Star Dome Old Ancestor’s nine silver star nucleus plunged into the spatial-temporal array eye, and the trajectory of the stars suddenly shifted, stabilizing the entire formation’s spatial structure. As starlight flowed, an invisible barrier was constructed.
Following this, Star Dome Old Ancestor successively cast Blood Hell Demon God’s blood crystal and Fiery Owl Demon God’s malevolent pearl into the grand formation.
Eternal Night Demon God gritted his teeth, waved his sleeve, and the nether profound pearl fell into the array diagram. A black-as-abyss halo slowly rotated, devouring the surrounding light and condensing the Yin Qi to its extreme.
Soul Devouring Demon God, with a gloomy face, threw out his soul devouring demon mist. As the gray mist settled into the auxiliary array position, countless wails of souls immediately emanated, their resentment surging, threatening to corrode the grand formation’s spiritual core.
Mind Clarity Holy Monk immediately chanted scriptures to suppress it, with Buddhist light enveloping it, barely subduing that violent power.
Fiery Owl Demon God took a step, casting his Nine Netherworld Flame into the Yin and Yang array eye. Within the flames, a Fiery Owl shadow circled, connecting the Yin and Yang barrier between the blood god source crystal and the nether profound pearl, causing the two extreme forces to slowly begin to merge.
Formless Demon God flung out his Formless Illusory Crystal. As the crystal fell into the Earth Element array eye, the clear and transparent crystal suddenly disintegrated, transforming into thousands of illusory mountains. Each mountain bore the projection of a different world—some as vast as the primordial creation, some as scorching as a lava purgatory, some as silent as the Nine Yellow Springs. These illusory mountains layered upon layer, finally coalescing into a Formless Divine Peak that suppressed all ages, firmly stabilizing the Five Elements Foundation!
Seeing this, Azure Emperor cast the azure water li pearl, which he had taken from Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor, into the grand formation. The moment the azure water li pearl plunged into the northern array eye, the entire Starry Sky suddenly resonated with primordial tidal sounds. The precious pearl exploded into billions of water rays, actually manifesting an ancient heavenly river phantom in the Void Realm. As raging waves surged, they formed a water-fire synergy with the burning heaven phoenix flame, and within the steaming Chaos mist, Innate Dao patterns actually began to condense!
Bone Emperor Demon God took out an ancient demon bone, cast a spell to drive it, and then threw it into the grand formation. That section of bone, as white and lustrous as jade, vibrated violently, and its surface revealed dense dark-gold demonic patterns. With a vast roar that pierced through ancient and modern times, the white bone exploded into 129,600 demonic characters, precisely matching the number of the Zhou Tian, transforming into a surging river of time within the Years array eye. Within the waves, phantoms of primordial great demons floated, releasing extreme Years Power, as if connecting to ancient spatial-temporal realms!
For a time, the thirteen nine-rank divine objects throughout the entire Star Domain released extreme Law, with the Dao power of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Years, Spatial-Temporal, and Karma intertwining and rising, like a torrent from the dawn of creation, surging, rushing, intertwining, and converging.
Star Dome Old Ancestor’s hair stood on end, and he used his hands to trace mysterious trajectories with the nine silver star nucleus, as thousands of starlight burst forth from his sleeves. As that silver nucleus, which condensed the Origin of the Zhou Tian stars, plunged into the spatial-temporal array eye, the entire Void Realm suddenly revealed crisscrossing latitude and longitude lines—the Azure Dragon’s seven mansions in the east transformed into azure chains, the White Tiger Star Domain in the west condensed into Geng Metal sharp blades, the Vermilion Bird’s starlight in the south ignited blazing fire, and the Black Tortoise’s phantom in the north stirred up a towering water curtain. The power of the Four Symbols stars intertwined into a net, firmly anchoring the originally turbulent Void Realm fissures!
“Blood Fiend as the bridge, Netherworld as the guide!” Blood Hell Demon God and Eternal Night Demon God roared in unison. The scarlet blood crystal plunged into the southern blazing fire array position, instantly transforming into a river of blood that spanned the Starry Sky, with countless ferocious demonic shadows surging within its waves; the nether profound pearl, meanwhile, sank into the northern Kan water position, its pitch-black halo staining the Void Realm like ink, actually forming an inverted Nine Nether Abyss beneath the river of blood.
