e field of alchemy, which she prided herself on, Guo Jingyu naturally didn't think that she, a second-rank alchemist, would be inferior to Lu Xiaotien, a cultivator. 。Duelling and alchemy are complete...Lu Xiaoxiao boasted that his dragon's body was incredibly tough. Even under such a violent impact, he didn't leave a single mark on the ground.
“It’s actually Luoyao Crystal Stone! This whole land is” Even Lu Xia Tian, who had seen a lot of the world, was still shocked by the scene before him. Pure Luoyao Crystal Stone was already an excellent material for refining immortal weapons and dragon weapons. The entire piece of land in front of him stretched as far as the eye could see, at least on the surface it was all this kind of Luoyao Crystal Stone, which simply overturned Lu Xia Tian’s cognition.”
All in all, he had been to quite a few places in the Immortal Realm. From Honghào to Yuxuan Heaven, the East Sea Dragon Palace, and even secret realms of hidden sects and Buddhist monasteries beyond the Heavenly Court's control. Places like Jiuyang City and Xingyun City within Yuxuan Heaven were among the most renowned cities in both sides' heavens, yet Lu Xia Tian had never seen a place with such a staggering amount of immortal materials as this.
The twelve celestial immortals and eighteen puppet warriors were the last to land on the ground. The power of the laws cultivated by these people or puppet warriors was indeed more substantial than Lu Xiaoteng's current cultivation, and their existence itself was far beyond that of ordinary celestial immortals. One was personally trained by the Starbeam Palace Master, and even a star bead in its brow carried the breath of the Starbeam Palace Master.
And the eighteen puppet soldiers were personally controlled by the split soul of Emperor Qiling, and their understanding and application of the power of laws are naturally not at the same level as ordinary celestial beings.
What intrigued Lu Xiaotiān was Qinling Emperor's golden immortal puppet body, and whether the Starbeam Hall Master had come to this strange place. The ghost Buddhas under Burning Cloud Ancient Buddha, even those directly controlled by Burning Cloud Ancient Buddha themselves, had long since disappeared. Perhaps they were so powerful that even under the gravitational arts of this strange place, they wouldn't be affected as much as these celestial immortals. As for the Jade Xuan Immortal Army below the Celestial Immortal level, the Yunsha Terracotta Warriors, the True Immortals, and the Immortals, all were indistinguishable under the terrifying gravitational arts. As long as they didn't have incredibly good luck and happen upon that yellow halo, they had all become a blur of flesh and blood.
As for the last batch of puppet soldiers, the Twelve Star Guards, who landed, those lucky enough to land in the area with the densest yellow aura and, thanks to their formidable strength, suffered little impact during their descent. They remained unharmed.
There are also some, like Lu Xiaitian, scattered at the edge of the yellow halo. At first when they descended, they were naturally a bit uncomfortable, and some may have even sustained minor injuries, but overall, there wasn't too much of a problem.
And there were some who were even more unfortunate, not even catching a glimpse of the yellow glow before being forced to land hard. With a deafening boom, one of the star cruisers even contorted its facial features, its face turning crimson as it spat out a mouthful of blood.
In contrast, these puppet warriors, with their sturdy puppet bodies, have an advantage in physical combat. However, the gravity mystic art prevalent here affects not only the flesh but also the spirit. The integration of Qinling Emperor's spirit with his puppet body is still inferior to the natural harmony between the twelve Star Guards' spirits and their physical forms.
With this addition and subtraction, the distance between the two sides has almost been narrowed.
The Twelve Star Guards and Eighteen Puppet Warriors were formidable in strength, but they did not suffer any direct casualties. However, many of them sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Lu Xiaotian glanced at them, and overall, five of the Twelve Star Guards were injured, with three seriously wounded. Of the eighteen puppets, five were seriously injured, and three lightly wounded.
Overall strength remained relatively balanced, but in this unfamiliar place, they were far from where the Cloud Sand Golem Warriors and Jade Xuan Immortal Army had previously clashed. However, both sides remained in a life-or-death adversarial relationship. Even after the yellow halo dissipated, facing the gravitational principles of the ground, those in better condition couldn't suppress the killing intent in their hearts. They each offset the immense gravitational influence from the ground and charged towards their injured enemies nearby.
And those previous lower-rank Cloud Sand Warrior and Jade Xuan Immortal soldiers, except for a few who were at the level of Xuanxian and could still struggle to move on the ground, were all adsorbed to the ground, unable to budge, let alone participate in the battle.
The battle here was on the level of celestial immortals, and it had a significant impact. Some divine abilities that could be easily used in normal times saw their power greatly reduced in this strange place. Controlling an immortal weapon detached from oneself put immense strain on one's spiritual consciousness and fairy essence, with consumption increasing exponentially. Moreover, the attack power was significantly diminished. These twelve star guards and puppet warriors were forced to grip their weapons and engage in close-quarters combat like ordinary martial artists. Of course, it couldn't be compared to a typical fight between mundane mortals. After all, these celestial immortal experts could still control their weapons to detach or cast some divine abilities, but the cost to themselves was immense, and their power was significantly reduced, making it somewhat a losing proposition.
However, this situation still couldn't shake the murderous intent in both sides' hearts. Some relatively intact Twelve Heavenly Immortals and puppet warriors rushed towards their opponents who were injured to varying degrees.
Whoosh, two heads flew off their bodies, while three puppets were slashed by the human celestial swordsmen. Their bodies were finally riddled with cracks and fell limply to the ground. One of them was so badly injured that its body scattered completely. A wisp of primordial spirit escaped and was immediately absorbed into another puppet by the arriving general Qin Lingdi. Even at Qin Lingdi's level, controlling these puppets required a split soul, which couldn't be easily discarded. Any chance of recovery had to be taken, and they would try their best to reclaim them.
At this time, Lu Xia Tian's movements appeared to be significantly slower compared to the twelve Star Guardians and eighteen Puppet Warriors. For now, Lu Xia Tian had no intention of interfering in this desperate struggle.
In a matter of moments, only eleven of the eighteen puppet warriors remained intact, standing on the ground. As for the original twelve Star Guards, only seven were still alive. Compared to before, the balance of power between the two sides had not been broken. The remaining seven Star Guards each wore expressions of grief on their faces. They, the twelve Star Guards, had cultivated their skills in alternating ways since childhood, complementing each other. In order to cultivate tacit understanding, they grew up together from a young age and were trained by the head of the Star Binding Hall.
The depth of their feelings for each other need not be said. The twelve Star Guardians have cultivated to this level, who knows how many tribulations they have gone through. The Hall Master of the Star Array prepared several batches of such Star Guardians, but only these twelve managed to succeed. As for the other batches of twelve Star Guardians, either because someone's cultivation couldn't keep up, or they suffered casualties during their training, and replenishing others could no longer maintain the perfect operation of the Twelve Profound Punishing Heavenly Star Array.uddhist aura within this residual realm was stronger than the outer perimeter of the previous grand formation. However, several demonic auras were equally powerful, not inferior to that of the Crimson...
