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

"We must stop them here, otherwise the Great Crimson Heaven will be in even greater danger!" Chen Rou looked at the sword marks in the sky, her eyes filled with worry.

“I know,” Li Dao said, his voice a little hoarse.

"Now that you know, why don't you hurry back and rest? The battle could break out at any moment," Chen Rou said, pinching his ear.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'll go back and rest now to prepare for the next battle!" Li Dao grinned and grasped Chen Rou's hand.

Chen Rou blushed, immediately withdrew her arm, gave a few more instructions, and then ran away.

After Chen Rou left, Li Dao returned to his cave, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"If that's the case, then I am Ling Chuxi." After saying that, she directly sealed some of her memories, and her eyes gradually became clear.

He spent the next three months recovering from his injuries, and his relationship with Chen Rou grew even stronger.

"Li Baiyi is coming out to die!"

On this day, a soaring Dao sound rang out, roaring down the sun, moon, and stars. Li Dao, who was inside the cave, suddenly opened his eyes and took a step, appearing directly in mid-air.

"All my life I've loved white robes, and my white sword will cleave the nine provinces."

"You foreign bastard, have you already forgotten the pain of your wounds so quickly?"

A pure white sword light pierced through the void, stretching for 30,000 miles. A figure, a man holding a flawless white longsword, slowly walked out from the rift, confronting the immortal from another realm.

Li Dao stood in mid-air, his Yin and Yang energies surging around him. When he saw the transcendent man in white robes who seemed to be piercing the heavens with his sword, a look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Li Baiyi looked more spirited and less desolate than the figure on the cliff.

However, he quickly turned his gaze to a chaotic sea at the edge of the desert, a war zone forcibly created, dotted with floating islands of broken rocks, and where void rifts could appear at any moment, making it full of danger.

That was the place where the two sides clashed, a chaotic land.

"Sharp teeth and a sharp tongue, do you think you can stop my fangs!" With a roar, the horizon suddenly turned crimson, and a large pot slowly appeared. Its entire body was dark with black magic patterns, and its power was terrifying. The power emanating from it was enough to burn mountains and boil seas.

The moment the celestial pot appeared, the entire space-time seemed to freeze for a moment, and Li Baiyi's smile also faded slightly.

"Heh, you're quite well prepared, a Celestial King weapon. But I wonder how much of it you can unleash with your strength." After saying that, Li Baiyi swung his sword, and the laws surged like a river towards the chaotic sea.

"Once I've refined you into a puppet, you'll know how much power I can unleash." A loud shout also came from the foreign land, followed by the large pot being smashed towards Li Baiyi.

hum!

Just as the two terrifying beings were locked in combat, on the vast land, Li Dao hovered in mid-air, gazing ahead, when a dark shadow pressed into the chaotic sea and rushed toward him.

"Stop them!" someone shouted, and immediately, cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also poured out.

"Be careful!" Chen Rou came to Li Dao's side and warned him, her eyes filled with a murderous look.

"I know." Li Dao nodded slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a spear appeared in his hand. He cleaved through the void and charged towards the Chaos Sea.

On the chaotic sea, cultivators from other realms and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were already engaged in a chaotic battle. Every moment, cultivators were falling, and the stench of blood filled the entire battlefield.

Li Dao also joined the meat grinder, hurling his spear and instantly killing one person. In a flash, another person appeared, and the spear directly severed a huge head.

He felt that he belonged to the battlefield, and waves of combat experience surged from the depths of his mind—experiences he had gained from fighting in the True Dragon Valley secret realm for thousands of years.

The cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths noticed him and were all somewhat surprised. A new recruit who had almost been killed in the last battle was now so experienced and shrewd, which inspired them all.

Inspired by Li Dao, the many cultivators around him began to fight even more frantically.

"We can't let the newbies laugh at us, brothers, let's work hard!" a cultivator shouted, his voice echoing across the land.

With a wave of his hand, Li Dao brought the Yin-Yang principle to its ultimate form. With a gentle sweep of the two-colored divine light, the physical body and primordial spirit of the enemy in front of him were obliterated.

He felt his fighting spirit growing stronger and became fully engaged in the battle.

The battle lasted for a hundred years, and at a terrible cost, they barely managed to force the foreign cultivators to retreat.

Li Dao's aura was calm and composed. After a century of fighting, watching one familiar comrade after another fall, he had become somewhat numb. It wasn't that he wasn't sad, but rather that he didn't have time to be sad.

The war has temporarily ended, but Li Baiyi is nowhere to be seen, which makes the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths somewhat restless.

"After a century of fighting, we've all become veterans." Chen Rou's voice rang out like a clear spring, and Li Dao's stiff face was forced into an ugly smile.

"I wonder when the war will end. I miss the days when we discussed the Dao at the colorful pool in Qingwei Heaven." Even after a century of war, Chen Rou's eyes still held a childlike innocence.

Li Dao's originally lifeless heart began to beat again upon seeing this smile.

The days that followed continued in this manner: while fighting off foreign cultivators, they also recuperated and rebuilt their lives. Familiar faces became fewer and fewer, while younger faces became more and more common.

Unbeknownst to them, Li Dao and Chen Rou had become veterans of the battlefield and were also recognized as a couple with formidable killing power.

That's right, Li Dao and Chen Rou fell in love on the battlefield and made quite a name for themselves.

Boom boom boom!

Another century has passed. The war drums are beating. Li Dao, dressed in a black battle robe, holds a snow-white spear in his hand, his eyes fixed on the distance with a calm expression.

Chen Rou, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood quietly beside him, her eyes cold, but a touch of gentleness appeared only when she looked at Li Dao.

