Chapter 5399: Declining Power
uldron pillars. The Nascent Soul transformed into a dazzling light, so bright that it was impossible for ordinary eyes to see. The light flickered once before disappearing into the three blood cauldr...“Bad!” A wave of terrifying pressure swept over, and Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu suddenly felt like they were under the claws of a ferocious beast.
The attack just now was truly fierce. After being turned around and used by the old demon Kong Rong, its power became even greater than before.
Caught off guard, the two could only hastily block the attack. As for the shadow of the crystal coffin falling from above, it was impossible to attend to at that moment.
What a clever tactic. Lu Xia Tian's eyes flickered. These two crystal coffin shadows weren't using spatial jump, but were utilizing the restrictions of this place to absorb the power of the crystal coffins little by little and converge it.
In this case, unless the other party suddenly erupts, Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji would find it difficult to notice.
Both sides fought, their battle raging across the landscape. The power within the crystal coffin erupted constantly, with most of it being blocked by Lu Xiaoteng and Yan Ji. However, under such chaotic circumstances, a small portion of the power spread out unnoticed.

At this moment, the sudden attack unexpectedly achieved its purpose, even Lu Xiaoxiao and the real Yan Ji were caught off guard for a while.
Bang, bang! After the attack was deflected back by Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu Sheng, the crystal coffin shadow that had been struggling to hold on seized the opportunity and surged down, forcing the two of them to plummet from the sky at high speed.
Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu, the monk, both turned pale. If no one intervened, they might be able to make it through this ordeal with all their strength, at best, resulting in serious injuries and retreating from the battlefield.
A Half-Step Demon Emperor level powerhouse was indeed terrifying. Ji Ting's eyes held a trace of unwillingness, it wasn't that he was worried about being killed on the spot.
Lan Yunzhu's side might face some difficulties, but Ji Ting is confident that he can withstand this blow. However, due to his severe injuries, he is unable to participate in such an unprecedented battle.

At that moment, amidst the clash of thunder and wind below, a five-colored giant hand appeared out of thin air, rising from the ground to meet the shadow of the crystal coffin. The collision between the two resulted in the five-colored hand shattering with a deafening roar. However, this brief delay was all that was needed.

In a flash, Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu emerged from under the shadow of the crystal coffin.

“Such a formidable Five Elements Formation. Where did this formation originate from” A voice, filled with both anger and curiosity, echoed from within the crystal coffin.
“Born from the Five Elements, it has no specific origin.” Lu Xia Tian slightly relaxed his breath.
He wasn't lying. He originally planned to base the formation on the Five Elements Confinement Array, with a dozen or so simpler but complementary formations interwoven within it.
These arrangements, however, were not fully formed when they were forced to be used in advance. Fortunately, they managed to stop two coffin shadows. But looking at the current situation, Kong Rong old monster is not a loser either. The other party had already noticed his five-element formation and could further injure Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu monk. Even if the plan failed, taking a step back also forced him to reveal his five elements. Perhaps the other party had already anticipated this outcome. Having experienced the battles in the other two places, Kong Rong old monster has become much more cautious.
During the battle, they also started using these subtle tricks. The opponent had put a lot of effort into attacking Ji Jiao and the two of them, but to no avail. This shows that Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu's monk also caused a certain amount of trouble for Kong Rong Lao Gui.
Choose soft persimmons, the other party is already struggling under their four-person siege, otherwise they wouldn't act like this.
However, even though Kong Rong the old monster was struggling, he and the several beauties were still unable to force out the other party's weakness.
It's hard to say when the other party might show fatigue, in what way, or if they're just trying to mislead.
Having been reminded by the beautiful woman just now, Lu Xia Tian raised his hands, and a giant tripod phantom shrouded the crystal coffin. It was the phantom condensed from the Empty Heavenly Emperor Tripod.
The opponent's spatial array formation was too sophisticated. Besides the Empyrean Heaven Tripod, Lu Xia Tian had no good way to deal with it.
Kong Rong, the old demon, naturally wouldn't let Lu Xia Tian have things his way. A bone claw shot out from within the crystal coffin and plunged directly into the phantom of the child cauldron. With a swirl, the phantom was instantly ripped to shreds.
It seemed that the Old Demon Kongrong was truly afraid of Zideng's phantom. Lu Xiaoteng raised his hands and three more phantoms of Zideng floated out from the air at the same time. The Old Demon Kongrong used the same trick again, wanting to destroy all the phantoms of Zideng, but Lu Xiaoteng wasn't fighting alone. Before he could even call out to Yanji, she had already moved. With a wave of his hand, ten black suns carrying intense lightning shot forward with great speed.
The shadows of swords and the gleam of blades flashed everywhere. Ji Ting, Lan Yun Zhu Seng were both becoming more and more valiant in battle.
Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji stood at the front, bearing the brunt of the pressure. The two could unleash themselves completely.
Even if their power doesn't reach the level of Immortal Lords, the combined force of the two would still be formidable. For a powerful being like Kong Rong, they couldn't afford to completely disregard it.
With a series of sudden explosions, Yanji also let out a muffled grunt, colliding with the palm prints that shot out from within the crystal light. Even her magical bat blade was scattered several times.
The ten black suns also fractured into four or five pieces one after another.
With a clang! The crystal coffin's body vanished in a flash, and the next instant, it smashed towards Lu Xiaoteng's chest, intending to strike him hard while he was summoning the image of the Zi Ding cauldron.
Kong Rong Old Monster's speed was too fast, Lu Xia Tian couldn't dodge in time.
The power of the Five Elements flowed before him, instantly forming several barriers. However, Kong Rong's attack was too powerful, breaking through several defenses in succession. The opponent's move was aimed at a sure victory.
With a clang! In desperation, Lu Xia Tian wielded the Halberd of Heavenly Canvas to clash with his opponent. A force almost unrivaled surged forth, overwhelming the Halberd of Heavenly Canvas and sending it flying away.
"Thunder Roars Nine Heavens!" "Sword Rises, Clouds Surge!" Ji Ting and Lan Yun Zhu Seng's spear light and sword shadow joined forces, standing before Lu Xia Tian, once again constructing a defensive barrier for him.
This time, the formidable Kongrong Old Demon gathered his strength and was not about to back down easily. The lid of the crystal coffin suddenly slid out with immense force, scattering the spear light and sword shadows flying away. The momentum continued unabated as it slammed towards Lu Xiaotian.

