唳——唳——

The roar of the Taotie came, and the sound wave, like the cry of an infant, swept outwards, shaking even the soul. When the smoke and dust dissipated, its form reappeared.

Compared to its previous appearance, the Taotie has undergone a huge change. Its original brown skin is now tinged with a thin layer of golden light, making it look like a gilded mythical beast.

But this golden light did not make it appear sacred; instead, it amplified its ferocity, and its bright golden pupils were filled with savagery.

boom!

The front kick was raised high and then slammed into the ground. The terrifying force tore through the void, and the crack rushed towards Li Dao.

click!

Li Dao crushed the bone spear, and not wanting to be outdone, he threw out the Refining God Furnace.

The two terrifying attacks collided, and the floating island beneath their feet instantly exploded, crumbling inch by inch, with earth and rocks flying as they crashed into the boundless lake.

Chapter 416 Immortal Seeds Hidden in the Cosmic Lake

Li Dao and the Taotie rushed into the air together, and two completely different pressures swept outwards, shattering the void.

As their auras clashed, strange phenomena suddenly arose in the heavens and earth, with blood raining down and the roars of ten thousand beasts echoing through the air.

The Taotie's eyes were filled with madness. It raised its foot and stomped hard on the void, which immediately cracked open like a spider web. It rushed towards Li Dao like an arrow released from a bow, as if it wanted to tear this world apart.

"Good timing!"

Li Dao was not afraid but delighted. He roared and held the Divine Refining Furnace in his right hand. He then hurled the furnace, and the terrifying force tore through the void, creating a huge hole.

Boom!

The Refining Furnace slammed heavily onto the Taotie's body, and the terrifying sound waves that surged out were like two pieces of immortal metal rubbing together, producing a piercing sound.

boom!

The surrounding floating islands collapsed one after another, and waves hundreds of feet high surged up on the lake shore.

The Taotie's attack faltered slightly, and Li Dao suddenly lunged forward, clenching his fist and unleashing a powerful blast that distorted the very air.

Boom!

The blow landed squarely on the Taotie's body, causing it to freeze abruptly, followed by a chilling sound of bones cracking.

A look of horror flashed in Taotie's eyes as it looked at the seemingly frail human in front of it, never expecting him to possess such terrifying power.

Li Dao was unaware of the fear in its heart. With a tremor, runes rose up around him like a tide. Behind him, a horned ant roared to the sky, its will to overturn the world surging like a river.

From a distance, the Dragon Girl and Qing Shuang felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Li Dao's ferocious appearance.

"That's a Taotie at the Void Dao Realm, yet it's so weak in his hands," Qing Shuang murmured, momentarily lost in thought.

"It's not quite at the Void Dao realm. There's a strange Dao seed hidden deep within the ruins that allowed Taotie's physical body to reach the Void Dao realm first, but it's still lacking in other aspects."

"However, Brother Li's power has also broken through the limits of the Celestial Gods and reached the Void Dao level!"

The dragon girl explained from the side, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

In mid-air, Li Dao and Taotie were engaged in a purely physical confrontation, their moves primitive and brutal.

The Taotie's claws were enough to tear everything apart, leaving scratch marks in the void that would not heal for a long time. Li Dao's fists were as heavy as mountains, and the Taotie would vomit blood violently with each punch.

Boom boom boom!

In mid-air, heaven and earth were turned upside down, lakes and seas flowed backward, and the void shattered inch by inch like a mirror, with cracks extending for hundreds of miles.

Li Dao's bright red hair was flying wildly, and his bare upper body revealed strong and smooth muscle lines. Dao patterns were wrapped around his right arm, emitting a faint red light.

With his feet planted on the Refining Furnace, his eyes flashed with a divine light that could pierce through illusions, easily dodging the Taotie's attacks, and always managing to seize an opening to retaliate.

As they went back and forth, the Taotie's power gradually weakened.

"Shaking the mountains, suppressing the gods!"

Li Dao clenched his right fist tightly, the true meaning of life and death flowing through his fist. The piercing coldness caused the void to freeze for a moment, and a chilling frost condensed on it.

The phantom of the Skyhorn Ant slowly materialized behind him. With a gentle nudge of its horn, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the sky, demonstrating the ultimate power.

The Taotie missed its target with its claws, and suddenly felt a chill rush from its tailbone straight to the top of its head. It roared and its blood essence began to burn.

puff!

However, Li Dao's fist was like a spear, instantly piercing through its body. Blood gushed out, staining the lake beneath it red. Several large floating islands around it collapsed and sank to the lakeshore.

Li Dao slowly withdrew his fist, feeling the golden light still gathering on Taotie's body. He raised his hand to form a seal and directly summoned the Divine Refining Furnace.

The furnace mouth opened, and clusters of Dao fire interwoven with the true meaning of life and death directly enveloped the Taotie's body.

Zizizi!

As the divine power of the Dao Fire burst forth, the Taotie's body was gradually refined into a blood-red bead.

"Once it is destroyed in one go, it will have no chance to recover."

Li Dao raised his hand and slowly caught the bead. It was warm to the touch, and a faint golden light remained on the surface of the blood bead. As soon as he touched that golden light, a feeling of longing surged through his body.

"What's this?"

