However, Lu Xiaotian did not dodge. He summoned the Five Elemental Magnetic Golden Armor and took the attack head-on. The incomparably sharp Sword Qi penetrated the Five Elemental Magnetic Golden Armor and shook Lu Xiaotian, causing his blood and Qi to surge. The halberd was like a turbulent river, surging in the Void and vaguely enclosing a part of the world.
Kong Ming's eyes flashed. "You've just comprehended the Mountain River Dao realm, but you've already used it to such an extent. I've underestimated you."
At the same time, a huge mountain blocked the path of the Empyrean Cauldron, trapping it within. The turbulent river water in the river suddenly rose, turning into a giant halberd and slashing at Kong Ming.
Kong Ming casually pointed a finger, and a faint sword qi bounced toward the giant halberd. With a boom, the giant halberd turned into water droplets that filled the sky. However, other giant halberds slashed out from the river at the critical moment.
The Kong Devouring Ghost Ant King's eyes flickered with uncertainty before it let out a sinister chuckle and flew toward the Buddhist Sect monks in a flash. The Mahayana Realm cultivators were still some distance away from the Buddhist Sect disciples. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to withstand the shockwaves from the battle between so many Mahayana Realm cultivators. How could they resist the terrifying suction force of the Void Vortex?
The Primeval Swordfiend's scheme had made the Kong Swallowing Ghost Ant King the biggest winner in the end. He did not suffer any injuries, but the disciples of the Buddhism Sect were like a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered by him. Although the ants were powerful, they were no match for the disciples of the Buddhism Sect. They were already in a disadvantageous position. However, with the addition of the Ghost Ant King in the Mahayana realm, the situation was completely different.
The battle between Lu Xiaotian and the Primeval Swordfiend's doppelganger, Kong Ming, was just right for him to reap the fruits of victory. The only winner of this battle was the Kong Ming Ghost Ant Clan!
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian naturally did not have the time to care about the life and death of the Buddhist Sect disciples. Regardless of whether Kong Ming was the doppelganger of the Premier Swordmaster or not, he had to take him down first. Since Kong Ming had used such a trick, it at least showed that Kong Ming did not have the strength to deal with the Buddhist Sect and Lu Xiaotian. Otherwise, he would not have to go through such a tedious process.
At present, Xiang Qingcheng and Dongfang Yi were isolated in another space. It was hard to tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. If he allowed Kong Ming to leave, how could Lu Xiaotian live up to the freedom they fought for for him?
Lu Xiaotian's true body disappeared into the mountains and rivers in the void. A majestic force gushed out from the mountains and rivers, transforming into a giant halberd that shot out in an endless stream.
At the Mountain and River Realm, one could manifest their intent realm and condense their mana. They had heaven and earth in their chest, and as they pointed, mountains and rivers would surge and hundreds of beasts would appear.
Kong Ming's expression was solemn. As the mountains and rivers manifested, Lu Xiaotian's true body seemed to have become one with the mountains and rivers. This made it difficult for him to easily determine the position of Lu Xiaotian's true body.
"To be able to fight against the Tiger Taming Formation of the Five Ultimate Monks, this Lu Xiaotian who has become one with his mana and body is indeed not to be underestimated. My true body has yet to come out of seclusion, and with just the Unshielded Sword Embryo that has undergone Spiritual Transformation, I am no match for him." Kong Ming pondered for a moment and had no intention of fighting with Lu Xiaotian for a long time. His body turned into an extremely simple flying sword, and the flying sword split into dozens.
The Fangtian halberds formed by the surging river slashed at the flying sword.
Boom boom … the sword and halberd collided, causing water droplets to explode in the sky. The flying sword also transformed into streaks of Sword Qi. These scattered streaks of Sword Qi merged together, forming a huge sword shield. When the Heavenly Halberd struck again, the sword shield collapsed, but an almost inaudible Sword Qi bypassed the mountains and rivers. Before the sword shield collapsed, the sword qi had successfully escaped.
