Time-Space Wheel Sutra - Instant Wheel Chapter: Space-Cleaving Art
In the instant where lightning and light intertwined, the space in front of Li Mu was instantly torn apart by an invisible force.
The invisible cracks were like ink-colored vines spreading in the night, wildly twisting and extending, forming a strange and deep net of spatial fissures.
At this moment, the Undying Demon Lord, carrying a majestic Devilish Qi, swept towards Li Mu like a fierce storm.
However, facing the unstoppable assault of the Undying Demon Lord, Li Mu appeared exceptionally calm, his eyes revealing a composed confidence and a subtle smile of successful planning.
The next moment, Li Mu pushed his hands forward, and those previously silent spatial fissures seemed to come alive, instantly surging wildly along the Undying Demon Lord's inevitable path, dense and forming an inescapable net.
With a tearing sound, a muffled ripping noise echoed in the air, and one of the Undying Demon Lord's arms, caught off guard, was instantly cut into several segments by the spatial fissures, blood gushing out and scattering into the Void Realm.
The Undying Demon Lord cried out, his figure flashing away in a disheveled manner, and when he reappeared, he was clutching the wound on his severed arm, stemming the gushing blood.
The Undying Demon Lord looked at Li Mu with a mix of shock and fury.
His demonic eyes, which once looked down on everything, were now filled with astonishment and anger.
He had never imagined that this being, whom he regarded as an ant, could unleash such terrifying power.
Li Mu stood still, his gaze calm and profound, as if everything that had just happened was within his expectations.
A hint of regret flashed across Li Mu's face, seemingly dissatisfied that he couldn't take down the Undying Demon Lord in one go.
However, he was not disheartened by this; a Combined Body Realm Cultivator was not so easy to deal with.
Li Mu's mind raced; he had already used all his methods, yet he still couldn't defeat the opponent.
What should he do next?
Li Mu gently waved his hand, and the rampant spatial fissures, like tamed beasts, quickly closed, as if they had never appeared, and the entire space returned to tranquility, leaving only the Undying Demon Lord's furious panting.
During a lull in the battle, Li Mu hastily glanced at his Treasure Mansion Space.
That glance made his eyes twitch uncontrollably, and a wave of heartache surged within him.
Large swathes of six-tier Azure Green Bamboo Forest, those High Grade spiritual plants he had meticulously nurtured and placed great hopes in, were now in disarray within the Treasure Mansion Space, cruelly destroyed.
Fields that once produced High Grade spiritual items were now also contaminated by dense Devilish Qi, losing their former vitality and vigor.
He looked at the Treasure Mansion Space that was once lush and vibrant, now dilapidated as if it had experienced a world-destroying catastrophe.
The heartache that surged from the bottom of his heart was like being stabbed by a sharp blade, making it unbearable.
Li Mu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
He looked up at the Undying Demon Lord, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Each of these High Grade spiritual plants was a masterpiece into which he had poured countless efforts and energy; they witnessed his hard work and sweat, and now, in an instant, they had turned to ashes.
This guy caused all of it!
"Die!"
Li Mu's rage, like a raging fire ignited by a strong wind, burned fiercely, unrestrained.
He roared, his voice echoing like thunder within the Treasure Mansion.
The next moment, the Five Elements Dao Sword in his hand, like a Dragon emerging from the sea, swiftly slashed out, unleashing the third form of the Azure Underworld Sword Sutra—Azure Underworld Dawn!
This sword strike's azure sword light was dazzling, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, carrying endless sharpness and vitality, striking directly at the Undying Demon Lord.
The sharp azure sword light contained all of Li Mu's anger and power, as if it intended to annihilate the Undying Demon Lord in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, the Undying Demon Lord let out a heaven-shaking roar, pushing the Undying Demon Art to its limit.
His Immortal Demon Armor instantly detached, transforming into rolling black Devilish Qi, tightly enveloping his entire body.
In a flash, the dense black Devilish Qi quickly condensed into an indestructible black shield, completely surrounding the Undying Demon Lord.
The moment the azure sword light collided with the black shield, a deafening roar erupted, and the entire Immortal Cave space trembled at that instant, stirring up a violent wind.
However, the defense of the shield formed by the Immortal Demon Armor was beyond imagination.
Although the Five Elements Dao Sword was incomparably sharp, it failed to break through its defense and was instead repelled by its rebound force.
At this moment, the Undying Demon Lord was enveloped by dense Devilish Qi, forming a giant black egg.
The next moment, black spikes rapidly grew from the black giant egg, and in the blink of an eye, it resembled a giant black sea urchin.
Each black spike gleamed with a cold light, making people fearful and difficult to approach.
Li Mu stared intently at the Undying Demon Lord's current state, and although he was unwilling, he knew he couldn't act rashly.
Relying on his Heavenly Talent—Identifying Myriad Spirits, Li Mu quickly discerned the Undying Demon Lord's current state.
