Chapter 1066: Past Battles
iaotian to retrieve the necessary items from the East Sea Dragon Palace before he could start refining the elixir. At this time, he could only temporarily prevent the Erosion Devouring Demon Qi in Xue...However, the three snake demons were after all great demon cultivators. They had simply exhausted most of their power because they were trapped in the ancient Yue's Cave Mansion's restrictions for too long. In addition, the restrictions within the mansion had been maintained for too long and were repeatedly damaged by generations of treasure-seeking cultivators.
Lu Xia Tian and his group were also fortunate enough to catch a good break. Had it not been for the weakening of the restriction, they might have ended up like those three snake demons, trapped within the formation for countless years.
The three snake demons possessed immense magical powers. Even though their strength hadn't fully recovered, they fought valiantly against four opponents, injuring Qiao Lan, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast, and Luo Qian successively. This was also the first time Lu Xia Tian had unleashed his full power since entering the Nascent Soul stage. With the Blood Cauldron Refining Demon Array deployed, his strength reached unprecedented levels.
The battle between the two sides caused magical ripples to surge for hundreds of miles, creating astonishing celestial phenomena. At one point, two tenth-order demonic beasts passed by, startled and fleeing in alarm, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. They were innocent victims caught in the chaos.
Both sides fought for a day and night, and finally, Luo Qian, Qiao Lan, and the eight-legged demon bull beast were seriously injured, their magical powers almost depleted. Lu Xia Tian, as the main force against the three-headed snake demon, was in no better shape. As a powerful demon, the three-headed snake demon had a distinct advantage over cultivators of lower realms in terms of both the purity of its demonic power and its recovery speed.
The Blood Ding Refining Demon Array was almost destroyed by the three snake demons due to the depletion of Yuan Ying's power. Lu Xia Tian barely managed to retract the Blood Ding pillar.
Lu Xiaoteng's Purple Flame Escape Technique was used up, and he was struck by the three snake demons' Biqiong Demon Breath. His right arm turned into ashes on the spot. Ordinary mana couldn't stop the power of the demon breath from spreading throughout his body. In the end, Lu Xiaoteng mobilized a cluster of Brahma True Fire to block the Biqiong Demon Breath at the severed limb. Otherwise, Lu Xiaoteng would have been killed by the demon breath at this moment.
Lu Xia Tian was struck by Biqiong's demonic energy, severely injured. Taking advantage of the situation, the three snake demons attacked, a sinister flying needle aimed at Lu Xia Tian's forehead.
Lu Xia Tian had just suffered a heavy blow and was utterly helpless. This was also the closest Lu Xia Tian had ever been to death. The Purple Firmament Fire Escape Technique was also exhausted from overuse and could not be used again in the short term.

...the deputy primordial spirit watched helplessly as the flying needle drew closer and closer to its brow. Although his Ru Yi battle armor remained intact, it couldn't withstand the power of the flying needle. The meager remaining magical energy within him was simply not enough to fully activate the armor's defensive capabilities.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed. At the critical juncture, Luo Qian once again used his Thunder Escape technique, shielding Lu Xiaottian's body. The thunder spear struck the flying needle with full force.
Finally, the thunder spear shattered into countless pieces. Luo Qian's right arm holding the gun was pierced by the flying needles in one fell swoop, exploding into countless shreds of flesh.

