Lu Ping was able to annihilate four true demons with the Natal Origin Time Array Formation. Not to mention, there was also the Pegasus Clan Master's joint attack. So how could the remaining two true demons pose a threat to him?
However, Lu Ping still had to conceal his true strength. At the same time, the human True Spirit cultivator, Mi Xuance, also attacked with all his might. The two true demons that were already heavily injured by Lu Ping's [Sky-Boiling Sword Art] didn't last long before they died in the hands of the two.
However, no more true demons were teleported over from the remaining two altars. Mi Xuance heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, Lu Daoyou took the opportunity to heavily injure the two true demons, and no more true demons were teleported over from these two altars. Otherwise, this battle would have been really dangerous!"
Lu Ping smiled. He naturally knew how much strength he had left. It was obviously not because they were lucky that the two altars did not teleport any true demons over. Lu Ping was more willing to believe that the mastermind hiding in the tunnel formation had determined that it was meaningless to send more true demons to besiege him after he killed eight true demons in a row.
"What do you plan to do next, Lu Daoyou?"
After witnessing Lu Ping's powerful strength, Mi Xuance had already made up his mind to follow the North Sea Water Sword Immortal.
Mi Xuance had a clear understanding of his own abilities. In such an unknown situation where danger lurked everywhere, relying on a powerful person was undoubtedly the greatest hope of survival. At least, with the favor of helping the Water Sword Immortal fend off the true demon, as long as the Water Sword Immortal lent a helping hand to the best of her abilities, he might be able to avoid a disaster.
As for what happened in the battle that was sealed by the sword light barrier and how the Tenma people's leader died, Mi Xuance did not know and did not want to know.
Moreover, so what if the Tenma people's leader died in a strange way? Would anyone seek justice for the Tenma people's leader at such a critical moment?
Lu Ping could more or less guess the True Spirit Cultivator's thoughts. However, before the mastermind was revealed, Lu Ping naturally did not mind having more allies.
"This should be a ring shaped array space. After every True Spirit Cultivator enters the passage formation, they will randomly enter one of the spaces, and those True Demons will use the altar to travel back and forth between these array spaces to support each other."
Lu Ping told Mi Xuance about what he vaguely saw on the ice wall before he entered the passageway formation, as well as the speculations he gained after breaking through a few formation spaces in a row.
"Earlier, Fellow Mi destroyed two altars and opened up two formation spaces. From the traces left behind in them, it's obvious that two fellow Daoists have died in the hands of the true demons. Those true demons must have left through the altars after killing the two fellow Daoists. Perhaps the two true demons that came to attack me and the Tenma people through the altars came from these two formation spaces."
Mi Xuance already understood Lu Ping's thoughts. "Then, shall we continue to destroy the altars and break the formation barriers so that we can meet up with more Daoists?"
Lu Ping did not mind Mi Xuance addressing him as "we". He nodded. "That's right. However, there's no need to rush too much. Let's break the formation spaces and meet up with the other Daoists. With our combined strength, we can easily deal with a spatial barrier as long as there aren't more than three true demons that appear."
Lu Ping paused. "Of course, it'll be best if we meet other Daoists, but it's safer to eliminate these true demons."
Mi Xuance naturally had no objections. He only said, "I'll leave it to Lu Daoyou to decide."
Lu Ping did not argue any further. He nodded at Mi Xuance and pushed the altar behind Mi Xuance. Under Mi Xuance's shocked gaze, the huge altar collapsed soundlessly. The huge stones it was made of turned to dust. However, before the dust could fly, an invisible cloud of water vapor filled the air above the altar, suppressing all the dust.
The spatial barrier collapsed, and the sounds of battle rang out from the other side of the formation space. Lu Ping and Mi Xuance looked at each other before summoning their spirit treasures and charging inside.
A huge green serpent swam around in the space, fighting evenly with the two true demons. Lu Ping charged in and was stunned to see the green serpent's true spirit. For a moment, he could not tell who this green serpent was.
