Chapter 2544: Heavenly Demon Soul-Capturing Bell >

trike was like a lit fuse, instantly igniting the killing intent that Lu Xiaotian had been desperately suppressing within himself. The blood-red color in his eyes deepened further. Lu Xiaotian let out...The White-Eyed Ape King was even stronger than the Three-Sided Corpse Ape, and his defense was also more formidable. However, facing Lu Xiaitian's main body and his lotus incarnation who had advanced to the late stage of the Hunyuan realm sword cultivator...

Even though Lu Xia Tian had already suffered considerable consumption, he was far from comparable to an ordinary Fusion Stage cultivator. By employing the Soul Melting Technique and controlling the wooden puppet, he engaged in battle with the White-Eyed Ape King alongside his lotus blossom avatar.

After advancing in rank, the lotus avatar's swordsmanship was extraordinarily powerful. This battle naturally relied on the lotus avatar as the main force, with Lu Xia Tian's main body as support. Even though he had just advanced in rank, his strength was far beyond what it used to be.

In the void, there were no swords flashing across the sky. Only that seemingly ordinary three-foot long sword. With a single strike, it almost had the power to cleave the void itself.

At this time, the lotus avatar's realm was not yet stable. Relying on just one avatar, it was still not a match for the White-Eyed Ape King. True power could only be unleashed when its realm gradually stabilized. Coupled with the main body, they could easily suppress the White-Eyed Ape King.

I just want to thoroughly kill it, but I still don't have much hope. Late-stage merged monsters are not so easy to kill. Whether it's the three-pronged Corpse Ape or the white-eyed Monkey King in front of me, even the red and green Monkey King who has already fallen is like this. These three monsters are not comparable to Ming Qi, the giant skull, and the twelve ghosts of Tongxin that I encountered before.

Lu XiaTian sized up the situation before him, gritted his teeth, and once again unfurled the twelve battle flags.

The White-Eyed Ape King saw the battle flag reappear, and his heart was filled with terror. Earlier, Sanzang Corpse Ape had fallen within this great formation.

Though his strength was not inferior to that of the Sanjian Shiyuan, it was only slightly better. Moreover, his current situation was even worse than that of the Sanjian Shiyuan.

Upon seeing the twelve formation flags floating in mid-air, the White-Eyed Ape King desperately tried to break through. Lu Xiaotian and his Lotus avatar had both suffered significant exhaustion from a previous duel, and while the latter had recently broken through, they had also expended considerable energy resisting the Yin-Yang Tribulation Wheel. At that moment, their combined strength was insufficient to kill the White-Eyed Ape King. However, although they failed to slay him, holding back the White-Eyed Ape King was still not a major issue.

Twelve battle flags fell, forming a killing array once more. The outcome was decided. Even Ye Qianxin couldn't have predicted that someone could unleash the Devouring God and Swallowing Demon Composite Bow Formation twice in succession.

Just like the previous Three-Headed Corpse Ape, the White-Eyed Ape King couldn't escape the fate of being shot to death by a hail of crossbow bolts.

Reaching out, he also drew in the primordial spirit of the White-Eyed Ape King. Blood spilled from the corner of Lu Xiaoteng's mouth. Every injury to a sub-primordial spirit was excruciating pain for him as well.

Since the continuous battles in the Soul-Devouring Realm, although Lu Xia Tian has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, he himself has been pushed to a corner. In this battle with the White-Eyed Ape King, even Yan Wei's flame tail demon soul has been consumed to the point of exhaustion.

Lu Xiaotian, both his main body and lotus avatar, had exhausted themselves greatly. If another powerful being of this level appeared, even Lu Xiaotian and the lotus avatar would likely be in danger. Simply merging their bodies and souls wouldn't be enough to counter such a formidable opponent.

He learned about the ghost qi from a corpse, and right now, he only knew Yu Ya who was beside him. If the White-Eyed Ape King escaped, since there was a third party involved who knew, and it wasn't someone under his control, then it was very likely that more people would know.

