Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"Even if we can seal off the enemy's warships, how do we lure them into the range of this Necromancer's Binding Talisman?"

The Lord of the Evil God Realm once again posed a difficult question. Both he and the Lord of the Shadow Realm advocated defense, and without a foolproof plan, it would be difficult for them to agree to take the initiative to attack.

“Use the Xuanbing Realm as bait.” The Bone Talisman of the Necromancer Realm trembled slightly. “Although the Xuanbing Realm has lost its source, its geographical location is crucial. It is the hub connecting the enemy’s eastern and western territories. If we feign an attack on the Xuanbing Realm, the enemy will surely send its main force to reinforce it. At that time, we can seal off the space with the Locking Realm Talisman and then surround and kill them with the Three Yin God-Slaying Array. Their elite troops will surely suffer losses. If the mysterious person makes a move, with the two arrays in place, we may not be afraid of the enemy! Perhaps we can eliminate this major threat at the same time. Even if the enemy abandons the Xuanbing Realm, we can still reclaim this important strategic location.”

"It's not necessarily necessary to trap them." The Heavenly Yin Realm Lord sneered, and the Blood Soul Banner split into three blood-red lights, which fell into the hands of the Earthly Yin and Profound Yin Realm Lords respectively. The last one fell into the hand of the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord. The three Profound Yin Banners are the array eyes of the Three Yin Annihilation God Array.

"The Three Yin Annihilation God Formation of my two brothers is no joke."

When combined, they form the Blood Soul Banner, which can be used for both offense and defense; when separated, they form the Profound Yin Banner, which can be used to create formations. The three brothers are all top-tier realm lords with immense strength, which is why they have always advocated for offense.

Originally, the task of killing the King of the Underworld fell to the three brothers, but unexpectedly, the King of the Underworld had the means to escape the Heavenly Evolution Realm Formation and was eventually killed by Li Mu. The three brothers' killing moves and the Lord of the Underworld's formation were never used. Now they are going to use them on the Sword Sect Ancestor and the others.

"The Three Yin Formation will be the main attacking force. Brother Evil God and Brother Necromancer will be responsible for intercepting reinforcements. The main thing to watch out for is that mysterious person. As long as the mysterious person doesn't make a move, the two of you don't need to take action. Brother Necromancer only needs to reinforce the seal with the Locking Talisman. Within an hour, no matter who is stationed there, they will be annihilated, body and soul."

The Lord of the Underworld gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

The Shadow Realm Master suddenly looked up, dark runes flowing across her ink-black gauze dress: "This disciple is willing to lead the Shadow Clan as the vanguard to attack the Profound Ice Realm!"

Seeing that everyone was interested, the Lord of the Evil God Realm finally nodded: "In that case, we will follow Brother Tianyin's plan. But I have one request: if the mysterious person appears, we must retreat in time and not linger in battle."

"Haha, no problem, no problem at all."

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

Three days later, the ruins of the Xuanbing Realm were suddenly shrouded in shadows, and countless armies of the Shadow Clan emerged from the shadows, beginning their attack on the Xuanbing Realm.

Suddenly, a burst of Buddhist light erupted from the Xuanbing Realm, and the golden phantom of the Kuchan Buddha rose from the ground. Wherever the Buddhist light passed, it began to confront the shadowy figures. The two sides fought each other, neither willing to give way, and the Xuanbing Realm was plunged into a place of light and shadow, half Buddhist light and half shadow.

Bathed in the Buddha's light, a group of Arhats, as if blessed by golden bodies, fought against the cultivators in the shadows.

The Lord of the Shadow Realm stood in the center of the shadows, arms crossed, his long black dress fluttering in the wind, staring coldly at the Buddha of Withered Zen opposite him, his eyes full of indifference.

However, the Shadow Realm Master had no intention of making a move. Although she could ensure the killing of the Dry Zen Buddha if she did, it would render their entire plan futile, which is why she refrained from doing so.

