Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light was indeed formidable. Not only was its defense impenetrable, but each type of divine light had a different effect, and its destructive power was considerable. It was extremely difficult to deal with.
During the Investiture of the Gods, he had used the Five-Colored Divine Light to collect everyone's spiritual treasures and suppress them in a five-colored space. Presumably, his divine ability had not yet reached perfection at this point, and those functions had not been developed.
He used the yellow Earth Element Divine Light to entangle Jiang Yun's Star Dharma Form, making it difficult to move. When he saw that the pure cyan light sword could not cut through the Dharma Form's defenses, he used the black Water Element Divine Light together with the red Fire Element Divine Light to form a water-fire millstone, grinding the Dharma Form's outer defenses until they cracked.
While increasing the flow of star power from his acupoints and rapidly repairing the damage to his Dharma Form, Jiang Yun twisted the Dharma Form and raised his right hand, flipping away the water-fire millstone that had reached its chest. By the time the water-fire millstone was thrown away, a huge hole had already been blasted through the outer layer of the Dharma Form's chest.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan did not miss the opportunity. Using the principle of mutual generation among the Five Elements, he strengthened the white Metal Element Divine Light with the cyan Wood Element Divine Light. In an instant, the Metal Element Divine Light surged explosively, blazing with radiance as it transformed into a sharp sword light that stabbed toward the opening in the Dharma Form's chest.
The powerful white sword light, imbued with the keen edge of metal, completely sliced apart the space along its path.
Jiang Yun was located at the Tanzhong acupoint in the chest of the Star Dharma Form. Seeing the sharp sword light stabbing toward him, his heart tightened, but he did not panic. Instead, his body shifted, and three heads and six arms grew from the Dharma Form. Then, every tendon and bone in his body rang out. With a forceful burst, he temporarily broke free of the yellow Earth Element Divine Light wrapped around him. Two palms braced against the front of his chest, blocking the impact of the white sword light, while his other four hands gripped the sword-light shaft with all their strength. At the same time, the Dharma Form's body moved aside.
Kong Xuan's yellow divine light left Jiang Yun extremely frustrated. He felt as if he had fallen into a muddy field, constrained at every turn and unable to fight freely.
After barely breaking free of the yellow divine light's entanglement and blocking the incoming white sword light, he changed tactics. He stopped engaging his opponent in a positional battle and first imbued the Dharma Form with the power of the Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing Divine Ability. In an instant, the Dharma Form's strength and toughness increased severalfold. Then he used the Abyssal Shrinking Earth technique, driving the Dharma Form to leap and dart through space continuously, escaping the restraints of the yellow divine light and attacking Kong Xuan from all directions.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan also withdrew the Five-Colored Divine Light and used it to protect his body. He was the Son of the Phoenix, and the Phoenix Clan was naturally exceptionally skilled in speed. Thus, the two fought speed with speed. The only things visible were their flickering figures. One moment, they appeared on the ground, shattering the earth and sending lava spraying everywhere; the next, they appeared in the sky, breaking apart the clouds and revealing the radiance of heaven.
The Roc, who had originally been watching the battle from the side, now feared being caught in the aftershocks of their fight. With a flap of his wings, he flew ten thousand miles away.
The Five Elements Divine Light and the Star Dharma Form clashed back and forth. Although their attacks battered each other into somewhat sorry states, neither inflicted serious damage on the other. Instead, the surrounding land within ten thousand miles suffered immense collateral damage, and countless living beings endured calamity for no reason.
After another collision, the two tacitly retreated and temporarily stopped attacking. Having fought to this point, they both acknowledged the other's strength. Attacks at their current level could no longer do anything to their opponent.
"Since I began my cultivation, among cultivators in the same realm, you're the first person to force me to fight to this point. Your Five-Colored Divine Light combines offense and defense and is complex and ever-changing. It's truly impressive!" This evenly matched battle with Kong Xuan had left Jiang Yun exhilarated, and he could not help praising his opponent aloud.
"Hmph. Your physical body and Dharma Form are no worse. Your Grand Unity Realm cultivation has yet to reach perfection, yet you can fight me, someone who has already attained the Dao Fruit, to a draw. Your physical strength is even greater than mine." Hearing Jiang Yun's praise, the corners of Kong Xuan's mouth lifted slightly, and he felt somewhat pleased with himself. Through their exchange, he had been astonished by the might of his opponent's physical strength, and he sincerely expressed his recognition.
Kong Xuan felt nothing from the praise of the weak, but recognition from the strong brought him genuine pleasure.
Because he possessed the Congenital Five Elements Origin, he had easily cultivated the Five Congenital Forces to perfection in the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, establishing a perfect foundation for attaining the Dao. After earning the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, he had been bestowed the Grand Unity Dao Fruit. This Dao Fruit was the Heavenly Dao's reward for those with great perseverance, great fortune, and great wisdom. It aided one in comprehending the Dao, advancing in cultivation, and stabilizing the Dao Heart.
From another perspective, the Grand Unity Dao Fruit was also a reflection of a person's cultivation potential. Only a perfect foundation for cultivating the Dao could grant someone greater power and give them hope of entering a higher cultivation realm.
"Between us, ordinary Dao techniques and divine abilities are no longer useful. Let's bring out our respective trump cards and decide the winner with one final strike!" Jiang Yun's gaze swept across the battlefield. Seeing how much destruction their battle had caused, he was unwilling to continue dragging things out and spoke directly.
"Good~. I still haven't perfectly mastered the attack that follows, so you'd better be careful!"
"Bring it on! I'm not so easy to injure."
When the two finished speaking, the five-colored radiance behind Kong Xuan blazed to its utmost limit. Red, yellow, white, cyan, and black light began spiraling and winding together like five flood dragons.
The red light represented the power of fire, with scorching flames burning fiercely within it; the yellow light represented the power of earth, with the heavy force of the land condensing into phantom mountain ranges; the black light represented the power of water, with vast, continuous waves surging within it; the cyan light represented the power of wood, with vigorous Life Force transforming into ancient trees and vines that blotted out the sky; the white light represented the power of metal, with the murderous aura of metal and war manifesting as countless sharp blades and sword shadows.
Driven by the Five-Colored Divine Light, the Five Elements power within the five-colored radiance rapidly fused together, forming a huge five-colored ball of light. Within it, the Five Elements merged and counteracted one another, while the ceaseless cycle of their power gave birth to boundless Life Force and destructive power. Gradually, a newborn miniature world began to develop within the five-colored ball of light.
The ball of light howled as it charged toward Jiang Yun. A surge of World Power suppressed the surrounding time and space, making it seem as if time and space had halted before this force. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also madly absorbed, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy and adding another measure of power to this Five Elements fusion attack.
At the same time, after Kong Xuan began his attack, Jiang Yun did not delay in the slightest. The acupoints throughout his body circulated at full force. The acupoints within him and the phantom acupoints projected throughout the Dharma Form's body simultaneously shone brightly. The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation was activated...
Just as Jiang Yun fully activated the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation through his acupoints, far away in the Chaos Starry Sky, three hundred sixty-five Primordial Stars faintly lit up under some mysterious resonance. Then, strands of phantoms descended as Star Spiritual Energy was drawn toward an unknown place.
