dormant state within the jade gourd, but they hadn't eaten for a long time.The awakened shadow ants were frantically eating, and a few even started biting each other because they were eating the same...Compared to Fu Lian Yue and Lou Yi Kong, who were relatively simple at this time and didn't need to consider too many positions, Nie Tian Hou, Shen Tu Zhan Feng, and even Bai Ru Xue, whose past relationships with Lu Xiao Tian were good, were in a complex state of mind. On the one hand, they didn't want to see Lu Xiao Tian die in the Dan Dou. On the other hand, they didn't want to see a large number of casualties among the Dan Saints on the side of Hong Hao Tian Ting. After all, although both sides had friendships, they grew up step by step within the system of Hong Hao Tian Ting since childhood, and naturally they would have a different kind of feeling for Hong Hao Tian Ting.

But things don't always go according to one's will, especially now when these outsiders who can't interfere in the struggle are involved.

At this moment, between Lu Xiaotian and Yin Hu, the two sides' dan qi collided incessantly, producing a fierce roar. The tremendous tremor had already turned even celestial immortals pale with fear. After the resentful spirit merged into the dan qi, the lethality of these dan qi soared to a level that ordinary celestial immortals could scarcely match.

Within each of their bodies, one could see streaks of dragon shadows swirling back and forth. These dragon shadows surged towards their opponents, causing the area centered around the four Heavenly Palaces Dan Saints to resemble a chaotic domain where dragons danced wildly.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian was controlling his danqi to fight back and forth with Yin Hu. Although he seemed calm on the surface, Lu Xia Tian's heart had a few odd feelings. These resentful spirits, formed by the fusion of resentment from the Dragon Clan's remnants, were indeed a very special existence. However, they still possessed many characteristics of the dragon souls.

Over a hundred Dharma Saints were present, and hundreds of thousands of Immortal Army members, including numerous Golden Immortals from afar. To say that Lu Xiaoxiao understood Dragon Soul better than anyone else would be an understatement.

In this situation, for Lu Xiaoteng to control the dragon soul remnants and vengeful spirits within this red qi, there was naturally a special effect. From an outsider's perspective, it seemed as though Lu Xiaoteng had not been greatly affected by the vengeful spirits.

At this moment, Lu Xia Tian naturally didn't pay attention to the thoughts of those spectators. Even though the resentment spirit's influence on him wasn't great, he couldn't afford to underestimate his opponent in the slightest. Yin Hu no longer deliberately resisted the resentment spirit's control over his dan qi. Although the gathered dan qi was not as much as Lu Xia Tian's, the destructive power it exerted was extremely astonishing. After several attacks between Lu Xia Tian and him, although Lu Xia Tian had a slight advantage, he couldn't expand his advantage in a short period of time. As for threatening Yin Hu himself, it was far from enough.

This dragon soul fused into a vengeful spirit is indeed a double-edged sword, but under Yin Hu's reckless use, it becomes quite troublesome.

At this moment, another strange sound erupted from the void. Opposite him, Yin Hu's eyes had turned blood red as he waved his sleeves. A swathe of scarlet energy surged forward and twisted, transforming into five shadowy figures with dragon heads and human bodies. These shadows bore some resemblance to Yin Hu's own features. With a gaping maw, each figure spewed a column of black-grey smoke, like dragonfire, towards Lu Xia Tian.

“Alchemic Qi transforming into form This alchemical battle is quite interesting indeed.” Lu Xia Tian’s eyes sharpened. With a flick of his finger, the alchemic qi in front of him transformed into five swirling vortexes, perfectly matching the dragon breath that resembled a column of smoke.

The five plumes of smoke initially seemed to struggle, but they didn't hold out for long before being drawn into the vortex. Five shadowy figures with dragon heads and human bodies reacted quickly. Their hands moved like blades, slashing through the air with blinding speed, sending ten streaks of light hurtling forward, their chilling blade intent intersecting dangerously.

"Dragon Slayer Sword" Lu Xia Tian's eyes held a hint of surprise. He had obtained many complete Dragon Clan martial arts from the Golden Clan Dragon Realm in the secret Buddhist realm and the Dragon Realm secret realm. Among them was a set of dragon clan combat techniques called the Dragon Slayer Sword.

After the unexpected encounter, Lu Xia Tian felt that everything before him was normal again. Dan Qi itself didn't possess such astonishing lethality. The reason why Yin Hu's Dan Qi posed such a great threat to him stemmed primarily from the resentment spirits formed by the fusion of those Dragon Clan remnants. These resentment spirits naturally also inherited some of the Dragon Clan combat techniques. The secret realm Dragon Clan were originally one with the Immortal Realm Dragon Clan, so the appearance of this Mo Long sword technique is not surprising.

Since Lu Xiaoteng saw at a glance that the opponent's dan qi contained the trickery of resentment spirits from this dragon clan fighting technique, and without dragon yuan as the driving force, the pure physical damage was insufficient, what stood out even more was the spiritual intimidation and oppression. For Lu Xiaoteng, dealing with this was not a great difficulty.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian's alchemy speed was far superior to Yin Hu's. As Yin Hu saw the increasing amount of danqi around Lu Xia Tian, he had no choice but to let go of his resistance towards the resentment spirit, allowing it to fight Lu Xia Tian despite having less danqi. At this point, Yin Hu had indeed achieved his goal.

At this time, it was indeed not easy for Lu Xia Tian to subdue Yin Hu. Under the other party's attack, he even had to spare enough energy to parry.

Besides the clash between Lu Xia Tian and Yin Hu, the other four celestial courts, led by their respective Saint Emperors, had converged their surging and turbulent Qi into colossal beasts that were poised to unleash themselves upon their enemies. Yu Xuan faced Hong Hao, while the Ming Luo Celestial Court took on the Nan Dan Celestial Court.

In comparison, the combined qi of dozens of Dan Saints is far more effective against resentment spirits than any individual could manage. Facing the first wave of resentment spirits surging from the Dragon Abyss, they struggled to hold their ground.

However, at this moment, everyone's faces were extremely grave. Aside from being wary of their opponents and ready to attack at any time, some fourth-rank Dan Saints like Qi Shiji, Mu Ziyin, and Ge Wunian also paid considerable attention to Lu Xiaottian and Yin Hu.

This time, the number of ghosts released was several times more than expected. Moreover, the individual strength of each ghost seemed to be significantly different from before. However, at this time, Yin Hu made a misjudgment. Although he recklessly introduced ghosts to block Lu Xiaoteng's initial lightning-fast offensive, as more and more ghosts merged, the destructive power of his danqi increased. But every time his powerful attack was neutralized by Lu Xiaoteng, it seemed that this reckless behavior didn't have much effect.

After adapting to Yin Hu's attack rhythm, Lu Xia Tian began to counterattack step by step. The many Dan Saints between the Four Directions Heavenly Palaces seemed to have also accumulated to a certain extent and had tentative attacks. For a time, the scene was exceptionally lively. Compared with this, the clash of Lu Xia Tian and Yin Hu's Dan Qi was less noticeable.

Four massive spheres of danqi condensed, with streaks of dragon figures darting within. Upon colliding with the opposing danqi, the dragons from each sphere immediately attacked each other like sworn enemies, tearing and battling fiercely without yielding an inch.

Some highly accomplished Taoist masters can control their dan qi to transform it into physical forms for attack, just like Lu Xia Tian and Yin Hu here.ergy, even more potent than when the ghost tribe first burst out of their lair. Even powerful cultivators like Wen Changyun and Ji Qian Shui couldn't help but be shocked.The ghostly energy surged and...
