Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Outside the Netherworld Blood Realm, the void suddenly boiled.

Three colossal figures, spanning the galaxy, tore through the chaos and descended with overwhelming divine might. On the left, the true form of the Flame God appeared, his body wreathed in countless world-burning divine flames. Wherever he passed, stars turned into molten fire. His right arm held up a crimson bronze furnace that blotted out the sky, its mouth hanging upside down, spewing out blazing white divine flames that could refine all worlds—this was the very body of the World-Burning Furnace!
The void on the right was completely frozen. The Ice Skeleton Sovereign arrived, stepping on the eternally frozen star ring. Nine ice crystal skulls surrounded his body, howling. Each skull reflected the final scene of a frozen world. As the star ring rotated, the extreme cold path condensed into a physical chain, completely sealing off all escape routes of the Netherworld Blood Realm.

"Boom——!"

A ten-thousand-foot-long thunder dragon cleaved down from the sky, while the Eternal Thunder God stood proudly atop its head, holding in his palm a pool of thunder wreathed in purple lightning. Within the pool, countless thunder spirits surged, transforming into nine layers of overlapping thunderous prisons that pressed down, firmly suppressing the primal pulse of the Netherworld Blood Realm. The thunderous roar was like a tidal wave, shaking the Blood Realm's sky and causing spiderweb-like scorch marks to appear.

Three powerful pressures at the level of a realm master intertwined to form a destructive storm, causing the sea of ​​blood to churn and surge, and countless remnant souls to wail and perish.

"Hand over the origin of the Netherworld, and your lineage will not be destroyed."

The Flame God's voice boomed like a bell, and the World-Burning Furnace poured down a sky full of flames, scorching the branches and leaves of the Chaos Dao Tree, causing them to crackle.

With a flick of his finger, the Ice Skeleton Sovereign sent three mysterious ice shackles piercing through the void, aiming straight for Li Mu's three vital points: his brow, his dantian, and his Dao Fruit.

The Eternal Thunder God grinned and waved his hand, unleashing thousands of electric claws from the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison, reaching for the veins deep within the Blood Realm.

"wishful thinking."

Li Mu's green robes fluttered in the wind as the roots of the Chaos Dao Tree beneath his feet grew rapidly, shattering the oncoming Xuanbing shackles. The Dao Fruit of Annihilation on the branches shone brightly, and the gray aura surged against the sky, engulfing the fiery inferno. With his left hand, he made a fist, and the Chaos Sword Qi severed the lightning claws. With his right hand, he formed a seal and slammed it into the earth, stabilizing the violently trembling boundary veins.

"Stubborn to the end!" The nine skulls of the Ice Skeleton Sovereign roared in unison, and the Eternal Frozen Star Ring suddenly contracted. The edge of the Blood Realm, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was instantly frozen, and countless puppets and cultivators were turned into ice sculptures and shattered. The Flame God himself activated the furnace to overturn, and the blazing white divine flames poured in like a celestial river, scorching the Chaos Dao Domain, causing it to flicker uncertainly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Eternal Thunder God activated the source of the Thunder Pool, and the nine layers of Thunder Prison pressed down. Purple lightning snakes burrowed into the boundary veins, and the Blood Realm's land burst open with bottomless, scorched rifts. The Reincarnation Blood Pool boiled violently, and the black and white energies nearly collapsed.

Li Mu groaned, a wisp of chaotic energy escaping from the corner of his lips. Fine cracks appeared on the Dao Tree behind him, and more than ten Dao Fruits trembled simultaneously. The Dao Fruit of Annihilation suddenly detached from the branch, hanging above his head and transforming into a gray canopy, forcefully withstanding the pressure of the three Realm Lords.

"Initiate the Array!" Eternal Thunder God

A clear, resounding cry echoed across the battlefield, causing the remaining 100,000 Yin-Yang Reincarnation Puppets to simultaneously disintegrate. The immense energies of life and death merged into the Canopy of Annihilation, causing the gray halo to surge by 30%, temporarily resisting the crushing force of the World-Burning Furnace. Xiao Jingtian led the Immortal Dynasty fleet to form the Myriad Immortals Slaying Gods Formation, unleashing billions of sword lights that surged like a reversed galaxy, slashing towards the Eternally Frozen Star Ring.

"An ant trying to shake a tree." The Flame God sneered, and a golden crow flew out of the furnace, its wings spreading to cover a large part of the Blood Realm. The divine bird cried out, and the solar essence fire it spewed from its mouth evaporated the river of sword light. The Ice Skeleton Sovereign conjured the Xuanbing Dao Sword at his fingertips, and with a single strike, Xiao Jingtian's Xuan Armor shattered and he was sent flying thousands of miles away, and the Immortal Dynasty fleet was nearly half destroyed.

