Above the East Sea, the powerhouses of various forces stood in the air.
Qing Chengzi had been handed over to Li Mu by Miao Yunzi, and Tian Jizi had not appeared from the beginning to the end. Li Mu had made many preparations in advance, but they were useless.
In Xuanzong, the elders and disciples also heaved a sigh of relief.
At the most critical moment, the sect had pulled back from the brink. They had not made a mistake until the end. There were so many powerhouses outside, and they were enough to wipe out the Demon Path. How could Xuanzong deal with them?
Only Dao Cheng Zi's face was filled with black and white Qi. His hair turned completely white one moment, and then completely black the next. His aura also fluctuated between strong and weak, and it became extremely unstable.
Seeing this, a First Seat's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Oh no, Martial Uncle has turned into a demon!"
The path of cultivation was filled with all kinds of difficulties and dangers. Most cultivators would also encounter inner demons. At this moment, Dao Cheng Zi's appearance was clearly a sign of an inner demon's invasion!
Back then, it was he who had protected Qing Chengzi and saved Xuanzong's face for a while, but it caused the sect to sink deeper into a quagmire, unable to extricate itself.
Although he had never mentioned it, it must have become a sharp thorn in his heart.
Now, Li Mu had led many powerhouses to force Xuanzong, and the Sect Master had ordered the Sect Master to hand over Qing Chengzi. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, and it completely shattered his dignity. How could Grand Elder Dao Cheng Zi, who valued his face so much, tolerate this so easily?
In the blink of an eye, Dao Cheng Zi's hair turned completely black. It seemed that time had reversed on his body, and his aura also rose to a very terrifying level.
When Li Mu first fought with Dao Cheng Zi, his cultivation was only an ordinary seventh realm cultivator, which was similar to the Sect Masters and Grand Elders of the various sects.
Just now, when he saw Dao Cheng Zi with half black and half white hair for the second time, his aura was comparable to Ao Feng's.
When his hair turned completely black, the violent aura emitted from Dao Cheng Zi's body had surpassed Ao Feng's, even surpassing Fu Daozi's and Zhou Zhong's, and was close to Xuan Ming's.
Clearly, he had already been possessed by the devil.
Two years ago, Li Mu had wreaked havoc in Xuanzong. He had defeated Dao Chengzi, a seventh-level cultivator, in front of all the cultivators in the world. Two years later, Li Mu was already a seventh-level cultivator. He had led all the cultivators to force Xuanzong with overwhelming strength and completely destroyed Dao Chengzi's Taoist Heart.
To put it simply, he had a mental breakdown.
The consequence of his Dao heart collapsing was that his body was now completely under the control of his Inner Demon.
Dao Cheng Zi's body floated in the air. His hair was disheveled and fluttered in the wind. His body exuded an evil aura that was completely different from that of the orthodox Xuanmen Sect. He looked like a devil.
Even You Ming's Three Elders, who came from the Devil Dao, shuddered at the sight of Dao Cheng Zi.
The Grand Elder of Xuanzong, the Taoist priest Chengzi, had completely lost his mind.
His eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was calm. He looked at Li Mu without any ripples and said indifferently, "Junior, do you dare to fight with this old man again?"
In front of the crowd, the Ghost Servant looked at Dao Cheng Zi with surprise.
For cultivators, Inner Demons were a disaster, but it was also a good fortune.
Most people who were invaded by Inner Demons would lose their minds and become monsters that only knew how to kill.
However, there were also a few who could control Inner Demons and increase their strength greatly.
Dao Cheng Zi was neither the former nor the latter. At this moment, his second consciousness, which was the Inner Demon, had taken control of his body. However, this Inner Demon didn't only know how to kill. Like Dao Cheng Zi, it had a deep obsession.
Defeat Li Mu …
Li Mu looked at Dao Cheng Zi, who seemed to have become a different person. He exuded an extreme pressure, and the battle intent in his heart surged wildly.
The grudge between Fu-lu School and Xuanzong seemed to be between Xiao Bai and Qing Cheng Zi, but it was actually between him and Dao Cheng Zi.
No matter who won or lost in today's battle, the grudge between them would be completely resolved.
