Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The battle reached a stalemate.

Li Mu stood with his axe held horizontally, his chest heaving, the gray light on his path flickering uncertainly.

The Demon Mother stood thousands of miles away, her long hair hanging down, the human-faced fruit muttering incessantly, the axe wound on her chest mostly healed.

Li Mu's gaze narrowed slightly.

The chaotic will spread out, sweeping across the depths of the strange realm. The roots of 120,000 ancestral trees of the dyed strange realm intertwined like a net, their essence surging forth like a tide, flowing into the body of the strange mother along the strange threads. With each rebirth, the essence of dozens of ancestral trees was exhausted, turning into dust.

"Reborn ninety-nine times, thirty percent of my life force has been depleted."

A slight smile curved the corners of Li Mu's lips.

The ghostly mother's empty eyes flickered, and in a flash, she transformed into countless afterimages as she pounced on the enemy.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded. His Chaotic Dao Domain shrank to three zhang around his body, solidifying into a tangible form. His afterimage collided with the Dao Domain and shattered inch by inch.

The true form of the Demon Mother appeared behind her, her pale hand slamming down.

Li Mu sidestepped, swung his axe handle horizontally, and struck the Demon Mother in the waist and abdomen.

With a loud "bang!", the Demon Mother was instantly sent flying hundreds of miles away, her waist and abdomen collapsed, and fluid splattered everywhere. Three breaths later, the collapsed area swelled up and returned to normal.

Li Mu took a step forward unhurriedly, followed closely by raising his axe.

They pressed on relentlessly.

The Demon Mother's figure flickered, the flow of time became disordered, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and billions of demonic threads wrapped around her from all directions.

Li Mu's Chaotic Dao Domain shrank to three zhang around his body, solidifying into a tangible form. The strange silk threads collided with the Dao Domain, shattering inch by inch. The axe light tore through the sky, slashing into the left rib of the Strange Mother.

A ghastly white liquid splattered as the Demon Mother was severed at the waist, her upper body flying backward while her lower body shattered into liquid. The shattered liquid rolled back, reformed into her lower body, and rejoined her upper body.

Li Mu sheathed his axe and stood there, his gaze sweeping across the depths of the strange realm.

Of the 120,000 Dyed Ancestor Trees, three had their trunks withered and turned into dust that scattered in the air.

The Ghost Mother steadied herself, her empty eyes flickering. She looked down at her waist and abdomen, where the axe wounds had mostly healed.

"You can't kill me..."

The eerie mother murmured, her long hair falling down, and the human-faced fruit shrieked.

Li Mu remained silent, picked up his axe, and went up again.

A flash of axe light cleaved the sky, shattering the right arm of the Demon Mother. Sap splattered everywhere, and a new arm grew from the severed spot. Deep within the Demon Realm, five Demon Ancestor Trees withered and turned to dust.

The Demon Mother screamed in agony, her body swelling violently, and a surging, white light erupted, with countless demonic threads weaving into a net that descended upon Li Mu.

Li Mu unleashed his Chaos Dao Domain, unleashing a series of axe strikes that shattered the strange silk threads and pierced the chest of the Strange Mother.

With a "whoosh!", the mother of the demons' chest exploded, spraying out fluid, and she flew backwards for thousands of miles.

Li Mu sheathed his axe and stood in the void.

One by one, the shriveled and withered ancient trees turned to dust in an instant.

The Ghost Mother steadied herself, the axe wound on her chest churning with fluid, healing slowly. She glanced down, her empty eyes flickering.

Li Mu sheathed his axe and stood in the void, his gaze piercing through the eerie white light and landing on the depths of the axe wound on the chest of the Evil Mother.

The chaotic will condensed into a line, piercing through like a needle and touching the core of the Demon Mother.

There, a fist-sized, eerie crystal floated, its eerie white light solidified as if it were tangible, with faint Dao patterns forming within. Countless fine cracks spread across the crystal's surface like a spiderweb; with each rebirth, a crack healed a portion. After ninety-nine rebirths, most of the cracks had healed, the crystal's surface becoming smooth as a mirror, and the Dao patterns within becoming increasingly clear.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed.

"Are you using my axe to sharpen your path?"

Li Mu sneered, having seen through the scheme.

The Ghost Mother's empty eyes flickered, her long hair cascading down, and the human-faced fruit murmured, "You've discovered it... but it's too late..."

