Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The axe flashed, splitting the sky, and struck directly at the Lord of the Netherworld Fiend Sect.

The Netherworld Lord's expression changed drastically, death energy surged, the White Bone Throne rose into the air, and countless illusory corpses shrieked as they surged out from beneath the throne, rushing towards Li Mu.

"Stop him!"

With a fierce shout, the Lord of the Netherworld transformed into a beam of light and fled swiftly towards the location of Taichu and Tianshi.

The throne of bones shattered, and countless phantom images of corpses surged forth like a tidal wave. The corpses piled up layer upon layer, covering the sky and sealing off the entire void. Some wielded bone knives to slash, some opened their mouths to tear and bite, and some self-destructed, with death energy surging like an inky tide.

Li Mu snorted coldly, and the Chaos Dao Domain unfolded.

The hazy light of the Dao protected the body. The illusory corpses that touched the light crumbled inch by inch, turning into death energy and dissipating. The bone knife shattered, the corpses exploded, and the death energy burst. However, the Chaos Dao Domain remained completely unmoved.

Li Mu raised his axe, took a step forward, and transformed into a gray line, piercing through the raging tide of corpses and chasing after the Netherworld Dao Master.

The Netherworld Dao Master sensed the situation behind him, his face turned deathly pale, death energy surged, he formed hand seals, burned his source energy, his escape speed increased dramatically, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, covering tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

Li Mu's chaotic will locked onto its aura and relentlessly pursued it.

The two chased and fled, traversing the void.

Wherever it passed, the void shattered and turbulent currents surged backward.

The Lord of the Netherworld roared, "Lord of Chaos, are you determined to exterminate us all?"

Li Mu said coldly, "After besieging my Chaos Land for so many years, it's time to settle this score!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu raised his hand and brought down his axe.

The chaotic axe light tore through the sky, instantly traversing tens of thousands of miles, and slashed towards the back of the Netherworld Dao Lord.

The Netherworld Dao Master turned to the side, the axe light grazing his left shoulder, slicing off a piece of flesh and blood congealed with death energy. The flesh and blood scattered, turning into death energy and dissipating.

The Lord of the Netherworld let out a miserable howl, and his escape speed suddenly decreased.

Li Mu pursued relentlessly, his chaotic will locking onto the aura of the Netherworld Dao Lord, who could not shake him off no matter how he changed direction.

"You can't escape!"

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

The axe light slashed into the back of the Netherworld Dao Master, cutting a deep, bloody gash. Death energy surged out like a tide, while a hazy, gray Dao light clung to the edge of the wound, preventing it from healing.

The Lord of the Netherworld groaned, his deathly aura surging as he desperately burned his very essence.

"Primordial Chaos! Eclipse! Help me!"

The Lord of the Netherworld was in great distress, desperately trying to escape. His divine sense was hoarse and exhausted as he sent out his thoughts into the void.

……

In the center of the Sea of ​​Time, stands the Celestial Eclipse Palace.

Before the Dao Lord of the Primordial Beginning sat cross-legged in front of the Dao Palace, the Primordial Qi surged, protecting the Dao Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse.

Suddenly, the expression of the Primordial Dao Master changed.

As the Daoist principles of cause and effect flowed, the chaotic eyes gazed into the depths of the void, and the plea for help from the Netherworld Daoist Master was clearly heard.

The Primordial Dao Lord suddenly stood up, his primordial energy surging around him.

The Celestial Eclipse Dao Master opened his eyes, his gray pupils dimming: "What's wrong?"

The Primordial Dao Lord said in a deep voice, "The Chaos Dao Lord has arrived. You Sha is being hunted down, and Zi Ji is being entangled by the Ghost Mother."

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master's expression changed drastically: "What?"

The Primordial Dao Lord gazed into the depths of the void, where the Daoist principles of cause and effect swirled wildly, revealing a shift in the situation.

"The Chaos Dao Lord and the Ghost Mother joined forces, and Zi Ji and You Sha were no match for them."

The Lord of Heavenly Eclipse struggled to his feet, the Time Crystal Core hovering in front of him, its cracked surface shimmering slightly.

"I will go with you."

The Primordial Dao Master shook his head and refused, saying, "Forget it, you're injured like this, you'd only be a burden if you went."

The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master's expression darkened, and he felt a burning pain on his face.

The Primordial Dao Lord glanced at the Heavenly Eclipse Dao Lord, but didn't pay much attention. The next moment, his figure flashed and he disappeared in a streak of light.

……

At this moment, Li Mu, wielding the Chaos Dao Axe, relentlessly pursued and severely injured the Netherworld Dao Lord time and again, seeking an opportunity to kill him with a single blow.

The axe flashed, cleaving through the air, and struck the Netherworld Dao Master in the back.

