"Stop them!"
Celestial Venerable Fentian roared, his voice like thunder, shattering the Void Realm!
The Strange Dao will shrieked, and the Laws rumbled, shaking the heavens! Celestial Venerable Fentian's hair stood on end, and the Dao Fire that burned the world around him suddenly surged, no longer ordinary flames, but evolving into a boiling, burning "World-Burning Fire Domain" (Extreme Fire Dao Domain)!
At the core of this World-Burning Fire Domain, Celestial Venerable Fentian transformed his body into a furnace, activating the Origin of the Dao Domain! With his palms virtually raised, the immense power of the Fire Domain instantly condensed and refined, giving birth to a dark gold divine statue flowing with destructive aura within the furnace of his palms!
"Fentian Furnace: Dark Gold Descent!"
A condensed, tangible dark gold divine light burst forth from the furnace in his palm, resembling liquid divine gold formed from the World-Burning True Flame, carrying the scorching heat and sharpness to incinerate all heavens and refine all ages, tearing through the long sky of Laws, bravely meeting the destructive dark gold storm fanned out by the White Vulture Devil God!
Boom—Crackling!
The light of annihilation engulfed the Void Realm!
The dark gold divine light condensed from the World-Burning Dao Fire violently clashed with the Demon God's pure destructive power, tearing and annihilating each other. The Fire Domain vibrated violently, and countless Dao runes shattered and reassembled.
Celestial Venerable Fentian's hair curled and scorched, a trickle of golden-red divine blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but the Battle Intent in his eyes did not diminish, but grew even more intense! That destructive storm was actually blasted open by this dark gold fire, refined from the Origin of the Extreme Fire Dao Domain, creating a gap, and the violent energy flow was diverted, not affecting Li Mu!
Almost simultaneously—
"Grand Profound: Severance!"
Grand Profound Sword Revered's ancient sword finally left its sheath!
There was no sound, only a clear, ringing hum, as if from the very beginning of the Universe.
The sword light seemed capable of severing Karma and cutting through all Laws. He moved with the sword, man and sword becoming one, transforming into a gray, hazy sword aura that tore through space and time, thrusting directly at the terrifying Demonic God Tian Ao's giant pincer that was tearing through the Void Realm and clamping towards the Treasure Mansion!
"Clang!"
The sword aura struck the core of Demonic God Tian Ao's Strange Dao, initiating a confrontation of Grand Profound Dao Laws!
The gray sword light stubbornly resisted the cold pincer tip capable of shattering stars, like a stubborn rock, and space disintegrated inch by inch, turning into a Sword Dao turbulence.
Grand Profound Sword Revered's face was as stern as ten thousand years of profound ice. The ancient sword in his hand let out a low moan of protest, and cracks even appeared on its body, but he did not retreat a single step, using his supreme Sword Intent to lock down Demonic God Tian Ao's tearing force, buying a sliver of hope for Li Mu and the Treasure Mansion!
Close behind—
"Om, Mani, Padme, Hum!"
The six-character mantra resounded throughout the Starry Sky, like a Buddhist bell and morning drum, purifying evil!
Mind Clarity Holy Monk suppressed the chilling Spiritual Void surging in his Sea of Consciousness, his clear Buddhist eyes burst forth with golden light, and his ten-thousand-year Buddhist heart erupted with unprecedented power. The Heart Lamp in his palm suddenly brightened, transforming into a "Heart Lamp Buddha Sun" illuminating the Great Thousand Worlds.
"Heart Lamp Illumination: Immeasurable Buddha Kingdom!"
The grand projection of the Buddha Kingdom constructed by Buddhist light descended with a roar, and the chanting of Sanskrit filled the air like a surging tide, unfolding purification and suppression. The Buddha Kingdom, carrying supreme compassion and Power Of Will, enveloped the Strange Dao Eternal Demon God that was frantically crashing against the barrier of the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation!
"Roar!"
The filthy flesh pillars crashed into the Buddhist light, like oil poured onto snow!
The Buddhist light and the Eternal malice fiercely clashed, emitting a piercing sound of purification. The Strange Dao Eternal Demon God's body rapidly charred, withered, and peeled, roaring in pain.
The Strange Dao Eternal Demon God struggled to break free but was firmly suppressed against the barrier by the grand Buddhist Domain, unable to move an inch.
Mind Clarity Holy Monk chanted the mantra, and the Buddhist light grew even stronger, like a diamond shackle, slowing its corrosive momentum!
