Chapter 728: The Clash of Dao Fruits

Li Hui’s face was as grim as water; this Master Ji from Kunlun Hall was incredibly powerful, having cultivated a Dao Fruit that emitted a shockwave.

A shock represents change, damage, and destruction.

This Unrivaled Calamity Master was like a tiger raised by heaven and earth, with the force of calamity akin to the tiger’s might. However, against Master Ji, it proved ineffective; even the Calamity of Forgetfulness was utterly destroyed. He had no idea how long it would take to recover from that.

If it weren’t for the Heart Talisman that he had rightly mastered, and the fact he also bore a Dao Fruit to confront Master Ji, Li Hui would have already fallen into the opponent’s hands.

At that moment, countless drops of seawater transformed into zither strings shooting toward Mufeng City. Li Hui reacted swiftly, printing out eighteen Celestial Talismans and skillfully plucking the sound of the zither, commanding all the sound-attacking spirit treasures in Mufeng City to unleash astonishing brilliance.

Mufeng City trembled, and Li Hui and Master Ji clashed fiercely, exchanging blows like swords. A massive sound echoed, and all noise vanished as both Yang Gods staggered backward, nearly collapsing.

“Cough, cough! You actually managed to wound me…” Master Ji coughed non-stop and suddenly looked down at his chest, finding that a dazzling star-like rune had somehow been burned into him, resembling the character "夭."

Li Hui’s Yang God raised its arms, and from the fingertips, his arms turned into a dark light and dissipated until they barely halted at his shoulders.

Both Yang Gods suffered damage; had they been ordinary cultivators, such an injury would take over a hundred years of hard work to recover from. However, Li Hui and Master Ji were not ordinary cultivators; in the contest of Dao, victory was just a moment away!

“Time flows and the cycle of the heavens rotates!” Li Hui’s Yang God shouted, gathering the time force from the nearby sea, consuming fifty years of lifespan in an instant, accelerating time to restore his arms.

“Bang…” Both arms were restored!

Unwilling to show weakness, Master Ji plunged his hand into his chest and forcibly tore off the “夭” character. His energy had already been damaged, but he too gathered time force to accelerate the flow of time and quickly returned to normal.

Their gazes met, both understanding that without going all out today, they could not hope to determine a victor. If they did not weaken their opponent as soon as possible, they would face countless troubles ahead.

Li Hui stamped his foot, and millions of talismans rose in the city. He invested all his hard-earned resources, waving them like a sweeping brush and sending them forward.

“Capture, capture, capture…” Master Ji spread his arms wide, and an incredible Tai Chi sphere appeared before him.

Yin-Yang energy flows clashed, twisted, and countered, whirling together and wrapping around the talismans. Whether they were elemental talismans or those that disturbed the spirit’s energy, they were all smoothed out into ashes.

Suddenly, Li Hui’s Yang God dimmed; he had paid a heavy price to control Mufeng City, unleashing all his talisman and sword cultivation in a dazzling sword light aimed straight ahead.

Master Ji retreated swiftly, stepping onto the sea to gain leverage, creating countless ripples on the water’s surface. He raised his arms and managed to clamp down on the sword light with both hands.

“Countless talismans descend, slaying immortals does not return, kill…” Li Hui roared, exerting all his strength. The opponent was the fifth figure of Nine Maangs; such cultivators advanced on the Dao with a bold and decisive heart. He felt the same, and if he did not win today, he would die!

“Kill, kill, kill…” The two simultaneously unleashed their abilities to shape the heavens and weave the earth.

Above the sky, on the sea, and in the depths, noises erupted everywhere as they battled. The sea water evaporated into vapor, half of it rippling endlessly, while the other half transformed into sword talismans, continuing to clash without respite, boundless!

“Boom, boom, boom…” Several peaks in Mufeng City were destroyed, reduced to dust scattering in the air as Li Hui’s Yang God nearly shattered.

Half of Master Ji’s body caved in; he had not encountered such damage in the past two thousand years. The fifth figure of Nine Maangs was actually beaten to this point by a junior, his gaze filled with ferocity.

“Kid, to think you could push me to this extent is enough to be proud for ten lifetimes! But I will destroy your spirit, forever cutting off your chance of reincarnation!”

Li Hui’s Yang God shimmered; he had already consumed three hundred years of lifespan and still had not recovered. He coldly huffed, “Stop talking nonsense! If you have the ability, just kill me! Let’s see who can endure the Together in Ruin.”

“Ha ha ha!” Master Ji laughed loudly, “You greatly overestimate yourself! To reach my level, it’s not as simple as wanting to perish together. Even if you can control Mufeng City, it won’t work.”

At that moment, both struck out simultaneously.

With a massive explosion, dozens of peaks in Mufeng City collapsed. Li Hui used them as a shield to crash forward, unleashing all his techniques.

Master Ji’s aura surged dramatically as he released a seal on his body, revealing a flash of light rapidly flickering on his immense Yang God’s chest.

Li Hui gasped, “Is that the Dao Fruit? I was wrong; it’s not about sound vibrations but about being unbreakable! To weaken all things in the world as his Dao, the vibrations are merely a side effect of this Dao Fruit’s transformation!”

“Ha ha ha! Now you understand! I embody the concept of being unbreakable; I am truth in this world, and any practitioner or thing that meets me must be weakened. I will take your blessings and your life; your path of talismans Against the Heavens will turn to dust!”

“Oh? Then let’s see whose Dao is more resolute.”

Li Hui went mad. One corner of Mufeng City was already shattered; no matter what means he employed, he could not contend with the fifth figure of Nine Maangs. Thus, he had only one last resort: to summon the Heart Talisman Dao Fruit, regardless of the consequences, and crash into it!

“Fool! You’ll just die faster this way!” Master Ji sneered, fully confident in his Dao Fruit, believing that anyone who wished to shake his Dao would fail in vain.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The most intense and decisive clash erupted over the sea, the entire area exploding upwards, leaving not a single drop of seawater.

A terrifying pit appeared on the ocean floor, with mud and rocks swiftly compressing toward the surrounding sea, instantly forming layered islands.

Such a scene astonished countless cultivators as the gale carried them far away; for a moment, no one knew the result of the clash.

“Ha ha ha…” Master Ji laughed, proudly proclaiming: “This is the result I hoped to see! Each time my Dao Fruit is struck by another of equal rank, it always rises; this time is no exception! Well done! I’ve forced you to your limits, exactly so you would summon the Dao Fruit to sacrifice yourself in this clash.”

Mufeng City suffered significant losses, with many residences reduced to ruins and fissures forming within the Ancient Tomb. Li Hui’s Yang God was nowhere to be found.

“Has the Yang God dissipated? But I won’t be careless.” Master Ji leaped forward into Mufeng City, surveying the surroundings and sneering, “This is the end of opposing Kunlun Hall; your spirit has sustained irreparable damage. It’s a pity you’re not one of the Nine Maangs; otherwise, you might have had a chance to preserve your Remnant Soul.”

Just as Master Ji prepared to summon Li Hui’s spirit to obliterate him, he felt a tremor in his chest.

“Oh? Still unwilling to give up? Do you want to rise from the ashes? The path I’ve walked is beyond your imagination! How could I be without a backup plan? Perish!” Master Ji’s chest throbbed, and soon faint runes scattered, seemingly signaling that Li Hui had truly lost…
