The residual power of the Chaos Giant Axe vibrated, and Li Mu's tiger's mouth still bled golden blood.
The main trunk of the Strange Tree cracked with a huge wound, and strange white Serum spurted out like a waterfall! Its entire massive body let out a soul-shattering wail and convulsed violently.
"Opportunity!"
Blood Slaughter Divine Lord shrieked, his blood-red rainbow soaring and directly piercing into the terrifying gap that was spewing Serum! Behind him, the sea of blood boiled, and thousands of blood shadows shrieked as they drilled in, frantically tearing and devouring the filthy Origin.
The Sword Qi River changed its course, and billions of sword lights condensed into a single line, incomparably chilling, fiercely piercing deep into the main trunk's crack! The Sword Intent twisted and killed, and the charred, carbonized wood at the edge of the crack disintegrated inch by inch like rotten wood!
The Buddha Light and Sanskrit chants intensified! Kushan Buddhist Lord's eyes were lowered, and the golden lotus beneath him spun rapidly, boundless Buddha Light transforming into tangible golden chains, layer upon layer wrapping around the main trunk's crack.
The chains bit into the charred wood, emitting a sizzling sound, and the filthy Serum, upon encountering the Buddha Light, was like boiling soup, evaporating into a sky-obscuring, foul-smelling white smoke!
The Immortal Dynasty fleet approached, and the remaining main cannons fired in unison, thick energy torrents blasting the charred root connections around the crack, exploding large chunks of filthy debris!
The Tribulation Lightning struck even faster, and thick electric Dragons fiercely pierced into that bottomless, terrifying crack! The lightning exploded within the crack, illuminating the writhing, viscous, filthy tissue inside, and a charred, foul stench permeated the Star Sea!
At the top of the Strange Tree, the pale giant eye twisted in pain, spiderweb-like strange threads almost covering the entire eyeball.
Deep within its pupil, malevolence and terror intertwined, but then it suddenly constricted!
Deep within the huge crack of the main trunk, in the core area being frantically corroded by lightning, fire, Sword Qi, the sea of blood, and Buddha Light, it was not purely filthy Serum; instead, a faint, unsettling, gelatinous—strange white—was subtly revealed!
That strange white color was extremely faint, enveloped by filth, yet it emitted a sense of dead silence even deeper than the Strange Tree itself… as if it were the end of all decay.
"Hmm?"
Li Mu's pupils constricted, his Chaotic Dao Domain sensing a completely different, chillingly desolate Origin!
Before he could examine it closely, an abrupt change occurred!
"Aoo—!!!"
The Strange Tree let out one last roar, no longer a mere wail, but a shriek with a bizarre sacrificial meaning! Its entire massive body, along with the giant eye at the top, suddenly contracted inward!
From billions of holes, the remnant Divine Souls of the Deva Race gushed out! The main trunk, roots, all charred and carbonized parts, along with the flowing filthy Serum, were instantly ignited by an extremely pale flame!
The flame had no temperature, yet it brought extreme decay; it was burning its last remnant body and Origin!
At the core, that trace of strange white suddenly blazed brightly! An invisible, desolate ripple, as if capable of freezing time, silently spread out at a speed exceeding light!
Wherever the ripple passed, the streaking energy beams solidified, the burning remnants instantly extinguished, the churning sea of blood became sluggish, the rushing Sword Qi River's speed plummeted, and the brilliant Buddha Light seemed to be covered in dust and dimmed!
Even the violent Tribulation Lightning that pierced through the crack had its dazzling lightning tainted with a layer of twilight gray!
The entire vast battlefield, once noisy, boiling, and overflowing with violent energy, seemed to have been put on slow motion, or as if it had aged billions of years in an instant, falling into a bizarre and suffocating decay!
Only Li Mu's surrounding Chaotic Dao Domain still glowed faintly, but it also seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, the speed of its light flow visibly slowing down.
Li Mu stared intently at the blazing strange white in the contracting core, his Chaos Giant Axe humming and trembling, its blade emitting Chaos Qi, desperately resisting the invisible and intangible yet all-corroding desolate ripple!
The desolate ripple swept through!
Blood Slaughter Divine Lord bore the brunt.
