The Star Domain beyond the territory was dim and lightless, and the atmosphere on this forgotten planet was extremely oppressive.
As soon as Chen Qingxuan, Feng Yi, Feng Wuhen, and Li Mu appeared, they felt the pervasive hostility around them. The planet's surface was covered with ravines and ruins, clearly the remnants of countless battles and destructions.
A chilling wind blew from the ruins, carrying a strong Devilish Qi and a decaying aura. The surrounding space began to twist, and dark figures slowly emerged from the Void Realm. They were three Demon Abyss Dao Lords, leading an army of Body Integration Demonic Cultivators, surrounding them completely.
The three Demon Abyss Dao Lords, each with a different form, were clearly the leaders of the Blood Demon Clan, the Demon Dragon Clan, and the Netherworld Ghost Clan.
The Dao Lord of the Blood Demon Clan was tall and burly, clad in a blood-red robe that billowed without wind, as if surrounded by invisible flames. His face was hidden beneath the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of eyes that flickered with an eerie red light, like two blood lamps in the abyss, revealing endless greed and murderous intent. His hands were long and pale, and his entire body was permeated with scarlet Blood Origin power.
The Dao Lord of the Demon Dragon Clan was a giant clad in black armor, intricately carved with Dragon patterns, as if a True Dragon had possessed him, radiating inviolable majesty. His pair of emerald vertical pupils, like two brilliant jewels, exuded coldness and dominance. He held a massive Dragon-shaped long spear, its tip gleaming with a chilling light, emanating a terrifyingly sharp aura.
The Netherworld Ghost Clan Dao Lord, Luo Yan, had a pair of eerie green eyes filled with killing intent, staring intently at Feng Wuhen, Chen Qingxuan, and the other three, filled with murderous intent, wishing he could pounce on them and devour them whole.
"Luo the Cripple, you've truly disgraced yourself. You didn't even realize you were being followed and chased all the way here?"
The man in black Demonic armor glanced contemptuously at the Ghost Clan Domain Master, Luo Yan, and mocked him playfully.
"You Yuan, stop talking nonsense. If you're so capable, then you kill them!" Luo Yan retorted angrily, his voice tinged with unwillingness and resentment, and the black mist around him grew denser.
Hearing this, the black-armored man grinned, his pair of emerald vertical pupils fixed on Chen Qingxuan and the other three, his smile full of amusement and disdain: "Your taunting won't work on me. However, since you said so, I'll play with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-armored man—You Yuan—suddenly erupted, charging towards the four like a black lightning bolt. The black long spear in his hand sliced through the air, pointing directly at Chen Qingxuan's chest.
Chen Qingxuan's eyes narrowed. His Gengjin longsword crossed his chest, its light like a streak of silk, colliding with You Yuan's black long spear, erupting in dazzling sparks.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, Chen Qingxuan was sent flying, retreating several miles before he could regain his posture, floating in the Void Realm, his eyes flickering with solemnity.
"Junior Brother Chen!" Feng Yi roared, his Qingyuan Dao Sword drawing a lightning-like trajectory in the air as he rushed to assist.
At the same time, Feng Wuhen also transformed into a breeze, circling behind You Yuan.
The other two Domain Masters of the Demon Abyss Three Clans would not let them succeed and followed suit with their attacks.
The Blood Demon Dao Lord snorted coldly, his blood-red robe billowing without wind. A powerful Blood Origin force surged from his body, transforming into countless bloody hands, grabbing and attacking Feng Yi and Feng Wuhen.
Luo Yan followed closely, a fierce glint flashing in his eerie green eyes. As he spread his hands, the surrounding black mist seemed to come alive, transforming into ferocious ghost shadows that lunged at the four. The ghost shadows shrieked in the air, emitting ear-piercing screams, attempting to inflict heavy psychological damage on the four.
