I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

boom

Thunder roared overhead in the Ghost Cry Forest.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Elder Kuyin let out a miserable scream, his eyes bulging outwards, and blood vessels cracking at the corners of his eyes.

He could clearly feel that his Foundation Establishment spiritual power, which he had cultivated diligently for over a hundred years, was being rapidly drawn away by a vortex.

But Gu Yun wasn't feeling well either!

"Ugh...uh!"

Gu Yun suddenly let out a muffled groan, his veins bulging all over his body, and even blood seeping from the corners of his eyes.

Trying to devour a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Qi Refining is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—completely impractical.

The foundation-building spiritual energy had just entered his body.

It was as if a huge mouthful of scalding lava was burning and destroying along the veins in his arm.

Click click click!

Gu Yun's right arm emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound from its bones, and its flesh began to disintegrate inch by inch under the terrifying spiritual pressure.

The sword wound that had pierced his chest was forced open again by the violent spiritual energy. Fragments of his internal organs gushed out along with black blood.

Seeing this, Ku Yin was overjoyed and said:

"You old madman. You're going to explode and die. Or you can let me go, and I'll pretend I don't know you."

Gu Yun glanced at the withered shady tree and smiled.

Elder Kuyin's heart sank, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

"Even if it means my own self-destruction, I'll drag you, you old bastard, down to hell with me!"

Elder Kuyin suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and the last bit of Foundation Establishment divine consciousness suddenly reversed, actually trying to forcibly detonate the remaining liquid spiritual power in his dantian!

The self-destruction of the foundation can turn an area within a radius of a hundred feet into a flat ground.

Gu Yun happened to be at the very front, so he was bound to be blown to bits.

Gu Yun suddenly burst into wild laughter, his bloodied and mangled old face displaying a kind of madness.

"The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion, a talisman."

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the five beads of joy, thought, anger, desire, and fear connected completely at this moment, forming a line that created a dazzling purplish-black halo.

Old Ghost carried out a massacre in Ghost Cry Forest, killing hundreds of Hehuan Sect disciples, and then collected the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

That immense mental pollution flowed along Gu Yun's arm and poured into Elder Ku Yin's reversing sea of ​​consciousness!

"What the hell is this thing?! Get out of here right now! Get out of here right now!"

Elder Kuyin was about to self-destruct, but his actions were interrupted.

His consciousness was instantly overwhelmed by Gu Yun's state of mind, which was filled with all sorts of negative emotions.

He saw the many female cultivators he had killed through his method of sexual exploitation transform into vengeful ghosts coming to claim his lives, and he also saw his deepest fears being magnified infinitely.

The inner demons backfire, leading to utter ruin!

"Refine it for me!!!"

Gu Yun could no longer restrain himself. He raised his head and let out a roar that was both mournful and frantic.

He actually abandoned the protection of his internal meridians, causing that scalding hot liquid spiritual energy to run rampant throughout his body.

Destruction precedes construction, failure precedes success!

If a person's meridians are broken, then the enemy's blood essence can be used to forcibly reconnect them.

If the bones are fractured, then the bone marrow from the foundation-building stage is used to rebuild them.

The body can't take it anymore?

Then let's completely shatter this aging mortal body and reshape the physical form.

goo-dong... goo-dong...

Elder Kuyin's body was like a punctured ball, visibly deflated and shriveled.

His once full muscles shrunk, and his black hair turned snow-white and fell out in a very short time.

He used to look down on ordinary people. Now, all that remains is endless regret and fear.

If he had another chance, he would rather provoke that old monster in the Golden Core stage than step into this forest, and he would never provoke this old madman named Gu Yun!

Ten breaths.

Twenty breaths.

Thirty breaths!

boom.

Gu Yun withdrew her right hand.

Beneath him in the mud lay a skeleton. The skeleton was so skeletal that it couldn't even support clothing, as if it had been dried out for many years.

The Foundation Establishment Grand Master of the Hehuan Sect had been a formidable figure in the martial arts world for over a hundred years.

But in the end, he fell into the hands of an eighty-year-old Lianqi.

Huff...ho...ho...

Gu Yun knelt in the mud, his hands supporting him on the ground, panting heavily.

The way he looks now is more terrifying than a ghost.

His skin was cracked all over, like a pieced-together shattered porcelain doll.

The dark red blood and purplish-black poisonous mist congealed into a thick layer of scabs on his body.

hum!

Suddenly, a resounding Daoist voice, as loud as a great bell, emanated from within Gu Yun's body!

The surging Foundation Establishment spiritual power was completely subdued by the powerful suppression of the Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion, transforming into drops of thick, purplish-black liquid that dripped into Gu Yun's parched dantian.

First drop! Second drop! Third drop!

Spiritual energy liquefies, laying the initial foundation for the Great Dao!

Gu Yun's body began to float uncontrollably, and the surrounding rainwater swirled wildly under his spiritual pressure.

He had a large stab wound in his left chest.