The Empyrean Cauldron in the void also turned into a streak of light, breaking through the mountains and rivers at an astonishing speed as it shot away.
Seeing that the Empyrean Cauldron was about to escape, Lu Xiaotian's true body suddenly appeared from the mountains and rivers. He leaped up, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported several times in the air. His body only flashed a few small dots in the air, and when he reappeared, Lu Xiaotian's hand was already on a corner of the Empyrean Cauldron.
The Empyrean Cauldron trembled violently, and a powerful force almost caused Lu Xiaotian to let go of it. However, this Empyrean Cauldron was Xiang Qingcheng, the cause of Dongfang Yi being trapped in another space. Even though Lu Xiaotian had comprehended to the level of the Mountain River Tier, he did not have much understanding of the power of space. The clue to how to rescue Xiang Qingcheng and Dongfang Yi later on might very well lie in this Empyrean Cauldron. Under such circumstances, how could Lu Xiaotian let go of it?
Surging magic power and the power of blood energy suppressed the Empyrean Cauldron. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian was standing within the Mountain River Dao Realm. Kong Ming's true body mysteriously disappeared, and he quickly reappeared outside the Dao Realm that Lu Xiaotian had set up. Kong Ming looked at Lu Xiaotian with a cold smile on his face. He stretched out a finger, and the Empyrean Cauldron that Lu Xiaotian was holding by one leg began to tremble violently.
Kong Ming's method almost caused the Empyrean Cauldron to slip out of his hand. Lu Xiaotian struck out a palm at Kong Ming, and the seven Demon Subduing Pagodas merged into one to suppress Kong Ming.
Kong Ming turned into a flying sword again, and under the lingering sword qi, the flying sword disappeared into thin air again. Kong Ming's concealment ability was extremely impressive, and even Lu Xiaotian could not easily determine his identity. He could only vaguely sense his identity. At this moment, he was being held back by the Empyrean Cauldron. Lu Xiaotian had to expend a lot of mental energy to forcefully take down a rare treasure like the Empyrean Cauldron.
Kong Ming controlled the Empyrean Cauldron to fly back, but he was being attacked by the Demon Subduing Pagoda, and the Empyrean Cauldron was enveloped by the Mountain River Dao Realm. He could not pass through the Mountain River Dao Realm to successfully use the Empyrean Cauldron's other abilities.
Lu Xiaotian held the cauldron with one hand, and at the same time, he controlled the Demon Subduing Pagoda to fight against Kong Ming's flying sword that disappeared without a trace. Kong Ming lived up to his name as the Primordial Sword Demon. The flying sword that he turned into was extremely difficult to deal with. Not only were his attacks sharp, but his concealment ability was also impressive. Even with Lu Xiaotian's current Primordial Spirit, he could not accurately capture Kong Ming's movements. It was no wonder that he could hide in the Pearl Buddhist Sect for so many years without being exposed.
Fortunately, after Lu Xiaotian's mastery of Buddhism, he could gather and disperse the seven pagodas at will. Although he could not accurately capture the position of Kong Ming's flying sword, he could vaguely sense it. The Demon Subduing Pagoda split into seven and began to encircle Kong Ming within a large area.
Kong Ming's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit to be so strong that it could vaguely sense his position outside of the Mountain River Dao Realm. Even Grandmaster Kong Jian of the Buddhist Sect was much weaker than Lu Xiaotian in terms of Primordial Spirit. At this moment, Kong Ming did not know that Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit was not yet at its strongest state.
Seeing that the Mountain River Dao Realm was shrinking, the Fangtian Halberd slowly descended from the Void toward the Empyrean Cauldron, and the seven Demon Subduing Pagoda encircled him. Kong Ming's heart skipped a beat. If he really waited for the seven Demon Subduing Pagoda to completely encircle him, he might not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
"Lu Xiaotian, I'll leave the Empyrean Cauldron with you for the time being. When my original body comes out of seclusion, I'll definitely come and retrieve it personally!"
Kong Ming's voice drifted in the Void. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared without a trace.
