Thanks to his state of ethereal tranquility during the foundation-building period's alchemy practice, Lu Xia Tian had some insights into the art of refining elixirs with a raging fire. His control over the heat was far superior to that of fellow alchemists at the same level. 。At the beginning, after consuming five Huitian Pills, dozens of stone soldier corpses were piled up in the narrow stone passage. Only then was a furnace of centipede puppets refined, and two pills remained. 。Lu Xia Tian tried to refine the Huitian Dan using a stronger fire, but the Huitian Dan, being a high-level elixir, was far from comparable to the Wu Hua Dan he had refined during his Qi Refining period. 。Having failed to refine two furnaces in a row, if it were ordinary times, Lu Xia Tian could still continue his experiments calmly. However, under these circumstances, each time he needed to hasten the ripening of a Huitian Dan, it required a massive amount of spirit stones. Although Lu Xia Tian had quite a number of spirit stones on him, they were dwindling with every use. 。And at this time, the situation was too fragile to afford too many mistakes, but fortunately he used the method of wounding the stone soldiers to delay time. 。 The two damaged terracotta warriors before them had only about half their previous attack power. Even if they were hit, they wouldn't inflict much damage. 。The height and width of the cave do not allow more stone soldiers to enter. 。Lu Xia Tian temporarily abandoned the way of increasing firepower for alchemy, and the success rate began to rise. 。Only then was Lu Xia Tian's consumption and supply balanced. 。As the strongest, red-gold stone soldier returned, it also realized that this method was not right. It began to withdraw redundant counterparts from the passage, then only sent two stone soldiers into the passage each time. Once their strength dropped to a level that could no longer threaten Lu Xia Tian, ??it immediately replaced them with other counterparts. 。middle bronze-gold figurine personally brought another one of its kind closer.>。Having been seriously injured again by Lu Xiaoteng's Dan Yuan Huo Jiao arrow, his old wounds still fresh, Chijin Stone Statue almost met its end within the cave. After being snatched back by its own kin, it never dared to personally lead the charge once more. 。...but constantly drives the same kind ... 。As a result, although there were no dense rows of stone figurines inside the cave, it didn't create the same visual pressure. 。Actually, Lu Xiaoteng's burden suddenly became much heavier. 。The punches and kicks landing on Lu Xia Tian increased, but with the continuous refining of medicinal pills, Lu Xia Tian's skill in alchemy also improved continuously. The success rate of Huitian Dan and several other healing pills was getting higher and higher. 。The battle inside the cave never stopped. Lu Xia Tian's main primordial spirit fought tirelessly against the stone warriors, while his deputy primordial spirit spent day and night refining pills. 。Lu XiaTian forgot the passage of time, simply immersing himself in the battles and alchemy. 。Continuously striking the terracotta figures <<< 。Then, he continuously got hit by the stone soldiers' fists and feet. One by one, his ribs broke, but they gradually recovered during the battle. 。The spirit stones within the barrier are dwindling, but the quality of the Huitian Dan is increasing. A furnace of top-grade Huitian Dan can be compared to several furnaces of high or medium-grade ones. 。Lu Xia Tian was also able to persist for longer. 。However, spirit stones are finite after all, but Lu Xia Tian didn't notice these things. Fighting and alchemy had already diverted all his attention. 。One day, inside a stone cave, a young man with red scales all over his body had a cold expression. He looked up and let out a long roar, shaking the dust in the cave down. 。The youth pounded his chest with both hands, his whole body radiating red light. 。After an unknown number of days, a fierce aura surged around Lu Xia Tian's body. 。Inside the cave, lay the bodies of countless stone soldiers. 。One day, when Lu Xiaoteng stood outside the cave again, there were still hundreds of stone soldiers surrounding him. However, including the red gold stone soldier, they all looked at Lu Xiaoteng with fear and did not dare to come forward for a while. 。Stepping out of the stone cave again, although the yellow sand was swirling outside, Lu Xia Tian felt an unusual sense of familiarity. 。How many days he remained unseen by the sun. 。But what was strange was that the billowing yellow sand seemed to have no effect on his body whatsoever. It wasn't because the 《Ta Hao Battle Physique》 had broken through to the third layer. Even with a powerful physique, one could still feel the cutting power of the yellow sand. It was just that his strong defense wouldn't be easily injured by the sand. 。Could it be because of the pale gold crystal inside the Terracotta Warrior's body? After thinking about it, Lu Xia tian could only think that this was possible. 。Dozens of stone carvings are circling overhead, and the ground includes over a hundred stone figurines, including red gold stone soldiers. 。Even though he was fighting day and night inside the stone cave, his flesh being hammered by the stone soldiers constantly, and elixir continuously repairing him under the threat of death at any moment, the broke through to the later stage of the third layer in succession, already comparable to a sixth-rank body refiner. 