How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun, accompanied by a man and an ox, strode through the bottom of the Ding Si Ming Yin Cliff. Since the group had already ventured deep into the cliff and seen the Teng Snake, they carried its aura.

The drifting, ethereal flames no longer hindered them, scattering and dancing in all directions. The group emerged from the oppressive depths of the cliff and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Although there wasn't much of a threat above, the oppressive and chilling aura still made them feel unbearable.

Li Muyun's expression remained unchanged as he surveyed the clearing with its layered mountains before him, a smile playing on his lips.

At the same time, a chilling sense of crisis quietly arose. Although it was well concealed, it suddenly magnified in front of Li Muyun, whose divine sense had been enhanced, as if thousands of red-hot steel needles were piercing his soul.

Li Muyun's bones cracked and popped, a pale blue light instantly flowed through his entire body, his muscles tensed like a fully drawn bow, and his whole body trembled slightly. It seemed like he was trembling with fear, but if someone familiar with Li Muyun were here, they would know that this was excitement and exhilaration.

Faced with such a thrilling battle, he would feel incredibly excited and filled with fighting spirit.

That old man won't leave. How could he possibly let go of such a golden opportunity to kill him?

But he also wanted to test what limits his body could now overcome and what kind of combat power it could unleash.

The world at the bottom of the cliff appears no different from usual on the surface: deathly silent, cold, desolate, with pebbles everywhere, everything as normal.

"What about that old man? Is he scared?"

The big blue ox looked around and gazed around several times, but couldn't see anyone appearing, and said with some surprise.

Li Muyun remained solemn, slowly shook his head, and gave a wink to the big blue ox and the evil fairy beside him.

Upon seeing this signal, the big blue ox was startled and quickly pulled Xie Xian'er away from Li Muyun's side.

Li Muyun rarely appeared so solemn. This look in his eyes was terrifying enough back in the battlefield of the undead, a signal for him to leave as soon as possible.

A slight smile appeared on Li Muyun's lips. He glanced at the sky a few times and chuckled.

"Old ghost, aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to come and get you?"

After this shout, the area outside the cliff, which had been quiet and still, suddenly erupted into chaos.

"laugh--"

A faint yet exceptionally clear sound of flames rising broke the frozen silence.

Then came the second sound, the third sound... as if countless tiny molten nuclei were ignited instantly, bursting out with a deafening roar.

"You're about to die! How dare you bark like that? Let's see where you go now!"

A figure in a fiery robe suddenly appeared in the sky. It was Tao Mie, whom they had met before. Now his physical body had been restored. He had a sullen face, his brows furrowed as if in anger, and he waved his sleeve.

Li Muyun's pupils shrank suddenly as an extremely familiar array spirit power slowly spread out across the sky.

Interesting. This old thing is hiding here and has even set up a large formation. He is so cautious even when facing someone like me who is only at the Nascent Soul stage. He truly lives up to his reputation as an old thing!

But still, I'll die!

At this moment, as the power of the array spirit continued to be activated, a faint crimson-gold flame appeared out of thin air outside the bottom of the cliff, and then burned fiercely and exploded.

Puff puff puff!

Countless points of light exploded and rippled in mid-air, transforming into crimson cranes with feathers that were tempered and refined, as if woven and forged by raging flames. Their wings would whistle and flash, generating waves of heat.

Thousands of fiery cranes stood on cliffs and rocks, or circled in the low sky, their fiery wings flapping and whistling. Each fiery crane had a fierce and cold gaze, its aura locked onto Li Muyun.

Each of these Flame Cranes possessed an aura far stronger than Li Muyun's Nascent Soul cultivation. Their intertwined auras formed a monstrous heat wave, threatening to incinerate everything at any moment.

The silent, decaying air outside the cliff was instantly ignited, with crackling and popping sounds filling the air, turning this place into a blazing furnace.

In the center of the void, Tao Mie was thin and wiry, dressed in a crimson robe with gold and cloud patterns. The sleeves of the robe moved without wind, and his expression was indifferent and cold as he stared intently at Li Muyun below.

At this moment, he stood on a huge crimson flame wheel, with several fiery cranes circling within it, his power soaring to the heavens. The might of a peak Mahayana expert was on full display.

Tao Mie's expression had returned to normal. Perhaps it was against the demeanor of a strong person to show such anger when dealing with a mere cultivator. He wore a calm and cold expression on his face and said in a low voice.

"This is the Blazing Crane Formation created by me, which combines the essence of the Sun God's True Fire with the souls of ten thousand cranes. It is both a cage and a furnace. Today, I will bury you. Rest assured, I will burn your soul to ashes, and no treasure will be able to detect it."

Tao Mie's expression was cold, his jaw was clenched, and his words still contained some fluctuations in his emotions.

Li Muyun was simply too detestable. He had been lured underground and had his body crushed by a giant snake for no reason. Although the soul of a Mahayana expert was immortal and the body could be reconstructed, such rare and precious materials were hard to find, and repairing it would be very painful.

Even if you refined that little beast's soul ten times, it would still be difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Hahahaha... Senior is still nervous."

Li Muyun, inside the Flaming Crane Furnace, had a rosy complexion and remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by the turmoil, and continued to laugh loudly.

"You sharp-tongued brat, once you fall into my hands, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"If you're not worried, why did you activate this great formation? You're just a minor cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage; what kind of trouble could you possibly cause?"

Li Muyun remained calm and composed, standing with his hands behind his back. He looked up at Tao Mie, who seemed to be controlling the Flaming Crane Death Formation like a god or demon, without showing any panic.

"Go to hell!"

Tao Mie could no longer stand it. This kid was still being stubborn and putting on airs, making him lose face. He was furious and recklessly activated the Blazing Crane Formation.

The power of the Flaming Crane suddenly activated, with towering flames roaring and soaring into the sky. The Flaming Cranes took flight in unison, and the heavenly fire spread across the plains.

Li Muyun's gaze sharpened, and the extremely refined energy of the Rabbit God within his body roared and condensed, pouring out like a raging torrent, surging wildly into his body.

The vital energy rises steadily, leading to the Great Perfection of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Body!

Having taken a single step into the peak of the Mahayana realm, after completing the cultivation of the Tengshe Body, Li Muyun's spiritual and physical strength both improved significantly, enabling him to withstand the cultivation of the peak of the Mahayana realm.

Facing the blazing Yanhe, Li Muyun's fist light solidified, and crimson thunder surged and gathered, bursting forth suddenly.

Boom!

A thunderclap struck the raging fire, and in a flash of light, a dazzling brilliance shone forth.

At this moment, Li Muyun's aura was terrifyingly powerful, with all kinds of might gathered around him. His aura at the peak of the Mahayana stage was as solid and strong as that of a god or demon. His physical strength shattered Yan He, and his fist power remained undiminished as he blasted it straight towards Tao Mie.

Tao Mie was surprised by this turn of events. Although he had expected it, he still did not expect Li Muyun to step into the peak of Mahayana in one step!