However, luckily the first target of the three snake demons was Lu Xia Tian, otherwise Luo Qian would have been killed at this moment.
The flying needle continued to shoot toward Lu Xiaotian, hitting his forehead directly. After Luo Qian intercepted it, the power of the flying needle greatly diminished. Although it shook Lu Xiaotian's seven orifices bleeding and his Ruyi Battle Armor's spirituality was significantly reduced, it did not penetrate. It was just a sinister demonic force that still seeped into his body.
The might of the great demon, Lu Xia Tian felt it deeply in this battle. This was still when the three-headed snake demon's strength was greatly diminished, not at its peak. If it were at its prime, even if Lu Xia Tian and several others joined forces, they would probably not be its opponent.
Under the grievous injuries, Lu Xia Tian was powerless to fight any longer. He stubbornly stayed put, determined that everyone must die. Bi Qiong's demon essence relentlessly invaded his body from the severed arm wound. Coupled with the needle in his forehead, the pure magical power of the Great Fairy infiltrated his system. As Lu Xia Tian struggled to mobilize his remaining mana, he felt a piercing sensation throughout his body as if being pricked by needles.
At last, Lu Xia Tian transmitted a sound to the Eight-Footed Demon Bull Beast and Qiao Lan, asking them to take away the severely injured Luo Qian who was unconscious. He then sacrificed his Bat King Wings and single-handedly led away the three Snake Demons.
The Three-Headed Serpent Demon unleashed its formidable power, facing off against four adversaries. Especially with Lu Xia Tian employing the Blood Cauldron Refining Devil Array, his combat prowess was terrifying even amongst those in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. After all, the Three-Headed Serpent Demon's strength was far inferior to its prime. When it broke through the Blood Cauldron Refining Devil Array, it was wounded by Lu Xia Tian's Seventh Grade Pagoda. Furthermore, within the Brahma Lotus Holy Fire surrounding the Seventh Grade Pagoda, that hidden Brahma True Flame was fiercely suppressing it.

Though the three snake demons were filled with hatred for Lu Xia Tian, they were also creatures that valued their lives. If they let their injuries fester, their strength would plummet to a point where even tenth-order monsters could threaten them.
To make matters worse, in their wounded state, it was impossible for them to recover to their former glory. This was simply unacceptable for the three snake demons. Furthermore, although Lu Xia Tian's strength had plummeted to a point even weaker than a Jindan cultivator, his pair of bat king wings on his back were surprisingly fast. Given their injuries, they wouldn't be able to catch up to Lu Xia Tian anytime soon.
Within this secret realm, one would occasionally encounter other human cultivators at the Yuan Ying stage seeking treasures, or even demon cultivators and Ghost King realm powerhouses. Thinking it over, the three snake demons hated Lu Xiaoteng with a burning passion. They wished to kill him immediately, but seeing that they couldn't catch up to Lu Xiaoteng for the time being, and they themselves were badly injured, with the Brahma Fire within them needing to be suppressed as soon as possible...
After much deliberation, the three snake demons glared hatefully at Lu XiaTian, who was now covered in blood, before finally turning and leaving.
Seeing the three snake demons turn and flee, Lu Xia Tian, who was severely injured, let out a sigh of relief. He was then attacked by several Golden Core level demon birds. Lu Xia Tian relied on the Bat King's Wings to quickly shake off their pursuit. At this time, Lu Xia Tian had no destination in mind, he just wanted to find a quiet place to recuperate. But as fate would have it, there was not much of the ten-tiered monster essence blood needed for the Bat King's Wings left.
At this time, Lu Xia Tian only walked towards places where spiritual energy was relatively scarce. The more abundant the spiritual energy, the more heavenly and earthly treasures it nourished, and the more powerful the monsters became. Later, he entered a vast mountain range where strong winds howled. He felt a tremor in the world, as if he had left the original secret realm.
At this time, they encountered another group of six treasure-seeking cultivators, four men and two women. Seeing that Lu Xia Tian was severely injured, almost in a coma. Looking at the pair of dharma wings on Lu Xia Tian's back, their eyes lit up, feeling as if they had found a big fish. Fortunately, these six people did not have a late Jindan stage strongman, only one Jindan mid-stage leader, and the rest were all Jindan early stages.
At this time, Lu Xiaoteng's own combat power was almost non-existent, and the Huolun Phantom Spirit, which did not require mana consumption, was also destroyed in a battle with three snake demons. A group of Jindan cultivators approached Lu Xiaoteng greedily and fearfully, appearing extremely respectful, but how could their greed be concealed from Lu Xiaoteng's perception
Lu Xia Tian didn't have time to waste with this group of people. Fortunately, when he was in the Golden Core stage, he had collected a Golden Core-level puppet. In his hand was a ninth-rank Ox-Head Giant puppet whose combat power was on par with a peak Golden Core expert, far surpassing ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivators. As for those at the initial stage of the Golden Core, they were simply no match. The Ox-Head Giant puppet slaughtered two of them in three or five moves, seriously injuring another Golden Core cultivator at the initial stage. The rest were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts.t hand, grasping at the void. His hand seemed to form a vortex, and the sword intent of the lotus avatar was swallowed into it without causing much disturbance, as if completely absorbed.“With an atta...
