All the geniuses of the imperial clans unleashed their power, bombarding Li Dao in mid-air.
This was not an attack by one person, but a joint strike by Wu Shang, An Lan, and their descendants. Each of them was an exceptionally talented individual.
The imperial light soared into the sky, as if a group of immortals were launching a joint attack. Even the cultivators outside the Heavenly Tribulation felt their hearts tremble under this attack.
puff!
Li Dao's chest was pierced, and he coughed up blood. His body was bombarded by various terrifying Dao principles, his bones were shattered, and his Dao body was rapidly collapsing. His body fell from mid-air.
His right arm was broken; the fifth finger had already exceeded the limits of his physical body at that moment, and the damage from losing an arm was terrifying.
That single finger pierced through dozens of members of the imperial clan in an instant, blood splattering across the sky and tearing the heavens and earth apart.
The ancestral techniques that those imperial clans' prodigies were so proud of paled in comparison to this one finger. The world was devoid of Dao and immortals, and their incomparably powerful bodies, tempered by the power of the finger, were easily torn apart like divine iron meeting thin paper.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people had perished.
But Li Dao is also facing an unprecedented crisis.
Chapter 450 Nirvana and Attainment of Enlightenment
Pfft!
Li Dao's body crashed heavily to the ground, a bloody hole in his chest from which blood gushed out, immediately soaking the ground beneath him.
This was one of the few times since his birth that he had suffered such a great loss in a clash of supernatural powers. The combined ancestral techniques of many imperial clans were so powerful that even a master like Dunyi dared not take them head-on.
If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been blown to pieces into a bloody mist. These ancestral techniques are indeed terrifying.
Countless people outside the Heavenly Tribulation were captivated by this scene. To survive under the combined might of numerous imperial clans' ancestral techniques was already a terrifying feat.
Whoosh!
Li Dao was breathing heavily, his battle armor torn and looking utterly disheveled.
"I've come to grant you death." The woman from the Anlan clan walked slowly forward, her golden spear dragging on the ground with a piercing sound.
"Cough cough, you're far from killing me!" Li Dao slowly sat up, leaning on his bronze spear with his left hand. Lei Fa had been lost somewhere in the previous battle, and he swayed, blood dripping continuously.
With a loud boom, his primordial spirit slowly emerged from between his eyebrows, the sword in his hand trembling.
"laugh!"
The Suppression Technique was unleashed, and an invisible sword slashed across, causing many cultivators to bleed from their brows and wail incessantly, determined to annihilate everyone.
However, there were simply too many enemies. A massive crimson furnace attacked, shattering half of the primordial spirit's body. The blazing flames inside the furnace inflicted immense damage on the primordial spirit.
puff!
Li Dao coughed up blood and flew backward. His primordial spirit dimmed and was about to shatter, and his physical body was also on the verge of collapse under repeated attacks.
These imperial geniuses are all a level higher than him, so it is already remarkable that they have been able to persist to this point.
"You still have tricks up your sleeve? Go ahead and use them! You're going to die today." A cultivator from another realm sneered from outside the heavenly tribulation.
Faced with a group of prodigies of an era, even Li Dao felt a sense of despair.
"If we were of the same realm, I would kill you as easily as killing chickens and dogs." Li Dao knelt on the blood-red ground, the burning light in his eyes dimmed, and most of his weight pressed down on the spear in his hand.
"Don't get up again. Let it be. Reaching this point is already a victory." Even the powerful figure from the Nine Heavens Beyond the Heavenly Tribulation was moved.
"I...haven't reached the other side yet, haven't fulfilled my promise to those people, how can I just collapse like this..."
"I still want to go see them..."
The faces of Li Kaixin, Erniu, and the old village chief from the lower realm flashed through his mind, as did the witch, Li Baiyi, and the woman with double pupils who had helped him along the way...
He did not give up and wait to die. He slowly stood up and continued to fight. The bronze spear had lost its initial sharpness, but he was still swinging it with all his might.
boom!
One after another, beams of imperial light shot into the sky, piercing through his physical body. Cracks spread rapidly across his body, creating a desolate scene. His primordial spirit was being worn away inch by inch, and the chaotic Dao principles were constantly eroding his Dao techniques.
Li Dao fell, collapsing onto the blood-red ground, his body covered in blood, a truly pitiful sight.
"Life and death are separated by a single thought; the soul returns to heaven and earth."
"Heaven and earth nurture the great Dao and its supernatural powers; one's body returns to heaven and earth, becoming the Great Dao."
boom!
The next moment, Li Dao's body underwent a strange change. His body slowly floated up, and the death aura and the vitality contained in the lightning tribulation that filled the battlefield were surging into his body at an extremely fast speed.
Half of his body was golden, as if cast from gold, while the other half was pitch black, with life and death constantly colliding and merging within him.
"I am the Dao, and I contain the heavens through the Dao."
"The Way comes first, Heaven comes second."
He was bathed in blood, and strange Daoist sounds emanated from his body, with ripples spreading outwards from within him.
When faced with life and death, Li Dao fully unleashed the potential within his body; this is his current state.
Within his body, countless Dao runes, resembling roots, were radiating golden light, and a terrifying power burst forth from the abyss, continuously spreading and breaking through the constraints on his body.
The Gate of Reincarnation rose from the ground behind him, and the energies of life and death swirled and spread in front of the platinum gate. This Gate of Reincarnation was different from the previous one; it was more real and more terrifying, as if the gate itself was the vessel of reincarnation.
Golden and black light each occupied half of his body; the black half exuded a deathly and cold aura, while the gold half radiated a fiery and vibrant aura.
Two completely different forces were now reviving within him, constantly intertwining.
Even his silver hair was half burning like golden flames and half dripping black ink.
