Chapter 5391: Temporary Compromise
much of a stir they would cause.Please note that I have only translated the content within the tags. I have not changed any HTML tags.“Alright, please wait a moment, esteemed guest. Within two hour..."Kid, you've got guts. I hope when I catch up to you later, your skills are as sharp as your tongue."
The old monster let out a cold smile, and after his voice faded, he continued to make his way towards Lu Xia Tian.
"This boy possesses extraordinary blood energy and even wields the Empty Heaven's Cauldron. If we can kill him, the benefits for us will be immeasurable, possibly even giving us a chance at rebirth."
The other person's aura allows us to both exist simultaneously. There's no need for us to keep draining each other like this.
Kong Tianji was extremely afraid of his ancestors, but he still underestimated the existence of this half-step Demon Emperor.
I originally thought that the other party, having lingered for so many years, would have little strength left even if they hadn't completely breathed their last. Perhaps the merging process between the two sides would be exceptionally dangerous, and the other party should still be unable to defeat him.
Just as they truly merged, Kong Tianji discovered that he had oversimplified things.
This demon's remaining power wasn't particularly strong. Under normal circumstances, Kong Tianji could easily kill dozens of enemies with this level of strength.
However, before this, Kong Tianji's pursuit was not to directly kill the old monster, but to merge with it.
Before the fusion, Kong Tianji had made many preparations. When the real fusion took place, Kong Tianji found that things were completely deviating from the original plan.
In order to inherit all the abilities of his ancestors, Kong Tianji opened the stone coffin using the ancient Soul Fusion and Spirit Integration Pill passed down through generations. He fused the two bodies together.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. When it was fused to the back, suddenly an inexplicable devouring force came from this old monster's body.
It seems that countless vortices of various sizes are within this old monster, constantly absorbing his original life force, and even his divine consciousness is being drawn away again and again.

When Kong Tianji suddenly woke up, he was startled. He immediately tried his best to stop the force pulling him in.
Kong Tianji also voluntarily underwent the fusion after taking the Soul-Melting and Spirit-Fusing Saint Body Pill. At this point, it was too late to turn back.
The elders of the clan, after absorbing the blood energy of Kong Tianji, also gradually grew stronger in their breath and their movements became larger. Even within their bodies, there was a hint of the aura of the Hunyuan Soul-Melting Holy Body Pill.

At this time, Kong Tianji finally understood the other party's deep scheming. He had already expected that there would be someone from the younger generation of the Kongying clan who would want to take him down.
The pill the other party took actually complemented Kong Tianji's pill very well, and to some extent helped the old monster suppress him.
When Kong Tianji reacted that it was a trap, he wanted to withdraw but it was impossible. However, as an existence of the Immortal Monarch level, Kong Tianji's life-saving methods were indeed not weak.
Even in such a highly unfavorable situation, after a period of rout, Kong Tianji also initially stabilized his position.
It's also because this old monster has been dormant for too long, becoming too weak. Kong Tianji only managed to snatch a sliver of life by desperately clinging on in death.
He spared no effort to merge with the old monster's body in order to inherit its potential and help himself break through the current limitations of his realm. It was not to sacrifice himself for the sake of the other old monsters of his clan.
At least it has stabilized its position initially, and it's not easy for the other side to completely eliminate him.

