The Great Sage Equaling Heaven Big Black Bull Ox, possessed a magnificent aura and an extremely arrogant demeanor. With a few punches and kicks, he unleashed bursts of wind and thunder, like crashing waves, triggering a tsunami that sent several Evolver from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Earth Carefree Realm flying.
"Are you truly unable to understand nonsense? This precious pearl shall belong to the virtuous!"
"Damn it! What kind of Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Earth this! You bull demon are truly arrogant. If you have the guts, fight the three of us brothers one-on-one!"
Big Black Bull sneered, "Who do you think you are! Get out of my way!"
The Big Black Bull was not provoked at all; he wanted to get the pearl first.
The Big Black Bull was extremely strong individually. Even five or six Peak Carefree Realm would find it difficult to stop Big Black Bull in one go. In addition, some powerful figures started to hold back, so the Big Black Bull could easily seize the treasure.
"Hahaha... bro, got it!"
"Good job, Brother Niu. Now we can rest assured about the water quality."
Those powerful Carefree Realm who had been injured by the Big Black Bull were now extremely pale-faced, and they were exchanging words among themselves.
"Are you really going to let these guys run rampant? If we don't unite, we can forget about getting our hands on the treasures later! Can't you even see the situation now?!"
Dao Lord Longxin of Nine Dragons Mountain transmitted his voice, saying, "Everyone, this fellow Daoist is right. Those three who claim to be Great Sage are not easy to deal with. We really cannot afford to continue this internal strife."
" Dao Lord Longxin, in your opinion, how should we confront them? To put it bluntly, you and I can only hold off two Human Clan holy land palace masters on our own. As for the three beings who call themselves saints, I'm afraid they will be extremely difficult to deal with. Even if the two of us join forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold them off."
"If two can't hold them off, then three will! We currently have a numerical advantage! With seniors like Dao Lord Longxin, three or even four can hold off the three saints, while the rest can be divided and held off separately."
The Daoist Hun of Green Hill Mountain transmitted his voice, saying, "The opponents are all at the Peak Carefree Realm and Unfettered Realm. The Biyou Palace Master and the Palace Master of the Eight Sceneries Palace are extremely difficult to deal with. The Immortal in Wine is not so great, but that flower demon and that foreign Evolver are not easy to deal with either. We will need at least two Carefree Realm Evolver to hold them off. As a result, the number of people is a bit tricky. Besides, some of our people were injured by that bull demon earlier."
"For the next round, let's just pretend and not fight over anything. Injured fellow Daoists, heal your wounds first. When we do move, let's follow the joint commands of Fellow Daoists Longxin, Kongming, Hun, East Sea."
"Good!"
At this moment, the Big Black Bull glanced at Dao Lord Longxin, then turned to Xiao Tian and transmitted his voice, "These guys are plotting something. We should just cripple a few of them in the next wave."
" Brother Niu, no rush. Let them have some fun first, then deliver a crushing blow to their despair."
"Brother, your insight is brilliant!"
At this moment, amidst the rain of swords and thunder not far from here, the Black Peng King discovered Xiao Tian and the others.
"What a coincidence! I keep running into this guy everywhere I go!"
Black Peng King truly wanted to kill Xiao Tian, the protagonist of the Primordial Hongmeng Plan, immediately, but considering the examples of several fools who had gone before, and the fact that Xiao Tian had already reached the Visualization Realm, he had to be more cautious.
"It seems those Evolver are extremely xenophobic towards Xiao Tian and his group." Black Peng King observed the situation and suddenly had an idea.
The sixth wave has broken out!
The rich spiritual energy swirled like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and a blood lotus, appearing from the void and radiating a mysterious spiritual light, attracted the attention of countless people.
"Such a rich aura of blood essence! If consumed, it could help one break through to the Visualization Realm!" Dao Lord Longxin's eyes narrowed.
"Should we take this?" someone from the group of Evolver asked.
"Let's not take it for now. There's only one, so we don't know how to distribute it. Just making things difficult for them is enough!"
As Dao Lord Longxin, Saber Immortal Kongming, and Daoist Hun relayed the information, the various Evolver understood and took action, all determined to seize the Blood Lotus.
"Brother, this blood lotus is very nourishing. Are we really not going to take it this time?"
"No, let's give them a taste of success, and also sow seeds of discord among them. After all, there's only one Blood Lotus, and those proud and arrogant individuals certainly won't be satisfied with the distribution."
That makes sense.
Big Black Bull, Xuanlong, and the others still made their move.
However, following Xiao Tian's instructions, they released a massive amount of water, feigning anger, and watched as Dao Lord Longxin of Nine Dragons Mountain took away the Blood Lotus.
