Chapter 5390: Capturing the Formation
on in a fierce battle.The location of Zi Jiao Island has fallen into chaos, with fierce battles shaking the heavens.Lu Xia Tian frowned. A single greedy crane demon wasn't much of a threat to him. But...It wasn't that Lu Xia Tian now possessed the strength to kill him, but Kong Tianji felt for the first time that he couldn't see through Lu Xia Tian at all.
The other party's every move was as expected. Kong Tianji began to feel that the plot against Lu Xia tian might have been a mistake from the start.
When one reaches the state of Kong Tian Ji, what they worry about when encountering enemies is not entirely the enemy's strength, but rather the unpredictable unknown.
And the enemy in front of him, Lu Xiaoteng, was clearly this kind of opponent. Regardless of how things went, Kong Tianji couldn't stay inside this formation any longer; every moment he delayed meant taking on more risk.
Seizing the opportunity while it still remained, Kong Tianji swiftly cast off his pursuers. He stepped into the void portal with a single stride, while Lu Xiaoteng's halberd sliced through the air.
KaKa.... All around was empty, and even the formations of this area surged violently under such a powerful attack. Kong Tianji was shocked to see the spear that fell from outside the passage. In terms of power alone, he wasn't incapable of taking it, even with his Kongming Axe, he could meet the killing force without being weaker than the opponent. What truly surprised him was the energy of this spear. Even for a powerful cultivator at the Immortal King level like himself, it had an overwhelming effect. It was that invincible momentum that Kong Tianji valued most.
The momentum has been established, the other side just needs to accumulate more time, surpassing the present is only a matter of time.
If we cannot kill it this time, even if we use our last resort in the future, it will be difficult to control it again.
Kong Tianji sucked in a breath, suddenly muttering to himself, "Not good!" The entire passage of the Kongwei Gate began to distort.
"Damn it, the Empyrean Heavenly Cauldron!" Kong Tianji cursed. He had been searching for it for so many years and couldn't find it, with barely any leads at all.
But it allowed an outsider like Lu Xia Tian to obtain it. Otherwise, with Lu Xia Tian's strength, there was no way he could threaten the Void Gate so quickly.
With a deafening boom!, the surrounding space collapsed. The entire Canglan Ghost Void Formation was blasted with dozens of large and small holes by Fang Tianhua's halberd strike this time.
The surrounding void beasts were slaughtered in droves. Even a tear in space directly devoured tens of thousands of void beasts.
>
"Pfft!" In the next instant, Kong Tianji stumbled out of the gate from tens of thousands of miles away, spewing several mouthfuls of blood. The entire passageway of the Void Gate almost collapsed under Lu Xia Tian's single strike.
Kong Tianji was not injured in Lu Xiaoxian's hands. He was injured while maintaining the stability of the Void Gate passage, and was struck back by the power of space.
>
This will appear and there will still be a large number of interstitial beasts surrounding it, and they will immediately attack.
Kong Tianji had no time to waste with these people. With a flick of his sleeve, a wave of azure light surged forward like the tide.
Within the halo, Jiuyoushi Kongshu moved at an astonishing speed, clearing out all tens of thousands of xuan beasts on the scene in just a few breaths.
This is not a time to conserve energy; he must get rid of his current predicament before Lu Xia Tian arrives, otherwise he would not be so reckless.
"Remarkable." Kong Tianji turned his head to look at the direction of the large formation, his expression flickering between陰 and 晴. If he didn't use his last resort, it would be impossible to kill Lu Xiaoteng here.
Was he willing to make this choice Kong Tianjic was still a little hesitant, perhaps the him from that time wasn't him entirely anymore.

The entire body and spirit fused with the ancestors of the Kongying clan. Kong Tianji didn't want to take this path if there was even a slight possibility of avoiding it.
Now it's impossible to kill Lu Xia Tian. After years of planning within the Kong Ying clan, everything is ruined. He's even suffered serious injuries from the backlash at the Void Gate.
If Lu Xiaotian can't be killed here, he will most likely not survive this Immortal-Demon War.

