Become a fairy alone

The giant Buddha phantom struck the vital point of the formation, instantly creating a gaping hole in the massive black crows, which also enveloped the Ancient Demon Emperor.

Lu Xiaotian broke the formation too quickly, far exceeding expectations. The Ancient Demon Emperor was caught off guard and hastily struck out with a palm, colliding with the Buddha seal.

During their exchange, the Ancient Demon Emperor originally intended to repel the opponent, but unexpectedly, it was as if he was stuck to it, with layers of Buddhist seals surging in like countless waves.

What a powerful Buddhist alliance! By fusing two sacred Buddhist artifacts, they unleashed the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage" technique, with Lu Xiaotian at its core, as countless lotus flowers intertwined to form profound Buddhist patterns.

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Weaving Divine Power!" The Ancient Demon Emperor's heart pounded wildly upon seeing this technique. It was only because Lu Xiaotian's cultivation had reached a sufficient level, possessing two seeds of the Great Dao of Laws, that he could now unleash such magnificent Buddhist supernatural powers. After the merging of Buddhism with Lu Xiaotian, the Buddhist divine abilities he displayed were already quite grand, on par with the two strongest figures of Buddhism before its decline. In fact, Lu Xiaotian seemed to possess an even deeper foundation.

The Pure World Lotus, the Boundless Black Lotus, and the Ye Fire Red Lotus intertwined in the form of a myriad of Buddhas' divine weaving, their power so great that they opened up a Buddhist domain in this strange space. The Dragon Soul Flying Sword seemed ready to strike at any moment, its fierce expression filling the eyes of the Ancient Demon Emperor.

Two of the three great formations were directly broken open. The third formation hadn't even been activated yet when it felt like it had been breached. However, these formations weren't destroyed; they were just temporarily put into a semi-stagnant state by Lu Xiaotian's methods.

The first two attempts, despite having the advantage of a large demon army and the assistance of several demon lord-level experts, failed to succeed.

At this moment, taking advantage of the terrain near the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, Lu Xiaotian only temporarily managed to forcefully open a gap in the three formations, as the opponent did not actually leave the formation.

Previously, the Ancient Demon Emperor had not noticed Lu Xiaotian's method of breaking the formation. However, as the battle between the two sides intensified and the opponent had already taken action to break the formation, he discovered that Lu Xiaotian had used the laws of space to pry open the gap in the formation.

The formation can still be repaired! There will still be a chance for this great battle to turn around. As long as we withstand the pressure and trap Lu Xiaotian within several formations, there will still be a chance to kill him.

Once he breaks free, the Ancient Demon Emperor is confident he can escape as well. Lu Xiaotian is stronger than him, so it will be difficult for him to completely intercept and kill him.

He went to great lengths to trap Lu Xiaotian here, intending to kill him and seize his fortune, or at least severely injure him to salvage some of it. Returning in disgrace this time, even if the news didn't spread, would be a huge blow to the Ancient Demon Emperor's confidence. His fall from the throne was inevitable.

This is something the Ancient Demon Emperor absolutely cannot accept. In a head-on clash, he is no match for Lu Xiaotian, but he still has the Boundless Demon Blade!

As a celestial emperor, he had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and he was by no means lacking in decisiveness. He would never accept fleeing back to the demon realm in such a sorry state and becoming a laughingstock.

Countless lotus flowers descended in the direction of the myriad Buddhas weaving, while the Ancient Demon Emperor himself was also restrained, with one Buddhist seal after another appearing endlessly.

Having made up his mind, a terrifyingly sharp aura emanated from him. Before the two sides had even fully clashed, the intimidating aura emanating from the Myriad Buddhas Divine Weave was quickly suppressed.

The blade slashed down, tearing a large gash in the seal formed by countless lotus flowers. Without needing to destroy all the lotus flowers, the Ancient Demon Emperor's longsword, held horizontally in front of him, slowly floated out from the gash in the next instant.

The Ancient Demon Emperor looked at Lu Xiaotian coldly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. In the past, when Lu Xiaotian saw him use the Boundless Demon Blade, he immediately fled without thinking and did not confront him directly. It was only because the other party reacted quickly that he managed to escape with his life.

Although his luck had been somewhat diminished by the two consecutive battles, and his connection with the Boundless Demon Blade was no longer as seamless as before, his combat power still saw an astonishing increase once the Demon Blade was unleashed.

At this moment, Lu Xiaotian did not run away, but stood calmly on the opposite side, clearly intending to fight him.

"Dragon Lord, you have quite the audacity. Or rather, dragons with sufficient cultivation are generally quite arrogant. The Heavenly Dragon that perished under my demonic blade back then was just like you."

The aura of the Boundless Demon Blade rippled outwards, bringing an unprecedented sense of peace to the Ancient Demon Emperor's heart. Out of respect for Lu Xiaotian as an enemy, he now addressed Lu Xiaotian with a respectful title. His greatest fear in using the Demon Blade was that Lu Xiaotian would risk everything to escape, thwarting his plans once again.

