“Roar—!”
The Mysterious Tree of Deceit let out an unprecedentedly shrill shriek, and billions of grayish-white eyes on its main trunk burst simultaneously! Thick, grayish-white Serum surged out, actually condensing into a sky-obscuring face of agony in the Void Realm. That giant face opened its abyss-like maw, spewing out Origin foul Qi capable of corroding the Dao!
“All Souls in Silence!”
The hoarse roar shook the Starry Sky, and wherever the foul Qi passed, even the Chaos Dao Pattern began to decay and peel off.
Li Mu’s robes instantly turned to dust, and spiderweb-like grayish-white cracks appeared on his body—this was a contamination that even Chaos Dao clothes found hard to resist.
“Stop it!”
Eternal Night Demon God’s furious roar exploded in everyone’s Divine Soul. He exerted all his strength to maintain the Night Demon Dao Domain, preventing it from escaping.
However, the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s counterattack force was too concentrated and too terrifying. Eternal Night Demon God’s Night Demon Dao Domain shattered first, and his Demon God body was grazed by the foul Qi. Half of his body instantly turned grayish-white and decayed, letting out a painful groan.
“Can’t stop it! It simply can’t be stopped!” Bone Emperor Demon God’s bone throne cracked inch by inch, and the ghostly fire flickered violently.
The Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s counterattack was even more frenzied than before! It was burning its Origin of Weird Dao without hesitation.
“Dream on!”
Blood Hell Demon God reacted quickly. The stagnant Blood Sea beneath his feet instantly boiled, transforming into a sky-obscuring Blood Hell Demonic Claw that fiercely grabbed at the strange torrent!
Mind Clarity Holy Monk’s Buddhist wheel spun rapidly, his Sanskrit chants thundered, and golden Buddha light formed a light wall across; Soul Devouring Demon God shook his Soul Banner, and billions of resentful Souls shrieked as they rushed out, forming a Soul wall; Celestial Venerable Fentian’s golden crow fire net tightened, forming a Fentian Shield; Star Dome Old Ancestor burned his last Star Power, activating the Star Light Barrier; Grand Profound Sword Revered’s Grand Profound Ancient Sword slashed horizontally, releasing an endless wall of Sword Qi; Xuan Sha Demon God roared, his remaining ghostly Dragon disregarded the intensifying contamination of weird power, coiling and pouncing!
All the powerhouses, at this moment, erupted with power beyond their limits, attempting to completely suppress the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s weird tree will.
However, that strange torrent condensed the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s final mad will and Origin, and its impact and erosiveness far exceeded any previous attack!
The Dao Origin Power released by the powerhouses to intercept was broken one by one, only able to slightly delay its speed, but unable to completely block it!
Just as that strange torrent, containing annihilation and malevolence, was about to break through layers of obstacles and escape from the Chaotic Dao Domain.
Li Mu’s eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of profound ice. He seemed to have anticipated the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s weird tree will counterattack and held no hope for the powerhouses’ interception. All his attention had already locked onto the core of the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s main body, which was being wildly pulled by the Chaos Treasure Mansion’s power and was unstable in form!
Just as that strange torrent was about to break through the Chaotic Dao Domain, the Chaos Treasure Mansion locked on.
“Chaos Town Yuan Disk, appear!”
Li Mu’s pupils suddenly burst forth with Chaos Divine Light. A Formation Plate suspended above his head abruptly appeared, emitting a roar that shook the universe. Tens of thousands of Dao Artifact patterns on the plate body lit up, transforming into Chaos Dragons that swam in the Void Realm, instantly disappearing in all directions.
The Chaos Town Yuan Disk suddenly erupted with a terrifying power that could devour the heavens and earth. The Yin and Yang fish at the center of the plate spun wildly, and two black and white Chaos Qi currents coiled upward like angry Dragons, rushing straight into the Nine Heavens! In an instant, the surroundings trembled, and endless Heaven and Earth spiritual power was forcibly drawn in, transforming into billions of brilliant spiritual lights that merged into it.
“Yin and Yang Reversal, Five Elements Return to Origin, Suppress!”
