sensed Jin Peng's aura in his cave dwelling in Lie Fengxia, although it was much weaker than before."Golden Peng!"Jin Peng had been whipped with the Shattered Bone Whip for so long that his bones bro...Puh! The earth-spiked fish demon's intelligence was extremely low, only at the Yuan Ying level of strength. Naturally, it wasn't a match for the Nascent Soul level scorpion. It was instantly beaten to a pulp, its flesh torn and bones exposed.

The spiked fish let out a cry and fell back into the Nether River. It splashed a lot of water.

At first, no one paid much attention, after all, it was just a fish with low intelligence. Only Lu Xiaoteng, the scout walking in front, the short and stout man, and the middle-aged monk in robes suddenly stopped.

"Not good!" The short, sturdy man's face changed. He turned his head, and the cave behind him, the Nether River, had begun to twist. In the blink of an eye, the Nether River, which had been on their right side moments ago, was writhing like a spirit snake, encircling them layer by layer. The originally limited stone walls were also retreating outwards, and the space they were in gradually became wider. Inside the twisting Nether River, there was a surge, and countless Abyssal Spike Fish surged forth, leaping from the river and constantly jumping towards the crowd and the demon clan.

Faced with the densely packed ground-thorn demon fish in the Yin River, not to mention the two Nascent Soul cultivators, Monk Clothing Middle-aged and Short and Sturdy Middle-aged, even the group of transformed gods from the demon clan who had been separated by the distorted Yin River were shocked. An ant bites an elephant to death, if they encountered a group of highly intelligent demons, it would be fine. With thunderous means, one could suppress them. However, these low-intelligence ground-thorn demon fish were fearless in the face of death, completely unaware of what death was under the temptation of food. They relentlessly surged towards these powerful Transformed Gods one after another.

A multitude of demon gods and monsters struck, their movements extraordinary. The more Earth-Piercing Demon Needles they killed, the stronger the bloody stench in the River of Souls became, attracting a massive swarm of demonic fish that increased at an alarming rate. In the blink of an eye, the River of Souls was teeming with fish heads, densely packed.

“These spiked fish demons have mostly reached the tenth level or even higher. With our abilities, it's impossible to withstand them head-on. Are there any good strategies you two have” The middle-aged man in robes drew out a short whip and lashed out, knocking back two spiked fish demons. “

"As we are formation masters, we naturally use formations to solve problems." The short and stout man stretched out his hand, a restriction unfolded from his hand, enveloping him. Suddenly, a transparent barrier appeared around the short and stout man's body, enclosing him. In an instant, the short and stout man's breath was completely cut off until inside that transparent barrier, a dazzling array of lights flickered. From the outside, one couldn't tell what was happening inside at all.

"As fellow disciples of the Buddha, can you help me escape this predicament" The middle-aged monk in robes looked at Lu Xiaodao with a plea for help after he had just sent two earth-spitting demon fish flying.

"Are you a disciple of the Buddhist sect" Lu Xia Tian asked with some surprise, his heart filled with astonishment. The other party could see him as a disciple of the Buddhist sect, nothing more than because he used the seventh-level floating pagoda when he made his move earlier. Since the Demon Suppressing Pagoda absorbed the Buddha beads separately, its power had greatly increased. But the method obtained from the monk Floating Pagoda did not mention this part about the Buddha beads. It could be seen that the monk Floating Pagoda's method was not complete either. The Demon Suppressing Pagoda still has a lot of potential to be mined. If possible, Lu Xia Tian naturally wanted to obtain the complete method afterwards.

"Indeed, it is I, Du Ming. I am no match for fellow Daoist's accomplishment in cultivating a stupa, attaining the esteemed rank of Inner Sect disciple. I am merely a registered disciple of the Buddhist sect," the middle-aged monk Du Ming hurriedly said, "I hope Senior Brother, considering our shared root from the same sect, will extend a helping hand to his junior brother."

“Saving you is beyond my capabilities.” Lu Xia Tian smiled calmly, stretching out his palm to grab the short and stout man.

This man's battle formation was primarily focused on concealing his aura and tracks. With the intelligence of these ground-piercing demonic fish, their attention would naturally be diverted to other targets in a situation with more options.

>

The short and stocky man's defense wasn't against Lu Xiaitian and his companions. At this moment, Lu Xiaitian reached out and grabbed him, causing the formation he was using to show a flaw.

"What are you doing" the short, stout man roared angrily.

"You're using this pathetic formation to try and conceal our auras" Lu Xia Tian seemed not to notice the anger on the other person's face.

"Roads go in different directions, each person takes their own path. Your problems are none of my concern!" the short and sturdy man roared.

"Then I apologize, if you have the ability, leave us and hide somewhere else." Lu Xiaotian glanced at the other party, "Or, you beat me down, that way no one will bother you anymore."

“You, you're out of your mind! I serve Lord Langdu himself. Aren't you afraid he'll come after you for this” The short and sturdy man dodged the attacks of the Ground-Spike Fish Demon while threateningly speaking.

