The protective shield of the Hunyuan Umbrella that enveloped the woman shattered.

The woman's face turned pale, and a chill ran from her tailbone straight to the top of her head.

"I don't know if your elders will let it go, but I think you won't see it."

Li Dao's voice came from beside her, and her body trembled violently. Just as she was about to say something, a spear pierced through her head.

laugh!

Li Dao wiped the blood off his spear and felt the increasingly clear aura of the tribulation lightning above his head. His expression changed, and the shattered immortal runes within his body sealed his cultivation level once again.

“There was a tribulation of lightning in the ancient immortal realm, and since arriving here, the aura of the tribulation of lightning has become more and more obvious.” Li Dao murmured, a look of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 444 A Wisp of Immortal King's Dao Thought

Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang out from afar.

"Whose prodigy are you, and from which realm do you come?"

Li Dao looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a man and a woman walking over with wary expressions.

He sensed the aura emanating from the two individuals; it possessed the aura of ancient immortal techniques, clearly indicating that they were prodigies from the Nine Heavens.

"I come from the Three Thousand Provinces, without any sect or faction. I have come to the border battlefield to gain experience and seek a breakthrough."

At this time, the formation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had not been long, and the Heavenly God Academy was nowhere to be seen; it was indeed a rogue cultivator.

"Three thousand prefectures? The hometown of Stone King and the others?" Upon hearing this, the man's wariness relaxed somewhat.

They only discovered the four corpses of foreign prodigies when they got closer, and they didn't doubt Li Dao's identity much.

"Let's leave first, their protectors will be here soon!" The woman glanced at Li Dao and nodded slightly, though she had some doubts about his words.

He actually killed four geniuses from other realms at the Void Dao level all by himself, especially since Li Dao was only at the Heavenly God level, which is really hard to believe.

Li Dao nodded slightly, and the three of them left the spot.

The man was quite talkative, and Li Dao learned their names from him.

One is named Yun Shu, and the other is named Yun Yi. They are siblings and both have been trained on the battlefield.

A great battle is brewing between the two sides, and friction is constant. Prodigies from both realms are entering the battlefield to hone their skills.

"Brother Li, you've slain four alien demons and accumulated four battle merits. Now that you've accumulated enough merits, I've heard you can ask a Celestial King for guidance in your cultivation," Yun Yi said expectantly.

"Alright, the Celestial Kings are currently focused on preparing for battle, so why would they care about you? However, there are quite a few treasures at the Battle Merit Exchange that can increase your cultivation level. Fellow Daoist, you might want to consider them."

Seeing her younger brother's expression, Yun Shu said somewhat irritably.

"Does killing a foreign genius earn you a battle merit?" Li Dao asked curiously.

"If we can kill the alien geniuses on the bounty list, our battle merits will definitely increase rapidly."

"If we can kill He Wushuang, who is at the top of the list, the Immortal King might personally take him as his disciple."

Whether in the Nine Heavens or in other realms, a kill order will be issued against the other side's prodigies. This is both a deterrent and an honor, after all, being able to be on the other side's kill list is a skill in itself.

"He Wushuang, huh?" Li Dao's eyes flickered.

"Alright, stop overthinking. He Wushuang has already killed us. Even if we encounter him again, he is not someone we can handle."

"We've arrived, let's go."

As Yun Shu's voice rang out, a war fortress rose from the ground in the distance.

It was an ancient city entirely black. As soon as the three of them approached, a powerful divine sense swept over them. Li Dao was startled; this aura belonged to at least a Supreme expert.

Upon arriving at the ancient city, a mirror stood at the city gate, its divine light shining forth as if it could pierce through the heart.

Li Dao couldn't help but feel curious; such tight defenses showed how important this place was.

"This bronze mirror can reflect the laws of other realms and can be used to detect spies from other realms. Rumor has it that there is also a True Immortal guarding this place, so it is very safe. Don't worry."

Seeing the curiosity in Li Dao's eyes, Yun Yi couldn't help but explain. He didn't doubt Li Dao, after all, as a rogue cultivator, he wouldn't know much.

"Let's go, there's a battle merit exchange point inside." Seeing that Li Dao had safely entered the city, Yun Shu's doubts disappeared.

The entire ancient city was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Cultivators were setting up stalls on both sides of the street, their bodies radiating a murderous aura, clearly having just come from the battlefield.

Li Dao followed the two to a magnificent ancient hall in the city, where many cultivators had gathered, all of them quite young.

"Hey, isn't this Yun Yi? How's it going? Did you manage to pick up any battle merits while following your sister?"

As soon as the three appeared, someone started teasing Yun Yi.

"Get lost! I'm just getting familiar with the battlefield first, and then I'll make a name for myself. What do you guys know?" Yun Yi said, raising his head with a look of disdain on his face.

"Enough talk, let me introduce you. This is Li Dao, my new friend. He's the one who single-handedly killed four geniuses from other realms. Come and pay your respects."

"Building a good relationship now might just save your life on the battlefield someday!"

Yun Yi's face was full of smugness.

Everyone around looked at Li Dao. They had thought he was a Heavenly God and a follower of Yun Yi and the other person, but they hadn't expected him to be such a formidable figure.

Although they didn't know whether Yun Yi's words were true or false, they all politely bowed and said:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Li. I haven't seen you before. You must be new here. You've already earned four battle merits. You're truly impressive!"

"Absolutely, absolutely. I was almost scared to death when I first arrived here."

"Tch, you're the one who almost peed your pants in fear, I wasn't!"

