Chapter 770: If You Toss, I Toss Too

Judging from the combat, it seems the Qilin Immortal was at a disadvantage, his moves mostly defensive... No, wait, could he have been protecting someone?

The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly, sensing that the Qilin Immortal's battle back then was not as valiant as she remembered.

"Never mind that for now, this mist is highly dangerous for you all, escape from it first."

The Immortal Fairy released her divine sense, enveloping the entirety of the dense fog.

"Which way?"

"This dense fog is constantly shifting positions, you are already near its center, and you have been surrounded."

Lu Yang was startled: "What is inside the fog?"

"Likely those who were trapped in the mist before. This place bears traces of the Qilin Immortal activating his Dao Fruit in battle, and the residual might of those traces is still present, capable of controlling the people within the fog. They range from the Body Integration Stage down to the Qi Condensation Stage. Fortunately, there are no Tribulation Transcendence Stage combatants, otherwise we would have to call Girl Yun for help."

"Run in the direction I tell you first."

"Alright."

"Everyone, I have a secret treasure bestowed by my sect that can guide our direction and help us escape," Lu Yang said in a deep voice. Following the Immortal Fairy's instructions, he pointed north, where the enemies were fewest and it would be easiest to break through.

"Go this way!"

The crowd did not doubt him and followed Lu Yang, running toward the outside of the dense fog.

"Also, prepare for battle, the secret treasure tells me we are surrounded!"

Just as Lu Yang finished speaking, a water spear shot toward him, swift and precise.

Su Yiren appeared at the very front of Lu Yang, striking out with a palm against the water spear. This palm carried the momentum of crashing waves and turbulent seas, dispersing the surrounding dense fog, but soon, the fog rolled in and enveloped everyone once more.

Taking advantage of the brief moment the fog dispersed, everyone saw their opponent clearly—it was a crab over three meters tall, holding two pincers, its body decaying and its back covered in moss, having been dead for an unknown number of years.

"It's a Body Integration Stage cultivator of the Tyrant Crab Clan!" Su Yiren recognized the opponent's origin and cultivation.

Not just the Tyrant Crab Clan, there were countless surrounding sea clans and humans who were dead yet still able to move, surrounding the crowd.

Li Haoran watched the dense fog warily, letting various meticulously refined magical treasures float around him, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead: "Next time, let's invite the fellow daoists from the Corpse Driving Sect to take a trip to the East China Sea."

The Body Integration Stage crab of the Tyrant Crab Clan suddenly raised its pincers and swung them forward, surprisingly flinging the two pincers out, striking right at Su Yiren's waist, intending to slice her in half!

"Lingshu Marrow Cleansing Art!" Su Yiren shouted softly, her fair skin harboring endless power as she directly clashed with the giant crab's attack, denting the crab shell, which was renowned for its defensive power, with two punches.

Those long-dead sea clans and humans followed the Body Integration Stage crab in the attack. They took various forms and had fierce auras; there was a leaping blue whale, a sea swallow demon king spreading its wings to soar, and even a thousand-year-old turtle demon of towering stature. Among them were no lack of old monsters accumulated over the years or peerless geniuses of the past, but because their era was too distant, Xiao Xinghai had only heard of their names and never seen their faces, making it impossible to match them up.

"Form the array!"

Lu Yang shouted loudly, and the five of them once again executed the Five Elements Combat Method, connecting their spiritual energy, causing their combat power to surge several fold.

"One Sword Transforms into Ten Thousand Swords!" Lu Yang sacrificed the Sword Washing Pool, and countless pools filled the sky, falling like meteors. Whether they were sea clans or humans, anyone below the Deity Transformation Stage was smashed into mincemeat.

"Six Styles of Shaking the Heavens!"

Meng Jingzhou manifested three heads and six arms, his body like cast copper and iron, his musculature resembling twisted, intertwined dragons. His fists whipped up a boundless, majestic momentum, each punch as if shaking heaven and earth!

