Seeing this, Li Mu's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill's spirituality had reached an unprecedented height, even giving birth to a Pill Spirit.
Although the infant Pill Spirit had just formed, its intelligence had already awakened, and the wisdom shining in its eyes revealed a firm unwillingness to be controlled by others.
It wrapped itself in Chaos Qi, attempting to break free from all restraints and escape the area.
"Mingyue, seal the Formation! Don't let the Pill Spirit escape!" Li Mu said in a deep voice, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
If the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill escaped, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
"Yes, Master!" Mingyue responded quickly, waving her small hand, and the Star Array instantly contracted.
Starlight intertwined like chains, firmly sealing the entire space.
The three hundred and sixty Formation Puppets simultaneously exerted their power, and the starlight on the Formation Flags transformed into layers of barriers, completely blocking the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill's escape route.
However, the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill did not surrender.
The twenty-eight constellations on its surface suddenly burst, as if some power between heaven and earth had been awakened, and the illusory infant Pill Spirit, wrapped in even more surging Chaos Qi, soared into the sky, attempting to break through the Star Array's restraints.
Li Mu had anticipated this, and with his sword finger pointing at the sky, he roared, "Stars spread out, locking the sky and imprisoning the earth!"
As Li Mu's roar echoed, the three hundred and sixty Formation Puppets moved in response, and the Star Formation Flags in their hands shot out dazzling silver light.
In an instant, the sky seemed to be torn apart, transforming into a vast sea of stars.
The Big Dipper seemed to come alive at this moment, erupting seven star chains like 'Tian Shu' and 'Tian Xuan', which intertwined to form a star prison covering a hundred miles.
The moment the illusory infant Pill Spirit of the Seven-Rank Dao Pill collided with the star chains, Pill Qi and starlight splattered like rain, resembling the most magnificent fireworks between heaven and earth.
However, behind this splendor lay a deadly danger.
The infant Pill Spirit let out a tender shriek, and the Seven Absolutes Dao patterns on its forehead spun in reverse, forming a vortex that actually transformed the power of the star prison into pure Spiritual Qi and devoured it.
Mingyue conjured a hand seal, controlling the three hundred and sixty Formation Puppets to exert their power simultaneously.
As the Formation Flags swayed, the sea of stars churned, as if the entire world trembled.
Streams of stellar power surged from the bodies of the Formation Puppets, converging into an irresistible torrent that firmly trapped the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill.
The next moment, Li Mu's figure suddenly vanished from his original spot, leaving only an afterimage flickering in the air.
"Collect!"
With a fierce roar from Li Mu, his figure suddenly appeared in front of the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill and grabbed it in mid-air.
That seemingly fragile hand, devoid of bones, contained astonishing power, and the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill immediately fell into Li Mu's palm, emitting mournful cries, as if it sensed an irresistible force.
The Seven-Rank Dao Pill struggled, trying to escape Li Mu's control, but he gathered Chaos Fire in his hand, suppressing its spirituality, and it finally fell helplessly into his palm.
The Pill body was as warm and smooth as before, no longer able to break free from the Restriction.
Li Mu was slightly pleased; he had finally succeeded in subduing this Seven Absolutes Dao Pill.
Li Mu took out a Pill bottle and carefully placed the Dao Pill inside.
Seeing this, Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and immediately controlled the Formation Puppets to disperse the Star Formation.
The three hundred and sixty Formation Puppets transformed into streaks of light, returning to the Sky Puppet Spirit Token.
Putting away the Pill bottle, Li Mu released his Divine Sense, and his pupils suddenly contracted as his Divine Sense swept across the surroundings.
To help him successfully subdue the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill, Xue'er, Green-Eyed Golden Ape, and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix were fighting with all their might, holding back the strong Cultivators coming from all directions.
His Divine Sense spread out like a tide, instantly covering ten thousand miles, and the battle situations of Xue'er, Green-Eyed Golden Ape, and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix were all within his sight.