“Five Elements return to their positions, Yin and Yang revolve!”
Azure Emperor let out a clear cry, and the Jianmu spiritual seed suddenly erupted with brilliant azure light. Billions of Spiritual Roots spread wildly from the eastern array eye, rooting into the Void Realm like coiling dragons, intertwining with the ancient heavenly river phantom of the azure water li pearl. The azure water li pearl released extreme water power, with water nurturing wood, and the raging waves of the heavenly river were guided by the Spiritual Roots, transforming into an endlessly flowing river of vitality.
Grand Profound Sword Revered’s taijin dao sword hummed and vibrated, and the western array eye burst forth with dazzling golden light. The sword body split into thousands, with each sword shadow standing like a heavenly pillar, its sharp Qi tearing through the Void Realm, forming a rigid-yet-flexible synergy with the Jianmu Spiritual Root’s resilient vitality, as metal overcomes wood, and wood generates fire.
Feeling the oppressive golden Qi, the burning heaven phoenix flame’s intensity suddenly surged. The southern array eye transformed into a crimson purgatory, and a Fire Phoenix phantom flapped its wings and let out a long cry, with blazing flames pouring down like a waterfall, incinerating the surging Demon Abyss black mist into nothingness.
“Four Symbols set, Five Elements complete!” Star Dome Old Ancestor’s hair flew wildly, and the star disk beneath his feet rotated with a rumble, completely stabilizing the Four Symbols Star Power.
Azure Dragon chains coiled around the Jianmu Spiritual Root, White Tiger sharp blades augmented the taijin sword formation, Vermilion Bird blazing fire merged with the burning heaven phoenix flame, and Black Tortoise heavy water resonated with the azure water li pearl. The Five Elements Law cycled endlessly, and the grand formation’s Foundation was as solid as a rock!
At this moment, Blood Hell Demon God’s blood crystal and Eternal Night Demon God’s nether profound pearl finally completed their counter-impact. The scarlet blood river and the pitch-black nether abyss converged at the Yin and Yang array eye, and the Extreme Yang Evil Qi and the ultimate Yin Nether Power ground against each other like millstones, erupting into a Chaos vortex.
Fiery Owl Demon God grinned, and his Nine Netherworld Flame transformed into a sky-obscuring Fiery Owl, diving into the center of the vortex. Its wings spread wide, its left wing burning the blood river into Yang flames, and its right wing incinerating the nether abyss into Yin fire, forcibly carving out a Yin and Yang passage within the violent Chaos!
“Formless suppresses the world, Years as the anchor!”
Formless Demon God roared, and the Formless Divine Peak in the Earth Element array eye suddenly rose, with thousands of world projections overlapping. A blurry Dao shadow appeared at the peak, resembling both god and demon, pressing his hands towards the Void Realm. The entire divine peak actually devoured the scattered Four Elements aftermath around it, suppressing the violent energy beneath the mountain’s base.
At the same time, the river of time formed by Bone Emperor Demon God’s ancient demon bone surged forth. Its waves washed over the Formless Divine Peak, and 129,600 demonic characters coiled around the mountain body like chains, solidifying the ethereal world projections into real spatial-temporal realms!
The soul devouring demon mist was still churning, with resentful souls wailing within the gray mist, attempting to corrode the grand formation’s Context. Mind Clarity Holy Monk sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, with a thousand-armed Buddha appearing behind him. The Bodhi prayer beads emitted immeasurable Buddhist light, coating the soul-devouring chains with a layer of golden patterns. The wails of the resentful souls gradually subsided, instead becoming the best medium for connecting the real and the illusory within the grand formation.
Li Mu stood at the center of the array eye, his Chaos Dao Body fully manifested—his skin displayed mysterious gray Dao patterns, his hair was a chaotic reddish-gray, flowing with Chaos Qi, and his eyes transformed into rotating star swirls, his left eye giving birth to clear and pure Qi, and his right eye containing turbid and evil profound yellow.
“Chaos as the guide, all Dao return to their Origin!”
Li Mu formed hand Seals, his voice reverberating through the Starry Sky. The vast Origin Power of the thirteen nine-rank divine objects immediately converged upon him like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
In an instant, the world lost its color, the galaxy reversed, and Chaos Qi erupted from Li Mu’s body, transforming into thousands of layers of Grandmist cloud waves, enveloping the entire grand formation. The power released by the thirteen nine-rank divine objects was originally incomparably violent and mutually conflicting, but under the guidance of the Chaos Dao Body, it slowly unified, beginning to merge in an extremely mysterious way.
