I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Gu Yun raised his head and let out a long, satisfying whistle.

The immense vitality not only instantly healed his wounds, but also caused a faint rumbling sound to emanate from the depths of his empty dantian.

Deep within his consciousness, dark golden characters emerged.

[Slayed a late-stage Golden Core sword cultivator, despite being of a higher level.]

[Life Deprivation in effect: Deprives the deceased of 1% of their remaining lifespan, granting them four years of lifespan in return.]

[Current total lifespan: 181 years]

"One hundred and eighty-one years, and we've broken even."

Gu Yun casually put away Li Tai'a's storage ring and the top-grade flying sword, and stood at the bottom of the canyon covered in blood, looking like a demon god.

Just then.

A terrifying pressure, almost tangible, surpassed that of all previous Golden Core cultivators.

They frantically approached the direction of the One-Line Sky Canyon.

Golden Elixir Perfection!

Moreover, he was a top-tier old monster who was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage!

"Finally, someone of sufficient stature has arrived."

Gu Yun felt this terrifying pressure, but instead of backing down, he twisted his neck hard, making a cracking sound.

He casually stuck the top-grade flying sword he had stolen into the mud beside him, his scarlet eyes fixed on the depths of the poisonous miasma.

A terrifying shockwave forcibly tore open a vacuum tunnel several miles long!

Rumble!

"This is?"

Gu Yun stood at the bottom of the canyon, his feet firmly planted in the rocks like the roots of an old tree.

Despite the violent wind, her long, silver-gray hair was blown backward.

He raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on the sky.

Amidst the blood-red clouds filling the sky, a crimson river ten zhang wide was seen rolling out from the void.

Above the boiling river of blood sat a bald old man with a gaunt face, but whose eyes flickered like two will-o'-the-wisps.

Blood Fiend Valley's Deputy Valley Master, Golden Core Great Perfection, Blood Fierce.

Xue Li looked down from his high position, his gaze sweeping over Li Tai'a, who was smashed into a V-shape at the bottom of the canyon and died a gruesome death.

Those two will-o'-the-wisps of eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Li Tai'a of Wanjian Manor? The sword cultivator known as the best in late-stage Golden Core combat, was actually crushed to death by you with your bare hands?"

Xue Li's voice was extremely piercing.

He looked down at Gu Yun, who was covered in blood and had bulging muscles. A deep sense of extreme fear flashed in his eyes, but even more so, greed.

"Without magical power, you managed to kill four Golden Core cultivators with just your physical body... Your body is simply the most perfect material for a Blood Fiend Puppet!"

Xue Li chuckled sinisterly.

Before he could finish speaking, Xue Li gave Gu Yun no chance to catch his breath or set up an array. He suddenly formed a strange hand seal and roared.

"Blood River Realm, suppress!"

Splash!

The towering river of blood, suspended in mid-air, poured down with terrifying power that could melt magical artifacts, covering the sky and cascading down to the bottom of the canyon.

In the blink of an eye, the entire First Line Sky Canyon was filled with viscous blood, transforming into a true Netherworld Blood Sea.

Chi Chi Chi!

Gu Yun was instantly submerged in blood.

This blood is not an ordinary liquid at all.

Instead, it was the foul blood and filth that Xue Li had spent hundreds of years collecting and refining from countless wronged souls and their essence.

Even Gu Yun's glass-like bones, tempered by heavenly lightning.

The moment the skin came into contact with the blood, a large plume of white smoke instantly rose from it, and an intense burning pain pierced the very soul!

"You want to dissolve me with this disgusting stuff?"

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, Gu Yun's eyes were wide open.

The raging, primal energy of the Great Wilderness Body formed a dark red protective shield on its surface, fiercely resisting the erosion of the blood.

He pushed off the bottom of the valley with both legs, his whole body like a torpedo, trying to force his way to the surface of the sea of ​​blood.

"Be a turtle in my Blood River Realm."

Seeing this, Xue Li, who was hovering above the sea of ​​blood, let out a contemptuous sneer.

He waved his staff.

Dozens of thick, blood-red tentacles instantly condensed within the sea of ​​blood.

Incredibly flexible, it tightly wrapped around Gu Yun's legs, waist, and arms, forcefully dragging him back.

boom! boom! boom!

Gu Yun struggled frantically on the seabed, the terrifying force tearing off each of the blood-red tentacles.

But this place is a sea of ​​blood.

The tentacles, once severed, will instantly re-form in the blood, endlessly.

Pure physical attacks are extremely ineffective against this kind of fluid-based magic.

"Hahaha! Struggle, despair! When your life force is exhausted, I will extract your soul and burn it like a sky lantern!"

Xue Li hovered high in the sky, watching Gu Yun roar madly in the sea of ​​blood, unable to escape, his eyes filled with cruel pleasure.

This is the terrifying foundation of a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator.

Once the domain is activated, the brute force of body cultivators becomes completely useless!

"He's a bit smarter than the previous ones."

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, Gu Yun ceased his futile struggle.

He allowed those blood-red tentacles to tightly bind him.

The corrosive blood around him was constantly eroding his protective qi and blood.

But there was no trace of despair in his eyes; instead, there was a calmness.

