Chapter 406: Terracotta Head Sculptures

tting away the mudstone demon's primordial spirit, Lu Xia Tian shook his head. Just now, he had fought a battle with the Shadow Scorpion King. The Shadow Scorpion King came with a menacing aura, but...It seems I can't wait any longer. Lu Xia Tian's eyes grew cold as he was once again hit by a heavy water bead. Although Zhao Yuanjun's strength was mediocre, the formation he controlled was truly astonishing. Being in this heavy water, the heavy water beads were almost inexhaustible. Once consumed, they could be replenished immediately from the heavy water.

The Water Pearl's attacks weren't particularly powerful, but they were endless. Moreover, the illusions were too formidable, making it impossible to distinguish reality. Even a skilled Foundation Establishment cultivator would likely be worn down in such a situation. Yet, looking at Zhao Yuanjun now, he seemed effortlessly calm and composed. With so many of them unable to discern the illusions, they couldn't launch any effective attacks against Zhao Yuanjun. Lu Xiaoteng's Dan Yuan Fire Jiao arrow was incredibly powerful, but it couldn't hit its target, leaving him helpless.

However, Lu Xia Tian still had other means against Zhao Yuanjun. If Zhao Yuanjun were a cultivator at the late stage of foundation establishment, he would be helpless. He could only blame the fact that the other party was only at the early stage of foundation establishment.

Originally, Lu Xia Tian was still planning to endure for a while longer, wondering if there would be a real mastermind behind the scenes. After all, when he met Zhao Yuan Jun at Diyan Mountain, the other party was only a cultivator who had reached the peak of Qi Refining. Over the past decade or so, he remained at the first level of Foundation Establishment. Such strength could allow him to move freely in this heavy water area and control such a powerful formation. It didn't seem realistic at all. According to Lu Xia Tian's estimation, there should be someone else behind the scenes. Otherwise, the bearded man before, also a master of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, would not have been injured for no reason. With Zhao Yuan Jun's strength, he shouldn't be able to do this. There are people who responded to Zhao Yuan Jun outside, and it is not impossible that there are none here.

However, it seems that without bringing down Zhao Yuanjun, he might find it difficult to hold on to his position himself.

Lu Xia Tian pointed at Zhao Yuan Jun, a stream of water hitting stone, the sound of ice cracking. Although this move was ineffective against cultivators with the same cultivation level as him, it was extremely effective against those with lower cultivation levels. Lu Xia Tian relied on this move to escape countless dangerous situations.

Zhao Yuanjun could use illusions to avoid his Dan Yuan artifacts, but this sonic attack was omnipresent. By the time he heard it, it was too late and there was no way to defend against it.

As soon as Bing Po Xuan Yin was unleashed, Zhao Yuanjun's expression indeed stiffened, and his body froze in the water. Having lost consciousness, those heavy water beads were now uncontrolled, like headless flies, bumping around haphazardly. Lu Xiaoteng used his sword to shatter a few of them. A mere handful of heavy water beads weren't enough to pose a threat to him.

When Zhao Yuanjun came to his senses, the Severing Earth Blade was already pressed against his neck. For good measure, Lu Xiaoteng's hand had already clamped onto Zhao Yuanjun's shoulder. With Zhao Yuanjun's foundation-building first layer strength, he didn't even have a chance to struggle under Lu Xiaoteng's grasp.

The Muchai woman, still within her own ranks, watched the scene in horror. She couldn't understand why the Lu surname youth who had been struggling to hold his ground within the formation was now able to subdue Zhao Yuangjun with a simple move within this terrifying Yiwanshi Heavy Water Illusion Formation.

Had Lu Xiaoteng known the situation of the external Third-party God and Di Kun, his previous strike would have directly resulted in Zhao Yuanjun's demise. He wouldn't have gone through such trouble controlling him. If Di Kun fails to locate the mechanism controlling this Yuan Chong Shui Illusion Array, getting out later might still depend on Zhao Yuanjun before them.

When Zhao Yuangu was recovering from the chaotic state, he suddenly realized that he had been controlled by Lu Xiaoteng. At this time, he couldn't help but smile wryly. He originally thought that Lu Xiaoteng had been practicing for some years and his aptitude and strength should not be weak. Unexpectedly, he also had times when he misjudged. All the people who were looking for the Ji Xing Stone together probably didn't have the strength of this young man named Lu alone. It was a mistake. However, thinking of the other party's extremely strange attack method, Zhao Yuangu couldn't help but smile wryly again. Suddenly, he whispered to Lu Xiaoteng, "Leave here as soon as possible, if possible, take my granddaughter with you! Be quick!"

Zhao Yuanjun, seeing his defeat, seemed to recall something terrifying. His expression tensed as he urgently reminded Lu Xiaodao.

What's going on

"Don't ask so many questions, we'd better leave now or we'll be too late." Zhao Yuanjun's face showed a hint of anxiety.

"The Zhao family has left behind nothing but trash. They entrusted the One Yuan Heavy Water Illusion Formation to you and yet, you can't even handle a few Qi Refining cultivators, being held captive by them instead. It seems there is no use keeping you around." A voice unlike any human spoke.

Only to see a ripple on the stone wall in the distance, and an enormous head image of a clay figure appeared within it. The sound came from that image’s mouth.

Since the moment this terracotta image appeared, Lu Xiaoteng felt a tremendous pressure coming from it. It was at least a Jindan cultivator. Lu Xiaoteng's face changed drastically, but soon, he regained some composure. If the other party was indeed a Jindan cultivator, with his current strength, there was no possibility of resistance. And the fact that the other party used Zhao Yuanjun, someone whose strength wasn't very strong, to do their bidding clearly showed that they weren't without weaknesses.

The surrounding heavy water suddenly shifted, and Lu Xiaoteng's expression hardened.

“Now, let you little fella see what a true one-element heavy water illusion array is!”

A large number of water droplets condensed from the heavy water domain, instantly reaching nearly two hundred. This was several times more than the heavy water balls Zhao Yuanjun had previously controlled.

It's this damned formation again. Before Zhao Yuanjun controlled it, he could bully Zhao Yuanjun because his cultivation was low, directly restraining him. The aura of the pottery head is far beyond the limit that a Qi Refining cultivator can reach. Even Lu Xiaoxiao felt a shiver run down his spine. It's clear that Bing Po Xuan Yin wouldn't have any effect on him.

Once the weakness of the One Yuan Heavy Water Illusion Formation was compensated, he probably wouldn't last long either. This formation was too terrifying. Lu Xia Tian's mind raced, unable to find any way to counter it.

This should be a line break.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"Come on!" Lu Xia Tian grabbed Zhao Yuanjun and was about to run in the direction they came from. He quickly sent a voice transmission to Zhao Yuanjun, "Do you know how to get out"

“There’s simply no way out. As long as we remain within this cave, any attempt to escape will be met with the formation's attacks. The only solution is for someone from the outside to deactivate the mechanism controlling the formation. However, once the formation activates, neither sound transmission talismans nor divine senses can penetrate it. I wanted to break the formation quickly, but now it’s already too late.” Zhao Yuangu said with a heavy heart.

Lu Xia Tian's face turned ugly, and the woman made of wood who was still forming a defensive formation looked utterly hopeless. She clearly hadn't expected Zhao Yuan Jun to be just a puppet manipulated by someone else. The truly terrifying person had only just emerged from the shadows, or rather, it wasn't even a person; it was that gigantic terracotta head statue.ed Ice Scorpions behind it. The Ice Scorpion Demon King, now missing a tail, had retreated back into the scorpion horde.The Ice Scorpion Demon leader, enraged and injured, spurred his tribe to attack...
