Seeing that Kuo Xing didn't chase after them, Yang Tian and Cheng Wu Xingyang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
In this rough space, there were rocks everywhere. The further they went, the more rocks there were and the bigger they got.
This situation made Yang Tian wonder if this was the treasury of the Everlasting Temple.
But when he thought of Kuo Xing chasing after them with no regard for his life, he was relieved.
He knew that it wasn't that easy to enter the treasury of the Everlasting Temple.
For Yang Tian and Cheng Wu Xingyang, there wasn't much time. If Kuo Xing didn't chase after them, they could still search for him calmly. But with Kuo Xing behind them, Yang Tian and Cheng Wu Xingyang felt a sense of danger.
After walking through the mountain-sized rocks for a while, Yang Tian set up an aura concealing glyph array with the help of a strange program.
This way, even if Kuo Xing passed by not far away, he wouldn't find their hiding place.
Yang Tian stopped at this time to replenish his energy.
In the battle with Bai Xingxuan, Yang Tian had consumed a lot of energy. Later, when he trapped Kuo Xing, he used even more energy.
Although the battle was extremely short, Yang Tian's energy was already a little low.
Now, even if Kuo Xing stood in front of him and obediently let him use the Black Hole Chain to bind him, Yang Tian wouldn't be able to do it.
Before coming to the Everlasting Temple, Yang Tian didn't have much stock left. Fortunately, he used the nine-colored palace token to swindle a lot of things from the Guest Department in the temple.
Otherwise, Yang Tian would be in danger of running out of food.
To put it bluntly, the previous battle between cultivators was also a competition of energy replenishment resources.
100,000 Destiny Comprehension Realm pills, 100 million standard volume louse crystals, these things could be used to replenish energy. Yang Tian had the Black Hole Chain swallow a third of them all at once.
When he saw Yang Tian use so many things at once to replenish his energy, Cheng Wu Xingyang couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.
With so many lice crystals and pills, he would be able to steadily cultivate to the Destiny Enlightenment realm.
Seeing Yang Tian's' hungry 'appearance, Chengwu Xingyang guessed that the battle between Yang Tian and Kuang Xing just now wouldn't have consumed so much energy, right?
Cheng Wu Xingyang's guess was right. During the battle with Kuang Xing, Yang Tian had used up almost all the energy stored in the Original Realm.
The energy consumed was about the same as the energy extracted from the pills and lice crystals that Yang Tian had swallowed with the black hole.
One had to know that the battle between Yang Tian and Kuang Xing was separated by an entire realm.
Under normal circumstances, a difference of one rank would result in a one-sided battle, but Yang Tian and Kuang Xing were two ranks away from Kuang Xing.
Among the cultivators, he was probably the only one who could do this because his energy world was extremely vast.
Perhaps it was because of its size that black holes had appeared in his energy world, and because of his' ingenious ideas', he had created a chain of black holes.
If it had been any other Destiny Enlightenment realm cultivator, it would have been very difficult for them to make the chain of black holes operate, let alone form a black hole in their energy world.
Also, if any other Destiny Enlightenment realm cultivator absorbed so much energy at once, their energy world would probably explode.
In Chengwu Xingyang's eyes, Yang Tian had already been equated with a monster.
He originally thought that Yang Tian would take a long time to recuperate, but after Yang Tian finished absorbing the energy, the energy fluctuations emitted from his body stabilized within a few dozen breaths.
With enough energy, Yang Tian's confidence increased.
After he finished recuperating, Yang Tian's eyes were filled with confidence and a trace of madness.
Through the previous battle with Kuang Xing, Yang Tian realized that he could actually kill Kuang Xing by relying on the black hole chain.
The current situation was that if he wanted to smoothly find what he needed, he had to get rid of Kuang Xing.
However, this was simply impossible.
This was Kuang Xing's territory. As long as he waited at the entrance for him, it would be fine.
Unless he no longer coveted the Limitless Temple's countless cultivation resources and thought of a way to leave.
In any case, the temple's talisman array had been changed. It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed. Unless someone had the ability to restore the talisman array in a short period of time.
Kuang Xing naturally recognized this point. Therefore, he wanted to protect the Limitless Temple's treasury. With the treasury, the Limitless Temple's foundation would remain. If it was destroyed, he could just build another one.
Now that things had developed to this point, the grudge between Yang Tian and Kuang Xing was no longer a simple personal grudge. It was related to the future of both of them, and it could no longer be described as a 'fight to the death'.
Therefore, if there was a chance, why not kill Kuang Xing?
Moreover, it wasn't impossible.
Previously, when he faced Kuang Xing, Yang Tian only wanted to escape because of Kuang Xing's strength. He wanted to wait until he was as strong as Kuang Xing before finding trouble with him.
However, at this time, Yang Tian's thoughts changed.
