However, seeing the effect of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique combined with the immortal magic, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

With a flick of its tail, the Kunpeng inflicted damage like a comet crashing to earth, leaving behind only ruins in the blink of an eye, with blood still flowing freely.

He absorbed the Time Ring into his body and did not continue his attack. This time, he had already caused huge losses to the Rain King's Mansion, with three or four palaces destroyed and countless members of the Rain Clan killed or injured.

It was time to stop. More importantly, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the depths of the Rain Prince's Mansion.

This aura was exactly the same as the aura emanating from the phantom of the sea god at that time, but even stronger. It was no surprise that the rain god's decree had been invoked.

In this unfavorable situation, they could only ask Tianhuang for help, but using Tianhuang's power in this situation was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"After today, the Rain Prince's Mansion will exist in name only!"

With a single step, his figure gradually became illusory, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.

A group of cultivators, stunned by Li Dao's methods, were left behind, along with the Rain King and elders who arrived late.

"Li Dao!"

"Where are the people from the Prince Wu's Mansion?!"

The Wu King's Mansion and the Yu King's Mansion had a very close relationship. Now that no one from the Wu King's Mansion had come, the Yu King couldn't help but feel resentful.

If it weren't for the Great Demon God's sweeping attack on the Rain King's Mansion last time, which severely injured him, he would have wanted to fight Li Daoyi to the death long ago.

Just as the Rain King was secretly resenting the Martial King's Mansion, little did he know that the Martial King's Mansion was also encountering considerable trouble.

On the training platform of the Martial King's Mansion, the Suanni behind Shi Hao roared as it fiercely battled Shi Ziteng.

There are no fancy supernatural powers or magical techniques in each move; only the most direct methods of killing.

Their eyes were bloodshot, all for the sake of taking the other's life. The many elders watching the battle felt a surge of regret as they witnessed this scene of fratricide.

While Shi Hao was causing a ruckus at the Martial King's Mansion, Li Dao had already returned to his courtyard.

Outside the mountain and water courtyard, a huge black curtain covered the area, with eight long swords constantly moving within it.

Outside the courtyard, many cultivators came and went, glancing sideways with a sense of awe in their eyes.

"Having just caused a ruckus at the Rain Prince's mansion, he's now openly displaying his spoils. Li Dao is quite a character indeed," someone passing by remarked.

Li Dao's actions have allowed his reputation to spread far and wide, thanks to the influence of the Rain Prince's Mansion.

"The Rain Prince's Mansion is closed to visitors, and the aftershocks of the battle are still being felt at the Martial Prince's Mansion. These two mansions are truly unfortunate brothers, having provoked such a monster."

Some cultivators who knew the inside story murmured as they passed by the mountain and water courtyard.

In less than half a day, the news that Li Dao had single-handedly suppressed a prince's mansion and smashed the Yu Prince's mansion with a wave of his hand had spread to everyone.

Outside the courtyard, many forces, including members of the royal family, had gathered, eager to befriend Li Dao.

However, no one dared to cross the sword formation. The eight fierce swords in mid-air constantly reminded them of what kind of person Li Dao was.

Judging from everything that has happened today, he is an absolute killer, and a powerful and lawless one at that.

Deep within the courtyard, Li Dao sat cross-legged on a futon, his palms facing upwards, with a bone fragment in front of him containing the original true explanation, emitting a soft white light.

puff--

With a soft sound, the bone fragment instantly turned into dust, and hundreds of complex yet simple Dao patterns surged before him like a sea of ​​stars.

The next moment, the Dao patterns seemed to have found their home and landed on Li Dao's body.

hiss hiss hiss—

One by one, Dao patterns fell like fiery tongs, burning through Li Dao's skin and firmly imprinting themselves into his flesh.

Li Dao couldn't help but groan. In the blink of an eye, Li Dao transformed into a white jade bronze figure engraved with inscriptions.

Although no imposing aura emanated from him, the invisible pressure he exerted made Hei Sha, who was cowering in the corner, tremble with fear.

Looking at Li Dao, he felt as if he had glimpsed the true form of the Great Dao. He desperately suppressed his own existence and couldn't help but wail inwardly:

"My master is terrifying!"

Li Dao did not stop. His bones crackled softly, and the Dao patterns on his body slowly merged into his bones and flesh.

Its body emitted a brilliant golden light, which quickly spread towards the color of chaos, and the pressure it exuded grew stronger and stronger.

Li Dao sensed that when the Dao patterns on the Original True Solution were incorporated into his bones and flesh, his physical strength was increasing, and that feeling fascinated him.

However, just as everything was turning for the better, ominous black energy slowly began to emanate from his body. When his physical strength reached a level comparable to the late stage of the Array Formation realm, he stepped into the Venerable realm.

The black energy transformed into black Dao patterns that fell into the body, forming a shackle that immediately halted the momentum of improvement.

"Humph!"

Li Dao grunted, the rising momentum abruptly stopped, his expression changed, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he instantly understood the reason.

Youyou opened her eyes, and when her divine sense sensed the black restraints on her body, a chilling thought crept up into her.

"Achieving physical sainthood is the pinnacle; the next step is entering the forbidden realm!"

Stepping into the forbidden realm means that one's Dao body has embarked on a completely new path, one of no return.

