The White Feather Spirit Eagle let out a sharp eagle cry, a hint of panic and unwillingness in its voice.
Its massive wings flapped violently in the strong winds, stirring up gusts of storms, attempting to break free from the Dan Tribulation's lock.
However, how could the Heavenly Dao's will be so easily escaped?
Five Dan Tribulation bolts, like five giant dragons, emerged from the clouds, their mouths gathering the power of thunder, ready to erupt at any moment.
Inside the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu's expression showed no panic at all; the Five Elements Dao Pill contained the ultimate Five Elements power of the Heaven and Earth, and its birth would naturally attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao's will, so he was well-prepared.
Li Mu's Divine Thought moved, and a set of Formation plates appeared, which were precisely the Formation artifacts of the 'Heavenly Evolution Stealth Formation'.
This set of Seven-Rank Formation artifacts was created by Li Mu using his profound understanding of the Heaven and Earth Law and his unique achievements in Artifact Refining and talisman drawing over the years, resulting in a Formation called “Heavenly Evolution Stealth Formation”.
The “Heavenly Evolution Stealth Formation” could cleverly guide Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, causing the newly born Heaven-Defying object to merge with the surrounding Heaven and Earth at the moment of its birth, blurring the boundaries of its existence, thereby avoiding the direct perception of the Heavenly Dao's will.
Li Mu's fingertips glowed with Chaos spiritual light, and eighty-one jade Formation plates rotated like stars, outlining the trajectory of the Zhou Tian in the Void Realm.
The moment the Formation patterns lit up, the grotto-heaven where the Painting World Treasure Mansion was located suddenly rippled like water, and the aura of the five Five Elements Dao Pills was split into thousands of strands, quietly dissipating along different spatiotemporal dimensions.
"Formation Activate!"
With a clear shout, thirty-six main Formation plates submerged into the earth veins, and forty-five auxiliary Formation plates suspended to form a Formation; the Spiritual Qi within the grotto-heaven suddenly reversed, and the Heavenly Dao's will, which had been directly aimed at the Dao Pill, suddenly became lost in layers of spatiotemporal folds.
Outside, the pressure of the Heaven and Earth drastically decreased, the dark clouds dispersed, and the thunder disappeared, as if everything just now was merely an illusion.
The White Feather Spirit Eagle felt the pressure vanish, and the frequency of its wing beats gradually slowed, returning to a stable flying posture.
A hint of confusion flashed in its eyes, as if the Heavenly Tribulation had never occurred.
"Continue forward, do not delay!"
The next moment, Li Mu's figure appeared in the White Feather Spirit Eagle's Sea of Consciousness.
The White Feather Spirit Eagle's spirit invigorated, instantly understanding the reason for the Heavenly Tribulation's sudden appearance and disappearance—it was due to its master.
It let out a low cry, flapped its wings fiercely, transforming into a white streak of light that streaked across the sky, speeding towards the Central Continent Spiritual Domain.
Inside the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu smiled faintly, examining the five Five Elements Dao Pills in his hand.
Under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, the attributes of the Five Elements Dao Pills were clearly displayed before his eyes.
【Five Elements Dao Pill】
【Rank: Seven-Rank Dao Pill】
【Characteristics: Five Elements Fusion, Dao Law Manifestation, Nascent Spirituality, Astonishing Medicinal Power, Five Elements Dao Law, Advancing Five Elements, Five Elements Aptitude.】
【Status: Dan Spirit Perfection, Pure Medicinal Properties, Five Elements Balance, Internalized Spiritual Light.】

This Pill contains the purest Five Elements power of the Heaven and Earth, with astonishing medicinal power.
Its medicinal properties are Five Elements, mutually generating and restraining, with Five Elements coexisting and nascent spirituality.
It can help Cultivators comprehend the Five Elements Great Dao and advance their cultivation.
Consuming this Pill can not only greatly enhance a Cultivator's Five Elements Spiritual Root but also strengthen their Physique and extend their Lifespan, making it a rare treasure on the path of cultivation.】
After seeing the attributes of the Five Elements Dao Pill, Li Mu smiled contentedly.
With a thought, a Medicinal Pill bottle flew out from the tianxuan ring, collecting four Five Elements Dao Pills into it.
Li Mu's gaze finally fell upon the sole remaining Five Elements Dao Pill in his hand.
The thumb-sized five-colored Dao Pill floated in his palm, emitting a warm spiritual light, its Dan patterns flowing as if containing a Five Elements world.
Li Mu no longer hesitated, opening his mouth and swallowing the Five Elements Dao Pill.
The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm medicinal liquid that flowed down his throat into his body.
Instantly, a vast Five Elements power erupted within him.
The Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were like five wildly dancing giant Dragons, surging endlessly through his Meridians, intertwining with each other yet also mutually restraining, forming a wondrous balance.
Li Mu dared not be careless and immediately circulated his Cultivation Technique, guiding this vast Five Elements power to circulate within his body.
The Five Elements power, mutually generating and restraining, gradually fused with his Physical Body, Meridians, and Dantian.