A powerful aura also surged out of his body. He laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Under the gaze of all the cultivators, as well as all the disciples and elders of Xuanzong, two streaks of light flew out from the crowd. They collided violently, and each retreated hundreds of feet.
Li Mu's body was as strong as a dragon's, while Dao Cheng Zi formed a shield around him. This was a probing move, but neither of them had the upper hand.
In the next moment, Dao Cheng Zi opened his mouth. A white light flew out of his body and quickly turned into a silver flying sword.
The flying sword transformed into thousands of sword shadows behind him. They arranged themselves into a huge fan shape and then shot toward Li Mu. At the same time, countless streaks of blue light appeared behind Li Mu. Thousands of spear shadows flew out. In the void between the two, the spear shadows and sword shadows collided. Black cracks spread out like a spider web.
"What a powerful spell!"
"Even space can't withstand it …"
"Is this a battle between Seventh Realms?"
…
The disciples of Xuanzong were shocked, but there was also a hint of excitement in their eyes. Compared to this battle, their usual battles were no different from children playing house.
They didn't realize that many of the seventh realm cultivators present couldn't hide the shock in their hearts when they saw the space shatter.
This wasn't a battle between Seventh Realms. Which Seventh Realm cultivator here could shatter the void?
The short battle between Li Mu and Dao Cheng Zi made them realize that even though they were all in the Seventh Realm, the gap between them could be so huge.
Among the people present, perhaps only Little White and Huan Ji's eyes were twinkling like little stars.
In the sky, it was impossible to see the silhouettes of these two people. Only the light of spells could be seen flashing. The Xuan House was famous for its variety of spells. However, in terms of the number of spells that the House knew, Li Mu did not lose out to the Supreme Elder of the House. In this short battle, he had broadened everyone's horizons.
In this extremely short period of time, Li Mu had already realized that the demonized Dao Cheng Zi's Dharma power was no weaker than his. Furthermore, the number of Dharma Spells and Divine Powers that Dao Cheng Zi knew was also the greatest among all the opponents that Li Mu had encountered. The two of them countered each other's moves with various Divine Powers.
Of course, if Li Mu took out the Sun Shooting Bow, Dao Cheng Zi wouldn't be his opponent.
However, the Sun Shooting Bow was like a bug in the Ten Continents. It could kill people of the same level instantly. Li Mu couldn't afford to cheat in front of so many people, and Phantom Princess and Xiao Bai were watching. Dao Cheng Zi wouldn't accept it either.
Moreover, this was a fair battle. He didn't know how to cheat, nor did he need to.
Li Mu reached out, and a green light flashed in his hand. He held Heaven Breaking in his hand and chose to fight in close combat. Spells were his strong suit, and also Dao Cheng Zi's strong suit. The winner couldn't be decided in a short time.
Li Mu disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind Dao Cheng Zi. The tip of his spear stabbed toward Dao Cheng Zi's back with lightning speed. Dao Cheng Zi's back was facing Li Mu. His body swayed inexplicably, and Li Mu's spear missed.
He shook the spear, and several spear shadows appeared in the void and stabbed toward Dao Cheng Zi at the same time.
Dao Cheng Zi's body swayed again, and several afterimages appeared, dodging Li Mu's every attack.
He slowly turned around and casually dodged Li Mu's close-range attacks. He said in a low voice, "I started cultivating when I was five, refined my soul when I was six, condensed my soul when I was seven, and condensed my soul when I was eight. I entered the Divine Power realm when I was ten, the Creation realm when I was twenty, the Dongxuan realm when I was forty, and the Transcendence realm when I was eighty. I've cultivated for a hundred years.
How can I lose? "His words were powerful, but everyone could hear the unwillingness in them.
Almost all the Seventh Realm cultivators present could feel the unwillingness.
To be able to cultivate to this level, they were all geniuses among geniuses. Who didn't have arrogance higher than the sky?
However, Dao Cheng Zi's arrogance was completely destroyed in front of a junior who was more than a hundred years younger than him.
With his Seventh Realm cultivation, he was forced to retreat pathetically when he faced Li Mu, who was at the Fifth Realm. Now, Li Mu had completely caught up to him, and he was completely humiliated in front of all the disciples of his sect.