“This is a full-scale attack from the alien realm. It seems they really can’t sit still anymore. However, the White-Robed Immortal has not returned for a long time. I don’t know if we can withstand it.” A hint of worry appeared in Chen Rou’s eyes.

"Let's fight then. So many brothers are buried here, what do we have to fear?" Li Dao said calmly, without the slightest fear.

The war has begun, and battles are taking place all over the Chaos Sea. The alien realm's attack has gone completely mad, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are being driven back in defeat.

Li Dao, on the other hand, also encountered trouble.

"Heh, the most powerful couple in the world, today I will bury you here. You have killed so many cultivators in my realm, it is time for you to pay with your lives." A cold voice rang out.

Li Dao and Chen Rou stood back to back, surrounded by more than twenty other cultivators of the same level from other realms.

"Despicable! You deliberately lured us here to ambush us. You're as shameless as ever," Chen Rou said solemnly.

"Ha, as long as I can kill you all, that's enough." With a roar, a war with little suspense began.

In an instant, the sounds of battle echoed through the sky, and Li Dao and Chen Rou were forced to retreat in defeat.

"Dye my body!" Li Dao began to sacrifice his body to gain greater power. His eyes were instantly filled with blood-red light. He took a step forward, and the spear in his hand was almost shattered, instantly killing two people.

But just as he was about to attack the third person, a long spear came from the side. Just as the spear was about to smash his head, Chen Rou rushed out and pushed him away.

puff!

Chen Rou's heart was pierced, and her body fell into Li Dao's arms like a kite with a broken string.

Looking at Chen Rou, who was lying in his arms, her life gradually fading away, Li Dao's mind went blank, and he opened his mouth but could not say a word.

"Hmph, you should be grateful to have two of your men killed!"

The foreign cultivators slowly gathered around, but did not get too close, lest he become desperate and act rashly.

"Escape and survive." The color was slowly fading from Chen Rou's face as she managed a weak smile and quietly handed a Breakthrough Token to Li Dao.

After doing all this, her gaze remained fixed on his face. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the bloodstains on his cheek, and then all life completely vanished.

Chen Rou has fallen.

Li Dao gathered her Dao body, slowly stood up, looked around, and crushed the Boundary Breaking Token in his hand.

"Wait for me."

With a low whisper, he raised his spear and charged towards the numerous cultivators from the foreign realm.

Memories of their time together flashed through my mind, and a voice rose from the depths of my heart:

"She'll be worried if she can't find herself."

This siege lasted for thirty years. Li Dao was left with no part of his body intact; his life essence was burned away, and his spear was shattered.

In the final moments of the battle, Li Dao detonated himself while holding Chen Rou's body, the terrifying aftershocks shattering the cultivators in front of him.

Once everything was restored, the leading foreign cultivator, seeing that over a dozen had died in the encirclement, couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"What a madman!"

At the same time, Li Dao's consciousness fell into a deathly silence once again, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, as his sealed memories broke free.

Even knowing that it was only Ling Chuxi's life, her eyes still stung with tears.

"The living often bear more pain than the dead. Is this what death feels like?"

Meanwhile, ten years have quietly passed. On that cliff, a skeleton sits with its head bowed, enveloped in an aura of death.

Black death energy condensed on his bones, giving them a matte black sheen, but otherwise remained unchanged, resembling a skeleton that had fallen many years ago.

But the mark of life between his brows was still slowly glowing, though the light was very dim, as if it would shatter and dissipate at any moment.

Beneath that precipice, death energy continued to surge into the withered bones. If the death energy within the bones were to erupt now, it would surely engulf an entire realm.

However, as time slowly passed, the withered bones gradually dissipated. Just as the mark of life between the brows was about to shatter, a floating island slowly drifted above the withered bones.

On that floating island, Ling Chuxi's tombstone emitted a faint divine light. The next moment, a golden light shot out from the tombstone, representing the desire for life.

"I also want to go to the Rainbow Pool of Qingwei Heaven with you." A soft murmur rang out, and behind Ling Chuxi's tombstone, a figure slowly appeared and then vanished like a dream.

Following Ling Chuxi, another beam of golden light shot out, this time from Chen Rou's tombstone.

"Brother Chu tide, you never seem to take good care of yourself."

A soft female voice rang out, full of doting affection. Behind the tombstone, a woman dressed in a moon-white dress was smiling, her eyes filled with childlike innocence.

Behind the two, the tombstones slowly lit up with a faint light, beams of golden light shone down, and Taoist chants echoed from the floating islands.

"I've never been to Yuyutian, but Old Zheng told me that there's an upside-down world where the sea and sky twist and turn, which is quite peculiar."

"Master, isn't my sword strike much cooler than yours?"

"You foreign bastards, my name is Qian Dafu!"

"..."

Streaks of golden light, some faint, some blazing, converged together like a great river filled with hope and the desire for life, surging into Li Dao's body.

The trembling mark of life between his brows gradually stabilized and became even more intense.

The once lifeless skeleton was undergoing a mysterious transformation. The dark death energy condensed on the bones was making a slight cracking sound, as if something was about to break free of its shell.

Below the precipice, death energy continuously surged into the withered bones. The death energy, which had already reached its peak, slowly condensed towards one point as the mark of life rotated.

After the death energy in the dantian reached its peak, a pure black Dao pattern slowly manifested, absorbing the endless death energy below the cliff.

Meanwhile, in that mysterious space, Li Dao reincarnated and died again and again, but this did not numb him. On the contrary, it only intensified his obsession with life.

He was reflecting on the lives of the cultivators who died in this place, and he gained a deeper understanding of the border war.

As time slowly passed, the golden light gathering on the Dao body on the cliff grew stronger and stronger, which also meant that the number of people Li Dao had experienced in reincarnation was increasing.