The Ancient Demon Emperor now stands at the gap in several formations, not in a hurry to take action, but slowly repairing the formations.

Although Lu Xiaotian was skilled and had unexpectedly broken through the formation, the time was still short and the destructive power of the formation was still very limited. If he could just trap Lu Xiaotian inside the formation, he would have succeeded halfway.

"It was a pity that I was unable to fully experience the power of the Boundless Demon Blade last time. If you are confident in yourself, you don't need to use such a large formation."

"The Dragon Lord's ability to protect himself is truly remarkable, and I dare not underestimate him in the slightest. In order to avoid a repeat of what happened last time, I must first trouble the Dragon Lord to stay in the great formation for a while." The Ancient Demon Emperor chuckled.

With the advantage of the Boundless Demon Blade, he now blocked the gap in the formation, confident that he could hold off ten thousand men. Once the Boundless Demon Blade was unleashed, the tide of battle turned in his favor.

Once the formation is repaired, he can slash at Lu Xiaotian, or if Lu Xiaotian can't hold back and attacks him, the Ancient Demon Emperor can wait patiently and calmly break through Lu Xiaotian's defenses.

In fact, the old devil's strategy was quite successful. If Lu Xiaotian didn't want to be trapped by the other party, he had to make a move at the right time.

The Ancient Demon Emperor wielding the Boundless Demon Blade posed a deadly threat to Lu Xiaotian at this moment, but Lu Xiaotian was also quite looking forward to this battle with the old demon. He dared not even fight the increasingly weakened Boundless Demon Blade; how could he face the Four Heavenly Emperors later?

There are definitely more than just the Ancient Demon Emperor who want to gain an advantage from the Dragon Clan. Lu Xiaotian is not going to force the killing of the Ancient Demon Emperor for the time being. If he does not severely injure the opponent, it will be difficult to deter other restless forces.

This was the first real confrontation with a realm-suppressing artifact, and Lu Xiaotian's expression was more solemn than ever before. He reached out and summoned the Fanglong Soul Flying Sword, slowly slashing it towards the opponent.

Sword light streaked through the air, and lightning dragons surged. The lightning wasn't intense, but the immense power it contained was astonishing. The Ancient Demon Emperor's gaze shifted several times. Had it not been for the Boundless Demon Blade in his hand, he wouldn't have wanted to confront Lu Xiaotian head-on. The more crucial the moment, the more cautious one needed to be. This time, the Ancient Demon Emperor had already made a desperate gamble and couldn't allow any mishaps. The demon blade lightly slashed out, and with a soft hum, the blade's light slowly cleaved through the sword light, heading straight for its opponent.

Lu Xiaotian summoned the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needles, and the five needles shot towards the blade's light one after another. The law fluctuations corresponding to each flying needle were perfectly integrated, colliding densely with the blade's light. When a flying needle could not withstand the pressure, it would quickly switch to the next flying needle. As the five needles rotated, from a distance, it looked as if a five-colored light wheel was formed.

After the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle merged with the Five Thunder Arrows and incorporated the essence of the Boundary-Breaking Divine Thunder, it was still insufficient to resist the power of the Boundless Demon Blade. However, with the two buffers in front and behind, the sharpness of this blade light was greatly reduced.

Lu Xiaotian threw a punch, and the dragon shadow roared, shattering the remaining power of the blade's edge.

The Ancient Demon Emperor was deeply shaken. In such a short time, his opponent had already acquired the strength to directly confront the Primordial Demon Blade. The Heavenly Dragon, possessing two seeds of the Great Dao of Laws, was truly terrifying.

Although the Boundless Demon Blade in his hand was weaker than when he first used it, and he hadn't yet used his full strength, Lu Xiaotian appeared calm and composed, especially since the Dragon Soul Flying Sword in his hand was far from reaching its limit. The five Void Heaven Cauldrons could also be used as a buffer at crucial moments. Since his opponent still hadn't used them, this battle was likely to be far more difficult than anticipated.

Facing Lu Xiaotian, who fought fiercely and refused to retreat, the Ancient Demon Emperor once again swung his blade, slashing down one after another. The towering ancient trees around him grew rapidly, and a large number of demonic vines spread out, wandering around like serpents. In a short while, they had already filled most of the array space.

The Dharma Realm cultivated by the Ancient Demon Emperor then expanded outwards, attempting to encircle Lu Xiaotian in this way, trapping him completely within the great formation, and gradually cutting off all of Lu Xiaotian's escape routes.

Both sides had reached a certain level of cultivation and had fought twice in succession. They had gained a considerable understanding of each other and could now discern each other's intentions.

Lu Xiaotian naturally couldn't allow the other party's Dharma Realm to merge with the great formation so easily. With a slight movement of his consciousness, the Dharma Mirror Immortal Tree appeared within the great formation.

All around, Buddhist lotuses, silver-leaved paulownias, and golden-leaved orchids grew at an astonishing rate, with demonic energy, Buddhist aura, and the murderous aura of the dragon race constantly intertwining. Buddhist sacred objects and various demonic plants were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand for a time.

