Chapter 2425: Golden Leaf Fran
powerful cultivator who has reached the realm of Nascent Soul. 。With Zhou Yu's cooperation, Lu Xiaofeng's task became much easier. The hard and extremely sharp halberd in his hand specifically target...Four cultivators at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm were teaming up to fight a saber-toothed demon bear. How did this happen What brought these people together Lu Xia Tian had a lot of questions swirling in his head. The massive energy fluctuations caused by their battle affected his divine sense, but because he was too far away, Lu Xia Tian couldn't understand the specifics of what was going on.
As mere four nascent Core Formation cultivators, they were naturally no match for the Saber-Tooth Bear Demon. However, judging by its appearance, that Saber-Tooth Demon Bear seemed to have some reservations, unwilling to let them go but also not releasing these few Core Formation cultivators. It was clearly intending to silence them.
“In this situation, it must be that the saber-toothed tiger demon is apprehensive.” If he were to join them, there would be five people in total. Compared to that, if they truly faced the saber-toothed tiger demon, with him possessing the cave map and familiarity with the terrain, his chances of escaping would be several times greater than others. It's not necessarily that he would be kept by the opponent.”
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and began to approach the vortex where the fight was taking place. A wave of heat swept over him. Compared to before, where he had been refining pills, this place was like heaven and earth.
This is a place where several powerful cultivators at the Integration Realm engage in fierce battles. Molten lava surges like waves, causing tremors and upheavals. The flames dance wildly. Such a harsh environment would not be sustainable for even those in the Divine Void Realm or the Blazing Rock Clan. They couldn't endure it for long before turning to ash. Let alone engaging in combat here.
“These guys actually broke into the forbidden zone that the Chiyan Clan has never dared to approach for generations.” Lu Xia Tian recalled a forbidden zone described on the map, which was exactly in this location. However, the area was much larger than what was described. Perhaps several cultivators at the Fusion Realm level fought here, causing a large-scale collapse and making magma from deep underground surge out. This unvisited forbidden zone expanded to a larger range.”
The destructive power of the earthfire here is also noticeably more terrifying.
Several powerful fighters from the Fusion Realm battled fiercely, with swords energy swirling around them. The Xiong Yao demon was domineering and unstoppable, its power wreaking havoc everywhere. Within a radius of nearly a thousand miles, the melting caves trembled like an earthquake. In some places where the rock formations were less stable, fragments began to crumble and fall under varying degrees of shaking.
Before he even saw the crowd of people engaged in a fierce duel, Lu Xia Tian could already smell a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

"What kind of treasure is this" Lu Xia Tian inhaled deeply and felt a surge of energy. The ancient Buddha imprint within his Zhen Yao Pagoda, which he had cultivated for many years without taking on a true form, now seemed to be brimming with power.
“One of the three holy relics of Buddhism, the Golden Leaf Bodhi!” Lu Xia Tian’s eyes suddenly flashed with a compelling light. He had walked between two worlds for so many years, and he only obtained the Silver Leaf Bodhi by chance, while the Golden Leaf Bodhi and the Pure World Lotus were always just legends.
Lu Xia Tian, though he had never seen her true face, the only possible person whose presence could cause such a resonance within him from the Zufofo Ancient Seal was Jin Ye Buddha Lotus.
With just four cultivators in the middle stage of alchemy, they are absolutely no match for the saber-toothed bear demon. The reason why they have persisted until now is probably because the saber-toothed bear demon is worried that a violent fight will affect the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, such a rare and precious treasure.
“Lotus Flower Clone!” Lu Xiaoteng’s mind flashed, recalling the process of obtaining the Golden Scale Blood Crow Essence before. Originally, Lu Xiaoteng had used the Lotus Flower Clone to obtain the treasure to prevent trouble from the leader of the Ta Su Tiger Clan after he took the Golden Scale Blood Crow Essence. Unexpectedly, he encountered the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast Niu Kun in that Blood Fiend Valley, allowing him to escape early and avoid a lot of trouble.
