265: Incarnation outside the body, the back-up man of the monk named Xu

Lin Shiming watched Madam Zi and Xiao Chen inside the Great Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation, still incredibly calm.

Although he was releasing various trapping techniques to ensnare and kill the Purple Jade Demonic Python, there was a clear lack of spirit and an added dullness.

At this moment, he asked in confusion, "Extracorporeal Incarnation Technique?"

Madam Zi did not answer, but no answer was the best answer.

Perhaps this was why Xiao Chen and Madam Zi were able to so smoothly lure them into the trap.

Otherwise, other Cultivators would never have fallen for it.

However, Lin Shiming was puzzled because the latter, when entering the River Scenery Painting Magical Artifact, was clearly not an Incarnation; otherwise, Lin Xianzhi and the others would not have been mistaken at that time.

Unless it was an Incarnation from the very beginning, and the painting Magical Artifact merely concealed their special nature.

The transformation Lightning Tribulation came extremely fast. The thundercloud in the sky grew thicker and heavier, lightning arcs flickered between the clouds, and booming thunderclaps sounded from time to time!

In the blink of an eye, the lightning had condensed to its peak, like the wrath of a heavenly punishment. With a loud boom, a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket fiercely struck down.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, overjoyed, had already arrived beneath the taiqing purple jade fruit tree.

Now, no one and no beast could stop him!

However, the next moment, a massive broadsword suddenly slashed out, striking Xiao Chen's back. The Sword Qi and Killing Intent were almost at their extreme chill!

For a moment, Xiao Chen had no choice but to turn and block.

Xiao Chen took out a huge black tall tower, which blocked in front of him, deflecting the giant sword.

Yet, even so, his body was sent flying out like a cannonball.

"Who?" Xiao Chen was furious, but at the same time, he was utterly bewildered!

In this purple Secret Realm, someone was still able to follow him in.

And he had clearly checked a radius of a thousand li.

Only then did he bring a few people to Purple Jade Mountain.

And one must know, Purple Jade Mountain formed a huge natural illusion within the Small World. Without the Purple Mist Mirror Magical Artifact in Madam Zi's hand, it was impossible to enter this Secret Realm.

This was also why this taiqing purple jade fruit tree had not been widely publicized within the Sect.

And when they entered, they had given no one a chance to leave marks, and his peach blossom river scenery painting also blocked Divine Sense.

No one should have been able to track them!

Madam Zi's expression also changed drastically amidst her confusion.

Before them, six Daoist Robe Cultivators carrying heavy swords had appeared at some unknown time. Among them were three whom Lin Shiming recognized perfectly.

They were Wan Qing, Wan Wuyin, and their Fifth Uncle, whom they had seen in San Yuan Sanren (Three Elements Hermit)'s Immortal Cave!

They hadn't expected to circle back and meet again!

"Fellow Daoist Wan, I hope you won't go back on your word!" Inside the Great Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation, the slightly plump Cultivator surnamed Xu finally spoke.

Beneath his calm face was madness, a sneer, and bloodlust.

"Didn't you make an oath of the heavenly dao?" Xiao Chen's face was also grim.

He hadn't expected that it was the Cultivator surnamed Xu who had brought these people in.

The Cultivator surnamed Xu had made an oath of the heavenly dao. Violating it would mean being unable to Cultivate for life; once he Cultivated, he would definitely be rejected by the Heavenly Dao and suffer Qi Deviation!

"So what? Do you know that the Cultivator who left that day was my sworn brother? He didn't know a single piece of information, yet you still massacred him. Do you know what today means?" the Cultivator surnamed Xu coldly shouted.

His sworn brother was precisely the one who had voluntarily left during the Foundation Establishment gathering that day.

Afterward, Xiao Chen had taken the opportunity to pay a visit and even exterminated the Family behind that Cultivator.

His methods could be described as extremely ruthless.

"Besides, the Fellow Daoists of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect promised to support my Xu Family. What does it matter if I, Xu, am destroyed by the Heavenly Dao? I am already at the end of my lifespan. Could it be that you, old dog Xiao, would share the ziyu fruit with me and give me a chance to glimpse the Great Dao?" the Cultivator surnamed Xu coldly shouted, staring at Xiao Chen.

Seeing the latter's cold expression and discomfort at being ridiculed, he burst into laughter.

For a moment, he felt utterly refreshed!

Cultivating Immortality, Cultivating Immortality. If one isn't refreshed, what's the use of becoming an Immortal?

"Old dog Xiao, are you even worthy of Purple Mansion?" The Cultivator surnamed Xu wanted to say more, but suddenly realized that the extraction of True Qi had become even more terrifying, and his body suddenly began to shrivel.

Inside the Formation, Xiao Chen's face showed a ruthless expression; he was actually forcefully draining the Cultivator surnamed Xu!

"I, Xu, will wait for you in the Yellow Springs! Today, you will not get your wish!"

The Cultivator surnamed Xu roared with his last ounce of strength.

Then, a long-lost sense of relief appeared on his face.

