Chapter 3733: Playing a Game Within a Game

ng felt a slight sense of relief looking at the mist before him. Since the last time this fog-shrouded place yielded an immortal crystal vein and was struck by the icy and golden murderous qi, the res...“With seniors personally overseeing things, there shouldn't be too many problems,” Lu Xiaodao said.

“As a fellow alchemist, you are aware of the challenges of alchemy's success rate. Originally, curing Deputy City Lord Xue was a sure thing, but now things are different.” Yihuadao shook his head.

“But what happened” Lu Xia Tian exclaimed in surprise. Compared to the last time he met the One-Way Daoist, the other party seemed to have lost a few points of confidence.

“I underestimated the demons within Luo Yuan Prison. The Devouring Heart Demon actually broke through the City Lord’s blockade and used some means. Although I repelled it, it wounded several Dan Saints. The nine altars you see now, two are actually already damaged. This greatly reduces the possibility of successfully forming a pill.”

Yi Hadao said, "Originally, it would be possible to rebuild the altar and summon more Dan Shengs to cooperate. However, there is not enough time. Deputy City Lord Xue cannot wait that long."

"The heart demon of erosion and carnage actually broke through the Luo Yang Prison Immortal Army's defenses to the core region of the Immortal City and is making a move." Lu Xia Tian was instantly astonished. If that were the case, wouldn't he be in danger here too

“Shi Lu Xin Mo is adept at controlling hearts. Even a casual celestial immortal cannot resist his methods, so he was able to sneak in using this technique. I was also a bit careless and fell for his trap. I thought he would attack Xue, the deputy city lord, but I didn't expect him to use a diversionary tactic, damaging the foundation of the Jiǔjǐ Dan Dao within my Jin Que Jiu Jī Huà Yuàn Dan.” Yihua Dao Ren truthfully explained.

"Is there no other way" Lu Xia Tian asked.

"There's no better way for now." Yi Huadao shook his head, "One cannot retract a shot once it's fired. Although this matter has already been reported to the Heavenly Court, whether or not we can succeed in refining the elixir depends on ourselves. This time refining the elixir, I'm afraid it will require more help from young master Dongfang. At that time, don't blame me if the things I dispatch are too complicated."

“To receive guidance from a senior is naturally something I would be delighted to have, but alchemy is all it is. It's certainly better than fighting demons on the front lines like those Xianjun warriors,” Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed as he smiled. “I wonder if what you said earlier about having another jar of Mie Sheng Ji Lei still holds true”

"Indeed, naturally." Yihua Daoist nodded slightly after a moment of surprise. Then, with a flick of his hand, he sent a vial of Leiye flying towards Lu Xiaottian.

With a deafening boom! Five hammer shadows smashed down from the void, striking the azure Leihu (thunder cauldron) squarely. However, the thunderous void suddenly transformed into a giant hand that caught the hammer shadows. At the same time, Lu Xia Tian's body violently retreated backward.

“Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving. But this old demon is curious, how could a mere Xuanxian like you see through my disguise” The figure in front of Lu Xia Tian let out a strange laugh, reaching out with his hand to grab at the void.

"But just a mere avatar, daring to leave Luoyang Prison and run amok in Jiuyang City!"

Lu Xia Tian was truly bewildered by the man before him at first. He had to admit, this Erosion Heart Demon was quite formidable, being able to infiltrate Jiu Yang City.

Of course, with a real Daoshi sitting in the main city, the true body of Xie Lu Xin Mo wouldn't dare to come over. After all, the risk was too great. Under normal circumstances, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't be confused by the opponent's mere avatar, but knowing that there was a Daoshi in Jiuyang City, Lu Xia Tian took the initiative to retract most of his primordial spirit, letting out only an amount equivalent to an ordinary celestial fairy. Without much attention, he naturally fell for the other party's trick.

However, Lu Xia Tian had been in contact with Yizhizao Ren before. After hearing the other party's words, he realized that Yizhizao Ren at this time was not quite right. As for the last sentence about the so-called Mie Sheng Ji Lei, it was completely a test. In fact, there was no such thing at all. As a gift from Yizhizao Ren to Lu Xia Tian's disciple Lin Shiqing for healing his injuries, Yizhizao Ren had already given Lu Xia Tian a jar of Mie Sheng Ji Lei. Lu Xia Tian even used this thunder to open up an area tens of thousands of miles in diameter within the Qingguo boundary.

After a bit of probing, Lu Xia Tian discovered that something was amiss with the demon. Naturally, he quickly withdrew. At this time, the nine altars that resembled the nine points of the Nine Extremes within the Golden Palace Nine Extreme Primordial Dan had transformed into nine black smoke pillars, emitting a black smoke that formed a huge cage. No matter how Lu Xia Tian tried to dodge and weave, it seemed impossible for him to escape the range of this cage.

“You, young one, have surprisingly keen eyesight. No wonder you've earned such a great reputation with your cultivation at the Xuanxian realm. Even when I was at your level back then, I was nowhere near as good. If you had enough time, there's no saying you wouldn't reach my level someday... It's a pity, it's a shame!”

The split soul of the demonic Heart-Eating Fiend chuckled, "Even if it's just a mere incarnation, a Daoist's abilities are indeed formidable. However, he focuses solely on alchemy. Since my incarnation managed to enter this place, before he can react, I have more than enough means to deal with you. Be reasonable and surrender, accompany me to the Luo Yang Prison. Otherwise, when things escalate, I fear I won't be able to control my murderous intent."

“Since we've already started, what's the point of all this talk If you have the guts, just bring your horses over.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head and smiled.

Although he didn't mind using Luo Yangyu to weaken the power of Honghuo Heavenly Court, it was a bit naive to say that just Luo Yangyu could shake the rule of the entire Honghuo Heavenly Court. Luo Yangyu has been making a fuss until now and hasn't even been able to occupy the entire Jiuyang City, and Jiuyang City is only a corner of the entire Honghuo Heavenly Court.

Even if Lu Xiaotian's identity was eventually exposed by the Heavenly Court, it would likely be a long time coming. Before that, Lu Xiaotian still needed to amass enough cultivation resources through his assumed identity in the Heavenly Court and prepare several backup plans for himself. He absolutely wouldn't confront the Heavenly Court with his current cultivation level.

Since Jiuyang City is still under the control of the Immortal Army, making a move here would sooner or later alert a Heavenly Dao cultivator. Most importantly, Lu Xia Tian also wanted to see how powerful this Golden Immortal avatar was.

Very soon, Lu Xiaoxian saw the methods of the Erosion Heart Demon's clone. The nine black smoke pillars spread out, forming a pitch-black world around them. This didn't affect Lu Xiaoxian's vision, but as he walked forward for a distance, he encountered the Erosion Heart Demon's claw swiping towards his face. Lu Xiaoxian used the Ganfeng Wuling and struck directly with a hammer. The Erosion Heart Demon clone made a move, and with just one Ganfeng Lingyong, it was still not enough to repel him.

As the black claw retreated before his eyes, a sense of danger approached from behind. At this point, it was too late to summon the Ganfeng Five Spirit Figurines for help. However, Lu Xiaoteng didn't make any move. The claw grabbed onto Lu Xiaoteng, and suddenly, a dragon roar echoed around him. The opponent’s claw landed on the dragon shadow but failed to harm Lu Xiaoteng in the slightest.

“Dragon Soul Armor!” Shi Lu Xin Mo’s split personality exclaimed.