Li Mu formed hand seals, and the Five Elements Dao patterns on the Chaos Town Yuan Disk suddenly lit up. Five Origin Powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth gushed out from the depths of the Void Realm, forming five towering Heavenly Steles that suppressed all directions! The golden stele’s sharp Qi cut off the grayish-white tentacles, the wooden stele’s vitality sealed the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s retreat, the water stele’s profound darkness froze the flow of foul Qi, the fire stele’s Heaven-burning power incinerated the twisted will, and the earth stele’s profound weight suppressed the spatial cracks!
“Roar—!”
The Mysterious Tree of Deceit let out a shrill roar. Billions of eyes on its main trunk burst frantically, and grayish-white Serum poured down like a waterfall, but it was evaporated by the power of the Five Elements Heavenly Steles in mid-air! The sky-obscuring face of agony twisted violently, and the foul Qi spewed from its abyss-like maw was actually swallowed in reverse by the Chaos Town Yuan Disk, transforming into pure Chaos Power!
“No—!” The weird tree will shrieked sharply, the gray mist surged wildly, attempting to self-detonate its Dao Origin to escape, and at the same time, drag everyone down with it!
However, Li Mu had already anticipated this step!
“Chaos Locks the Heavens, Town Yuan Seals Spirits, Seal!”
The five Heavenly Steles crashed down. The five Origin Powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, along with the two Yin and Yang Origin Qi, intertwined to form a sky-obscuring Chaos giant net, completely sealing the weird power released by the Mysterious Tree of Deceit!
At the same time, Li Mu’s hand seals suddenly came together, and he roared, “Chaos Treasure Mansion, receive!”
Within the opened gate of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, the rotating Chaos vortex suddenly accelerated to its extreme! A suction force, a hundred times stronger than before, capable of forcibly distorting the Laws of time and space, erupted with a roar!
This power precisely avoided the Demon Gods and Extreme Dao powerhouses, like an invisible giant hand, it grabbed the frantically struggling weird tree will main body!
“Roar—!”
The weird tree will let out an extremely unwilling roar. Under the irresistible suction of the Treasure Mansion, like a school of fish being swallowed by a giant whale, it transformed into a massive, twisted grayish-white turbid current, being forcibly, inch by inch, dragged, compressed, and pulled towards the mansion gate formed by the Chaos nebula vortex!
Countless giant vines snapped, billions of eyes burst and annihilated, and the grayish-white substance forming its main body frantically peeled off and dissolved! Its resistance seemed so futile in front of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, this supreme Heaven-Opening Treasure specifically targeting existences!
Finally, under the breathless, awe-filled, and incomparably shocked gazes of the Demon Gods and Extreme Dao powerhouses, the massive illusory figure of the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s main body, so vast it made the galaxy pale, was completely swallowed into the rotating nebula gate of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, accompanied by a final shriek full of endless resentment and unwillingness!
“Boom!”
The opened gate of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, guided by Li Mu’s hand seals, slammed shut!
The moment the gate closed, as if separating two worlds, the violently raging grayish-white weird mist lost its source, like rootless duckweed, instantly becoming thin and chaotic, then rapidly dissipating and decomposing! The suffocating aura of annihilation and malevolence quickly receded like a tide!
In the Star Domain, only the vast returning to nothingness aura of the Chaotic Dao Domain was slowly calming down, and the illusory figure of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, suspended in the air and exuding an aura that suppressed the universe!
“It’s done!”
A huge surge of joy, like a raging tide, instantly broke through the taut heartstrings of all the powerhouses to their limits! Blood Hell Demon God’s blood-red eyes burst with the ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe, and Bone Emperor Demon God’s bone throne let out a soft sigh of relief.
Mind Clarity Holy Monk clasped his hands and softly chanted Buddhist mantras, Soul Devouring Demon God bared a ferocious yet joyful smile, Celestial Venerable Fentian let out a long breath, his Immortal Yuan becoming unstable, Star Dome Old Ancestor swayed, almost collapsing from exhaustion, Grand Profound Sword Revered sheathed his sword, a barely perceptible hint of relaxation appearing on his cold face, and Xuan Sha Demon God roared excitedly.
