I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

At this moment, Gu Yun was mixed in at the very back of the group.

He hunched over, clutching his chest, coughing incessantly.

Each time he coughed, he would realistically spit out a small mouthful of black blood, which made the Yan family guards in front of him avoid him with disgust.

One of the guards shouted menacingly at Steward Li.

"Stop coughing, you old dog! Your cough has attracted a monster, and you'll be the first one I hold accountable."

Gu Yun kept nodding, but his eyes remained expressionless.

His ear twitched almost imperceptibly.

The Great Wilderness Body gave him not only strength, but also hearing and smell comparable to those of demonic beasts.

rustling...

rustling sounds...

Amidst the gray fog coming from all directions, came an extremely dense sound of arthropods rubbing together, the sound rapidly converging on this side at an alarming speed.

There was also a pungent, sweet, and fishy smell in the air.

They live in groups, have hard armor, and are highly venomous...

Gu Yun lowered his eyes, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"Big trouble is coming."

The instant Gu Yun made his judgment!

Watch your step.

Yan Nanfei suddenly widened his eyes and roared.

boom!

A terrifying centipede, its legs as thick as buckets and three zhang long, its entire body covered with a black, shiny shell like iron.

It looked like a black spear bursting out of the soil.

Its fangs resembled two large scythes. As soon as it appeared, it bit the foremost Yan family guard around the waist.

"Ahhhhh!"

Before the guard could react, he was cut in two.

The foul-smelling venom immediately corroded his upper body, making a sizzling sound, and eventually turned into a puddle of yellow liquid.

"This is the Ironclad Flying Centipede King, and its strength is approaching the third rank."

Yan Nanfei was so frightened that his voice changed tone.

Under normal circumstances, a single early Foundation Establishment spell from him could wipe out a large number of such second-tier demonic beasts.

But here...

Moreover, this armored centipede is least afraid of physical chopping; its exoskeleton is even harder than steel.

Swish!

As if in response to the giant centipede's call, countless pairs of scarlet compound eyes lit up in the surrounding gray mist, beneath the mud, and atop the withered trees.

One after another, the armored centipedes converged from different directions like a black tide.

They surrounded the remaining members of the Yan family.

"No! I don't want to die here! Big brother, come save me!"

Yan Ziyue's face was filled with terror as she wildly swung her long whip like a madwoman.

The whip could only leave white marks on the centipede's carapace, and the centipede's venom also injured his arm, causing him to scream in pain.

"Stop them! Stop them!"

Yan Nanfei looked like he had gone mad, swinging his long sword wildly.

He chopped down several centipedes, but the swarming insects seemed endless. The remaining guards were overwhelmed by the centipede horde in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

The encirclement instantly shrank by one size!

The largest centipede king had already raised half of its body.

despair!

The Yan family's prodigies, brother and sister, were completely shrouded in utter despair.

"I can't die here like this. I'm the future head of the Yan family, how can I be eaten by insects!"

Yan Nanfei's eyes were bloodshot, and out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw the crippled manager, Li De, hiding behind him.

"Manager Li!"

Yan Nanfei suddenly took a step back.

He grabbed Gu Yun by the collar. "The Yan family has supported you for many years. Now, it's time for you, this useless person, to repay their kindness!"

"Young Master! Please don't do this! This old servant does not wish to die."

Gu Yun's face was filled with terror, and she cried out loudly.

He gripped Yan Nanfei's sleeves tightly with both hands, his face streaked with tears and snot. He completely revealed his cowardice and fear of death.

"Get out of here!"

Yan Nanfei's face looked very ugly, and he exerted all his strength in his arms.

He used Gu Yun as a human shield, and like a catapult, he hurled the centipede king with all his might at its gaping maw.

"Purple Moon! Let's go!!!"

Gu Yunfei went out and attracted all the centipedes' attention. In that very short time, Yan Nanfei immediately grabbed Yan Ziyue from the ground and then crushed a very precious third-tier Void-Breaking and Earth-Escape Talisman.

Even in a place like the Forbidden Spirit Abyss, this kind of talisman can be forcibly activated once.

