Li Dao lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and invisible ripples instantly spread out.
One after another, divine powers, like blooming flowers, froze in mid-air.
The dozen or so cultivators, who had originally looked fierce, were now filled with horror, their minds blank.
boom!
Li Dao raised his hand and pressed down, a strong wind arose, the sky and earth changed color, and a powerful force like a tidal wave swept across.
The dozen or so people who had leaped into the air, along with their supernatural abilities, were swept away from the stage like fallen leaves in autumn wind.
Qi Mu's jade flute rang out, deflecting the overwhelming attack.
Seeing the battle situation on Li Dao's side, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.
The others watched as more than a dozen people stepped down from the stage in the blink of an eye, causing a momentary pause in the battlefield.
However, things quickly became even more frenzied, with more cultivators rushing towards Li Dao, including some prodigies who had also been guaranteed a spot in the second round.
The battle reached its climax in an instant. This was the last obstacle in front of everyone; only by passing through it could they enter the Cleansing Pool. Everyone was fighting desperately.
"Overthrow them!"
Roars erupted as dozens more figures formed a pincer movement, charging towards Li Dao instead of retreating.
Li Dao took a step forward and landed in front of those people. He threw a punch, tearing the space apart. Wherever the fist struck, people and horses fell over.
Li Dao remained calm and composed, still very confident in his physical strength. Although his Dao essence had been drained of its origin by the embryo, its strength remained unchanged.
With a heavy stomp, the platform swayed slightly, and several more people were thrown off.
The commotion immediately caught Jin Tuo's attention. His eyes flashed, and as he sensed the aura emanating from Li Dao, he frowned.
"So that's how it is. How interesting. Even in a place where the laws are flawed, such a divine being has emerged."
"If it doesn't perish prematurely, it will surely have a place among these three thousand provinces!"
Unlike Qi Mu and others who only felt that Li Dao's laws were incompatible with the present world, Jin Tuo saw things more clearly.
"Such physical strength truly comes from a person of great perseverance and great fortune!"
On the stage, behind Feng Wu stood several prodigies who had been recruited, all of whom were among the top talents in Tianxian Prefecture.
At this moment, with Feng Wu's command, they immediately rushed towards Li Dao.
Li Dao unleashed a punch, knocking back several people in front of him, when he felt the sound of air being torn apart behind him and stepped on the ground.
hum!
In an instant, a Yin-Yang Dao diagram expanded, and the space-time within the diagram was instantly stretched.
In one night of contemplation, he had already incorporated the hasty understanding of the past into the Dao diagram.
Feng Wu and the others felt the sudden pressure on their bodies and were immediately pinned to the spot.
"Yin and Yang in reverse order".
Li Dao uttered a soft voice, and another Dao diagram appeared above his head, echoing the Dao diagram beneath his feet.
Click!
The Dao diagram rotated through the void, emitting strange noises as if it were overwhelmed.
Behind Feng Wu, a blue phoenix cried out, as if its neck was being choked by invisible shackles.
The void shattered inch by inch. Just as he struggled to break free from the stagnation of time and space, the terrifying reversal immediately caused the divine power within his body to reverse.
His face turned bright red, his veins throbbed, and his blood seemed about to gush out.
The others had already fainted from the sudden, intense pain.
There was no time to resist. If they could have used a powerful treasure, they might have been able to hold out for a few more breaths, but unfortunately, there are no "ifs".
Li Dao's expression remained calm and composed. He traced a line in the void with his fingertips, and the Dao diagram expanded instantly.
All the cultivators on the platform were included within the Dao Diagram, and the chaotic Yin-Yang power acted on everyone present.
Qi Mu was still fighting, but when he turned around, he saw that everyone was lying on the ground, kneeling on the ground with their faces red.
Only he and Li Dao remained standing on the field.
Li Dao watched indifferently as the people on the platform struggled, and the fierce battle ended in a bizarre way.
"The new rule is that the last eight people standing will be the final winners."
Upon hearing Li Dao's words, the cultivators who were about to collapse immediately straightened up and began to resist the violent aura within their bodies.
Jin Tuo sat on the high platform, watching Li Dao single-handedly control the entire scene, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"He's a ruthless man."
Jin Yan, standing to the side, was also filled with amazement, having thought it would be a life-or-death battle.
I didn't expect it to end like this, but it's enough.
Qi Mu was the happiest of them all. He had secured a spot so easily, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
Time passed slowly, the Dao diagram stabilized, and fewer and fewer people remained standing until only eight people were left. Only then did Li Dao slowly retract the Dao diagram.
Once the Dao diagram was retrieved, the other eight people showed expressions of relief, and one by one they could no longer support themselves and knelt on the ground.
His eyes were filled with amazement as he looked at Li Dao.
