Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu knew that what Gu Mang was asking about was not just a simple name, but a lineage, a law, and a source powerful enough to shake its entire realm.

Li Mu raised his eyes and looked up, his deep eyes reflecting the ancient, sky-covering silhouette. He smiled faintly and replied, "My name is Li Mu, and I come from the chaos."

No further words are needed; his existence and his Dao Domain are the best response.

"Chaos..." Within the ancient beast's black hole-like "eye," it seemed as if countless laws were surging. It tried its best to deduce and analyze, but found that the word "chaos" far exceeded its understanding of all laws and phenomena.

It was an ancient and grand concept that transcended the very origin of the Xirang Realm and even surpassed the understanding of all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Retreat or not!" Gu Mang suddenly raised his voice, and his majestic aura pressed down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, firmly locking Li Mu and the Chaotic Dao Domain beneath his feet: "This realm is my Great Dao! Your unauthorized entry is blasphemy!"

Before the words had even finished, the entire Xirang Realm trembled violently, as if a primordial beast that had been sleeping for countless ages had been completely awakened!
Rumble——!
Deep within the earth, countless ancient boundary patterns erupted like molten lava—the primordial laws imprinted since the birth of this realm! The boundary patterns intertwined and transformed in an instant into chains of profound yellow that pierced through heaven and earth, as imposing as mountains, sealing off all the void around Li Mu.

The powerful figures of the Immortal Dynasty felt their bodies sink. Although they were not directly bound by chains, the immense pressure of the laws made their minds feel like they were being rejected by the entire world.

The Sword Sect Ancestor's knuckles turned white as he gripped the sword hilt tightly, clearly sensing that the Xuanhuang chains carried the weight of billions of years of sedimentation from the Breath of Earth Realm, and the unshakeable power of its rules.

Li Mu remained calm, like a gentle breeze, standing quietly amidst the chaos.

Li Mu did not rush to make a move. Instead, he closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully sensing the source of the Primordial Chaos flowing within the chains. The Great Dao of Chaos encompasses everything and gives rise to all laws. He was taking this Dao into his own body with a transcendent attitude.

The ancient beast's "eyes" narrowed sharply—what it sensed from Li Mu was not fear, but an almost greedy analysis and devouring intent! It realized that its own domain's origin was being silently "stolen" and "discovered" by the other party!
"Arrogant!" Gu Mang roared, his voice shaking the universe. Wherever the sound waves passed, space shattered like glass, revealing a dark void.

"With the essence of the Breath of Earth, I summon—the Primordial Yellow Dragon! To annihilate all heretics!"

hold head high--!!

A dragon's roar erupted from the deepest part of the realm, ancient and profound, carrying the majesty of the earth's creation, as if a god who had slept for billions of years was awakening here.

The entire realm trembled violently, mountains collapsed, rivers and seas dried up, and countless ley lines of earth energy were forcibly extracted and gathered in the void.

Nine dazzling yellow beams shot up from the depths of the Earth's core, tearing through the sky and piercing into the starry expanse!
It was formed from the most ancient essence of the Breath of Earth, each one stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Its body was formed from the pure laws of the earth, its scales as majestic as mountains, and its claws as sharp as peaks. It was surrounded by the primordial energy of Xuanhuang, and its eyes reflected the vicissitudes and tyranny of antiquity.

Nine ancient yellow dragons, each possessing power comparable to a peak Immortal Venerable of a Celestial Dynasty! They are guardian beasts forcibly awakened by the ancient wilderness sacrificing the origin of the realm!

Nine dragons soared through the sky, obscuring the sun and turning the entire heavens a pale yellow. They opened their enormous mouths, their roars like thunder, and with overwhelming power, they swooped down!

Nine dragons emerged simultaneously, and nine torrents of laws converged into a devastating force, directly confronting Li Mu! Wherever they passed, space shattered, all laws wailed, and even the edge of the Chaos Dao Domain rippled violently.

Everyone in the Immortal Dynasty was horrified.

“Nine…nine ancient yellow dragons!” The Valley Master of Burning Heaven’s voice trembled. He had never imagined that such terrifying power was hidden in this world.

The Sword Sect Ancestor was deathly pale, his sword groaned mournfully, and his face showed terror.

