No one could stop this formation. The great battle erupted.
Myriad killing intent surged forth. The four weapons upon Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram unleashed attacks that seeped everywhere like spilled mercury, blotting out the sky and sun and inspiring terror.
Li Ming was trapped within Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram. He threw a punch, shattering heaven and earth. The diagram shook violently, and the four Extreme Dao Weapons roared.
With a thunderous boom, the weapons of the other three Dark Supremes also flew up and attacked Li Ming together.
Several Extreme Dao Weapons released billions upon billions of divine rays, blanketing the heavens as they reinforced Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram.
Some Dark Supremes also came beside the diagram and inscribed endless Grand Dao Runes.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Li Ming's Heavenly Demonic Saber flew out.
Endless Chaos Divine Light erupted. Chaos was like an ocean, while innumerable mysterious runes rose into the sky like a grand formation.
With a thunderous boom, the Heavenly Demonic Saber forcibly broke through the encirclement of several Extreme Dao Weapons, charging against the heavens toward Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram.
The Heavenly Demonic Saber was incomparably sharp, covered in endless Grand Dao Runes. Its attack power was unmatched in the world.
With a ripping sound, Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram shook violently and was nearly torn in half by the Heavenly Demonic Saber.
The four Dark Supremes presiding over the formation were utterly stunned. The Heavenly Demonic Saber's aura was actually this powerful.
Legend had it that Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram was known as the First Killing Formation of All Ages. So long as Supremes presided over it, it could easily kill a Heavenly Venerable. No matter how powerful one was, they would ultimately be slain.
Yet now, even with four Dark Supremes jointly controlling Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram, Li Ming still shook it with ease. In the blink of an eye, he was about to tear apart the diagram and break free.
Li Ming's strength was simply too heaven-defying.
Rumble, rumble.
Under the Dark Supremes' control, the other three weapons all reinforced Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram. Together with the other four weapons, they stabilized the diagram and suppressed Li Ming.
Endless curses descended like dark clouds covering the sky.
So-called curses were also a supreme kind of Grand Dao rule and secret art, only more unusual and mysterious. Even when cursed, one would find it difficult to notice.
This was because they used the rules of the universe to target and suppress all living beings.
"Heh. What can such a trivial curse possibly do to me?" Li Ming said coldly as he sensed that faint killing intent.
Mysterious chanting suddenly sounded from within Li Ming's body. Endless Grand Dao Runes swirled around him, each one black as ink and profoundly mysterious, possessing the power to suppress all directions.
These were Grand Dao Scriptures unique to Li Ming. The moment they appeared, they transformed into a black hole and forcibly devoured the Grand Dao rules of the curse.
The black hole even surged against the heavens toward the Dark Supreme who had unleashed the curse.
With another ripping sound, the Heavenly Demonic Saber stabbed Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram again, tearing a massive opening through it.
Li Ming himself became like a black hole. No matter how frantically the Extreme Dao Weapons released their killing light, he devoured it all and made it his own.
His body seemed to have become a mysterious black hole. Under endless attacks, not only did his vitality not weaken, it instead grew increasingly vigorous.
He charged against the heavens, attacking Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram with his body.
Li Ming let out a roar, like an invincible mark that shook past, present, and future, making that stretch of universe seem ready to collapse.
Cries of alarm rang out. Li Ming was actually this domineering.
The aura he released made people's hearts pound, as though even their souls were trembling.
With a thunderous boom, that section of the universe collapsed. Li Ming had truly smashed through Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram.
He threw punch after punch, instantly sending the Extreme Dao Weapons flying, then stepped out.
At this moment, Li Ming's divine might covered the world. He was incomparably majestic, like a god looking down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
This universe had shattered into pieces, and heaven and earth fell silent for a time.
The Dark Supremes surrounding him had all been beaten senseless.
Li Ming was actually this powerful? Just how powerful was he?
He had broken through the First Killing Formation of All Ages so quickly.
One had to know that seven great Dark Supremes had jointly controlled it.
"I am the Demon Venerable. I shall slay every enemy in this world!"
Li Ming's words boomed like thunder, spreading throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and exploding in the hearts of all living beings. Fear rose from within them.
Demon Venerable—a title that filled everyone with awe—now truly displayed its invincible demonic might.
Someone roared and led the other Dark Supremes in surrounding and attacking Li Ming.
