The four of them traveled together and finally found the location of the Stone Soldier Eight Formation's formation core. At the same time, Yi Tian also found that the area where the formation core was located was shrouded in a very dense 'Bewitching Fog'. If he wanted to enter, he naturally had to stare at the dense fog and continue to explore.
Not long after they entered the foggy area, they sensed a strong gust of wind coming at them. Yi Tian immediately sensed that something was amiss. The spiritual pressure fluctuations imbued within the astral winds were already comparable to that of a late-Body Integration cultivator. Needless to say, the people who attacked should be the lower realm true immortal Wu Jue and the innate spirit plant spirit Huang Jing.
Although they had only revealed this level of cultivation, Yi Tian knew in his heart that if they were to play for real, both sides would most likely have backup plans. At that time, this battle would evolve into a scene of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator.
After flying over with the three behind him, he found that Wu Jue was fighting with a seven foot tall spirit cultivator wearing a green robe. Seeing the four of them arrive, both sides naturally hurriedly stopped. Yi Tian keenly sensed that the person who attacked Wu Jue had extraordinary strength and a little bit of the aura of childhood Huang Jing.
After some negotiations, they could confirm that this was Huang Jing's adult body. However, Wu Jue's eloquence caused Huang Jing to misunderstand the four of them. After absorbing a large amount of immortal essence and the essence of the tree spirit, he appeared in his prime. When he appeared in front of everyone, he had already turned into a nine foot tall man.
The spiritual pressure on his body rapidly increased and broke through the Grand Ascension Stage in one fell swoop, reaching the middle Grand Ascension Stage. As a result, everyone present had a look of fear. If they wanted to leave the formation, they would have to put in some effort. However, the middle Grand Ascension Stage tree spirit Huang Jing in front of them seemed to have some prejudice against the guests.
Yi Tian only felt his scalp go numb. If he were to face such a powerful person, it would be difficult for him to do so. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Wu Jue's expression was also unfriendly. After staring at him for a while, he slowly turned his head and looked over.
Their eyes met, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes. However, the arrow had already been nocked, and they had no choice but to release it. Yi Tian sighed and sent a voice transmission to the three people behind him, "Get ready. Everyone, spread out. Huang Jing will probably attack the five of us indiscriminately."
Wan Gang was startled and hurriedly replied, "Then Brother Yi, how should we break the formation?"
"Let's endure the first wave for the time being. Fortunately, the wind around his body is too strong and has already blown away the 'Bewitching Fog' around him," Yi Tian said with a solemn expression. "However, Wu Jue and I will be the focus of his attention. You guys should retreat for the time being and wait for an opportunity to dig his body out from the roots below."
"His body should be a sealwort that is hundreds of thousands of years old, right?" Yan Qiu said with a hint of shock on his face.
"Almost, but you guys have to be careful. His body is not so easy to find," Yi Tian said as he took out the 'Hundred Medicine Pestle' and handed it to Yan Qiu. "This thing should be able to restrain Huang Jing's body. However, you guys have to be careful when you go down later. There's also something wrong with the ancient tree at the formation eye."
Wan Gang, who was at the side, asked, "Brother Yi, can you and Wu Jue really restrain him? His strength is too much."
"It's fine. You guys just have to be careful. Also, you have to be careful of Netherworld Boy. He hasn't appeared until now. He's always a hidden danger. We have to guard against him," Yi Tian said.
As he was talking, Wu Jue in the distance also began to move. He took out a scarlet pill and held it in his hand. As his gaze wandered, he gritted his teeth and poured it into his mouth before swallowing it directly. After 3 seconds, with Wu Jue as the center, a gust of wind blew out.
"Kill!" A roar came from his mouth, and Wu Jue's eyes instantly became red. After the blood in his body surged, his momentum was unstoppable. His cultivation directly increased by 2 levels, reaching the peak of the early stage of the dacheng stage.
Seeing this, Yi Tian immediately understood that Wu Jue had taken some kind of high-grade elixir to force out his potential and forcibly improve his cultivation. Naturally, he also realized that the situation before coming out was unfavorable for him. If he still held back, he would definitely be left here.