On the other side, after receiving news that the Xuanbing Realm was under siege, the Sword Sect Ancestor, Blood Slaughter God, and others immediately began to rush from all directions, including the Rift Universe, as well as several high-level Realm Lords who had been gathered during the conquest of the Yin Realm Starfield, all heading towards the Xuanbing Realm.

An unprecedented interdimensional war broke out.

The Shadow Realm Lord led the Shadow Clan and six high-level Realm Lords to besiege the Profound Ice Realm. The Sword Sect Ancestor and Blood Slaughter God attacked the Shadow Realm Lord and others from the outside. The Heavenly Yin Realm Lord and his group lay in ambush, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Rift Universe. As soon as the Rift Universe appeared, they would immediately take action, destroying the Rift Universe and killing the Sword Sect Ancestor and others at the same time.

When the Rift appeared on the battlefield, the situation was already extremely tense. In order to force everyone to gather in the main battlefield, the Shadow Lord had already made a move against the Dry Zen Buddha.

Although the Buddha of Withered Zen does not yet possess the combat power of the Dao Realm, he has withstood three blows from the Lord of the Shadow Realm without dying, thanks to his sixteen-foot golden body. The fact that his Buddha blood covered his golden body only made it more dazzling.

The Sword Sect Ancestor and Blood Slaughter God were held back by a group of high-level Realm Lords on the other side, and the battlefield situation was a mess.

The instant the Rift appeared,

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm personally led the army of the Three Yin Realms and appeared instantly. The Blood Soul Banner unfurled a ten-thousand-foot-long blood curtain, enveloping the entire Rift Universe. The bone claws controlled by the Lord of the Earthly Yin Realm emerged from the ground, blocking the possible escape routes of the Rift Universe like a dense forest.

On the bridge of the Rift Universe, Ji Yu looked at the flashing red dots on the star map with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid most of their elite forces are here, including the Three Yin Realm Lords and the Shadow Realm Lord."

“Evil gods and the undead are also here.”

Li Mu, who was standing nearby, promptly reminded them that even though the other party had been concealing their aura, it was impossible for Li Mu to hide it.

"Is this a trap? They want to achieve their goal in one fell swoop. We urge Fellow Daoist Li to take action!"

Ji Yu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. During the period of conquering the Yin Realm Star Domain, Li Mu only took action when attacking high-level realms. However, since three of the eight high-level realm masters were promoted to the top level and five died, only ten high-level realms remained in the entire Yin Realm Star Domain.

Six of them were controlled by the other side, and four were captured by them. All of these were done by Li Mu personally, and he also recruited three high-level realm lords.

However, this fighting force is still insufficient against a group of top-tier realm lords. Only if Li Mu takes action can they win. And they are guaranteed to win.

Li Mu nodded. The training was almost complete. If they wanted to advance further, they would need different origins. The origins of the Shadow Realm, including the origins of the Flame Fiend Realm and the Blood Prison Realm, were perfectly suited to the Valley Master of Brahma Valley and the Blood Slaughter God, and could help them break through.

Dealing with the Weak Water Realm and the Demonic Monk Realm, two of the other six high-level realms, would allow the Sea-Suppressing King and the Dry Zen Buddha to advance in rank. This battle would be the one to completely conquer the Yin Realm Star Domain.

"Leave the six top-tier realm lords to me; you can handle the rest."

Before Li Mu finished speaking, his figure disappeared, leaving only his voice echoing in the Rift Universe.

In the next instant, the battlefield, which had been muddy and had reached its limit, suddenly began to turn around, because the four top experts on the side of the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord had all disappeared, and the Rift Universe, which had just been controlled by the Blood Soul Banner, had actually appeared on the battlefield.