The profound darkness that Eternal Night Demon God had transformed into rapidly contracted and stabilized, and the painful groans of the Green Emperor within the protective shield gradually weakened.
However, there was no trace of relaxation on Li Mu’s face. His figure flickered, and he had already appeared before the illusory figure of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, reaching out to press on the mansion gate where Chaos Dao patterns flowed.
“Everyone, although the Mysterious Tree of Deceit has been taken into the Treasure Mansion, its struggle has not ceased, and its erosive power still remains! Quickly stabilize the Green Emperor’s Origin, and guard against any counterattack from its remaining will! I must enter immediately to suppress it, there can be no mistakes!”
Before his voice fell, Li Mu’s figure transformed into a stream of light, carrying the Chaos Town Yuan Disk, and together they plunged into the tightly closed gate of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, disappearing from sight.
The hearts of the powerhouses tightened, and the surging ecstasy was instantly replaced by solemnity.
Indeed!
Taking such a terrifying existence into a Heaven-Opening Treasure was by no means the end, but the beginning of another, more perilous battle of suppression occurring within the Treasure!
Their gazes, filled with awe and an indescribable complex emotion, collectively turned towards the Chaos Treasure Mansion, which hung silently, its aura restrained yet seemingly containing an endless storm.
The true crisis had shifted from the outside to within this Heaven-Opening Realm, and Li Mu had entered alone, facing the frenzied Mysterious Tree of Deceit directly!
————
In the Chaos Treasure Mansion, Li Mu appeared in a boundless sea of Chaos Qi, a miraculous space evolved after the Chaos Treasure Mansion advanced. Chaos Qi currents surged and flowed like billions of star rivers, intertwining with the most primitive and fundamental fragments of Dao Laws, forming a vast sea of eternal rotation.
This was Li Mu’s Dao Foundation, and also the source from which the Chaos Treasure Mansion manifested Chaos Power.
As soon as Li Mu’s figure appeared, he was held aloft by this sea of Chaos. His Chaos Dao Body emitted Chaos Power that resonated with the entire Treasure Mansion, and his robes fluttered without wind, rustling.
The immense mental and Chaos Dao Power Li Mu had consumed outside were now being rapidly replenished and soothed by this place that nourished the Chaos Origin.
However, this tranquil sea of Chaos was currently being violently stirred by a chaotic, twisted, and malevolent force!
“Die!”
A deafening shriek, filled with resentment and madness, tore through the tranquility of Chaos. In the core area of the Chaos Treasure Mansion, the main body of the weird tree will, forcibly brought in, was erupting with unprecedented power, attempting to counterattack and contaminate the Chaos Origin of the Chaos Treasure Mansion.
Under the Chaos Treasure Mansion’s mighty power that twisted time and space and suppressed existences, the main body of the weird tree will was forcibly compressed and torn apart, transforming into an unimaginably massive, constantly surging and boiling grayish-white “abscess.”
The surface of this abscess was covered with billions of painful, twisted faces, and countless grayish-white eyes appeared and disappeared within it, spinning frantically, spewing out viscous, foul Qi pus that could decay all Dao.
Countless grayish-white tentacles, composed of pure malevolence and annihilation will, like billions of wildly dancing venomous snakes, violently lashed the surrounding Chaos Qi currents, causing intense ripples in the stable Chaos space and emitting groans of unbearable strain.
At the core of this “abscess,” an extremely concentrated, burning, and defiled will of the Weird Dao, like the heart of a dying giant beast, was violently pulsating, emitting destructive fluctuations.
It was unwilling to be suppressed, and even more unwilling to be refined! It was burning, roaring, and frantically polluting and eroding this small world! The grayish-white foul Qi spread like a plague; wherever it passed, even the pure Chaos Qi currents began to become sluggish and dim, even showing signs of being assimilated and twisted!
Li Mu sensed that relying solely on the power of the Chaos Dao Fire and the Town Yuan Disk might not be enough to refine it, and the most pure and stubborn point of the Weird Dao Origin at the core of the weird tree will might risk contaminating the Treasure Mansion.
