Amidst the hazy, ethereal mist, Li Dao's body radiated a faint divine light, which grew increasingly intense.

The life force within Li Dao's body was being rapidly taken over by death energy, but under such circumstances, Jia De's previous attack, combined with the divine power that came with Andu, was like opening up his Ren and Du meridians.

The vitality that had been eroded slowly overflowed and tempered his skin, which had become dull.

The wisp of divine power, both violent and gentle, flowed through his body, guiding him to break free from the shackles within.

Li Dao seemed to have an epiphany. The Wheel of Life and Death behind him trembled slightly and suddenly shattered, turning into specks of light that scattered all around, as if transforming into a small star universe.

Those who were protecting Li Dao felt that the Dao essence in the world suddenly became richer, no less than that of cultivating on a sacred mountain. Unconsciously, they also slowly sank into it.

"What's going on with them? They all seem to have attained enlightenment?" A cultivator asked in astonishment, looking at the silence around Li Dao and the witch and others with suspicion.

"As expected of the number one prodigy in the Three Thousand Dao Continents, not only was he able to survive the attack of a great cultivator, but he was also able to guide others to comprehend the Dao. Truly extraordinary!" some cultivators said with envy.

Surrounded by the crowd, Li Dao seemed to have an epiphany. The starry universe was rapidly closing in and reconstructing behind him, but this time it was vastly different from the last.

The black and white wheel of life and death had grown a full circle larger, while at the center, a hazy and chaotic wheel of reincarnation was constantly manifesting.

The two are nested together and suspended behind him, which is called the Wheel of Life and Death.

This also means that Li Dao has taken another solid step in the path of reincarnation. It is evident that his skin, which had gradually become withered and dull due to his journey through the path of reincarnation, has once again become radiant.

The mark of life emanated from his brow, spreading out faint ripples that swept across his entire body. The vitality within him, which was about to be completely eroded by the death energy, was being constantly tempered and strengthened as the death energy increased.

Therefore, the more death energy accumulates within the body, the stronger the physical body becomes; this can be considered a kind of reincarnation.

After this renewed enlightenment, Li Dao was able to feel the final barrier of the Void Path once again. However, this step seemed like an abyss, and he felt that once he stepped out, he would surely suffer a great calamity.

"It will need to undergo another transformation. When death energy permeates the entire body, it will be the day when life is extinguished and the cycle of reincarnation is complete. When it awakens again, its strength will greatly increase, and it will have the ability to truly break through to the Void Path."

A ripple of emotion stirred within Li Dao. Although he felt immense pressure, a competitive spirit was also stirred within him.

The death energy of heaven and earth gathered in his body, and his life force was slowly draining away. But on the contrary, his physique became more and more terrifying. Just sitting there, one could feel that his body was open to all directions, like a god or a demon.

At the same time, in that chaos, Jia De let out a miserable scream as half of his body was shattered, and his body fell into the boundless chaos, looking utterly disheveled.

"Stubborn to the end!" The old man's cold snort followed immediately.

Even Sui An, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Jia De, such a great master, was almost killed in one move. Where was his previous imposing demeanor?

Just as the old man was about to make another move, Sui An also spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop here."

The other party was, after all, a great cultivator at the Escape One Realm. The fact that he had ended up like this was already a statement from the inner city. Killing him would only cause more trouble.

Upon hearing this, the old man slowly withdrew his supernatural powers and said in a calm tone:

"Go into seclusion. We will release you when you have figured things out."

Jia De was in a daze and before he could hear what the two were saying, he was enveloped in a ball of light and thrown into the darkness in the distance.

"Fellow Daoist, the inner city was at fault this time, so consider this compensation to that little fellow."

A dark-colored token, forged from compressed starlight, fell into Sui An's hands.

Looking at the token in his hand, Sui An felt surprised but not too much. He cupped his hands in greeting to the old man and then disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 430 Quasi-King Li Baiyi

On the ruined immortal mountain, Li Dao slowly opened his eyes, and terrifying ripples spread around him, resonating throughout the entire star.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the terrifying Divine Eye of Insight tore through the void above his head, revealing the boiling magma deep within the great star.

All the cultivators watching the spectacle felt an overwhelming pressure sweep over them, causing them to stagger.

The witch and the others were also shocked by this power, and after understanding the reason, they all showed surprise.

"He actually fell into enlightenment without even realizing it. Boss is truly amazing!" Lightning Boy's body was crackling with golden lightning, like a primordial thunder spirit.

"I've benefited from Fellow Daoist Li's kindness." A look of gratitude flashed in Chang Gongyan's eyes.

"I wonder if this piece of wood is alright." The witch's gaze was fixed on Li Dao in the mist, and she pursed her lips tightly.

hum!

Just as everyone was lost in thought, golden light dispelled the mist, and Li Dao slowly walked over. With the help of Sui An and the divine medicine, his injuries had been restored to their peak condition.

Moreover, his aura was even more terrifying than before, like a walking demon, his blood and qi like boiling magma, and his body like celestial metal.

"You blockhead scared me to death!"

When the witch saw Li Dao approaching, she immediately threw herself into his arms, her eyes slightly red and devoid of her usual cunning.

"I'm sorry to have worried you." Li Dao smiled gently and held him tightly in his arms.

Just as this tender moment was unfolding, Lightning's raspy voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Boss! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Lightning Boy's eyes were filled with excitement as he lunged towards Li Dao.

The two were startled awake, and the witch immediately pushed Li Dao's hand away, her lips curling back into that ambiguous smile.

