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

But having already made the move, there is no turning back. The most urgent task is to sweep away all obstacles and ensure that the puppet chosen by the three religions firmly sits on the throne of the Stone Emperor.

One after another, powerful techniques flew towards Li Dao, like thousands of stars piercing the sky. Even before they landed, the oppressive aura made many of the Stone Kingdom's citizens feel suffocated.

Seeing the meteor shower of magical techniques crashing down, Li Dao remained calm, while arcs of lightning exploded from his body. With a single step, the entire world paused for a moment.

"The Way of Yin and Yang is clear; the Heavenly Venerable seeks the Dharma."

"Reversing life and death, seeking the Dao through Dharma."

"Respectfully inviting! The Dharma Image of the Celestial Venerable!"

Li Dao flicked his sleeve, and the space around him fell silent, the raging rain of magical techniques freezing in mid-air.

boom--

The space behind them tore open, and a galaxy flowed out from it, its origin unknown, passing over everyone present.

As Li Dao's eyes opened and closed, countless stars seemed to flow within them, and a terrifying pressure emanated from them.

click-

Above the starry river, a terrifying Dharma image lay horizontally in the void, its hands resting on its knees pressing outwards.

The void was torn apart, and a giant hand reached out. The torrent of magical techniques struck the giant hand but was blocked.

"What is this!" Qin Lun's heart tightened as he looked at the divine light, like a galaxy, continuously surging forth in the void behind Li Dao.

"Snap—"

Grasping the two sides of the torn void with both hands, he pulled with terrifying force, and a terrifying Dharma image appeared behind Li Dao.

Surrounded by stars, the sheer pressure emanating from him was enough to intimidate everyone present.

They were all drawn into an endless starry river, their eyes fixed on the towering Dharma image.

The sixteen-foot-tall golden body was already a colossal creature, but it was still like a plaything in front of Li Dao's Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image.

"Is this your trump card?" Yuechan whispered as the giant dragon in her hand shot out, hurtling towards Li Dao.

With the divine power of the Western Sect disciples behind him, Zhang Liu's strength was in no way inferior to that of the Venerable One. His golden body bloomed and he also bombarded Li Dao.

Li Dao pressed down with two fingers forming a sword shape, and the Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image behind him also raised its fingers and pressed down in the same way.

The terrifyingly large fingerprint was clearly visible, directly enveloping everyone present.

Puff puff--

As the giant finger pressed down, flowers of blood bloomed in mid-air, staining the billowing dust with a crimson hue, and screams of agony echoed like a living hell.

The earth trembled as the dragon turned over, causing the entire capital of the Stone Kingdom to shake, and dust covered the sky above the capital.

When the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Li Dao stood alone in the void. The image of the Heavenly Venerable had vanished, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation below him.

Yuechan was covered in wounds, her sixteen-foot golden body was severely damaged and her foundation was broken. In the end, she risked burning her own essence and escaped into the void with the help of a magical artifact.

As for Qin Lun's finger, it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Yuechan's eyes were filled with shock, and cracks were spreading on her skin. However, a silvery-white energy emanated from her body, quickly helping her recover.

The many cultivators from the Stone Kingdom who watched from afar were horrified to see so many cultivators from the three religions die or be injured with a single finger.

"Is this even human?!" one cultivator murmured in disbelief.

The cultivators of the three religions all came from beyond the realm, and were an incredibly powerful force, yet they were annihilated with a single finger.

Even a god would lose half his life if struck by that single finger.

Yuechan felt Li Dao's gaze sweep over her, and a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, despite gathering so much strength, they still failed. Faced with Li Dao's unfathomable power, a sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts.

"You've lost again." Runes surged in Li Dao's eyes as he sensed a power emanating from Yue Chan that didn't belong to her.

With a wave of her hand, a shackle exuding a forbidden aura was branded directly onto her hands.

Yuechan did not struggle, letting the shackles fall into her body. She couldn't help but purse her lips, looking pitiful.

boom--

The next moment, from deep within the palace, the imperial dragon aura soared into the sky, and a golden dragon of fortune, its body gleaming with gold and its scales and claws radiating terrifying power, rose into the sky.

From deep within the palace, sounds of killing echoed, clearly indicating that Shi Hao had gained the Emperor's approval and was now sentencing the traitors.

Tread-tap-

Led by the old man Huangtianhou, the palace guards arrived at the battlefield. The old man, who was in charge, saw the ruins before him, with blood flowing like a river, and his eyelids twitched.

Looking at Li Dao in the center of the battlefield as if he were a god, he respectfully stepped forward and said:

"Greetings, Lord Li Dao! We are acting on the orders of the Stone Emperor to apprehend the thieves!"

Li Dao nodded, then turned and disappeared with Yuechan.

The Mountain and Water Courtyard was where Li Dao stayed after attacking the Rain Clan. Revisiting this place again evoked many emotions in me.

Just as Li Dao was sitting under the pavilion drinking tea, the outside world was bustling with activity. First, Li Dao pointed to the universe, and then Shi Hao ascended the throne, thwarting the conspiracy of the three religions.

A bloody massacre began within the palace, and those kings and nobles who wanted to become puppets of foreign religions were all purged.

As the night passed, the shouts of battle in the capital gradually subsided, and the shattered divine array was repaired.

