"The descendants of sinful blood have committed heinous crimes. It is only right to kill them here!" A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the god of the Demon Sunflower Garden.

"Then let's just kill him directly!" The god of the Underworld said coldly, and then took out a bone horn and began to blow on it.

"Woooo..."

The demonic sound exploded, and even the surrounding gods could not withstand it, so they had to use their profound powers to fight it off.

"A Netherworld treasure from the Netherworld Clan! It can cause someone to go into a state of demonic possession without them even realizing it. What a remarkable method!" The Heavenly God of the Demon Sunflower Garden exclaimed in admiration, taking out a small drum and saying slowly, "I will assist you!"

dong dong...

The thunderous drumbeats stirred the blood, making it feel as if it would burst from the body.

The attack emanating from such a treasure would be a disaster for cultivators in seclusion; a lack of willpower would cause them to abandon all their efforts in the next moment.

Seeing this, Hun Tuo chuckled and took out a conch shell, gently blowing on it to produce a terrifying divine sound, his methods of interfering with the four extremes of the void were extremely ruthless.

The other gods were not idle either. With a wave of their hands, they channeled their divine power into the small drum above their heads, instantly raising the drum's sound to a whole new level.

Li Dao's expression changed instantly as he sensed the group of people. His face darkened as he said:

"Do you really think I'm that easy to kill?"

"That's all the tricks we've got. If you dare come in, let's see if those crazed beasts can tear you to shreds!"

Even so, Li Dao still felt his mind being shaken and his blood energy subtly surging.

Looking at the ancient road in front of him, he raised his hand and the Three Flowers Gathered at the top of his head, divine light descended and enveloped his whole body, and he tried his best to resist the demonic sound.

He slowly got up and walked towards the ancient road. If he continued, he might die on the spot. Looking at the ancient road in front of him, his eyes gradually became firm.

"When I emerge from seclusion, it will be your death day."

Li Dao stepped onto the ancient road, where the void cracked open, vast and boundless. This ancient road stretched through eternity, its destination unknown.

As he stepped onto the ancient road, the demonic sound was blocked from entering.

As we moved forward, the surroundings were filled with shimmering light and misty fog, creating an indescribable sense of sacredness, as if we had stumbled into a fairyland. Further on, however, lay only darkness and nothingness.

Outside the forbidden area, several celestial beings were still vigorously beating their drums. They were unaware of Li Dao's situation, but seeing no movement inside, they were somewhat puzzled.

"This kid is indeed formidable, continue!"

Hun Tuo's eyes were sinister, determined to kill Li Dao among them.

The others also spared no effort, because Li Dao's growth rate was too fast and his combat power was too strong. If you make an enemy of such a hero, you must go all the way, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Li Dao walked along the ancient road for an unknown amount of time. All around him was silent and dark, with only the road beneath his feet radiating a divine light.

A celestial light burst forth in Li Dao's eyes, revealing beneath the darkness were countless shattered stars, each one immense in its own right.

It is unknown what kind of terrifying battle they encountered, which directly shattered so many terrifying giant stars.

As he walked and looked, Li Dao unknowingly arrived at the end of the ancient road, which was cut in half. The ancient road was completely severed, leaving only darkness in the middle, while there was still a distance to travel on the other side.

Li Dao raised his hand and threw the Trident of the Sea God, but before he could cross that dark path, a blood-red light appeared in the void, shattering the trident directly.

His eyes narrowed, and he took out another bone artifact, only to meet the same fate.

He estimated the distance, took a deep breath, and leaped towards the other side.

boom!

The next moment, bursts of blood-red light, accompanied by black lightning, continuously struck towards Li Dao, causing him to stagger slightly, but he still managed to cross over.

However, this one blow caused his blood to surge violently, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for his exceptionally strong physique, he might have perished here.

As he continued forward, he encountered eight more roadblocks along the way, bringing the total to nine.

“The Road of Nine Broken Passages.” Li Dao looked at the blood-written words on the ancient road, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

As they continued onward, they encountered another inscription in blood: The Path to Immortality.

"Interesting," Li Dao thought to himself, without stopping.

When he reached the end, he encountered a stone wall blocking his way, and the ancient path he had walked behind him had disappeared.

With a rumbling sound, stone walls appeared on all four sides, pressing in on him and forming a sealed stone chamber.

Li Dao raised his hand and blasted at the stone wall in front of him. The next moment, the stone chamber suddenly changed, and every wall turned into the vast sky.

He was not trapped in a stone house, but in a vast and boundless world.

As Li Dao unleashed his punch, a line of text slowly appeared on the stone wall.

"Break through heaven and earth, and attain immortality!"

Those were eight ancient characters. Although Li Dao did not recognize them, he instantly understood their meaning. They were filled with a vast Daoist essence, as if he had comprehended some kind of Great Dao.