However, a slight change occurred on the side of the Magic Mirror Immortal Tree. After several clashes with the Boundless Demon Blade, the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needles were slightly shaken. In addition, the Magic Mirror Immortal Tree was under pressure from the power of the formation and was also the core of the siege by many demonic plants. For a time, the situation on the side of the Magic Mirror Immortal Tree's illusory image was quite critical, and the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needles were also showing signs of exhaustion. Lu Xiaotian took the opportunity to withdraw the flying needles to the area of ​​the Magic Mirror Immortal Tree's illusory image.

However, as soon as the flying needles approached the Immortal Tree of the Magic Mirror, the power of the Five Elements Laws within the Immortal Tree and the flying needles resonated to a certain extent, and the shock that the five flying needles had just experienced quickly subsided.

The flying needles danced around like locusts, leaving only tiny, barely perceptible holes in the various demonic plants they passed through. However, the divine consciousness within the demonic plants was shattered, and they withered away at a visible speed.

Normally, these demonic plants would be no match for Lu Xiaotian. However, with the emergence of the Boundless Demon Blade, not only did the Demon Emperor's attack power increase dramatically when he swung the blade, but the power of the Great Law Seed within the Demon Emperor's body, after being fused with this power, was enough to affect every aspect of his being.

Many of the demonic plants are significantly more terrifying than those from the previous battle outside the Six Extremes Dragon Palace.

With a whoosh, Lu Xiaotian's true form vanished, replaced by figures flickering within the twelve passages. Lu Xiaotian used the Sky Heaven Cauldron as a base to unleash the Sumeru Twelve Demon-Slaying Sword Formation.

With the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle temporarily withdrawn, Lu Xiaotian faced even greater pressure and had to resort to stronger methods to neutralize the power of the Beginningless Demon Blade.

Compared to the past, the Twelve Paths of Sumeru are no longer limited to the laws of space. Lu Xiaotian's mastery of the laws of space alone is not enough to compete with the current Ancient Demon Emperor. He must strengthen himself in other aspects.

The Ancient Demon Emperor intended to repair the formation, naturally intensifying the conflict between the two sides. He unleashed his swordsmanship to its peak, even surpassing his previous battles against the ancient dragon race.

At that time, the Immortal Realm held a dominant position and had already gained an overwhelming advantage over the Dragon Clan. Under this overwhelming trend, even if the Dragon Clan had some notable figures, they were unable to reverse the situation. The Ancient Demon Emperor had experienced several great battles, many of which were fraught with danger, but none were as thrilling as the battle before him.

Even in the past, when the battle was fraught with danger, he was full of confidence. At that time, his influence in the Demon Realm was at its zenith. Now, if he were to lose the great battle, he would not be able to keep his throne.

The Desolate Blade Technique was brought to its extreme in his hands, with the infinite variations derived from the laws engaging in a full-scale struggle. The Law of Heaven and Earth clashed once again, and within this great formation, as the giant demon phantom and the blood-blue dragon shadow fought fiercely, many tough demonic vines also grew from their bodies.

These demonic vines relentlessly attacked the blood-blue dragon shadow, attempting to transform into binding ropes and tightly ensnare it. Having failed twice, the Ancient Demon Emperor's fortune had suffered a significant blow.

The Ancient Demon Emperor was indeed a powerful figure renowned throughout several realms. Among the countless beings in those realms, there were only a dozen or so at his level. The Demon Emperor was also a person of great fortune, and his talent and combat instincts were impeccable.

During this time, the Ancient Demon Emperor had been racking his brains for a way to deal with Lu Xiaotian. The Heaven and Earth Law, with its vines resembling demonic snakes, was a technique he had recently comprehended.

If Lu Xiaotian remains complacent with his previous advantages, he will undoubtedly be at the mercy of others.

However, Lu Xiaotian is no longer the same as before. As the Blood Azure Dragon Shadow moves through the heavens and earth, bolts of lightning surround his body. Whenever the vines touch a certain area, they are either pulverized by the lightning or affected by the blood energy within, causing their own blood vessels to become disordered.

In the clash between the laws of heaven and earth, Lu Xiaotian's side gained an increasingly clear advantage.

The battle between the two sides was not merely a clash of swords; it was a battle that embodied the very essence of heaven and earth. With each swing of the demonic blade and flying sword, the force manifested the grandeur of the universe, the workings of its laws, and a clash of powers that traced back to the very origin of creation.

Law-based dragon soldiers and law-based demon soldiers also appeared in large numbers, and in an instant, the array space and the Dharma Realm became a vast battlefield. This kind of battlefield combat not only tests the control of the laws, but also the understanding and application of battle formations. As the scale of the battle increased, the test of the primordial spirit became particularly obvious.

This battle, while lacking the carnage of the previous encounter at the Six Extremes Dragon Palace, was no less dangerous and intense. Law-based dragon soldiers or law-based demonic soldiers were frequently cleaved in two, or succumbed to the immense pressure and exploded like fireworks before fading away. (End of Chapter)
