Chapter 5254: Holding Positions Within the Array

aside these concerns, the Magnetic Stone might not necessarily help someone break through to the Nascent Soul stage on their own. Taking a risk for such a valuable formula is completely worthwhile...."Then let's give it a try. My previous encounter with Immortal Shi Jing was too brief, and I didn't get to experience the true extent of his divine power. This time, let's have a good fight." Lu Xia Tian remained calm, and as soon as he finished speaking, a mighty Buddhist chant echoed out.

The stone Buddha statue floating in mid-air suddenly seemed to come to life.

Lu Xia Tian's body was enveloped in a purple-gold Buddha light that spread outwards. The stone sculptures of Buddhas in the void greedily absorbed the purple-gold Buddha light.

“Retreat!” Shi Jingxian’s face changed. Although he believed his cultivation was superior to Lu Xiaoteng’s by quite a bit, he was unwilling to engage in a life-or-death battle with Lu Xiaoteng in this unfamiliar and unpredictable environment.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The other party hasn't been able to eliminate Shi Jing's spirit yet, and there will still be opportunities to intercept Lu Xia Tian later.

For such a powerful and cunning opponent, a momentary miscalculation is nothing to be ashamed of. Laughter at the end is what truly signifies victory. “Wanting to leave won't be so easy. Thousand Buddhas Forest!” Lu Xia Tian let out a low growl. In fact, Shi Jingxian Jun’s reaction was extremely fast; even with his cultivation level, if Lu Xia Tian had tried to directly trap Shi Jingxian Jun at this moment, the possibility wouldn't have been high.

However, it wouldn't be easy for the Yuan Rong demon monk, Guangyang Palace Master, Bai Ze Demon Emperor, Jade Bone Armadillo Demon, or even He Ting Immortal Venerable to escape this place.

As soon as Lu XiaTian's voice fell, the surrounding Buddha statues seemed to be imbued with new life, moving slowly and gracefully around them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, massive palm shadows struck down upon the crowd surrounded by Buddhas. Or they charged directly with their Buddha bodies.

Shi Jingxian had the opportunity to join the fray just now, but he also couldn't easily abandon the several Yuan Rong demon monks.

Besides the Jade Bone Armadillo Demon, this is also a powerful figure at the realm of four primordial spirit bodies. Following him into the Buddha Realm, if all of them were to perish here, even he, as a celestial sovereign, would undoubtedly suffer a heavy loss.

After returning, it is bound to face considerable criticism and even lead to a decline in personal fortune.

If it were possible to capture and kill Lu Xiaottian, then the price paid would be worthwhile. However, now Shi Jingxianjun has no way of controlling Lu Xiaottian.

The opponent has an overwhelming advantage in terms of geographical location within this Buddhist domain. Even a slight lapse in concentration on his part could lead to being outmaneuvered by the opponent. Or perhaps falling into this grand formation of the Buddhist sect isn't considered a major oversight. The opponent most likely discovered the existence of Shi Jing's spiritual image long ago; whether they can remove it is one thing, but what can be confirmed now is that Lu Xia Tian deliberately used Shi Jing's spiritual image to lure them here. Perhaps the seemingly natural process before this was all intentionally shown by Lu Xia Tian.

They were a group of six, each older than Lu Xiaoteng by an unknown amount. Surprisingly, they had all been fooled by him. This guy was not only remarkably skilled but also cunning and shrewd, his mind perhaps even surpassing that of any one of them.

“Damn it, I've been tricked by this guy.” Rongyuan, the demon monk, reacted first, feeling a deep dread towards Lu Xiaoteng.

"What are you afraid of We have so many people here, how can we be afraid of a mere Eastern Saint Don't even talk about this Buddhist formation; even the heavens would tear a hole if it dared to stand in our way." The Jade Bone Devil roared, his eyes fierce, a nameless fear rising within him towards Lu Xiaotian, but after that fear came a wave of hysteria. Watching Lu Xiaotian seemingly fall into a doomed situation, he never expected such a sudden turn of events.

The jade bone pangolin waved his hand and slashed out with a knife. The domineering blade swept out, bang bang bang...

Dozens of stone statues of Buddha had been severed in two. However, Lu Xiaoteng chose this location to intercept Shi Jingxian and the others. He had anticipated the worst-case scenario from the beginning and even factored in Shi Jingxian's plan.

Lu Xia Tian had encountered quite a few Immortals of the Xian Jun level. Before retreating to the Buddhist realm, he even had a brief exchange with Shi Jing Immortal Monarch. He had a certain understanding of this level of power and wouldn't make any misjudgments.

This Buddhist formation wouldn't be broken by this Jade Bone Devil's single attack.

>

The Jade Bone Devil was about to seize the opportunity of this sword's power to rush towards Lu XiaTian, aiming to capture the king first and leave no chance for Lu XiaTian to react. Just as the Jade Bone Devil was about to fly past, the shattered stone carvings began to heal, and the flaws in the formation were restored to their original state. A series of palm strikes followed behind it. These palm strikes appeared chaotic at first glance, but there was actually a hidden order within them.

