e've known each other for many years. There is no need to fight to the death. You may go now. This old man will not make things difficult for you." A flicker of gloom crossed He Yin San Ren's eyes. Af...The Four-winged Mantis's attack was terrifying, with monstrous qi filling the heavens and earth. Even the dragons were afraid of this tempestuous demonic sea. Under the overwhelming might of the Four-winged Mantis, they were completely overshadowed. In their place was the Four-winged Mantis's boundless murderous intent and its omnipresent wind blades.
"It's still better than the worst-case scenario," Lu Xia Tian muttered to himself. In his worst-case planning, he had already prepared to deal with both the Shadow Scorpion King and the Four-Winged Mantis at the same time.
The Four Wings Mantis was an old fox, knowing that the Shadow Scorpion King wouldn't easily attack anyone unless the other party wanted to disrupt the Demon Lord's mission. So it instigated Lu Xia Tian to make a move, leaving the Shadow Scorpion King with no choice.
Both sides had their own calculations, and the Four-Winged Mantis wasn't wrong in its strategy. It's just that their calculations differed. Under these similar conditions, neither side could gain much advantage through calculations alone; they were all trying to create a situation more favorable to themselves. After all, those who could cultivate to this level were old monsters who had lived for many years. It was difficult for them to make some low-level mistakes. In the end, it still came down to the strength of both sides.
Relying solely on his own strength, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't dare to easily target the Four-Winged Praying Mantis. However, the battle where he killed Ye Qian Xun's Lotus Avatar did bring him significant gains, especially the Devouring God and Swallowing Demon Crossbow Array and the Hakki Star Origin Mountain Shaking Array, two powerful formations. These greatly enhanced Lu Xia Tian's combat power.
Since he had already made the decision to strike at the Four-Winged Mantis, Lu XiaTian held nothing back. He extended his hand and pointed into the void, unleashing countless sword qi that clashed with the opponent's wind blades at an astonishing rate. In terms of cultivation and magical power, the Four-Winged Mantis was still superior to Lu XiaTian, but its wind blades were intangible, while the sword qi came from ethereal flying swords. The two forces met in a fierce stalemate.
Sword qi and countless wind blades vanished into nothingness one after another. At the same time, Lu Xia Tian directly stretched out a battle flag. The battle flag fell from the void, like a beam of light, converging countless brilliant starlight, suddenly illuminating this gray-toned demon sea, making it shine brilliantly.

This demonic sea, ravaged by whirlwinds for countless years, has been devoid of stars and moon, only shrouded by an endless storm. But the appearance of the banners now directly changed this celestial landscape. A pillar of starlight rose from the sea, piercing through the clouds and connecting heaven and earth. Even after tearing open the clouds, one could faintly see the starlight in the void connected to this pillar.
"Formation!" The Four-winged Mantis' eyes narrowed. He thought to himself, *No wonder this human boy dared to attack me at this time. There must be another trick up his sleeve.* This formation was far from complete, but even just the phenomenon caused by this formation banner was enough to startle the Four-winged Mantis. If the grand formation were to be completed, who knows how powerful it would be.
The four-winged mantis's killing intent grew stronger. The dragon-patterned dark crystal was now in Lu Xia Tian's hands. Right now, the Demon Monarch already placed great importance on Lu Xia Tian. If they waited until Lu Xia Tian advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he feared he would have no hope left. Just from what he saw now, it was already so impressive. What would happen in the future
Although this large formation is formidable, with the four-winged mantis's keen eyesight, it can naturally be seen that it takes a certain amount of time to fully set up. It's not an inanimate object and would not just sit idly by while the opponent sets up the formation.

The praying mantis's scythe-like double legs crossed in a single strike, a cross blade aimed at Lu Xia Tian. As the cross blade passed through the mirror, it almost split the emptiness into several disconnected parts.
Witnessing the Heaven-Splitting Earth-Shattering strike of the Four-Winged Mantis, Lu Xiaoteng's demonic energy surged behind him. Compared to the Four-Winged Mantis', his demonic energy was far less pure, vast and complex beyond measure, yet astonishingly well-integrated. It gave the Four-Winged Mantis, even the hidden Ban Chi hiding nearby, a sense of facing millions of demons simultaneously.
In his early years, Lu Xia Tian had fought against the Shadow Scorpion King and had seen him use such divine abilities before. However, compared to now, his aura has surged significantly.
As the sky above was filled with streaks of blood, a monstrous creature with the head of a crocodile, the paws of a wolf, the body of a sturgeon, and scales as black as night roared out from behind Lu Xia Tian. Its ferocious roar shattered wind blades hundreds of miles around.
This blood-colored beast was formed by the fusion of a late stage Astral Armor Crocodile’s primordial spirit with that of an early stage demonic wolf.
Later, the spirit of the Xuanjia Carcharias from killing Ye Qianxin's lotus avatar was also obtained, and there was another one of the same rank, a flame-tailed hawk demon. It was also treated as one of Lu Xia Tian's trump cards.
This four-winged mantis's strength was clearly above the Shadow Scorpion King. As soon as he made a move, Lu Xia Tian also felt immense pressure. Facing such a powerful opponent, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't hold back any longer. He directly used the strongest fused demon spirit in his hands. As for the Flametail Falcon Demon, although it was also incredibly powerful, its attack and defense were still slightly inferior. Its advantage lay in its faster speed.
At this time, facing the four-winged mantis, his speed was obviously inferior. Once the Eight-Armed Star Origin Shaking Mountain Formation was activated, there was no turning back. The eight star origins were refined into one, and even if he gave up halfway, all eight star origins would be burned to ashes and could not be used again. For Lu Xia Tian, who was about to enter the Nether Demon Corpse Land, there was simply no time to refine another eight star origins.
The monster before him was precisely a Xuanjia Xuling Crocodile, the culmination of Lu Xiaottian's most painstaking efforts in refining his soul and tempering it. It was also the peak state Lu Xiaottian could currently wield. As for the Nine-Fusion Soul Beast, while it was also extremely rare, the primordial spirit of a lower-ranked monster, no matter how much it was tempered and refined, couldn't compare to this one in its later stage of integration.
The praying mantis suddenly leaped forward, but upon closer inspection, it was merely a green light and shadow shaped like a mantis. This mantis-shaped green light and shadow quickly joined the fray with the armored pangolin crocodile-alligator, but as just a mere glimmer, it was no match for the armored pangolin crocodile-alligator.
The four-winged mantis wielded its scythe-like arms, slashing forward in a flurry of strikes. Four or five streaks of light darted from various directions, converging on the armored carnosaur crocodile with menacing intent.
Six mantis-shaped green lights, swift as lightning, continuously charged towards the Xuanjia scaly wolf crocodile. Their sickle-like forearms slashed out fiercely.
The Xuanjia armored crocodile became increasingly ferocious in battle, roaring incessantly. It fought a fierce duel with six mantis-shaped green lights, causing the Yemo Sea to churn and boil. From the void to the Demon Sea, wherever it passed, the seawater parted automatically on both sides.