The blood-red rainbow that had pierced into the crack suddenly solidified, the churning sea of blood around him instantly froze, and thousands of blood shadows silently vanished! The Divine Lord's Dao body shook violently, his protective Divine Qi shattered inch by inch, his face covered in Death Qi, and he grunted as he retreated, the remaining sea of blood desperately protecting him, his aura rapidly weakening, clearly exerting all his strength to suppress the invading desolate strange power.
"Zheng—!"
The Sword Cultivator Ancestor's Sword Qi River's momentum suddenly slowed, his sharp Sword Intent seemed covered in dust, and the light at the front of the Sword River rapidly dimmed.
The Old Ancestor's Sword Domain shook violently, his protective Sword Qi dispersed, his hair bristled, and a mouthful of vital blood spurted onto the sword box in front of him, forcibly stabilizing the core.
But a gray, strange power had already entwined his right arm, and the arm instantly withered! A fierce glint flashed in the Old Ancestor's eyes, and his left hand, forming a sword-finger, unhesitatingly chopped down, his severed arm turning to dust in the ripple!
"Om—!"
The golden lotus beneath Kushan Buddhist Lord trembled violently, the boundless Buddha Light suddenly darkened and became turbid, and the Sanskrit chains broke and dissolved inch by inch.
The protective Buddha Light of the Buddhist Disciples behind him shattered, and large portions of their aura instantly vanished, only the remaining Elder's golden body showed cracks, and his Buddha Power rapidly declined.
The Buddha Lord opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting gray and white, and the golden lotus beneath him withered.
He softly chanted a Buddhist name, his surrounding Buddhist Domain rapidly contracted, blood overflow from the corner of his mouth, as he strenuously maintained his last Buddhist heart.
The remaining Immortal Dynasty fleet lost all its light, their hulls covered in a pale, gray haze.
The surviving Cultivators seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, and the entire flank of the battlefield fell into a deadly stillness.
The main trunk writhed frantically, and the crack rapidly closed as it was devoured! Large sections of the charred, carbonized outer shell peeled off, revealing new, pale, wax-like wood underneath that was still writhing!
The entire giant tree twisted, compressed, and reshaped!
"Aoo—!!!"
An inhuman shriek exploded from the tree's core! The incomparably massive Strange Tree trunk burst open with a roar! Splintered wood and filthy Serum sprayed out like a waterfall, sweeping in all directions!
At the center of the explosion, a thirty-foot figure stepped on the wreckage and stood up defiantly!
Its entire body was strange white, its skin like solidified corpse wax, flowing with viscous, glowing Serum.
Its muscles were gnarled, covered in twisted dark patterns, emitting a bone-chilling, icy dead silence! Its head was hairless, its features blurred, only in the depths of its hollow eye sockets did two clusters of pale flames flicker, as if capable of burning through the Void Realm!
Its mere existence caused the surrounding space to groan under the unbearable burden, and fragments of Law peeled off and vanished like rotten wood! That terrifying pressure, purely from the end of decay, instantly overwhelmed the entire battlefield!
"Crack!"
The Tribulation Lightning, formed by the Heavenly Dao will of the Immortal Domain, condensed into a thirty-thousand-foot lightning Dragon and fiercely struck down.
The lightning Dragon roared, carrying the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, tearing through the Starry Sky! The thirty-thousand-foot electric light was dazzling, instantly engulfing the pale figure!
The Strange God did not retreat.
Its hollow eye sockets locked onto the lightning Dragon, and the pale flames surged! Its left arm lifted, its strange claw like a hook, directly grasping the lightning Dragon's head!
"Hiss—!"
An ear-splitting sound of annihilation exploded! Violent lightning snakes twisted and bit frantically on the pale strange claw, but it remained motionless! Between the fingers of the strange claw, viscous Serum flowed, stubbornly resisting the lightning's destruction!
The palm suddenly closed!
"Puff!"
The head of the thirty-thousand-foot lightning Dragon was crushed by the pale strange claw! The dazzling lightning, like shattered glass, cracked and splattered inch by inch under the strange claw's tight grip!
Destructive lightning energy ran wild! Billions of scattered lightning snakes frantically darted and wailed between the strange claw's crevices, unable to break free from the corpse-wax-like clamp!
The strange claw flicked! The shattered lightning was fiercely hurled into the distance! A huge stellar remnant silently exploded, turning into dust!
