The Wheel of Time and Space - Chapter 1: The Art of Splitting the Sky
In the instant when thunder and light and shadow intertwined, the space in front of Li Mu was instantly torn apart by an invisible force. The invisible cracks were like inky vines spreading in the dark night, winding and stretching madly, interweaving into a strange and deep network of space cracks.

The Immortal Demon Lord, at this moment, with a majestic demonic aura, swept towards Li Mu like a storm.

However, facing the unstoppable offensive of the Immortal Demon Lord, Li Mu appeared unusually calm, his eyes revealing a calm confidence and a smile of success.

The next moment, Li Mu pushed with both hands, and those originally silent space cracks seemed to be given life. They instantly emerged wildly on the trajectory that the Immortal Demon Lord must pass, densely packed together, forming a dragnet.

With a "puff" sound, a dull tearing sound was heard in the air, and one of the arms of the Immortal Demon Lord was instantly cut into several pieces by the space crack without any preparation, and blood gushed out into the void.

The Immortal Demon Lord screamed and disappeared in a flash. When he appeared again, he covered the wound on his broken arm with one hand to stop the gushing blood.

The Immortal Demon Lord looked at Li Mu in shock and anger. His demon eyes that once ignored everything were now filled with shock and anger. He had never thought that this ant-like existence in his eyes could actually burst out with such terrifying power.

Li Mu stood there, his eyes calm and deep, as if everything that had just happened was within his expectations.

A trace of regret flashed across Li Mu's face, as if he was dissatisfied with not being able to defeat the Immortal Demon Lord in one fell swoop. However, he was not discouraged by this. A strong man in the fusion realm is not so easy to deal with.

Li Mu's mind raced. He had already tried every trick he could but still failed to defeat the opponent. What should he do next?

Li Mu waved his hand lightly, and the raging space cracks quickly closed like a tamed beast, as if they had never appeared. The entire space returned to calm again, leaving only the angry panting of the Immortal Demon Lord.

Li Mu hurriedly glanced at his treasure house space during the battle. That glance made his eyes twitch, and the sorrow in his heart surged like a tide. The large tracts of sixth-level green bamboo forests, those high-level spiritual plants that he had carefully cared for and had high hopes for, were now in a mess in the treasure house space, and were ruthlessly destroyed. The spiritual fields that once produced high-quality spiritual objects were now infected by the thick demonic energy and lost their former vitality.

He looked at the treasure house that was once lush and full of vitality, but now it became dilapidated, as if it had experienced a devastating disaster. The sorrow that surged from the bottom of his heart was like being stabbed by a sharp knife, making him unbearable.

Li Mu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from exertion. He looked up at the Immortal Demon Lord, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent. Each of these high-level spiritual plants was a masterpiece that he had poured countless efforts and energy into. They witnessed his efforts and sweat, but now they were gone in an instant.

It's all this guy's fault!
"Go to hell!"

Li Mu's rage was like a flame ignited by a strong wind, burning fiercely and uncontrollably. He roared, and the sound echoed in the treasure house like thunder. The next moment, the Five Elements Sword in his hand swung out like a dragon out of the sea, performing the third move of the Qingming Sword Sutra - Qingming Dawn!
The green sword light was dazzling, like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, carrying endless sharpness and vitality, and rushed straight towards the Immortal Demon Lord.

The sharp green sword light contained all of Li Mu's anger and strength, as if it was going to kill the Immortal Demon Lord in one fell swoop.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Demon Lord let out a deafening roar towards the sky and pushed the Immortal Demon Power to its extreme. The magic armor on his body instantly broke off and turned into rolling black demonic energy that tightly wrapped his entire body.

In a blink of an eye, the thick black demonic energy quickly condensed into an indestructible black shield, surrounding the Immortal Demon Lord.

The moment the green sword light collided with the black shield, a deafening roar erupted. The entire cave space trembled at this moment, and a strong wind was blown up.

However, the defensive power of the shield formed by the magic armor was beyond imagination. Although the Five Elements Sword was extremely sharp, it failed to break through its defense and was instead knocked away by its rebound force.

At this moment, the Immortal Demon Lord has been wrapped in thick demonic energy like a giant black egg.

The next moment, black spikes quickly grew on the black giant egg. In the blink of an eye, it looked like a giant black sea urchin. The black spikes flashed with a cold light, making it intimidating and difficult to approach.

Li Mu stared at the Immortal Demon Lord's current state with his eyes fixed. Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he also knew that he should not act rashly.

Relying on his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, Li Mu quickly understood the current state of the Immortal Demon Lord.

