ew towards Mu Chai woman. His speed was already quite good among the crowd. At this moment, accelerating his flight, he immediately left Lu Xia Tian and the others behind.“This physique is so massive,...Whoosh whoosh whoosh The transparent scorpion tail darted about in the water, appearing and disappearing at will. Even when it struck, casual demon creatures couldn't tell what had happened, unable to judge the angle or timing of the Shadow Scorpion King's attack.

The power was so terrifying that Ban Yao and the others were shocked. They knew they wouldn't be able to withstand even a few attacks from the Shadow Scorpion King's assault. 。

Thus, it's hard to escape the fate of being killed on the spot.

But the Lu Xia Tian in front of him, clad in a blue robe and with a ghostly face, did not use any other magic treasures. It seemed that relying only on his physical body, he had blocked the attack of the Shadow Scorpion King. 。Every attack from the Phantom Scorpion King is eerie and incredibly powerful. 。< >There was no sign of Lu Xiaitian making any superfluous movements.< > 。Often, with a simple punch or palm strike from just one side of the body, he could alleviate most of the Shadow Scorpion King's attacks. 。With Lu XiaTian's defensive capabilities, the remaining attacks that landed on him failed to inflict much serious damage. 。The six flying scorpion formations and twelve azure fire pillars, the green-black scorpion whips and ethereal flying swords clashing, formed underwater whirlpools, one more intense than the last. Sadly, no other monsters flew over from the sky to witness the turbulent currents surging within the monster sea. 。

While the Banyao party, also deep within the Demon Sea, felt the terror of this scene.

This forced them to retreat constantly, lest they be drawn into the fray. 。As the fight progressed, several transparent scorpion tails appeared in the water, attacking Lu XiaTian from all unexpected angles. They seemed determined to succeed at all costs. 。

The attacks of the Shadow Scorpion King came in waves, pushing Lu Xia Tian back until he had to summon his Five Elements Yuanci Golden Armor just to block them.

"You are quite good, very good. This king hasn't encountered such a formidable opponent in a long time. In a while, this king will come again." 。Both sides fought for nearly two hours. It turned out that the seabed within hundreds of miles had deepened by thousands of meters because of their fierce battle. 。In the deep sea, the Phantom Scorpion King flickered and reappeared. Looking at Lu Xia Tian, he not only didn't get angry but burst into laughter instead. 。"Welcome, Scorpion King!" A hoarse voice came from beneath Lu Xia Tian's ghost mask. 。"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, the Shadow Scorpion King turned and, along with his four subordinates, vanished into the distant Demon Sea as a streak of light. They came swiftly, and left just as quickly. 。"This, this is it" Ban Yao still had a hint of disbelief on her face. The infamous Shadow Scorpion King, with four powerful warriors from his clan, arrived with an intimidating aura. Ban Yao and Ban Qianzhi, both fully expecting to be in grave danger this time, never imagined that what they thought would be an insurmountable hurdle would be crossed so easily. 。"I never expected Mr. Xiang to be so powerful." 。I apologize for any past offenses. 。"Ban Qian Zhi Chao Lu Xiao Tian arched his hands and bowed." 。Last time, Lu Xiaitian single-handedly killed four Nascent Soul early stage demonic beasts, which already surprised Ban Qianzhi greatly. Unexpectedly, his performance this time was even more astonishing. This mysterious human cultivator actually possessed divine power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul late stage expert. 。"It's alright, the crisis is far from over. We are just as trapped in this cave dwelling as we would be out there. Let's go back first and discuss it." 。Lu Xia Tian waved his hand, having no heart to say much more to Ban Qianzhi. 。went straight back to his cave. 。This grotto, even under the prolonged assault of a late-stage merging expert, would develop vulnerabilities. However, those eerie demonic butterflies were still unable to penetrate that incredibly hard clam shell. 。With no other better options available at the moment, Lu Xia Tian could only return to his cave dwelling and consider his next move carefully. 。"Everything obeys Mr. Xiang's command" 。"Ban Qianzhi lowered his posture to the extreme. After this incident, Ban Qianzhi understood just how vast the gap in strength was between them. Lu Xiaoteng could have completely claimed this cave dwelling for himself, but luckily, at least from what he saw now, it seemed that Lu Xiaoteng had no such intention." 。One can't be too respectful towards Ban Qianzhi. 。"Nothing special, just as before. Just don't disturb my cultivation." 。Even a mere cave dwelling, Lu Xia Tian didn't pay much attention to it. With Ban Qian Zhi and Ban Yao guarding him, he could avoid some trouble. 。This fellow daoist is truly strange. 。"After making eye contact, Ban Yao and Ban Qian let out a slight sigh of relief." 。Fortunately, Lu Xia Tian didn't press them further, otherwise they would be trapped both outside and inside the cave. The two of them would have nowhere to go. 。Back at his cultivation chamber, Lu Xia Tian sat cross-legged, placing his palm flat. He looked at the formless spirit creature in his palm—it had a body but no limbs or features—and a hint of hesitation crossed his eyes. 。Calculating the time, he had spent nearly a decade in this grotto. 。For over a decade, he has been diligently cultivating within the Broken Gold Ice Fire Sand Realm, solidifying his recently achieved physical realm breakthrough. 。 。

