Become a fairy alone
Chapter 5704 Confrontation
Lu Xiaotian's methods of manipulating the stars are primarily based on Buddhist principles. Given Cao Xier's level of cultivation, it's difficult for her to directly comprehend the subtle nuances of the laws governing Lu Xiaotian's actions. However, even a sliver of divine essence gleaned from the starry sky would be immensely beneficial to her. Ultimately, matters of cultivation depend on oneself; whether one can comprehend anything is anyone's guess.
As Cao Xier leaped forward, the starlight rippled like waves, continuously spreading into the space where the Moon Shadow Wilderness Forest was located.
With a slight movement of his divine sense, Lu Xiaotian caused the monks to materialize in the starlight. The Dharma Realm extended forward, and more and more Buddhist monks gathered into a large formation, advancing in groups within the starlight.
The moonlight opposite turned pitch black, and in this darkness, chaotic spatial fluctuations swept in. However, the illusory images of several giant cauldrons flickered in the moonlight, and these spatial fluctuations were neutralized.
Hidden in the shadows, the Ancient Demon Emperor felt a surge of anger. The Moon Shadow Forest was filled with numerous restrictions, among which the spatial restrictions were extremely powerful, making it quite difficult for even ordinary emperors to break through them.
Lu Xiaotian, who possesses the Five Void Heaven Cauldrons, is an exception. However, many of the formations in the Moon Shadow Wilderness Forest were set up in the past. Knowing that the spatial formations are not very useful to Lu Xiaotian, they can only take them over to consume them first.
Seeing that the powerful spatial array had little effect and could not stop the starlight from spreading, the Moon Sky Palace Master held the Dark Moon Sky Edict Banner and looked at the restrictions in front of him with shock and disbelief.
Behind him were dozens of demons, some of whom were his disciples and others his clansmen. He controlled all the spatial restrictions in this place and was here to intercept a powerful enemy on the orders of the Ancient Demon Emperor.
The Moon Palace Master initially had considerable confidence, but with the appearance of the Five Cauldrons, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The Moon Demon Shadow, hidden within the restrictions, was intimidated by the opponent's Buddhist aura, and the infinite variations of the spatial restrictions were greatly restrained under the Five Cauldrons.
Even if an Emperor-level expert directly attacked the restrictions here, the Moon Sky Palace Master was confident that he could stop them for a while. However, after actually fighting, he realized that he had thought too simply.
After the Ancient Demon Emperor returned, he completely cut off the Moonshadow Wilderness from the outside world. Apart from requisitioning a few elite demon troops on the spot, he couldn't spare any forces from other places to come over.
The entire Moonshadow Wilderness was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy. Although news was cut off and they were unaware of what was happening outside, the Moon Sky Palace Master, his disciples, and the elite members of his clan were not fools and understood what it meant.
The fact that a Demon Emperor was forced into his own core lair, and had no time to even care about the vast Demon Realm outside, shows just how badly the situation had deteriorated.
Even the Lord of the Moon Palace found it hard to imagine what powerful enemy they had encountered that made the once almost invincible Ancient Demon Emperor avoid them like the plague.
The Lord of the Moon Palace originally thought that the strength of the Ancient Demon Emperor gathered here was strong enough, and that even the strongest enemy would not dare to force their way in. However, the development of the situation completely exceeded expectations, and what seemed impossible actually happened.
Moreover, despite the overwhelming threat of a powerful enemy, he was unable to receive any instructions from the Ancient Demon Emperor. Not only the Moon Sky Palace Master, but also several other powerful figures of the same level in the Moon Shadow Wilderness shared the same doubts.
They desperately wanted to find out what was happening in the outside world, but due to the Demon Emperor's strict orders, they were temporarily unable to go out and were currently cut off from the outside world.
Despite the seemingly tight security, the Moonshadow Wilderness was already rife with undercurrents.
Even with the cunning of the Ancient Demon Emperor, it was not that he was unaware of this; however, he had no good solution. Without the Boundless Demon Blade, the Moon Shadow Wilderness was his last resort.
Deep in the desolate forest, a pair of deep and venomous eyes swept over the chaotic formation; he had been driven into a corner.
The spatial restrictions that form the first line of defense in the entire Moonshadow Wilderness are far from enough to stop the powerful Lu Xiaotian. At the same time, he doesn't want to completely keep Lu Xiaotian out. Only by letting him enter the Moonshadow Wilderness will he have a slight chance.
It's far too early for him to intervene. On one hand, he can't scare Lu Xiaotian away prematurely. On the other hand, the fact that he was injured by Lu Xiaotian's sword intent during their previous battle is secondary. The key issue is that the Wushi Demon Blade no longer recognizes him and completely dissipated, which put a considerable burden on his body.