However, what made Li Mu's heart sink even more was that two terrifying auras were rapidly approaching from the distant sky, clearly from a Great Ascension Demon Cultivator of the Demon Abyss and a Great Ascension Immortal Lord of the Immortal Spirit Realm!
The appearance of high-level Cultivators from the Demon Abyss and the Immortal Spirit Realm meant that the top powerhouses of both forces, the Demon God and the Immortal Emperor, were probably also on their way.
"Can't delay any longer!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a majestic Sword Mountain appeared out of thin air.
The Sword Mountain soared into the clouds, its body filled with countless Seventh-Order Dao Swords.
"Myriad Swords Mountain, open!" Li Mu roared, and the Sword Mountain vibrated violently, countless sword lights shot into the sky, turning into a rain of swords that poured towards the battlefield.
"Powerful enemies are approaching, Xue'er, Xiao Jin, retreat quickly!"
At the same time, Li Mu's Divine Thought resonated in Xue'er, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Wa's Sea of Consciousness simultaneously.
Upon hearing this, Xue'er retracted her nine tails, her figure transforming into a streak of light, swiftly disengaging from the battle with the Azure-Clad Sword Cultivator.
The Azure-Clad Sword Cultivator was about to pursue but was forced back by the sword rain from Myriad Swords Mountain and had to sacrifice his protective Sword Qi to defend himself.
"Puff, puff, puff..." The sword rain, like dragons, densely struck the battlefield.
The endless Sword Qi, imbued with Li Mu's vast Sword Intent, forced back the surrounding strong Cultivators.
Xue'er's figure was agile, her nine tails swaying gently, and she instantly passed through the sword rain, returning to Li Mu's side.
The Green-Eyed Golden Ape also roared, swinging its Jin Gang Dragon Snake Staff to fend off the surrounding attacks, its body erupting into a golden lightning bolt, rushing towards Li Mu.
The Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix spread its wings, waved its Fire Feather Fan, and flames surged, releasing a wall of fire to block the outside, then transformed into a streak of light, returning closely behind Xue'er.
Ink Jade Rock Lizard - Xiao Wa, whose body was like a rock, its scales shimmering with a dark green luster.
It suddenly swung its thick tail, sending a persistent Demon Cultivator flying.
The Demon Cultivator, like a broken kite, crashed heavily against a distant mountain wall.
Taking this opportunity, it suddenly pushed off with its four limbs, and the ground instantly cracked.
It was like a green lightning bolt, breaking through layers of obstacles, heading straight for Li Mu.
Qinglong - Qinglin manifested his Dragon body, circling and tumbling in the air, his Dragon roar shaking the heavens and earth.
His massive body flexibly weaved among the many Cultivators, and with a sweep of his Dragon claws, a Myriad Wood Law Domain would roll out, trapping the surrounding enemies.
Then, with a sway of his Dragon body, he transformed into a brilliant azure light, streaking across the sky, instantly appearing beside Li Mu, standing motionlessly like a guardian god.
Azure Jade Ginseng King emitted a faint azure light around its body, its roots intertwined like coiling dragons.
Waving its roots, it firmly entangled a Body Integration Demon Cultivator, while it itself transformed into a wisp of azure smoke, drifting gracefully to Li Mu's side, standing steadily.
Li Mu's Divine Thought moved, and he brought them, along with Mingyue, into the Painting World Treasure Mansion.
After confirming that all his companions had safely returned to the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu felt a little relieved.
However, the two terrifying auras in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the surrounding strong Cultivators had formed a siege, leaving him no time to linger.
The air around him seemed to solidify, and powerful auras surged from all directions, firmly locking onto the space where Li Mu was.
Those strong Cultivators who had been forced back by the sword rain now rushed forward like sharks smelling blood.
"Want to leave? Leave the Divine Pill!" Withered Wood Senior, exasperated, rushed forward.
"Don't even think about leaving with the Divine Pill!" A Body Integration Sword Cultivator roared repeatedly, flying towards him with his sword.
