After dealing with the weaker one, they were about to deal with the late Body Integration stage grey eagle when several spiked maces came flying towards them from the ground. When the stone golems saw Lu Xiaotian and Mo Yuyan, they treated them as outsiders and attacked them.
When the late Body Integration stage grey eagle saw the group of stone golems interfering, it found a precious opportunity to catch its breath. It mustered its remaining strength and flapped its wings to escape at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, its huge body turned into a tiny black dot in the air and disappeared.
As for Mo Yuyan's golden pegasus, it was very agile and easily avoided the attacks of the stone golems below. These stone golems didn't have many tricks up their sleeves, but their strength was extremely astonishing. The spiked maces looked crude, but the earth spiritual power within them was as heavy as a mountain. When they swung down, it was as if a huge mountain was crashing down.
Mo Yuyan flicked the golden spear in her hand and flicked away two of the crude spiked maces. The shining golden spear circled around one of the ferocious spiked maces and spun around the tip of the spear. Then, the long spear moved forward and the huge spiked maces changed direction and smashed towards the huge grey eagle bound by the golden river.
These stone golems only had one trick up their sleeves and relied on their terrifying brute force. If they were like the magic treasures used by human cultivators, Mo Yuyan wouldn't be able to borrow them like this.
The huge spiked maces were skillfully guided by Mo Yuyan and smashed into the grey eagle's head. With a boom, the maces shattered. The huge headless corpse struggled in the air for a few moments before falling to the ground like a broken kite.
Rumble! The ground caved in and a large group of stone golems wearing khaki-colored armor and holding sharp bows appeared in the crater.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaotian called out to Mo Yuyan. The golden pegasus beneath Mo Yuyan flapped its wings and sprinkled a dazzling golden light in the air. The lotus doppelganger's body blurred and turned into a flying sword. The flying sword seemed to travel through the abyss and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Sharp arrows pierced through the air. Although the stone golems only had one trick up their sleeves, their strength was extraordinary. The arrows in their hands were made of unknown materials and shot through the air in a flurry. The speed of the arrows was astonishing. Even the grey eagle wouldn't be able to easily escape from this barrage of arrows. At this moment, the lotus doppelganger was using the concealment ability of the Concealed Devil Sword Arts. Although the stone golems that couldn't fly, they couldn't see through Lu Xiaotian's concealment. However, under the barrage of arrows, the flying sword formed by the lotus avatar was almost forced out of its original form.
As for Mo Yuyan, she took out a talisman and turned it into dozens of Mo Yuyan's appearances in the air. The two of them barely escaped from the attack range of the stone golems.
The stone golems didn't seem to have high intelligence and their brains were much more rigid than ordinary people. Once they locked onto their prey, they wouldn't let go easily. Although they didn't have the ability to fly, they were extremely fast on the ground. They chased after the lotus doppelganger and Mo Yuyan for tens of thousands of miles until they reached a barren desert filled with flowing fire. Only then did they reluctantly retreat.
"Although the monsters in the Red Dipper Celestial Ascension Realm aren't very intelligent, they're really hard to deal with." Mo Yuyan recalled her spirit beast and said with a sigh of relief.
"These stone golems aren't the type to let go of their prey easily." The lotus doppelganger's eyes swept across the barren desert filled with flowing fire.
"You're saying that there's an existence here that even the stone golems are afraid of?" Mo Yuyan was also shocked. The stone golems were hard enough to deal with. She was fine, but the strength of this mysterious sword cultivator called Nameless was almost the strongest among the Body Integration Realm experts. His sword intent, which was beyond the ordinary Body Integration Realm, was not something that ordinary Body Integration Realm cultivators could withstand. Perhaps only a freak like Lu Xiaotian could match him.
Now that the lotus doppelganger said this, Mo Yuyan was naturally on high alert.
The lotus doppelganger frowned. Even though he had fought Master Jiyuan and Old Monster Wushan's phantom together with his original body, he could sense a trace of a Mahayana Realm expert's intent realm with his original body's incomparably powerful Primordial Spirit and integrated it into his own cultivation. However, without his original body present, the lotus doppelganger couldn't sense many dangers so easily.
At this moment, apart from his astonishing attainments in Sword Dao, the lotus doppelganger's Primordial Spirit didn't have much of an advantage compared to other late-stage Body Integration Realm cultivators. At that moment, the lotus doppelganger looked into the distance and could vaguely sense a potential danger, but he couldn't pinpoint the exact location. If his original body was here, the situation wouldn't be like this.
"It's very possible, but I can't sense the other party's exact location now. Let's take a detour. As long as we walk along the edge of the desert, the stone golems won't chase after us. Let's get rid of them first. "The lotus doppelganger nodded in response to Mo Yuyan.
Just as the two were about to leave, the barren desert suddenly shook and the ground cracked. Amidst the cracking sounds, a huge flaming tail bounced up from the crack and whipped toward Lu Xiaotian and Mo Yuyan.
The flying sword formed by the lotus doppelganger trembled and a sword shadow flew out, colliding with the long tail in the void. They were in a stalemate.
The long tail was formed from dried bones and sparks flew from it. At that moment, a huge claw reached out from the crack in the ground and grabbed at the sword shadow in the void.
The lotus doppelganger was already on guard. How could he let the other party have his way? At that moment, the Ethereal Sword Embryo swayed and joined the battle, slashing down a light screen to block the huge claw.
The huge bone claw was trapped in the light screen and couldn't advance or retreat. However, the lotus doppelganger wasn't having an easy time either.
With a bang, a large amount of platinum flames rose from below, showing signs of melting the sword screen. It stomped on the ground with two small feet that looked like claws and a huge tail behind it. Its empty eye sockets stared blankly at the Ethereal Sword Embryo in the void.
The lotus doppelganger retreated a distance. The aura of the huge bone beast in front of him had a remnant aura of the tribulation lightning. Even if it was just a remnant aura of the tribulation lightning, Lu Xiaotian had never experienced such power before.
Based on the appearance of the huge bone beast, it should be an ancient beast. However, its aura was extremely strange. Its aura had far surpassed that of an ordinary late-stage Combination cultivator, but it wasn't the same as a Mahayana-stage cultivator.
The lotus doppelganger was a late-stage Combination cultivator and had encountered Mahayana-stage cultivators more than once. Naturally, he could tell the difference.
"This Giant Crescent Beast's skeleton seems to be the product of a failed Mahayana-stage Lightning Tribulation during the ancient times. Its soul should have been destroyed, but it might have relied on a magic treasure to preserve a trace of its primordial spirit. Before it died, it was very likely that this Giant Crescent Beast already possessed a portion of the Mahayana-stage's power. Even if it's just a trace of its primordial spirit and will, it's still terrifying enough for us! "
As the Star Palace Palace Lord, Mo Yuyan had inherited the Star Palace's legacy. From the records left behind by the previous Star Palace Lord, she knew some things that Lu Xiaotian didn't know.
