Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

As time went on, the outcome of the battle below was no longer in doubt.

Without the presence of a top-tier realm lord, the Shadow Clan and the high-level realm alliance instantly collapsed. The main cannon of the Rift Universe roared, and the bluish-gray chaotic beam of light, like the scythe of death, shredded the stubborn remnants into stardust.

The defeat was swift and devastating. Several high-ranking realm lords of the opposing side also perished one after another, leaving only a few remnants to flee into the depths of the Yin Realm Starfield.

"Follow me to fight the enemy!"

Blood Slaughter God roared, his blood energy surging and transforming into a blood rainbow as he pursued the enemy army.

By the time the war was completely over, it was already the next day. In this battle, all the high-level world lords on the opposing side were killed, the top-level world lords suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of other mid-level and low-level world lords were even more severe. The Yin Realm Star Domain Allied Forces were already teetering on the brink of collapse, with no strong figures in command, and they were in danger of collapsing at any moment.

On the other hand, consider Li Mu's side.

Not only did they suffer no losses in high-level combat power, but they also easily occupied dozens of new realms. These realm lords either submitted and voluntarily handed over the origin of their realms, or resisted to the death and were killed. After the war, Li Mu and his group directly occupied nearly two-thirds of the Yin Realm Starfield, and conquering the rest was only a matter of time.

Having only been in the Three Thousand Realms for four short years, they are already close to occupying one of the nine major star domains and standing on equal footing with the other eight king realms.

Moreover, the growth rate of Blood Slaughter God and his group is outrageously fast. Even if all of them went into seclusion within four years, their cultivation would probably not improve much, let alone break through to the peak of the Extreme Dao Realm. Furthermore, their combat power has broken through the shackles of the Extreme Dao Realm. Now, even Emperor Qian Yuan is probably no match for them.

Li Mu stood suspended in the void, flicking his fingertips, and four completely different primal forces flew out from the Chaos Treasure Palace, hovering in front of Blood Slaughter God, Burning Heaven Valley Master, Sea Suppressor King, and Dry Zen Buddha.

The group looked at the four clusters of primal power with fervent eyes.

"Blood Slaughter, this is the origin of the Blood Prison Realm, which can complete your Blood Fiend Dao."

Li Mu pointed to the crimson, blood-red ball of light, within which countless vengeful spirits could be vaguely seen howling: "After you devour it, your Blood Fiend True Body will likely break through the extreme shackles. At that time, your combat power will naturally rise accordingly, allowing you to break through to the combat power of a high-level World Lord."

Blood Slaughter God's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood banner trembled violently in his palm. Without hesitation, he absorbed the Blood Prison Origin into his body. In an instant, the patterns on his blood-red armor moved like living things, resonating with the Blood Prison Origin. Bloodlust surged around him like a river, and billions of blood soldiers appeared in the river, emitting deafening battle roars.

"Burning Heaven, the origin of the Flame Fiend Realm belongs to you."

Li Mu's fingertip turned to a leaping crimson flame, which carried a violent will capable of incinerating everything: "This fire can melt the barriers between realms. When it merges with your World-Burning Fire, your body will grow stronger and stronger under the tempering of this flame, eventually forging an indestructible body."

As the fiery lotus bloomed in the palm of the Valley Master of Burning Heaven, the moment the Fiery Essence was poured into it, the lotus suddenly swelled to ten thousand feet, transforming into a giant clad in fiery armor. The giant spewed forth world-burning true flames, scorching the void with black marks wherever it passed, even igniting the surrounding air currents, forming a dazzling sea of ​​fire.

“King Zhenhai, the origin of the Weak Water Realm is the same as your Great Dao of Returning to the Void.”

Li Mu presented a ball of primordial energy, its surface rippled with the Daoist principles of both gentleness and strength: "This water can withstand immense power and penetrate metal and stone. If you integrate it into your Great Dao, it will help you reach the pinnacle, and you will be in control of the Yin Realm and the waters of the star field."

The Zhenhai King's body was surrounded by the Guixu Tide Disc, and the essence of the Weak Water dripped into the center of the disc, instantly transforming into a towering wave. Within the wave, the phantoms of aquatic creatures could be vaguely seen. The power of the tides intertwined with the essence of the Weak Water, condensing on his body into a layer of blue armor composed of billions of water droplets. Each water droplet on the armor contained the essence of an entire ocean.

"Ku Chan, though the origin of the demonic monk realm contains malevolent energy, it also hides the purest Buddhist essence."

Li Mu pushed the last gray-black primordial energy toward the withered Zen Buddha, where Buddhist chants and demonic howls intertwined, forming a strange balance: "Use your sixteen-foot golden body to purify its malevolent energy. After fusion, you can build a Vajra body, and your Buddhist intent will also improve."

