Chapter 327: Chapter 325 Glutton’s Intuition 1
Translator: 549690339 —
The trio conservatively crossed the deep black water region and reached the edge of the desolate island.
Although the island was filled with peculiar stones and showed no signs of any spiritual plant demonic beasts, Lu Xuan and his companions didn’t dare to let their guard down.
The outermost water region hosted a myriad of Ice Illusion Toads and the palace was close to the island. Logically, navigating through would only be more difficult.
As expected, Lu Xuan saw a cultivator trying to fly over the odd rocks from a distance. The moment he launched, he seemed to be ruthlessly pulled down by a potent force. He, along with his flying sword, fell to the ground with a thud. There s a Sky Barring Formation, we can only traverse on ground.”
The team quickly met up with other Foundation Establishment cultivators while remaining attentive to possible movements within the deeper parts of the desolate island.
After numerous futile attempts, everyone finally gave up the idea of flying over. These strange rocks are everywhere, I wonder what mystery lies within.” A beautiful woman had her eyes fixed on the peculiar pile of stones worriedly. “Let’s give it a try.”
A sinister cultivator dressed in a black robe released a multi-legged insect beast from a dark bag.
The insect beast scurried rapidly across the ground. In an instant, after moving about thirty feet, a rumbling noise came. Two odd rocks on either side instantly combined forming a pair of stone palms, turning the first-grade demon beast level insect into flesh mud.
Afterward, the stone palms automatically crumbled and turned back into bizarre rocks.
The surface of the strange rocks writhed, and the remnants of the insect beast that remained on their surface were quickly wiped out.
Subsequently, several cultivators also released seven or eight first-grade demon beasts. They dashed towards the palace from different directions but met the same fate as the multi-legged insect beast.
They didn’t get far before they were easily eliminated by the strange rocks on the ground in various ways.
These strange stones seem to form a unique array. If other objects enter its territory, they will be cleared by these versatile strange stones.”
A Foundation Establishment cultivator who was proficient in arrays speculated. “Who cares what kind of array, dare to block me from obtaining my opportunity, I will smash you into powder.”
The burly middle-aged cultivator we saw earlier suddenly grew in height, his muscles swelled, and veins surged, transforming him into a giant over three meters tall.
With a violent breath, he plunged directly into the strange rocks.
“The pile of stones is weird, but judging from their previous attacks, they shouldn’t pose any problem to a foundation establishment cultivator.” “Besides, there are nearly twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators here. No matter how powerful that stone array is, it’s impossible to trap us all.” “Everyone, let’s rely on our abilities.”
A Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator flickered a dark yellow spiritual light under his feet, as if fused with the ground soil, and slid rapidly toward the other side.
Lu Xuan and his companions exchanged glances and plunged into the pile of stones as well.
“Huh?”
As soon as he entered the stone maze, Lu Xuan sensed something amiss. The two people, Shi Zhong, who had rushed in with him, vanished without a trace. When he extended his spiritual sense to probe the surroundings, he could only cover a few feet before it sank like a stone into the sea.
“Nothing seemed wrong from the outside. Didn’t expect they’d arranged like this on the inside.”
“Never mind, this gives me an opportunity to let loose.”
With that thought in his mind, the spiritual power in his body surged violently.
A small, exquisite jade seal jumped out from his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
The Fengyue Yuyin enlarged rapidly in the wind and transformed into a jade mountain in an instant, smashing down on the odd rock that had suddenly formed into a giant stone palm.
“You like to slap so much, let’s see how you like being slapped.”
The colossal stone hand, over a foot in both length and width, was forcefully crushed underneath the jade mountain peak, shattering into countless fragments.
The peak reverted back into a finely crafted jade seal, and fell back into Lu Xuan’s palm.
At the sound of a rustling noise, the shattered fragments all melted into the ground.
Before Lu Xuan had time to react, a powerful gust of wind blew past his ear and a giant stone figure swung its gray-black fist, aiming straight at his head. ’ Lu Xuan’s palm turned crystal clear, and he met the gray-black rock fist with his own.
He had practiced both the “Liuli Bone Forging Method” and the “Transforming Dragon in the Void,” two body refinement cultivation techniques. Having consumed a large amount of Gold Marrow Jade Liquid and Jade Scale Fruit to enhance his flesh body, his strength was not inferior to many third-grade magic weapons.
Despite his smaller stature, it was the colossal stone figure who ended up defeated, crumbling from its fist all the way to its shoulder, the broken stone chunks fell off like rain.
Just as the figure was about to dissipate, the Fengyue Jade Seal in front of Lu
Xuan instantly enlarged into a jade mountain and crushed it into dust.
Lu Xuan immediately flashed to the left rear three feet away, smashing an emerging stone beast into pieces.
But the tenacity of the Odd Rocks exceeded his expectations. Despite destroying numerous stone figures at lightning speed, the Odd Rocks seemed unaffected, quickly transforming into new stone figures and beasts.
“This won’t work, continuing like this will just drain my spiritual power for nothing.”
Lu Xuan stopped and pondered.
“The Odd Rocks constantly transform into stone figures and beasts to block my path, and they exhibit extraordinarily powerful healing abilities. There’s no use trying to outlast them here in the formation.”
Either find the formation eye or the spiritual energy node and break the formation directly, or find a way to traverse through it quickly.”
“To trap more than twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators… A fourth ranked formation would struggle to achieve this. If it’s a Fifth Rank, the power shouldn’t be this potent. There must be a weak spot.”
A crack suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan’s palm, revealing a grayish-white pupil.
Above him, ten feet away, a grayish-white pupil suddenly emerged from the void.
Due to the prohibition effect, the pupil dropped sharply the moment it appeared, as if the eyeball was about to fall out.
However, the Void Nightmare Eye, being a Fifth Rank treasure, quickly adapted to the prohibition’s effect. The grayish-white pupil scanned its surroundings.
In Lu Xuan’s palm, the small pupil portrayed the scenes covered by the Void Nightmare Eye.
Over the entire deserted island, stones surged like a deluge towards the
Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had entered the territory of the island.
In other rarely visited areas, the Odd Rocks were barely seen.
“It turns out they all rushed to the Cultivators.”
Having observed this, Lu Xuan chose a direction where there were fewer Odd
Rocks and progressed swiftly.
In the Odd Rock maze, his spiritual sense was not very useful. Thus, he used the Grandmaster Level Earth Pulling Technique to sense the changes in the underground stone structures. This allowed him to react in real time and avoid direct confrontation with the Odd Rocks.
Just over a moment later, Lu Xuan felt a sudden lightness in his body.
“Finally, I managed to exit that stone formation.”
Lu Xuan glanced towards the distant palace and saw several streaks of light zooming towards the Mysterious Palace.
Looking at their figures, they should be the most advanced cultivators among the Foundation Establishment realm.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to follow them, suddenly, a gray vine sprouted from
his sleeve, its tip raised high, indicating in another direction.
“Are you saying there are high-grade spiritual plants there?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
The Demonic Vine nodded, unconsciously secreting gray mucus.
Alright, I will trust your food-loving intuition.”