At this moment, the Undying Demon Lord was performing a secret Divine Ability called "Undying Chrysalis Transformation," using this secret art to rapidly restore his severed arm and his greatly depleted power.
Li Mu caught the rebounding Five Elements Dao Sword, his expression turning solemn, clearly understanding that he was facing a powerful Cultivator of the Combined Body Realm, whose methods were bizarre and strength terrifying, far exceeding his imagination.
Now, the Undying Demon Lord was rapidly recovering his injuries and power; if he were allowed to complete his chrysalis transformation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this critical moment of life and death, facing this powerful Immortal Demon Armor, Li Mu's mind raced, but he was at a loss for a solution.
Li Mu stared at the black giant egg, anxiously contemplating a countermeasure, when his gaze inadvertently swept towards the distance.
He saw the Purple-Gold Fire Phoenix and the Yin Yang Lightning Dragon frantically devouring and extinguishing the Undying Demon Qi in the space.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu's heart stirred, and he immediately had a plan.
"You two, come here!" Li Mu reached out to the two Heavenly Fire masses, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing the command, the Purple-Gold Fire Phoenix and the Yin Yang Lightning Dragon immediately abandoned devouring the Devilish Qi, transforming into two streaks of light and flying towards Li Mu, as if they had already understood Li Mu's intention, faithfully executing his orders.
Li Mu took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and circulated the Eightfold Heavenly Fire Tempering Method.
The True Essence within his body surged like a river, continuously pouring into his hands.
As his hand-sealing speed grew faster and faster, a terrifying high temperature began to condense around him.
Li Mu's eyes gleamed with determination as he let out a low cry: "Heavenly Fire as Furnace!"
Then, Li Mu suddenly pushed his hands forward, unleashing the Artifact Refining Divine Ability—Heavenly Fire as Furnace.
In an instant, the Yin Yang Lightning Fire and the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire erupted simultaneously.
The two flames intertwined, forming a massive fiery vortex.
The vortex spun rapidly, emitting a deafening roar, and the entire space trembled under its power.
As the flames churned, a gigantic Skyfire Refining Furnace materialized and condensed in mid-air.
The Skyfire Refining Furnace displayed three colors: purple-gold, azure-blue, and crimson, resembling an exquisite work of art yet possessing immense pressure.
It emitted a terrifying high temperature, and with its appearance, the temperature of the entire Treasure Mansion Space suddenly increased several times.
The surrounding space was distorted by the terrifying high temperature of the Heavenly Fire.
Under Li Mu's control, the Skyfire Refining Furnace suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force, aimed at the 'giant demonic egg.'
The 'chrysalis egg' condensed by the Undying Demon Lord had no resistance against this suction force and was instantly swallowed into the furnace.
Staring intently at the 'giant demonic egg' within the furnace, Li Mu's heart was filled with joy.
He refused to believe that a demonic egg that couldn't be broken by a Dao Sword could endure the refining of Heavenly Fire.
Li Mu decided to use Artifact Refining techniques to completely refine it.
Li Mu fully activated the Eightfold Heavenly Fire Tempering Method, unleashing the Artifact Refining Divine Ability - Tempering Heaven and Earth.
The next moment, the Skyfire Refining Furnace operated at full power, and the demonic egg inside the furnace began to crackle and pop, continuously being roasted by the high-temperature flames.
Li Mu concentrated fully on controlling the Skyfire Refining Furnace, pouring massive amounts of spiritual power into it.
As a large amount of True Essence was depleted, his face gradually turned pale.
Li Mu hurriedly took out a Medicinal Pill bottle from the nine storage spiritual pearl, poured out all the heavenly spirit pills, swallowed them whole, and then fully activated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture to digest the medicinal power of the Spirit Pill, continuously pouring True Essence into the Skyfire Refining Furnace.
The Skyfire Refining Furnace was filled with dense spiritual power, and the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire and Yin Yang Lightning Fire also seemed to be energized, spewing out violent firepower.
Inside the Skyfire Refining Furnace, the Undying Demon Lord's black giant egg began to emit sizzling sounds under the terrifying high-temperature roasting, as if a life was struggling within it.
Li Mu stared intently at the situation inside the furnace, knowing that the battle between him and the Undying Demon Lord had just begun.
Inside the Skyfire Refining Furnace, the Yin Yang Lightning Fire and Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire intertwined, forming a terrifying sea of flames.
The black giant egg continuously rolled within it, and the black spikes gradually dimmed under the scorching flames.
The Undying Demon Lord seemed to sense an unprecedented crisis; he frantically urged his Devilish Qi, attempting to resist the fate of being refined and trying to break through the Skyfire Refining Furnace's restraints.
However, the Skyfire Refining Furnace was refined by Li Mu using Heavenly Fire as Furnace, combined with Artifact Refining Divine Ability, and its power was extraordinary.
The Heavenly Fire continuously scorched the black giant egg, causing the Devilish Qi emerging from its surface to rapidly dissipate, preventing it from accumulating power.