King Zhenhai gritted his teeth and activated his profound power, but he could not withstand the pressure of the nine dragons and could only watch helplessly as the world-destroying strike hurtled towards Li Mu.

Li Mu remained calm and composed, slowly raising his left hand, where a dark light gradually condensed in his palm.

The light was not dazzling, but rather profound and restrained, as if it had swallowed all the colors of the world and returned to nothingness. It had no sharp edge, yet it was filled with a primordial power that opened up the chaos and reshaped the universe.

"When chaos was created, all things returned to one."

Li Mu's voice was soft and ethereal, yet it clearly penetrated the depths of everyone's Dao heart.

As he spoke, the light suddenly surged, transforming into a simple, ancient axe—

The Axe of Chaos!

This axe is neither gold nor iron, neither stone nor jade; it seems to have been forged from the primordial chaos. No luster is visible on its blade, yet it reflects the birth and death of all things, the cycle of the universe. Unadorned and without ornamentation, it bears only the most primordial and purest traces of the Dao, carrying the boundless principles of the Great Dao!

The Chaos Giant Axe hovered silently beside Li Mu, yet it caused the world to lose its color. Even the might of the Nine Dragons appeared insignificant before this axe.

Li Mu made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the Chaos Giant Axe silently fell into his palm.

Li Mu simply raised his axe overhead.

At this moment, all was silent; the light dimmed and the sound vanished.

Time, space, laws, all things... all froze.

"cut."

A single word, uttered softly, seemed to sever eternity and shatter the cycle of reincarnation.

Li Mu wielded his axe.

There was no roar, no cracking of light, only a chaotic stream of light that was almost invisible streaking across the sky.

That trajectory was no ordinary slash; it was the erasure of "existence" itself and the rupture of the root of "law"!

hold head high--!
The roar of the nine dragons came to an abrupt halt.

The first yellow dragon was brushed past by the flowing light, silently splitting apart! The cut was like a mirror, and the thick laws of the earth and the origin of life contained within it were all transformed into chaotic dust and returned to the void.

Then came the second, the third...

The chaotic light, unstoppable, swept past the nine yellow dragons at a speed beyond comprehension.

Pfft——!
The nine soft sounds almost overlapped.

The nine world-destroying yellow dragons were like bubbles before the Chaos Axe, neatly split in two from the center!
Before the dragon's body fell, it quickly disintegrated, returning to the primordial chaos. In the end, even the primordial chaos was assimilated by the chaos and dissipated into the world without a trace.

From the moment the axe was swung to the moment the nine dragons were annihilated, it was only a breath.

The world is dead silent.

All the powerful figures from the Immortal Dynasty were dumbfounded, utterly shocked!
Those are nine ancient yellow dragons, guardian deities summoned by the ancient wilderness through sacrificial offerings to the source of the world! Each one possesses the power to destroy the world!
But with a casual axe strike from Li Mu, they vanished like dust. This was beyond their understanding of "power," almost a miracle!
Their gazes toward Li Mu were now filled with nothing but awe and reverence!

Li Mu slowly sheathed his axe, which then transformed into a faint light and disappeared into his palm.

His calm gaze fell once again on Gu Mang.

In Gu Mang's black, abyss-like "eyes," there was an extreme solemnity, utterly genuine...

Shocking!

It clearly sensed that the axe not only annihilated the Yellow Dragon, but also directly severed the fundamental connection between it and the Yellow Dragon, completely erasing the beings that carried its power of origin from the level of "existence"!

This is no longer a contest of strength, but a crushing defeat at the level of the Great Dao. The Great Dao of the Breath of Earth is as insignificant as dust in the face of the opponent's Great Dao of Chaos!
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Li Mu asked domineeringly, his voice as still as water. "Feel free to use them on me."

It is not a provocation, but an absolute confidence, a firm belief in the supreme truth of one's own path!
Li Mu stood in the void, his robes fluttering lightly, his chaotic Dao Domain spreading out around him, as if he were one with heaven and earth, yet transcended all things.

He is the Lord of Chaos, the source of all paths!
The people of the Immortal Dynasty were filled with excitement and their blood was surging! They had never seen such an overwhelming figure! He single-handedly confronted the ruler of a realm and annihilated his strongest divine power with the flick of his wrist!
Such spirit, such strength, truly the pinnacle of cultivation! The ancient, colossal body trembled slightly. It clearly sensed that the aura emanating from Li Mu had long surpassed the realm of "outsiders," and was now a being capable of threatening its very essence, even exceeding its own existence…

A terrifying existence!
It never imagined that in the vast sea of ​​stars, there could be such a being, capable of crushing an entire realm with the power of a single person!
"You..." Gu Mang's voice was as deep as muffled thunder, revealing an unprecedented solemnity, and even a trace of... fear.

