I forge immortality with a pagoda.

As more and more cultivators gathered around Shayun Peak, they hovered densely in mid-air, all with expressions of watching a good show.

These cultivators all knew that Huang Daocheng was arrogant and domineering. Now that someone dared to come and provoke them, they were all curious and wanted to see who this audacious person was.

Wu Xuntian's face was ashen, and the array flag in his hand trembled slightly, but he did not drop it for a long time.

A thin, weasel-faced disciple beside him couldn't contain himself any longer and said urgently, "Senior Brother Wu, why waste words with him! Just give the order, and we brothers will do our utmost to help you activate the formation and teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several disciples of Shayun Peak behind him echoed in unison, their momentum fierce.

Wu Xuntian heard this, but made no move. He just stared intently at Shen Yu, his eyes filled with not only killing intent but also a hint of fear.

He swallowed hard and whispered to the people behind him, "This brat is arrogant and domineering. His challenge is a slap in our face, and even more so a slap in the face to Senior Brother Huang. I wish I could tear him to pieces."

Fang Bo asked in confusion, "Then why hasn't Senior Brother made a move yet?"

Wu Xuntian pondered for a moment, "Just now, when I was about to activate the formation, a strange warning suddenly rose in my mind, as if I would die on the spot as soon as I made a move."

Fang Bo scoffed, "Senior Brother Wu, are you really fooled by this kid? Shen Yu is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, not even having broken through to the late stage. Do you think he can withstand this Spirit Binding Array? Don't hesitate any longer!"

As he spoke, Fang Bo was already impatient. He formed hand seals and his true qi surged throughout his body, ready to forcefully activate the great formation.

As more and more cultivators gathered around, pointing and whispering amongst themselves, Wu Xuntian's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

His every move not only represented the face of the cultivators of Shayun Peak, but also concerned Huang Daocheng's reputation.

If we back down today, we will not only become a laughing stock of the entire Lujing Sect, but we will also face severe punishment when Senior Brother Huang returns from seclusion.

But the sudden feeling of palpitation he had just experienced lingered in his mind like a dark cloud, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

"Never mind!" Wu Xuntian gritted his teeth.

He swung the black array flag in his hand sharply and shouted, "The Nine Netherworlds open, all evil spirits return to their origin!"

In an instant, the entire Shayun Peak trembled violently, as if a sleeping ferocious beast had suddenly awakened.

At various points on the mountain peak, seventy-two array bases simultaneously lit up with a dim light, and countless jet-black malevolent energies surged from the depths of the earth's veins, intertwining and swirling in mid-air, instantly condensing into a massive malevolent cloud that blotted out the sky.

The ominous clouds churned endlessly, within which countless hideous ghost faces appeared and disappeared, their mournful howls never ceasing.

Dark red lightning streaked through the clouds, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.

"It's over. With this formation, even if Shen Yu has great abilities, he will definitely not be able to escape."

Among the onlookers, some of the cultivators whispered among themselves.

"Yes, he's just a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. He actually dares to come to Shayun Peak alone to demand an explanation. He's really got guts."

From the crowd, a lewd-looking cultivator suddenly chuckled, "Back in the day, this Wu fellow forced me to drink a bowl of shit soup, and I didn't dare utter a single fart. Tsk tsk, this Shen Yu is quite a ruthless character, what a pity..."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people immediately scattered, keeping as far away as possible, and no one dared to approach this person again.

The cultivator shook his head, completely unconcerned, and turned his gaze back to the people fighting in the arena.

Cui Youxin was already recovering from his injuries, and under the terrifying pressure of this array, his legs went weak and his whole body trembled like a leaf.

He secretly glanced at Shen Yu beside him, only to see that although the other party had a solemn expression, there was no fear in his eyes, but rather a fierce fighting spirit.

This gave him a sense of relief, and he forced himself to take a step forward and stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Yu.

"Mysterious Yin Thunder, fall!" Wu Xuntian grinned and vigorously waved the array flag.

Boom!

The ominous clouds surged violently, and dozens of dark red lightning bolts, each as thick as a bowl, swooped down.

"My lord, be careful!" Cui Youxin cried out in horror. "This boy doesn't intend to capture us; he intends to kill us!"

Shen Yu's eyes narrowed, and he dared not be careless.

He quickly formed a hand seal, and the crimson-gold fire seed within his body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, as pure Blazing Sun True Fire surged forth.

Shen Yu opened his mouth and spat out a thick pillar of fire that shot into the sky, swirling with scorching winds, blocking the evil energy and yin lightning.

All those present heard was a deafening roar.

A huge ball of light exploded in the arena, and terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions. Several cultivators were knocked to the ground, and many disciples with lower cultivation levels were shaken so badly that their blood and qi surged.

"It was blocked! It really was blocked! Could it be a superior Taoist technique?"

The cultivators who had been there earlier stared wide-eyed, their eyes wide with disbelief.

However, the ominous cloud was formed by the ominous energy of the entire mountain's veins, and it was inexhaustible.

Although Shen Yu's Fierce Nether Wind Summoning Technique was powerful, he was ultimately powerless to fight against the great formation alone.

After burning away more than ten streams of malevolent lightning, the pillar of fire's light dimmed noticeably, showing signs of weakening.

"Hahaha! Shen Yu, let's see how long you can hold out!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Xuntian felt greatly relieved and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

He waved the array flag again, and even more malevolent energy and yin lightning condensed in the evil clouds, bombarding Shen Yu from all directions!

Shen Yu groaned as he was struck by several bolts of dark lightning, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.

The Fierce Nether Wind Summoning Technique is extremely yang and strong. Although it can suppress yin energy, it is ultimately difficult to sustain against the continuous power of this great formation.

At the critical moment, Shen Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The firepower around him instantly subsided, replaced by a layer of purple aura.

Faced with this pure Yin energy, Shen Yu no longer resisted. Instead, he activated the Purple Fiend Forging Yuan Technique and actively guided the incoming Yin energy and lightning into his body.

"What is he doing? Is he looking for death?!"

Fang Bo was stunned, not understanding why.

However, what happened next left everyone speechless.

The fierce aura, upon contact with the purple light surrounding Shen Yu, did not injure him as before. Instead, it was rapidly decomposed by the purple light and then absorbed into his body bit by bit.

Shen Yu's body trembled slightly, and he was in great pain.

Although the power of the lightning was largely neutralized by the purple energy, it was still unbearable and wreaked havoc within his body.

However, he clearly felt that the Yin Qi, after being initially refined by the Purple Fiend Forging Yuan Technique, was still violent, but it was slowly strengthening his body.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Wu Xuntian's smile froze. He was not a fool and naturally saw that Shen Yu had benefited from the Fiery Thunder Body.

He had been in charge of this mountain-protecting formation for many years and had never seen anyone directly absorb the power of the Xuan Sha Yin Lei. This was simply unheard of.

Having tasted success, Shen Yu was even less hesitant.

He simply abandoned defense altogether and pushed the Purple Fiend Forging Yuan Technique to its limit.

Its body shone with a brilliant purple light, as if it had transformed into a bottomless abyss, actively welcoming the continuous fall of malevolent energy and yin lightning.