The green serpent was overjoyed when it saw Lu Ping. "Lu Daoyou came at the right time. Lend the Old Man a hand!"
As it spoke, Lu Ping's pure Yang flying sword slashed at one of the true demons. At the same time, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's Senior Chu?"
The green serpent laughed loudly. "It's the Old Man!"
From Lu Ping's senses, Chu Fanyun's strength was similar to that of the Rainbow Tiger Clan's leader and the old ape. Although he had reached the late stage of the True Spirit Realm, he was still quite a distance away from the perfected stage. However, the green serpent's strength was that of the genuine perfected stage of the True Spirit Realm. How could Lu Ping not be puzzled?
Although he was puzzled, Lu Ping did not slow down at all. With Mi Xuance's help, the three of them quickly killed the two true demons.
In the meantime, one of the true demons tried to escape toward the sacrificial altar. Seeing that Chu Fanyun was certain that the true demon had nowhere to run, Lu Ping did not take it to heart. He knew that Chu Fanyun still did not know about the sacrificial altar's function, so he hurriedly chased after the true demon and killed it with his sword.
Seeing that Chu Fanyun was puzzled, Lu Ping told him about his previous guess.
Chu Fanyun's expression was solemn as he said, "Based on this, Lu Daoyou's guess should be correct. This means that at least three Fellow Daoists have fallen to the true demons' attacks?"
Without waiting for Lu Ping's reply, Mi Xuance answered for Lu Ping, "That's right. The Tenma people's leader, Fellow Yao Xian, and Fellow Gao Lingfeng of the Lingyun Valley have all fallen. Among them, I only found fragments of useful soul treasures and some tattered, bloodied clothes in two of the formation spaces. I did not see their corpses."
Chu Fanyun nodded and sighed. "Mara is bloodthirsty. The corpses of those two Fellow Daoists have probably been devoured by the true demons. Since that's the case, let's do as Lu Daoyou suggested. We'll break through the formation barriers one by one and exterminate these true demons while rescuing the other Fellow Daoists."
With that, Chu Fanyun, who had transformed into his human form, pulled out a green leather pouch from behind him.
Lu Ping's gaze suddenly froze as he looked at the green leather pouch. Feeling the elegant yet biting cold aura from the pouch, Lu Ping could not help but ask, "Senior, could this be …"
Chu Fanyun patted the green leather pouch in his hand and nodded. "This is one of the three molted skins that Jiao Daoren left for me, the Green Sea Snakes. It is precisely because of these three molted skins that I, the Green Sea Snakes, can completely use the skins of three Pure Yang Cultivators to become three True Spirit Cultivators. Therefore, the Green Sea Snakes do not need to maintain the True Spirit Inheritance in a Small Chiliocosm like the sacred land of the human race."
"This time, the Old Man brought one out from the tribe. From now on, the Green Sea Snakes will only have two treasures left."
"However, the Pure Yang Cultivators are still unable to fully utilize the effects of these three molted skins. Only the True Spirit Cultivators will be able to display their true power."
Lu Ping nodded and thought to himself, "It seems that the Green Sea Snakes do not have the cultivation realm after inheriting the True Spirit Inheritance. Chu Fanyun himself does not know that when his cultivation increases after putting on the skin, he will be able to reach the perfect first True Spirit Realm."
Chu Fanyun put away the green leather pouch and was about to destroy the altar in front of him. However, a loud noise came from the side of the formation space where the Tenma people were previously at.
The three of them were taken aback and immediately fled in that direction. They saw that the formation barrier there had already been broken, and a few rays of light rushed in through the gap. A few large-scale magical abilities and spells then bombarded the surroundings indiscriminately.
However, they quickly realized that there was no one else here. They gathered together to protect each other, not daring to be careless. Suddenly, they heard a pleasantly surprised voice. "Is it Senior Long Huai? This junior is Lu Ping!"
