Chapter 5075: Dilemma, The Old Monster Makes a Move
out your ghost cave has also caught their attention. The Zhan Yue Alliance has sent a certain number of Nascent Soul cultivators to the ghost cave. In Tian Jian Mountain, they don't have as many peop...Now was not the time to consider these things. Lu Xiaoteng shook his head secretly and struck out with several palms, repelling the purple water shadows before him.
All the monsters from the Wudong Stone Tower have come out. With so many debts to pay off, another Zishou Youying wouldn't make much difference. They are all old monsters who have achieved a Yuanshen body. One comes or two come, they are all unstoppable.
A chill wind swept in, and as Zishù's water shadow crashed against him, the opponent's form flickered erratically. With a resounding boom, their clash was fierce, Lu Xiaoteng's palm strike landing on Zishù's water shadow like hitting an ancient, immovable ice mountain.
Every single image of the purple-hued water before me seemed to conceal a different iceberg. Dozens of icebergs existed in some mysterious, inexplicable connection with each other.
The chilling aura seemed to have the ability to continuously stack upon itself, which is why it put so much pressure on all the Daluo Jinxian-level experts present.
It's not that all the cold and chilling auras can be superimposed. Otherwise, people like Yù Shī and Yán Píng would be even worse off.
As expected of the Purple Guard Demon Emperor, even after some diluted blood was absorbed by some demons, it could still produce such a mysterious change.
Lu Xiaitian was secretly surprised while also not daring to linger here. This was only a dozen or so purple-veined water shadows, and the destructive power they unleashed was clearly more terrifying than before.

It was clearly stimulated by the Sky-Empty Stone Tower. If dozens of Purple Guard Water Shadows surrounded him, that terrifyingly cold air gathering together, Lu Xia Tian didn't think he could withstand it.
The aura of the monster he had fought earlier within the Duko Stone Tower was faintly discernible, indicating that under the continuous influx of large amounts of purple-black Yin water into the tower, the spatial seal inside was gradually weakening.
Now that the lion-like creatures were gradually weakening, their movements becoming sluggish. Even Lu Xiaoteng couldn't care for them anymore. In such a perilous situation, he could only focus on escaping himself first.
Just now, when Lu Xia Tian fought the old monster in the Duko Stone Pagoda, Ning Qinghe and the others didn't offer any help. Now that Lu Xia Tian is withdrawing alone, he wouldn't feel any psychological burden.
If the situation permits, it's not impossible to pull a few people down together. Right now, Lu Xia Tian is too busy looking after himself.
“Damn it, these are just Zi Shuiying, how come they're so much stronger than before.” Itadori struggled to dispel the chilling cold that enveloped him. His body trembled uncontrollably as he couldn't help but complain.
"Could Eastern Saint also have other options If not, could he bring us back to the stone pagoda we were just at"
Facing the unleashed power of Shiki Mizu's water phantom, Itachi felt a pang of regret for leaving his tower. Staying inside that stone tower was perilous, with no guarantee against the mysterious old monster dwelling within.
If you were to submit to the old monster within the stone pagoda, there might still be a way out alive.
As for now, he wanted to go back, and still sensed a strange resistance at the entrance. The black-purple Yin water could enter, but Itto-dō was stopped.
At this point, with nowhere to turn, the only hope Itachi had left was placed upon Lu Xia Tian.
Lu Xia Tian almost laughed in anger. Itachi Dao Ren, this guy's face is really not ordinary thick. He was afraid of death and yet wanted to drag him back into the Empty Stone Tower, treating him like a fool

Lu Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. As he resisted the frigid chill emanating from Zi Shu Shui Ying, he also strained every muscle to shift outward.
Lu Xiaodong's condition was still like this, let alone the other people.
No one expected Purple Watchwater's power to erupt with such astonishing force.
Even the black and purple yin water was extraordinarily peculiar; even under such extreme cold, it didn't freeze.
Instead, several of the members of the Ittōdō clan had already condensed a thin layer of ice crystals on their bodies.
"I'll fight to the death with you all!" At this moment, it seemed as if Utatane was pushed to his absolute limit. The thin whiskers on both sides of his nose trembled, his body suddenly ballooned a hundredfold, and his long hair splashed everywhere, densely covering everything around him. Even the surrounding Mizukage were slightly affected by this sight.
Lu Xia Tian keenly noticed that when under attack, the dozens of Zi Shu Shui Ying should have had seven auras connected together. In other words, it was as if seven split the attacks of Itachi Dao Ren. The damage received was naturally greatly reduced.
> In this dark purple murky water, the ripples caused by Zi Shu's water shadows merging together were almost completely concealed. Even Lu Xia Tian could only get a general idea of what was happening.
A hum, and seven Purple Shadow Water Images within the ice source simultaneously rippled. One after another, icy halos surged towards the nearby Itodoru person, enveloping them. These halos carried an eerie chill while also being as sharp as blades.
The countless flying needles that Itachi threw out after being countered were as if frozen, their speed becoming increasingly slower and losing their original power.
Pfft pfft pfft... Itachi's body was cut into dozens of pieces by these icy glares. The look of fear on his face froze in place.
"Damn it, these Violet Shadow Waters are way more powerful than the rumors said. I should've just stayed inside that stone tower."
Seeing Itachi's state, the Prison Lion couldn't help but shudder. Several speeds had declined, even with a large amount of black and purple Yin Water surging into the Void-Crossing Stone Tower, the surroundings were still like an ocean.
...But what was even more disheartening was that another twenty or so purple water shadows also appeared, looming in the surrounding area and advancing towards them.

