Repairing the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation was of utmost urgency; it was not only crucial for protecting thousands of acres of spiritual fields but also a vital reliance for sealing the two-realm passage.
Li Mu's Divine Thought spread out completely, disregarding the invasion of Yin Sha Power, shuttling through the dark underground space, searching everywhere for damaged nodes of the Seal Grand Formation. Waves of powerful Yin Sha Qi, like a tangible substance, invaded his Divine Thought. The leaking Yin Sha Power not only corroded the surrounding rock layers but also subtly distorted space, making the repair work exceptionally difficult.
Above the core area of the Extreme Yin Grand Formation, a Yin Sha Spiritual River surged violently. At this moment, due to the damage to the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation, it became even more turbulent, as if breaking free from a thousand years of restraint, attempting to completely breach the Seal and drag the entire world into endless darkness. The river water was filled with soaring malevolent spirits, and from time to time, shrill wails emanated from within, the resentful cries of countless Yin Sha Souls.
Looking at the terrifying Yin Sha Spiritual River before him, Li Mu felt a chill in his heart. His gaze turned towards the depths of the Yin Sha Spiritual River, to the most core part of the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation, where a nine-rank divine object served as the formation's eye.
At the eye of each of the seven Extreme Realm Seal Grand Formations, there was a nine-rank divine object serving as the formation's eye, such as the Heaven One Divine Water in the Extreme Water Seal under the Nether Water Sea Domain, and the Cangyuan Azure Wood, a nine-rank divine wood, in the Cang Yuan Secret Realm.
This Extreme Yin Sealed Land also utilized a nine-rank Yin-attributed divine object—the Taiyin Divine Water.
Under the Heavenly Talent - Identifying Myriad Spirits, the attributes of the Taiyin Divine Water, surrounded by the Yin Sha Spiritual River, clearly appeared before his eyes.
【Taiyin Divine Water】
【Rank: nine-rank divine object】
【Characteristics: Origin of Yin Essence, Extreme Yin and Extreme Cold, Taiyin Dao Principle, Source of Yin Sha, Abyss of Yin Spring, Divine Water Transmutes Soul】
【Status: Spirit of Divine Water, Eternal Nirvana, Grand Formation Unstable, Showing Signs of Awakening.】
【Taiyin Divine Water, a nine-rank Yin-attributed divine object, a convergence of Taiyin Dao Principles, containing the essence of the Nether Dao and Extreme Yin. This water originates from the Great Abyss, representing the Yin of all realms. It can cleanse Heart Demons, strengthen the Soul, and bestow Cultivators with profound insight and endless Nether Power. Taiyin Divine Water can not only nourish the Cultivator's Physical Body, protecting it from Yin Sha intrusion, but also significantly enhance the Yin-attributed Aptitude in Spiritual Roots. The power of Yin-attributed Spells is doubled. With the aid of this object, one can condense the Taiyin Dao Principle that penetrates reality and freezes everything.】
If the Yin Spirit of this Taiyin Divine Water were to awaken, it would inevitably break through the formation. It must not be allowed to awaken. Only by quickly repairing the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation can this impending disaster be quelled.
Li Mu took a deep breath, fully operating the Chaos Dao Scripture. The profound and powerful Chaos Power within him was completely awakened, like a sleeping Dragon soaring into the sky, stirring up the surrounding winds and clouds.
When the incomparably profound Chaos Power within Li Mu reached its Peak, as if even the rules of heaven and earth could no longer restrain the surging of this power, his figure began to undergo astonishing transformation. His Physical Body, originally hidden, at this moment seemed to be tempered by an invisible fire and sculpted by eternal cold ice, revealing a unique form that transcended the mundane and merged with all things in the Universe—the Chaos Dao Body.
At this moment, Li Mu was dressed in a green Daoist robe, his long hair bound by a crown. His eyes contained stars and the moon, in the swirling state of starlight. His skin was a light brown, and his entire body exuded a powerful and terrifying Aura. His body was enveloped by a faint layer of Chaos Qi, flowing with countless light and shadows. These light and shadows sometimes condensed into stars, sometimes transformed into clouds and mist, or revealed the outlines of mountains, rivers, and lakes, as if the entire Universe was contained within his body.
His eyes became incomparably deep, as if they could perceive the essence of all things in the world, and seemed to penetrate layers of mist, directly looking into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
Under the effect of Chaos Power, his body was elevated by several points, becoming robust and strong, with smooth and powerful muscle lines, yet without losing a sense of transcendence and etherealness. The flow of Chaos Power was vaguely visible beneath his skin, like rivers surging in his Bloodline, bestowing upon him unparalleled vitality and combat power.
When Li Mu fully displayed his Chaos Dao Body, an indescribable majesty and Aura emanated from within him. This Aura not only caused the surrounding air to solidify but also made the restless Yin Sha Qi in the distance feel immense pressure, retreating far away and daring not to approach.
At this moment, Li Mu was like a God emerging from Chaos. His very existence was a deterrence and protection to all things in the world.