Because, in addition to the Black Hole Chain, Yang Tian also had Fifteen, a blade that could directly hurt people's souls.
If he could trap Kuang Xing, then use this blade to attack him a few times …
In Yang Tian's mind, he began to calculate the process of how to kill Kuang Xing.
After some thinking, with the help of the strange program, the plan in Yang Tian's mind gradually perfected.
After thinking about it, Yang Tian stared straight at Chengwu Xingyang.
"You … What are you doing …" Chengwu Xingyang was scared by Yang Tian's stare and stammered nervously.
Yang Tian laughed and said, "Let's wait a moment and kill Kuang Xing!"
Yang Tian said, waving his palm vertically and making a chopping motion.
Kill Kuang Xing!
He really dared to think about it!
Chengwu Xingyang looked at the excited Yang Tian and his eyes widened.
Yang Tian ignored the shocked Chengwu Xingyang and whispered his plan.
"You want me to attract him …"
After Yang Tian finished speaking, Chengwu Xingyang pointed at himself and said in horror.
In Yang Tian's plan, he wanted Chengwu Xingyang to appear and attract Kuang Xing to his designated location.
This process was very important. Yang Tian, the Little Blue Dragon, and Chengwu Xingyang, two people and one dragon, only Chengwu Xingyang could do it.
If Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon appeared, Kuang Xing would immediately attack.
"How about it, do you agree?"
Looking at Chengwu Xingyang's hesitation, Yang Tian asked with a sneer.
Seeing Yang Tian staring at his forehead, Chengwu Xingyang suddenly came to a realization.
Now, Yang Tian's restriction on his body had not been lifted.
If he did not agree to Yang Tian, he was afraid that he would die a horrible death.
However, although there was a threat, Chengwu Xingyang did not resent Yang Tian.
The world was like this, the strong controlled the weak. Chengwu Xingyang was a weakling in front of Yang Tian, so naturally he would be controlled by Yang Tian.
Moreover, if Yang Tian's plan succeeded and Kuang Xing was killed, it would be good for Chengwu Xingyang and Chengwu Xingyang's family.
"Okay, I promise you!"
After thinking about it, Chengwu Xingyang could only grit his teeth and agree.
Anyway, this time, if Yang Tian was finished, he would also be finished.
The punishment of the Temple for spies was very harsh. It would definitely be more painful than Yang Tian's death.
"Xiao Long, go and see."
Seeing Chengwu Xingyang agree, Yang Tian turned his head and said to the Little Blue Dragon.
The Little Blue Dragon understood Yang Tian's meaning and immediately went to see if Kuang Xing had come.
With Yang Tian's current realm, even if he had the Black Hole Chain and Fifteen, it would not be so easy to kill Kuang Xing.
Kuang Xing had already suffered a loss before, so he would definitely not be easily trapped by him again.
Yang Tian naturally understood this point, so he needed the help of the talisman array.
This was also Yang Tian's advantage.
After the Little Blue Dragon left, Yang Tian did not immediately take action, but began to observe the surrounding terrain.
At this time, the strange program began to calculate and design the talisman array according to the surrounding terrain.
…
After Kuang Xing finished adjusting his breath, he chased for a while and lost track of Yang Tian's aura.
The space here was very large. If Yang Tian used the talisman array to hide, it would not be easy to find Yang Tian.
At this time, Kuang Xing was not in a hurry, because the teleportation platform to leave this place had been destroyed. This was the only way in and out now.
If Yang Tian wanted to open another way out, it would definitely cause a big commotion.
However, he could not let Yang Tian have it so easy …
Kuang Xing, who was standing on a huge rock, glanced around and smiled coldly.
Shortly after, Kuo Xing's figure moved, and he arrived in front of an inconspicuous stone wall. He raised his hand and pressed on a protruding stone on the wall.
"Crack ~"
There was a soft sound.
After pressing the rock, Kuang Xing immediately left the place.
Then, he went to another place.
In this vast and messy stone cave, there were actually many talisman mechanisms.
Once activated, not only would it strengthen the defense of this place, it would also put the intruders in danger.
Kuang Xing's movements were very fast. His figure flashed again and again, and in ten breaths, more than ten inconspicuous rocks were pressed down by him.
Some of these protruding buttons were on the walls of the cave, some were on the huge rocks, and some were even on the ceiling.
While Kuang Xing was doing these things, Yang Tian was thinking about his plan.
Not long after the Little Blue Dragon left, the light in the stone cave suddenly dimmed.
After noticing this abnormality, Yang Tian looked up and found that a dark green fog had appeared on the ceiling of the cave at some point.
The light in this stone cave was released by some glowing crystals on the ceiling. When the green fog appeared, it covered the light emitted by the crystals.