Li Mu felt an unprecedented sense of comfort rising from his Dantian, soaring to the sky, and his Soul seemed to be purified even further by this power.
Li Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, accelerating the operation of the Chaos Dao Scripture, guiding this Five Elements power to rapidly circulate through his Meridians, fusing the Five Elements Law with the principles of Chaos, and exploring a higher level of Dao Realm.
As time passed, the medicinal power of the Five Elements Dao Pill was gradually absorbed by Li Mu, and his Chaos True Essence was also significantly enhanced, becoming tougher and more vibrant.
Even more surprisingly, his understanding of the Five Elements Law seemed to have advanced another step, subtly sensing the pulsation of the Five Elements in the Heaven and Earth, as if the entire world became clearer in his perception.
When the last trace of medicinal power merged into the Chaos Spiritual Qi, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of regret flashing within them.
This Five Elements Dao Pill possessed extraordinary medicinal power, offering considerable assistance even to Body Integration Realm Cultivators.
However, what he cultivated was the Chaotic Great Dao, and a mere Five Elements Dao Pill was not enough to help him Break through his current Bottleneck and advance to Mahayana.
He still needed to find a way to refine the Seven Absolute Pills!
However, these Five Elements Dao Pills would be of great help to Xue'er and Xiao Jin.
With a huge stock of Seven-Rank Five Elements Spirit Medicine, Li Mu had a plan.
He decided to continue refining a batch of Five Elements Dao Pills for future needs.
Whether for improving Xue'er's and their Aptitude, or for future explorations and battles, this batch of Five Elements Dao Pills would be a force that could not be ignored.
With a thought from Li Mu, a flash of light appeared in the tianxuan ring, and a large quantity of high-rank Five Elements Spirit Medicine once again floated in mid-air, colorful and fragrant.
Li Mu gazed at these Spirit Medicine, a surge of heroic spirit welling up in his heart, as if he saw Xue'er and Xiao Jin greatly advancing their cultivation and successfully advancing after consuming the Five Elements Dao Pills.
Soon, Li Mu once again activated the star radiance treasure furnace.
This time, the refining process was no different from before, from purifying Spirit Medicine, refining medicinal liquid, forming pills, nourishing pill spirits, and so on, he skillfully carried out batch refining.
Time flew by, and more than three months passed.
The White Feather Spirit Eagle sped all the way, flying into the hinterlands of the Central Continent Spiritual Domain.
Along the way, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was richer than in the periphery, with magnificent mountains and swirling clouds, resembling a fairyland.
Just as the White Feather Spirit Eagle was immersed in the freedom and exhilaration of soaring through the sky, a sudden cold aura rose from below, breaking the surrounding tranquility.
Its heart tightened, and its gaze, sharp as a torch, quickly scanned below.
He saw that in a desolate Spirit Valley, several figures were rapidly approaching.
They wore black robes, had ferocious faces, and held various Magical Artifacts, clearly a group of Demon Cultivators.
A warning bell rang in the White Feather Spirit Eagle's heart.
It spread its wings, preparing to take a detour and escape the trouble.
However, that group of Demon Cultivators seemed to have been prepared.
The leading black-robed old man suddenly conjured a black Magical Artifact.
The Magical Artifact transformed into a black shadow, so fast that it instantly caught up with the White Feather Spirit Eagle, following closely behind.
"Hehe, such a Yao Beast is rare.
Today, I must capture it and offer it to Lord Blood Crimson Demon Lord!
You all hurry and attack, don't let it escape."
The black-robed old man sneered, urging his Magical Artifact to pursue relentlessly, and at the same time, he urged his subordinates.
As soon as the black-robed old man's command fell, the other Demon Cultivators responded, each conjuring their Magical Artifacts.
Some transformed into black lights, others into illusory Yao Beast figures, encircling the White Feather Spirit Eagle from all directions.
In an instant, the entire sky was enveloped by a sinister Devilish Qi.
"Master, I've encountered a strong enemy, please save me!"
The White Feather Spirit Eagle dodged left and right, its cry for help quickly reaching Li Mu's Sea of Consciousness through the Beast Taming Contract.
At this moment, Li Mu, who was concentrating on refining Five Elements Dao Pills inside the Painting World Treasure Mansion, suddenly heard the White Feather Spirit Eagle's cry for help.
His Divine Sense swept out, and his face couldn't help but sink.
He hadn't expected a group of Soul Transformation Demon Cultivators to set their sights on his beast.
Li Mu felt a slight anger in his heart, but the refining of the Five Elements Dao Pills was at a critical juncture, allowing no distraction.
With a thought from Li Mu, a Dragon Guard Puppet emerged from the tianxuan ring, and then he sent it out of the Painting World Treasure Mansion.
The next moment, Dragon Guard Puppet, Dragon One, appeared beside the White Feather Spirit Eagle.
It wore Dragon scale Dao armor and held the Dragon Tooth Dao Sword.
Its sudden appearance instantly solidified the surrounding space.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Dragon One, the Dragon Guard Puppet, all the Demon Cultivators showed expressions of astonishment.
They had never seen such a majestic and powerful Puppet.
The Dragon Qi emanating from it made them feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"What... what kind of monster is this!"
