The bronze spear collided with the greatsword, and the magic-breaking effect of the spear shattered the greatsword and pierced through the Dharma image.

puff!

Blood Shark coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief. He was a mid-stage Void Path cultivator, yet he had been defeated so easily.

"Defeating you by my hand is an honor you will remember for a lifetime." Li Dao appeared behind him at some point and pointed a finger at the back of Blood Shark's head.

puff!

With a loud bang, a thick stench of blood filled the air, and a headless corpse fell from mid-air.

In just a few breaths, Li Dao achieved the feat of defeating one person, seriously injuring another, and killing a third, all while being the one who attacked the one above.

Li Dao raised his hand and summoned back the bronze spear, which hovered in mid-air. Half of his body shone with gold as if it were cast from gold, and he held the spear as if he were a war god who had fought from ancient times.

Life force was surging within him, and Li Dao felt as if it was about to burst forth from his body. His skin and hair were radiating a crystalline divine light, and his whole body was permeated with a faint fragrance.

A drop of blood dripped from the split tiger's mouth, landing on the shattered earth beneath him. In the blink of an eye, vegetation grew wildly, and the earth was tinged with green.

Bathed in divine light, Li Dao's injuries were completely healed in the blink of an eye, and his condition was better than ever before, returning him to his peak.

The vitality within the body also reached its peak at this moment.

"This is the ultimate state of life."

Life force surged within Li Dao's body, condensing into a silver-white mark between his brows—the mark of life.

As the mark of life settled, Li Daoling's mind became clear, the path ahead was clear, and he looked at Chu Jin with indifferent eyes.

Seeing Blood Shark killed and feeling the intense life force surrounding Li Dao, Chu Jin, who had been forced to retreat, also felt immense pressure.

"What a monster! What kind of path has he taken!" Even he felt immense pressure at this moment.

Even among the many royal talents from other realms, there was no one who could match Li Dao.

"If we do not bury you here today, you will surely become a great scourge to our realm."

As Chu Jin spoke, he reached out and removed the black silk ribbon from his eyes. His robes fluttered without wind, and a terrifying killing intent burst forth from his body.

"With a clear sword heart, one can glimpse the supreme sword path. Let my body burn, let my primordial spirit perish. The myriad worlds are like a prison, where only the sword and the Dao reside..."

"Swordsmanship! Ashes!"

A pair of blazing white eyes, brimming with supreme sword intent, were revealed. As the eyes opened and closed, a crack suddenly appeared in the void.

laugh!

A figure resembling Chu Jin emerged from the crack, wielding a black sword and slowly walking towards them, his sword intent invisibly cutting through everything.

His face was indifferent. He raised his sword and made a light slash, tearing open the void. He walked out from the crack, his sword intent overwhelming all the heavens.

"One sword strikes nothing, one sword strikes as ashes."

Chapter 425 Life, Death, Rise and Fall

With a single step, the void shattered inch by inch, and terrifying sword intent swept outwards like a tidal wave. Above the nine heavens, a long sword pierced the universe and fiercely attacked Li Daozhen.

The sword's might swept across the land, shattering the earth inch by inch. The sky suddenly darkened, leaving only that one sword in the world, powerful enough to cleave the heavens and split the earth, devouring everything.

The terrifying pressure caused the space beneath Li Dao to tremble violently, and invisible sword energy was cutting into his body, instantly producing a metallic clang.

"The Mark of Life!"

Li Dao pointed to the mark between his eyebrows, drawing upon the essence of heaven and earth, and fiercely shot it toward the long sword.

Click!

The Seal of the Way of Life floated away, but the moment it collided with the longsword, it shattered the giant sword.

Tread!

Ripples spread through the void as Chu Jin, a swordsman wielding sword intent, slowly walked forward, his imposing aura seemingly capable of piercing the clouds.

"Sacrificing oneself to the sword path, what a supernatural power! But it's far from enough to kill me!" Divine light burst forth from Li Dao's eyes as he raised his hand to form a seal, and the void behind him shattered instantly.

"I've arrived." Dao Yan's emotionless voice rang out, followed by the terrifying aura of the pinnacle of the Void Dao that permeated the entire area.

Chu Jin, bleeding from all seven orifices, sat cross-legged on the shattered earth, feeling the chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.

"This aura is..."

Tread!

From the void rift behind Li Dao, Dao Yan, dressed in white robes with white hair and imbued with Daoist essence, slowly walked out.

hum!

Landing beside Li Dao, he pointed a finger, and a golden dot pierced through layers of space, arriving in front of the swordsman Chu Jin in the blink of an eye.

when!

He held his longsword horizontally to his side, blocking the oncoming golden point, but his body was still forced to retreat.