If it was white fog, Yang Tian probably would not have paid attention to it. He would have thought that it was water vapor. However, this fog was green, and he knew at a glance that it was not something good.
Poison fog!
Yang Tian could not help but frown.
However, he did not stop his plan. He immediately took out a talisman pen from his storage bracelet and started drawing on a huge rock.
In just a few seconds, Yang Tian had carved dozens of runes on it.
Of course, it was also with the help of the strange program that he appeared to be so skilled.
When Chengwu Xingyang, who was standing at the side, saw this, he could not help but admire Yang Tian again.
With just this skill alone, the advanced talisman masters in the temple would not be able to catch up even if they cultivated for thousands of years.
Although Chengwu Xingyang was not proficient in runes, he could appreciate it.
It was not only because of the speed at which Yang Tian carved the runes, but also because of the size and arrangement of each rune. The thin energy lines that separated from the runes gave people a pleasant feeling.
After Yang Tian completed these dozens of runes, a faint rune energy fluctuation appeared.
After completing the runes, Yang Tian raised his head to take another look.
In this short period of time, the green fog on the ceiling of the cave became thicker and began to press down.
The thickening green fog made the light in the cave even dimmer.
Yang Tian immediately separated a wisp of his mental power and entered the fog.
Through the investigation of his mental power, Yang Tian quickly found out what the green fog was.
They were actually tiny insects gathered together.
It was not that Yang Tian had never seen these small insects before. When he left the Superstar Academy with Soli and went out to train, he encountered a kind of devouring insect.
When the devouring insect was still a larva, it was this big. When it had enough energy and started to grow, it could be so big that it could devour an entire planet.
Was this green insect also like the devouring insect?
Right now, Yang Tian did not have the time to study these insects. He needed to finish setting up the talisman formation before Kuang Xing appeared. Although things might change and the final result might not be useful, it was better to be prepared than not!
Yang Tian sped up.
In a short ten minutes or so, Yang Tian went around an area of about a thousand square meters and carved dozens of runes on dozens of pieces of gravel.
When he was finally done, there were already faint rune energy fluctuations in this area of a thousand square meters.
This kind of subtle energy was comparable to the energy fluctuations caused by the flow of air. Even if a talisman expert like Black Talisman Lord appeared here, it would be difficult for him to discover that he had entered a rune array.
After completing the rune array, Yang Tian used his mental power to summon the Little Blue Dragon back and then returned to the place where he was hiding before.
The Little Blue Dragon's investigation this time was naturally fruitful because Kuo Xing did not hide his aura, making him like a light in the night.
The Little Blue Dragon soon approached less than a hundred meters away from Kuo Xing.
Because the Little Blue Dragon surrounded itself with its mental power, Kuo Xing did not notice it.
Perhaps Kuo Xing had discovered it but deliberately pretended not to notice it!
At this moment, Kuo Xing was sitting cross-legged on a flat boulder, motionless, as if he was meditating.
Also, Kuo Xing had destroyed the teleportation platform.
"He's planning to waste time with us!" Yang Tian looked up at the green fog above his head and sneered.
"What's that green thing up there?"
Chengwu Xingyang also looked up and frowned as he asked.
The green insects were as small as the tip of a cow's hair. Naturally, they could not be seen clearly from far away, but Yang Tian could see them clearly through his mental power.
The insects were shaped like mosquitoes with sharp mouths. They were still in a state of deep sleep and were curled up.
However, it was expected that they would wake up soon.
Fortunately, the insects did not react to mental power. Out of curiosity, Yang Tian wanted to use other types of power to test them, but after some thought, he decided not to.
"Those are all little green bugs …"
Yang Tian told Chengwu Xingyang what he saw.
Yang Tian had never seen such small insects before, so he hoped that Chengwu Xingyang would know more about them.
However, Chengwu Xingyang shook his head after hearing that because he did not know.
While they were talking, the green "fog" had become as thick as a black cloud. The light was so dim that one could only see tens of meters away with the naked eye, and they were less than ten meters above the ground.
In order to guard against these small insects, Yang Tian had used his mental power to envelop a three-meter radius around him.
If the green insects suddenly woke up, he would have time to deal with them.
At this moment, Kuo Xing, who was sitting on a giant rock with his legs crossed, suddenly opened his eyes. He expressionlessly took out a small green tube that looked like a straw from his storage bracelet, put it to his lips, and blew on it.
A strange sound wave was emitted from the small hole at the end of the tube, and it spread out in all directions.
As soon as the green insects came into contact with the sound wave energy, they finally woke up.
Kuo Xing moved quickly. He only blew on the tube for a moment before he jumped off the giant rock and took out a golden pill from his storage bracelet and consumed it.
After a few breaths, Kuo Xing's body emitted a faint fragrance.