Soon, the black demonic egg rolled violently within the Skyfire Refining Furnace, emitting bursts of mournful screams, which were indeed the screams of the Undying Demon Lord.
However, the Heavenly Fire seemed unable to quickly refine the Immortal Demon Armor.
Li Mu slightly closed his eyes, a sense of determination surging within him.
He decisively took out a large quantity of seven-tier wood and fire elemental spiritual materials from the nine storage spiritual pearl, and without hesitation, threw these spiritual materials into the Heavenly Fire Furnace.
With a 'boom', the two Heavenly Fire masses in the Heavenly Fire Furnace instantly surged in power with the aid of the Advanced spiritual materials, like a fiery Dragon churning in the sky, releasing endless heatwaves and pressure.
Li Mu concentrated fully, pouring out all his spiritual power to boost the power of the Heavenly Fire, making it even more scorching and violent.
The flames of the Heavenly Fire Furnace erupted like a volcanic eruption, illuminating the entire space.
In these scorching flames, the black giant egg finally could no longer withstand the pressure, and tiny cracks appeared on its surface.
The Undying Demon Lord felt an unprecedented crisis under the scorching flames; the Origin of the Undying Demon Qi was mercilessly forged and devoured by the Heavenly Fire.
At this critical moment of life and death, the Undying Demon Lord let out a heaven-shaking roar, the sound waves like rolling thunder, shaking the entire space.
He decisively abandoned his chrysalis transformation and broke free from the cracks of the About to burst black giant egg.
However, Li Mu had long foreseen this and made thorough preparations.
He simultaneously used multiple focuses, concentrating fully on controlling the Skyfire Refining Furnace, fully activating his True Essence to raise the furnace's flame temperature to its extreme, with the blazing flames surging like molten lava.
At the same time, he unleashed a powerful Divine Thought Divine Ability—Gathering Star Strike.
In his Sea of Consciousness, Li Mu's Divine Thought, like a golden star, condensed into a dazzling golden beam of Divine Thought.
This golden beam of Divine Thought contained endless power, instantly tearing through the Void Realm and crashing down upon the Undying Demon Lord.
At this moment, Xiaobai, sitting on Li Mu's shoulder, also moved.
Its eyes gleamed with determination, and a vast Soul Power surged like a flood.
It activated the azure soul suppression bell, emitting a melodious chime.
As the bell rang, a giant black tiger transformed from Soul Power emerged.
Its body was massive, its Aura majestic, as if it could devour everything.
The giant tiger roared and pounced towards the Undying Demon Lord, its sharp claws gleaming with cold light, seemingly capable of tearing through all obstacles.
The Undying Demon Lord was suddenly struck by two powerful Divine Thought attacks.
His body paused, completely enveloped by the Heavenly Fire, white smoke rising from him, and he, along with the Immortal Demon Armor, was refined by the Heavenly Fire.
"Ah!"
The Undying Demon Lord let out a tragic wail, his Divine Soul breaking free from his body, attempting to employ his old trick to seek another chance at resurrection.
Li Mu had been guarding against this moment!
The Undying Demon Lord's resurrection had already caused him incredibly heavy losses, a century of effort destroyed in an instant; how could he let him succeed again?
Li Mu had already anticipated this move from the Undying Demon Lord, giving him no opportunity whatsoever.
He turned his head to look at Xiaobai and shouted, "Xiaobai! Don't let him escape!"
Xiaobai, hearing this, immediately acted.
It opened its small mouth and took a fierce inhale towards the Undying Demon Lord's fleeing Divine Soul.
This suction force was extremely powerful, as if it would swallow the entire Void Realm.
The Undying Demon Lord's Divine Soul was mercilessly pulled by this suction, unable to break free.
"No—!" The Undying Demon Lord's Divine Soul let out a desperate scream, feeling an unprecedented fear.
"Gulp!"
Xiaobai swallowed the Undying Demon Lord's Divine Soul in one gulp, and a powerful Soul Power immediately erupted from its body!
"Chirp chirp!"
Xiaobai chirped at Li Mu, then its head and body both went limp.
Li Mu reached out and caught Xiaobai, checked its condition, and confirmed that it was fine, only needing sleep after consuming the Divine Soul of a Body Integration expert.
He then felt relieved and placed it into the spirit control treasure bracelet.
Li Mu's attention was on the Skyfire Refining Furnace, his brows tightly furrowed.
That 'giant demonic armor' had not yet been completely refined.
Its quality was extraordinary; if he could burn off the Undying Demon Qi attached to it, it would be suitable for refining into a High Grade Dao Armor.
This life-and-death battle, conducted within the Painting World Treasure Mansion, caused him immense losses.
If he could refine this Dao Armor, it would at least recover most of his losses.
Li Mu took a deep breath, calmed his mind, cast aside distracting thoughts, and focused on Artifact Refining.
At this moment, outside the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Xue'er, Xiaowa, and Crimson Flame were anxiously awaiting the battle's outcome.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
