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

After thinking it over, he took out his spear, took a step and used the Shrinking Earth technique to appear in front of someone in an instant.

As the bronze spear was swung, it was as if an ancient realm had crashed down, directly breaking through the man's defenses and smashing his head.

Fortunately, being soulless and like a walking corpse, their strength was limited, allowing Li Dao to barely manage to cope by maneuvering among them.

He raised his hand and pulled down sharply, and a long river of yin and yang swept out from behind him, its surging waves washing over everything in front of him.

hum!

The cultivator, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, fell into the long river, his body swaying uncontrollably, and the divine fire within him, already corrupted by the curse, became visible.

A murderous glint flashed in Li Dao's eyes. He raised his hand and pressed down, and a giant hand containing the power of a galaxy burst through the top of his head, causing a heavy cloud of blood mist to fall.

boom!

The earth trembled, and cracks spread outwards.

The numerous ancient cultivators who charged towards Li Dao were instantly reduced to dust.

call!

Li Dao breathed a sigh of relief, preparing for the arrival of his next opponent.

But then a gate of light appeared in front of him, and Li Dao cautiously stepped into it.

Swish!

Everything went black for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself at the summit of Mount Bai.

Behind him was only a red-haired, red-eyed man struggling to climb, and he was not in good condition either, with cracks spreading all over his body.

A flash of joy crossed Li Dao's eyes, but his brows quickly furrowed.

After looking around, they couldn't find any trace of Ruan Si.

He couldn't help but look in front of him and saw a thick golden willow tree rising from the ground.

The willow tree exuded not a rich life force, but a shimmering golden aura.

Thick chains bound it tightly, their roots bulging out, exuding an ominous aura.

"Is this a divine herb or a sacrificial spirit?"

The moment the question was uttered, the Golden Willow Tree rustled, as if thousands of metals and stones were colliding, and a clear laugh rang out.

"Brother Daoyi is truly a divine being; he saw it all at once."

"As expected of the person I chose."

Li Dao looked in the direction the sound came from and saw Ruan Si leaning against the Golden Willow Tree.

One foot dangles leisurely in mid-air, one hand rests behind his head, and the other holds a wine jug—how dashing!

Li Dao frowned and tightened his grip on the bronze spear.

"Fellow Daoist Ruan, what is this?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Si waved her hand to interrupt him.

"I know you have many questions, but how about I tell you a story first?"

It seemed like a question, but before Li Dao could react, it began to speak on its own.

"It is said that there is an ironclad rule between the ancient land of immortals and the natives: when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, disaster will befall them."

"Therefore, many cultivators in the Immortal Ancient Realm are intentionally slowing down their cultivation speed, or even severing their cultivation to avoid disaster."

"But in a tribe called Xunshe, a freak appeared. He was able to move blood at the age of three, fire the divine fire at fifteen, and by the age of twenty, he had already attained the position of a celestial god!"

As Ruan Si spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, a self-deprecating smile appearing on her lips, and her eyes becoming distant and unfathomable.

Li Dao watched as wisps of red mist rose from the ground and slowly climbed up the money willow, his eyes lost in thought.

Ruan Si seemed unaware of the changes in the Golden Willow Tree. She took a sip of wine, and the tiny cracks on her cheeks healed quickly.

He didn't look at Li Dao, but instead looked up at the sky, still telling his story as he opened and closed his mouth.

"After that demon entered the realm of gods, he sensed that the path ahead was blocked, that a curse had befallen him, and that disaster had also befallen the tribesmen who were of similar blood to him."

“In the tribe, there are children who die shortly after birth, their bodies covered with strange black hair that cannot be burned off by Taoist fire, and they are repeatedly cut down by divine weapons.”

"He felt extremely guilty, having been driven out by the tribe, and was determined to find a way to survive and reconnect with the broken road!"

"After visiting many places and consulting ancient books, he finally learned about a hidden clue."

However, Ruan Si looked pained and closed her eyes.

"Legend has it that in ancient times there was a divine willow tree that reached the heavens, which was revered by many races in the Immortal Ancient Realm and was worshipped by them."

"And the divine willow also protected them."

"He believed that if the wishes of all the people were gathered together to create another sacrificial spirit, it would surely be able to protect the tribe once it grew up."

