Become a fairy alone

"Dragon Lord, don't be too anxious. Things will work themselves out. Besides, we have no way out now. If we scatter and try to escape, we'll only give the enemy a chance to defeat us one by one."

There are countless secret realms in this chaotic void, and the influence of the Five Elements Primordial Sect and the old monsters of the Dragon Clan has not yet covered all areas. I was able to escape from them back then, so naturally I will have the opportunity again now.”

"Fine, then I'll trust you one more time." Lu Xiaotian took a breath, looking rather impatient.

The group boarded the white jade magic boat one after another. The boat then submerged directly below, sinking into the churning soul liquid. In a short while, it vanished without a trace.

Moments after the white jade boat disappeared, a five-colored light wheel floated over, spinning, with four colorful figures looking down from it.

"This old monster actually forged the Tribulation Crossing Boat. In that case, it's not realistic for us to intercept him in a short time." Jing Yuan, the leader, frowned slightly, looking at the churning soul liquid below, and was extremely displeased.

After finally cornering the enemy in the Nagi Dark Soul Cave and spending a considerable amount of money to awaken the Nagi Soul Spirit, they formed a siege against Hunyuan Daozu, Lu Xiaotian, and the others.

Unexpectedly, the Primordial Dao Ancestor had made such preparations, using a chasm to temporarily escape the predicament.

"It's just a temporary reprieve. The Ferry of Calamity can only isolate the soul liquid from corroding the primordial spirit, but it cannot escape the attack of the Nagi Soul Spirit."

Another five-colored figure shook his head, "Even inside the soul liquid, those Nagi Soul Spirits move more nimbly and attack more powerfully. With an Emperor-level Spirit leading them, even you and I wouldn't be able to survive inside for long. Even if the three opponents are not weak, they definitely cannot hold out indefinitely. Let's just wait and see."

"Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes. If we have no other choice, we can only keep waiting. However, we have already used quite a few methods. I'm sure the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, whose strength is unfathomable, has its own way." The third five-colored person glanced in the direction of the dragon clan old monster as he spoke.

Before the words were finished, a golden dragon shadow broke through the thick fog and slowly swam over, arriving near the Five Elements Chasing Heaven Wheel in the blink of an eye.

"Two tigers cannot share one mountain, let alone two supreme dragons. The other party's potential seems to be even greater than yours. You should be more eager than us to get rid of this major threat. We've been charging ahead while you've been sitting back and reaping the benefits. That's not a good thing."

Jingyuan chuckled. In fact, he wasn't entirely without a way to track the Calamity-Crossing Ark. While he couldn't pinpoint its exact location in a short time, he could at least sense its general location. It was just that it consumed a considerable amount of energy.

The Ferry of Tribulation crafted by the Primordial Dao Ancestor was no ordinary vessel. Although they were well-prepared, they faced significant limitations in the Dark Soul Cave.

The Emperor's Spirit is not controlled by external objects. Right now, it is just attracted by Lu Xiaotian and Hunyuan Daozu. However, if they press too hard, it is very likely that some unexpected things will happen, and it is not impossible that the Emperor's Spirit's attention will be drawn back.

Although they had forced Hunyuan Daozu, Zishu Youying, and others into a rather sorry state, the five-colored people from Jingyuan had not completely let their guard down.

They were also quite wary of the power of the Primordial Dao Ancestor. Back then, they mobilized a large number of people to besiege and kill him, but they paid a huge price and he still managed to escape. Over the years, the Primordial Dao Ancestor's cultivation and strength must have far surpassed what they used to be.

When dealing with an enemy of this level, even the slightest carelessness or negligence could lead to a reversal of fortune.

In such a dangerous environment, preserving as much energy as possible is extremely important. Moreover, since the Dragon Clan elder had come to them to deal with Lu Xiaotian, and there were enemies of the enemy here, the Dragon Clan elder would naturally have to exert more effort.

“The Nagi Soul spirits here are relatively ordinary in strength, but they become quite troublesome after the appearance of an Emperor-level spirit. Let them fight to the death first. If we rashly intervene, we will not only fail to kill them, but we may also invite an attack from the Nagi Soul spirits.” The dragon shadow in front of him shook his head.

“In that case, just wait there. But you’ll have to put in a lot more effort later on. Our main task is to deal with that traitor, Hunyuan Daozu. As for the other so-called Dragon Lord, the Supreme Heavenly Dragon will have to handle that himself,” Jingyuan said.