Having violated the oath of the heavenly dao, he could no longer Cultivate. Cultivating would bring forth Heavenly Demons.

Now, it was, instead, an alternative form of transcendence.

Boom!

The Lightning Tribulation struck down. The Purple Jade Demonic Python no longer cared about the Formation. It roared, not only unafraid of the Lightning Tribulation but even attempting to charge into the sky and bite the Lightning Tribulation to pieces!

However, the terrifying Lightning Tribulation was hundreds of times stronger than the Wood Demon's Lightning Tribulation.

Under the roar, the once-unrivaled Taiqing Purple Jade Python transformed into an arc of lightning, surging and roaring within the Formation, its tail flailing wildly.

Lightning arcs flickered all over its body, and many of its purple crystal scales were directly blasted open, revealing purple flesh and blood underneath, a truly shocking sight!

And this was only the first wave of the Lightning Tribulation!

Inside the Formation, a small cluster of star-spotted insect clouds suddenly reappeared. The insect clouds began to float around Lin Xianzhi, forming an insect armor for him.

Under the biting, Lin Xianzhi instantly broke free from the Formation. With a flash, he appeared before Lin Xianzhi.

The two generations stood side by side, not attacking, but looking for an opportunity.

Only Shi Tai remained inside the Formation, struggling to hold on.

For a moment, his sorrow deepened!

He had never expected that among these five people, he was the only one without a backup plan!

Recalling the beginning, he had even been glad that he and the Cultivator surnamed Xu had reached an agreement!

Now, who would have thought that the others had all kept backup plans, luring in people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, at least securing a retreat for their Families!

He, on the other hand, had nothing!

But he had no time to think. The residual power of the Lightning Tribulation exploded, also striking the Formation. Although the power was greatly dispersed, it still caused Shi Tai's entire body to tremble uncontrollably, and many lightning arcs penetrated his body!

Fortunately, he was a Peak Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator; for a short time, he could still endure some residual power!

But if the Formation broke, or if the Lightning Tribulation intensified, he would surely die!

On the other side, beneath the jade tree of the taiqing purple jade fruit, the six members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect formed a siege, encircling the entire jade tree.

One of the elders, the same elder who had previously unleashed a sword Formation, once again took out his sword Formation.

As soon as the sword Formation appeared, Xiao Chen's face in the distance turned from green to purple.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Madam Zi, today's battle is inevitable. We must now let bygones be bygones!" Xiao Chen transmitted his voice to Lin Xianzhi.

Lin Xianzhi glanced at Lin Shiming, and the two nodded almost simultaneously.

The current situation was truly not optimistic. Lin Shiming and Wan Qing were already at odds, not to mention that Lin Shiming had also taken the Legacy of San Yuan Sanren (Three Elements Hermit)'s Immortal Cave from the other party.

The three instantly rushed towards the taiqing purple jade fruit tree.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect's sword Formation might be an unsolvable existence for others.

But for Lin Shiming, once a Formation was involved, the Spirit Devouring Ant was the bane of Formations.

A total of eighty-one Spirit Devouring Ants charged forward, and as the Spirit Devouring Ants tore open a large hole in the sword Formation, Madam Zi was the first to rush out.

At this moment, Madam Zi's pretty brows were tightly furrowed. She pressed her beautiful, fair hands forward, and a zither appeared in her grasp.

Her hands constantly plucked the strings, like an enchanting dance, and in the blink of an eye, she released thousands of spirit runes, sending them towards the six members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Madam Zi's Azure Sea Tide Art and Azure Sea Zither Music!"

"Seal your hearing!" Among the six members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the leading elder's face also turned grim.

The star-spotted ants that could freely break through their defenses, coupled with Madam Zi's Azure Sea Zither Music, made the situation on the field tricky once again.

Five people defended with their swords, while Wan Qing, behind them, rushed towards the jade tree, and in a blink of an eye, he obtained two ziyu fruits.

Just as he was about to get the remaining three.

Madam Zi's azure wave attack reached the members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Although they had sealed their hearing, the transmission of sound waves was not limited to hearing alone.

The terrifying vibrations tugged at the heartbeats of the Cultivators.

And endless water arrows emerged with the tide, shooting towards the people within the sword Formation.

The gap was precisely the doorway bitten open by Lin Shiming's eighty-one Spirit Devouring Ants.

In addition, Lin Xianzhi also swung his sword, unleashing his Ren Water Geng Metal Art to its extreme, accompanied by the soul splitting banner, a Divine Sense attack Magical Artifact.

The sword Formation of the five Ten Thousand Swords Sect members almost instantly disintegrated, and the five had no choice but to wield their heavy swords to defend.

And just then, at some unknown time, a gigantic hand stretched out from the Void Realm, slashing fiercely, like a torn painting. Xiao Chen, at some unknown time, walked out from within.

He had already reached the base of the jade tree, and with a flick, two more ziyu fruits landed in Xiao Chen's hand!

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi glared at each other again in anger. This Xiao Chen was indeed untrustworthy; at this moment, he actually took advantage of their three-person defense to snatch the spirit fruits.