"Fluids can overcome physics? Then let's turn fluids into solids!"

"Water turns to ice when it gets too cold... Ordinary ice is ineffective; for something truly powerful, we need to set up an array!"

Gu Yun's bound hands reached for the storage rings at her waist.

Whoosh!

Thousands of crystal-clear mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones were scattered by Gu Yun in the depths of the sea of ​​blood, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers!

"Has this barbarian gone mad? What's the point of scattering spirit stones in the blood river?"

Xue Li, who was in mid-air, frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but then scoffed.

However, the next moment, Xue Li's expression froze instantly!

Because of his horrifying discovery.

Those thousands of spirit stones were not scattered randomly, but rather floated on different nodes of the sea of ​​blood in a strange trajectory that conformed to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yun forcefully extracted several drops of essence blood from the depths of the sea of ​​blood, flicked his fingers repeatedly, and accurately injected them into the core array eye.

"Using blood as a catalyst and stone as a foundation, the Mystic Ice Sealing Heaven Array"

"freeze!"

Accompanied by Gu Yun's furious roar from the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

hum!

An extremely cold aura erupted from Gu Yun's center!

This chilling aura was not the cultivator's magical power, but rather Gu Yun's use of an array to forcibly extract the extremely yin energy from the deepest underground veins within a hundred miles.

Click click click click click!

The chilling sound of ice forming instantly echoed throughout the entire canyon!

That once boiling, viscous, corrosive sea of ​​blood.

The moment it came into contact with this chilling aura from the depths of the underworld, it began to freeze from the bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dark blue ice crystals spread.

The crimson tentacles that were wrapped around Gu Yun instantly transformed into hard, fragile crimson ice sculptures.

"impossible……"

Blood Fierce and the souls of the dead were all in turmoil. He frantically urged his Golden Core Perfection power, trying to reclaim his Blood River Realm.

But it was too late!

In just three breaths.

The towering sea of ​​blood within the entire First Line Sky Canyon was frozen solid into a massive, dark red block of ice.

boom!

The moment the sea of ​​blood froze, Gu Yun suddenly swung his arms, and those blood-red tentacles, frozen into icicles, instantly shattered into ice shards scattered all over the ground.

He stood beneath the massive ice sheet, raised his head, and revealed an extremely cruel grin on his face.

"Your foot bath water has frozen."

boom!

Gu Yun bent his knees slightly, and all the blood and energy of the Great Wilderness Body gathered in his feet at this moment!

He stomped his foot hard, and the solid ice beneath his feet instantly shattered into powder!

He crashed through the crimson ice, shooting skyward amidst a flurry of flying ice crystals!

"Monster, this is a monster."

Xue Li was completely panicked.

The field we were so proud of has been breached.

Looking at that figure that resembled a god of death, a trace of fear arose in his Dao heart.

"Blood Escape Technique! Let's go!"

Xue Li dared not fight any longer. Without hesitation, he bit his tongue and was about to turn into a bloody light and escape!

"You think you can run from me?"

In mid-air, Gu Yun's roar exploded like thunder.

I was just in the Cave of Ten Thousand Bones.

He was trying to forcibly compress the violent essence of the four Golden Core cultivators in his dantian, which is why he couldn't kill Xue Wuya with a single blow.

But at this moment, under the extreme pressure and death crisis in the sea of ​​blood, the enormous energy in his body that had absorbed the four golden pills was finally completely fused together by his abnormal physical body!

"Dantian, gather your essence for me!"

Gu Yun let out a long roar that shook the heavens in mid-air.

Boom!

Within Gu Yun's body, in his empty dantian, a muffled sound seemed to emanate from the very beginning!

The lifelong cultivation of the four Golden Core cultivators.

Mixed with the wisp of extreme cold essence that Gu Yun cultivated in the Ice Soul Secret Realm, it was subjected to the frenzied compression of the "Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion".

He actually managed to form a rudimentary Dao foundation within his dantian!

Although it is only in its initial form and not yet fully stable, but!

Gu Yun finally regained his own magical power at this moment!

"You old dog! Get down here!"

Gu Yun clenched his fist in the air, and the wisp of magic power that had just been generated, combined with the terrifying physical body of the Great Wilderness Body, actually condensed into a dark golden handprint in mid-air.

He grabbed Xue Li, who had just transformed into a streak of blood and fled hundreds of feet away!

"Magic power? How could you suddenly have magic power?"

Xue Li was held firmly in mid-air by that dark golden hand.

His bones cracked under the strain, and he screamed in despair, his eyes filled with incredulous horror.

"Because your service was so excellent!"

Gu Yunren closed the distance in mid-air like lightning.

He appeared in front of Xue Li in an instant, his scarlet eyes devoid of any pity.

"The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion, all unlocked!"

The terrifying mental pollution instantly destroyed Xue Li's mental defenses.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yun's large, luminous hand pierced through Xue Li's chest and grabbed his golden core.

"swallow!"

"Ughhhhh!"

The most agonizing screams echoed across the Bloodstained Ridge.

The Blood Fierce Golden Core Great Perfection cultivation, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into Gu Yun's newly formed dantian foundation!