He desperately needed a victory. Only by defeating Li Mu could he eliminate the obsession and unwillingness in his heart.
Dao Cheng Zi's words almost pierced the hearts of most of the cultivators present. They looked at the young figure who gave them endless pressure, and their feelings were slightly complicated.
Especially the Three Elders of You and Ming, the four Ghost Kings, the Green Wolf King, and the Supremacies of the three Buddhist sects of the Shen Nation, who had been defeated by Li Mu. At this moment, they even hoped that Dao Cheng Zi would win.
Dao Cheng Zi was already the limit of their generation of cultivators.
If even he was defeated by Li Mu, it meant that their generation had been surpassed by the younger generation. Their hundreds of years of hard work couldn't compare to a few years of casual cultivation …
Huan Ji looked up and saw that the Heaven Lord of Illusions' gaze was a little strange. She snorted and asked, "Father, who do you want to win?"
The Heaven Lord of Illusions immediately retracted his gaze and looked at Huan Ji. He smiled and said, "What are you asking? Of course I want my son-in-law to win …"
In the void above —
The spear radiance shone brightly.
Every spear that Li Mu stabbed didn't even touch the corner of Dao Cheng Zi's clothes. It was as if Dao Cheng Zi already knew where the spear would land before he stabbed.
This was foresight.
Seventh Realm cultivators already had the ability to foresee. However, in order to foresee the attacks of cultivators of the same level, one had to cultivate the art of divination to the peak.
This was what Xuanzong cultivators were good at.
If they could foresee the future one step ahead of their opponents, they would naturally be in an invincible position.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Li Mu.
Foreseeing the future was a mystique and also a dao technique. It could only be used by borrowing the power of heaven and earth. Through cultivating the "Hengqu Four Sentences", he already had the ability to directly control the power of heaven and earth. As long as their cultivation wasn't too much higher than his, they wouldn't be able to borrow the power of heaven and earth.
Li Mu was the master of this world. If he didn't lend the power of heaven and earth, Dao Cheng Zi wouldn't be able to use a single dao technique.
Li Mu calmly stabbed his spear. A trace of confusion appeared on Dao Cheng Zi's face. The afterimages around him disappeared. A spear pierced through his shoulder and through his entire body.
If the owner of the spear wanted to, the spear could pierce through his throat, heart, dantian, or any other part of his body.
He looked down at the spear that pierced through his shoulder and then slowly looked up at Li Mu. He said in a low voice, "Domain. You've already comprehended a domain. No one below the Dao Integration Stage can defeat you. I've lost …"
After saying this, his hair quickly turned from black to white. His aura also instantly fell. In the end, he was only at the Transcendent Initial Stage.
"Sigh …"
Ao Feng sighed. Then, he realized something and murmured, "He won. Why am I sighing?"
He didn't know why he wasn't happy about Li Mu's victory over Dao Cheng Zi. However, in order to make a good impression, Ao Feng still pretended to be happy. He said loudly, "Lord Li's powers are boundless. Old fogeys of Xuanzong, is there anyone else who's not happy …"
The outcome of the battle between Li Mu and Dao Cheng Zi had been decided. The dozens of powerful beings present didn't feel any joy from the victory. Instead, they all sighed in their hearts.
Dao Cheng Zi's defeat represented the end of an era. The era that belonged to them had come to an end.
And a new era was slowly rising.
Li Mu pulled out the Sky Splitting Spear, turned around, and left. He didn't look back.
He threw Qing Cheng Zi back into the Flask Heaven Dimension. He held Xiao Bai in one hand and Huan Ji in the other and disappeared from everyone's sight. The powerful beings also left.
Xuanzong.
Qing Xuanzi's face was pale. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze from the void. He recalled his conflict with Li Mu, and a wry smile appeared on his face. At this moment, the hatred in his heart toward Li Mu suddenly disappeared without a trace.
With their current identities, status, and strength, he couldn't and didn't dare to hate him anymore.
That figure holding the spear was deeply engraved in Qing Xuanzi's heart. It was also engraved in the hearts of all Xuanzong disciples. They would never be able to forget it …
