“What is your cultivation Realm after all?”
The Devil God Incarnation’s eyes flashed with disbelief. He clearly only had the Aura of the Void Refining Realm, but the strength he displayed far exceeded even the peak of the Mahayana Realm. Now, it seemed he had greatly underestimated his opponent’s strength.
Li Mu smiled faintly, not answering, but the profound meaning in his smile seemed to be a silent confirmation of his own strength.
“Want to know? A single battle will tell!” Li Mu’s words were firm and powerful. After speaking, he moved, soaring directly into the sky. Spiritual power surged around him like a Dragon ascending to the Nine Heavens, his Aura rising steadily.
Seeing this, the Devil God Incarnation snorted coldly, unwilling to show weakness. His figure transformed into a black shadow, following closely behind, shooting straight into the clouds.
The battle between the two instantly shifted to high altitudes, where clouds churned, and Devilish Qi intertwined with Five Elements primeval energy, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
…
“Elder Yun, what is Elder Li’s cultivation Realm after all!”
Fang Yunjian, covering the wound on his chest with one hand, looked up at the battle above and asked Sword Elder - Yun Yi with confusion.
The battle above was several times more terrifying than the clash between two Great Vehicle Dao Lords.
Yun Yi’s sword-like brows were tightly furrowed. His Divine Sense penetrated through layers of clouds, gazing at the two intertwined figures. He said with a wry smile, “I also find it difficult to judge. Looking at Elder Li’s cultivation Aura, he should be at the same level as me, both Body Integration Cultivators. However, his combat style, his understanding and application of his own Dao intent, far surpass those of his peers. His Divine Soul power exceeds that of a Great Vehicle Dao Lord, and his overall combat strength is even approaching the threshold of a higher Realm.”
“How is that possible!” Fang Yunjian murmured in a daze, filled with shock at the fierce battle above.
“I don’t know what Cultivation Technique Elder Li cultivates. The Five Elements power and Yin and Yang power can transform so freely. It’s as if all the Laws of heaven and earth are within his grasp, and various Secret Manuals and Formation techniques are at his fingertips.” A glimmer of surprise flashed in Yun Yi’s eyes as he praised Li Mu, who was calmly fighting the Devil God Incarnation above.
High in the sky, the battle between Li Mu and the Immortal Devil God Avatar was intense.
“World Annihilation Slash!” The Immortal Devil God roared, and the Devil Sword in his hand instantly crossed and slashed out, unleashing a sharp Sword Qi, like thunder, striking towards Li Mu with a soul-chasing momentum.
Li Mu remained unhurried. With a wave of his hand, a five elements spiritual ring appeared out of thin air, encircling him and emitting a powerful Five Elements spiritual light.
“Five Elements Condensation Shield, Protect!” Li Mu lightly shouted. The five elements spiritual ring burst forth with light, resonating with the Five Elements elements of heaven and earth, instantly forming an indestructible Five Elements barrier.
“Boom!” With a loud bang, the sharp Sword Qi collided with the Five Elements Formation shield activated by the five elements spiritual ring, producing a deafening roar. Li Mu, along with the five elements spiritual ring, was sent flying, but the Sword Qi was completely blocked, and he himself was unharmed.
Li Mu stabilized himself in the air, a faint smile gracing his lips. He had a deeper understanding of the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s power, but there was no fear in his expression. The real battle had just begun.
With a casual wave, Li Mu put the slightly damaged five elements spiritual ring into his storage ring. The next moment, another defensive Dao Artifact appeared, a two-colored round shield, clearly divided into Yin and Yang.
“What other moves do you have? Bring them on.” Li Mu held the Yin Yang Two-Colored Shield, floating in the Void Realm. The Yin and Yang Qi on the round shield flowed ceaselessly, containing the profound truths of heaven and earth, emitting a mesmerizing Aura.
“Good, very good. I want to see how many more protective Dao Artifacts you have!”
The Immortal Devil God was furious, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. Before his words fell, he had vanished like a ghost from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was above Li Mu’s head, his Devil Sword raised high, its tip condensing dense Undying Demon Qi, as if to cleave the entire world in two with a single strike.
“Heaven-Breaking Slash!” The Immortal Devil God murmured, and the Devil Sword swung down fiercely. A Sword Qi containing endless Demonic intent streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying the power to tear space, and slashed towards Li Mu’s head.
Seeing this, Li Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not retreat. His hands quickly formed a Seal, and a vast amount of Yin and Yang power surged into the shield.
“Yin and Yang Reversal, Two Forms Manifest, Shield Guard!” Li Mu shouted softly, forming a Seal.
The Yin Yang Two-Colored Shield burst forth with light, and the Yin and Yang Qi instantly reversed, forming a rotating taiji diagram that protected Li Mu within it.
“Clang!” A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. The Immortal Devil God’s Devil Sword collided with the Yin Yang Two-Colored Shield, erupting in dazzling sparks. The Demonic light on the Devil Sword, upon contact with the taiji diagram, seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force, vanishing instantly without a trace.
