st seven years, Lu Xia Tian, with such mediocre aptitude, would rise from the sixth level of Qi Refinement to the peak. Such a terrifying cultivation speed, he had only seen it in those prodigies or t...As the two people's essence and blood merged within the Bat Dragon Blood Lotus, a roar of a dragon mixed with the cry of a bat shook the air.

Bat Dragon Blood Ling is a rare treasure in the world, its rarity second only to the seven-color source thunder dragon crystal. In critical moments, it can indeed exert extraordinary effects.

However, the conditions for use are extremely harsh, requiring both a member of the Bat Clan and a Dragon Clan powerhouse to simultaneously activate it with their essence blood. Under this object's influence, the two types of essence blood merge together, greatly boosting the combat power of both parties.

As for how much they can actually trigger, it depends on the strength and potential of both parties. However, after the battle, both will fall into a period of weakness.

The beauty Yan Ji, having cultivated within the Qingguo Boundary and obtained the Seven-Colored Origin Thunder Dragon Crystal, has seen her cultivation skyrocket. Her progress is so rapid that she seems poised to rival even powerful figures like the Immortal Jun Yu Hua.

Lu Xia Tian, on the other hand, had inherited numerous schools of cultivation. His mastery over the power of laws was vast. As a descendant of the dragon clan, his understanding of bloodline law had surpassed everyone's imagination. When activated in this way, its power was even more astonishing.

Lu XiaTian and Yan Ji each raised their hands to strike a palm against the other. The two vastly different energies converged through Bat Dragon Blood Ling, suddenly rising to a new level.

The beautiful woman's long, curved blade swept across in a single arc, while Lu Xiaoteng wielded his sky-painting halberd and charged towards the other side.

All around, countless sword shadows slashed towards them. However, after Land Xia Tian and Yan Ji's combat strength had been enhanced again, they already had the strength to stand on equal footing with Kong Rong.

Here's the text translated into English:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Kong Rong's seven avatars also had solemn expressions, and at the same time they waved their swords down. The surrounding space couldn't withstand these terrifying forces and instantly tore open several openings.

Even Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu Monk looked solemn, though they could probably survive being alone in this turbulence of battle energy, they would undoubtedly be quite embarrassed.

Under normal circumstances, they were reluctant to get too close. Only the mindless throngs of void beasts, oblivious to life and death, suffered heavy casualties in the chaotic waves. The enemy still charged forward with unrestrained glee.

However, the strength of the opponent they were facing at this moment was too powerful. It wasn't just that attacking Lu Xia Tian and the others was difficult; even getting close to them was a huge challenge.

Once you get close to the area of combat, the chaotic blades and swords will tear you apart directly.

The previous fifty or sixty thousand imaginary beasts, under repeated turmoil, were no longer less than thirty thousand. For Lu Xia Tian, it was already not enough to look at. At this time, everyone's attention was on the opponent.

Roar! The gigantic azure dragon phantom started to take on a heavy crimson hue, and the black bat was no different. With every increase in blood-red intensity, its power surged higher.

>

The combined might of the two shocked even Kong Rong, causing his complexion to change drastically. While their strength hadn't yet surpassed his control, it was already trending towards a threatening level.

It absolutely cannot be allowed to develop further, otherwise, given the potential of these two, he fears this battle will truly result in his downfall.

Kong Rong, the old monster, roared angrily. With his palms slightly cupped, a sphere appeared in his hands. The sword intent nurtured within that orb was terrifying.

Lu Xiaitian and Yanji both jumped in surprise. They had both used the power of the Bat Dragon Blood Ling, boosting their strength significantly. It seemed they were on par with Kong Rong Lao Gui, but even when this monster fought with his life, he still easily held them down.

From the moment they were surrounded by the seven avatars of Kong Rong Monster, the initiative had been entirely in Kong Rong Monster's hands. If he and Yan Ji wanted to fight, they had to comply with his wishes.

