The Netherworld power torrent descended like an ancient glacier, and the Chaos giant tree wailed and trembled!
Where its tentacles were deeply rooted, the grey-black crystal armor shattered inch by inch, and the fire of myriad Daos instantly dimmed under the impact of the filth, with refining almost coming to a halt.
Li Mu’s body shook violently, his seven Divine Souls felt as if they were pierced by billions of poisonous needles, and the light of the Chaotic Dao Seed rapidly shrunk, like a flickering candle in the wind.
Despair!
To face death!
Li Mu’s figure flashed, disappearing into the Chaos Sea, his entire being plunging into the Chaotic Dao Seed.
The pure Chaos Origin energy contracted madly, and the Chaos Sea, all of it, surged into the Chaotic Dao Seed.
Dao and human become one!
Dao and self are inseparable!
Boom—!
The Chaotic Dao Seed expanded violently, like the beating heart of a Chaos giant beast!
The entire Chaos Sea, that boundless Chaos Origin Qi, transformed into a raging Chaos torrent, surging madly into the Dao Seed!
The core of the Treasure Mansion instantly became “empty,” with only that all-devouring Chaotic Dao Seed, hanging alone before the grotesque Strange Tree.
The Dao Seed’s form underwent a drastic change!
Ancient patterns on its surface rotated and reorganized wildly, Chaos Qi swirled and steamed, transforming into a mysterious shape between a “fetus” and a “Dao Seal”!
Inside it, Li Mu’s figure was coiled, his Divine Soul will completely fused with the Dao Seed’s Origin, inseparable!
Om—!
The Dao Seed suddenly contracted to the size of a mustard seed!
The next instant, immeasurable Chaos divine light burst forth from its core!
That was not light, but a torrent of the manifestation of the three thousand Chaos Daos!
Metal and war tearing the Void Realm, green wood supporting the sky, weak water eroding the Divine Soul, Celestial Venerable Fentian divine flames, thick earth carrying the Dao… spacetime was chaotic, Karma was blurred, Yin and Yang were inverted!
All Laws, under the command of the Chaos Will, transformed into the most primitive and tyrannical power of decomposition and 吞噬, like the first ray of tribulation light that opened the heavens and earth, rushing out with a roar!
The Dao devoured the root!
The torrent of three thousand Chaos Daos ignored the external Demonic Energy and grotesque form of the Netherworld giant tree, directly piercing into the root of its existence!
They were like billions of greedy Law roots, precisely coiling around every “Dao trace” that constituted the Origin of the Netherworld Will.
The “Decaying Life” Netherworld Origin was crushed and stripped of its evil intent by the combined force of the “Wood” Dao of vitality and the “Death” Dao of annihilation, transforming into pure life Origin essence, which was instantly devoured by the Chaos torrent!
The void that “devoured spirituality” was inversely filled and neutralized by the “Space” and “Void” Daos, its devouring characteristic disassembled into spatial Dao pattern fragments and integrated into Chaos!
The core hatred of “Despair Flames” was forcibly incinerated by the “Fire” and “Mind” Daos, and the pure true meaning of incineration was stripped and absorbed.
…
Chaos Origin erupted!
The pure Law fragments and Origin essence, decomposed and stripped by the Three Thousand Great Daos, formed an unprecedented “Origin frenzy,” rolling back into the mysterious form transformed by the Chaotic Dao Seed.
The Dao Seed devoured greedily, and the Chaos patterns on its surface grew and evolved wildly like living things, becoming deeper and more profound, and an aura of “Self-Dao Origin” that transcended myriad Daos and was supreme erupted with a roar!
The Netherworld Will Tree let out a heart-wrenching shriek!
It frantically extracted the Netherworld power Origin from the Demon Abyss Channel, attempting to fill the “void” where its Dao Foundation root was dug out, but the surging filthy Demonic Energy, upon contact with the decomposing torrent of the three thousand Chaos Daos, was disassembled and plundered even faster, like residual snow meeting the scorching sun!
The Netherworld-white pus constituting the tree body rapidly withered, billions of tentacles shriveled and curled up, and the wailing Netherworld Origin fruits on the treetop dimmed and shriveled one after another!