The fist intent was dense, and the jade bone pangolin demon's heart skipped a beat. It turned around and struck with a blade. With a deafening roar, the clash of forces reverberated. The palm shadows were broken one after another, but several cunningly aimed strikes pierced through the gaps and landed on the jade bone pangolin demon.

Palm strikes continuously landed on the Jade Bone Armadillo Demon's body, but the attack power seemed relatively limited. Even after being struck several times, the Jade Bone Armadillo Demon didn't show much discomfort, only shaking its body a few times.

The Jade Bone Armadillo demon was astonished. He had expected to be seriously injured, but it turned out to be only slightly worse than an itch.

At the same time, several palm shadows struck He Ting Xianzun, who had been seriously injured while passing through the Buddha Domain restriction. Even with the treatment of high-grade five-tier healing immortal pills, his strength recovered to about 70-80% compared to others. In this situation where everyone was attacked about the same, the two with relatively weaker strength naturally took the hit first. "Be careful, these are Soul Chasing Buddha Shadows. They are similar in nature to my Stone Spirit Shadow Spirit. Dongfang Dansheng will find it difficult to control the formation to deal with so many of us, he will inevitably have to make choices and concentrate his efforts on breaking through."

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

Then, use this soul-chasing Buddha shadow to attract the automatic attacks of your formation.” Shi Jingxian reminded Yu Guyu Mo and He Ting Xian Zun. "How do we get rid of the soul-chasing Buddha shadow" Yu Guyu Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked Shi Jingxian for advice on defeating the enemy. At this moment, his confidence in Shi Jingxian couldn't help but waver slightly. He didn't think that Shi Jingxian would be killed by Lu Xiaotien inside the formation.

But Lu XiaTian's methods were somewhat beyond expectations. Under such chaos, even Shi Jing Xianjun would find it difficult to take care of everything. In a chaotic battle, there must be loopholes. It is predictable that at a critical moment, Shi Jing Xianjun will inevitably lean towards He Ting Xianzun and Rong Yuan Yaoseng, the powerful figures brought over from Yu Xuan Heavenly Court. At that time, he is very likely to become an abandoned pawn. Among all the strong people who broke into this place, his situation was undoubtedly the most dangerous. Yu Gu Yushu felt a wave of annoyance, it seemed he had overestimated Shi Jing Xianjun, or underestimated Lu XiaTian. If he had known this beforehand, he would never have easily pledged allegiance to Shi Jing Xianjun's command.

Before, he was only seriously injured by Lu Xia Tian. Even if he spent a lot of effort to recuperate, besides wasting energy, it wouldn't be fatal for a while.

Now, the Jade Bone Armadillo Demon has a feeling that it could be killed at any moment.

"Using one's internal immortal essence and divine consciousness to conduct a simultaneous search, eliminating the hostile. Dongfang Dansheng acting hastily with this method, should not be difficult to discover." Shijing Xianjun immediately pointed out Yu Guyu Demon, He Ting Xianzun searching for the way to track down the Soul-Chasing Buddha Shadow.

With Shi Jingxian's sharp eyesight and insight, it didn't take him long to point out the two who were afflicted by the soul-chasing Buddha shadow. However, expelling it required their individual strength. At this time, both Yu Gu Yushu Demon and He Ting Xianzun were under relentless attacks from the continuous siege of the formation. Wanting to free themselves to dispel the soul-chasing Buddha shadow was nearly impossible. They were even so overwhelmed by the constant onslaught that they struggled to cope for a moment.

The countless stone carvings of Buddhist figures were all around. Yuan Yao Seng discovered that a single blow could shatter these figures, preventing them from regrouping, otherwise the effect of their previous attack wouldn't be very significant. Shi Jing Xianjun acted like a firefighter at this moment, constantly resolving the dangers faced by Bai Ze Yaohuang and his companions. While battling the stone carvings, he also led everyone to break out. However, after chasing Lu Xiaoteng for quite some time, they had already gone deep into the formation. Now it was difficult to retreat. Om! Lu Xiaoteng utilized his geographical advantage, merging himself with the Buddhist energy of this place. He was just sparring with Shi Jing Xianjun one moment, and the next he suddenly appeared on the left side of Guangyang Dianzhu, unleashing a powerful Dà Fàn Tiān Town Demon Seal.

The master of Guangyang Palace, wielding the Guangyang Sword, was about to strike a stone Buddha statue when he was suddenly caught off guard by Lu Xia Tian's sneak attack.

"Damn scoundrel, you dare to move under my very nose!" Shi Jingxian's heart was filled with rage. Lu Xiaoteng actually dared to be distracted during their duel and even withdrew to deal with others – this was a blatant display of contempt for him.

Shi Jingxian Jun stretched out his finger and flicked it, a point of stone qi appeared in the void, directly transforming into a giant hand, which instantly grabbed the Great Brahma Demon Subduing Seal that Lu Xia Tian had struck down.