And within the crystal coffin, a skeletal hand struck out, shattering three black suns and meeting Yan Ji with a palm strike.
The enchanting beauty retreated gracefully, sustaining only minor injuries. However, Lu Xiaoteng on the other side was thrown back by a loud boom as space fluctuated around him.
A curtain of five-colored light suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the attack. The crystal coffin lid was embedded within the five-colored light curtain, narrowly preventing it from being shattered. Lu Xia Tian wiped the blood from his lips. This near encounter had been incredibly dangerous. If he hadn't previously infused the power of the Five Elements into himself during his battle with the old monster Kong Rong, Kong Rong wouldn't have taken him seriously, and this blow would have inflicted serious injury. Even Ji Ting and the others might have suffered worse consequences.
The current situation is fine. Apart from Lu Xiaitian himself suffering some injuries, the three Yánjī are still unharmed.
After the opponent's counterattack this time, Lu Xiaoteng and Yanji and others couldn't help but feel their hearts sink to the bottom of the valley.
This is a line break.
This fiend's power is beyond imagination, even with the four of them joining forces, they still can't suppress it.
“Just a few youngsters dared to force this Emperor out of his crystal coffin, you are quite impressive.” An old man with a skeletal frame adorned with silver ribbons and wearing a brown robe walked out of the crystal coffin.
The opponent was so thin that he looked like he could be blown over by a gust of wind, but the powerful aura emanating from him suppressed even the combined might of four strong individuals, including Lu Xia Tian and Yan Ji.
"To die old is to be a thief, you old monster, since you're already in your coffin, why do you have to come back and cause trouble"
The enchantress's garments fluttered gracefully. Even though the aura of the ancient fiend Kong Rong was stronger, it could not conceal the enchanting presence of the enchantress.
“Such arrogant words, your aura is not weak. Even among demon lords, your strength would be considered top-tier. Sadly, you met this emperor today. Now, this emperor will send you both on your way together.”
Kong Rong Lao Gui let out a cold smile, the four juniors before him were truly infuriating. They had actually been able to fight him to this point.
Apart from injuring Lu Xia Tian, he made no other progress. Although it seemed that he wasn't injured, the situation can't be calculated this way.
Lu Xiaitian's defense and recovery ability were the strongest. This level of injury did not have much impact on his combat power. However, he was forced out of the crystal coffin by Zi Ding's virtual shadow.
Now Kong Rong Lao Gui has no way out. He must either kill all four of these men, most importantly taking Lu Xia Tian's life.
Even though Yan Ji might be slightly stronger than Lu Xia Tian, her value to Kong Rong Lao Gui is considerably less.
If there are no other choices, any of the four can win. If there are choices, the first choice is Lu Xiaotian, followed by Yanji, then Ji Ting, and finally Lan Yunzhuseng.
If he cannot plunder enough blood essence and Qi, the battle after that will most likely lead to his complete annihilation.
“Phantom Shadow!” A raspy voice echoed as Kong Rong, the old monster, either crossed his body or took a step forward. His body split into seven parts, instantly encircling Lu Xia Tian and the four Yan Ji with his own power.
The beautiful woman, of course, would not be imprisoned. At this time, the shattered black sun took shape again, smashing head-on into the surrounding Kunpeng old monsters' clones.
The old monster Kongrong stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the ten black suns were attacked, causing their forms to become unstable.
The beauty's face changed. The Kong Rong monster's body split into seven parts. It was impossible for each part to be the true body, they must have been a combination of real and fake. She couldn't tell which was real or fake at that moment, so she could only use magic fire to attack them one by one.
But these ten rounds of dark days were almost simultaneously attacked, and the pressure she endured was beyond her expectations and capacity. A fair and beautiful face instantly turned red.
"Lu Xiaozi, hurry up! I can't hold out against this old monster's attacks any longer." Yan Ji urged him in a hurry.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"He's here." Kongrong, the old monster, was forced out of the crystal coffin. This time, his movements were even more fierce than before.
A gigantic Tai Chi diagram of yin and yang spread outwards from Lu Xia Tian, supportimg part of the pressure when Shi Lun Mo Ri was almost at its limit.
Kong Rong, the old monster's cultivation was too high, Lu Xia Tian also couldn't tell which one was the true body, he could only use this all-round defense method to help Yan Ji relieve pressure.
This is the end of a paragraph.
As for Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu, the monks were poised and ready, not rushing to counterattack. Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji, the two could conduct a full defense, both with powerful enough strength. At this time, Kong Rong Lao Gui's methods were very strange, and it was impossible to determine his true identity. If Ji Ting and the others attacked rashly, it would be useless. They could only wait for a while.
...When Kong Rong Lao Gui was forced to reveal his true form, or Yan Ji and the two tested each other's strength and weakness before directing their attacks.
“Kong Mie Zhan!” The seven old monsters of Kong Rong were expressionless, and simultaneously swung their hands downward.
Seven sword shadows converged in an instant, and as the blades passed through the black sun, the lightning contained within it was consumed at a startling speed.
Lu Xia Tian's control over the Yin Yang Taiji diagram also quickly became faint. At this time, Lu Xia Tian was bearing no less pressure than Yan Ji. His face was also flushed red with effort.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This is just the beginning, streaks of faint sword shadows descend relentlessly, giving neither Lu Xia Tian nor Yan Ji a chance to breathe.
The opponent's cultivation was too high, and with a full-power strike, they directly suppressed Lu Xiaotian and Yanji.
Under this extreme pressure, Lu Xiaoteng felt a terrifying sense of suffocation. The power of the Five Elements Law that he was most skilled at was bearing this terrible weight and was on the verge of collapse at any time.
Since he grasped the essence of the Five Elements' interaction, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Even though Kong Tianji had been stronger than him before, he couldn't break through his Five Elements Law奧義.
The old monster Kong Rong before me seemed so nonchalant. This old monster is truly terrifying.
When Lu Xia Tian also felt extremely troubled, a giant tree phantom grew frantically from within the Taiji diagram.
The gigantic tree's illusory branches and roots, like needles and thread, stitched the fractured Yin-Yang Taiji diagram back together, greatly increasing its internal cohesion. Even so, the pressure Lu Xia Tian endured was terrifying. Sword shadows slashed down, Kong Rong, the old monster, simply condensed spatial power into the sword shadows. Waves of compression and tearing, an overwhelming onslaught of sword intent roared towards him. Wherever the sword intent passed, nothing could withstand it.
The giant tree phantom continued to swell, the power of the Five Elements Laws intertwining with it. But such means were still insufficient to counter Kong Rong's old monster's methods.
After adapting to the imposing phantom of the giant tree, the latter soon began to crumble under the opponent's terrifying sword intent.