However, this scene also angered the remaining five members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, especially Wan Qing's Fifth Uncle, the sword-carrying elder Wan Canghai. At some unknown time, he had conjured six spirit swords, and each one was a top-grade Magical Artifact.

The six swords fiercely slashed towards Xiao Chen.

In the eyes of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect members, not only were these ziyu fruits theirs, but everyone's gains on the field were theirs.

And Xiao Chen's elusive painting Magical Artifact, in their view, was undoubtedly extremely troublesome and had to be eliminated first.

"The Age of Genes"

Sure enough, Xiao Chen pulled at the painting and made to rush back into it. Having obtained two ziyu fruits, he had achieved his objective, and his Incarnation was about to be destroyed, so he naturally wouldn't linger there.

"Seventh Grand Uncle!" Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi exchanged glances.

Their hearts immediately filled with anger again. This Xiao Chen had actually tricked them twice in a row.

Although Xiao Chen had snatched two taiqing purple jade fruits, it was highly probable that he would share them with Madam Zi.

It was absolutely impossible for him to share them with them.

The two almost simultaneously retreated.

Leaving Madam Zi alone to face the remaining four members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

A sound Cultivator was already wary of Body Cultivators and Sword Cultivators. Without the restraint of Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming, she appeared even more isolated and difficult to support.

She could only continuously throw out one spirit talisman after another.

Instantly, two sword puppets appeared around her, helping her block most of the spirit swords.

But the swords of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were all heavy swords. Their wide, sweeping attacks, transforming into giant swords several zhang long, were simply not something the sword puppets could withstand. This resulted in only three members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect being able to suppress Madam Zi to the brink of death.

Elsewhere, six top-grade magical swords formed a sword Formation, beginning to cut at Xiao Chen's painting Magical Artifact.

However, Xiao Chen merely smiled coldly. His painting Magical Artifact was not just that.

He slashed his hand again, about to step into the painting.

But the next moment, to his disbelief, Lin Shiming waved several Spirit Devouring Ants, heading straight for the painting.

At this time, the Spirit Devouring Ants had already devoured many stalactites in the Grotto-heaven World, and their biting and devouring power were far superior to before.

They directly bit a large hole in the forbidden Formation.

His peach blossom river scenery painting failed for the first time, and his figure was revealed. However, what made Wan Canghai somewhat disbelieving was that Xiao Chen had already exited his encirclement.

But with his figure revealed, Wan Canghai would not let Xiao Chen escape with two ziyu fruits.

His finger moved again, and a palace-type Magical Artifact pressed down towards Xiao Chen.

At the same time, six top-grade magical swords formed a Sky-Slaying Sword, slashing towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen looked at Lin Shiming in disbelief and confusion. He hadn't expected Lin Shiming to actually see that his painting Magical Artifact was merely an illusion Formation Plate, albeit a very advanced one, but it was still countered by Lin Shiming's Spirit Devouring Ants!

"You beast!" On the other side, Wan Qing, who was in the process of harvesting the last ziyu fruit, suddenly felt dizzy.

At some unknown time, the Red-haired Demon Monkey had transformed into a three-zhang giant ape behind him. Its huge Crimson Flame Fire Staff fiercely smashed towards Wan Qing.

And Wan Qing, in his rage, also slashed towards the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

But a golden light flashed behind him, and the eight-winged Golden Winged Mantis had already obtained the last ziyu fruit.

One must know that at this moment, the speed of the eight-winged Mantis was something even Lin Xianzhi's full-speed flight couldn't match.

After swiftly obtaining the fruit, it fled to Lin Shiming's side. However, at this moment, the Golden Winged Mantis chirped, somewhat unwilling. In the past, it always killed enemies, but today it only snatched fruits!

"Retreat!" Lin Shiming transmitted his voice to Lin Xianzhi, who was currently fending off Wan Wuyin and the remaining Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

After taking one spirit fruit, they planned to retreat.

Unless the two of them exposed the war treasure ship.

And even if they did, once the Purple Jade Demonic Python passed its transformation Lightning Tribulation, they would be even more certain to die.

This Taiqing Purple Jade Python was clearly many times more fierce than the Jade Night Bat King.

After Lin Shiming obtained the ziyu fruit, his pressure instantly increased greatly. Wan Qing was already endlessly furious at this moment.

The treasures of San Yuan Sanren (Three Elements Hermit)'s Immortal Cave had been stolen, and now, Lin Shiming was also snatching the ziyu fruit. He was instantly enraged beyond measure.

He continuously took out several treasures, and even pulled out a spirit talisman engraved with a heavy sword!

It was a Golden Core Talisman Treasure of Fifth-Order Magic Treasure level. Its power, when activated by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was definitely equivalent to a single strike from a Fourth-Order Purple Mansion Cultivator!

Moreover, at this time, with six members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, they had an absolute advantage. No one could interrupt them from using the Talisman Treasure!

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect instantly split off two people to block in front of Wan Qing, while Wan Canghai alone put Xiao Chen on the brink of death.

The remaining three, one blocked Lin Xianzhi, and one blocked Madam Zi.
