Chapter 5068: Retreat
ombat power for free.”Speaking of the Lotus Transformation, Wen Pu's face lit up with excitement. However, in Lu Xia Tian's view, there was a touch of pretense in it. But this Lotus Transformation did..."Damn it!" When he saw the fully bloomed boundless black lotus, Wu Yihuo's heart sank to the bottom. These methods alone couldn't completely restrain him, but the situation was already extremely critical at this moment. Even a slight delay meant that the situation could become even more uncontrollable.

While Lu Xiaitian's obstruction did indeed cause him great trouble at this time.

"Give me your destruction!" With a surge of rage fueled by his burning desire, Wu Yu opened his mouth and spat out a ghostly-white blade. The Azure-White Demonic Blade, enveloped in the flames of Wu Yu's will, slashed towards the boundless black lotus with streaks of phantom images.
The entire thing is pitch black, and the unbounded black lotus's petals spontaneously detach, fluttering upwards. It appears incredibly gentle, yet when facing the clash of the azure-white demonic blade, it exudes a strange sense of heaviness.
As it was continuously slashed by the azure-white demon blade, the dancing lotus petals started to show cracks of varying sizes.
Lu Xia Tian took a deep breath. The Limitless Black Lotus, as one of the secret transmissions of the Buddhist sect, was even more powerful than the opponent's cyan-white demonic blade.
It's just that Lu Xiaotian's cultivation and foundation in the Law Body are shallower than those of Wuyu Huoer. Under such a huge gap in strength, it is naturally unrealistic to completely block Wuyu Huoer.
With a deafening boom, the black lotus petals began to crumble in the continuous collision. The azure-white magic blade struck down with one blow, cleaving the shattered Wuxiang Black Lotus in two.
At this moment, as the giant patterns of light and shadow from the void and the ground intertwined, streaks of purple ice beams shot out from the ground, while blood-red light rained down from the void. A large amount of gray dust was directly solidified in mid-air, and even the terrifyingly chaotic aura of the Zhu Xianhu was suppressed for a short time.
With a face ashen from the flames of desire, Wu Yu's countenance was grim. Yet, with the tide of battle turning against him, there was no room for hesitation. He commanded his Sha Jia Mo Yong to charge, brandished his Zhuang Bian Xian Bian, and wielded his azure-white Demon Blade with every ounce of strength to hold the line.
The white-gold branches lashed back and forth, the azure magic blade slashed with speed. The alternating purple ice and blood-red beams were constantly shattered or cleaved, holding a precarious balance for a moment.
Lu Xia Tian and Yan Ping would certainly not miss such an opportunity. The seven Bodhisattva statues, with their eyes radiating brilliant light from the relic at their brow centers, also condensed their power into a Relic Subduing Demon Pearl. The blazing Relic Subduing Demon Pearl and Yan Ping's crimson flame pillar struck the Wantless Fire Salamander almost simultaneously.
A burst of white light erupted from the Zhu Xian Hu, shrouding its wielder. Despite the barrage of explosions, the defenses remained unbroken.
At this time, the soldiers under Huo Rong in Ye Yuan City were fighting fiercely, being wiped out at an astonishing speed. However, before that, the Bing Ye Cheng formation was damaged. It was Ye Yuanhao who ordered the elite death soldiers trained for many years with special methods to maintain the operation of the formation through the blood sacrifice technique, and forcibly raised the power of the formation to a higher level.
However, this comes at the cost of these assassins burning their lives. As the number of these assassins dwindles, the duration that this awe-inspiring formation can be maintained becomes less optimistic.
In this situation, regardless of whether it's Wuyu Huoren or Ye Yuanhao, Yanping, or Lu Xiaoteng, they all have to fight with all their might.
Dozens of golden Zen staffs struck, and even the Golden Gu demon monk who had been badly wounded before was now struggling to join in the attack on Wu Yu Huo.
The white light from the Zhúxiān Hú's attack was incredibly impressive in its defense, withstanding the combined assaults of Lü Xiāotiān, Yán Píng, and Jīn Gǔ Mó Sēng.
