But immediately, that Mysterious Armored Goddess once again walked out of the black fog with a sword in one hand and this small black bottle in the other.
Judging from the powerful aura she was currently emitting, the severe injury she suffered at the hands of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch earlier had already been completely healed within the black fog.
Immediately afterwards, with a “zheng” sound, the Divine Maiden in Mysterious Armor activated the flying sword in her hand, and with a single strike, carrying sword shadows formed by the black fog all over the sky, it lashed out at the huge avatar of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch like a surging wave.
In the critical moment, a bamboo slip flew and landed in front of the avatar of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch. At the same time, only the voice of the Tower Lord of the Legacy Pearl could be heard shouting loudly：
”Restore to the original owner！”
As soon as the voice fell, the original strike that the avatar of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch suffered from the Immortal-Slaying Platform was returned to the Divine Maiden in Mysterious Armor intact.
So with a loud “boom” sound, the flying sword sacrificed by the Divine Maiden in Mysterious Armor was split apart in the air by an axe shadow.
Even the main body of the Divine Maiden in Mysterious Armor was forced to continuously retreat by this strike.
However, Xu Taiping and Huang Laodao could clearly see that after the Tower Lord of the Legacy Pearl used this true word through the avatar of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch, the huge map of the ten thousand li rivers and mountains above his head was significantly dimmed by several points.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping muttered：
”Senior Li Daoyan has obviously restrained his sharpness a lot. It seems that he has listened to what you said, Senior Huang Lao. At present, he is more assisting Yunhe and Senior Legacy Pearl in repelling the backlash force of the main body of the Yuan Lord.”
Elder Huanglao nodded upon hearing this and said：
“That’s right, but clearly, the two of them won’t be able to hold out against the Yuanzhu for long.”
As he said this, Elder Huanglao turned his head and looked at Xu Taiping, then asked via voice transmission：
“How is the growth progress of the Earth Fruit Lotus Seed？”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping looked towards the bottom of the water.
This body of water wasn’t very deep. He could see at a glance the lotus seed that had already taken root in the mud at the bottom of the water and the Streamer Candle that he had placed beside the lotus seed.
The reason for placing the Streamer Candle at the bottom of the water was that once the candlelight enveloped them, they wouldn’t be able to see the situation outside.
So for the time being, he could only let the Streamer Candle shine solely on the Earth Fruit Lotus Seed.
After seriously sensing for a moment, Xu Taiping then looked up at Elder Huanglao and said, “It should be able to bear the first golden lotus very soon.”
And just as he was speaking, the Earth Fruit Lotus Seed at the bottom of the water, as if it had devoured enough spiritual energy from the Xi Soil, began to grow at a visible speed.
In just a few short breaths, a green lotus leaf grew on the water surface.
This speed was significantly much faster than what Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue had estimated initially.
Just as Xu Taiping was looking surprised, the voice of Fairy Lingyue suddenly rang out in his mind—
“Taiping, the Xi Soil occupied by the Yuan Lord seems to be actively pouring power into the Earth Fruit. Therefore, the growth rate of the Earth Fruit is much faster than we expected.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart was first delighted, but then he asked Fairy Lingyue very vigilantly：
“Sister Lingyue, is this situation good or bad？”
In his opinion, if this situation is only beneficial and has no disadvantages, Fairy Lingyue will definitely not specifically remind him like this.
Fairy Lingyue quickly replied to Xu Taiping：
“This may not be a good thing.”
Fairy Lingyue then explained to Xu Taiping：
“Although the Xi Soil is helping the growth of the Earth Fruit, it has been detained by the Yuan Lord for hundreds of thousands of years, and every move of it must be under the surveillance of the Yuan Lord.”
“So it is very likely that this will interrupt the deep sleep of the Yuan Lord.”
“After all, the existence of the Earth Fruit has directly threatened the foundation of the Yuan Lord.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly tightened.
And at this time, Fairy Lingyue said again：
“Regarding this matter, all we can do is to make preparations in advance to deal with the possible backlash of the Yuan Lord at any time.”
Xu Taiping nodded and immediately transmitted the sound of this matter to Huang Laodao.
At present, because he has to divert his attention to feed the Earth Fruit with the power of his soul, so for many things, he asks Huang Laodao to communicate with the Green Pupil Evil Monarch and the others on his behalf.
When Huanglao Dao heard this, he immediately frowned and said：
“Xirang actually takes the initiative to pour spiritual power into the Earth Fruit. It seems that it regards the Earth Fruit as a life-saving straw.”
While thinking like this, he began to inform Qingtong Xie Jun of the abnormality of Xirang and the Earth Fruit.
And what Qingtong Xie Jun responded to Huanglao Dao was just a sword cry.
However, after this sword cry, the offensive of the three of them against the Mysterious Crystal God and the Goddess was obviously much faster.
In less than half a stick of incense, the Goddess and the God had been severely injured at least three times.
During this period, there was no abnormality on the side of the Yuan Lord.
And the lotus seed transformed by the Earth Fruit finally grew the bud of the first lotus flower from the water.