At this time, facing such a situation, he couldn't drive these guys away. He had the lotus avatar lurking on one side, waiting for an opportunity to seize it.
After learning the intent of the main body, the lotus avatar flickered a few times and disappeared into another branch path hidden within the depths.
After a slight arrangement, Lu Xia Tian approached the place where magma was rolling without haste. Even with Lu Xia Tian's powerful physique, he couldn't help but feel the astonishing heat in this situation, but it was still within his tolerance range, and there was no need to deliberately use treasures to resist. This way, he could save some energy.
"Four short-lived ghosts already, and now another one comes to deliver himself. Human boy, this emperor had been searching for you for quite some time, thinking you had escaped. Unexpectedly, there is a way to heaven but you don't take it, and you charge into hell."
Below, magma rolled like a raging sea, and the figures of the few were yet to be seen. The laughter of the saber-toothed demon bear echoed in their ears like thunder.
“Fellow cultivator, this old demon wants to get the treasure for himself and kill us all to cover his tracks. Since you've been discovered by him, things look grim. Let’s join forces to fight him; perhaps we stand a chance of survival.” At this moment, a woman’s voice also rang out. Judging from her tone, she was clearly feeling the pressure brought by the saber-toothed bear demon.
By the time this woman's voice reached Lu Xiaoteng's ears, it was already extremely faint. Before Lu Xiaoteng could react, demonic energy gathered and roared behind him. From the hazy black air, a seven-foot tall black bear clad in heavy armor roared out, wielding a heavy hammer in each hand. One of the hammers flew towards Lu Xiaoteng like a meteor.

Lu Xiaotian slapped back with his hand, a giant palm print covering the giant hammer. With a boom, the black light on the hammer exploded like spikes, piercing through Lu Xiaotian's palm directly.
“What a formidable artifact.” Lu XiaTian’s eyes narrowed. This hammer didn't seem to have many changes, but it was incredibly fast and possessed extraordinary attack power.
“This technique of external incarnation is quite profound.”
"Human boy, your mouth is quite big. Watch how this king crushes your balls." The Zhang Er Hei Xiong grinned ferociously and strode towards Lu Xia Tian.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"To think that a mere avatar would dare to oppose me, you old demon, you're overestimating yourself." Lu Xia Tian shook his head. When it came to vision, Lu Xia Tian considered himself no less than this saber-toothed bear demon. He had even encountered powerful beings like the Nine-Eyed Owl and Ye Qian Xun. He had personally slain cultivators at the peak of the Fusion Stage, such as the Tusuo Twin Emperors. The saber-toothed bear demon before him, in terms of aura alone, posed little threat to him.
For ordinary combined cultivators, the saber-toothed bear demon's avatar was also relatively powerful. Its strength was similar to that of the saber-toothed bear demon's main body. Although not as strong, it was still awe-inspiring. Moreover, its attack power was real and effective.
However, for Lu Xiaoteng, it wasn't a significant threat. The double-weighted hammers wielded by this incarnation of the bear spirit were indeed formidable, but they could only pose a danger if they landed a blow. This Bear Demon, taking the form of a two-zhang black bear, was no different from ordinary monsters. It could only operate within a certain radius around its body and couldn't act as an independent cultivator like his Lotus Avatar.
Once it leaves the range of the saber-toothed tiger demon god's perception, its avatar becomes utterly useless.
Facing such a monster, Lu Xiaoteng didn't need to exert much effort. As the two-meter black bear swung its hammer, Lu Xiaoteng's main body flickered, and in an instant, dozens of shadows appeared.
With a deafening clang, the massive hammer struck the ground, sending tremors through the earth and showering sparks of molten rock. several distinct auras inside, including those of Wushan Old Demon and Mingyu Palace Master's projections, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.“The young are to be feared, the young are to b...
