However, even with Tuo Qing exerting all his strength, the golden lotus petals still easily pierced through his defenses.

"How is this possible..."

Before Tuoqing could finish speaking, the golden lotus petals pierced his skull, drawing blood and causing him to fall straight backward.

Golden lotus petals drifted into the distance, accidentally entering another battlefield.

boom!

A burst of flames erupted into the sky, the mournful cries of the heavenly dragon echoed through the heavens, the void shattered like a mirror, and the earth cracked open like a dragon writhing in the wind, with deep ravines spreading across the land.

In mid-air, Li Dao clashed with the heavenly dragon. The bronze spear, with its immeasurable power, cleaved the earth-yellow heavenly dragon in two, but the terrifying dragon roar forced Li Dao to retreat step by step.

With the earth's veins severed, the land began to sink inch by inch, and Elder Xu Dao staggered, a mouthful of blood gushing up from his throat.

"Impressive skill!"

The elder's face was full of gloom, but after seeing Li Dao's body almost split apart, he felt much better.

"Although you are a prodigy, the gap between us is not something you can overcome."

"Prepare to die. You've already earned your pride by pushing me to this point."

The elder's sharp words came, but apart from being solemn, Li Dao's face showed no other emotions.

"You're courting death!" Seeing that Li Dao remained so calm, one must know what he was relying on.

"Let's see if that white-haired guy can get back before I kill you!"

"Although we can't kill that white-haired guy, it's worth it to sever his spiritual body!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dao's body trembled slightly, and the black and white intertwined Dao Flame intensified, with streams of vitality bursting forth from his body, rapidly repairing his injuries.

The bronze spear in his right hand clanged, pointing directly at the elder, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"Then let's see if you have the ability."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xudao was instantly enraged, his eyes burning with a raging fire that threatened to consume all his reason.

"Since you're so eager to die, then so be it!"

With a roar, the power of the Void Dao burst forth, its terrifying pressure shattering the void and turning the area into a chaotic battlefield.

laugh!

Just as Elder Xudao's Earth Sword shone brightly, about to strike Li Dao, a crisp sound of air being torn apart came, followed by a faint yet extremely pure sharp light exploding on the battlefield.

The elder felt a chill in his chest, looked down, and his smile froze instantly.

Suddenly, a bloody hole appeared in his chest, and a piercing pain swept over him.

Li Dao, who was opposite him, saw a petal pierce through the chest of Elder Xu Dao, and his eyes immediately shot out a divine light.

With a light touch of his toes, he shattered a corner of the world, and a platinum halo appeared behind him.

Click!

With a gentle turn, the universe seemed to freeze, and the entire world seemed to fall into a state of stagnation.

"cut!"

In this stagnant world, only Li Dao was able to move. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the elder, his spear carrying the force of splitting the heavens, and slashed down heavily.

puff!

Once time and space were restored, Li Dao appeared behind the Void Dao expert, his spear held horizontally at his side, blood dripping from it and crushing a patch of void.

call!

Li Dao exhaled a deep breath, wiped the blood off his spear, and finally felt relieved.

Even though he had taken a half-step into the Void Path, the pressure was still immense when facing a being who was about to enter the late stage of the Void Path mid-stage.

Behind Li Dao, a bloody mark slowly appeared on Elder Xu Dao's neck, eroding his life force and primordial spirit. Feeling his life force rapidly dissipating, his eyes were filled with terror.

"How could this be...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his consciousness plunged into boundless chaos, and the scene fell into complete silence.

Li Dao turned around and looked at the Void Dao expert who had turned into a rain of light and dissipated, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

He raised his hand and grasped the golden lotus petal, but the petal slowly vanished in his hand.

He shook his head, went to a well-preserved mountain range, sat down cross-legged, and quickly recovered.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Dragon Girl, enduring the constant explosions overhead, also infiltrated the tribe's treasury.

Looking at the colorful array of treasures and rare items before her, even she was somewhat surprised.

"With so many treasures, this tribe must be quite wealthy."

The dragon girl whispered something and began to plunder.

Little did they know that the treasures and divine materials here were mostly collected from the battlefields of the previous era, and this was merely a drop in the ocean for a royal family.

Once the situation was settled, Li Dao sat cross-legged on the precipice, the Wheel of Life and Death slowly turning behind him, absorbing the Dao essence that had dissipated between heaven and earth.

With each breath, Li Dao resonated with the heavens and earth, his injuries slowly healing. As time passed, the cracks on his body disappeared without a trace.

