Xiao Lingyu was a little puzzled. So many Star Extremity Peak Demonic Beasts, where did they come from, and why did they attack the cultivators on the ancient starry sky road?
Although everyone had been constantly improving, the Demonic Beasts here seemed to be endless. They were all at the peak of the Star Extremity Realm, and everyone could only use them to advance to the peak of the Star Extremity Realm. Over time, the number of cultivators who could continue to advance would definitely become fewer and fewer. In the end, they would all be wiped out.
The ancestors who had already killed their way to the depths of the ancient starry sky road did not manage to clear out all the powerful enemies on the road ahead. The later generations would not face a smooth road.
After experiencing millions of years of travel and slaughter, the ancient starry sky road finally had some changes. A stone forest composed of countless tall stone tablets stretched across the ancient starry sky road, and one could not see the end of it at a glance.
Obviously, if they wanted to continue forward, they would have to cross this stone forest.
As for going around the void beside the ancient starry sky road, it was absolutely impossible. Everyone had already tried before, and any cultivator who accidentally moved from the ancient starry sky road to the void beside it would be crushed into a pile of flesh and blood in an instant by the incomparably powerful spatial pressure.
Even the peak of the Star Extremity Realm experts could only last for ten breaths of time at the void beside it.
It was unknown how long this stone forest was, and many of the stone tablets were crooked, making the stone forest look even more like a ruin.
This stone forest should have been an extremely powerful array, but it was destroyed by the peak powerhouses of the World of Immortals. Passing through it should not be too dangerous.
After hesitating for a while in front of the stone forest, Xiao Lingyu still led the way in front, and everyone stepped into the stone forest one after another.
The stone forest was also very long. After walking inside for tens of thousands of years, there were still no signs of reaching the end.
Similarly, they did not encounter any danger in the beginning. Even the peak of the Star Extremity Realm Demonic Beasts that appeared before no longer appeared.
However, after everyone walked for a hundred thousand years in the stone forest, a pile of shattered stones actually quickly gathered together, turning into a stone powerhouse.
This stoneman powerhouse held a large saber in his hand. He looked exactly the same as the stoneman in front of the stone temple in the Haotian ruins.
Although its body was covered in cracks, this stone golem powerhouse was still incomparably powerful. Because it had appeared too suddenly and formed too strangely, everyone was caught off guard. As soon as it appeared, two late stage Star Extremity cultivators were struck by its large stone blade.
That stone blade looked very blunt, but its attack was incomparably sharp. The two late stage Star Extremity cultivators who were struck by it were directly cut in half, losing their lives.
Xiao Lingyu and the other powerhouses reacted quickly. They did not give the stone golem another chance to attack and had already launched their attacks on it.
The stone man should have been heavily injured in the past. Otherwise, its body would not have split into a pair of shattered rocks. Although it had gathered back together, it quickly crumbled again after enduring a series of attacks.
With this experience, everyone's speed slowed down a lot, and they stared vigilantly at the rocks they passed.
In the later part of the journey, there would often be piles of shattered stones that suddenly turned into stone powerhouses. However, it was very difficult for them to pose a threat to everyone who was already on high alert.
After a million years in the stone forest, everyone stopped again. They did not walk out of the stone forest, but instead saw a hill piled up by countless shattered stones.
It was easy for stone powerhouses to suddenly form in piles of shattered stones. In the past, they had only occasionally encountered piles of shattered stones, but now it was a hill of shattered stones.
If all the shattered stones in this hill of shattered stones turned into stone powerhouses, then everyone would probably have to face an army of stone powerhouses numbering in the tens of thousands. Therefore, no one dared to take half a step towards the hill of shattered stones.
However, the path ahead was blocked by the hill of shattered stones, and no one could go around it. They had no other choice but to brace themselves and walk into the hill of shattered stones.
"You guys wait here first. I'll go take a look."
After leaving behind these words, Xiao Lingyu leaped and flew towards the hill of shattered stones.
Just as everyone expected, when Xiao Lingyu flew into the hill of shattered stones, the originally silent stones seemed to have been injected with life, and all of them began to move rapidly.
In an instant, Xiao Lingyu was surrounded by countless stone powerhouses with cracks all over their bodies, and the sound of an intense battle could be heard.
"I'll go help him. Don't move!"
Ling 'er was still worried, and she also flew towards the countless stone powerhouses.
Miao Ying also wanted to help, but Anya pulled her back. Anya said confidently, "Don't worry, these stone powerhouses are not too strong, and their attacks are very simple. They can't do anything to husband."
Anya was right. These stone powerhouses could not do anything to Xiao Lingyu. Even if a large number of them gathered together, they could not do anything to Xiao Lingyu. After all, they were shattered and reformed, and their strength should be far weaker than before. Moreover, their bodies would immediately crumble when swept by Xiao Lingyu's Xuan-Yuan Sword. Their defense was clearly very weak.
There seemed to be a lot of stone powerhouses, tens of thousands of them, but they only knew how to attack with their stone swords. At the same time, there were only a few stone powerhouses that could threaten Xiao Lingyu.