With the protection of several peak-level Evolver at the Peak Carefree Realm, Blood Lotus Dao Lord Longxin successfully escaped the attack range of Big Black Bull and his companions.
"This is a great victory! It's exhilarating!"
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Longxin, your hand speed is too fast; you snatched the treasure first."
"In my opinion, we should allocate this Blood Lotus to Dao Lord Longxin. Do you all agree?" Daoist Hun suggested via telepathy.
"Good!"
However, there weren't many voices agreeing with this.
After thinking for a moment, Dao Lord Longxin transmitted his voice to Human Path, "Everyone, I will temporarily take control of this treasure. After this matter is over, how about we decide on the allocation based on our merits in fighting against the Three Saints?"
Dao Lord Longxin's suggestion was quite appropriate and received the approval of many interested people.
The Big Black Bull kept his eyes fixed on the Evolver Evolver, and when he saw that they were actually in turmoil, he couldn't help but frown.
"Brother, it seems your plan has failed."
Xiao Tian, however, did not think so; the seeds of future trouble had already been sown.
" Brother Niu, let's see what the next wave is. If we don't need it, let them have it."
"Good."
Moments later, the seventh wave began!
A misty aura filled the air; it was a pill the size of a longan, shimmering with brilliant golden light!
"It's actually a elixir!" The powerful beings of the Carefree Realm were utterly astonished.
"In that case, the point where the spiritual energy vortex connects is very likely the cave dwelling of a powerful being!"
Many people pondered this deeply, and the moment the elixir appeared, they all transformed into beams of light and rushed out to seize it.
Following Xiao Tian's instructions, Big Black Bull, Xuanlong, Biyou Fairy, Tianxuzi, and others continued to release massive amounts of water, allowing the anti-saint Evolver group to obtain it.
However, to avoid his acting skills being compromised, Big Black Bull continued to injure the two Evolver from the Carefree Realm.
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Hun! This technique of absorption is truly divine! Judging from the bull demon's furious appearance, he is clearly enraged."
Although Daoist Hun was overjoyed to have obtained the elixir, he instinctively felt that something was wrong with Big Black Bull and his gang.
"Although the bull demon Teuchi two of them this time, judging from the appearance of the others, they were clearly powerless, perhaps this group is not very stable."
Daoist Hun shared his conjecture with everyone.
Everyone who heard this thought it made a lot of sense.
"I can confirm that the foreigner is definitely not one of these people, and the flower demon's eyes are full of fear when it looks at its companions. Perhaps it was forcibly dragged into the group. And perhaps the Biyou Palace Master and the Palace Master of the Eight Sceneries Palace are not truly getting along well with that self-proclaimed Three Saints."
"Indeed, as the palace masters of the Three Great Sage Lands, they are arrogant. The one who calls himself one of the three saints has an unknown origin and is only respected because of his strength. Perhaps we can try to win him over." Saber Immortal Kongming glanced at Xiao Tian out of the corner of his eye, his heart filled with anger.
His treasured sword was taken away, which reduced his combat strength. Although he had a spare spirit sword, it was far inferior to the handy Void Blade he had before.
After all, it was a divine weapon that had been with him for over two hundred years and had been enchanted many times!
The Saber Immortal Kongming vowed to reclaim his treasured blade!
"Gentlemen, how about the distribution of the elixirs, following Fellow Daoist Longxin's previous proposal?" Although Daoist Hun coveted the elixirs in his possession, he knew that now was not the time to become the target of everyone's criticism.
"Good!"
At this time, the Black Peng King secretly replaced the Crown Prince with a raccoon dog and infiltrated the group of Evolver.
The identity he was disguising was of average strength, only at the Late Carefree Realm, in order to avoid being discovered.
After all, people at this level are good at probing souls, mastering memories, and disguising themselves.
After a long while, the eighth wave began!
Vibrant, lifelike spiritual leaves flew out from the spiritual energy. There were thirteen leaves in total, each containing extremely dense and terrifying energy. The patterns on the surface of the leaves were unique, like Feng Huang soaring, and they emitted specks of fiery light.
"It's actually Phoenix Blood Grass! And so many pieces!" The Holy Soul Medicine Immortal recognized it, his eyes burning with greed.
Phoenix blood, a legendary substance, was a rare find even in an era rich in spiritual energy.
After all, species like the phoenix have naturally powerful genes, and one must possess great strength to obtain their blood.
In this day and age, species with the Phoenix Blood One are extremely rare and practically impossible to find.