The Netherworld Lord was terrified, his deathly aura surging, and he desperately tried to dodge to the side. However, the axe light was too fast and too fierce, leaving no way to avoid it.

A close call.

The void exploded.

The primordial energy surged like a tide, and a gray-white light wall materialized out of thin air, lying between the axe light and the Netherworld Dao Lord. The Daoist principles of cause and effect flowed, and countless transparent threads intertwined like a net, radiating a divine power.

With a deafening roar, the gray and white colors exploded, and the void shattered.

The threads of cause and effect tightened, and the power of the axe light rolled back along the threads, penetrating straight into Li Mu's body.

Li Mu grunted, his body retreated a thousand miles, his Dao body trembled violently, the chaotic gray Dao Yuan around him exploded, cracks appeared on his Dao body, and a trace of scarlet blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Cause and effect backlash! What a profound principle of cause and effect!"

Li Mu stared coldly at the Primordial Dao Master, his chaotic Dao essence surging wildly as he suppressed the causal power within his body.

The Primordial Dao Lord broke through the void and landed beside the Netherworld Dao Lord. Primordial Qi surged around him, and the Daoist rhyme of cause and effect flowed like a tide.

"go!"

Before he finished speaking, the Primordial Dao Lord grabbed the Netherworld Dao Lord's shoulder, his figure transforming into a stream of light as he swiftly fled into the depths of the Sea of ​​Time.

As the light passed, threads of cause and effect densely covered the void, sealing off any path forward.

Li Mu steadied himself, and his chaotic will swept across the web of causal threads. The threads were layered upon layered, each one pulling at a causal link. Cutting one thread would affect thousands more, causing an even stronger backlash.

We can't catch up.

Li Mu sheathed his axe, turned around and looked behind him, where eerie white light and purple light intertwined and fought, the void cracked and turbulent currents surged backward.

Li Mu took a step forward, and his figure vanished.

At this moment, in the vast river of time.

The Demon Mother's long hair flew wildly, and countless demonic threads surged forth, wrapping around the Purple Extreme Lord's body. The Purple Extreme Lord was surrounded by nine purple sun dharma images, their purple light soaring into the sky, stubbornly resisting the demonic threads' encroachment.

The purple sun exploded, and the eerie silk shattered.

The Lord of Purple Extreme retreated a hundred miles, his purple eyes dark and gloomy. A strange white palm print was clearly visible on his chest, with a strange white light flashing at the edge of the palm print, eroding the origin of Purple Heaven.

"Mother of Demons, I advise you to know when to back down, lest you walk the path to your own death!"

The Lord of Purple Extremes let out a cold snort, and the nine purple sun dharma images re-condensed, their purple light surging.

The mysterious mother remained silent, her white eyes gazing into the depths of the void.

A flash of gray light.

Li Mu broke through the void and landed beside the Ghost Mother, holding the Chaos Giant Axe in front of him, with gray Dao light flowing around it.

The Lord of Purple Extremes' expression changed drastically.

"Lord of Chaos!"

Li Mu raised his axe, his gaze fixed on the Lord of Purple Extremes, and said indifferently, "You Sha has escaped."

The wicked mother frowned.

Li Mu looked at the Lord of Purple Extremes and stated, "The ones rescued by Tai Chu are being exchanged for one another; it's not a loss."

The Demon Mother smiled and nodded, her white eyes fixed on the Lord of Purple Extremes with a chilling gaze.

The Lord of Purple Extremes' purple eyes flashed as he gazed into the depths of the void. The primordial and Netherworld auras vanished without a trace, leaving only the lingering Daoist rhymes of cause and effect.

"Do you two really intend to kill them all?" The Lord of Purple Extreme asked somewhat flusteredly, looking at the grim-faced Ghost Mother and Li Mu.

Li Mu gave a cold laugh and questioned, "Oh! When you all besieged my Chaos Vast Land back then, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Purple Extremes fell silent, speechless.

The Demon Mother's long hair fell down, the human-faced fruit shrieked, and countless demonic threads surged out from all directions, sealing off the Purple Extreme Lord's retreat.

Li Mu held the Chaos Dao Axe, and a gray Dao light surged forth.

The Lord of Purple Extremes' purple eyes turned cold, and the nine purple suns merged into one, transforming into a blazing purple-black sun that hovered above his head, its purple light illuminating the entire Sea of ​​Time.

"Fine, fine! Then let's fight to the death!" Before the words were finished, the Lord of Purple Extremes took a step forward, and the purplish-black sun crashed into Li Mu.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded; the Chaos Giant Axe in his hand swirled with both clear and turbid energies, its seven-colored Dao patterns shining brightly.

With a swift movement, the axe fell!
A gray line tore through the sky, slashing towards the purplish-black sun.

"Boom!" A loud noise.

The purplish-black sun shattered, scattering purple light in all directions. The axe's remaining force did not diminish, slashing into the chest of the Purple Extreme Lord.

