Chapter 1190 -1187: Escape the Trap, Break the Encirclement
Between lightning and flint, hundreds to thousands of giant wooden spikes shot out from all directions, screeching piercingly as they fiercely targeted Lu Xuan.
Just as the wooden spikes were about to pierce his body, his figure flashed, vanishing without a trace, instantly crossing the space to arrive more than ten miles away.
It was the Middle Rank Divine Ability he had cultivated over many years, the Xiao Space-Shift Technique.
Sensing Lu Xuan’s aura once again, towering humanoid tree monsters rapidly formed, each possessing strength far surpassing a Golden Core Completion Cultivator.
Lu Xuan’s expression remained calm, and he snorted coldly, as brilliant stars suddenly lit up around him, silent dazzling stars emerging, revolving in mysterious and abstruse trajectories.
It was indeed the Seventh Grade Zhou Sky Star Fighting Sword Array.
When he had set out, he considered that Mu Yuanshan’s mental invasion might have been passive, and there might be some other terrifying existence lurking behind, so he discreetly laid down the Zodiac Star Battle Sword Formation as a precaution.
Once inside the Sword Array, the speed of life force depletion within his body slowed down slightly.
Dozens of tree monsters attacked at astonishing speed, with countless vine-like tendrils rapidly burrowing out from their bodies.
The stars brightened, showering down heavenly starlight, and a brilliant sword light emerged, arriving in front of those tree monsters in an instant.
Before the sword light arrived, it formed a hundred zhang long sword glow, which effortlessly bisected more than a dozen tree monsters at the forefront.
Following that, within the covered area of the Sword Array, strands of sword glow and Sword Qi like starlight traced mysterious and incomprehensible trajectories, chopping and slashing, exterminating the tree monsters one by one.
“Hmm? Such strong vitality?”
Not only did the barrier set by the thousand-year-old Demon Spirit have an enhancing effect, but the tree monsters themselves possessed special vitality; even if chopped into countless fragments, they still automatically gathered back together, forming new tree monsters.
“I wonder if they can still reform after being burned to black ash?”
A thought crossed Lu Xuan’s mind, and an object the size of a palm flew out from his Dantian, transforming into a divine feathered fan in his hand.
The fan was woven from seven feathers, each gleaming with brilliant spiritual light. With a gentle wave, five-colored Strange Fire burst forth.
He grabbed the Five Fire Seven Birds Fan and swung it fiercely towards those tree monsters.
Instantly, a tongue of flame burst forth from the Magic Treasure, rapidly reaching the tree monsters and transforming into a sea of five-colored fire.
The blazing fire raged furiously, turning the surrounding tree monsters into countless black ashes in the blink of an eye.
“Hmm? What Strange Treasure is this?”
From deep within the verdant expanse, an ancient voice sounded.
After the tree monsters were burnt to nothingness, waves stirred in the heart of that Demon Spirit.
The beings it had evolved in this world possessed extraordinary vitality, and even powers far surpassing them could not easily destroy them. It had not expected them to be so effortlessly burnt clean by a cultivator in the Early Nascent Soul Stage.
Lu Xuan’s Divine Sense swept over, sensing that more strange wooden creatures were forming around him.
He spread a pair of silver-white wings from his ribs, transforming into a streak of lightning, speeding through the verdant world. Behind him, the sun, moon, and stars still maintained their rotations, seeming to shift corresponding to his location.
“The Divinity Transformation ancestor’s avatar will take some time to arrive; during this time, not only do I need to preserve my own life, but I also must ensure that the three cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect are not threatened.”
Lu Xuan thought silently to himself.
Although losing a White Lotus Avatar would not affect his life, Twin Birth White Lotuses were rare, and he did not know when he might possess a similar avatar again.
With several precious Magic Treasures in the hands of his avatar, Lu Xuan inevitably felt heartache at the thought of abandoning them.
So, he exerted all efforts to preserve the White Lotus Avatar.
Now, the main target of that Demon Spirit was the three “Cultivators” of the Divine Wood Sect. However, should they perish, he would be next, likely unable to hold out until the arrival of his elder’s avatar.
In the verdant space, there seemed to be a mysterious force isolating everyone’s Divine Sense. Fortunately, having consumed numerous rare Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicines to enhance his Divine Sense, and cultivated the “Starlitting Thought” combined with the enhancement from both the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow and Stealing God Jade Strange Treasures, his Divine Sense had far surpassed that of Same-level Cultivators, thus he faintly sensed the presence of the three.
“Is Jiang Hengbai nearby? He seems alright; better go to Zhang Jingxian first,” he thought.
With a thought, Lu Xuan’s Silver White Wings beat rapidly on his back; streaks of thunder appeared and disappeared as he transformed into a streak of white light, traversing the vast distance instantly.
“It seems that Lin Jiangyuan is in a bit of trouble.”
His Divine Sense swept over and saw an ancient basket Strange Treasure floating before Lin Jiangyuan, from which blades, long spears, and other weapons flew out to defend him while confronting the numerous attacking tree creatures.
Additionally, an ancient, misty mirror hovered above, shooting out grey beams of light that momentarily paralyzed the tree creatures upon contact, giving Lin Jiangyuan a chance to breathe.
But he was caught in the Demon Spirit-formed verdant space, having to delay the drain of his life force while combating numerous powerful foes, and the techniques he cultivated were faintly suppressed by the tree creatures, gradually putting him at a disadvantage.
Just then, stars seemed to light up overhead, and a dazzling burst of Sword Light suddenly appeared, tracing a stunning path as it bisected the surrounding tree monsters at the waist.
“Thank you, Friend Lu!”
Lin Jiangyuan felt a surge of relief in his heart and sent a grateful thought toward Lu Xuan.
“I’m going to check on Friend Zhang now.”
Lu Xuan withdrew after merely lending a hand, without focusing his mind on Lin Jiangyuan.
After all, the Late Nascent Soul Stage Zhang Jingxian was the main force combating the Demon Spirit on the field. If he were to be defeated, or even killed, the full power of the Demon Spirit would then fall upon Lu Xuan.
By that time, he might struggle to hold out until the arrival of the Divinity Transformation elder’s avatar.
Zhang Jingxian’s situation was not good; his walking stick had transformed into a twenty-odd zhang long True Dragon, coiling around him.
There was also a dark Flying Sword lurking, ready to strike, and a yellowish-grey shield swiftly circled him.
The True Dragon’s body showed patches of grey, and the shield was pockmarked as if it could be breached at any moment.
The hundred-zhang tall shadowy green figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, heavy grey-green Spiritual Light falling on Zhang Jingxian’s body. Each contact with the True Dragon resulted in the formations of grey patches that kept spreading.
“Friend Lu, watch out for that Demon Envoy’s monstrous light!”
Seeing Lu Xuan approaching, Zhang Jingxian’s spirits lifted as he cautioned.
“Understood.”
Lu Xuan transformed into a streak of silver-white thunder light, weaving through countless verdant branches, frequently using powerful swordsmanship to clear everything around him.
Suddenly, his Sea of Consciousness alerted him, and in a flash, he appeared several miles away.
At his previous position, a sneaky grey-green Spiritual Light fell, seizing all life force in the vicinity.
“What a domineering ability! Thankfully, I have the Xiao Space-Shift Technique!”
Lu Xuan internally exclaimed in relief, knowing if he hadn’t evaded in time, he would’ve had to resort to either using the Five Fire Seven Birds Fan or enduring with his Flesh Body.
Mana surged from within his body, a faint layer of Thunder Garment appearing on his surface, while in his Sea of Consciousness, golden thunder roared down, surrounding him with layers of faint golden thunder light.
