The Star Domain beyond the territory was vast and boundless. Li Mu summoned the Nine Nether Kun Whale from the Spirit Binding Disk and rode it back to Qi Ling Star to search for the whereabouts of the remaining three nine-rank divine objects.

The Nine Nether Kun Whale’s hundred-zhang long, dark blue body pierced through the Starry Sky. The Void Realm Dao patterns flowing on its dorsal fin dragged a thousand-mile long light trace across the Star Domain beyond the territory. Li Mu stood with his hands behind his back on the whale’s head, his Chaotic Dao Domain forming a veil-like robe that enveloped him, swallowing all the Nine Nether Astral Winds along the way.

The desolate star belt that the Nine Nether Kun Whale passed through suddenly rippled. Asteroids that had not moved for billions of years actually moved aside on their own, plowing a straight vacuum tunnel in the deep space.

“Northeast Xuan Tian, Kui accommodation shifted.” Li Mu’s eyes reflected the Zhou Tian Star Chart, and he lightly tapped the whale’s head with his toes.

The Nine Nether Kun Whale let out a silent whale cry, and its dark blue body suddenly accelerated, carrying everyone quickly past countless dazzling stars, with only the location of Qi Ling Star becoming clearer.

Several months later, Li Mu returned to the vicinity of Qi Ling Star, gazing at Qi Ling Star, which was protected by two companion stars. Two repulsive stellar forces formed a special magnetic field environment outside Qi Ling Star.

Just then, the Void Realm beyond the territory suddenly twisted, and a heart-palpitating pressure swept over.

Li Mu frowned, and his Chaotic Dao Domain instantly contracted, forming a thick barrier to protect the Nine Nether Kun Whale.

The Nine Nether Kun Whale felt the terrifying Aura and let out a low whale cry, its dark body trembling slightly.

“Boom—”

A huge crack opened in the Void Realm, and a towering figure stepped out. That person was clad in pitch-black Devilish Armor, with Undying Devilish Flames Entanglement around his body. His eyes were like abysses, captivating and soul-stirring. His appearance plunged the entire Star Domain into endless darkness.

“How dare you! I was just worried I couldn’t find you, and you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep!” The towering figure spoke, his voice like thunder, reverberating through the Void Realm. It was none other than the Undying Demon God. His immense Devilish Thoughts locked onto Li Mu, carrying monstrous killing intent and unmatched arrogance.

Immediately after, on the other side of the sky, a dazzling light pierced through the darkness. A giant Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew over. On its wings, every feather shone with immortal spiritual light, exuding a refreshing Aura. The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor descended, then transformed into a human form, with a graceful figure and eyes that held both majesty and compassion. However, the gaze she directed at Li Mu was mixed with complex emotions, clearly indicating that she, too, had come to pursue and kill Li Mu.

“The Chaos Dao Embryo has been refined by me. If you wish to be my enemy, then let me show you the power of the Chaotic Great Dao!”

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu immediately summoned the Chaos Spirit Banner, and his Chaos Dao Body was revealed. His body was instantly enveloped by Chaos Qi, and countless profound Dao patterns appeared around him, integrating with heaven and earth.

The Chaos Spirit Banner fluttered in the wind, and the phantom images of billions of stars appeared on its surface!

“Good! Good! To refine my Undying Demon Banner into your Natal Dao Artifact, what skill!” The Undying Demon God’s voice was like thunder from the depths of the Nine Nether, shaking the Void Realm. He stared fixedly at the Chaos Spirit Banner in Li Mu’s hand, his eyes blazing with rage, wishing he could swallow Li Mu alive.

That Undying Demon Banner was originally his Natal Demon Artifact, which had accompanied him in battles across myriad realms and suppressed countless powerful enemies. However, when he sent out a Clone to pursue Li Mu back then, it was seized and had been missing ever since.

Now, upon seeing it again, it had actually been refined by Li Mu into his Natal Dao Artifact. This was akin to a cruel stab to the Undying Demon God’s heart.

The Undying Demon God’s body was engulfed in blazing Devilish Flames, as if intending to incinerate all realms. With a grab of his large hand, Devilish Qi surged in the Void Realm, condensing into a gigantic black Devilish Hand, which, with an Aura that crushed everything, clawed towards Li Mu.

That Devilish Hand blotted out the sky and the sun, and within its palm, endless Demon Realms seemed to be evolving, with countless ferocious Devilish Shadows roaring within. The terrifying pressure caused the entire Star Domain to tremble.

