He reached out and pushed forward, but it felt like he was blocking an invisible wall, unable to go any further.

The next moment, a whooshing sound came from behind.

laugh--

Behind him, a long sword gleaming with cold light slashed through the void and thrust towards him. The void trembled slightly, and the killing intent filled the entire area as runes flickered.

Li Dao quickly turned around, his face calm and composed, showing no sign of confusion.

clang!

Li Dao gently raised his hand, his well-defined knuckles blocking the long sword in front of him.

Sparks flew as the divine weapon clashed with his fingers, followed by a metallic clang.

"Catching a divine weapon with bare hands?! What the hell is this?!"

The first Venerable One to step into the void showed a look of horror.

That was no casual strike; the power contained within it was something even a Venerable might not be able to withstand head-on, yet Li Dao caught it with his bare hands, leaving him utterly shocked.

However, he quickly recovered and, holding his weapon, said to Li Dao:

"Hand over the treasure containing the power of the world!"

Jin Yangzi's face was full of warning. If he wanted to get close to the divine tree, he would need a magic treasure containing the power of the world to open it, and he was exactly lacking such a treasure.

They could only be targeting Li Dao.

Li Dao shook his arm, quickly suppressing the tingling sensation in his hand.

Upon hearing Jin Yangzi's words, a gleam immediately flashed in his eyes, and he understood why Jin Yangzi had come to rob him.

"Ha, so many people are targeting me, do they really think I'm made of clay?"

As he raised his hand, the sky behind him suddenly turned dark, and countless stars appeared behind him, which were actually gleaming lightning halberds.

Zizi!

The lightning bolts leaped and struck the void, immediately releasing a faint smell of burning.

"Suppress Thunder!"

After he finished speaking, rain fell from all the heavens. When Jin Yangzi saw the densely packed lightning spears coming towards him, his scalp tingled.

With a roar, the void behind him shattered, and the place where he stood immediately transformed into a world of magma, from which a fire giant slowly crawled out.

The intense flames emanating from his body were even hotter than the temperature in the sea of ​​lava.

After the barrage of gunfire subsided, the fire giant was blasted to pieces, riddled with bloody holes. Through those holes, one could glimpse Jin Yangzi, whose face was pale, behind the fire giant.

However, after the barrage of gunfire, the fire giant slowly recovered and became even more powerful than before.

Li Dao raised an eyebrow as he watched the giant sweep towards him, causing ripples to spread through the space.

"The Mark of the Sun God! Appear!"

His body trembled slightly, and golden sun god patterns immediately appeared on his skin.

These were all learned in the Extreme Yang Cave of the Kunpeng Nest in the North Sea, which allows one to absorb the power of extreme Yang and temper the body.

As the divine runes appeared, the fist that the fire giant unleashed was completely absorbed before it could even land on Li Dao.

"What!" Jin Yangzi was shocked. He felt his power being taken away and quickly dispersed the fire giant.

Seeing this, Li Dao was not greedy. He raised his hand and the bone knife appeared in his hand. He gently slashed forward, and the void became still. Even the spatial power surrounding the divine tree was instantly cleaved apart.

Jin Yangzi, who landed directly in front of the blade's edge, had no time to dodge before the blade's edge sliced ​​through his body.

puff-

His body split in two, the crimson sky stained crimson, and Jin Yangzi's body plunged into the boundless sea of ​​crimson lava and disappeared.

Li Dao sheathed his sword, saw the golden light barrier blocking his way, and raised his hand to summon his Star Bag.

The Star Bag possesses the power of a small world, so it should be able to play a role.

As the power of the world within the Star Bag was activated, a dazzling divine light shot out from the Star Bag.

A star appeared overhead, and the power of the world emanating from it transformed into a beam of light that shot out and heavily struck the barrier in front of him.

hum!

With a slight tremor, the golden light barrier that had been blocking his way slowly parted to the sides, and he flashed forward, rushing inside.

As soon as Li Daogang entered the divine tree, he landed on a branch. The tree patterns beneath his feet seemed to have come alive, carrying wondrous Dao essence. Just standing on it, he instantly felt his mind become clear.

hum!

At that moment, Tianhuang trembled slightly inside the Refining God Furnace.

Chapter 258 Chaos Ancient Palace

Li Dao suddenly felt puzzled, took it out, and then heard Tianhuang say:

"The roots of the tree are rich in vital energy and Daoist essence, which can help me recover from my Daoist injuries."

Li Dao nodded, his divine eyes looking towards the tree roots. He saw that within the crimson magma flowed a rich divine essence, and deeper still, a rich Dao essence circulated.

"Alright, be careful."