"It is said that this Phoenix Blood Grass has the miraculous effect of breaking through and rising again, of being reborn from the ashes! It is specially used for powerful individuals who are on the verge of death. Once the rebirth is successful, their cultivation level will be greatly improved, and they will possess phoenix blood within their bodies, thus undergoing a species evolution!"
The popular science explanation by Dao Lord Longxin has made even more people in the Carefree Realm greedy!
Thirteen leaves—enough for quite a few people to share!
" The Phoenix Blood Leaf belongs to the virtuous! This piece is mine!" The red-haired old man laughed, and a gourd in his hand burst forth with a mysterious light of absorption.
At this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly appeared, interrupting his spellcasting.
"Old man, you can't put this in your precious things, lest you ruin them."
As Xiao Tian spoke, he swiftly took away the Phoenix Blood Leaf.
The red-haired old man was furious and jumped up and down.
However, because Xiao Tian was too strong, the red-haired old man wisely refrained from causing trouble and continued searching for the Phoenix Blood Leaf.
This time, Xiao Tian and his group didn't hold back and forcefully seized the Phoenix Blood Leaf. Xuanlong and Big Black Bull were extremely ruthless, directly targeting those who had just taken the Phoenix Blood Leaf and giving them a brutal beating.
The Black Peng King, disguised as Evolver, was discreetly maneuvering on the fringes. He was very cautious and did not want to expose himself without absolute certainty.
Its purpose was simple: to observe Xiao Tian's behavior, abilities, and methods.
Of the thirteen Phoenix Blood Leaf, seven were ultimately obtained by Xiao Tian's side.
Four members of the group of Evolver also suffered extremely serious injuries, three of whom were at the Peak Carefree Realm.
Seeing this, the powerful figures like Dao Lord Longxin realized that Xiao Tian and his group had been holding back during the previous two outbursts, and that if the two sides really fought, Xiao Tian's chances of winning would not be high.
"Gentlemen, I'm afraid we can't afford to delay any longer. If this continues for a few more waves, our fighting strength will be severely weakened, and we'll have no chance of defeating that group," Daoist Hun said.
Dao Lord Longxin transmitted his voice, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hun is right, but the next wave is not the time for a full-scale war. We need to buy time now to help you recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Therefore, we cannot be stingy. I have a bottle of Rejuvenation Life Pill on hand. Please distribute them among yourselves and heal your wounds as quickly as possible."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Seeing the Evolver healing their wounds, Xuanlong couldn't help but transmit his voice to Xiao Tian, saying, "Master, it seems these people can't wait any longer."
"Brother, how about we give them a really tougher beating next time and show them who's in charge here!" Big Black Bull clenched his fists, his eyes sharp as he scanned Dao Lord Longxin, Daoist Hun, and the others.
"Goodbye, this spiritual energy vortex might not last much longer. Judging from the previous spiritual pills, the point where the vortex connects is a hidden treasure land of a powerful being. That would be valuable. These people need to be alive."
Big Black Bull understood and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The Big Black Bull's laughter made Dao Lord Longxin, Daoist Hun, and the others feel somewhat uneasy.
"These guys are probably discussing something too. We need to be careful with our next move! If there aren't many treasures, we should just give up and avoid further casualties."
"Fellow Daoist Longxin is absolutely right."
Daoist Hun transmitted his voice, "Let's continue to arrange the distribution of combat forces. That bull demon, that dragon demon, and that kid whose strength is no less than theirs—these three saints cannot be underestimated. As for the Palace Master of Biyou Palace Master and the Palace Master of the Eight Sceneries Palace, I can use personal connections to smooth things over. The previous palace masters of these two holy lands had some relationship with my master back then, so we can give it a try."
"Fellow Daoist Soul's suggestion is good. We still need to try to internally dismantle the other party for now."
In a short time, both the Biyou Palace Master and the Palace Master of the Eight Sceneries Palace were secretly contacted by some bigwigs from famous mountains and scenic spots.
Biyou and Taixuzi had already been persuaded by Xiao Tian, and they both knew which side they should stand on.
"These three are extremely vicious and act on impulse. Although they are not demons, they are even more demonic than demons. You can consider them if you are confident in your abilities." Tianxuzi feigned an alliance.
"Palace Master, do you know anything about these three's hidden methods? We could be on guard in advance."
Tianxuzi quickly made up a few things to fool people for now.
Biyou Fairy managed to fool a few people as well. She sighed inwardly, thinking that this was the year with the most lies in the past two or three hundred years.
She glanced at Xiao Tian, who seemed to be secretly plotting with the Big Black Bull Xuanlong, and was genuinely curious about what other methods Xiao Tian had to deal with Dao Lord Longxin and the others.
The ninth wave has begun!