"Starry Sky Chains: Withering and Slaughter!"
Star Dome Old Ancestor's beard and eyebrows bristled, and the "Zhou Tian Star Lock" formation diagram in his hand burst forth with dazzling starlight! Billions of star phantoms revolved within it, condensing into giant chains of starlight composed of star Laws.
Qingdi stood beside him, pressing his hands virtually, and vast withering and flourishing vitality surged like a river into the star chains. In an instant, the giant starlight chains revealed phantom images of gnarled ancient trees, containing the mighty power of creation and destruction, and Reincarnation!
"Go!"
Star Dome Old Ancestor and Qingdi shouted in unison!
Several giant starlight chains entwined with withering and flourishing vitality, like gigantic Starry Sky Dragons, carrying the power of confinement, decomposition, and vitality annihilation, fiercely lashed out at the Strange Dao Eternal Demon God suppressed by the Buddha Kingdom!
"Splat!" The giant chains heavily struck the filthy Strange Dao flesh pillars!
The confining power of the star Laws permeated inward, freezing its proliferative activity; the withering and flourishing vitality, like a potent corrosive agent, frantically eroded the impure life Origin.
The Strange Dao Eternal Demon God's body was lashed until flesh and blood flew everywhere, and large chunks of tissue disintegrated into ash under the power of starlight and withering and flourishing! Although its immortality stubbornly regenerated, the speed of destruction was greatly accelerated, and the pressure on the barrier sharply decreased!
On the other side of the battlefield, fierce fighting also erupted!
"Bone Prison: Soul Devouring Claw!"
"Blood Sea: God Burying Vortex!"
"Profound Fiend: Annihilation Wheel!"
Bone Emperor Demon God, Blood Hell Demon God, and Profound Fiend Demon God, these three Demon Gods, also roared, pouring out all their strength!
Bone Emperor's gigantic bone claw surged with eerie fire, transforming into a pale bone prison cage, capturing large areas of escaping Strange Dao tentacles within it. The eerie fire refined ceaselessly, and the bone claw sizzled as it was corroded, its fierce aura growing even more intense.
Blood Hell Demon God's blood sea stirred up towering waves, forming countless death vortices that pulled in, shredded, and devoured the approaching Strange Dao power. The color of the blood sea grew deeper, and chaotic aura permeated all directions.
Profound Fiend Demon God's ice and fire Devilish Qi intertwined and spun, transforming into two rapidly rotating annihilation light wheels, one red and one blue, grinding, freezing, and incinerating the incoming tentacles like millstones. A hint of struggle to maintain consciousness was mixed in his violent demonic roars.
However, the true fatal threat still came from the Strange Dao Huangwu Demon God lurking in the shadows! It was silent and imperceptible, like a maggot on a bone, completely integrated into Eternal Night Demon God's dark Domain.
On the battlefield, Celestial Venerable Fentian's rage, Grand Profound Sword Revered's determination, Mind Clarity Holy Monk's persistence, Star Dome Old Ancestor and Qingdi's solemnity, Bone Emperor and the others' ferocity, and the immense pressure Li Mu himself endured from the five-fold deadly attack... all negative emotions, shadows of despair, and desires for destruction became its sweetest nourishment!
A "Myriad Evils Poison Thorn," formless and intangible yet capable of polluting the minds of Saints and igniting Heart Demons, condensed from the essence of all evil on the battlefield. It pierced through spatial and Law barriers, carrying extreme malice and madness, silently stabbing towards Eternal Night Demon God's unguarded back and Sea of Consciousness!
This strike was unavoidable, impossible to guard against, and aimed directly at the Origin of the soul!
The last trace of self-light in Eternal Night Demon God's eyes suddenly extinguished, replaced by a dead, pure, Strange Dao white!
"Hehehehe... let's all sink together!"
A strange voice, a mix of Eternal Night's low growl and Huangwu's sharp shriek, seemed to directly resonate deep within Eternal Night Demon God's Divine Soul!
Eternal Night Demon God's dark Devilish Domain solidified under Huangwu's control, transforming into a pitch-black "Spear of Darkness" condensed from Eternal Night's Origin. This spear, combined internally and externally with the invisible "Strange Dao Giant Poison," carried the coldness of betrayal and extreme malice, fiercely stabbing towards Li Mu's back!
