Perfect World: The First Dao Body in the Chaotic Era!

Li Dao, who was originally locked in by the lightning tribulation and was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment under the raging heavenly lightning, was now completely unharmed.

As the dark clouds overhead gradually dissipated, the divine furnace that slowly descended from the heavens smashed through the dark clouds, bringing a golden light that shone on Li Dao.

Bathed in golden light, he resembled a god reborn from the ashes, his every move exuding Taoist wisdom.

Duh——

The divine furnace landed in his hands. He held the furnace with one hand, his face indifferent, and his eyes swept over everyone, causing everyone to feel a sense of unease.

A terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire arena, plunging the place into complete silence. Then, Li Dao's long, drawn-out voice rang out:

Are you all offering your loyalty to me?

"You still want to come and face execution?!"

As soon as Li Dao finished speaking, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Having witnessed the terrifying scene before, no one dared to linger any longer; it was simply too bizarre.

They felt that if they stayed any longer, they would surely be killed, and immediately spoke up:

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li, on your further advancement in cultivation! We have come to offer our congratulations. Now that there is nothing else, we will take our leave!"

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li!

"congratulate……"

Li Dao remained silent, watching them finish their congratulations before quickly disappearing from the spot.

In just a few breaths, there was no one else within a ten-mile radius.

At this moment, Li Dao's composed demeanor immediately collapsed, and crimson blood mixed with divine light flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He wiped his mouth, and his once powerful aura weakened, his face becoming completely bloodless.

It fell directly from mid-air and landed on the back of the Black Demon who was already waiting below.

"Cough cough, thankfully we managed to lure these annoying guys away, otherwise we would have been discovered if we had stayed any longer!"

His eyes were filled with relief. In order to block the heavenly punishment, he had directly summoned the Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image and had the Dharma Image control the Divine Refining Furnace to eliminate the heavenly punishment.

This was far beyond his current capacity. If he hadn't been holding on with all his might, those guys would have already noticed something was wrong!

"Fortunately, we managed to smooth things over."

At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate, because if he had broken through outside of Hundred Broken Mountains, the power of the Heavenly Punishment would have been beyond his current ability to withstand.

Chapter 125 Chains of Order

He returned to the foot of the towering ancient tree, sat cross-legged on a large blue stone, and began to regulate his breathing.

Black Demon lay to one side, watching out for any movement around him.

Swish swish swish—

The Divine Transformation Ring of the Cave Heaven radiated countless layers of divine light behind him, and the essence of the surrounding hundred miles all flowed in one direction.

A vortex of vital energy had formed around Li Dao, rapidly replenishing the depleted divine power within his body.

Three days passed in a flash, and many cultivators were already waiting for Li Dao to emerge from the outskirts of his location.

Xu Fei chewed on a precious medicinal herb, looking around at the many cultivators either sitting cross-legged on a solitary peak or perched on flying birds. Somewhat puzzled, he asked his companion beside him:

"What are all these people doing here?"

The man who was asked the question, seeing Xu Fei's puzzled look, couldn't help but facepalm and think to himself, "This idiot, he's already here and doesn't even know what to do. He's probably being sold out and will be helping the seller count the money."

Although that was what I thought, I still carefully explained it to him:

"We came here to befriend the Black Tiger Taoist, as we heard that someone saw him undergoing tribulation here."

"If we can befriend them, it would be a great opportunity."

Of course, this is only one aspect. There are rumors that although Black Tiger Taoist survived the tribulation, he was also seriously injured.

Some cultivators wanted to ambush and kill Black Tiger Daoist, but without concrete information, no one dared to make a move, so they waited outside.

At the same time, not far from Xu and Fei, several powerful cultivators with different auras were gathered together.

"Three days have passed, and that Black Tiger Taoist still hasn't come out. We can't wait any longer; let's rush in and take a look!"

"Their eagerness to absorb the essence of heaven and earth suggests they are injured. Our forces are almost fully assembled, so there's really no need to wait any longer!"

"If it weren't for waiting for everyone to arrive, I would have rushed in already! Everyone's here now, what are we waiting for?"

This group included swordsmen, sword cultivators, and even pure-blooded beings, all of whom were either enemies of Black Tiger Daoist or cultivators who wanted to seize his treasure.

The reason they gathered together was naturally for Li Dao.

"Given his ruthless nature, he must have been injured when he let so many of us leave that day."

"However, at the time, we were intimidated by its power and could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge. Now, I really regret missing the opportunity."

An old Taoist priest with a small mustache and narrow eyes said with regret.

Although he said he was temporarily avoiding the limelight, he was actually terrified at the time and would only start thinking about the shady dealings once he was safe.