Boom, with the Yin-Yang Disarrayed Bagua Array's purple ice and blood-colored beams alternating. The Tainted Immortal Cauldron couldn't withstand it anymore, its white light scattering for a moment. The Heaven-Striking Painted Halberd and the Crimson Jade Flame Column simultaneously broke into the white light.
The look of panic appeared in Wu Yuhuo's eyes. In a rush, he used the Zhu Xian Hu to block his vital point, but was still slashed across the waist by Fang Tianhua Ji. His body, like Bing Baichang before him, was split in two.

Amidst the screams, several crimson flame pillars struck the body of Wuyu Huoerong. The firelight from the impact, along with the heavy blows, blasted apart Wuyu Huoerong's left arm and most of its upper body, leaving only its right arm connected to its head.
At this time, the face of the fire salamander, devoid of desire, was filled with pain and hatred. A mouthful of blood sprayed onto the turbid immortal jar.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light surged on the Zhu Xian Kettle. A white channel erupted, piercing through the barrier formed by the Yin-Yang Disrupted Bagua Formation and leading straight to the void outside Ye Yuan City.
By the time Lu Xia Tian reacted, his face was ashen, his spirit dejected. Only his right arm, connected to his head by a mere wisp of fire, remained. The limb held the turbid immortal flask, which he had withdrawn from the white light.
“Such a fine Ye Yuan City. Once this old man recovers his energy, he will definitely exterminate your Bing Ye Demon Clan!” Wu Yu Huo Rong said with hate, disappearing into the horizon in an instant. He must have used some secret technique to escape; even Lu Xia Tian couldn’t catch up.
Once one reaches the realm of "wu yu huo rong," holding even a precious artifact makes it incredibly difficult to be killed. Thankfully, he has already suffered heavy damage. Even if he wanted to cause trouble, his threat would be significantly reduced for a considerable period of time at least.
As for that Zhu Xian Hu, Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly dismissed the idea. The Wu Su Huo Rong's escape speed was too fast; he didn't have the time to pursue it. It would be a waste of time and effort, not to mention that if he wasn't careful, he might be surrounded by other strong cultivators sent by the Di Niao Mo Peng faction.
Compared to Lu Xiaoteng's calm, Ye Yuanhao was filled with resentment. It was a pity that he could no longer catch up to Wu Yu Huo Rong.
However, one of the most difficult ones has been dealt with. There are still a few left. Killing them wouldn't be enough to appease Ye Yuanhao's anger.

Lu Xiaotian's divine insight was profound. The majestic Dharmic form appeared directly around the devouring demonic blade.
As Qixing Longque's heart skipped a beat, she let out a silent exclamation of relief. Before Yan Ping and Ye Yuanhao could close in, the starlight on her Dragon Scale Star Sparrow shone brightly.
With a series of resounding clashes between the Qixing Longque's wings and the Fúnyún Shījǐ's spear, the two combatants pulled apart. After this brief exchange, the Qixing Longque flapped its wings once and swiftly vanished into the distance. It had anticipated this outcome and managed to escape with ease.
As soon as they had created some distance, the Concealing Eye Demon wasn't slow to react. Its demonic eye blinked, and suddenly, numerous enormous, ferocious eyeballs appeared in mid-air, sending shivers down one's spine. At the same time, the Concealing Eye Demon vanished without a trace.
"This guy is quite cunning," Ning Qinghe thought. She originally planned to hold back the Zangmu Demon, even if Wu Yuhuo escaped with serious injuries, he would still pose a great threat to everyone.
By shortening their wings as much as possible, the threats they face will naturally be reduced significantly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As things would have it, the plan did not go as smoothly as hoped. Though the Zangmu Demon was not prepared like the Qixing Longque had been, its reaction was indeed swift. The moment the Wuji Huoren withdrew its flaming body, the Zangmu Demon instantly summoned so many demon eyes.
These enormous demon eyes blinked, their swirling pupils causing divine awareness to become muddled. Ning Qinghe extended a finger, and the original three drops of Earth's Vortex Ming Water began to spin, transforming into flying needles that shot out in all directions.