The core of the Mysterious Mother Crystal trembled violently, its eerie white light surged, and its mysterious patterns shone brightly. Countless twisted lines surged from the depths of the Mysterious Crystal, instantly spreading throughout the entire crystal. All the cracks healed, the surface of the Mysterious Crystal became smooth as a mirror, and the Dao patterns inside solidified as if cast in stone.

The aura of the eerie mother was rising steadily.

The demonic domain expanded a hundredfold, and the demonic white light poured down like a tidal wave, causing the void to fade and the laws of nature to crumble wherever it passed. The 120,000 Dyed Demonic Ancestral Trees trembled in unison, their essence surging forth and flowing into the Demonic Mother's body along the demonic threads.

The Demon Mother's size suddenly increased, reaching millions of feet, then tens of millions of feet.

Its head pierced the void, its torso was like a pillar supporting the sky, its limbs were like beams supporting the heavens, its long hair hung down like the Milky Way, its human-faced fruit swelled up like stars, the fruit opened its mouth and shrieked, its babbling resounded throughout the world.

The Demon Mother raised her hand, and a gigantic, pale palm blotted out the sky, with countless twisted Dao patterns flowing in her palm, before slamming down fiercely towards Li Mu.

Li Mu stood in the void, his figure as small as dust. He raised his eyes to look at the colossal hand that blotted out the sky, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Too late?"

Li Mu murmured something, and the Chaos Treasure Palace suddenly opened.

The gates of the mansion swung open, revealing a turbulent, boiling sea of ​​energy within. The seven primordial ancestral trees trembled simultaneously, their seven-colored Dao light soaring into the sky and flowing into the mansion through their roots. The eighty thousand ancestral trees trembled again, their branches surging with Dao light that flowed into the mansion through the spiritual network of their source veins. Six million Dao soldiers roared in unison, their primordial energy igniting and transforming into specks of Dao light that poured into the mansion.

The chaotic sea of ​​qi surged, and the gray, hazy light of the Dao surged.

A gray aura surged into the sky around Li Mu, surrounded by seven colors, and his aura rose steadily.

Peak of the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

Half a step towards the perfect enlightenment.

The Chaotic Dao Domain unfolded, and the gray Dao light fell like a curtain from the sky, colliding fiercely with the eerie white light.

With a deafening roar, the void shattered.

The gray and white colors intertwined and exploded, with chaotic air currents and eerie white liquid splashing everywhere.

As the giant palm of the Demon Mother slammed down, Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded. The Chaos Giant Axe condensed in his palm, its body gray and swirling with the two energies of purity and turbidity. Seven-colored Dao patterns shone brightly, and within it flowed the scene of the collapse of myriad worlds and the re-opening of chaos.

Li Mu raised his axe and brought it down.

A gray line tore through the sky, slashing towards the colossal, sky-covering hand. Wherever the axe light passed, the void solidified, time stopped, and cause and effect collapsed.

The giant hand paused in mid-air. In the next instant, cracks appeared in its palm, spreading like a spiderweb and covering the entire hand in a flash. The giant hand shattered, and a ghastly white liquid poured out like a torrential rain.

The axe's momentum remained undiminished as it slashed towards the head of the Demon Mother.

The ghost mother's empty eyes twitched, her long hair fell down, and countless ghostly threads wove into a net, blocking her way.

The axe light slashed into the web of eerie silk, shattering the silk inch by inch. The web broke, and the axe light slashed into the forehead of the Evil Mother.

With a "crack!" sound, the head of the Demon Mother shattered, spraying out a ghastly white liquid that flew thousands of miles away.

Li Mu took a step forward, his figure vanished, and the next instant he appeared in front of the Ghost Mother.

The head of the demon mother was mostly shattered, and fluid gushed out, healing rapidly. However, the gray axe mark stuck to the edge of the wound, preventing it from healing.

Li Mu raised his axe and swung it out a second time.

The axe light slashed into the mother of the demons' chest, heading straight for the demonic crystal.

The vengeful mother let out a miserable howl, clasping her hands together and gripping the axe blade tightly. Her pale hands were slashed by the axe's blade, splattering fluid, but she did not let go.

"You...can't kill me..."

The eerie mother murmured, the eerie crystal trembled violently, and the eerie white light surged, revealing the bright Dao patterns within. The gray Dao light at the edges of the wound was forced back, fluid gushed out, the head healed, and the chest healed.

Li Mu's eyes turned cold.

The Chaos Treasure Palace unleashed its devouring power, which spun along the axe blade and wrapped around the Ghost Mother's hands. The Ghost Mother's arms shattered inch by inch as the devouring power pulled her into the palace gate.

