzhou, the time came for a version update. In the blink of an eye, the version was somewhat outdated again.

But think about it carefully, if Jiang Li had not killed the Heavenly Lord and forced the Great Master away, this wave of version updates might not have come so soon.

All we can say is that everything in this world is truly unpredictable. Even the most powerful Yi Dao masters dare not claim to have fully understood all the changes that will occur in the future.

"And there are the Three Pure Ones... I don't know if it's a coincidence or destiny that the Three Pure Ones' Taoist artifacts were divided into three groups this time." Jiang Li looked at the Pangu Banner again and said.

It seems that the Three Pure Ones have fallen, and even because of the Dharma Ending Age, even the chance of resurrection has been cut off. At least for now, it is impossible for the Three Pure Ones to be resurrected.

Judging from the reaction of Pangu Banner, although the Three Pure Ones fell, they may have left a backup plan.

At least, Jiang Li was troubled by the Pangu Banner.

He thought for a moment, and then asked the Tathagata: "The layman should have successfully devoured the true spirit of Poxun by now, right? Do you know the specific situation of the Dharma Ending Age?"

The third-level Sun Wukong died in the Dharma Ending Age before he even realized what was happening, and only his true spirit and Tao fruit were left.

As the original owner of the second-grade Dao Fruit and the most difficult demon to destroy among all living beings, Poxun should be able to hold on a little longer and know more details.

"It's still a little short of the mark, but the true spirit of Po Xun has indeed been devoured by the bewildered person by 99%."

Karma Tathagata nodded and explained the situation of Poxun's true spirit in a lighthearted manner, "The lost one was only one step away from the Tathagata fruition, but he died in a conspiracy. He survived in the world with his other half, and achieved the state of great nirvana, so he was able to suppress Poxun in both the Buddha and the devil. During this period of seclusion, he has basically completed the work of the devil and the Buddha."

"As for the End of the Dharma, Po Xun didn't know much. He only knew that the Three Pure Heavens suddenly changed. The enemies of the Three Pure Heavens came from outside the sky. The two sides fought, and the aftermath swept across the Thirty-three Heavens, causing the immortals and gods to perish one by one. Even many second-grade gods were knocked down to the mortal world by a great force. Afterwards, there was the Wa Emperor who repaired the sky again, the Xi Emperor protected the law, and Amitabha rushed to the Three Pure Heavens. It seemed that all the first-grade gods had experienced a great war, which led to the full outbreak of the End of the Dharma."

"So, all the first-grade ones have perished?" Jiang Li asked with a question, yet with certainty.

At least for now, it seems that the Three Pure Ones have fallen. It has also been discovered that Emperor Xi and Emperor Nuwa left behind Tao fruits, and they also fell. But I don't know if they, like the Three Pure Ones, did not even leave behind their true spirits.

Seeing the thoughtful look on Jiang Li's face, Ye Tathagata seemed to have guessed what Jiang Li was thinking, and said: "I don't know how Queen Wa is, but the situation of Queen Xi and Emperor Yan and Huang should be very bad. Even if there are true spirits left, they should be extremely weak."

"Ok?"

Jiang Li frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Karma Tathagata said slowly: "The great catastrophe of the Dharma Ending is from top to bottom. When the sky falls, the tall people will have to bear it first, whether they are willing or not. However, even some of the aftermath of the Dharma Ending is enough to kill all the lowest beings. For ordinary people, the first and second grades are not tall people, but giant gods holding up the sky."

"Even if it's just a small stone falling from the sky, it can cause great damage. Why is it that after the end of the law, a large number of humans and various beasts and monsters survived?"

The human race today did not reproduce from scratch, and the same is true for today's animals.

Even after the end of the Dharma, some great demons survived and experienced a great war with humans.

The low-grade Dao fruits of those demons and monsters were refined by killing real demons and monsters after the Dharma Ending Age.

Even in the series of wars, the Feng family suffered heavy losses, which led to their decline until their foundation was divided up.

Jiang Li pondered the reason behind this, and his eyes narrowed. "What you mean, sir, is that the Three Emperors have saved the world, at least partially?"

"It is precisely because of the protection of the Three Emperors that Poxun fell. Otherwise, as long as the evil thoughts existed, he would be almost immortal, and even Sakyamuni Tathagata could not kill him." Karma Tathagata revealed the cause of Poxun's death.

For an old devil like this, apart from other things, his survivability skills are definitely maxed out. Moreover, they don't have any noble sentiments of sacrificing themselves generously, they are bad to the end and will never be whitewashed.

In this situation, Mara will die, either all living beings in the world will be destroyed, or someone will forcibly sever the connection between Mara and the evil thoughts in the world.

Now, the mystery is solved. It was the Three Emperors who sent this old devil to death.

However, in the Dharma-Ending Age, to accomplish such a major feat and even protect a large number of lives, the cost to the Three Emperors will definitely not be small.

"No wonder the sky has become like this."

Jiang Li was somewhat surprised. "No wonder after the annihilation of the demon race, the human race's faith basically turned to the Three Emperors, but the Three Emperors' true spirits never awakened."

Even if they were not as good at using the power of incense as the Buddhists, they should have awakened long ago with such a large amount. As a result, the Three Emperors' true spirits never appeared in the world, and even the Heaven with Fuxi Daoguo as its core began to bypass restrictions and try to dominate the human world.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Li’s previous worries seemed a little unnecessary.

"Sure enough, my character is not very good. No wonder Xuanyuan Sword rejected me."

Jiang Li thought to himself with some self-mockery, and then said helplessly: "What a pity."

"Yes, what a pity." Ye Tathagata also sighed.

Although they had obtained a source of information, they still did not know much about the Dharma Ending Age.

There was no way, the old devil, Boxun, had never thought of going to Sanqingtian to find out the situation, and was only thinking about surviving. It was actually good enough to know the general situation.

"Fortunately, through the layman, I can confirm that the Three Emperors should be on our side," Jiang Li said with regret, "If we can awaken the true spirits of the Three Emperors, we may be able to know more."

Although Emperor Jiang has killed countless people, is cruel and ruthless, disrespects his ancestors, and loves to eat dumplings, from the perspective of the Three Emperors, he should still be considered a good person.

At least, compared to that anthropomorphic fellow Tianjun, Emperor Jiang has made great contributions to the human race.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the Three Emperors' true spirits becoming hostile to Jiang Li after they are revived.

The divine consciousness wandered within the body, and the Yuan Qi flowed into the ochre whip and the Shennong Cauldron.

Jiang Li plans to touch the Yan Emperor Dao Fruit to see if he can awaken the true spirit of his ancestor.

"It's time to speed up the interpretation of the Green Emperor Dao Fruit. Time is running out."

Thinking of this, Jiang Li reached out again and grabbed the Pangu Banner, "It's just right, I got this Taoist tool, it can help me reverse the five turbidities."