。That is to say, relying solely on physical strength, he has already reached the late stage of Qi refining. However, as a cultivator of physical arts, his power far surpasses that of a late-stage Qi refining cultivator. 。However, his own cultivation level fell behind his physical training. Nevertheless, he made great strides and broke through the constraints. Now, he is at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. Although it's only one level apart from before, it represents the difference between the middle stage and early stage of Foundation Establishment. 。At this time, the spirit stones within the barrier and the pills for returning to heaven were already completely consumed. 。Even though he had made great progress in his cultivation and was now among the strongest foundation-building cultivators, he was still not enough to directly challenge over a hundred stone statues, including the red gold stone statue, as well as the dozens of stone carvings swirling above their heads. 。Lu Xiaotian's ability to stand here naturally stems from a secret discovered during a battle. 。About the deadly secret of the Terracotta Warriors, he was already a fifth-rank Body Tempering Cultivator at that time. The Returning Heaven Pill had been consumed, and all kinds of healing pills were also used up. 。The terracotta warriors outside are still advancing in ranks. 。Lu Xia Tian thought he was about to die. His cards were exhausted, and there was nothing more he could do. Despite his best efforts, he still ended up in this situation. Frustrated, he punched a stone figurine's chest, accidentally shattering the pale gold prismatic crystal inside it. As he was drenched by the golden liquid within, a wave of comfort spread through his body, causing his injuries to heal at an astonishing rate. 。And my exhausted body was filled with strength again. 。...thanks to this, killing a stone soldier would grant him a chance to replenish his energy. With this, he could survive day after day of fighting and bloodshed. The medicinal pill made from the flesh of the seven-tiered fire dragon had long been exhausted, and the passage in the cave was almost filled with the corpses of the stone soldiers. Through countless hammer blows, his body finally reached its current strength... 。Because he gained golden crystals by killing the terracotta warriors, which could repair his body functions in a very short time, he dared to counter-kill. 。However, as Taihao Zhanti's cultivation deepened, the nourishing effect of the pale golden crystal on his body also weakened slightly. 。Perhaps having lost too many of their kind, these stone soldiers began to feel a sense of fear towards Lu Xia Tian. 。The Red Gold Stone Soldier! Lu Xia Tian's petite body tensed like a coiled cheetah, then suddenly shot forward, charging towards the Red Gold Stone Soldier with reckless abandon. He knew the best way to defeat an enemy was to take down their leader first. 。Ordinary stone soldiers are commanded by the red gold stone soldier. If this red gold stone soldier were to be killed, perhaps the situation would change significantly. The effect of the shallow gold crystal on Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation of physical body has become unclear. 。There is no value left here. 。Perhaps the crystal inside this bronze figurine still has some use. 。Seeing Lu XiaTian rush over, the stone figurine group stirred. 。The human before them was too terrifying, far beyond their capabilities. Too many of their kind had already died at the hands of humans. 。With a clang! The blazing Inferno Sword flashed out, needing no prompting for its blade to ignite. With Lu Xia Tian's current physical strength, even an ordinary weapon could unleash unimaginable killing power. 。Two bronze figurines in the front, with pale gold coloring, were beheaded by two swords. 。Lu Xia Tian's body did a somersault, landing in front of the red-gold stone sculpture. 。The Chijin stone soldier roared, a rough and guttural sound. Its only remaining arm clenched into a fist and swung towards Lu Xia tian. 。Test how strong this red gold stone soldier truly is 。Lu XiaTian inhaled sharply, and with the same unwillingness to yield, punched back. 。 。A sharp pain shot through his fist, more intense than if he had been struck by the light-gold terracotta soldier. 。He stared in astonishment at the crimson stone figurine, which had only swayed slightly. In terms of sheer power, the crimson stone figurine seemed to surpass him. 。Seeing that Lu Xia Tian had suffered a loss at his hands, the Chijin Stone Sculpture roared with excitement. It had always been wary of the powerful set of bows and arrows in Lu Xia Tian's hands. Now that Lu Xia Tian chose to fight it at close range, even with only one arm, the Chijin Stone Sculpture was confident that it could kill this human. 。Seizing the opportunity as the human race was yet to establish itself, the crimson bronze statue of a warrior regained its confidence and rushed towards Lu Xia Tian like a whirlwind. Its legs moved like mountains, faster than the pale gold statue. 。Even though he was already a sixth-rank Body Refinement Master, in close combat, he was still somewhat inferior to this red gold stone golem. 。