Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

A torrent of strange power crashed down like an ancient glacier, causing the chaotic giant tree to tremble and wail! Where the tentacles had taken deep root, the gray-black crystal armor crumbled inch by inch, and the myriad flames dimmed suddenly under the impact of the filth, almost bringing the refining process to a standstill.

Li Mu's body trembled violently, as if his seven souls had been pierced by countless poisonous needles, and the light of his Chaos Dao Seed shrank drastically, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Desperate situation!

Put them in a desperate situation!

Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared from the Sea of ​​Chaos, plunging into the Chaos Dao Seed. Pure Chaos Origin Power contracted wildly, and the entire Sea of ​​Chaos poured into the Chaos Dao Seed.

Humanity unites as one! The Way and I are inseparable!
boom--!
The Chaos Dao Seed expanded violently, like the throbbing heart of a chaotic beast! The vast and boundless Chaos Primordial Qi of the entire Chaos Sea transformed into a surging and roaring torrent of chaos, madly surging into the Dao Seed! The core of the Treasure Mansion instantly became "empty," leaving only the all-devouring Chaos Dao Seed, hanging alone before the ferocious and eerie tree.

The Dao Seed underwent a dramatic transformation! The ancient patterns on its surface flowed and recombine wildly, while chaotic energy swirled and billowed, transforming into a profound shape somewhere between a "fetus" and a "Dao Seal"! Inside, Li Mu's figure resided, his divine soul and will completely merging with the origin of the Dao Seed, becoming inseparable!

Om-!
The Dao Seed suddenly shrank to the size of a mustard seed! The next instant, boundless chaotic divine light erupted from its core!
That was not light, but a torrent of the manifestation of the three thousand chaotic laws! Golden spears cleaved the sky, green trees supported the heavens, weak water eroded the soul, divine flames burned the heavens, thick earth carried the Dao... Spacetime was disordered, cause and effect were confused, yin and yang were reversed! Under the rule of the chaotic will, all kinds of laws were transformed into the most primitive and domineering power of decomposition and devouring, like the first ray of tribulation light that broke the heavens and the earth, rushing out with a roar!

The Way bites the root!

The three thousand chaotic laws of the Dao flowed forth, ignoring the filthy demonic energy and ferocious form of the giant tree of the strange path, and pierced straight at the very foundation of its existence! Like billions of greedy roots of laws, they precisely wrapped themselves around every "Dao trace vein" that constituted the origin of the strange path's will.

The sinister source of "decaying life" was crushed and stripped of its evil intent by the combined forces of the vitality of "wood" and the annihilation of "death," transforming into pure life essence, which was instantly devoured by the chaotic torrent!
The void of "devouring spirituality" is filled and neutralized by the Dao of "space" and "void". Its devouring characteristics are broken down into fragments of spatial Dao patterns and integrated into chaos!

The core hatred of the "Flame of Despair" was forcibly extinguished by the Way of "Fire" and "Heart," and the pure essence of annihilation was stripped away and absorbed.

……

The primordial chaos erupts!
The pure law fragments and primordial essence separated and broken down by the Three Thousand Great Daos formed an unprecedented "primordial frenzy," which swept back into the mysterious form transformed from the chaotic Dao Seed. The Dao Seed greedily devoured it, and the chaotic patterns on its surface grew and evolved wildly like living things, becoming even more profound and mysterious. A "self-Dao Source" aura that surpassed all Daos and was the only one that was supreme suddenly erupted!
The Tree of Devious Will let out a heart-wrenching scream! It frantically drew upon the source of the demonic power of the abyss, attempting to fill the "void" left by the excavation of its foundation. However, the filthy demonic energy that surged in was like snow meeting the scorching sun, being dismantled and plundered even faster upon contact with the decomposing torrent of the three thousand chaotic laws! The eerie white pus that made up the tree trunk quickly withered, its billions of tentacles shriveled and curled up, and the eerie source fruits on the crown, which were wailing, dimmed and shriveled one after another!
The Chaos Dao Seed pulsated incessantly, each contraction and expansion devouring a massive amount of primordial essence. The pressure it emitted caused the entire Chaos Treasure Palace boundary wall to groan and shatter. Deep within its profound form, a brand-new, domineering power was taking shape!
"Crack!"