The five great Strange Dao Demon Gods' deadly attacks were interlinked: four entangled the various Extreme Dao experts, and one transformed a certain Demon God, launching a fatal backstab from an "ally," pushing Li Mu completely into an abyss of near-certain death.
"Alas!"
Li Mu sighed softly, his gaze as deep as an abyss, as if he had seen through the trajectory of fate, yet his figure did not waver in the slightest, like an Eternal mountain standing firm at the center of the storms of all heavens.
This sigh seemed to lament the difficulty of his current situation, and also to mourn the fall of Eternal Night Demon God.
The Spear of Darkness coming from behind had already torn through the Void Realm, carrying Huangwu's Strange Dao will and the extreme malice of Eternal Night's Origin, aimed directly at Li Mu's heart!
But at that fatal moment.
Chaos Dao Body, appeared!
In an instant, Li Mu's figure became indistinct. Two figures, sharing the same aura as his main body but carrying completely different Chaos Dao rhymes, stepped out from that hazy Chaos singularity!
Two Chaos Clones split from Li Mu's main body, and together they reached out and grabbed the Spear of Darkness with ease. Powerful Chaos Power surged into it, turning it into dust.
The Chaos Clone on the left, with a serene face as deep as an abyss, virtually held up an ancient, vast disk in mid-air. Patterns flowed on the disk, depicting the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, and the creation of heaven and earth—it was precisely the supreme treasure that suppressed the Origin Qi of all realms, the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk!
The disk trembled slightly, and invisible ripples spread. Wherever they passed, chaotic Laws, boiling energy, and even spatial rifts attempting to erode were all forcibly smoothed and stabilized!
The incoming Strange Dao tentacles and destructive aftershocks hit these ripples, like falling into a quagmire, their speed sharply reduced.
The Clone on the right, with a solemn expression like the heavens, raised a single hand, and a large banner flapped fiercely! Chaos Qi swirled on the banner's surface, as if carrying the primordial storm before creation, and runes flickered on it, connecting to the mysterious Chaos Origin—the Chaos Spirit Banner!
As the banner moved, wind arose—not ordinary wind, but the Chaos Gang-Sha wind that annihilated all Laws and decomposed matter! As the banner waved, immeasurable Chaos Qi currents surged out like enraged Dragons, sweeping up the Strange Dao attacks and Demon God breaths that had been slowed by the Zhenyuan Disk, furiously grinding, decomposing, and assimilating them, turning them into the most primitive Chaos Origin Qi!
The two great Chaos Clones, one suppressing and one dispelling, one still and one moving, cooperated seamlessly! The Chaos Zhenyuan Disk stabilized the Void Realm and secured the Universe; the Chaos Spirit Banner stirred Chaos and annihilated all Laws!
The Domain formed by the two great Chaos Magical Artifacts together forcefully opened up a relatively stable "Chaos Pure Land" amidst the overwhelming torrent of attacks, firmly protecting Li Mu's main body and the Chaos Treasure Mansion in the center.
The invisible ripples of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and the Gang-Sha wind of the Chaos Spirit Banner intertwined to form an absolute Domain, firmly resisting the surging torrent of attacks, creating a breathing space for Li Mu's main body in the center!
Li Mu's main body sat cross-legged at the core of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, his eyes tightly closed. The Dao rhyme around him resonated with the Treasure Mansion, emitting a deep and profound Chaos radiance. His hands formed seals, constantly changing. With each seal, the Chaos Treasure Mansion emitted a low hum, and its gate opened, transforming into a rapidly rotating Chaos vortex that devoured all things!
That vortex was deep and dark, as if connected to the end of the Demon Abyss Channel. The continuous surging power of the Strange Dao will was entirely drawn in and absorbed by the Chaos vortex that erupted from Chaos!
"Refine!"
Li Mu's main body's will resonated like a great bell within the core of the Treasure Mansion.
The Chaos Treasure Mansion glowed brightly, and the Chaos runes within it frantically circulated, like the most precise Heaven and Earth furnace, beginning to forcefully refine and obliterate the invading Strange Dao will with the power of Chaos Origin!
The Strange Dao will shrieked and struggled frantically within the vortex, and the filthy Law chains attempted to erode the inner wall of the Treasure Mansion, but they were firmly suppressed, decomposed, and assimilated by the older, more primordial Chaos Dao Laws!
On the surface of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, strange white spots occasionally appeared, only to be cleansed by the clear Chaos light, as the two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war at the microscopic level.
