Just as the thousand-zhang immortal spiritual light blade was about to strike, a clear and melodious sword cry suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth, as if coming from beyond the Nine Heavens, piercing through the clamor and slaughter of the battlefield.
A majestic giant mountain suddenly appeared, expanding at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang tall mountain, towering into the clouds. The black mountain body resembled a giant sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, and its Sword Qi soaring into the sky.
As soon as the gigantic Sword Mountain appeared, an extremely sharp Sword Intent swept across the entire battlefield. Even Xuanxiao Immortal Ruler's Qingyu longsword trembled slightly, seemingly sensing a certain suppression.
“Boom—!”
The thousand-zhang immortal spiritual light blade struck down, heavily colliding with the dark mountain body. However, the dark Sword Mountain remained motionless, like an eternal giant peak. No matter how the immortal spiritual light blade impacted it, not even a single crack appeared on the mountain's surface.
Instead, the thousand-zhang immortal spiritual light blade let out a crisp cracking sound at the moment of impact, transforming into countless Flying Swords that flew back into the hands of the immortal spiritual Cultivators.
Xuanxiao Immortal Ruler's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected a group of defeated soldiers to be able to summon such a terrifying Sword Mountain, one that even the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation couldn't shake in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation, activate with full power!”
Upon receiving the order, tens of thousands of immortal spiritual Cultivators bit their tongues, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood, which merged into the Grand Formation. The Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation's light instantly surged, and the power of the immortal spiritual light blade increased dozens of times.
At this moment, the Sword Mountain hummed with sword cries, and countless sharp swords on its body vibrated in unison. Immediately after, sharp swords flew out from the mountain body, each sword containing Li Mu's Sword Intent, extremely sharp. In a flash, they transformed into a giant sword, fiercely colliding with the immortal spiritual light blade.
“Zheng—!”
The moment the giant sword collided with the immortal spiritual light blade, the heavens and earth seemed to fall into a brief silence. Immediately after, a deafening roar resounded through the clouds. Sword Qi and immortal spiritual power intertwined, erupting with dazzling light, like exploding stars, blinding people.
The giant sword and the immortal spiritual light blade were locked in a stalemate for a moment. Then, the giant sword suddenly vibrated violently, and the Sword Qi on its blade surged dramatically, transforming into a sword energy that pierced through the heavens and earth, forcefully splitting the immortal spiritual light blade in half!
“Crack—!”
The moment the immortal spiritual light blade shattered, the light of the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation also dimmed. Tens of thousands of immortal spiritual Cultivators all spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, their aura weak and dispirited. Xuanxiao Immortal Ruler, at the center of the Grand Formation, turned even paler, staggering backward, his Qingyu longsword shattering inch by inch.
“What?!”
Xuanxiao Immortal Ruler's eyes were filled with horror. He couldn't believe that the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation, which he had activated with all his might, was defeated so easily.
The next moment, a figure slowly flew out from behind the Sword Mountain. His robes fluttered, his Sword Intent was awe-inspiring, and endless Sword Qi revolved around his body, as if he were a drawn sharp sword, its sharpness fully revealed.
“Li Dage!” Xue'er manifested in human form and flew to Li Mu's side.
“Master!”
The Green-Eyed Golden Ape and other spirit beasts all reacted, their gazes converging on Li Mu, their eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
Li Mu's gaze swept over everyone, and he nodded slightly, “You've all worked hard. From now on, leave it to me!”
Li Mu's words made everyone present feel a sense of relief. Even the distant demon army, which had been charging madly, paused slightly the moment Li Mu appeared, as if sensing a fatal threat.
Li Mu waved his hand, taking Xue'er, Mingyue, and all the spirit beasts into his Treasure Mansion. The upcoming battle made it impossible to look after them.
“You two, since you're here, why hide?” Li Mu's voice was as cold as frost, his gaze like lightning, pointing directly at a Void Realm at the edge of the battlefield.