The crisp cracking sound was exceptionally jarring amidst the roar of the laws being annihilated!
The Chaos Dao Seed, which existed between the "embryo" and the "Dao Seal" and had devoured a massive amount of primordial essence, suddenly had a deep crack burst open on its mysterious outer shell! From the crack, billions of Chaos Roots, condensed to the extreme, spewed out!

These roots, with their chaotic colors, faintly reveal myriad divine lights of gold, blue, black, red, and yellow, each imprinted with extremely complex primordial Dao patterns!

ingrained!

As soon as the billions of chaotic roots appeared, they ignored the spatial barriers and the filthy demonic energy barrier of the dying giant tree of the strange path. Like an ancient ferocious beast that smelled blood, they fiercely stabbed into the withering tree of the strange path will with a ferocity that could tear through all paths!

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The roots penetrated the body! Not just entangled, but pierced through, deeply embedded in the pale trunk of the eerie tree, which was dripping with viscous pus, in its withered and curled-up millions of tentacles, and in the dry and dull "fruits of the eerie source" on the tree crown!
Nourish yourself by consuming the Dao!

The moment it pierced through, the Dao patterns on the chaotic roots suddenly lit up! Each root corresponded to one or more of the decomposition and devouring power of the chaotic Dao principles!
The roots of the tree pierce through the remnants of the "decaying life" source, with the flow of vitality and annihilation Dao patterns, crushing and purifying the remaining decaying laws, transforming them into pure life essence, and frantically pumping it back to the chaotic Dao seed along the roots!

Space/Root of Emptiness: Piercing into the residual folds of the "devouring spirituality" void, the Dao patterns flicker, dismantling and smoothing its structure, transforming it into pure fragments of spatial Dao principles, and merging into chaos!
Fire/Heart Roots: Piercing into the dried-up core of the "Flame of Despair," the true meaning of incineration erupts, completely refining the last trace of hatred, extracting the most refined essence of the law of incineration, and nourishing the seed of the Dao!

Golden Roots: Tear apart the trunk of the strange tree, sharp Dao patterns cut and disintegrate the strange Dao law chains that make up the tree body, forcibly peeling off and assimilating its fragments!
Earth Roots: Deeply rooted in the filthy torrents surging from the Demon Abyss Passage, the thick Dao patterns suppress and decompose them, filtering out the complex yet immense energy source contained within.

……

The three thousand great paths, the three thousand roots, all laws return to chaos, nourishing the tree of chaos.

The Dao Tree begins to sprout! A massive amount of decomposed and purified origins of the Dao, fragments of laws, pure energy, and the true essence of the Dao principles, flow continuously into the cracked chaotic Dao seed through billions of roots!
"Boom——!"

The outer shell of the Dao Seed shattered completely! An indescribable "sapling" burst forth from the broken core of the Dao Seed!

This sapling's trunk is like a piece of primordial divine metal, flowing with profound and domineering primordial energy. Its surface is composed of billions of intricate, constantly evolving and decaying primordial chaotic Dao patterns! At the top of the sapling, branches and leaves gradually grow, bursting forth with three thousand rays of primordial divine light. Each ray of light represents a nascent form of the Great Dao of Chaos that is being conceived and growing!

The Chaos Sapling grew at a speed visible to the naked eye! Its trunk expanded, and its roots became thicker and deeper, causing its Devouring Dao Power to surge.

