Chapter 418: The Abyssal Elephant Leaping into the Plain

ul, but not particularly significant for those present. Besides the alchemy and artifact masters, everyone else was already a great cultivator, and even with the defensive capabilities of a Yuan Ying...Could spiritual root potential really be that important for forming the Golden Core After a wry smile, Lu Xia Tian lowered his head in contemplation, recalling what the wisp of Yuan Shen left behind by the Primordial Daoist in the Primordial Dao Canon had said. 。With his aptitude, there wasn't a shred of hope he could successfully form the Golden Core. 。Lu Xia Tian's eyes suddenly became sharp, the previous frustration of failing to form a dan disappeared completely, replaced by an unwavering determination and fearlessness. 。He has come a long way, from a Qi cultivator to this point, overcoming countless hardships. He's faced danger many times, barely escaping with his life. It's a combination of strength and luck that got him here. But regardless of how he managed it, besides strength and luck, what truly drives him is the refusal to believe in defeat, the unwillingness to accept failure, and the burning ambition within him. 。Unable to form a pill with ordinary methods, it seems that the only way is to use the formation pill method. 。Although his previous attempt to form the Golden Core had failed, Lu Xiaoteng had a profound and unforgettable experience of the immense spiritual power released when the Golden Core was formed within the body. 。Even the spiritual energy generated by a single golden elixir could be unbearable for a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. 。And he, relying on his powerful physique cultivated through six levels of physical training, managed to endure. 。At this time, it has also broken through the shackles of the ninth level of foundation building. The spiritual power it can accommodate in its body is more, but even so, it is only about half more than when it was at the ninth level of foundation building. 。If he were to take two Golden Condensation Pills at the same time, even he would be unable to withstand it. 。To say nothing of taking five Golden Condensing Pills at once, each possessing a different attribute's spiritual energy—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They interact in cycles of generation and destruction, and five such energies are nearly impossible to coexist within a single dantian. Even the slightest misstep could result in his body exploding, leaving no exception even for a sixth-rank cultivator. 。

When failure comes, there is only death.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes gradually recovered from their frenzy, becoming clear and filled with an unprecedented firmness. 。"It seems like there's no need to stay here any longer." 。Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment. Over the past three and a half years, his primordial spirit had repeatedly simulated the Five Elements Formation, practically equivalent to the cultivation of an ordinary cultivator for over a decade. 。Having attained a certain level of proficiency in the Five Elements Formation, coupled with several years of prior study, he had spent quite some time delving into the art of formations, laying a solid foundation. 。He also had a clear understanding of the principles behind the Five Element Array. Over the past few years, he had set up many arrays in different ways. 。The master leads you to the door, but your cultivation depends on yourself. 。Lu Xia Tian was somewhat fortunate that he had made the decision beforehand, luckily having kept a backup plan. Now that alchemy was unsuccessful, he could still implement his second option. 。...While I have already laid a certain foundation for my own strategy, otherwise starting from scratch would likely require me to put in a considerable amount of effort... 。And it's not easy to find people like Master Chen and the woman skilled in wooden staff formations. 。It's not easy to make the other party carefully teach oneself. 。Having put away all the chessboards, Lu Xia Tian let out a slight sigh and, with his sword, soared towards the direction of Maple Leaf Valley. 。

Hmm Returning to the empty Maple Valley, Lu Xia Tian felt that the few auras of varying strengths in Maple Valley seemed to have disappeared all at once. How could they just vanish Lu Xia Tian's heart rose with a hint of caution. Suddenly, a roar that shook the heavens came from afar.

"Black Abyss Elephant" Lu Xia Tian was startled. From the Black Abyss Elephant's enraged roar, it definitely wasn't from the direction of the望月 Mountain Range. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the Great Yuan Kingdom. 。Could it be that the Black Abyss has entered the heartland of the Great Yuan Nation

Over these past three years, there have been occasional instances where demonic beasts broke through the cultivators' resistance at the Maple Leaf Valley and entered the Great Yuan Nation. After all, the number of cultivators at the Maple Leaf Valley is limited and they can't be everywhere. 。Most crises could be solved by these foundation-building cultivators, but he had seen the strength of the Black Abyss Elephant. Back when he was at the eighth level of foundation building, he hadn't gained much advantage against it. 。Moreover, these people would be hard pressed to withstand the onslaught of the Black Abyss beast. Even Mu Chai women with their formations facing such a wide-ranging attack, it's likely that their formidable physical strength wouldn't hold up. 。And the wooden staff woman also gave him several powerful defensive formations. 。As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xia Tian flew on his sword towards the direction where Hei Yuan Xiang was. 。The flying sword broke through the air, moving forward with incredible speed. At this moment, his strength increased again, and Lu Xia Tian's speed while riding the sword also surged significantly. With just an ordinary black magic sword, his speed nearly reached the level he had when riding the Qingfeng Sail. 。Not long after, below them stretched a vast plain, dotted with low houses. 。 。When casually chatting with the Mu Chai woman, Lu Xia Tian learned that although Dayuan Kingdom was vast, there were large areas that were swampy and infested with miasma, unsuitable for human habitation. 。And there are many mountainous areas, and they do not produce much grain. Only the narrow strip of land along the edge of Mount Wanting Mountain Range is a vast plain. It is the output of this plain that supports most of the population of Great Yuan Country and sustains this secular nation. 。This plain, being closer to the Moon-Watching Mountains, was inevitably plagued by monster attacks from time to time. 。Every year, a large number of soldiers, commoners, and low-level cultivators die in the Great Yuan Kingdom. However, in order to make a living, these commoners have to live here for generations. After experiencing countless casualties, they have become accustomed to it. 。This struggle between humans and monsters has been playing out generation after generation. 。The Great Yuan Nation, being not too far from the Moonlit Mountain Range, had been in a long-standing struggle with demonic beasts. This conflict had also drawn in some human cultivators. 。Through all the past battles, we haven't suffered too many losses. Casualties are inevitable. 。However, it's the first time I've encountered a Level Six peak Black Abyss Elephant intruding into the plain like this. 。Seven cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage surrounded a black-haired behemoth that was over ten meters tall. It was even larger than the one Lu Xia Tian had seen before. 。Seven magical weapons attacked the black-haired giant elephant frenziedly. 。Though attacks may sometimes land on the black-haired giant elephant's body, ordinary weapons are unlikely to inflict significant damage. They are all blocked by its thick, dark fur, which provides surprisingly good defense. 。Only Muchai Woman's azure Dan Yuan sword could inflict some damage on the Black-haired Giant Elephant, but with the elephant's astonishing self-healing ability, Muchai Woman's magical power was depleted. The Black-haired Giant Elephant's wounds were healing at a visible speed. At this rate, before the elephant suffered much harm, Muchai Woman would be the first to collapse. 。"Master, this isn't working. Our computing power is depleted, and we can't defeat this terrifying Black Abyss Elephant." 。A scholar, his face etched with worry, said: 。“I know that very well. Right now, we can only hold off this Black Abyss Elephant and wait for the giant crossbows to arrive. We'll see if we can drive it back. Behind us is Giant Que City. If this Black Abyss Elephant breaks into Giant Que City and damages its walls, how will we face the onslaught of monsters in the future” The wooden hairpin woman gritted her teeth and continued to control the blue magic sword to attack the Black Abyss Elephant. 。
