Lu Xiaotian benefited from the ethereal state he had when concocting pills before Foundation Establishment. He had a certain level of experience in concocting pills with fierce flames. His control over the intensity of the flames had already far surpassed other pill refiners of the same level. In the beginning, after consuming five Heaven Reversal Pills, the narrow stone tunnel was filled with dozens of corpses of stone terracotta soldiers. However, the centipede puppet at the back only managed to concoct one cauldron of pills and two pills. Lu Xiaotian attempted to increase the intensity of the flames to concoct the Heaven Reversal Pills. However, the Heaven Reversal Pills were a high level pill that was far from what the Black Glory Pills of the past could compare to. After failing two cauldrons of concocting pills in a row, under normal circumstances, Lu Xiaotian could still continue to calmly attempt to concoct the pills. However, under such circumstances, the herbs needed to mature the Heaven Reversal Pills required a large amount of spirit stones. Even though he had a lot of spirit stones on him, he was running out of spirit stones every time he used them. Furthermore, the current situation could not afford to make too many mistakes. Fortunately, he was able to use the method of injuring the stone terracotta soldiers to buy time.
The attack power of the two stone terracotta soldiers in front of him was only about half of what it was before. Even if they hit him, it would not cause too much damage. The height and width of the stone tunnel did not allow more stone terracotta soldiers to attack in. Lu Xiaotian temporarily gave up on the method of increasing the intensity of the flames to concoct the pills. Only then did the rate of concocting pills begin to rise. This way, Lu Xiaotian's consumption and supply barely reached a balance.
As the strongest Pure Gold Terracotta returned, it also realized that this method was not right. It began to withdraw the rest of its kind from the tunnel. Then, only two stone terracotta soldiers were sent into the tunnel at a time. Once their strength dropped to the level where they could no longer threaten Lu Xiaotian, it would immediately switch out the rest of its kind. In the middle, the Pure Gold Terracotta personally led another of its kind to charge in. After being heavily injured by Lu Xiaotian's Fire Dragon Dantian Arrow, new injuries were added to its old injuries. The Pure Gold Terracotta almost died in the stone tunnel. After it was snatched back by its own kind, it no longer dared to lead the charge personally. Instead, it continuously commanded its own kind.
In this way, even though the stone tunnel did not have those densely packed stone terracotta soldiers' shadows, causing visual pressure. In reality, the burden on Lu Xiaotian's shoulders suddenly became heavier.
The number of punches and kicks that landed on Lu Xiaotian's body increased once again. However, as he continued to refine pills, Lu Xiaotian's attainments in alchemy also continued to improve. The success rate of refining the Heaven Reversal Pill and several other healing pills also increased.
The battle in the stone cave never stopped. Lu Xiaotian's main Primordial Spirit never stopped battling the stone terracotta soldiers while his secondary Primordial Spirit spent day and night concocting pills. Lu Xiaotian forgot about the passage of time and simply immersed himself in battle and alchemy. It continuously injured the stone terracotta soldiers. After that, his body was also constantly struck by the stone terracotta soldiers' fists and feet. His ribs were broken one after another, and then slowly recovered during the battle.
There were fewer and fewer spirit stones in the enchantment, but the quality of the Heaven Reversal Pills was also getting higher and higher. The effect of a single furnace of top grade Heaven Reversal Pills was comparable to several furnaces of high grade or middle grade pills. Lu Xiaotian was also able to persevere for a longer period of time.
However, there was a limit to the number of spirit stones. Lu Xiaotian did not notice this. The battle and alchemy had already diverted all of his attention.
One day, in the stone cave, a young man covered in red scales had a cold expression. He raised his head and let out a long howl, causing the dust in the stone cave to fall. The young man's hands patted his chest, and his entire body emitted a bright red light.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiaotian's body vibrated with a circle of fierce energy.
In the stone cave, there were countless stone terracotta soldiers' corpses piled up.
One day, when Lu Xiaotian stood outside the stone cave again, there were still hundreds of stone terracotta soldiers surrounding him. However, including the pure gold terracotta soldier, they all looked at Lu Xiaotian with some fear, and for a moment, did not dare to step forward.
Stepping outside the stone cave again, Lu Xiaotian only cared about the rolling yellow sand outside, but he felt exceptionally close to it. He did not know how many days he would not be able to see the light of day again. However, what made him feel strange was that the rolling yellow sand did not seem to have any effect on his body. It was definitely not because his Taihao Combat Body had broken through to the third layer. No matter how strong his body was, he could still feel the cutting power of the yellow sand. It was just that his defense was so strong that he would not be easily hurt by the yellow sand. Could it be because of the light golden crystal in the stone terracotta soldier's body?
