Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Above the altar of the Abyss of No Light, the Shadow Star Core floated in a dark golden halo. As the star trails flowed, the blueprint of the Three Thousand Realms was clearly unfolded in Li Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Not only is there a blueprint for the Three Thousand Realms, but it is also densely packed with space jump base points distributed across the nine star domains. The Dark Realm Star Domain and the Void Realm Star Domain have the most, and almost every realm in these two star domains has such space jump base points.

This kind of spatial jump base point is essentially a spatial teleportation array, but it is deployed by an array master who has mastered the Great Dao of Space, so the effect is better.

Today, I couldn't help but wonder why there were so many space jump base points in the Dark Realm Starfield as well. I could understand that they were convenient for the Dark Realm to better control the entire starfield.
Moreover, why would there be beings in the Dark Realm Starfield who are proficient in the Great Dao of Space? The ability to set up so many spatial teleportation arrays must require a high level of personnel and expertise.

A strange light flashed in Li Mu's eyes. Could it be that the Dark Realm and the Void Realm had already formed an alliance?

Without further thought, Li Mu began to control the Shadow Star Core. At the core of the Shadow Star Core, the primordial power of the Dark Realm could be faintly seen, which resonated strongly with Li Mu's Chaos Dao. That extremely pure Dao power was the best supplement for the Chaos Dao, and this power also had an intention to return when facing the Chaos Dao.

Li Mu condensed a wisp of chaotic energy at his fingertips, which wrapped around the star core like a gossamer thread.

The silver lines on the surface of the star core suddenly tightened, releasing shadow power in an attempt to crush this foreign aura. However, the chaotic energy, like a malignant tumor, seeped along the star trails, dimming the silver lines wherever it passed, and was eventually forcibly assimilated by the chaotic power.

"Na!"

Li Mu let out a low shout, and the illusory image of the Chaos Dao Tree emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness, with three thousand roots probing into the dark cave, like billions of chains binding the star core.

The star core trembled violently, its dark golden light flashing wildly, yet it slowly rose into the air under the pull of the roots.

The moment the star core detached from the dark cave, the entire abyss of darkness roared violently, and the light-devouring mist receded like a tide, revealing the altar below, which was covered with ancient runes.

The ancient altar was engraved with dense runes. With just one glance, Li Mu could see the altar's essence. The Shadow Star Core was a coordinate and could also be used for teleportation. This altar, however, was an even more ancient teleportation array. It was probably a backup plan that the Dark Realm wanted to keep in case the Shadow Star Core malfunctioned and the teleportation method was lost.

However, they did not expect that while dragging the Shadow Star Core out of the Dark Cave, the chaotic aura would sweep across the entire Dark Cave, directly breaking the disguise array outside the altar.

Just as the star core was about to be devoured by the Chaos Dao Tree, a rapid whooshing sound came from the edge of the Abyss of No Light. The Nightshade Realm Lord arrived with a hundred powerful members of his clan. Seeing the star core floating in Li Mu's palm, his expression changed drastically: "Foreign cultivators! How dare you lay a hand on our clan's sacred artifact!"

The Nightshade Realm Lord's body surged with black mist, and ten shadow clones simultaneously appeared, each wielding a black spear imbued with the deadly poison of the Epiphyllum flower, all aimed at Li Mu's back. Behind him, the Shadow Clan powerhouses shed their shadows, and their clones surged forward like a tidal wave, all attacking Li Mu.

In fact, the Lord of the Nightshade Realm and the cultivators of the Nightshade Clan had already arrived outside the Abyss of No Light, but none of them dared to enter.

Only after the Devouring Light Mist had completely dissipated did the Night Lord and his entourage dare to enter this forbidden zone they had never set foot in before.

Li Mu didn't even turn around; he simply pressed down with his hand.

A dense, chaotic aura spread out, and the gray currents surged like a raging torrent. The shadow clones that were touched instantly disintegrated, leaving not even a trace of black mist behind.

The Night Realm Lord's true form was swept by the edge of the Dao Domain. The black mist around him melted away like ice and snow, and he spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood, staggering backward.

The rest of the attackers were completely annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.

Li Mu slowly turned around, the star core in his palm completely enveloped by chaotic energy, leaving only a faint golden glow. He looked at the disheveled Lord of the Night Netherworld, his eyes as cold as frost: "This star core has nothing to do with your Night Netherworld. Forcibly seizing it will only lead to your death."

The Lord of the Nightshade Realm was both shocked and furious. As his clansmen around him vanished in droves, his gaze finally fell on the star core in Li Mu's palm, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes: "This is the sacred artifact of my Nightshade Clan! You thief, put it down at once!"

