With the Lotus Avatar's understanding of his true body, Lu Xiaotian would rather shatter like jade than remain whole like a clay tile. He would never truly rely on the Danzhu Buddhist Sect. If Ye Qianxun pushed him too far, there was an eight-in-ten chance he would activate the Earthfire Scorching Moon Formation to its maximum power. What consequences that might trigger made the Lotus Avatar shudder from head to toe just thinking about it.
The Lotus Avatar searched aimlessly through the void. Earlier, Lu Xiaotian's true body had blocked Ye Qianxun and, exerting all his strength, sent the Lotus Avatar and Mo Yuyan into the Chigang Heaven Mahayana Realm. He had later used the Earthfire Scorching Moon Formation to contend with Ye Qianxun for some time, so they were actually relatively close to the node of the Chigang Heaven Mahayana Realm.
That body-cultivating eminent monk Kong Jie had been unable to find a way in. When the Lotus Avatar emerged from the Chigang Heaven Mahayana Realm, he had in fact already entered the ruined stretch of space where Ye Qianxun and Lu Xiaotian's true body were.
At that moment, Lu Xiaotian's true body was indeed in an extremely dire situation. After using the Vermilion Bird Nirvana Seal, he had nearly exhausted the high-grade demon blood within him, and was struggling against the relatively weak tearing and compressive force of space. At the same time, under the impact and tempering of large amounts of crystal-devouring fragments and void astral sand, Lu Xiaotian's physical body was being forged through countless cycles of injury and recovery.
Even so, Lu Xiaotian's situation could by no means be considered good. During the void storm just now, the torn space had been like a dense mass of wind blades, slashing over in chaotic, disordered bursts.
