Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The three fundamental paths intertwine to form a web, causing the void to shatter, time to freeze, and all things to return to nothingness.

Li Mu's figure flickered, the gray light exploded, leaving only a blur in the original spot.

The next instant, Li Mu appeared directly above the three-colored Dao Domain.

The giant axe of chaos was swung up.

On the axe blade, the patterns of time condensed, like a cascading galaxy, forming a hazy axe light, presenting a scene of spatial folding, a world apart yet so close, twisted like a shattered mirror, a symbol of birth and death, the cycle of withering and flourishing.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the talisman blade slashed down fiercely, directly plunging into the three-colored Dao Domain.

A deafening boom!
The three-colored Dao Domain was cleaved open in the center, initially as thin as a hair, but in an instant it expanded to tens of thousands of feet.

Purple Heaven Dao Fire surged from the crack like a waterfall of blood, cold and deathly energy surged, dark green liquid splashed everywhere, and the threads of cause and effect shattered into countless points of light.

The three-colored Dao Domain is severed in two with a single axe stroke.

The three Dao Lords, Tai Chu, Zi Ji, and You Sha, were struck as if by lightning. Their bodies stiffened, and they stared at Li Mu in disbelief, never expecting that he could unleash such a terrifying attack.

The Primordial Dao Master's expression changed drastically, and the Daoist principles of cause and effect surged wildly as he forcefully mended the crack in the Dao Domain, preventing the axe blade from invading.

The Lord of Purple Extremes' nine purple sun emanations trembled simultaneously, with a blazing black sun blocking his way, and the aftershocks of the axe light crashing onto the sun.

A loud "Boom!"

The Lord of Purple Extreme retreated several miles, his purple robes fluttering in the wind, his face grim.

The Lord of the Netherworld, the White Bone Throne, retreated hastily, his deathly aura surging. He deflected the impact of the axe light, and beneath the throne, countless illusory corpses shrieked, their voices shaking the void.

"Today, none of you will leave here alive." Li Mu stood holding his axe, his gaze fixed intently on the three Dao Lords, his eyes filled with barely suppressed killing intent.

The next moment, Li Mu's chaotic will exploded, engulfing the entire Myriad Dao Source Sea.

The three Dao Lords were locked in by the will of chaos, their surroundings solidified like iron, the flow of time slowed down, and their every move was invaded by the power of time.

"Bluster!" The Primordial Dao Master stared coldly at Li Mu, then transmitted his thoughts to the two masters, Zi Ji and You Sha, saying, "Fellow Daoists, his Chaos Dao Foundation has been destroyed. He is merely experiencing a final burst of energy before death. If we join forces, he won't last long!"

The Primordial Dao Master formed hand seals, pushing the Dao Domain of Cause and Effect to its limit. Countless threads of cause and effect wove a colossal net in the void, with layers upon layers of meshes. The Dao rhythm of cause and effect flowed, drawing the Dao Source resonance of Ziji and Yousha.

The Lord of the Purple Extreme had a sinister expression. The nine purple suns merged into one, transforming into a blazing purple-black sun that illuminated the Source Sea.

With a loud "boom!", endless Purple Heaven Dao Fire surged out, transforming into a purple flame canopy. The canopy was covered with dense purple patterns, drawing upon the origins of 300,000 Purple Heaven Ancestral Trees.

The Lord of the Netherworld's pupils were pitch black, filled with surging death energy. Beneath the throne of white bones, countless phantom images of corpses appeared, and endless death energy spewed from the mouths of the corpses, condensing into a dark green dead river. The river water surged, rotting corpses floated and sank, and the stench was overwhelming.

The Primordial Dao Lord clasped his hands together, the Dao of Cause and Effect soaring to the heavens. A third eye split open between his brows, the supreme manifestation of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, the Technique of Tracing the Origin of Cause and Effect, instantly locking onto Li Mu, piercing through his chaotic body, and pointing directly to his core origin.

"Lock the source of cause and effect!" the Primordial Dao Master shouted.

Endless threads of cause and effect pierced straight through the void, wrapped around Li Mu's body, cut into his chaotic Dao body, and seeped into his acupoints and Dao foundation.

The Primordial Dao Lord intended to use the power of cause and effect to lock onto the origin of chaos and sever Li Mu's connection with the remaining source veins of the Chaotic Vast Land.

The Lord of Purple Extremes followed suit, his purplish-black sun exploding into countless chains of purple flames that extended along the threads of cause and effect, binding Li Mu's limbs, waist, and neck. Purple Heaven Dao Fire burned on the chains, the flames licking at his chaotic Dao body, burning through the gray Dao light, and seeping into his flesh and blood.

