The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 177, First Level Ends

Zhuge Qing immediately redirected his divine sense and probed downwards.

really.

Hundreds of feet underground, he sensed an extremely obscure yet immense energy fluctuation.

There was a yellowish-brown bead there, slowly rotating and radiating a continuous stream of earth elemental energy.

It was that bead that was supporting the operation of the entire formation!

"Found it!"

Zhuge Qing was overjoyed.

"It's a hundred feet underground! That's the Earth Spirit Orb!"

"If we destroy it or sever its connection to the ground, this formation will collapse on its own!"

"A hundred feet underground?"

Xiao Huohuo forced back the sand scorpion with a foot's width of force, his brows furrowed.

"How easy is it to dig a hundred feet through this sandy terrain?"

"And these beasts won't give us a chance to dig!"

indeed.

Under the siege of four peak-stage Guiyuan Realm sand scorpions and thousands of terracotta warriors, they could barely protect themselves, let alone have the strength to attack underground.

Even with the four prodigies joining forces, they could only barely defend themselves and had no way to attack the ground.

Meanwhile, the thousands of terracotta warriors around them surged like a tide, wave after wave crashing against the Ziyang Sect disciples' defenses.

"what!"

One disciple was unable to dodge in time and was pierced through the thigh by the terracotta warrior's long spear, letting out a scream.

The defenses are in grave danger!

"Junior Brother Lu! Is there any way?"

Jian Wuchen severed one of the sand scorpion's legs with a single sword strike, but the leg grew back in the blink of an eye.

"Think of something quick! Otherwise, we're all going to die here!"

Leng Rushuang also let out a delicate shout. Although the frost slowed down the sand scorpion, it could not cause fatal damage.

All eyes were now focused on Lu Xuan.

Unbeknownst to them, this junior brother, whose cultivation was only at the Soul Platform Realm, had become the backbone of the group.

Lu Xuan stood in the center of the crowd, his eyes gleaming with a gray light as he stared intently at the Earth Spirit Orb on the ground.

He was calculating.

"There's no time to dig a hole."

Lu Xuan's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Let's blow it up!"

"Explode?"

Everyone was taken aback.

This sandy ground, reinforced by an array, is as hard as refined iron. To blast open a crater a hundred feet deep, it would be impossible unless a Dharma Aspect Realm expert intervened!

"Follow my orders!"

Lu Xuan didn't explain, but instead shouted loudly.

"Senior Brother Xiao, lure that sand scorpion to the due east!"

"Brother Swordsman, go due west!"

"Senior Brother Zhuge, due south!"

"Senior Sister Leng, due north!"

Although the four were confused, they reacted immediately because they trusted Lu Xuan.

They fought and retreated, managing to lure the four ferocious sand scorpions to the location designated by Lu Xuan.

In this way, the four sand scorpions, together with Lu Xuan in the middle, form a huge cross!

"Now!"

"Attack the sand scorpions' abdomens with full force! Bombard them towards the center!"

Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he shouted loudly.

"good!"

Although Xiao Huohuo and the other three didn't know what Lu Xuan was up to, they had no choice but to fight back.

"Nine Transformations of the Blazing Sun, Scorching the Heavens!"

"Dustless Sword Domain, break!"

"Eight Gates Golden Lock, suppress!"

"A thousand miles frozen solid!"

The four of them unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously, slamming them fiercely into the sand scorpions in front of them.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Four earth-shattering explosions rang out almost simultaneously.

Although the four sand scorpions were thick-skinned and tough, they were still beaten into screaming in agony by the full power of the four prodigies, their massive bodies flying uncontrollably toward the center.

And the direction they flew backwards was precisely where Lu Xuan was!

"Junior Brother Lu! Get out of the way!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Huohuo's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Four peak-stage Returning Origin Realm sand scorpions charged at the same time, and the terrifying impact was enough to turn Lu Xuan into mincemeat!

however.

Lu Xuan neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

Instead of dodging, he stomped his foot hard.

"The Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture, Earthquake!"

A subtle fluctuation traveled from the soles of his feet into the ground.

Those are the several thunderbolts he just planted!

"Boom!"

Just as the four sand scorpions were about to collide with Lu Xuan...

The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded!

A giant crater, tens of meters deep, appeared instantly!

Lu Xuan's figure fell straight down.

The four sand scorpions collided violently due to inertia!

"Bang!"

The terrifying shockwave generated by the collision of the four enormous creatures did not spread in all directions, but instead, due to the terrain, it all emanated downwards!

"Open it!"

While suspended in mid-air, Lu Xuan thrust the Heaven-Swallowing Sword downwards with a sudden movement.

"Haotian Sword Technique!"

His entire body transformed into a black whirlwind, using the terrifying impact to frantically burrow into the ground!

"Boom boom boom!"

Above was the impact of four sand scorpions, and below was Lu Xuan's full-force excavation.

At this moment, the sand finally gave way.

Layer upon layer crumbled!

Fifty feet!

Eighty feet!

One hundred zhang!

"Pop!"

It felt as if it had penetrated a thin film.

Lu Xuan felt a sudden light up his eyes.

A huge underground cavern appeared before him.

In the center of the cavity, a bead emitting an earthy yellow light floated there, slowly rotating.

Earth Spirit Orb!

The core of the formation!

"Found it!"

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

But he did not immediately go to get the Earth Spirit Orb.

Because the four sand scorpions above also fell down, their massive bodies carrying destructive power, heading straight for him.

"snort!"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, and in a flash, he hid below the Earth Spirit Orb.

"You want my life? You'll have to ask it if it'll allow it first!"

He kicked the Earth Spirit Orb.

"Whoosh!"

The Earth Spirit Orb transformed into a stream of light, directly meeting the four falling sand scorpions.

"boom!"

The Earth Spirit Orb is the core of the formation, containing terrifying earth-elemental spiritual power.

At that moment, it was hit hard by four sand scorpions, and an earth-shattering explosion occurred!

A terrifying energy storm instantly swept through the entire underground space.

The four sand scorpions were the first to be hit and were blown to pieces, turning into a sky full of yellow sand!

With the destruction of the Earth Spirit Orb, the entire Nine Turns Yellow River Formation also collapsed.

Above ground.

The Ziyang Sect members, who were struggling to hold on, suddenly noticed that the terracotta warriors had stopped moving.

Followed by.

They seemed to have lost their souls, turning into piles of yellow sand and scattering on the ground.

"The formation... is broken?!"

The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Where is Junior Brother Lu?!"

Xiao Huohuo, unable to contain his joy, rushed toward the deep pit.

At the bottom of the deep pit, the smoke and dust had dissipated.

A slightly disheveled figure was slowly climbing up the pit wall.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Lu Xuan spat out the sand in his mouth, patted the dust off his clothes, and grinned at everyone.

"I have successfully completed my mission."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Xuan come up safely.

This battle.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan's brilliant move of using their own strength against them, they would probably have paid a very heavy price!

"Buzz!"

As the formation was broken, the entire space of the first heaven trembled violently.

Followed by.

A portal of light leading to the second heaven slowly opened before everyone.

First level passed!