The Eternal Thunder God controlled a thunder dragon to swoop down, its claws tearing through the barrier of the Chaos Dao Domain, aiming straight for Li Mu's crown. In that critical moment, Li Mu's eyes snapped open, and the Canopy of Annihilation shattered with a deafening roar!
The Daoist energy surged like a tidal wave, the Golden Crow Divine Bird cried out in despair and vanished, the Xuanbing Dao Sword shattered inch by inch, and half of the Thunder Dragon's body turned into nothingness. The three Realm Lords swayed slightly, astonishment flashing in their eyes.

"The Dao Fruit of Nirvana has actually reached such a level..." The Flame God's true form's furnace spun again, and nine ancient flame patterns appeared at the bottom of the furnace. The terrifying suction force drew the sea of ​​blood from ten thousand miles away into the furnace for refining.

The Ice Skeleton Overlord clasped his hands together, and the eternally frozen star ring condensed into a giant ice-blue millstone that spun around. Wherever the millstone passed, space and time froze, and even the chaotic air currents turned into crystalline ice shards.

The Eternal Thunder God unleashed his innate thunder seal, merging the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison into a giant purple lightning hammer. Before the hammer even struck, the Blood Realm's land had already collapsed, revealing deep abysses and ravines.

Li Mu's Dao Tree swayed wildly, the origins of all realms overflowing like rivers, the Time Dao Fruits on its branches radiating silver light, and time itself reversing in certain areas, barely repairing a portion of the shattered Dao Domain. The Spirit Dao Fruits scattered seven-colored rays of light, protecting the near-collapsed souls of the Immortal Dynasty cultivators. The Golden and Fire Fruits merged, transforming into a crimson-gold spear that pierced towards the Thunder Hammer.

"clang--!"

The shockwave from the clash of spear and hammer overturned a vast territory spanning tens of thousands of miles. The crimson-gold spear shattered into pieces, and the thunder hammer was also riddled with cracks. Before the aftershocks subsided, the World-Burning Furnace descended upon them, and the eternally frozen star ring locked down all escape routes.

Li Mu suddenly dispelled all defenses, allowing the three world lord-level killing moves to strike him. The instant the destructive storm touched the green robe, he formed the Chaos Creation Seal with his hands, and an unprecedented Chaos Dao Pattern appeared between his brows.

"The Dao permeates all the heavens."

As the whispers rang out, chaotic runes lit up every inch of soil in the Netherworld Blood Realm. The refined sea of ​​blood, the shattered stars, the annihilated remnants of souls... all things that perished were transformed into chaotic nourishment.

The three realm lords were horrified to discover that the primal laws they unleashed were being devoured by the Blood Realm!
"This child intends to use us as fuel to ignite his path!" The Eternal Thunder God was filled with shock and anger, and he unleashed a thunder seal to suppress him.

Li Mu neither dodged nor evaded, letting the lightning seal strike his shoulder; the sound of bones cracking was clearly audible. His right hand, however, had already reached into the void, grasping the core of the Eternal Frozen Star Ring.

The Chaos Dao spread along the star ring, and the Ice Skeleton Overlord screamed and retreated violently, his left arm being assimilated into the chaotic energy.

The Flame God activated the furnace to save them, and Li Mu opened his mouth and spat out the Annihilation Dao Flame, instantly covering the red copper furnace body with gray spots.

Seeing this, the Three Realms Allied Forces swarmed in, intending to take advantage of Li Mu's serious injuries to surround and kill him. Bright Moon's silver armor shattered, and the Puppet Spirit Core was used to set up the last line of defense. Xiao Jingtian burned his Dao Source, and the Rift Universe transformed into a meteor and crashed into the main formation of the Allied Forces.

Just as the battle reached its climax, a new fruit quietly formed at the top of Li Mu's Dao Tree. This fruit was half-real and half-illusory, containing within it the scenes of birth and death of all realms—it was the embryonic form of the Chaos Dao Fruit!
The Dao Fruit trembled slightly, and the three Realm Lords' expressions changed drastically. They sensed that the Netherworld Blood Realm was transforming into the Chaos Dao Domain. If this fruit were to reach its full potential, all the myriad realms would become resources for chaos.

"The Dao Fruit must be destroyed!" The Flame God himself did not hesitate to detonate the core of the furnace, and the vast divine flames erupted like a supernova.

The Ice Bone Sovereign sacrificed nine skulls, freezing space and time with absolute zero chill. The Eternal Thunder God shattered the Thunder Pool, unleashing a world-destroying thunderstorm that engulfed the starry sea.