A flash of white light.

The Yan siblings vanished instantly.

The remaining people were swallowed up by the swarm of centipedes.

And in mid-air.

boom!

Gu Yun's body crashed heavily, about to fall into the centipede king's gaping maw.

Hiss!

The centipede king hissed excitedly, its venomous jaws, capable of crushing fine steel, snapped shut, attempting to cut the old human man in half at the waist.

but!

when!!!

The centipede king's powerful venomous fangs lunged at Gu Yun's waist.

There was no bloodshed or carnage.

Instead, it seemed to bite into the ancient divine iron.

Two fine cracks appeared on the poisonous gills.

"What's wrong? You're too weak because you haven't eaten enough?"

A hoarse voice came from below the centipede king's abdomen.

Gu Yun's hunched back then emitted a series of terrifying crackling sounds, like popping beans.

He no longer hid it!

The Great Wilderness Style has fully erupted!

"open!"

In an instant, Gu Yun's hands shot out, his ten fingers like dragon claws, directly turning around and tightly gripping the centipede king's pair of venomous fangs!

Gu Yun roared in anger.

His shriveled muscles swelled up instantly, bursting with a dark bronze sheen.

Using sheer brute force, he tore the three-zhang-long, peak-stage second-tier centipede king in half.

puff!

Dark green, poisonous blood cascaded down from above like a waterfall.

This poisonous blood, when it falls to the ground, corrodes the rocks, creating pits.

When it landed on Gu Yun's skin, it only emitted a few wisps of white smoke, without even burning through the skin.

On the contrary, at the very moment the poisonous blood was poured down, Gu Yun's brow trembled violently!

Gu Yun stood in the waterfall of poisonous blood, his arms outstretched, as the poisonous blood and the essence of the demonic beasts poured into him through his pores.

Hiss!

The centipede king died, which completely enraged the thousands of armored flying centipedes around it.

Like a black torrent, they surged towards Gu Yun layer upon layer, completely engulfing him and turning him into a large black sphere of insects.

Bite! Venom!

Gu Yun's body was being frantically bitten by the venomous fangs of hundreds of centipedes, and the highly poisonous mist completely enveloped the space.

At the very center of that enormous black worm sphere.

boom!

The insect ball suddenly exploded, creating a gap!

Gu Yun plunged his hands directly into the carapaces of the two centipedes.

Gu Yun made no attempt to avoid the venomous fangs.

The highly toxic substance was directly used as a peerless tonic to temper the internal organs.

Swallow! Swallow! Swallow!

The essence and blood of these demonic beasts are continuously transformed into the purest energy.

The slaughter continues, and the flesh and blood are boiling!

More and more violent essence and blood continued to surge into Gu Yun's body, making the temperature of his blood and qi extremely high, and patches of blood-red steam rose from his body.

The Sorrowful Pearl slowly rotated around a blurry Dao base.

clack clack...

Just then, the sound of bones cracking came from Gu Yun's body once again.

Gu Yun raised his head, gripped the two centipedes tightly with both hands, and then smashed them to pieces with force. Immediately afterwards, he pushed his arms outwards with a sudden burst of strength.

boom!

A violent shockwave swept over us, shattering the surrounding mist.

Gu Yun was originally a hunched and short person.

With a sound of bones grinding together, it suddenly grew to over eight feet tall.

The originally withered and atrophied muscles were filled with a huge amount of essence and blood.

It is full of explosive power.

What's even more striking is his face.

Under the scalding heat and blood, Li De's noodles, like a torn mask, began to disintegrate and fall off inch by inch.

The grayish-white, dry hair broke off one by one.

Instead, a head of long, silver-gray hair grew wildly during the fierce battle, dancing wildly in the wind and rain.

Gu Yun has reverted to his true form!

"happy!!!"

He felt that his blood and qi flowed smoothly without any stagnation.

He coldly surveyed the remaining hundreds of armored centipedes around him, which were already trembling under the influence of their instinctive fear.

