Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Above the ruins of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, the light of the crimson array pulsated violently like a heartbeat.

The Lord of the Yin Realm raised the Blood Soul Banner high, and the blood-red light flowing on the banner emitted a mournful roar. Each stream of light was once the remnant soul of a Realm Lord-level expert. Now, guided by the banner array, they transformed into billions of blood spears, launching a fierce bombardment at the Yin Realm King.

The King of the Underworld was surrounded by surging black seas, which transformed into layers of black barriers.

The blood spear struck the barrier with a deafening roar, but it could not break through the seemingly thin layer of protection.

The King of the Underworld stood at the center of the formation, his scarlet eyes sweeping across the surroundings: "You think you can trap and kill me with these remnants of souls and broken banners?"

Before the words were finished, the Lord of the Earthly Yin Realm and the Lord of the Profound Yin Realm simultaneously formed hand seals. Then, countless pale white bone claws burst forth from the air, coiling upwards like a dense forest, with eerie green venom flowing from the tips of the bone claws that corroded the soul.
In the void, the Lord of the Profound Yin Realm used the Profound Ice Law to condense billions of ice crystals. Within these ice crystals were sealed fragments of solidified lightning; touching them would result in being torn apart by the lightning.

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Souls!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm suddenly plunged the Blood Soul Banner into the earth.

The core of the formation suddenly collapsed, transforming into a bottomless, pitch-black vortex.

Within the vortex, countless twisted ghostly figures surged forth, ignoring spatial distance and directly attacking the King of the Underworld's sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to tear his soul apart.

The King of the Underworld groaned, his sea of ​​consciousness trembling. He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing half of the ghostly figures in the vortex whole.

"How dare these little devils lay a finger on my soul?"

His body was covered in a sea of ​​blood, which began to devour the ghostly figures as a replenishment of his own essence.

"town!"

At that moment, the Lord of the Evil God Realm and the Lord of the Death Realm both issued a warning and attacked simultaneously.

Behind the Lord of the Evil God Realm, a phantom of a three-headed, six-armed demon god appeared, his demonic blade slashing out dark rifts. Wherever the rifts passed, even the spatial barriers of the array were forcibly torn apart. The Lord of the Death Realm summoned billions of corpses, and the torrent of corpses crashed against the Blood Wall of the King of the Underworld like a tidal wave. The Netherworld Fire burning from the corpses was specifically designed to counter the King of the Underworld's Black Sea Barrier.

"Is that all the strength you have? That's not enough!"

The King of the Underworld licked the blood from the corner of his lips and traced a line through the void with his fingertips.

Then a pitch-black token appeared in his palm. Two clusters of ghostly flames suddenly surged from the skull eye sockets on the token. It was the Yin Realm King's Token, but it was different from the one in the hands of the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord. This Yin Realm King's Token contained a powerful aura of the Great Dao.

"Edict!"

The moment the token was thrown, the entire ruins trembled violently, and a black hole appeared out of thin air.
A group of Yin Sha Guards emerged from the void, wielding bone blades and clad in black armor, forming a deathly army that charged into the Eight Realms Lord's offensive with their flesh and blood.

This is the most elite force among the Yin Sha Guards. Every member is a cultivator at the Extreme Dao Realm, capable of becoming a realm lord in lower-level realms. This is also the most powerful force under the Yin Realm King.

Besides the Yin Sha Guards, three other figures also rushed out.

The Yin Sha Guard is led by Ming Tu, the Blood Slaughter Guard by Xue Tu, and the Devouring Realm Guard by Shi Tu. All three are capable of fighting against high-level Realm Lords alone, and even some high-level Realm Lords who have contained the power of the Realm Origin are no match for them.

"Help the king break through!"

Shi Tu was the first to make a move. He was the top subordinate of the Yin Realm King and was said to have once fought against the Lord of the Underworld without being defeated. He took the initiative to approach the Lord of the Underworld and, with the help of Ming Tu and Xue Tu, broke through the joint attack of the Evil God Lord and the Lord of the Underworld.

