Li Mu cast his Instant Wheel Divine Ability, his figure vanishing from the spot, evading the giant Yin Fiend hand's attack.
"Heaven and Earth Reversal, Halt!"
Li Mu appeared before Yin Clan Master - Han Ying, Chaos Power surged into the heaven and earth eight trigrams mirror, activating a space-time spell filled with powerful binding force, instantly freezing Han Ying's body on the spot, rendering him unable to move.
The next moment, Li Mu's Five Elements Dao Sword, condensed with Chaos Power, unleashed the second style of the Azure Underworld Sword Sutra - Azure Underworld Annihilation.
"Azure Underworld Annihilation, one sword severs the Soul, all things perish!"
As Li Mu murmured, the Five Elements Dao Sword swung out abruptly, a dazzling yet infinitely deathly sword light tore through the sky, aiming directly at Han Ying's Dao Origin.
Within the azure sword light, Chaos Power perfectly fused with it, forming an unimaginable destructive force. Wherever it passed, even the stagnant space was torn open, and the flow of time slowed down.
Han Ying's expression remained frozen in the stunned state of being immobilized by the Bagua Mirror. He watched helplessly as the sharp azure sword light came directly at him, a hint of despair rapidly spreading in his eyes. But at this moment, any struggle or resistance was futile.
"No... this is impossible..." Han Ying's voice trembled, yet he could only watch as the azure sword light mercilessly cut through his body, along with his Divine Soul consciousness, completely annihilated within this destructive power.
Clean and decisive!
Where the sword light passed, everything returned to tranquility, leaving only emptiness and deathly silence. Han Ying's figure, along with his once-unrivaled Yin Clan Master aura, vanished into nothingness under this single sword strike of Azure Underworld Annihilation.
As Han Ying disappeared, a black spiritual ring and a white crystal appeared.
Li Mu swept his gaze over them, then concealed his Chaos Dao Body, put away the heaven and earth eight trigrams mirror and the Five Elements Dao Sword. His figure flickered, he grabbed the spoils of war, and turned to speed back in the direction he came from.
Soon, Li Mu's figure reappeared before everyone.
"Li Dage!" Xue'er excitedly rushed forward, checking his body up and down to confirm he was unharmed.
"I'm fine!" Li Mu gave Xue'er a smile in return, then turned to Ning Cheng and the others, indicating, "That Demon Cultivator has been eliminated by me, everyone can rest assured!"
Ning Cheng and the others were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into cheers, incredibly excited and disbelieving that the Great Ascension Demon Cultivator who had once made them despair had actually been eliminated by Li Mu alone.
"Elder Li, I never expected that you alone could slay a Great Ascension Blood Cultivator. You truly impress me!" Sword Elder - Ning Cheng excitedly clasped Li Mu's hand, his eyes filled with admiration and shock: "Originally, I was worried about the dangers of this pursuit, but I never imagined Elder Li's strength had become so formidable!"
"Elder Ning, you're too kind. I merely relied on the advantage of artifacts and talismans!" Li Mu smiled slightly, speaking humbly.
"Elder Li, you are too modest. Your battle prowess is unparalleled, and we are all impressed!" Ning Cheng looked at Li Mu with conviction, smiling knowingly.
"That's right! If you hadn't arrived in time, we would probably have all perished in the Yellow Springs!"
"Exactly! Master Li's great kindness, I will never forget!"
...
The Void Refining cultivators showed expressions of relief at having escaped death, enthusiastically surrounding Li Mu and expressing their gratitude.
"Everyone is too kind!" Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, indicating, "The Seal Grand Formation is damaged, I'll go check on it first. It's more important for you all to recover from your injuries first."
After speaking, Li Mu's figure flickered, and he had already flown towards the Seal Grand Formation.
Everyone looked at Li Mu's receding back, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude, knowing that their escape from death this time was entirely due to Li Mu's efforts alone, turning the tide and propping up a collapsing building.
"Li Dage, wait for me!" Xue'er called out sweetly, her figure transforming into a streak of light, closely following him.
Before long, Li Mu quickly formed hand Seals, leading Xue'er into the Seal Grand Formation, heading directly for the spiritual land where a large number of Yin-attributed spiritual plants were cultivated.
Just as Li Mu and Xue'er were diligently repairing the damaged spiritual land, reinforcing the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation, and commencing comprehensive post-war adjustments and recovery, deep within the Demon Abyss at the other end of the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation, an unprecedented anomaly was quietly brewing.
