Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

"roar--!!!"

A terrifying roar, far exceeding the level of Qi Refining, came from the depths of the Sanctuary!

Accompanying this was a raging tide of dark red malevolent energy that swept across the heavens and earth!

Wherever the raging tide passed, the monsters that had just crawled out melted and reformed, transforming into even larger and more ferocious forms that pounced on all living beings!

"It's too late!"

Scar Wolf turned around and roared, his blade flashing as he cleaved several bone beasts blocking his path, but more monsters were surging in from all directions!

Li Xiaoyao suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the overwhelming, malevolent aura that blotted out the sky, then at his nephew beside him, whose face was pale but who was gritting his teeth and persevering, and at his teammates who were fighting hard.

"Second Uncle!"

Li Chijing said urgently.

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp as knives.

"Scarface! Aunt Liu! Han Mo!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears:

"As the deputy head of the family, I order you—immediately take Chi Jing and everyone else and retreat to Hou Tu Jin Ya as quickly as possible! Do not look back! Do not linger!"

"Second Master! Then you..."

Scarface glared.

"I'll cover the rear."

Li Xiaoyao spoke calmly, and the "Four Seasons Mirror" at his waist shone brightly, its crimson mirror reflecting his cold and handsome profile.

"Someone has to buy you time. Don't worry, I have the 'Four Seasons Mirror' at my disposal. If we can't beat them, we can at least run away, right?"

"Don't give me any of that 'we'll die together' kind of melodramatic nonsense. Just get out of here, that's the best solution."

He gave Li Chijing a push:

"Listen to me, go! Go back and tell your dad that your second uncle went to run a high-level dungeon, got some good gear, and will come home!"

"Second Uncle!"

Li Chijing's eyes were red.

"Walk!"

Li Xiaoyao shouted sharply, and at the same time, the "Four Seasons Mirror" shone brightly with a red light!

A blazing ring of fire, as intense as the sun, suddenly expanded outwards from him, instantly incinerating dozens of approaching monsters into ashes!

"Take him away!"

Scarface gritted his teeth, grabbed Li Chijing's arm, and roared at Liu Gu and Han Mo:

"Protect the team, retreat at full speed!"

The squad transformed into several streaks of light, desperately rushing back the way they came.

Li Xiaoyao stood alone on the scorched rock, grinning as he watched the surging tide of malevolent energy and the endless torrent of monsters approach.

"Blood Moon, Ancient Ruins, Undead Scourge... This dungeon is actually quite exciting."

He raised his hand and gently stroked the warm body of the "Four Seasons Mirror".

"Old pal, our first real battle is already on hell difficulty. We... we'd better do our best."

The mirror's crimson surface shimmered, reflecting the burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

Beneath the crimson sky, the scorched plains have been transformed into a living hell.

Hundreds of twisted monsters crawled out of the cracks in the ground.

Some of them were pieced together from bones, while others were a mixture of rotting flesh and malevolent energy, their eye sockets burning with a bloodthirsty red light, emitting roars of unknown meaning.

They surged one after another toward the figure standing alone on the charred rock.

Li Xiaoyao remained calm as the "Four Seasons Mirror" floated before him, its crimson mirror surface shimmering with light.

"Seriously... too many ants are annoying."

He pointed his finger, and a burst of red light suddenly shone in the mirror!

"The True Fire of Mysterious Glory, Spreads Across the Plains!"

call--

Centered on him, a ring of blazing white flames erupted and swept outwards like waves!

Wherever the flames passed, the air distorted. Those Qi Refining stage corpses, bone beasts, and evil spirits didn't even have time to scream before turning into ashes in the extreme heat!

The power of the Immortal Foundation Divine Abilities is a complete and utter annihilation of enemies at the Qi Refining level.

But the monsters emerging from the cracks in the earth seemed endless.

As one batch burned to ashes, another batch crawled out, and as the blood moon's light grew increasingly crimson, the aura of the newly emerging monsters became noticeably stronger.

The late stage of Qi Refining and even the perfect stage of Qi Refining began to appear.

"Tsk, it even refreshes and upgrades?"

