deafening *bang*, the lightning spear shot towards the one-eyed giant. The one-eyed giant held his green spear tightly in both hands to block, but the lightning spear's shaft was as soft as boneless,...In an instant, thousands upon thousands of skulls were encased in faint purple ice crystals. A constant crackling sound filled the air as these skulls, unable to withstand the frigid breath, began to shatter.

Though these skulls may seem inexhaustible, under the icy breath of Zi Shu Water Shadow, they are still like encountering an invisible and insurmountable wall.

The old woman with the gray staff had eyes as blue-black as twilight, and from them two strange gleams shot out into the swirling ice mist.

A cry of pain rang out, as a purple water phantom was wounded by the unexpected and fierce attack of the grey-staffed old woman.

But before the crone with the gray staff could rejoice, that icy chill spread along those two tangible, inky-blue eyes, reaching her directly. In a flash of lightning, it struck her eyes.

The gray-haired crone cried out in pain, her eyes wounded by ice needles formed from frost. A purplish fluid flowed like blood.

With Lu Xiaoteng's eyesight, he could see the ice condensing into two ice needles that pierced his eyes. In a moment of crisis, two skull phantom figures appeared in the eyes of the old woman with the gray staff, each swallowing an ice needle. The old woman with the gray staff knew she was no match, so she quickly retreated, barely escaping.

Compared to Kong Shan, the actions of the old woman with the gray staff were significantly more radical. She appeared to harbor extreme animosity towards Zi Shu's water shadow, but she overestimated her own abilities, resulting in a significant setback early in their confrontation.

Fortunately, the old woman with the gray staff was no less skilled than Kong Shan. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, she immediately withdrew and eased the opponent's offensive, preventing her injuries from worsening further. However, Lu Xia Tian still had to step in to make up for it. If the old man with the gray staff hadn't been able to hold his ground, his strategy of resisting these Zishuishuiying ice extreme stillness formations would have been completely ruined before it was fully deployed.

With a boom! A blazing giant fist struck, the Nirvana Saint Flame wrapped around the shadow of the palm deflecting the combined assault of several Violet Guard Water Shadows as the Gray-Staff Old Woman pursued.

“Many thanks to the Eastern Saint for his help. It was my fault as an old woman for being rash.” The old woman with the gray staff said apologetically.

"As for the Bingji Jinyuan Formation against Zishui's water shadow, I have no guarantee of success. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, fellow Daoist, please don't be so polite."

Lu Xia Tian did not take credit for himself. These three came to bear the brunt of the pressure. The Gray Staff Elder was not afraid of battle. If she were to blame her for her slight recklessness leading to failure, it would not only offend the Gray Staff Elder but also dampen the enthusiasm of Kong Shan and the Bloodscale Clan man.

At this time, the pressure from the blood-seal scale clan man was no less than that of the two. Chilling ice energy surged, and Yin Ice slashed with a long sword in his hand. One after another, seemingly not very powerful blade lights alternated.

In the blink of an eye, these dense blades turned into a crimson net like the blood-colored markings on his body.

The frigid air touched the textures built by blade glows, causing them to disperse and circulate continuously on the bloody web. For a moment, however, it did not surge out from within to harm anyone.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Xia Tian looked surprised. Of the three new arrivals, Yin Yi Ce used the least amount of power but achieved the best results.

However, this also relates to their strategy. Compared to the Gray Lady, Kongshan's two offensive tactics, Yin Yici once deployed on the battlefield, were not seeking achievements but aiming for no mistakes.

At this time, one's expression should be calm and composed, appearing relaxed and in control. Out of obedience to the old monster's orders, he wouldn't show much resistance or initiative towards Lu Xia Tian's arrangements.

After Lü Xiaotien stepped in to help, the three of them—the Grey-Staffed Old Woman, Kongshan, and Yin Yicé—were doing relatively well. Even when Zi Shǔ Shuiying launched a stronger attack, the three, although they would be at a disadvantage for a time, could still hold on.

As for the Yù Shī and Yan Píng, there were four of them. Since they had already consumed a considerable amount before entering the Dùkōng Shí Tǎ, they were placed in relatively less dangerous positions at this time. However, danger still lurked everywhere. It was really hard to say how long they could hold on.

"Demonic Prison Breaker Style!" The Prison Lion refused to meekly die under the suppression of Zi Shu's water shadow. Whenever it got a chance, it would counterattack. A pure black demonic domain unfolded around it, accompanied by a majestic and wild giant lion demon form. It would occasionally claw out to aid the Prison Lion's attacks.

Jin Gu Mo Seng, Ning Qing He, Yan Ping and others also used their respective methods, but the situation remained quite difficult. The addition of Kong Shan and his group did not bring about any fundamental improvement, they only managed to maintain the current situation with difficulty, preventing an early defeat.

Ning Qinghe, Yan Ping's complexion paled, cultivation to their current level also took countless years, they had seen countless storms and waves.

