How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

The blazing flames surged and flowed, and the golden flames in this lava pool were far more violent and intense than the fiery red sun outside. The fire spread and boiled like a sea.

Gudu Gudu!

The group landed in the thick, scorching lava and slowly plummeted downwards, but they didn't feel the intense heat of the flames, still recovering from the terror of the previous battle.

Li Muyun maintained the Devouring Heaven Sword Domain, his teeth clenched, sweat dripping from his forehead, just to create a space of three zhang in diameter in the lava pool.

Even across the Devouring Heaven Sword Domain, the scorching heat seemed to directly envelop his heart, the torment of heat transforming into raging flames that surrounded his mind.

"Young Master Li, can you still keep this up?"

The first to regain her senses was Yao Weiwei. Her elegant white robe was stained with blood, which had been splattered all over her body by the Sun God Temple cultivator who had been crushed into mincemeat by the sword light.

The intensely hot sword energies clashed, and the resulting storm of sword energy directly destroyed the lava mountain where the two were fighting.

Of the Yangshen Palace cultivators who originally intended to surround and annihilate the group, none of those with cultivation levels below the Nascent Soul stage survived.

It was only because Li Muyun reacted quickly, using his Devouring Heaven Sword Domain to envelop them, that they hurriedly jumped into the lava pool.

Otherwise, if this sword energy exploded, apart from the Great Green Ox, everyone else would likely be either dead or crippled.

But this is the only way out!

"I'm fine, I can hold on. The lava pool water is flowing downwards, and there seems to be a vacuum zone below..."

Li Muyun, clinging to his last ounce of energy, did his best to appear unharmed and continued to maintain the Devouring Heaven Sword Domain.

He led them into the lava pool and sank down the lava mountain. The closer they got to the center of the mountain, the higher the temperature of the lava became. They were only halfway down the mountain, but he was already feeling restless.

But once the formation is released, it is obvious that the group will be burned to ashes, their bodies and souls unable to escape.

Li Muyun hardened his heart. Even though he had exhausted all his true energy in the battle with the red-haired man, and his meridians were weak and his true energy was empty, he still risked burning his divine soul power to continue maintaining the great formation.

What delighted him, however, was that the lava pool water was not still, but boiling and flowing, meandering downwards.

This means there must be a vacuum space below, which might be a way to escape the scorching heat.

"Indeed, the lava flow is very strange. It's not a uniform liquid; it seems like there's a sudden fault below."

Yao Weiwei took out a deep blue pearl. The pearl glowed with a faint light, illuminating the empty space beneath the crimson magma.

Li Muyun's heart stirred, and instantly a sword aura cleaved through the boiling flames, hurtling towards the depths of the pool.

puff!

At first, the sword energy struggled to cut through the thick, crimson flames, but it gradually became smoother, and finally, with a loud bang, it seemed to strike a layer of tough rock.

Feeling the feedback from the Devouring Creation Sword, a smile finally appeared on his pale, lifeless face.

Sure enough, there was a period of time before the impact with the rock layer was effortless, which means that a vacuum existed, and this place below was definitely not a dead end!

Li Muyun let out a long breath. As he exhaled this turbid air, blood gushed from his lungs. It took him some effort to swallow the stagnant blood. He dared not show any signs of fatigue now.

If he were to lose his composure, it would definitely alarm the others.

When facing an enemy, the worst thing is for morale to drop. If even a few soldiers make a mistake, the one who will be punished and blamed when they return to the Imperial Theater will be the one in charge.

"Hold your breath and concentrate. I'm about to activate the Devouring Array. It's normal to feel dizzy and weightless."

Li Muyun took a deep breath, and the Tai Chi diagram within his body slowly swirled and stirred, spreading out the principles of Yin and Yang and merging into the Devouring Heaven Sword Domain. In an instant, light flowed everywhere, and the sword light shone brightly as he suddenly fled towards the lava pool.

Despite being somewhat prepared after Li Muyun's reminder, the force of the slashing flames was so fierce and powerful that the feeling of weightlessness was so intense that even cultivators could not resist it, and a dizzying sense of dizziness overwhelmed them.

Fortunately, the torturous feeling of weightlessness did not last long. After breaking through the viscous and stagnant lava, the group was able to see the ghostly blue light below.

When Li Muyun saw the appearance of the blue light, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The road below was not a dead end; there was still open space, so he could at least catch his breath for a while.

If no open space appears below, we can only hold our breath and hope that the red-haired man is not waiting in ambush above, so we can find an opportunity to break out.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be a way out in this lava pool. Who would choose to hide in this lava pool?"

The big blue ox shook its head. The feeling of weightlessness was especially strong for it. It took it a while to recover, but it was still not fully awake. However, it was happy to have escaped and looked down at the blue light with some surprise.

Li Muyun deactivated the formation, unable to hold on any longer. The group plummeted to the ground from mid-air, looking around the Netherworld with some bewilderment.

Below, the flat ground is littered with jagged rocks, and the dried-up, fiery riverbed glows with sparks. The surrounding walls are covered with planktonic organisms, and a faint, eerie blue light flickers around them. It is a beautiful and magnificent sight, and it is hard to imagine that this is the scene at the bottom of a lava pool.

"call!"

Li Muyun sat on the ground, his exhaustion no longer concealed. The battle with the red-haired man had completely drained his energy.

In particular, when the Devouring Creation Sword merged with the energy of the great formation and relied on the Void Devouring Heaven fingertip to unleash its strongest sword strike, it clashed violently with the red-haired man, yet it held its own.

When the five women saw Li Muyun looking exhausted and disheveled, they quickly surrounded him, offering words of comfort and helping him by massaging his shoulders and back. They had all witnessed what had just happened.

That red-haired figure was like a demon god, looming across the sky. Just the sight of his aura was enough to make them tremble with fear, leaving them no room for resistance.

The difference between the Void Refining Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm is like an insurmountable chasm. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could they believe that there really was a cultivator who could fight against a Void Refining Realm expert with the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation and not be at a disadvantage?

Li Muyun undoubtedly broadened their horizons, but even if they reported such a record to the Imperial Cinema, probably no one would believe it.

It was too astonishing. Apart from the few powerful figures recorded in ancient books who led their people to prosperity, they could not have achieved such remarkable feats before they had even grown up.

Li Muyun closed his eyes and concentrated. He had learned a lot from his fight with the red-haired man, gaining a more powerful understanding of swordsmanship.

This red-haired sword moved at will, not relying on swordsmanship at all. The six bone wings behind him were formed by his thoughts, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Relying on the unique five roots of the Void Refinement cultivation, he unleashed this Karmic Fire Bone Sword, with a majestic momentum...

The road ahead is still long. Only when I can unleash such sword energy without relying on external forces will I be considered complete.