"If we can't even keep our lives right now, what use is there in worrying about the future" Lu Xia Tian shrugged.

“That’s right, your brother really couldn't do anything that day, he just gave you a chance to perform.” Compared to Lu Xiaoteng, He Hu's words made the short and sturdy man so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

"I don't stand a chance in hell! " the short, stout man cursed inwardly. However, at this moment, Lang Duo and his group of demon clans were still some distance away, and it would be difficult for them to arrive in time to help. He was helpless against Lu Xiaotian, and although his face was livid with rage, he had no choice but to encompass Lu Xiaotian and his companions within the formation.

The monk, in his middle years, crossed the Ming River. In that moment, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, those Nascent Soul demon beasts are being attacked by a horde of Earth Spike Demon Fish right now. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, why don't we make our escape What do you think"

“Even with a few of us, you think those qun hua shen yao clans would really be stopped by these di ci yao yu” Lu Xia Tian asked back, “Things aren’t that simple. Besides, this cave dwelling is also full of unknown dangers. Acting rashly, we wouldn't just fail to escape, but might even lose our lives.”

Lu Xia Tian also wanted to learn about the surrounding situation through the middle-aged monk, in order to prepare for his departure from the sphere of influence of the demon clan. After all, he was a cultivator at the Huashan stage, but he had no interest in becoming a slave to the demon clan. At present, he did not attack rashly because the other party outnumbered him. Moreover, he only had one magic mirror as his magic weapon. The power of magic weapons and spiritual tools could not be compared. In this world where spiritual energy was so abundant, these demons very likely had already refined their own magic weapons. From any angle, he didn't stand a chance.

"My fellow disciple is right, let's see how things develop later." Du Ming nodded in agreement.

"These demonfish are such a nuisance, human methods are simply more effective." Xie Wu's tail whipped behind him, several black hooks formed like scorpion shells spun out. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, streaks of black light sliced through the air, and Yuan Ying-level thornback demonfish were cleaved in half.

"Come on, let's join those few slaves!" Lang Du opened his mouth and spat out a golden dagger from between his teeth.

The golden blade stood erect in the air, rays of light like needles shot out from the small golden knife, piercing numerous holes through the thick body of the ground-piercing demon fish.

"Such powerful artifacts!" Lu Xia Tian's pupils shrank. It was about as he expected. Whether it was Xie Wu's black short hooks or Duo Du's golden knife, their auras were far superior to his Zhen Yao Tower and Feiyujian. Even as a thirteen-tier body cultivator, Lu Xia Tian could feel the immense threat these artifacts posed. To be honest, as a Nascent Soul stage body cultivator, he didn't even have an artifact suitable for a body cultivator. Fighting with bare hands would put him at a disadvantage from the start.

These densely packed spiny fish failed to restrain the eleven transforming gods. Led by Langdu, Xiewu, and Yueyu, they flew through the air, relentlessly pursuing their prey. The ground and the Nether River were littered with the corpses of the spiny fish.

"You lot, are you planning on just cowering like turtles" Landing beside Lu Xiaotian and his companions, Lang Du said with irritation.

"What's strange about the restrictions before us" Yueyu asked, frowning. The surrounding environment was constantly changing, and the place where a group of transformed divine demon clans had landed just now had already been swallowed by the ghostly river.

Here is the translation of the provided text:

"The Earth-Splitting and Water-Concealing Formation! To be able to contain these venomous fish within the formation and use them for our own purposes, the owner of this cave dwelling's mastery of formations far surpasses all of us. It seems the opponent didn't give us much time to study this formation. Right now, there's probably only one option left: we have to force our way through." The short and sturdy man said in a low voice.

Yueyu looked at Lu Xiaottian with inquiring eyes. Even though the short, sturdy man was making sense, he was ultimately a lone wolf, a servant to no one.

"What he said makes sense. Forging ahead like this, we need the strength of powerful cultivators from the myriad realms." Lu Xia Tian nodded in agreement.

“Since that’s the case, what use are you few formation masters” Xie Wu said in a sinister voice.

“That's not quite right. While it can’t be broken in a short time, as an array master, we can still tell which direction is easier to break through.” Lu Xiaoteng said bluntly.

Time is of the essence, everyone, hurry up and get started. Charge from the southeast direction at top speed and about two miles later, quickly turn north.

"Since we don't know the formations, let's just get started. Berly, Cenfei protect those two. Hu is in charge of clearing the way." Yueyu gave the order directly.

"Yes, Third Miss!" Three Fire Tiger Clan powerful cultivators each nodded, dividing their tasks and rushing towards the direction Lu Xia Tian indicated.

Eleven Nascent Soul experts were each protecting several formation masters led by Lu Xiaoteng as they dashed around inside a cave where the river and land intertwined, constantly shifting and changing. Many of the Earth Spike Demonfish were killed, but more kept surging up from the river, their scales swirling, seemingly endless.

