Chapter 326 – Eater’s Intuition
Chapter 326 – Eater’s Intuition
The three of them crossed the deep black waters in the most economical way and arrived at the edge of the deserted island.
The deserted island was jagged with strange rocks, and there was no sign of any Spirit Plant Demonic Beasts, but Lu Xuan and the others didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.
The outermost waters were dotted with a large number of Ice Phantom Toads, and the deserted island was close to the palace, so by common sense, it would only be more difficult to penetrate through it.
Sure enough, Lu Xuan saw from afar a cultivator trying to fly over the strange rocks, and just as soon as he started, it was as if he was being pulled down hard by the force of 10,000 pounds, and he fell to the ground with a thud along with his flying sword.
“There’s a forbidden air type formation, it can only be shuttled from the ground.”
The three of them kept an eye out for movements in the depths of the barren island while quickly rejoining the other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After using various means several times in a row with no effect, the group completely died of the idea of flying over.
“This strange rocks are all over the place, I don’t know what mysteries are inside.”
A beautiful woman gazed at the oddly shaped pile of stones and said worriedly.
“Just try it and you’ll know.”
A sinister cultivator in black robes released a multi-legged insectoid from a dark cloth bag.
The bugbear crawled quickly on the ground.
After advancing about ten feet in a flash, suddenly, a rumbling sound came, and the strange rocks on both sides instantly combined into a pair of stone slaps, slapping the first-grade demonic beast level bugbear into mush.
Subsequently, the stone palms automatically disintegrated and reformed into jagged, strange rocks.
The surface of the strange stones squirmed, and the blood and flesh of the insectoid remaining on the surface quickly dissolved away.
Subsequently, there were also cultivators who released seven or eight first grade demonic beasts at the same time, charging towards the palace from different directions, and the results were all generally the same as that multi-legged bugbear.
Just after charging in not much further, they were easily resolved by the numerous strange rocks on the ground in various ways.
“These strange stones seem to form a strange formation, if anything else intrudes into the formation’s territory, it will be cleared by those strange stones with many variations.”
A Pre-Foundation cultivator who specialized in formations speculated.
“Who cares what kind of formations are not, if you dare to block me from obtaining my chance, I will directly smash them into pieces.”
The lanky middle-aged cultivator he had seen outside earlier’s body drew up violently, his muscles expanding and his veins rippling, transforming into a zhang-plus giant.
With a berserk aura, he directly rushed into the strange rocks.
“Although the pile of stones is a bit strange, from the previous display of attack power, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator shouldn’t have any problems passing through it peacefully.”
“Not to mention, there are nearly twenty people present at the Foundation Establishment realm, a stone formation, no matter how powerful it is, will not be able to trap so many people.”
“Let’s all just rely on our own abilities.”
The soles of a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator’s feet glowed with a dark yellow aura, as if they had fused with the ground soil, and they slid towards the opposite side at a fast speed.
Lu Xuan’s trio glanced at each other and rushed into the pile of rocks in unison.
“Eh?”
As soon as he entered the stone maze, Lu Xuan sensed a hint of something wrong.
The two Shi Zhongs who had just rushed in with him had disappeared without a trace, and when his spiritual sense was extended out to probe the surrounding situation, it was still only a few feet away as if it had sunk into the sea.
“I couldn’t see anything unusual outside, I didn’t expect there to be these arrangements after I came in.”
“Just as well, just in time to release myself a little.”
He thought darkly in his heart, and as the spiritual energy in his body surged madly, a delicate and compact jade seal jumped out from the Taobao Bug Sac.
The Sealing Yue Jade Seal rose against the wind, transforming into a jade peak in an instant and smashing into the strange rock that had suddenly transformed into a stone giant palm.
“So fond of slapping things, try slapping you.”
The huge stone palm that was more than half a zhang in length and width was pressed underneath the jade mountain peak intact and shattered into countless pieces. The mountain peak reformed into a delicate jade seal and fell back into Lu Xuan’s hands.
Only a rustling sound could be heard, and the thick pieces of powder all merged into the ground.
Before Lu Xuan could react, a strong wind rang in his ears, and a huge stone man waved a gray and black fist, ruthlessly smashing into Lu Xuan’s head.
Lu Xuan’s palm transformed into a crystalline color, fist to fist, colliding head on with the gray and black stone fist.
He had cultivated the two major body refining techniques, the Glazed Bone Forging Method and the Taixu Dragon Transformation Chapters, and had taken a large number of flesh-enhancing Golden Chalcedony Jade Liquid and Jade Scale Fruit, so the strength of his physical body was already no weaker than that of many third-grade magical artifacts.
Despite the size difference of more than ten times, the defeat is a huge stone man, from the fist all the way to the shoulder, the stone constantly disintegrate and crumble, raining brushes fall.
The huge stone man’s body was about to dissipate, Lu Xuan’s body in front of the sealing Yue jade seal instantly enlarged into a jade mountain peak, directly smashed it into countless pieces.
Lu Xuan then flashed his body and came three feet to the left rear side, smashing a huge stone demonic beast that was in the process of forming.
However, the degree of difficulty of the monstrous stone was still beyond his expectation, one by one, the stone men and stone beasts were resolved by Lu Xuan in a lightning-like manner, and even though they had been shattered beyond recognition, the monstrous stone seemed to be unaffected by it in general, and it quickly reformed itself into new stone men and stone beasts.
“No, going on like this will only be a waste of spiritual energy.”
Lu Xuan stopped and thought in his heart.
“The strange stones keep changing stone people and stone beasts to block my progress, and they also possess extremely strange and powerful healing abilities, staying in the formation and circling around with them is not very effective.”
“Either find the formation eyelet or aura node and directly break the formation, or think of a way to quickly penetrate through it.”
“Trapping more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators …… at the same time is absolutely difficult to do with an ordinary fourth grade formation, if it is a fifth grade, it is by no means this kind of power, there must be a breakage somewhere.”
A crack suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan’s palm, and the crack opened up to reveal a grayish pupil.
Above him, ten feet away, a gray pupil appeared suddenly from the void.
Affected by the prohibition, the moment the pupil appeared it plummeted down, the eyeballs almost falling out of the pupil.
The Void Nightmare Eye was, after all, a fifth-grade treasure, and quickly adapted to the effects of the prohibition on it, and the grayish pupil continuously scanned the surroundings.
In the tiny pupil in Lu Xuan’s palm, the scene seen by the Void Nightmare Eye’s main body appeared.
On the entire deserted island, the stones were like a torrent, automatically rushing towards the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entered the island’s boundaries.
There were very few sightings of strange stones in other places that were off the beaten path.
“So all of them rushed to the cultivators.”
Lu Xuan observed for a moment, choosing a direction with relatively fewer strange rocks and advancing at breakneck speed.
Spiritual Sense could not play much of a role in the Monstrous Rock Maze he then executed the Ground Leader Technique of the Zong Shi Realm, using this one basic technique to feel the changes in the underground rock structure so that he could react in the first instance and not meet the Monstrous Rocks head on.
A moment or so later, Lu Xuan felt his body lighten violently.
“Finally, I’ve gotten out of that rock formation.”
Lu Xuan looked at the distant palace, just in time to see several recluse lights speeding towards the mysterious palace.
Looking at the figures, they should be the ones with the strongest cultivation among the Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Lu Xuan was about to follow and take a look when suddenly, a gray vine drilled out of his sleeve, its tip raised high and nodded in another direction.
“You mean there are high-grade spirit plants there?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
The Demon Ghost Vine Vines nodded, unknowingly secreting gray slime.
“Good, then trust your intuition as an eater.”
