ext!Those are the flying warships of the great cultivation sects, such as the Flying Heaven Battleships and Flying Sparrow Battleships. Most of the time, they are used for showmanship and intimidation...The air was filled with the ferocious roars of the Void-Devouring Ants. Buddhist monks chanted sutras, clashing with the swarms before them. At first, the number of ants that surged in was not large, and they were repeatedly crushed by the monks. However, every time they were eradicated, even more Void-Devouring Ants poured in. The swarm facing them now, after decimating a large number of Buddhist sub-temples, had grown to an unprecedented scale compared to before. They also possessed a considerable resistance to Buddhist techniques.

The fighting was so fierce that it surpassed any other battlefield. While the monks of the Buddha Sect from the Single-Form to the Combined Body Realm had initially gained an advantage against the demons in the Moonless Desert, the sudden attack by the Void Devouring Ant Swarm severed their connection with the main force, causing a desperate situation on the front lines.

In the absence of a Mahayana monk to intervene, no branch temple could withstand the surging ant swarm led by the Ghost Ant King.

At this time, all the Buddhist monks had retreated to their own sect, with no way out left.

A large number of Void-Eater Ants overwhelmed the assembled monks, and soon countless monks were being swarmed by the surging tide of ants. They fell to the ground, their bodies covered in ants, writhing in agony before even their bones were devoured by the insects.

“Amitabha Buddha, calamity, calamity…”

This is a blank line.

Countless monks chanted with grim faces, their expressions filled with sorrow. Under the surging tide of the Void-Devouring Ant swarm, they were trapped in a desperate situation. Yet, there was no sign of fear or panic as they retreated. Instead, they met their fate with unwavering resolve, ultimately unable to withstand the onslaught of the Queen Ant.

"Master and younger brother, retreat!"

“There is no way out.” Xiang Hua shook his head. Facing the oncoming swarm of ants, he did not resist, but allowed the Void Devouring Ants to land on him. Such a calamity was also caused by him. Perhaps dying in the ant's belly would be the best outcome for him.

xiang Hua closed her eyes, but the Void-Devouring Ants on her body didn't bite down. A mass of black ghost qi enveloped Xiang Hua entirely, but it was Su Qing who made the move again. In memory, Lu Shishu had only taken in Xiang Hua and Yu Xiaoqiao as disciples, and after arriving in this realm, it seemed that only Hong Yue inherited Lu Shishu's alchemy. Under such circumstances, Su Qing naturally couldn't let Xiang Hua suffer any harm.

> There were other monks who wanted to take Xiang Hua back, but they were quickly driven back by the surging ant horde.

“Amitabha Buddha, the Buddhist sect has endured countless calamities throughout history, but none compare to today!” The Five Great Monks who had trapped Lu Xia Tian’s main body within the great formation sighed in disappointment.

Lu Xiaoxian's mastery was formidable, but the Five Absolute Monks as the Buddhist sect's foundation, were not easily defeated by a single person. By this time, even he felt immense pressure fighting them. Without outside intervention, even with his understanding of the Mountain and River Dao realm, he would be suppressed like last time. If the Five Absolute Monks continued their assault, they could even refine him within the formation.

The swarm of Void-Devouring Ants that surged into the Astral Realm solved his immediate crisis. The Five-Sects Monk hesitated for a moment, and for Lu Xia Tian, this was an opportunity. Taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, he retracted the Seventh-Level Pagoda Dharma Form. Lu Xia Tian took the chance to fly to the edge of the formation and with a teleportation technique, escaped.

"Demon spawn!" the Five-Decree Monk roared, his fury surging. Each of them lunged forward, striking with a palm strike that flew towards their target.

"Lu Danwang, this king will help you hold back one of them, preventing them from forming a formation. The others will be up to you to handle." Right now, the ant swarm was already engaged in battle with the Buddhist monks, and the Ghost Ant King was also a Mahayana-level ghost creature. On its own, its strength wasn't particularly outstanding compared to ordinary enemies of the same rank. However, the Ghost Ant King's power also came from its swarm, so it couldn't be viewed with ordinary eyes.

