Chapter 1188: Chapter 1178: The True Abilities of the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit

"Blustering!"

The Controller remained steadfast, unshaken by the verbal provocation of his opponent. Countless Snow Mountain Giants rose from the ground, kneeling before him in submission, and then the earth gave birth to numerous agile stone pillars, as flexible as the tentacles of an octopus.

Immortal Jiuchong’s fist knocked down a Snow Mountain Giant, but immediately afterward, a being made of Immortal Gold, hiding inside the giant’s head, launched a sneak attack on Immortal Jiuchong.

The Snow Mountain Giants were merely a distraction, the real trick lay in the beings made of Immortal Gold hidden inside!

These pieces of Immortal Gold were unrefined and lacked the might of Immortal Artifacts, but Immortal Gold itself is renowned for its strength. The Yingtian Immortal even used Immortal Gold to forge his body, demonstrating how terrifyingly hard Immortal Gold could be.

Immortal Jiuchong’s fist left an imprint on the face of the Immortal Gold being, yet it caused no substantial damage!

Immortal Jiuchong intended to leap into the air, but from the ground, a segment of a tree branch, acting like a tentacle, sprung up and entwined around his ankle. This was a heavenly tree from countless Suiyues ago, frozen within the permafrost, now brought to life by the command of The Controller.

Beneath the lands of the Extreme Northern Lands lay buried countless corpses, all within the range of The Controller’s animating powers.

Though Immortal Jiuchong immediately broke free from the grasp of the tree branch tentacle, it provided an opportunity for the beings of Immortal Gold.

Three to five Immortal Gold beings swarmed forward, pinning down Immortal Jiuchong’s limbs, with one sitting atop Jiuchong and punching his face repeatedly, each blow strong enough to smash a Pass Tribulation Cultivator to death.

Immortal Jiuchong instantly transformed into a being of flame, corporeal yet intangible, passing through the beings of Immortal Gold.

"Refine!"

Immortal Jiuchong bellowed, and his Immortal Fire enveloped the Immortal Gold beings. His Immortal Fire was most suited for refining Immortal Gold; in the Ancient Times, even the Yingtian Immortal borrowed his fire to forge Immortal Artifacts.

In an instant, the Immortal Gold beings were melted into a liquid mass.

Whoosh—

A blob of liquid flew out from the flames toward Immortal Jiuchong.

Even when transformed into liquid, the Immortal Gold beings remained under The Controller’s animation, still obeying his commands to attack Immortal Jiuchong by all means necessary.

Immortal Jiuchong rapidly retreated, knowing that if the liquid Immortal Gold beings surrounded and then solidified around him, he would be trapped in an impenetrable cage of Immortal Gold, which would be quite troublesome.

Simultaneously, he extinguished his own Immortal Fire used for refining the Immortal Gold beings before The Controller could commandeer it.

The Controller clicked his tongue. Indeed, as an Ancient True Immortal, Jiuchong’s reaction was impressively swift.

The Immortal Gold beings, now liquid, took on various shapes, extending indefinitely and forming an exceedingly thin layer that adhered to the bodiless Snow Mountain Giants.

The Immortal Gold solidified into a layer of armor for the Snow Mountain Giants, granting them the strength to battle Immortal Jiuchong.

One by one, the Snow Mountain Giants pounded their chests, resembling headless great apes.

The Controller then procured Mystic Ice, which Immortal Jiuchong had manifested during their earlier confrontation but had not yet been fully consumed.

The Mystic Ice, too, was alive, and at The Controller’s bidding, it morphed into ice spears, becoming weapons for the Snow Mountain Giants.

Now armed with armor and weapons, the Snow Mountain Giants surged forward, attacking Immortal Jiuchong, their Mystic Ice Spears posing a real threat to Jiuchong in his fiery form.

A Mystic Ice Spear pierced Immortal Jiuchong’s body, momentarily giving him a corporeal form, and seizing the opportunity, countless Snow Mountain Giants pinned him down and hammered him into the ground, where a vortex appeared, swallowing Immortal Jiuchong whole.

Then, the earth heaved and cracked, fissures emanating light, followed by a surge of fire that blasted apart the numerous Snow Mountain Giants, akin to a volcanic eruption—a doomsday scene never to be witnessed in the Extreme Northern Lands.

Faced with the wrath of Immortal Jiuchong, The Controller remained undeterred, continuing to order the Snow Mountain Giants to assault.

Immortal Jiuchong hovered in the air, consumed by towering anger.

Suddenly, an illusory chessboard appeared on the ground, immensely vast, with each Snow Mountain Giant positioned within a square.

What is this about!

