Chapter 173: The Fierce Beast Taotie, Devouring Heaven and Earth, Water Virtue Astrology, and the Might of Huangquan
Although the three Jindan-stage cultivators of the Black Lotus Sect have been dealt with, this does not mean that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye’s mission is accomplished.
Because the real purpose of their coming here is not to deal with Chouniu and others, but to prevent the ferocious beast Taotie from breaking the seal.
Just looking at the red light rising into the sky in the sealed area, Lu Chen really didn't know how to solve it for a moment.
After all, although he knows a lot of things, he has never dabbled in the art of formations.
Fortunately, the Three-legged Golden Crow gave a solution at this time.
"Brother Lu, Sister Mu, there are four four-elephant statues in this sealed land, and these four statues are the core of the formation of the sealed land."
“Although I don’t know what those three demons did, I think the problem must be with these four statues.”
"As long as we can find a way to repair these four statues, we can seal Taotie again."
"And judging from the current situation, part of Taotie's body should have broken out of the seal."
"So in addition to repairing the formation, we also need to deal with these Taotie clones that escaped."
"Otherwise, even if we repair the Four Elephants Statue, we won't be able to seal it completely."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked: "Then how do we repair these four elephant statues?"
The three-legged crow replied, "Leave this to Di Ting. Its nine qi can imitate the power of the fates of other mountain and sea beasts, including the four symbols."
"However, the current Di Ting can only imitate the power of the fate of one mountain and sea beast at a time, and with the help of you outsiders, the power of the fate of the Four Elephants is the highest in the mountain and sea world."
"So Di Ting needs some time to prepare before he can imitate it."
"So during this time, we still need to protect Di Ting and never let it be affected."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell me about your plan."
The Three-legged Golden Crow nodded and said seriously: "In my inherited memory, I have some memories of fighting against Taotie."
"As far as I know, Taotie's fate is to devour the heavens and the earth, which means it can devour all the energy in the world. Therefore, ordinary magic and supernatural powers are of no threat to it."
"Unless your magic can prevent it from swallowing all of it in a short period of time, or unless you have a physique that can crush it, it will be very difficult to defeat it."
“And the blood light that is rising into the sky right now is the result of the gluttonous evil spirit. From this, we can also indirectly see that it should have devoured a lot of the spiritual power of the Mountain and Sea Realm at this time, and its strength has been restored to a certain extent.”
"Sister Mu and I will go look for the escaped Taotie souls and find a way to kill them, and we must do it quickly."
"Because as long as those Taotie clones that escaped devour enough energy, they can directly transform into the Taotie's true form, so we must not give them enough time."
"In addition, Taotie's true body will not be willing to be sealed, so it will definitely try every means to resist. Therefore, it is actually more dangerous to stay in this sealed place."
"I didn't mean to leave the dangerous things to you, Brother Lu, but only you and Di Ting have the ability to repair the Four Symbols Seal in a short time."
"so……"
"It's okay, just do as you say."
Lu Chen stood up and took the initiative to take on the most dangerous part of this seal.
Seeing this scene, Mu Xiaoye on the side said a little worriedly: "Xiao Lu, why don't we wait for other people from the Shanhai Division to come over? After all, I believe that the Shanhai Division has definitely noticed the situation here."
Lu Chen knew that Mu Xiaoye said this not because she was scared, but because she was worried about her own safety.
In response, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will never do anything I'm not sure of. If there is real danger, I won't act recklessly."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoye hesitated to speak.
After all, she didn't really care what the consequences would be if Taotie broke the seal.
She only cared about Lu Chen's safety.
She doesn't care about what is righteous or not, she only cares about the people she cares about.
Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye actually have similar ideas.
But it was just as Lu Chen said, he would never do anything without certainty.
With the talisman of the Spirit Transformation Stage, he was sure to escape unscathed if the situation got out of control.
Therefore, in order to reassure Mu Xiaoye, Lu Chen asked the Three-legged Golden Crow: "Golden Crow, does the Taotie that escaped the seal have the strength to deal with a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage?"
"ah?!"
The three-legged golden crow was stunned.
After a moment, it seemed to have guessed something and answered seriously: "The Spiritual Transformation Stage is already a realm where the body is transformed into the Tao. Naturally, it is not afraid of the Taotie in its prime, but now it has been sealed for a long time, and its strength has fallen to the bottom."
"Plus, the entire mountain and sea world is actually built on the remains of Tai Sui. All mountain and sea beasts living here will be suppressed by the power of Tai Sui, and Taotie is no exception."
“So even if the Taotie’s true body breaks out of the seal, it can only reach the Golden Core stage at best.”
"If a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage attacks it, it will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"Brother Lu, do you have a method comparable to that of the Spiritual Transformation Stage?"
Lu Chen did not answer the question directly, but responded with silence.
But silence is sometimes also an answer.
The Three-legged Golden Crow, who knew all this, looked relieved instantly.