The Lord of Purple Extremes screamed in agony, flying backwards for tens of thousands of miles, a deep, bloody gash splitting open in his chest, from which purple light surged forth like a tide.

The Demon Mother's eyes flashed, her long hair fell down, and countless demonic threads surged out like a tide, wrapping around the Lord of Purple Extreme.

"die!"

The Ghost Mother moved like a ghost, traversing thousands of miles in an instant. Her pale hand reached out and pierced the brow of the Purple Extreme Lord.

The Lord of Purple Extremes' expression changed drastically. The nine purple sun dharma images shattered, their purple light dimmed, and they were powerless to resist.

A close call.

The void exploded.

The primordial energy surged like a tide, and countless transparent threads emerged from the depths of the void. The threads were as thin as gossamer, yet contained the cycle of cause and effect. In an instant, they intertwined into a net, covering the Lord of the Purple Extreme.

The wicked mother's palm pierced the web of cause and effect.

With a "sizzle," the eerie white liquid splattered everywhere. The causal threads tightened, and the eerie mother's hand was entangled by the threads, which tightened inch by inch, causing the eerie white liquid to gush out.

The Demon Mother groaned and retreated a thousand miles, the threads of cause and effect wrapped around her palm, attempting to spread along her arm to her body.

The Demon Mother's eyes turned cold, and a burst of eerie white light shattered the threads of cause and effect.

The Primordial Dao Lord broke through the void and landed beside the Purple Extreme Lord, grabbing his shoulder.

"go!"

Before he finished speaking, the Primordial Dao Master transformed into a stream of light and fled swiftly into the depths of the Sea of ​​Light and Shadow.

The Demon Mother flew into a rage, her long hair bursting open, and the human-faced fruits screamed in unison.

"Taichu! You're asking for death!"

The Ghost Mother took a step forward, her figure vanished, and she chased after the streak of light.

Li Mu raised his axe, and the chaotic will spread out, sweeping across the depths of the void.

Deep within the void, threads of cause and effect are densely packed like a net, layer upon layer, sealing off the entire void. Wherever these threads pass, the flow of time becomes disordered, the threads of cause and effect break, and fragments of the Dao principles scatter.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed.

"Mother of the Demons, don't chase after them."

The demon mother paused, her white eyes fixed on Li Mu, her face full of resentment.

Why not pursue them?

Li Mu shook his head, his chaotic will pointing towards the web of causal threads deep in the void.

"The principles of cause and effect are of utmost importance. If Tai Chu dared to come to save people, he must have a backup plan. If we follow him, we may fall into his trap."

The ghostly mother's white eyes flickered as she gazed at the web of cause and effect threads. The threads were layered upon layered, each one pulling at a cause and effect. Cutting one thread would affect thousands more, causing an even stronger backlash.

The wicked mother gritted her teeth.

"He got off too easily."

Li Mu sheathed his axe and gazed into the depths of the void.

The light transformed from the Primordial Dao Lord vanished without a trace, the threads of cause and effect slowly dissipated, and the void returned to its deathly silence.
-
Deep within the sea of ​​time, a void fault.

The Primordial Dao Lord stood amidst the fault line, his primordial energy surging around him, and the Daoist rhyme of cause and effect flowing like a tide.

The Lord of Purple Extremes sat cross-legged in the void, the axe mark on his chest shimmering with gray Dao light, purple light surging as he attempted to repair it, but the gray Dao light suppressed it tightly, making the healing slow.

The Lord of the Netherworld stood to one side, his deathly aura surging, the axe mark on his chest also shimmering with gray light, his face deathly pale.

The Primordial Dao Master's face was gloomy, and the Daoist aura of cause and effect around him flickered uncertainly, his aura being three points weaker than before.

The Lord of Purple Extremes raised his eyes, his gray pupils looking at the Lord of Primordial Dao.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, how are your injuries?"

The Primordial Dao Master sighed and said, "I set up the Karma Reversal Array to lure those two into my trap, but they didn't chase after me. I wasted three-tenths of my source energy for nothing."

The Netherworld Dao Master's death aura surged, and he said hatefully, "That brat is as cunning as a fox."

The Primordial Dao Master gazed towards the direction of the Chaotic Vast Land, his eyes deep and worried, and said, "The Great Dao of Chaos encompasses all things. That kid has obtained the True Meaning of Chaos and is very cautious. The Demon Mother is furious, but she listens to him. The two of them working together are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with!"

After a moment of silence, the Lord of Purple Extremes said in a deep voice, "This defeat has severely damaged the vitality of the four regions. The Heavenly Eclipse Sea of ​​Time has been eroded by more than half by the Ghost Mother. I, Zixiao, have lost two million Dao soldiers, Yousha has lost one million, and Fellow Daoist Taichu has also consumed three-tenths of his source."