Li Mu stood before the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation, drawing upon the Chaos Power of heaven and earth and transforming it into any required Yin-attributed Power.
Chaos Power, capable of transforming all things, Li Mu decided to transform Chaos Power into Taiyin Power, using it to soothe the restless Taiyin Divine Water, and then use the dissipated power of the Taiyin Divine Water to repair the gaps in the Seal Grand Formation.
Li Mu formed hand Seals, and the space around him began to twist. Waves of Chaos Qi emerged from nothingness, circling his body, forming a vast and boundless Chaos Domain. Within this Domain, time seemed to slow down, and space lost its original stability. Everything fluctuated with Li Mu's will. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and with a thought, the Chaos Qi seemed to be endowed with life, beginning to change orderly, gradually transforming into profound, pure Taiyin Power.
As the Taiyin Power condensed, the entire space was enveloped in a faint, ethereal purple glow, echoing the Taiyin Divine Water, forming a marvelous resonance. This power possessed both the primordial wildness of Chaos and the cool profundity of Taiyin. The two perfectly fused under Li Mu's control, displaying unprecedented might.
Li Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, and with a thought, the Chaos Qi seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, rapidly transforming into profound, dark Taiyin Power, emitting a faint purple spiritual radiance that resonated with the Taiyin Divine Water.
"Chaos transforms into Yin, Taiyin returns to its place!"
Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The star and moon vortexes in his pupils seemed to come alive at this moment, releasing dazzling light. He let out a low cry, guiding the massive Taiyin Power, and pushed it forward abruptly, instantly penetrating layers of Yin Sha Qi and the Yin Sha Spiritual River, directly reaching the location of the Taiyin Divine Water.
The Taiyin Divine Water sensed the approach of this homologous power. Under its soothing influence, the originally restless Yin Spirit gradually calmed down, and its awakened state seemed to loosen slightly, gradually falling into a state of Nirvana and slumber. The terrifying Aura that was about to awaken also dissipated with it.
Seeing this scene and confirming the state of the Taiyin Divine Water, Li Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Next, he seized the opportunity to guide the Taiyin Power within the formation's eye, slowly permeating into every damaged node of the Grand Formation, repairing the cracks in the Seal Grand Formation.
As the repair work progressed, the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation began to regain its vitality, and the Yin Sha Spiritual River above gradually calmed down. The shrill wails gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of tranquility and peace.
Li Mu secretly rejoiced in his heart. With the Taiyin Divine Water returning to slumber, success was not far off.
Finally, as the last trace of a crack was repaired, the Taiyin Divine Water once again fell into slumber, and the ethereal purple light flowing on its surface became softer and more profound. The Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation was completely stabilized.
Just then, Li Mu's mind stirred, sensing something. He immediately restrained his Cultivation Aura, and his Chaos Dao Body quickly concealed itself, returning to its original unremarkable state.
The next moment, two streaks of Sword Qi instantly flew over, and then, as Li Mu's Divine Soul gradually revealed their figures, they were none other than Chen Qingxuan—Chen Daojun, and Feng Yi—Dao Lord Feng.
"Greetings, Dao Lord Feng, Chen Daojun!" Li Mu quickly turned to greet them.
Seeing that Li Mu was repairing the Seal Grand Formation and had already achieved significant results, both Dao Lords showed expressions of relief and appreciation.
"Elder Li, it's thanks to you that the Taiyin Divine Water was stabilized and the Grand Formation repaired so quickly. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Chen Qingxuan stepped forward, praising him with a relieved expression.
Feng Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling gently, "Elder Li, it is truly fortunate for our sect that you were able to turn the tide this time."
Li Mu humbly returned the bow, "Thank you for your praise, two Dao Lords. Wind Sword Master is currently facing a formidable enemy. Why don't you go there to provide support first?"
"Hmm! Now that we've confirmed everything is fine here, we'll go support him immediately. This time, we must make those demonic brats pay a heavy price!" Chen Qingxuan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and Sword Qi surged around him, as if it could transform into a world-destroying storm at any moment. His words revealed an undeniable determination and murderous intent, clearly indicating a deep hatred for the so-called "formidable enemy."
Feng Yi's expression also became serious. He looked at Li Mu and instructed, "Elder Li, you are right. We will go support Senior Brother Feng now. However, you must also pay attention to your safety. If there is any abnormality, immediately send us a message."
With that, the two figures spread out, like two bolts of lightning streaking across the sky, instantly disappearing from their original spot, leaving only lingering sharp Sword Qi in the air, showcasing their extraordinary strength.
Watching the two Dao Lords depart, a complex look flashed in Li Mu's eyes. The so-called "formidable enemy" this time came from the Demon Abyss, and the situation was not simple. He also wondered how they managed to pass through the blockade and descend upon this realm, even with the two-realm Seal Grand Formation intact. This severely threatened the safety of the entire Spirit Realm.