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaotian felt that this was the only possibility. There were dozens of stone statues circling above his head, and there were hundreds of stone terracotta soldiers on the ground, including the pure gold terracotta soldier. Even though he had been fighting day and night in the stone cave, his body was constantly being hammered by the stone terracotta soldiers, and his body was constantly being repaired by pills. Under the threat of death, his Taihao Combat Body had broken through to the late third layer, which was equivalent to a sixth level Body Refinement Warrior. In other words, based on the strength of his body alone, he was already equivalent to a late stage Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. However, the strength of a Body Refinement Warrior was much more terrifying than a late stage Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. As for his own cultivation, it fell behind that of a Body Refinement Warrior. However, he had also made significant progress and broke through the shackles. Now, he was already at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment Stage. Although it was only one layer away from before, it was already the difference between a middle stage Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and a beginning stage Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
At this moment, the spirit stones and Crisis Reversal Pills in the enchantment had already been used up. However, even though his strength had improved tremendously and he had become one of the most powerful Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, if he wanted to challenge the hundreds of stone terracotta soldiers, including the pure gold terracotta soldiers, and the dozens of stone statues circling above his head, it was still not enough. The reason why Lu Xiaotian was able to stand here was naturally because of the secret he discovered in a battle. It was the fatal secret of the stone terracotta soldiers. At that time, he was already a fifth level Body Refinement Warrior, and the Crisis Reversal Pills had already been used up. The stone terracotta soldiers outside were still advancing one after another.
Lu Xiaotian thought that he was about to die. His trump card had already been used up and he was at his wit's end. Even after racking his brains, he still ended up with this result. Enraged, he smashed the chest of a stone terracotta soldier with a punch, inadvertently shattering the light gold prismatic crystal in the stone terracotta soldier's body. When the golden liquid inside soaked into his body, that feeling of comfort spread throughout his body, causing the injuries on his body to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, his exhausted body was also filled with energy once again. It was also because of this that when he killed a stone terracotta soldier and obtained the golden prismatic crystal, he would have a chance to replenish his energy. Finally, he was able to endure through the day after day of fighting and killing. And the medicinal pills refined from the seventh level fire dragon's flesh had long been used up. The stone cave's passageway was almost filled with the corpses of the stone terracotta soldiers. After thousands of tempering, his body had finally reached its current strength. Because he obtained the golden crystal from killing the stone terracotta soldiers, it could restore his body's functions in an extremely short amount of time. That was why he dared to counterattack. But as the cultivation of the [Limitless Battle Physique] deepened day by day, the nourishing effect of the light gold crystal on his body was also slightly weakened.
Maybe it was because they had lost too many of their kind, these stone terracotta soldiers began to have a kind of fear towards Lu Xiaotian.
Pure gold stone terracotta soldier! Lu Xiaotian's body crouched, like a cheetah waiting to pounce, and then suddenly rushed out, madly leaping towards the pure gold stone terracotta soldier. To shoot a man, shoot the horse first, capture the leader first. Ordinary stone terracotta soldiers were all under the command of the pure gold stone terracotta soldier. If he killed this pure gold stone terracotta soldier, perhaps the situation would change a lot. The light gold crystal's effect on Lu Xiaotian's body refining cultivation was no longer obvious. There was no longer any value in staying here. Maybe the crystal in the body of this pure gold stone terracotta soldier would still have some use.
Seeing Lu Xiaotian rushing over, the stone terracotta soldiers were in an uproar. The human in front of them was too terrifying, he was not someone they could fight against. There were too many of their kind that had died in the hands of the human.
Clang! The [Blazing Flame Sword] flashed out, there was no need to activate the sword ray. With Lu Xiaotian's current physical strength, even if it was an ordinary weapon, he would be able to unleash an unimaginable destructive power. Two of the light gold stone terracotta soldiers in front of him were decapitated by the two swords.
Lu Xiaotian's body somersaulted in the air, landing in front of the pure gold stone terracotta soldier.
The pure gold stone terracotta released an extremely coarse roar, its only arm clenched into a fist and punched towards Lu Xiaotian.
Let's see how strong this pure gold stone terracotta soldier is. Lu Xiaotian took a breath, not to be outdone, he also punched out. Boom, after a thunderous explosion, it formed a huge storm that caused the light gold stone terracotta soldier to be swept back dozens of steps. Lu Xiaotian also took a few steps back before he could stop his body. A wave of pain came from his fist, it was even more painful than when the light gold stone terracotta soldier directly hit his body. He looked in shock at the pure gold stone terracotta soldier whose body only swayed a little. In terms of strength, the pure gold stone terracotta soldier was even stronger than him.