The Netherworld Dao Master's deathly aura surged, and he said unwillingly, "Is this how it ends?"

The Primordial Dao Master glanced at him and said solemnly, "What good would it do to stop fighting? Heavenly Eclipse is severely injured, and the foundation of the Sea of ​​Time is shaken. Neither you nor I are in much better shape. Continuing to fight will not bring us any benefits!"

The Lord of the Purple Extremes looked towards the Sea of ​​Time, at that place where eerie white light surged.

"The Demon Mother has taken root in the Sea of ​​Time, and the Heavenly Eclipse will not last long."

The Primordial Dao Master said in a deep voice, "If the Heavenly Eclipse dies, the Demon Mother's Demonic Path will be perfected, making her even more difficult to deal with."

The Netherworld Dao Master was taken aback and asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?"

The Primordial Dao Master remained silent for a long time before raising his eyes.

"First, stabilize the foundation. The Heavenly Erosion of the Sea of ​​Time, I will use the Dao of Cause and Effect to stabilize the Dao Palace for him. Fellow Daoists Ziji and Yousha, return to your domain to rest and recuperate, and accumulate strength."

The Lord of Purple Extremes, his face contorted with pain, agreed, "This is the only way!"
-
The Sea of ​​Time, the Palace of Heavenly Eclipse.

The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Dao sat cross-legged deep within the Dao Palace, with the Time Crystal Core floating in front of him. The crystal core was covered with cracks, and the time scale flickered uncertainly.

The Primordial Dao Lord landed before the Dao Palace, raised his hand, and the Primordial Qi surged, condensing into a gray-white light wall that enveloped the Dao Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Tian Shi, rest assured and recover from your injuries. I will use the Daoist principles of cause and effect to stabilize the foundation of your Dao Palace."

The Lord of Heavenly Eclipse opened his eyes, his gray pupils dimming.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, thank you very much."

The Primordial Dao Master waved his hand.

"The four realms are of one branch, and if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If you die, the Demon Mother will be perfected, and all four realms will be in danger." The Heavenly Eclipse Dao Master was silent for a moment, looking at the place outside the Dao Palace where the eerie white light surged.

“The evil mother is deeply rooted in the Sea of ​​Time, and it is not easy to uproot her.”

The Primordial Dao Master reminded us, "If we cannot remove her, we will trap her for now. I will use the Dao of Cause and Effect to seal the boundary of the Sea of ​​Time, preventing the Evil Mother from escaping. Once we have recovered our strength, we will join forces to kill her."

The Lord of Heavenly Eclipse readily agreed, nodding with delight: "Good!"

Before the Daoist Master of the Primordial Beginning sat cross-legged in front of the Dao Palace, his hands forming hand seals. The Daoist rhythm of cause and effect flowed, and countless transparent threads emerged from his fingertips, seeping into the void and spreading towards the boundary of the Sea of ​​Time.

Wherever the silk thread passes, the void solidifies, and the threads of cause and effect are densely packed like a net, sealing off the entire sea of ​​time.
-
The boundary of the sea of ​​time.

The Demon Mother stood in the void, her long hair hanging down, her white eyes gazing into the depths of the web of cause and effect.

Li Mu stood beside him, holding an axe, his gray aura subdued.

The Ghost Mother said coldly, "That old thing, Tai Chu, sealed the Sea of ​​Time with the Dao of Cause and Effect, so I can't get out."

"The Dao of Cause and Effect is indeed difficult to deal with," Li Mu said helplessly.

"Your Chaos Dao encompasses all things, yet it cannot be broken?" The Ghost Mother looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

Li Mu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It can be broken, but it will take too long. That old thing Tai Chu won't give me the time."

The Demon Mother remained silent for a moment, then her white eyes flickered: "Then let's trap her for now. I'm rooted in the Sea of ​​Time, and the Origin of Heavenly Eclipse will eventually belong to me. Once my demonic path is perfected, this mere net of cause and effect will be easily broken."

Li Mu looked at the Ghost Mother. "How long will it take you?"

The Demon Mother looked at Li Mu and replied, "A thousand years. Within a thousand years, the Heavenly Eclipse will surely perish. At that time, my Demonic Path will be perfected, and I will break free from the net."

After a moment's thought, Li Mu decided: "In that case, I will protect you for a thousand years and see what you can do!"

The Ghost Mother looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked, "You believe me?"

"Now that things have come to this, there's no other way!" Li Mu said calmly. "Besides, the oath has been made; whether you believe it or not is unimportant. What's important is that our goals are aligned. Without eliminating the Four Domains, no one can expect peace."

"Great!" The Ghost Mother laughed heartily, overjoyed.

Immediately, the Demon Mother sat cross-legged in the void, and the Domain of Demonic Path unfolded, where she began to devour and refine the essence of time. (End of Chapter)