Soon, Chen Qingxuan, Feng Yi, Feng Wuhen, and the Domain Masters of the Demon Abyss Three Clans engaged in fierce combat, their Mahayana Dao Lord's Sword Domain and Dao Domain clashing intensely.
In the dim Star Domain, sword light and Devilish Qi intertwined to form a breathtaking picture. Chen Qingxuan, Feng Yi, and Feng Wuhen, three Mahayana Sword Cultivators, each displayed extraordinary Sword Dao cultivation, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the leaders of the Demon Abyss Three Clans.
Chen Qingxuan's figure was ethereal, the Gengjin longsword in his hand seemed to have a life of its own, each sword strike accompanied by a tiger-roaring sword cry, constantly clashing with You Yuan's long spear, colliding fiercely. He displayed a golden battle armor, releasing endless golden origin power, which, combined with his golden origin Sword Domain, neutralized You Yuan's attacks one by one and gradually gained the upper hand. The golden battle armor not only offered astonishing defense but also, when the sword light was wielded, was blessed with ten thousand golden origins, making Chen Qingxuan's sword moves incomparably sharp.
However, the Demon Dragon Clan possessed powerful Physical Bodies and rapid recovery, and their black scales were indestructible. The black-armored Demon Dragon Dao Lord, wielding his Dragon-shaped long spear, unleashed a deafening Dragon roar with every swing, as if a True Dragon was incarnate, utterly domineering. He utilized his powerful Physical Body and weapon advantage to fiercely counter Chen Qingxuan, fearless of harm.
...
Feng Yi and the Blood Demon Dao Lord were locked in a fierce struggle. The Qingyuan Dao Sword, transformed into a Green Iris, was incredibly agile. Dressed in a set of green battle armor, with wisps of green wind swirling around him, he formed a stark contrast to the Blood Demon Dao Lord's surging Blood Origin power. Each sword dance was like a green whirlwind, shredding the Blood Demon Dao Lord's bloody hands one by one. At the same time, he skillfully used the protection of his green battle armor to neutralize the Blood Demon Dao Lord's attacks invisibly.
The Qingyuan Dao Sword further displayed its unique spirituality, at times transforming into a sharp arrow piercing through the sea of blood, and at other times transforming into a giant eagle soaring high, delivering unexpected blows to the Blood Demon Dao Lord. However, the Blood Demon Dao Lord's methods were extremely bizarre, condensing a sea of blood and integrating his body into it, his Blood Sea Dao Domain Clones being endless.
The Blood Demon Dao Lord utilized this bizarre movement technique to appear and disappear on the battlefield, making it difficult for Feng Yi to track his whereabouts. At the same time, he formed hand seals, gathering power in his palms, gradually forming a massive blood orb containing world-destroying power.
"Boundless Sea of Blood, Blood Demon Descends!" The Blood Demon Dao Lord roared, thrusting the blood orb towards Feng Yi. The blood orb rapidly expanded in the air, and everywhere it passed, the space seemed to be stained crimson, as a chilling aura of destruction descended.
"Green Iris Soars to the Heavens, Dawn Strike!" Feng Yi's spiritual power surged throughout his body, and he shouted loudly. The Qingyuan Dao Sword instantly transformed into a streak of green light, like lightning tearing through the night sky, directly striking the maximally expanded blood orb. The green light and the crimson torrent converged in the air, erupting in a deafening roar that shook the entire Star Domain.
...
The battle between Feng Wuhen and the Ghost Clan Dao Lord, Luo Yan, was unpredictable and ever-changing. He transformed into a breeze, moving freely across the battlefield, sometimes appearing behind Luo Yan to deliver a fatal blow, and other times circling to his side to disrupt his attacks.
Luo Yan's Ghost Clan secret techniques seemed to lose their effect in front of Feng Wuhen, unable to capture Feng Wuhen's figure. Feng Wuhen utilized his ultimate control over wind-attribute Qi to constantly weaken Luo Yan's Devilish Qi, causing his attacks to gradually diminish.