That Void Realm twisted slightly, and then two figures slowly emerged. One was clad in a black robe, with a sinister face and dense Devilish Qi swirling around him. The other was dressed in a white robe, with an immortal-like demeanor, and a chilling aura between his brows.
“As expected of Li Jianxian, quite sharp. However, since you've shown yourself today, don't even think about leaving alive.” The Black Vulture Demon God sneered, his voice hoarse.
“If you want to fight, then fight. Why so much nonsense!” Li Mu stood in the air, Chaos Qi circulating around him, and ten thousand Dao Artifacts floated behind him, as he said in a deep voice.
“Good! Then you can die!” A hint of killing intent flashed in the Black Vulture Demon God's eyes.
Before he finished speaking, the Black Vulture Demon God's wings suddenly unfurled, covering the sky and sun. Nine hundred and ninety-nine white bone altars appeared on his demonic wings, each altar chanting demonic incantations from different eras. One hundred and twenty-six thousand chains stretched out from the Void Realm, their ends tied with dense skull heads. The Laws of heaven and earth began to flow in reverse at this moment, and Li Mu's surrounding Sword Intent showed signs of collapsing.
“Water Marsh · Nine Abyss!”
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor stepped on Mystic Ice, and a Water Kirin Law Manifestation appeared behind him. Nine Heavenly Rivers descended from the Void Realm, each river composed of Mystic Water of different colors—indigo bone-corroding heavy water, silvery Mystic Nether True Water, and crimson blood sea weak water intertwined into a net in the air.
Facing the two's offensive, Li Mu's pupils swirled with a Chaos vortex, and his Chaos Dao Body was revealed. Myriad Swords Mountain transformed into a dark giant sword and flew into his hand. The Chaotic Dao Domain erupted from around him, and billions of wisps of gray Qi instantly swallowed the entire Starry Sky.
Li Mu held the dark giant sword, Chaos Qi swirling around its blade, as if it carried the immense power of creation. With one step, the Void Realm beneath his feet suddenly split open, and the Chaotic Dao Domain instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire battlefield.
Within the Dao Domain, heaven and earth were undivided, clear and turbid were indistinguishable, and all things returned to Chaos. Only Li Mu's Sword Intent, like the light of creation, permeated it.
“Chaotic Dao Domain, open!”
As Li Mu let out a low roar, time and space within the Chaotic Dao Domain began to twist. The Black Vulture Demon God's white bone altars and chains gradually disintegrated under the erosion of Chaos Qi, transforming into primitive Devilish Qi and dissipating. Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's nine Heavenly Rivers were also swallowed by Chaos Power, and the power of Mystic Water was decomposed into the most fundamental Water Spirit Qi, unable to condense into form again.
“Profound Heaven Sword Formation, rise!”
Li Mu's dark giant sword suddenly vibrated violently, and ten thousand Dao Artifacts emerged from the Chaotic Dao Domain. Each sword contained a different Sword Intent, some sharp, some heavy, some ethereal, some overbearing. The moment the sword formation unfolded, countless sword cries seemed to resound through the heavens and earth, and Sword Qi crisscrossed.
“Die for me!”
The Black Vulture Demon God's wings covered the sky and sun. Every feather was shedding and regenerating. The falling black feathers transformed into thousands of demonic vultures. These demons had human faces and bird bodies, chanting distorted Soul-Burying Demonic Tunes.
“I'd like to see if your Chaotic Dao Domain can withstand my Extreme Water Dao!”
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's blue Pattern on his brow glowed brightly, and the Water Kirin Law Manifestation roared towards the sky. The nine Heavenly Rivers suddenly reversed, condensing into a crystal palace in front of him. The one hundred and eight thousand water-repelling beads hanging from the eaves of the palace simultaneously exploded, and the bursting Kui Water Divine Thunder actually tore a gap in the Chaotic Dao Domain.
Facing the full-power attack of the two strong individuals, Li Mu's eyes became even more resolute. The billions of wisps of gray Qi within the Chaotic Dao Domain responded to his will, surging even more intensely.