Man Gu wielded a ten-thousand-pound heavy hammer, clashing head-on with a blue whale, each collision causing the seawater to fluctuate violently, forming a massive vortex!

"Thousand Mechanism Transformation!"

Nine different types of magical treasures surfaced around Li Haoran—a jade gourd, a precious tripod, a small hammer, a wooden sword... the nine magical treasures ignited with true fire, forming a miniature array that blocked attacks from all directions.

"Feathered Immortal Body!"

Facing zombies, the illusions that Tao Yaoye excelled in could hardly display their power. She decisively chose to use the Feathered Immortal Body, her entire self enveloped in a milky-white glow that transformed into pristine white feathers, her aura suddenly skyrocketing!

Early Deity Transformation Stage!

She borrowed power from her future self, temporarily becoming an early Deity Transformation Stage cultivator!

The price was that her future self at the early Deity Transformation Stage would drop to the mid-Nascent Soul Stage during a certain period.

Tao Yaoye's spiritual energy grew like a flood discharging, causing even the four people situated within the array to feel a continuous stream of power!

Seeing Lu Yang and the others each displaying their divine abilities, Xiao Xinghai was filled with envy.

"Nine Transformations of the Kunpeng! Dragon Transformation Art!"

Xiao Xinghai executed two divine abilities simultaneously, transforming into a hundred-zhang four-clawed golden dragon, the golden dragon sprouting a pair of golden wings, each flap stirring up a boundless hurricane!

"Roar!" Xiao Xinghai clashed with that thousand-year-old turtle demon, his powerful dragon claws carving three extremely deep marks upon the turtle's back!

This turtle demon was a notorious Deity Transformation Stage old demon from a thousand years ago in the East China Sea. Though a hybrid, it possessed the history of defeating a member of the Xuanwu Clan of the same rank, causing a sensation at the time.

Meng Jingzhou looked up at Xiao Xinghai in surprise; this kid's cultivation really had some merit.

"Don't get entangled with them, keep running!" Lu Yang knew well that wasting time here would only lead to their deaths. According to the Immortal Fairy, there was still a steady stream of Body Integration Stage combatants rushing this way.

Holding the dual swords of Qingfeng and Mingyue, Lu Yang carved out a path with sword qi, which was quickly submerged by the dense fog again. Sitting in the Sword Washing Pool, he charged ahead recklessly: "Run this way!"

The crowd carved out a blood-soaked path.

As Lu Yang ran, he questioned the Immortal Fairy: "Isn't the Qilin Immortal's the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit? How does he still have means to control others?"

"You forgot, Lian Yi's embryonic form of the Law of the Jungle Dao Fruit can control others, and the higher tier of the Law of the Jungle Dao Fruit's embryonic form is the Survival of the Fittest Dao Fruit. A higher-tier Dao Fruit possesses all the abilities of its lower-tier embryonic form."

"Though the relationship between the Immortal Dao Fruit and the embryonic form of the Longevity Dao Fruit won't work like that."

"...The grand array has shifted positions again. There are quite obvious immortal traces ahead, which contain a highly dense comprehension of laws. Let alone you guys, even those in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage couldn't withstand this amount of information with just a glance and would go mad. The people from before went mad just like that. Run to the east!"

The ruins of the immortal war were riddled with deadly peril; those who entered by mistake rarely managed to run out. Fortunately, with the assistance of the Immortal Fairy, a clear path could be pointed out to Lu Yang.

The blood-stained group ran out from the dense fog, escaping death. They had experienced three bloody battles along the way, and though injured, they were only minor wounds of no great concern.

"This deity has already marked that ruin. Once your group settles down, Second Boss, you come back to the ruin, and the two of us will study it carefully."

The Immortal Fairy had long thrown Eldest Senior Sister's warning to the back of her mind.

"Alright."

Coincidentally, Lu Yang had thrown it away too.