"What arrogance! Breaking the heavens and earth will grant immortality." Li Dao looked at the eight ancient characters emanating a divine aura, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Are they planning to trap me here and let me die?"

As Li Dao saw that the stone wall slowly recovered after he stopped, it returned to the stone house it had been before. He clenched his fist, and divine power surged within him.

"Then let's see if you can stop me!"

hum!

Black and white divine flames erupted around him, distorting the surrounding space. With a flick of his wrist, the Thunder Punishment fell into his hand.

Zizi!

Pale golden lightning flickered around him, accompanied by black and white divine flames.

call--

Li Dao let out a long sigh, slowly raised the Thunder Punishment in his hand, and his body trembled almost imperceptibly.

laugh!

The next moment, he vanished from the spot.

Boom boom boom!

In the next instant, the four stone walls were subjected to a fierce storm of attacks, and the void shattered inch by inch.

The stone wall crumbled inch by inch, transforming into the vast and boundless sky.

In the blink of an eye, Li Dao moved like lightning, unleashing over a hundred sword strikes that shattered the surrounding world.

The terrifying light compressed the sealed room, making it completely bright, with powder flying everywhere and the surrounding space stretching infinitely far away.

Li Dao's offensive continued unabated, with the Kunpeng behind him being pushed to its limit at extreme speed.

In this space that had been stretched out, a person suddenly appeared behind him.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

Li Dao shattered pieces of the void with his lightning strike, and more than a dozen people appeared around him, all staring at Li Dao without saying a word.

Among these people were elderly people in their eighties, middle-aged people with unparalleled domineering presence, young men in their prime, and graceful women with stunning beauty.

Li Dao slowly stopped. Through the eyes of these people, he could clearly see an unconcealable sense of the vicissitudes of time; they were obviously old monsters who had lived through countless years.

They sat there cross-legged, their skin radiant and their bodies glowing with divine light, completely still.

"They're all dead."

These are merely empty shells, devoid of soul, no different from the dead.

Looking at the gradually restored stone walls around him, and then at the bodies that had lost their souls, Li Dao instantly understood the meaning of the eight ancient characters from before.

"Break the heavens and earth to gain eternal life. So that's what it means."

"Abandon your physical body and attain eternal life through your soul."

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he saw a golden crack appear behind each of those people.

The long opening radiated holy light and exuded an indescribable, strange aura, as if a soul had broken free from it, leaving behind such an opening.

"The remains of an immortal!"

A thought inexplicably popped into my mind: ancient legends say that some people left behind their remains after becoming immortals, with only their primordial spirit flying out to step into another world. How similar this situation is to what I am experiencing now.

However, Li Dao scoffed at this method of becoming an immortal. He believed that the physical body was a precious raft for crossing the world, and that if one abandoned the primordial spirit, one would inevitably get lost in the vast world.

"If it were me, I would never abandon my physical body."

"The physical body is the foundation of the Great Dao. If the primordial spirit leaves the physical body, it is like a rootless duckweed. How can it then achieve immortality?"

A series of insights welled up in my mind, and I began to understand the purpose of the mysterious ancient road.

Stepping onto this ancient road is the path to immortality and the test of the Great Dao.

If one chooses to ascend to immortality through the primordial spirit, one must abandon the physical body and embark on a path that seems easy but is unpredictable.

Those cultivators who stepped onto the mysterious ancient road obviously mostly chose this path, and those dozen or so fleshy shells are the best proof of that.

They all chose to ascend to immortality.

However, this test was nothing to Li Dao. On the contrary, seeing these physical bodies strengthened his resolve to follow the Dao.

Thinking of this, looking at the stone wall that had healed again, a look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

Divine power flowed within him, and six illusory figures appeared behind him. Before those six figures, the illusory figures of Kunpeng, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, Thunder Emperor, and Heavenly Horned Ant slowly emerged.

"If the road ahead is unknown and the road behind is nowhere to be seen, then let us forge a path!"

He unleashed four peerless techniques simultaneously, gently clenching his fist, which shimmered with thousands of rays of light.

Four terrifying phantom figures swirled around him, and he unleashed a powerful punch.

Boom!

The entire ancient road trembled, the stone wall in front of him instantly turned into stone dust, and a road was directly smashed out where the fist light reached.

The instant the Great Road appeared, Li Dao felt as if he had entered another world, a world beckoning to him.

An inexplicable pain surged through his body, and his primordial spirit trembled slightly, as if it were about to leave his body.

"Suppress!" Li Dao shouted, and the primordial spirit figure slowly opened its eyes, with three thousand rune wheels behind it emitting an indestructible divine light.

The tremor was instantly suppressed, and the golden gash on Li Dao's back vanished in the blink of an eye.

Li Dao suppressed the feeling of being summoned, took a deep look at the end of the cleared road, and sensed an aura similar to that of the spirit world.

He changed direction and unleashed another punch, piercing through the stone wall and returning directly to the forbidden land.