There was a blast in the giant's hand, and Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation level was indeed inferior to Shi Jingxian Jun's. Although Lu Xiaoteng's attack was extremely sudden, this blow was still blocked relatively completely.

Lu Xia Tian was startled. For a moment, he couldn't figure out how Shi Jing Xian Jun had pulled off this move. It seemed to appear out of thin air, with no warning.

He, the Immortal Venerable of Crane Pavilion, let out a long sigh. He had to admit, this was indeed a formidable attack from the immortal king. Lu Xiaoteng frowned, though surprised, he wasn't too disheartened. Even he hadn't detected the opponent's movements beforehand, which indicated an extraordinary technique. Within this Buddha Realm, an immortal king wouldn't be overly restricted, but such a method couldn't be used recklessly even by them.

Since it's impossible to break through for now, I might as well try to wear down Shi Jingxian. Even with his formidable strength, Lu Xia Tian didn't believe this guy could keep this up forever.

After making up his mind, Lu Xia Tian continued to duel with Shi Jing Xianjun. He then controlled the formation to constantly attack and restrain the several Rong Yuan demon monks. Whoosh! Lu Xia Tian once again used a trick, flashing to the side of Bai Ze Yao Huang and swung his般若金剛劍 down, seemingly about to severely injure Bai Ze Yao Huang. A clump of stone energy flickered beside Bai Ze Yao Huang, still forming a giant hand that reached up and caught the sword shadow in its palm, then squeezed tightly.

Lu Xiaitian's determined blow once again fell short. Aside from startling Bai Ze Yao Huang with a cold sweat, it yielded little else.

The stone Buddha statues in this thousand buddha forest contain extremely rare reconstituted fairy stones. Under the power of the formation, they are linked together and possess extremely powerful healing abilities.

Before Lu Xiaitian entered this place, the formation had been in a state of no master, and the qi inside was relatively chaotic. It couldn't operate at all.

Before entering the formation, Lu Xia Tian, relying on his powerful Yuanshen and the effect of the inherited Dan furnace, had long since divided a portion of his divine consciousness into the Thousand Buddhas Forest. He reconnected the formations in this place.

It would take at least a thousand years for Lu Xia Tian, with his mastery of formations and the help of the inherited Dan furnace, to fully restore this formation's power.

However, by utilizing the original foundation of the formation and expending any cost to activate it at full power for a short period, achieving 50% to 60% of its peak strength wouldn't be a problem. Under such circumstances, Lu Xiaoteng's personal consumption would be minimal. Although the initial probing attacks seemed futile and repeatedly broken by Shi Jingxianjun, Bai Ze Yaohuang and the others were shaken to their core. Now, they were practically jumpy birds, on edge.

Not only did Lu Xiaoteng see that Shi Jingxian's frequent rescues came at a certain cost, but even He Ting Xianzun and Bai Ze Yaohuang also noticed the worry in Shi Jingxian's eyes.

Shi Jingxianjun, if you continue to consume yourself like this, not only will you be unable to save Rongyuan Yaoseng and the others, but there is a possibility that you yourself could fall within this great formation.

Lu Xia Tian watched Shi Jing Xianjun's side with ease, a dignified array of stone Buddha statues around him continued to attack the enemy within the formation in an unbridled manner. "My affairs don't need your concern. Although your Thousand Buddhas Forest is powerful, it can only exert no more than five percent of its true power. Its recovery ability is limited. After a certain amount of loss, it will collapse and crumble. I want to see if your formation can hold."

Shi Jingxian remained unmoved. Both sides had already fought to this point, he naturally wouldn't be intimidated by Lu Xiaoteng's three words.

Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. A celestial being of this level was truly difficult to deal with. While his own consumption wasn't much, the formation constantly recovering the severed stone Buddha figures from the attack still drained him greatly.

After all, the number of enemies trapped in this large battle was too great, exceeding expectations.

Perhaps the large-scale collapse that Shi Jingxian said would occur towards the end of the battle may not happen. However, if one or two gaps were opened, Shi Jingxian would definitely be able to escape and take away several strong fighters.

However, even if this happened, it wouldn't have exceeded Lu Xia Tian's expectations. He hadn't thought that relying on just this formation alone could hold everyone back in the first place.

Being able to kill one or two people is already considered within expectations. At this time, both sides have suffered some losses. Facing the unfathomably powerful Shi Jingxianjun, Lu Xiaoteng didn't dare to continue testing the other party's patience.

We must make a breakthrough, otherwise, after this big battle, we'll have wasted so much energy for nothing. Having frightened the snake will make it harder to lure them into our trap again.

If Shi Jingxianjun had simply withdrawn, the possibility wouldn't even exist. Using his divine powers to manipulate the formation, Lu Xia Tian commanded the array as a dazzling Buddha light and towering stone statues of Buddhas appeared. Lu Xia Tian's physical form transformed into one of the Buddha statues within the formation. woman in green robes behind without a care. Such an action from the knight was indeed unexpected."What happened" Xu Suqin looked at Lu Xiaodao.“I'm not sure, this entire realm of illusory mist doesn'...