Having absorbed the power of nearly a hundred realms' origins, the Rift Universe's main cannon strike is now equivalent to a full-force strike from a high-level realm lord. Moreover, the Rift Universe has an inexhaustible reserve of energy, and could keep firing for decades or even centuries. With such an unconsumed force joining the battlefield, coupled with the complete disappearance of the enemy's top-tier forces, the battlefield situation instantly began to reverse.

As Li Mu's figure appeared in the void, the Lord of the Necromancer Realm was activating an array, preparing to bring the Rift Universe into the range of the Locking Talisman. The Lord of the Yin Realm, meanwhile, controlled a crimson light barrier to surround the Rift Universe. The bone talisman in the Lord of the Necromancer Realm's hand glowed eerily, and spatial fluctuations spread like ripples on water. The Locking Talisman was about to form; once it did, the Rift Universe would be unable to escape.

"Since you've set up this meeting, why don't we discuss it elsewhere?" Li Mu's voice was calm yet carried an irresistible pressure. Chaotic energy surged from his palm, transforming into a gray vortex. The instant the vortex spun, the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord and the others, even the Shadow Realm Lord in the distance, felt the scene before them change drastically. The light screen of the Blood Soul Banner, the shadow of the bronze coffin, and the Shadow Realm Lord's black mist were all swallowed up by the vortex!
"Not good! It's a domain!" The demon god phantom of the evil god realm master waved all six arms, but was bounced off by the chaotic energy at the edge of the vortex, and the protective demonic runes shattered inch by inch.

The next instant, the six of them found themselves in a hazy, gray domain. There were no stars, no boundaries, only chaotic currents churning like raging waves. Li Mu stood in the center of the domain, his blue robes motionless amidst the currents.

"This is the Chaos Domain. Your formations are useless here." Li Mu flicked his finger, and billions of chaotic runes appeared at the edge of the domain, completely sealing off the entire space.

"Today, I will experience firsthand the methods of you top-tier realm lords."

With a smile on his face and an elegant demeanor, Li Mu gestured for Tian Yin and the others to make their move.

The Heavenly Yin Realm Lord's face turned ashen, and the Profound Yin Banner unfurled once more: "Arrogant brat! Do you really think we're afraid of you? We can fight the Yin Realm King, and we might just be able to kill you!"

He and the two realm masters, Di Yin and Xuan Yin, simultaneously formed hand seals. The three Xuan Yin banners transformed into three black dragons with ferocious heads. Blood droplets dripping from their fangs condensed into runes in the air. As more and more blood droplets appeared, the runes became more and more complex. In just a few breaths, a great formation was completely completed.

"Three Yin Annihilate the Spirit!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm roared, and three black dragons roared as they charged toward Li Mu. Wherever they passed, the chaotic energy was corroded and created holes, which were immediately restored the next moment. However, this was enough to show the power of this killing formation.

After all, it was prepared for the King of the Underworld. If it didn't have any strength, how could it be left to the King of the Underworld? This is the ultimate killing move of the Three Underworld Lords who merged the resentful souls of all realms. It has trapped and killed several top realm lords.

Moreover, they immediately unleashed the strongest killing move of the formation without any hesitation, determined to kill in one blow.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead formed a sword shape with his left hand, unleashing a chaotic sword aura. The instant the sword aura collided with the black dragon, the vengeful spirits attached to the dragon melted away like ice and snow, and the dragon's body disintegrated inch by inch in the chaotic aura, ultimately transforming into three wisps of black mist that were swallowed by the Dao Domain.

"Impossible!" the Earth Yin Realm Lord exclaimed in shock. The black dragon was composed of the vengeful spirits suppressed in their Xuan Yin Banner, and the dragon's head was formed by the vengeful spirit of a former top-level realm lord, still retaining the power of his former life. This was the kind of preparation the Battle King Realm Lord should have made.

However, their strongest formation was surprisingly vulnerable when facing Li Mu.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Lord of the Evil God Realm attacked. His three-headed, six-armed demon god phantom wielded a demonic blade and slashed down. The blade's light was as black as ink, tearing open six spatial rifts: "Taste my Destruction Demon Blade!"