While Lu Xiaotian was temporarily hindered by his army and the restrictions of the Moon Shadow Wilderness, he had to treat his injuries as soon as possible and restore his combat strength to its best level in the shortest possible time.
The fact that the Ancient Demon Emperor is temporarily unable to intervene determines Lu Xiaotian's level of power.
From the moment the Sky Heaven Cauldron appeared, these spatial restrictions began to crumble, and groups of Law-wielding monks poured into the broken spatial restrictions, advancing slowly and steadily.
Puff puff puff.
The array flags controlled by the array masters under the Moon Sky Palace Master exploded one by one due to the out-of-control spatial fluctuations, igniting flames. The terrifying spatial energy shot out in all directions like spider silk. The array masters hurriedly threw away the out-of-control array flags in their hands.
The Moon Palace Master, who possessed the highest cultivation level present, even attempted to suppress the unusual activity within the array flags with his cultivation. Busy with his work, the Moon Palace Master felt a surge of annoyance. Within the surging moonlight, it seemed that a junior at the Nascent Soul Ghost Body Realm was observing this direction.
This audacity goes beyond mere boldness; it's a blatant disregard for the entire Moonshadow Wasteland. So far, no large army has been seen attacking. Let alone a junior, even an Emperor-level expert would have no chance of conquering Moonshadow Wasteland single-handedly.
However, the Ancient Demon Emperor ordered them to focus on defense and absolutely not to engage in reckless battles, clearly showing extreme fear of the enemy.
"The Ancient Demon Emperor fled all the way from the Desolate Sea back to the Moon Shadow Forest, but now that you've arrived on your territory, why are you acting like a coward? It's truly shameful that a Demon Emperor would be so afraid to fight."
Within the constellation of stars, Lu Xiaotian's voice reverberated, and even layers of restrictions could not stop its propagation. The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, and the worst is to attack their cities.
Even with Lu Xiaotian's current strength, conquering the seemingly impenetrable Moonshadow Wilderness would be extremely difficult, and success in a short time would be impossible. However, the seemingly powerful Moonshadow Wilderness is also fraught with danger, though in the past, when the Ancient Demon Emperor was at his peak, he could naturally suppress all anomalies.
The biggest crisis in Moonshadow Wilderness now is not the lack of combat power within, but that the strength and prestige of the Ancient Demon Emperor are no longer enough to deter the entire situation.
The enemy's strength is one thing, but suspicion and even inexplicable panic are spreading. The Ancient Demon Emperor is not enough to quell it, which will invisibly reduce the fighting power of these troops.
"The tribe you led to the Desolate Sea has been completely wiped out, and now only a few elites remain, cowering in the Moonshadow Wasteland. You easily listened to the instigation of the Immortal Realm and rashly intervened in the war between my Dragon Clan and the Immortal Realm, slaughtering millions of Dragons. Now, the tribes you led to the Desolate Sea are paying the price for their actions. As the Demon Emperor, you should have the dignity of a Demon Emperor. If you had come out and fought me fairly, I would have respected you to some extent. But you forcibly dragged your most elite troops into the Moonshadow Wasteland, leaving the rest of your tribesmen to die and abandoning them like weeds. Such despicable behavior is truly admirable."
The outcome of the battle in the desolate sea has likely spread throughout the entire demon realm. However, the Ancient Demon Emperor fled too quickly, and it's estimated that the elite demons inside the Moonshadow Forest are still unaware of the events following the sealing off of the forest. To demoralize these demon armies, Lu Xiaotian won't hesitate to speak his mind.
"You little brat from the East, stop spreading your heretical words! I, the Emperor, await your arrival in the Moonshadow Wilderness. If you have the ability, then come and attack. If you don't, then retreat now. If I leave you in the Demon Realm, your entire clan will be slaughtered by the Immortal Realm in an instant!"
The Ancient Demon Emperor was both shocked and furious. Without the help of his elite troops, he was no match for the enemy. Lu Xiaotian's words, though seemingly casual, were like an invisible blade slicing straight into his vitals.
The demon tribesmen in the Moonshadow Wilderness were already in turmoil. Lu Xiaotian's words were like a boulder thrown into a pool of water. Although the tribesmen had not yet spoken, their hearts were already filled with turbulent waves.
Lu Xiaotian's words not only severely damaged his prestige but also transferred some of the demons' resentment onto him. If Lu Xiaotian were to attack without any explanation, the demons would be filled with indignation, and their combined fighting power would inevitably be much stronger.
However, when these demons learned that the Ancient Demon Emperor was insatiable and suffered heavy losses due to miscalculations, which also trapped them here, they realized that although they were both fighting against the same enemy, their mindsets were completely different.
"It's actually the Lord of the Dragon Realm!"
"Experts in the Heavenly Dragon Realm are said to possess the supreme bloodline of the True Dragon."
"No wonder even the Emperor could only flee back to the Moon Shadow Wilderness; it turns out he encountered such a terrifying enemy."