The beauty's black sun was slightly more tenacious, able to do relatively little under this immense pressure.
However, neither she nor Lu Xiaitian were the kind to give up easily. Even though they were suppressed by Kong Rong's methods, they would grit their teeth and persevere, and they did not allow Ji Ting and Lan Yunzhu Monk to act rashly.
These two people's strength is slightly weaker, but it has already become their last resort. Once they fully utilize it without forcing out Kong Rong's trump card, they will be even more passive, not to mention that they will put the two in danger.
“Lu kid, I have a Blood Ginseng of the Flying Dragon in my hand. If you and I both inject our power into it, we can increase our combat strength by 10-20% for a short time, and possibly turn the tide of battle.”
Even under heavy pressure, Yan Ji couldn't help but pale. Kong Rong, the old demon, was the most formidable opponent she had ever encountered in her life. This time, she was pushed to the brink of despair.
"Alright, senior, please feel free to try it." Lu Xiaoteng immediately nodded in agreement.
Kong Rong, the old monster, is simply too powerful. It's not advisable to take a risk now. We should wait until the opponent's advantage grows further. By then, even if we want to take a risk, there might not be an opportunity anymore.
Yan Ji's resolve in facing battle was no less than anyone present. Before Lu Xiaotian could finish his words, Yan Ji bloomed a hauntingly beautiful blood-colored demonic flower in her hand. She tapped the flower with a finger, sending a drop of blood into its heart. Lu Xiaotian also flicked out a drop of his own blood, and both moved with incredible speed, all within their control. Even Kong Rong, the old monster, wouldn't have been able to stop them in time.