Flesh buds visibly grew at the scalpel hole, intertwining and gradually merging together.

His head was covered in white hair like weeds, which fell out strand by strand, and then grew back in long, silvery-gray hair with an eerie sheen.

His back crackled like popping beans before straightening completely.

A powerful pressure appeared, a pressure unique to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Seize the enemy's foundation, and forge my path to immortality!

Deep within his consciousness, the "Book of Changes in Destiny," which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light. When the pages were turned, it seemed to possess an aura of overwhelming power.

[Slay the Foundation Establishment cultivator, seize the Dao Fruit!]

[Destiny shifts dramatically, the Demon Lord's true colors are beginning to emerge!]

[Subject: Gu Yun]

[Current Realm: Early Foundation Establishment Stage!]

Lifespan: 280 years (200 years remaining)!

"Two hundred years...two hundred years of lifespan..."

Gu Yun slowly opened her eyes.

Crack... Snap...

Inside the deep pit, a continuous cracking sound, like a shell shedding its skin, could be heard.

Gu Yun's body was covered with a thick layer of blood scabs, which were formed from the congealing of mud, poisonous blood, and fragments of internal organs.

At this moment, the scab, like a dried-up riverbed, began to crack and peel off inch by inch.

The scabs have fallen off. The skin that is now revealed is no longer the withered state of an old person, but rather a firm texture with a jade-like luster and explosive power.

May you live to be two hundred years old!

This is the fortune possessed by the Foundation Building and Great Repair.

Gu Yun's white hair, due to excessive depletion of her vitality, fell off like weeds in the rain.

Then a head of long, silver-gray hair appeared, dancing in the wind.

The eye sockets, which were originally sunken, have now become fuller.

He was no longer that eighty-year-old man on the verge of death.

A middle-aged man stood in the mud.

His face was stern.

"This is... what youth feels like..."

Gu Yun clenched his fists tightly. He felt his blood and qi were so strong that it seemed he could shatter a mountain with a single punch.

However, just as he was about to circulate the liquid foundation-building spiritual power he had just seized and roar to the sky...

A sudden change has occurred!

Boom!!!

That wasn't thunder, but a terrifying roar coming from inside Gu Yun's body.

Suddenly, a power appeared. This power was vast, cold, and possessed an absolutely ruthless will. Without any warning, it descended upon Gu Yun's dantian.

That is the law of Heaven!

The Way of Heaven is devoid of emotion, as solemn as its unyielding rules.

It was as if they were trying to forcibly erase Gu Yun.

"Damn it, you wicked God, didn't you leave me even the slightest way to survive?"

Gu Yun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his knees were in excruciating pain, as if they were about to be crushed by the invisible pressure of the Heavenly Dao.

He watched as the foundation in his dantian began to boil violently, then collapsed, and he was about to explode and die!

It was during that extremely brief moment, a matter of life and death.

hum! ! !

The deepest part of Gu Yun's consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, the pages of the Book of Destiny were turned rapidly, and lines of wild cursive characters, seemingly irrigated with dark gold blood, suddenly burst forth in Gu Yun's mind.

The subject of this fate is but a withered mortal skeleton, without any affinity for immortality or spiritual roots.

[Those who cultivate the path against the heavens will be punished by the heavens, who will seek to shatter their foundation.]

I have altered cause and effect, changed destiny; how dare Heaven interfere!

【Then let's steal the sky and change the sun.】

Suddenly, the Book of Changes and Destiny burst forth with an unprecedented, dazzling golden light, which also carried a faint sense of arrogance and disdain for all the heavens.

Only the Book of Changes and Destiny truly dares to defy the Way of Heaven.

The Book of Destiny transformed into a real object, directly enveloping the laws of Heaven.

It forms a cocoon-like structure.

It surged swiftly along the dragon vein of the spine, then rushed directly towards the center of the forehead.

Finally, it moved to Gu Yun's brow, forming a small red dot.

It was unusually strange and eerie.

boom!

The Dao Foundation underwent a sudden change, and then, without any apparent reason, rushed into Gu Yun's Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Within the Purple Mansion, the originally suspended Joyful Pearl was forcibly knocked open by this force.

The liquid foundation directly occupied the position of the auspicious pearl and became completely stable.

The pearl, pushed aside, resembled a satellite.

It began to slowly rotate around the dark base.

The two mutually reinforce each other, thus becoming extremely strong and difficult to destroy.

The wind and rain suddenly stopped.

Gu Yun was panting heavily, his entire body soaked in cold sweat.

He used his divine sense to look inside and saw that the first Purple Mansion Dao Foundation was firmly established in the Purple Mansion. Then he looked down at his empty dantian, where not even a trace of spiritual energy remained.

It’s over.

The Book of Destiny has been taken offline.

Why did that poisonous blood disappear? That was a trump card that could break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

The poisonous blood was unusually potent; could it be the work of the Book of Fate?

But it's no use saying anything now.

It's all gone.