Li Mu's main body's face was as still as water, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his temples, clearly enduring immense mental impact and energy burden. His entire focus was immersed in controlling the Treasure Mansion and refining the Strange Dao will. The external defense was entirely entrusted to the two Chaos Clones beside him!
The Strange Dao will, sensing the massive loss of strange power, detected Li Mu's actions and let out a frantic shriek, urging on the five Strange Dao Demon Gods.
The five Strange Dao Demon Gods completely went berserk, driven by the power of the Strange Dao will, instinctively wanting to tear open the encirclement and prevent Li Mu from devouring their will Origin!
White Vulture Devil God flapped its wings wildly, stirring up hurricanes of Strange Dao white strange pigeon flocks. Each strange pigeon, each Strange Dao white feather, contained terrifying Strange Dao Origin, continuously impacting Celestial Venerable Fentian's Extreme Dao Fire Domain.
"Form the formation!"
Qingdi suddenly roared, his withering and flourishing Dao robe moving without wind. He slammed his palms together, and a Yin and Yang taiji diagram with a diameter of ten thousand zhang appeared beneath his feet—the Yang extreme was the phantom of the constantly growing Jianmu, and the Yin extreme was the black lotus of annihilation that withered all things.
Star Dome Old Ancestor immediately formed hand seals upon hearing this, and the Zhou Tian Star Lock formation diagram suddenly expanded. Three hundred and sixty-five main star positions simultaneously lit up with dazzling starlight.
"Jianmu Locks the Heavens!"
"Star Orbit Suppresses Hell!"
The Dao Domains of the two Extreme Dao experts perfectly merged. Qingdi's Jianmu roots surged, entwining with Star Dome Old Ancestor's starlight chains, weaving a giant net in the Void Realm that covered half the battlefield, completely sealing off the airspace where the five Strange Dao Demon Gods were located!
White Vulture Devil God was the first to crash into this barrier. Its wings, capable of tearing apart star rivers, struck the starlight vines, actually producing a clang of metal.
The severed ends of the vines instantly sprouted new shoots, while the parts contaminated with Strange Qi automatically fell off and turned into dust under the effect of the withering and flourishing Law. Demonic God Tian Ao's giant pincers were even more caught in the star orbit vortex; every inch it moved required crushing thousands of star phantoms, but new starlight immediately replenished from the taiji diagram.
"Fellow Daoist, when else will you act if not now?"
Star Dome Old Ancestor's white beard fluttered, and the veins on his hands, which were maintaining the formation diagram, bulged. The Yin and Yang fish eyes in the center of the taiji diagram suddenly accelerated their rotation, bursting forth with a heart-palpitating binding force.
Grand Profound Sword Revered's eyes burst forth with brilliant light, and the Grand Profound Sword Domain erupted. He used two fingers to wipe the Grand Profound ancient sword, staining it with his essence blood, pushing its Sword Intent to the extreme.
"Grand Profound Nine Tribulations! Slash!"
The blood-stained Grand Profound ancient sword let out a Dragon-like tremor, and nine bloody sword auras bloomed, slashing towards the temporarily confined joints of Demonic God Tian Ao.
Celestial Venerable Fentian seized the opportunity and suddenly withdrew the World-Burning Fire Domain. The sky-filling flames rolled back into his palm, instantly condensing into nine glazed fire pills.
"Nine Luminaries Burning Gods!" The fire pills arranged in a Big Dipper formation shot out, transforming into nine imperceptible specks of light that merged into the base of White Vulture Devil God's wings.
The next second, an explosion ten thousand times more intense than a solar flare erupted from within the Demon God's body, and dazzling white spots suddenly appeared through the Strange Dao white feathers.
Celestial Venerable Fentian's ultimate attack involved compressing the power of nine Extreme Fire Dao Domains and implanting them within the enemy's body!
Mind Clarity Holy Monk's Buddha Kingdom suddenly contracted into a sixteen-foot golden body, stepping out with lotus steps, leaving golden lotus imprints in the Void Realm. After nine steps, a Buddha subjugating demons appeared within the Buddhist Domain—"Prajna Vajra Seal!"
The golden palm, seemingly slow but transcending time and space, pressed against the Eternal Demon God's forehead. The "Swastika" (swastika) Buddhist seal in the palm spun frantically, continuously grinding the attempting-to-proliferate flesh into pulp. The power of Buddhist enlightenment contained within the Buddhist seal actually caused the Strange Dao will to experience a brief moment of confusion. (End of Chapter)