By the end, eleven Demonic Races' Heavenly Transformation powerhouses had taken turns recovering. This went on for several days before the group of Heavenly Transformation Demon Races finally felt relieved as they turned back to look at the Stygian River, which flowed behind them like a serpent winding away into the distance.

"Such a formidable Earth-Splitting Netherwater Array!" Yueyu, Langdu, Xiewu and other Nascent Soul demon clans looked back in trepidation, thinking to themselves that if not for these three human array masters, they would have been unable to break through this formation. They could only return empty-handed. Soon, these Nascent Soul demon clans exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a message: the importance of these human array masters right before them was even more evident.

As the murmuring of the river behind him faded, Lu Xiaotian's eyes widened. He saw before him a vibrant expanse of herbs, within which rose a massive stone tablet, seeming to shimmer and dance amongst them. With a sweep of his hand, Lu Xiaotian stirred a gentle breeze that caused the herbs to sway, revealing three archaic characters etched on the two-meter tall tablet: "Ling Yin Mountain."

"Hidden Spirit Mountain A spirit mountain within a cave, it does have a unique charm. I hope the few of us won't return empty-handed this time." Xie Wu felt the wave of spiritual energy washing over him, his eyes flickered.

A group of demon cultivators were excitedly looking at the open grassland in front of the mountain. The short and stout man and Du Ming, however, were not excited. After all, they were the ones who fought to the death, but the benefits ultimately went to these demon cultivators. They were still slaves, and after leaving this cave, no one knew how long they would survive in the following gambling fight. Although Du Ming told Lu Xiaoteng on his lips that he wanted to escape together, he didn't have much hope in his heart. After all, several Yuanying cultivators wanted to escape from under the eyes of a group of Huashen demon cultivators. It was easier said than done.

“Lingyin Mountain” The others didn’t find anything unusual about the stone tablet, but when Lu XiaTian saw the three characters “Lingyin Mountain”, his heart was thrown into turmoil.

Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags. I did not translate the HTML tags themselves.

When he was still at the Qi-Building stage, Lu Xia Tian entered the Hun Yuan Dao Zang. In the end, he encountered a wisp of primordial spirit left behind by the Hun Yuan Dao Ren. This is what that primordial spirit said to Lu Xia Tian:

"If one day, when your cultivation reaches a certain level, go to Lingyin Mountain!"

"Where is Lingyin Mountain How strong does one's cultivation need to be" Lu Xia Tian asked at the time.

“When you reach that level, when the opportunity arises, you will naturally know. If the opportunity doesn't come, no amount of effort will be fruitful!” After speaking, Hun Yuan Dao Ren’s wisp of primordial spirit vanished into thin air.

At this moment, Lu Xiaitian's astonishment was beyond words. He never expected that he would end up on Lingyin Mountain in such a situation. He just didn't know if it was the Lingyin Mountain spoken of by the Xuan Yuan Dao people. It seemed too coincidental.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

After confirming there were no formidable formations, the cultivators and demon cultivators crossed the stone tablet and entered deeper into the cave dwelling. As they arrived at a valley, a huge transparent barrier stood before them.

On the other side of the barrier, a peach tree no taller than ten feet grew on the precipice of Gu Shan. On that mystical peach tree, seven crimson, crystal-clear peaches hung. Even through this transparent barrier, they shimmered with an ethereal glow.

“Scarlet Blood Peach!” Xie Wu, Lang Duo, Yue Yu and the rest of the transformed divine demon clan couldn’t help but shout out loud.

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

The short, sturdy man and Du Ming both wore expressions of excitement tinged with regret on their faces. Even though this heavenly treasure had appeared, it would forever remain out of their reach.

"Is the Blood-Red Peach any different from other Peaches" Lu Xia Tian asked in a doubtful voice.

“Fool!” Xie Wu snorted coldly after hearing Lu Xia Tian’s words. Though the other demons didn’t speak, their eyes looking at Lu Xia Tian clearly showed they shared the same sentiment as Xie Wu.

“I don't know how Friend managed to cultivate to this level, not even knowing about the Chi Blood Peach, the foremost of the Peaches of Immortality. This Chi Blood Peach is one of the most top-tier peaches. It can increase lifespan by 800 years. While it's 200 years less than the Xue Ling Peach, it can also enhance magical power. The Chi Blood Peach before our eyes is crystal red and dripping with juice, clearly fully ripe. However, in two or three years, it will likely fall to the ground and turn into nothingness. Now that the senior demon clan members have arrived just in time. Legend has it that a mature Chi Blood Peach can grant a Void Realm expert an additional 30% increase in magical power. As for those who have reached the Nascent Soul Stage, even if the increase is not as much, it can be of great help in breaking through their realms.” The short and sturdy man had suffered losses at the hands of Lu Xia Tian before. His tone now carried a hint of dejection.

(Sanqi Chinese)y for the situation to develop. 。Let things take their course. 。This is not the first time Lu Xia Tian has seen a Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation. In the Hunyuan realm, his accumulated energy was al...
