Chapter 45: Chapter 45 The Formation was Broken

Translator: 549690339

His defensive power and skills simultaneously advanced, and once again, the mysterious pale-golden totem manifested itself.

In the void, a gigantic golden totem contracted and formed a huge face that slowly branded onto Li Xiaobai’s physique, filled with divine radiance.

HIs body shone with a golden light, and Li Xiaobai felt every pore on his body greedily inhaling and exhaling the air around him.

He felt his body become extremely resilient.

With such strength of physique, even someone at the Nascent Soul Stage should already be unable to harm him.

He pinched his skin, not bad, very hard.

Indeed, a real man has to be tough!

Outside the formation, the experts from various Sects were greatly shocked upon seeing Li Xiaobai’s current appearance.

They had never seen such a totem; it seemed to be a human face, but it was too faint, not very clear to see.

Moreover, a fruit that had already morphed into human form suddenly burst into light and was bathed in divine radiance, signifying something that even an individual who had never cultivated could discern, the Dragon Serpent Fruit had broken through!

Such a breakthrough for a heaven-sent treasure was an opportunity that was rare to come by in a hundred years.

Its original grade probably needed to be elevated yet again, and at this moment, even the most composed Elder Feng could not remain calm.

A look of greed flashed in his eyes, helpless to the fact that such a fruit was too rare and must be controlled by the Holy Demon Sect; if they couldn’t obtain it, then others wouldn’t have the chance either.

In just an instant, Elder Feng had made up his mind—if he could not obtain the Morphing Dragon-Serpent Fruit, he was prepared to destroy his Magic Treasures to annihilate Li Xiaobai!

Fruits of such caliber were beyond the reach of those at Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation Stages, and even someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage might be driven to a killing frenzy.

None of the Sects present could allow others to snatch the Morphing Dragon-Serpent Fruit; that was a unanimous thought among all the heavyweights there.

In just a moment, the winds shifted.

Li Xiaobai suddenly realized that these big shots in front of him had inexplicably united, and he felt he was being targeted.

“Young friend, you really refuse to hand over the Dragon Serpent Fruit?”

Elder Feng still asked with a smile, yet a trace of cold light flickered in his eyes.

“This is my brother. What we value in our world is loyalty. Without it, people die.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

Chen Kun was so angry his nose was almost crooked.

Loyalty, damn it, what does loyalty have to do with you? Can you even write the word “loyalty”?

Where was your sense of loyalty when you were deceiving and cheating people?

The rest of the crowd’s expressions also turned sour, fully aware that the Morphing Dragon-Serpent Fruit was plainly setting them up. Now that faces had been torn, there was no need for pretense.

“I have an Array-Breaking Talisman that can break any formation in the world. Although Metal Slaughter’s Qi is powerful, it is still not a problem to briefly open a breach for a few breaths.”

The elder from Xiao Cheng Sect slowly said.

“Then what are we waiting for? Break the formation quickly, I want to kill this scoundrel myself!”

Dangerous light flickered in Chen Kun’s eyes.

Li Xiaobai felt somewhat nervous, even though he had strong defensive power, Chen Kun’s current appearance was truly frightening.

But he couldn’t lose his bravado.

“Hehe, you’re scaring me to death. Go on, break the formation, come in and kill me!”

“The Dragon Serpent Fruit here says this—if you don’t kill me today, don’t expect to leave this valley!”

“It’s not personal; I just want to say that everyone present here is trash!”

“I want two Dragon Serpent Fruits; the rest you can distribute among yourselves. If you agree, I will break this formation immediately!”

The elderly woman declared angrily, directly stating her price.

The audacious fruit needed a proper lesson.

“Deal!”

“No problem!”

“Hurry up and break the formation!”

“Alright, step aside, I’ll do it, though it may not be pretty!”

The old woman stepped forward at a leisurely pace, taking out an Array Plate from her bosom.

This Array Plate was pitch-black and seemed to have several beads rotating inside it.

“This Array Plate was also made by the grand-disciple of Elder Tianji, involving a pair of mother and child plates. The child plate was already put into that Space Ring during the trade. Just by activating the main plate, they will work in concert from the inside out, capable of piercing a passage through this Slaughter Formation.”

The old woman sneered sinisterly; did she really think she was without any precautions!

Ever since Elder Feng stopped her, she had kept an extra vigilant eye out, and now it had indeed come in handy.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaobai was also startled within—he had actually been infiltrated by the enemy.

He fumbled over several rings with his hand, trying to throw out the child Array Plate, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

A pitch-black Array Plate suddenly emerged from one of the Space Rings, hovering in the air and slowly beginning to glow.

“Heaven and Earth Formation, activate!”

“Yin Yang Escape!”

The old woman formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and the two Array Plates suddenly connected closely. An ancient and chaotic aura erupted, like the force of a thousand juns, forcefully blocking the continuously slicing Metal Slaughter’s Qi.

Li Xiaobai felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, as the aura from the Array Plate destabilized the Qi and blood in his body.

The Magic Treasure activated by a Divinity Transformation Stage expert was naturally not ordinary. The Array Plate blasted out devastating starlight, and within the dark plate, it seemed as if stars were orbiting inside.

This Array Plate appeared to be a microcosm of the Universe, quite extraordinary indeed.

Li Xiaobai marveled inwardly; the old woman’s tactics were very clever.

It seemed that his own strategies were still not deep enough, his counter-strategy awareness not strong enough.

In the future, when he had the time, he would have to learn more from his sixth senior brother.

“Minor Celestial Dust Prohibition Method!”

“Grand Circulation’s Star Shifting!”

“Open for me!”

The old woman roared, and as the two Array Plates reflected each other’s light, the starlight grew intense. They forcibly halted the surrounding Metal Slaughter’s Qi in its tracks, carving out a pathway.

“Three breaths’ time, hurry up and make a move!”

“Don’t fight within the Formation, get him out!”

“Circle around to the back, watch out for the Metal Slaughter’s Qi, move positions!”

“Heavenly Net of Earth!”

“Soft Bone-Dissolving Palm!”

“Pure Yang Sword Formation!”

“…”

Li Xiaobai hadn’t expected the Formation to actually be broken through by everyone, but the attacks from the Nascent Soul Stage and Divinity Transformation Stage didn’t seem too hard to withstand.

Maybe it was because many experts were coveting his Dragon Serpent Fruit body, so they intentionally pulled their punches.

His body took a direct hit from Chen Kun’s Soft Bone-Dissolving Palm; the affected area quickly started to rot and the muscles shriveled, but soon after, mysterious glyphs on his body glowed and the wound healed as before.

This was the effect of the Undying Golden Body; as long as he wasn’t killed in one hit, physical injuries could always recover.

[Attribute Points +1000.]

Sss!

The power of a Divinity Transformation Stage expert was truly dreadful, but his defensive power had also greatly improved, and he could now withstand such an attack.

The System was very impressive!

“Good lad, for a mere Dragon Serpent Fruit, you do have some skills!”

“As a Dragon Serpent Fruit, you’re quite remarkable!”

“Enough talk, get him out, we only have three breaths of time!”

Elder Feng frowned, decisively interrupting Chen Kun’s idle chatter. That guy always liked to show off passively, unaware of the situation at hand.

His figure flickered and he instantly appeared behind Li Xiaobai.

“You…”

Li Xiaobai saw the scenery blur before his eyes and before he could react, he was suddenly hundreds of meters away.

Looking back, the elders blocked the way, all with vicious grins, their faces filled with ill intent.

“Little brat, you were quite arrogant just now, weren’t you?”

“Come on, show that arrogance to this old man again.”
