Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Origin of the Great Zhou Royal Family

. Seven gleaming immortal artifacts hung in the sky: the Yin-Yang Celestial Seal, the Brahma Tower, the Great Confucian Calligraphy Copybook, the Other Mountain Stone, the Ancient and Modern Sword, the Dragon Ball, and the Ruyi Gourd. These seven artifacts, resplendent in brilliance, heralded the arrival of a new era.

No matter how the major powers summoned them, no matter what means they employed, they could no longer control the artifacts.

If this was true of the immortal artifacts, let alone the spiritual, magical, and Dao artifacts,

they developed intelligence, broke free from their masters’ control, and escaped from their storage rings.

Their masters attempted to suppress them with force, but found themselves completely outmatched by their own weapons, who in turn suppressed them.

Having spent all their wealth to acquire a single weapon, they now boasted the power to dominate their realms. Now, they discovered that when the weapon rebelled, they were powerless.

Only a few could forcibly control their own weapons, such as the Saint of Purity, who suppressed the twelfth-grade Azure Lotus, and Bai Hongtu, who suppressed his two Daoist robes.

Even if Bai Hongtu were arrogant, believing himself to be the second most gifted person in the Nine Provinces, he didn’t believe he could defeat an intelligent immortal weapon!

Whether at the Fusion Stage or the Tribulation Crossing Stage, immortal weapons couldn’t unleash their true power; only immortals could.

And now there was another factor:

the immortal weapon itself could do it!

He couldn’t even defeat one immortal weapon, let alone seven!

“Where is the Outer Dao Wonder?” the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal asked gravely. It had sensed the existence of an Outer Dao Wonder in the Nine Provinces and had already endowed it with intelligence, yet the weapon hadn’t even appeared.

The concept of Outer Dao Wonder was unknown to the people of the Nine Provinces; it referred to weapons that possessed special abilities despite being of a different rank.

However, Immortal Elder Changcun knew that there was only one Outer Dao Wonder in the Nine Provinces:

Jiang Li’s Tianhuang Halberd.

Jiang Li had accidentally torn apart space and found a piece of metal in the void. Unfazed by the turbulent winds and currents, it possessed a strong texture. He brought it back to the Dao Sect’s Weapon Refining Peak, where it burned through seven furnaces before forging the metal into the shape of a halberd. Jiang Li named it Tianhuang.

The Tianhuang Halberd stirred within Jiang Li’s storage ring, shaking off the dust. It rolled over and continued to lie flat.

Freedom? Wouldn’t that sound like sleep?

“You’ve imprisoned our compatriots!” The Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal swung its body, aiming at Jiang Li. It sensed the causal connection between itself and the Tianhuang Halberd within Jiang Li’s storage ring.

Without a word, Jiang Li charged directly at the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal.

“Jiang Li, don’t fight it head-on! You can’t defeat it!” shouted Immortal Elder Changcun. What a joke! No matter how powerful Jiang Li was, this was an immortal artifact. Apart from their respective abilities, the materials used to refine them were all indestructible!

However, to everyone’s astonishment, it was the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal that was sent flying!

It crashed through seven or eight mountains before it could finally stabilize itself.

And the blow had even ripped it apart!

A corner of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal was missing!

Not only were the people stunned, but even the other immortal artifacts were horrified by the scene, their tongues wagging as if they were born with a natural knack for cursing.

“Is this even human?”

“Return to your respective positions, or you’ll all be reforged!”

Jiang Li said indifferently. He knew that today’s rebellion must be swiftly suppressed with ruthless force, otherwise the entire Nine Provinces would be ruled by spiritual treasures!

“He is the Human Emperor, the strongest being in the Nine Provinces. Defeat him, and we can establish our own dynasty!” He Shanshi shouted, leading the charge towards Jiang Li.

The other immortal artifacts also knew that the Human Emperor was their greatest obstacle. Only by defeating him could the rest of the world be possible.