Kong Tianji's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but after a moment, that hesitation gradually transformed into astonishing ferocity and ruthlessness.
Though he had lived through countless killings and witnessed the cycle of life and death, Kong Tianji still wanted to fight with all his might when it came to his own survival.
>
What's sought after is not just the hope of survival, but also a dedication to one's own cultivation path. Even at his current level, facing this vast and boundless world, facing life and death that he hasn't fully grasped, he still feels insignificant. But even in his insignificance, he still wants to use his limited power to comprehend the endless mysteries of heaven and earth. But all of this is based on living. As long as he lives, there are infinite possibilities. Perhaps the fusion with that old monster from his clan will be taken over by others, or even lose himself in the end. But what if the other party's strength has dwindled over the years Kong Tianji, as the leader of a clan, has always been extremely proud. Even facing a senior member of his clan who was once stronger than him, and even though the other party's current strength is insignificant, Kong Tianji doesn't feel that he will be completely suppressed.
"Originally, I hadn't made up my mind. However, the Eastern Dan Saint is truly too troublesome, and has inadvertently helped me make this decision."
Kong Tianji was like a ghostly apparition, his body flashing several times in mid-air. The Jianxu beasts that surrounded him hadn't managed to fully encircle him yet.

Kong Tianji didn't spend much effort to completely pass through the beast blockade. The beasts surrounding that large formation behind him were still densely packed, but Kong Tianji wasn't worried about Lu Xiaottian's safety for the time being.
With this guy's skill and a whole formation at his disposal, even if he was surrounded, the beast horde would have a hard time defeating him.
The opponent was able to unleash such a powerful final attack, clearly they still had many tricks up their sleeve. He needed to act quickly on his end. The existence of the Void Heavenly Emperor Cauldron introduced too many variables; if he hesitated for even a moment, other unforeseen circumstances could arise. He might even directly leave this space. If that happened, it would be incredibly difficult to pull him back.
When the thread is not broken, it will only tangle further. Kong Tianji gritted his teeth, and plunged into a void of darkness within the empty space.
He still got away. Lu Xiaotian's eyes held a tinge of regret, the last hope of capturing Kong Tianji had been lost.
This guy is unfathomable, and Lu Xia Tian wouldn't want to provoke him again under any circumstances if he could avoid a fight.
If we can use the Sub-Cauldron to leave this space and merge with the Saint Relic Law, it would be best.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xia Tian lost his connection to Kong Tian Ji. The other party should have entered another secret place.
After a moment's thought, Lu XiaTian controlled the entire formation to shift in the opposite direction. Regardless of whether he fought with Kong Tianji again, he had to find a way to leave this place.

The impact of the phantom beast formations was still fierce, but everything has its pros and cons. These phantom beasts brought him great trouble, but they were not entirely worthless.
At least countless void beasts were active inside and outside this great formation, causing the space to become increasingly turbulent. Lu Xia Tian could also sense more clues through the Sky Emperor Cauldron.
Herd are also occasionally swallowed by spatial cracks. At this time, Zidian's greatest help to Lu Xia Tian is not a direct increase in combat power.
His mastery of spatial laws hasn't progressed enough in this environment, or rather, it's still somewhat lacking compared to his current enemies. The enhancement to his combat power isn't very noticeable.
>
However, Zidian's ability to allow his consciousness to continuously extend within such a chaotic space is not comparable to any slight increase in combat power.
When he was first pulled into this space by the enormous whirlpool, Lu Xia Tian could not see any better than a blind man.
In this situation, even if his combat power increased by one or two times, he would be like a headless fly, bumping around aimlessly. In the end, he would inevitably be exhausted and killed here. Even relying on the swarm of void beasts alone could besiege him to death.
"If it weren't for Kong Tianji providing this formation, it would have been quite troublesome to hold back a beast horde of this scale."
Lu Xia Tian's lips curled up slightly, probably the other party didn't expect that the formation originally intended to trap him would now become Lu Xia Tian's escape tool.
Using this Canglan Ghost Void Array, he continuously diverted the beast hordes that entered the formation. Lu Xia Tian always faced a controlled number of beasts within his range.
>
Otherwise, even with his cultivation, he would be unable to withstand the all-round and incessant attacks of the beast horde. In order to conserve his own energy expenditure, it was imperative to have the many powerful individuals within Qingguo's barrier take turns fighting in advance.
The situation hasn't deteriorated to this point yet. Facing Kong Tianji who could return at any moment, Lu Xia Tian still has to do his best to keep the other party unaware of his true strength.
Power only works when used at critical moments to achieve unexpected results. Once Kong Tian Ji is prepared in advance, the effectiveness of the numerous powerful beings within Qingguo's barrier would be relatively limited in this environment.
After a long journey, Lu Xia Tian's face suddenly lit up. He sensed the direction back to his Kongying Clan territory. Although it was very far away, for him, as long as he could sense the general direction, getting there would only be a matter of time.
It was the three-headed and six-armed holy stone form of Sanpan, Kongyan, and two other powerful auras faintly came from another direction.
The other two must be the remaining two protectors of the Kongying Clan who are close to the existence of a Immortal King. Lu Xia Tian was about to rush over and meet with Sheng Pan Fa.
Even if he couldn't completely subdue the other two guardians, and even if they might have ways to save themselves in the hands of the immortal monarch's enemies, Lu Xia Tian didn't feel like he could kill both of them at once. It was possible that he wouldn't be able to keep either one.
However, it's impossible to subdue or kill it. Even severely injuring it is a good outcome. It would be best if we could subdue Kongyan, as it would be a powerful asset.
If Kong Tianji seizes the opportunity to chase after them, these two individuals could very well be his sharpest claws. At the level of Immortal Kings, they are capable of interfering in the battle.
Just as Lü Xiaotian made this decision, a powerful and oppressive aura swept over him.
Though they had never met, Lu Xia Tian could sense the imminent decay from him. There was also a hint of familiarity in that feeling.
It was none other than Kong Tianji, whom he had fought with before. However, this sense of familiarity wasn't strong, as if it was suppressed by that aura of vicissitudes and decay.
"To merge with an existence of the half-step demonic emperor level is truly courting death." With Lu Xiaotian's insight, he could naturally guess what had happened. While not entirely accurate, it was at least eighty or ninety percent certain. Kong Tianji had lived too long and was probably unable to survive the catastrophe that accompanied the opening of this fairy demon battlefield. Unlike several celestial monarchs under the Heavenly Court, they could withstand the continuous baptism of the earth's energy and luck, effectively resolving the accumulated decay within their bodies.