The Controller became alert, for there was no mention in the ancient texts of Immortal Jiuchong possessing such a technique!

"All things in this world can be divided into black and white."

"The Snow Mountain belongs to the Yin Attribute."

Immortal Jiuchong’s voice boomed, as if speaking to himself. Aside from Fairy Eternity and Eldest Senior Sister, no one understood what he meant.

As Immortal Jiuchong’s words echoed, a very inconspicuous black chess piece appeared above the heads of the Snow Mountain Giants.

Immortal Jiuchong’s index finger and middle finger were stacked together, pinching a white chess piece.

The white piece fell, overlapping with the black piece above the head of the Snow Mountain Giant, where black and white collided, mutually dissolving each other.

The bi-colored chess pieces disappeared, and astonishingly, the Snow Mountain Giant also vanished into thin air.

"In this world where there is Yin, there must be Yang. Yin and Yang generate each other, and they also conquer each other."

The Controller stumbled backward, finally understanding what Immortal Jiuchong had done.

Yin and Yang generate and overcome each other. The Snow Mountain Giant was a creature of Yin attributes. When it came into contact with an equal amount of Yang attributes, Yin and Yang collided, and both would be annihilated!

"No, the Snow Mountain Giant is a creature of the Five Elements. How could it be divided by Yin and Yang?" The Controller still had some confusion.

Immortal Jiuchong burst into laughter, taking steps closer to The Controller.

"The Dao Fruit represents the rules. Before the emergence of the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, it wasn’t clear whether the things in this world were categorized according to the Five Elements or Yin and Yang."

"But now that my Yin-Yang Dao Fruit has appeared, everything in this world is classified by Yin and Yang. The division by the Five Elements is merely a more detailed classification based on the division of Yin and Yang!"

In other words, these are the rules set by the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit!

Immortal Jiuchong realized that The Controller did not control the Dao Fruit of authority; he couldn’t possibly manipulate so many Snow Mountain Giants for precise attacks. Instead, he possessed Dao Fruits related to imparting life or awakening spirits.

But in his presence, it didn’t matter.

The Controller’s face turned pale. Originally, he could animate all things, even Immortal Fire and Profound Ice. He thought he could restrain Immortal Jiuchong,

However, the reality was starkly different. Immortal Jiuchong prescribed the rules for Yin and Yang, allowing annihilation of Yin and Yang, which was actually what suppressed The Controller!

"I want to see how much you can annihilate!"

The Controller activated the Dao Fruit of awakening spirits. The earth shook, people of Muxue City stumbled left and right, thinking it was an earthquake.

Those high-level cultivators turned pale; this was definitely not as simple as an earthquake!

The entire Extreme Northern Lands were in turmoil, with the first change appearing around The Controller.

Beneath his feet, the ground rose, not becoming giants or such, but transformed into an earthen sphere covered with snow and ice.

Muxue City was also on this earthen sphere!

The sphere was incredibly large; standing upon it, one could not even feel its curvature!

The people of Muxue City did not understand the meaning of this earthen sphere, and even the high-level cultivators had a vague concept of it. Lu Yang, however, couldn’t be clearer.

Nowadays, all six continents were forged from star planets. The Controller made the earth come alive, reverting it to its original, primitive planetary form!

The Controller could use these star planets to strike at Immortal Jiuchong at any time.

"So what if they are star planets!" scoffed Immortal Jiuchong. In the Ancient Times, battles would easily shatter stars; what threat could these few planets pose?

He could even use Yin and Yang to counter each other and make these planets disappear.

"No, there are people on the planets!" Immortal Jiuchong’s true personality cried out. The Controller was threatening to use the lives of the Extreme Northern Lands.

"So what!" the other personality of Immortal Jiuchong was unmoved, which was exactly what his true personality feared.

"Let me control the body!" The true personality of Immortal Jiuchong wrestled for control of the body.

The Controller sneered, eager to see what else Immortal Jiuchong could do.

Immortal Jiuchong took a couple of deep breaths; it had been a long time since he had used this move.

"Extreme Yin Cold!"

Immortal Jiuchong opened his Yin Domain. The already cold temperatures of the Extreme Northern Lands fell further and further, dropping to a point that had never been seen before in history.

Absolute Zero!

It was as if the world froze in that moment. All living beings in the Extreme Northern Lands were immobilized, the land itself no longer transforming into a planet, the entire realm of the Extreme Northern Lands was enveloped by absolute zero. Under absolute zero, no object could move, resulting in an effect akin to a halt in time!

"See what I mean, what did I tell you? Controlling Immortal Fire and such, these are merely superficial abilities of the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit. These are the true powers."
