Chapter 586: Chapter 585: Three Punches Knock Down Bai Hongtu

Unlike the previous fight with Bai Hongtu, this time, in addition to Yu Yin, there were numerous Immortal Artifacts.

A moment of carelessness could rewrite the trajectory of celestial bodies, drastically altering the starry sky.

Jiang Li and Yu Yin exchanged a glance, each understanding the other’s intent, choosing to breach the boundary and enter the Void for battle.

Bai Hongtu followed closely, setting up a formation around himself, placing protective talismans close to his body, enabling him to stay in the Void without sustaining damage.

The battle echoed in the Void. Yu Yin’s vitality surged like a mighty ocean, swallowing everything in the world, while Jiang Li appeared ordinary, with no hint of a cultivator’s presence.

Launching an assault first, Yu Yin dove into close combat, her fist swinging in a lethal arc that was utterly dominating in its strength and sturdiness.

In terms of might and dominance, Jiang Li had never seen anyone surpass Yu Yin. Even male cultivators couldn’t throw a punch like hers.

The punch required high levels of skill, mentality, and character. Many of Yu Yin’s peers had been traumatized just by the punch, often waking up startled even in their dreams.

Jiang Li didn’t hold back either. He swung both fists, going against Yu Yin with raw strength, the energy from their clash radiating outwards and affecting the Jiuzhou world, altering its trajectory.

Their movements were near their limits, with the phantom images of their fists flashing in the Void.

Every time a phantom image of a fist appeared, it indicated hundreds of fist collisions.

“Even outside the Jiuzhou world, your augmented power hasn’t waned?” Jiang Li was surprised. Here they were in the Void, yet Yu Yin’s strength from the country’s destiny and the Spirit Plant array showed no sign of diminishing.

He was using the same strength he had used in his fight with Bai Hongtu.

Yu Yin remained silent as she took a step that spanned thousands of light years, with Jiang Li closely following her, continuing their clash.

Moving incessantly, Yu Yin became more and more distant from Jiuzhou, finally stopping about 20,000 light years away, saying calmly, “This is the limit for power augmentation. If we go any further, the power will start to diminish.”

20,000 light years was merely nearby Jiuzhou, not too far away, yet this news was enough to amuse Jiang Li.

Seeing Yu Yin’s dissatisfaction with the distance, Bai Hongtu protested from afar, “You should be grateful, anyone else laying out this formation would not be able to achieve this effect.”

Yu Yin ignored Bai Hongtu and ripped the Heshan Stone from around her neck, hurling it towards Jiang Li. Jiang Li tore open a rift in space, the Heshan Stone plunging headfirst into the spatial crack.

The tower of Brahma spun on its axis, opening a channel in space to help the Heshan Stone escape its predicament.

Yu Yin activated the Tower of Brahma, opening and closing channels above and below the Heshan Stone. As the stone flew through the upper channel and reappeared through the lower one, with each circulation, the Heshan Stone’s speed increased a notch, eventually approaching the speed of light.

As it neared the speed of light, the space around the Heshan Stone was warped, everything seemed to be moving at a turtle’s pace, and Jiang Li was almost stationary.

Yu Yin pointed towards Jiang Li, the maximally accelerated Heshan Stone shot forth, giving him no time to react.

Jiang Li who was moving slowly suddenly picked up speed, reaching a velocity near that of the Heshan Stone, extending two fingers in a plucking gesture and grabbed onto the stone.

His action seemed ordinary, like casually catching a stone thrown by a child playing at the seaside, but considering the sheer speed required to pull this off, it was extraordinarily terrifying.

Jiang Li let go, and the Heshan Stone, influenced by his ability to ensure success, struck Jiang Li’s chest, although the stone had lost all its inertia at this point and had no force left in it.

The Immortal Light Cataclysmic Thunder Flower burst into bloom, like a colossal flower, appeared from below Jiang and enveloped him.

The four calamities of earth, fire, wind, and water emerged from the flower, transforming into four Immortal Beasts guarding the four corners of the Immortal Realm. The White Tiger rode the wind, the Azure Dragon governed the water, the Xuan Turtle was as solid as rock, and the Vermilion Bird was endowed with a vibrant immortal flame.

The four Immortal Beasts seemed as if they had come to life, their gaze revealing a certain agility.