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of the Netherworld unleashed the Death Domain, pouring endless dark green dead water into the threads of cause and effect, eroding the origin of chaos, and spreading the power of decay, attempting to rot Li Mu's Dao body into bones.

The three paths converge into one.

Cause and effect lock, purple flames burn, death energy corrodes, three measures are taken simultaneously.

Li Mu remained expressionless. His chaotic body was bound by three-colored chains, causing it to crack and countless gray blood streaks to seep out.

The next moment, the Chaotic Dao Body shone brightly with the Dao patterns of time. The power of time surged forth like a burst dam, spreading along the chains, the threads of cause and effect, the purple flame chains, and the river of death energy, all unfolding simultaneously. The flow of time changed drastically. The threads of cause and effect froze, the purple flame chains stood still, and the river of death energy froze.

All three paths were blocked, unable to advance or retreat.

The Primordial Dao Master's expression changed drastically, his three eyes twitched wildly, and he sensed that the threads of cause and effect had been solidified by the power of time, and the power of tracing back had been frozen.

"broken."

Li Mu coldly uttered a single word.

The next moment, the Chaos Dao Yuan erupted, the frozen causal threads shattered, the purple flame chains exploded, the deathly ice river collapsed into countless fragments, and the three-colored Dao light scattered and flew in all directions. The causal fragments, the purple flame residue, and the deathly Dao source shattered one after another.

"This, this is impossible!"

The Lord of the Netherworld Fiends stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

The combined attack of the three domains, unleashing their ultimate Dao essence, was shattered by Li Mu in an instant. Such a method was beyond his comprehension.

The Primordial Dao Master's face turned ashen, and his third eye between his brows twitched wildly, issuing a frantic warning.

Li Mu's figure flashed, leaving only a wisp of gray light where he had been; he had vanished without a trace.

"careful!"

The Primordial Dao Lord issued a stern warning, and threads of cause and effect surged wildly, rushing towards the direction of the Netherworld Dao Lord.

The Netherworld Lord's pupils constricted sharply, his scalp tingled, and a deadly crisis exploded from the depths of his heart. Without time to think, he swiftly formed hand seals, and the white bone throne beneath him crumbled. Hundreds of millions of bone fragments condensed into a bone shield in front of him, with layers upon layers of phantom images of countless corpses, their roars shaking the heavens and the earth.

next moment.

Li Mu appeared out of thin air in front of the Netherworld Dao Master, swinging the Chaos Giant Axe in his hand.

On the axe blade, the Dao patterns of time flowed like a cascading galaxy. With a fierce slash, axe light burst forth, the void solidified, time stood still, and everything froze in place.

The gray axe light was reflected in the eyes of the Netherworld Dao Master. His soul was terrified and his heart was shattered. He poured all his Dao source into it, and the deathly Dao patterns on the surface of the bone shield flowed wildly. Hundreds of millions of corpse phantoms rushed out from the shield, one after another, trying to hold it back for a moment.

With a soft "poof," the axe light pierced through the corpse, shattering it into countless gray-white fragments; it easily penetrated the bone shield.

The axe blade, its momentum undiminished, slashed straight down with extreme speed.

The Lord of the Netherworld had no time to dodge. His eyes were filled with despair. He pushed his hands out forcefully, and his natal Dao Source - the White Bone Throne - became the last barrier in front of him.

On the White Bone Throne, a Dao Seal of the Netherworld Origin emerged, drawing upon the primordial power of the entire Netherworld Dao Domain.

With a crisp "crack!", the remains of the bone throne shattered.

The next instant, the axe blade pierced into the body of the Netherworld Dao Master.

It slashes in from above and exits from below.

The body of the Netherworld Lord was split in two, the two halves of the body tilted, and the source of death energy poured out like a flood, staining half of the void a ghastly green, and the foundation of the Dao collapsed with a roar.

The next moment, a Netherworld Dao Seal flew out from the collapsing Dao body, piercing through the air and fleeing towards the direction of the Primordial Dao Lord, covering tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

Li Mu snorted coldly and reached out with his right hand.

Countless chaotic energies instantly transformed into a giant hand, which, with an overwhelming force, grasped at the Dao Seal. The Dao patterns of time flowed in the palm, and the power of time surged. The Dao Seal's speed suddenly slowed down, as if it were trapped in a quagmire.

The giant palms came together. The five fingers gripped the Dao seal tightly.