At the confluence of the three destructive torrents, Li Mu's green robe turned to ashes, and the trunk of the Dao Tree was split open with a penetrating wound. However, his eyes remained as clear as ever, and the Chaos Dao Fruit solidified even faster amidst the destructive storm. "Only today do I understand... the true meaning of Chaos."

With a sigh, Li Mu reached out and plucked a fruit from the branch.

The moment Li Mu's fingertips touched the Chaos Dao Fruit, the entire Dao Tree burst forth with a clear radiance that pierced through the heavens. Its roots frantically probed into the Golden Puppet, Emberfire, Time Ruins, and Illusionary Spirit Realms. A torrent of power from countless Dao Realms surged against the Netherworld Blood Realm. The Golden Puppet's origin transformed into a sharp white light that coiled around the branches. The Emberfire's origin condensed into dark red patterns that burned fiercely. The power of time flowed like silver silk, and the Illusionary Spirit's thoughts converged into a seven-colored radiance that flowed—the great power of all realms became one under the rule of the Chaos Dao!
"boom--!"

The Chaos Giant Axe reappeared from the void, its blade flowing with chaotic energy that merged the origins of all realms. Even before it was unleashed, its sharpness caused the World-Burning Furnace to tremble violently, and fine cracks appeared on its walls.

"open!"

Li Muqing roared like thunder, his giant axe slashing upwards with the force of splitting the heavens and earth. Where the axe light passed, the blazing white divine flames dissipated as if encountering their nemesis, and the nine ancient flame runes at the core of the furnace shattered one after another. The Flame God roared and activated his source, causing a stream of crimson gold molten material, concentrated with the essence of fire from all realms, to gush out from within the furnace—but when it touched the axe light, it strangely rolled back, instead scorching a huge hole in the furnace itself!
Almost simultaneously, the Chaos Spirit Banner fluttered in the wind.

The banner seemed to contain all the heavens, and the extreme cold of the eternally frozen star ring flowed into the world within the banner like rivers flowing into the sea. The Ice Skeleton Ruler was shocked to realize that its connection with the star ring was being severed. The nine reborn skulls screamed in unison, spewing out the Xuanming Origin to freeze the spirit banner—but the chaotic energy within the banner swirled, and the absolute zero cold was transformed into a life-giving dew that nourished all things!
Seeing this, the Eternal Thunder God summoned a Primal Thunder Talisman wreathed in purple lightning patterns to rise from the Thunder Pool. This was the manifestation of the power to wield thunder punishment. The moment the talisman appeared, the pressure of the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison surged tenfold, and even the Chaos Dao Domain began to collapse inch by inch.

"Tracing back through time."

The silver light of the Dao Fruit between Li Mu's brows shone brightly, and the space-time around him, which was a thousand feet long, suddenly distorted. The destructive energy carried by the thunder talisman reversed its course before it could even touch him! Caught off guard, the Eternal Thunder God was blasted by his own thunderous power, his thunder robe charred black, and electric snakes crisscrossed all around him.

The pupils of the three realm lords shrank sharply. They clearly sensed that Li Mu was no longer mobilizing the power of a single realm, but rather using the Chaos Dao Tree as a hub to integrate the origins of all the realms under his command! This method had already touched upon the legendary realm of "the unification of all realms"!
"We can't let him completely merge!"

The Flame God roared as it shattered the broken furnace, sending billions of fragments of red copper raining down like a blazing storm. Containing the essence of fire that had refined countless worlds, the flames ignited even the chaotic air in their wake.

The Ice Bone Sovereign tore through the void, summoning the primordial river of the Frost God Realm. As the river surged, countless ice crystal generals condensed, wielding frost halberds and forming profound battle formations, freezing everything in their path into eternal ice.

The Eternal Thunder God bit his tongue, spitting out three streams of blood essence that merged into the Thunder Talisman. The talisman transformed into a colossal thunder tree spanning a star field, its branches draped with tribulation lightning intertwined with causal threads, locking onto Li Mu's past and future!

The triple killing moves intertwined to form an annihilating net. The outer star field of the Netherworld Blood Realm could not withstand such pressure, and swathes of star systems were silently annihilated. The bright moon's golden eyes, which were watching the battle, shed pale golden soul blood. Xiao Jingtian's black armor was shattered, but he still held his spear and wanted to charge. The soldiers of the Immortal Dynasty were like candles flickering in the storm of Dao principles.