After saying this, Tianhuang broke through the air and flew away, transforming into a streak of light and rushing into the boundless red sea.

Li Dao stopped paying attention and looked up at the sky, where the branches of the trees stretched out like a vast road, and every leaf and piece of bark was a priceless treasure.

Even a small amount of it is an invaluable treasure, whether used for refining weapons or for studying Buddhist teachings.

It was just too hard; the bark was no weaker than divine gold, and when you touched it, you could hear a metallic sound.

It has a metallic sheen and texture, and the power of the world that permeates it is enough to eliminate most attacks.

Li Dao withdrew his hand, no longer expecting to remove a piece of bark.

With his legs slightly bent, he leaped out and immediately rushed towards the treetop, where there was a temple, and what was inside the temple was the most important thing.

This place is a no-fly zone, so you can only climb by physical means. With your legs slightly bent, you shoot up high like an arrow and quickly climb upwards along the tree trunk.

Each leaf holds up a world, as if you've entered a strange world. The surrounding scenery changes rapidly, and the pressure on you increases accordingly.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Dao didn't know how far he had traveled. It seemed that he had already arrived in an outer world, but the road ahead still had no end in sight.

laugh--

Just then, a crimson root, as sharp as a needle, attacked him.

Li Daochao shifted to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. Looking behind him, he saw a bewitching man with half of his body turned to wood and half of his head covered in strange red flowers.

"The Iron-Blooded Ancient Tree!"

Li Dao frowned. Seeing its ghostly appearance, he figured it must have gained a considerable benefit, and its body was beginning to change.

"Hehe, kid, I thought using a secret technique would be the fastest way to reach the top, but I didn't expect you to be ahead of me. Come on, let's have a good fight!"

"The Sun God's Fluid within me needs a workout to digest it. Let's fight!"

Upon hearing this, a faint golden light appeared in Li Dao's eyes. He saw that there was a strong yang energy within the Ironblood Ancient Tree, and he understood.

"This Ironblood Ancient Tree is the same species as the Sun God Tree, so it must have used some special secret technique to draw on the Sun God Liquid."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a strange change."

After figuring it out, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and squeezed the void, shattering the space in his palm.

"Since you're so eager to fight, then I'll bury you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Ring behind him activated, the sky darkened instantly, and array patterns disappeared into the void.

Buzz!

Array activated!

In the void, streaks of light as bright as stars shone, and the aura of a Venerable One burst forth from his body, unleashing an overwhelming pressure that dominated the world.

The Ironblood Ancient Tree felt the surrounding space become thicker, and chilling killing intent burst forth from all directions.

"Hmph! Just in time!"

"A thousand trees have descended!"

The ancient iron-blooded tree pressed its palm under its feet, and strange runes spread rapidly outwards from its center.

Immediately afterwards, towering ancient trees grew out behind him, transforming into a forest of iron and blood, surrounding Li Dao in the middle.

Swish swish swish—

The Ironblood Forest was growing rapidly, its branches, as hard as iron and as sharp as gold, were thrusting towards Li Dao like spears.

Li Dao's expression remained calm and composed. He raised his hand and waved it, causing array patterns to flash continuously in the void. One array after another lit up, and at the center of the array, heavenly blades appeared and fell fiercely.

The tree trunk that had just extended out was cut into pieces in the blink of an eye, and a drop of bloody sap spilled out.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Dao drew his bone knife, its blade gleaming coldly, and slashed forward with overwhelming force, the terrifying blade light sweeping across the entire Ironblood Forest.

laugh--

With a crisp sound, one after another, the Ironblood Ancient Trees were felled and turned to ashes, revealing the true forms of the Ironblood Ancient Trees that had been hiding in the forest, waiting for their chance to strike.

"Such a sharp blade! This person is quite skilled. I'd better leave first!"

"I'll come back for revenge once I've completed my transformation!"

Seeing Li Dao break through its attack so quickly, the Ironblood Ancient Tree was somewhat shocked.

I thought I had found an easy target, but I never expected to find such a powerful being. I am already considering retreating. At this moment, I should prioritize transformation.

However, Li Dao wouldn't give it that chance. Seeing the Iron-Blooded Ancient Tree retreating rapidly, he spoke coldly and indifferently:

"To think you can leave after something so strange is wishful thinking!"

"Array Domain Annihilation!"

With a raised hand, the array patterns in the sky rapidly converged, transforming into the fifth killing array, the most powerful in terms of killing force.

The Ironblood Ancient Tree stiffened, as if it had fallen into an endless purgatory. When it looked up, everything around it had turned crimson, and a terrifying killing intent was brewing.

"The tree trunk is as hard as iron!"
