power of Lu Yuntie's Thorny Vine, Lu Xiaotian used pills to exchange for several seeds of Thorny Vine and planted them inside the barrier. Using spirit stones, he hastened the growth of a large number...When Lu Xia Tian had repaired the Buddhist sect's restrictions, a thick layer of stone had already solidified on his body surface. Together with where he was sitting, it even formed a small hill.

This rock actually seemed to be merging with the rock layer of Luohu's body. Lu Xiaoteng was suddenly startled and wanted to break free, but a heavy force pushed back against him.

Lu Xia Tian suddenly realized that the mountain inside and outside the light and shadow Buddha's figure was part of Luohu's body. Although the light and shadow monk sealed Luohu here in the past, his own body was also countered by Luohu.

He had only stayed here for a few hundred years, and the surface layer of stone was only a few feet thick. That immense force already made Lu Xia Tian feel apprehensive. If this continued for some more time, Lu Xia Tian didn't know if he would still be able to escape unharmed.

Now that he understood the problem, Lu Xia Tian would naturally not sit idly by. He didn't want to end up like the light and shadow monk, his primordial spirit trapped here. In his years-long struggle against Luo Hou, he was gradually eroded. If it weren't for Lu Xia Tian's timely arrival, this remaining fragment of a split soul wouldn't have lasted much longer.

At this time, Lu Xia Tian exerted all his strength to break free from the shackles of the stone layer. Meanwhile, the powerful demonic energy carried by the immense force was also transmitted through the stone layer to Lu Xia Tian's body. The two forces were locked in a fierce struggle against each other.

"Little one, daring to oppose this ancestor, don't you know your own weight" A faint voice echoed into Lu Xiaitian's mind from within the stone layer.

"Luo Hou" Although Lu Xiaotian knew who the other party was, he couldn't help but ask out loud. After all, in terms of the legendary Asura lineage, Luo Hou was a peerless demon king, and this naturally made him feel uneasy.

“It’s you, the ancestor!” Luo Hu sneered. “How about a deal You help me escape this predicament, and I, seeing that you have some talent in cultivation, will take you as my subordinate warrior in the future”

“I have my own way, there’s no need for you to worry about it.” Most demon clans are ferocious and vicious. Luohu inherited the lineage of the Demon Ancestor, his mind is cunning and unpredictable, his methods of transmission are something even Lü Xiaottian couldn't foresee. How could Lü Xiaottian easily believe what he said

“You're beyond ignorant! No wonder I, your ancestor, will turn you into a pile of stones.” Rahu let out a cold snort. “That bald donkey Shi Xingkong lost his life and is left with only a wisp of soul struggling to maintain existence. It can’t hold me back for long. This ancestor will eventually break free. You, a mere ant, think you can imprison me You're delusional!”

“If you truly have the ability to defeat me, you wouldn't waste your words on such petty chatter. Let us settle this with a demonstration of true skill.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head. He had received a transmission from Shi Xing, the monk within the shadow of Rahu, which included Shi Xing’s Buddhist practice and the Buddhist prohibitions. These prohibitions were personally repaired by him, so he understood their power well. Even if Rahu wanted to attack him, the amount of power he could use would be relatively limited.

Moreover, Lu Xia Tian was confident that even Luo Hu didn't know his true strength. Just because he repaired the Buddhist restrictions, he thought his strength mainly came from there, a big mistake.

"Boy, you're small but your mouth is big. This old ancestor wants to see how you can escape from this old ancestor's magic stone world!" Luo Hu snorted coldly.

"The Stone Demon Realm That's a good name." The voice from within the mountain gradually grew hollow.

"Eh" Luo Hu let out a cry of surprise. The space within the stone layer twisted, as if about to devour the stone layer itself.

“But a mere Arhat realm little crawler has actually comprehended the wonders of space, breaking open this ancestor’s Demonic Stone Realm! How strange and peculiar!”

Luo Hu was astonished, for Lu Xia Tian's main body had already escaped from the thick stone layer. If relying on brute force, it would have taken Lu Xia Tian quite a lot of effort to escape, even just using his mana. However, Lu Xia Tian practiced more than just one divine ability. In this situation, using spatial power to escape was the most suitable choice. But this was also due to the stone layer not being too thick. If it were like the monk's shadow body with a mountain-like stone layer, Lu Xia Tian would find it as difficult to escape as climbing to heaven.

"Just barely touched the threshold of space's mysteries," Lu Xia Tian stood outside the newly shattered stone.

“Are you truly going to become an enemy of this ancestor” Luohou’s voice grew dark. Lu Xiaoteng’s magical power was far more profound and pure than that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators. In this realm or the Spirit Realm, reaching such a level without ascending to the Immortal Realm was already an anomaly. Even when he was trapped, his divine sense could not enter Lu Xiaoteng's body to see what mysteries were hidden within his cultivation techniques.

At this point, Lu Xiaoteng had already escaped. Especially since he was able to repair the Buddhist sect's restrictions here, if Luo Hu truly devoted himself to staying and fighting him to the death, he wouldn't know how dire the situation would become. Under these circumstances, with no other external forces involved, the only option might be to consume his lifespan until Lu Xiaoteng's life ended. But who knows what other changes might arise over so many years

"It's not that I want to deliberately make an enemy of the Demon Ancestor. As long as the Demon Ancestor agrees to do something trivial for him, I won't interfere with the Buddhist restrictions here." Lu Xia Tian said.

"What's up"

"If the Demon Ancestor were to break free one day, I hope he would be able to stop the rampant demonic energy. This world is extremely fragile and I fear it wouldn't be able to withstand the raging demonic flames when the Demon Ancestor escapes." Lu Xiaodao said.

“That’s a small matter indeed. If you were willing to do more for me, I could ask you to help me break the seal outside. ” To his surprise, Luohu laughed heartily, “Unexpectedly, there's another turn in this story.”

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

"I'm afraid I can't do that. As a follower of Shi Xing, making private deals with the Demon Ancestor goes against my original intentions. However, there's nothing more I can do for him. At most, we'll just avoid helping each other from now on. As for when the Demon Ancestor escapes his predicament, it depends entirely on his own abilities." Lu Xiaotian shook his head.

“Well then, you win. I agree to your terms.” Though Luo Hou was not entirely pleased by this outcome, it was the best he could hope for.

Although the agreement with Luohu was merely verbal, Lu Xia Tian did not doubt that Luohu would easily break his promise. Right now, for both Luohu and Lu Xia Tian, reaching a compromise was also the best result Lu Xia Tian had anticipated. Lu Xia Tian wouldn't stay here just to seal Luohu. This also meant that his strength had reached its limit.

Given his current state, it's impossible for him to outlast Luohu in a battle of lifespans. The latter has lived for countless years. If he were to die before his lifespan ran out, the problem wouldn't be solved fundamentally. Moreover, he wasn't sure what Luohu's current condition was. His soul might have been severely injured, or perhaps his wounds were far worse than he imagined. However, Lu Xia Tian felt that these matters were none of his concern. He had no intention of engaging in a desperate fight with Luohu just because the situation was dire. Even if the high monk Shi Xing realized the danger and passed on his mantle to someone else before his final moments, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't have known beforehand. And even if he did know, he would never risk his life against an unknown injured Luohu out of respect for Shi Xing's last wishes.is time, Lu Xiaoteng also had a lot on his hands. One was to refine the final step of the Bagua Lock Demon Array, so that it could exert its full power of 100%. The other was to hasten the ripening of...