They refused to believe that Li Ming could be powerful enough to face all seven Dark Supremes at once.
One Dark Supreme was covered in blood-red fur. He was savage and terrifying, like a red-haired fiend.
He was the first to charge at Li Ming, with the others following close behind to strike Li Ming together.
With a thunderous boom, a Chaotic Phenomenon appeared around Li Ming. Endless Chaos Runes flowed around his body, turning that place into an Immortal Domain belonging solely to him.
He stood proudly, untouched by all techniques.
All attacks were instantly devoured by Chaos.
Li Ming threw a punch. Flying Immortal Power, like the most beautiful immortal radiance in the world, struck the red-haired fiend who had charged first—the Red-Haired Supreme.
With a puff, blood splattered in all directions for billions of miles.
Within that brilliant Immortal Ascension Light, the Red-Haired Supreme's palm melted away, followed by his arm, then his body. His entire being turned into a bloody rain and melted into the Immortal Ascension Light.
"Ah..."
He screamed again and again.
A Dark Supreme had let out such miserable screams. It was clear just how much agony he had endured.
Mysterious Emperor Runes flickered, accompanied by thunderous booms.
The Red-Haired Supreme had already been firmly locked down and suppressed by Flying Immortal Power.
With another thunderous boom, he exploded completely and could no longer recover.
His body burned fiercely, while his Primordial Spirit turned to ash.
The Heavenly Demonic Saber flashed, and an imprint of the Red-Haired Supreme appeared upon it.
This scene stunned everyone.
The Demon Venerable was too powerful and overbearing—unmatched and invincible.
With a thunderous boom, Li Ming charged into the other Dark Supremes like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Flying Immortal Power erupted, unstoppable in every direction. The other six Dark Supremes were beaten until they coughed up blood.
His right hand flickered with Immortal Ascension Light, transforming into a divine stele like jade. Countless densely packed runes intertwined as it suppressed one Dark Supreme.
With a puff, that Dark Supreme was blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the brilliant Immortal Ascension Light. He burned fiercely, and after his Primordial Spirit flickered a few times within Flying Immortal Power, it turned to ash.
Everything seemed like a myth.
Amid the Dark Supremes' siege, Li Ming moved as though no one were there.
"This is impossible!"
"How did he break through the First Killing Formation of All Ages so easily?"
"Why is his strength so terrifying?"
"How could he kill Dark Supremes with a wave of his hand?"
"Is the Chaotic Body really this powerful?"
The other five Dark Supremes looked incomparably grim as they watched the two Dark Supremes be devoured by the Heavenly Demonic Saber and become imprints upon its blade.
Looking at the eight lifelike Supreme imprints that seemed almost alive as they drifted over the Heavenly Demonic Saber, they felt chills run through their bodies.
Until now, they had never heard of any Supreme or Heavenly Venerable capable of breaking such a peerless killing formation alone.
It was even said that Lingbao Tianzun had once relied on the Formation Diagram and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian to slay a Crippled Immortal. Every time they thought of it, they were greatly shaken.
Yet now, when they used it to suppress Li Ming, their expressions had all changed.
For the first time, they vaguely sensed that they were in danger this time.
The Demon Venerable was an unbelievably powerful expert.
They had miscalculated.
The five Dark Supremes went all out. They all underwent Extreme Sublimation.
An aura capable of creating heaven and earth appeared around them. That universe seemed to be evolving anew. They had no way back and could only fight desperately.
An incomparably fierce battle began, with Grand Dao Laws interweaving.
With a thunderous boom, an Extreme Dao Weapon was smashed to pieces by Li Ming.
Fragments of Immortal Gold blossomed like fireworks, shooting in every direction before being instantly devoured by the Heavenly Demonic Saber.
Bloody flowers bloomed one after another. The five Dark Supremes had been beaten by Li Ming until their blood splashed everywhere, their bones shattered, and their tendons snapped.
Li Ming was simply too powerful. He truly possessed invincible might.
"None of you must hesitate! Only by fighting the Demon Venerable to the death and gathering his Chaos Origin and Chaotic Blood will we have a chance to survive."
"It may very well allow us to live another Lifetime. At worst, it can grant us five thousand years at our peak."
The five Dark Supremes had all undergone Extreme Sublimation and revealed their strongest battle forms.