At this time, the old monster wanted to achieve his goal in one fell swoop. Lu Xia Tian and the others had no possibility of avoiding it. Even besides a head-on confrontation, there was not much they could do to dodge.

Otherwise, behind them would be Ji Ting and Lan Yun Zhu Seng. If the two of them escaped with Yanji, in this dangerous situation, Ji Ting and Lan Yun Zhu Seng would probably fall at least one.

Lu Xia Tian and Yan Ji were not the kind of people who would sacrifice themselves for others, but they also understood that retreating for a moment would only make the situation worse.

A line of four men were also filled with inner pride. Since a formidable enemy had pressed in, they would rather face the challenge head-on. They'd rather suffer defeat than be chased and killed like bereaved dogs. The beautiful woman, Qingxiao, let out a sharp cry, her blue silk flying like a whip in the wind, her clothes rippling. She wielded her long and graceful black curved sword with both hands, striking down. It was like the setting sun at dusk, the devil sun sinking into the mountains, rolling thunder gathered within this single strike.

The aura of the once demon king erupted to its peak within this single blade. Lu Xia Tian wielded his halberd with both hands, a terrifying pressure condensing before him. Kong Rong's mastery of spatial laws was astonishingly profound, the entire space felt like a chaotic void before heaven and earth were divided. Within this expanse, there was no sky nor earth, only Kong Rong, the absolute ruler.

The opponent was heaven and earth, the divine being who held dominion over life and death within this very space. Lu Xiaoteng wielded his halberd like an axe, striking out indiscriminately. This strike didn't seem aimed at Kong Rong Laogui; it was simply a way to cleave through this expanse of reality. But for Kong Rong Laogui, it made no difference whether it was directed at him or not.

With a deafening crack, the combined strike of Lu Xia Tian and Yan Ji seemed to cleave open the stagnant space with a gaping chasm.

Even with Kong Rong's abilities, they ultimately couldn't build a space that could completely confine Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji. If this wasn't their home ground, they wouldn't even be able to stop Lu Xiaotian and the others from escaping.

As for this situation, Kong Rong the Old Monster had been prepared long ago. With a wave of his hand, seven spheres like celestial spirit pearls rolled over and converged into a giant sword pointing directly at Yan Ji.

This giant sword fused with the entire space, and within that space, anyone was unable to avoid it. Yan Ji made no attempt to dodge, and slashed with her sword.

“Charge!” Ji Ting roared, a colossal demonic shadow rising behind him, joining forces with Lan Yunzhu’s flying sword to strike. Lu Xia Tian wielded his celestial painting halberd once more, the power of laws and totemic energy surging within him, frenziedly swirling. In this crucial moment, they could afford no retreat whatsoever. If their momentum faltered, Kong Jue Lao Gui's flying sword would instantly cripple them all.

With the combined power of four, they confronted the formidable Old Monster Kong Rong, employing no underhanded tactics. Before such a venerable monster, there was no room for trickery; one misstep could lead to their own demise.

Kong Rong Lao Gui also had a similar feeling at this time. Although he pressed Lu Xia Tian and his four companions here, various methods did not have much effect.

Lu Xia Tian, Yan Ji and several others were all battle-hardened veterans with extraordinary fighting talents. Kong Rong Lao Gui couldn't keep up the fight indefinitely.

The only way is to bring the decisive battle forward, while his own strength is still formidable, to determine the outcome in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if this continues, he will not be able to hold on for long.

The seven Kongluo sword beads combined into a giant sword, fighting with the four of them. At first, they were evenly matched. This was a battle of their respective laws and origins.

As time passed, Lu XiaTian and Yan Ji could still hold on, but Lan Yunzhu monk couldn't bear it any longer. Ji Ting's situation was slightly better, but beads of sweat constantly appeared on his face, obviously indicating he wasn't doing well either.