The next morning, Shi Hao, dressed in a black five-clawed dragon robe, quietly appeared in the courtyard.

Li Dao put down the Taoist book in his hand and looked up to see the weariness in Shi Hao's eyes.

"You've arrived."

Shi Hao, without any ceremony, sat down directly opposite Li Dao, forcing a smile as he said:

"Thank you very much, senior brother. If it weren't for your help this time, the Stone Kingdom would have fallen into the hands of outsiders."

Li Dao smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, then looked at him with a deep gaze and said:

"It was just a coincidence. Besides, you're my junior brother, so this little favor is nothing."

Standing gracefully behind Li Dao, Yuechan bent down to pour tea for the two of them, seemingly already embracing her role as a maid.

When Shi Hao looked up and saw Yue Chan, his eyes were filled with surprise. When he looked at Li Dao, his eyes were filled with deep admiration, but he still said:

"Senior brother, this woman has an extraordinary background; you must be careful."

Li Dao nodded and looked at Yuechan to the side, knowing what she was thinking.

Chapter 237 Grass Character Sword Technique

Although Yuechan is with me now, once we enter the Upper Realm, it will be equivalent to carrying a tracker.

The cultivators of the Patching Heaven Sect could easily find his location.

However, since those people from the upper realm are not so easily able to come down here, they won't expend any effort to find him, so there's no need to worry so much.

Seeing this, Shi Hao didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, a jade sword talisman appeared on the table. He pushed it in front of Li Dao and said sincerely:

"I am very grateful for your help, senior brother. I have no way to repay you, so I will use this technique as my reward."

A look of surprise flashed in Li Dao's eyes. Seeing the sincerity in Shi Hao's eyes, he did not refuse and raised his hand to take the jade talisman into his hand.

With a sweep of his divine sense, sharp sword intents emanated, pulling him into an illusion.

The sky collapsed and the earth caved in, leaving only a nine-leaf clover in the world, with endless sword intent surging from each leaf.

With a slight tremor, a sword aura swept out, cleaving open the already shattered sky above, and causing stars to explode one by one along the way.

A terrifying sword intent swept across the nine heavens, seemingly able to slash towards Li Dao across countless ages.

A single blade of grass can cleave down the sun, moon, and stars; its sword intent can traverse three thousand provinces—truly terrifying.

Li Dao slowly came to his senses, but he was deeply shocked. The sharp sword intent seemed to be slashing down across countless ages.

"A single blade of grass can cleave down the heavens—what a terrifying divine power! I'm actually the one who benefited from my junior brother's divine power."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao waved his hand, showing no sign of heartache despite the immense power of this precious technique.

I wasn't too concerned, because even the most powerful techniques depend on the user; there are no invincible techniques, only invincible people.

Moreover, Li Dao's arrival solved his immediate problem, and he felt a little relieved to have used this technique.

After talking with Shi Hao for a while, Li Dao also expressed his intention to leave.

"I still have some arrangements to complete in Yaodu. Be careful. Although the people of the three religions have been repelled, they may come back with a vengeance."

Shi Hao nodded solemnly, knowing that it was only a matter of time before the three religions returned.

"No need to worry, I am now the Emperor of the Stone Kingdom, blessed with good fortune and protected by divine arrays. They cannot harm me!"

Li Dao nodded, finished his tea, and then disappeared with Yuechan.

After Li Dao left, Shi Hao didn't linger. With the overall situation largely settled, there were still many things he needed to do.

"Where are we going?" Yuechan asked, pursing her lips as she watched the capital of the Stone Kingdom gradually disappear into the distance, while her divine power was suppressed.

"Just follow along. Why does a maid have so much to say?" Li Dao glanced at her, then sat on Black Fiend's back and headed towards the ancient city they had just visited.

"You..." Yuechan was speechless with anger, but could not utter a single word. She could only follow Li Dao.

It was unclear what those shackles were, but the farther away one was from Li Dao, the tighter they became.

However, her worries gradually subsided. She could tell from the fact that Li Dao did not kill her immediately that he needed her help, and she was still safe.

After traversing numerous mountains and rivers, the ancient city that had been teleported to earlier slowly came into view.

Upon entering the city, one sees that all the cultivators within are beaming with joy, and the city has been completely transformed, devoid of the oppressive atmosphere and impending storm that preceded their arrival.

"On that day, many experts from the three religions came together, overwhelming the void, and all the cultivators in the capital were filled with fear."

"Snap! At this critical moment, someone made a move. The person raised his finger to the sky and shouted: 'My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!' He then summoned a divine being, who brought down a finger to stabilize the world!"

"It is truly terrifying; it is nothing short of a force capable of turning the tide!"

As the gavel struck, a thrilling and legendary story unfolded before the audience, immediately drawing cheers from the crowd.

"Good! If it weren't for that person's intervention, the Stone Kingdom would have fallen. Do you know his name?"

"Rumor has it that when that person first showed his talent, he fought against someone with double pupils, and later even slapped a Venerable. He is truly terrifying. His surname is Li, and his given name is Dao!"

Li Dao paused slightly, his lips twitching involuntarily. "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens' hands? What nonsense!" He glanced at the flushed faces and said nothing more, shaking his head as he headed towards the teleportation array.
