Chapter 2713: Hesitation

he longer one lived, the more they cherished their life. Cultivators strived for the Jindan path and a longer lifespan, even more so they treasured themselves. But Xue Ling was willing to risk her lif...Lu Xia Tian's eyes flickered, continuously sizing up the demonic infant before him. The power of this Soul Devouring Heavenly Demon Blade was formidable; even a cultivator at the Great Ascension realm wouldn't lightly try to wield it. Of course, with the demonic infant's current strength, even if it used this demonic technique, it wouldn't pose a threat to cultivators at the Great Ascension realm. If the Tongtian Demon Monarch recovered to its prime, even cultivators at the Great Ascension realm would dare not underestimate it.

For cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, there was almost no chance of survival. The Soulstealing Demon Blade could only unleash one attack, and with that single strike, it devoured gods and souls. Even Lu Xiaoteng's main soul consciousness wouldn't be able to withstand this blow without special means.

The formidable aspect of the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Demon Blade lies in its attack against the soul. Ordinary magic treasures are utterly useless against it. However, Lu Xia Tian confidently possesses a Life Soul Fortune Pill; while the wounds inflicted upon his soul can be healed, the process might be excruciatingly long.

For now, it's not advantageous for him to enter the Changan Heavenly Realm.

Moreover, the demon infants Lu Xiaotian helped Li Danwang rescue back then were a pair. Only one appeared before him now, and the other demon infant's whereabouts were unknown. With Tong Tianmojun's shrewdness, he clearly wouldn't have put all his eggs in one basket. Even if it cost him a price to forcefully keep this single demon infant, for Tong Tianmojun, it might be a considerable loss, but not necessarily fatal.

Even if this demon infant reveals the Soul Devouring Sky Demon Blade, it will come at a great price. Breaking his layout in the Ziwu Thunder Yang Valley has also cost the Heavenly Devil Lord dearly. At least the foundation of the chaotic demon domain is shaken. Even if he escapes now, he must find a place to lick his wounds. The basic objective has been achieved. There's no need to fight the Heavenly Devil Lord to the death anymore.

The demonic infant was incredibly perceptive, seeing the hesitation in Lu Xia Tian's eyes. He immediately began to retreat, relying on his Soul-Devouring Heavenly Demon Blade. Tong Gui fixed a wary gaze on Lu Xia Tian, "To have pushed this king to such a desperate situation with only your nascent soul cultivation, Lu Xia Tian, you are indeed worthy of pride."

After that, the demon infant let out a sinister laugh and vanished before Lu Xia Tian's eyes.

At this time, the Ziwu Thunder Yang Tomb's prohibition set by Lu Xiaoteng had been destroyed considerably. A large amount of demonic mist, along with those uncontrolled and unrestrained Bu Xi Zhu Mo Apes and other corpse demon evils, surged out from the broken prohibition towards the outside of the tomb. This would undoubtedly bring a significant disaster to the chaotic demon realm.

As the lair of the Demon Infants, the Ziwu Leiyang Tomb houses a multitude of demonic creatures. It's likely to soon become an ideal training ground for many demon cultivators, with constant battles raging here for a long period until a new overlord emerges to replace the former ruler, Ji Yuan.

But Lu Xia Tian wasn't interested in any of that. The turmoil of the Chaotic Demon Domain, or the shifting power dynamics in other areas, were inevitable during times of upheaval. It was something he couldn't change. He didn't cultivate demon dao, and dominating such a territory wouldn't benefit him. As for Xiang Kuang, Feng Ling, and Du Feng Hu, they weren't strong enough to rule this place alone yet.

Being left with nothing to gain, Lu Xia Tian frowned slightly. Taking advantage of the current chaos, while the two-tailed demon wolf was still frantically collecting demon souls and Mo Yu Yan was preparing to enter the Chi Gang Heavenly Realm, Lu Xia Tian's heart churned with thought, a glint of ferocity in his eyes. Most of the disputes in the world were caused by greed. He had exhausted all his efforts to wound the Demon Infant and severed the Tongtian Demon Lord's plan in the chaotic demon domain. Now that there was still some time before entering the Chi Gang Heavenly Realm, this was naturally a good time to reap the benefits and settle accounts with several old adversaries.