A colossal Devil Abyss Army, personally overseen by the Eternal Demon God, gathered in the Void Realm like a torrent in the night, its momentum unstoppable, shaking every inch of the entire Immortal Devil Domain.
A cold command from the Eternal Demon God, like the whisper of death, instantly echoed throughout the entire Demon Domain. Devilish Qi surged like a boiling river, dyeing the sky a depressing ink color. Driven by this power, the demonic beasts let out deafening roars. They were pulled as if by an invisible hand, surging like a tide towards the mysterious Seal passage connecting the two realms. This was not merely a simple assembly; it was a long-planned invasion of the Spirit Realm.
At the forefront of this army were countless demonic soldiers, holding chains and driving various types of demonic beasts. Some were as large as mountains, others as small as ants, diverse in kind and varied in form, as if the entire Demon Abyss populace had been summoned by this power, rounded up, and pressed towards the sealed two-realm passage.
Fear in the eyes of these demonic beasts, their longing for freedom, and their fanaticism towards creatures of other realms—they were about to become the vanguard for the Eternal Demon God's conquest of the Spirit Realm.
The two-realm passage was a black vortex in the Void Realm, deep and mysterious, seemingly capable of devouring all light. Its grand appearance inspired awe. However, the black vortex was shrouded in a layer of colorful mist. The mist was dreamlike and illusory, beautiful yet containing fatal danger. It was both the manifestation of the Seal Grand Formation's power and the barrier, sealing the two-realm passage and serving as the final shield protecting the Spirit Realm from intrusion.
Before the vast black vortex, tens of millions of Devil Abyss Army, hundreds of millions of demonic beasts and slaves, seemed so small, like an ant colony. However, this ant colony, led by the Eternal Demon God, carried enough power to overturn heaven and earth.
As the Devil Abyss Army approached the two-realm passage, it signaled that the Spirit Realm was about to face an unprecedented catastrophe.
However, before that, they first needed to break through the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation that stood between the two realms.
The Eternal Demon God stood above the Void Realm, his black robe fluttering, his eyes as dark as an abyss, revealing a solemn and resolute expression, waiting for the Devil Abyss Army to gather.
There were two ways to break the two-realm Seal Grand Formation: one was to break it head-on, and the other was to break it from within.
Breaking it head-on would incur a huge cost. For thousands of years, the Eternal Demon God had tried every method, ordering his subordinates to sneak across the boundary, trying every possible way to break the formation from the Spirit Realm side, precisely because he did not want to break it head-on.
However, time was running out now. Once that person in the Spirit Realm grew stronger, it would pose a serious threat to him. The Eternal Demon God could not wait another moment. For this, he meticulously planned an unprecedented ritual, sacrificing the lives of demonic beasts to extract their Devil Blood, vitality, and Death Qi, gathering them into a force powerful enough to shake the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation.
"Prepare the ritual!" The Eternal Demon God's voice was low and powerful, echoing above the Devil Abyss Army, like thunder, shaking hearts.
As his words fell, countless demonic soldiers quickly moved. They held sharp demonic artifacts and began to slaughter the demonic beasts and slaves driven to the front of the two-realm passage. Wails and screams rose and fell, demonic blood splattered, dyeing the Void Realm red, and a thick, suffocating smell of blood permeated the air.
The Eternal Demon God watched all of this expressionlessly. In his eyes, the lives of these demonic beasts and slaves were merely insignificant sacrifices, stepping stones on his path to conquest.
Under the guidance of the demon masters, the Devil Abyss Army moved swiftly. They slaughtered hundreds of millions of demonic beasts and slaves, flaying them, extracting their Devil Blood and Souls. Immediately after, they constructed altars with bones as the foundation, used Devil Blood as ink to carve ancient runes, and ignited the sacrificial fire with Souls as the lead.
The process of constructing the altars was an unprecedented feast of horror, and also the ultimate trampling and insult to life.
Under the busy efforts of the Devil Abyss Army, bone altars rose from the ground, scattered in an orderly fashion around the two-realm passage, like eerie bone forests, emitting a chilling aura of death.
The demonic soldiers, like cold artisans, held sharp demonic artifacts and skillfully cut the corpses of demonic beasts and slaves, piling up bones to form the base of the altars. Between the bones, Devil Blood flowed like viscous red threads, tightly connecting them, as if injecting life into these altars.
And those extracted Souls drifted in the air, wailing helplessly, trying to escape this endless suffering. However, the Eternal Demon God's power firmly bound them, using them as fuel for the sacrificial fire, igniting the blazing flames. In the flames, ancient runes flickered with an eerie light, as if recounting ancient curses and evil powers.
