How quick is very quick?

The answer is now!

The infinitely slowed world had come to a complete standstill, and behind Jiang Li, vertical pupils dilated wide as a figure gradually materialized.

Majestic in stature, as if grasping the sun and moon of the azure sky; formidable in appearance, as though bearing the weight of countless lofty mountains; his intent was as vast as the heavens, overwhelming Jiang Li's thoughts and nearly freezing them solid.

The Ji Family... Gongsun Qi, he had broken free.

If not for the "Carefree Travel" Divine Skill, Jiang Li's thoughts would likely have been directly sealed by this will.

Only by opposing a supreme being did Jiang Li realize the immense gap between himself and the adversary. Luu Tianpeng was powerful in himself, but compared to his true form, the difference was like that between heaven and earth. Jiang Li had managed to push back Luu Tianpeng only with outside assistance, let alone his true form.

"Among the six strongest beings of this era, the Emperor is sealed within the Cosmic Light, the Awakened do not intervene in worldly affairs, Tathagata does not exit seclusion, and Daoist Lord Li Boyang is standing aloof for the time being. The only one who could obstruct me is the Great Venerable."

A figure resembling a young man but exuding an air of ancient weariness spoke with a voice like thunder, resounding through Jiang Li's Sea of Consciousness and causing his Primordial Spirit to feel as if it were in the vast ocean. "But Great Venerable, you cannot hold me back."

With Gongsun Qi's escape, the Great Venerable no longer needed to draw the ground into a prison, and the current turn of events also aligned with the Great Venerable's schemes.

With Heaven wounded, the Great Venerable could take action against Heaven and further advance his long-held desire to reclaim the Fuxi Dao Fruit. Indeed, the present situation was deeply entangled with the Great Venerable's disruptive influence.

Though the Great Venerable and Gongsun Qi were enemies, their goals were similar, both aiming for Heaven. Before this point, there had been both conflict and an unspoken agreement between them, but now, with only these two supreme beings entering the fray, they had no choice but to be adversaries.

"It seems the Sect Leader is quite confident," Jiang Li acknowledged the vast gap between them and, with his Sword Intent, cut through the fear in his heart, replying calmly.

"Because I have my dear nephew in hand," came the light laughter from behind. "You and the Feng family should have made oaths with Heaven as a witness, vows similar to those made with the Ji Family and the Jiang family, right? With my dear nephew in hand, why should I fear the Great Venerable's obstruction? It won't take long; even if I can delay the Great Venerable for just a moment, it's enough to seize the advantage."

"It truly is unexpected that you would forge a mutual oath with the Feng family. Had I not been watching you closely all along, I may not have discovered it."

The will as firm as fate itself grew stronger, enveloping Jiang Li as if it were the world itself, leaving him no escape.

"I abandon Heaven, yet Heaven aids me," Gongsun Qi chuckled.

At this juncture, it was an ironic joke that Heaven was helping him block the Great Venerable—Gongsun Qi, who sought to seize the Heavenly Dao, was still inadvertently endorsed by Heaven's oath, akin to assisting him against the Great Venerable. If this wasn't Heaven's support, what was?

Blocking the Great Venerable, Gongsun Qi faced no more adversaries ahead.

"Clap, clap, clap—"

The sound of applause rang suddenly as Jiang Li began to clap his hands, praising, "Sect Leader, your strategies are truly admirable, and I am impressed. However..."

He abruptly changed the subject, "There are two things you've got wrong. One, Heaven is not completely devoid of sentiment and self."

"Two, other than the Great Venerable, we can also stop you."

Jiang Li slowly turned around, facing those vertical pupils, "Me, my master, and... Heaven!"

Crack!

Like shattered crystal, the frozen world crumbled into chaos, with the smell of blood, combat, and howls mingling, the blood-red sky, and earth all returning to their natural order, as Jiang Li's perception once again normalized.

An immensely grand force bestowed itself upon him, resonating with vibrations that echoed from the horizon, allowing him to communicate with the intangible presence yonder.

This resonance arose between Heaven and all who had cultivated the Heavenly Dharma, not merely a private communion between Gongsun Qi and Heaven.

Heaven was not completely devoid of sentiment and self, as Gongsun Qi's actions prompted Heaven to project a will, residing in Ji Jiji's physical body from over two hundred years ago, showing nascent signs of life.

Before this battle, within the Dinghu Sect, Jiang Li had already met with the Heavenly Incarnation, at which time they had communicated.

Was it the Heavenly Incarnation who sought them out, or Tianxuan who had actively sought the Heavenly Incarnation?

This, Jiang Li was not sure of. What he knew was that from that moment on, his side already had backup support.

Both the Great Venerable and Gongsun Qi assumed that their ultimate enemy was each other, yet they didn't foresee that Tianxuan had communicated with the Heavenly Incarnation beforehand, laying down this contingency earlier. While they may not have a supreme being, they had the support of Heaven.

Within the vast unknown, a gaze as if tangible rested upon Jiang Li, and lines of fate formed around him like beams of light, wreathing and extending outward.

Seeing this, the figure within the vertical pupil was slightly moved, realizing that Jiang Li's words were no falsehood—that indeed, he had communicated with Heaven.

'Well played.'

The vertical pupil slightly closed, the figure inside faded away, and the strands of causality that extended towards the vertical pupil could no longer continue to extend.

