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

In the center of that small pool, a precious medicinal plant, only a little over a foot tall, shaped like a lotus, and entirely black as if carved from ink jade, was absorbing the essence of that malevolent energy.

A dark, flowing light flashed across the leaf, like pulsating veins.

A glint of light flashed in Li Dao's eyes, but he quickly looked away from the black lotus.

Instead, they looked towards the source of the surging malevolent energy, where the dark, viscous energy was outlining a figure that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"Come out."

Li Dao spoke calmly, without the slightest emotion.

Originally, he planned to kill the other party and take the Black Lotus after the attack.

However, he hadn't expected the black tiger to be so intelligent, and it didn't make a move. He couldn't help but think to himself:

"He does possess some wisdom."

Black Tiger seemed to understand Li Dao's words. It moved its pillar-like limbs and whipped its iron-whip-like fox tail behind it, directly dispersing the surrounding evil energy.

His eyes were full of vigilance, and he was constantly looking around, as if searching for something.

As the malevolent energy was shattered, Li Dao was able to see the black tiger's appearance clearly.

It was jet black, without the slightest blemish, and as it stepped forward, its domineering aura as a king was on full display.

However, what attracted Li Dao the most were those dark pupils, which did not have the bloodthirsty look often seen in ferocious beasts, but instead had the innocence of a child.

Feeling somewhat surprised, Li Dao couldn't believe that the other party would be so harmless, given the sheer number of killings and the countless corpses lying outside.

"Could it still be a cub?"

As Li Dao sized up Black Tiger, Black Tiger opposite him also seemed to be sizing him up with great vigilance.

Although no imposing power was displayed, Black Tiger could still sense a deadly danger emanating from Li Dao.

There was also a sense of oppression from its bloodline, which made its muscles tense up, and it couldn't figure out Li Dao at all.

However, one thing is certain: if it dares to make a move, it will be the one that dies.

After observing it for a while, Li Dao didn't waste any more time on it and said calmly:

"I've got my eye on this Black Lotus."

Following Li Dao's gaze, Black Tiger understood his meaning, and a fierce aura instantly erupted from its body.

At the same time, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, his gaze darting around, like a child abandoned at home by an adult and suddenly confronted by strangers, appearing utterly helpless.

However, before that murderous intent could be unleashed, he felt the coldness emanating from Li Dao's eyes.

The murderous intent came and went in an instant. He glanced at the black lotus, his eyes filled with reluctance and a hint of humiliation.

This is what it uses to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, but in its current form, it has no choice between its life and the precious medicine.

Seeing his expression, Li Dao naturally understood what the other party meant, and a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.

"Those who understand the times are like swift tigers."

"I'm not taking your money for nothing. Why don't you come work for me from now on?"

"I guarantee you'll break through to the Spirit Transformation realm, or even higher."

He just had a sudden whim, thinking about a certain arrogant little white tiger. He wondered if the black tiger could evolve if he devoured that little white tiger.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind; whether it succeeds or fails depends on Black Tiger's choice.

Upon hearing Li Dao's words, the black tiger bared its teeth, showing signs of becoming violent.

Black Tiger's gaze was fixed on Li Dao; if he could speak, he would have already started cursing.

This is clearly a case of taking advantage of someone else's money!

However, after considering the gap between the two sides, he also became deflated. Seeing this, Li Dao pressed his advantage and said:

Do you want to stay here forever?

"Come find me again when you've figured it out."

Li Dao didn't give Black Tiger any time to react. With a wave of his hand, Black Tiger's figure disappeared into the cave.

Hearing Li Dao's words, Black Tiger simply turned his head away, and the next moment, everything in front of him changed drastically.

They were actually thrown out of the underground cave.

Looking at the malevolent aura surrounding him and the barren earth, he stomped hard on a white bone that had sprung up from the ground.

He wanted to leave without looking back, but the thought of losing the Black Lotus made him tremble. Thinking of the potential consequences, he couldn't bring himself to take a step.

Inside the cave, Li Dao ignored the black tiger he had thrown out; his earlier words were merely a whim.

He went straight to the black evil lotus and saw the lotus petals absorbing evil energy. His expression remained calm and indifferent.

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal in front of him, and strange runes shot out from his hand, landing above the Black Fiend Lotus.

Six runes flashed with divine light, standing in six directions, interlocking with each other to form a small array that directly enveloped the black lotus.

The six-sided runes began to spin rapidly, and in an instant, a terrifying suction force emerged from the formation.

Swish swish swish—

As the sound of the stream gently flowing rang out, the essence of malevolent energy condensed on the cave walls rushed rapidly toward the black lotus within the formation.

