The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 179 Ten Directions Absolute Fire Formation

After Lu Xuan and the others entered the secret realm.

These three near-Cave Heaven cultivators joined forces to hunt down the fleeing Black Water Serpent.

It was a case of outnumbering the enemy, and the monster was already injured.

The natural outcome was without a doubt.

The incomparably precious half-step cave-heaven demon core fell into Li Daoran's hands.

This became the trigger for the three-way conflict.

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense! Hand over the demon core!"

Xiao Jian also unleashed a sword strike, the azure sword light piercing the sun like a rainbow, aiming straight for Li Daoran's back.

The three fought as they traveled.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surrounding spatial barriers to tremble continuously.

They did not linger in the several grotto-heavens in the middle.

The third layer is the Geng Metal Realm, the fourth layer is the Green Wood Realm, the fifth layer is the Kui Water Realm — all the way up to the eighth layer is the Thunderstorm Realm.

These trials, which would be a matter of life and death for ordinary disciples, were merely slightly troublesome obstacles in their eyes.

They have only one goal.

The Ninth Heavenly Cave!

The land of heritage!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar.

The three of them finally broke through the last barrier and disappeared into a dazzling golden light.

Let's return our attention to the second grotto-heaven world, the Fiery Heaven.

At this moment, Lu Xuan and the others are facing the greatest crisis since entering the secret realm.

In the center of the magma sea, a terrifying behemoth, thousands of feet in size, is slowly rising from the magma.

Its entire body is composed of flowing magma, and its exterior is covered with a thick obsidian armor. Every movement of it will trigger a small earthquake.

Lava Troll!

Half-step into the Dharma Realm!

The oppressive aura emanating from it alone caused many disciples with lower cultivation levels to vomit blood and faint on the spot.

"Damn it! How could there be such a monster?!"

The elder of the Yin Sha Sect turned pale.

Half a step into the Dharma form!

Moreover, it is the other party's territory, where the flames of this realm exist.

This thing is simply incomparable to a regular half-step Dharma form.

In other words, this is an invincible existence below the Dharma Aspect level!

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to die, come at me all at once!"

Xiao Huohuo roared and made the first move.

"The Radiant Sun Dharma Form, manifest!"

In the void behind him, a phantom of a hundred-foot-tall fire giant appeared. Although it was far inferior to a true Dharma form, it was enough to allow him to unleash power surpassing the Returning Origin Realm.

"Heavenly Sword! Slash!"

Jian Wuxin also stopped holding back, becoming one with his sword, transforming into a huge sword beam, and fiercely slashing towards the head of the lava troll.

Although the elders of the Yin Sha Sect were afraid, they knew that if they retreated now, they would surely die.

"The Soul-Devouring Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, summoning countless vengeful spirits in an attempt to restrain the lava troll's movements.

The three powerful figures joined forces, creating a formidable force.

But the lava troll just snorted dismissively.

"roar!"

It opened its mouth wide, and a thick column of magma erupted out.

"boom!"

Wherever the pillar of fire passed, space distorted.

Xiao Huohuo's fire giant was instantly destroyed, Jian Wuxin's sword light was shattered, and the Yin Sha Sect's ghost net was burned to nothingness.

All three were sent flying backward, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

This is the power of a half-step Dharma Aspect!

It was a complete rout!

"It's over————"

A sense of despair rose in everyone's hearts.

Even the three strongest have been defeated, what can these small fry do?

"roar!"

The lava troll roared to the sky, slamming its enormous hand onto the surface of the lava sea.

"boom!"

Countless pillars of magma and fire shot into the sky, indiscriminately covering everyone.

"Defend! Defend now!"

Jian Wuchen shouted loudly, and his long sword danced into a curtain of swords.

Zhuge Qing was also pale-faced, and he frantically waved his folding fan, sending out array flags that transformed into a huge defensive array.

Several experts at the Returning Origin Realm from the Yin Sha Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect also used various methods to desperately resist.

But their defenses were instantly torn apart by the overwhelming rain of fire.

"Ah! Help!"

Several disciples with weaker cultivation were instantly engulfed by the rain of fire, turning to ashes before they could even scream.

"Damn it! This beast is too strong!"

Xiao Huohuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment.

They have gathered the top combat power of the three sects here, with more than a dozen people at the Returning Origin Realm and dozens more at the Half-Step Returning Origin Realm.

But in front of this half-step Dharma Aspect demon beast that had the advantage of terrain, it was completely powerless to fight back!

This is the difference in levels of understanding!

This is the terror of geographical advantage!

"This can't go on!"

Lu Xuan stood at the back of the crowd, the gray light in his eyes reaching its peak.

Chaos Divine Eye, shatter illusions!

In his view, the lava troll, though seemingly invincible, had a fatal weakness in the source of its power.

Although its feet were standing in the lava, in reality, every bit of its power was drawn from the earth veins of the entire Second Cave Heaven World through the lava beneath its feet!

In other words.

As long as it stands in the magma, its power is inexhaustible!

To kill it, you must first cut off its roots!

"Senior Brother Zhuge!"

Lu Xuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhuge Qing, who was struggling to hold on not far away.

"Do you know about the Ten Directions Absolute Fire Formation?"

Zhuge Qing was taken aback upon hearing this, and then a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

"The Ten Directions Absolute Fire Formation? That's an ancient forbidden formation! Although it can isolate all fire-type spiritual power, the conditions for setting it up are extremely demanding, and it requires at least ten Returning Origin Realm experts as the formation's cores!"

"Just so you know!"

Lu Xuan shouted loudly, his voice drowning out the rain of fire.

"There are just enough Returning Origin Realm cultivators here right now!"

"By setting up this formation, we can sever its connection to the earth's ley lines!"

"Without the support of the earth's ley lines, it's just a toothless tiger!"

Zhuge Qing's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Lu Xuan's intention.

This is indeed the only solution at the moment!

"Alright! I'll set up the formation!"

Seeing this, Lu Xuan pointed and transmitted the array diagram to Zhuge Qing through his divine sense.

Zhuge Qing was a decisive man, and immediately shouted.

"All Returning Origin Realm cultivators, heed my command!"

"Xiao Huohuo, Jian Wuchen, Leng Rushuang, and everyone from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Yin Sha Sect!"

"Those who don't want to die, stand in the positions I tell you to!"

In a life-or-death situation, no one cares about sectarian differences anymore.

Although the elders of the Yin Sha Sect were unwilling, they knew that if they did not cooperate at this moment, everyone would be doomed.

"Hmph! Kid, if this formation doesn't work, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

He snorted coldly, and in a flash, he took up a position.

Jian Wuxin nodded silently and led several Guiyuan Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect to their designated positions.

In the blink of an eye.

Ten experts at the Returning Origin Realm occupied ten positions, including east, south, west, north, up, down, left, and right, completely surrounding the Lava Giant.

"Charge!"

Zhuge Qing stood in the center of the formation and suddenly waved his folding fan.

Ten beams of spiritual energy of different colors shot into the sky, intertwining in the air to form a huge net of light.

"roar!"

Although the lava trolls are not very intelligent, they instinctively sensed the danger.

Its giant, fiery eyes stared intently at Zhuge Qing, a hint of savagery flashing within them.

It suddenly threw a punch.

This punch, carrying a torrent of magma, slammed directly towards the location where Zhuge Qing was.