The awakened green insects initially wanted to attack Kuo Xing, who had released them, but they stayed away when they saw the fragrance coming from Kuo Xing's body.
When Kuo Xing looked at the insects that were still flying around him, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
That was because, in that instant, he realized that those green bugs were actually able to absorb the energy in his body from a distance.
It was simply too terrifying!
If it was not for the antidote, he would have been in great danger, especially when he had cut off his escape route.
The awakened insects began to move freely. Each of them seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and they needed to absorb energy to fill their stomachs.
When the insects were thirsty, the green lights on their bodies became brighter. Countless of these small insects turned the entire cave into a strange green color.
Wherever there were energy waves, they would swarm over and form a small swarm. They looked like will-o '-the-wisps floating in the air.
Fortunately, the green insects were not interested in Yang Tian's mental power, so the two of them were safe for the time being.
However, if the green insects continued to exist in the cave, it would be troublesome.
It was worth noting that Yang Tian used his mental power to protect himself, the Little Blue Dragon, and Chengwu Xingyang, and it consumed energy.
The consumption could not be dragged on indefinitely.
Kuo Xing released the insects because he would not be attacked by them.
Next, as long as Yang Tian could not hold on and made a move, Kuo Xing would be able to sense his location.
Yang Tian could not help but feel lucky that he did not spend time studying the insects before this. Instead, he completed the talisman formation as quickly as possible. It was a wise decision.
Now, the plan could be even more perfect.
This might be the best time.
Yang Tian patted Chengwu Xingyang's shoulder and said with a smile, "According to what we said just now, take this and crush it when Kuo Xing comes."
As Yang Tian spoke, he placed a bluestone in Chengwu Xingyang's hand.
"But … those insects …" Chengwu Xingyang smiled bitterly.
Yang Tian naturally would not let Chengwu Xingyang die for nothing. He said to the Little Blue Dragon, "Xiao Long, help him. I need to focus on setting up the talisman formation.
Whether we can kill Kuo Xing or not, it will depend on our … luck. "
The Little Blue Dragon nodded and jumped onto Chengwu Xingyang's head.
Chengwu Xingyang smiled bitterly. Under the protection of the Little Blue Dragon's mental power, he slowly walked out of the range of Yang Tian's mental power field.
When he arrived at the place Yang Tian pointed out, Chengwu Xingyang suppressed his nervousness and glanced at the 'green fog' that was constantly floating around. Then, he lifted his foot and crushed a rock under his foot.
Then, Kuo Xing flashed away at an extremely fast speed.
There was an energy fluctuation, and the green insects nearby swarmed over. Chengwu Xingyang was so scared that he screamed and ran to the side.
The green fog formed by the swarm of green insects immediately covered the rock that Chengwu Xingyang had crushed, turning it into powder in an instant.
Chengwu Xingyang was really scared when he saw this.
Fortunately, he remembered Yang Tian's words and held the green stone tightly in his hand.
Sure enough, before he could run a few steps, Kuo Xing suddenly appeared in his sight.
Perhaps he thought that he had discovered Yang Tian's position, but Kuo Xing's face was filled with madness. In the green light, he looked extremely demonic, like a devil.
When he saw Kuo Xing appear, Chengwu Xingyang immediately crushed the green stone in his hand without hesitation.
As soon as the green stone was crushed, twelve black spheres suddenly appeared around him. They were almost exactly the same as the black holes that Yang Tian had released before.
Although these twelve black holes were formed by talisman formations, they were still madly absorbing the surrounding energy and sucking in countless green insects.
When he realized that it was not Yang Tian and that twelve black holes had appeared around him, Kuo Xing was shocked and wanted to retreat.
However, when he realized that the power of the black holes was not as strong as before, he couldn't help but stop.
In fact, Kuo Xing had already expected this situation.
After being tricked once, he naturally didn't want to be trapped by Yang Tian again. Therefore, when he rushed over, he was ready to retreat at any time.
Chengwu Xingyang, who remembered Yang Tian's words, seized the moment when Kuo Xing was confused and turned to escape.
When Chengwu Xingyang moved, Kuo Xing also reacted and wanted to chase after Chengwu Xingyang.
However, a familiar and powerful force appeared all of a sudden and trapped him again.
This time, Chengwu Xingyang finally understood that he had been tricked.
The twelve black holes he saw were just a disguise. The purpose was to make him stay for a little while.
Any attack or defense needed time to start.
Kuo Xing had thought of this before and didn't want to give Yang Tian this opportunity. He didn't expect that he would still fall into Yang Tian's trap.
At this time, Kuo Xing couldn't help but admire Yang Tian's scheming.
Feeling Kuo Xing's struggle, Yang Tian let out a long sigh in his heart.
The most important part of his plan was finally completed!
Now, if Kuo Xing didn't have any other means, he could only wait for death …
