The Chaos Ancestral Dragon roared, its Dragon's roar shattering the Void Realm.
As its Dragon tail swept, the power of Guixu surged like a tide towards the Nine Demon Corpses.
The Primordial Phoenix spread its wings, and Nirvana Fire transformed into a sky full of fiery rain.
Every drop of fiery rain contained the power to purify all things, suppressing the Netherworld Fire around the Demon Corpses, forcing them to retreat steadily.
The Qilin stepped on the Yin and Yang roulette, and the power of space and time flowed beneath its feet.
Each step made the Demon Corpses' movements a bit slower, as if bound by invisible shackles.
However, the Nine Demon Corpses were not to be underestimated.
The Ancient Immortal Demon Corpse's Annihilation Finger Seal condensed again.
This time, the Finger Seal not only contained the Clear Sky Immortal Light but also countless Demonic Runes interwoven into the Law of Destruction, pointing directly at Li Mu's glabella.
The Thunder Crystal Dragon Corpse's spinal thunder crystals erupted with an even more violent Primeval Thunder Prison.
Thunder light raged like dragons and snakes, attempting to tear apart Li Mu's Chaotic Dao Domain.
The Thousand-Handed Evil Buddha's Demonic Eye Buddha Light bloomed again, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus blossomed in the Void Realm.
Each lotus petal transformed into an Evil Buddha phantom, chanting soul-stirring demonic sounds.
Li Mu's expression was solemn.
He formed hand seals, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and Chaos Spirit Banner vibrated.
A Chaos light wheel rapidly spun behind him, and as billions of Starry Sky phantoms flowed, they transformed into a brilliant Star River barrier, blocking all attacks from the Nine Demon Corpses.
The Eternal Demon God suddenly tore off his left arm.
The severed arm transformed into a wedge that pierced through the "Chaos Dao Scripture."
The pierced pages began to fall off frantically, each page carrying a contaminated Origin of the Great Dao, smashing towards Li Mu.
Li Mu formed hand seals, fully activating his Chaotic Dao Domain, which once again underwent an extreme transformation.
Behind him, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk exploded in response, its fragments transforming into thirty-six thousand strands of Chaos Sword Qi, precisely piercing into his own Chaos Dao Body—each strand of Sword Qi was stripping away a certain Origin of the Great Dao!
The moment of stripping, the entire battlefield fell into absolute stillness.
Li Mu's pupils suddenly contracted into Chaos whirlpools.
The memory storm triggered by the Nine Demon Corpses stirred up monstrous waves in his Sea of Consciousness.
Those Heart Demon illusions, ignited by the Netherworld Fire, actually burned out real cracks on his Chaos Dao Foundation—this was a fatal flaw that had never appeared since he cultivated the Chaos Dao Body!
"So that's how it is," Li Mu suddenly chuckled softly.
The Chaos Dao patterns appearing on his forehead began to flow in reverse: "Using Chaos as a mirror to reflect the true self!"
Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Heart Demons gnawing at his Dao Foundation suddenly shrieked.
In their burning Netherworld Fire, the most painful memories of the Nine Demon Corpses before their deaths were actually reflected—the wails of the Ancient Immortal Dao Bones tearing apart their Primordial Spirits when infected by Devilish Qi, the sorrowful Dragon's roar shaking the heavens when the Thunder Crystal Giant Dragon was marrow-extracted and Soul Refined, the weeping of the Buddha Heart when the Thousand-Handed Evil Buddha fell into the Demonic Path.
These deliberately sealed memories now transformed into blades of backlash, flowing upstream along the trajectory of the Netherworld Fire!
The Eternal Demon God suddenly grunted, and the demonic blood spurting from his seven orifices actually condensed into blood-colored ice crystals in the Void Realm.
The movements of the Nine Demon Corpses simultaneously froze, and in their hollow eye sockets, turbid tears mixed with demonic blood flowed.
Li Mu seized this one-in-ten-thousand-of-a-second flaw.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations Star Patterns on the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly flew off and spun.
The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon in the East transformed into a jade-carved Dragon wrapping around the sword's edge.
The Seven Mansions of the White Tiger in the West condensed into Geng Jin Evil Qi to temper the Sword Intent.
The Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the South ignited Nirvana True Fire to forge the sword soul.