“Chaos first opens, one sword breaks all Laws!”
Li Mu chanted softly, and the dark giant sword in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. That light transcended all colors in the world, directly reaching the Origin. The Profound Heaven Sword Formation, composed of ten thousand Dao Artifacts, seemed to have been given life. Every sword transformed into a stream of light traversing through Chaos, converging at an incredible speed into an irresistible Sword Intent.
“Clang!”
The endless Sword Intent collided with the demonic vulture's wings and the Kui Water Divine Thunder, emitting a deafening metallic symphony. Within the Chaotic Dao Domain, space and time seemed to lose their meaning, leaving only pure power in confrontation.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
Countless demonic vultures transformed into black smoke and dissipated under the strangulation of the Sword Intent. The distorted sound waves of the Soul-Burying Demonic Tune were also suppressed by the clear ringing of the Sword Qi. Feathers fell off one by one, revealing bare white bones. However, under the blessing of the Black Vulture Demon God's Extreme Demonic Domain, each demonic vulture possessed endless vitality, recovering at a visible speed.
At the same time, Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Kui Water Divine Thunder also raged within the Chaotic Dao Domain, constantly tearing at the defense of the Chaos Qi, as if it wanted to completely disintegrate the entire Chaotic Dao Domain.
Li Mu's expression showed a hint of solemnity. He reached out and beckoned into the Void Realm, and two Dao Artifacts, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and the Chaos Spirit Banner, appeared.
“Chaos Zhenyuan, all Laws return to stillness!”
Li Mu let out a low roar, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly rotated, its artifact patterns glowing brightly. A power that suppressed all things erupted from the disk, instantly enveloping the entire Chaotic Dao Domain.
The Chaotic Dao Domain trembled violently. Wherever the Chaos light passed, the demonic vulture group suddenly froze in mid-air—their demonic bodies were reverting to the most primitive Devilish Qi at a visible speed, their movements suddenly slowing down, as if bound by invisible shackles. Even their endless regenerative power was suppressed, and the sound waves of the Soul-Burying Demonic Tune gradually dissipated under the power of the Zhenyuan Disk, turning into nothingness.
“Chaos Spirit Banner, all Dao return to Origin!”
Li Mu waved his hand again, and the Chaos Spirit Banner suddenly unfurled. The Chaos Qi on the banner's surface transformed into a huge gray light pillar, shooting straight into the sky. Within the light pillar, one could vaguely see the scene of the heavens and earth's initial creation, with the clear and turbid Qi separating, and all things undergoing birth, death, and Reincarnation. As the light pillar swept across, Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Kui Water Divine Thunder, under this power, melted rapidly like ice and snow meeting the sun. Even the crystal palace was eroded by Chaos Qi, gradually disintegrating.
Seeing this, the Black Vulture Demon God and Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor each used their abilities.
The Black Vulture Demon God reached out and grabbed, and a pitch-black demonic banner appeared. Embroidered on the banner were nine ferocious demonic birds. With a wave of the demonic banner, the nine demonic birds detached from the banner, transforming into nine pitch-black demonic shadows, quickly solidifying into nine gigantic demonic birds. Each demonic bird had a different form: some had wings that covered the sky, some had three heads and six wings, and some were covered in black flames, their Devilish Qi monstrous, rushing straight towards Li Mu.
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor, on the other hand, brought out his Natal Dao Artifact—the Vast Sea Inkstone Brush. He waved the inkstone brush, and its tip traced through the Void Realm. Nine rivers poured out from the brush tip, each river containing different Water Dao Laws, some surging and powerful, some tranquil and profound, some bone-chillingly cold, and some scorching hot.
The nine rivers intertwined in the air, forming a vast Extreme Water Law Domain. Within the Law Domain, the Water Spirit Qi was extremely dense. The Water Kirin Law Manifestation roared towards the sky, and the Water Spirit Qi within the Extreme Water Law Domain rapidly condensed, forming countless Water Spirit creatures—Ice Dragons, Water Phoenix, Mystic Tortoises, and Flood Serpents. Each Water Spirit creature contained the power of the Extreme Water Dao, rushing towards Li Mu to attack.
