Crash! After halting his decline, Lu Xiaotian leaped out of the magma. For thousands of miles in every direction, the ground was now riddled with cracks, like a series of hideous wounds ripped open across the earth. Vast amounts of lava, carrying tongues of flame, bubbled out from within. At the same time, the Misty Flying Sword flew free of his body. He had gone to considerable trouble to establish the truth that the Misty Flying Sword belonged to another mysterious sword cultivator at the Integrated Body Late Stage in the Scarlet Moon Desert. How could Lu Xiaotian now let anyone discover that it was actually one of his avatars?
Blood-gang power surged, blasting all the magma from his body. Lu Xiaotian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The gray python had fought back with utter desperation, and Lu Xiaotian had suffered some injuries. However, after the blood-colored beast was torn apart by the gray python, the python had gone on to break through Lu Xiaotian's Buddhist Domain divine ability, only to be blocked by his Five Elements Magnetic Armor. By then, most of its force had been dispelled. Even so, Lu Xiaotian's formidable body had still sustained some damage. That showed just how fearsome the gray python was. Even Lu Xiaotian would have been badly hurt by that blow if he hadn't used the Soul Fusion Art to conjure the beast beforehand.
After all, the blood-colored beast had been formed primarily from the Primordial Spirits of two old demons at the Integrated Body Late Stage. Its combat strength, at least for a short time, had even surpassed the likes of Master Mo Yan and the Ice-Crowned Crocodile Demon.
Lu Xiaotian had paid a small price to obtain the Earth Demon Blood Filth. His gaze turned grave.