Although the Lord of the Nightshade Realm did not know what it was, he was certain that it was no ordinary treasure. According to the records of the Nightshade Clan, there was no Light-Devouring Mist in their Nightshade Realm before. It was only after a powerful being came that the Light-Devouring Mist appeared, and the Abyss of No Light also appeared at that time.

Once it appeared, it became a forbidden zone of death in their Nightshade Realm. Even getting close to it risked instant death. But now, the Light-Eating Mist has receded, and another person is holding a treasure taken from the Abyss of No Light. How could the Lord of the Nightshade Realm not be tempted?
"Your clan's heritage? Ha, do you even know what that is?"

Li Mu scoffed, saying that the other party was only after money and had even fabricated a so-called sacred artifact to try to intimidate him with reason, but Li Mu was not going to fall for it.

"You little thief! How dare you spout nonsense? Prepare to die!"

The Lord of the Night Realm had completely gone mad. He was completely bewitched by the Shadow Star Core in Li Mu's hand, disregarding the difference in strength and having no eyes for this treasure.

"Everyone, someone is trying to steal our clan's treasures! Elders, please take action and kill them!"

The Lord of the Night Realm roared and took the lead in attacking. The other hundred elders roared at the same time, and the shadows around them burned wildly, turning into black whips of light that intertwined into a net, trapping Li Mu and the Star Core in the center.

The light whip flowed with the primal power of the Night Realm, tearing the space in its wake with tiny cracks.

Li Mu raised an eyebrow, and the Chaos Giant Axe suddenly appeared in his hand, its blade blazing with dark light. Without any further movement, he simply slashed horizontally, a chaotic arc of light tearing through the dark net and shredding half of the light whip into ashes. The arc of light, its momentum undiminished, grazed the Nightshade Realm Lord's shoulder, leaving a trail of black blood beads.

With just a glancing blow, the Shadow Lord's entire shoulder was severed. The wound inflicted by the Chaos Giant Axe was beyond the Shadow Lord's ability to heal. The excruciating pain in his shoulder finally brought a sliver of reason back to the Night Lord, who no longer had eyes only for the treasure.

"You..." The Lord of the Night Netherworld was utterly shocked. He could sense that the other party's power far exceeded his understanding, and even the divine power enhanced by the origin of the realm was no match for it.

However, he was unwilling to give up the treasure right in front of him. For so many years since he became the Lord of the Realm, he had been trying to use the power of the Night Nether Realm's domain origin to resist the Devouring Light Mist, but he had made no progress. Even the power of the Night Nether Realm's domain origin could not resist the Devouring Light Mist.

Everyone believed that the Light-Eating Mist originated from the Nightshade Realm and that the Nightshade Clan was unaffected by it. However, these were all just speculations. In fact, the Nightshade Clan was initially the most affected by the Light-Eating Mist. It was only after spending a long time in the Light-Eating Mist that they gradually adapted to it.

The Devouring Light Mist, which even the power of the realm's origin could not resist, originated from a treasure in that person's hands. How could the Lord of the Nightshade Realm bear to give up such a treasure?

Li Mu, too lazy to waste words with them, suddenly caused the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree to swell violently, like billions of giant pythons coiling around the remaining light whips, forcibly drawing back the Night Netherworld Lord's primordial power. The Night Netherworld Lord screamed in agony, his body rapidly withering under the backlash of his primordial power, and his true form was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

With a flick of his finger, a stream of chaotic energy shot out, piercing directly through the brow of the Night Netherworld Lord.

This ruler of the Night Realm, who had ruled for a thousand years, couldn't even let out a final roar before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating, leaving only a dim primordial crystal core suspended in the air.

Upon seeing this, the hundred Shadow Clan experts were terrified and turned to flee.

Li Mu gave a soft shout, and the roots of the Dao Tree instantly flew out like vines, entangling all the figures. They couldn't break free at all, and then, one by one, they turned into wisps of black smoke in their struggle.

After doing all this, Li Mu turned his gaze to the dim primordial power left behind by the Night Netherworld Lord after his death. "It actually contained the primordial power of the entire realm. This Night Netherworld Lord had grand ambitions."

Li Mu was somewhat surprised. According to the information from the Three Thousand Realms Map, the current Lord of the Night Nether Realm had only been in power for a short period of time, yet he was able to completely absorb the power of the realm's origin. This speed was worlds apart from that of the Shadow Ancestor next door, who had spent ten thousand years only managing to steal power.

Moreover, the opponent's strength was not weak either. Being able to withstand three moves from his Chaos Giant Axe was a rare feat even among all the Extreme Dao Realm cultivators Li Mu had ever seen.

"pity."

Without further reflection, Li Mu began to absorb the domain origin power of the Night Netherworld.