The Dao Seal trembled violently, struggling desperately. Dark green light exploded, and countless illusory corpses surged out of the seal, tearing at the giant hand of chaos.

The gray light shone brightly, and the illusory images shattered in patches.

The Dao Seal was held tightly in Li Mu's palm.

Li Mu withdrew his hand, and the Netherworld Dao Seal fell into the Chaos Treasure Palace, suppressing it deep within the Chaos Sea of ​​Qi.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The causal threads of the Primordial Dao Lord were a step too late and ended up binding nothing.

Before the Lord of Purple Extreme could react, the Lord of Netherworld Fiends was already a disintegrating corpse.

The two Dao Lords exchanged a glance, their faces turning pale with fear.

As the Lord of the Netherworld Dao fell, dark green light spots scattered like rain. The 200,000 ancestral trees of the Cold Nether army cried out in unison, their trunks cracking and death energy rapidly dissipating. The five million Cold Nether soldiers stood frozen in place, their eyes still filled with confusion. Having lost their leader, their morale was in chaos.

The Primordial Dao Master stared intently at Li Mu, his hands trembling uncontrollably as he made hand seals to cast spells.

It has fallen.

From the moment Li Mu appeared to the moment You Sha fell, only a few breaths had passed.

The combined attack of the three domains was instantly shattered.

You Sha's all-out defense was pierced through by a single axe blow.

The Primordial Dao Lord took a deep breath, looked at the Purple Extreme Lord with his Causal Eyes, and transmitted his thoughts: "Fellow Daoist Purple Extreme, this is impossible."

The Lord of the Purple Extremes, his purple eyes flashing, responded telepathically: "Withdraw?"

The Primordial Dao Lord remained silent.

withdraw?
The Chaotic Vast Land has been destroyed, and the foundation of the Chaotic Dao Lord has been destroyed. If we retreat now, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

Not withdrawing?

With You Sha dead, how could he and Zi Ji possibly withstand Li Mu's Chaos Giant Axe?
The Primordial Dao Master's mind raced, and the deduction of cause and effect progressed step by step, with each scene of the deduction appearing one by one.

Scenario 1: The battle continues to the death. He and Ziji join forces, using the Dao Domain of Cause and Effect to trap Li Mu, and the Purple Heaven Dao Fire to incinerate his body. However, the Chaos Dao Lord's Great Dao is complete, condensing the Dao of Time, Space, and Reincarnation; it cannot be trapped, incinerated, or severed. Scenario Result—He and Ziji both perish.

Scenario Two: Separate Escapes. He used the Primordial Cause and Effect to conceal the secrets of Heaven, while Ziji used the Purple Heaven Dao Fire to cut off their retreat, and they fled in two directions. However, the Reincarnation Dao Patterns were already formed, and Li Mu could trace life and death, locking onto the origin. They could escape for a time, but not forever. Scenario Result—They would be hunted down one by one, and perish one by one.

Scenario 3: Retreat to the Primordial Vast Domain and defend it with the Primordial Causal Array. The Causal Array traces back to the source and severs all paths, making it difficult for Li Mu to break through quickly. The longer it drags on, the more variables there will be; the scenario is—a mere prolongation, awaiting further developments.

The Lord of the Primordial Dao gathered his thoughts and deduced, his expression growing increasingly grim.

None of the three scenarios presented a chance of success.

“Fellow Daoist Ziji,” the Primordial Daoist Master transmitted, “withdraw from the Primordial Vast Domain.”

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Purple Extremes' expression changed slightly, and he asked telepathically, "Can the Primordial Vast Domain stop him?"

The Primordial Dao Master gritted his teeth: "The Great Array of Cause and Effect isolates all paths. His Dao Source is flawed, and the Dao of Cause and Effect can precisely restrain his tracing back to his origin. Holding on for as long as possible is better than dying here!"

The Lord of Purple Extremes remained silent, glancing back at the Purple Cloud Army. Four million Dao soldiers were arrayed in the void, their purple armor like scales and their purple spears like a forest; three hundred thousand Purple Cloud Ancestral Trees were rooted in the void, their purple flames soaring into the sky; this was the entire wealth of the Purple Cloud Domain, and if it were to perish here today, the Purple Cloud lineage would be severed.

"withdraw."

The Lord of Purple Extremes recalled with difficulty.

The two leaders issued their orders.

The Purple Cloud Army changed formation, and the torrent of purple light retreated rapidly into the depths of the void; the Primordial Dao Soldiers wove together the light of cause and effect into a net, covering the rear and providing cover. The remnants of the Cold Nether Army lost their backbone and scattered like headless flies, charging around haphazardly.

