The golden beam of light became more and more dazzling, and it made a burst of whistling sound.
Lion's Roar changed his hand seals and with a wave of his hand, a row of fist-sized golden gourds appeared in front of him. There were more than twenty of them, all of them exuding powerful Earth Attribute fluctuations. These were the Gathering Sand Weeds that Elder Yao had mentioned.
He flicked his finger and more than 20 golden gourds flew into the yellow beam of light.
Rumble!
A yellow flame appeared in the golden beam of light, wrapping more than 20 Sand Gathering Lu inside.
Immediately, the surface of the Sand Gathering Weeds began to peel off, revealing the fine golden sand within. The source of the powerful earth-type elemental energy fluctuations was none other than this golden sand. This was the essence of sand that the Sand Transformation Sect had spent thousands of years refining.
The golden sand slowly melted in the flame, but it seemed that it would take a lot of time for it to completely melt.
The golden beam of light merged with the sand essence and shone brightly again.
At the same time, in a desolate valley surrounded by rolling sand, another huge and abnormal golden beam of light rose from the valley and went straight into the sky.
In the valley, the old ancestor of the Golden Savage Tribe stood in midair, chanting and constantly casting spells.
On the ground, more than a dozen southern savage cultivators in different clothes were waiting solemnly, but these people's clothes were more or less damaged. The valley was full of gravel pits, and from time to time, some giant insects' broken limbs could be seen.
It seemed that when they were setting up the array, these people were besieged by a lot of stemborers, but they were all killed.
Suddenly, the Golden Savage Tribe ancestor stopped chanting and waved his hand. One after another, golden Sand Gathering Lu flew out and merged into the golden beam of light. A dazzling golden light appeared on the surface of the golden beam of light, causing the surrounding sandstorm to surge.
At this moment, in the desert that was shrouded by the black sandstorm, there was a burst of sizzling sound.
… …
In the center of a desert oasis, the same golden beam of light rose into the sky.
However, the surroundings were not calm. Countless large and small stemborers were rushing in from all directions like a tide.
Around the golden array, more than a dozen Sand Sect Crystallization Period disciples under the leadership of four Jin Dan cultivators resisted the stemborers' attack.
There were many stemborer carcasses piled up near the spell formation, indicating that the battle had been going on for quite some time.
However, in the face of wave after wave of stemborers, the human cultivators were gradually beginning to falter.
In the air, the Sand Transformation Sect's Elder Yao looked around with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He quickly chanted an incantation and over twenty golden Gathering Sand Rue appeared in his sleeve. He then threw them into the golden pillar of light.
Then, he made a grabbing motion with his hand, and a huge grey hand condensed from grey sand flew out of his body and crushed the Gather Sand Weeds.
With a loud boom, the grains of sand wrapped in golden light fused into the golden light pillar.
With another wave of his hand, he struck out several spells, and the golden radiance gradually stabilized.
When the old man saw this, he finally sighed in relief. He suddenly turned around and waved his hand. A black cloud flew out from his body and floated in the air. It quickly expanded, turning into a pitch-black cloud in the blink of an eye.
Bolts of lightning slithered about in the dark clouds, emitting crackling sounds.
Rumble!
Countless bolts of lightning fell from the dark clouds, crashing toward the surrounding stemborers.
All of the stemborers within a radius of over 1,000 feet were instantly blasted apart by the lightning, transforming into a rain of blood.
The pressure on the Sand Transformation Sect disciples was greatly alleviated, but before they had a chance to relax, a low roar sounded from within the sea of stemborers.
This roar seemed to be able to pierce through one's body, and a chill ran down the Sand Transformation Sect disciples' spines.
The old man's expression also changed. The sea of stemborers around him tumbled, revealing a passageway. A yellow stemborer that was several hundred feet in size slowly flew over.
"Not good, it's a Celestial Phenomenon Stemborer!" The old man's pupils contracted as a grave expression appeared on his face.
… …
In another huge basin in the Southern Barren Desert, fierce winds were howling in all directions, sweeping up gusts of black gales. Apart from a golden pillar of light that pierced straight into the clouds, nothing else could be seen.
Within the golden pillar of light, there was a patch of fine golden sand that was being slowly melted by balls of flames.
Elder Feng and a dozen or so other cultivators stood guard around the pillar of light with grave expressions.
In the distance, there was a dense swarm of specks of light flying toward them.
… …
Where Liu Ming and the others were, the Great Sand Fall Formation had only been activated for a short while when a series of rumbling sounds surged toward it.
Liu Ming's expression froze. He could sense through his spiritual sense that the large wave of stemborers were roaring and pouncing toward the Great Sand Fall Formation. Even the ground beneath his feet seemed to be trembling.
In mid-air, Lion Roar wore a grave expression. Yellow light erupted from his body as he quickly chanted an obscure incantation. He suddenly raised a hand and a series of hand seals flew out from his hand.
Weng!
Four black pillars of light suddenly appeared near the Great Sand Fall Formation, forming a black defensive light barrier that enveloped Liu Ming and the others as well as the entire Great Sand Fall Formation.