Jiang Li molded a spell in his hand and the Netherworld Ghost Flame appeared in his palm, consuming the Vermilion Bird’s immortal flame. Utilizing the force of the White Tiger’s wind, he made the Netherworld Ghost Flame more intense.

The Xuan Turtle attacked Jiang Li, whom in response, punched it out of the range of the Immortal Light Cataclysmic Thunder Flower.

The Azure Dragon spouted water, which, on colliding with the Netherworld Ghost Flame, caused the flame to emit the wails of countless ghosts.

Countless fierce ghosts crawled out from the Netherworld Ghost Flame and swarmed onto the Azure Dragon, devouring it completely.

The fierce ghosts returned to the Netherworld Ghost Flame, causing it to expand significantly.

The Azure Dragon was transformed from an Immortal Thunder. The fierce ghosts devouring the Azure Dragon was the equivalent of allowing Immortal Thunder to enter the Ghost Flame.

There was a violent explosion, and the Ghost Flame exploded, making the several-times amplified ghost flame return to its original form.

The Immortal Light Cataclysmic Thunder Flower bloomed again, facing Yu Yin, who was wielding the true Phoenix White Flame.

The black and white flames intertwined. The Dragon Ball bathed in a blue glow, shielding Yu Yin; this protected her from being corroded by the Netherworld Ghost Flame.

Jiang Li collected all the flames, concentrating the fire into his right fist, forming a cone, and punched at the light beam.

There was a crack, and the light beam shattered.

“Stone to Gold.”

Jiang Li touched his finger to Yu Yin’s arm, and gold spread across her forearm, soon covering her entire arm.

The Great Confucian Word Post automatically wrote the character for “return” and pasted it onto Yu Yin’s golden arm. The color receded from the arm and it returned to normal.

“Turning Illusion into Reality.”

Jiang Li cast a spell, transforming the Void surrounding Yu Yin into a solid entity, trapping her within.

“Is this the Way of Yin and Yang?” Yu Yin raised an eyebrow. It was her first time seeing such a spell, but she quickly saw its essence.

“Yes.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was a new spell Jiang Li had developed when he studied the Way of Yin and Yang. It could solidify the Void, which was incredibly terrifying and hadn’t been used before.

Yu Yin punched the wall of the cage. The solidified Void cage didn’t move an inch.

“Between illusion and reality lies but a thought.” Yu Yin held a brush in hand and lightly sketched on the cage wall, causing the cage to revert to its void-like state.

“The Way of Creation?” Jiang Li was surprised.

“That’s what the Immortal Elder said so,” Yu Yin replied truthfully. No cultivator in Jiuzhou mastered the Way of Creation, not even the long-lasting Immortal Elder.

Yu Yin combined her painting and writing techniques and gleaned something strange from the fusion. She asked the Immortal Elder about it, only to learn that this was the rudimentary form of the Way of Creation.

Illusion and reality belonged to both Yin and Yang, and they were also products of Creation.

Yu Yin used her painting technique to draw an image of Bai Hongtu on the Great Confucian Word Post.

Three late-stage Earth Immortal versions of Bai Hongtu materialized and besieged Jiang Li.

Originally, the Great Confucian Word Post could only summon Golden Armored Guards at the early stage of Earth Immortality. With Yu Yin’s painting technique’s augmentation, it directly increased the summoned guard’s power to the peak Earth Immortal level!

Three peak-stage Earth Immortals were not to be underestimated. They could even give Heavenly Immortals a fight, capable of battling for hundreds of rounds before defeat, demonstrating their incomparable strength.

Jiang Li maintained his state at the Heavenly Immortal Stage, and the three Bai Hongtus could entangle with him for quite some time.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Li launched a punch at each Bai Hongtu.

The three Bai Hongtus turned back into ink and returned to the Great Confucian Word Post.

“Jiang Li, dammit! Don’t you dare say those punches were at the Heavenly Immortal Stage!” Bai Hongtu yelled out from the sidelines.

“You’re making me angry by just being there, I couldn’t help but use my real power.” Jiang Li replied nonchalantly, and continued trading blows with Yu Yin.

Yu Yin threw the Heshan Stone towards Jiang Li again, who increased his power to the Golden Immortal Stage and punched the Heshan Stone, aiding its metamorphosis.