Yi Tian stretched out his hand and motioned for the 3 to retreat first, while he stabilized his body in the air. Then he took a deep breath, and his internal spiritual power circulated rapidly. He took a step forward in the air as if he was walking on the ground. After 3 steps, his momentum was released, and his cultivation recovered to the early stage of the dacheng stage. At the same time, a dark golden luster faintly flashed on his skin, and thousands of red lights appeared behind him. A round of corona appeared out of thin air. It was the Buddhist Sect Corona Golden Sun Movement Technique.
The sudden appearance of 3 dacheng stage cultivators in the air also shocked Wan Gang and the other 2 on the side. Speaking of which, they had never seen such a scene in their lives. Although Shi Jinming and Yan Qiu had a little insight into Yi Tian's cultivation, it was the first time they saw his real appearance.
But at this time, although there were 3 dacheng stage cultivators on the scene, Yi Tian's side seemed to be the weakest side. But if the factor of using mystic arts or elixir to forcibly improve his cultivation was excluded, Yi Tian could be regarded as the strongest one.
Wu Jue also showed a look of dread on his face. He knew very well that he was only temporarily relying on the power of elixir to improve his cultivation. Then he shouted in a deep voice, "Kid, you hide so well, but if you go all out today, I'm afraid we will all die here."
"You're right, but at this moment, you should be more anxious than me." Yi Tian curled his lips and replied, "You have to know that your cultivation has a time limit. If you don't make a move now, I'm afraid there will be a change."
"Are you forcing me to do this?" Wu Jue turned his head and said fiercely, "Don't think too highly of yourself. Even if I'm not low, I can still protect myself."
"It's a pity that your wish can't be achieved like this." Yi Tian said disdainfully, "You spent so much effort just to reshape your body to become a complete and independent person, so if you don't take advantage of this opportunity, when will you make a move?"
These words hit Wu Jue's sore spot. This was the purpose of his trip. After thinking about it, his face revealed a ferocious expression as he opened his mouth and let out a miserable howl. After three breaths, two pairs of blood-red wings grew from his back. His original hands and feet had also changed. His fingernails had lengthened and become incomparably sharp. His two feet had also become bird-like.
Wu Jue's mouth stretched and became like a long bird's beak. After 3 seconds, a black light flashed and revealed his original body. He looked like a birdman like the Ink Feather Race.
He shouted fiercely, "You guys are lucky to be able to see my original body. Kid Yi, let's temporarily work together to deal with this tree spirit and wood monster below. After it's done, I just need to take a piece of its wood core source. "
Yi Tian's face was solemn, but he shook his head and said, "My intention is just to find a way out, not to hurt Huang Jing. So, Senior Wu, please forgive me for not accepting your suggestion. "
Hearing this, Huang Jing, who was originally below, revealed an angry expression. After sizing up the two of them, he angrily shouted, "Stop putting on an act. Everyone who came here today is running."
After speaking, he waved his hands and hundreds of branches suddenly flew out from the tree crown and shot towards the sky.
When Yi Tian saw this, he quickly raised the Shield of the Dragon Tortoise in front of him. 'Ping, ping, pang' sounds could be heard, and the branches were all blocked. However, Yi Tian realized that his hands were numb, and there were countless scratches on the Shield of the Dragon Tortoise.
It had to be said that he had spent a lot of effort to refine this shield. In the past, when he used it to block attacks, it couldn't leave a single mark on it. However, today, it seemed that Huang Jing was indeed the strongest cultivator he had ever met.
He looked coldly at Wu Jue, who was far away, and he wasn't in a good state either. The 4 black wings on his back protected him, but there were 3 thumb-sized branches stuck on his wings.
Wu Jue's 4 black wings shook violently, and the branches stuck on his wings fell off. Then, he turned around and quickly formed a hand seal, and the 4 wings on his back flapped rapidly.
After 3 breaths of time, a tornado was formed in front of Wu Jue. Then, Wu Jue pointed at Huang Jing's head and controlled the wind dragon.
Yi Tian sneered. He didn't think that Wu Jue would be hiding his strength so deeply. If it wasn't for the fact that he was forced into a desperate situation, Wu Jue would've been hiding his strength even more.
After thinking about it, he didn't hold back anymore. After summoning the Taiyuan Wood Sword, he muttered, "Transform." Like this, the Taiyuan Wood Sword disintegrated into thousands of thin threads and pierced into the canopy below.
