b blazed like a red-hot iron bar, yet radiated heat thousands of times hotter. Within a hundred zhang radius, low-ranking qi cultivators were overwhelmed by this immense power, gasping for breath as i...Once a powerful foe like Xiang Kuang makes a comeback, if he continues to fight him, not to mention Xiang Kuang's impressive strength, even the head of the Mangxiao family beside him could tell at a glance. Right now, his divine sense level has reached the strength of a mid-Yuan Ying cultivator. Lu Xiaoteng didn't intend to reveal the true extent of his primordial spirit to these two powerful cultivators.
"Hee hee, sorry, I got a little carried away. Don't blame me," Xiang Kuang said, but his face showed no remorse. If it hadn't been for Lu Xia Tian stopping him, he really wanted to continue testing this fellow who was only at the initial stage. He wondered if his primordial spirit had truly reached the level of being comparable to a great cultivator. But since the other party called out, he naturally wouldn't be able to continue.
"Five Dragons Playing with Pearls!"
Before Xiang Kuang's words could even finish, the five ferocious Jiao beasts, whose bodies were entangled with the ethereal flying swords, each opened their mouths and spat out a pearl the size of a fist, corresponding to their own forms.
Five fist-sized dragon pearls, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, shot towards Lu Xia Tian one after another.
At the same time, five ferocious flood dragons and a misty flying sword were locked in a fierce battle. A single flying sword was insufficient to counter the five-colored dragon head stick transformed into a ferocious flood dragon. Lu Xia Tian relied on the power of the sword array. The eight flying swords cooperated with each other, sharing the attacks of the ferocious flood dragons. For a time, they fought fiercely, making it difficult to tell who was winning.
And these five luminous dragon pearls seized the opportunity while the eight ethereal flying swords were being restrained by the ferocious serpent, and shot towards Lu Xia Tian. In a sense, at this moment, the ethereal sword formation had already failed to block the opponent's attack.
Lu Xiaoteng's brows furrowed slightly. This wasn't to say that the Misty Sword Formation was inferior to the opponent's Five-Colored Jiao Head Staff; after all, the gap in cultivation realms was too great. One day, if he advanced to become a Great Cultivator, even if he only used the power of an early Nascent Soul cultivator, against this fierce fighting method, he would definitely not be in the current predicament. After all, the five ferocious Jiao were being led by the Misty Sword Formation, and the five Jiao Pearls they spit out were somewhat less powerful than the ferocious Jiao themselves.
Lu Xia Tian extended his left palm, the Ruyi Battle Armor instantly covering it, reaching out towards the void. In an instant, a series of sonic booms echoed in the air as a hand, solid and tangible, shot out to grasp the five flying Jiao Pearls.
Xiang Kuang let out a soft cry, pointed at the void, and five dragon pearls flared brightly. With a buzzing sound, they separated and shot in five different directions, intending to encircle Lu Xia Tian.
In the void, Lu Xia Tian's hand, condensed like reality, shot out, its fingers striking one after another with booming explosions. Several faint walls of light formed from streaks of brilliance blocked five Jiao Pearls each.
A giant hand, as if made of real substance, swept through the void once more. The five dragon pearls, as if pulled by an irresistible force, slowed abruptly in mid-air. Several faint light walls rippled and moved slowly, forming a massive cage that surrounded the five dragon pearls.
“Treading the Dou Cloth Gang, this is a technique only cultivators above the tenth level can possess!” At this moment, even Xiang Kuang and the headmaster of Mang Xiao, these two great cultivators, couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment. Though body cultivators are now dwindling, they still possess mystical and unpredictable methods. Lu Xia Tian's duel with him, besides that set of sword formations, the techniques he used just now, though he had an additional ancient silver fist guard on his hand, at their level of cultivation, they could naturally discern the source of this power. Body cultivators are unlike ordinary cultivators who cultivate their spiritual energy. Instead, they refine their physical bodies. A Jindan-level body cultivator condenses blood into Gang, and a Yuanying-level body cultivator, building on this foundation, separates the Blood Gang from their body and controls it with their heart. This can produce countless variations.
Cultivators above the tenth level have powerful physiques far exceeding ordinary individuals. However, their spiritual souls are often weaker than those of nascent soul cultivators. Despite this, in the current duel, this person's control over the sword array is masterful. Even when Xiang Kuang's five-colored dragon head staff transformed into a dragon and danced with the ethereal flying swords in mid-air, expanding the sword array to cover an area of several dozen li, there was no sign of hindrance.
He had expected this person to control the sword formation while also attacking him directly with the Dragon Pearl, disrupting his control over the formation. Unexpectedly, he encountered this move, which was surprising. Even a powerful expert like Xiang Kuang couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment at Lu Xia Tian's methods at this time.