"Then it seems that things will be simple this time. Sister Mu, shall we act quickly?"
Mu Xiaoye glanced at the three-legged golden crow, and then looked at Lu Chen, who had a calm expression.
She nodded seriously, indicating that she would follow the Three-legged Golden Crow's plan.
But before leaving, Mu Xiaoye still said seriously: "Xiao Lu, if there is any danger, leave immediately."
"Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. It is not our turn to step forward yet."
"Don't worry."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoye finally stopped hesitating.
He led the three-legged golden crow and chased in a direction outside the valley.
Because just when she was fighting with Wei Yang.
She noticed some monsters with human faces and sheep bodies, eyes in their armpits, tiger teeth and human claws rushing out of the valley.
But because her attention was all on Wei Yang at the time, she had no energy to care about these guys.
There is no doubt that those monsters should be the clones released by Taotie.
Now she and the Three-legged Golden Crow must get rid of them as soon as possible before these guys devour other spirit beasts to restore their strength.
Otherwise, if we let them run around in the mountain and sea world, it will not be easy to deal with these guys.
However, there were not many of these guys who just ran out, only dozens of them.
Moreover, their strength is also average, and most of them are only in the Qi training stage.
As long as she and the Three-legged Golden Crow are fast enough, they should be able to deal with them quickly.
But this requires them to race against time.
After understanding this, Mu Xiaoye immediately let the three-legged golden crow lead the chase after the escaped Taotie clones.
At the same time, Lu Chen also entered the place where Taotie was sealed.
The difference from the area where he had fought with Chouniu, Wuma and others before was that they were only on the outskirts of the Sealed Valley at that time.
This time, he went directly into the heart of the sealed land.
Just as Lu Chen walked into the core of this sealed land, what came into his sight were the corpses of a large number of Taotie clones.
And a large number of Taotie clones lying on these corpses, constantly devouring other similar corpses.
Seeing this, Lu Chen suddenly realized that Chouniu and others had to stay here all along.
In addition to preventing others from disrupting their plans, they are also limiting the power of Taotie.
After all, they want to release Taotie.
But we dare not let Taotie come out recklessly. We must limit its strength to a certain level so that it will be easier to control.
If you think about it carefully, in the eyes of a ferocious beast like Taotie, all the righteous and evil ways are the same, they are just its food.
It doesn't care who lets it out, it eats whatever it sees! So Chou Niu and others want to make sure the situation doesn't get out of control.
They must strictly control the number of Taotie clones in the valley.
And now the large number of corpses of Taotie clones piled up in the valley were probably done by Chouniu and his men.
However, with the appearance of Lu Chen and others, this balance was undoubtedly broken.
It also ensures that the Taotie clone that appears later will no longer be killed immediately.
As a result, many new Taotie clones ran out, and some even rushed out of the valley directly.
When they saw Lu Chen appear, these Taotie clones all rushed up as if they had seen some delicious food.
[Name: Taotie (Avatar)]
[Cultivation: Qi training stage ~ foundation building stage]
【Fate: Swallowing the Heaven and Earth】
[Description: There is a lot of jade on the Gouwu Mountain, and a lot of copper below. There is a beast there, which looks like a sheep's body with a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and it sounds like a baby. It is called Taotie, and it eats people.]
Seeing dozens of Taotie ranging from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage rushing towards him, Lu Chen snorted coldly.
The next second, a huge black dragon appeared behind Lu Chen.
"roar!"
With a roar from the black dragon, it swept directly towards the Taotie.
And facing the strange black mist surrounding the black dragon.
Not only were these Taotie clones not affected, but they started eating with big mouthfuls.
As the black mist entered the body, some Taotie clones in the Qi training stage began to grow stronger.
The rapid improvement in strength surprised Lu Chen.
However, if it is only at this level, it cannot pose a threat to Lu Chen's Black Dragon.
The black dragon rushed into the group of Taotie, and each attack could take the lives of a large number of Taotie clones.
Soon, the originally dense group of Taotie turned into a pile of corpses on the ground.
But Mo Long did not stop there, but looked somewhere.
In the valley, there were four huge statues of the Four Elephants.
Lu Chen had seen a similar scene at Luocheng No. 1 Middle School.
Among the four statues at this time, the statue symbolizing Xuanwu was not only covered with cracks, but also had the most Taotie clones lying on it and gnawing at it.
Fortunately, this basalt statue seems to have certain countermeasures.
Constantly absorbing the spiritual energy from the ground to maintain the emerald green barrier around the body.
It’s just that Taotie seems to be the natural nemesis of other creatures.
The protective barrier of the basalt statue is no problem at all for these greedy Taotie.
It only takes a few bites to make a notch.
Then he bit off a piece from the Xuanwu statue.
The situation of the other three four-elephant statues is slightly better than that of the Xuanwu statue.
But the good ones are very limited.
Because the bodies of their statues have also been eroded to varying degrees.