"Monster!" someone murmured, a sentiment that resonated with everyone present.
They originally came together to participate in the competition, but they never expected that a monster would become the referee.
Faced with such overwhelming power, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow his rules.
"Hahaha, indeed heroes emerge from among the young! The ten of you are the victors of this gathering of immortals."
Jin Tuo landed in mid-air, his face full of joy, and when he looked at the ten of them, his eyes were full of eagerness.
"Congratulations to the victors! Open the Immortal Cleansing Pool!"
Jin Tuo was not one to procrastinate. A golden-armored deity appeared behind him, and the divine pressure swept across the entire area, making everyone feel the immense pressure.
Li Dao's expression, however, was much better. This kind of power was nothing to him, after all, his hands were stained with the blood of the gods, even if he hadn't killed them himself.
The golden-armored deity raised his hand and tore through the void, revealing a vortex portal on the platform. Li Dao and the other ten people standing on the platform all felt their bodies lighten.
Then his body slowly floated up and landed steadily in the vortex.
Li Dao's eyes flashed with divine light as he glimpsed a massive celestial platform floating amidst a sea of clouds deep within the vortex.
Meanwhile, in the center of the altar, a pool of precious liquid radiating five-colored divine light was churning endlessly amidst the sea of clouds.
Even before getting close, Li Dao could feel the terrifying energy emanating from the precious liquid.
Boo!
I landed steadily in the vortex, and everything went black before my eyes. The familiar feeling of space tearing over me came over me.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on the platform.
The ground was paved with white jade, the pool water shimmered with seven-colored divine light, and it was surrounded by thick divine pillars.
On those divine pillars were engraved strange Dao patterns, which contained terrifying binding power.
Such a magnificent building truly lives up to the reputation of the Immortal Washing Pool.
Just as the ten people were looking around, Jin Tuo's voice drifted over.
"The power of laws within the Cleansing Immortal Pool is formidable. The closer one gets to the center, the stronger the power of laws becomes, and the more concentrated the energy becomes."
"Everyone must act according to their abilities."
Before everyone could react, some people had already eagerly jumped into the pool.
The water had barely reached the man's knees when his face instantly turned bright red, and terrifying energy surged through his limbs and bones.
The laws governing the pool began to surge violently, constantly impacting the man's body, forcing him to sit cross-legged on the edge of the pool and begin to comprehend and absorb them.
Chapter 280 Golden Lotus Emerges, Conceiving the Dao Embryo
Seeing this, the others stopped watching and jumped into the water, causing the laws within the Immortal Cleansing Pool to surge violently.
Qi Mu stopped a hundred meters from the shore, which was right up to his limit. He faced the sky with his five hearts facing the heavens, letting the laws cleanse his body and temper his Dao body.
Li Dao took a deep breath and slowly entered the pool. In an instant, the surging power of the laws began to erupt and rushed towards him.
"The laws are flowing back into my body!"
Li Dao gritted his teeth, biting his lip until it bled. The surging power of the laws was several times more intense on him than on others.
Cultivating in a place where the laws of the lower realm are flawed, the laws within his body were already rejected by the great world, and this became even more pronounced upon entering the Cleansing Immortal Pool.
Upon entering, the laws surged like a raging ocean, attempting to fill the incomplete laws within his body.
Under these circumstances, if it weren't for his physical body, he would have been severely injured even if he hadn't died, given the surging laws.
In an instant, Li Dao felt as if his body had been crushed hundreds of times by a giant millstone.
However, the effect was extremely remarkable, and Li Daoneng could clearly feel a surging power flowing through his body.
Qi Mu and the others were somewhat puzzled when they saw Li Dao stop as soon as he reached the shore.
After all, as the strongest among them, the fact that the first step was so difficult was quite surprising to them.
However, after pausing for a moment, Li Dao headed step by step into the depths of the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
The surging laws within his body relentlessly assaulted his limbs and bones. Had his Dao body not already reached the realm of transcendence and sainthood, he would have long been crushed by the surging laws of this place.
Blood seeped from his skin, staining the pool water behind him red, but he did not stop and continued to go deeper into the pool.
At this moment, Li Dao's mind was completely focused on his body.
In the dantian, the Dao embryo formed from the Dao seed was trembling and absorbing the surging laws.
The roots extending from that embryonic body, under Li Dao's mental prompting, continuously absorbed the Dao essence and extraordinary energy from his bones and flesh.
Qi Mu was startled when he saw the changes in Li Dao.
At this moment, Li Dao's skin was withered, and despite the surging energy flowing into the Immortal Cleansing Pool, there was no sign of his skin deteriorating.
The body, which had originally shone with a mysterious light, now exuded an indescribable aura of decay.
