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

"I want to follow in the footsteps of Dao Yi and Huang, and I will have no regrets even if I die!" a prodigy said excitedly.

"Dao Yi and Huang have already set off. What are we waiting for? If we are a few steps behind, we will really be out of sight."

The cultivators who were originally wavering immediately made up their minds after hearing that Li Dao and Shi Hao had embarked on the path of trials.

On this day, countless streaks of light flew up from all over the three thousand states and headed towards the edge of the no-man's land.

Li Dao and Shi Hao inspired many cultivators with dreams to embark on this path.

In the outermost region of Shengzhou, the stars shifted, the void trembled, and as Dao patterns spread, an ancient array appeared, accompanied by a blazing white light, and the figures of Li Dao and others slowly materialized.

Li Dao stood atop a great mountain and looked ahead. The towering peak stretched as far as the eye could see, a dark and imposing sight, like a pillar supporting the heavens.

"Have you thought this through? You have one last chance to back out." Sui An reappeared and looked at the group again, asking them solemnly.

“We have already made up our minds,” Li Dao said solemnly.

Sui An nodded without saying anything more, but just as he was about to open the passage, a series of voices rang out from afar:

"Wood, are you planning to leave me here alone?"

Li Dao's heart skipped a beat. He looked behind him and saw the void tremble, and the witch's figure appeared.

When the witch saw that she had finally caught up after rushing so fast, a look of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Why are you here?" Before Li Dao could finish his question, the witch threw herself into his arms.

"Wherever you go, I will go. Don't even think about leaving me alone in these Three Thousand Provinces," the witch said in a muffled voice.

Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er exchanged a glance, a faint smile on their lips.

"Shi Hao, I'm here!" Then another voice rang out after the witch, it was Cao Yusheng.

Chi Chi!

As the void was torn apart, the figures of the Immortal and the Ten-Crown King appeared.

Following the two, several more powerful young prodigies arrived; all of them were cultivators who had displayed their talents in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

This group of cultivators numbered only about a hundred, but they were all the most outstanding talents in the Three Thousand Provinces. While others were still hesitating, they were already on their way, which is why they arrived so quickly.

Seeing so many familiar faces present, Li Dao felt a pang of emotion. Most of the cultivators gathered here were prodigies who had returned from the Immortal Ancient Era.

"Are you thinking about another sister again?" The witch secretly pinched Li Dao's arm, a faint smile on her lips.

Li Dao looked down and saw her cunning eyes, and was immediately speechless.

Sui An was somewhat surprised to see so many talented individuals arrive. He asked everyone again if they wanted to enter, and seeing that no one refused, he stopped waiting.

With a flick of his sleeve, an overwhelming aura of earth-shattering power spread out, and a golden light pierced through the heavens, stirring up the wind and clouds, transforming into a golden road that stretched out in front of him.

"Step onto this road and keep moving forward. As long as you persevere, you will find that ancient city." Sui An's voice drifted out softly.

As he withdrew his sleeves, countless runes rose up within the forbidden area, as if they had been activated, and the long-sealed ancient road was opened.

"This is a path that even the Supreme One has never walked before, so be careful."

"Finally, I wish you all continued success in your martial arts endeavors!"

As Sui An finished speaking, the supreme divine power spread out, and hundreds of people scattered into the forbidden area like raindrops.

Li Dao and the witch held hands, but were forced to separate, turning into two streaks of light and dispersing into the forbidden zone.

Li Dao entered the restricted area, as if stepping into a desolate desert. Before he could even settle down, the restless atmosphere in the air made his hair stand on end.

hum!

The earth trembled slightly, and a beam of light descended from the sky, revealing Li Dao's figure. He slowly opened his eyes to find the surroundings desolate.

The stone pillars, twisted and bizarre by the erosion of time, stand tall, while the soft yellow sand beneath their feet resembles a mysterious swamp, lurking with countless dangers.

All around was silent; the only sound was the beating of his own heart. There were no companions, and everything was unknown.

Li Dao's face was tense. Faced with this unknown situation, he took a step forward, and the Wheel of Life and Death appeared behind him, along with the bronze spear in his hand.

Li Dao walked forward cautiously, taking each step with great care, for even a grain of sand in this area could potentially kill a sect leader.

"what……"

Just then, a shrill scream rang out, instantly shattering the silence. Several miles ahead, cultivators were shouting in terror.

Li Dao frowned, took a step forward, and the sound of the bell and the flash of lightning transformed into an arc of lightning that rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, close to the ground.

laugh!

When he appeared, he saw several naked bodies hanging from a withered ancient tree in front of him, still bleeding, their eyes filled with terror.

Gurgling!

A sucking sound rang out, and the originally naked bodies instantly turned into dried-up human mummies, their blood and even their life essence were sucked dry by the withered wood.

The originally brown deadwood was stained with a touch of crimson, and a touch of life appeared on the deathly branches.

laugh!