At this moment, the Immortal Demon Lord is performing a secret magical power called "Immortal Pupa Transformation", using this secret technique to quickly restore his broken arm and a large amount of consumed energy.

Li Mu caught the Five Elements Sword that bounced back, his face showing a solemn look, knowing that he was facing a powerful cultivator in the fusion realm, whose strange methods and terrifying strength were far beyond his imagination.

Now the Immortal Demon Lord is rapidly recovering his injuries and strength. If he is allowed to complete his transformation into a pupa, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this critical moment, facing this powerful magic armor, Li Mu's mind raced and he was at a loss for a moment.

Li Mu stared at the black giant egg, anxiously thinking of countermeasures. His eyes inadvertently glanced into the distance and saw that the purple-gold fire phoenix and the yin-yang thunder dragon were devouring frantically and extinguishing the immortal demonic energy in the space.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu had an idea and immediately came up with a countermeasure.

"You, come here!" Li Mu stretched out his hand and waved at the two balls of heavenly fire, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing the order, the Purple-Gold Fire Phoenix and the Yin-Yang Thunder Dragon immediately gave up devouring the demonic energy and transformed into two streams of light, flying towards Li Mu, as if they had understood Li Mu's meaning and were loyally carrying out his orders.

Li Mu took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and practiced the Eightfold Heavenly Fire Hammering Technique. The true energy in his body surged like a river, continuously pouring into his hands. His seal-forming speed became faster and faster, and a terrifying high temperature began to condense around his body.

Li Mu's eyes flashed with determination, and he shouted in a low voice: "Heavenly fire is the furnace!"

Afterwards, Li Mu suddenly pushed his hands forward and displayed his magical power of refining weapons - using heavenly fire as a furnace.

In an instant, the Yin-Yang Thunder Fire and the Extreme Yang Sky Fire burst out at the same time. The two flames intertwined together to form a huge fire vortex. The vortex spun rapidly, making a deafening roar, and the entire space trembled under its power.

As the flames rolled, a huge Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace appeared and condensed in mid-air. The Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace appeared in three colors: purple-gold, cyan-blue, and scarlet red. It was like a fine work of art, carrying endless pressure and emitting terrifying high temperatures. With its appearance, the temperature of the entire treasure house space suddenly increased several times, and the surrounding space was distorted by the Heavenly Fire that emitted terrifying high temperatures.

Under Li Mu's control, the Skyfire Refining Furnace suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force, aiming at the 'giant demon egg'. The 'pupa egg' condensed by the Immortal Demon Lord had no power to resist this suction force and was instantly swallowed into the furnace.

Staring at the 'giant magic egg' in the furnace, Li Mu's heart was filled with joy. He just didn't believe that the magic egg that couldn't be broken by the Taoist sword could survive the refining of the heavenly fire.

Li Mu decided to use the weapon refining technique to refine it thoroughly.

Li Mu used all his strength to operate the Eightfold Heavenly Fire Hammering Method, displaying his magical power of refining equipment - hammering the heaven and earth.

The next moment, the Skyfire Refining Furnace was at full power, and the magic egg in the furnace began to make crackling sounds and was constantly roasted by the high temperature flames.

Li Mu was concentrating on controlling the Skyfire Refining Furnace, injecting massive amounts of spiritual power into it frantically. As a large amount of true energy flowed away, his face gradually turned pale.

Li Mu hurriedly took out a pill bottle from the Jiuzang Lingzhu, poured out all the Tianling Pills, swallowed them in one gulp, and then activated the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra with all his strength to digest the power of the elixir and poured a steady stream of true energy into the Tianhuo Refining Furnace.

The Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace was filled with rich spiritual energy, and the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire and the Yin Yang Thunder Fire seemed to be injected with chicken blood, gushing out with violent firepower.

In the Skyfire Refining Furnace, the black giant egg of the Immortal Demon Lord began to make a "squeaking" sound under the horrible high temperature, as if there was life struggling inside. Li Mu stared at the situation in the furnace, knowing that the battle between him and the Immortal Demon Lord had just begun.

In the Skyfire Refining Furnace, the Yin-Yang Thunder Fire and the Extreme Yang Skyfire intertwined to form a terrifying sea of ​​fire. The black giant egg kept rolling in it, and the black spikes gradually became dim under the burning of the flames. The Immortal Demon Lord seemed to feel an unprecedented crisis. He frantically urged the demonic energy to try to resist the fate of being refined and tried to break through the constraints of the Skyfire Refining Furnace.

However, the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace was made by Li Mu using Heavenly Fire as a furnace and combining it with his magical power to refine weapons, so its power was extraordinary. The Heavenly Fire continued to burn the black giant egg, causing the demonic energy on its surface to quickly dissipate, making it unable to accumulate power.

