Dongfang Qingming's choice was different from everyone else's. He neither chose to go to the place where Li Fan disappeared, nor did he choose to return to Sixiang Mountain.

He chose a hole and crawled down into it. The hole was neither where Li Fan disappeared nor where there were any powerful or strange creatures.

The reason for choosing that location was that Dongfang Qingming sensed the fluctuations in the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Compared to returning to Sixiang Mountain alone, shattering the fortune of the Shang Dynasty would obviously have a greater effect.

If I succeed, the shackles that have suppressed my family for three thousand years will be gone.

Even without the four great ancestors, some elders from other families could still break through.

......

Deep in the sky, the purple night receded into the distance.

Purple divine light emanated from behind him.

He was surrounded by all sorts of magical artifacts.

Only then did he unleash his full power.

However, his thoughts were completely different from what they had been a quarter of an hour ago.

He had originally planned to capture Jun Buyu, but now it seems that this is simply unrealistic.

The Jun Buyu of today is no longer the same person he was three thousand years ago.

Although his realm is the same as it was three thousand years ago, he is still at the stage of perfect Dharmakaya.

However, the combat power it displayed completely broke through the constraints.

Jun Buyu is now equivalent to a martial artist who has entered the Cave Heaven Realm.

A martial artist's "Cave Heaven Realm" is about transforming their body into something like a blessed land.

Reaching this level is considered taking the first step in creating the world.

The transformation of a martial artist from mortal to immortal begins at this stage.

Although his cultivation level is not high enough to reach the Cave Heaven realm, his combat strength has reached this level. This talent is in no way inferior to Li Fan, who has mastered the supernatural power of creating an external avatar.

Unfortunately, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw; all I can do is beat Jun to death without saying a word.

Otherwise, there would be no way to take Li Fan away right under his nose.

"The magic arts of immortals borrow from the universe."

"By imperial decree of Ziyang, the mighty warriors shall descend!"

Zi Ye chanted an immortal incantation and pointed to the sky.

The next instant, the purple clouds behind him transformed into a great sun.

Under the bright sun, the magical artifacts surrounding him, like stars in the sky, began to transform.

When Jun Buyu rushed into the formation, all the magical artifacts transformed into giants hundreds of meters tall.

Each statue, standing in its designated spot, seems to conform to the principles of celestial numbers.

Jun Buyu threw a punch, and the giant in front of him raised his hand to meet it.

Before a giant, Jun Buyu is like an ant.

But the moment their fists collided, the giant's entire body trembled violently.

Despite this, its body was not destroyed.

During the stalemate, Jun Buyu threw a punch with his other hand.

The fist unleashed a golden beam of light, which slammed directly into the giant's face.

The giant's entire face twisted and spiraled like a whirlpool in water.

But within this twisting spiral, his face was rapidly repairing itself, and the fist shadow unleashed by Jun Buyu quickly dissipated.

Formation?

In an instant, Jun Buyu realized the problem.

Although the giant before them was merely a magical artifact, it could not be considered an independent entity at this moment.

It is both a part of the grand formation and the main body of the grand formation.

To destroy it, you must destroy the entire formation.

Having thought this through, Jun Buyu stopped pressing the matter.

Golden light burst forth, and Jun Buyu's figure vanished.

To have spotted the problem so quickly, you truly deserve to be called a martial artist capable of transcending realms.

Deep within the center of the grand formation, Zi Ye could sense every change in the formation through his magical artifact.

Even he couldn't tell which one was the real body.

But he didn't need to make a distinction. Although he was the core of the formation, he didn't need to stand there foolishly.

Zi Ye took a step and disappeared from the spot. The entire formation seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed as if nothing had happened.

......

"Who wants to eat me?"

In the blood-red world, just as the strange creature holding Li Fan landed, two figures appeared around him.

"Lantern Eyes, what are you doing bringing back a skeleton?"

The first thing to open was a mountain of flesh, or more accurately, a pile of severed limbs.