Li Dao's face darkened, and he directly slammed the lightning bolt into the mountain, saying irritably:

"I'm not dead yet, and I'm already howling here."

At this moment, Long Nu and the others also came over. Chang Gongyan looked at Li Dao with some curiosity and said with surprise, "Brother Li, your aura has become stronger again, but why do you feel like you are about to run out of energy?"

This contradictory atmosphere immediately attracted everyone's curiosity.

"I've reached a crucial point in my cultivation, which is why I'm doing this," Li Dao said vaguely to the crowd with a smile.

"I see." Everyone nodded. Since it concerned matters of the path to enlightenment, no one asked any further questions.

Just as everyone was talking, the void suddenly broke open, and Sui An's figure slowly appeared, with one hand behind his back, showing supreme divine power.

"Greetings, senior!"

When everyone saw Sui An arrive, they greeted him in unison.

"Let's disperse. The essence of this sacred mountain is not to be missed." Sui An waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.

Li Dao also told everyone not to worry and to hurry back to cultivate, as this place was indeed a treasure trove for cultivation and a good place for them to solidify their foundation.

After everyone dispersed, only Li Dao and Sui An remained. The two stared at each other for a long while before Sui An patted Li Dao on the shoulder and said:

"Good lad, to be able to survive in the hands of a Dunyi, you are indeed exceptionally talented."

His eyes were full of admiration, and Li Dao scratched his head shyly.

If Jiade was determined to kill him, he would not have been able to hold out until Sui'an arrived. It can only be said that Jiade was too greedy, wanting both his life and his opportunities and secrets.

"Senior, what business do you have with me?" Li Dao's eyes gleamed. He had been beaten up for no reason, and he deserved some compensation.

"You little rascal!" Sui An cursed softly, and with a flick of his sleeve, he led Li Dao to a huge doorway.

That gate was truly enormous, its entire body a deep black that seemed capable of swallowing even light. Standing amidst the chaos, it soared into the clouds, as if separating the realms of Yin and Yang.

Standing before the gate, Li Dao felt as if an immortal was standing before him. In a glance back, he saw an extremely tragic scene of war.

Immortals shed blood, supreme beings fell like rain, heaven and earth wept as blood rained down like pillars, an ancient realm was almost destroyed, it was an extremely terrifying scene, everything was withering away.

Even looking back across countless years, Li Dao could still feel the brutality of the battlefield.

"Where...is this place?" Li Dao looked at Sui An beside him, tears streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks.

Sui An's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he said with a hint of regret:

"A terrible battle is buried here. The heavens and earth collapsed, and everyone died. Only a mad quasi-king survived, and he buried that battle."

"Using chaos as a tomb, that battlefield was buried there, to prevent former comrades from becoming wandering ghosts, and to let them rest in peace here."

Li Dao felt a deep sense of respect, and his expression became solemn. To drive a quasi-king mad, one must have experienced a tremendous mental shock.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the sorrow of Li Ma has not yet dissipated, but many treasures are also buried within."

"Over the years, in order not to disturb the rest of the heroic spirits within, not many people have entered. This time, the inner city has suffered a major loss."

Sui An smiled and tossed Li Dao a token, the aura emanating from which was identical to that of the gate.

Holding the token, Li Dao already knew that this was his compensation. He was startled and looked at Sui An with surprise. Such an opportunity was probably something that even the great cultivators in the inner city might not be able to obtain.

Many great cultivators who are nearing the end of their lives can surely live another lifetime if they can find a life-extending treasure among his treasures.

Li Dao immediately understood the significance of the token in his hand.

"Alright, go in. You need to grow up quickly so you can better protect the imperial city," Sui An said, waving his hand.

Li Dao nodded solemnly, gripped the token tightly, and walked towards the giant gate, his eyes gradually becoming more wary.

As he approached the gate, ripples spread out around him, and the faint phantom of the immortal that had appeared earlier reappeared, its eyes silently fixed on Li Dao.

Under those eyes, Li Dao felt nothing, but cold sweat broke out on his back. This feeling was different from the terrifying gaze of the old man before, which was like that of a giant dragon.

It's like a celestial dragon watching an ant, which the ant can't even perceive, due to the overwhelming difference in their life levels.

He stared intently for several breaths, and just as Li Dao was about to give up, a faint Daoist voice entered his ears:

"Life and death are inevitable, but fate is unpredictable. Does reincarnation truly exist in this world?"

"If it exists, how can I return to your side?"

The moment his words fell, Li Dao transformed into a ball of light and landed on the giant gate.

The sky and earth were shrouded in a dim, eternal darkness, with the earth shattered and massive, fragmented floating islands drifting slowly between heaven and earth.

A lingering sense of sorrow permeated the world, and even after hundreds of thousands of years, traces of the battle were still faintly visible.

hum!

Ripples spread through the void, revealing a figure amidst the deathly silence of heaven and earth.

Li Dao appeared on a shattered piece of land in a flash, with a tombstone standing silently behind him.

"Ling Chuxi, from the Ling family of Qingwei Heaven."

Looking at the tombstone and the inscription in front of him, and thinking that this peerless genius's life was about to end, he felt a sense of sorrow inexplicably.

As he looked around, he saw tombstones rising up from the ground on the floating, broken island, with tombstones scattered everywhere in the world.

Behind each of those tombstones lies the life of a prodigy. Li Dao's hand touched a tombstone, its immortal patterns shimmering, yet it remained perfectly still.

Each tombstone was covered with an extremely mysterious array, making it difficult to shake, and a divine aura could be seen emanating from the names on them.
