Seeing Crab Taoist fleeing into the distance, the Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal did not give chase. Its enormous figure hovered outside the abyss, gazing at the billowing, rising baleful aura below, a hint of hesitation flickering in its eyes.

"How was your twenty-year long Spring and Autumn Dream? Haha... haha..." Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from the bottom of the abyss, its voice booming like a bell, rolling forth.

Han Li's words accurately struck the Gold Devouring Immortal's sore spot, causing anger to burn in its eyes, but its figure remained still.

"Want to eat this Immortal Maiden? Aren't you afraid of bursting? If you have the guts, come and try it, this Immortal Maiden is waiting for you here..." Following closely, Golden Boy's voice, like adding fuel to the fire, came from deep within the valley.

Upon hearing this, the Gold Devouring Immortal was indeed completely ignited with fury. Golden light constantly flickered around its body, serrated纹路 appeared on its edges, looking as if it were burning golden flames.

A layer of golden纹路 undulated around its body, and its body rapidly shrunk to less than a hundred zhang in size. As its figure shrank, the "golden flame" enveloping it became more solidified, looking like it was wrapped in a layer of fiery armor.

Immediately after, the Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal dove down, directly plunging into the abyss's dense baleful aura.

Under the protection of that fiery armor, the baleful aura of the abyss retreated, isolated several zhang away.

Despite this, the Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal's eyes were still full of disgust, clearly disliking this abyss's baleful aura very much.

Its descent was many times faster than when Han Li constantly broke through his limits, probing bit by bit.

Before long, it saw Han Li and Golden Boy standing at the bottom of the abyss.

The Gold Devouring Immortal's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in them. This human man and that small fellow of the same species had simultaneously improved their cultivation levels significantly in these short twenty years, which was quite illogical.

For some reason, with its Grand Luo late-stage cultivation realm, a hint of warning arose in its heart. It did not rashly continue to descend, but hovered above, its eyes darting around, examining the valley floor.

Upon this examination, it discovered that in some areas with dense baleful aura at the bottom of the valley, there were some things deliberately hidden. Faint fluctuations of spiritual power emanated from within, seemingly forming some kind of formation.

A mocking smile flashed in the Gold Devouring Immortal's eyes. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spat out a golden tornado, which swept madly towards the depths of the valley.

Wherever the hurricane passed, baleful aura and sand were stirred by the wind, which was laced with tiny shining crystals, scattering towards the sides of the mountain walls. Circular stone platforms and triangular black flags were immediately revealed on the ground.

These stone platforms and black flags were blown askew by the hurricane, falling away from their original positions, towards the abyss's stone walls. A great formation immediately lost its function.

"Is this your arrangement?" The Gold Devouring Immortal spoke in human language, asking.

Below the abyss, Han Li and Golden Boy remained silent, not saying a word.

Seeing no one respond, the Gold Devouring Immortal suddenly became somewhat self-deprecating. How could it worry about a mere Grand Luo initial-stage little imp and a human of only Golden Immortal peak-stage being able to use methods worthy of its apprehension?

"Little fellow, you and I are originally one. When you merge into my body, you will realize that these years of pursuit and fighting have been meaningless. Rather than that, why not surrender now?" The Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal said.

"Bah, according to that, why don't you obediently let me eat you and merge into my body? Isn't that the same as merging into one?" Golden Boy spat and retorted.

"Although you and I are one, our minds and realms are different. My realm is more than a level higher than yours. Swallowing you is naturally as easy as turning my hand, but if you want to swallow me, it won't be so easy. Besides, with your childish mind, you will eventually be swallowed by other complete bodies. Why not merge with me now? Perhaps I will choose to retain some of your memories... To be honest, seeing you enter the Grand Luo initial-stage, I actually felt a bit happy from the bottom of my heart," the Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal said slowly, no longer with the previous impatience and anger.

Han Li had not spoken all along, but when he heard this, he said, "In terms of temperament, Golden Boy's current state is better. If you want to devour her, you still have to ask me, her master, first."

"A mere Golden Immortal realm human dares to presumptuously call himself the master of my kind, you truly deserve to die!" The Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal was furious upon hearing this.

Its two front limbs crossed each other and suddenly waved. Two crescent-shaped crystal lights immediately sped past, heading straight for Han Li.

The crystal light seemed no different from Golden Boy's, but its speed was several times faster, arriving in front of Han Li almost in a flash.

Han Li only felt a stagnation of breath, and an invisible force rushed towards him.

Fortunately, he had prepared for this. Golden light shone brightly around his body, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel within his body reversed. With a blur of his figure, he flashed to the side with Golden Boy.

At the same time, he turned his wrist, and two rays of light, one black and one white, flew out, smashing towards the Gold Devouring Immortal.

The Gold Devouring Immortal had some impression of the white object. It was the white jade paperweight that Han Li had used once before. It had already been damaged after being repelled by it last time, but it didn't expect it to be used again this time.