Li Dao's heart was filled with turmoil as he thought of the scene of the all-spirited sacrifice in front of that mural.

Thinking of the figure of the Willow Goddess, and looking at the golden willow tree in front of him, all the clues connected and a truth slowly emerged in his mind.

It seems that 'he' was preparing to create another sacrificial spirit, but this meant he had offended an even more terrifying taboo, hastening the tribe's demise.

Thinking this, Ruan Si's somewhat numb voice came again.

"What's even more fortunate is that he found a divine willow growing on the divine gold."

"He was overjoyed, feeling that the tribe was saved and there was hope for the future."

"The sacred willow was transplanted back to the tribe, and it was initially successful as the tribe members offered sacrifices to it every day."

"No one in the tribe died young anymore, the tribe is thriving, and everything is on the right track."

"Until that day—the Divine Willow's strange transformation!"

The terrifying scene from that day reappeared before Ruan Si's eyes.

Blood-red willow roots enveloped the entire tribe, and the wails and screams still echoed in their ears.

"Everyone in the tribe died, and he was the only one who survived!"

"He was filled with remorse, never expecting that the curse had been borne entirely by the sacrificial spirit. Once it exceeded the spirit's capacity, the curse erupted in full force, further hastening the tribe's demise."

After recounting the story, two lines of bloody tears streamed from Ruan Si's eyes.

"And then what?" Li Dao asked, his heart trembling.

Ruan Si gave a self-deprecating laugh and took a sip of wine.

"Hehe, later on, he used the secret technique of disintegrating his body to suppress the monstrous divine willow, and used the flesh of everyone in the tribe to create a large tomb."

Looking down at the white mountain, Li Dao felt a chill run down his spine, already guessing what was going on.

What is your purpose?

Ruan Si took a step and instantly appeared in front of him.

Only then did Li Dao realize that Ruan Si's flesh beneath her robes had withered and was exuding a strong aura of death.

The wine entered my throat, struggling to resist the corrosive aura of death.

"I thought everything was over, but the curse continues!"

"The great tomb made of flesh and blood has become a nest of curses, and souls wail in eternal karmic fire. I cannot protect so many souls!"

"I want to burn everything down, so that all souls may find peace!"

"And you are that fire!"

Chapter 344 The Battle That Shattered the City!

Ruan Si's gaze was intense, and a hint of unspeakable pain flowed in her eyes.

His eyes held a longing for liberation.

Li Dao sensed a strange power reviving on the golden willow tree in front of him, and his expression became very solemn.

His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Ruan Si with a serious expression, asking:

"why me?"

"There are countless monsters and ancient freaks within the Immortal Ancient Realm."

Ruan Si stared intently at Li Dao, a burning passion in her eyes.

“I have searched for traces of that being and sensed the presence of that great being.”

"I sensed that aura emanating from you!"

"There was another, even stronger one, but it was too late to find it."

Li Dao was startled. Looking at Ruan Si in front of him, he realized that Ruan Si was a special being at this moment.

To the naked eye and through divine perception, he was a physical divine embryo, but after seeing the golden willow tree before him...

He immediately sensed the aura emanating from Ruan Si, an aura subtly connected to the divine tree.

It's not surprising that the other party could sense that he had been in contact with the Willow God through that divine tree.

Li Dao composed himself before looking directly at Ruan Si and speaking slowly and deliberately:

"But no matter what, I'm only at the Divine Fire level. How can I possibly resolve this matter? At least a Heavenly God level would be needed to have a chance, right?"

Ruan Si looked at Li Dao with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and did not hide anything:

"There's no time left."

"I can't suppress it anymore!"

The moment his words fell, the entire sky trembled.

The sky cracked open, and the chains on the golden willow tree trembled rapidly.

Runes appeared on the thick chains, which instantly taut and exuded a terrifying pressure.

Strange roars came from beneath our feet, sounds that seemed to come from ancient times.

Li Dao's expression instantly tightened as he sensed that the white mountain beneath him had transformed into a volcano, ready to erupt with cursed power capable of causing a massive catastrophe.

Outside, where the blood pillar shot out, the mining area suddenly cracked open.
