Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

"Fellow Daoist Fen, quickly lend a hand to me!"

Before the escape light even got close, the old monster Li Huo's voice transmission had already arrived.

The red light stopped abruptly on the volcano, where a thin old man in a red robe was breathing heavily.

"Fellow Daoist Li Huo, do not panic! We are ready and await Wen Tianren's approach!"

Burning Tiger comforted him via telepathy.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Li Huo, how did you end up back here?"

"Do you intend to use the formation of Li Huo Island against me?"

A purple figure hovered outside Li Huo Island. The young cultivator, with a wicked and arrogant expression, laughed wildly.

"Haha, you're far too naive."

"While I'm in a good mood now, you'd better surrender quickly, or I'll slaughter your entire Li Huo Island!"

Wen Tianren held a purple cloud banner and pointed it at the Old Monster of Li Huo.

"Ha, you little brat, what are you if not for your status as a Six Paths Supreme Saint?"

"My Li Huo Island is protected by both the Star Palace and the Myriad Laws Sect. If you are not afraid of angering the Star Palace's two saints and Wan Sangu, you may simply destroy my Li Huo Island."

While making sarcastic remarks, the Old Monster Li Huo formed hand seals to activate the Li Huo Island formation.

"The two Saints of the Star Palace have not appeared for many years, and Aunt Wan has also not shown her face for a long time."

"Would they really come out of retirement for your little island of Lihuo?"

"Stop making Wen laugh!"

"I'll count to three. If you still don't surrender, Lihuo Island will be destroyed today!"

Wen Tianren accepted the Purple Cloud Banner with a smile on his face.

"one!"

"Fellow Daoist Fen, act quickly!"

As soon as Wen Tianren finished speaking, the Old Monster Li Huo urged Fen Tianhu to make a move.

"two!"

"Hurry, Fellow Daoist Fen!"

The old monster Li Huo grew increasingly anxious.

"three!"

"Fellow Daoist Fen..."

The old monster Li Huo shouted hoarsely.

"Move! Form the formation!"

Seeing that the time was right, Burning Tiger immediately gave the order to dispel his concealment, and leaped out of the clouds, transforming into a ball of flame that rushed straight towards Wen Tianren.

Zhang Feng, Jin Li, and Yang Pan flashed into three streaks of light and followed closely behind.

"Die, you demonic path!"

Two long, fiery crane beaks, each holding an orange-yellow flame, attacked Wen Tianren in an instant.

"Oh, so you had helpers!"

Faced with the sneak attack, Wen Tianren remained calm and showed no panic. The purple cloud banner reappeared in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, a series of ghostly wails and howls rang out, and a thick purple mist surged forth along with the cloud banner, instantly transforming into a several-zhang-long blackish-purple mist that enveloped Wen Tianren.

Two flamingos crashed straight into the thick fog, and with a clattering sound, the flames were suddenly extinguished.

"Ha, the art of manipulating fire and playing with cranes, it is you, the Burning Tiger of the Myriad Laws Sect."

Wen Tianren hid in the thick fog, his voice carrying across the battlefield.

Swish swish!

While he was manipulating the Purple Cloud Banner, Zhang Feng and the other two had already taken their positions and, together with the Burning Sky Tiger, surrounded the dense purple mist in the center.

"rise!"

With a loud shout, Fen Tianhu held a dark blue array flag in his hand.

Zhang Feng and his two companions obeyed the order and also held their battle flags.

The four array flags echoed each other, and the four people spared no effort in activating them.

Four light blue, arc-shaped barriers suddenly rose from the array flags and merged in an instant.

A light blue spherical spiritual energy barrier enveloped Wen Tianren.

"fall!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the four members of the Burning Sky Tiger formation descended directly.

Boom!

The battle flags disappeared into the underwater rocks, and the endless seawater surged up, linking the formation with the water's momentum.

Four phantom images of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the formation, continuously rotating and compressing around the sphere.

"Ren Water Four Symbols Formation! The formation of Master Shi from Red Moon Island."

"Hahaha, you guys have really got a good plan!"

Wen Tianren, trapped in the formation, showed no panic whatsoever.

"Young Master!"

Several shouts came, and a black light, about two zhang long, suddenly appeared. Eight figures stepped out from it, all of them at the early or middle stage of Core Formation.