The Tree of Devious Will became its sole source of nourishment! Where the roots pierced through, the eerie white pus completely dried up, the tentacles turned to ashes, and the fruits of the Devious Origin burst one after another, becoming the last source of essence that was drained away! The veins of devious laws that constituted the tree's trunk were forcibly dismantled, devoured, and forged by the Dao patterns on the chaotic roots!
The foul torrents flowing back from the Demon Abyss Passage became the "soil" that nourished the roots, which were then devoured by the soil and water on the roots, and decomposed, filtered, and absorbed by the Dao patterns!
As it devoured more and more of the strange origins of the Dao, the chaotic Dao patterns on the main trunk of the Chaos Dao Tree began to undergo astonishing changes:
Some of the Dao patterns absorbed the reversed life essence of the "decaying life," becoming lively and resilient, with a faint flow of verdant vitality.
Some of the Dao patterns have merged with fragments of the spatial Dao principles that "devour spirituality," becoming even more profound and unpredictable, as if containing endless void within them;

Some of the Dao patterns absorbed the essence of the "Desperate Flame" and its burning power surged, with even the edges igniting with the chaotic Dao fire of nothingness.
……

The Dao patterns in the core area of ​​the main trunk evolved wildly, weaving together to form the complex and profound "Self-Source Dao" core Dao patterns, exuding an absolute will to rule over all Daos and forge the only one!
Under the savage devouring of the Chaos Dao Tree, the Tree of Devious Will could no longer hold on! Its pale trunk, riddled with cracks, let out a final, unwilling shriek before collapsing with a deafening roar! Before its countless fragments could even disperse, they were instantly entangled, enveloped, decomposed, and absorbed by the ravenous Chaos Roots below! Not even a trace remained!

At the core of the Chaos Treasure Palace, all filth has been swept away! Only a nascent Chaos Dao Tree, standing tall and reaching for the sky, remains, quietly rooted in the void. Its roots pierce deep into the turbulent torrent of strange power surging from the Demon Abyss Passage, like a Chaos Green Lotus rooted in a filthy swamp, devouring everything and growing wildly!
On the main trunk, myriad chaotic divine lights flowed, and Dao patterns were constantly being created and destroyed. A newly born "self-source of Dao" pressure, which was enough to make all Dao bow down, spread out and suppressed the entire treasure mansion!

Outside the Chaos Treasure Palace, the Chaos Sealing Array trembled violently. The thirteen ninth-order divine objects that served as the array's cores flashed wildly, and the vast origin within them surged out uncontrollably, transforming into thirteen dazzling torrents, which were forcibly drawn in by the nascent Chaos Dao Tree within the Treasure Palace!
"Om-!"

The divine object wailed, its luster dimming and disappearing at a visible speed! The great array of light, which had supported it for hundreds of years, was like a skeletonless husk. After fluctuating violently for a few breaths, it completely collapsed with a "pop" and vanished without a trace!
The seal is broken! The Dao Tree appears!
The moment the great formation dissipated, an indescribable pressure, like an ancient ferocious beast opening its eyes, swept out with a roar!

Caught off guard, the powerful experts all let out a muffled groan as their protective divine light, Dao fire, Buddhist light, and sea of ​​blood trembled violently, forcing them to retreat thousands of miles!
Their gazes pierced through the now unobstructed void, fixated firmly on the core of the Chaos Treasure Palace.

The scene inside the mansion sent shockwaves through the minds of everyone present!
Where is the Chaos Sea now? Where is the Filthy, Eerie Tree now?
All that could be seen was a small, nascent Chaos Dao Tree, standing majestically! Its trunk was like a piece of Chaos Divine Metal, flowing with profound, cold, and domineering Chaos Essence. Hundreds of millions of intricate Chaos Dao patterns were created and circulated on its surface, revealing an unparalleled will to rule over all Daos and forge the one and only!
Billions of thick, gnarled roots, shimmering with various Dao patterns and divine light, like greedy ancient dragons, plunged deep into the passage connecting to the Abyss of Demons! The turbulent torrent of foul and eerie power surging out of the passage was no longer a source of disaster, but instead became fertile soil to nourish this Dao tree!
On the roots, golden Dao patterns flickered, tearing apart the barrier of strange power; thick earth Dao patterns flowed, suppressing and decomposing the mixed energy; weak water Dao patterns permeated, absorbing the pure essence; and even more devouring Dao patterns lit up, swallowing and absorbing like a black hole! The strange power of the Demon Abyss, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, was forcibly drawn into the roots, and not a single bit could escape or leak out!
At the top of the Dao Tree, three thousand rays of chaotic divine light burst forth, each representing a nascent form of the Great Dao that was growing wildly! Wherever the divine light swept, the void itself froze and submitted! The emanating pressure was ancient and profound, carrying the domineering power of a newborn, causing even the Dao fire of the Burning Heaven Immortal Venerable to bow down, and the sword cry of the Tai Xuan Ancient Sword to carry a trace of awe!
Nourish yourself by consuming the Dao!

