Seeing the raging water dragon, Li Dao roared, and the Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image behind him raised his hand and grasped a flowing galaxy beside him, suddenly pulling it out and transforming it into a long sword inlaid with dazzling stars.

With a forward swing, the sword light cleaved through the heavens, slicing the nearly ten-thousand-foot-long water dragon in two. The sword's remaining power was undiminished, continuing forward as if to cleave the entire sea in two.

puff-

Just as the water dragon was slain, a dark red chain pierced through the sea god's body, dimming the divine light emanating from him.

"You have violated the rules of this place; this is divine punishment!"

Li Dao's face turned deathly pale, and his divine power instantly dried up. However, seeing the Sea God stagger after being struck, he gritted his teeth, threw out the Refining Furnace, and shouted loudly:

"Give it to me! Take it!"

The Refining Furnace instantly expanded in mid-air, and the Dao patterns imprinted on it seemed to transform into flying dragons and shoot out.

The furnace lid opened, and hundreds of chains shot out from within, directly wrapping around the phantom of the sea god.

ka ka ka-

The chains tightened, wrestling with the illusory image of the sea god, instantly shattering the surrounding void, and a terrifying and ferocious aura swept through.

"How dare you kill a god!"

As the Sea God raised his hand, water spears materialized behind him and shot out towards Li Dao, but they were blocked by a single palm strike from the Heavenly Venerable's Dharma Image.

"Hmph! Killing a god is nothing. You'll be the first, but you'll definitely not be the last!"

"Yin and Yang are in chaos, Yin and Yang are reversed!"

Li Dao raised his hand and pointed in front of him. The Yin-Yang Dao Axis behind him slowly unfolded, and the rich Yin-Yang Qi filled the entire area. A Yin-Yang rune shot out from the Dao Axis.

It tore through the void, carrying unparalleled power, and struck the illusory image of the sea god squarely between the eyebrows.

The runes seemed to have taken root, with tiny roots immediately drilling into the flesh and blood.

hum-

The dark red chains piercing the sea god's body trembled slightly, and the sea god's phantom gradually became more illusory. In addition, the yin-yang runes were being consumed on one side, and the sea god gradually showed signs of fatigue, and the boiling seawater gradually softened.

Upon seeing the dark red chains, Li Dao raised his hand, and several more runes shot out from the Dao axis behind him, slowly wrapping around the dark red chains.

The moment he touched it, Li Dao's mind trembled, and he felt an immense pressure, an overwhelming force from the Dao level.

The Yin-Yang runes were directly absorbed into the dark red chains.

"Is this the rule and order evolved from the remnants of the Dao principles of Kunpeng?"

The moment Li Dao had that thought, the illusory image of the Sea God was immediately covered by hideous cracks, from which blood began to gush out.

With a raised hand and a downward press, the chains that shot out from the Refining Furnace instantly straightened, pulling the Sea God violently into the furnace.

After losing sight of the sea god, the chains overhead slowly dissipated, and the divine might that had been brewing in the sky also vanished.

The Celestial Venerable Dharma Image behind Li Dao slowly disappeared into the Milky Way, and the spatial rift closed accordingly.

Li Dao stood alone in mid-air, his figure reflected in the churning sea of ​​blood beneath his feet.

Although his face was somewhat pale, the light in his eyes was incredibly intense, as if he wanted to burn through the void in front of him.

The sea creatures, kneeling on the ground, stared at Li Dao in horror as they saw the sea god being suppressed.

"Lord Poseidon actually lost!"

"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Even the Sea God has been defeated by him!"

"He really slew a god!"

Whispers immediately rose from all around, clearly shocked by Li Dao's actions.

Being able to slay a god, even a phantom, is already terrifying, for gods are above even the Venerable Ones!

On the treasure ship, Qing Su and Qing Wei's hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually calmed down, and they immediately addressed the rumors:

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Li!"

"Brother Li, you saved my life again!"

Li Dao nodded in their direction and echoed the rumor:

"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. You should leave as soon as possible; things are about to get dangerous here."

Qingwei and Qingsu nodded. After this battle, their mermaid clan was no longer able to seize the treasure and could only turn their ship around and leave this place.

As for Li Dao, he strode towards the location of the ancient nest rift, ripples spreading out beneath his feet, and many cultivators made way for him wherever he went.

At this moment, those around the rift are all powerful individuals, each occupying their own territory, and they are all vying for the best position, hoping to be the first to enter.

In the previous battle, Li Dao had taken over Mo Shang's territory, occupying a region on his own, and no one dared to invade.

"The Godslayer is coming! Get out of the way!"

Li Dao didn't exude any imposing aura, but the elegance he displayed in every move made everyone take him seriously.

The news of slaying the phantom of the sea god spread far and wide, and in a short period of time he gained the title of god-slayer.

No one dared to block his path; they all made way for him.

In the previous battle, even if a Venerable had joined in, he might have been directly shattered. In this place where cultivation is suppressed and Spirit Transformation is the pinnacle, Li Dao is clearly one of the strongest.