Li Dao also did not expect that the moment the original true explanation was etched into his flesh and blood, it would lead to this result.

In his calculations, he only had a rough idea of ​​the path after achieving physical sanctification.

At this point, he only had two paths before him: one was to stop physical cultivation, as physical sainthood was already an immense blessing; the other was to break free of the shackles and step into the forbidden realm.

As for how to choose, Li Dao had already made his decision.

"For a seed to germinate, it needs to break through its hard outer shell in order to grow!"

He focused his mind into his body, sensing the primordial truth and Dao seed runes slowly merging between his bones and flesh. With each fusion, the shackles on his body grew thicker.

Chapter 199 The Palm-Holding Venerable

"Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. This is my path, and I must forge ahead."

As soon as the thought arose, the shackles that had been floating around him fell directly onto his body, emitting a faint blue light.

hum-

A strange change occurred amidst the churning of flesh and blood. The sky outside the courtyard was originally clear and bright, but the next moment, dark clouds surged endlessly. Many cultivators were puzzled by this sudden change.

"How did things suddenly change so suddenly?"

Deep within the capital of the Stone Kingdom, a peerless emperor sat on a dragon throne, the space trembling slightly with every gesture.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason. An unusual phenomenon in the sky—could it be that some kind of extraordinary being has been born?

Shi Huang's divine sense swept out, intending to investigate, but he was quickly drawn to Shi Hao, who was fighting in the Martial King's Mansion, and sensed the Demon Spider Venerable who was on his way.

Inside the courtyard, Li Dao was unaware of the changes his choice had caused. When the shackles fell, he understood.

"This is both a recognition and a test."

"If you pass through, you can step into the forbidden realm; if you fail, your Dao body will be gradually eroded and gradually disintegrate."

"There is no turning back."

Li Dao's expression was indifferent as he looked at his well-defined hands. With a gentle clench, the vital energy in the room was instantly drained.

His combat strength at this point can no longer be measured by a single realm.

Hidden in the corner, Black Fiend trembled, feeling as if Li Dao were a blazing sun, melting him if he got too close. He even had to breathe carefully.

Li Dao also sensed the change in Hei Sha hiding in the corner, and couldn't help but chuckle. He flicked his sleeve and slowly withdrew his imposing aura.

Once he had regained his gentle and refined demeanor, and his aura was completely contained, Hei Sha tentatively ran over.

"Your intuition is quite sharp." Li Dao patted Hei Sha's head and then slowly walked out.

The moment they stepped out of the room, they heard a vast and profound Daoist voice.

"Demon Spider, I welcome you to celebrate my birthday today, but if you come to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Stop now. If you commit further murder, I won't hesitate to leave you here."

Above the heavens, a golden-yellow statue of the human emperor, larger than a mountain and capable of grasping the sun and moon, sat serenely in the nine heavens.

He exuded a majestic aura, and with every move he made, the celestial phenomena changed constantly. The golden dragon of fortune appeared and disappeared, spreading a terrifying pressure.

Beneath the statue of the Human Emperor, many citizens of the capital knelt down upon seeing the majestic statue, their faces filled with piety, and they chanted the name of the Human Emperor.

The Primordial Demon Spider, who was about to deliver a fatal blow to Shi Hao, paused upon hearing Shi Huang's words, his mind in turmoil.

This was the best time to kill Shi Hao, this monstrous talent, but the price might be his own life. After hesitating for a while, he had to give up the idea of ​​killing Shi Hao at this moment.

Within the capital of the Stone Kingdom, with the blessing of the Stone Kingdom's fortune, he was no match for the Stone Emperor.

"Stone Emperor, my descendant has been imprisoned by him. Don't I have the right to teach him a lesson?" Although she knew she was no match for the Human Emperor, she still said this out of consideration for face.

“He is a member of my Stone Clan, and I shall be the one to judge any wrongdoing.”

"Demon Spider, you have crossed the line."

Many forces were shocked upon hearing this, realizing that the Stone Emperor intended to protect Shi Hao and ensure his safety.

"Even the Stone Emperor thinks highly of him; his rise is unstoppable!"

Shi Hao below was inwardly groaning, hoping the Human Emperor wouldn't intervene. He was already prepared to use the small tower to gnaw at this 'tough nut'.

However, upon seeing the Dharma image in the void, he had no choice but to accept the Stone Emperor's kindness.

The spider was furious, but dared not raise the thought of attacking again. Looking at Shi Hao's regretful expression beneath him, his anger surged.

"I was already prepared to spare your life, what do you mean by this?"

"Are you trying to provoke me?!"

The Demon Spider did not get angry when threatened by the Stone Emperor, but when it saw Shi Hao's regretful expression, the anger that had been building up in its heart suddenly ignited.

"If we can't touch you, we can at least touch the people around you!"

With a sweep of his divine sense, he locked onto Li Dao, having already known that Li Dao and Shi Hao were in cahoots.

"This person is not from your Stone Clan. The Stone Emperor won't make a move again, will he?"

Before he could finish speaking, the demonic spider arrived not far from Li Dao, its legs, like pillars supporting the sky, thrusting towards him.

Li Dao landed in mid-air, merely to check things out, yet he was immediately targeted, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it behind him, causing space to split apart inch by inch like a mirror.