The mother screamed in agony, staggered back a thousand miles, and sap gushed from the severed arm, only for a new arm to regenerate in the blink of an eye.

"Can't be killed?"

Li Mu snorted coldly and charged forward again with his axe.

The axe flashed, cleaving through the air and piercing the Mother of Demons' chest. The demonic crystal trembled violently, its eerie white light surging, and the axe wound healed instantly. The Mother of Demons clasped her hands together, gripping the axe blade, her pale palms slashed open, splattering fluids everywhere, yet her laughter grew even more arrogant.

"Kill! Kill! The more you kill, the faster I'll wake up!"

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and his chaotic Dao Yuan surged wildly. The seven-colored Dao patterns on the axe blade shone brightly, and he stirred it forcefully. The Demon Mother's ten fingers were severed, and she flew backward for thousands of miles. Liquid gushed from the severed finger sites, and new fingers regenerated in an instant.

The ghost mother had not yet regained her footing; her long hair was hanging down, and she looked extremely disheveled.

Li Mu picked up his axe and took a step forward.

The axe flash shattered the Demon Mother's left shoulder, splattering fluids. The Demon Mother screamed in agony as her left shoulder instantly healed, her body doubling in size, and a surging, boiling white light erupted from her.

"happy!"

The wicked mother laughed wildly, and her pale, giant hand slammed down on Li Mu.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded, meeting the attack head-on with the axe light. The giant palm shattered, the Demon Mother was forced back, and a new palm regenerated from the severed spot, making him twice as fast again.

once.

three times.

Seven times.

Each time the Ghost Mother is reborn, her size doubles, her ghostly white light intensifies, and her healing speed increases. During her tenth rebirth, the axe mark touched the Ghost Crystal, causing it to tremble slightly and cracks to appear. However, in less than three breaths, the cracks healed, and the surface of the Ghost Crystal became as smooth as a mirror.

The Demon Mother stood in the void, her body tens of millions of feet tall, her head piercing through the void, her long hair hanging down like a celestial river, and her human-faced fruit swelling like a star. She laughed wildly, "Again, again!"

Li Mu stood holding an axe, his face calm amidst the flowing gray light.

The Demon Mother looked down at Li Mu, her empty eyes filled with hatred: "You kill me ten times, and I'll wake up three-tenths of the way; kill me three more times, and I'll wake up completely. What will you use to stop me then?"

Li Mu remained silent, picked up his axe, and went up again.

The axe flashed, cleaving through the air and piercing the Mother of Demons' brow. The demonic crystal trembled violently, its white light exploding, and the Mother of Demons' head shattered, splattering fluid. Three breaths later, the fluid reversed, her head regenerated, and her body swelled to twenty million feet.

"Great! Let's have some more!"

The Demon Mother laughed loudly, her pale giant hand slamming down, countless twisted Dao patterns flowing in her palm, and a waterfall of eerie white liquid pouring out.

Li Mu unfolded his Chaos Dao Domain, a hazy Dao light protecting his body. When the giant palm struck down, the Dao Domain trembled violently, and cracks appeared, but it did not collapse.

Li Mu turned around and swung his axe, slashing into the Ghost Mother's wrist.

The mother's wrist snapped off, splattering fluid, but a new hand grew from the broken wrist, and laughter continued unabated.

"Keep going! Keep going!"

The Demon Mother's figure swelled to thirty million feet, her long hair hanging down, and the human-faced fruits screamed in unison, causing the void to shatter and the turbulent currents to surge backward.

Li Mu stood holding an axe, his chest heaving, the gray light on his face flickering uncertainly.

The Demon Mother looked down at Li Mu, her empty pupils twitching, and excitedly declared, "One more time."

Li Mu raised his eyes, and a chaotic vortex of stars swirled within them.

"Then I'll send you on your way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure vanished.

The next instant, Li Mu appeared before the Ghost Mother's brow, raising the Chaos Giant Axe high above his head. The axe body was gray, flowing with both pure and turbid energies, and the seven-colored Dao patterns shone brightly. Within it, the scene of the collapse of myriad worlds and the re-opening of chaos flowed endlessly.

The axe fell.

The gray line tore through the sky, slashing into the mother of ghosts' brows, heading straight for the ghostly crystal.

The strange crystal trembled violently, its eerie white light surged, and the Dao patterns within it shone brightly. Countless twisted lines surged from the depths of the strange crystal, instantly spreading throughout the entire crystal.

The axe flash struck the strange crystal.

"Snap!" A crisp sound.

