How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"Brother Zhao, this demon's resentment is too great. Do you have a way to determine its direction?"

After trying again without success, Li Muyun could only speak out in frustration.

Zhao Tianming stood solemnly before the maze of passageways, bent down, grabbed a handful of blood-red demonic soil, and pulled out a golden compass from his robes.

"Mountains and rivers are settled, heavenly secrets are shrouded in mist, a dragon gazes at gold, the world is vast and boundless, open!"

After the incantation was recited, the crimson demonic soil fell down and dripped into the golden compass. The compass then began to vibrate violently, and the dividing ruler above suddenly shifted, pointing directly at the sixteenth constellation.

"Go this way!"

Having determined the correct location, Zhao Tianming didn't hesitate and strode straight towards it.

A strange light flashed in Li Muyun's eyes. This was the art of determining the location of auspicious sites, one of the unique techniques of Longhu Mountain.

He had obtained the Golden Elixir of Longhu Mountain, so he naturally knew a lot about the mountain's resources. It was just a pity that the Golden Elixir did not contain such supernatural powers.

Li Muyun followed Zhao Tianming's footsteps, and after walking for a short while, the view suddenly opened up before him.

Before us lay a forest of stalactites hanging upside down, with a bronze coffin nailed to the top of each stone pillar.

A tar-like liquid seeped from the cracks in the coffin lid, pooling at the bottom to form a bubbling pool of blood. The coffin was covered with crystallized Yin spirits.

The two frowned repeatedly upon seeing this. This Yin Soul Crystal was an extremely evil substance, a meridian formed only by the Yang God Temple through the catalytic sacrifice of living people.

Even more bizarrely, the surface of the stone pillar is covered with reliefs of human faces, whose expressions change constantly as the blood pool surges, as if they were alive.

"Seven steps to Kan position, avoid evil spirits in Zhen palace, that's it, this is the main branch, and the lair of Yangshen Palace is very likely just ahead!"

Zhao Tianming abruptly put away the compass, staring at the utterly silent darkness in the distance, his expression somewhat excited.

After all, this is a competition to see who can hunt down more of the Yangshen Temple's monsters and discover more remnants of the Yangshen Temple, which means a greater chance of winning!

Li Muyun was overjoyed, but the two hadn't gone far when they heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.

Looking ahead, one could see a cold-looking young man in armored robes engaged in fierce combat with Zhao Kang, who was dressed in a silver moon robe.

The two looked up and saw Huo Polu and Zhao Kang in the distance also casting their gazes at them. Their eyes met, and they were both taken aback.

Zhao Kang's previously listless face instantly lit up with joy, his heart pounding with excitement, and his fighting spirit soared to the heavens as he stared intently at Li Muyun behind Huo Polu.

Damn it, I finally met him!

In an instant, all the humiliations he had suffered in front of Li Muyun became tangible, flashing before his eyes scene by scene.

Finally, the opportunity has arrived.

He wished he could torture and kill Li Muyun right now!

"Get out of my way! Don't block my way. I'll fight you three hundred rounds after I've dealt with that dead man!"

Zhao Kang's murderous intent grew increasingly fierce. The array formations in his hands took shape one by one, transforming into a grand formation that emerged from the sky, forcing Huo Polu to retreat in defeat.

But Huo Polu became even more resilient, his fighting spirit rising, and he fought fiercely with Zhao Kang in front of him.

Standing next to Li Muyun, Zhao Tianming suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

Even if he didn't deliberately inquire about the conflict and grudges between Zhao Kang and Li Muyun...

Rumors swirled, causing a great uproar and even becoming the hottest topic in the entire capital.

At first, the two were jealous of each other over a beautiful woman, then they fought fiercely, and later they both wanted to kill each other.

Now's your chance!

Zhao Tianming glanced back at Li Muyun and smiled slightly. In fact, he also thought highly of Li Muyun.

Both in terms of combat strength and temperament, Li Muyun suited him very well.

Why not go with the flow and give Li Muyun a chance?

Thinking of this, Zhao Tianming no longer hesitated. He took a step forward, his fingertips swiping through the air, transforming into countless characters that surged forth and rushed towards Huo Polu.

Huo Polu, who was already struggling to hold on, sensed the killing move behind him and immediately withdrew.

This withdrawal also gave Zhao Kang a chance to escape. Zhao Kang immediately unleashed the power of his formation and escaped Huo Polu's attack.

In an instant, it appeared in front of Li Muyun, and the Xuanmang Lihuo Grand Array bloomed instantly, carrying boundless resentment and killing intent.

The burning killing intent in Li Muyun's eyes was no less than that in Zhao Kang's eyes, and their swords would clash immediately.

Zhao Kang wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Zhao Kang.

"Hahaha, Li Muyun, you've finally given me my chance! Die!"

Zhao Kang was in a frenzy, his eyes fierce. A scroll of the River Chart kept spinning in his hand, and the array patterns under his feet evolved dramatically, radiating a golden light and forming three hundred and sixty rays of starlight.

In an instant, the Zhou Tian Star Array crashed down, and the Hunyuan Instrument in Zhao Kang's hand trembled continuously as he desperately drew upon the power of the celestial phenomena.

Streaks of starlight surged forth, like meteors shooting into the sky, accompanied by countless rays of light rushing towards Li Muyun.

Zhao Kang held nothing back, immediately bringing out his trump card, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, and the He Tu Hun Yuan Yi, and even directly intending to kill Li Muyun.

Li Muyun's brows furrowed immediately. This aura was incredibly terrifying, almost stronger than the Divine Thunder Array.

Although Zhao Kang is arrogant and domineering, he is not a good-for-nothing. His array formation skills, even with the aid of external tools, are still extremely strong.

Faced with such a terrifying offensive, Li Muyun could no longer afford to hold back.

"Nine Dragons Thunder Explosion!"

"Ten Thousand Sword Jue!"

In an instant, the domineering triple transformation, like a vortex of stars, surged violently, and countless primordial energies from the horizon swept in continuously, pouring into Li Muyun's body. His boiling, pounding heart was instantly compressed to its limit.

Two incredibly powerful mid-grade divine immortal techniques were unleashed in an instant.

Countless dazzling sword beams, now amplified by the Nine Dragons Thunder Explosion, resembled sword dragons unsheathed, bursting forth with countless bolts of lightning, piercing the heavens and earth, each strike striking the surging meteors.

Boom!

A vortex of energy capable of annihilating heaven and earth surged forth, countless plumes of dust raged, and an immense energy wave exploded, shaking the entire mine cavern.

Zhao Tianming and Huo Polu, who were still locked in fierce combat, couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts and quickly moved away from the battlefield, fearing that they would be hit and affected by the power of these two.

After the huge commotion subsided, Li Muyun, panting heavily, looked at Zhao Kang, whose eyebrows and eyes were drooping, and felt no better himself.

Zhao Kang's face was ashen, and his expression grew even colder.

Li Muyun is capable of handling such a large formation. If we let this continue...

No, he must die!

With this in mind, Zhao Kang once again unleashed his final, restrained move.

He took out a luminous disc from his hand. The moment the disc was taken out, the heavens and earth seemed to pause, and the energy of the world froze in that instant.

A huge, imposing star messenger emerged from the disc.