The Chaotic Dao Seed pulsed continuously, each contraction and expansion devouring massive amounts of Origin essence.
The pressure it emitted made the entire Chaos Treasure Mansion boundary wall groan as if about to shatter, and deep within its mysterious form, a new, incomparably domineering power was being nurtured and formed!
“Crack!”
A crisp cracking sound, exceptionally harsh amidst the roar of Law annihilation!
On the mysterious outer shell of the Chaotic Dao Seed, which was between a “fetus” and a “Dao Seal” and had devoured massive amounts of Origin essence, a deep crack suddenly burst open!
From the crack, billions of extremely condensed Chaos roots spewed forth!
These roots were chaotic in color, yet faintly revealed the divine light of myriad Daos such as gold, green, black, crimson, and yellow, and each root was imprinted with extremely complex primitive Dao patterns!
Deeply rooted!
As soon as the billions of Chaos roots appeared, they ignored spatial obstruction and the filthy Demonic Energy barrier of the Netherworld giant tree’s death throes, like ancient Vicious Beasts smelling blood, carrying the ferocity of tearing apart myriad Daos, they fiercely plunged into the withering Netherworld Will Tree!
“Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!”
The roots entered the body!
They did not entwine, but pierced through, deeply plunging into the Netherworld-white trunk of the Strange Tree, which was flowing with viscous pus, into its shriveled and curled billions of tentacles, and into the shriveled and dimmed “Netherworld Origin fruits” on the treetop!
Devouring Dao for nourishment!
The instant they plunged in, the Dao patterns on the Chaos roots suddenly lit up!
Each root corresponded to one or several Chaos Dao’s power of decomposition and devouring!
Wood roots: pierced through the remnants of “Decaying Life” Netherworld Origin, vitality and annihilation Dao patterns circulated, crushing and purifying the remaining decaying Laws, transforming them into pure life Origin, which was frantically pumped back to the Chaotic Dao Seed along the roots!
Space/Void roots: pierced into the remaining folds of the “devouring spirituality” void, Dao patterns flickered, disassembling and smoothing its structure, transforming it into pure spatial Dao Law fragments, integrating into Chaos!
Fire/Mind roots: plunged into the dried core of “Despair Flames,” the true meaning of incineration erupted, completely refining the last trace of hatred residue, extracting the most refined essence of incineration Law, nourishing the Dao Seed!
Metal roots: tore through the main trunk of the Strange Tree, sharp Dao patterns cut and disintegrated the Netherworld Law chains forming the tree body, forcibly stripping and assimilating their fragments!
Earth roots: plunged deep into the filthy torrent surging from the Demon Abyss Channel, thick Dao patterns suppressed and decomposed, filtering out the complex but vast energy Origin contained within.
…
Three Thousand Great Daos, three thousand roots, myriad Laws return to Chaos, nourishing the Chaos Tree.
The Dao Tree sprouts!
Massive amounts of decomposed and purified Netherworld Origin, Law fragments, pure energy, and Dao Law essence, continuously poured into the cracked Chaotic Dao Seed through billions of roots!
“Boom—!”
The Dao Seed’s outer shell completely shattered!
An indescribable “sapling” roared out from the core of the shattered Dao Seed!
The main trunk of this sapling was like Chaos divine gold, flowing with deep, domineering Chaos essence, and its surface was composed of billions of intricate Chaos Dao patterns that constantly emerged and evolved!
At the top of the sapling, branches and leaves gradually grew, spewing three thousand Chaos divine lights, each divine light representing a nascent form of a Chaotic Great Dao that was being nurtured and growing!
The Chaos sapling grew wildly at a visible speed!
The main trunk expanded, and the roots also became thicker and deeper, and the power of Dao devouring surged.
The Netherworld Will Tree became its sole source of nourishment!
Where the roots pierced through, the Netherworld-white pus completely dried up, the tentacles turned into flying ash, and the Netherworld Origin fruits exploded one after another, turning into their last Origin to be sucked dry!
The Netherworld Law 脈絡 that constituted the tree body was forcibly disassembled, devoured, and melted by the Dao patterns on the Chaos roots!