In the chaotic demon realm where bloodshed is rampant, mercy has no sway over those demonic fiends. Only ruthless methods can deter other covetous parties. The old monsters Xuan Zun and the Turtle Demon dared to intervene in this matter, coming uninvited. With his hands free at the moment, Lu Xia Tian naturally wanted to return the favor in kind.

Furthermore, the powerful forces of Yuntang, Xuanzun, and the Tortoise Demon Clan have amassed power for many years, rivaling that of Lord Mo Yan. Lu Xiaoteng's own cultivation consumes a frightening amount of resources. It would be a shame not to take this opportunity to reap some benefits for himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xiaoteng quickly exited the Ziwu Leiyang Tomb. At this time, Yun Cangyue was still sitting in her original position outside, adjusting her breath. In order to contact the long-browed monk, Yun Cangyue consumed a huge amount of energy, and she waited for Lu Xiaoteng's news outside the Ziwu Leiyang Tomb. Regardless of whether he won or lost, there had to be a result. The Tuzhu Buddha Sect entrusted him with an important task and didn't mention it. They simply threw Lu Xiaoteng into the Ziwu Leiyang Tomb and ignored him. Even if he went back, he couldn't get past those powerful cultivators in the Heding stage in Chiyue Desolate Land.

Only after interacting with the forces of the Chiyue Desert for a long time would one truly understand Lu Xia Tian's prestige among these people. If he were to leave alone, if Lu Xia Tian made a slip-up in the Zi Wu Lei Yang Tomb, it would be light for the Chiyue Desert masters and Zhu Xia Mountain to sever ties. In truth, if things were not handled well, war between the two sides would not be surprising.

“Lu Danwang, you’re out,” Seeing Lu Xiaoteng and that mysterious sword cultivator who had transformed into a flying sword emerge from the Zi Wu Lei Yang Tomb one after another, Yun Cangyue excitedly stood up with a delighted expression, “How is the battle going”

In fact, Yun Cangyue knew that Lu Xia Tian and the mysterious swordsman could come out of the Ziwu Lei Yang tomb unharmed, which at least meant that Lu Xia Tian had not suffered a loss. Two tigers fighting will inevitably lead to one being injured, and the injured party is most likely the Heavenly Demon Monarch.

“Ji Yuanzhu was controlled by the Heavenly Demon Lord using a demonic infant. Although I don't know what relationship the demonic infant has with the Heavenly Demon Lord, I definitely damaged Ji Yuanzhu's physical body, which also inflicted some injuries on the demonic infant. However, it still managed to escape.” Regarding the details of Lu Xiaoteng’s battle with the demonic infant, he only briefly mentioned the outcome of their fight.

"After this battle, the situation in the chaotic Demon Realm is beyond doubt. Lu Dan Wang, you have almost single-handedly quelled the chaos of the Chaotic Demon Realm for a thousand or hundreds of years." Yun Cangyue said with emotion.

“It’s too early to settle the chaos, I still need to find a few more guys to settle old scores. If Yun Daoist is free, go and meet with Zhu Qi and his group, prepare to take over Yuantang, the Turtle Demon, and Xuanzun's sphere of influence.” Lu Xiaottian didn’t make any humble remarks. After the great battle, it was time to start fighting for interests.

"Given the current situation, with the Demon Clan still present, relying on the strength of the Chi Yue Desert to control one or two factions is still possible. However, if they divide their forces, it's highly likely that they will fall into disarray under the counterattack of the Demon Clan's main army."

Yun Cangyue’s expression was not without worry. Though the demonic army had suffered heavy losses, there were still those in the Heding stage and even some in the later stages. A thousand-legged insect dies but does not perish, the entire Red Moon Desert may be powerful, but it relies too much on Lu Xia Tian. There are many strong experts in the Heding stage, but most of them are newly promoted and their individual strength is not particularly strong.

“It's fine, even if the Ice Crown Crocodile Demon is badly injured, its deterrent power remains. Jian Chi and I will split up, first capturing Xuan Zun and the Turtle Demon, then we'll talk.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head. With the massive consumption required for his cultivation, it would be a good time to take advantage of this chaos to make a fortune.