The dough-like Supreme who resembled a monk wore a Heavenly Mandate Orange Gold treasure wheel above his head. At this moment, it released endless phenomena and Grand Dao Runes.
"Demon Venerable, your Heaven's Mandate has been lost. Your life is about to end. Why do you not kneel and accept your punishment?"
The endless divine light released by the Heavenly Mandate Orange Gold treasure wheel filled this starry sky with a mysterious power, making people unable to resist submitting, unable to resist kneeling and sacrificing their lives.
Yet Li Ming showed no fear.
Within that universe, Li Ming stood proudly as strange flowers bloomed one after another. Their petals were crystalline and resplendent, fluttering around his body.
His hands continued to trace patterns. Every petal bore the Transformation Character Secret. They were flowers of his enlightenment, crystal-clear and flowing with radiant light.
The Transformation Character Secret could also be called the Flower Character Secret!
This was Li Ming's unique romance.
Petals filled the sky, accompanied by myriad divine rays and countless auspicious lights. They flooded toward the Dark Supremes, seeking to seal them and turn them into ashes.
Li Ming stood atop an enormous strange flower, his robes fluttering in the wind like an exiled immortal.
Endless flower rain drifted through the air. He was like a deity smiling as he held a flower, flawless and immaculate, incomparably holy. Every petal bore his imprint.
Rustle, rustle...
At a glance, the entire starry sky was filled with Li Ming's figures. It was impossible to tell whether they were petals or his thousands of incarnations; real and false were indistinguishable.
The five Dark Supremes were all shocked. Even with their immensely powerful spiritual senses, they could not identify Li Ming's true body.
The void was being obliterated. An incomparably powerful aura blanketed heaven and earth, and an indescribable oppression descended like the end of the world.
Many people were deeply shaken, their hearts pounding. Their bodies ached in waves, as though they were about to explode and turn to ash. An inexplicable sense of danger enveloped them.
The Flower Character Secret, or the Transformation Character Secret, was Li Ming's supreme sacred art. It contained overwhelming killing intent and was one of his forbidden secret techniques.
With a thunderous boom, heaven and earth erupted and the void shattered. His hands continued to trace patterns.
Li Ming lightly flicked a finger. A blazing light shot from his fingertip, transforming into an incomparably brilliant strange flower that tore through the universe with boundless pressure.
The Transformation Character Secret could transform all things in the world. All creation could be destroyed, and nothing could withstand it.
With a puff, that Great Dao Flower shattered an Extreme Dao Weapon and bloomed in the void.
The crystalline flower instantly spread radiant light and rushed toward that Dark Supreme, causing blood to burst in every direction.
After that person was struck by the Great Dao Flower, his entire body seemed to be corroded by some mysterious force. His entire body began melting away.
It was as though he were undergoing Dao Dissolution, turning into ash amid brilliant light.
With a loud explosion, even his final hope of revival vanished.
Great Dao Flowers and Immortal Ascension Light filled the heavens as they continuously bloomed, their auras incomparably powerful. The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands trembled.
With a deafening clang, his Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold spear suffered a devastating blow and instantly exploded, only to be swallowed whole by the Heavenly Demonic Saber.
The Demon Venerable's might was terrifyingly infamous, leaving everyone horrified.
These Dark Supremes had once ruled the world and swept through their eras invincibly. Yet when they faced Li Ming together, the massive gap in strength was immediately revealed.
The dough-like monster wielded the Heavenly Mandate Orange Gold treasure wheel and charged forward, clashing head-on with Li Ming and unleashing divine light that soared into the sky.
Li Ming did not move at all, while the dough-like monster exploded with a bang.
He was the only Dark Supreme who had dared to clash with Li Ming one-on-one, and he was dead beyond all doubt.
"This Heavenly Mandate Orange Gold is quite good. It is mine now."
Rumble, rumble.
Golden light flashed. Brilliant golden divine radiance filled the sky as a glittering golden staff smashed toward Li Ming's head.
The Gold-Eating Insect had attacked.
Li Ming remained unmoving as his Heavenly Demonic Saber flew out.
Dreamlike and illusory, like a streak of immortal light, it stabbed straight toward the Gold-Eating Insect.
With a thunderous boom, his staff shattered outright. Both his arms broke, and he staggered backward.
