Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light was indeed formidable. Not only was its defense impenetrable, but each divine light also possessed unique effects, inflicting considerable damage and making it extremely troublesome.

During the Investiture of the Gods, he was only seen using the Five-Colored Divine Light to collect others' Spiritual Treasures and suppress them within a five-colored space. It's likely his divine abilities hadn't reached their peak then, and these functions hadn't been developed yet.

He used the yellow Earth Element Divine Light to entangle Jiang Yun's Dharma Form, hindering its movement. Seeing that the pure green light sword couldn't break through the Dharma Form's defense, he combined the black Water Element Divine Light with the red Fire Element Divine Light to form a water-and-fire grinding mill, which began to crack the outer layer of the Dharma Form's defense.

While increasing the flow of Star Power from his acupoints to rapidly repair the Dharma Form's damage, Jiang Yun twisted the Dharma Form. He raised its right hand and flung away the water-and-fire grinding mill that had flowed to its chest. As the grinding mill was thrown off, a huge gap was also blasted open on the outer layer of the Dharma Form's chest.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan didn't miss the opportunity. Based on the principle of the five elements generating each other, he used the green Wood Element Divine Light to strengthen the white Metal Element Divine Light. In an instant, the Metal Element Divine Light surged, emitting a brilliant radiance and transforming into a sharp sword light that stabbed towards the gap in the Dharma Form's chest.

The powerful white sword light, laced with the sharp edge of metal, sliced through the space along its path.

Jiang Yun, located at the Tancang point on the chest of the Star Dharma Form, saw the sharp sword light approaching. His heart tightened, but he didn't panic. Instead, he transformed, growing three heads and six arms on the Dharma Form. Then, with a burst of power that resonated through his bones and sinews, he temporarily broke the yellow Earth Element Divine Light wrapped around him. He placed two palms in front of his chest to block the impact of the white sword light, while the other four hands forcefully grasped the body of the light sword. The Dharma Form's body also shifted to the side.

Jiang Yun was greatly annoyed by Kong Xuan's yellow divine light, feeling as if he were stuck in mud, making his fighting style restricted and unenjoyable.

After briefly breaking free from the yellow divine light's entanglement and blocking the incoming white sword light, he changed his strategy. He abandoned positional warfare and instead first empowered the Dharma Form with the Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing Divine Ability. Instantly, the Dharma Form's strength and resilience doubled. Then, he used the Abyssal Shrinking Earth technique, causing the Dharma Form to continuously leap and weave through space, escaping the restraint of the yellow divine light and attacking Kong Xuan from all directions.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan also withdrew the Five-Colored Divine Light to protect himself. As the son of a Phoenix, the Phoenix clan was naturally adept at speed. Thus, the two engaged in a battle of speed. Their figures flickered, appearing on the ground one moment, causing it to crack and lava to spew forth, and then in the sky the next, scattering clouds and revealing the heavens.

The Great Peng, who had been watching from the sidelines, now feared being caught in the aftermath of their battle. It flapped its wings and flew tens of thousands of miles away.

The two, with their Five-Colored Divine Light and Star Dharma Form, exchanged blows. Although they battered each other into a sorry state, neither inflicted significant damage on the other. Instead, the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles was greatly affected, and countless living beings suffered unintended disasters.

After another clash, they tacitly retreated, temporarily ceasing their attacks. At this point, both acknowledged each other's strength; the current level of attacks could no longer overcome the other.

"Since I began my journey, you are the first cultivator of the same realm to push me to this extent. Your Five-Colored Divine Light is both offensive and defensive, complex and ever-changing. It is truly remarkable!" Jiang Yun fought this evenly matched battle with Kong Xuan with such exhilaration that he couldn't help but praise his opponent.

"Hmph, your physical Dharma Form is no less impressive. You haven't reached Grand Perfection in the Grand Unity realm yet, yet you can fight me, who has already attained the Dao Fruit, to a standstill. Your physical strength surpasses mine." Kong Xuan heard Jiang Yun's praise, a slight smile playing on his lips, feeling a bit of pride. Through their exchange, he was also amazed by the toughness of the opponent's physical strength and earnestly expressed his recognition.

Kong Xuan felt nothing from the praise of the weak, but the acknowledgment from the strong brought him joy, both physically and mentally.

Because he possessed the Congenital Five Elements Origin, he easily reached Grand Perfection in the Congenital Five Qi at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, achieving a perfect foundation for enlightenment. He received recognition from the Heavenly Dao and was bestowed the Grand Unity Dao Fruit. This Dao Fruit was a reward from the Heavenly Dao to those with great perseverance, great fortune, and great wisdom, aiding in enlightenment and stabilizing the Dao heart.

From another perspective, the Grand Unity Dao Fruit was also a manifestation of one's cultivation potential. Only a perfect foundation for cultivation could grant one greater power and the hope of reaching higher cultivation realms.

"Ordinary Daoist magic and divine abilities are no longer effective between us. Let's bring out our trump cards for a final blow to decide the winner!" Jiang Yun's gaze swept across the battlefield. Seeing the extensive destruction caused by their fight, he was unwilling to delay any further and spoke directly.

"Alright~ Be careful, as I haven't fully mastered this next move yet!"

"Bring it on! I won't be injured that easily."

As their voices fell, five-colored radiance erupted behind Kong Xuan, shining to its extreme. Red, yellow, white, green, and black lights began to coil and intertwine like five dragons.

The red light represented the power of fire, with scorching flames burning fiercely within. The yellow light represented the power of earth, with heavy earth energy condensing into mountain phantom images. The black light represented the power of water, with vast, continuous tidal waves surging and churning within. The green light represented the power of wood, with vigorous life force transforming into ancient trees and vines covering the sky. The white light represented the power of metal, with the sharp, murderous intent of clashing weapons and swords manifesting countless sharp blade and sword shadows.

Under the guidance of the Five-Colored Divine Light, the five elements within this five-colored radiance rapidly fused, forming a massive, multicolored light mass. Within the light mass, the five elemental energies intermingled, generating and overcoming each other. Endless vitality and destructive power were born from the ceaselessly circulating five elemental forces, and a new nascent world gradually emerged within the multicolored light mass.

The light mass roared towards Jiang Yun, a world-shattering force suppressing the surrounding time and space. Time and space seemed to stagnate before this power. The surrounding spiritual energy was also madly absorbed by this force, forming a giant vortex of spiritual energy that added power to this unified five-element attack.

At the same time, after Kong Xuan made his move, Jiang Yun did not delay. The acupoints all over his body operated to their extreme. The acupoints within his body and the phantom images of acupoints projected onto various parts of 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 with his acupoints, in the distant Chaos starscape, three hundred and sixty-five Primordial Stars faintly glowed under an inexplicable induction. Then, a trace of their phantom image was cast down, and along with the star spiritual energy, it was drawn to an unknown location.
