To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Surrounded by nearly a hundred insects of various shapes and sizes, Gu Fan's face remained ashen.

Chen Suzhen looked around and transmitted her voice to Gu Fan and Li Fengyi: "The Gu God Sect has always been treacherous and cunning. The Gu worms they raise contain hidden secrets. Be careful, you two."

Gu Fan nodded slightly.

When Gu Fan inquired about demonic cultivators from Xu Changsheng back then, he guessed that the other party came from the Gu God Sect. Later, Gu Fan discovered the existence of the Life Eater, which further confirmed this guess.

The Gu God Sect is one of the four major sects of the Wu Kingdom, along with the Blood Spirit Sect, the Yin Corpse Sect, and the Five Poisons Sect. It is known for its expertise in cultivating various strange Gu insects.

The next instant, the emerald mantis let out a sharp screech and flapped its wings, rushing towards Gu Fan first.

This sounded like a bugle call, and all the insects began to move.

Maggots as thick as buckets sprayed dark green acid that corroded the ground, leaving it pitted and uneven. After curling up, they suddenly leaped up and crashed down on Chen Suzhen.

A wasp the size of a calf, with a stark white stinger and six translucent wings, flapped rapidly, transforming into a blur as it pierced towards Li Fengyi.

A purple butterfly flapped its wings and scattered a cloud of poison, enveloping the three of them.

The emerald green mantis had blood-red eyes and two incredibly sharp, serrated sickles.

Gu Fan raised his hand and cast two Heavenly Thunder Talismans.

The green mantis collided head-on with the lightning snake, its charging momentum immediately slowed down, and it fell into a state of paralysis.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Fan transformed into a blur and brushed past the green mantis. The Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword swept across the mantis's body, leaving a trail of light.

The next instant, the mantis's head flew up, the severed end charred black, and a few wisps of white smoke rose.

Just then, the first-tier Gu worms around them also pounced on them.

With a swing of the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword, a three-zhang-long fire domain exploded around Gu Fan. As soon as the Heavenly Fire Bath Robe was unfurled, several insects pounced on it, crashing into pieces amidst the flames.

The purple blood burst into a cloud of mist, sizzling as it fell to the ground.

"Be careful, the blood of these worms is also poisonous!"

Gu Fan's gaze sharpened as he warned Chen Suzhen and Li Fengyi.

Faced with the swarm of insects, Chen Suzhen remained calm and threw out the black seal, which landed on the maggots.

The maggot trembled violently, burst open at the point where the seal had fallen, and broke in two, spewing out acid.

Chen Suzhen frowned, waved her hand to summon a water barrier to block the acid, and then quickly recalled the black seal.

The black seal was stained with acid, and its spiritual light was slowly dissolving.

To his surprise, the two maggots were still alive and were wriggling as they shot toward Chen Suzhen. More than a dozen first-level insects also took the opportunity to get closer.

Seeing that she was surrounded by swarms of insects, Chen Suzhen formed the Treasure Bottle Mudra with both hands.

The next instant, a torrent of water vapor emanated from the handprint, instantly condensing into a rain cloud in the cave, from which countless fine raindrops fell.

Chen Suzhen transformed the treasure bottle seal into a sword finger and swung it at the swarm of insects. In an instant, the raindrops turned into sharp arrows, piercing countless insects and emitting shrill cries.

On the other side, Li Fengyi stepped forward with a powerful stride, shifting her body a full 10 feet in one step to dodge the wasp's stinger, and at the same time twisted her body to stab back!

A surprise attack!

The spear tip flashed with a burst of flame, striking the wasp's swollen abdomen with pinpoint accuracy.

It was like a water bag bursting open, with large clumps of internal organs spilling out.

The gunshots appeared and disappeared, sometimes slashing, sometimes thrusting, sometimes chopping, sometimes smashing, and soon the surrounding area was littered with the corpses of insects.

The gourd grew to a full ten feet in size, opened its mouth and sprayed out several fireballs, which chased and bombarded the purple butterfly.