"Suppress Xuan and Seal Heaven!" Dao Yan took a step forward, and in a flash, he appeared directly in front of Sword Dao Chu Jin, spreading his five fingers and pressing down.

Boom boom boom!

Several divine pillars rose from the ground, each engraved with ancient sealing Dao patterns. Dao Yan pointed a finger at the divine pillar in front of him.

hum!

Several divine pillars emitted divine light simultaneously, trembling slightly. As they resonated with each other, an invisible ripple hurtled towards Chu Jin, the swordsman.

puff!

Sword Dao Chu Jin's sword intent was suppressed into his body, as if he had sunk into an endless swamp, and cracks instantly spread all over his body.

"broken!"

With a shout, the divine pillar shot out golden chains that pierced through the body of Sword Dao Chu Jin in the blink of an eye. With a gentle swing of the chains, the once majestic Sword Dao Chu Jin, whose sword intent soared to the heavens, was instantly shattered.

At the moment his innate divine power was shattered, Chu Jin also suffered a backlash, his internal organs ruptured, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his red and white eyes were filled with blood.

"what……"

With a scream, he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

laugh!

Li Dao shattered the void and landed not far from Chu Jin, his eyes filled with amazement. Chu Jin's supernatural power had indeed impressed him, and he had vaguely come into contact with the Dao of Time.

"Your supernatural abilities are impressive. You use your eyes as a medium to summon the 'future' you can see. But even so, you are destined to be defeated by me today."

Li Dao pressed his spear against Chu Jin's brow and spoke calmly.

"Ha, I have lost today, but my clan and my realm will avenge me." Chu Jin's body was convulsing, but his face remained calm as he quietly awaited death.

"I'll wait."

puff!

Li Dao whispered, and the spear pierced through Chu Jin's head, obliterating Chu Jin's primordial spirit as well.

Boom!

Turning around, two heads were found lying on the ground; they were none other than the woman and Blood Shark's followers.

Dao Yan crossed his arms, his eyes were indifferent, but his aura fluctuated, clearly indicating that he had reached a critical point in his cultivation, and the aura emanating from his body was extremely mysterious.

"I am in seclusion, preparing to break through to a higher realm," Dao Yan said calmly.

Li Dao felt helpless, knowing Dao Yan's situation, but still said lightly:

"Since we're already here, let's go and destroy that altar."

Dao Yan nodded and said nothing more.

The two transformed into streaks of light and returned to the valley they had been in before. Looking at the altar that was still radiating divine light, Dao Yan's eyes burst forth with divine light.

His body emanated Daoist energy, and the supreme power of the Void Dao burst forth. A golden Dharma image manifested behind him, and he unleashed a powerful punch.

The altar began to crumble inch by inch, and the gate of light also began to shake violently, with cracks spreading rapidly.

"Chu Jin? Who are you?!"

An aged, slightly questioning voice came from within the portal, clearly indicating that the speaker had also noticed the anomaly.

Li Dao's eyes were calm as he directly threw the three heads into the portal.

"Unauthorized trespassing will result in death!" Li Dao said coldly.

Click!

The altar shattered the moment the words left his mouth.

On the other side of the portal, an old man dressed in black robes, upon seeing the three bloody heads before him, instantly flew into a rage:

"Insanity!"

"Find that person for me, and I will tear him to pieces!"

The roar of fury echoed throughout the entire independent world, and the celestial phenomena changed abruptly.

Meanwhile, outside an ancient city near the imperial city, many cultivators gathered, all there to compete for the Qilin. Hearing that the Qilin had appeared in this area, many people came to see it.

Shi Hao and others were among them.

"The White Qilin has been spotted around here before; I wonder if we can find it," the Dragon Girl said with a serious expression.

"I don't know either. These things are all about luck. I don't even know where Senior Brother Li is right now." Shi Hao scratched his head, also without much clue.

"That wooden thing must have received a special mission from the Supreme One. His strength is far superior to ours. Not letting him act with us is also for the sake of fairness," the witch said with some helplessness.

Meanwhile, Li Dao, whom they had been longing for, was in that valley, constantly cultivating.

Dao Yan had already returned, and before parting, he advised Li Dao to prepare for seclusion to break through his cultivation level, which made Li Dao feel somewhat embarrassed.

Seated cross-legged atop a solitary peak, the birthmark between his brows shimmered with an eerie light, drawing upon the boundless essence of heaven and earth.

Li Dao was surrounded by rich essence, his skin was as clear as jade, and he radiated a dazzling divine light. With each breath, he resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

A rich vitality emanated from his body, and plants began to grow wildly around him, creating strange ripples that covered everything in their path with a layer of green.

"When yang is at its peak and yin is at its decline, things will eventually turn into decline, and after the worst comes the best."

"The cycle of birth and death leads to reincarnation."