Li Mu’s pupils contracted, and a warning bell rang in his heart as he felt that destructive power.

“Chaos Spirit Banner, protect!” Li Mu roared softly. The Chaos Spirit Banner in his hand suddenly shook, and the phantom images of billions of stars on its surface instantly condensed into a brilliant Star River barrier, blocking in front of him.

“Boom—”

The moment the black Devilish Hand collided with the Star River barrier, a world-destroying power erupted.

Terrifying shockwaves swept out, and the surrounding meteors shattered one after another. The Nine Nether Kun Whale, with a mournful wail, turned into dust and vanished into the Void Realm.

Li Mu’s figure was sent flying backward, a trace of blood spilling from his mouth, but he quickly stabilized himself and looked coldly at the Undying Demon God.

“A mere ant, dares to block me?” The Undying Demon God sneered, his eyes full of disdain. With a wave of his hand, the black Devilish Hand condensed again. This time, the Devilish Hand’s power was even greater, and within its palm, a phantom image of a Devilish Dragon faintly appeared, as if to completely obliterate Li Mu.

Li Mu’s expression was solemn. He knew that relying solely on the Chaos Spirit Banner would be difficult to withstand the Undying Demon God’s full-force attack. He took a deep breath, and his Chaos Dao Body operated at full power, with countless profound Dao patterns appearing around him, integrating with heaven and earth.

“Chaos Spirit Banner, devour!” Li Mu roared softly. His Chaotic Dao Domain instantly expanded, transforming into a vast Chaos world, enveloping the Undying Demon God’s Devilish Hand within it.

The Chaos Spirit Banner stirred up ten thousand zhang of stardust, and the gluttonous pattern on the banner’s face opened its giant mouth, actually swallowing the Devilish Dragon blasted out by the Undying Demon God into its belly. The moment the dragon’s head bit down, the roar of an ancient Vicious Beast echoed from within the banner.

The Chaos Spirit Banner rustled, and the Devilish Dragon devoured by the banner’s surface exploded into billions of Evil Qi within. Li Mu stepped on the Zhou Tian Star Orbit, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk appeared behind him, projecting a Chaos Spirit Locking Great Array, condensing the overflowing Undying Devilish Qi into seventy-two Chaos Tribulation Thunders.

Li Mu pointed his fingers like a sword at the Void Realm, and the seventy-two thunder pearls transformed into the Big Dipper Killing Array, trapping the Undying Demon God within it.

“Mere trickery!” The Undying Demon God roared skyward, and the three thousand Heavenly Demon totems on the surface of his Devilish Armor simultaneously opened their eyes. Eighteen layers of Demon Realms manifested behind him, and from each Demon Realm, a towering Demon Statue leaped out, carrying shattered stellar debris and crashing towards the thunder array.

The Undying Demon God’s voice was like thunder from the depths of the Nine Nether, shaking the Void Realm. On his Devilish Armor, three thousand Heavenly Demon totems simultaneously opened their scarlet eyes, as if countless devils had awakened from their slumber, releasing monstrous Devilish Qi.

Eighteen layers of Demon Realms manifested behind him, and from each Demon Realm, a towering Demon Statue leaped out. These Demon Statues were a thousand zhang tall, wielding vicious weapons such as giant axes, long spears, and Devilish hammers, carrying shattered stellar debris, and violently crashing into Li Mu’s Big Dipper Killing Array.

“Boom—Boom—Boom—”

The moment the Demon Statues collided with the thunder array, deafening roars erupted. The seventy-two Chaos Tribulation Thunders continuously exploded under the impact of the Demon Statues, and lightning and Devilish Qi intertwined, forming a destructive energy storm.

“What Chaotic Great Dao, nothing more than this!” The Undying Demon God sneered, his eyes full of contempt. With a wave of his large hand, the eighteen Demon Statues simultaneously raised their vicious weapons and charged towards Li Mu.

Facing the Undying Demon God’s arrogant offensive, Li Mu’s expression remained unchanged. The rotation speed of the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly increased, and the ancient runes carved on it seemed to be activated, emitting dazzling light. The seventy-two Chaos Tribulation Thunders instantly unified, transforming into a winding and coiling Chaos Thunder Dragon. Its dragon roar shook the heavens, and its Aura was majestic.