In fact, they had been chasing Lu Xiaotian all the way using the Five Elements Soul-Chasing Technique, and they had also sensed the aura of the Hunyuan Scripture within Lu Xiaotian's body. Although his mastery in this area was not very high, and the opponent mainly relied on his strength as a dragon, the potential threat from the opponent was still enormous.

Once it cultivates the Dao Seed of the Five Elements Laws, combined with its current strength as a dragon, it will become even more difficult to deal with, perhaps even more troublesome than the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

Even if the old dragon monster in front of them couldn't do anything to Lu Xiaotian for the time being, or if Lu Xiaotian accidentally escaped, they would most likely still have to take action.

"Very well, this dragon race will naturally be left to me to handle." The old dragon monster nodded.

With a series of whooshing sounds, streaks of blade light flashed out, cleaving the Nagi Soul Dharma Spirits in two wherever they passed. Zi Shu Youying hurriedly stuffed another pill into his mouth; this was already his third.

The Ark of Salvation is mainly used to isolate most of the corrosive power of the Soul Liquid on the primordial spirit, but the attacks of the Nagi Soul Spirit basically still need to be dealt with by themselves. Relying entirely on the Ark of Salvation consumes too much energy, and in such a complex and harsh environment, it simply cannot last long.

For Hunyuan Daozu and Zixu Youying, having the Ferry of Tribulation to provide them with a place to stay was already a good thing for the time being.

The surrounding spirits continued to surge forward relentlessly. They moved even faster in the soul liquid, fighting and retreating. The Ferry of Calamity moved around in the soul liquid, breaking through the enemy's not-so-strict encirclement several times. However, this still could not prevent the number of spirits surrounding them from increasing.

"Damn it, why hasn't that Emperor-level spirit shown up yet?" Zi Xu Youying cursed in frustration. The aura of the Emperor-level spirit had appeared before, and the other party had been nearby. If it weren't for the fact that there was such an Emperor-level expert in command, given the number of enemies he had killed and the speed at which the Tribulation Crossing Ferry could move, he would probably have already broken through the blockade.

But now the number of demons around us is increasing, and the battle formations they form are becoming more and more rigorous. There is no other explanation than that the Emperor's Spirit is directing them nearby.

At this moment, the Ferry of Salvation had already submerged into a vast ocean formed by soul liquid.

Just as Zi Xu Youying was complaining, from the depths of the soul liquid, a red and green eye as large as a millstone appeared to the left front, looking greedily, fearfully, and ferociously at the two people and one demon on the white jade magic boat.

These three guys in front of him were incredibly powerful, and he wouldn't want to provoke them easily if he had a choice. He also didn't know what they were up to.

However, this is his territory. Ordinary Nagi-no-Tama spirits are of decent strength but have low intelligence and only desire to kill. As an Emperor-level spirit, he not only surpasses his peers in cultivation and strength, but his intelligence is also no different from that of ordinary people. In fact, he is even more cunning and dangerous than most living beings.

The fact that the other party appeared here out of nowhere suggests that they might have some ulterior motive.

These guys have now penetrated deep into the Soul Liquid, threatening his very foundation. He hasn't been at the Emperor Realm for very long, and his lair deep within the Soul Liquid is a place he absolutely cannot retreat from. If he loses the Soul-Sealing Earthly Marrow there, he might not be able to consolidate his current realm.

As the Ferry of Calamity continued to descend, the Emperor's Spirit felt a bad premonition; what he feared most had come to pass.

"Outsiders are not welcome here. You can still leave now," the Emperor's Spirit transmitted to the three Primordial Dao Ancestors.

"Here we have what we need. Hand over half of the Nagi Soul Earthly Marrow to us, and we can all live in peace," Hunyuan Daozu replied.

Knowing that this possibility was slim, but since the other party had spoken, they were clearly wary of them. If they could resolve the issue without resorting to violence, that would be ideal.

"Wishful thinking!" The Emperor's Spirit, with its single red and green eye, blazed with murderous intent. "So, you're determined to fight me to the death!"

"We are determined to obtain the Nagi Soul Earthly Marrow. If you interpret it that way, it's not entirely wrong!" The Primordial Dao Ancestor's voice was cold and hard.

He naturally knew the significance of this item to the Emperor's Throne Spirit, but the Five Elements Primordial Sect and the Dragon Clan Old Monster had already chased them outside. However, due to the extremely dangerous environment here, rashly getting involved would not only fail to capture or kill them, but the chaos would also give them a chance to escape.

The old monster of the Dragon Clan and the powerful figures of the Five Elements Primordial Sect remained calm and blocked the way outside. If they could not obtain the Soul-Sealing Marrow, they and Lu Xiaotian would be in an even more passive position.

