rrent cultivation level, after absorbing a large amount of immortal spiritual energy, his consumption of Xianjing will inevitably decrease significantly. 。But no one knows how many wolf riders Lu Xia...The cloud columns above were gathering more and more, having not descended for several days. Within the storm clouds, countless lightning bolts rolled like serpents, ready to pounce and strike at any moment.
"Lu Dao-friend, will this tribulation cloud affect your formation" Several days had passed. By now, the all-seeing King De would have definitely made his arrangements. Even if time was short and he couldn't mobilize enough manpower immediately, someone would definitely come. It was just a matter of numbers. The few of them present, while not weak in strength, were ultimately insignificant compared to King De's power.
"It seems you haven't explained, Miss Xiang, why it takes so long to cross the tribulation." Lu Xia Tian glanced at Xu Wan.
“I never expected that your royal bloodline would be so strong, Miss. With your talent, achieving the Yuan Ying stage will be almost effortless. The Imperial House of Xiangguo would never allow you to remain outside their grasp. As long as you survive the King's assassins, upon returning to the capital city, you will undoubtedly become one of the most sought-after heirs to the throne of Xiangguo. Daoist Lu, if you are willing to lend a hand, there will be great rewards!” Xu Wan persuaded.
"Wait until your Ms. Xiang has weathered the tribulation before we speak further, their forces have arrived!" Lu Xia Tian said softly.
"What" With Lu Xiaitian's reminder, Xu Wan suddenly woke up. She realized that dozens of miles away, there were indeed some faint auras, with varying levels of cultivation.
“There were about thirteen or fourteen people on the other side. Whether there were other spirit beasts is still unknown. Their manpower far surpasses ours. To be frank, the formation you gave me can only hold back four late-stage Jindan cultivators at most. Any more would exceed my limit. I won't risk my life. After Miss Xiang finishes her tribulation, you guys should make your plans.” Lu Xiaoteng reminded them lastly.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, you have such a high level of vigilance.” Xu Wan gave Lu Xiaottian a deep look. Although she had heard some rumors about Lu Xiaottian, it was just hearsay. At this time, Lu Xiaottian actually discovered the arrival of others before her, and even sensed the approximate number of people. This was much stronger than her. Xu Wan thought to herself that because of the strange phenomenon brought by the robbery cloud, she had divided some of her attention. When she woke up at this time, she couldn't perceive the exact number of the other party, she could only sense different auras approaching. In this way, Lu Xiaottian's divine consciousness was actually above hers.
In fact, although Lu Xiaitian was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm at this time, his cultivation of the soul had progressed to the point where few Golden Core cultivators could surpass him in terms of soul strength.
War is imminent. In the snow-covered forest opposite them, a group of figures lie in wait, unwilling to make a move until Xiang Lian'er reaches the crucial period of her tribulation. This serves two purposes: firstly, it distracts Xiang Lian'er, and secondly, if the thunder tribulation proves too powerful, they won't even need to intervene, saving themselves some trouble.
Just as both sides' Jindan cultivators were on high alert, with a ripping sound, the tribulation clouds in the sky split open, revealing a gap. A thick bolt of lightning descended from above Lian'er's head. It was incredibly fast, but compared to when Lu Xiaoteng crossed the tribulation before, it was significantly less powerful.
The robbery clouds in the sky surged one after another. Xiang Lian'er let out a demonic shriek, and the aura around her body suddenly shattered, her white cloak fluttering wildly in the wind amidst the snow. Her hair flew everywhere.
"Stone Forest Icewind Formation, activate!" Facing the first wave of lightning tribulation, Xiang Lian'er suddenly had a blue disc appear on her palm. With a flick of her wrist, the disc flew in front of her, spinning rapidly, with alternating earthy-blue light continuously shooting out from within. An instant later, each flash of earthy-blue light transformed into a sapling with a blue crown and earthy trunk.