The filthy torrent pouring back from the Demon Abyss Channel became the “soil” that nourished the roots, being decomposed, filtered, and absorbed by the earth, water, devouring… and other Dao patterns on the roots!
As more and more Netherworld Origin was devoured, the Chaos Dao patterns on the main trunk of the Chaos Dao Tree began to undergo astonishing changes:
Some Dao patterns absorbed the reversed life Origin of “Decaying Life,” becoming agile and resilient, faintly flowing with verdant vitality;
Some Dao patterns fused with the spatial Dao Law fragments of “devouring spirituality,” becoming deeper and more unpredictable, as if containing endless Void Realm;
Some Dao patterns absorbed the true essence of incineration from “Despair Flames,” their fierce and domineering intent surged, and the edges even ignited with a void Chaos Dao Fire;
…
The Dao patterns in the core area of the main trunk evolved wildly, intertwining into complex and profound “Self-Dao Origin” core Dao patterns, emitting an absolute will that commanded myriad Daos and fused into one!
Under the savage devouring of the Chaos Dao Tree, the Netherworld Will Tree could no longer sustain itself!
The pale white trunk was covered in cracks, letting out a final unwilling shriek, and then collapsed with a roar!
Billions of fragments had not yet dispersed when they were instantly entwined, enveloped, decomposed, and absorbed by the hungry Chaos roots below!
Not a single trace of residue was left!
The core of the Chaos Treasure Mansion was completely purged of filth!
Only a nascent Chaos Dao Tree stood tall, quietly rooted in the Void Realm, its roots deeply piercing into the torrent of Netherworld power surging from the Demon Abyss Channel, like a Chaos green lotus rooted in a turbid swamp, devouring and absorbing like a whale, growing wildly!
On its main trunk, myriad Chaos divine lights circulated, Dao patterns emerged and extinguished ceaselessly, and a nascent, yet sufficient to make myriad Daos bow, “Self-Dao Origin” pressure permeated, suppressing the entire Treasure Mansion!
Outside the Chaos Treasure Mansion, the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation vibrated violently, and the thirteen nine-rank divine objects serving as array eyes, their light flashed wildly, and the vast Origin contained within them surged out uncontrollably, transforming into thirteen brilliant torrents, forcibly drawn by the nascent Chaos Dao Tree sapling within the Treasure Mansion!
“Om—!”
The divine objects wailed, their luster dimming and disappearing at a visible speed!
The array curtain, which had been supported for hundreds of years, was like a skin without a skeleton, fluctuating violently for a few breaths, then, with a “pop,” it completely disintegrated and vanished into nothingness!
The Sealing Boundary Grand Formation was broken! The Dao Tree appeared!
The moment the Grand Formation dissipated, an indescribable pressure, like an ancient Vicious Beast awakening, swept out with a roar!
The powerful cultivators of the extreme Dao were caught off guard, all grunted in unison, their protective divine light, Dao Fire, Buddha light, and sea of blood around them swayed violently, forced back several thousand miles!
Their gazes, piercing through the now unobstructed Void Realm, were fixed on the core of the Chaos Treasure Mansion.
The scene inside the mansion shook the hearts of all beings!
Where was the Chaos Sea? Where was the filthy Strange Tree?
Only a small Chaos Dao Tree sapling was seen, standing majestically!
Its main trunk was like Chaos divine gold, flowing with deep, cold, and domineering Chaos essence, and billions of intricate Chaos Dao patterns emerged and circulated on its surface, revealing a supreme will that commanded myriad Daos and fused into one!
Billions of thick, gnarled Chaos roots, shimmering with divine light of various Dao patterns, like greedy ancient evil Dragons, deeply plunged into the channel connecting the Demon Abyss Channel!
The filthy Netherworld power torrent surging out from the channel was no longer a source of disaster, but instead became the “fertile soil” that nourished this Dao Tree!
Above the roots, metal and war Dao patterns flickered, tearing apart the Netherworld power barrier; thick earth Dao patterns circulated, suppressing and decomposing complex energy; weak water Dao patterns permeated, absorbing pure Origin; and devouring Dao patterns lit up, devouring like a black hole!
