Chapter 408: Lei Zhu Escapes Danger

ernoon, an sound transmission note flew from outside the courtyard. Lu Xia Tian opened it, and inside, Wang De Feng's voice rang out, filled with surprise and a touch of regret. "Fellow Daoist Lu, you...Behind him, a flood of horse hooves surged. Just from the sound, there were already over a hundred of them. With the strength of those terracotta puppet soldiers, Lu Xia Tian's scalp tingled just thinking about it. He couldn't figure out the origins of this cave, hiding such immense danger. The terracotta head statue was even more mysterious, able to command hundreds of sixth-rank terracotta puppets with ease. It was probably at least a Golden Core cultivator who could do this. But why was this person trapped here

At this moment, Lu Xia Tian's mind flashed with several questions, but obviously now was not the time to daydream. After a brief pause, four or five sixth-tier Taoist puppet cavalrymen rushed out of the cave opening.

This place is still a heavy water region. If they could leave this silent star lake, with Emperor Kun's speed, these terracotta puppet minions wouldn't be able to do anything to him. But now it will take some time to leave the heavy water region, and that time is enough for the terracotta puppet minions to charge out. Looking at Mu Chai woman's anxious face, this talisman probably won't last much longer.

Time pressed, and at the mouth of the cave still stood a black-clad woman, her face etched with worry and uncertainty. She was covered by a glowy shield. That protective talisman was no ordinary one.

Only Lu Xia Tian's unique Thunder Pearl could stop these terracotta warrior puppets. This mysterious woman in black arrived unexpectedly, and Lu Xiao Tian guessed she was Zhao Yuan Jun's hidden plan to activate the One-Yuan Heavy Water Illusion Array from outside. In that case, there was no need for pity.

“Boost the speed to the maximum, or we’re all dead!” Lu XiaTian roared, brandishing the thunder orb in his hand.

This Thunder Bead was originally obtained from Lei Wan Tian in exchange, used to deal with threats that were beyond his capabilities. Normally, he would never be willing to use it lightly, but here, in this heavily restricted domain of heavy water, his speed was far inferior to usual. The terracotta puppet minions, however, were largely unaffected, and the spiritual power of the talismans summoned by the wooden-hair woman was almost depleted. Aside from the terracotta puppet minions, Lu Xia Tian was even more wary of the terracotta figurine head manipulating things from behind in the stone cave. That terracotta figurine's methods were too terrifying; if the Thunder Bead could eliminate it with one strike, it would be ideal.

The moment the Thunder Pearl was pulled out, the wooden hairpin woman sensed the violent and terrifying power of lightning within it. This was definitely not the technique of a Qi Refining cultivator. This Thunder Pearl, equivalent to the full-force strike of an early Golden Core cultivator, would terrify any Qi Refining cultivator, even instilling a sense of helplessness in them.

Even the proud and aloof Di Kun, known for his immunity to ordinary lightning, trembled slightly when the Lei Zhu appeared. As a Fei Tian Yin Shi creature, he was typically unharmed by conventional electrical forces. However, a strike from a Jin Dan Thunder cultivator could reduce him to ashes.

Lu Xiaitian would never allow Di Kun to be severely injured. As he summoned the Lei Zhu, he immediately put Di Kun into his storage bag and carefully protected it.

Without needing Lu Xiaitian to say more, the woman wielding the wooden staff channeled the last bit of spiritual energy from the talismans to its limits, increasing her speed severalfold.

The woman in black, shrouded within the light shield, witnessed this astonishing scene. She felt a wave of destructive energy sweeping over her, causing her face to pale with terror. Her feet froze, and her entire being reacted like an arrow released from its bow, moving at a speed that rivaled even Lu Xiaoteng and the wooden staff woman. She fled the cave mouth with incredible haste.

The Lei Zhu exploded with a deafening crack, and a terrifying electric light appeared at the mouth of the cave. The explosion created a tremendous shockwave that rippled through the water. The entire cave collapsed with a roar. As for the Taoist soldier puppets and war horses, they were torn apart like paper.

"Damn it, where did that Golden Core Thunder Cultivator come from!" The terracotta head inside the cave roared with fury. But at this time, he couldn't stop the power of the thunder pearl exploding. The passages of the cave were collapsing in a deafening roar, and large chunks of stone were falling down.

At this time, the surface of Silent Star Lake was also stirred up by a huge wave. With one strike of the Thunder Pearl, even this fathomless Silent Star Lake was tossed and turned so violently.

With a splash, several figures emerged from the water.

Lu Xia Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, flipping dozens of somersaults in the air before drifting hundreds of meters away like a fallen leaf. His figure finally stabilized. Although his cultivation was far superior to when he first left望月城 after establishing his foundation, seeing the terrifying scene before him still sent a shiver down his spine. The speed at which lightning conducted through water was astonishing. Although his strength had increased since then, last time, he was still in mid-air during the explosion. This time, within the重水之域, the power of lightning caught up with them at an unimaginable speed. If they hadn't been a distance away from the center of the explosion, even with his cultivation, he might not have been able to withstand it. As it was, a large amount of powerful lightning force had entered his body, just like last time.

I never expected that after my cultivation improved, the frequency of getting injured would actually increase. And each time it wasn't simple either. Lu Xia Tian was also a bit helpless about this, but right now, being able to pick up a life wouldn't be bad, especially since the Jixing Stone was already in hand.

With a whoosh, two more figures emerged from the swirling waves. One was the wooden-legged woman and the other the woman in black. Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly, extending his finger. Two gusts of wind lifted the two figures and placed them on the Qingfeng sail.

Qingfeng sailed quickly away from this perilous place. Sitting on Qingfeng, he tended to his injuries by himself. Being invaded by the power of a cultivator with a golden core was not the first time. Although suppressing such power was not easy, he had experienced it twice before. The process was just more cumbersome. For Lu Xiaitian, who had gone through many hardships, it wasn't a big deal.

The most urgent task now is to find a safe place to recuperate and eliminate the thunderous energy within his body, while using the Starless Stone to heal his leg injuries. Once his legs recover, his combat power will definitely reach new heights.

Having made up his mind, despite his injuries, Lu Xia Tian kept piloting the Qingfeng Sail at top speed, leaving this seemingly tranquil but actually perilous Silent Star Lake. He had a premonition that the mysterious terracotta head statue wouldn't simply die so easily in the cave. After all, the terracotta head statue was clearly already beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Thunder Pearl was only equivalent to the full force of a Golden Core Stage thunder cultivator. It was merely relatively troublesome for the terracotta head statue.

Fearing the terracotta figureheads, Lu Xiao traveled thousands of miles after leaving Ji Xing Lake and evaded two waves of cultivators from other realms before finally settling down in a mountain stream nestled amidst towering peaks.

At this time, both the woman with the wooden staff and the woman in black had already woken up. He had only rescued these two people out of kindness before, but now that they were awake, it would be impossible for him to take them with him so easily. However, the woman with the wooden staff was quite skilled in formations. Perhaps she could help him clear up some of his doubts about formations.irit creatures alone.There were nearly 50 million pieces of medium-grade and low-grade spirit crystals on hand. The harvest Lu Xiaoteng had gathered in the past was nowhere near as much as what he obt...
