How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Ji Yan had already explained Li Muyun's moves to him, so he probably had a good grasp of them.

However, the sudden surge in combat power still made him uneasy. Because of this, he set up the Blazing Crane Formation to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

Unexpectedly, Li Muyun in front of him had directly raised his cultivation level to the peak of the Mahayana stage!

This shocked Tao Mie, who was deeply moved. He had lived for thousands of years and had never heard of such a powerful move that could elevate one's strength from the Nascent Soul stage to the peak of the Mahayana stage.

What a monster is this!

His mind trembled with fear, and terror immediately surged into his heart. The reason he was so strong was because he had a cultivation level three realms higher than Li Muyun, but now that advantage had vanished.

"You...you're a monster, are you the reincarnation of some old monster?"

After barely managing to withstand Li Muyun's lightning punch, Tao Mie looked extremely flustered, and his initial arrogance was completely gone.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Muyun's figure suddenly exploded before his eyes, and in the next moment it was replaced by the shadow of a Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng Soars!"

Li Muyun shouted loudly, showing no mercy, and immediately activated this supreme immortal technique.

Under the influence of the Kunpeng Immortal Soaring Technique, endless water vapor sprang up out of thin air, instantly reacting violently with the raging fire elements, producing a deafening hissing sound!

At the center of the violent energy tide, an indescribable phantom of a colossal beast is materializing at an alarming speed!

Tao Mie stared blankly at the illusory figure before him, a deep and distant fear gradually rising within him.

There's no other reason than that the sight of this enormous creature before us is strikingly similar to the mythical Kun!

Where Li Muyun disappeared, a vast and ferocious Kun beast covered in blue and gold scales roamed and surged in the void, causing spatial ripples to twist and twitch, surging like a torrent.

Li Muyun traversed the waves as if riding a vast ocean, his power overwhelming and awe-inspiring.

"hold head high--!"

With a roar, countless illusory images of flaming cranes were shattered, and the entire Flaming Crane Formation swayed precariously, cracks suddenly appearing.

After Li Muyun reached the peak of Mahayana cultivation, his understanding and insights into the Kunpeng's journey reached a high level, enabling him to transform into the form of an ancient Kunpeng.

Before my eyes, it transformed into a Kun, a mighty creature in the vast ocean, carrying the supreme power to overturn the starry sea. It completely ignored the annihilating flames that attacked by ten thousand cranes and used the power of elements to crush them.

At this moment, Tao Mie's expression trembled, his mind twitched, and the fear in his eyes had become tangible. The last bit of fighting spirit in his heart had vanished.

Before such a magnificent beast, any resistance would seem utterly futile.

The surging waves of the void crashed against his heart, making him wish he could turn around and run away right now. However, he was already terrified by the ferocious beast.

What kind of divine technique is this? It can actually transform into the ancient Kunpeng beast. Faced with such an ancient beast, how could one possibly have the strength to fight back?

Li Muyun transformed into a vast Kun, a single azure horn condensing on his forehead, into which the breath of surging waves poured, its vast and profound meaning incomparably deep.

"No! Impossible! You must have used some kind of illusion magic, how could this be!"

Tao Mie's hair and beard bristled, and he roared fiercely, his face no longer showing any composure.

From his earlier moment of distraction and panic to his current stern demeanor, Tao Mie only thought for a moment before feeling a deep sense of unreality.

How could there be such a person in this world? First, he jumped three major realms in succession, and then he used the immortal technique of transforming into a Kunpeng. He couldn't believe it!

This is all an illusion created by that kid; I cannot give in to it.

"The sun god's true solution will burn the sky and destroy the earth!"

He rapidly formed hand seals, and the immense Mahayana peak-level magical power within his body surged and coalesced like a volcanic eruption.

In the void behind it, an enormous, blazing sun suddenly appeared, its light shining brightly, carrying the absolute majesty of burning the eight directions, and suddenly illuminating all things. The power of the blazing sun blocked out the sun.

"Please let the gods possess you!"

Tao Mie roared, his aura rising steadily, a dazzling golden light shining and flowing, his originally aged figure becoming tall and upright, a mysterious and ancient aura swirling wildly, under the blessing of this aura, he seemed to transform into an ancient god.

He conjured a colossal blade of Yang essence fire in his hand, its divine might awe-inspiring, and slashed at the overwhelming Kun of the Vast Ocean!

boom!

The colossal blade that blazed across the sky clashed violently with the azure horn of the Kun, a mythical creature from the vast ocean!

In an instant, the flames of annihilation and the might of the vast ocean collided violently, the water and fire elements stirred wildly, emitting a constant hissing sound. Both of them were powerful cultivators at the peak of the Mahayana stage. With the support of such a powerful immortal technique, they had already touched the threshold of the laws and their spells were almost as powerful as immortals.

The raging air currents surged forth, swirling and crashing within the Blazing Crane Formation. The blazing cranes that flapped their wings and howled were torn apart by the turbulent currents in an instant, turning into nothingness. The entire formation roared and boiled, as if a steamer had been ignited, with white flames shooting into the sky!

But when this colossal, sky-burning blade fell, it terrified Tao Mie.

He activated the True Understanding of the Sun God, inviting the Sun God to possess his body, only then was he able to unleash such a powerful Heaven-Burning Giant Blade.

This strike, forged from the essence of the sun and fire of heaven and earth and gathered from the brilliant yang energy of all things, is said to be capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, possessing boundless power. Yet, when it struck the unicorn horn of the Kun in the vast ocean, it merely produced a burst of intensely fiery sparks.

As they collided, the powerful force of their energy blasted them apart, and the Heaven-Burning Giant Blade that he had painstakingly accumulated was so easily neutralized.

Tao Mie's expression grew increasingly solemn, his gaze filled with apprehension as he scrutinized the ancient Kun before him, his body trembling involuntarily.

He had traversed thousands of years and seen all sorts of strange things and powerful figures, but he had never seen anyone like Li Muyun before. He was truly shocked and overwhelmed.

Li Muyun exclaimed in surprise, and his Kunpeng Dao Bone began to rotate like a turbine. The surging and vast true essence poured into his body like a celestial river, swallowing and flowing back into his body, causing his energy to rise again.

"Old man, you have no other secret techniques left. This farce can end here."

Upon hearing this, Tao Mie's face turned cold, and he snorted and shouted.

"Young man, even if you have some terrifying opportunities, I have lived for a thousand years. My trump card is beyond your imagination. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

After saying that, Tao Mie stretched out his palm, and a palm-sized fragment appeared. Some crooked characters were engraved on the fragment, which were difficult to recognize, but the character "sun" could be vaguely made out.

The fragment was radiant with light, constantly shooting out blazing flames, as if a miniature sun had been condensed within it. Its aura was ancient and powerful, and when Tao Mie held the fragment, his power surged into the sky once more.

Upon seeing the fragment, Li Muyun finally became somewhat serious. Sensing its aura, he realized that even though it was a fragment, it was a celestial treasure with extraordinary energy.