The Seven Mansions of the Black Tortoise in the North supported the Xuanming Heavy Water to cleanse the sword heart.
"Four Symbols Return to Origin, Creation of Heaven and Earth!"
The Chaos longsword emitted a clear and resonant sword cry that pierced through the thirty-three heavens.
Where the sword's edge pointed, the Demonic Runes on the nine bronze coffins twisted and fled like living things.
With the first sword strike, the Ancient Immortal Demon Corpse's Dao wounds suddenly burst forth with pure immortal light, and the demonic chains wrapped around its body shattered inch by inch.
With the second sword sweep, the purple thunder crystals in the Thunder Crystal Giant Dragon's spine exploded with a roar, erupting with the golden light of the Ancient Thunder Department's True God's Edict.
With the third sword slash, the demonic eyes on the Thousand-Handed Evil Buddha's Dharma form exploded one after another, and each shattered eyeball bloomed with an Eight Treasures Golden Lotus.
The Eternal Demon God let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the thirty-three Natal Demonic Stars on his demonic body simultaneously dimmed.
He frantically pounded his chest, shattering three ribs entwined with the Rebirth Mantra, and the demonic blood he spat out formed a reflection of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Void Realm: "With my demonic heart, I sacrifice to the Six Paths, summoning the Nine Netherworlds..."
Before the incantation was finished, Li Mu's sword tip had already touched the array eye of the Reincarnation reflection.
The Chaos Spirit Banner unfurled, and the scene of the Eternal Origin's birth appeared on its surface—a wisp of Innate turbid Qi, stained with Pangu's defiled blood during the initial opening of Chaos, nurtured for one hundred and eight thousand years in the Primeval Blood Sea before forming a demonic embryo!
"See your Demonic Domain's Origin!" Li Mu roared, his sword's edge stirring the Chaos Qi, forcibly pulling that wisp of Innate turbid Qi from the long river of time and space.
The scarlet color in the Eternal Demon God's demonic eyes suddenly faded, revealing a trembling wisp of Chaos azure light in its deepest part—that was his Innate Origin, not yet contaminated, at the beginning of his birth.
The Nine Demon Corpses suddenly let out sighs of relief, transforming into nine wisps of clear Qi in the Chaos Sword Light and returning to heaven and earth.
The Eternal Demon God's demonic body trembled violently in the Chaos Sword Light, and the thirty-three Natal Demonic Stars dimmed one by one, as if extinguished by some invisible force.
In his demonic eyes, the scarlet light gradually faded, replaced by a wisp of Chaos azure light, which was his purest Origin at the beginning of his birth.
"No! Impossible!" The Eternal Demon God's voice was filled with unprecedented fear and anger: "How dare you, how can you harm this venerable one's Origin!"
"Good! Good! What a Chaotic Great Dao!" The Eternal Demon God's voice echoed in the Void Realm, carrying a hint of indescribable complex emotions.
He suddenly changed the subject and turned to the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, who was quietly observing the battle, and said with hatred: "Celestial Phoenix, you are the master of the Immortal Spirit Realm.
This child, although a Legacy of the Chaotic Great Dao, his potential is already fully revealed.
If we don't kill him today while his wings are not yet fully grown, once he fully grasps the Chaos Power, even you and I may not be able to restrain him.
If not now, then when!"
"Brat, this grudge, this venerable one has noted it!"
Before he finished speaking, the Eternal Demon God spewed out Eternal Demonic Blood, which condensed into nine Blood Hell Underworld Dragons in the Void Realm.
The Underworld Dragons, entwined with broken Karma lines, crashed towards Li Mu, while his true body transformed into a wisp of black smoke and escaped into a spatial rift.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor stood in the Void Realm, her nine-colored immortal robes moving without wind, surrounded by brilliant immortal light.
Her gaze was as cold as a frosty star, falling upon Li Mu, as if it could penetrate all illusions.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor naturally would not fall for the Eternal Demon God's instigation.
However, Li Mu had only recently advanced to Mahayana, yet he had defeated the Eternal Demon God in a battle of Dao Origin.
Such a foundation could not help but move her and make her wary.
Now that the Three Realms Passage was wide open, thanks to the weakness of the Spirit Realm, the Demon Abyss and Immortal Spirit Realm were in a delicate balance.