The Strange God's right arm simultaneously swept out, its pale arm sweeping across the Void Realm! The remaining lightning Dragon's body was forcefully struck! The tough lightning body broke like rotten wood, and the massive Dragon body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into scattered arcs of electricity, sizzling, and finally completely extinguishing and dissipating!
In the Starry Sky, only the pale figure remained suspended amidst the shattered lightning remnants.
Its strange claw slightly opened, and residual electric arcs leaped between its fingers, vanishing in an instant.
Its head turned slightly, and the pale flames in its eye sockets silently locked onto Li Mu in the distance.
A silent dead silence instantly crushed the entire Star Domain.
The battlefield solidified, Laws silently disintegrated and peeled off around it, space seemed like fragile glass, groaning under the unbearable burden, and nearby stellar fragments trembled slightly.
The Heavenly Dao Tribulation Cloud, its flow seemed to halt, and the condensed starlight twisted erratically.
"Chaos Cultivator, die!"
The Strange God's figure blurred, only an afterimage remained in place, and the next instant it had pounced in front of Li Mu! The Chaos Treasure Mansion above Li Mu's head hummed, and the Chaos Qi in his right hand's giant axe surged, defiantly meeting the attack!
Boom!
A tremendous force exploded, and Li Mu flew backward like a meteor, shattering thousands of miles of the Void Realm!
"Teacher!"
The three thousand Disciples' faces changed drastically, filled with disbelief, they couldn't believe that their teacher, whom they worshipped like a god, couldn't withstand a single blow from this terrifying monster.
Li Mu shattered thousands of miles of the Void Realm, his body tumbling, the light of the Chaos Treasure Mansion flickering violently.
He forcibly halted his retreat, and spiderweb cracks exploded in the Void Realm beneath his feet.
"Om—!"
The core of the Chaos Treasure Mansion suddenly lit up! The mansion gate opened, and the phantom of an ancient tree entwined with Chaos Qi roared open! Its branches and leaves were gnarled, and Dao rhyme flowed, it was precisely Li Mu's Chaotic Dao Tree!
"Receive!"
Li Mu roared! The three thousand branches and leaves of the Chaotic Dao Tree trembled simultaneously! On the battlefield, the three thousand Disciples' bodies shook violently! The Origin Dao Seeds they Cultivated within them were instantly activated, transforming into three thousand streams of light of various colors, breaking free from their bodies, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, frantically rushing towards that Chaotic Dao Tree!
"Ugh!" The Disciples cried out as a sense of weakness from their power being drained washed over them, but no one resisted, their eyes filled only with determination!
As the three thousand Dao Seed torrents merged, the Chaotic Dao Tree's light surged! Its branches and leaves grew and expanded frantically! Vast Chaos Qi, like a boiling Star Sea, erupted from the Dao Tree, instantly enveloping Li Mu!
Li Mu's body blurred and grew taller within the sea of Chaos Qi! Chaos Qi swirled beneath his skin, and his muscles and bones emitted thunderous explosions! A more primitive, violent aura erupted with a roar!
The Strange God's figure had arrived, its pale strange claw tearing through space, carrying the final dead silence, grabbing down, and wherever the claw wind passed, even the Chaos Qi was corroded with a sizzling sound!
"Roar!"
Within the Chaos Qi, an inhuman roar exploded! A massive arm covered in Chaos scales and entwined with primitive Dao patterns suddenly reached out! Its five fingers spread wide, and Chaos Qi condensed into a destructive vortex in its palm, fiercely meeting the incoming pale strange claw!
"Bang—!!!"
An extremely muffled impact! The Chaos vortex and the pale Pulp Light violently clashed and annihilated each other! The impact instantly tore a huge void hole in the entire Void Realm!
Stalemate! Chaos arm scales flew off, and Dao patterns flickered! The corpse-wax skin on the strange claw cracked, and viscous Serum splattered! Two completely opposite destructive forces frantically wrestled, and the ripples of annihilation caused even distant stars to deviate from their orbits!
"Crack!"
The stalemate broke in an instant! The Chaos arm suddenly twisted! The vortex in its palm suddenly reversed, erupting with terrifying devouring and crushing power! Large sections of pale Pulp Light on the strange claw were forcibly torn and devoured!
The flames in the Strange God's hollow eye sockets flickered! Its left claw shot out like lightning, directly piercing towards Li Mu's body, which was enveloped in Chaos Qi!
"Get lost!"