Li Mu's Dao Tree had become semi-transparent, with the Dao Fruits on its branches flickering uncertainly. He suddenly gathered the Chaos Giant Axe and the Spirit Banner, his hands forming a circle in front of his chest. A Dao Fruit sprouted from the origin of all realms in his palms, within which nebulae were born and destroyed, civilizations rose and fell, and reincarnations changed—this was the manifestation of the Chaos Dao Fruit!
"The Dao permeates all the heavens, and it is only today that it is complete."

Li Mu uttered a soft sound, and the miniature universe suddenly expanded. The blazing fire rain disappeared into it as if it were a mud ox entering the sea. The Ice Crystal God General turned into nourishing dust as the nebula swirled. The causal tribulation lightning struck in, but only stirred up ripples.

The three realm lords were horrified to discover that the original Dao principles they had unleashed were being assimilated and absorbed by this newly born Dao fruit!

"He intends to evolve the Great Dao during the battle?"

In the void, Li Mu merged with the Dao Tree, towering like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens and the vast sky. The Chaos Dao Fruit spun before his chest, drawing upon the brilliance of countless stars, and countless Dao principles flowed into it like rivers converging into the sea. The fruit rotated between reality and illusion, its surface displaying scenes of the birth and death of mountains, rivers, plants, insects, and fish, while also seemingly containing the supreme principles of the rotation of Yin and Yang and the alternation of time and space.

"Stop him!"

The Flame God roared, and the fragments of the World-Burning Furnace suddenly coalesced, transforming into a crimson-gold divine spear that spanned the galaxy. The spear's blade flowed with the essence of flames that had smelted countless worlds, and wherever it passed, even the chaotic air currents were scorched black.

The Ice Corpse Ruler's nine skulls shattered, and the Extreme Cold Dao condensed into a translucent ice sword. Wherever the sword's edge pointed, time and space froze, and all things returned to silence. The Eternal Thunder God's eyes widened in fury, and the Thunder Tree collapsed with a crash, transforming into nine chains wrapped with purple lightning Dao patterns. The chains struck each other, producing thunderous sounds that shattered divine souls.

The three realm lords burned their very essence, unleashing a supreme attack with all their life's cultivation. The crimson-gold divine spear pierced through the sea of ​​stars, the translucent ice sword severed time, and the purple lightning chains entangled cause and effect. The three supreme laws intertwined to form a net of destruction, determined to nip the Chaos Dao Fruit in the bud.

Li Mu's gaze was calm, and the illusory image of the Dao Tree behind him completely merged with his physical body. The branches were his bones, the roots his veins, and the leaves his skin—he was the walking Chaos Dao Tree, and the Dao Tree was the manifestation of his existence. Facing the overwhelming killing moves, he raised his right hand, his fingers forming a knife-like shape, and gently slashed at the void in front of him.

"Chaos Annihilation Slash".

A thin, hair-like gray line spread from his fingertip, initially only a few feet long, but in an instant it traversed the Milky Way. Wherever the gray line passed, the crimson-gold divine spear quietly broke in two, the blazing white divine flame at its tip extinguished like a candle flickering in the wind; the translucent ice sword crumbled inch by inch, turning into countless crystalline ice shards that fell in a flurry; the purple lightning chains broke off section by section, the Dao patterns wrapped around them wailing as they dissipated.

The gray line swept past the three realm lords' images with unstoppable force, silently and without a trace.

"Click..."

The Flame God's true form, a colossal divine body, suddenly stiffened, and a barely perceptible gray mark appeared between his brows.

The next instant, a torrent of divine flames erupted from within, and his Dharma form, condensed from the World-Burning Divine Flame, was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, like shattered porcelain. Blazing white flames overflowed wildly from the cracks, scorching countless black holes into the surrounding starry sky.

The Ice Skeleton Overlord let out a shrill scream, and the Eternal Frozen Star Ring shattered with a bang. Nine skulls, half of which had been reborn, exploded one after another. The Extreme Cold Dao backfired on its body, and the Ice Crystal Dharma Form rapidly spread with countless gray spots from the soles of its feet, as if it had been eroded by the invisible years. In just a few breaths, it turned into a mottled ice sculpture, frozen in the void.

Just as the Eternal Thunder God was about to tear through the void and escape, his thunderous form was split in two. There was no blood at the break, only raging purple lightning surging wildly, attempting to reassemble.

However, the chaotic Daoist essence contained within the gray lines was like a malignant tumor, constantly eroding the origin of thunder. The two halves of the Dharma form gradually became transparent in the struggle, and finally vanished like a bubble, leaving only a thunderous explosion filled with unwillingness echoing in the star space.

The three realm lords' Dharma forms shattered one after another! (End of Chapter)
