Armored Giant Centipedes.Here is the translation:***The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's ship unleashed another golden demon banner. In the void, teams of gold-green, double-winged spiders, each sever...During the confrontation just now, the Five-Element Yuanci Gold Armor had already sustained some damage. Without the power of this formation, it would be barely able to withstand the opponent's wind blade attacks. This Five-Element Yuanci Gold Armor would probably not last ten moves. My own safety might also be in jeopardy.

The Four-Winged Mantis's strength is significantly greater than the Shadow Scorpion King.

However, at this moment, the great formation was already complete. The formations that could be collected by Ye Qianxun's lotus avatar were not ordinary ones. The Guang Kai Giant gathered from the power of the stars became more and more valiant in battle. With his Fang Tian Hua Ji, he struck continuously, shattering all the wind blades shot out from the green giant's eyes. Then, with a single strike that resembled splitting the sky, he charged towards the Four-Winged Mantis.

Lu Xia Tian remained calm, but the Four-Winged Praying Mantis' mood was far from good. This formation, even with its power only just activated, had already caused such a situation. If time dragged on, things would only worsen.

The four-winged mantis vibrated its four wings on its back, seeking a way to break through. However, the eight star pillars stirred the power of the celestial stars, and starlight, like quicksilver, flowed everywhere. No matter which direction the four-winged mantis broke through, it encountered starlight flowing like water in the starry sky, encountering heavy resistance everywhere. Regardless of how fast the four-winged mantis moved outside, there was no space to display its speed within this star field. As time passed, as the four-winged mantis's mana gradually depleted, its speed inevitably slowed down.

At this time, outside the formation, the Shadow Scorpion King, Ban Qianzhi, and the ethereal flying sword fighter had ceased their struggle. In the Shadow Scorpion King's eyes, the formation laid down by Lu Xiaoteng was truly extraordinary. Once this formation was completed, the situation would likely be decided.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Even if the four-winged mantis was unwilling to accept it, its limited power compared to the seemingly inexhaustible power of this massive formation was ultimately insufficient.

Of course, this Eight-Forked Star Source Mountain Shaking Array also has its limits. After all, connecting to the starry sky relies on the array flags and those eight star sources. Once the star sources are depleted, the flags lose their ability to connect to the starry sky and draw upon the power of the stars.

The vastness of the formation's power is far beyond what an ordinary late-stage cultivator could compare to.

In the end, the Four-Winged Mantis's speed in the formation slowed down uncontrollably. The light Kai giant formed by the power of a thousand stars thrust its spear across its neck. The mighty Four-Winged Mantis, which once dominated the Demon Sea, was separated from its body. As for its soul, within the formation, there was nowhere to escape. Lu Xiaoteng stretched out his palm and captured it.

On the other side, the battle between the combined and fused Xuanjia Sturgeon Crocodile and the six Shadow Mantises had already consumed most of their strength. At this time, capturing the four-winged mantis's soul was merely a way to break even.

As for its demon body, it's probably quite valuable. And the Heshun Pill that the Four-Winged Mantis swatted down, Lu Xia Tian felt a little strange in his heart. The Four-Winged Mantis spent millions of Spirit Crystals to buy it, and then it circled around and ended up back in his hands.

Counting this Four-Winged Praying Mantis, it was already the third late Stage Fusion expert who had fallen into his hands. The Tusukuru Twin Emperors and Ye Qianxin's Lotus Flower avatar were both killed by Lu Xia Tian and others working together, with quite a bit of luck involved. Only this Four-Winged Praying Mantis was slain by him alone. Although he used the power of the formation, his ethereal flying sword was also held back by the Shadow Scorpion King. If not for this, he wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation by that green wind blade.

In the void, stars hid in clusters, and star pillars vanished into nothingness. Lu XiaTian reached out a hand and drew back the eight banners, which had lost their surging power and were now just ashes.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, your skills are truly heaven-defying! I’m in awe! This time, the Demon Lord will likely entrust you with a weighty task,” said the Shadow Scorpion King with an interfering tone. If before he had little grudge against Lu Xia Tian, only having sparred for hundreds of years in the underwater cave dwelling. Now, he undoubtedly offended Lu Xia Tian quite significantly. If not for his intervention, Lu Xia Tian would have at least dealt with the Four-Winged Praying Mantis more easily.

Lu Xia Tian appeared to only have the cultivation of the middle stage of the Integration Realm, but his skill in condensing his magical power was no less than others. Moreover, his magical power was powerful and imposing, completely unlike what a cultivator at the middle stage of the Integration Realm should possess. Many of his methods, both his own and those of the Four-Winged Mantis that had already died, were inferior.

After killing the four-winged mantis, Lu Xia Tian did not suffer much damage. The Shadow Scorpion King remembered that Lu Xia Tian still had a set of killing formations in his hand that was no less powerful than the one just now. Since Lu Xia Tian dared to defy the Demon Lord's orders and kill the four-winged mantis at all costs, if they were to kill him, no one could stop them at this time. But facing Lu Xia Tian, who was still one level lower than himself, the Shadow Scorpion King didn't feel that he would be his opponent.

Lu Xia Tian nodded, did not say much to the Shadow Scorpion King, and did not have time to count the belongings left by the Four-Winged Mantis. He reached out with his palm, took out the ink-blue token, infused it with mana, and in a flash of ink-blue light, the Demon Lord's phantom appeared again.

"Demon Lord, the outcome of this battle is decided. I wonder if Demon Lord has any orders" Lu Xia Tian said directly.

“As for whether you will obey my orders, I don't have much confidence.” Regarding the death of the Four-winged Mantis, the Demon Monarch's shadowy face showed no anger whatsoever. His tone was even the same as before, as if in his eyes, the death of the Four-winged Mantis was no different from that of an ordinary crawling insect.

“The reason has already been known to the Demon Lord, I have no way out, please forgive me, Demon Lord,” Lu Xiaoteng said frankly.

"Very well, since the Four-winged Mantis is dead, you will take over this mission. Get me a skull for a head trophy. The Xumi ring of the Four-winged Mantis contains a bone box; use that to contain the skull. There is also a map scroll indicating the possible area where the skull might appear, but it's not always accurate. You'll have to find it yourself. The Shadow Scorpion will obey your orders."

"With all due respect, Your Majesty," the Shadow Scorpion King hurriedly nodded his head.

"Alright, I'll rest for a bit and then head into the Underworld Corpse Ground with Shadow Scorpion." Lu Xia Tian also agreed to this, at this time the Demon Lord could still use him. If he lost his value to the Demon Lord, he was afraid that the Demon Lord wouldn't hesitate to strike him down.

The demonic smoke clinging to Lu Xiaotian's bones was something he couldn't deal with for the time being. Though it didn't harm his body, it guided the Demon Lord straight to him. This demonic smoke was refined by the Demon Lord using a special technique, and Lu Xiaotian's current cultivation level couldn't expel it. However, Lu Xiaotian's powerful primordial spirit allowed him to roughly discern its nature. Perhaps when he became stronger, he would be able to separate it from his body.

The Eight-Armed Star Origin shook the mountain formation, causing the seawater to recede, revealing the seabed. Then, it was once again covered by the surging seawater.

The Demon Lord's light and shadow dissipated, and this demonic sea was once again covered by countless tornadoes. However, such celestial phenomena could hardly affect creatures like them who had merged into a single entity.

>ding o Zhàn.“Follow me, my troops! Crush the enemy! Bā Lóng protects my body, and double hammers shake the sea!” Ao Zhan roared, extending his hand. A pair of shaking sea hammers appeared in his grasp...