These flickering single eyes all around were nothing but the One-Eyed Demon's desperate attempt to escape. Their defenses weren't strong at all. Now, under the onslaught of these sharp flying needles, they constantly burst and exploded. The splashing corrosive liquid was everywhere.
>
By the time most of these one-eyed monsters were broken, the Cyclops Demon had already staggered several times and was flying away in the distance. It was obviously a secret technique that he used to escape in a very short amount of time, but even with the one-eyes unable to be retracted, it still caused him some damage.
The Zangmu Demon grinned, blood smeared across his lips, and glared at Ning Qinghe with hatred before vanishing into the air.
With a clang, the Annihilating Demon Blade tried several times to break free, but was either blocked by Lu Xia Tian's Maha Prajna or repelled by Fang Tianhua halberd.
At this moment, the Devouring Demon Blade's energy was extremely corrupted. The Seven Star Dragon Bird and Zang Mu Demon Man managed to escape one after another. Only he was blocked. At this time, his surroundings were already surrounded by those demons, including Lu Xiaoteng inside. None of them would be weaker than him in a one-on-one fight.
Now that he's surrounded by so many powerful individuals, unless he can somehow sneak in unnoticed and strike without suffering serious damage, it's impossible for him to defeat all of them on his own.
It's just that he reacted a beat slow.
"Let me handle this!" Compared to Ye Yuanhao's rage was now off the charts. His wife had been grievously injured, left with only her head, and the entire Ye Yuan City was in utter chaos. Several wicked individuals had mostly escaped unscathed. Only this Shi Mie Mo Jian fellow remained, how could Ye Yuanhao possibly be willing to entrust this matter to someone else
At this time, the Fire Salamander has no desire to flee. Its underlings also did not cease their blood sacrifices. Most of the power of the great formation surrounding Ye Yuan City subsided, and Ye Yuanhao could only command a small portion of it. However, for the current situation, that was enough.
Streams of violet ice beams alternated, directly confining the space around the Devouring Demon Blade. No matter which direction it tried to flee, it would be met with immense resistance.
At this time, Ning Qinghe, Itachi Daoist, Yulishi, Yan Ping, and Lu Xiaoteng were all gathered around, they didn't need to worry about the other party being able to break out of such a heavy encirclement.
Right now, Ye Yuanhao has the absolute upper hand. Lu Xiaitian and his companions only need to block off any possible escape routes for their opponent.
As one of the former demon soldiers of Di Nuo Mo Peng, even as just a self-aware spirit, its strength was extraordinary. Especially the main material used to forge this Devouring Demon Blade was extremely rare.
Every demon lord's path to growth is mostly paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The Devouring Demon Blade, when it followed Emperor Yao Demon Lord, slaughtered millions of beings.
Even though he was currently being pressured by the lingering effects of the battle and Ye Yuanhao's offensive, forcing him into a disadvantageous position, his movements were still measured and controlled.
If it weren't being restrained by the formation, the Devouring Demon Blade would have been able to leave. Even with Ye Yuanhao's strength, he wouldn't have been able to stop it.
Just being surrounded by a group of powerful warriors led by Lu Xia Tian, the She Mie Mo Jian felt a growing sense of worry as time passed. Being caught in such a tight encirclement and having consumed a considerable amount of its strength due to the large formation set up by Ye Yuan Cheng, the She Mie Mo Jian increasingly struggled to keep up its momentum.
After a while, Ye Yuanhao's purple ice whip constantly struck the She Mie Demon Blade in his hand. Even though it was a powerful magic weapon, it began to struggle under such relentless attacks. The tide had turned, and as time went on, the She Mie Demon Blade endured even more blows.
With a series of resounding booms, the Devouring Demonic Blade began to crack and splinter. A horrifying shriek pierced the air as it finally exploded into countless fragments. The blade's spirit was also ruthlessly crushed by Ye Yuanhao's whip.
"I have only lost a portion of my flesh, as long as you give me some time I can still repair it. Husband, you don't need to be too angry." At this moment, Bing Bautang's head flew over.