The purple butterfly wasn't very fast, and before it could dodge, a fireball blasted its wing, causing it to fall from mid-air.

Before it even landed, several more fireballs struck, instantly blasting it to pieces.

The gourd smiled at its masterpiece, then quickly ran a few steps, spitting out fireballs that scattered the swarm of insects attacking Gu Fan like a bomb.

"Good gourd!" Gu Fan praised, put away the Heavenly Fire Bath Robe, and rushed towards Li Mohan in a flash.

He hadn't forgotten Chang Yuan's reminder; interrupting Li Mohan's absorption of the black sphere was the most important thing.

Thanks to the delaying swarm of insects, only a small portion of the black sphere remained, with the majority having already burrowed into Li Mohan's body.

Gu Fan raised an eyebrow, raised the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword high, poured his immense magical power into it, and unleashed a fierce Blazing Slash.

Li Mohan's expression changed drastically as he sensed the power of the Blazing Flame Slash.

Even he dared not directly withstand the Blazing Flame Slash, which was compressed to its extreme by the Samadhi True Fire, and quickly summoned a gray-black shield to block it in front of him.

The Blazing Flame Slash exploded with a deafening roar, its flames engulfing an area of ​​three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and sending shockwaves in all directions.

The bronze coffin was immediately overturned, and the white bones lying inside were scattered all over the ground.

Li Mohan cursed inwardly as he looked at the gray-black shield, whose spiritual light had greatly diminished.

"Damn the Lu family! My grand plan was almost complete! If I had digested the Chaos Primordial Embryo, these people would have been no match for me!"

During the absorption of the Chaos Primordial Embryo, he could only use one-tenth of his magic power, and Gu Fan was relentlessly pursuing him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Missing his first attack, Gu Fan flicked his sleeve and threw out a stack of spirit talismans. Under the bombardment of more than ten bolts of heavenly lightning, the gray-black shield could no longer hold on and shattered into pieces.

The remaining talismans transformed into fireballs and lightning snakes, sealing off Li Mohan's surroundings.

That wasn't all. A brown talisman was unleashed, and a phantom mountain appeared above Li Mohan's head, crashing down with immense force.

Second-tier spirit talisman, Mountain Suppressing Talisman!

Li Mohan's face turned ashen. He flipped his hand and took out a purple jade flute, which he then placed to his lips and began to play.

The crisp sound waves, like ocean tides, spread outwards from Li Mohan, extinguishing the fireballs and lightning snakes, and then crashed into the illusory mountain peak. After a brief stalemate, cracks appeared on the illusory mountain peak, and it finally shattered into countless fireflies.

As the sound waves crashed down, Gu Fan was the first to be hit.

He felt as if he had sunk into a quagmire, and a hazy mist rose in his mind.

Upon hearing the flute music, Chen Suzhen and Li Fengyi's movements slowed down. Fortunately, both were resolute individuals and were still able to dodge and maneuver, repelling the remaining Gu worms.

The gourd's reaction was much worse; it swayed unsteadily, howling in pain as several Gu worms bit it, and frantically thrashed about.

"A mental attack?"

Gu Fan's gaze sharpened, and in an instant, thirty-two stars appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The star chart slowly rotated, and an intense pain spread throughout his body. The thirty-two stars shone brightly, dispelling the mist in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The next instant, the Returning Origin Furnace was raised high in his hand, transforming into a flame that smashed towards Li Mohan's chest.

Li Mohan hadn't expected Gu Fan to wake up so quickly. Unable to dodge in time, he had no choice but to summon his jade flute and hold it horizontally in front of him.

A snap.

The purple jade flute broke in two.

The jade flute is not a defensive magic weapon; it can only block the Returning Origin Furnace for a moment.

With the Guiyuan Furnace still raging, Li Mohan's eyes widened, and he seized the moment to turn his body and use his back to withstand the attack from the Guiyuan Furnace!

They would rather withstand the impact with their own bodies than be smashed into that black sphere by the Returning Origin Furnace!

The Returning Origin Furnace struck like a heavy hammer, and Li Mohan coughed up a mouthful of blood, flying through the air.

