Chapter 2731? Giant Cave-Beast Bones
ully awoke to the situation and the increasingly powerful sword qi he was unleashing, it was too late to turn back. When he finally tried to retreat, he realized he had ventured far into the forbidden...Having dealt with a weaker opponent, they were about to take on the late-stage Gray Eagle who was fused together. Several wolf-tooth clubs flew through the air from the ground. However, the stone men, upon seeing Lu Xiaoxiao and Mo Yu'yan, mistook them for outsiders and attacked them.
As the battle reached its climax, Gray Eagle saw that the ground was swarming with stone golems. He seized this precious opportunity to catch his breath and gathered the last of his strength. With a powerful flap of his wings, he fled at an astonishing speed, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye. His gigantic form shrank until it became just a tiny black speck.
As for the golden unicorn pegasus beneath Mo Yu'e, it was extremely agile and effortlessly dodged the attacks of the stone men below. These stone men didn't have many tricks up their sleeves, but their strength was astonishingly powerful. The wolftooth clubs looked rough, but the earthen spiritual power within them felt as heavy as a mountain. Each swing carried the force of a landslide crashing down.
Mo Yu yan's golden spear danced lightly, deflecting two rough wolf-tooth clubs. The gleaming spear circled one particularly powerful wolf-tooth club, giving it a spin at its tip before pulling forward. This caused the club to change direction and smash into the giant grey eagle bound by the golden river of light.
This stone man's methods are simplistic, relying solely on its own terrifying brute force. It's unlike the magical artifacts used by human cultivators, which Mo Yuèyan wouldn't be able to utilize in this way.
The wolf-tooth giant staff was deftly pulled by Mo Yu Yan, shattering through the air and striking the gray hawk's head with a deafening boom. The massive headless corpse struggled in mid-air for a few moments before plummeting to the ground like a broken kite.
With a deafening roar, the ground collapsed in a large crater. From within the depths of the pit emerged a throng of stone golems clad in ochre armor, each wielding deadly bows.
“Let’s go!” Lu Xia Tian greeted Mo Yu Yan. Mo Yu Yan's golden unicorn steed beneath her flapped its wings, scattering dazzling gold light in the void. Her lotus split form flickered, transforming into a flying sword. The sword moved like it was traversing an abyss, vanishing into the depths in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the arrows broke through the air. Although those stone men's methods were simple, their strength was extraordinary. The bows in their hands were unknown materials, and the arrows they shot ripped through the air, even exploding the clouds that drifted across the sky. The arrows were incredibly fast, and even the previous Gray Hawk would find it difficult to escape under such a barrage. At this time, the Lotus avatar used the "Hidden" technique from the Hidden Demon Sword Technique of the Hidden Demon Sword. Although the stone men below could not fly and couldn't see through the hiding place of Lu Xia Tian's Lotus avatar, under the hail of arrows, the flying sword transformed by the Lotus avatar almost revealed its true form.
As for Mo Yu'yan, she sacrificed a talisman, which manifested dozens of her figures in the void. The two of them managed to barely escape the attack range of this group of stone men thanks to this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This group of stone men didn't seem very intelligent, their brains were a bit dull compared to ordinary people. Once they set their sights on prey, they wouldn't let go easily. Although they couldn't fly in the air, they were incredibly fast on the ground. They chased Lianhua's avatar and Mo Yu'e for tens of thousands of miles until they reached a desert covered in flames, only then did they reluctantly retreat.

“Although the monsters in this Chi Gang Heaven Ascension Realm aren't very intelligent, they are incredibly troublesome.” At this time, Mo Yuanyan retracted her spirit beast and let out a slight sigh of relief.
"This group of stone people aren't the type to let their prey get away easily," Lotus said, her gaze sweeping across the burning wasteland.
“Are you saying there’s something here that even those stone men fear” Mo Yu Yan was also startled at this moment. Those stone men were already difficult enough to deal with, but now there was this nameless mysterious sword cultivator whose strength was almost unrivaled among the Nascent Soul Realm experts. His extraordinary sword intent far surpassed what ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could withstand. Perhaps only someone like Lu Xia Tian, a freak of nature, could match him,”
Now that Lianhua was splitting into several figures, Mo Yu'yan naturally became extremely wary.
The lotus avatar's brow was furrowed. Even though he had fought alongside his main body against Ji Yuanzhu and the illusory shadow of Lao Mo, relying on the immense power of his main body's primordial spirit, he could sense a hint of the realm of a Great Ascension expert and incorporate it into his own cultivation. But without his main body present, he found it much more difficult to sense many crises.
At this time, besides her remarkable swordsmanship, the lotus avatar's soul was not much stronger than other cultivators at the late stage of body fusion. The lotus avatar gazed into the distance, vaguely sensing a latent crisis, but couldn't pinpoint its source. If the main body were here, things wouldn't be like this now.
"It's very likely, but I can't sense their exact location right now. Let's go around them. As long as we stay along the edge of this desert, those stone men shouldn't chase us. Let's get rid of them first and then talk." The lotus avatar nodded in response to Mo Yu Yan's words.
Just as the two were about to leave, a sudden tremor shook the desert ablaze with flames. The earth cracked open, and with a deafening crack, a gigantic tail engulfed in blazing flames shot up from the chasm and whipped towards Lu Xiaoteng and Mo Yuanyan's location.
The lotus-born flying sword trembled, a sword shadow shooting out to meet the drawn tail in mid-air. The two forces clashed, locked in stalemate.
The long tail was made up of countless withered bones, with flames flickering across it. At this moment, a gigantic claw emerged from the fissure in the ground once more, reaching towards the sword shadow in mid-air.
The lotus avatar had been on guard there long ago, how could it let the other party have their way. At this time, that ethereal sword embryo flashed, and immediately joined the battle, directly slashing a light curtain to block the giant claw.
That massive bone claw was caught in the light curtain, struggling to advance or retreat. However, the lotus clone at this time was also not easy.
With a booming sound, a large amount of white and gold flames rose from below, showing signs of melting the sword curtain. A creature with two feet planted firmly on the ground and two smaller claws in front stood there. Its enormous tail was supported behind it. In its hollow eye sockets, it stared blankly at the ethereal sword embryo floating in the void.
After the lotus parted, it retreated a distance. The giant bone beast before him radiated an aura of residual tribulation thunder energy. Even this residual tribulation thunder energy was powerful beyond anything Lu Xiaitian had ever experienced.
Based on its enormous size and appearance, this giant bone beast should be an ancient Gigantic Beast. However, its aura is also extremely strange. Its aura has far surpassed that of a typical late-stage Fusion Realm cultivator, but it's not quite like a Great Ascension Realm expert either.
As a sword cultivator in the late stage of merging, Lotus avatar had encountered powerful cultivators in the Great Ascension realm on more than one occasion. Naturally, he could tell the difference clearly.

“Looking at the skeleton of this giant Que Beast, it seems to have been produced when it failed during the Transcendence Tribulation in ancient times. It should have scattered its soul and essence, but perhaps relying on a certain magic treasure, it retained a sliver of primordial spirit. Controlling this skeleton, before its demise, this Giant Que Beast likely already possessed part of the strength of a Transcendent realm cultivator. Even if it's just a trace of residual primordial spirit and will, for us, it’s terrifying enough!”
As the mistress of Xinggong, Mo Yu'yan inherited the legacy of Xinggong. From the records left by the previous palace masters, she knew some things that Lu Xiaoteng was unaware of.taking advantage of the astonishment on the faces of the newly arrived seven people, reached out his hand directly.A stout middle-aged man in black was startled, hurriedly brandishing a bronze flower...