Li Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, but remained calm.

Under his control, the "Four Seasons Mirror" would occasionally shoot out streaks of condensed fire, accurately killing the flying evil insects that were trying to surround it from afar.

Sometimes the mirror would flip, sprinkling down a rain of fire that covered a large area of ​​low-level monsters.

He moved nimbly and agilely within a hundred feet of Jiaoyan.

Every step he took was perfectly timed to avoid the gushing evil energy from the earth's fissures, and every attack he made took the lives of a large number of monsters.

The magical power during the Foundation Establishment stage is abundant and enduring, and when combined with the "Four Seasons Mirror" to amplify supernatural powers, the efficiency is extremely high.

Time passed second by second.

The dark red sky showed no sign of day or night, but the position of the blood moon had shifted from rising to mid-sky.

Beneath Li Xiaoyao's feet, the scorched earth was covered with the monster's remains, which continued to carbonize and crumble under the residual heat of his true fire.

The air was filled with a pungent odor, a mixture of burning and malevolent smells.

"It's been almost half a day..."

Li Xiaoyao scanned his surroundings with his divine sense.

The frequency of monsters emerging from the cracks in the ground began to decrease significantly, from a dozen or so per breath at the beginning to only one or two crawling out every few breaths now.

But the oppressive feeling emanating from the depths of the sanctuary grew stronger and stronger.

With a thought, he took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, uncorked it, and drank the milky white liquid inside, which exuded a refreshing spiritual aura, in one gulp.

It was the "century-old stalactite" that I bought when I left the post station that was a precious item for quickly replenishing my magical power and nourishing my meridians.

The cool, spiritual energy entered his abdomen, quickly dissolving and nourishing his meridians and dantian, which had become somewhat depleted from continuous combat. Li Xiaoyao felt a surge of energy.

At that very moment—

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

From the direction of the sanctuary, three pillars of malevolent energy, far more terrifying than any previous commotion, shot into the sky!

Each one was over ten feet thick, dark red to almost black, and pierced straight through the blood moon!

Within the pillar of malevolent energy, three enormous shadows slowly emerged and coalesced.

The left side is made up of countless pale bones, resembling a giant ape!

It was about five zhang tall, with a ball of emerald green soul fire burning fiercely in its chest cavity, and its aura had reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

The one on the right is a mixture of rotting flesh, rock armor, and flowing malevolent energy, resembling a crouching giant lizard!

It was seven or eight zhang tall, and the viscous liquid dripping from its mouth corroded the ground, producing hissing white smoke. Its aura was also at the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

And the one in the middle...

Li Xiaoyao's pupils contracted slightly.

It was a monster that barely managed to maintain a human form!

It was about three zhang tall, with one half of its body made of twisted, dark gold bones and the other half filled with surging, seemingly alive, dark red malevolent energy.

It has no facial features; where its head is, there is only a constantly rotating black vortex.

Deep within the vortex, two crimson lights locked onto Li Xiaoyao like eyes!

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

Moreover, it faintly carries a hint of... consciousness?

"A three-headed Foundation Establishment level 'Frankenstein's monster,' one of whom is still in the mid-stage..."

Li Xiaoyao licked his slightly dry lips.

"Although they all seem to follow the old methods of Foundation Establishment, with weak auras and limited supernatural abilities, the sheer number of them combined with the suppression of their cultivation level... makes this a bit difficult to handle."

"roar--!!!"

The bone ape took the initiative, roaring to the sky as its soul fire surged in its chest cavity, and its white bones slammed into the ground!

"Boom!"

The ground cracked open, and dozens of sharp bone spikes burst forth from the soil, piercing towards Li Xiaoyao's location like lightning!

Almost simultaneously, the Carrion Giant Lizard opened its mouth and spewed out a thick, dark green poisonous mist that swept across the land, causing even rocks to sizzle and melt in its wake!

The humanoid monster in the center accelerated the rotation of its head vortex, and two scarlet rays shot out silently, arriving first despite being behind, aiming straight for Li Xiaoyao's brow and dantian!

"Are you serious?!"