"Now……"

Gu Yun stuck out his tongue and licked the poisonous blood from the corner of his mouth.

His full head of silver hair danced wildly in the blood mist.

"It's time for lunch."

……

Half an hour later.

A massive mountain of corpses was piled up.

Thousands of withered, armored flying centipedes.

And at the very top of the mountain of corpses.

Gu Yun's upper body was naked, covered with a dark bronze luster, its lines like those of a perfect work of art.

He casually tore off the tattered strip of cloth that belonged to Li De from his body and threw it into the swamp.

His position as manager has ended.

Gu Yun casually flicked away the remaining poisonous blood from the demon beast.

He looked up toward the direction of Falling Star Valley, deep within the mist.

That place is where many rare and precious materials, such as the Yin Lotus, are born.

There, the most outstanding talents are about to engage in a fierce battle.

"Those on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are no ordinary people; their foundations are far beyond my reach. Some even have impressive feats of killing Golden Core cultivators."

Gu Yun sneered inwardly.

Find a place to hide and wait until the secret realm ends.

Take this opportunity to solidify the newly formed foundation of your Dao.

After making up his mind, Gu Yun decided not to try and snatch it anymore.

He walked for a while in the gray fog and found a naturally formed, dry cave below a very secluded cliff.

They moved several large stones over and partially covered the entrance to the cave.

Gu Yun sat cross-legged on a relatively flat rock.

However, just as he was about to close his eyes and quietly cultivate, and was about to regulate the violent blood and qi in his body!

boom!

An immense force instantly smashed open the half-closed boulder at the cave entrance.

A white afterimage appeared.

It burst in like a gust of cold wind.

Gu Yun's eyes hardened, and his dark bronze muscles immediately tensed.

He was just about to make a move when he saw who it was, and froze on the spot.

Gu Yun opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

The person who barged in was Mo Qianyan.

She arrived in the mortal realm of the Great Jin Dynasty by flying on her sword half a year ago.

At that time, she bestowed upon him the "Heaven and Earth Qi-Nourishing Mysterious Scripture" and introduced him to the path of cultivating immortality.

Using the Book of Fate Change, she was changed to the ex-wife, from the Cold Moon Palace.

Mo Qianyan seemed to be avoiding something.

She had just entered the cave and, without thoroughly exploring it, suddenly waved her hand.

Whoosh whoosh!

Several crystal-clear array symbols instantly disappeared into the rock wall at the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, a simple array to isolate the aura was formed.

The formation completely locked down all fluctuations within the cave.

After finishing everything, Mo Qianyan finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

As soon as she turned around, she immediately realized that there were living people inside the cave.

"Who?!"

Mo Qianyan's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent as she abruptly looked up.

Eyes facing each other.

"Gu Yun?!"

The man in front of me was naked from the waist up.

His muscles were a dark bronze color, and he had long, silver-gray hair.

There was a strange, bright red mark between his eyebrows, giving him a unique, sinister, and demonic aura.

But he is indeed Gu Yun.

Besides becoming younger and more bizarre.

Everything else remained completely unchanged!

After a brief silence.

Clang!

A crisp sword sound broke the silence of the cave.

Mo Qianyan drew her longsword, its icy intent pressing directly against Gu Yun's throat.

Gu Yun stared at the gleaming sword tip, swallowed hard, and opened his mouth, but had no idea what to say.

Mo Qianyan's hand holding the sword trembled slightly due to extreme emotional fluctuations.

Why do I have memories of living an ordinary life with you in my mind?

"If my master hadn't used the Cold Moon Palace's most treasured artifact to forcefully awaken me, I would still be stuck in that absurd memory and unable to escape it."

Mo Qianyan gritted her teeth, staring intently at him. She spoke.

"I was originally an orphan and was brought back to the sect when I was very young. For nearly a hundred years, I have been in seclusion in the extremely cold ice cave to cultivate. Before that, I had never lived a mortal life, let alone had any contact with you."

"Tell me! What kind of evil methods did you use? What exactly happened?"

Gu Yun was completely stunned after hearing this.

He gasped.
