This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Because of the protruding rock, the speed of the descent slowed down significantly.

Moreover, Li Daoxuan's body changed from being suspended in mid-air to being close to the cliff face.

"I'll give it my all..."

With a roar, Li Daoxuan filled his hands with true energy and then fiercely grabbed the cliff wall.

Transform your five fingers into hook-like tools and shape them as you move downwards.

"ah..."

The vital energy was being rapidly depleted, and the flesh and blood were being rubbed raw.

The physique of a fourth-level martial artist is ultimately still within the realm of mortal flesh and blood, and cannot truly be as solid as metal.

Before even reaching the bottom of the cliff, his hands were already a bloody mess.

Even though he was in excruciating pain, Li Daoxuan did not give up. He kept stepping on the ground to slow down his descent.

Finally, the bottom of the cliff was in sight.

Li Daoxuan's internal energy was also exhausted at this moment.

His grip loosened, and he fell straight down.

A height of about ten feet is nothing to a physique at the fourth level of heaven.

The spiritual herbs and fruits in the bamboo basket behind him were scattered all over the ground, and his hands were bloody and mangled, with bones even visible.

Fortunately, he survived.

Li Daoxuan shook his arm and immediately controlled the muscle closure to stop the bleeding.

He looked up at the top of the cliff, and the faint light he had just seen made his heart sink slightly.

The vine breaking was no accident.

Could there be someone up there?

Li Daoxuan's vigilance increased significantly.

I glanced at the sky; it was still early.

Only a wisp of true energy remained in his body.

With this in mind, Li Daoxuan immediately picked up a Purple Qi Thunder Fruit from the ground and ate it without hesitation.

He then sat cross-legged and began to circulate his internal energy to refine it.

I don't seek to fully refine the medicinal power, but only to recover my true energy as soon as possible to deal with the unknown danger.

About ten breaths later, the medicinal effects of the thunderberry began to take effect in the body.

Faint arcs of electricity coursed through Li Daoxuan's flesh and blood.

His hair stood on end.

What followed was unimaginable pain.

It felt like countless worms were burrowing into his muscles, bones, and internal organs, gnawing at his body bit by bit.

This kind of pain is simply unbearable for ordinary people.

According to the usage of Purple Qi Thunder Fruit, it is usually used in conjunction with other rare and precious herbs.

People like Li Daoxuan rarely eat directly.

However, this pain was nothing to Li Daoxuan.

Although his primordial spirit cultivation had disappeared, his temperament remained that of a pure yang immortal Taoist deity, so he naturally wouldn't take this pain to heart.

This also gave him enough energy to refine the medicinal power of the Purple Qi Thunder Fruit.

About an hour later, the internal energy in his body was finally fully restored and even increased to a certain extent.

Most importantly, the true energy now contains a trace of residual thunderous power, making it significantly more extraordinary than before.

After picking up the remaining thunderberries, Li Daoxuan determined the direction and immediately took off running.

At the same time, one's mind is constantly alert to one's surroundings.

Beware of the mastermind behind his fall off the cliff.

But Li Daoxuan overlooked one thing.

After falling off the cliff, his route back changed, and he had to take a long detour to get back to his original path.

When Li Daoxuan came to his senses, he found that the sky had already begun to darken.

"Oh no..."

Li Daoxuan was startled and immediately began to speed up.

The sun in the distance slowly dipped westward.

They soon reached the top of the hill.

Li Daoxuan dared not linger and urged his internal energy to begin running at high speed.

During this process, the medicinal power of the Thunderberry in his body is constantly being refined, and his physique begins to quietly transform.

But Li Daoxuan couldn't care less about any of that at the moment; he was genuinely interested in finding out exactly what this so-called undercurrent was.

However, this place is too far from the house protected by divine power. If any danger occurs, there will truly be no way to salvage the situation.

Time passed slowly, and Li Daoxuan moved with incredible speed.

Suddenly, a strong sense of oppression rose in my heart.

Looking back, I saw a dark horizontal line approaching at an extremely fast speed between heaven and earth.

Where the black line passed, even the sky suddenly turned dark.

It's like a curtain, rapidly covering the entire world.

Li Daoxuan exerted all his strength, his gaze falling upon the village. In the distance, the rooftops of some villagers' shrines were already glowing with a crimson light, a sign of resistance against the approaching undercurrent.

"quick..."

Li Daoxuan leaped continuously at an extremely fast speed.

But the black line behind him was moving even faster.

The moment he stepped into the village, darkness descended and engulfed him completely.

The moment darkness enveloped him, Li Daoxuan immediately felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire.

Countless shackles were pulling him along, as if to drag him into the depths of that dark current.

At the same time, some unseen monster seemed to be rapidly approaching from all directions in the darkness.

Li Daoxuan struggled forward, veins bulging on his forehead.

Only at this moment did he truly feel the terror of this so-called undercurrent.

Darkness is everywhere, and so are the forces within it that can devour humanity.

As for the monsters hiding in the darkness, they are part of the darkness themselves.

Rather than a single type of living being.

Or you could say that those monsters are actually the evil, bloodthirsty will that originated from the Dark Tide.

Where there is darkness, there are those bloodthirsty monsters.

Li Daoxuan would never sit idly by and wait for his death. His inner energy suddenly erupted, and with a roar, lightning flashed in an instant.

The purest and most powerful martial arts energy burst forth from the body, marking the first time in this world that humanity had used its own strength to resist the dark tide.

"Sizzle..."

A piercing hissing sound rang out, like a red-hot iron suddenly branding flesh and skin.

In an instant, Li Daoxuan felt a sense of relief wash over him.

The darkness around me actually receded instantly.

As if they had encountered their nemesis, they dared not approach any further.

Li Daoxuan was overjoyed.

"It really works; these evil entities are most afraid of pure yang energy..."

Li Daoxuan dared not delay and immediately took off running.

His body was constantly enveloped by a martial arts aura containing a hint of thunderous power.

Wherever they passed, the undercurrents receded, and they traveled smoothly without hindrance.

Just when Li Daoxuan thought he had found a way to resist the dark tide, the endless darkness around him pressed in again.

Upon contact with his martial arts true energy, it immediately triggered a violent reaction.

Li Daoxuan's heart sank, and he said in disbelief:

"This undercurrent actually possesses sentience; it's trying to deplete my true energy..."

If that's true, then it's really hard to believe.