Li Ming silently appeared before him and lightly slapped him. With a puff, the powerful Gold-Eating Insect was reduced to a lump of bloody pulp, his Primordial Spirit collapsing.
The Transformation Character Secret transformed all techniques in the world. Simple and brutal, it killed the Gold-Eating Insect with a single slap despite his endless forbidden secret techniques.
The two Supremes covered in black and white fur were now utterly panicked. They fled separately into Chaos.
They clearly knew that they could no longer contend with Li Ming.
"Trying to run? Can you escape?"
Li Ming took one step, and the Myriad Dao of Heaven and Earth wailed. In an instant, he caught up with the Supreme covered in white fur.
He stomped down. With a puff, the White-Haired Supreme's head exploded beneath his foot.
This White-Haired Supreme, who had not even left behind a name, had his body explode and died miserably.
Someone observed the battle through the Heaven-Piercing Dharma Eye and was deeply shocked.
What kind of power was that?
The Demon Venerable's divine might covered the world. He killed Dark Supremes as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs. Standing at the pinnacle of the Ultimate Dao, lonely and invincible, he had truly reached the absolute summit.
Li Ming turned around. Only the Dark Supreme covered in black fur remained.
He had never imagined that the final result of the battle would be like this.
He was filled with regret now, but it was already too late. Even if he wanted to flee, he could not. Li Ming had firmly locked onto him.
He could only make a last stand.
But what could that change? The Demon Venerable was simply too powerful. The gap in strength was far too great.
"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" the last Dark Supreme said viciously.
That Dark Supreme voluntarily underwent Dao Dissolution.
He invoked the Grand Dao Laws within the weapon and the laws within his own body, crazily burning his own origin.
He was doomed to die, and Li Ming would not get off easy either.
That Dark Supreme seemed to transform into a black divine sword, radiating dazzling brilliance. Endless rain of light drifted down as he became an incomparably resplendent heavenly sword, setting countless surrounding stars and rivers of stars ablaze.
All the Dark Supremes observing the battle felt their hearts tighten, their entire bodies trembling.
That Light of Dao Transformation was too terrifying. No one wished to be tainted by it.
Under such circumstances, if the other Dark Supremes encountered this, they could only turn and flee as fast as possible.
That Dark Supreme had already locked onto Li Ming. He wanted to perish together with Li Ming.
Yet Li Ming was not the least bit flustered. Instead, he remained utterly calm.
With a sweep of his hand, endless black runes surged forth. His pitch-black palm was like a black hole, swallowing both the weapon and that Dark Supreme in an instant.
He even drew that entire stretch of the universe into the black hole in his palm.
Everything was within his grasp.
It was terrifying beyond measure.
With a puff, countless stars went dark.
That Dark Supreme's body and weapon completely turned to ash and were utterly annihilated.
Few in this world could so easily kill a Dark Supreme determined to perish together with his enemy, yet Li Ming accomplished it with ease.
There was no longer any suspense in what followed.
Li Ming gathered the Dark Supremes' essence blood, bone fragments, flesh fragments, and weapon fragments.
He brutally tortured their Weapon Deities, forcing them to reveal their secret arts and scriptures.
Then he had the Heavenly Demonic Saber devour all that miscellaneous stuff.
After obtaining the flesh and blood of so many Supremes, along with fragments of divine gold, the Heavenly Demonic Saber's Weapon Deity was truly a little stuffed.
Once it finished digesting everything, it would definitely become even more mysterious and powerful.
In the future, it would surely become an Immortal Weapon before Li Ming did.
Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram had already fled when Li Ming broke out of the formation diagram.
Lingbao Tianzun's Formation Diagram's Weapon Deity was no fool. It knew it could not contend against Li Ming, so naturally it would not stubbornly stand its ground.
It existed only for its master!
Li Ming deduced for a time but still failed to find the formation diagram's whereabouts. However, he did not give up. He even planned to seek out Lingbao Tianzun.
Lingbao Tianzun had to give him an explanation for this matter.
Lingbao Tianzun also possessed Nine Secrets: Zu, which Li Ming was very interested in.
If Lingbao Tianzun was willing to hand over Nine Secrets: Zu, Li Ming was willing to pretend this matter had never happened.
If Lingbao Tianzun refused to appreciate his kindness, Li Ming would not mind cutting him down.