……

Chaos begins in the Yin Realm.

While Li Mu was dealing with the Night Netherworld, the King of the Underworld made a solo trip, descending upon the newly promoted top-tier world, the Heavenly Evolution World, to launch a war of annihilation.

Although the Underworld is the weakest of the nine King Realms, it is not something that a single top-tier realm can handle. The main reason why the Underworld can maintain its position as one of the King Realms is the existence of the Underworld King, whose strength surpasses that of the entire Underworld Starfield.

However, when the King of the Underworld descended upon the Heavenly Evolution Realm with his invincible power, he discovered that eight world lords from top-tier realms were already waiting for him there.

"Lord of the Underworld, what brings you to my Heavenly Evolution Realm?"

The Heavenly Lord of the Realm spoke with a smile, but his eyes held an undisguised killing intent.

The King of the Underworld gave a cold laugh.

"What, you don't even call yourself king anymore?"

"King is a title for the supreme ruler of a star field; you are not yet one."

The Lord of the Yin Realm sat cross-legged in the void like an old Buddha in meditation, showing no fear whatsoever in the face of the arrival of the King of the Yin Realm.

The Xuan Yin Realm Master, who was standing to the side, also spoke up.

"Why is it that the Yin Realm Star Domain, despite being the most expansive, has always been at the bottom of the nine realms? Ultimately, it's because you, the Lord of the Yin Realm, are incompetent. Today, I will take your place."

As for the Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord, whose killing intent was the strongest, he only had one word.

"kill!"

An earth-shattering battle broke out, with the King of the Underworld descending upon the Heavenly Evolution Realm alone to confront the eight top realm lords single-handedly.

At the start of the battle, even with all eight of them working together, they were no match for the King of the Underworld. Despite their combined efforts, they could only manage a draw against him.

When the Heavenly Evolution Realm finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed, a sudden change occurred. The Heavenly Evolution Realm, which had been destroyed, transformed into a huge cage. Countless fragments of the realm became array anchors, eventually forming a massive killing array.

"Hahaha, you old ghost Yin, this is the grand gift I've prepared for you for a thousand years. How about it? Do you like it!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Realm roared and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. He had completely merged with the power of the realm's origin. Now that the Heavenly Evolution Realm had been shattered, he had suffered unparalleled damage. At this moment, he could feel his power draining away and his realm declining.

However, none of this matters anymore, because he has already completed his task, and the rest is up to the others. Before the Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord dies, this formation will definitely not be broken. As long as the formation is not broken, the Yin Realm King will have to face a full-force attack equivalent to that of a peak Extreme Dao Realm cultivator at all times.

Even someone like the King of the Underworld would find it difficult to withstand an attack of this density and intensity.

"Is this the result of your efforts over the past thousand years?"

While fending off the combined attacks of the others and the great formation, the King of the Underworld mocked the Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Realm.

The Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord had the same cultivation level a thousand years ago. The reason he hadn't made any progress was because he had focused all his energy on building this great formation. Everything he did was for today, to avenge his master.

"Yes, this is the gift I've prepared for you with the rest of my life and my very existence—to avenge my master!"

Upon hearing this, the King of the Underworld laughed maniacally, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahaha, avenging your master? Hahaha, how laughable! Your ultimate fate will be the same as your master's—eternal damnation in the cycle of reincarnation! No more rebirth!"

"Don't waste words with him, strangle him!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm roared, and a jet-black Xuan Yin Banner appeared. Behind the Lord of the Earthly Yin Realm and the Lord of the Xuan Yin Realm, an identical Xuan Yin Banner also appeared.

"The three banners unite as one!"

With the cooperation of the Three Realms Lords, the three Xuan Yin Banners began to merge, eventually transforming into a Blood Soul Banner covered with blood-red skulls. Dozens or even hundreds of red streaks of light flowed across the banner's surface.

Each streak of red light was once a World Lord-level figure, and now it has become part of the Blood Soul Banner, providing it with power.

After the Blood Soul Banner was fused, the real killing scheme against the Yin Realm King had just begun. As the strongest of the eight Realm Lords, the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord took the Blood Soul Banner without hesitation and shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting the Yin Realm King head-on.

Before the fusion, each Xuan Yin Banner was already a remarkable ninth-order divine artifact. Now, after the fusion, it almost broke through the category of ninth-order divine artifacts and nearly triggered a heavenly tribulation.

With the assistance of six other cultivators who were also at the pinnacle of the Dao and had fused with the power of high-level realm origins, the King of the Underworld could no longer act with the same ease as before, and wounds gradually appeared on his body.

Just as the group was engaged in fierce combat, a figure quietly appeared in a secret realm outside the Heavenly Evolution Realm. (End of Chapter)