No one wanted to provoke him.

Ignoring the probing gazes directed at him, Li Dao took a step and ascended directly onto a massive altar built by Mo Shang.

He sat cross-legged on it and began to regulate his breathing and recuperate. His somewhat listless aura was slowly returning.

Seeing this, no one wanted to take advantage of his weakness, simply because they were unsure of what to do.

If Li Dao could unleash that kind of combat power as before, whoever went would die!

They could only watch helplessly as Li Dao continuously refined precious medicines and spiritual roots to restore himself.

Chapter 178 The True Nest Opens!

Li Dao alone occupied a region, yet no one dared to approach him; his status was unparalleled.

However, as time slowly passed, more and more cultivators gathered, and their figures formed a dense, dark mass near the Kunpeng Nest.

Near the rift, the area is filled with people ranging from disciples of the sacred mountain to local kings and nobles, and even the leaders and venerables of a sect. Ordinary people can only watch from the outside and dare not approach.

Only Li Dao was able to enter that circle on his own.

Behind them was a dense, dark mass of cultivators.

Many cultivators did not leave; they remained where they were, unwilling to retreat, hoping to find an opportunity to infiltrate and seize the treasure.

Not far from the altar where Li Dao was, Han Tian's armor exuded a heavy metallic feel, and his gaze kept falling on Li Dao, causing the hairs on his body to tremble involuntarily.

"What a terrifying person! Could he be some kind of divine being? How can his power be so frightening?"

"It's not unjust that Mo Shang was defeated by him!"

Originally, he still had the intention to fight the other party, but after learning that Mo Shang had died in battle, this thought was greatly diminished.

He and Mo Shang were evenly matched. If Li Daoneng could defeat Mo Shang, he could defeat him as well. He didn't want to make a meaningless sacrifice.

Aside from Han Tian's attention, Yun Xi, from the group at the Ancient Divine Mountain, also kept her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Dao.

The aura emanating from him now was so different from what she remembered from Hundred Broken Mountains, yet his figure would occasionally appear before her, making her feel dazed.

"This rate of growth truly leaves no chance for others to catch up."

As time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly quiet and oppressive, with only the sound of the cracks constantly widening coming from within.

While everyone was captivated by the crack that seemed on the verge of collapse, the sea suddenly split open, and Shi Hao emerged from the water, evaporating the water vapor.

Seeing this scene as he swept his divine sense around, his anxious heart was finally at ease.

"Luckily we weren't too late. The Kunpeng Nest hasn't completely cracked open yet, but it will soon!"

"If it had been any later, we probably wouldn't have been able to get in!"

Seeing more divine runes emerging from the crack, he murmured to himself:

"Now I see even more divine patterns. Could it be that I must follow the path of the Kunpeng to discover its secrets?" He was quite unsettled.

Shi Hao was immediately recognized by some people upon his appearance.

"You're that notorious thief who appeared two years ago?!"

One gaze after another fell upon him, filled with surprise and uncertainty. Shi Hao, however, remained perfectly at ease and slowly walked forward.

"It's you!" From the side of the Ancient Divine Mountain, a group of people stared at Shi Hao with cold eyes, and several old servants stepped forward.

Li Dao was someone not to be trifled with in the Kunpeng Nest, and they dared not say anything to him. But Shi Hao was different; with their strength, they could suppress him.

However, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Li Dao, presumably out of consideration for Li Dao's presence.

Aside from the ancient divine mountain, an old man transformed from a gray dragon in the distance also fixed his sinister gaze on Shi Hao.

The news that Shi Hao robbed the Jiao Venerable has spread. If he is not beheaded and his head displayed to the public, how can the Jiao Venerable save face? Therefore, he sent him to take Shi Hao's life!

Despite the hostile gazes coming from all directions, Shi Hao remained unconcerned and focused his attention directly on Li Dao.

Seeing Li Dao, who seemed to be one with heaven and earth, emanating no power whatsoever, yet peacefully occupying the land and appearing utterly detached from worldly affairs, a sense of admiration arose in his heart.

"Senior Brother Li's cultivation is becoming more and more unfathomable!"

Immediately, a fighting spirit arose in his heart. Sensing the hostile gazes, he spoke directly:

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll eat you up!"

If he wanted to, he could directly obtain Li Dao's protection, but that was not what he sought; he wanted to forge his own path.

It's likely that Li Dao didn't summon him immediately upon his arrival for this very reason.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the group from the Ancient Divine Mountain and the generals under the Jiao Venerable immediately turned bloodshot.

Seeing that Li Dao had no reaction, he immediately retorted angrily:

"You little brat! How dare you act so arrogantly here? Believe me or not, I'll suppress you right here!!"

Seeing Li Dao's expressionless and indifferent demeanor, the gray dragon understood the situation.

They launched a direct attack on Shi Hao, and the people from the Ancient Divine Mountain, seeing that Li Daozhen was not participating, also joined in.

The once tranquil sea became turbulent again with the arrival of Shi Hao, and all eyes were on Shi Hao, who was fighting against many cultivators.