Within that open mouth, broken human bones intertwined to form teeth.

Some teeth still have remnants of fabric that has not yet weathered away.

"Skulls don't taste good at all; they're impossible to digest!"

The second eerie creature muttered to itself. It resembled a skinned whale, with black blood constantly seeping from its body. As if to prove its words, it opened its mouth and spat out a pool of black water. After the black water seeped into the ground, it left behind various kinds of bones.

"You idiot, who told you to eat me!"

The sound came from the ground, and as the sound rang out, the bones scattered on the ground came together.

The third strange creature looked extremely rough and couldn't be described in words.

"Have you all lost your minds? Take a good look, this is the mark left by the Lord."

He left this person with us so that we could keep an eye on him.

If there is even the slightest mishap, we may never have a chance to recover!

Lantern Eyes carefully unfolded its rotting palm, then used another finger to nudge Li Fan, revealing his body completely to the other three strange beings.

As soon as he finished speaking, they, who had been somewhat indifferent, all swarmed around him.

"My God, the Lord has actually made a move again!"

Such flawless immortal runes could only be carved by him!

"The mountain of flesh exclaimed in amazement."

"You two idiots, stop talking nonsense."

"Haven't you noticed that this little guy is almost dead?"

A churning sensation ran through the skinned whale's body, and a black hand reached out and placed it near Li Fan's nostrils: "It's over, he's not breathing!"

"Oh no! We're doomed!"

"We're doomed, we're doomed! What do we do?!"

After the skinned whale finished speaking, Lantern Eyes and Meat Mountain panicked, and their already abnormal mental states instantly went haywire.

"Shut up, you three idiots."

He's practically a skeleton; it would be a miracle if he were still breathing!

The most abstract-looking skeletal creature stepped forward, its eye sockets glowing with flickering black flames.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

"Skull, you're so clever."

"So what should we do next?"

Lantern Eyes, Mountain of Flesh, and Skinned Whale all looked at the skull.

After a moment of contemplation, the skeleton said, "There's no other way but to soak him in my bone-nourishing pool."

Whether he survives or not depends on his luck.

However, during this period, it is crucial to prevent anyone from breaching the area.

Otherwise, he really would die!

"Don't worry, Skeleton, with us here, no one can possibly breach your lair!"

The skinned whale patted its chest and guaranteed it.

Lantern Eyes and Flesh Mountain echoed.

I'm leaving now!

After saying that, the skeleton carried Li Fan and rushed into the depths of the blood-red earth.

At that moment, a torrent of thunderous power poured down from the sky.

"Zhang San, how dare you chase me here! I think you really don't want to live anymore!"

The lantern-shaped eyes stared at Zhang San, and the pieced-together face spoke at the same time.

"Zhang San is here? Very well, let's settle both old and new scores!"

The skinned whale opened its blood-red maw.

Without saying a word, the mountain of flesh charged straight at Zhang San.

Grass!

How come there are three of these weird things?

Even Zhang San felt somewhat helpless at this moment.

The first lantern-eyed being was already troublesome enough, and there were two other equally bizarre beings.

How can you fight three opponents at once?

Damn it!

Let's give it our all!

That was Lao Tzu's last disciple. Even if Lao Tzu's old bones of eighty-three pounds were to perish here, he would still take his disciple back.

Zhang San was furious, and the power of thunder within his body surged wildly.

Thick, thunderous dragons tore through the blood-red earth, hurtling towards the three eerie monsters.

The battle escalated rapidly from the very beginning.

Chen Kui and his group, who followed Zhang San down, immediately joined the battle without saying a word.

......

Deep within the blood-red earth, the scruffy skeleton burrowed underground.

The twisted underground passage leads to an unknown destination, with countless branching paths interspersed throughout.

Each branch road looks exactly the same, and it is impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye.

These passages were naturally made by a hastily made skeleton.

It will naturally not go astray to its destination.