“Chaos as the guide, all Dao return to their Origin!” Li Mu’s eyes suddenly opened. Clear and pure Qi flowed in his left eye, evolving into a nascent Universe; turbid and evil profound yellow floated in his right eye, giving birth to a destructive abyss. Between their convergence, Chaos Power erupted, and within the core area of the entire grand formation, at the location of the two-world passage, a Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation that connected all Laws of the heavens instantly formed!
Within the array diagram, Star Dome Old Ancestor’s nine silver star nucleus transformed into the core of the stars; Blood Hell Demon God’s blood crystal and Fiery Owl Demon God’s malevolent pearl shimmered against each other; Eternal Night Demon God’s nether profound pearl exhaled Yin Qi; the soul devouring demon mist continued to surge under the suppression of Buddhist light; Fiery Owl Demon God’s Nine Netherworld Flame pierced through Yin and Yang; Mind Clarity Holy Monk’s Buddhist chants suppressed resentment; Formless Demon God’s illusory crystal constructed the Foundation of reality and illusion; Azure Emperor’s azure water li pearl invoked the power of the heavenly river; Bone Emperor Demon God’s ancient demon bone propelled the river of Years…
Soon, the vitality of the Jianmu Spiritual Root, the golden light of the taijin dao sword, the ferocity of the burning heaven phoenix flame, the profundity of the nether profound pearl, the massiveness of the Formless Divine Peak… the thirteen distinctly different Dao powers were all forcibly unified by Chaos threads at this moment.
Li Mu spread his arms, as if embracing stars and plucking the moon. The entire grand formation rumbled and vibrated in response, and thirteen towering pillars of light shot up from the array eyes, converging at the dome to form a Chaos array diagram that obscured the galaxy!
The Five Elements revolved, Yin and Yang harmonized, spatial-temporal realms intertwined, Karma entwined, Years surged, and Chaos ascended—the thirteen ultimate Dao powers were forcibly unified by Li Mu’s Chaos Dao Body, refined into a Chaos Seal gate that connected the two realms!
“Rise!”
Li Mu roared, his hands suddenly clasped together, and the entire grand formation resonated in response. Billions of Chaos chains condensed from the Void Realm, like ancient Chaos giant dragons, roaring as they shot deep into the two-world passage!
Finally, the entire grand formation completely transformed into a Chaos crystal wall spanning the two realms. The Origin Dao patterns of the thirteen divine objects floated on the surface of the crystal wall, completely sealing the Demon Abyss Channel!
“Rumble—” Thunderous vibrations echoed throughout the entire Star Domain, as if the heavens and earth were wailing. Countless roars and angry shouts came from the other side of the Demon Abyss Channel; those were the unwilling roars of the Netherworld’s will, its frantic attempts to impact the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation.
But the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation had already formed!
Li Mu stood at the center of the array eye, bathed in Chaos divine light, like the Lord of Chaos, overlooking the Starry Sky. He took a step, and his figure surged. Three thousand Great Dao phantoms appeared behind him, each strand of hair transforming into a Law chain, connecting to the thirteen divine objects, controlling the fate of the entire grand formation!
“Chaotic Boundary Sealing, never to be broken!”
Li Mu seemed to be the Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao’s will.
As the last Chaos chain completed its closure, the two-world passage was completely sealed by Chaos Power, and not a single trace of power could penetrate from the end of the Demon Abyss Channel to this realm.
Beneath the Starry Sky, the wind stopped, the thunder ceased, and the world fell into an unprecedented tranquility.
As the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation completely closed, the entire Star Domain seemed to undergo an unprecedented transformation. The originally restless Void Realm fissures were firmly suppressed by Chaos Power, and the roars from the other side of the Demon Abyss gradually weakened until they completely fell silent.
The existence that had plagued the extreme realm powerhouses like a nightmare completely vanished. The expressions of the extreme realm powerhouses and the seven Demon Gods all relaxed in unison.
With the Demon Abyss Channel sealed and the Netherworld’s will isolated, the gloom that had weighed on everyone’s hearts finally dissipated. The seven Demon Gods and five extreme realm powerhouses all felt that the turbulent malevolent poison within their bodies had calmed, no longer corroding their Divine Soul, and no longer inciting Heart Demons.