The Buddha, in a low voice, chanted Buddhist mantras, his sixteen-foot-tall golden body radiating a luminous Buddhist light. The moment the demonic monk's essence touched the Buddhist light, it emitted a piercing shriek. Countless demonic phantoms attempted to break through the light, but were suppressed by the Sanskrit inscriptions on the golden body's surface, ultimately transforming into pure Buddhist power and merging into the golden body. A pale golden relic appeared between the Buddha's brows, its rotation emanating a peaceful aura that purified all evil.

The moment the four began absorbing the source, strange phenomena arose in the heavens and earth.

Above the Blood Slaughter God, blood clouds gathered into a river, and the phantoms of blood soldiers in the river solidified into a blood-red legion that spanned the galaxy. In the center of the legion's formation, a large banner engraved with skulls rose, bearing the words "Blood Fiend"—the evolved form of his Blood Banner. Wherever it passed, the stars were stained blood-red.

The sea of ​​fire surrounding the Valley Master of Burning Heaven suddenly receded, transforming into a suspended fire pearl. Flames swirled across the pearl's surface, spewing out rays of sunlight that distorted the surrounding void. Inside the fire pearl, the Valley Master of Burning Heaven sat cross-legged, his skin exhibiting a texture like burnt glass; every inch of his flesh was burning, yet he showed no signs of damage—a testament to his fiery body tempering.

The void beneath the feet of the King of Zhenhai transformed into an endless deep sea, with the Guixu Tide Disc suspended on its surface. The ebb and flow of the tides resonated with the waters of several surrounding realms. At the bottom of this deep sea, a colossal dragon formed from Weak Water slowly rose, its head held high, emitting a roar that shook the universe. The water patterns on its scales flowed with the laws of water—this marked the beginning of its ascension to the position of ruler of the Yin Realm's waters.

The golden body of the Buddha of Withered Zen continued to expand rapidly, eventually transforming into a colossal golden Buddha reaching to the heavens. The Buddha's eyes were slightly closed, and the Sanskrit uttered from its mouth condensed into pagodas in the air. The relics atop these pagodas emitted a soft golden light, purifying all the lingering malevolent energy from the battlefield. Behind the Buddha, a halo of Nirvana fire appeared, and as the halo rotated, countless Buddhas could be vaguely seen seated on lotus thrones—a sign that the Vajra Body was about to be perfected.

The four sat cross-legged in the void, each occupying a corner, without affecting each other, and began to refine and absorb the power of origin.

Watching this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but nod slightly. After the four of them completely absorbed the power of origin, they would at least be at the level of a high-level world lord. This would allow them to directly enter major worlds such as the Blood Prison World, consolidate their foundation, and then absorb the power of origin from other worlds. Reaching the top-level world would only be a matter of time.

After conquering the Yin Realm Star Domain, the other realms will come next.

During this period, Li Mu has gained a general understanding of the Three Thousand Realms through the Shadow Star Core of the Death Realm. Although it is nominally called the Nine Star Domains, there is a huge realm in the center of the Nine Star Domains, which is called the Central Realm.

Within that central realm, there exist various star domain races. Even the mighty Nine Kings Realm is not invincible within the central realm. There are also various imperial and royal families, all of which are powerful clans with peerless experts in charge. Legend has it that their realms have all broken through to the Extreme Dao Realm, and they have mastered the methods to break through to the Extreme Dao Realm. Their strength is no less than that of the King Realm.

Each of the royal realms also has its own power in the central realm. Even the Yin Realm King has established the Taiyin Sect in the central realm, which is a second-rate sect.

This was a secret that Li Mu had never known before, and it wasn't even recorded in the Three Thousand Realms Map. It was only thanks to the Dark Shadow Star Core of the Death Realm that Li Mu learned about it.

And those various methods that couldn't be matched with those of the King Realm and were discovered near the Hidden Mist Realm before can now be understood as to where they came from. Not only is the Nine King Realms preparing to open the Hidden Mist Realm passage, but the top sects and families of the central realm are also keeping an eye on this place.

Li Mu toyed with the Shadow Star Core in his hand, gazing into the distance towards the central realm.

"So there are people who have broken through to the Extreme Dao Realm? That's interesting."

Several months passed in the blink of an eye. In a remote realm at the border between the Yang Realm and the Yin Realm, the Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm sat cross-legged in a forbidden area, refining the Blood Soul Banner.

The beings from the surrounding dozen or so realms have all been sacrificed by the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord and absorbed as nourishment for the Blood Soul Banner. The vengeful spirits of several of the realm lords have also become the blood light flowing on the Blood Soul Banner.