Li Mu stood atop the ruins of the Origin Sea, his gray robe stained with blood, his eyes filled with a chaotic vortex of stars.

In the chaotic vast land, the Forest of Ten Thousand Ancestors turned into scorched earth, all 100,000 ancestral trees were overturned, Gu Xi perished, Hao Tian perished, Xiao Jin died in battle, Qing Yue Zhenlong, Chi Lian Huo Feng, Ming Yue, ... countless Dao Ancestors and Dao Soldiers, none survived.

"Want to run!"

Thinking of all this, Li Mu's eyes turned bloodshot. He took a step forward, and the Chaos Giant Axe flew out of his hand.

The axe blade pierced the air, its gray axe light splitting the void, directly striking the rearguard of the Primordial Dao soldiers; the Dao Net of Cause and Effect shattered in response, and thousands of Primordial Dao soldiers turned into blood mist. The axe light's momentum did not diminish, slashing into the remnant army of the Cold Netherworld, where death energy exploded, and white bones crumbled into pieces.

Li Mu's figure flickered, transforming into a gray streak of light, sweeping past the routed army of the Three Realms.

The Chaos Dao Domain unfolds.

The hazy light washed over everything, the river of time surged, the void folded and layered, the wheel of reincarnation spun wildly, and the terrifying chaotic domain spread in all directions, instantly covering tens of millions of miles of territory.

The army of the Three Realms was quickly enveloped by the Chaos Dao Domain.

The Zixiao Dao soldiers stood frozen in place, their purple armor eroded by the power of time. Time marks appeared on the surface of their armor, a mere ten thousand years in an instant. Their flesh withered, their black hair turned white, their white hair fell out, their skin became wrinkled like tree bark, and their bones became brittle like rotten wood. The three hundred thousand branches and leaves of the Zixiao Ancestral Tree withered, the trunk died, the roots rotted, and the purple flames went out.

The causal threads of the Primordial Dao Soldiers snapped inch by inch, and the power of void folding crushed the formation. They were now worlds apart, with no way to advance or retreat. Two hundred thousand Primordial Ancestral Trees were shredded by the power of space, their trunks exploding and debris flying everywhere.

The deathly aura of the remnant soldiers was drawn by the power of reincarnation, and the illusory images of billions of corpses turned against their master. The dark green deathly aura poured in, the flesh and blood of the remnant soldiers melted away, and piles of white bones formed.

Li Mu made a hand seal with both hands.

The Chaos Dao Domain suddenly contracted, and the gray Dao light condensed, transforming into a giant chaotic fire dragon.

The dragon's body stretched for tens of millions of miles, its entire body shrouded in gray, its scales covered with the Dao patterns of time, its claws sharp as blades that cleave space, and its horns entwined with the light of reincarnation. The fire dragon raised its head, and its roar resounded through the void, causing the armies of the three realms to crumble and disintegrate.

The fire dragon opened its enormous mouth.

吞。

The four million soldiers of the Zixiao army were swallowed up by the fire dragon. Purple armor, purple spears, flesh and bones turned to ashes in the dragon's mouth. All three hundred thousand Zixiao Dao Ancestral Trees fell into the dragon's belly and were refined into their original source by the Chaos Dao Fire, merging into the fire dragon's body.

The chaotic fire dragon's large tail swung.

The three million Dao soldiers of the Primordial Army were swept by the dragon's tail, their causal Dao light shattered, their gray armor broke, and their Dao bodies exploded into blood mist; two hundred thousand Primordial Ancestral Trees were snapped in half.

The Chaos Fire Dragon extended its claws, grabbing and crushing a million remaining soldiers of the Cold Nether Army. The death energy dissipated and was absorbed by the Wheel of Reincarnation, transforming into nourishment for the Dao patterns of reincarnation.

In a few breaths,

The army of the Three Realms, numbering in the tens of millions of Dao soldiers and dozens of Dao Ancestors, was completely swallowed up by the Chaos Fire Dragon.

The chaotic fire dragon hovered in the void, its body expanding three times its original size. The gray Dao light surged, and blood patterns appeared on its scales, indicating that the primordial essence of the Three Realms army was surging and boiling within its body.

Li Mu stood atop the fire dragon's head, his chaotic will locking onto the direction in which the Purple Extreme Lord had fled. With a flick of its tail, the massive dragon body transformed into a gray lightning bolt, chasing after the Purple Extreme Lord with lightning speed. (End of Chapter)