The sand caved in, and a branch hurtled toward Li Dao with terrifying suction power.

when!

Li Dao held his spear in front of him and clashed heavily with the branch. The resulting ripples instantly swept in all directions, and the earth began to sink inch by inch.

"You beast!" Li Dao remained motionless, roared, and charged out with his divine power.

laugh!

The sky and earth were a single shade of red and white when Li Dao appeared behind the withered tree, twirling his spear.

boom!

The withered tree behind him instantly shattered, black blood gushing from its roots, emitting a strong, foul stench. The next moment, the black blood was completely absorbed by the sand.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Li Dao felt a sense of unease and, without lingering any longer, continued rushing forward.

However, after he left, the sand trembled, and strange ancient words echoed out, accompanied by strange laughter.

"In ten thousand years, I haven't seen such exquisite food in ages. I'm so lucky!"

"Once I possess your body, I will wreak havoc throughout the nine heavens and ten earths."

On the other side, Li Dao stepped into an oasis, where ancient trees covered the sky and earth without leaving a single gap, and the aged bark wrapped around the trunks like dragon scales.

A primitive and wild atmosphere permeated the land, and Li Dao could only hear his own heartbeat as he walked across it.

"what……"

Just then, another scream came from afar. When Li Dao went over, all that was left was a dried-up corpse that had been completely drained of its contents.

Li Dao's expression changed, but before he could think, another scream came from the other side, but this time there was nothing.

Then screams rang out one after another. Some left behind corpses, while others left nothing behind, as if to lure him over.

At this moment, Li Dao saw that there was nothing left on his feet and suddenly came to his senses, realizing that something was consuming him.

Swish!

The trees behind him rustled, and Li Dao turned around fiercely, swinging his bronze spear. The ancient trees shattered into fragments, but nothing was left behind.

Swish swish!

The next moment, all the trees around him trembled violently. Li Dao's expression turned solemn, and his eyes opened with the opening and closing of his Immortal Eye.

He saw it; beneath the earth, a mass of black mist was moving at incredible speed, and before he knew it, it had surrounded him.

"Come out!" Li Dao's divine power surged, and he forcefully plunged his spear into the ground beneath his feet.

Bang!

The earth was crumbling inch by inch, and spiderweb-like cracks were rapidly spreading in all directions, causing the entire land to tremble violently.

The earth shook, and what was hiding beneath it was shaken out—a grim skull, covered in strange runes, its empty eyes seemingly capable of devouring everything.

"cut!"

Li Dao's spear pierced through the heavens and earth, seemingly about to shatter the entire world; its terrifying sharpness directly shattered the void.

"The Heavenly Horned Ant Treasure Technique?" the sinister head uttered a strange, ancient voice.

boom!

The head, emanating a dense black aura, transformed into a large shield that blocked the way, but it shattered in less than a breath.

when!

The spear collided heavily with the head, instantly creating terrifying ripples. Li Dao felt as if he had struck a piece of immortal gold, and his tiger's mouth was shattered, with blood gushing out.

Bang!

Li Dao retreated rapidly, his face full of solemnity. His previous attack had even struggled to leave a mark on the head.

"This power is far from enough. Haven't you eaten?" A ghostly green flame flickered in those empty eyes, bursting forth with chilling killing intent.

"What exactly is this thing?" Li Dao murmured, his eyes serious.

Li Daoneng could feel that his previous strike had been absorbed by a strange suction force, and that the head was as hard as immortal metal.

Li Dao felt that even if the sect leader came, he might not be able to harm it.

"Hehe, little guy, surrender now. Give me your body and I'll take you to a wonderful realm you may never reach in your entire life!" The head's tone was full of temptation.

"Just some trash who luckily crossed the border, yet dares to speak so arrogantly here." Li Dao's eyes were icy, and killing intent slowly gathered in his right hand.

"Hehe, the capital of the previous era has fallen, and the so-called borderlands will soon crumble. At that time, our realm will surely enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and achieve universal harmony!" The flames leaping in the eyes of that head became even stronger.

"Heh, you've been killed down to just your head, what are you talking about invading the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Li Dao's tone was calm, but his heart sank.

"I didn't suffer this injury in the borderlands, but because this place is too mysterious. My body was severed by some unknown being. Otherwise, your body would have been mine long ago," the head sneered, its tone full of disdain.

"Hehe, is that so?" Li Dao didn't believe it would be that simple. Judging from the ancient language it spoke and the aura of time emanating from its body, it didn't seem like a person from the present world.

"Heh, now that I've satisfied your curiosity after all this talk, you can die. A mere Celestial God cultivator can't possibly cause any trouble in front of me!"

As soon as the head finished speaking, the surrounding void began to distort, and terrifying runes seeped out from the void, radiating a crimson light, as if blood had stained the oasis.

boom!

A terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, causing Li Dao's body to sink and the ground beneath him to crack inch by inch.

hum!