The demonic blade charged forward with immense power, slashing towards Li Mu, but stopped in front of him. A grayish-brown barrier of air blocked the blade, emitting a piercing scraping sound, but it failed to penetrate even an inch.

On the contrary, the laws of destruction on the demonic blade were assimilated by the chaotic energy, and fine cracks appeared on the blade.

"A young child wielding a knife."

Li Mu flicked his finger, and a wisp of chaotic energy spread along the demonic blade. The left arm of the demon god's phantom exploded, and the evil god realm lord groaned and staggered back, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

This demon god was merely a recent fusion created by the Evil God Realm Lord, while the demon blade was the weapon of the previous demon god, hence Li Mu's assessment that it was like a child wielding a blade. If the Evil God Realm Lord's demon god were the same one that fought the Yin Realm King, perhaps it would have piqued Li Mu's interest.

Before the demon god's phantom left arm exploded, the Shadow Realm Lord and the Death Realm Lord had already launched a joint attack.

The Shadow Realm Lord's ten clones merged into the chaotic energy flow, each wielding a black spear imbued with the deadly poison of the Poisonous Miasma Realm, stabbing towards Li Mu's back from different directions; the Death Realm Lord hurled the bronze coffin into the air, the lid opened, and a torrent of billions of corpses crashed in like a tidal wave, the Netherworld fire burning from the corpses capable of incinerating even the soul.

The chaotic energy around Li Mu automatically circulated, forming an invisible protective shield. The moment the black spear pierced the shield, it turned into black mist. The deadly poison of the Poisonous Miasma Realm was dissolved the instant it came into contact with the chaotic energy.

The torrent of corpses crashed against the protective barrier like waves pounding against rocks. The burning Netherworld Fire was drawn into the chaotic energy and became nourishment for the Dao Domain.

"Die!"

The Shadow Realm Master appeared in person, and the shadow runes on her dark gauze dress surged, attempting to peel away Li Mu's shadow. This was a forbidden secret technique of the Shadow Clan, which had once instantly killed a Realm Master of the same level.

This is also the Shadow Lord's most powerful trump card. Once the shadow is stripped away, the main body will fall into a deep sleep and be at the mercy of others.

However, the chaotic energy beneath Li Mu's feet surged, and the shadow turned into gray mist the moment it came into contact with the energy flow. The backlash from the failed secret technique caused the Shadow Realm Master to spit out a mouthful of blood essence.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Underworld abruptly turned the bronze coffin upside down. The runes on the coffin lit up, and a skeleton slowly sat up from inside.

The moment they saw the skeleton, the Lord of the Three Yin Realms and even the Lord of the Evil God Realm couldn't help but gasp.

"These are the remains of the previous King of the Underworld? You actually refined them?"

The Lord of the Yin Realm was filled with disbelief. He never expected that the old necromancer would secretly refine the remains of the previous Yin Realm King into a necromancer.

The Lord of the Underworld stared at Li Mu with a sinister look in his eyes.

"You killed the King of the Underworld, fine, but why did you have to cut off his head! Don't you know that an incomplete corpse will affect the power of the undead!"

As they spoke, the skeleton inside the ancient coffin had completely risen, and the eerie green ghost fire within the skull began to burn more and more fiercely, its aura rising steadily until it reached the strength of a top-tier realm lord, and even showed signs of continuing to grow.

Li Mu simply shook his head at this.

"If the dead could be relied upon, then they wouldn't be dead in the first place. Don't you understand this basic principle?"

Li Mu said helplessly, and in the next instant, the Chaos Giant Axe appeared in his hand, and a chaotic aura spread out. At this moment, the group of top realm lords finally came to their senses, and recalling Li Mu's strange methods just now, they were all filled with fear. (End of this chapter)