However, the power of the Immortal Devil God was extraordinary.
This collision was even more intense than before. The power of the Devil Sword, like a raging tide, crashed against the taiji diagram, producing a deafening roar. Under this powerful force, Li Mu felt a tremendous force, and his entire being, along with the Yin Yang Two-Colored Shield, was sent flying.
Li Mu continuously used Escape Technique in the air, barely managing to stabilize himself.
Seeing this, the Immortal Devil God Avatar naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of his weakness, he transformed into numerous Demonic shadows, attacking Li Mu from all directions. The Devil Sword in his hand slashed repeatedly, each strike containing terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and rivers. He wished he could tear him into a thousand pieces to vent his hatred.
Facing the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s storm-like attacks, Li Mu dodged repeatedly, his figure darting left and right, back and forth, as elusive as a ghost. Each time the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s Devil Sword was about to strike him, he skillfully used Five Elements Shield Technique and Time-Space Escape Technique to evade in advance, and even managed to conjure Clones using Five Elements Avatar Technique to confuse his opponent while dodging.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of moves passed. The Immortal Devil God Avatar failed to harm Li Mu in the slightest, instead being played around, with every attack missing. This filled him with raging anger, and he roared repeatedly.
“Do you only know how to hide? Have the guts to fight me head-on!” The Immortal Devil God Avatar stared intently at Li Mu, roaring in exasperation.
“If you want to kill me, show me your true abilities!” Li Mu sneered coldly, taunting him.
A murderous glint flashed in the Immortal Devil God’s eyes. He immediately realized something and, instead of being provoked by Li Mu, regained his composure.
At present, breaking the Seal Grand Formation below was the key. Getting entangled with this troublesome person would only delay important matters. The Immortal Devil God Avatar looked down at the Seal Grand Formation.
Li Mu, observing his opponent in real-time, immediately perceived the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s intention.
“Want to break the Seal? Wishful thinking. Get past me first!”
Li Mu’s figure flickered, instantly appearing before the Immortal Devil God Avatar. The Yin Yang Two-Colored Shield in his hand once again gathered powerful Yin and Yang energy, ready to launch a new round of attacks.
“Heh!” The Immortal Devil God Avatar sneered. Faced with a self-delivered prey, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
His figure suddenly accelerated, like a meteor in the dark night, plummeting downwards. The Immortal Devil Sword in his hand glowed with a dark light, as if it could devour all light.
“God Annihilation Slash, Kill!”
The Immortal Devil God Avatar roared. The Devil Sword traced a strange arc in the air, carrying a heart-palpitating Devilish Qi, heading straight for Li Mu and the Seal Grand Formation below. With this strike, he condensed all his power, vowing to slay both him and the Seal Grand Formation in one fell swoop.
Li Mu’s expression was solemn. He took out several Dao Artifacts from his tianxuan ring, using his mind for multiple tasks, injecting his entire Chaos True Essence into them.
In an instant, the Seventh-rank supreme Dao Artifact - Myriad Swords Mountain transformed into a thousand-zhang mountain peak, and ten thousand spiritual swords instantly soared into the sky.
A set of Five Elements Array Instruments, a gigantic square Seal, and a Bagua Mirror adorned with mysterious runes, each radiated dazzling light, encircling Li Mu, forming an indestructible defensive net.
“Myriad Swords to One, Mountain Suppresses Demons!”
Li Mu murmured, lightly flicking his finger. The thousand-zhang tall Myriad Swords Mountain seemed to respond to his call. Ten thousand swords flew out simultaneously, forming a gigantic sword, its tip pointing towards the sky, then fiercely meeting the Immortal Devil God, colliding head-on with overwhelming force.
“Boom!” With a loud bang, the gigantic sword formed by ten thousand swords crashed heavily against the black Devil Sword. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, and Sword Qi filled the sky, erupting in a deafening roar.
“Clang clang…” The gigantic sword formed by ten thousand swords seemed to suffer a heavy blow. Under the impact of the black Devil Sword, Seventh-rank spiritual swords and Sixth-rank spiritual swords were forced to disintegrate and peel off one by one, raining down like a sword shower.
“Pfft!” With a loud bang, the black Devil Sword’s momentum did not stop. Its Sword Qi fiercely slashed onto the dark green mountain body of Myriad Swords Mountain, cutting into it and instantly leaving a massive sword mark on the thousand-zhang peak, sending it flying. The Myriad Swords Mountain, a Seventh-rank supreme Dao Artifact, was instantly heavily damaged by a single strike.
Li Mu’s expression changed slightly. He ignored the heartache for Myriad Swords Mountain and continued to control the Five Elements Array Instruments, quickly setting up a Five Elements Grand Formation in the air. The Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flowed ceaselessly, forming a five-colored barrier.
The gigantic square Seal transformed into a stream of light, carrying the weight of a mountain, and directly blasted towards the flank of the Immortal Devil God Avatar, attempting to disrupt his offensive. Wherever the square Seal passed, space seemed to be compressed, leaving behind black cracks, demonstrating its terrifying power.