For a moment, Zi Shu Youying didn't understand what Nagi Soul Earth Marrow was, but judging from Lu Xiaotian's expression, he wasn't very surprised, so it was clear that the other party knew as well.

Zi Shu Youying was somewhat displeased. These two were definitely hiding something from him. Most likely, Hunyuan Daozu thought his cultivation level was not high enough and had no intention of revealing anything to him.

"Since that's the case, then let's see how your methods are!" The Emperor's Spirit's face was grim. Everything else was negotiable, but this matter concerned whether his realm could be stabilized. The other party was tantamount to cutting off his path!
Before the words were even finished, thousands of red and green eyes began to surround him from within the hazy soul liquid.

Compared to before, these Nagi Soul spirits have clearly formed a battle formation.

Before the Dharma Spirit army could launch a direct attack, a fierce and terrifying battle aura swept across the land. Just by facing this aura, Zi Xu Youying couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

"Ancestor of Primordial Chaos, the enemy is coming in formation. I am no match for them on my own. I beg you to take action!" Zi Xu Youying said directly.

"Don't worry, since I've brought you all here, I've naturally made some preparations."

The Primordial Dao Ancestor sighed, "Originally, I intended to use this against the Five Elements Primordial Sect, but now I have no choice but to use it on these demonic creatures."

"Dragon Lord, I can only try my best to buy you time. In the end, the success or failure depends on your progress in refining the formation." After replying to Zi Xu Youying, Hunyuan Daozu sent another message to Lu Xiaotian.

"The method you provided isn't enough. Refining the array spirit alone is already extremely troublesome. We must obtain the Nagi Soul Earth Marrow as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to fully fuse the two arrays." Lu Xiaotian replied to the other party, and then seized the time to continue using his methods on the array spirit.

"Well, it's all up to human effort. Dragon Lord, do your best." The Primordial Dao Ancestor sighed slightly. Just as Lu Xiaotian said, the spirit of that formation was quite ferocious. Even though he provided a certain method, refining it was still quite difficult in practice. As for merging the two formations, that would be another huge test.

Roar!
Before the Primordial Dao Ancestor could finish speaking, thousands of Nagi Souls roared out simultaneously.

The enemy arrived in battle formation, and although the formation itself didn't appear very precise, the thousands of Nagi Soul Spirits were generally at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. Guided by the Emperor-level Spirits, their combined aura was astonishing.

Even the Primordial Dao Ancestor dared not underestimate it for a moment. The white jade magic boat was also insufficient to withstand such power.

As for Zi Shu Youying, under the impact of this violent soul power, she felt her primordial spirit tremble, and her body had become a seemingly useless shell. Her primordial spirit swayed inside, as if it would be shaken out of her body at any moment.

Zi Shu Youying was startled and quickly focused his mind, struggling to withstand the terrifying impact. At this moment, let alone counterattack, he felt that his body could no longer restrain his primordial spirit if he made even the slightest movement.

Having already experienced the opponent's power firsthand, Zi Shu Youying knew better than anyone what a terrible situation he would face once his primordial spirit left his body. Without the protection of his physical body, his primordial spirit would probably disintegrate completely after only a few impacts, and then be eroded away entirely.

This place is far more terrifying than some powerful demons and monsters. Once you are caught in its trap, there is no chance of your soul escaping.

If it weren't for the protective function of the Crossing Calamity Dharma Boat, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on by now, relying solely on his own cultivation level.

"With your current performance, it will be difficult for you to survive in the Nagi Dark Soul Cave."

Hunyuan Daozu glanced at Zishu Youying but showed no intention of helping her again. Lu Xiaotian was curious about Zishu Youying, as was Hunyuan Daozu. However, for an old monster with whom they had no real friendship and who had not shown much strength, the latter's methods were much more ruthless.

As he spoke, the Primordial Dao Ancestor pointed forward, and a crystal-clear amber scroll unfolded before him, “The Five Elements Dao Realm!”

During the struggle between Lu Xiaotian and the spirit of the array, he sensed a familiar yet inexplicably powerful aura surging and vibrating in all directions.

The amber-colored painting depicts lush vegetation, resembling an endless, wild jungle.

The jungle exuded an unprecedented life force. Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and it was quite similar to his previous Green Fruit Barrier. However, he quickly noticed some differences.

The various birds and beasts within, as well as the illusory demons roaming the jungle, are not true entities, but rather special spiritual forms existing between the physical body and the primordial spirit. (End of Chapter)