Life and death, two completely different forces, are now condensed in one body, vast and boundless, causing Li Dao's battle power to boil.
At that moment of life and death, a reincarnation seal was condensing, and a strange Dao essence emanated from his body.
"Reincarnation!"
Li Dao shouted loudly, and the Samsara Seal between his eyebrows shot forward, its force seemingly changing the course of time in the blink of an eye as it bombarded the imperial clan's prodigy.
However, there were too many enemies. Although the power of reincarnation was domineering, the ancestral techniques were like stars falling down, and the cracks on his body were repaired under the flow of the true meaning of life and death.
"He has grasped the true meaning of life and death on the battlefield, but it's a pipe dream for one person to contend with the imperial clan," a foreign cultivator outside the calamity said coldly.
Li Dao naturally understood this principle, but he had no way out. He was determined to die and forge his own path under this immense pressure!
His path was already taking shape, but it was still immature. He wanted to use the hands of the imperial family to unleash his full potential.
"what……"
Li Dao screamed in agony, blood seeping from his body. The sound of his bones shattering could be clearly heard between heaven and earth. The Samsara Seal condensing in his chest was rapidly taking shape, and the life and death energy permeating the battlefield quickly surged into his body.
With a flick of the finger, the outline of the Reincarnation Seal was sketched out.
"Two-finger reincarnation!"
laugh!
With a ripple in the void, the Reincarnation Seal pierced through the brow of a prodigy from an imperial clan, and his body exploded into a bloody mist.
However, his body was also sent flying by the heavy blows, his flesh was shattered, and the life and death energies in his body were in danger of being out of balance. Once the life and death energies were out of balance, he would surely die, but he held on.
Having faced life-or-death crises time and time again, and persevered each time, Li Dao's understanding of life and death has deepened. Between life and death lies both great terror and great opportunity, and the reincarnation seal condensing in his chest is about to take shape.
But his physical condition was also nearing collapse.
"It's all a futile struggle. No matter how many tricks they use, they will perish here today," a princess said indifferently.
But Li Dao remained unusually calm, even as his body was on the verge of collapse and he faced a life-or-death situation.
He stood there like a blade of grass growing on barren land. As he brought his two fingers together into a sword shape and swung them forward, a small nine-leaf grass behind him swayed gently.
A sword beam flew out, unfurling the heavens and earth, shattering the stars and celestial bodies. A deep chasm formed before him. Everything happened too fast. The Empress, who had been speaking just moments before, was now exploding into a bloody mist.
The various amazing techniques that Li Dao had obtained were unleashed, and he killed one imperial prodigy after another, but he always felt that something was missing.
"What do I have left after removing these precious techniques?"
The original true understanding within Li Dao's body slowly began to circulate. It contained no fancy magical techniques, only Dao patterns that pointed directly to the origin.
While circulating the original true understanding and using the Five Fingers Divine Power to fight the enemy, his mind slowly entered his body. He saw the Dao patterns spreading like roots, which were traces left by the flesh and blood Dao seed. He saw the meridians in his body crisscrossing like the Great Dao veins.
He eventually turned inward to seek the Dao, and his body underwent rapid changes during repeated intense collisions.
"The Way comes first, Heaven comes second."
"If I were to become the Dao, a small world within my body would be born from nothingness, my body would contain the Great Dao, and my Dao body would be a Heavenly Venerable."
Li Dao's heart was like a lake tossed with a pebble, immediately creating ripples.
When he first began cultivating, he realized that rain is born from heaven and dies on earth, and planted a seed of flesh and blood within his body. At that time, it was just a thought.
At this point, the Dao Seed blossomed and formed a terrifying Dao Body. He had always aimed to use his body as the seed, and only now did he understand his path. The mist in front of him slowly dissipated.
The human body is like a small world. Thousands of bones and blood, and countless meridians construct the human body. This is an orderly process, but it is not something we are born with. It is formed slowly in the process of absorbing energy from the outside world and interacting with heaven and earth.
"The Way comes first, Heaven comes second."
The "Tao" comes first, and then the microcosm of the human body can grow. Taking the body as the Tao, we construct the inner universe and nurture the Great Tao.
boom!
At this moment, Li Dao moved, and the Unique Cave Heaven appeared, enveloping him, dazzlingly bright, surrounded by a divine halo.
Li Dao's divine power surged forth, and the unique grotto-heaven slowly shrank and entered his dantian. He intended to use the grotto-heaven as a starting point, like the Big Bang, to use the grotto-heaven as a proton to explode the heavens within his body.
This process was extremely dangerous; failure would mean certain death, but Li Dao showed no fear whatsoever.
The unique grotto-heaven had already entered the dantian area and was trembling up and down.
"The Willow Divine Technique!"
"Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique!"
Li Dao shouted loudly, "The Unique Cave Heaven is too tough. To blast it open, we need a fire. The ultimate vitality represented by the Willow God Technique and the ultimate destruction represented by the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique will collide and be enough to split the earth and open the sky."
At the dantian, a golden willow tree rose from the ground within the unique cave, and opposite it, a black thunder pool manifested.
At the moment when destruction and creation collided, at the point where they intersected, at the midpoint of the grotto-heaven, there was no earth-shattering commotion, but rather a rapid collapse.
"Kunpeng Treasure Technique!"
Li Dao formed a hand seal and unleashed the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. The giant Kun and the golden Peng appeared in the collapsed cave. If creation and destruction were allowed to collide and rage unchecked, he would surely die. Therefore, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique was needed to maintain balance.
At this moment, a strange balance was achieved within Li Dao's body. Creation and destruction collided, and the Unique Cave Heaven was collapsing inch by inch. However, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique was circulating, preventing the collapse from becoming uncontrollable.