...
For a moment, from all directions, numerous strong Cultivators, various Magic Treasures, and Divine Abilities manifested.
The entire sky was filled with various colored lights, and the roaring sounds were deafening, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
"Myriad Swords Mountain, suppress!" Li Mu roared, forming hand seals.
Myriad Swords Mountain vibrated again, and countless Sword Qi poured down like a waterfall, forming a hundred-mile Sword Domain, sealing the entire battlefield.
Within the Sword Domain, Sword Qi crisscrossed, filled with chilling killing intent.
Those Great Ascension Cultivators who tried to rush into the Sword Domain felt an unprecedented pressure, and the Sword Qi, sharp as blades, cut through the Void Realm.
A slight carelessness would result in a threat to their lives.
Some Body Integration Stage Cultivators with weaker cultivation were even forced back repeatedly by the Sword Qi, their faces pale, their eyes filled with terror.
"Ah!"
"What a terrifying Sword Domain! My life is over!" A Body Integration Stage Demon Cultivator screamed.
He had originally intended to rely on his Demonic Technique and Magic Treasure to resist the Sword Domain, but he didn't expect the sharpness of the Sword Qi to far exceed his imagination.
In just an instant, his protective Devilish Qi was torn apart by the Sword Qi, and he suffered multiple cuts on his body, with blood gushing out.
"Retreat quickly! This Sword Domain cannot be forced!" Another Body Integration Sword Cultivator shouted.
Seeing his companion's tragic state, his heart was filled with horror, and he quickly turned to flee.
However, the Sword Domain had already formed, how could Li Mu give them a chance to escape?
"Profound Heaven Sword Formation, kill!" Li Mu coldly shouted, suddenly clasping his hands together.
The countless Dao Swords and Spirit Swords on Myriad Swords Mountain all vibrated simultaneously, emitting deafening sword hums.
The next moment, ten thousand sword lights shot into the sky, forming a long river of Sword Qi that swept in all directions.
Wherever the long river of Sword Qi passed, the Void Realm collapsed, and the heavens and earth lost their color.
Those Body Integration Cultivators and Mahayana Cultivators who tried to escape were all swept into the long river of Sword Qi, some dying, some injured, some not even having time to scream.
"This... What kind of Divine Ability is this?!" Withered Wood Senior's pupils contracted, his heart filled with horror.
Facing such a terrifying long river of Sword Qi, he couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.
At this moment, the numerous strong Cultivators no longer cared about the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill.
They all used their life-saving methods, fleeing far away, staring at Li Mu, who was activating the Sword Mountain, with apprehension and making various guesses about his identity.
"Who exactly is this person? His combat power is so terrifying!" A surviving Body Integration Stage Cultivator looked at the battlefield, where the aftershocks of the long river of Sword Qi still rippled, with lingering fear.
His precious armor was torn by the Sword Qi, leaving him in a sorry state, his eyes filled with shock and fear.
Although they were also Body Integration Cultivators, the Sword Formation and Sword Domain unleashed by the opponent made them feel an unprecedented threat of death.
That long river of Sword Qi was like a mark of death across the sky, irresistible and unstoppable wherever it went.
Withered Wood Senior's expression was grave, knowing that he had encountered a tough opponent today.
As a Great Ascension Stage powerhouse, he should have had the arrogance of transcending the mundane, but at this moment, he had to re-examine the young man in front of him.
"This person's attainments in the Dao of the Sword are truly rare.
Our defeat today is not due to our fighting, but because we encountered an invincible enemy," Withered Wood Senior said in a deep voice.
Those strong Cultivators who had originally coveted the Seven Absolutes Dao Pill were now disheartened.
It was truly unwise to risk offending such a powerful enemy for a Dao Pill.
At this moment, Li Mu stood within the Sword Domain, surrounded by Sword Qi, like a god of the sword.
"Profound Heaven Sword Formation! This person is Li Jianxian!"
"Ah! It's actually him!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, revealing Li Mu's mysterious identity.
