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

Li Dao's mind was completely absorbed in that mysterious ancient road, and he had no awareness of the outside world.

Tread!

As he took a step forward, the terrifying power descending from the heavens crushed his body, leaving him paralyzed on the ancient road.

Blood gushed out, staining the ancient road beneath his feet, but Li Dao's eyes were exceptionally resolute. With each breath, the vitality within his body was inexhaustible, slowly adapting to the terrifying pressure. He then used the ancient Willow God technique to begin repairing his body.

He slowly got up and walked forward, repeating the cycle endlessly, until finally Li Dao saw the end of the ancient road.

"Finally...are we almost there?"

A new light appeared in his eyes, and his unsteady steps became firm.

But when he reached the end, he was shocked and a look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

This is not the end of this ancient road, but rather the road has ended.

Blood gushed from Li Dao's body, dripping into the endless abyss. He stood above the abyss, the ancient path broken, one step forward leading to the endless abyss.

Outside, Li Dao's originally firm steps became hesitant, as mottled laws of power intertwined and continuously eroded his body.

The Wheel of Life and Death behind Li Dao stopped spinning, and cracks appeared on it. A series of subtle but crisp cracking sounds echoed on the Cosmic Lake.

Can you get through this final hurdle?

"This is a path of physical refinement, and also a path of self-examination."

Kui Daoren's eyes were deep, and as he stood by the lake, his gaze seemed to pierce through layers of heaven and earth, seeing Li Dao standing on the edge of the abyss.

At this moment, Li Dao, looking at the endless abyss, fell into silence. He could feel that taking another step forward would truly mean certain death.

This is not the Heavenly Immortal Academy's ladder to heaven probing the heart of the Dao; it is Heaven and Earth questioning him and testing whether he is qualified to resume the broken path.

Just as he hesitated, ripples spread across the center of the cosmic lake, and then, within the mysterious space where Li Dao was located, a faint Daoist voice resounded:

"What exactly is your Dao?"

This sound was neither male nor female, existing between reality and illusion, its form unseen, yet Li Dao felt that its presence was right beside him, or perhaps omnipresent.

"My path...my path..."

As Li Dao heard the question, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"My path lies beneath my feet."

Li Dao's gaze gradually hardened, as if he were speaking to that mysterious being, or perhaps to himself.

As he made up his mind, he took a step forward, and the entire ancient road trembled and radiated golden light. A set of steps suddenly appeared out of thin air above the abyss.

Tatata!

His steps grew lighter and lighter, and steps seemed to grow out beneath his feet. Wisps of golden mist swept out from all directions, slowly merging into his body. The aura emanating from his body was identical to the path beneath his feet.

Li Dao looked behind him and saw that the original bluestone road had been overturned and replaced by a brand new golden road.

Click!

With a crisp breaking sound, Li Dao's mind returned, and the world before him suddenly became clear.

Li Dao stood on a seven-colored beach, where each grain of sand was a world unto itself, and in front of him, a golden statue slowly sat cross-legged in mid-air.

Strands of the power of law continuously flowed into the golden body, and the forbidden power emanating from it caused Li Daoxin's mind to tremble violently even with just a slight perception.

The golden figure seemed to exist outside the world. Although it was right in front of him, it was as if it were outside the myriad realms, with endless space and time separating the two of them.

"This is the master's Dao Seed, the Golden Body Dao Seed. Golden means immortal, so it can also be called the Immortal Dao Seed."

Kui Daoren's voice rang out leisurely, his tone full of pride.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Dao's eyes. Even though he knew about many Dao Seeds, he had never heard of the Immortal Dao Seed before.

"This seed was found by the master in the depths of chaos. He never fused with it, and it was left behind after the master died in battle."

"I once heard him say that this Dao Seed has transcended the category of Dao Seed, formed its own immortal Dao, and created an immortal golden body."

Kui Daoren's eyes were filled with excitement. If he could fuse with this Dao Seed, even the worst celestial god could possess extraordinary talent.

A strange look flashed in Li Dao's eyes, and he understood the reason why his body was emanating a sense of longing.

This Dao Seed is extremely attractive to a cultivator like him who focuses on body refinement. If he can merge with it, he can immediately enter the Void Dao level, and not just any Void Dao. His physical body can break through all laws, making him an unsolvable existence within the Void Dao.

"The previous road blockage was..." Li Dao inquired about the ancient road.

"That is your path, and to a certain extent, that is the state of the path you have chosen—a dead end..."

Kui Daoren gave a brief explanation, and when he looked at Li Dao, his gaze became somewhat strange.

"But there's no need to worry. Even if the path is broken, as long as this fruit is integrated, the broken path can be restored."

Master Kui patted Li Dao on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone.

However, Li Dao fell silent for a long time before asking Kui Daoren a question.

"The broken path has been restored. Was it because I walked out of it, or because this divine being trodden it out?"

Upon hearing this, Kui Daoren looked at Li Dao with some surprise, but he also fell silent.

Whether it's the Dao of the Dao Seed itself or the Dao that one must walk, the difference is hard to say. But looking at Li Dao's resolute eyes, there were still some things he didn't say.

Seeing this, Li Dao said nothing more and, looking at the golden body of Dao seed in front of him, made his decision.

"I will fuse with this seed, but not by myself," Li Dao murmured.

A hint of doubt flashed in Kui Daoren's eyes. Just as he was about to ask Li Dao, Li Dao's body shone with golden light, and divine runes spread out from his feet, gradually forming an array.