"Perhaps the appearance of the stone pagoda absorbed too much purple-black Yin water, causing these Purple Guard water shadows to feel threatened. Now they're making a desperate effort. The opponent absorbed demonic emperor blood, their strength is indeed beyond ordinary reasoning."
The Golden Gu Demon Monk's face was also frozen blue. As for Min Kongxing, Gui Cenjing, and Taizhen Zhenren who came out later than Lu Xiaoteng and the others, they were directly blocked outside the Duankong Stone Pagoda within a few feet, unable to advance or retreat.

Lu Xia Tian's face shifted between anger and uncertainty. At this moment, he could still bear it, but a massive shadow descended upon him, a feeling much like when he faced the Old Poisoner before.
"Zi, Zi Shu Yu Ying!" Even the usually arrogant Prison Lion spoke with hesitation at this time.
Ning Qinghe, Yan Ping, and even the Golden Gu Demon Monk shivered uncontrollably. The icy light and shadow had now enveloped the space around the Void Crossing Stone Tower, leaving them with no room to retreat. Even Lu Xia Tian found himself trapped between a rock and a hard place.
The power of the Purple Void Shadow was too great, exceeding the capacity of Lu Xia Tian and his companions to handle. It seemed that with a single thought from the opponent, they could be completely frozen.
At that moment, Lu Xia Tian was also at a loss. Under the absolute gap in strength, no matter how clever Lu Xia Tian and Jin Gu Mo Seng were, their schemes would be useless at this time, they were powerless.

However, just as Lu Xia Tian and his group were blocked near the Duko Stone Pagoda, a powerful aura erupted from within the pagoda itself, clashing with the presence of Zi Shu's phantom. In an instant, within the vast expanse of black-purple Yin water, a large area tore apart. The laws crumbled, and space fractured.
The progress of the originally black-purple Yin water being continuously drawn into the Empty Sky Stone Tower was also interrupted.
“You youngsters restrain the other Zi Shui Ying, this old man will deal with the leader, Zi Yu Ying.” A voice aged like time arose, it was actually the old monster who had attacked Lu Xia Tian before.
Lu Xiaitian suddenly reacted, the Duko Stone Tower absorbed a large amount of black and purple Yin water, which had already shaken the foundation of Zi Shu Yuying and a large number of Zi Shu Shuiying's interests.
The monster inside the hollow stone tower could be defeated, but it needed more black and purple yin water to impact the seal within. This naturally created an irreconcilable conflict between the two.

The old monster didn't know how many years he had been sealed inside the Duko Stone Tower. Now, whenever there was a chance to break free, anyone who stood in his way was an enemy. He didn't care if the other party was related to some demon emperor, big or small.
Lu XiaTian's face contorted with a strange expression. Jin Gu Mo Seng and Yu Shi were taken aback for a moment, then their faces lit up with ecstasy.
Just when I was worried about being unable to deal with the Zi Shu Shadow, unexpectedly, a turn of events occurred. The old monster inside the Duko Stone Tower actually made a move.
A glimmer of hope has emerged from a seemingly hopeless situation.
"Senior, although my companions and I are willing to go wherever you lead, there are still dozens of the Zi Shu water shadows. With just a few of us, we're no match for them." After the initial excitement subsided, Yu Shi once again wore a look of despair.
If they could handle the burst of power from this purple Shadow Water, then Itadori wouldn't have fallen instantly.
“To face your strength and the Purple Guard Water Shadows head-on is like hitting a stone with an egg. However, these Purple Guard Water Shadows did not achieve this state through their own cultivation. They were forcibly changed by the diluted blood of the Purple Guard Demon Emperor, altering both their flesh and souls. Now they are neither human nor ghost.”
“These monsters do have quite the explosive power, but their true might comes from the Ice Abyssal Origin Array that the Purple Guard Demon Emperor cultivated before ascending to his position. Although this array is formidable, even I am not its match. These Purple Guard Water Shadows merely act on instinct and come from different individuals.”
"Furthermore, the diluted blood of the Zi Shu Mo Di absorbed back then was also inconsistent in strength, leading to flaws in this formation's true operation. Powerful primordial spirits could attempt to break this formation. Though this Eastern lad is mediocre in strength, his primordial spirit is surprisingly strong. Leading these juniors, breaking this formation is not impossible."
“If the formation cannot be broken” Lu Xia Tian’s heart trembled upon hearing this. This old monster seemed to know so much about the Zi Shu Mo Di and the formations he had used in the past. He wondered how long this old monster had been around.
“If you can’t break it, you’re all going to die. Do you really think I’m here to save you” The old monster let out a cold snort. “As long as you give it your all, the matter of offending me before will be forgotten, and you don’t have to worry about me settling scores later. I’ll even provide you with a few more helpers.”
The situation was urgent. After speaking, the old monster directly passed on this Bingji Jinyuan Formation to Lu Xiaoteng.
Lu Xiaotian's divine sense trembled, secretly feeling the ingenuity and power of the Bingji Jinyuan Formation.
After teaching the formation, a giant hand shot out from within the Duko Stone Pagoda and struck directly at Zi Shu's ghostly shadow. At the same time, the Duko Stone Pagoda's form began to swell, trying to disrupt the enemy in this way.
Then, the Empty Stone Pagoda shimmered with fairy light, and three figures shot out from within. The one at the front had a face like jade, exceptionally handsome. He wore a black peacock crown, and his same-colored cloak billowed behind him. His whole body emanated an eerie and majestic aura.