How could they not realize that this might be the true intention of the old monster within the Empty Sky Pagoda Perhaps their lives and deaths weren't that important; maybe the old monster in the pagoda just needed someone to delay things for him, creating an opportunity for escape.

Ning Qinghe's eyes kept looking to Lu Xiaotien for help. Right now, the only one who could help them was Lu Xiaotien. The old monster in the stone pagoda had chosen Lu Xiaotien to lead them against the enemy, even including Kongshan, the Gray Staff Old Woman, and Yin Yicé. It seemed that the old monster also placed high hopes on Lu Xiaotien.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes flickered, he ignored Ning Qing He and Yan Ping and the others, his gaze passing over them. When it came to saving people in need, Lu Xia Tian didn't mind lending a hand. Right now, although these few were facing difficulties, they hadn't reached a desperate situation yet.

The old monster imparted the formation to him in an extremely short time. In such a perilous situation, an ordinary person would hardly have time to study the formation.

Lu Xia Tian forcefully pushed through his deductions, as if swallowing a whole book without digesting it. However, under the combined attacks of these purple sentry water shadows, the transformation of the ice source within him provided Lu Xia Tian with quite a few inspirations.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The ice source within Zi Shu's water shadow body has condensed like a mountain, having fused deeply with its bloodline power. While the opponent's attack method is extremely single-minded, once this ice source erupts in an array formation, it becomes incredibly troublesome.

The formation combines the power of the Zishui Ying bloodline, allowing even extremely powerful attacks to be dispersed among numerous Zishui Ying figures and rendered harmless.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian also increasingly felt the terrifying power of Zi Shu Demon Emperor back then. Zi Shu Water Shadow was originally made up of various demonic creatures, but after absorbing diluted blood, it spontaneously gained some of the methods of Zi Shu Demon Emperor.

>

This Purple Guard Demon Emperor had actually cultivated his divine abilities to every part of his body, and didn't need to deliberately control them. Once he encountered an enemy, they could automatically defend themselves.

These monsters were originally different demon clans living in black and purple murky water. After absorbing this diluted Demon Emperor's blood, their bodies underwent mutations and began to assimilate. Those who couldn't hold on had long since vanished into thin air. The survivors were assimilated into the current Purple Water Shadow.

These Zishui Shadow bloodlines are connected, but only the Bingyuan within certain parts of the Zishui Shadow bodies can unite. It is likely that this portion of their blood carries the inheritance of the Ziyu Magic Emperor's Extreme Ice Silent Array.

There are also some other Zishui Yingshen that appear to have the same origin, but they were not included within the range of the Jibi Bingji Yuanzhen formation. However, they can provide a certain supplement to this formation.

As Lu Xia Tian pondered this formation, he felt a multitude of emotions, and his eyes grew increasingly sharp.

These Purple Garrison Water Shadows are somewhat similar to the previous situation of Taiping True Person and Mingkong Star Tortoise Cen Jingyi, only they have merged more thoroughly.

Taiqing Zhenren and Cen Jinyi, on the basis of mutual trust and openness, used the Five-Rank Wanhua Wuji Tongmai Pill to fuse their bloodlines together.

And these purple phantom watershades, under the influence of the powerful demon emperor's blood, underwent some transformations, becoming the strange beings they are today.

Although the two have significant differences, they also share some commonalities. The strength of Zishuishuiying doesn't come from itself, but rather from the fusion of a portion of the Demon Emperor's blood. It can't even be said that it has been refined, as a considerable part of this powerful blood has lost its original self within it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In this way, this Bingji Jiyuan Array was originally something that Lu Xiaoteng's strength couldn't even compare to. But now that he has a general understanding of the array's principles, by peeling it layer by layer, Lu Xiaoteng has a clear understanding of the current situation.

This formation's might was utterly insurmountable for Lu Xia Tian, but deploying this set of techniques under the current circumstances inevitably exposed its weaknesses.

The opponent is ultimately powerful, and even with certain shortcomings, their strengths need to be tested through repeated battles.

"I never expected that even a portion of the Demon Emperor's blood could create such a powerful being. The Purple Guard Demon Emperor's prestige back then on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was unmatched, his supreme demonic arts shook countless realms. To see him with my own eyes today is truly a great honor in my life."

A hazy golden figure and a purple-cloaked phantom stood apart after their clash, suspended in mid-air. A faint golden light flickered around the old man, making his form indistinct. He gazed at the cluster of pale purple light before him with astonishment.

“You're not bad either. Under my absence, you were actually able to withstand my attacks.” Zi Shu You Ying repeatedly sized up the golden figure before her, “Return the black and purple Yin water you swallowed earlier, and I will let bygones be bygones.”

"I apologize, old man was trapped in the Voidstone Tower for countless ages. Just now, I came across a glimmer of hope, how could I let it pass easily."

The aged man with a golden shadow showed no signs of yielding, not even in the face of such immense pressure. Even though there was a fundamental conflict of interest between them, he refused to back down an inch.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

"In that case, there is only one way." Zi Shu's shadow transformed into a cluster of crystal-clear purple light. The purple light coalesced into a sword and slowly slashed towards the golden figure elder.