“Transformation of the Jiao Beads!” Xiang Kuang pinched a hand gesture, his fingers tracing through the void. The five Jiao Beads instantly altered their combat styles. Trapped by several walls of Qi, they met each attack head-on. After several exchanges, Xiang Kuang realized that breaking out wouldn’t be easy. However, his five-colored Jiao Head Staff wasn't only powerful, but also incredibly versatile. Ordinary cultivators simply couldn't force him to use these techniques.
Five Jiao Pearls hummed softly as they retracted, a burst of radiance filling the space before transforming into a five-colored demonic python once more. The demonic python opened its mouth, and within the earthen glow, a small earthen peak materialized, hovering menacingly downward.
That small peak enlarged dramatically at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, pressing down on Lu Xiaitian.
“Haoyuan Peak, Xiang Fozi, you have broken the agreement.” This peak was incredibly heavy. Even a cultivator at the early stage of Yuan Ying couldn't budge it. It wasn't just about mana, but also required strict demands on divine sense. Mang Xiao’s Patriarch witnessed the two engage in combat. Even with Xiang Kuang suppressing his strength, he felt a sense of being enlightened. However, he was still closer to Lu Xiaoteng, and seeing Xiang Kuang sacrifice this Haoyuan Peak, he shouted loudly.

"Hehehe, this Haoyuan Peak has been refined into the Five-Colored Jiao Head Staff. Using this Haoyuan Peak consumes a lot of both magical power and divine sense, so it's not a breach of contract. Besides, this kid's strength isn't what a nascent soul early stage cultivator should have. Even if a nascent soul mid stage cultivator encountered him, few would be able to fare well against him."
Xiang Kuang let out a sinister chuckle, his eyes shifting to Lu Xia Tian. The look in his eyes grew increasingly intrigued, "It's been ages since I've encountered such an interesting opponent. Accept the might of my Hao Yuan Peak strike!"
"So what if I take your attack" Lu Xia Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. As his divine sense moved, the giant hand in mid-air flashed and flattened itself, appearing below Haoyuan Peak.
Little Tian's face suddenly flushed with a hint of embarrassment when Hao Yuan Peak came into contact with the Solid Palm.
“This Haoyuan Peak is so heavy.” Even with his own strength, he could barely hold it up. Though he had managed to withstand it for a moment, the Haoyuan Peak was still slowly descending. This Haoyuan Peak probably weighed at least several hundred thousand pounds. And from within the body of Haoyuan Peak, there were powerful mental forces that were relentlessly attacking Lu Xiaitian’s main body.
A faint flash of fire passed, Lu Xia Tian under Haoyuan Peak tower vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he was over two hundred meters away. Haoyuan Peak missed him.
"Fire escape jutsu! Your sword formation lacks any fire at all, yet you wield this fire escape technique. It seems you possess a certain extraordinary spiritual fire. Your methods are indeed impressive. What kind of spiritual fire is it Show me." Xiang Kuang's face was filled with anticipation.
The five ferocious flood dragons transformed from the Jiao Pearls charged towards Lu Xia Tian once again with Mount Haoyuan. Lu Xia Tian was not surprised by this, this fire escape technique had limited effect on cultivators of his level; it could only provide a temporary respite. Back when he fought against the three-headed serpent demon Bi Qiong, he had encountered such a situation before.

"As you wish." Lu Xia Tian extended his sleeve, and a large expanse of blue spiritual fire engulfed the area in front of him, encircling the five ferocious pythons formed from the Jiao Pearls.