Li Mu's rise undoubtedly added an unknown variable to this balance.
As the Legacy of the Chaotic Great Dao, once Li Mu fully awakened and mastered its power, it would be a huge impact on the entire Immortal Spirit Realm and even the pattern of the Three Realms.
As the master of the Immortal Spirit Realm, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, who presided over the order of heaven and earth, would never allow any existence that could threaten the balance of the Immortal Spirit Realm to grow.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor gently raised her jade finger, and a wisp of Nirvana True Fire leaped out from her fingertip.
The flame was initially like a bean, but in an instant, it transformed into a Fire Phoenix spreading its wings, its nine tail feathers entwined with Dao Fire of different colors.
The azure-green Azure Luan Purifying Flame, the crimson-gold Vermilion Bird Heaven-Burning Fire, the dark-purple Red Lotus Karma Fire...
Nine kinds of supreme Heaven and Earth Fires intertwined to form a heaven-burning cage, completely sealing off the hundred-zhang Void Realm around Li Mu.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know that Nirvana's Nine Revolutions require experiencing all fires?" The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor stood in the air, stepping on a fiery lotus, and the Fire Element Dao Pearl on her Phoenix Crown reflected the cracks in Li Mu's Chaotic Dao Domain: "This eighth revolution of Nirvana Fire of mine is just missing a wisp of Chaos Dao charm."
Li Mu stood holding his sword, the Chaos longsword spitting out brilliant sword light.
Where the sword's edge pointed, the Void Realm shattered inch by inch.
He looked up at the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, without the slightest fear in his eyes: "Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, you are the master of a realm, yet you resort to bullying the weak.
This is beneath your status."
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor chuckled softly, gently raising her jade hand.
Billions of divine lights bloomed from her fingertips, each containing the terrifying power to burn the heavens and boil the seas: "Status?
In this Emperor's eyes, you are nothing but an ant.
Although the Chaotic Great Dao is strong, you have not truly mastered its essence yet.
If I don't eliminate you today, you will surely become a great hidden danger in the future."
Before she finished speaking, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's nine-colored immortal robes suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, and nine kinds of Dao Fire circled around her, transforming into nine different forms of flaming Phoenixes.
Each Phoenix represented a supreme Fire Law, and when their wings spread, the Void Realm was scorched and distorted.
"Nirvana's Nine Revolutions, Burning Heaven and Boiling Seas!"
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's voice was cold and majestic.
As she spoke, the nine flaming Phoenixes flapped their wings simultaneously, transforming into nine scorching pillars of fire, rushing straight towards Li Mu.
Wherever the fire pillars passed, the Void Realm shattered, and all things turned to ashes, even the Chaos Qi was burned to nothing.
Li Mu's expression was solemn.
He quickly formed hand seals, and the Chaos longsword in his hand erupted with brilliant light.
Where the sword's edge pointed, the Chaotic Dao Domain unfolded again, with billions of Starry Sky phantoms flowing, transforming into a Star River barrier, attempting to resist this heaven-destroying and earth-shattering flame.
However, how could the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Nirvana Nine Revolutions Fire be compared to ordinary flames?
The nine fire pillars instantly pierced through the Star River barrier, pressing directly towards Li Mu's Chaos Dao Body.
The moment the flames touched his body, the cracks on his Chaos Dao Body rapidly spread, as if it could shatter at any moment.
"Chaos as the furnace, all Dao as the fire!"
Li Mu roared, and the Chaos longsword suddenly plunged into the Void Realm, its blade erupting with endless Chaos Qi.
His Chaos Dao Body at this moment transformed into a huge furnace, sucking all of the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Nine Revolutions Nirvana Fire into it.
A hint of surprise flashed in the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Using Chaos as a furnace to refine all Dao?
You do have some tricks, but unfortunately, your Dao realm is still too tender."
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor gently waved her jade hand, and the nine flaming Phoenixes simultaneously spread their wings.
Nirvana Fire, like a celestial river pouring down, instantly submerged Li Mu's Chaos furnace.
Li Mu's Chaos Dao Body trembled violently in the flames, and the cracks became more and more numerous, as if it could shatter at any moment.
However, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Using Chaos as the furnace!"
Li Mu's voice echoed in the Void Realm, and the Chaos Qi rapidly condensed, forming a brilliant Chaos Great Sun.