On the left side, a fang protruded. Its upper body was smeared with blood, and its muscles bulged, giving off an explosive sense of power. There were bloody scales on its skin, like lines drawn by blood. They weren't real scales, but Lu Xia Tian could tell that the opponent belonged to the extremely rare Bloodscale Clan.
On the right stood an elderly woman with eyes bruised purple, her gray staff radiating a chilling aura like that of a graveyard. Her origins were unknown, but her presence dwarfed even that of the Golden Gu Cult monks.

Faced with dozens of Zi Shu water shadows, these three reinforcements were insignificant, like a drop in the bucket. Lu Xiaoteng's first reaction wasn't to feel confident about their chances of victory, but after thinking it over, he realized that the old monster must have his reasons for setting up such a plan.
With such overwhelming strength, this formidable monster would hardly do something meaningless. Even if it still couldn't defeat dozens of ZiShui Shuiying, at least with a full-force outburst, it should be able to delay for a while without any problems.
Lu Xia Tian thought to himself that these people's deaths and injuries wouldn't be taken to heart by the old monster. Even if they all died, he wouldn't bat an eyelid. However, it was undeniable that the other party was eager to break through the seal within the Dú Kòng Shí Tǎ (Tower of Transcending Void) and regain their freedom.
This monster used them to block the Purple Garrison Water Shadow, but his battle with the Purple Garrison Phantom was full of unknowns. This was also his chance to escape with Ning Qinghe and others.

Lu Xiaitian's eyes lit up, and he had already grasped the key point.
"Kong Shan wishes to ride the Eastern Vermilion Sage!" The man with a black peacock crown nodded slightly at Lu Xia Tian.
“I am willing to listen to the Eastern Divine Saint’s command and break through the formation!” The old woman with a gray staff, along with the men of the Blood Seal clan, also voiced their agreement.
“You three shall each stand in the positions of Kun, Kan, and Gen respectively, and advance rapidly forward. Halt when you receive the command.”
“Yu Shih, Yan Ping resides in Zhen, the Kun position stands guard. Jin Gu Mo Seng, Ning Qing He remains by my side to assist.”

With Lu XiaTian's primordial spirit, he had completed the refinement of the formation in the first instance. There were many imperfections within it that could only be continuously improved and adjusted during a magical battle. The rampant Purple Sentinel Water Shadows wouldn't give him the opportunity to calmly deduce and break the formation.
There will inevitably be casualties. Considering the states of Ning Qinghe and Jin Gu Mo Seng, Lu Xia Tian arranged them in a relatively less dangerous place.
After all, Lu Xia Tian's fight against the enemy wasn't just for a simple breakthrough, but to give himself and his entourage a chance to escape at any time.
Kongshen, the gray-staffed old woman, and the three blood-print scaled men were sent by the Old Monster sect. Chong Xiaotien naturally had to guard against them.
“Mawang Mo Yan!” Kong Shan’s cloak billowed, and a massive amount of black flames rose behind him, surging forward. Within this inferno of black flames, Kong Shan's handsome and upright figure became increasingly majestic and towering.
Coming from the magical powers of King Peacock Minhng Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. This Kong Shan is quite remarkable, his bloodline even more noble and unparalleled.
A wave of icy air struck, pushing back the mass of black flames. Kong Shan extended his wings behind him, flapping them powerfully as the wind fueled the flames, causing the previously dwindling black flames to surge again.
With a wave of her gnarled staff, the Hag shrouded in gray mist unleashed a tide of thousands upon thousands of skulls, rolling forward like an unstoppable wave.