“Chaos Thunder Dragon, Roaring Heaven Strike!” Li Mu murmured. The Chaos Thunder Dragon moved at the sound, carrying world-destroying power, and charged fiercely towards the eighteen Demon Statues.

The Thunder Dragon and the Demon Statues intertwined and collided in the air. Heaven and earth changed color, stars swayed, and spatial cracks crisscrossed, revealing the tragic nature of the battlefield beyond the territory.

The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor’s skirt rippled in the astral wind, and Nirvana True Fire emanated from her body, yet she remained poised to strike, her Phoenix eyes fixedly staring at Li Mu, seemingly waiting for a certain opportunity, or perhaps, peering into the Profound Truth of the Chaotic Great Dao.

The Undying Demon God suddenly let out a sinister laugh. The totem on the chest of his Devilish Armor split open with an abyss-like gash, and a Fangtian Huaji wrapped in blood-colored curses slowly emerged. What floated on the halberd’s blade was actually the phantom image of the thirty-three layers of the Demon Realm—this was his Natal Demon Artifact, the "God-Slaying Halberd," which he had nurtured for a hundred thousand years. As soon as this halberd appeared, countless Yin Souls and Evil Qi emerged, intertwining into nine black Yin Rivers.

“To force out my God-Slaying Halberd, you can die in peace!”

As soon as his voice fell, the Undying Demon God instantly vanished from his original spot. The next moment, he, holding the God-Slaying Halberd, descended with the fierce might of the thirty-three layers of the Demon Realm, and the phantom images of the Demon Realm floating on the halberd’s blade transformed into thousands of vengeful spirits howling.

Li Mu stepped on the Chaos Star Dou. Behind him, a nine-layered Chaos Dharma Idol formed by Dao patterns suddenly appeared. Each layer of the Dharma Idol manifested different phenomena—Azure Dragon coiling in the sky, White Tiger roaring in the mountains, Vermilion Bird incinerating the heavens, Black Tortoise suppressing the seas. Amidst the rotation of the Five Elements, a Chaos Great Array was actually laid out in the Void Realm.

“Mere trickery!” The Undying Demon God sneered, and the tip of his halberd burst forth with Nine Nether Underworld Fire. The three thousand Heavenly Demon totems on his Devilish Armor materialized and fiercely chopped down, intending to obliterate Li Mu along with the Chaos Great Array.

Facing the combined attack of the Undying Demon God’s God-Slaying Halberd and the three thousand Heavenly Demon totems, a trace of solemnity flashed in Li Mu’s eyes, but a cold smile subtly curved at the corner of his lips.

Li Mu quickly formed hand seals. The Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly stopped rotating, and the ancient runes on its surface instantly burst forth with dazzling light, as if countless stars were flowing upon it.

“Chaos Infinite, All Laws Return to One!” Li Mu roared softly. The nine-layered Chaos Dharma Idol behind him suddenly merged into one, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang tall Chaos Dharma Idol.

The Chaos Dharma Idol was wrapped in Chaos Qi. Its left hand held the Chaos Spirit Banner, and its right hand held the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk. Two beams of Chaos Divine Light shot from its eyes, clashing with the incoming attack.

“Boom—”

The collision of the God-Slaying Halberd and the Chaos Dharma Idol erupted with world-destroying power.

The next moment, Li Mu’s figure retreated rapidly from the explosion, with the Undying Demon God close behind. The two of them were like meteors streaking across the Void Realm, moving so fast that the surrounding stars seemed sluggish.

Li Mu’s figure was like lightning, stepping on the Chaos Star Dou. With each step he took, a profound Star Orbit appeared in the Void Realm, as if the rules of heaven and earth submitted beneath his feet. His Chaotic Dao Domain continuously expanded, transforming into a vast Chaos world, devouring all of the Undying Demon God’s attacks.

“Chaos Infinite, All Laws Return to Source!” Li Mu roared softly. The Chaos Spirit Banner in the Chaos Dharma Idol’s hand suddenly shook, and the phantom images of billions of stars on its surface instantly condensed into a brilliant Star River, sweeping towards the Undying Demon God.

The Undying Demon God sneered. With a fierce wave of the God-Slaying Halberd in his hand, the phantom images of the thirty-three layers of the Demon Realm floating on the halberd’s blade transformed into thousands of vengeful spirits, roaring as they charged.

Li Mu’s Chaos Dao Body operated to its limit, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and Chaos Spirit Banner simultaneously hummed. A certain resonance seemed to occur between them, and an unprecedented Chaos Power surged within him.