Facing the full-power attack of the two, a hint of coldness flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He waved both hands, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and Chaos Spirit Banner once again burst forth with dazzling light. The billions of wisps of gray Qi within the Chaotic Dao Domain surged madly, transforming into countless sword lights, colliding with the Black Vulture Demon God's nine demonic birds and Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Water Spirit creatures.
“Rumble!”
Within the Chaotic Dao Domain, the aftermath of the collision of the three forces swept in all directions. The entire Star Domain trembled violently at this moment. Chaos Qi, Devilish Qi, and Water Spirit Qi intertwined, forming a chaotic energy vortex, devouring everything around it.
Li Mu's figure swayed slightly in the Chaos torrent, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. Although he temporarily suppressed the Black Vulture Demon God and Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's offensive with the Chaotic Dao Domain, facing the combined forces of two extreme strong individuals, the Chaotic Dao Domain was stretched thin. Fighting one against two, he ultimately fell into a disadvantage.
The Black Vulture Demon God's nine demonic birds continuously regenerated under the blessing of the Extreme Demonic Domain, their Devilish Qi monstrous; within Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Extreme Water Dao Domain, Water Spirit creatures emerged endlessly, and the Kui Water Divine Thunder continuously tore at the Chaotic Dao Domain.
“This can't go on…”
Li Mu was secretly anxious. If he couldn't quickly turn the tide, he would eventually be exhausted to death by the two's combined offensive.
Fighting head-on was definitely not the best strategy. Only by using their strength against them could he turn the situation around.
“Chaos Resonance!”
Li Mu suddenly clapped his hands together, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and Chaos Spirit Banner simultaneously burst forth with brilliant light. The billions of wisps of gray Qi within the Chaotic Dao Domain suddenly reversed, transforming into a giant vortex, sweeping in both the Black Vulture Demon God's Law Manifestation—the nine demonic birds—and Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Water Kirin Law Manifestation.
Li Mu himself darted through the two extreme Law Domains of demonic flames and Mystic Water like a swimming fish.
The Black Vulture Demon God's pupils constricted—the attacks that pierced through Li Mu's body actually transformed into Yin and Yang twin fish under the wrapping of Chaos Qi, instead accelerating the operation speed of the Dao Domain.
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's brush strokes suddenly stopped. The nine rivers suddenly flowed uncontrollably in reverse. He was startled to find that his Extreme Water Dao was being analyzed and reorganized by the Chaotic Dao Domain. Those Ice Dragons and Water Phoenix rushing towards Li Mu quietly grew Chaos Dao patterns under their scales.
“Retreat!” The Black Vulture Demon God's demonic wings rapidly vibrated, and nine hundred and ninety-nine white bone altars simultaneously self-destructed. However, the gushing demonic blood had not yet condensed into demonic patterns before it was swept into the core of the Dao Domain by the Chaos vortex—where a Chaos sphere, a fusion of the two's killing moves, was suspended.
“Chaos Furnace, refine!”
Li Mu roared furiously. The Chaos sphere converged, emitting not destructive power, but the Chaos Origin of all rivers returning to the sea.
The Black Vulture Demon God suddenly screamed. The white bone chains on his demonic wings actually stabbed back into his own body. Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor was even more horrified to discover that the Water Spirit creatures, infected by the Chaos Dao patterns, were frantically devouring his Origin essence blood—Li Mu had actually refined their killing moves into parasitic Dao seeds!
At this moment, the Chaotic Dao Domain reached its peak. Chaos Qi surged like a tidal wave, frantically devouring the power of the Black Vulture Demon God and Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor.
The Black Vulture Demon God's demonic wings were backlashed by the white bone chains, and demonic blood gushed out, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of Chaos Qi. Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Water Spirit creatures gradually lost control under the erosion of Chaos Dao patterns, and instead began to backlash their master. (End of Chapter)