Li Mu decided that after repairing the Grand Formation, he would go to the battlefield. He was determined to ensure that Chen Daojun and the others left some alive so that he could interrogate them about how the Nether Ghost Clan infiltrated this realm. If two Peak Realm Cultivators could cross realms, then what about Divine Rank existences?
Not long after, Li Mu meticulously inspected the Extreme Yin Seal Grand Formation, confirming that the repairs were complete. He then activated the Time-Space Wheel Sutra, and with a flash of his figure, instantly vanished from his original spot.
Li Mu appeared near the scene, where the battle had already entered a fierce stage. The sky was illuminated by the light of various Spells, and deafening roars rose and fell. The powerful aftermath of the battle caused the earth to crack and mountains to collapse, making the scene incredibly terrifying.
A battle between Mahayana Realm Dao Lords could move mountains and overturn seas, split the earth and open the sky with a mere wave of a hand.
At this moment, the battle situation was already clear. With the intervention of Chen Daojun and Dao Lord Feng, they instantly dealt with the seven Body Integration Cultivators of the Nether Ghost Clan.
On the field, only the battle between Feng Wuhen and the Ghost Clan Domain Master, Luo Yan, remained. The two Dao Lords were currently standing by, observing the duel between the two, the situation was clear at a glance.
The two watched the battle from the side, commenting and feeling quite relaxed.
The battle between Feng Wuhen and the Ghost Clan Domain Master, Luo Yan, was exceptionally fierce. Their figures moved like two flashes of lightning, constantly intertwining on the battlefield. Each clash was accompanied by earth-shattering sounds and terrifying fluctuations.
Luo Yan, as the Domain Master of the Nether Ghost Clan, a Peak Mahayana Dao Lord, possessed unfathomable strength. Dense ghost Qi surrounded his body, forming black ghost shadows that continuously launched fierce attacks at Feng Wuheng. His pair of ghost claws rivaled Dao Artifacts, possessing extraordinary power.
Feng Wuhen achieved Epiphany through battle and had just stepped into the Mahayana Realm. However, relying on his extraordinary swordsmanship and profound Dao of Sword Cultivation, he neutralized Luo Yan's attacks one by one and sought opportunities for counterattacks. At this moment, he had already regarded Luo Yan as a whetstone for his sword, honing the deficiencies of his newly advanced Mahayana Realm.
Feng Wuhen's figure was graceful, like a spirit in the wind. His sword light sometimes transformed into a pouring silver river, and at other times condensed into a single cold glint, perfectly illustrating the might of Sword Intent.
Luo Yan's ghost Qi surged around him, transforming into massive Nether Ghost Hands that blotted out the sky. These ghost hands were not only incredibly powerful but also contained power that corroded the Soul, instantly killing ordinary Cultivators upon contact.
Facing the overwhelming Nether Ghost Hands, filled with the Aura of death, Feng Wuhen showed no panic. An unprecedented Sword Intent erupted from within him. This Sword Intent was pure and sharp, like the rising sun, piercing through layers of ghost mist and illuminating the entire battlefield.
With a clear cry from Feng Wuhen, the longsword in his hand transformed into a brilliant sword rainbow, soaring into the sky, then returning at an incredible speed. The tip of the sword pointed directly at Luo Yan's impenetrable wall of ghost shadows.
"One sword breaks myriad Spells, my Selfless Sword Intent appears!"
Feng Wuhen let out a low cry. The Azure Rainbow longsword cut through the sky, bringing with it a piercing sound of rushing wind. Wherever it passed, the Nether Ghost Hands shattered and dispersed like paper, and even the surrounding ghost Qi was purified, revealing a brief moment of clarity.
"Nether Devours Souls, Myriad Ghosts Pay Homage!" Luo Yan roared, and the entire battlefield seemed to tremble. Countless Nether Ghost Qi converged into a massive ghost head, opening its huge mouth, attempting to devour Feng Wuhen.
Facing this terrifying attack, Feng Wuhen remained composed. His Dao Lord Sword Domain expanded and extended. The sword was him, and he was the sword. His heart moved with his will, and the sword moved with his heart, as he poured his entire focus into the sword. On the longsword, the Sword Intent became even more condensed, as if it were about to materialize.
"Sword Heart Clarity, Myriad Spells Invulnerable!" Feng Wuhen's eyes gleamed with dazzling light. With a swing of his longsword, he directly slashed at the seemingly invincible Nether Ghost Head.
Wherever the sword light reached, it was unstoppable. Even the ghost head, which had gathered countless ghost Qi, was split in two at this moment, exploding with a roar.
"Nether Ghost Domain, Myriad Ghosts Devour Souls!" Luo Yan roared violently. His entire body seemed to merge with the surrounding ghost Qi, transforming into a massive black vortex. At the center of the vortex, a terrifying giant beast, formed purely from ghost Qi, slowly took shape. It had a thousand eyes and a thousand hands. Each eye glowed with eerie green light, and each hand held sharp ghost claws, exuding a chilling Aura.
...
As the battle deepened, the confrontation between Feng Wuhen and Luo Yan gradually escalated to the level of the Mahayana Dao Domain. (End of Chapter)