At this time, Kong Tianji was already at a disadvantage. Even if he fully devoured his opponent, the difficulty would be enormous, and he himself would be in a disadvantaged position. However, even in this situation, Kong Tianji still wanted to shift the blame as much as possible.
It would be best if we could swallow Lu Xia Tian and have him achieve symbiosis with the old monsters of his clan.
"You and I will eventually merge completely, so why bother with formalities" The old monster chuckled. "There's still a difference, you know. If you completely devour me, then I cease to exist. Even if this body could recover to its former glory as a half-step Demon Emperor, or even surpass it to become a true Demon Emperor, what would that have to do with me"
Kong Tianji let out a cold snort. The other party still dared to ask him to dedicate himself What a pipe dream.
"You have the upper hand now, there's no denying that. Wanting to completely assimilate and devour me isn't something that can be done in a short time. If you disagree, don't blame me for holding you back. By then, none of us will have an easy time."
“To want to jointly control this body with this Emperor is certainly unrealistic, but this Emperor has another solution, it depends on whether you agree.” The hoarse and aged voice pondered for a moment before saying. “What solution” Kong Tian Ji’s heart sank. Not sharing control of this body, everything he had done wasn’t all for this old monster. He didn't have much gain, but he almost got himself involved. This deal was simply a blood loss. “Back then, when this Emperor was severely injured, I predicted the possibility of falling into eternal ruin, so I made some preparations. The Soul Fusion and Spirit Integration Holy Body Pill is just one of them. If things go smoothly, everything will be fine naturally, if they don't go smoothly, there are backup plans.”
Though you, young one, are extremely greedy, your strength is truly not weak. In this Emperor's current state, it would be impossible to deal with you in a short time.
"Although it's not an insurmountable problem, this Emperor has prepared the Di Kui Split Body technique. I will use one of my arms as a split body, and you will be in charge of this split body. What do you think"
"If I disagree" Kong Tianji's heart sank.
He originally came for the Old Monster's body, but now he can only control one limb of his split personality.
According to the old monster, for now it's still mainly under his control, not entirely under his command.
This is even worse than his state when he was in the Kongying Clan, facing the pressure of his lifespan nearing its end. At least he could still act completely autonomously back then.
Now, even his movements were being restricted by this old monster. Kong Tianji felt that all his countless years of careful preparation and planning had become a joke.
"This Emperor only gives you a way out because you've made quite an effort for my return. It doesn't mean I will be coerced by you."
To become my most loyal servant and have a limitless future is not something everyone is qualified for. You are unwilling now, but when I have chosen someone else, you will have no opportunity at all.
The old monster chuckled, "Temporarily killing you completely is unrealistic. Even as long as you're inside his body, this Emperor wouldn't be able to completely block your influence over this body."
However, even if I banish you to one limb and temporarily separate your limbs, do you think you'll still be able to affect me"
Kong Tian was completely silent for a moment. This old monster was terrifying, having thought of every possibility before his silence and made targeted arrangements for each one.
Now no matter what choice he makes, his opponent has a targeted way to counter it. This means his chances of winning are extremely slim.
However, Kong Tianji being able to cultivate to such a level without the Heavenly Court or the demon world's enfeoffment, his mental state is top-tier among all realms.
If there were no courage to borrow life from heaven, how could one choose such a desperate measure of fusing with an ancient monster as the deadline approached It was just that the ancient monster's calculations were too deep, Kong Tianji made a blunder, but Kong Tianji himself was extremely proud. He was selfish and feared death, doing everything he could to prolong his own life. To this end, he even disregarded nearly 100 million of his people.
He would use every means possible to survive, but his pride would never allow him to become a lowly servant.
If even self-determination becomes a distant dream, and one cannot pursue their own path, what meaning is there in living countless eons
It's better to be a jade broken than a tile complete. Even if he loses to this old monster, Kong Tianji will not submit, nor will he give up any sliver of opportunity.
"Well then, senior's cultivation base and strength far surpass mine. He recently recovered his power, even impacting a higher realm. Being able to witness this moment of my efforts is also valuable." Kong Tianji sighed after much thought.
"That's right, to avoid distracting this Emperor at a critical moment, you should now take refuge on this Emperor's left arm for a while." The old monster chuckled.
Kong Tianji smoothly entered the old monster's left arm, but a restriction directly blocked him, preventing him from spreading throughout the body and affecting his actions at the crucial moment.
Although Kong Tianji appeared to be going smoothly, the old monster wasn't someone who would easily believe another's words. He would only truly feel at ease when he had everything under his control.