'He severed causality… No wonder no one has found him for so many years.' Jiang Li observed and felt a chill in his heart.

Unable to trace through the threads of causality, it didn't only make it difficult for Heaven to descend its punishment, but also made it impossible for others to track him using Echange Skill. Gongsun Qi discussed Yi Dao, but he was not on par with the Great Venerable, and even the Great Venerable couldn't calculate his whereabouts.

Had it not been for the traces he had gradually revealed due to his plan, it would have been really difficult for others to lock onto his identity.

Once causality was severed, the trail became hard to follow, but the opponent's target was right here. Even if he could evade tracing through causality, there was no way he could leave, no way he would give up on the success that was within reach.

The blood-red sky pulsated as if an invisible colossal being was moving across the sky, approaching the massive hole that resembled a blood-red sun. Gongsun Qi saw that it was difficult to take advantage of Jiang Li, decided to give up, and his main body that had already arrived hurried towards the blood hole.

But at the same time, light flowed like water to form a long river, as if extending from the void and rising up, with gentle mist ascending from it.

The red dragon's body, like a winding mountain range, traveled along the river.

The Great Venerable had arrived as well.

With the Great Venerable's persistent Cosmic Light Divine Ability, there really wasn't anyone in this world he couldn't chase down.

Having failed to capture Jiang Li, Gongsun Qi could only give up, otherwise, it would just let the Great Venerable take the lead. He clashed head-on with the Great Venerable, the sky twisted, collided with the long river, and ripples spread through the space, causing the falling wind and rain to become chaotic.

Two grand auras, indescribable in words, shook the heaven and earth, blanketing the land and causing severe distortions in the collision zone, as if the sky had turned into a vortex. The Dharma Platform that ascended to the high skies was pressed down, and even those fourth-rank beings above found it hard to withstand this suppressing force.

"The power of the Supreme beings is truly terrifying. If Heaven's Incarnation were to join in…"

As he spoke, Jiang Li sensed the existence of Heaven's Incarnation.

At this point, it was time for that being to reveal itself.

However, before Jiang Li could observe his surroundings, he suddenly felt an incredible force bearing down on him, boundless and formless, immeasurable and infinite, as though heaven and earth were actively accepting him, and the vast universe opened its arms to Jiang Li.

"I… have I become an incarnation?"

[Heaven's Will bestowed upon oneself, Unity of Heaven and Man. At this very moment, Jiang Li had truly become the incarnation of heaven, his will rising, and his Primordial Spirit as if it had transcended invisible bonds, directly facing the boundless heaven and earth.]

The Karma Collection refreshed with new records, clearly informing Jiang Li that he had indeed become an incarnation.

The vastness of heaven and earth, the ambiguity of Heaven's Will and even the pervasive Five Viscous of the world, Jiang Li was directly experiencing all of this as he abruptly lifted his head, looking into the sky.

[Heaven and earth generate with me, while all things unite with me. Leveraging this unique experience, Jiang Li truly achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, even distinctly feeling the Dao Fruit within himself gradually merging into his own causality.]

[At this moment, Jiang Li truly felt omnipotent.]

In the midst of this grand and vast sensation, even with Jiang Li's Mental State, it was somewhat hard to maintain, as he could clearly feel his thoughts becoming closer to Heaven, and his consciousness started to diminish.

At a critical moment, the Karma Collection began to turn back the pages, countless characters flitted by, and strands of causality wove around him, firmly locking Jiang Li in place.

At the same time, the stars in the center of Jiang Li's forehead glowed intensely, with the Ziwei and Tianfu stars manifesting, stabilizing his Primordial Spirit.

Then, he took a step and walked into the void, instantly crossing a long distance and directly entering the anomaly in the twisted sky.

The blood-red sky suddenly erupted like tidal waves, sweeping across the heavens, the mingling of three grand auras, three massive forces colliding together, splitting the anomaly in two, shaking the entire world violently.

The Dharma Platform plummeted, the earth quaked and mountains shook, a storm swept across, and the blood-red heaven and earth, the rivers and mountains, were all in chaos, just like the coming of doomsday.

Yin Tulong and The Immortal of Colossal Spirit both retreated, looking towards the sky in astonishment and confusion.

Feng Manlou also revealed a look of surprise, standing on the shoulder of Yin Tulong, staring blankly at the sky.

And at the center of that shaking, Candle Dragon soared, almost non-existent, as if shuttling outside of heaven and earth, unaffected by the surging waves passing over its body; the sky pulsated, gathered into form, morphing into a colossal figure draped in an Emperor's Robe, with an obscured face.

"Is it you?"

The eyes of the Candle Dragon, shaped like the sun and the moon, targeted that third source of power, gazing straight down below the blood hole, where a figure that seemed incredibly small compared to the body of the Candle Dragon stood upright, but its presence and momentum seemed to envelop all of heaven and earth.

Boundlessness and insignificance, contradictory meanings resided within one person, such that even the Great Venerable was rarely shaken.

"Upon you… Heaven."

The Candle Dragon raised its body, feeling the situation spiraling out of control.

On the other side, the colossal figure slowly transformed as three other blurred faces emerged to its left, right, and behind, with yellow clouds swirling around it, divine and holy.

"Heaven cannot stop me either."