Seeing that Lu Xiaotian had suffered a little under its hands, the pure gold stone terracotta roared in excitement. It had always been afraid of Lu Xiaotian's set of incomparably powerful bow and arrow, but now Lu Xiaotian actually chose to fight it in close combat. Even if it only had one arm, the pure gold stone terracotta was confident that it could kill this human. Taking advantage of the fact that the human in front of it had yet to regain his footing, the pure gold stone terracotta that had regained its confidence pounced towards Lu Xiaotian like a gust of wind. Its legs were like the shadows of mountains, its speed was much faster than the light gold stone terracotta soldier.
Even if he was already a sixth level Body Refiner, there was still a certain gap between him and this pure gold stone terracotta soldier in close combat. It was just a simple exchange of blows, but Lu Xiaotian clearly understood this point. Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn't use his weakness to attack the other party's strength. The probing just now was just to test the other party's strength. Facing the attack of the pure gold stone terracotta soldier, Lu Xiaotian once again took out the Blazing Flame Sword. Body Refiners were extremely hard to find in the entire cultivation world. For someone like Huo Yuming who was able to cultivate to the Jin Dan stage, he must have had a great opportunity. But the development of magic tools had been passed down since ancient times. No matter how strong a body refiner of the same level was, they would not be able to directly use their flesh to withstand the Blazing Flame Sword.
Lu Xiaotian snorted coldly, directly pouring all of his mana into the Blazing Flame Sword. Having already successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment Level 4, his mana had not only made a breakthrough in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality. The fiery red sword aura from before had already started to turn purplish red. The two giant stone statues that were originally pouncing down were chopped into two by Lu Xiaotian's sword.
A sound similar to chopping the hardest metal could be heard. Even a cultivator with a lower level of cultivation would directly faint upon hearing this sound. Lu Xiaotian's sword that exploded with all of his mana was still unable to cut off the right leg of the pure gold stone terracotta soldier. But in the intense battle just now, a small portion of the sword had been cut into. In terms of power, the Blazing Flame Sword was still slightly inferior to the Fire Dragon Bow. But even so, the pure gold stone terracotta soldier was still incomparably shocked and furious. It retracted its leg repeatedly, but the injury on its right leg was not light and its movements were much slower than before.
The surrounding stone terracotta soldiers rushed forward, wanting to save their leader. Lu Xiaotian consecutively killed a few more, directly smashing their chests with a fist. He took out the golden crystal fragments to replenish the energy of his body. The golden crystals obtained from the stone terracotta soldiers were enough to replenish the energy consumed in the fierce battle. Other than the pure gold stone terracotta soldiers, the attacks of normal stone terracotta soldiers were already unable to cause too much damage to him in a short period of time. And it was even harder to defend against his attacks. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian was already in an undefeatable position.
After breaking through the obstruction of the normal stone terracotta soldiers, the pure gold stone terracotta's speed was greatly reduced and it was unable to retreat far. Lu Xiaotian would only fully activate the power of this sword when facing the pure gold stone terracotta soldiers. As for the normal stone terracotta soldiers, relying on the sharpness of the Blazing Flame Sword itself and his terrifying strength, they were already able to cause a devastating blow. After a series of left and right slashes, there was no longer any space between the pure gold stone terracotta and Lu Xiaotian.
It was already unable to escape. The human in front of it was too fast. After the pure gold stone terracotta felt that its life was in danger, it retaliated with all its might, its entire body charging towards Lu Xiaotian like a bolt of lightning. Lu Xiaotian dodged to the side, directly circling behind the pure gold stone terracotta. He was just about to stab his sword into the heart of the stone terracotta soldier's back. The pure gold stone terracotta's body leaned forward, its hind legs already raised like a scorpion's tail, fiercely swinging towards Lu Xiaotian's crotch.
Lu Xiaotian's eyelids twitched. He did not expect that the pure gold stone terracotta soldier would actually have such a move. But with his speed, dodging was not difficult. Just as Lu Xiaotian was about to dodge, over ten normal stone terracotta soldiers actually flew towards him one after another. For a moment, he was actually unable to retreat. Although with his strength, killing a few of them wasn't a difficult matter, but over a dozen stone figurines were equivalent to over a dozen body cultivators at the initial foundation stage. Charging forward without regard for his own safety, even if he killed a few of them in the blink of an eye, he would surely be collided with by the other few. Once he was hugged by them, the pure gold stone figurines would turn around and press him down to give him a beating. Even with his current strength, he was unable to escape.
What a ruthless method. Lu Xiaotian's eyelids twitched. Stone terracotta soldiers were beginning to surround him from all directions. There was only one way to break through upwards. Without any hesitation, he kicked the back leg of the pure gold stone terracotta soldier that was swinging towards him. Borrowing the strength of the soldier's kick, his body shot up into the air like a cannonball.
The stone terracotta hovering in the air saw the opportunity, flapping its wings and flying over rapidly. Its claws grabbed onto Lu Xiaotian, trying to tear him apart but to no avail. The other stone terracotta soldiers also pounced on him, wanting to peck him with their beaks.
