Chapter 1187: Chapter 1186: The Controller's Dao Fruit Chapter 1187: Chapter 1186: The Controller's Dao Fruit “Ha ha, calling for help is useless!” Although he did not know why the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord had disappeared with just one step, Immortal Jiuchong did not care too much, taking advantage of The Controller's moment of distraction to attack first.

The Controller was still wondering why the Emperor hadn't come over when a scorching hot fist hit him in the face, followed by an extremely cold one. The alternating hot and cold punches forced The Controller to keep retreating, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Although The Controller was bleeding, his Bone Armor deflected most of the attack, and he hadn't sustained serious injuries.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, The Controller was a civil servant, but he didn't become The Controller just because he was eloquent. He simply did not want to bother with state affairs; otherwise, it would not have been easy for the Mid-heaven Emperor to ascend to the throne.

The Controller's prowess in punching was unmatched, and his Immortal Blood was boiling. He vibrated both arms simultaneously, striking horizontally at Immortal Jiuchong.

Immortal Jiuchong embodied the ultimate power of yin and yang. During the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, one touch could either char someone to ash or freeze them into a crystal. However, wearing the Bone Armor on his hands, The Controller was unintimidated by trading blows with Immortal Jiuchong.

The bone spikes grew from the Bone Armor, and The Controller struck as if holding brass knuckles, causing wounds with each hit on Immortal Jiuchong's body.

Both were supremely confident in their strength, roaring at the same time with an air of supremacy, aiming to vanquish the opponent. A terrifying aura spread broadly, and the sound of cracking bones echoed within them. However, the bones mended themselves immediately after breaking, and they continued to fight without feeling pain or fatigue.

To the unaware, it seemed both were practicing the Eternity Dao Fruit.

Immortal Jiuchong spotted a weak point in The Controller's armor, which was also the thinner part, and decisively struck with the Yin-Yang Fruit.

However, unexpectedly, at the moment of his punch, the armor shifted bones from other parts to block the punch, rendering it ineffective.

“That's quite interesting.”

Boom–

After separating from the combat, both caught their breath, enduring pain while observing any signs of agony in their opponent's expression.

To no avail.

Immortal Jiuchong snapped his fingers, and clusters of Immortal Fire appeared. To any cultivator with a Fire Spirit Root, it would be a great fortune. For him, it was just a matter of thought.

Then, spheres of Profound Ice followed, comparable in quality to ten million-year-old Mysterious Ice.

The cultivators of both Great Qian and Great Yu who had been in slumber till now were losing lifespan, whether it had been a few hundred or over a thousand years due to any secret technique used. However, if frozen in this Profound Ice, they would achieve an almost eternal sleep, maintaining the same lifespan even if awakened a million years later.

A sphere of Profound Ice flew towards The Controller, who deflected it with his hand, but countless clusters of Immortal Fire and Profound Ice followed, overpowering even if The Controller had three heads and six arms.

A cluster of Immortal Fire breached The Controller's defense, but then suddenly changed direction and collided with the Profound Ice, annihilating each other.

Immortal Jiuchong's expression tensed as that cluster of Immortal Fire had escaped his control.

Immortal Methods were not sufficient to contest with Dao Fruit. Was this the ability of The Controller's Dao Fruit?

“Fairy, is The Controller's Dao Fruit related to controlling objects?” Lu Yang asked, now having gained some insight into Dao Fruits to make some deductions.

In all of Muxue City, only Lu Yang could discern such intricacies. Others struggled even to keep up with the pace of the battle, let alone analyze it.

“Not quite,” Fairy Eternity said with a giggle, pointing out what Lu Yang had missed.

“Look! During their close combat, when Immortal Jiuchong seized the opportunity to land a punch on The Controller, the Bone Armor blocked it, right?”

“If it were a controlling type of Dao Fruit, The Controller wouldn't have had time to react, and neither should the armor, but that wasn't the case.”

“If I'm not wrong,” the immortal Fairy continued, “The Controller possesses a Dao Fruit of Enlightenment and Spirit Awakening type, which can bestow life onto objects, command them, and the objects even have the capacity for autonomous combat.”