The three joined forces to temporarily block the two's attack, greatly relieving the pressure on the Yin Realm King. In addition, an entire elite Yin Sha Guard joined forces to block the Xuanbing Realm Lord and the Youying Realm Lord. For a time, the only enemies in front of the Yin Realm King were the Tianyin Realm Lord who held the Blood Soul Banner, the Diyin Realm Lord, and the Xuanyin Realm Lord.

"Quickly destroy the Yin Sha Guards, they won't last long!" the Shadow Realm Lord warned sternly.

Her figure merged into the shadows, and ten clones appeared around her at the same time. Shadow runes wrapped around her like chains, trying to annihilate the Yin Sha Guards directly.

The Lord of Xuanbing followed closely behind, his lightning and ice intertwining into a net, the mesh of which flickered with the lightning of the Law of Annihilation. As he spoke, the Shadow Chains climbed up and slammed down hard on the Yin Sha Guards.

"Mystic Ice Thunder Prison!"

He let out a low shout, and countless bolts of lightning emanated from his body, then suddenly contracted. The ice froze the movements of the Yin Sha Guards, while the lightning ravaged their bodies.

This was a new move he had come up with after devouring the Thunder Dao of the Thunder Realm. The combination of Xuanbing (mysterious ice) and thunder was surprisingly effective, and most of the Yin Sha Guards instantly lost their ability to move.

With only three opponents, the King of the Underworld finally unleashed his full power, no longer needing to hold back.

"You three traitors, prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, the black sea surrounding the King of the Underworld suddenly contracted, transforming into a black sphere of light condensed to its ultimate form. Strange runes flowed across the surface of the sphere. This was a treasure he had refined over many years, containing the primordial power of the Underworld. While it might be somewhat inferior to the Blood Soul Banner, which was a combination of three banners, it was still far superior to other ninth-tier divine artifacts.

"Second brother, third brother! Switch!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm roared, and without any hesitation, the Lord of the Earthly Yin Realm and the Lord of the Profound Yin Realm each crushed the spheres that were flashing with blue light in their hands.

In the next instant, the positions of the Lord of the Earthly Yin Realm, the Lord of the Profound Yin Realm, the Lord of the Dead Realm, and the Lord of the Evil God Realm were swapped.

Without the Xuan Yin Banner, the two were significantly weaker than the undead and the evil god. This was something they had planned beforehand, as it was no secret that the King of the Underworld had people under his command who could fight against top-tier realms, and they had been prepared for this long ago.

The King of the Underworld didn't care about this; it didn't matter to him who the three of them were.

"Die!"

He roared and raised the black orb in his hand high. The black orb expanded instantly, and an aura powerful enough to destroy a high-level realm rushed out.

The demonic phantom of the Evil God Realm Lord stood at the forefront, his six arms simultaneously forming hand seals, and a shield covered with demonic runes appeared on his chest; the Necromancer Realm Lord condensed billions of corpses into an ancient bronze coffin, the runes on the coffin lighting up, radiating an aura that suppressed eternity; the last line of defense was the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord wielding the Blood Soul Banner, the red light on it transforming into blood-red skulls, all rushing towards the black orb of light.

The black sphere of light exploded with a roar!

A devastating energy storm swept across the entire ruins, obliterating the flowing light and remnant souls on the Blood Soul Banner inch by inch. The Demon God Shield was riddled with cracks, and the bronze coffin was blasted thousands of miles away.

The Lord of the Evil God Realm and the Lord of the Death Realm were the first to be hit. Their protective light shields broke through instantly, and both of them spat out a mouthful of blood essence, their auras weakening rapidly.

In the chaos, the King of the Underworld seized the opportunity, transforming into a streak of blood and rushing toward the weakest point of the formation, attempting to break through the Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord's formation first.

"Stop him!"