“Although that’s true, the way to recover his physical body still makes a difference.” Ye Yuanhao had just killed the Devouring Oblivion Blade, and while the anger in his heart had subsided slightly, seeing his wife like this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Then Ye Yuanhao turned to Lu Xia Tian, “I didn’t expect a human Da Luo Jinxian would come to the Forget Soul Ruins, and even rarer, a rare Dan Saint. I wonder which rank is the Eastern Dan Saint”
“This Eastern Saint of Alchemy is truly remarkable, having overcome countless obstacles and defeated numerous Heavenly Court Saints along the way. He has successfully ascended to the fifth rank.”
Ning Qinghe introduced, among all the people present, she had known Lu Xia Tian the longest. In that dangerous environment just now, Lu Xia Tian took the initiative to help, fighting alongside everyone against Di Niao Mo Peng's subordinates, severely injuring Wu Yu Huo Rong and killing Shi Mie Mo Jian. If Di Niao Mo Peng investigated this, none of them could escape. From a certain point of view, they are now standing on the same side.
Refining seven bowls of the boneless Soul-Gathering Pill is crucial, as it allows one among them to ascend to the realm of a Yuan Shen being.
He didn't expect to truly be able to fight the Emperor Myriad Demon Peng, at least when facing the Emperor Myriad Demon Peng in the future, he wouldn't be completely helpless.
However, they weren't too afraid of the Di Xiao Mo Peng. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they would first target Lu Xia Tian. As for them, if they couldn't beat others in the future, they would just hide elsewhere. The demon world was so vast; the Di Xiao Mo Peng could only truly control a very small part of it. There were also many other powerful individuals who wouldn't give them face.
“Fifth Rank Pill Saint That's excellent. As for my wife's resurrection, I've already entrusted it to the Eastern Pill Saint. If the Eastern Pill Saint needs anything, just speak directly to me. I will do everything in my power to help.” Ye Yuanhao stared intently at Lu Xiaodao.
"While I'm not particularly skilled in demon-race medicinal herbs, if you need me to lend a hand, it shouldn't be much of a problem." Lu Xia Tian nodded in agreement.
Yè Yuánháo could establish himself in Wánghún Xū and rule over a domain. Apart from his formidable strength, he also possessed an indomitable spirit and would never yield easily to any powerful force. Otherwise, when he knew that Wúyù Huǒlóng was the emperor of Di Xiāo Mópéng's faction, he wouldn't have fought them to the very end.

The other party even dared to move against Di Shao Mo Peng. If there was no benefit involved, it wouldn't be hard to imagine the other party turning against them.
>
Even though Ye Yuan City suffered heavy losses during this upheaval, the magic city's formation foundation was damaged, and Ye Yuan's loyal followers trained from a young age were also severely depleted.
This battle resulted in casualties of several million, all of whom were the most elite warriors. However, the enemy's stronghold within the Forgotten Soul Ruins remains formidable.
Lu Xia Tian, facing the threat of the Di Niao Mo Peng at any moment, was unwilling to easily offend such a local snake.
"Alright, I'll take care of the materials and the alchemical formula. All I need is for the Eastern Alchemist Saint to lend a hand when refining the pills," Ye Yuanhao let out a breath of relief. He didn't even care if they could gather the best materials in the end. As long as Lu Xia Tian agreed, it would give him and his wife a lot more confidence.
"After such a great battle, you must all be tired. Rest for a while first. I'll tidy up the situation and then host a banquet to entertain you all." Ye Yuanhao looked at the Prison Lion and the others with slightly less courtesy.
Although the Wuyu Huo'ron had long plotted against Ye Yuan City, these fellows’ involvement in the Eastern Diversion of Calamity was too obvious. The two sides owed each other nothing. If not for Lu Xiaottian, a fifth-rank Dan Saint, Ye Yuanhao wouldn't even want to speak to them.and towards the back of his head, a blood-red magic talisman appeared, inscribed with a single character: "定" (ding). Within that "ding," several ferocious and terrifying demons seemed to be hidden."...