However, by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. All they could do was gather like-minded people and prepare to ambush and kill Li Dao.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he didn't hesitate any longer and headed straight for the lake.

Xu Fei stared blankly ahead, touched the longsword he was holding to his chest, and listened to his companions' praise of Li Dao's deeds, feeling a little itchy to use his own sword.

Looking up, he saw a group of people heading deep into the area. Sensing the murderous aura emanating from them, he became interested and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

call out--

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye. His companion, who had been chattering incessantly about Li Dao's legendary journey, was stunned when he disappeared.

Lakeside, under ancient trees.

Li Dao was surrounded by a mysterious aura, and behind him was a golden cave heaven that radiated divine power. Stars flowed within the cave heaven, and a divine furnace suppressed a world.

After three days of recuperation, his listless state improved considerably, and his body radiated a glow, exuding an aura of completeness.

His every move seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, and the essence of heaven and earth was drawn to him even without him consciously absorbing it.

This is one of the benefits of opening up a physical body's inner world, where the body automatically absorbs the essence of heaven and earth no matter when or where.

"call--"

"We've finally made it."

"It's been quite a wait."

Li Dao slowly opened his eyes, and black and white lotuses bloomed in them. He looked towards the lake and saw several figures reflected on its surface.

He exuded a menacing aura, his body swirling with a faint killing intent, and his divine sense landed on him from afar.

Black Fiend, who was lying on the side, saw that the newcomers were hostile and immediately came to Li Dao's side, baring his teeth and showing a hostile look, his eyes fixed on the group of people.

The shifty-eyed Taoist priest, seeing that Li Dao's aura was much weaker than the oppressive aura he had exuded that day, felt much relieved.

"Heh, Black Tiger Taoist? After today, only Black Tiger will remain, no more Taoists."

"You almost fooled us. Should we do it ourselves, or do you just hand it over obediently?"

Li Dao seemed not to hear, his gaze sweeping calmly over them as he said in a detached tone:

"Three mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, four late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, and one minor cultivator from a grotto-heaven realm."

"You old fogies, you're all so old and you still come in here to snatch treasures from the younger generation. Aren't you afraid of revealing your aura and getting struck by heavenly lightning?"

The leading Taoist priest, upon hearing this, was not annoyed. He glanced back with some confusion but didn't pay it any mind, and calmly said:

"We are no match for you prodigies. If we rogue cultivators want to rise to the top, we have to use any means necessary."

"My killing you today has nothing to do with anything else; it's all for the sake of cultivating the Great Dao."

"So submit to execution, and I'll give you some dignity."

Li Dao nodded, agreeing with his words. In this world, everyone is focused on cultivation, and those who obstruct the path must be killed.

"That's right. Since that's the case, there's no need to discuss right and wrong anymore. Rest in peace, everyone."

The Taoist priest looked puzzled upon hearing Li Dao's words, thinking that Li Dao had been frightened into a stupor.

After Li Dao finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it in the direction of the group. Immediately, a crimson chain extended out from the cave behind him.

This is the divine chain of order formed by Li Dao's comprehension of the heavenly thunder and his own path, which can be considered a materialized product of the Taoist methods he has learned.

The crimson chains of order, like a winding crimson snake, coiled around Li Dao and immediately rushed towards the group with a flick of his finger.

The people behind the Taoist priest, hearing Li Dao's arrogant pronouncements even on his deathbed, were about to refute him when they saw a divine chain of order rushing towards them at high speed.

"careful!"

The Taoist priest was somewhat confused by Li Dao's words and was still on guard when he saw the divine chain rushing towards him. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

puff-

However, the chains of order pierced right through his body, and the people behind him reacted immediately.

He raised his hand and summoned his magical artifacts to block the attack: a bone shield and a large cauldron immediately stood in front of the divine chain.

However, a flash of divine light appeared on the divine chain, emanating a terrifying pressure.

*Pfft, crackle, crackle*

The divine chain pierced through it with ease, along with the bodies of the people behind the treasure.

Xu Fei, who was following behind the crowd and had already drawn his sword, looked horrified as he saw that the group of people who had come with such a fierce attitude were now strung together.

A chill ran down my spine; my heart, which had been calm and unmoved by anything, was now completely overwhelmed.

Puff puff--

With a slight tremor of the divine chain, the cultivators whose bodies had been pierced exploded one after another into a bloody mist.

Chapter 126 Never to be seen again

"Gudong-"

Seeing the once tranquil lake transform into a blood-red lake, Xu Fei's expression froze completely, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Li Dao remained calm in the face of what was happening. Even though his injuries had not yet healed, he was not someone that just anyone could try to extort money from.