"Dao Fruit, manifest." With Li Dao's soft voice, a dazzling light burst forth, followed by a powerful pressure that permeated the entire area.

hum!

With a gentle ripple in the void, a figure emerged from the array beneath his feet, standing tall in white robes and armor, with a face as handsome as jade, red lips and white teeth, resembling a divine king.

When Kui Daoren saw the white-haired Li Dao, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, as he sensed an aura of the Great Dao's origin emanating from him.

"This is your Dao Fruit? You actually separated it? But wait, why is this Dao Fruit stronger than you?"

What are you planning to do?

Kui Daoren asked in surprise, a strong premonition in his heart.

Li Dao didn't say much. He bit his finger, and blood essence gushed out. He raised his hand like a brush and carved intricate Dao patterns in mid-air. Blood essence gushed out wherever his finger touched, leaving only runes full of rich Dao essence.

As Li Dao's face turned slightly pale, a large formation had already taken shape, exuding a rich Daoist aura.

"From fake to real, life and death reversed."

"Today I will test my Great Dao and refine life through death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired Li Dao suddenly sat cross-legged in the middle of the blood refining formation, slowly closed his eyes, and the Dao lotus bloomed beneath him. He was completely immersed in a state of emptiness and clarity.

Immediately, Li Dao turned his gaze to the golden body Dao seed, his eyes flashing with the light of the piercing divine light, and raised his hand to take the golden body Dao seed into his palm.

"Go!" With a flick of his wrist, the golden seed of Dao landed precisely into the formation.

"Blood Refinement, activate!" With Li Dao's shout, the Blood Refinement Formation began to emanate strange fluctuations.

The Dao Diagram of Life and Death slowly appeared, with the white-haired Li Dao and the golden body of the Dao Seed standing on either side of life and death, facing each other, and the Dao essence permeated the entire scene.

At this moment, Kui Daoren was well aware of Li Dao's intentions: he was preparing to merge the Golden Body Dao Seed with his own Dao Fruit.

"He's simply insane. His Dao Fruit can already manifest in the world, which is already an anomaly. Now he's going to fuse the Dao Fruit with the Dao Seed. Is he preparing to create living beings?"

Looking at Li Dao, Kui Daoren felt that the other party was really too crazy, but he also felt a little expectant, because no one had ever walked such a path before.

The transformation of the Dao Fruit alone has trapped countless living beings. Only immortals could do such a thing, but Li Dao accomplished it by sheer chance.

Isn't this also a kind of divine will?

Chapter 418 Dao Yan

On the field, Li Dao sat cross-legged in front of the formation, and with a wave of his hand, another drop of his essence blood merged into the formation.

As his essence and blood were injected, the Dao Diagram of Life and Death slowly began to rotate, and the Dao Fruit and Dao Seed, which sat at the two ends of life and death, subtly developed a connection.

"With the Dao Fruit as the core, the golden body as the bone, the essence and blood as the guide, and life and death as the bridge, the fusion of the two is creation."

"The creation of Yin and Yang, the transformation of life and death, all confirm the cycle of life and death in our Dao."

Strange Daoist sounds burst forth from his body. With a wave of his hand and sleeve, not only was his essence blood flung into the formation, but his insights into life and death also continuously flowed into it.

Rumble!

The earth trembled, and thunder dragons flashed in the sky, spreading a terrifying aura of destruction.

Countless terrifying beings within the forbidden zone felt a chill run down their spines as they sensed the aura of the extinct lightning tribulation in the sky.

"Which fellow Daoist is defying the heavens and has attracted the aura of tribulation lightning?" An ancient being transmitted its voice across the land.

"Heh, the tribulation of lightning won't appear in this era. This should be an anomaly. It should just slumber. Fellow Daoists, please stop worrying about what's happening outside." Some ancient supreme experts knew what was going on at a glance.

Seeing the strange phenomenon appear in the heavens, Master Kui gently stomped his foot, and a thin ray of clear light instantly enveloped the entire cosmic lake.

When she looked at Li Dao, her eyes also showed a hint of admiration.

"Good lad, you've actually made such a commotion. But I like it. If it can really create new life, that would be a wonderful thing."

Li Dao could not hear what Kui Daoren said. At this moment, his face was ashen, and the Wheel of Life and Death behind him was spinning continuously, dropping countless energies of life and death that surged into the formation.

Within the formation, the Blood Refining Formation emanated a terrifying crimson light. At its center, the boundary between life and death had become blurred, and the Dao Fruit and Dao Seed slowly merged, bursting forth with an indescribable power.

Time passed slowly, and Li Dao continuously poured his insights into the formation, verifying his Dao and constantly deducing his next path.

As time went on, Li Dao's condition worsened, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter. A profound and mysterious Daoist aura swirled around him, making him seem like an enlightened being about to ascend to immortality.

Within that blood-refining formation, a figure sat cross-legged, with golden bones and flesh, eyes like a saint, and a form like an immortal.

The Dao Diagram of Life and Death was constantly circulating beneath him, and simply sitting there exuded a transcendent Daoist aura.

The two energies of life and death continuously flowed into His body from the Dao diagram beneath Him, filling His flesh and meridians.

hum!

Before the formation, Li Dao participated in the entire process of the fusion of the two, deeply experiencing the process from nothing to something, and a profound and mysterious understanding also surged into his whole body.

"Yin and Yang give rise to life and death, and life and death give rise to reincarnation."

"Through nine lives and nine deaths, one attains immortality."