Slowly opening his eyes, the light of enlightenment revealed that deep within the tribe, atop the highest mountain, an ancient seal was slowly radiating light.

hum!

The void behind Li Dao rippled like waves, and Dao Yan's figure slowly materialized, his white hair fluttering as if he were a true immortal descending to earth.

pat!

A head was thrown in front of Li Dao; it was Tuo Qing, his face contorted in a grimace, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Is this the power of the Void Dao Peak level? It's truly terrifying." Li Dao looked at Dao Yan, whose face was exactly the same as his own, which made him feel a little strange.

"It will take time to adapt. The golden body has not yet been fully refined. Once the profound mysteries are understood, the strength will surely increase dramatically."

Dao Yan's expression was indifferent, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Li Dao nodded, naturally able to sense everything about Dao Yan, since in a sense, Li Dao and Dao Yan were one person.

"I need to go back into seclusion. I've sensed a barrier in my cultivation realm. Once I've absorbed all the accumulation from the Tribulation Lotus, my cultivation realm will be able to break through." Dao Yan looked at Li Dao, their eyes meeting and their hearts connecting.

"Ahem, how about you take me to that ancient city before you leave?" Li Dao coughed lightly, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"I'm leaving. I am you. I know what you're thinking." Dao Yan said, and with a wave of his hand, Dao patterns filled the sky, and an ancient array reappeared.

Having already left his mark at the Celestial Academy, Dao Yan's figure vanished from the spot in a flash of divine light.

Seeing Dao Yan's disappearing figure, Li Dao shrugged and muttered, "How boring."

His desire was indeed to complete this trial on his own and comprehend the transformation of life and death.

"Senior Brother Li, we've struck it rich this time!"

The dragon girl's voice, tinged with excitement, came over.

A fragrant breeze wafted towards him, and Li Dao turned his head to see the Dragon Girl rushing in front of him.

Seeing her so happy, he felt little emotion. The Tuoqing clan was originally a royal family from another region, and even if only a few relics remained, they would still be a considerable fortune.

"Let's go back first, but before that, we need to go somewhere else."

Li Dao solemnly told the Dragon Girl that there was no rush to divide the spoils of war.

Seeing Li Dao's serious expression, the Dragon Girl's face also became solemn.

"Where?"

Li Dao raised his hand and pointed directly at the highest mountain peak.

"There."

The entire mountain peak resembled a giant lying on the ground, which was none other than the person that Daoist Kui had previously revealed.

laugh!

The two transformed into streaks of light and arrived at the highest mountain peak.

Li Dao hovered in mid-air, looking down at the mountain peak, which resembled a long spear piercing through the giant's brow.

"Who exactly is this person, that he's been nailed to the ground?" The Dragon Girl looked at the humanoid mountain range and was shocked.

"Invaders." Li Dao murmured, then transformed into a streak of light and landed on the mountain range.

Upon arrival, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, and thunderclouds surging with terrifying lightning appeared.

Li Dao was also shocked by the scene before him.

What appeared before him was a huge pit, and in this pit lay skeletons, each in a different posture, but all crawling in the same direction.

In that direction, a large seal emitting a faint light stood there, and beneath the seal, a Dao diagram exuding a captivating aura slowly rotated.

The diagram continuously draws energy from the mountains and feeds it back into the seal, which in turn strengthens the diagram.

This was originally a perfect cycle; as long as it continued to flow, it would inevitably refine the beings suppressed here.

But at this moment, the image was flickering, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Every time the Dao diagram flashed, even though Li Dao was standing at a distance, he felt his heart pound with fear, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"If the seal is broken and the beings inside are freed, it will surely unleash a massacre."

Li Dao's eyes shone brightly, and a jet-black vertical eye behind him slowly opened, making the world before him suddenly clear.

He saw a humanoid figure shrouded in chaos deep within the earth's veins, tightly bound by chains. Just a glance at it caused blood to flow from the terrifying vertical eye behind Li Dao.

Warm blood was also flowing from the corner of Li Dao's eye, and he quickly looked away.

As the person landed around the diagram, in an instant, they felt three completely different forces soaring into the sky.

"Jia wood, Gui water, and Bing fire—this is the cycle of the five elements!"

A look of surprise flashed in Li Dao's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the Earth and Metal longswords he had previously obtained from the two Void Dao experts appeared in his hand.

Buzz!

The moment the longsword appeared, it shone brightly, and with a slight tremor, the entire mountain range trembled.

"What's going on here?" The dragon girl's expression changed as soon as she arrived and saw this terrifying scene.

"Five Elements Seal the Demon".