Self-cultivation to this level requires bearing greater risks and is far less stable than that of a celestial lord or demon lord. One's ability to withstand risks must be even worse.
Therefore, Kong Tianji began to seek his own path, even going so far as to merge with the ancient monster who had been dormant within his clan for many years, risking being completely consumed. Now, the consequences for Kong Tianji appear dire.
After the two monsters merged, that half-step demon emperor level existence awakened in this way, the pressure it brought to Lu Xia Tian was truly extraordinary.
The other party was approaching at an astonishing speed. Lu Xia Tian abandoned the idea of directly merging with the Saintly Rock Law and instead turned to flee in another direction.
This place has chaotic spatial fluctuations, even with the refining of a Heavenly Void Cauldron within one's body. Clashing with a half-step Demon Emperor-level existence from the Space System in such a place would be extremely unwise.
This is a test.
This old monster had been asleep for an unknown number of years. Although his original strength might have dwindled, after merging with Kong Tianji, this ruthless and insane fellow, who knows what level he had reached Lu Xia Tian couldn't be sure at the moment.
When it truly came time to face off, Lu Xia Tian naturally wasn't afraid of the opponent. Under normal circumstances, he would still try his best to avoid a direct confrontation.
When it truly came to fighting, Lu XiaTian would also try his best to choose a place advantageous to himself.

Compared to leaving this eerie space, returning to the Eliminating Demon Pool area gave Lu Xia Tian more confidence.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've met a young one with such abundant vitality and good fortune."
A raspy, unpleasant voice echoed from the depths of the void. "It seems my opportunity for a comeback is looking quite promising this time."
“I’m afraid you don’t have the good teeth for this, and you’ll end up biting yourself.” Lu Xiaoti coldly chuckled, only dealing with Kong Tianji before facing another even more difficult opponent. He didn't even have time to catch his breath.

However, from the moment Lu Xia Tian entered the Immortal Realm to now, being able to cultivate to such a remarkable realm, besides his own comprehension and diligent cultivation, the most crucial factor is constantly facing and battling various powerful enemies, tempering himself.

"You youngsters are quite full of yourselves, aren't you This Emperor has lived for countless years and seen countless arrogant people. You're not the first, nor will you be the last." The other party let out a raspy laugh, not even remotely angry.
"He's just a half-step Demonic Emperor, not a true Demon Realm Sovereign. He really thinks he's invincible If you want to fight, then fight. But wait until you catch up first."
Though powerful enemies pursued him from behind, Lu Xia Tian remained calm and collected, continuing to control the formation as it shifted outward. The greater the strength of his opponents, the more crucial it was for him to maintain his composure.
Even if the opponent is strong, they first need to fight their way through the group of virtual beasts and compete with him for control of the Canglan Ghost Kong formation. It's not easy to take back the formation from his hands. Lu Xia Tian has already found a way out of this space, and he is not afraid of being intercepted by the opponent. Regardless of how much strength the opponent still has, if Lu Xia Tian cannot fight them alone, he can team up with Yan Ji, Ji Ting, Lan Yun Zhu Seng and other powerful figures. Lu Xia Tian doesn't believe that they can't resist this old monster.lack qi gathered around it. This process lasted for more than ten days before a shape resembling the Swallowing Abyss Sword formed in the middle of the mirror.Let me know if you have any other text yo...