"hiss--!"

The Celestial Venerable Burning Heaven gasped, his Dao Flames nearly spiraling out of control. He stared intently at the root that was devouring the demonic power of the Abyss, his voice filled with disbelief and shock: "Refining the demonic as a foundation is already defying the heavens... He is actually 'devouring the Dao'! Using the origin of the demonic path as nourishment to nurture his own Chaos Dao!"

The Tai Xuan Ancient Sword held by the Tai Xuan Sword Master emitted an unprecedentedly clear and resonant cry, trembling incessantly. The accumulated sword intent even faintly resonated with the ruling will emanating from the Chaos Dao Tree! The sharp light in his eyes surged, almost piercing through the void: "Good! What a fine Chaos Dao Tree! Severing shackles, devouring demons to prove the Dao! If this Dao is achieved, a new heaven will be opened for all eternity!"

The Azure Emperor's furrowed brows did not ease; instead, they grew even more grave. He gazed at the frantically devouring roots and the Demon Abyss passage: "How vast is the origin of the Ghost Realm? Can the Dao Tree's foundation withstand such a massive influx? Will the other side of the Ghost Realm stand idly by?"

The holy monk Mingxin's palm lamp shone brightly with Buddhist light, striving to purify the invisible, desperate shrieks that emanated from the devouring and refining of the demonic will. His clear gaze pierced through the chaos, filled with deep emotion: "Amitabha! Benefactor Li's feat of devouring the Dao is of immeasurable merit, and also immeasurable eons!"

Ancestor Xingqiong's face lit up with joy as he gazed at the nascent Dao Tree, its aura growing ever stronger. His voice was hoarse as he said, "The battle for the Great Dao ends here! Fellow Daoist Li, the Great Dao is finally complete!"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!!"

The ghostly flames in the Bone Emperor Demon God's eye sockets flickered wildly, almost leaping out. He greedily "sniffed" the escaping, purified aura of the wicked path, letting out a maniacal laugh: "Devour the Dao! Well done! Devour all that filth! Refine it! This is power! Power that transcends all shackles! Food... food has become the hunter! Hahaha!"

The Blood Prison Demon God's body was surrounded by a churning sea of ​​blood, its crimson eyes fixed on the Dao Tree, filled with extreme desire and an indescribable fear: "Chaos...is this the power of Chaos? Devouring all paths, returning to the one! I...must obtain it! I must!"

In the minds of all the powerful figures, a horrifying thought was crystal clear: the will of the strange realm, that terrifying existence that had eroded a great world, was now like someone who had fallen into a quagmire trap from which they could not escape!

Its destructive power, once a weapon of destruction, has instead become sustenance for the enemy's growth! The passage connecting the two realms is no longer a bridge for its invasion, but rather a conduit through which the enemy extracts its essence! It tried to sever it, but found that the roots of the Chaos Tree had become like maggots clinging to a bone, deeply embedded in the laws of the passage, forcibly maintaining this "nutrient" passage!

The invading force of the treacherous Dao, which has been eroding countless realms, has now become the target of hunting and devouring! This Chaos Treasure Palace, this newly sprouted Dao Tree, has transformed into a greedy and insatiable "Cage of Devouring the Dao"!
The Chaos Dao Tree silently took root in the void, its roots like dragons, endlessly devouring everything. The Dao patterns on its trunk flickered and flowed amidst billions of divine lights; with each flash, they became more complex and profound, and the pressure emanating from its "self-origin Dao" grew even stronger.