As soon as Lion Roar finished this, a series of hissing sounds came from the surrounding black sandstorm. Immediately afterward, stemborers of various sizes rushed out of the sandstorm.
As soon as these stemborers saw Liu Ming and the others, they immediately hissed excitedly and rushed toward them from all directions like a tide.
Seeing this scene, the red-haired brawny man and the other two Jin Dan cultivators' expressions changed. Their expressions also became solemn as they focused their attention on the enemy's momentum.
A sharp light flashed in Liu Ming's eyes and he made a hand seal. Suddenly, a layer of black Qi appeared around his body.
Just as the four of them were about to take action, Lion Roar suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Wait a moment!"
When Liu Ming heard this, he paused and raised his head to look at the sky. He saw that Lion Roar was in mid-air, but in front of him, there was a black jade bottle that was as tall as a man.
The bottle was as black as ink, but it was engraved with dense fiery red runes. Under the stimulation of the lion's roar, it emitted circles of crimson waves of fire, and an abnormally scorching spiritual pressure suddenly spread out.
Lion Roar just clapped with one hand, and the jade bottle flashed red light. Countless red crystal threads surged out from the bottle, shrouding the surrounding area of a thousand meters.
A resounding boom erupted as the red crystalline threads exploded one after another, transforming into a series of crimson balls of flames.
In the blink of an eye, with the formation as the center, the area of a thousand meters turned into a scorching sea of fire.
In the crimson sea of fire, the stemborers let out painful roars. Their bodies were burning as they rolled around. Even with the hard shell of these stemborers, they couldn't resist at all.
In just a few seconds, the first batch of stemborers that rushed into the sea of fire were annihilated in the vast sea of fire, turning into wisps of green smoke.
In the black defensive formation, a look of surprise appeared in Liu Ming's eyes.
These crimson flames looked ordinary, but they actually had such a high temperature that even the Crystallization Period stemborers couldn't bear it.
Seeing this situation, the other cultivators were also ecstatic.
"The Great Sand Fall Formation will most likely need at least a few more hours to completely refine the sand essence within these Gathering Sand Weeds. Everyone, listen up. During this period of time, you must defend the formation to the death. There must not be any accidents! "In midair, the lion's roar sounded in the ears of Liu Ming and the others.
"Yes!" The group of cultivators answered in unison, and each of them took out the spirit tools and talismans in their hands, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lion Roar nodded and no longer said anything. He continued to control the black jade bottle to release bursts of crimson flames in all directions, which fused into the surrounding sea of fire.
Countless stemborers revolved around the sea of fire, and there were at least several thousand of them. They were constantly roaming around, but they were wary of the scorching flames and didn't dare to step into it.
After roaming around for a while, a series of strange hissing sounds rang out from a certain part of the sea of stemborers. The sea of stemborers then suddenly parted to reveal five stemborers that were clearly high-grade stemborers.
These stemborers were of different sizes; some were over 100 feet long, while others were only around 10 feet in size. However, all of them had twisted human faces and exuded powerful auras. They were all Jin Dan stage stemborers.
"Be careful, my Purgatory True Flames may not be able to stop these high-grade stemborers!" Lion Roar's warning sounded in the ears of Liu Ming and the others.
As soon as his voice fell, a sudden change occurred.
Roar!
A black centipede-shaped Jin Dan stemborer let loose a roar as a thick layer of black light abruptly lit up on its body. The black light condensed into a thick protective halo, and its huge body twisted as it charged directly into the sea of fire toward Liu Ming and the others.
The other four Jin Dan stemborers also released thick protective light as they pounced toward Liu Ming and the others from different directions.
As soon as these high-grade stemborers stepped into the sea of fire, crimson waves of flames surged toward the Jin Dan stemborers as if they had a mind of their own.
The protective light around the Jin Dan stemborers' bodies immediately began to crackle and crackle as they were engulfed by the crimson flames, and they quickly melted away. However, the protection aura of these True Pill borers continued to gush out. Although the red flames were powerful, they were blocked out for a while and couldn't cause substantial damage to them.
In the blink of an eye, the Jin Dan stemborers had passed through the sea of fire and pounced toward the black defensive formation.
Shi Hou quickly chanted an incantation upon seeing this, and at the same time, black light flashed from his hand, upon which an inky-black formation flag appeared. He waved it through the air, and the black formation began to emit a buzzing sound.
A series of thick black pillars of light erupted from the formation, striking the Jin Dan stemborers. Aside from an early-stage Jin Dan stemborer that had its carapace shattered on the spot and fell into the sea of fire, the other four stemborers were only sent flying.
Shi Hou sighed as he turned to Liu Ming and the others, and said, "I have to control the Sea of Purgatory Flames to deal with the stemborers outside, so I don't have much time to spare. I'll leave these stemborers to you."
At this moment, the other four Jin Dan stemborers pounced toward them with protective light around their bodies.
Liu Ming and the other three Jin Dan stemborers naturally didn't dare to tarry, and they also unleashed their respective cultivation arts and treasures to meet the stemborers.