However, the Ghost Clan Dao Lord, Luo Yan, had the home-field advantage and began to chant an ancient incantation.
"Gate of the Netherworld, Open!" As Luo Yan's deep and prolonged voice echoed across the battlefield, an even denser and colder Devilish Qi surged from deep underground, intertwining with the pervasive decaying aura to form a dark vortex.
At the center of the vortex, a portal formed entirely of pure Devilish Qi slowly opened, exuding a chilling aura of death.
...
The three Dao Lord Sword Cultivators and the Domain Masters of the Demon Abyss Three Clans fought their own battles, unable to spare any attention for others, leaving Li Mu to face the twelve Body Integration Cultivators from the three clans.
"Kid, surrender quickly! Just a mere Void Refining cultivator, and you alone, how could you possibly withstand our combined might?" A Body Integration Cultivator sneered, holding a Magical Artifact, pressing closer step by step. The other Body Integration Cultivators around him were also eager to move, ready to capture him together at any moment.
Li Mu remained silent, his gaze fixed on one of the Body Integration Cultivators, clearly recognizing his identity. It was none other than Night Emperor - Di Tianxing. Two hundred years ago, they had fought on Dark Spirit Star.
"It's you! I never thought I'd meet you here again today! Hahaha, truly the heavens have eyes!" Night Emperor - Di Tianxing met Li Mu's gaze, recognized him, and immediately burst into ecstatic, hysterical laughter.
"Fellow Daoist Di, you know this boy!" A Body Integration Cultivator who looked like a leader asked Night Emperor - Di Tianxing in surprise.
"Of course! This boy ruined my ten-thousand-year plan, destroyed my Dao path, stole my treasure vault, and once nearly took my life by himself! He is the Artifact Refining Saint Master of Xuantian Sword Sect, and the Dao Artifacts of those three Dao Lords were refined by this boy." Night Emperor - Di Tianxing gnashed his teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out, revealing his deep-seated hatred for Li Mu.
Night Emperor - Di Tianxing's gaze towards Li Mu became exceptionally sinister, as if it could solidify into tangible ice, and he gnashed his teeth, saying, "Today, I swear to personally slay this boy to avenge my past humiliation!"
The surrounding Body Integration Cultivators were all shocked upon hearing this. They never expected that this seemingly ordinary Void Refining cultivator before them possessed such a brilliant record, capable of defeating a powerhouse like Night Emperor - Di Tianxing.
"So that's how it is. This boy must not be allowed to live. We will lend you a hand and completely slay him!"
"Enough talk, let's take down this boy as quickly as possible before the three Domain Masters finish their battle!"
...
The Body Integration Cultivators responded one after another. They adjusted their positions, forming a tighter encirclement, trapping Li Mu in the center. Devilish Qi gathered in their hands, and powerful Demonic Artifacts emerged, their fluctuations intense, clearly indicating they were preparing to unleash their ultimate techniques, striving for a quick victory.
"They were able to come to this realm because of you?"
Facing the encirclement of the demons, Li Mu's gaze was calm. He looked directly at Night Emperor - Di Tianxing and asked for confirmation.
Scanning the desolate planet, Li Mu had already discovered traces of a Ghost Dao Grand Formation, indicating that the Demon Abyss Three Clans had clearly used this method to Breakthrough the Seal Grand Formation of the passage and descend into this realm, and Night Emperor - Di Tianxing, as the one who received them, surely had a hand in it.
Hearing this, Night Emperor - Di Tianxing's lips curled into a cold sneer, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes, and he said with hatred, "Indeed, it was me. You destroyed my Foundation and took my supreme treasure, so naturally, I want you to also experience the taste of losing everything."
Before he finished speaking, Night Emperor - Di Tianxing's figure suddenly erupted, transforming into a black shadow that shot directly towards Li Mu. The Magical Artifact in his hand transformed into a jet-black long spear, emitting an eerie green light and radiating a deadly killing intent.