“Death throes!”
Li Mu’s eyes were cold, his expression sank, and he raised a hand to wave: “Chaos Great Hall, appear!”
“Rumble—”
In the depths of the Treasure Mansion, a majestic Great Hall slowly emerged from the sea of Chaos. Its gates opened, and seven brilliant divine lights shot up into the sky!
Taiyin Divine Water, sun essence gold, Heaven One Divine Water, Cangyuan Azure Wood, Earth Vein Divine Fire, Taijin Divine Stone, Xuanhuang Earth Bead—seven nine-rank divine objects, each containing Origin Power capable of overturning a spiritual domain!
At this moment, they were all awakened by Li Mu, transforming into seven towering light pillars of different colors, containing Innate Origin, instantly breaking through the dome of the Great Hall.
The first pillar, profound black and deep, utterly Yin and utterly cold! The Origin Power of Taiyin Divine Water was released. Wherever the light pillar passed, the Chaos space seemed to be frozen, condensing countless sinister ice crystals and snowflakes, releasing absolute cold that could freeze the Soul and annihilate vitality!
The second pillar, blazing white and brilliant, utterly Yang and utterly fierce! The Origin Power of sun essence gold was released, like a condensed stellar core, spewing pure white flames that could incinerate all things. Its heat caused the sea of Chaos to boil, and the twisted space groaned under the strain!
The third pillar, vast and azure, embracing all things! The Origin Power of Heaven One Divine Water was released, emitting endless life springs and purifying power. As its waves rippled, even the violent Chaos Qi currents became gentle and soft, yet carried a majestic will to cleanse all filth!
The fourth pillar, verdant and dripping, brimming with vitality! The Origin Power of Cangyuan Azure Wood was released, revealing a giant tree shadow that pierced through the sea of Chaos, emitting endless creation power. Wherever the verdant light reached, the Chaos space contaminated by the Mysterious Tree of Deceit’s foul Qi actually began to burst with vitality, and plants grew rapidly into a forest!
The fifth pillar, fiery red and violent, burning the heavens and boiling the seas! The Origin Power of Earth Vein Divine Fire bloomed, and the illusory figure of an earth fire Dragon eye appeared, like a gushing torrent of molten lava, with dark golden destructive ripples in the crimson, its flame power utterly domineering.
The sixth pillar, brilliant platinum, indestructible! The Origin Power of Taijin Divine Stone was released, condensing into a tangible platinum divine blade, exuding supreme sharpness that could cut through the Void Realm and suppress all things. Wherever its light shone, golden malevolence surged.
The seventh pillar, earthy yellow and profound, bearing all things! The Origin Power of Xuanhuang Earth Bead erupted, as if Mount Buzhou had risen from the ground, emitting unparalleled profoundness and bearing the Dao Origin, ...
The seven divine object Origin light pillars represented the most primitive and purest forces that constitute the Five Elements (gold, wood, water, fire, earth) and Yin and Yang (Taiyin and Taiyang)!
“Yin and Yang Rotation, Five Elements Return to Origin!”
With the appearance of the seven nine-rank divine objects, Li Mu’s hand seals changed. Under his absolute command, under the central mediation of the Chaos Town Yuan Disk, and enveloped and forged by the Chaos Treasure Mansion’s Origin Power, they instantly intertwined and fused!
Buzz—!
An unprecedented Chaos sealing great Formation, enveloping the entire refining vortex, suddenly took shape! The great Formation was based on the Chaos Dao Origin, with the Origin of the Seven Luminaries divine objects as its pillars, forming a perfect, endlessly circulating ultimate refining furnace!
At the center of the great Formation, the two Yin and Yang Qi (Taiyin and Taiyang) transformed into a Chaos Yin and Yang fish with heads and tails connected, slowly rotating, harmonizing ice and fire, reversing life and death. The Five Elements Power (gold, wood, water, fire, earth) transformed into five-colored divine rings, nested layer by layer, mutually generating and overcoming, evolving the Chaos Formation Power that could grind all things to dust.