The balance of victory has begun to tilt in favor of Kong Rong, the formidable swordsman. Pff! Lan Yunzhu, the monk, was wounded by that powerful sword intent and spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body trembled precariously in mid-air.

>

Kong Rong, the old monster, was ruthless in victory. His unparalleled sword intent surged like waves, one after another.

Lu Xia Tian and Yan Ji were now also helpless. After using the Bat Dragon Blood Ling, they were already fighting a desperate battle.

Now completely restrained by the invincible sword intent of Kong Rong Old Monster, taking a step back is a fathomless abyss. Both sides have no room to maneuver.

"It seems you're already starting to falter." Kong Rong, the old fiend, chuckled with a sinister laugh, but his smile quickly hardened. "Damn it!"

A unprecedented crisis enveloped Kong Rong the Monster, the originally sure-fire evasion had now become a new source of danger.

A powerful aura rose from Kong Rong's left arm. Following that, the figure of Kong Tianji appeared.

Lu Xiaotian was also astonished. Under the pressure of Kong Rong Lao Gui, he had already prepared to use the remaining power in the Qing Guo barrier.

Even if the Bear-Head Demon, Dharma Practitioners, and Golden Gu Worm Monks, these powerful beings of spirit essence, joined forces, they might not be able to turn the tide of battle. At best, they could buy some time by delaying them for a while longer.

But Kong Tianji's appearance was completely unexpected. Wasn't this guy supposed to have merged with Kong Rong How could he suddenly appear now

It seems there's a clear disagreement between him and the old monster Kong Rong. But thinking about it, it's understandable.

Kong Tianji was also an extremely selfish person. After years of effort, he wouldn't be willing to simply become a bride for the old monster Kong Rong.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The other party must have wanted to take the lead, but unfortunately, compared to Kong Rong's strength and layout, Kong Tianji was still a little inexperienced. However, Kong Tianji is after all the patriarch of the Kongying clan, a powerful figure at the Immortal Monarch level. Even if Kong Rong was ruthless, he couldn't just wipe him out. Under time constraints, before he could completely deal with Kong Tianji's issue, he ran into Lu Xiaoteng.

"Eastern Saint, time is of the essence, this old man will be straightforward. Kong Rong monster is too powerful, we must join forces to defeat him."

"If you agree to let this old man consume the remains of the Kong Rong monster, this old man will lend a helping hand. Otherwise, this old man would rather remain eternally submerged." The situation was dire, and Kong Tianji went straight to the point.

“I won't agree to your request completely,” Lu Xia Tian replied naturally.

Even a quarter of the strength of Kong Rong Lao Gui would be a great opportunity for Kong Tian Ji, at least it could solve his current embarrassing situation to some extent.

He can't let Yanji, Jiting, and Lan Yunzhuseng work for nothing. All the benefits should go to Kongtian Ji.

"Good!" Kong Tianji originally didn't intend to monopolize the benefits, asking for exorbitant prices and repaying on the spot. In his current state, being able to get one-fourth was already considered good.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Originally, he was already unable to contend with Kong Rong Lao Gui by himself. Once the old monster made a move, it wouldn't take too long for him to be completely merged and refined.

However, Kong Tianji had long anticipated that Kong Rong, the old monster, would make a move against Lu Xiaoteng. This was inevitable, so he placed his hopes on Lu Xiaoteng.

It was just unexpected that even though Kong Rong the Devilish Old Monster was so weakened, his strength was still so terrifying. I didn't expect Lu Xia Tian to have Yan Ji, Ji Ting, and Lan Yun Zhu Seng as reinforcements, and they actually managed to hold back Kong Rong the Devilish Old Monster's murderous aura.

Although it still seems somewhat inadequate, being able to reach this point in front of a half-step Demon Emperor is already quite difficult.

A powerful force of spatial laws erupted from Kong Rong, the old monster. The restriction originally used to seal Kong Tianji was now unable to completely hold him back due to Kong Rong's inability to split his attention.