Among the blood-red light, two were particularly thick, even showing a faint tendency to transform into blood dragons. It should be noted that all the blood-red light had to be merged together to form a blood dragon, and the vengeful spirits of the two brothers, Di Yin and Di You, were only one step away from becoming blood dragons.

This is not only because of their power in life, but more importantly, because they were originally the masters of the Xuan Yin Banner, which is also the master of the Blood Soul Banner. Therefore, their fusion with the Blood Soul Banner is more complete, allowing them to use their power in life to the maximum extent. In addition, they died at the hands of Tian Yin, making their resentment even stronger. Under these combined conditions, their blood light is so powerful.

At this moment, the Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm is fusing dozens of other blood lights into the blood lights of the two brothers. Once successful, not only will the blood dragon be formed, but the strength of the Blood Soul Banner will also be enhanced. In addition, the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord has also absorbed the Great Dao Origin of the two brothers, so his strength will also increase significantly.

It can be said that the strength of the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord has leaped to a new level. Although he is not as strong as the Yin Realm King at his peak, he is not far behind. Moreover, the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord controls only the top-level realm. If the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord could control the power of the Yin Realm Star Domain at this time, he would probably be stronger than the Yin Realm King.

However, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yin have now become completely abandoned realms. The beings in these three realms were the first to be sacrificed by the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord.

He fought his way from the Yin Realm, destroying all the realms he encountered along the way, and the Blood Soul Banner also drained the original power of those realms. As a result, the Sword Sect Ancestor saved a lot of effort when he destroyed the hostile forces in the Yin Realm Star Domain.

Now that Li Mu and his group have completely taken control of the Yin Realm Star Domain, the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord has no choice but to retreat to a remote realm near the star domain barrier.

"Damn it, they said they'd come in a month, but it's been over eight months and they still haven't come! Are they treating me like a dog?!"

While refining the ritual, the Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm couldn't help but curse. He had initially thought that the Dark Realm and the Void Realm would really be reached in a month. After all, the Void Realm controlled the Great Dao of Space, and it would be no difficult for it to penetrate the boundary of the Star Domain.

But now more than eight months have passed, and when he tries to contact the Dark Realm through the token, the reply he gets is still "Coming soon, coming soon," which is just playing with him.

"That despicable couple! Their daughter is no better than that!"

After the ritual was completed, the Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm once again took out the dark token, then dripped a drop of blood into it, attempting to communicate with the Dark Realm.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the token responded, emitting a lazy female voice.

"What's the matter?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Yin Realm suppressed his anger and revealed a fawning expression.

“Your Highness Shadow, I have cleared all obstacles for the Dark Realm Army and the Sky Realm Army. All you need to do is come now, and you can immediately take control of the Yin Realm Star Domain! I will also offer you the essence of the Yin Realm Star Domain with both hands.”

After a long while, a sneer came from the token.

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't worry, we'll be there soon, we'll be there soon."

After that, the token remained silent.

Even with the Heavenly Yin Realm Lord's good temper and exceptional self-control, he couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed the token to the ground and began to curse loudly until he felt satisfied. Only then did he pick up the token again and carefully put it away.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Realm, some distance away, a girl who looked to be around twenty years old had just crushed a token.

"Does this Lord of the Underworld really think I'm stupid? If he had conquered the entire Underworld Starfield, would he let me pick up the spoils? He would probably have already climbed up to the throne of the King of the Underworld."

Opposite the little girl sat two figures, their faces completely obscured by black and blue mists.

"Some time ago, the Lord of the Five Elements Realm sent word that the King of the Underworld should be dead."

A voice came from within the blue mist. This voice was extremely peculiar; once heard, one would forget its characteristics and only remember what the speaker had said, with no other recollection possible.

The little girl then turned her gaze to the black mist, as if waiting for confirmation.

Until the same sound came from within the black mist.

“Yi Ni, what your father said is true, the King of the Underworld is indeed dead, but that doesn’t mean the Underworld Starfield is necessarily under the control of Tianyin. You were right to refuse him.”

The little girl, who was described as charming, pouted at that moment.

"It's all Father's fault for not telling me sooner. If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to Tianyin's request."

A kind smile emerged from the blue mist.

"The reason I don't want you to go is because it's dangerous."

"What danger could there be? The King of the Underworld is dead, so the strongest one is Tianyin. Pshaw, Tianyin can't even beat Second Uncle, let alone Aunt."

"She pouted and said."

However, both the blue and black mists remained silent. After a while, a voice rang out, indicating, "Four years ago, the Shadow Star Core I left in the Underworld Starfield was taken away. The person who took it is probably no weaker than the Underworld King." (End of Chapter)