For a time, discussions arose, and many strong Cultivators turned their heads, their eyes flashing with shock and reverence.
"Li Jianxian? Is he the legendary Li Mu who was jointly wanted and pursued by Eternal Demon God and Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor for hundreds of years, yet remains unharmed, renowned throughout the Nine Heavens?" A Body Integration Stage Cultivator asked with wide, disbelieving eyes.
"Besides him, who else could possess such terrifying Sword Dao power? That Profound Heaven Sword Formation is his famous ultimate skill!" Another Cultivator echoed, his tone filled with admiration for Li Mu.
However, Li Mu's gaze did not rest on these Cultivators.
His Divine Sense penetrated ten thousand miles, falling upon the two terrifying auras rapidly approaching from the distance.
Li Mu's Divine Thought moved, recalling Myriad Swords Mountain.
Ten thousand Seventh-Order Dao Swords and Sixth-Order Spirit Swords returned to Myriad Swords Mountain like a school of fish.
At the same time, Li Mu quickly took out a Transmission Formation Plate from his tianxuan ring.
The Formation Plate was engraved with intricate space-time patterns, emitting a faint silver light, filled with the power of space-time.
"Activate!" Li Mu unhesitatingly injected Spiritual Qi into the Formation Plate.
The runes on the Formation Plate instantly lit up, and silver light flowed like water, forming a complex Formation pattern.
In the center of the Formation, space began to distort, and a silver light gate slowly opened.
Just then, a cold snort came from the distant sky: "Trying to escape? Too late!"
Before the words finished, a giant demonic hand descended from the sky, its Devilish Qi surging, heading straight for Li Mu.
From the east, a dazzling immortal light streaked across the sky, transforming into a massive immortal sword that slashed towards Li Mu.
Li Mu was already prepared.
A Chaos Spirit Banner suddenly flew out from his Sea of Consciousness.
The banner unfurled in the wind, and Chaos Qi surged out like a tide, instantly forming a thick barrier, blocking in front of him.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the demonic hand and the immortal sword simultaneously struck the Chaos barrier, erupting in earth-shattering roars.
Energy ripples scattered, and space was torn into countless tiny cracks.
However, the Chaos Law Domain activated by the Chaos Spirit Banner, like a black hole, completely devoured the terrifying power released by the demonic hand and the immortal sword, without even stirring a ripple within it.
The Chaos Law Domain condensed by the Chaos Spirit Banner had astonishing defense.
Even a full-power strike from a Great Ascension Cultivator failed to break it.
Li Mu held the Chaos Spirit Banner, and with a thought, the Transmission Formation Plate suddenly vibrated, glowing brightly with silver light, and the Transmission Formation instantly activated.
Li Mu's figure flashed, and he stepped directly into the silver light gate.
"Don't think of escaping!" The Demon Abyss Great Ascension Demon Cultivator roared, his Devilish Qi churning, and a heaven-covering demonic hand once again condensed, grabbing towards the light gate.
The Immortal Spirit Realm's Great Ascension Immortal Lord also snorted coldly, and his immortal sword transformed into a streak of light, piercing directly towards the light gate.
However, just as their attacks were about to touch the light gate, the light gate suddenly closed.
"Boom!"
The demonic hand and the immortal sword simultaneously struck the spot where Li Mu had been, and the ground instantly cracked, space twisted, and violent energy swept in all directions.
However, Li Mu's figure had already vanished without a trace, leaving only a chaotic battlefield.
"Damn it!" The Demon Abyss Great Ascension Demon Cultivator roared, his Devilish Qi surging, transforming into a demonic shadow, and chasing in the direction where Li Mu had teleported away.
"Do you think you can escape like this? No matter where you go, I will pursue you to the ends of the earth!" The Immortal Spirit Realm's Great Ascension Immortal Lord also had a gloomy expression, and his figure flickered, transforming into a dazzling immortal light, closely following the Demon Abyss Great Ascension Demon Cultivator.
