Chapter 758: You Throw and I Also Throw

"Fairy, can you see anything else?" Lu Yang hadn't expected to find the ruins of a battle between Qilin Immortal and an immortal from the Xinhuo Dynasty here.

"Judging from the battle, Qilin Immortal seemed to be at a disadvantage; his moves were mostly defensive... No, could he have been protecting someone?"

The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly, feeling that Qilin Immortal's fighting style back then wasn't as fierce as she remembered.

"Never mind that for now. This dense fog is very dangerous for you. Get out first."

The Immortal Fairy released her divine sense, covering the entire cloud of thick fog.

"How do we leave?"

"This dense fog is constantly shifting positions. You are already near its center and are surrounded."

Lu Yang was startled. "What's in the fog?"

"Probably people who were trapped in the fog before. There are traces of Qilin Immortal activating his Dao Fruit in battle here, and the lingering power of those traces can control the people in the fog, ranging from the Integration Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Fortunately, there are no Tribulation Transcension Stage cultivators, otherwise, we'd have to call Yun Yatou for help."

"First, run in the direction I tell you."

"Okay."

"Everyone, I have a secret treasure bestowed by our sect that can guide us and help us escape," Lu Yang said in a deep voice, following the Immortal Fairy's instructions and pointing north. That direction had the fewest enemies, making it the easiest way out.

"This way!"

Without a doubt, everyone followed Lu Yang, running out of the dense fog.

"Also, be prepared for battle! The secret treasure tells me we're surrounded!"

No sooner had Lu Yang finished speaking than a water spear shot towards him, fast and accurate.

Su Yiren appeared in front of Lu Yang and struck out with a palm, meeting the water spear. Her palm carried the momentum of surging waves, dispelling the surrounding dense fog, but soon, the fog swirled and enveloped everyone again.

In that fleeting moment when the fog dispersed, everyone clearly saw their opponent: a crab over three meters tall. The crab held up its two pincers; its body was rotten, and its back was covered in moss, indicating it had been dead for countless years.

"It's an Integration Stage cultivator from the Overlord Crab Clan!" Su Yiren recognized its origin and cultivation level.

It wasn't just the Overlord Crab Clan; countless other sea creatures and humans surrounded them, all dead but still capable of movement.

Li Haoran watched the dense fog warily, allowing various meticulously refined magic treasures to float around him. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. "Next time, I'll invite some fellow Taoists from the Corpse-Driving Sect to visit the East Sea."

The Integration Stage Overlord Crab suddenly raised its pincers and flung them forward. The two pincers actually flew off, aiming straight for Su Yiren's waist, intending to cut her in half!

"Ling Shu Marrow Cleansing Art!" Su Yiren lightly shouted. Her fair skin pulsed with infinite power as she directly met the giant crab's attack. The crab's shell, known for its formidable defense, was dented by her two punches.

Those long-dead sea creatures and humans followed the Integration Stage Overlord Crab in their assault. They varied in form and were menacing: leaping blue whales, soaring sea swallow demon kings, and even majestic thousand-year-old turtle demons. Among them were many ancient monsters or once-peerless geniuses, but their era was so distant that Xiao Xinghai had only heard their names and never seen their appearance, making it impossible to identify them.

"Form the array!"

Lu Yang roared. The five once again deployed the Five-Element Battle Formation, sharing their spiritual power, and their combat strength surged several times over.

"One Sword Transforms into Ten Thousand Swords!" Lu Yang summoned the Sword-Washing Pool. Countless sword-washing pools filled the sky, falling like meteors. Both sea creatures and humans below the Soul Transformation Stage were all smashed into paste.

Even those at the Soul Transformation Stage were severely wounded, their combat strength sharply reduced!

"Six Styles of Earth-Shaking!"

Meng Jingzhou manifested three heads and six arms. His body was like cast bronze and iron, his muscles like gnarled dragons. His fists unleashed boundless, majestic power, each punch as if shaking heaven and earth!

Man Gu wielded a ten-thousand-jin heavy hammer, directly clashing with a blue whale. Each collision caused violent fluctuations in the seawater, forming massive whirlpools!

"Thousand Mechanisms Transformation!"

Nine different types of magic treasures appeared around Li Haoran: a jade gourd, a precious cauldron, a small hammer, a wooden sword... The nine treasures ignited with true fire, forming a small array that blocked attacks from all directions.

"Feathered Immortal Body!"

Against the zombies, Tao Yaoye's illusions were extremely difficult to unleash effectively. She resolutely decided to use her Feathered Immortal Body. Her entire being was enveloped in milky white light, which transformed into pure white feathers, and Tao Yaoye's aura surged dramatically!

Early Soul Transformation Stage!

She borrowed strength from her future self, temporarily becoming an Early Soul Transformation Stage cultivator!

The cost was that her future self, also at the Early Soul Transformation Stage, would temporarily drop to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage for a certain period.

Tao Yaoye's spiritual power increased like a flood, and even the four people within the formation felt a continuous surge of power!

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

"Kunpeng Nine Transformations! Dragon Transformation Art!"

Xiao Xinghai simultaneously activated two divine abilities, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long four-clawed golden dragon. The golden dragon grew a pair of golden wings, each flap stirring up boundless hurricanes!

"Roar!" Xiao Xinghai confronted the thousand-year-old turtle demon. His powerful dragon claws left three extremely deep marks on the turtle's back!

This turtle demon was a famous Soul Transformation Stage old demon in the East Sea a thousand years ago. Although a hybrid, it had once defeated a Xuanwu clan member of the same cultivation level, causing a huge stir at the time.

Meng Jingzhou looked up at Xiao Xinghai in surprise. This kid actually had some talent in his cultivation.

"Don't get entangled with them, keep running!" Lu Yang knew that if they lingered here, they would only die. According to the Immortal Fairy, a continuous stream of Integration Stage cultivators was heading their way.

Lu Yang, holding the Qingfeng Mingyue Twin Swords, cut a path with his sword qi, but it was quickly re-submerged by the dense fog. He sat in the Sword-Washing Pool, charging recklessly. "Run this way!"

Everyone fought their way out, carving a bloody path.

While running, Lu Yang asked the Immortal Fairy, "Isn't Qilin Immortal's Dao Fruit 'Survival of the Fittest'? How can he still control others?"

"Didn't you forget? Lian Yi's nascent Dao Fruit of 'The Strong Prey on the Weak' can control others, and the higher-level Dao Fruit of 'Survival of the Fittest' encompasses all the abilities of the lower-level nascent Dao Fruit of 'The Strong Prey on the Weak'."

"However, that kind of relationship doesn't apply to the Immortal Dao Fruit and the nascent Longevity Dao Fruit."

"...The grand array has shifted again. There are very distinct immortal traces ahead, containing extremely dense insights into laws. Not to mention you all, even Tribulation Transcension cultivators wouldn't be able to bear such a massive amount of information and would go mad. That's how the previous people went mad. Run east!"

The immortal battlefield ruins were filled with killing intent, and few who strayed into them ever escaped. Fortunately, with the Immortal Fairy's help, Lu Yang was able to find a clear path.

The blood-stained group emerged from the dense fog, escaping to safety. They had endured three fierce battles along the way, and although injured, their injuries were minor and not serious.

"This immortal has already marked that ruin. Once you all settle down, Deputy Head, you can come back to the ruin, and we can study it carefully together."

"Okay."

Coincidentally, Lu Yang had also cast it aside.