Even if it wasn't aimed at him, seeing the sword strike that the other party unleashed still sent a chill down Lu Xiaotian's spine.

It seemed that this sword strike, even if he was in a state of teleportation, could be killed by it. The opponent's sword intent seemed to be everywhere. Even with the power of his years of cultivation and using the strongest dragon form, he still didn't have the confidence to withstand this sword.

The old man's eyes were also filled with solemnity at this time. With a swipe of his hands, a huge golden ring appeared in front of him, and the two sides of the golden ring were almost separated into two different worlds.

Here's the translation of your content:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The purple sword shadow slashed forward, disappearing into the golden ring. It should have pierced through the ring and directly struck the golden figure elder. However, in the next instant, the sword shadow appeared a hundred miles away from the golden figure elder's side.

"Golden light, so tiny yet vast, moving and shifting around" Zi Shu's ethereal voice was filled with wonder.

Jin Guang Xu Mi moved and shifted The Golden Worm Demon Monk was startled, as for Ning Qing He, Yan Ping and the others, they all looked bewildered, clearly having never heard of this treasure's origins.

“Who is this person” Lu Xiaoteng asked in surprise.

The Golden Worm Demon Monk seemed extraordinary, knowing many secrets unknown to outsiders.

The legacy obtained by the Golden Gu Worm Monk was also closely related to him. Prior to the battle in Ye Yuan City, Lu Xia Tian used Buddhist divine abilities several times, which caught the attention of the Golden Gu Worm Monk.

The other party, however, deliberately maintained their usual demeanor and showed no desire to discuss Buddhist supernatural powers with Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian himself had plenty of trouble on his hands and was unwilling to create further complications by delving into this matter.

“This person was already a powerful Immortal Monarch before the Four Directions Heavenly Court was established. He fought with all the Immortal Monarchs of the Four Directions Heavenly Court and emerged undefeated. It is said that he was the closest to the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Demons. His fame in the Demon Realm is so great because Golden Light Immortal Monarch possesses both human and demon bloodlines. Moreover, he cultivated a primordial spirit body level clone in the Demon Realm, intending to use the fusion of immortal and demonic bodies to break through to a higher realm. However, for some unknown reason, he later disappeared...”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Is it Jin Guang Xianjun, who's attempting to break through to a higher realm Lu Xiaoteng gasped. Inside the Duko Stone Tower there was actually such a powerful being hidden away.

Even if the old monster within his Green Fruit Barrier was truly the Ten Thousand Poisons True Monarch, he might not even be a match for Golden Light Immortal Monarch.

Who could have sealed the Golden Light Immortal King within the Sky Crossing Stone Tower What kind of being would be capable of such a feat

“Eastern Saint, we know quite a bit about them now. Whether it's the Purple Shadow of Zi Shu or the appearance of Jin Guang Immortal King, none of this is trivial. The other party may not want their whereabouts exposed and causing trouble for themselves. Even if we can barely escape for a while, in the end, it will be difficult to escape their pursuit.” Golden Gu Mo Seng suddenly sent a voice transmission to Lu Xia Tian.

“Oh You already have a destination” Lu Xia Tian was completely unfamiliar with this Forgetful Soul Ruins. If he didn't have other guidance, even if he had temporarily escaped the current predicament, he still needed to find a place to go. Otherwise, he would be like a headless fly, running around aimlessly within the Forgetful Soul Ruins.

As for the ghost image of the Void General, while it's possible that it could have some effect on someone like Jin Guang Xianjun. However, when you might encounter the ghost image of the Void General is unpredictable. Not to mention, even if this old monster was affected by the ghost image of the Void General, its strength wouldn't be weaker than before the Wishfire Salamander.

As for whether Zi Shu You Ying will be affected by Xu Jiang Hun Ying, it remains to be seen.

"This poor monk knows of an ancient Buddha's secret realm, which could serve as a sanctuary for the Eastern Alchemical Saint and this poor monk." The Golden Gu Demon Monk gritted his teeth, appearing to have made some difficult decision.

"How far is it from here" Lu Xia Tian asked.

The Golden Gu Demon Monk said, “Twenty thousand miles isn’t that far away to look at, but in the Oblivion Ruins it’s not the same as the outside world. Sometimes even just a few hundred miles can feel like an uncrossable chasm. But besides this, there aren't any other better options for now.”

"Alright, I'll take you there." Lu Xia Tian naturally knew what the other party meant. Under Zi Shu Shui Ying's attack, waves of frigid air constantly surged towards them. Even Jin Gu Mo Seng didn't know how long he could hold on. Seeing his intention to retreat, he wanted to use this method to bind him together., "It seems there are even more of those clueless fools than I expected." 。That's good too, useless trash that can't team up with me, becoming food is also not bad. 。"Feeling the gaze of Xiong Kun, th...