The strange crystal shattered, and cracks spread like a spider web, instantly covering the entire crystal.

The Demon Mother screamed in agony, her body trembling violently. Her massive, ten-thousand-foot-long body crumbled inch by inch, and her fluids poured out like a torrential downpour.

The demon mother opened her mouth, her empty pupils twitching.

The next moment, the strange crystal shattered, and a strange white light shot into the sky, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced straight into the depths of the void.

The body of the Demon Mother shattered, its fluids splattering everywhere and dispersing into countless specks of light.

Li Mu stood with his axe sheathed, a hazy light swirling around him, his chest heaving.

The void was deathly silent.

Light fragments scattered, and the eerie white light gradually dimmed.

suddenly.

The scattered light fragments rolled back, the shattered liquid reassembled, and the eerie white pillar of light from the depths of the void poured back in.

Light fragments converged, slurry fused, and eerie white light surged like boiling water.

A figure slowly took shape.

First came a pair of feet, firmly planted in the void, as stable as mountains. Then came the torso, long and slender as a pine tree, its skin as pale as porcelain, its surface swirling with countless twisted Dao patterns, fine as hair, winding like snakes. Its arms stretched out, its ten fingers long and slender, their tips rounded, without sharp edges or blades. The head displayed clearly defined features, its eyebrows and eyes exquisitely beautiful, its long hair cascading over its shoulders, the ends of which no longer held the human-faced fruit, but only a wisp of eerie white light.

The Demon Mother opened her eyes, revealing a pair of pale white pupils, deep as an abyss, reflecting the birth and death of countless worlds without the slightest ripple.

His body shrunk to the size of a normal person, and he stood opposite Li Mu. His body was surrounded by a strange white light that was contained within, and no pressure was leaked out. His aura was as deep and profound as an abyss.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed.

The Ghost Mother looked down at her hands; her fingers were long and slender, her skin was deathly pale, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"It's done."

The Ghost Mother raised her eyes and looked at Li Mu, her pale eyes calm as still water: "Thank you."

Li Mu stood holding an axe, his expression slightly somber.

The Ghost Mother stepped forward, her figure moving like a ghost, instantly traversing thousands of miles, landing ten feet in front of Li Mu, standing with her hands behind her back.

"You've killed me so many times, so I'll borrow your axe light to hone my Dao foundation and refine my strange crystal." The Strange Mother said calmly, "A thousand rebirths, transformations, finally perfect."

Li Mu said coldly, "You're quite the schemer."

The Ghost Mother stared at Li Mu, her pale eyes filled with calm, and said indifferently, "Without scheming, how can we break the deadlock? The Ghost Source of the Forty-Nine Regiments has been united. If it is not tempered by your hand, it will forever remain just nourishment for chaos."

Having said that, the Ghost Mother pointed a finger, and a strange white light flashed at the tip of her finger. Within the light, countless twisted Dao patterns flowed, evolving into a scene of the collapse of all worlds and the sinking of all living beings.

"Now, I have succeeded."

The Demon Mother looked at Li Mu, a smirk playing on her lips, and said mockingly, "What are you going to use to block this?"

"Is that so! Let's give it a try!" Li Mu stared at the Ghost Mother, raised the Chaos Giant Axe, and gray light flowed around it.

The Demon Mother chuckled softly, and the eerie white light at her fingertips exploded, transforming into countless fine, eerie threads that silently coiled around Li Mu.

Where the mysterious threads pass, the void remains calm and still, time flows without hindrance, and cause and effect leave no trace.

Li Mu unleashed his Chaos Dao Domain, a hazy Dao light protecting his body.

However, when the strange threads touched the Dao light, they did not shatter or explode. Instead, the strange threads, like living things, seeped into the gaps in the Dao light and wrapped around Li Mu's chaotic Dao body.

Li Mu's expression changed slightly, and his chaotic Dao Yuan surged wildly, shattering the strange silk.

The moment the strange silk shattered, it transformed into even finer, white particles that seeped into the Dao Yuan, traveled along the meridians, and eroded towards the Dao Foundation.

Li Mu grunted and took three steps back.

The Demon Mother stood still, hands behind her back, her pale eyes calm: "The Great Dao of Chaos encompasses all things, while my Demonic Path erodes the foundation. The more you encompass, the deeper I erode."

Li Mu closed his eyes and introspected. On his primordial chaos foundation, strange white particles clung like moss, slowly eroding the Dao patterns. Primordial chaos energy washed over them, but the particles remained unmoved, instead penetrating deeper and deeper. (End of Chapter)