And that Bagua Dao mirror was Li Mu’s final trump card. He quickly formed hand Seals, muttering, “heaven and earth eight trigrams mirror, reverse! Fixate!”
As the incantation was completed, the Bagua Mirror’s surface glowed brightly, and a majestic Time-Space power surged forth, enveloping the Immortal Devil God Avatar.
Feeling the restraint of that Time-Space power, the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s face suddenly changed. However, the momentum of the God Annihilation Slash was difficult to stop midway. The Devil Sword fiercely slashed onto the Five Elements Formation shield. The next moment, his figure was also fixed by this Time-Space power.
“No!”
The Immortal Devil God Avatar discovered in horror that he couldn’t move. He could only watch as his attack was disintegrated bit by bit. At this moment, the gigantic square Seal, carrying the weight of a mountain, had already whistled over, heading straight for his chest.
“Boom!” With a loud bang, the gigantic square Seal heavily struck the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s chest. The immense power instantly sent him flying, and his body instantly transformed into a black mist.
Just as everyone thought Li Mu had successfully and completely defeated the enemy, the black mist rotated rapidly in the air, as if boundless power was brewing within it.
The black mist dispersed, and after escaping several hundred zhang, it re-condensed into form at a distance in a miraculous manner. The Immortal Devil God Avatar re-emerged, his gaze fixed on Li Mu, his expression showing a few more hints of caution and coldness.
“Do you think this can stop me? The Seal Grand Formation will undoubtedly be broken today!” The Immortal Devil God Avatar’s voice echoed in the Void Realm, carrying an undeniable domineering Aura.
As his voice fell, the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s figure transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards Li Mu. The Immortal Devil Sword in his hand glowed with a dark light, emitting a strange Aura.
“Devil God Style One — Dark Extinction of the Sky, Kill!” The Immortal Devil God Avatar roared. The Devil Sword swung, and instantly, a dark, inky Sword Qi erupted from the sword tip. This Sword Qi was so dense it was almost solidified, carrying destructive power, heading straight for Li Mu.
Li Mu dared not underestimate it. His Chaos True Essence within his body seemed to want to break through the limits of his body, continuously pouring out.
“Five Elements Reversal, Spirit-Severing Law Domain!”
Li Mu simultaneously controlled the Five Elements Array Instruments. The Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth formed a rotating vortex around him. This vortex was not a simple flow of elements, but rather formed a unique Domain — the Spirit-Severing Law Domain.
Within this Domain, the Five Elements elements transformed into each other in a peculiar way, endlessly regenerating, forming invisible spiritual power nets that firmly sealed the surrounding space.
The dark, inky Sword Qi, upon contact with the Spirit-Severing Law Domain, seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. Its speed drastically decreased, and its destructive power was gradually weakened.
Li Mu seized this opportunity to retreat rapidly, widening the distance between himself and the Immortal Devil God Avatar. At the same time, the Dao Artifact - heaven and earth eight trigrams mirror once again shone with a mysterious light.
“Bagua Mirror, Mirror Flower Water Moon, Ethereal Illusion Body!” Li Mu shouted softly. The Bagua Mirror’s surface seemed to transform into a flowing water surface, reflecting the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s figure, but at this moment, it became distorted and illusory.
As Li Mu completed the incantation, the illusory figure actually stepped out of the mirror, transforming into an illusion exactly like the Immortal Devil God Avatar, and rushed towards the main body.
However, Li Mu did not stop there. Using his mind for multiple tasks, he controlled the square Seal Dao Artifact - Demon Suppression Seal, and formed another Seal, saying, “Demon Suppression Seal, Gravity Law Domain, activate!”
As Li Mu’s words fell, the Demon Suppression Seal suddenly expanded, hovering in mid-air. The ancient runes on it began to flicker, releasing waves of heavy pressure. This power inherently suppressed all evil, compressing the air around the Immortal Devil God Avatar to the point of distortion.
Seeing this, the Immortal Devil God Avatar’s face changed again and again. He hadn’t expected Li Mu’s methods to be so endless. He had just escaped the restraint of Time-Space power, and now he was caught in the suppression of a gravity Domain, making his movements slow and difficult.
“Hmph, petty tricks!” Although the Immortal Devil God Avatar was shocked in his heart, he refused to show weakness in his words. He forcibly raised his Undying Demon Qi, attempting to break through the restraint of the gravity Domain.
However, at this moment, the illusory phantom had already rushed before him and engaged him in close combat. Although this phantom was merely an illusion conjured by the Bagua Mirror, its power was comparable to that of the Immortal Devil God Avatar, and it directly affected the Divine Sense. Once wounded by it, it would cause Dao-level damage.
The Immortal Devil God Avatar was momentarily entangled by the phantom, and his body was suppressed by the Demon Suppression Seal, making it impossible to escape for a while. Li Mu, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to control the Five Elements Array Instruments, continuously feeding Chaos True Essence into the Five Elements Grand Formation, attempting to envelop him.