Li Mu did not respond, but remained silent, gazing at him. His patience was not out of benevolence, but rather a desire to use this opportunity to delve deeper into this world and touch the ancient stirrings hidden at its source. The ancient wilderness was the best guiding stone.

What Li Mu wanted was not to expel them, but to completely subjugate this realm!

Suddenly, Li Mu's gaze turned to a certain spot in the Xirang Realm—the very place where the exploration team had previously discovered the ancient forbidden zone and where he had sensed ancient fluctuations.

When Gu Mang unleashed his full power to activate the Boundary Source, and was then severely injured by the Chaos Axe, the ancient tremor hidden deep within the Boundary became increasingly active and clear.

This is his true goal!
As if sensing something, Gu Mang's black hole-like "eyes" suddenly contracted, and it let out a low roar. Its enormous body began to twist violently, and an even more violent and primal law fluctuation erupted from its body!

"I am the master of the Breath of Earth! This realm shall not be desecrated!" Its roar was filled with resentment and unwillingness. It knew that if it did not fight with all its might today, this realm would completely fall into the hands of the other party!

"With my very origin, I offer this sacrifice to the ancient, fertile land—the soldiers of the realm!"

boom! boom! boom!
The entire landform of the Xirang Realm collapsed violently, turning mountains to dust and rivers and seas into nothingness!

Deep within the earth, ancient and magnificent runes surged into the sky like a torrent, their color no longer dark yellow, but rather carrying a hint of the vastness of the primordial chaos.

This is the most core essence of the Xirang Realm, the foundation that supports the operation of this realm! At this moment, it is being forcibly extracted by the ancient beast, and is being condensed in the void with the force of self-destruction!

The powerful figures of the Immortal Dynasty felt as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and the entire world seemed to be entering its final days. The main ship beneath their feet trembled violently, and the grand array of the Immortal Port flickered erratically, on the verge of collapse.

"It...it wants to sacrifice the very essence of this world to deliver its final blow!" King Zhenhai exclaimed in horror.

The Buddha of the Withered Zen pressed his palms together and chanted softly, his eyes filled with compassion. He clearly sensed that the vitality of all living beings was being forcibly stripped away by the ancient beast and merged into the terrifying weapon that was gathering.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the boundless ancient power of the primordial source slowly condensed in the void, transforming into a...

Earthen yellow giant sword!

This sword has no physical form; it is formed from the pure primordial laws of the realm. It has no guard or hilt, only a straight blade, yet it exudes an unparalleled pressure that can suppress eternity and shatter the universe!

Within the sword, countless phantom images of spirits rose and fell, wailing in agony. Each one represented a sacrificed being, and their resentment and power were all integrated into this "weapon of the earthly realm"!
This sword gathers the essence of billions of years of the Breath of Earth Realm, carrying all the power and will of Gu Mang as the realm's lord! It is the final swan song of this realm, and also Gu Mang's strongest weapon...

revenge!

"Outsiders! Today, with the armies of my realm, I will forever imprison you here, turning you into nourishment for the land!" The ancient, primal voice, filled with boundless rage and madness, reverberated throughout the universe.

Its ancient and colossal body merged with the "soldiers of the earth," transforming into a towering, earthen-yellow giant shadow!

The giant shadow slowly raised its hand, and the giant sword formed from the source of the realm pointed directly at Li Mu!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure instantly locked onto Li Mu, the surrounding space completely solidified, and all laws were sealed!

This is a true killing blow! It is the final strike from the Ancient Wilderness, a desperate gamble with the entire realm at stake!
Li Mu's gaze remained as still as a deep pool as he sensed the terrifying power contained within the "Boundary Soldiers" and also perceived the increasingly clear ancient tremor within them.

Li Mu understood that this was Gu Mang's ultimate trump card, and also the best opportunity for him to get closer to that throbbing feeling...

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, a barely perceptible curve.

"good."