At this time, the Void Devourer Ant King could naturally see that the key to this battle was not to allow the Five Absolute Monks to form a formation. Even though he had seen Lu Xia Tian's supernatural powers before, under the combined might of the formation, he could only struggle to maintain his position Even if he joined in, once they were completely enveloped within the formation, the difference would only be a matter of how long they could hold out.

"Let's fight first and talk later." Lu XiaTian didn't speak too definitively. There were four of the five Arhats, who were not to be underestimated. Now that he had met all four, there was no way for him to directly withdraw. Otherwise, if the Five Arhats arrived elsewhere, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.

A massive number of lesser Ghost Ants swarmed onto the Ghost Ant King, forming an ant worm crystal carapace that was much thicker than before. The Ghost Ant King, which had originally been just a few feet tall, grotesquely swelled to over ten meters in size. However, the Ghost Ant King's speed didn't decrease at all because of its size increase. With a mere flicker of a shadow, it shot towards the first stone Buddha.

Lu Xiaotian also closely followed, his Fang Tianhua halberd slashed through the void, mountains rose and fell, rivers surged, forming a barrier before the four stone Buddhas behind him.

The four stone Buddhas behind him simultaneously shot out a palm strike. Lu Xia Tian's body manifested the seventh-level Floating Pagoda Dharma Phase, intercepting two of the palms. The remaining two strikes landed solidly within mountains and rivers, causing an immediate collapse of the landscape.

At this time, massive swarms of ants had poured in. The Buddhist sect directly withdrew from the Sky Realm, because the Sky Realm was no longer just restricting the Void-Devouring Ghost Ants, but also the Buddhist monks inside. The two sides had already become a tangled mess, and there was little need to continue existing.

At this time, Buddhist monks, or even swarms of ants, were blood-red eyed. Whether it was Buddhist monks being swarmed and devoured by countless ghost ants, or ghost ants being suppressed and vaporized by the Buddhist monks into black smoke, or smashed into fragments by magic treasures.

All the elite disciples of the Buddhist sect were here. At this time, Gui Ant King was locked in a fierce battle with Lu Xia Tian and the Five Absolute Monks. Without Gui Ant King, though the Void Devouring Ghost Ants were incredibly powerful, they couldn't gain much advantage against the elite disciples of the Buddhist sect, even falling into a disadvantage at times. But the Void Devouring Ghost Ants were ferocious and didn't know what fear was. The death of their own kind and the blood of the Buddhist monks only further fueled these ghost ants to become more frenzied.

Further away, there was also a scene of utter chaos. Xiang Qingcheng worried about the situation of Ben Zong Lu Xiaoteng. Tongtian Demon Lord was also concerned about the battlefield here. Both sides fought their way forward, ultimately reaching the place where Du Bu Cheng Xian resided... Du Bu Cheng Xian qqtxt

They moved to a place not far from their original position, and could already faintly feel the fighting across the way, which was still above them. Xiang Qingcheng felt a little relieved in her heart. Although Lu Xiaottian was still at a disadvantage right now, he wasn't in immediate danger of death.

During the battle between the major sects at the ancestral temple of Buddhism, a great monk from the Mahayana sect passed through, causing mountains to crumble and stupas to collapse. Four palm prints converged and descended from above Lu Xiaoxian's head, pressing him down towards the ground. Four stone Buddhas did not give Lu Xiaoxian a chance to breathe, striking downwards from top to bottom, causing the ground within dozens of miles to sink.

Xiang Qincheng worried secretly in her heart. She hadn't seen Lu Xiaotien come out for a long time. Unfortunately, she was being held back by Kong Jie now and couldn't break free. Four stone Buddha imprints fell one after another, not giving Lu Xiaotien a chance to show himself. From afar, a few snowflakes drifted over, fluttering gently, but they gave the Mahayana cultivators a sense of invincible sharpness. As for cultivators below Mahayana, they couldn't see the power of this flying snow, only feeling it was no different from ordinary snowfall.d out, so we have to brew more. Come back when the next batch is ready." A lazy voice, punctuated by burps, echoed from within the distillery."Could it be that your wine shop has absolutely no stock"...