The Lord of Xuanbing roared, and Xuanbing Thunder Prison flew out again. Just now, he and the Lord of Youying joined forces, and the Lord of Youying paid a considerable price to kill that Yinsha Guard.

However, the Xuanbing Realm Lord had only recently ascended to the Heavenly Realm and lacked sufficient foundation. The Yin Realm King's body passed directly through the electric grid, the ice melting the instant it touched his vital energy, and the lightning being completely devoured. The Youying Realm Lord was in even worse condition than the Xuanbing Realm Lord; his constructed defenses couldn't even hinder the Yin Realm King in the slightest. The Yin Realm King crashed into the Heavenly Evolution Realm Formation, causing the entire formation to shake violently.

The Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Realm coughed up blood, his withered hand pressed firmly against the center of the array's core, attempting to stabilize the violent tremors of the Heavenly Evolution Realm's grand array and ensure its stability. He took one last look at the ruins of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, then, as if making a firm decision, drew out the last of his vital essence from his heart and stored it within the tortoise shell beneath him.

The patterns on the tortoise shell beneath him lit up inch by inch, each ray of light drawing away his last bit of life force. This was the final killing move he had prepared for the King of the Underworld, using his own Dao foundation as a guide and the Heavenly Evolution Realm formation as a thread to detonate the primordial power of the entire Heavenly Evolution Realm.

"Yin Jue, bear the wrath of the Heavenly Evolution Realm for a thousand years!"

The Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord threw his head back and laughed wildly, gushing out countless mouthfuls of blood.

Before the words were finished, the tortoise shell array pattern suddenly shattered, turning into billions of golden streams of light that spread wildly along the Heavenly Evolution Realm array.

The space of the original domain of the Heavenly Evolution Realm began to distort and collapse. The floating domain fragments no longer collided randomly, but followed a mysterious trajectory and condensed into a huge spear of light that pierced through the starry river!

The spear of light pointed directly at the King of the Underworld, its tip flowing with the aura of the primordial chaos, the very essence accumulated by the Heavenly Evolution Realm over countless years, now ignited by the Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord at the cost of his life.

The King of the Underworld's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel the power contained in the spear of light, which made him realize that he absolutely could not resist it.

His body was filled with surging energy, and the Black Sea Barrier instantly thickened a hundredfold. The token in his hand, engraved with skulls, burst forth with a soaring blood-red light, attempting to block this fatal blow.

"You and your master both deserve to die!"

The King of the Underworld roared, and countless vengeful spirits emerged from the black sea around him, forming a blood-red net that blotted out the sky and tightly enveloped the spear of light.

However, the spear of light was not hindered in the slightest. Wherever the golden light passed, the phantoms of vengeful spirits melted away like ice and snow, and the blood net broke apart inch by inch.

The moment the light spear pierced the Black Sea barrier, it emitted a piercing tearing sound, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier, while white smoke rose from the black seawater.

"puff--!"

The spear of light grazed the Yin Realm King's shoulder, sending up a shower of crimson blood. The flesh on his shoulder was instantly swallowed by the golden light, revealing stark white bones with scorch marks on their surface. This wound was caused by the primal power of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, preventing him from healing quickly.

Half of his body was being continuously burned by the power of the light spear, and the King of the Underworld could only withstand it with his cultivation.

Even more terrifying, the light spear continued its momentum, blasting towards the three people behind it.

In his haste, Shi Tu raised his bone shield, but it was easily pierced by the light spear. The bone shield and his body turned to ashes at the same time, leaving not even a trace of his soul behind.

The two people behind Shi Tu were also reduced to ashes by this spear.

"You deserve to die!"

The King of the Underworld roared and charged towards the Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Realm.

With the deaths of Shi Tu and the other two, the most elite force of the Yin Sha Guard was also wiped out, leaving the Yin Realm King completely alone. Even if he could suppress this rebellion, he would not be able to establish a foothold in the short term. The other major star regions were all eyeing his Yin Realm Star Region with covetous intent, and they were not saints.

The Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord's figure was almost transparent. He watched as the Yin Realm King was injured and as the three of them, Shi Tu, died. Finally, a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

He glanced at the battle one last time, his figure completely transforming into specks of light, merging into every pattern of the great formation. The primordial power of the Heavenly Evolution Realm continued to surge, like a leech clinging to a bone, tightly locking onto the aura of the King of the Underworld.

Unable to kill the Heavenly Evolution Realm Lord with his own hands, the Yin Realm King's eyes turned bloodshot, and he set his sights on the weaker Xuanbing Realm Lord and Youying Realm Lord.

But how could the Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm and the others let such a good opportunity slip by?

"kill!"

The Lord of the Yin Realm seized the opportunity, and the Blood Soul Banner danced wildly. The blood-red light on the banner surface condensed into a blood dragon, roaring as it charged towards the King of the Yin Realm.

The demonic phantom of the Evil God Realm Lord swung its six arms simultaneously, and the dark rifts created by the demonic blades blocked all of the Yin Realm King's escape routes.

The Lord of the Underworld activated the ancient bronze coffin, opening the lid and spewing out countless streams of ghostly fire, specifically targeting the King of the Underworld's essence.

The Lord of the Shadow Realm and the Lord of the Ice Realm flanked from both sides, their shadow runes and lightning ice intertwining to form a net, trapping the King of the Underworld in the center.

The Lord of the Earthly Yin Realm and the Lord of the Profound Yin Realm then unleashed the power of their respective realms' origins, which, like chains, coiled around the Yin Realm King's limbs.

The King of the Underworld roared, bathed in blood, unleashing an unprecedented aura of Yin and evil. He suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, causing the scattered fragments of the Black Sea to flow back and condense on his body into a hideous black armor. Countless skulls emerged from the black armor, each one howling and radiating a chilling pressure that could freeze one's soul.

"A bunch of clowns, daring to plot against my throne?"

The King of the Underworld swept his fingertips across the void, and a bone sword over ten feet long emerged from the black sea, its blade covered with vicious curse runes.

The moment the bone sword was swung, a jet-black sword aura tore through the blood dragon, shattered the ghostly flames, and even cleaved a gap in the shield of the demon god's phantom.

The Lord of the Evil God Realm grunted and retreated, the demonic runes on the chest of the demon god's phantom dimmed by a third.

"Break!" The King of Yin Realm charged forward with the force of the attack, his bone sword sweeping across, forcing back the Lord of Heavenly Yin Realm and the Lord of the Dead Realm. At the same time, the skulls on his blood armor spewed out black mist, which landed and transformed into countless phantoms of Yin Sha Guards, temporarily entangled the Lord of Netherworld Shadow Realm and the Lord of Profound Ice Realm.

"This is his last trump card; he's at his limit!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm knows the King of the Yin Realm best. This black armor and black sword are the King of the Yin Realm's last trump card. Every time he uses them, the King of the Yin Realm suffers a backlash. In other words, the King of the Yin Realm is now forced into a dead end.

"Come on, who wants to die first!"

The King of the Underworld forced three people back with a single sword strike, then pointed his sword at the crowd.

"Ha, I'll do it!"

The Lord of Xuan Yin Realm made the first move, followed closely by the Lord of Evil God Realm, and the rest of the group also joined in.

The King of the Underworld deliberately shattered the Black Sea, transforming it into a black mist that enveloped the entire battlefield.

Outside the Heavenly Realm, Li Mu stood with his arms crossed, his figure hidden in the void, watching the scene before him with great interest.

Upon emerging from the Night Realm, Li Mu received news of Blood Slaughter God Lord's arrival. The King of the Underworld was fighting eight people alone, and Li Mu immediately used the Shadow Star Core he had just obtained to teleport to the vicinity.

When they are both severely injured, that will be Li Mu's time to make his move. (End of Chapter)