The spirit of the mudstone monster in his hand was one of his backup plans.

Back then, at Lake Lanjing, pursued by Master Ming Yi, Lu Xia Tian transformed himself into a puddle of mud in order to escape. 。He had escaped the clutches of Master Mingyi, but nearly perished in the chaotic energy fluctuations of a battle between lower-ranking demons. 。For Lu Xiaitian, it was a rather significant misunderstanding. 。Having learned from the last experience, Lu Xia Tian also prepared a similar backup plan. To be honest, this strange butterfly swarm was too formidable. Lu Xia Tian didn't dare to confront it head-on and had no confidence in directly breaking through the swarm, so he thought of a similar method. 。Like the monster's primordial spirit that transformed into a pupa, Lu Xia Tian also had in his hands... 。And there are more than just one with four-fused souls and five-fused souls. 。This life-saving method doesn't depend on how many monster souls are fused. It emphasizes the strength of one's combat prowess. Even if one's strength increases greatly, it won't allow them to instantly become as powerful as a Mahayana realm cultivator. 。The key lies in its ability to conceal itself. 。And the mudstone demon primordial spirit in his hand was formed by him using five different kinds of demon beasts to temper his soul and then merging them. 。As for sorcery duels, they are still inferior to the demonic beasts of the Shenxu Realm. 。Once Lu Xia Tian swallows this demon's soul, he will transform into a mudstone demon, his aura identical to that of mudstone in the sea. 。And it also has a certain level of defense. Even if it's confronted by demonic beasts at the Shenxu realm, as long as they don't strike him directly, even slight fluctuations in their magical combat won't pose a fatal threat to him. 。

However, there is another major drawback to using this artifact. This process of petrification takes much longer than the last time with the mud pupa demon.

Moving can take dozens or even hundreds of years. 。And even if he recovers his true form, the side effects may not be completely eliminated. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head, if he was really pushed to the point where there was no other option, I'm afraid this would be the only way left. 。Some aftereffects are better than losing one's life. 。After putting away the mudstone demon's primordial spirit, Lu Xia Tian shook his head. Just now, he had fought a battle with the Shadow Scorpion King. The Shadow Scorpion King came with a menacing aura, but in the end, he was just raised high and put down lightly. In fact, the Shadow Scorpion King also had its own purpose. 。a Clan." Yan Bai was dissatisfied with the threat in the words of the Sanjiao Lei Monster just now, and now his tone shifted to sarcasm.“It’s nothing to worry about. The Gui Ling Immortal Domain is ba...
