Chapter 858 - 453: Clash of Arch-Enemies (Part 1)
Li Mu had anticipated this, and with a calm move of Divine Thought, his figure disappeared from the original spot, along with Xue’Er, Chi Lian, and Xiaowa.
Bu Mie Demon Lord is an Integration Realm powerhouse, not to be underestimated. Although he previously consumed more than half of his power, completely suppressing him using the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion still poses certain challenges. To avoid any accidents, Li Mu sent Xue’Er and the others out of the Treasure Mansion Space with a single thought, preparing to deal with him alone.
"You all go out first; this battle is not for you to intervene!"
Li Mu transmitted a message to Xue’Er and the others, indicating they should leave, and the next moment, Xue’Er and the others were sent out of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.
Meanwhile, Lin Maosan, who was cultivating on Five Elements Spirit Mountain, sensed the frenzy of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and in a flash, he found himself in an Exotic Realm. Before him stood a beautiful woman, a Fire Phoenix, and a Giant Lizard, radiating terrifying auras that made him shiver.
"How can you do this! Bastard, let me in!"
The woman, with an appearance akin to a celestial fairy and wearing a white dress, urgently shouted at a green round bead with a tense face.
"Miss Xue’Er, don’t worry, the master must have his reasons for doing this." Chi Lian Fire Phoenix quickly transformed into human form, holding Xue’Er’s arm, soothing her.
"Indeed! The master is always decisive in his actions, we just need to wait here, and he will surely emerge victorious." The Giant Lizard also transformed into human form, becoming a burly man with a deep voice, calming Xue’Er’s emotions.
Looking at the two, Xue’Er’s panic slightly subsided, but she still couldn’t be completely at ease.
"Greetings, three uncles!"
Lin Maosan instantly recognized the identities of the three in front of him and quickly bowed with his hands.
The three glanced at Lin Maosan without paying much attention, all their eyes were fixed on the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, waiting heavily for something.
Seeing this, Lin Maosan quickly stepped back a few paces and quietly waited at the side.
Inside the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Li Mu stood floating in the air, his posture tall and straight. A majestic aura burst forth from within him. Shedding his usual guise, he revealed the Five Elements Dao Body, his body emitting Five-Colored Spiritual Light, long hair colored like a stunning rainbow intertwined, dazzlingly beautiful.
At this moment, Li Mu held a Five Elements Dao Sword, its blade flowing with the power of the Five Elements, flashing with bright light, and behind him, a pair of Thunder Wings suddenly unfolded. The Thunderbolt Power surged, emitting a deafening roar. Beside him appeared a small mountain, with ten thousand swords chiming, exuding a stable and weighty presence, as if capable of bearing the weight of the heavens and earth. His arms, one blazing red with scorching flames dancing; the other icy silver-grey, emanating thunder fire might.
Li Mu wore a set of Five-Colored Armor, each piece seemingly containing the mysteries of heaven and earth, shimmering brightly, with a small white insect perched on his right shoulder, and a Small Cyan Bell hovering nearby, radiating a profound aura, as if capable of suppressing everything.
Seeing Li Mu in this all-out state, Bu Mie Demon Lord’s face turned solemn. Initially believing he would unquestionably win this battle, he now faced Li Mu’s formidable posture, and his confidence wavered.
In this Grotto Heaven Treasure’s internal space, his strength was greatly suppressed. Currently, even in the Integration Realm, he could only exert the strength at the Peak of Void Refining, a significant weakening for him. Coupled with the previous intense battle with the Trial Puppet, he had consumed a large amount of Immortal Demonic Qi, further reducing his strength.
Facing Li Mu’s powerful Five Elements Dao Body, a surge of unprecedented crisis dawned in Bu Mie Demon Lord’s heart.
Bu Mie Demon Lord took a deep breath, calming his inner turmoil. The current situation was indeed extremely disadvantageous for him, but as a generation’s demon lord, it was naturally impossible for him to easily admit defeat, not to mention facing merely a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, relying on the advantages of a Dao Artifact. It was unreasonable for him to lose.
Bu Mie Demon Lord’s pupils flickered with ruthless light, and his hands rapidly formed seals. Deep black energy gushed from his body like a frenzied torrent, instantly enveloping his surroundings.
Immortal Demonic Qi quickly condensed to bolster Bu Mie Demon Realm’s scope, forming an invisible barrier resisting the ubiquitous suppressive force of this Grotto Heaven Treasure.
In the next moment, Bu Mie Demon Lord grabbed with his large hand, and a black Demon Blade spontaneously condensed from his hand.
With the black Demon Blade in hand, Bu Mie Demon Lord seemed to gain endless strength. His figure flashed and appeared beside Li Mu, mercilessly slashing the Demon Blade. The blade released the Power of Destruction, as if ready to cleave the entire space in two.
However, Li Mu was no ordinary being, employing the Sutra of the Wheel of Space-Time to its fullest.
A silhouette swiftly swept past, as Li Mu skillfully evaded Bu Mie Demon Lord’s seemingly sure strike using his divine technique—the Instant Void Technique.
Li Mu manifested beside Bu Mie Demon Lord, wielding the Five Elements Dao Sword, executing the first style of Cyan Nether Sword Scripture—Cyan Nether Burial. With a swing of the sword, a Cyan Nether Sword Qi split the sky, aiming straight at Bu Mie Demon Lord’s chest.
Bu Mie Demon Lord’s expression changed, quickly altering his moves, defending with the blade.
With a crisp "ding!" the sword and blade collided instantaneously, generating intense shockwaves, seemingly tearing the surrounding air. The entire region twisted, the heavens and earth shook.
Bu Mie Demon Lord, although timely blocked, couldn’t underestimate the power of Cyan Nether Sword Qi. The aftershock instantly caused subtle cracks on his Immortal Demon Armor. As he wielded the blade to counterattack, Li Mu’s figure flashed, once again deploying the divine technique—Instant Void Technique, disappearing from sight.
