Sometimes, the greatest enemy did not come from the outside, but from within. Xiang Qingcheng, Little Fire Crow, and the others could barely resist the invading ghosts of the Ninth Hell for Lu Xiaotian, but the chaos in Lu Xiaotian's body made her helpless. Even a Celestial Immortal expert could not calm down the chaos in Lu Xiaotian's body.
Lu Xiaotian himself did not expect that such an abnormality would occur in his body, which had always been relatively peaceful.
At this moment, it was too late to trace the source. Lu Xiaotian could only try his best to ease the conflict between the immortal essence and dragon essence. Dragon essence, especially after combining with the power of totems, was far more powerful than the immortal essence in the body.
However, Lu Xiaotian was still in the territory of the Honghao Heavenly Court, and could not rely on dragon essence to move around. If the immortal essence was completely extinguished, it would be an irreparable disaster for Lu Xiaotian.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian used the power of space to form a distorted space between the immortal essence and dragon essence. It became a buffer between the two sides. The dragon essence rushed into this space and immediately rushed around like a wild beast that had lost its direction. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian did not dare to let the dragon essence and immortal essence directly clash. Otherwise, it would be a one-sided situation.
After the dragon essence rushed into this mysterious space, Lu Xiaotian first transferred the Wolf Riders in the Demon Sealing Pagoda into the Green Fruit Barrier. Thus, the connection between the Dragon Wolf Riders and the dragon essence was cut off. This caused the dragon essence to lose its most powerful support. At this moment, even though the dragon essence was still much stronger than the immortal essence, it was not to the point where it could not be resisted.
Lu Xiaotian mobilized the power of space and immortal essence to try his best to avoid a fierce collision between the two.
The huge taiji pattern formed by the cultivation of the Immemorial Scripture was in the whole space. With the imbalance of time, when the situation in the body completely calmed down, Lu Xiaotian found that the neutral and peaceful taiji pattern actually merged into the space and disappeared. Lu Xiaotian was surprised, and did not know whether this change was good or bad.
With the crisis in his body temporarily resolved, Lu Xiaotian furrowed his brows, constantly searching for the cause of this strange change in his body. At this moment, the Dragon Essence and Immortal Elemental Energy had once again returned to their former harmony.
However, Lu Xiaotian did not relax because of this. Since the problem had occurred once, it was very likely that it would occur a second time if the root cause was not found. At this moment, it was still fine under the circumstances that he wasn't facing an enemy, but if such an abnormality occurred during the process of battle, then not to mention a Mysterious Immortal, even a True Immortal or a junior Immortal would be able to easily take his life.
Lu Xiaotian repeatedly checked the Dragon Essence and Celestial Essence in his body several times, but he still had no clue. Even when he tried to touch the two together, they could operate freely without any sign of conflict.
"Could it be a problem with the totem power?" Lu Xiaotian quickly thought of another possibility. Moreover, he increasingly felt that the source of the problem was this. The Dragon Essence and Celestial Essence hadn't shown any signs of conflict for many years in his body, and they had faintly formed a mysterious balance. Moreover, since the Dragon Essence and totem power were able to communicate with each other, this mysterious balance had been completely broken.
Merely relying on Celestial Essence was far from sufficient to go against the totem power before him. After all, by relying on the totem power, Lu Xiaotian was able to fight a Heavenly Immortal, and there was a difference of a great realm between them.
But even if he realized where the problem lay now, Lu Xiaotian still felt it was extremely troublesome. Presently, he was near the Netherwithered Sea and had successively encountered formidable Ghosts of the Ninth Hell. If he didn't want to be sucked into the Netherwithered Sea or be killed by the Ghosts of the Ninth Hell, then Lu Xiaotian had no choice but to utilize the totem power. But along with the closer the fusion between the totem power and the Dragon Essence became, the conflict between the Dragon Essence and Celestial Essence would surely intensify.
Presently, he'd already resolved a crisis by relying on the Immemorial Scripture and the energy of space. But Lu Xiaotian really didn't have much confidence in being able to resolve a crisis like this in the future. After all, the fusion of the Dragon Essence and totem power was a completely new existence to Lu Xiaotian.
"It seems that I can only take one step at a time." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. If he faced a Heavenly Immortal level enemy, Lu Xiaotian had no choice but to use the totem power. As for the consequences of using the totem power, he couldn't care so much.
In a situation where there was a choice, one would hesitate. There was only one choice. After such an understanding rose in his heart, Lu Xiaotian was not so worried.
At this time, another group of ghosts, numbering in the hundreds, came from afar on the clouds.
"Retreat!" Lu Xiaotian shouted in a low voice. The Netherwithered Sea was formed by the Netherwithered Silkworm Venerable using the essence of the Ninth Hell Weak Water. Although it couldn't be compared with the complete Ninth Hell Weak Water, it was unknown how many ghosts had accumulated in the Netherwithered Sea after so many years. Lu Xiaotian's Divine Sense swept across the group of ghosts. At least two of them had reached the Heavenly Immortal level. Even if Lu Xiaotian used the totem power, he was afraid it would be a fierce battle.
Fortunately, now that he'd recovered, Lu Xiaotian had some room to maneuver. Lu Xiaotian simply waved his hand. A beam of light shot out from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, sucking Xiang Qingcheng, Little Fiend, and the others into it. The hundred ghosts swarmed over. Lu Xiaotian knew he wouldn't be able to fight them off, so he immediately turned and fled. He didn't know how large the Netherwithered Sea was. Occasionally, he'd hear the sound of crashing waves in the distance. The hundred ghosts behind him were closing in. Lu Xiaotian was inwardly anxious. Without using the power of the totem, it would be difficult for him to escape from these ghosts. The distance between the two sides grew closer and closer.
Just as Lu Xiaotian was pondering, a faint gray corpse aura drifted over from the distance. The hundred or so ghosts behind him were swept away by the gray corpse aura, instantly turning into a black mist. They didn't even have time to scream before disappearing into nothingness.
Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. He stared in shock at the gray corpse aura drifting over from afar. The gray corpse aura swirled in the air, forming Jiangchen's image.
"Senior, you've finally shown yourself." When Lu Xiaotian saw Jiangchen's image, he felt conflicted. He wanted to see Jiangchen, but at the same time, he didn't want to. He wanted to see Jiangchen because he had no clue where to go in this damned place. He was completely aimless. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't. He didn't want to see Jiangchen, because if Jiangchen appeared, it would be a major disaster. If he got caught in the crossfire, the slightest carelessness would result in his death.
"Come with me."
Jiangchen reached out and grabbed at the air. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but float toward him.
Lu Xiaotian inwardly smiled bitterly. In the face of an expert on Jiangchen's level, Lu Xiaotian hadn't felt so powerless in a long time.
"Senior, have you found the Netherwithered Sea?" asked Lu Xiaotian.
"Thanks to you, young friend, we're already at the edge of the Netherwithered Sea. I'll take you to see the true Netherwithered Sea," laughed Jiangchen. He seemed to be in a good mood.