Visibly, the Dao Foundation was greedily absorbing nutrients, becoming more and more solid and dazzling!

Xue Li's body, in despair, turned into ashes that drifted away in the wind.

hum!

As Xue Li completely perished, a ring of tangible spiritual energy ripples erupted from Gu Yun's dantian!

The foundation of the Dao in the dantian is now completely solid!

But I always feel like something is missing.

At this moment, Gu Yun not only became physically invincible, but also embarked on the true path of cultivation once again!

Cultivating both physical and spiritual power, invincible among those of the same level!

Within the Purple Mansion's sea of ​​consciousness, the Crimson Butterfly Imprint fluttered its wings wildly, and dark golden characters cascaded down like a waterfall:

[Slaying a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation level!]

[Life Deprivation in effect: Deprives the deceased of 1% of their remaining lifespan, granting them an additional five years of lifespan.]

[The subject's current total lifespan: 186 years!]

"One hundred and eighty-six years! Hahaha! My life is back!"

Gu Yun laughed wildly, his voice shaking the heavens!

He casually crushed Xue Li's storage ring, taking all the treasures inside into his own space.

He hovered in mid-air, feeling the perfect fusion of the abundant chaotic magic power and domineering blood energy within his body.

He lowered his head, his gaze piercing through the thick poisonous miasma, looking at the remaining cultivators on the outskirts of Weeping Blood Ridge who were terrified and fleeing frantically. A cruel and arrogant sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Warm-up is over."

Gu Yun hovered in mid-air, panting heavily.

Although he had just forcibly drained Xue Li, the nascent form of the Dao Foundation within his dantian had already begun to appear.

But his condition at this moment was extremely bad.

Forcibly defeating several Golden Core cultivators beyond his level had already overloaded his Great Wilderness Body, leaving his internal organs riddled with cracks.

However, his dantian foundation was not yet fully stable, and the enormous spiritual power within his body was like a wild horse running rampant through his meridians.

However, just as he was about to land and adjust his breathing!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deep within the poisonous miasma of Weeping Blood Ridge, five beams of light suddenly erupted into the sky!

Five terrifying Golden Core pressures, no less powerful than Xue Li's.

Like five towering mountains, they locked Gu Yun firmly in the center from the east, west, south, and north.

clap clap clap...

Accompanied by a cold clapping sound, five aged figures, each exuding murderous intent, stepped forward.

Two Supreme Protectors of Blood Fiend Valley, two reclusive sword cultivators of Ten Thousand Swords Manor, and an old monster from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect whose body was covered with poisonous sores!

The top experts in the late stage or even the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm!

"What a formidable body-cultivating demon! You managed to kill so many people with your bare hands. But you probably don't even have the strength to stand anymore, do you?"

The old swordsman from Wanjian Manor sneered, and his natal flying sword emitted a piercing buzzing sound.

"He has too many secrets: that bizarre devouring technique, and the means by which he set up formations here... Let's all work together, cripple his limbs first, then search his soul and seize his treasures!"

The old monster of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect greedily licked his lips.

"kill!"

Without any preamble, the five Golden Core cultivators launched an immediate attack!

Five devastating killing techniques.

A raging sea of ​​blood, a world-destroying sword, and a poisonous rain that rots bones.

It transformed into a vast net, crashing down upon Gu Yun!

"Those old sly dogs!"

Gu Yun's eyes were bloodshot. He roared and forcefully squeezed out the last bit of blood and energy from his body.

The Great Wilderness Body erupted with a dark bronze light, throwing a punch to meet the attack!

boom!boom!

puff!

The difference is too big!

In his prime, Gu Yun could have escaped unscathed even if he was no match for him.

But at this moment, he was already at his limit. The combined attack of the five Golden Core cultivators instantly shattered his defenses.

Two sword energies pierced directly through his shoulders.

The highly toxic, corrosive rain scorched a large area of ​​his flesh, while the bloodthirsty aura pounded into his chest like a heavy hammer.

Ugh!

Gu Yun coughed up a mouthful of blood and was slammed to the ground like a meteorite, creating a huge crater.

"Click-clack..."

He tried to get up, but his leg bones let out a groan of despair and he fell to his knees.

"Am I... really going to die here?"

Gu Yun gritted her teeth, her vision blurring.

We can't beat them!

These five old monsters didn't give him a chance for close combat at all; they completely crushed him from a distance using their cultivation level and magical power!

In mid-air, the five Golden Core cultivators grinned maliciously, preparing to strike Gu Yun with their final blow.

However, just as Gu Yun's dantian foundation was about to be fully formed!

Rumble!

A heavenly sound rang out from the highest heavens without warning!

The sky, which was originally gray due to poisonous miasma.

At this moment, it turned into a suffocating pure black.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles instantly went berserk.

It transformed into a terrifying vortex of thunderclouds that blotted out the sky, hovering above Weeping Blood Ridge.

The center of the vortex.

The purplish-black lightning tribulation roared like a world-destroying dragon, embodying the supreme and destructive will of the Heavenly Dao.

The five Golden Core cultivators in mid-air froze instantly, their faces turning deathly pale with horror.