While the old monster and Kong Tianji were conversing, they were also leisurely pursuing Lu Xiaitian all the way.
This Canghai Ghost Void Formation is a formation passed down by the Kongying Clan. The old monster naturally wouldn't be unaware of it.
At this time, Lu Xia Tian was within the great formation. Countless void beasts were also charging at the formation, forming a certain degree of obstruction for the old monster. Even if he wanted to forcibly break in, he was unable to do so.
However, with his understanding of this formation, he could try to reclaim the formation and completely intercept Lu Xia Tian within this space.
Here, Kong Tianji and the old monster set an ambush. They concealed part of the process in which they fought Lu Xia Tian for the formation earlier.
At this time, Kong Tianji and the old monster lived together as one. When they competed for dominance, they had already engaged in fierce clashes with each other. Naturally, they were well aware of the formidable strength of the old monster's soul.
To say that the overall scale is not as good as Lu Xia Tian's freak, the refinement degree is slightly better. It's just that in the case that Lu Xia Tian has already mastered the control of the formation, it is much more difficult for the old monster to take it back compared to the defensive side. He doesn't think highly of the old monster's confrontation with divine consciousness within the formation, but he looks forward to this moment coming.
A powerful divine sense surged in, like quicksilver flooding into the formation. It started to vie for control of the formation, just like Lu Xia Tian had done before. The old monster considered himself an expert on the Canglan Ghost Void Formation, unmatched by anyone in the world. Facing a junior like Lu Xia Tian, he didn't need to directly fight; simply using his divine sense to seize control of the formation shouldn't be too difficult. However, when his divine sense entered the formation, the old monster was taken aback. The resistance he encountered was far greater than he had anticipated. Although the opponent's divine sense was slightly less refined than his, its scale surpassed even his peak state.
The old monster couldn't help but have some illusions for a moment, this was just a junior After a short lapse of consciousness, the old monster continued to confront Lu Xiaitian's divine consciousness within the formation. His understanding of formations was indeed far beyond what Lu Xiaitian could compare. Soon, he gained an advantage in several local nodes. But a new problem came soon. At this time, he fell into the same predicament as Kong Tianji. Even at his peak, his Yuanshen's scale was inferior to Lu Xiaitian's, let alone now.
At this time, his struggle for control of the formation was not as smooth as he had expected. With the means at hand, there was no way to stop Lu Xia Tian from moving away. "Good one, Dong Fang Dan Saint, with a mere Nascent Soul body reaching such a level, it's simply unheard of and unseen," the old monster muttered to himself. He had cultivated into a true dragon body but hadn't completely abandoned his original human form. Combining human and dragon, plus the amplification brought by the Fifth Grade Dan Saint, perhaps this was the only reason for such a situation to appear."That's right, the stronger you are, the greater your effect on this Emperor." Soon, the old monster chuckled again. The struggle for control of the formation was far less smooth than expected. As someone who had once been at the level of a half-step Demon Emperor, he wouldn't have only this means.
Since he couldn't control this formation, he might as well destroy it. Even the pack of void beasts before him would be a huge problem for Lu Xia Tian.
Even if celestial beings at high levels of cultivation were to face it improperly, they would still fall. One has to admit that Kong Tianji's setup is indeed quite effective.
Dealing with the old monster Lu Xiaitian doesn't require too much brainpower. Just adjust Kong Tianji's methods slightly.
Kong Tianji had previously been unable to break the formation, but the old monster could.
When he clashed with Lu Xiaitian earlier, the old monster also left a few tricks up his sleeve. So far, he hasn't trusted Kong Tianji, who seems to have surrendered.
At the same time as contact with Lu Xiaoteng, he could also withdraw at any time to guard against Kong Tianji's sudden attack.
He still had several restrictions on his left arm. Kong Tianji couldn't break through them in a short time, posing little threat to him. However, the old monster was always accustomed to nipping all crises in the bud.

At first glance, Kong Tianji remained perfectly still. The old monster felt a little reassured; perhaps this fellow was indeed willing to follow him after all.
“This formation was created by this Emperor many years ago. When creating this Canglan Ghost Kong Formation, a small gap was also left at the eye of the formation.”
If one's mastery of spatial laws or formations is even slightly lacking, they will be unable to perceive them. To my eyes, a seemingly solid defense formation would be nothing more than child's play. I could shatter it with a single finger.
In the void, a figure of an old man with snow-white hair appeared, his face full of wrinkles like old tree bark.
A pair of triangular eyes gazed playfully at Lu Xiaitian within the formation. Thousands of miles separated the inside and outside of the great formation, but their eyes met like lightning weaving together.
The old monster, with a flick of his finger, drew a faint rune that vanished into the void and drifted towards the great formation.
Suddenly, Lu Xia Tian within the formation felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. The Canglan Ghost Void Formation, which had originally seemed impenetrable, now appeared fragile and vulnerable under these strange glyphs, as if it could be shattered with a single finger.
The formation was imbued with spirit, and Lu Xia Tian as its controller felt it deeply. This old monster wasn't only skilled in spatial laws, his mastery of formations surpassed Lu Xia Tian's own by a considerable margin. Breaking this formation wouldn't be difficult.ed with the sea monster's primordial spirit, forming a giant beast that took dozens of steps in one stride.A blood-colored shadow flashed across the sky. 。The chimera, with the head of an elephant and...