The Demon Abyss Netherworld power was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, forcibly drawn into the roots, not a single trace could escape or leak out!
At the top of the Dao Tree, three thousand Chaos divine lights spewed forth, each representing a nascent form of a Great Dao that was growing wildly!
Wherever the divine light swept, the Void Realm solidified and submitted!
The pressure emanating from it was ancient, profound, and carried a nascent dominance, making Celestial Venerable Fentian’s Dao Fire bow low, and the sword hum of the great mystery ancient sword carry a hint of reverence!
Devouring Dao for nourishment!
“Hiss—!”
Celestial Venerable Fentian gasped, his Dao Fire almost out of control.
He stared intently at the roots devouring the Demon Abyss Netherworld power, his voice filled with unbelievable shock: “Refining the Netherworld as a Foundation is already Heaven-Defying… He is actually ‘devouring Dao’! Using Netherworld Dao Origin as nourishment to nourish his own Chaotic Great Dao!”
The great mystery ancient sword held by Grand Profound Sword Revered let out an unprecedented clear and long hum, trembling ceaselessly, and the accumulated Sword Intent actually resonated faintly with the commanding will emanating from the Chaos Dao Tree!
His eyes flared with sharp light, almost piercing through the Void Realm: “Good! What a Chaos Dao Tree! Breaking free from shackles, devouring the Netherworld to prove the Dao! If this Dao succeeds, it will open a new era for all eternity!”
Emperor Qing’s tightly furrowed brows did not relax, but instead deepened with solemnity.
He looked at the frantically devouring roots and the Demon Abyss Channel: “How vast is the Netherworld’s Origin? With such a whale-like devouring, can the Dao Tree’s Foundation withstand it? And the other end of the Netherworld, how can it sit by and watch?”
Mind Clarity Holy Monk’s lamp Buddha light shone brightly in his palm, desperately purifying the invisible desperate shriek emanating from the Netherworld Will as it was devoured and refined.
His clear eyes pierced through the Chaos, filled with deep emotion: “Amitabha! Li Shi Zhu’s act of devouring the Dao is an immeasurable Karma, and also an immeasurable tribulation!”
Star Dome Old Ancestor’s face showed surprise, looking at the increasingly powerful Dao Tree sapling, his voice dry: “The battle of the Great Dao, victory or defeat depends on this one move! Dao Friend Li, the Great Dao is finally complete!”
“Jie jie jie jie!!”
The ghostly fire in Bone Emperor Demon God’s eye sockets danced wildly, almost leaping out of his eyes.
He greedily “sniffed” the purified Netherworld Dao Origin aura that emanated, letting out a maniacal laugh: “Devouring Dao! Devouring well! Swallow all those dirty things! Refine them! This is power! Power that transcends all shackles! Food… Food has become the hunter! Hahaha!”
The sea of blood around Blood Hell Demon God surged and roared, his crimson eyes stared intently at the Dao Tree, filled with extreme craving and a hint of unspeakable fear: “Chaos… Is this the great power of Chaos? Devouring myriad Daos, returning to one! I… must obtain it! Absolutely must!”
In the hearts of the strong, a terrifying thought was incredibly clear: the Netherworld Will, that terrifying existence that had eroded a great world, was now like falling into an inescapable swamp trap!
The world-destroying Netherworld power it poured out was no longer a weapon of destruction, but instead became the nourishment for the enemy’s vigorous growth!
The channel connecting the two realms was no longer its bridge of invasion, but instead became the conduit for the other party to extract its Origin!
It wanted to cut it off, but found that the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree were already like maggots on bones, deeply rooted in the channel Laws, forcibly maintaining this “nourishment” channel!
The Netherworld Will, this invader that had eroded countless realms, had now become the hunted, the devoured object!
This Chaos Treasure Mansion, this nascent Dao Tree, had already transformed into an insatiably greedy “Dao-devouring cage”!
The Chaos Dao Tree quietly rooted in the Void Realm, its roots like Dragons, devouring ceaselessly, the Dao patterns on its trunk flickering and circulating amidst billions of divine lights, each flicker becoming more complex and profound, and the “Self-Dao Origin” pressure it emitted grew stronger.