At the same time, the other Body Integration Demonic Cultivators attacked with hatred. Bloody hands, Demonic claws, Netherworld Ghosts... all sorts of sharp and evil methods assailed Li Mu like a torrential storm. The entire space was instantly enveloped in thick Devilish Qi, making it eerie and terrifying.
Facing this overwhelming offensive, Li Mu showed no sign of panic. With a wave of his hand, seven rank-seven spirit talismans appeared out of thin air. These talismans were colorful and contained terrifying power. They hovered in the air, as if they had a life of their own.
Li Mu released his Divine Thought, and with a light tap of his finger, the seven spirit talismans of different colors were activated, transforming into a rainbow-like band of light that instantly bloomed.
"Extreme Dao Talismans, Fuse!"
Li Mu uttered a low shout, forming hand seals, and released his Dao Lord realm Divine Soul power.
In an instant, the rainbow light band suddenly erupted with dazzling light, like the most magnificent aurora in the sky, illuminating the entire space shrouded in Devilish Qi.
The seven Extreme Dao Spirit Talismans seemed to gain a Soul at this moment. They intertwined and fused in the air, forming a complex and mysterious rune array. Each rune sparkled with the brilliance of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, intertwining to create a magnificent tableau of the Universe at its inception, before Chaos was divided.
As the rune array formed, an ancient and powerful aura permeated the air. It was a terrifying pressure that transcended Body Integration and approached Mahayana. The power of the Five Elements reached a perfect balance and Fusion at this moment: the sharpness of Metal, the vitality of Wood, the suppleness of Water, the intensity of Fire, and the solidity of Earth, all intertwined to form a force capable of shaking heaven and earth. And the power of Yin and Yang, like the Soul of this force, guided the Five Elements to rotate and collide in the Chaos, finally condensing into an ineffable "Chaos True Essence."
This power, amplified by Li Mu's Chaos True Essence, fully erupted, sweeping towards the combined assault of the Body Integration Demonic Cultivators.
The Chaos True Essence, formed by the Fusion of seven Rank-Seven Extreme Dao Talismans, had already swept out like a raging tide, instantly devouring the overwhelming Devilish Qi and attacks. Bloody hands disintegrated, Demonic claws shattered, Netherworld Ghosts dispersed—everything seemed so fragile and vulnerable before this power.
Night Emperor - Di Tianxing's figure was also shaken back repeatedly by this force. The Demonic spear in his hand, which had transformed into a Dragon, let out wails, as if it would break at any moment.
Night Emperor - Di Tianxing retreated dozens of miles, his face ashen, staring at this scene in disbelief. He had never imagined that a Void Refining cultivator could unleash such terrifying power.
"This... this is impossible!" Night Emperor - Di Tianxing roared in disbelief, but the only response was the endless roar and rampage of the Chaos True Essence.
The other Body Integration Demonic Cultivators were even more terrified, fleeing in all directions, attempting to escape this death zone enveloped by the Chaos True Essence. But their speed seemed so powerless in the face of the suddenly erupting Chaos True Essence. One after another, they were swallowed and heavily wounded. Some even consumed their vital blood, using secret techniques to escape, while others sacrificed their Magic Treasures and Physical Bodies, just to gain a sliver of hope.
Under the absolute suppression of this Chaos True Essence, even the most top-tier escape secret arts and sacrifices seemed pale and powerless...
Not long after, when the Chaos True Essence subsided, the entire space returned to a moment of tranquility. Li Mu stood floating in his original position, and the seven Extreme Dao Spirit Talismans slowly drifted down before him. Their once powerful Dao essence was completely depleted with this attack, turning into specks of spiritual light and dissipating into the air.
Of the twelve Body Integration Demonic Cultivators, only nine remained, and each was wounded, with fear on their faces. (End of Chapter)
