with Lu XiaTian’s voice. He wasn't lying, or trying to deceive the Beginningless Sword Demon. In fact, after the Kongtian Ding merged with this chaotic expanse, Lu XiaTian himself didn't know how deep...Lu Xiaoxiao shivered on the rock, feeling time crawl by. The howling of wolves still echoed from above the cliff, but Lu Xiaoxiao wasn't sure if it was the same pack that had been there during the day. It was now night and the wind howled fiercely. If he tried to climb up, even a small slip could send him tumbling down to the bottom of the ravine, leaving him with no chance of survival.

In winter, people tend to eat more due to the need to keep warm. Not long after midnight, Lu Xiaoteng's stomach rumbled again.

Driven to desperation by hunger and cold, with nowhere else to turn for food, he found himself struggling terribly. He got up, wanting to pull down some more withered vines, even if it was just to roast them over a fire and dispel the chill.

Fortunately, the ivy on the rock wall had never been harvested. There were still plenty of vines left, enough to last for a while.

I built a small fire and felt the warmth radiating from it, which drove away some of the chill in my body. However, with the wind blowing, sparks flew into the air and danced around before drifting away, and the twigs burned quickly too.

Lu Xiaotian had no choice but to collect some more. After slashing another vine with his sword, Lu Xiaotian pulled hard, but it wouldn't budge.

He curiously leaned closer and discovered that under the vine, there were many tendrils that extended into the rugged cliff face. Even more astonishingly, the solid rock wall was slightly arched and covered with fine cracks. From one of the cracks, Lu Xiaoteng, using the faint firelight, saw something growing inside resembling a yam. Because it was hidden inside, he couldn't tell its size.

But this unexpected discovery made him pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly used his short sword to carefully pry at the surface rock. The surface stones seemed to be loosened by the fruit inside, and Lu Xiaitian didn't need much effort to pry away the opening stones next to it. Revealing a pale green, smooth-surfaced, goose egg-sized fruit inside.

Compared to the sweet potatoes, this fruit was much smaller. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. If it were as big as a sweet potato, he could fill his stomach, and he would have confidence to withstand the wolf pack on the cliff. But this egg-sized fruit could probably only last for a short time, it was just better than nothing. This small fruit wasn't hard to the touch, yet it was able to crack open the hard rock. After feeling disappointed, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but marvel at it.

Having learned from his previous experience, Lu Xia Tian searched amongst the vines once more, but still found nothing. He then retreated back to where he started. Using his short sword, he cut a small opening in the fruit. Under the flickering light of the leaping flames, a few drops of green juice seeped out from the incision. Just smelling it, he felt a refreshing and invigorating sensation.

The fruit's fragrance was intoxicating. Lu Xia Tian hastily put down his short sword and, not wanting to waste even a drop, used his tongue to lick the juice that oozed from it. A wave of sweetness blossomed on his tongue. This was the first time he had ever tasted such delicious fruit. Driven by hunger and cold, in three or five bites, he swallowed the whole fruit, peel and all.

It was good, but it wasn't filling. Lu Xiaoteng licked his lips, still tasting the aftertaste. But just as he was savoring the deliciousness of the fruit, he noticed that the flesh and juice of the fruit swallowed into his stomach had melted into a cluster of green light, converging together. The green light ball flickered between flashes, appearing majestic, mysterious, and illusory.

A azure light group rapidly spinning, the blue light flickering within, rapidly expanding into a vast, ancient and bizarre space. But this strange, unimaginably vast space was hidden inside Lu Xia Tian's abdomen.

Suddenly, a deafening boom echoed in his mind, like a thunderclap that left him momentarily disoriented.

Lu Xia Tian felt as if millions of waves were crashing in his body, a vast and boundless spiritual energy that seemed to be about to burst him open at any moment. Even in his hazy state, he could see a blue aura flickering around his body. His skin even began to bulge with fine cracks, like a porcelain vase that was not completely shattered.

The cracks spread out like a spider web. Blood seeped from the fissures constantly, and in a short moment, Lu Xiaoteng became a blood man.

What's going on here Could this fruit be poisonous Lu Xiaotien was terrified. The poison was too strong, wasn't it

The flow of qi within the body still clashed relentlessly.

Could this be the end

When Lu Xiaitian was in unbearable pain, a massive surge of energy shot straight into his sea of consciousness.

With a hum, Lu Xia Tian's eyes went black and he lost consciousness, falling into a deep coma.

But all of this did not subside. The bloodstains on Lu Xiaoteng's body still seeped out from time to time. However, these seeping bloodstains were not absorbed by the stones at all, but instead diffused into a thin mist of blood, swirling around Lu Xiaoteng's body. Under the illumination of the green glow, it appeared eerie and strange. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and thunder. Centered on Lu Xiaoteng's body, a huge vortex formed, and the white mist around it frantically surged towards the center of the vortex.

"How did I get here again" The blood dwarf in dark robes scowled at the small thatched hut before him.

A figure flickered, and the other three people arrived one after another. It was the old man in black robe, the bearded man, and the woman in green skirt. The woman in green skirt looked anxious and said, "We have been circling around here for seven or eight times, but we still haven't found the exit. The maze here is truly formidable. If this continues, I'm afraid we will be trapped to death here. Old monster Geng, you better think of a way!"

"This maze is so formidable, what can I do Right now, I can only take it one step at a time."

The black-robed elder's face was as gloomy as water. He had been trapped in this place for nearly two months. Anyone would be in a bad mood if they were in his position. If it weren't for the fact that within this great formation, he could occasionally find some food, he would probably have starved to death. After all, only cultivators at the Golden Core stage can cultivate their bodies to the point where they no longer need to eat grains and cereals.

Humph...

A pig's squeal rang out.

"Oh no, it's a horde of demonic boars!" Big Beard shouted as he saw the demonic boars leaping out from the bushes in the mist. These demonic boars, although also first-tier monsters, were equivalent to cultivators at the third level of Qi refinement. But their skin was thick and tough, making them more durable than some second-tier monsters. A first-tier monster is equivalent to a cultivator at levels one to three of Qi refinement. A second-tier monster is equivalent to a cultivator at levels four to six of Qi refinement. The impact force of the demonic boars is quite painful."

"Enough talk, just kill him." The goblin wasn't patient anymore. He reached into his storage bag and pulled out two silver discs. With a flick of his wrists, the discs whirred and shot towards the demon boar, spinning in mid-air.

A shrill scream pierced the air, " "

The demon boar was directly cut in half by the blades on the silver wheel.

The woman in the green dress stretched out her hands, and two purple sashes flew from her sleeves. They were several zhang long and wrapped around the two demon war hogs, tying them securely. With a flick of her wrist, the woman swung the sashes, sending the tied-up war hogs crashing into the ground with a loud bang. Two large pits appeared, and when the purple sashes retracted, the demon war hogs lay on the ground, blood streaming from their noses and eyes, twitching a few times before becoming motionless.

Humph...

A monstrous, boar-like creature with a body almost ten feet long emerged from the mist. Its fangs, dripping with blood, protruded from its mouth, and its eyes glinted menacingly. Following this giant monstrosity, dozens of other black, hair- bristling boars of varying sizes appeared in rapid succession.ignificant. 。Lu Xiaotian said 。“Could this be something you figured out on your own This... how is that even possible” 。Even though Hei Long had cultivated to this level, after hearing Lu Xiaoteng's...