For a time, the old monster Kong Rong had been in control, but now he was caught between a rock and a hard place, with no advantage left.

"Haha, this old monster's days are numbered. Today, I shall slay this half-step Demon Emperor. Such a momentous occasion is rare in a lifetime."

Jì Tíng, under immense pressure, spat out a mouthful of blood. Though wounded, his fighting spirit grew stronger with each passing moment. He raised his spear, summoning the power of nine heavens, and unleashed bolts of lightning that struck Kǒng Róng Old Devil relentlessly.

Ji Ting's figure flashed and disappeared into the thunder column. In an instant, hundreds or even thousands of thunder columns all showed Ji Ting's figure.

At this time, Ji Ting was no longer content to hide behind Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji. He intended to confront Kong Rong Lao Monster head-on. Even though the old monster was currently being restrained by Lu Xiaotian, Yan Ji, and Kong Tianji, Ji Ting's move was still extremely dangerous. The slightest misstep would result in his immediate demise. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great. Ji Ting couldn't withstand the wrath of Kong Rong Lao Monster. If Kong Rong Lao Monster was determined to drag one or two people down as scapegoats, he might not be able to pull down Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji, who were powerful figures. However, Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu Seng found it difficult to avoid the opponent's methods.

Ji Ting's actions can no longer be described as bold, they are downright crazy.

"Amitabha Buddha, Ji Ting donor dares to forsake himself, this poor monk cannot remain seated behind the lines."

Lan Yun Zhu Seng's face first showed a hint of surprise, which quickly subsided. A surge of Buddha light emanated from Lan Yun Zhu Seng's body, transforming him into a bamboo sword. In the air, a forest of bamboo sprouted. Like Ji Ting, Lan Yun Zhu Seng launched a full-frontal attack at this moment. The Buddhist sect was waning, and Lan Yun Zhu Seng could cultivate the Buddhist path to such a level in a remote corner. As the second most powerful Buddhist figure within the Qingguo barrier, second only to Lu Xia Tian, Lan Yun Zhu Seng also possessed the fearlessness of placing life and death behind him.

A tranquil sword energy drifted by, pulverizing the bamboo forest in its wake. Hundreds of lightning pillars also exploded, transforming into countless tiny bolts of electricity that danced around.

Ji Ting, wielding a bamboo sword against the might of the guns, fought with unwavering resolve. Even under the crushing pressure of Kong Rong's forces, his clothes were tattered and he appeared worn down.

The Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon roared, a dragon's roar shook the heavens. Those tiny sword intents scattered under the Azure Dragon’s roar.

These dissipated sword intents couldn't pose a fatal threat to Lu XiaTian and Yan Ji, but they were a huge problem for Ji Ting and Lan Yun Zhu Seng. If they weren't careful and got caught up in them, it could lead to extremely dire consequences.

These two individuals fearlessly faced death, with a heart for a final stand. They desired to achieve their transformation within this brutal battle. However, Lu Xia Tian couldn't bear the thought of such formidable power suffering any mishap.

It's too difficult to cultivate such combat strength solely relying on the Qingguo Barrier. Even Wu Claw Golden Dragon Wenyan would need time to grow to this stage. Ji Ting is not his subordinate, but he exerted himself in both battles, which were crucial. Lan Yunzhu Seng entered the Qingguo Barrier and felt the flourishing of Buddhism within, already considering himself a part of the Qingguo Barrier. As long as there was even a slight possibility, Lu Xia Tian would do everything to ensure both of them remained safe.

Fang Tianhua halberd danced continuously, the huge azure dragon phantom and bat shadow clamped down on Kong Rong Lao Gui from left to right. Kong Tianji was not idle either, but his opponent's body hadn't fully manifested. Instead, he launched an attack directly from within at Kong Rong Lao Gui.ing. When he made his move, the blood gang around his body became even stronger. Getting too close, this blood gang could affect the minds of ordinary cultivators. If it weren't for his powerful Yuans...