Amidst the dense spiritual energy, a humanoid phantom appeared, leaving people astonished upon seeing it clearly.
"How could it be just one person!"
Dao Lord Longxin's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but say, "Quickly, dodge!"
The living being's eyes burst forth with a dazzling red light, and terrifying energy spread in all directions like a tidal wave.
boom!
This is far more terrifying than the Muhai bomb! The sound is deafening!
The nearby Late Carefree Realm had no time to resist and were caught in the blast wave, dying instantly on the spot!
The two unfortunate Peak Carefree Realm, whose injuries had not yet healed, escaped, but were on the verge of death, barely clinging to life, with parts of their limbs blasted away, a truly pitiful sight.
No one could have imagined that something like this would suddenly emerge from the vortex of spiritual energy!
"That was awesome, bro! Hahaha!" Big Black Bull couldn't help but laugh out loud, mocking the unlucky guys.
"Luckily we hid far away, but this was too insidious." The Immortal in Wine trembled.
"Now, they probably won't be able to contend with us; many powerful figures have been killed or wounded."
"Hehehe... I love the personality of the original owner of this treasure trove. You all tried to steal the treasure, now you're scared, aren't you?"
Big Black Bull laughed loudly, "I really hope the next wave will be self-destructing puppets at the Visualization Realm, that would be truly interesting."
" Brother Niu, you know what, it might actually be true."
At this moment, the Black Peng King was in a sorry state. It hadn't expected that the spiritual energy vortex here would be so unethical, actually causing an explosion!
Its energy was completely drawn to Xiao Tian, and although it didn't get too close, its clothes were still ruined.
"Damn it! I didn't prepare any clothes. If I conjure them up now, I'm afraid I'll be discovered!"
Black Peng King felt ashamed and hid by the edge. At that moment, he noticed a large crater that had been blasted out and jumped straight into it.
"Fellow Daoist, the explosion is over, you don't need to be nervous anymore." Daoist Hun saw the Black Peng King and couldn't help but kindly remind him.
The Black Peng King was furious. Was it nervous? No, it had no clothes to wear!
"Fellow Daoist, are you injured? I have some healing medicine here; please take it."
The medicine bottle was thrown down, but Black Peng King didn't pick it up.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. However, I am not injured, but..."
When Daoist Hun saw that the fellow Daoist was somewhat embarrassed and protective of his body, he understood what was going on.
"Fellow Daoist, do you not have any spare clothes? Allow me to look for some; I wonder if they would fit you?"
Afterwards, the Black Peng King, now dressed in oversized clothes, breathed a sigh of relief. Although this wasn't its true form, a sense of shame was still inevitable.
It glanced at Daoist Hun and decided to spare the boy this time, considering his help in the subsequent demonization operation.
The previous explosion made the Evolver present very wary, keeping their distance.
boom!
The tenth wave has broken out!
Upon seeing the humanoid phantom, people recalled the horrific scene from before!
"Run!"
The Evolver quickly retreated, mobilizing their internal energy and employing various supernatural abilities to prepare countermeasures.
The humanoid puppet that appeared had bloodthirsty, cold eyes, and its entire body erupted with dazzling light.
"Hahaha... What a pity, this explosion won't have much of an effect." Big Black Bull felt a little disappointed.
" Brother Niu, it's our turn to make a move. This guy doesn't seem to have exploded yet, so let's take him in; he'll be useful as a security guard."
"Is that okay?" Big Black Bull was shocked by Xiao Tian's crazy idea.
"Here we go." Xiao Tian dashed ahead, appearing in front of the humanoid puppet in the blink of an eye.
boom!
The puppet reacted quickly, its hand flashing with dazzling energy as it blasted towards Xiao Tian.
"Hehehe... Can't hit me! Aren't you annoyed!?"
Xiao Tian dodged and appeared behind the puppet.
Suddenly, a mechanism appeared on the back of his head, revealing a cannon muzzle that unleashed blinding energy.
Xiao Tian dodged in time, but the terrifying energy still affected the unfortunate Daoist Hun and others.
Daoist Hun, confident in his strength, used his Immortal Spirit Escape to dodge in time, but the two nearby Evolver were not so lucky, and were hit squarely, screaming in agony.
"Haha... bro, I'm here to help you!"
The Big Black Bull moved through the void, its demonic aura Tongtian. With the air of a supreme demon king, it unleashed a punch that stirred up wind and thunder, shaking the heavens.
boom!
The energy beam from the humanoid puppet was blasted out, but it was shattered by the Big Black Bull.
Only then did Daoist Hun and Dao Lord Longxin realize just how terrifying the Big Black Bull truly was!
" Half-Step Visualization Realm?" They were horrified.