Within the Chaos Qi, Li Mu's roar had a metallic, grinding quality! Another giant arm, also covered in Chaos scales, blasted out! Its fist condensed into a point of extreme Chaos black light, not dodging, defiantly clashing with the Strange God's incoming left claw!
"Dong—!!!"
Double fists clashed! The ultimate collision of pure Physical Body and power! No fancy moves, only destruction, the space at the collision point completely transformed into void Chaos!
Violent energy turbulence, like billions of sharp blades, shot out frantically in all directions!
"Boom—!"
The energy turbulence exploded! Li Mu's Chaos scales cracked, his fist was bloody and mangled, revealing stark white bone! The Strange God's left claw also shook violently, its corpse-wax skin rolled back, and viscous Serum splattered!
The shockwave violently pushed them apart!
Li Mu's chest ached terribly, blood overflow from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fiercely menacing, the phantom of the Chaotic Dao Tree behind him surged, its roots like billions of Chaos giant pythons, suddenly piercing into the Void Realm beneath his feet!
Om—!
The Void Realm trembled, and the Strange God's Dao Domain manifested! A viscous, dead silent, pale swamp, with corpses floating and white bones forming mountains!
The Chaos roots defiantly plunged in! The pale swamp churned frantically, and the viscous Pulp Light corroded the roots with a sizzling sound! The Dao Tree roots were equally fierce, the Chaos Qi swirling and crushing, devouring the pale Pulp Light! The entire Strange God's Dao Domain violently shook.
"Roar!" The Strange God let out a silent shriek! The flames in its hollow eye sockets burned wildly! Its figure flickered again, its right claw tearing through space, directly striking at Li Mu's heart!
Li Mu did not retreat! The Chaos Qi Sea churned, and his arms crossed to block!
"Clang—!"
Metal clanged! The strange claw tore at the Chaos scales, sparks splattered! The scales shattered, and the claw marks were deep enough to see bone! Li Mu grunted, retreating violently with the force, the Dao Tree roots behind him frantically devouring, and the pale Pulp Light poured back like a stream!
The Strange God pursued closely! Its left claw, like a hook, grabbed at Li Mu's head! Li Mu twisted his body sharply, his giant axe slashing diagonally with the momentum of splitting the heavens!
"Rip!"
The axe blade struck the Strange God's arm! A huge gash opened in the corpse-wax skin, and viscous Serum spurted wildly! The Strange God's movement paused!
A fierce glint shot from Li Mu's eyes! The light of the Chaotic Dao Tree behind him surged! The devouring power surged! Large sections of pale Pulp Light from the Strange God's Dao Domain were forcibly extracted, transforming into a torrent that disappeared into the Dao Tree.
"Die!" The Strange God roared in fury, both arms swinging, the pale Pulp Light condensing into two world-ending death rays, blasting towards Li Mu and his Chaotic Dao Tree!
Li Mu roared, the Chaos Treasure Mansion humming, his giant axe held horizontally in front of him!
"Boom—!!!"
The death rays struck the giant axe! A destructive storm swept through, Li Mu's arm bones groaned under the unbearable burden, and the light of the Chaos Treasure Mansion rapidly dimmed!
The phantom of the Chaotic Dao Tree behind Li Mu suddenly solidified! Its roots, like billions of Chaos Divine Spears, ignored the violent energy turbulence, fiercely plunging into the viscous, dead silent Strange God's Dao Domain beneath the Strange God's feet!
"Rip—!"
It was like a hot branding iron piercing into rotten oil! The Chaos roots and the pale Pulp Light reacted violently, emitting an ear-splitting corrosive sound! The corpse-wax-like "ground" of the Strange God's Dao Domain was instantly torn and pierced!
The pale flames in the Strange God's eye sockets suddenly constricted, feeling a tremor at the Origin level for the first time! That Chaos Tree, rooted in its Dao Domain, was frantically sucking and plundering! The viscous pale Pulp Light flowed backward, forcibly extracted from the Dao Domain, transforming into streams of turbid currents, surging back along the Chaos roots towards the Dao Tree's main body!
The entire Chaotic Dao Tree trembled violently, the ancient patterns on its main trunk erupting with unprecedented light, greedily devouring the surging Strange God's Origin power! Its branches and leaves spread, and Chaos Qi erupted like a boiling tsunami, its color becoming deeper and more complex, even subtly revealing a chilling trace of pale death intent! (End of Chapter)