From just a brief exchange, Lu Xia Tian already understood. Since his opponent's strength was superior, he wouldn't be foolish enough to attack their strengths with his weaknesses. The earlier test was merely to gauge the other party's abilities. 。Facing the attack of the chijin stone soldiers, Lu Xia Tian once again drew out his Chihuo Lifire Sword. 。Alchemists are extremely rare throughout the cultivation world. Someone like Huo Yueming, who can cultivate to the Golden Core stage, must have extraordinary fortune. 。But the development of magical weapons has been passed down from ancient times. Even cultivators of the same rank, no matter how powerful their physical bodies are, cannot directly withstand the blazing flames of the Blazing Fire Sword with their flesh. 。Lu Xia Tian snorted coldly, directly pouring all of his mana into the Chi Yan Li Huo Sword. 。He has successfully advanced to the fourth level of foundation building. His magical power is not only a breakthrough in quantity, but also a significant improvement in quality compared to before. 。The once crimson sword glow has begun to turn purple-red. 。The two giant stone carvings that were originally charging down were cut in half by Lu XiaTian's sword. 。A sound like cleaving the hardest metal, even a cultivator with low cultivation would faint directly after hearing it. 。Lü Xiaotiān unleashed all his magical power in a single sword strike, but he still failed to cleave through the right leg of the Chijin Stone Sculpture with one blow. However, the intense battle just now had also cut into it slightly. 。In terms of pure power, the Chi Yan Lìhuǒ Sword was still slightly inferior to the Huijiao Bow and Arrows. However, even so, the Chìjīnshíyǒng was incredibly surprised and angry. It retracted its legs, but its right leg was seriously injured, making its movements several points slower than before. 。The surrounding stone soldiers rushed forward, wanting to save their leader. Lu Xia Tian killed several of them in succession, slashing one's chest directly and smashing the golden crystal heart inside, replenishing his physical strength consumption. 。The golden crystal obtained from the stone warriors was enough to replenish the body's consumption during the fierce battle. 。Apart from the Chi-Jin Stone Warrior, ordinary Stone Warriors' attacks would be unable to inflict significant damage upon him in a short period of time. 。。After breaking through the obstruction of ordinary stone soldiers, the red-gold stone soldier's speed greatly decreased and it was unable to retreat far. 。Lu Xia Tian would only unleash the full power of this sword when facing the Crimson Gold Stone Golems. Against ordinary stone golems, the Blazing Inferno Sword's inherent sharpness, coupled with his terrifying strength, was already enough to deliver devastating blows. 。A flurry of blows, Chijin Stone Soldiers and Lu Xia Tian were now mere inches apart. 。There was no escaping now, the human's speed was too fast. The crimson gold stone soldier felt the threat to its life and fought back desperately, its entire body flashing like lightning towards Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian dodged, circling directly behind the crimson gold stone soldier, and just about to thrust his sword at the back of its heart. 。The terracotta warrior's body leaned forward, its hind legs kicked up like a scorpion's tail, swinging viciously towards Lu Xiaottian's torso. 。Lu Xia Tian's eyelids jumped. He didn't expect this red gold statue to have this kind of trick up its sleeve, but with his speed, dodging it wouldn't be difficult at all. 。Lu Xiaitian was just about to dodge when dozens of ordinary stone soldiers suddenly flew towards him. 。For a moment, there was no way to retreat. Although with his skill, it wouldn't be difficult to kill a few of them, thirteen stone soldiers were equivalent to thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if he killed a few in an instant, the others would inevitably swarm him. Once they grabbed him, the bronze-gold stone soldier would turn around and beat him mercilessly. Even with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to escape unharmed. 。What a ruthless tactic, Lü Xia Tian's eyelids twitched. Stone soldiers were swarming him from all sides, leaving only an upward breakthrough. 。He hesitated not one bit, kicking the back leg of the flying bronze figurine with a powerful kick. Using the force of the blow, his body shot into the air like a bullet. 。The stone carvings circling in the air saw their chance and swooped down, flapping their wings. One grabbed Lu Xiaoteng with its claws and tore at him fiercely, but it couldn't break through. Several other stone carvings also rushed forward, wanting to peck at him with their beaks. 。Seeing the incredibly sharp beak of the sculpture, Lu Xiaotian's heart turned cold. He waved his Chi Yan Li Huo sword wildly, hacking at the approaching stone sculptures. A few were unable to withstand his attack; two had their wings cut off, and their bodies lost balance as they plummeted into the air. 。 。After being harmed, the surrounding stone carvings rushed closer quickly and fiercely, but didn't actually come over. Meanwhile, the stone carving that had grabbed Lu Xia Tian rapidly flapped its wings, and the ground statues drastically shrunk. 。Then suddenly let go of its claws. 。Lu Xiaoteng's body fell to the ground like a stone. 。In the stone carving's limited memory, when encountering some prey that could not be torn apart, it was also killed in this way. 。 |