"It seems like the other side is determined to fight to the death. This is a big problem."
For a time, the millions of elite demons guarding the Moonshadow Wilderness were filled with different thoughts. They dared not speak out under the watchful eye of the Ancient Demon Emperor, but their divine senses intertwined, and the Ancient Demon Emperor could not control them for the time being.
"I have already moved the Dragon Domain into the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm. Last time, the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor personally led a large army to attack it, and the entire army was wiped out. Before the Immortal Realm can regroup its strength, it is enough to deal with you."
Lu Xiaotian said calmly, "A true strongman respects his opponent. You are already enraged and ashamed. The ultimate Wushi Demon Blade in your body has already collapsed. Strictly speaking, you are no longer worthy of being called the Demon Emperor. It is only a matter of time before someone else takes your place."
"Nonsense! Do you think you can sway Moonshadow Wilderness with a few arrogant words? If you really had the strength to attack, you wouldn't be racking your brains like this. Enough talk, come on then."
The Ancient Demon Emperor treated him coldly; he wanted to restrict and isolate Lu Xiaotian's voice, but he couldn't do it at all.
Unable to gain the upper hand through words, the Ancient Demon Emperor could only wait for Lu Xiaotian to make his move; it was absolutely out of the question for him to attack Lu Xiaotian now.
Fortunately, his most elite Vine Guards were stationed in the Moonshadow Wilderness. This army was the greatest source of confidence for him to control the vast demon realm. Even though the Moon Sky Palace Master and a few other demon warriors were not of firm will, the Vine Guards kept them in check for the time being, so they could not cause any trouble.
The accumulated power of the Ancient Demon Emperor over countless years cannot be easily overturned, not even by Lu Xiaotian.
"You are injured now, and I guess you don't dare to come out and fight. The blood of the dragon cannot be shed in vain. I will deal with your stubborn subordinates first, and then deal with you last."
Lu Xiaotian didn't expect to defeat his opponent with just a few words, but the effect was still quite significant. At least the restrictions in the Moon Shadow Wilderness showed obvious signs of loosening, and the flowing starlight indirectly penetrated the second layer of restrictions, which had considerable defensive capabilities.
As for the first spatial restriction presided over by the Moon Palace Master, it had already completely collapsed under the effect of the Sky Heaven Cauldron.
After all, it was the lair that the Ancient Demon Emperor had cultivated for countless years, which temporarily shook the morale of the enemy to some extent. Lu Xiaotian did not expect to make any breakthrough progress in a short period of time.
After dismantling the opponent's spatial restrictions, Lu Xiaotian did not completely destroy them. Instead, he used the Sky Emperor Cauldron to stabilize the space and began to repair some of the restrictions.
The repairs were temporary, and the restrictions couldn't be used to directly attack the demon army. At first, the demons didn't pay much attention, just curiously watching Lu Xiaotian guide the restrictions to form spatial vortexes. Then, the stars successively entered the vortexes, and when they came out of the vortexes, the stars of different sizes suddenly increased their speed and bombarded the Moon Shadow Wilderness.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The violent impact slammed into the demon race's second defensive barrier, causing the earth to shake violently. A massive light screen rose from the edge of the Moonshadow Wasteland, filled with all sorts of demonic plants. When the celestial body bombarded it, the light screen surged and churned. The demonic plants inside were instantly shattered by the impact.
Many of the array masters responsible for controlling the second layer of restrictions vomited blood due to the backlash from the array. A few with lower cultivation levels or those who suffered greater backlash directly fainted.
The Oak Rock warriors guarding one side of the light barrier felt a chill run down their spines at the sight. The first wave of impact had been temporarily blocked, but even more densely packed celestial bodies were gushing out from the spatial vortex.
Their original spatial restrictions not only failed to serve their intended purpose, but instead became sharp weapons in the hands of their opponents. As expected of the Lord of the Dragon Realm, his methods were truly astonishing.
I had only heard rumors about the other person before, but when I actually faced them in person, I realized how terrifying they were. It was a terrible experience; it was terrifying.
The demon tribesmen of Moonshadow Wasteland are indeed formidable in combat. They may be able to withstand Lu Xiaotian's attack later, but they certainly cannot hold their second line of defense. Once the Oak Seal Earth Array is broken, these Oak Rock Clan warriors will undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow.
Having discerned Lu Xiaotian's intentions, they were unable to mount a proper counterattack for the time being. They could only watch as the situation continued to deteriorate, and even as death drew ever closer, while they were powerless to do anything about it.
"Lord Moonlight Palace, the impact of those celestial bodies is terrifying, especially after being amplified by those spatial restrictions. Their power is overwhelming. At this rate, the second line of defense will likely be breached sooner or later." Chief Oak Rock glanced to his left. (End of Chapter)