If it weren't for the watery light emanating from his blue robes that blocked some of the damage, this attack would have been enough to kill him!

Even so, Li Mohan was seriously injured. Several of his bones were broken, his back was charred black from the flames, and even his hair was on fire. He lay on the ground in a sorry state, without any trace of the dignity of a cultivator.

As the flute music stopped, Chen Suzhen and Li Fengyi felt much less pressure and quickly killed the remaining Gu worms.

Gu Fan summoned the Returning Yuan Furnace and fired it again, when he suddenly heard Li Mohan chuckle softly.

The laughter was low and hoarse, yet indescribably chilling.

The next instant, a layer of pitch-black light enveloped Li Mohan, and the Guiyuan Furnace crashed into the light barrier with a bang and was bounced away.

Li Mohan slowly stood up, and the light barrier shattered.

His eyes were bloodshot and veins were bulging, and countless black lines spread across his entire body.

Gu Fan's breath hitched, and his gaze fell on Li Mohan's chest, where the dark sphere had completely disappeared!

What was even more shocking was that Li Mohan's aura surged, and a powerful magical pressure spread out, as if thousands of insects were scattering, a stark contrast to when everyone first stepped into the cave.

Gu Fan even felt that the person standing in front of him was not a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a Golden Core cultivator!

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the cave.

Two figures stepped through the bronze gate; they were Liu Daoyuan and Liu Daosheng.

The two men scanned the surroundings and were speechless with astonishment when they saw the insect corpses scattered everywhere. When they saw Li Mohan, they felt a flash of light shoot up their spines.

Gu Lu swallowed hard; both of them had only one thought in their minds.

You've come at the wrong time!

Unexpectedly, Li Mohan also looked over at the two of them, revealing a wicked smile, and chuckled, "Perfect timing, I'll send you on your way together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mohan unleashed a palm strike, sending a dark palm print toward Gu Fan.

Gu Fan quickly extended his left hand, and the white jade ring flashed with spiritual light, creating a light barrier in front of him.

The palm print slammed into the light screen and exploded, sending Gu Fan flying as he crashed into the Liu brothers.

The two quickly reached out to catch Gu Fan, their bodies being pulled back a few steps by the force.

Gu Fan steadied himself and his left hand trembled slightly. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the white jade ring.

This superior defensive magic weapon was nearly destroyed after only blocking one attack!

After knocking Gu Fan away with a single palm strike, Li Mohan continued his attack.

He leaped into the air and swung his hand at Chen Suzhen, delivering another palm strike.

Chen Suzhen's expression changed drastically. She threw out a drop of Chongxuan Divine Water to meet the giant palm, and then, taking advantage of the moment when the Chongxuan Divine Water and the giant palm were locked in a stalemate, her figure suddenly sank into the pool of water beneath her feet and disappeared.

The giant palm shattered the Divine Water of Profound Mystery, smashing it into the pool and splashing up a cloud of mud and water.

Chen Suzhen emerged from a pool of water in the distance, her face somewhat pale.

Li Mohan frowned, surprised that both attacks had failed. He sneered, "Let's see how long you can hide!"

After saying that, he raised his hand again.

Just then, Gu Fan simultaneously threw out a handful of talismans, and more than ten bolts of lightning flashed wildly, surrounding Li Mohan.

Gu Fan shouted loudly, "Everyone, attack together!"

Gu Fan shouted loudly, "Everyone, attack together!"

After saying that, the Guiyuan Furnace suddenly burst forth.

Everyone looked grave, knowing that it was time to fight to the death.

Although they didn't know what strange thing had happened to Li Mohan, the die was cast, and the only way to kill him was to join forces.

Chen Suzhen stomped her foot, and the surrounding water floated up, gathering above her head to form a giant blue whale.

Li Fengyi swept his spear, and a layer of bloody light ignited around him.

Liu Daoyuan was even more decisive, reaching out to take out a pale yellow talisman and infusing it with his magical power.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Li Mohan shattered the lightning with a single punch and looked down at the crowd with a disdainful expression.
