I forge immortality with a pagoda.

A large amount of Yin energy was swallowed by the purple light. Shen Yu's aura not only did not weaken, but steadily increased, and the purple light around him became more and more solid.

"He...he's actually using our formation to cultivate?!" A disciple from Shayun Peak stared in disbelief, his voice trembling.

The scene before him completely overturned his understanding.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd, followed by a cacophony of voices.

Everyone was stunned by this unbelievable reversal. Who would have thought that Shen Yu not only resolved the deadly situation but also turned the tables, using the protective array of Sha Yun Peak as his own cultivation resources?

Wu Xuntian's face turned ashen, his heart filled with shock, anger, and an indescribable fear.

He frantically waved the battle flag in his hand, trying to unleash even more malevolent energy.

However, no matter how many he attracted, once they got close to Shen Yu, they were like mud oxen entering the sea, quickly swallowed up by that strange purple light.

The massive, ominous cloud was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Choi Yoo-shin stared wide-eyed at the figure standing proudly amidst the malevolent lightning, trembling with excitement. His initial fear had been replaced by overwhelming joy.

As Shen Yu felt the power within his body growing stronger, he looked up at the shimmering, dark cloud that had clearly shrunk, and at Wu Xuntian, whose face was extremely pale. A smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems your formation is nothing special after all."

"This is impossible! What kind of evil magic is this?!"

Wu Xuntian screamed, his voice distorted.

"How can a frog at the bottom of a well know the vastness of the world?"

Shen Yu sneered. Although forcibly absorbing a huge amount of Yin energy had destroyed his meridians, he felt extremely happy.

With the help of the Shayun Peak formation, he pushed the Purple Sha Forging Yuan Technique to its peak in one fell swoop, saving him the trouble of grinding for several years, or even more than ten years, in the future.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu took a step forward.

Before everyone's eyes, Shen Yu's figure had already covered a distance of dozens of feet and appeared in front of Wu Xuntian in an instant.

"you..."

Wu Xuntian's pupils contracted sharply. Just as he was about to make a move, a pair of slender hands shot out like lightning, instantly grabbing his throat and lifting him up.

The Primordial Profound Qi surged into Wu Xuntian's arm, tightly imprisoning his spiritual energy. Despite his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he couldn't muster the slightest resistance in the face of this even more powerful force.

All of this happened too fast, too suddenly.

Wu Xuntian's expression shifted from arrogant and ruthless to astonished, and finally to utter fear.

"Senior Brother Shen...please spare me! Everything I did was not my own will; I was merely following orders!"

The intense feeling of suffocation completely broke him down, and he frantically begged for mercy.

"Acting under orders? Senior Brother Wu's arrogant demeanor just now didn't seem fake!" Shen Yu's eyes were icy cold, and he didn't waver in the slightest.

He manipulated his true qi, drilling into Wu Xuntian's body and rushing towards several key acupoints.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream ripped through the sky, and Wu Xuntian's face turned deathly pale. His body convulsed violently, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

"stop!"

"Shen Yu, how dare you!"

The disciples of Sha Yun Peak who were standing nearby finally reacted, both shocked and furious. They immediately surrounded Shen Yu, shouting, "Shen Yu, do you really intend to fight Sha Yun Peak to the death?!"

"If you dare to cripple Senior Brother Wu, when Senior Brother Huang returns, he will surely hold you accountable. At that time, there will be no place for you in the entire Lu Jing Sect!"

"Release Senior Brother Wu immediately, and we can pretend today's events never happened and let it go!"

Shen Yu didn't care at all. He calmly swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "Today, I, Shen Yu, am determined to cripple Wu Xuntian. If any of you are not convinced, you are welcome to step forward and try."

Upon hearing this, several cultivators from Shayun Peak were enraged, but none of them dared to make a move.

Shen Yu sneered, and the Primordial Profound Truth instantly condensed, ready to crush Wu Xuntian's dantian.

However, at this critical moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

Shen Yu felt a sudden heaviness around him, as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, and his legs almost gave way, causing him to kneel on the ground.

He hurriedly circulated his true qi, only to find that the Primordial Mysterious Truth was almost locked up and could no longer be freely controlled.

At the same time, the scene before him suddenly changed. The scenery of Shayun Peak and the crowds of onlookers vanished in an instant, replaced by an extremely desolate and dilapidated space.

The sky was a perpetually dusky yellow, the earth was parched and cracked, covered with deep fissures, and there was no sign of any vegetation or life, only howling yellow winds and scattered, grotesque skeletons.

"This is... a phenomenon of the Dao Seed?!"

Shen Yu's heart sank suddenly.

This feeling was quite similar to when I fought Wang Xuanxiu, but its power was more than ten times stronger.

Moreover, this strange space is more real, more complete, and contains even more terrifying Daoist principles.

"Could it be that a Foundation Establishment stage elder personally intervened?!"

A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped my entire body.

Shen Yu acted decisively, no longer caring about Wu Xuntian in his hands, and suddenly threw him away.

Then, he drew all the vital energy he could muster back into his body, firmly protecting his vital points, and began to look around vigilantly.

Not only Shen Yu, but all the disciples watching also felt this soul-chilling pressure and saw the desolate phenomenon that suddenly appeared.

The cultivators who had been discussing the matter earlier were now all looking horrified.

"It's Elder Wu! It's Elder Wu from the Elder Hall; he's the instructor of the disciples of the Sha Yun Peak lineage!"

One of the disciples cried out in alarm, his voice trembling.

These words immediately caused a stir among the crowd, with many disciples instinctively stepping back, afraid of being drawn into the fray.

"It's over, it's over. This Junior Brother Shen has such amazing talent, but unfortunately he's too stubborn. He's probably going to fall into Elder Wu's hands today."

The outspoken and lewd cultivator also composed himself, shaking his head and sighing, his words revealing regret.

"You brat, how dare you!"

A sharp shout rang in Shen Yu's ears, causing his spiritual energy to surge violently and his blood to rush back, resulting in him spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately, in the center of that desolate land, a blurry figure materialized and slowly appeared.

The newcomer was an old man dressed in a dark purple Taoist robe. His face was withered, his figure was thin and tall, and his eyes were like bottomless pools.

He stood there, becoming one with this desolate and lifeless space, and became the master of this world.

He was none other than Wu Suqing, one of the six elders of the Lu Jing Sect's Elder Hall, the leader of the Sha Yun Peak lineage, a mid-to-high-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, and a Foundation Establishment Level 3 cultivator!

Shen Yu suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, took two steps forward, and solemnly performed a disciple's salute, "Junior Shen Yu greets Elder Wu."

Wu Suqing snorted coldly, "Was it you who injured my Sha Yun Peak disciple?"

"It is indeed I, the junior."

Shen Yu raised his head, his gaze calm as he met Wu Xuqing's eyes, his voice steady and powerful.

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Cui Youxin became anxious and knelt down with a thud. "Elder Wu, please understand! This matter was caused by Wu Xuntian and others bullying me without cause. Senior Brother Shen was only seeking justice for me and did not intend to offend Shayun Peak..."

"Are you talking to me?"

Wu Suqing glanced at him and asked in confusion.