As the altars were completed, the entire Void Realm seemed to be enveloped by this evil power. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and death, causing suffocation and despair. Those living demonic beasts and slaves trembled under the oppression of this power, losing control of their bodily functions. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, already seeing the end of their lives.
The Eternal Demon God, with his massive and towering body, floated above the highest point of the altar, gazing down at this altar built from countless lives. There was no pity in his eyes, only burning heat and greed in his black vertical pupils. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already seen his glorious moment of conquering the Spirit Realm.
The Eternal Demon God slowly raised his hand, palm upwards, and a powerful Undying Demon Qi began to condense in his hand.
"With the Souls of billions of living beings, demonize the Seal!" The Eternal Demon God's voice echoed in the Void Realm, filled with unparalleled dominance and arrogance. He fiercely waved his hand, and a black Undying Demon Qi, like a wild horse unbridled, ignited altar after altar.
Soon, altars began to ignite one by one, Soul fire blazing, reflecting the Eternal Demon God's cold and ruthless face. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of demonic beasts, slaves, and various Demon Abyss races had their extracted Devil Blood, vitality, Death Qi, and Souls merging in a strange way, forming a powerful and evil force.
This evil power, fused with the life essence of countless demonic beasts and slaves, transformed into a giant black Dragon, churning and roaring in the Void Realm, carrying the might to destroy everything, rushing straight towards the two-realm passage, heading for the two-realm Seal Grand Formation shrouded in colorful mist.
However, that layer of colorful mist was like a sponge. After the black Dragon rushed into the passage, it was like a pebble dropping into a deep pool, causing little commotion, absorbing that powerful force without stirring up many ripples.
All of this seemed to be within the Eternal Demon God's expectations, nothing surprising. If the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation were so easy to break, he wouldn't have waited until today.
"Keep killing, it's not enough!"
The Eternal Demon God looked at his subordinates and commanded coldly.
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the demon masters and generals trembled. Although they had already slaughtered countless demonic beasts and slaves, it was clear that the Eternal Demon God's thirst for power far exceeded their imagination.
The demon masters dared not show the slightest delay. The Devil Abyss Army moved again, demonic artifacts swung, and wails once again resounded throughout the Void Realm.
This time, the Eternal Demon God had no patience to wait and personally joined the slaughter. Undying Demon Qi surged from his hands like a tide, instantly engulfing a large area.
Under the shroud of his Devilish Qi, whether demonic beasts or slaves, they all became dull and powerless, as if their Souls had been extracted, allowing the demonic soldiers to slaughter them at will.
Soon, the flames on the altars burned fiercer and fiercer, threatening to engulf the entire Void Realm. And those extracted Souls formed a black ocean in the air, wailing and struggling, yet unable to escape the Eternal Demon God's control.
The Eternal Demon God watched all of this, a mad glint in his eyes.
"Still not enough! More power is needed!" The Eternal Demon God's voice echoed in the Void Realm, carrying a nearly insane obsession, staring fixedly at the two-realm Seal Grand Formation.
With every word from the Eternal Demon God, tens of millions of demonic beasts perished, including high-level demonic beasts and Demon Cultivators of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks. Life was like grass, mercilessly harvested, and the entire Void Realm seemed to have turned into a slaughterhouse.
In the Void Realm, demonic blood gathered into rivers, white bones piled up like mountains, and the Soul fire of the altars blazed fiercely.
The Eternal Demon God clenched his right fist, Undying Demon Qi condensed, frantically drawing the evil power released by each altar, forming dark demonic tornadoes that swirled around him, as if to tear apart this heaven and earth.
"Break for me!"
The Eternal Demon God roared, his entire body's power reaching its peak at this moment. His right fist swung out like a burning meteor, streaking across the sky, heading straight for the two-realm Seal Grand Formation shrouded in colorful mist.
"Boom!" A muffled sound.
Endless Devilish Qi collided with the colorful mist, erupting in a deafening roar. The entire Void Realm trembled, and the two forces tore at each other within the vortex passage, forming a terrifying storm.
However, the two-realm Seal Grand Formation still stood firm. Only the colorful mist on its surface became denser, as if activated, actively resisting the Eternal Demon God's frantic attack.
"What madness are you indulging in!"
Just then, a powerful Divine Thought pierced directly through the two-realm passage, reaching the Eternal Demon God's Sea of Consciousness. (End of chapter)