Seeing this flower bud, both Xu Taiping and Huanglao Dao let out a long sigh of relief.
Next, as long as Qingtong Xie Jun and the others stalemate for a while longer with that clone of the Yuan Lord the Earth Fruit will definitely be able to successfully give birth to three, or even six golden lotuses.
By then, they will no longer be so passive.
“Lad, take this.”
At this time, Huanglao Dao suddenly handed a Martial Luck Tablet to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping took the Martial Luck Tablet, looked at the words “Martial Luck Prosperity” engraved on the tablet, and then thanked Huanglao Dao：
“Thank you, senior.”
The reason why True Monarch Yunhe and the Master of Yizhu Tower were able to withstand a blow from the Immortal-Slaying Platform before was largely because they had the protection of the Martial Fortune Talisman of the Huanglao Sect.
The Huanglao Sect shook his head and said：
“This Martial Fortune Talisman was refined by the old man using the national fortune of the Great Chu in Youyun Sky for ten years. The current situation is unclear, so you should take it for self-defense first.”
“The two Qi Fortune Talismans that the old man is going to refine next, one is called ‘Once in a Thousand Years’ and the other is called ‘Turning Bad Luck into Good Fortune’, which will exhaust the Qi fortune that the old man has collected in his entire life. This is the real thing that can be used.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s eyes lit up, and then he thanked the Huanglao Sect again solemnly.
And just as the two were talking, the second golden lotus also emerged from the bottom of the water.
At the same time, the first golden lotus began to bloom slowly.
This scene made Xu Taiping and the Huanglao Sect extremely happy.
However, just as the first golden lotus bloomed, the lake surface under the feet of the two suddenly trembled violently again.
An extremely violent fluctuation of breath began to spread out with the mysterious crystal head transformed by the Yuanzhu as the center.
At the same time, on the remaining half of the mysterious crystal head.
The eye that was originally closed suddenly opened.
“Boom！”
The moment the eyes of the Yuanzhu’s main body opened, a mysterious light shot out from the pupils, and then transformed into a huge demonic creature with a bull’s head and a human body, appearing in the sky above this piece of heaven and earth.
The eyes of the Yuanzhu then closed.
Now let’s talk about this demonic creature with a bull’s head and a human body.
Its body length is at least thirty zhang, and its naked body is covered with strange runes.
At the same time, in its hands, one hand is holding a long knife, and one hand is holding a purple-gold bell.
Even more strangely, after it manifested its form, it did not attack the Qingtong Evil Lord and the others like the goddess and the divine being before, but roared and rushed towards Xu Taiping and Huang Laodao with the long knife and the bell in hand.
“Boom！”
Amid the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, in just an instant, the pig demon appeared above Xu Taiping’s head with a thunderous momentum, and without hesitation, shook the bell and slashed the long knife in its hand towards Xu Taiping below.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping’s heart trembled and he said：
“He is coming for the Earth Fruit！”
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping, who had already poured a gourd of Hidden Immortal Wine into his stomach, pressed one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, held up the ancient scroll of the Shurangama Sutra with one hand, and then roared and said：
“All beings are equal！”
While shouting loudly, he “whooshed” and pulled out the long knife at his waist, and instinctively assumed the stance of the first form of the Killing Blade, “Summoning the Gods”, and slashed at the long knife that the pig demon chopped towards him.
Immediately, in the ear—piercing sound of breaking the air, an extremely majestic decree resounded in this world —
”Kill！”
The next moment, Xu Taiping’s blade collided with that of the ox demon.
In the deafening collision sound, Xu Taiping’s saber momentum was about to be broken by the saber momentum of the ox demon summoned by the main body of the Yuan Lord.
But at this critical moment, a huge divine statue appeared behind Xu Taiping and stretched out a hand to press on his shoulder.
The eyes of Huanglao Dao beside him lit up and said：
”Divine Pushback？”
And Xu Taiping also felt a burst of joy in his heart and secretly thought that it must be the martial luck card of Senior Huanglao that had taken effect and summoned the image of the divine pushback for him.
”Boom！”
The next moment, with a loud air explosion, Xu Taiping’s saber momentum suddenly skyrocketed, and a golden saber shadow more than a hundred feet long, along with the Broken Water Saber in his hand, slashed towards the ox demon together.
”Bang！”
With this slash, the saber momentum of the ox demon was actually split and dissipated by Xu Taiping’s slash.
At the same time, the sharp blade of the Broken Water Saber split the chest of the Bull Demon entirely.
But just at the moment when Xu Taiping’s saber momentum was at its peak, the ancient scroll of the Shurangama Sutra in his left hand suddenly dimmed without any sign.
Immediately, the power of all beings being equal was released.
“Boom！”
A vast imposing manner, like a huge mountain, heavily pressed on Xu Taiping’s body, instantly crushing his saber momentum.
In the situation of losing the power of “all beings being equal”, Xu Taiping couldn’t even withstand the pressure of this Bull Demon.
“Swish！”
At the same time, the long saber in the Bull Demon’s hand, with a deafening sound of breaking through the air, slashed down towards Xu Taiping.