Accompanied by a whistling wind, the paperweight with the head of a savage lion suddenly magnified, turning into a snow-white camel peak covered in cracks, pressing down on the Gold Devouring Immortal.

The black object was a long, rectangular inkstone, heading straight for the Gold Devouring Immortal's feet. As soon as it landed, it transformed into a black sea of fire, the scorching waves rushing towards the Gold Devouring Immortal.

These two treasures were both obtained from Feng Tiandu and were originally immortal artifacts with considerable power, but they seemed somewhat inadequate when facing the Gold Devouring Immortal.

The Gold Devouring Immortal lightly reprimanded, and one of its front limbs slashed upwards, sending a crystal light flying out, striking the snow-white camel peak.

With a loud "boom", the snow-white camel peak broke in the middle, its light scattered, turning into two pieces of paperweight fragments, falling to the ground.

Immediately after, the Gold Devouring Immortal opened its mouth and sucked fiercely. The sea of fire on the ground immediately condensed into a spiral of fiery waves, like a whale sucking water, and was sucked into its belly without leaving any residue.

Just at this moment, an abnormality suddenly occurred!

On the ground previously obscured by the black flames, white jade stone pillars engraved with various runes rose from the ground, gathering into a huge white stone formation, flashing with bright light, rushing towards the Gold Devouring Immortal.

At the same time, brilliant silver light lit up on both sides of the mountain walls. Four stone-carved runes, each a hundred zhang long, emerged from the walls, transforming into four huge light-shadow runes, covering the Gold Devouring Immortal.

These four runes were none other than the Four Symbols Formation, containing the "Azure Dragon Trapping Wood Rune," "White Tiger Refining Gold Rune," "Vermilion Bird Raising Fire Rune," and "Black Tortoise Rejecting Water Rune." Han Li had used the four talismans he had obtained from the Eight Treasures Heavy Box as the foundation, pouring a large amount of immortal spiritual power into carving them on the stone walls.

Accompanied by the sounds of roaring tigers and dragons, an azure dragon swooped down, a white tiger pounced down, a crimson flame giant bird flew towards it, and a heavily armored black tortoise charged forward, pressing down on the Gold Devouring Immortal with the power of four directions.

"Base ants, paltry tricks!" The Gold Devouring Immortal shouted angrily.

Countless thin, knife-like crystalline light blades flew out densely, almost instantly turning the formation below into a sieve riddled with holes.

The four strange beasts that were pressing down from above could not withstand the crystalline blades at all, and were scattered into thin spiritual energy in a few strokes, turning into four wisps of smoke and dissipating.

However, before it could rest for a moment, a huge shadow fell from the sky, transforming into a huge three-story pavilion, enveloping it.

The pavilion was magnificent, with golden walls and green tiles, and the sound of Sanskrit echoed around the beams. Waves of strange sound waves spread, making the Gold Devouring Immortal feel a little ethereal. In a trance, it seemed to have returned to the dream in which it was trapped, chasing and killing Golden Boy again and again.

"Roar..."

Only a roar-like hiss was heard from its mouth, and a huge sound wave burst open, instantly shattering all the Sanskrit sounds in the three-story pavilion. Even countless dense cracks immediately appeared on the pavilion.

Han Li watched this scene, and his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly. After twenty years of torture in the illusion, the Gold Devouring Immortal's divine sense seemed to have become stronger.

According to his original estimate, the three-story pavilion, which had been tempered in the emerald gourd for a period of time, should have been able to trap the Gold Devouring Immortal for about ten breaths, giving him some time to use the Mantra Treasure Wheel, but in reality, it could not even last for three breaths.

With a loud "bang", the three-story pavilion shattered in response, turning into countless fragments and collapsing.

At the same time, Han Li shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoist Mo Guang, if you don't make a move now, when will you?"

As soon as his voice fell, a black figure, wrapped in billowing baleful aura, suddenly flashed behind the Gold Devouring Immortal, holding a simple and unadorned black spear tightly in both hands. With a thrust, it stabbed towards its back.

The figure was naturally Mo Guang, who had taken possession of the Ash Immortal's corpse. It was unknown what secret method he used, but the aura波动 on his body at this moment was surprisingly Grand Luo initial-stage.

Black light shone brightly on the spear, and the bloodstains on the tip of the spear bloomed with blood-red light threads, swirling around the spear tip, condensing into blood-red spear shadows like lotuses, emitting bursts of shocking sharp whistling sounds.

As the spear shook, the light痕 swept, agile like a swimming dragon, stabbing towards the Gold Devouring Immortal with a strong killing aura. The power it displayed was dozens of times stronger than when Han Li tested it that day.

The Grand Luo level Gold Devouring Immortal had long been aware of this, but its body did not dodge at all, instead raising its two front limbs to meet the black spear.

The size difference between the two was enormous, but the momentum they each carried was not small. Like a steel pestle against a needle tip, they collided violently.