“So that's it.”

“A controlling type of Dao Fruit?” Immortal Jiuchong reached the same conclusion as Lu Yang.

Hearing Immortal Jiuchong's analysis, The Controller smiled subtly and began blatantly using his Dao Fruit skills. In an instant, all the Immortal Fire and Profound Ice flying towards him were spiritually awakened and turned against Immortal Jiuchong.

“Using my own moves against me?”

Immortal Jiuchong had a thought flash through his mind, conjuring the same number of Immortal Fire and Profound Ice to collide with those controlled by The Controller, causing the earth and mountains to shake within a ten-thousand-mile radius.

“Managed to block it? Not bad,” The Controller said breezily, now holding the upper hand.

Immortal Jiuchong could control Immortal Fire and even manifest the Sun, but whether it was Immortal Fire or the Sun, they were tangible, and anything tangible was within The Controller's control. How could Immortal Jiuchong make a move?

Suddenly, Immortal Jiuchong was struck by an unknown attack. The strike was powerful, sending him flying, crashing through over a dozen mountains before coming to a halt.

Where did that attack come from?!

Immortal Jiuchong quickly realized that Spiritual Energy also fell under The Controller's control–it was an attack from the Spiritual Energy!

With that thought, Immortal Jiuchong took a deep breath, drawing the Spiritual Energy from within a thousand miles and refining it inside his body.

Immortal Jiuchong guessed that The Controller could only control non-living things; if he could control living things, he would have controlled Jiuchong's body long ago, not just the Immortal Fire and Spiritual Energy.

So, by absorbing and refining all the Spiritual Energy, making it a part of his body, The Controller could no longer control it!

The Controller raised an eyebrow, surprised that Immortal Jiuchong, though he didn't figure out the correct Dao Fruit, had made the right choice.

“How will you handle this now!”

With a thought from The Controller's Immortal Sense, he enlightened the mountains surrounding Muxue City, which awoke like a giant sleeping on the ground.

The Snow Mountain Giant rose, towering ten thousand feet tall.

Immediately after, the earth swelled, forming layers of cages trapping Immortal Jiuchong.

The earth had also been enlightened by The Controller, used at his command!

Everything under heaven and earth was within The Controller's scope of control!

The battlefield shifted outside the city, and those daring cultivators in the city left Muxue City en masse to follow and watch the battle.

They watched in awe as one snow mountain after another, under The Controller's summons, stood like people upon the earth.

Yun Zhi, looking down at the quaking, awakening snow mountains beneath her feet, shook her head helplessly, packed up the Emperor's Chair, and jumped down from the mountain to find a spot unaffected by the tumult to watch the battle.

“Earth Snow Mountains? Merely mundane objects daring to trap an immortal!” Immortal Jiuchong bellowed, his body shuddering as he broke free like a dragon escaping its chains, shattering the earthly shackles and knocking over a Snow Mountain Giant with a punch.

The Snow Mountain Giant, headless, fell to the ground, causing it to shake.

“Mundane objects, you say? Then take a look at these!”

As Immortal Jiuchong smashed the head of a Snow Mountain Giant, a metallic, lustrous humanoid figure flew out from within, slamming Jiuchong into the ground!

Boom–

The heavens shattered, the earth exploded, and a large blast erupted underground. The humanoid figure was sent flying by a punch from Immortal Jiuchong, who then burst forth from the soil.

Yet, after taking a heavy punch from Immortal Jiuchong, the humanoid figure remained intact, only bearing a fist imprint.

“Immortal Gold?” Immortal Jiuchong frowned.

This was not a magic artifact crafted from Immortal Gold; The Controller didn't have the assets of a Yingtian Immortal; it was merely raw Immortal Gold. However, this piece of Immortal Gold, enlightened by The Controller, could be referred to as a living Immortal Gold entity, terribly hard.

“Always able to surprise me with something unexpected,” Immortal Jiuchong sneered.

“But you surely don't think my Yin-Yang Dao Fruit can only control Immortal Fire and Profound Ice, do you?”
