231: The fate of the Golden Core cultivator!

Fortunately, True Person Tianxing did not pay any more attention to him, but instead returned to the center of the Formation to preside over it, as if that strike had just been a casual action on his part.

"However, according to the last message sent by my main body, the golden book has not changed. I suppose True Person Tianxing should not have any malice towards me."

But this does not prove anything.

Now that he and his main body are in a state of lost contact, he can no longer know in time whether he made it onto the list later.

"Therefore, after earning enough in this round, I should stop!"

Since the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape has set its sights on him, his goal for this trip has been achieved.

Moreover, the resources obtained so far are enough for him to Cultivate, so there is no need to continue staying here.

As for this True Person Tianxing...

Although this Golden Core True Person has a gentle attitude towards him, Lu Ming has always judged others with the greatest malice.

Now that he has lost contact with his main body, who knows what this old monster who has Cultivated for several hundred years is thinking!

Therefore, he cannot go back to find his main body now; he must wait outside for a while longer and return when the time is ripe.

As for what "the time is ripe" means.

Lu Ming has a premonition that the final battle is coming.

After all, no matter how many Yao Beasts there are, they cannot withstand such endless consumption.

Otherwise, this Immortal City would have been razed to the ground by the beast tide a hundred years ago.

At this moment, outside the Immortal City, the corpses of Yao Beasts are piled up like mountains, layer upon layer, almost covering the entire earth.

The viscous blood has soaked into the soil, gradually accumulating from its initial scarlet color to an almost ink-black hue.

Fighting until now, more than half of the first-tier Yao Beasts have been lost, and even those Second-tier Great Demon have become listless due to the continuous days of fierce fighting, their combat power far less than before.

This is unavoidable; not only do they have to deal with Human Race Cultivators during the day, but they also have to guard against sudden deaths at night. It can be said that they spend every day in fear.

Even so, the fact that they can hold on until now is already because they are awed by the might of the third-tier Yao Beast and have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight to the death.

But this is almost at their limit; if it drags on any longer, the monster hearts will inevitably collapse!

Therefore, Lu Ming concluded that the final decision on the direction of the battle will only depend on those two Golden Core-level existences.

When that time comes, no one will have the leisure to pay attention to his side, and that will be the best time to sneak back.

For now, let's continue farming monsters!

"Interesting..."

A soft chuckle came from the center of the Formation.

True Person Tianxing withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to Lu Ming.

With his Cultivation base, he naturally saw through at a glance that the other party was not a living person, but a... puppet clone with quite creative ideas.

It was actually a product of combining the Puppet Dao and corpse refining techniques.

What is interesting is that the person behind the scenes who refined such an evil thing is currently saving people everywhere on the battlefield. This contradictory behavior actually aroused a trace of curiosity in him.

So he left a trace of Divine Thought on this puppet clone, intending to follow the vine to find the melon and probe the background of the person behind the scenes.

However, the other party was obviously extremely cautious and did not give him any chance to track them.

Since that was the case, True Person Tianxing could not be bothered to get to the bottom of it; to him, this matter was insignificant to begin with.

Moreover, he vaguely saw some of his own shadow from back then in that person.

In this Cultivation World where people are eaten without spitting out the bones, only by being as cautious as this can one walk far.

Perhaps one day, when the other party appears with their true body, he should address them as Fellow Daoist.

This is also the reason why he never thought about targeting this person.

Looking back on the path he had traveled, those who blocked his Dao path back then have all failed to enter Reincarnation and returned their Dao to Heaven.

When it comes to himself, why repeat the same mistakes and do such foolish things!

Thinking of this, he completely put the matter aside and instead turned more energy towards the distant Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape.

He could feel that the big guy was about to lose its patience.

Otherwise, why would it attack a Foundation Establishment junior.

Several more days passed.

The dark, oppressive beast tide began to gradually recede, no longer making it hard for people to breathe as it had before.

The remaining sporadic low-tier Yao Beasts could be easily dealt with just by relying on the Immortal City Formation.

Many Cultivators also began to withdraw from the front line and retreat to the rear.

It was just that there was no sign of relaxation on their faces; instead, their brows were deeply furrowed.

Because the upcoming battle did not belong to them!

Looking at True Person Tianxing at the central Formation hub, and that Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape, everyone's hearts were lifted.

This is the battle that determines their fate.

Whether True Person Tianxing kills the Demonic Ape and the Immortal City continues to expand its territory, or the Demonic Ape runs rampant and the beast tide sweeps over and swallows the Immortal City.

After all, there is no possibility of mediation between the two, because both sides have a natural, deep-seated blood feud.

You must know that the area where the Immortal City is located originally belonged to the Yao Beast groups of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

It was just that during the pioneering period of establishing Heavenly Star Immortal City, these Yao Beasts were slaughtered by Cultivators until they were driven to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to survive.

So this time, to put it mildly, it is a dispute over the Dao path; to put it grandly, it is a war between races!

If one side is defeated, the other will absolutely wipe them out completely.

Although the Cultivators had great confidence in True Person Tianxing, feelings of worry were inevitable, and everyone had their hearts in their throats.

Outside the city.

The Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape stood there like a mountain, its breathing causing the air to roar, and its scarlet eyes locked tightly onto the tiny figure in front.

True Person Tianxing's expression was cold, and a ring of stars appeared behind him, with starlight flickering on it, setting him off as if he were a god.

This was his Lifebound Treasure, named: circumference of heavenly stars ring!

It can attack and defend, a Golden Core supreme treasure that integrates attack and defense!

Man and beast did not say a word, and the great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

"Roar!!"

The Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape let out a roar, pounded its chest with both fists, and made a booming sound like war drums.

Then its giant feet slammed into the ground, and it soared into the sky!

Its huge body blocked the sky and sun, and its giant palm, carrying the power to destroy mountains and shake peaks, crashed down on True Person Tianxing's head.

This was the purest, most extreme power, enough to raze a hundred-zhang mountain to the ground!

True Person Tianxing did not retreat even half a step. The circumference of heavenly stars ring behind him brightened slightly, instantly reflecting several huge phantom stars surrounding his body, forming an indestructible star barrier.

"Dong—"

The Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape's giant palm slammed heavily onto the star barrier, emitting an extremely dull, loud noise, to the point that ripples appeared in the surrounding space.

However, this power, enough to shake mountains, was quietly dissipated by the Star Power circulating on the barrier!

A trace of astonishment flashed in the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape's eyes, but what followed was an even greater rage.

It threw both fists out, and the fist shadows poured down crazily like a meteor shower, each strike carrying the great power to shatter the earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound shook the sky. Under this storm-like attack, the star barrier fluctuated violently, and the starlight on it flickered uncertainly, but it remained firm and did not shatter.

"Is this the might of a Golden Core!"

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators showed fear and awe, but their movements were not slow, and they retreated rapidly.

Continuing to stay here, even just the aftermath could cause them internal injuries, and even those Qi Refining Cultivators were simply not qualified to watch the battle.

And the commotion here also awakened Lu Ming's main body in the Immortal Cave.

"Hmm? This commotion... has a Golden Core entered the fray?"