While wondering, he didn't slow down and swallowed the blood bead directly. In just an instant, surging energy flowed through his body like a mighty river.

The flesh-and-blood furnace within Li Dao's body manifested, rapidly refining the blood beads. His body emitted a bewitching red light, as if his body were about to catch fire, and the surrounding space distorted.

Once everything returned to normal, Li Dao slowly opened his eyes. Refining the blood bead didn't significantly improve his strength, but as those strands of golden light entered his body, his physique grew, and he could feel some deficiency being replenished.

"This golden light seems to be some kind of rule. Absorbing this light can replenish the missing Dao principles within the body," Li Dao murmured.

His eyes also brightened a bit. The Great Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is incomplete, and cultivation in this realm will inevitably be affected by the incompleteness of the Dao principles.

Even though he had absorbed fragments of immortal rules before, the lack of order and laws within his body was still present and could not be resolved overnight.

"Moreover, it seems that the bones have also changed."

When Li Dao probed into his body with his divine sense, he saw that a section of the finger bone in his right hand had turned golden, exuding a sense of immortality and indestructibility.

Just as he was investigating, the dragon girl and her companion also came over.

"How is Fellow Daoist Li? Is he alright?" The Dragon Girl's gentle voice rang out, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

However, Qing Shuang, who was behind her, blushed slightly when she saw Li Dao's well-defined muscles.

Li Dao snapped out of his daze, a white robe materializing amidst flashes of divine light, and smiled at the Dragon Girl, saying:

"Small things."

Do you know anything about these ruins?

It was just a casual question, but the Dragon Girl nodded solemnly.

Li Dao was somewhat surprised and gestured for her to say something. Qing Shuang also looked over with curiosity.

"This place was originally the residence of an immortal. After the immortal fell, this palace was hidden in a forbidden area."

“Deep within this palace lies a celestial seed, rumored to be the Dao seed fused with by that immortal. However, it has never been discovered. Once, a supreme being came to this forbidden zone in search of that Dao seed, but was repelled by the terrifying existence within the forbidden zone.”

The dragon girl's tone carried a hint of curiosity. She was also very curious about the so-called immortal seed, otherwise she wouldn't have entered this palace, which was already off the path opened up by the Heavenly God Academy.

A thoughtful look flashed in Li Dao's eyes. Feeling the throbbing sensation within his body, he made a decision: the fact that he could feel this way must be of great help to him.

If we don't go this time, we don't know if we'll have another chance to come here.

"I wish to go and investigate. You two..." Before Li Dao could finish speaking, the Dragon Girl interrupted:

“I am also very curious about that immortal seed. Fellow Daoist Li, I will go with you.”

Seeing the two looking at her, Qing Shuang thought for a moment and then shook her head.

Her strength would only be a burden to the two of them, so she didn't intend to cause them any trouble.

“In that case, Fellow Daoist Qing Shuang, please wait for us in the ancient city.” Li Dao nodded to her, and after sending her back to the Great Dao, he and the Dragon Girl headed deeper into the ruins.

With towering mountains and vast seas, the environment suddenly changed as the two continued deeper into the ruins. There was no sign of any restricted area; it was as if they had entered a fairyland.

Cranes soar, and various mythical beasts and auspicious creatures dart through the forest, while the flowing water adds a touch of ethereal charm.

Li Dao and the Dragon Girl walked through the mountains and forests like two mortals who had mistakenly entered a heavenly realm, thus disturbing the peace of the place.

hum!

As the earth trembled slightly, a series of rumbling sounds, accompanied by a cacophony of roars, came from the distant mountains and forests, rushing towards the two of them.

This is a beast tide.

"Be careful," Li Dao said to the dragon girl behind him, gripping his spear tightly, already prepared for battle.

"Hmm." The dragon girl nodded solemnly.

Roar!

However, just as the two were ready to unleash their fury, a roar powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks came from the forest, and the violently shaking forest suddenly fell silent.

Roar—roar—

Immediately, roars of beasts echoed from all around, and the ferocious beasts that had been charging towards the two of them all turned around.

The two looked at each other, but they both became secretly wary of the sudden roar of the beast.

"What kind of ferocious beast's roar is that? Such terrifying pressure!" the dragon girl murmured. As a dragon, she could feel the pressure emanating from the top predator even more.

Li Dao shook his head, startled by the roar. The roar was enough to scatter all the beasts, showing that its master's strength was not to be underestimated.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, a voice as grand and majestic as a great bell rang out from the void and slowly flowed into their ears.

"For outsiders who witness the signs of the immortals are destined by Heaven."

"Let's first come to this blessed land."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden road stretched across the void, reaching right beneath their feet.

When the Dragon Girl heard that voice, she felt her muscles tense up and looked at Li Dao with a serious expression.

This aura is truly terrifying, and the ability to summon a golden path at will is simply too terrifying.

"Let's go. Since we've been invited, we won't make a move." Li Dao shook his head, looking towards the end of the golden road, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

After thinking it over, the Dragon Girl agreed with Li Dao's assessment. If the other party was hostile, they could have just attacked directly; there was no need to expend so much effort.

The two walked together up the golden road, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became illusory. The golden road rapidly contracted, taking them straight to the edge of a fairy lake shrouded in celestial mist.