The Nine Palaces Heavenly Yin Profound Ghost Formation is crucial to Lu Xia Tian's plan against Ye Qian Xun. Lu Xia Tian absolutely won't allow any flaws.

Ye Qianxun's methods Lu Xiaoxiao had experienced firsthand. Dealing with someone who was terrifying in both strength and cunning, even if one made no mistakes, they might not escape being seen through by the other party. Let alone letting Bai Mu Yuan Wang, this insider, escape. Who knows what kind of consequences might arise later

Maybe Lu Xiaoxian was just being overly cautious, but when it came to dealing with Ye Qianxin, Lu Xiaoxian was willing to pay any price to plug up all the loopholes. Do one's best and accept fate. If even one couldn't control their own affairs perfectly, wanting to deal with Ye Qianxin's true self would be like a fool's dream.

Therefore, even if it meant paying the price of being severely injured by another avatar soul, Lu Xia Tian would force the White-Eyed Ape King to stay.

“Master, are you alright” Yu Ya walked up, wanting to help her master. In Yu Ya’s eyes, her master being able to consecutively defeat powerful enemies had far exceeded her imagination. To slay such formidable foes, there was bound to be a price to pay. And the current master, besides that lotus blossom avatar, was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Under the heavens, besides her master, who else could achieve such feats

"Take some time to rest. I need to recover, you protect me." Lu Xia Tian shook his head. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, recovering from the immense expenditure of the continuous battles. In this void, there was no absolutely safe place, nor a better shelter. Instead of wasting time looking for a better haven, it's more efficient to conserve time and recover on the spot.

"Yes, master!" A trace of a smile flashed across Yu Ya's face, but her heart was filled with sadness. She maneuvered among the powerful, and naturally knew that even at this point, Lu Xiaottian's strength was far beyond her reach. Her role as his protector was merely a psychological comfort to her.

Although it cost him a considerable price, Lu Xia Tian thought it was still worthwhile.

Besides the discarded Flametail Kitsune, the combined essence of the Monkey-Faced Four-Winged Mantis is recoverable. My main body has almost recovered, and my Lotus avatar has long since returned to its peak. At this time, the Lotus avatar's realm is one level higher than my main body, and its recovery speed is slightly faster.

Although consolidating the realm through lotus avatars is not a one-day accomplishment, given the current situation, even with just his main body and lotus avatar, Lu Xia Tian could protect himself against powerful beings like Sanzang Corpse Ape and Bai Mu Monkey King, even without the use of the Fusion Soul Technique powered by a late-stage demon beast's soul. This eliminated his reliance on external objects, bringing Lu Xia Tian a sense of relief.

Lù Xiǎo Tian's divine sense moved, the lotus flower split into multiple figures and began to fade, then merged with its original body.

And handed over the Sumeru rings of Sanzang Corpse Ape and Bai Mu Yuan Wang to Ya Dai for sorting. There were actually five strands of Xuan Gui corpse qi inside. Lu Xia Tian already had enough Xuan Gui corpse qi in his hands to refine Jiu Que Lock, so these five strands of Xuan Gui corpse qi weren't very useful to him.

But in case there is some waste during the process of refining the Nine Nether Locks, it can also be kept on hand for emergencies.

During the time Yu Ya was tidying up, her hand suddenly trembled. Lu Xiaotian's eyes swept over. Only to see Yu Ya took out a silver bell from her hand. The surface was covered with a layer of dirt. There were a few small bells on it, connected together by a delicate chain. Even though it was covered in dirt, the bell looked unusually exquisite.

"So, you know the history of this bell"

"Heavenly Demon Soul-Capturing Bell!" Yu Ya received the bell, covered in grime, as if it were a priceless treasure. She knelt before Lu Xia Tian and bowed deeply. "Please, Master, bestow this bell upon your servant."ther. If you encounter danger that even I can't handle, you'll just have to fend for yourself. 。"Lu XiaTian was taken aback, but quickly agreed. Taking this eight-legged demon bull beast didn't resul...