The black-robed old man's face changed drastically.
The black Magical Artifact in his hand seemed to lose its luster in front of Dragon One, becoming dim.
Dragon One paid no attention to their exclamations.
It merely scanned the surrounding Demon Cultivators coldly, then moved its figure, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, rushing straight towards the black-robed old man.
Its speed was so fast that the black-robed old man had no time to react, only watching helplessly as Dragon One's Sword Qi drew closer and closer to him.
"No!" the black-robed old man screamed in terror.
He desperately urged his Magical Artifact, trying to block Dragon One's attack, but it was all in vain.
The Dragon Tooth Dao Sword in Dragon One's hand lightly swung, easily shattering his Magical Artifact, and at the same time, the Sword Qi accurately pierced through his chest.
The black-robed old man's body instantly stiffened.
His eyes filled with unwillingness and fear, and finally, he slowly fell to the ground, losing his life.
The remaining Demon Cultivators, seeing this, were even more terrified, their Souls Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
They all abandoned their Magical Artifacts and fled in all directions.
However, Dragon One did not let them go.
Its figure transformed into a stream of light, rapidly moving among the Demon Cultivators.
Each swing of its sword was accompanied by a brilliant Dragon-shaped Sword Qi, striking down the Demon Cultivators one by one.
The Soul Transformation Demon Cultivators were like fragile ants before Dragon One, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.
In just a moment, the entire Spirit Valley returned to tranquility.
The bodies of the Demon Cultivators were scattered everywhere, while Dragon One floated quietly in the air, exuding an imposing and inviolable aura.
Dragon One scanned the surroundings, confirming that no Demon Cultivators were left, then turned and flew to the side of the White Feather Spirit Eagle, disappearing the next moment.
The White Feather Spirit Eagle fearfully glanced at the bodies of the Demon Cultivators, spread its wings, and quickly flew away from the spot.
Just as the White Feather Spirit Eagle flapped its wings and flew high, gradually moving away from that bloody place, a deeper Devilish Qi suddenly surged from the distant sky.
The density of this Devilish Qi far exceeded the sum of what those previous Demon Cultivators had emitted.
Accompanying the condensation of Devilish Qi, a figure slowly stepped out from the Void Realm.
He wore a black long robe, embroidered with intricate Demon patterns, his face hidden beneath a hood, only vaguely revealing a pair of scarlet eyes, cold and deep.
Blood Crimson Demon Lord stared intently in the direction where the White Feather Spirit Eagle had disappeared, a playful smile on his face.
He had long sensed the battle happening in this Spirit Valley, but for some consideration, he did not immediately show himself, choosing instead to quietly observe the development of events.
At this moment, Blood Crimson Demon Lord slowly walked to the black-robed old man's corpse, knelt down, and examined the injuries on his body.
"What a terrifying Puppet!
What a powerful Sword Artifact!
The secret hidden by that Spirit Eagle is by no means ordinary!" Blood Crimson Demon Lord muttered to himself, a thoughtful glint in his scarlet eyes.
That Puppet not only possessed Dragon Qi but also displayed astonishing combat power.
The spiritual armor and Sword Artifact it wore were extremely high-rank, and behind this, there must be unknown secrets hidden.
Blood Crimson Demon Lord stood up and looked around.
The bodies of those Demon Cultivators were scattered like garbage, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
However, waves surged in the heart of the Demon Shadow Venerable.
He had already realized that the Puppet with Dragon Qi and its master behind it were by no means ordinary characters.
"It seems I've found a big fish!"
Blood Crimson Demon Lord seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but get excited.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, three sharp auras descended from the sky, instantly blocking his path.
Blood Crimson Demon Lord frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in his scarlet eyes.
He looked up, only to see three Dragon Guard Puppets, having appeared silently at some point, encircling him in a triangular Formation.
These three Dragon Guard Puppets were identical to Dragon One, their bodies covered in spiritual armor that shimmered with cold light, holding incredibly sharp Dragon Tooth Dao Swords in their hands.
Dragon-shaped runes faintly flowed on the sword bodies, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they were of the same origin, their auras connected, forming an invisible barrier that firmly trapped Blood Crimson Demon Lord within.
Blood Crimson Demon Lord's face changed drastically.
With a thought, Devilish Qi surged around him, instantly transforming into countless blood shadows, attempting to escape from the Puppet's encirclement.
However, these three Dragon Guard Puppets seemed to have already seen through his intentions.
Without moving their bodies, they merely swung the Dragon Tooth Dao Swords in their hands lightly, and three brilliant Sword Qi, like flood Dragons emerging from the sea, charged towards those blood shadows with a roaring sound.
The blood shadows exploded one after another, turning into specks of blood light that dissipated in the air.
Blood Crimson Demon Lord's true body, however, was hidden among these blood shadows, attempting to confuse and find an opportunity to escape.
But the Dragon Guard Puppets remained unmoved, their figures closely following Blood Crimson Demon Lord's true body, and the three Dragon Tooth Dao Swords continuously slashed.
For a time, Blood Crimson Demon Lord suffered successive injuries, struggling to cope.
