A crimson light flashed around the Ironblood Ancient Tree, and its body instantly became as hard as divine iron.

However, the fifth killing formation has a killing move that targets the primordial spirit. Although the Iron Blood Ancient Tree's body is extremely hard, the primordial spirit is not so hard.

The fifth killing formation activated, causing the void to tremble slightly. Twisting power flowed rapidly within the formation, and a mysterious millstone appeared in the sky.

With a gentle turn of the millstone, the Ironblood Ancient Tree felt as if it had spent a full circle inside it. Its primordial spirit was crushed and then healed, now covered with countless cracks.

"broken!"

Li Dao's voice was like iron, and the fifth killing formation rapidly contracted and firmly bound itself to the Iron Blood Ancient Tree, as Li Dao clenched his fist.

boom--

With a deafening roar, blood mist filled the sky, and the Ironblood Ancient Tree instantly shattered on the spot, turning into dust. Only a dozen drops of Sun God Liquid remained, floating in mid-air like tiny suns.

Li Dao raised his hand and took it in his palm, feeling streams of intense energy flowing through it.

"Not bad, you even managed to gain something from this. You can say you died a worthwhile death."

Looking at the blood beads that were constantly swirling with crimson mist in his palm, a smile appeared on his face.

With his right hand clenched into a fist, a drop of blood burst open in his hand, turning into several streams of bloody water that started from his palm and flowed throughout his body in an instant, slowly seeping into his body.

"Ugh!" He groaned, lava flowing over his skin, slowly seeping into his bones.

As the divine liquid entered his body, the pale golden light in his eyes became even more profound, and his aura as a Venerable suddenly erupted and then quickly subsided.

call--

He took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and felt the warm current flowing in his dantian as his body slowly digested the Sun God Liquid.

"Once I've finished refining the divine liquid, I think my strength will be able to advance further."

"Then, the next step is to seize the temple's most precious treasure!"

After saying that, he suddenly exerted force with both legs, transforming into a golden light and rushing straight up towards the temple at great speed.

Another day passed, and Li Dao arrived at the crown of the Sun God Tree. Before him stood an ancient chaotic palace, perched atop the tree, seemingly suppressing some terrifying being.

Beside that ancient temple were several sacred mountains, also flowing with chaotic energy, like undeveloped, primordial worlds, nurturing the Sun God Tree.

"This is World Mountain, formed to nurture the World Tree. This Sun Tree is transforming into the World Tree!"

Li Dao's eyes flashed with divine light as he looked at those world mountains as if they were a peerless creation. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of them.

The World Mountain is dark brown, and standing in front of it feels like arriving at the end of the universe, with a powerful sense of the vicissitudes of time washing over you.

The mountain floated above the divine tree, its leaves like stars adorning the surroundings. Chaotic energy flowed and submerged the mountain, yet could not conceal its true nature.

Such a mountain is extremely rare in the world; only one such mountain could be found at the very beginning of creation. If it could be refined into a powerful treasure, it would surely be able to smash through everything.

Its weight alone is not something an ordinary person can lift, and once it is made into a weapon, its power will be immense.

Li Dao looked at the World Mountain with a hint of longing in his eyes. As he raised his hand, countless spears floated behind him. With a wave of his hand, the spears immediately pierced through.

Ding ding ding—

However, when those spears landed on World Mountain, they didn't even create the slightest ripple; leaving a mark was extremely difficult.

Chapter 259 Slaying the World Mountain

Li Dao raised an eyebrow, knowing that the mountains in this world were hard, but their hardness was comparable to that of immortal gold.

With a flick of his wrist, the bone knife appeared in his hand, and he slashed forward fiercely. However, when it landed on the world mountain, it directly cleaved through the chaotic energy flowing around it, but the mountain itself remained unharmed.

You can't even leave a mark on it.

Li Dao's arm was slightly numb from the shock, and he was slightly surprised. This world was truly beyond his imagination.

"I don't believe it anymore!"

Golden light burst forth from his eyes, and chaotic Dao bones coiled around his body. His fingertips brushed across the blade, and strange Dao patterns flashed across the bone blade, instantly making the blade incredibly heavy.

Li Dao's arm muscles bulged, and the angular muscles could be vaguely seen through the bulging of his robe.

"cut!"

A fierce slash descended, its blade flashing for nine thousand miles. The leaves adorning the World Mountain trembled violently, as if stars were being shaken, making a rustling sound.

Clang—

The mountain trembled, sparks flew, and a thin white mark was left beneath the blade.

Li Dao was astonished at this sight, but he also saw a glimmer of hope in taking it down.

"If it can leave a mark, then it can be cut off. I refuse to believe it!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the sun, moon, and stars on his Taoist robe immediately began to shimmer, and an incomparably terrifying aura rapidly expanded outwards from him.

"The Celestial Venerable has descended! All things shall be annihilated!"