Wen Tianren's guards have arrived.

"The four of us have trapped this fiend. Fellow Daoists, quickly go and kill his guards!"

The Burning Tiger roared loudly.

The clouds above Lihuo Island suddenly parted, and a spirit ship shot out like a rainbow.

"Haha, alright, I'll lend you a hand."

The Old Monster of Li Huo laughed loudly and activated the formation of Li Huo Island.

Several pillars of fire erupted from Li Huo Island, eventually converging into a massive fireball tens of feet in diameter beside the Li Huo Old Monster.

"Haha, try some of the specialties from my Lihuo Island!"

"go!"

The fireball, engulfed in intense flames, suddenly transformed into a gigantic crimson fire spirit, tens of feet wide, its wings spread, and it charged toward the guards with a cry.

"Form ranks quickly!"

These eight guards were also well-trained and quickly formed a magic array to protect each other.

Three black spiritual energy shields suddenly rose up.

The attacks from the eight Core Formation cultivators on the spirit ship fell together with the Crimson Firebird.

Rumble!

A violent explosion of spiritual energy rang out, and the three shields were shattered instantly. The eight guards scattered like birds and beasts.

With a single strike, at least three guards were seriously injured; the protective formation was no match for the Crimson Sparrow Fire Spirit released by the Li Huo Island's protective formation.

"Despicable righteous cultivators!"

Wen Tianren felt a surge of anger as he watched his guards being attacked.

A gilded needle floated beside him. With a slight movement of his fingers, Wen Tianren caused the needle to instantly split into countless golden spiritual energy needle shadows.

Whoosh!

A barrage of golden needles bombarded the array walls.

Zhang Feng and his companions dared not slacken their efforts, and they activated the array flags with all their might, continuously injecting their own spiritual power into them.

"Ha, trying to outlast me!"

Wen Tianren raised his palm, clenched his fist, and the speed of the gilded needle attack increased even more, the golden spiritual energy needle shadows almost filling the space inside the formation.

The four illusory figures of spiritual energy swayed precariously, looking as if they were about to collapse.

"Everyone, stop holding back and unleash your full power!"

Seeing that Wen Tianren was about to break through the formation maintained by the four of them, Fen Tianhu was extremely anxious.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng and the others dared not hold back any longer and activated the formation with all their might.

Zhang Feng was quite shocked. He didn't know until he fought Wen Tianren that his spiritual power was truly profound.

Two late-stage Core Formation cultivators and two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, along with the four of them, set up the Ren Water Four Symbols Formation to wear them down, but they could only barely hold on.

Wen Tianren had not yet used his trump card, the Six Extremes True Demon Art and the Eight Gates Golden Light Mirror.

The four cultivators on their side were already exhausted from dealing with the situation.

Zhang Feng glanced at Jin Li, his mind starting to waver, and he secretly clenched the spirit stone in his palm to recover his spiritual power.

Bang!

A loud explosion of spiritual energy rang out. Zhang Feng scanned the area with his divine sense and saw that one of Wen Tianren's guards had self-destructed in the midst of the cultivators to mitigate the damage.

Immediately, the Core Formation cultivators who were besieging the guards scattered.

No one wants to be affected or harmed by a self-destruction.

The Crimson Sparrow Fire Spirit was destroyed by its own explosion and scattered in mid-air.

"Everyone, quickly unleash your full power! We can't hold this beast for much longer!"

Burning Tiger transmitted his voice to his teammates in the sky.

"Brother Fen, hold on a little longer. I am seriously injured and cannot continuously control the Crimson Sparrow Fire Spirit."

"Old Monster Li Huo transmitted his voice."

Zhang Feng frowned slightly, his divine sense swept over the old monster Li Huo, his aura was no longer disordered, and spiritual light flowed around his body, he did not look like he was seriously injured.

"Old monster Li Huo, stop holding back! My Ten Thousand Laws Sect has no intention of coveting your Li Huo Island!"

"Hurry up and go all out, or we'll both be in trouble once Wen Tianren is free!"

Burning Tiger also noticed the strange behavior of Old Monster Li Huo and urged him on.

laugh!

A small flying sword suddenly pierced through the back of the Burning Tiger.
