How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Guo Jingtian stared blankly at the two damaged star veins in the sky, his expression one of utter astonishment.

A surge of rage welled up inside Guo Jingtian, but he had nowhere to vent it, leaving him burning with fury.

But he couldn't understand why the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Array had been weakened so much. And unlike the previous minor skirmishes, the rupture of the star vein was a devastating blow.

Could it be that a vengeful ghost at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage has already fallen?

But how could the fall of a vengeful ghost damage the original power of the great formation? Generally speaking, as long as the great formation is not destroyed, he can continuously summon new vengeful ghosts through the art of raising Gu.

How could these two vengeful spirits have perished so quickly, even damaging the foundation of the great formation, when they were only sent out for a short time?

Guo Jingtian's expression was solemn, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Staring at the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Array above Yin Yang City, a sense of fear arose inexplicably in his heart.

Once the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Formation is broken, his advantage will be completely gone, and he will have no choice but to surrender and die!

Do not!

Guo Jingtian felt a pang of fear and quickly dismissed the thought.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the best chance to capture all these so-called prodigies in one fell swoop!

I absolutely cannot lose!

Guo Jingtian's expression grew increasingly frenzied; he even bit his own blood and threw it into the sky array, futilely trying to repair the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Array.

……

On the other side, Li Muyun sat cross-legged on the ground, trying his best to digest this energy. The two fierce ghosts and the energy of the great formation brought a lot of spiritual power boost.

He benefited greatly from it, but he couldn't completely absorb this energy in a short period of time.

Having tasted success, he was eager to hunt again, never expecting that these were merely two powerful ghosts, yet they already contained such spiritual energy.

"Brother Zhuge, are you capable of divination regarding the locations of these powerful ghosts?"

Li Muyun opened his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy flowing around him, and licked his lips contentedly.

He had already sensed that the bottleneck he had encountered in advancing to the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul realm was loosening somewhat.

At this moment, simply slaughtering the city and killing those weak, wronged, and lonely ghosts was no longer enough to satisfy him.

There were only two of these vengeful ghosts, but they were enough to make him feel incredibly good, and his bottleneck was loosened. There are seven more vengeful ghosts like these!

Moreover, compared to improving one's own energy, devouring such a fierce ghost can also help the Rabbit God restore his soul power.

Of course, this is mainly due to the Devouring Creation Sword. Without the Devouring Creation Sword's devouring power, it probably wouldn't be so domineering.

It can devour vengeful spirits to enhance its cultivation, and it can even devour and reduce the power of the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Array.

Zhuge Danqing chuckled twice.

"This kind of fierce ghost is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even though its mind is low, it is the great formation that forcibly elevates its status. Ordinary geniuses would find it difficult to fight it."

"Brother Li's swordsmanship and techniques are incredibly powerful. Anyone else would probably avoid this vengeful ghost."

Li Muyun nodded, accepting Zhuge Danqing's praise with composure.

Seeing this, Zhuge Danqing stopped trying to stop him. He had witnessed Li Muyun killing the two fierce ghosts earlier.

His array formations are formidable, he has mastered the orthodox thunder magic of the Celestial Masters, and his swordsmanship is even more powerful and unparalleled.

If it were an ordinary person, they would only have lost their life in vain, but Li Muyun was clearly someone he could trust.

Without further ado, he had already recorded the ghostly energy in the Tai Chi Bagua diagram from his previous battle with the two vengeful ghosts.

Activating the Tai Chi Bagua, mottled trigrams continuously appeared, dazzling in the sky, and suddenly transformed into seven streams of light to guide the way.

Li Muyun nodded to Zhuge Danqing and thanked him.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuge. I, Li Muyun, have always been clear about my gratitude and grievances. I will remember this kindness."

Zhuge Danqing activated the Taiji Bagua, positioning seven vital energies within the flowing light, which consumed a considerable amount of vital energy.

Zhuge Danqing was exhausted and sat cross-legged on the spot, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing. Upon hearing Li Muyun's words, he quickly forced a smile.

"I am content with Brother Li's words. I only hope that Brother Li will continue to take care of me in the future."

The two said no more, and after Zhuge Danqing finished his meditation, their hunting trip officially began.

The two pursued numerous vengeful spirits along the way, the first of which was a vengeful spirit from the south, successfully locating traces of blood.

As they pinpointed the location of the blood energy trail, the two raced forward and soon spotted a colossal object on the horizon, towering into the clouds.

Its aura was incredibly powerful, roaring and howling wildly as it clashed violently with the black-robed man in front of it.

The black-clad man stood on dragon energy, held a sword radiating spiritual light, and had nine ferocious dragon shapes wrapped around his waist.

It was His Highness the King of Qin.

After a fierce battle with the vengeful ghost, the King of Qin, with his formidable strength, chose to break through the formation alone.

Li Muyun roared in the air, his sword flashing as it hurtled towards the enormous ghost.

When the King of Qin saw Li Muyun appear, he was immediately delighted.

"Your Highness, I'm here to help you!"

Li Muyun's sword intent was incredibly brilliant, and it roared out towards the enormous ghost, instantly binding the ghost's entire body.

Upon seeing Li Muyun draw his sword, the King of Qin was suddenly shaken. The Nine Dragon Seal once again shone with light and slammed down on the evil spirit.

The vengeful ghosts roared a few times, then were stunned by the enormous Nine Dragon Seal. The surging sword light then devoured them all.

The towering, enormous vengeful ghost was completely crushed by the power of devouring, turning into specks of light that entered Li Muyun's body.

A massive surge of energy flowed into his body, and Li Muyun felt extremely comfortable. He sat cross-legged on the ground, and his energy gradually increased.

It became increasingly powerful, its boiling energy surging and surging, and it broke through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop!

Bathed in the radiance, Li Muyun felt extremely refreshed by this surge of energy.

"Congratulations, Brother Li, on your breakthrough and advancement once again!"

His Highness the King of Qin landed gracefully, looked at Li Muyun whose aura was rising steadily, and offered his congratulations.

Li Muyun awoke from the boiling energy, his expression growing even more fervent.

This method of devouring vengeful spirits to cultivate results in an incomparably pure energy, comparable to the achievements of many years of arduous cultivation.

There are six more vengeful ghosts!

If it were to devour it all, it might be able to break through to another realm!

Without lingering, Li Muyun explained his purpose to His Highness the Prince of Qin and then headed to the next hideout of the evil spirits.

The three of them joined forces and became incredibly powerful. They also killed off the remaining six vengeful ghosts along the way.

Li Muyun alone was able to fight two fierce ghosts without being at a disadvantage.

With the Qin King's ruthless and brutal tactics, and Zhuge Danqing's binding techniques, the three of them swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum.

Li Muyun devoured the remaining six fierce ghosts, his aura becoming increasingly fierce, gradually reaching its peak, the bottleneck of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

It shattered with a crash, leaping into the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, devouring nine peak-stage Divine Transformation ghosts, and crossing two major realms in one fell swoop!

Li Muyun opened his eyes, his aura as deep and powerful as a mountain, far stronger than before.

The difference between each step in the Nascent Soul realm is like heaven and earth, with a huge gap in strength.

However, Li Muyun crossed two realms in a short period of time, which was truly terrifying.