Soon, the black devil egg rolled violently in the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace, emitting bursts of shrill screams. These were the screams of the Immortal Demon Lord. However, the Heavenly Fire seemed unable to refine the devil armor quickly.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly, and a sense of determination surged in his heart. He decisively took out a large number of seventh-level wood and fire spiritual materials from the Jiuzang Lingzhu, and threw them into the Sky Fire Furnace without hesitation. With a "boom", the two balls of sky fire in the Sky Fire Furnace suddenly increased in firepower with the help of high-level spiritual materials, like a fire dragon tumbling in the sky, releasing endless heat waves and pressure.

Li Mu was fully focused and exerted all his spiritual power to boost the power of the heavenly fire, making it even hotter and more violent.

The flames of the Skyfire Furnace gushed out like a volcanic eruption, illuminating the entire space. In this blazing flame, the black giant egg finally couldn't bear the pressure, and tiny cracks appeared on the surface.

The Immortal Demon Lord felt an unprecedented crisis under the scorching flames. The origin of his immortal demonic energy was mercilessly burned and devoured by the heavenly fire.

At this critical moment, the Immortal Demon Lord let out an earth-shaking roar, the sound waves were like rolling thunder, shaking the entire space. He decisively gave up the pupation and broke free from the crack of the black giant egg that was about to burst.

However, Li Mu had foreseen the situation and made careful preparations. He focused on controlling the Skyfire Refining Furnace, exerting all his energy to raise the temperature of the flames in the furnace to the extreme. The raging flames surged like lava, and at the same time, he unleashed a powerful divine power - the Star Gathering Attack.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Li Mu's divine consciousness was like a golden star, condensing into a dazzling golden light of divine consciousness. This golden light of divine consciousness contained endless power, which instantly cut through the void and slammed into the Immortal Demon Lord.

At this time, Xiaobai, who was sitting on Li Mu's shoulder, also moved. A determined light flashed in his eyes, and his huge soul power surged like a flood. He urged the green soul-soothing bell, which rang melodiously. As the bell rang, a black giant tiger emerged. It was huge and majestic, as if it could devour everything. The giant tiger roared and pounced on the Immortal Demon Lord. Its sharp claws flashed with cold light, as if it could tear apart all obstacles.

The Immortal Demon Lord was suddenly attacked by two powerful divine thoughts. His body paused, and he was completely surrounded by the Heavenly Fire. White smoke rose from his body, and he was refined by the Heavenly Fire along with the Immortal Demon Armor.

"what!"

The Immortal Demon Lord howled miserably, and his soul flew out of his body. He tried again to find a chance to resurrect.

Li Mu had been preparing for this moment!

The resurrection of the Immortal Demon Lord has already caused him to suffer extremely heavy losses. A hundred years of hard work has been destroyed. How can he succeed again?

Li Mu had already expected the Immortal Demon Lord to use this trick, and did not give him any chance at all. He turned his head to look at Xiao Bai and shouted, "Xiao Bai! Don't let him escape!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai took action immediately. It opened its mouth and fiercely sucked the escaping soul of the Immortal Demon Lord. The force of this suction was extremely strong, as if it was going to swallow up the entire void. Under this suction, the soul of the Immortal Demon Lord was mercilessly pulled and could not break free.

“No——!” The soul of the Immortal Demon Lord let out a shrill scream and felt unprecedented fear.

"Gulu!"

Xiaobai swallowed the soul of the Immortal Demon Lord in one gulp, and powerful soul power immediately burst out from its body!
"Jiji!"

Xiaobai called out to Li Mu, and then his head and body went limp.

Li Mu stretched out his hand to catch Xiaobai, checked its condition, and confirmed that it was fine. It just needed sleep to consume the spirit of a powerful person. Then he immediately felt relieved and put it into the Yuling bracelet.

Li Mu's mind was focused on the Skyfire Refining Furnace with a frown on his face. The 'Giant Egg Demon Armor' had not yet been completely refined. Its quality was extraordinary. If the immortal demonic energy attached to it could be burned out, it would be suitable for refining into a high-level Taoist armor.

This life-and-death battle took place in the Painting World's Treasure House, causing him great losses. If he could refine this Taoist armor, he could at least recover most of the losses.

Li Mu took a deep breath, calmed down, put aside all distractions, and concentrated on refining the weapon.

At this time, outside the Painting World Treasure House, Xue'er, Xiao Wa, Chi Lian and others were anxiously waiting for the outcome of the battle. At this moment, something strange happened! (End of this chapter)