Within the Great Sun, Li Mu's figure was vaguely visible, as if transcending the shackles of this heaven and earth.
The Chaos Great Sun hung in the Starry Sky, its surface flowing not with scorching golden light, but with a greyish-white flame stream interwoven with myriad Dao charms.
The moment the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's nine-colored Fire Phoenix touched the Great Sun, the heaven-burning and earth-destroying Nirvana Fire, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, was decomposed by the Chaos flame stream into its most primitive Innate Fire Essence!
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's nine-colored Fire Phoenix spread its wings and let out a high cry.
Nirvana Fire, like a celestial river pouring down, completely submerged Li Mu's Chaos furnace.
Within the flames, Li Mu's Chaos Dao Body shattered inch by inch, as if it would turn to ashes in the next moment.
However, at this critical juncture, a ray of Chaos divine light suddenly burst forth from Li Mu's eyes.
"Chaos as the fire, all Dao as the fuel!"
Li Mu roared, and the Chaos Great Sun suddenly exploded, endless Chaos Qi sweeping out, transforming into a vast Chaotic Fire Domain.
Within this Fire Domain, Chaos Fire burned fiercely, as if it could burn away all Laws and order.
The moment the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Nirvana Fire collided with the Chaos Fire, an ear-piercing screeching sound was emitted, as if two completely different flames were devouring each other.
"Chaos Fire?" The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of surprise, "You can actually generate Chaos Fire from Chaos Power?"
Li Mu stood in the center of the Chaotic Fire Domain, surrounded by Chaos Fire, and countless Starry Sky phantoms were vaguely visible flowing within the flames.
He looked up at the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, his voice calm but carrying an undeniable majesty: "Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, although your Nirvana Fire is strong, it is ultimately a fire of order.
And this Chaos Fire of mine is the Origin of all Dao, the beginning of disorder.
Today, I shall let you witness the true power of Chaos!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Mu formed hand seals, and the Chaotic Fire Domain suddenly contracted, transforming into a longsword burning with Chaos Fire.
Where the sword's edge pointed, the Void Realm shattered, and even the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's nine-colored Fire Phoenix was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Li Mu slashed out with one sword, and the Chaos Fire transformed into a roaring fire Dragon, rushing straight towards the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor.
Wherever the fire Dragon passed, the Void Realm was burned into nothingness, and even the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's nine-colored immortal robes were scorched and dimmed.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor snorted coldly, gently raising her jade hand.
The nine-colored Fire Phoenix suddenly transformed into a flaming divine shield, blocking in front of her.
The Chaos Fire Dragon collided with the flaming divine shield, erupting with an earth-shattering roar.
Flames splattered, the Void Realm shattered, and the entire battlefield was submerged in scorching flames.
"Mere Chaos Fire, dares to be presumptuous in front of this Emperor?" The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's face was cold, her voice carrying a hint of panicked anger, and she sternly said: "Nirvana's Nine Revolutions, burn all Dao!"
Before she finished speaking, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor waved her jade hand, and the flaming divine shield suddenly exploded, transforming into nine flaming Phoenixes.
Each Phoenix was entwined with different Dao Fire, the Azure Luan Purifying Flame, the Vermilion Bird Heaven-Burning Fire, the Red Lotus Karma Fire...
Nine kinds of supreme Heaven and Earth Fires intertwined into a heaven-burning Fire Domain, standing against Li Mu's Chaotic Fire Domain.
The moment the two Fire Domains collided, the Void Realm completely shattered, and even time and space were distorted in these terrifying flames.
Although Li Mu's Chaos Fire was strong, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Nirvana Nine Revolutions Fire was even superior.
Nine kinds of Dao Fire intertwined into a heaven-burning net, gradually suppressing Li Mu's Chaotic Fire Domain.
"You use the Chaotic Great Dao to drive the Chaos Fire, but you have not yet reached the extreme." The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's voice carried a hint of coldness: "Today, I shall let you witness what the true Dao of Fire is!"
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor gently raised her jade hand, and the nine flaming Phoenixes suddenly merged into one, transforming into a sky-covering, nine-colored Fire Phoenix.
As the Fire Phoenix spread its wings, Nirvana Fire instantly completely submerged Li Mu's Chaotic Fire Domain.
