pupation flew towards the Golden Condensing Fruit Tree, while Qu Mao, who was fighting Cheng Tao, roared angrily. He grabbed a few claws at the Green Flood Dragon that rushed forward, shattering it...."Extreme Yang Thunder Punishing Spirit Formation" Lu XiaTian sized up the formation flag in his hand. To activate this formation, one needed a certain understanding of it. Even with the flag in hand, Lu XiaTian felt a sense of obscurity. The power of this formation was indeed extraordinary, but when Fei Dongwang just had a change, Lu XiaTian also acted, leaving the formation before he could activate it.

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

Fei Dong's strength was ultimately still a bit lacking. If it had been Tu Xingyun or an Immortal Realm late-stage expert like Yunxia Fairy, even if Lu Xia Tian won, it wouldn't have been this effortless.

This is a test.

All this commotion wouldn't have necessarily caused a rift between us. After all, with their own strength, they wouldn't be in trouble unless they stayed close to this formation for protection. Once they left the formation, their power would be insufficient to keep them safe in this dangerous place.

Unless he had some other means of defense. But that kind of reliance hadn't arrived yet. Could it be that after killing them in the ranks, he gained this ability to protect himself

Lu Xia tian's mind raced, countless thoughts flashing through him in the short span of time. However, this mere speculation, while close to the truth, couldn't reveal what Fei Dongwang relied on specifically.

At this time, heart-piercing screams rose one after another. The old man with the black staff held a black lantern in his hand, and Fei Dongwang's body was enveloped by the light emitted from the lantern. His frail body trembled like sifted grain. Fei Dongwang's body turned into a blood-red lamp oil, being absorbed into the black lantern. As for his soul, it was also confined above the wick.

"Soul Refining Lamp!" Fei Dong's primordial spirit, imprisoned by the black lamp core, could move a little within the small area above it. But no matter how it moved, it couldn't escape the range of the lamp's flames.

The text inside the tags needs to be provided so I can translate it. For example, you could say: "Please translate this into English: "Then I would respond with:"This is a sentence in Chinese."

“Blackstaff Elder, your methods are truly ruthless. Using his flesh as lamp oil to refine his soul essence, and once his soul essence can't hold on any longer, using the lamp oil to replenish it. This cycle repeats endlessly. If you don't comply, even if Fei Dongwang wants to die, he won't be able to.”

Hu Xiaofeng glanced at the old man with the black staff in slight surprise, her voice carrying a hint of fear. To fall into the hands of the old man with the black staff was truly worse than death. She hadn't realized before that this seemingly harmless old fellow had such cruel methods.

"This technique was also an unexpected gain for the old man. I never expected this Fei Dong to be so heartless and cruel. If I let him die too easily, wouldn't that be giving him an easy way out" The black staff elder chuckled sinisterly.

Lu Xia tian glanced at the black staff elder's soul refining lamp, sensing the extraordinary nature of this black lamp. It was definitely not as simple as refining souls, it even posed a slight threat to him. He had underestimated the black staff elder before.

However, whether the old man with the black staff was hiding his strength or not, as long as he didn't cause trouble for him, Lu Xia Tian would just pretend he hadn't seen anything.

"You're right, this guy definitely has some secrets he's not telling. We have to get him to spill them. Also, Black Staff old man, do you want to take care of Fei Xingdong privately" Hu Xiaofeng's eyes flickered as she looked at Lu Xia Tian again. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she knew he agreed. Immediately, her face broke into a smile.

“Of course, there is nothing I cannot say. As long as you can bear the scraping of your souls by this thunderous array. This old man has not thought about taking any personal gain.” The old man with the black staff cursed inwardly, “This little girl is so nosy.” However, thinking back, it was normal. Fei Xingdong brought them here silently to this thunder formation without their noticing, but this silver-haired cultivator had already made his move without a sound, easily subduing Fei Xingdong. Such means and cunning are not comparable to ordinary people.”

Even if Lu Xia tian remained silent, the old man with the black staff wouldn't dare to take action easily. In case he was wary of him, the old man with the black staff couldn't be sure when the other party would consider him a threat.

A wisp of tiny flame ignited on top of the soul-refining lamp, and threads of black qi spread to Feidongwang's primordial spirit. Feidongwang's primordial spirit let out a heart-wrenching cry within it, rising in intensity with each passing moment.

Lu Xia Tian ignored them, studying the newly acquired lei fa (thunder method) array flag by himself. Two women in black, Hu Xiao Feng included, remained composed.

Lu Xia Tian pondered over the battle flag several times before taking out Fei Dong's Sumeru ring. Inside, there were seven or eight inferior spirit crystals and some lightning-attribute spiritual plants. They weren't very useful to Lu Xia Tian.

"This amber..." Lu Xiaotian saw that inside a piece of amber like glass, there was actually a section of wood sealed in it. The power of the true thunder of the Qingmu transmitted from the amber was extremely strong, dozens of times stronger than what he had obtained before. According to the amount that could be contained within the Wulei Stone, the power of the true thunder of the Qingmu contained within this amber was already enough. However, besides his main body, the lotus avatar also needed the true thunder of the Qingmu. Lu Xiaotian naturally couldn't go out immediately. If the lotus avatar hadn't made a harvest, he would have to collect some more.

The others saw Lu Xiaoteng's curious gaze on the Sumeru ring, a flash of interest in their eyes. However, seeing that Lu Xiaoteng had no intention of taking it out to share, several people naturally understood and didn't interfere.

Within Fei Dong's Xumi Ring, Lü Xia Tian unexpectedly found an ancient, almost dilapidated stone book. It was surprisingly about the "Extreme Yang True Thunder Punishing Spirit Formation."

Although he successfully escaped, Lu Xia Tian still recognized the power of the formation. The intertwining of countless lightning pillars and the pressure of Mount Lei overhead were formidable. While Fei Dong's words about even true immortals perishing within the formation might be an exaggeration, Lu Xia Tian couldn't have walked out unharmed without utilizing his True Dragon form or relying on the help of the Boundary Worm in this situation.

Lu Xia Tian flipped through the back and forth, and discovered that the array solution was incomplete, insufficient to control the entire formation. It could only manipulate a portion of the formation's power. To activate the entire formation, he would still need two other formation flags.

The entire formation is composed of three sub-formations. The formation banner in Lu Xia Tian's hand can only control one of the sub-formations.

And these three sub-formations, when combined, seem to form a killing formation. Yet within this killing formation lies a trace of vitality. However, this vitality does not lead outside the formation, but rather deeper into the larger formation. Based on Lu Xia Tian's expertise in formations, he could roughly judge that this vitality should be a passage leading to another place.

Relying solely on the control of a single formation flag to forcefully break through would be too dangerous. However, there's not an absolute lack of solutions. Through sacrificial methods, one could reduce the danger to a certain extent. For example, when Fei Dong wanted to kill their group within the formation before, it was a type of sacrifice.

"This formation is truly wondrous." Lu Xia Tian rested his chin, pondering. Without understanding what lay beyond the other side of the formation besides the Zhumu True Thunder, there was no pressing need to venture into this perilous situation. However, if a powerful enemy were encountered, he could certainly utilize the formation to some extent in defense.

"This formation is quite powerful. I wonder if my friend from the East has come up with any insights. If we could incorporate this formation into our own arsenal, we'd have another layer of protection in this ghostly place." Hu Xiaofeng saw Lu Xiaoteng put away the formation flag and smiled sweetly, trying to get closer to him.e, numerous small sects like Lingyin Pavilion with limited strength had tried to recruit Golden Core cultivators as patrons.