Huang Jing rolled his eyes and let out a long sigh. He extended his right hand and summoned a red spirit light. Then he slowly clenched his hand and held the spirit light in his palm. Countless thin branches shot out from the tree crown and formed a 30 meter wide tree branch barrier around Huang Jing.
Yi Tian and Wu Jue's spells collided with the tree branch barrier, creating a series of bangs. However, after the spell was cast, a ten-meter-long tree ball appeared as a defense.
Seeing this, Wu Jue's expression froze for a moment before he summoned the wind dragon again. But this time, he manipulated the wind dragon to split it into several tiny wind blades. He then attacked Huang Jing's position, but this time, he didn't aim at Huang Jing's body. Instead, he aimed at the tree crown below Huang Jing's feet.
Kacha, kacha, kacha. The wind blades cut off many branches and hit the tree trunk. Who would've thought that a muffled groan would come from the tree trunk?
Huang Jing's expression changed greatly. He stared at Wu Jue for a moment before attacking again. He opened his hands and split the tree crown below him in half. Then, a large amount of branches quickly grew and formed a tree whip that was as thick as a bucket. It swept towards the two people in the air.
The tree whip created different degrees of distortion wherever it passed. When Yi Tian saw this, he quickly used the Dragon Tortoise Shield to block in front of him. With a bang, the tree whip hit Yi Tian and sent him flying back a full 30 meters before he could stabilize himself. He turned to look at Wu Jue in the distance. He wasn't in a good state either. In terms of defense, Wu Jue was definitely not as strong as him. Therefore, he could only rely on his escape technique to dodge.
The two pairs of black wings on his back flapped rapidly and he was about to fly out of the tree whip's attack range.
However, Huang Jing definitely didn't want to see this happen. He stretched out his hand and split the tree whip into four again. Four tree whips as thick as an adult's arm appeared in the air and surrounded Wu Jue, sealing off all his escape routes.
Huang Jing could see that Wu Jue's advantage was his speed. In order to deal with him, he had to reduce the space he could move around. Compared to Yi Tian, Wu Jue's method of dealing with the tree whip seemed to be playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. He was using his speed to move around. However, at the same time, Huang Jing took special care of him. The four tree whips on the tree trunk lashed out rapidly, reducing the space Wu Jue could move around to less than 30 meters.
Every time Wu Jue wanted to break out of the encirclement, one of the tree whips would point at him. As such, even if he wanted to break out, he would have to take a hit. Naturally, Wu Jue didn't want to pay such a price and miss out on several opportunities for no reason.
Yi Tian, who was standing at the side, saw everything clearly and naturally knew what Wu Jue was thinking. However, what did Wu Jue's life have to do with him? On the other hand, Huang Jing was a very troublesome person.
At this moment, he seemed to have been blinded by anger. No matter how he explained, it would be useless. When he thought of this, Yi Tian quickly scanned the ground below with his Spiritual Sense. He saw that Wan Gang and the other two had already landed above the shrubs. However, the ginseng flower seemed to have sensed some threat and retreated back into the shrubs with a 'whoosh'.
Seeing this, Yi Tian hurriedly chanted an incantation. Waves of golden light swept across Huang Jing's body. Huang Jing seemed to have been affected by the sound of the Eight Heavenly Thunder Sounds, but his body trembled slightly before returning to normal. Huang Jing turned around and stared at Yi Tian. After sizing him up, he shouted, "You actually know how to use the secret techniques of the Buddhist Sect. Since you are a Buddhist, you should have a compassionate heart. Why are you helping the evildoers?"
Yi Tian snorted coldly and stopped the Eight Heavenly Thunder Sounds. Then, he said, "It's just as you said. I didn't kill you. Moreover, I didn't agree to Wu Jue's request to work together with me to obtain your true body's wooden core. "
"You're trying to avoid offending both sides. You seem to have made a mistake by trying to benefit from both sides." Huang Jing said coldly, "Moreover, you even sent three of your companions to look for my true body. Let alone that you don't have any bad intentions, even if you don't, can you guarantee that the three of them don't have any bad intentions?"
Yi Tian was speechless. It was just as Huang Jing said. Even if he didn't want to dig out his true body, how could Wan Gang and the other two not have any other thoughts?
After being silent for three breaths, Yi Tian shook his head helplessly and said, "Since you think so, I don't have any other way. However, if you can retreat in time and let us out safely, I can guarantee that I won't attack your true body again."