Although the stone powerhouses' attacks were simple, other attacks, including the Chaos Star Truefire, were useless against them. The only thing that could defeat them was the most direct and powerful attacks. Ordinary spells and abilities could not do much damage to them.
After fighting for a long time, the stone powerhouses also discovered Anya's group. Thus, they took heavy steps and charged towards the group.
Xiao Lingyu and Ling 'er did not continue to fight. They joined forces and rushed back. Together with the other peak Star Extremity experts, they fought and retreated at the same time.
The battle with the large group of stone powerhouses lasted for four hours. Under everyone's joint efforts, all the stone powerhouses were finally defeated. They turned into piles of rubble again, and it seemed that they would not be able to reform in a short period of time.
Everyone passed through the rubble and arrived at the ancient starry sky path that was occupied by countless tall stone tablets.
As they continued to advance through the stone forest, they often encountered stone powerhouses that suddenly reformed. Occasionally, they would also encounter rubble and hills that blocked the path. However, with their rich experience, they did not suffer too many losses and continued to advance.
Xiao Lingyu was very clear that if it were not for the ancestors in front of them leading the way, their group would not have been able to advance so easily.
At the end of the stone forest was a stone wall that stretched across the ancient starry sky path.
In the center of the stone wall, there was a stone door that was thousands of feet tall and hundreds of feet wide.
In front of the stone door, there was a small pile of rubble that was piled up like a small mountain.
The stone door was open, and through the stone door, one could see that behind the stone wall was a lush forest.
The forest seemed to be thriving and full of vitality, but there was a faint smell of blood. It was obviously not a place of good fortune.
Without looking or hesitating for long, Xiao Lingyu flew to the side of the stone door and turned the pile of rubble into two stone powerhouses.
These two stone powerhouses were obviously much taller than ordinary stone powerhouses, and the aura they exuded was also much stronger.
Standing in front of these two stone powerhouses, Xiao Lingyu felt his heart palpitate. He could not help but frown.
The two stone powerhouses were also covered in cracks. After they formed, they swung their stone knives at Xiao Lingyu, who was closest to them.
Xiao Lingyu blocked with the Xuanyuan Sword, but as soon as the Xuanyuan Sword came into contact with the two stone knives, the huge force caused the Xuanyuan Sword to fly out of his hand.
The powerful impact from the two stone knives also sent Xiao Lingyu flying far away.
His body fell heavily, and Xiao Lingyu could not help but spit out two mouthfuls of blood. He first suppressed the tumbling in his body, then held the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and rushed at the two stone powerhouses again.
From the attack power of the stone powerhouses just now, it could be seen that they were obviously much stronger than the peak of the Star Extremity Sect.
"Ling 'er, you and the others hold back one of the stone powerhouses. I will deal with the other one."
Xiao Lingyu shouted as he moved forward.
As soon as he finished speaking, he did not hesitate to activate the Formless Giant Demon Art, and his body quickly turned into a golden dragon.
His body grew into a giant dragon, and his strength increased a lot. Only then would he have a chance to defeat a stone powerhouse.
Ling 'er's movements were extremely fast. She used the devouring power of the Netherworld Heavenly Eye to restrict the state and strength of one of the stone powerhouses, while the other peak of the Star Extremity Sect was responsible for bombarding the stone powerhouse that was restricted by Ling' er.
Xiao Lingyu, who had transformed into a dragon, used the Dragon Fist to fight the other stone powerhouse in close combat.
After a few consecutive attacks, Xiao Lingyu had to stop the Formless Giant Demon Art because of the heavy blows, and reverted to his original state. The stone powerhouse was also bombarded by the Formless Giant Dragon Fist too many times, and his body collapsed on the spot.
After activating the Formless Giant Demon Art, Xiao Lingyu would be weakened for a period of time. However, the starry space in his inner world could quickly provide him with energy, allowing him to quickly recover his strength.
That stone powerhouse, because its strength was restricted by Ling 'er, did not last long before it was blasted to pieces.
Everyone meditated next to the stone door to recover. When they were in good condition, they passed through the stone door and entered the forest that was permeated with the smell of blood.
The light in the forest was very dim, and there was an invisible force that restricted everyone's Divine Sense. As soon as they entered, they could hear the roars of demonic beasts.
Not even three days after they entered the forest, a group of peak Star Extremity Sect demonic beasts surrounded them.
There were nearly fifty demonic beasts in this group, and all of them were at the peak of the Star Extremity Sect. Xiao Lingyu's team naturally found it very difficult to resist, and could only continuously retreat.
But what surprised them was that they were actually unable to find the stone door, and were unable to retreat behind the stone wall.
With nearly fifty peak Star Extremity Sect demonic beasts attacking together, Xiao Lingyu's team formation naturally could not hold on for too long. Not long after, they were scattered.
Xiao Lingyu led his family and more than a hundred Xiao Wei, tightly huddling together. As for the other cultivators, they were scattered to god knows where.
The nearly fifty peak Star Extremity Sect demonic beasts also scattered, with more than twenty of them chasing after Xiao Lingyu's family and Xiao Wei.