Their attitude towards Li Dao wasn't exactly warm, but they weren't hostile either. Being on the same battlefield, as Yun Yi said, they might be rescued by someone else someday.

Li Dao nodded slightly as a greeting, and then approached an old man who was snoring.

"Old Deng, come and exchange your war merits," Yun Yi shouted.

"So hasty and impulsive, how many battle merits will you get this time?" Old Deng slowly opened his eyes. Although he was talking to Yun Yi, Li Dao keenly sensed that Old Deng's gaze was moving over him.

Although it was a very short time, he still sensed it.

"This old man is no ordinary person!"

"Such keen perception."

Li Dao and Deng Lao thought to themselves in unison.

"Old Deng, here you are, three battle merits." Yun Yi seemed oblivious as he took out three drops of essence blood, the Dao principles emanating from them emitting a strange light.

This is the essence and blood of a cultivator from another realm, used to attest to his merits in battle.

After the inspection, Deng Lao waved his hand and a jade-green pendant flew out from Yun Yi's waist, the numbers on it changing.

"One hundred and twenty-three. It seems Yun Yi is quite a formidable person," Li Dao thought to himself.

Afterwards, Yun Shu and Li Dao recorded their battle achievements. Li Dao looked at the brand-new waist pendant in his hand and the character 'Three' on it, then cupped his hands to Deng Laodao:

"Senior, does the War Merit Pavilion have any items to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation and enhance vitality?"

Old Deng seemed unsurprised by Li Dao's question, stroked his beard, and said leisurely:

"The Dew of Creation, the Flower of the Other Shore, and the Talisman of Life and Death can all preserve a sliver of life under the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Heavenly Tribulation is both a calamity and an opportunity, and using external objects will ultimately lead to a lower level of success."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Dao's eyes. He had only wanted to ask, but he hadn't expected that there really was one here.

"I understand, but do you know of any items related to the Dao of Reincarnation?" Li Dao bowed slightly and asked.

"Heh, you little fox, that's what you really wanted to ask, isn't it?" Old Deng's eyes flashed with amusement as he lazily lay back down, his tone languid as he said:

"I do have something related to reincarnation here, a jade pendant that contains a wisp of the Dao of Reincarnation, which I obtained from a certain unscrupulous black dog. However, you are still far from having enough battle merits to exchange for it."

"Let's go, let's go. The eve of war is your stage. If you want to gain merit, you'd better hurry up."

Old Deng waved his hand, telling people to leave.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Dao's eyes. If nothing unexpected happened, then the black dog was the one beside the Immortal King Wuzhong. Since there was the Dao of Reincarnation here, a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

If one could obtain even a wisp of Daoist thought for contemplation, one's Daoist cultivation would surely increase greatly.

Li Dao waved to Elder Deng and then left the Hall of Military Merit.

"Brother Li, where are you going next?" Yun Yi asked.

"If you want to earn battle merits, do you know where alien cultivators frequent?" Li Dao asked Yun Yi.

Yun Yi arrived earlier than him, so he must know more.

"That's perfect! There's been a rumor lately that some geniuses from another realm are gathering in Xishalin. Let's team up and go check it out!" Yun Yi said excitedly.

“Since you have nowhere to go, come with us. Don’t walk right up to the foreign camp without realizing it.” Yun Shu nodded.

"Then let's go." A hint of anticipation flashed in Li Dao's eyes. The alien cultivators were gathered here, and it just so happened that he also needed battle merits to exchange for the Reincarnation Dao Thoughts.

The three of them left the ancient city and headed towards Xishalin.

Along the way, we saw many large, shattered stars scattered across the earth, the sky and earth were a hazy yellow, yellow sand rolled in and white grass was bent, a desolate scene.

Xishalin, though called sand, is actually a shattered star field where broken stars slowly rotate like grains of sand. An extremely terrifying field shrouds this place, making it seem like a place where no magic exists.

"This place was punched by an immortal king from another realm, which has a strong restrictive effect on Dao techniques, limiting the effectiveness of Dao seeds. That's why those brats from another realm chose to gather here!"

Yun Yi's expression was somewhat solemn. A Dao artifact appeared in his hand. It was a large hammer with a handle that was two meters long. The hammer was thick and heavy, and Dao patterns naturally appeared on it, obviously mixed with a lot of immortal gold.

Looking at the exaggeratedly shaped hammer, Li Dao couldn't help but be surprised. To be able to wield such a hammer, one must have an unparalleled physical body. No wonder he still came to explore even though he knew there were restrictions on the area.

"Brother Li, how about it? Isn't it cool?" Yun Yi slung the sledgehammer over his shoulder, looking smug.

"Stop being so cheeky, let's go." Yun Shu slapped him on the back of the head, and a crescent-shaped scimitar appeared behind her.

The scimitar was two meters long and had a single blade. Yun Shu stood before the moon, like a fairy in the moon, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

"Hehe, let's go, Brother Li." Yun Yi said, scratching the back of his head.

"Hmm." Li Dao gave a soft hum, and with a flick of his wrist, the bronze spear appeared in his hand, while he stepped onto the Refining Furnace.

"You..." Yun Yi looked at the Refining Furnace at Li Dao's feet with a surprised expression, and sensed the aura of immortal metal from it.

I thought Li Dao, being a rogue cultivator, wouldn't have any magical artifacts, but to my surprise, he took out two right away.

"Remains of a True Immortal?" A look of surprise flashed across Yun Shu's face.

Even on the battlefield, it is rare for immortals to fall. I never expected that Li Daoyun would be so lucky as to obtain such a treasure.

"I obtained the Immortal Gold by chance," Li Dao smiled.