Blood Hell Demon God looked down at the old wound on his chest that had been corroded by the malevolent poison. His Demon God body was rapidly recovering, needing only to completely expel and purify the malevolent poison.
“Satisfying!” Blood Hell Demon God laughed loudly, his voice like thunder shaking the Starry Sky. He looked at Li Mu and said, “Little Friend Li, this cooperation has made this venerable one change his view of your Human Race Cultivators by three points!”
“When we meet again in the future! This venerable one will definitely have a good spar with you!”
Before his words faded, Blood Hell Demon God had already transformed into a blood-red rainbow, piercing through the Void Realm and vanishing in the blink of an eye.
“The Chaotic Great Dao is indeed extraordinary!” Eternal Night Demon God gave Li Mu a meaningful look, then a Nine Netherworld passage opened beneath his feet, and he too vanished.
Fiery Owl Demon God grinned, flames surged around him, and Nine Netherworld Flame condensed into a Fiery Owl shadow. As it flapped its wings, it incinerated the Void Realm, carrying him into the fire domain.
Soul Devouring Demon God gave Mind Clarity Holy Monk a sinister glance, and as gray mist churned and resentful souls wailed, his figure dissipated like smoke.
Formless Demon God said nothing, his figure twisting like water waves, thousands of phantoms overlapping, finally returning to nothingness.
Bone Emperor Demon God raised a hand and beckoned, and a river of time phantom flowed. He stepped into it, and his figure faded like a bubble.
Fiery Owl Demon God glared at Star Dome Old Ancestor, snorted coldly, and as malevolent Qi surged, he transformed into a black light and broke through the air.
The seven Demon Gods departed one after another, and tranquility returned beneath the Starry Sky.
Star Dome Old Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction where the seven Demon Gods had left, his eyes shimmering with profound light.
Azure Emperor stood beside him, his robes slightly stirring, his gaze as calm as water: “The successful sealing of the Demon Abyss Channel this time, though it resolves a temporary crisis, the Netherworld’s will has devoured the Demon Abyss, greatly increasing its power. There may be more turmoil in the future!”
“Indeed!” Star Dome Old Ancestor nodded gravely.
Mind Clarity Holy Monk clasped his hands and softly chanted a Buddhist name, a hint of fatigue showing in his brows: “Amitabha, we have all suffered considerable injuries in this battle, especially the residual malevolent poison in our bodies, which requires secluded healing. Although Fellow Daoist Li controls all Laws with his Chaos Dao Body, his individual power is ultimately limited. If he cannot cope at the Perfection realm, and there is another great battle in the future, he may not be able to shoulder the entire situation alone.”
Although the Jianmu Spiritual Root, azure water li pearl, burning heaven phoenix flame, and other thirteen nine-rank divine objects had returned to the formation, they lost significant assistance, especially during the Fusion process of the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation, where their consumption was not small. They temporarily suppressed the malevolent poison’s erosion within their bodies, but to completely purify it, a large amount of time would be needed.
With the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation complete, the extreme realm powerhouses had no intention of lingering.
Star Dome Old Ancestor waved his sleeve, and a galaxy paved his path. He stepped through the Void Realm, leaving only a single sentence: “Little Friend Li, the future of this world rests on you. Cultivate well!”
Azure Emperor lightly tapped his fingertip, conjuring a small azure boat. He leaped into it, piloting the boat to escape into the Void Realm, leaving behind a message: “Little Friend, if you need me someday, you can find me at the Eastern Extreme Emperor Palace.”
“Little Friend Li, farewell!” Grand Profound Sword Revered bid farewell to Li Mu, then ascended with his sword, cleaving through the Starry Sky and departing, leaving only the echo of his sword’s hum.
Mind Clarity Holy Monk clasped his hands, Buddhist light shone brightly, and after softly chanting a Buddhist name, he transformed into a golden rainbow and departed westward.
“Seniors, we shall meet again another day!” Li Mu smiled slightly, watching everyone depart.
After the powerhouses left, the entire Star Domain fell into a strange tranquility.
Li Mu stood alone in the Void Realm, the Chaos Qi around him slowly receding. He gazed at the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation, the Dao rhyme of the thirteen divine objects within it still circulating in his body, continuously generating Chaos Power. (End of Chapter)