The black tiger, which was pacing outside, raised its head and suddenly discovered that the evil energy that was originally dissipating outwards had suddenly reversed and was flowing into the cave.

The malevolent energy near the cave was attracted by the formation, merging together like a black stream flowing into the cave.

Before long, the malevolent energy near the cave was completely swept away, leaving only white bones emitting a faint glow.

Inside the underground cave, a continuous stream of malevolent energy surged into the Black Lotus.

The Black Lotus, which was originally emitting malevolent energy, began to tremble slightly.

The flowing light above the roots also began to move rapidly, and the eerie glow it emitted became increasingly flickering.

Seeing this, Li Dao did not stop what he was doing, but continued to inject divine power to speed up the operation of the formation, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He comprehended this formation from the Rain Clan's sword formation, and it can quickly condense the spiritual energy within a certain radius.

If it weren't for the fact that all six swords were destroyed during the last battle, I might have been able to comprehend even more.

Just as his thoughts drifted away, the energy within the Black Lotus seemed to have been pushed to some kind of limit.

hum-

With a clear, trembling sound, a faint, eerie light emanated from the Black Lotus.

The next moment, he saw the Black Fiend Lotus within the formation rapidly bloom, its flowers displaying nine grades and emitting a faint fragrance.

Li Dao's eyes shone brightly, and he was overjoyed. He had been thinking about whether he could force the Black Fiend Lotus to ripen.

Unexpectedly, it actually worked. Although the Black Lotus was not a true semi-sacred medicine at this time, its energy concentration was comparable to that of a semi-sacred medicine.

Suppressing his excitement, he looked at the black lotus and saw wisps of pure energy emanating from it. The once vibrant lotus petals began to curl up, clearly indicating that it was beginning to wither.

"Forced ripening has damaged its essence, and it has begun to wither."

"We can't wait any longer, we must refine it immediately!"

Chapter 77 The Eighth Grotto Heaven

Li Dao sat down cross-legged and waved his hand, dispelling the array around the Black Fiend Lotus.

The next moment, the essence emanating from the Black Lotus increased instantly, and the lotus petals curled up even faster.

Without any hesitation, Li Dao used his divine power to draw the Black Fiend Lotus, which immediately transformed into a stream of light and fell into his mouth.

Slowly closing his eyes, the crimson furnace within his body swallowed the Black Fiend Lotus, its runes flashing as it absorbed and refined the essence emanating from the lotus.

Boom boom boom—

However, as the crimson furnace began to spin rapidly, the speed at which the Black Lotus was refined increased dramatically.

Strands of pure energy were sent to all parts of his body, and Li Dao once again felt his body being filled.

The strange Dao patterns wrapped around the bones inside the body emitted a divine light as strands of pure energy were injected into them.

The seven heavens behind him slowly emerged, their root-like Dao patterns emanating profound and mysterious Dao essence.

Beside it, another new grotto-heaven is brewing, as if a completely new universe is being conceived.

Time flew by, and Li Dao's cultivation within the underground cave was slowly drawing to a close.

A brand new grotto-heaven slowly took shape behind him, and the aura emanating from Li Dao was once again enhanced.

Outside the cave, the black tiger, lying on the ground, felt the growing power emanating from Li Dao inside and its desire to leave was growing weaker and weaker.

He sat cross-legged in the void, with streaks of starlight flowing from the cave behind him, obscuring his face.

It was filled with a mysterious aura, as if it were a divine being that existed since the beginning of creation.

He sat quietly in the void, and wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth slowly flowed towards him.

hum-

However, the figure that resembled a statue trembled slightly, and a brand new cave appeared behind him.

As soon as it appeared, the root-like Dao patterns on the other cave heavens seemed to come alive, spreading, climbing, and entangling the eighth cave heaven.

Rumbling--

As the eighth round of the cave heaven was also entangled by those strange Dao patterns, his heart began to pound like a thunder drum.

Qi and blood surged rapidly within his body like a mighty river, and the brilliant golden Dao patterns on his bones became increasingly profound, continuing to penetrate and spread deep into the bone marrow and flesh.

call--

Li Dao let out a long breath, and a significant change occurred in his deep eyes.

The original golden lotus patterns have undergone a complete transformation.

The lotus pattern on his right eye turned into a deep, dark black lotus, while his left eye remained a pure white lotus.

Li Dao touched his eyes and felt a warm current slowly flowing inside them.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that deep within those eyes, runes surge like a vast ocean, constantly intertwining and rearranging themselves.

"An unnamed white lotus, and a black lotus."