“Chaos Infinite, Yin and Yang Reversal!” Li Mu roared loudly. The Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly magnified, and the runes flowing on it reflected the phantom images of stars on the Chaos Spirit Banner, forming a gigantic gateway connecting heaven and earth and communicating Yin and Yang.

When the Chaos Gateway of Yin and Yang Reversal opened, the thirty-three layers of the Demon Realm cleaved down by the God-Slaying Halberd actually flowed into the gateway like rivers returning to the sea.

The Undying Demon God’s pupils contracted, and the Undying Underworld Fire wrapped around his Devilish Halberd suddenly lost control and backfired—from the depths of that gateway, the Karma and evil he had sown when he slaughtered the Buddhist Kingdom years ago manifested!

“By your Devilish Karma, I shall sever your body!”

Li Mu pressed his palms together, and purified Chaos Buddhist Light flowed backward from the gateway. Three thousand Buddhist Golden Bodies appeared on the surface of the Devilish Halberd, actually transforming the phantom images of the thirty-three layers of the Demon Realm into a Buddhist Pure Land. The Undying Demon God’s right arm, holding the halberd, suddenly ignited with Red Lotus Karma Fire, and the Heavenly Demon totems on his Devilish Armor let out mournful wails.

“No! This is wrong!”

Just as the Red Lotus Karma Fire Halberd was about to pierce through his Devilish Body, the Undying Demon God suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out nine mouthfuls of Devilish Blood containing his Natal essence. The blood mist condensed into ancient blood sacrifice runes in the air, actually outlining a Blood Hell Reincarnation Array spanning thirty-three heavens in the Void Realm!

“By my Devilish Body, I summon the Nine Nether Ancestral Demon!”

The Demon God’s tattered Devilish Armor suddenly exploded, revealing the nine-headed Devilish Snake totem branded on his chest. The snake heads simultaneously opened their scarlet vertical pupils, spewing out nine beams of Nine Nether Devilish Light that pierced through the Void Realm. The God-Slaying Halberd, pinned in the Buddhist Pure Land, vibrated violently. The phantom images of the thirty-three layers of the Demon Realm on the halberd’s body suddenly collapsed, transforming into nine chains wrapped in Chaos Dao patterns, tightly binding the Red Lotus Karma Fire Halberd.

“Blood Hell Reincarnation, Myriad Demons Pay Homage!”

Following the Undying Demon God’s incantation, two pairs of Devilish Eyes released Devilish Light, condensing into a World-Burning Devilish Furnace, which nurtured a Blood Devilish Sword wrapped in Nine Nether Filth Qi within the Blood Hell Reincarnation Array!

The Blood Devilish Sword slowly formed in the World-Burning Devilish Furnace. On the sword’s body, Nine Nether Filth Qi and the Undying Demon God’s Devilish Blood intertwined, forming strange and powerful runes. The sword’s tip pointed directly at Li Mu, as if it could sever all Karma and Law in the world.

Li Mu felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the Blood Devilish Sword, and his expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. His Chaos Dao Body operated to its extreme, and the light from the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk and Chaos Spirit Banner became even more dazzling, as if to illuminate this Void Realm shrouded in darkness and Chaos.

“Chaos Infinite, Heaven and Earth Reversal!” Li Mu roared softly. He quickly formed hand seals, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suddenly magnified. The runes flowing on it reflected the phantom images of stars on the Chaos Spirit Banner, forming a gigantic gateway connecting heaven and earth and communicating Heaven and Earth.

This gateway was completely different from the previous Yin and Yang Reversal gateway. It exuded an even more ancient and mysterious Aura, as if it could perceive the essence of all things in the world, reverse Heaven and Earth, and reshape Karma.

“Blood Devilish Slash!” A trace of solemnity flashed across the Undying Demon God’s face. He reached out and tightly gripped the Blood Devilish Sword. The Nine Nether Filth Qi and Devilish Blood runes on the sword’s body suddenly erupted, transforming into a brilliant blood-colored sword light, which, with an Aura that shattered everything, cleaved towards Li Mu.

“Chaos Infinite, Great Dao Returns to One!” Li Mu roared loudly. The Chaos Power within him instantly erupted, transforming into a Chaos torrent, meeting the Blood Devilish Sword light cleaved by the Undying Demon God. (End of Chapter)