The void behind him was torn apart, and the Celestial Venerable's Dharma Image, holding a galaxy, slashed down with a blade that seemed to traverse countless times and spaces, merging with Li Dao, who was raising his blade above his head.

laugh--

He opened his eyes, unleashed a slash that shattered the void, causing the stars to tremble, and the bone blade struck the World Mountain heavily.

boom--

With a loud bang, Li Dao sheathed his sword and stood up, only to see a fist-sized World Stone fly high into the air.

"Thank you!"

Just then, a young man with purple hair and a white robe caught the World Stone in the spot where it had been thrown.

The Venerable Purple Gold looked at the incredibly heavy World Stone in his hand, his face full of joy.

He was already very pleased with the windfall, and smiled at Li Dao with disdain in his eyes.

Li Dao's face instantly turned frosty. He raised his sword, aimed at the Purple Gold Venerable, and coldly said:

"Bring my things here!"

The Venerable Purple Gold showed a disdainful expression, put the World Stone into his robes, and said leisurely:

"The capable shall possess it, young friend, do not be impatient. Whoever gets this treasure will keep it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dao took a deep breath and couldn't help but laugh:

"He who hunts geese all day long has now had his eyes pecked by one."

His face then turned gloomy in an instant, and he vanished from the spot.

"Die!"

The voice rang out from behind the Purple Gold Venerable, and as soon as the words fell, the blade's edge arrived.

laugh--

The Purple-Gold Venerable felt a chill run down his spine. He raised his hand and summoned a large purple-gold shield, his heart filled with shock.

The great shield was made of extraordinary material, a mixture of various rare gemstones, shimmering with dazzling divine light and flowing with metallic luster.

After being nurtured by the Venerable Purple Gold for many years, its hardness is now considerable, capable of withstanding even attacks from gods.

However, under Li Dao's angry attack, the purple-gold shield was directly cleaved open, and the Purple-Gold Venerable's body retreated violently.

"What terrifying power!"

Seeing his magical artifact severed, the Purple Gold Venerable was heartbroken. But when he saw Li Dao's murderous eyes, his heart sank.

However, it was absolutely impossible for him to hand over the treasure he had obtained. With a determined look, he transformed into his true form, a purple-gold rat, and slashed through the void to slip inside.

"Ha, what a rat it is, oblivious to its own mortality!"

Li Dao planted the bone knife in front of him, clasped his hands together, and golden Dao flowers bloomed, immediately filling the entire space.

A platinum halo slowly rose behind him, and time and space around him suddenly became still, as if the entire world had been paused.

"Got you!"

A divine light burst forth in his eyes, and a golden pupil seemed about to open on the top of his head.

Time seemed to stand still as a blade slashed out to a spot to the side, arriving in the blink of an eye.

puff-

The enormous body of the Purple-Gold Rat fell from the space, and the terrifying spatial rift directly shattered one of its hind legs.

Li Dao approached the purple-gold rat, placing his bone knife against its neck. The divine halo behind him receded, and the power that had been interfering with spacetime vanished without a trace.

"You think you can escape?"

The Purple Gold Venerable's eyes were filled with horror. He had relied on a divine power to steal treasures from many powerful races, but today he was going to be defeated by this kid in front of him.

He was horrified. They were clearly at the same level, but the difference in their abilities was far too great.

"Hero, spare my life! I'll never do it again!"

"I was blinded by greed. Please have mercy on me. You can order me around as you please from now on! Just spare my life!"

Li Dao remained silent, then with a slight exertion of force, neatly severed the head of the Purple Gold Venerable and took the World Stone directly from his robes.

It feels incredibly heavy in your hand, as if you're holding not a stone, but the beginnings of a world.

"If you dare to take my things, you are going against me. How dare I let you live?"

He put the body of the Purple Gold Venerable into the Refining God Furnace, along with the World Stone, and turned around to see that the Venerable had already arrived.

They were all attracted by that Chaos Treasure, and all sorts of magical techniques and supernatural powers bombarded the World Mountain, but they didn't make a sound when they landed on it.

Li Dao didn't linger and turned towards the mountain peak. As soon as he reached the top, he saw a Dao flower blooming on the summit of that world mountain.

The flowers bloom in golden hues, releasing a wonderful fragrance that brings a sense of peace and comfort with just one sniff.

The flower, no bigger than a millstone, looked quite peculiar hanging on the branch of an extended divine tree.

Li Dao quickly shifted his gaze from the flower, sensing an immense sense of danger that made his hair stand on end.

He raised his hand and unleashed a Thunder-Suppressing Halberd, which was shattered before it even reached the flames; its power was extremely sharp.

"This flower is not something I can covet."

Then his gaze fell on the golden divine liquid flowing out from the Dao Flower, about to drip.

"Although the Dao Flower is unattainable, this Divine Elixir is exceptionally effective, so I shall accept it without hesitation!"
