How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun stretched his neck, making a cracking sound as his bones snapped together, and slowly walked forward.

"Kid, are you crazy! Come back here right now, let's deal with it!" Uncle Wang Yan shouted, his voice trembling as he held up his long sword.

"You are seeking death!"

Xuan Tian's body was trembling slightly, and his knuckles, which were gripping the Thousand-Pound Seal, were turning white from the excessive force. That was a demon beast at the Golden Core stage. For a moment, he didn't know whether Li Muyun was brave or foolish.

But the next moment, Li Muyun raised his hand and said softly, "Thunder Technique - Thunder Prison".

"call!"

A surge of true energy erupted from Li Muyun's body, his white robes billowed wildly, his black hair danced wildly in the wind, and a series of lightning bolts burst forth from Li Muyun's palms, striking the black scales of the horned dragon python and forming a square lightning cage that trapped it inside.

"Foundation Establishment... Seventh level of Foundation Establishment?"

Xuan Tian was shocked as he felt the surging true energy. He looked at the boy, who was only a teenager, in disbelief, his heart filled with awe. For the past few years, he had been proud and arrogant of his status as an immortal, considering himself a genius. But the boy before him made him feel inferior and ashamed.

He was already over twenty years old and only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, while this young man had already reached the seventh level. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. He had actually called himself an immortal in front of the other party. It was utterly ridiculous. He finally understood why the other party had sneered when they met.

The three burly men stared in shock, never expecting that this seemingly harmless boy would possess such cultivation!

"Roar!"

The horned python roared in pain, its massive body contorting. Its dragon bloodline gave it extremely strong scales for defense, and its physical body was extraordinary. Despite the power of the lightning, the horned python actually shuddered and forcefully broke through the lightning prison.

Glaring at the white-clad youth who dared to harm it, the horned python opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a ball of blazing flames!

Li Muyun simply took three steps back lightly, a flash of light appeared in his palm, several spiritual talismans appeared, and he made a hand seal, saying softly: "The five elements revolve, the Great Dao is constant, Ren water borrows its flow, and the water waterfall is vast!"

The eight talismans transformed into the shape of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and the spiritual array shone brightly. A waterfall of water gushed out from the array, directly clashing with the flames of the horned dragon python.

Although the horned python was stronger, water could extinguish fire, and the flames were instantly extinguished, emitting a hissing white vapor. The remaining waterfall also caused the horned python to lower its head.

Seeing this, Li Muyun's flying dagger flashed with lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot out directly towards the horned dragon python's eye. At the same time, the Wine Immortal Sword also soared into the air, emitting a piercing buzz as it shot out, heading straight for the horned dragon python's vital spot.

The eyes and the seven-inch mark are the snake's vital points. Li Muyun roared and unleashed his true energy, controlling the two magical artifacts to launch the strongest attack.

Enraged by this, the horned python opened its blood-red mouth, and a foul stench instantly filled the surroundings. It opened its mouth 180 degrees and fiercely lunged at Li Muyun.

Facing a fatal attack, it neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, it closed its eyes, unleashing its demonic power. The scales on its body shimmered, appearing even thicker and more imposing—a testament to the confidence bestowed upon it by its dragon bloodline. It believed it could withstand the attack of the human before it, but that the human would be utterly torn to shreds in a single bite.

"Golden罡咒!"

"Thunder Magic - Thunder Prison!"

Golden light shone on Li Muyun's body, and golden energy like armor appeared on his body. Then, blue-purple lightning formed a lightning prison around Li Muyun, as if there was another layer of lightning shield.

"Crack!"

"Roar!"

The giant jaws of the horned dragon python cleaved into the thunder prisoner, causing an instant explosion of lightning. Even though it was a Golden Core demon beast, its mouth, unprotected by scales, still contained only flesh and blood, causing it to roar in excruciating pain.

However, the enormous impact still sent Li Muyun, who was inside the Golden Gang Curse, flying more than a dozen times, crashing through three large trees as thick as bowls before finally stopping.

The Flying Dagger and the Wine Immortal Sword, when they struck the Horned Python, only pierced its scales, causing it to scream in pain again, but they did not cause any real damage.

The beast, having suffered several bouts of pain, became quite wary of Li Muyun. Its massive body sat cross-legged, its enormous mouth opening to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth, its sinister eyes fixed intently on Li Muyun.

Getting up from the ground, Li Muyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turning cold. The defense of the Golden Core realm horned dragon python was indeed not to be underestimated; his full-force attack had only shattered its scales and couldn't break through its defenses at all.

The few people watching from the sidelines subconsciously swallowed. In this short battle, the dignified Golden Core stage Horned Dragon Python hadn't gained the slightest advantage, and this young man was only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment!

For a moment, the group was stunned, unsure whether they should step forward to help or quickly move away to avoid being caught in the crossfire and hindering Li Muyun.

"You beast, let's finish this quickly!"

Li Muyun snorted coldly, formed hand seals, and all the true energy he had unleashed returned to his body, causing a series of terrifying auras to erupt from within him.

Mysterious and dazzling patterns spread out from between his eyebrows like Dao patterns. Brilliant white light shot out from his eyes, reflecting the Dao patterns spreading between his eyebrows. His whole body was filled with white spiritual light, which was incomparably brilliant!

"The first transformation of the Overlord Triple Transformation - Overlord Body Transformation!"

Li Muyun's aura surged from the seventh level of Foundation Establishment to the half-step Golden Core stage, and dark clouds even began to gather in the sky. This was extremely close to the Golden Core stage, seemingly a sign that a tribulation of lightning was about to be triggered.

Xuan Tian was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He kept swallowing his saliva and seemed to be in a daze.

Wang Yan and the other two were also stunned and speechless. After recovering their senses, they quickly pulled Xuan Tian back. This level of battle was beyond their ability to participate in. Their greatest contribution was not to cause trouble for Li Muyun.

Everyone was greatly shocked. It turned out that the young man really meant it when he said he would kill the Horned Dragon Python. Although Li Muyun was only at the half-step Golden Core stage, who could have imagined that this young man still had any trump cards up his sleeve? For some reason, they actually thought that this young man was far more terrifying than the Horned Dragon Python!

The horned serpent facing Li Muyun had a similar thought. It had just completed its tribulation and its old injuries had not yet healed, leaving it with only 70-80% of its combat power. However, this human in front of it could raise its cultivation to the half-step Golden Core stage using a secret technique. In this way, there was almost no difference in their cultivation levels.

Moreover, the fact that the human possessed lightning magic instilled even greater fear in the horned dragon python, which had just completed its tribulation. As a result, the horned dragon python actually began to consider retreating.

"Buzz!"

The Drunken Immortal Sword, which had been flung into the ground not far away, trembled and emitted a soft hum. Li Muyun's eyes turned into streaks of white light, and he raised his hand, palm outstretched, and said calmly, "Sword, come!"