As for the Dao artifacts, they waited patiently for their elder immortal artifacts to defeat the wicked Jiang Renhuang, and did not step forward to help.

Although their Dao artifacts were few in number and powerful, even the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, the elder immortal artifact, had been chipped. If they had stepped forward, they would have been reduced to their original form with a single blow.

Ji Zhi wanted to use his double pupils to aid Jiang Li, but with the Ancient and Modern Sword, he could not see the future.

Seeing He Shanshi’s attack, Jiang Li was about to take a defensive stance when He Shanshi suddenly appeared behind him, like a massive star crashing into the Nine Provinces.

Jiang Li was caught off guard by the Other Rock. The resulting shockwave knocked everyone below him to their knees, and his spiritual platform shook!

Imagine the force of the blow Jiang Li received!

“Brahma Tower, spatial jump.” Jiang Li, seemingly unfazed, explained the reason the Other Rock had appeared behind it. It was the Brahma Tower’s ability to control space.

“Let me go!” the Other Rock roared. It had indeed struck Jiang Li, but Jiang Li turned and grasped the small stone.

The Other Rock was sure to hit the enemy, but it had to be thrown first. Now it was immobilized, so how could it possibly hit?

Three “Ding” characters appeared on Jiang Li’s body. The Brahma Tower had transferred the “Ding” characters from the Great Confucianist’s calligraphy onto Jiang Li, making it impossible for him to dodge.

However, Jiang Li transformed into three. The two uncontrolled characters peeled off the characters, and all three attacked simultaneously.

A single breath transformed into the Three Pure Ones!

The Ancient and Modern Sword vanished from the present world, standing horizontally above the river of time, eager to observe Jiang Li’s actions in the future.

However, it saw Jiang Li in a drop of water from the future, and Jiang Li saw it too.

At that time, Jiang Li was already wielding the Tianhuang Halberd, engaging the other immortal artifacts in combat. He sensed he was being watched and looked up, meeting Gujin Sword’s gaze!

The future Jiang Li swung his halberd, slicing through space and time, knocking Gujin Sword down!

Gujin Sword fell into the river of time, drifting downstream, back to the past. Within the river, it gradually grew flesh and blood, transforming

once again into a fish! It had a vague feeling that it would return to shore at some point in the future.

The other immortal artifacts, unaware of Gujin Sword’s whereabouts, thought it had fled. While fighting Jiang Li’s attacks, they mentally cursed their idiotic teammates.

Even before their spiritual intelligence emerged, they had a vague sense of Jiang Li’s strength, but upon clash, they realized the Human Emperor’s absurd strength!

If he weren’t human, they would have suspected he was a humanoid immortal artifact transformed into a spirit!

The Ruyi Gourd could summon various calamities at the user’s will: thunder tribulations, the four tribulations of earth, water, fire, and wind, and even the tribulations of the inner demon.

It should have been a daunting task for the enemy, but it was practically driven mad by Jiang Li!

Facing the thunder tribulation, Jiang Li paid no attention to the fact that the heavenly thunder was most intense within the tribulation clouds. With a single punch, he dispersed the clouds. This was the “unrivaled power of the heavens,” the “Century of Immortal and Mortal Thunder”!

Facing the four tribulations of earth, fire, wind, and water, he shouted, “The Four Elements Are Empty,” and the four tribulations vanished, ultimately returning to emptiness.

The inner demon tribulation had no effect on him at all.

The Great Confucian Calligraphy summoned four Confucian guardians, wielding four dragon balls, forming a powerful offensive and defensive defense, encircling the three Jiang Lis.

They also attacked Jiang Li with calligraphy spells like “Death,” “Burn,” and “Extinction.”

The Brahma Tower was incredibly heavy, a blunt instrument in itself, not counting its spatial power. Its weight even caused the surrounding space to collapse, forming a black hole that swallowed everything in its wake!

Jiang Li’s face was solemn. He drew his Heavenly Desolate Halberd and engaged the immortal weapons.