Li Mu spoke softly, a hint of anticipation in his voice, and laughed, "I will show you what true...chaos is!"

Li Mu raised his right hand, and the Chaos Axe reappeared in his palm. Its dark light engulfed everything and gave birth to all things.

At the same time, he slowly raised his left palm, aiming at the "Boundary Weapon" formed from the condensed essence of the realm.

"Chaos Treasure Palace, open!"

Om-!
A silent wave rippled out from his left palm.

It wasn't an explosion of power, but rather the... opening of a world!
In the void, a dark crack silently opened, revealing not nothingness within, but a vast and boundless chaotic world!

Within it, the Milky Way reverses, the sun and moon rise and fall, mountains and rivers flow, and all living things are born and die, all derived from the chaotic energy, reincarnating and evolving within it, containing endless mysteries!

That was a real grotto-heaven world, a realm created by the Great Dao of Chaos...

Chaotic Cave Heaven!

Once this grotto-heaven unfolds, it instantly engulfs all the light and darkness and all laws of the universe, transcending the realm of the Breath of Earth with a superior posture, just like a high-dimensional universe descending to the mortal world!
"What...what is this?"

The ancient beast let out a horrified roar. It could feel that its own origin was trembling and submitting before that cave heaven!
That grotto-heaven is more ancient, more magnificent, and more... complete than its Breath of Earth!
Li Mu's eyes were indifferent. He held the Chaos Axe high in his right hand and the Chaos Cave Heaven in his left palm. The two great Chaos treasures were activated at the same time, and his Dao Domain expanded with a roar, covering the ancient wilderness and the "soldiers of the earth realm".
"My chaos can shatter all laws, and can also... devour all worlds!"

Li Mu's voice was like the imperial decree of the Great Dao, shaking the heavens!

At this moment, Li Mu seemed to transform into the embodiment of chaos, wielding power over birth and death, and dominating all things.

Li Mu's eyes sharpened, and he pressed down with his left palm. The vast chaotic cave suddenly expanded, like a newly opened universe, enveloping Gu Mang and the "Boundary Weapon" formed from the full power of the world's origin!

"town!"

A single word reveals the truth, and the law follows.

Within the Chaos Cave Heaven, billions of stars revolve, the sun and moon alternate, and endless chaotic energy surges in from all directions, transforming into massive chains spanning the Milky Way. Runes on these chains appear and disappear, all manifestations of the Great Dao of Chaos, instantly entangling the towering, earthen-yellow giant shadow of the ancient wilderness.

The ancient beast roared in shock and anger, and the giant shadow wielded the "Boundary Weapon" to fiercely slash at the Chaos Chains!

Where the sword's edge passed, the primordial energy surged forth, carrying the weight of an entire realm, enough to cleave through the sea of ​​stars and cleave down the sun and moon!
However, the chaotic chains trembled slightly, and the Dao patterns on them flowed, swallowing and dissolving the immense power completely, as if they had been plunged into a bottomless abyss without causing even the slightest ripple.

Chaos encompasses all things and can also transform all laws!

"Do not--!"

Gu Mang let out an unwilling roar, feeling its connection with the Xirang Realm being rapidly severed. The chaotic chains not only bound its form but also began to imprison its original spiritual consciousness!
The Chaos Giant Axe held high in Li Mu's right hand did not strike down; it merely hovered silently, its blade emitting a faint glow, locking onto the void and cutting off all possibility of escape for the ancient beast.

Li Mu slightly closed his left palm, as if holding the entire Chaotic Cave Heaven in his hand and slowly pulling it in.

"Enter my treasure palace, refine your myriad techniques, and return to my primordial chaos."

The chaotic cave roared and spun, generating an irresistible suction force. The enormous, earthen-yellow shadow of the ancient beast began to twist and deform, being enveloped and pulled by the chaotic energy layer by layer, dragged inch by inch into the depths of the cave.

Gu Mang struggled fiercely, drawing upon the remaining power of the Breath of Earth, and unleashed countless rays of Xuanhuang divine light from his body, each capable of piercing through the vast world and shattering stars!

However, all of this, when it crashed into the chaotic energy, was like a mud ox entering the sea; it merely caused a few ripples in the surging chaotic sea of ​​energy before quickly subsiding. Instead, the energy assimilated and absorbed the power it had unleashed, making the chaotic energy even more vast. (End of Chapter)