In the blink of an eye, a lush green forest appeared around Xiang Lian'er, concealing her seemingly frail figure.
Bolts of tribulation thunder rained down, striking the azure canopy formed by the array. The canopy and trunk were repeatedly shattered by the lightning, but the power of the tribulation thunder was also being neutralized.
Amidst the turbulent clouds, Xiang Lian'er's aura grew stronger and stronger. A silver three-legged tripod appeared above her head, like a crowning imperial regalia, adding a touch of valiant spirit to her delicate features.
When the azure disc shattered, the first wave of tribulation thunder subsided.
The second wave of thunder tribulation was significantly more powerful, but Xiang Lian'er once again deployed the Nine Palace Golden Spear Formation. The second wave of thunder tribulation was even more powerful, and the formation only lasted halfway before the golden spears, like thunder, turned into dust.
Just as the Nine Palace Golden Spear Formation was destroyed, Xiang Lian'er's hand flashed with purple light, appearing with a purple Phoenix Feather Gun. The gun shadow resembled a forest, and every time it pierced out, it collided with the Calamity Thunder. With each strike, Xiang Lian'er's body would recoil several steps backward. Occasionally, Calamity Thunder also struck Xiang Lian'er's body, but her condition didn't seem affected at all. The instant Calamity Thunder touched her, a transparent armor would flash on Xiang Lian'er's body.
"Crystal Silkworm Robe!" Lu XiaTian's eyes flashed. The defensive power of this robe might not be the strongest, but for tribulation thunder, it was incredibly suitable. Compared to his fire Jiao scale armor, it was even more effective against tribulation thunder. And this type of robe, Xiang Lian'er had more than one.
Xiang Lian'er's strength was absolutely not weak. Among the cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, she was considered top-notch. Furthermore, she came from the imperial family of Xiang Kingdom. Even during the Tribulation Transcendence period, there were several Golden Core cultivators protecting her, basically all in the late stage of Golden Core. With this kind of lineup, a few tribulation crossing artifacts wouldn't be missing naturally.
As soon as Xiang Lian'er weathered the second wave of thunder tribulation, she only sustained minor injuries. After swallowing a few pills that healed wounds and restored mana, her combat power remained intact.
Seeing the third wave of tribulation thunder descend, Lu Xia Tian simply didn't bother watching anymore. Although the power of the third wave was doubled, based on Xiang Lian Er's strength and preparations, success in crossing the tribulation was already a certainty. More importantly, in the distant snowy forest, a dozen or so figures had shot out like lightning.
Among them were Fu Mingyuan, and the two short white-capped dwarfs who had once been only waist-high to an adult.
Several others stood nearby. One held a string of beads, thin and wiry, looking like an ascetic monk. However, Lu Xia Tian immediately noticed the black aura emanating from the beads, which were actually shrunken human skulls. Each skull seemed to have the innocence of a baby, yet it was filled with evil.
“The lone crane, a killer baby monk!” Xu Wan and Yuan Gang, including the brown-haired old man, all changed color when they saw this person.
Apart from this emaciated monk holding a skull bead, there was also a middle-aged couple dressed in black. Their origins were unknown, but they seemed to have considerable cultivation, and Huoran was also a master of the late Jindan stage.
Fu Mingyuan also stepped from the middle stage of Jindan to the later stage of Jindan.
Six cultivators at the late stage of the Golden Core, plus ten more, with only two at the early stage of the Golden Core, and the rest being at the middle stage of the Golden Core.
In terms of numbers, the other side had a crushing advantage over Lu Xia Tian's group, especially the life-taking baby monk named Duo Yi He who captivated Xu Wan and Yuan Gang. Even Lu Xia Tian hadn't sensed this person entering the snow forest before.of a Heavenly Immortal. 。Under the circumstances of combining with Longyuan, Lu Xia Tian was only one wall away from a Heavenly Immortal-ranked Dragon Clan at this time. 。But everything has its unexpe...