If no one intervenes, it will only be a matter of time before they are eaten up by the Taotie clones.
In addition, the place with the most movement in the entire sealed land is the formation area in the center.
In the center of the Four Elephants statue, a crack leading directly to the underground prison appeared in front of Lu Chen.
The crack was not big, only about ten meters wide.
And the power of sealing continues to emerge, trying to fill the crack.
However, the Taotie clones that kept running out from the entrance of the crack prevented the sealing process.
Judging from the tip of the iceberg, what came out now is just the clone of Taotie.
But Lu Chen could already imagine what would happen if the real Taotie escaped from the sealed place.
Locusts like these usually eat whatever they see.
Once these guys are allowed to return to the world, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the entire world.
They are worthy of being the famous four villains, and their reputation is well-deserved.
"Listen, it's time to work."
After Lu Chen gave his instructions, he took a step forward and walked towards the direction of the Xuanwu statue.
The next second, a huge lotus covered the area around the sealed area.
Sword Domain...Haoran Green Lotus! Almost at the same time when Lu Chen used his sword domain, a large number of Taotie clones rushed out from the cracks and rushed towards Lu Chen fearlessly.
In response, Lu Chen didn't even do anything, countless lotus sword energies fell from the sky and pierced through the bodies of these Taotie.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
As sword energy flashed across the sky, the sealed area seemed to have turned into a huge meat grinder.
A large number of Taotie clones die every minute and every second.
Not only that, the spiritual power of these Taotie after their death will be fed back into Lu Chen's sword domain to make up for Lu Chen's consumption.
Although the Taotie clones fell down like wheat one after another, they seemed vulnerable.
But the expression on Lu Chen's face did not relax at all.
Because he could feel that there seemed to be some existence in the crack that was constantly plundering the surrounding spiritual energy in a devouring manner.
Even Lu Chen, who possessed the immortal lotus embryo, could not completely prevent this.
It can only be suppressed with the power of the sword domain to reduce the speed at which it absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
There is no doubt that the one that devoured the spiritual power of heaven and earth was the Taotie itself.
Perhaps he sensed that Lu Chen was in trouble.
An angry roar was heard from the cracked underground prison.
Click, click…
Soon, a heart-pounding chewing sound came from the underground prison under the crack.
It seems like something is constantly gnawing at it.
Soon, a pair of huge claws stretched out from the crack.
When the claw touched the sealing power around the crack, it immediately made a sizzling sound like frying.
Not long after, Lu Chen saw a huge monster barely opening the crack, revealing half of its body.
As soon as this monster appeared, a terrifying pressure spread throughout the place.
Even though Lu Chen was a veteran of many battles, he still felt the terrifying pressure from this monster.
Because this monster is the true form of Taotie.
Seeing this, Lu Chen knew that he had to get serious.
Because the real body of Taotie is not one of those clones that can be easily dealt with.
It is a real ancient ferocious beast.
Moreover, Taotie and those who walk in the mountains and seas are not restricted by any oaths of heaven, and can only fight with the same level of cultivation as them.
At this time, the Taotie's body has reached the perfection of the foundation-building stage.
As long as some time passes, you will be able to reach the Golden Core Stage.
If it really reaches the Jindan stage, Lu Chen will not be completely sure that he can defeat it.
Unless you use the precious talisman of the God Transformation Stage.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Di Ting beside him with a serious face: "I will try my best to buy you some time, you should repair the formation as soon as possible."
"clear!"
Di Ting also knew the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately rushed towards the nearest four-elephant statue.
Seeing this scene, Taotie immediately opened his mouth.
The next second, a terrifying blood-red energy ball gathered in its mouth.
And shot towards Di Ting.
But before this terrifying blood-red energy ball hit Di Ting, Lu Chen had already stood in front of Di Ting.
Then, a huge blue star appeared behind Lu Chen.
The five elements of the constellation...water!
The special thing about the Water Virtue constellation is that it can give Lu Chen a terrifying spiritual power recovery speed.
But this is just general astrology.
You should know that before Lu Chen established his foundation, all the five elements underwent qualitative changes.
Therefore, his astrological power actually has a qualitative change form.
The Water Virtue astrology corresponds to the original "Forget River Curse".
That is...the power of the underworld.
A breath of death was released from Lu Chen.
The huge water star immediately turned into khaki color.
Not only that, the flesh and blood on Xingxiang's face began to fall off and soon turned into a half-skeleton.
Facing the blood-red energy ball released by the Taotie's body, the white bone star simply raised his hand.
The next second, a stream of Yellow Spring water rushed up into the sky and directly swallowed up the Taotie's blood-red energy ball without causing any movement.
It's as if nothing happened.
Taotie seemed a little surprised by this, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he didn't understand what was going on.
Lu Chen stood under the Water Virtue Astrology, Huang Quan, and calmly explained: "Huang Quan, which can accommodate thousands of souls, can naturally accommodate your greed... right?"
