The red-haired brawny man's body swayed, and he rose up into the air before sweeping a sleeve through the air.
Whoosh!
A shimmering silver square seal flew through the air, upon which was engraved an extremely life-like brown wyrm that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in a ferocious display.
The seal flashed and immediately swelled to several tens of feet in size. Bursts of wind and thunder erupted from its surface as it hurtled toward an azure spider-like stemborer, leaving a trail of afterimages in its wake.
The other two cultivators were also unwilling to fall behind, and they each summoned a brown crescent shovel and a pair of blue meteor hammers, each of which engaged in a fierce battle against a massive stemborer.
Due to the fact that they were familiar with the characteristics of these stemborers, they didn't use any magic techniques in their attacks. Instead, they used spirit tools that could unleash physical attacks to deal with these stemborers.
On the other side, black light flashed from Liu Ming's body as he rushed toward the black centipede stemborer. He made a hand seal, and purple light flashed as he summoned his Bitter Wheel Sword.
Brilliant purple sword light erupted from the Bitter Wheel Sword, and it abruptly transformed into a massive purple sword that was around 200 to 300 feet in size before crashing down toward the centipede stemborer.
The centipede stemborer let loose a low roar before opening its cavernous mouth to expel a thick burst of black light, which was able to keep the massive purple sword at bay. At the same time, its upper body swayed, and several tens of azure blades of wind shot forth from its limbs, all of which hurtled toward Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's brows furrowed slightly as he waved a hand through the air, and he quickly chanted a few incantations. Black Qi surged out of his body, and the faint sound of bones cracking could be heard within the black Qi.
The black Qi converged before him to form a circular shield that was around 10 feet in size in the blink of an eye, upon which a series of crisscrossing white bone patterns had appeared.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The azure blades of wind unleashed by the centipede stemborer struck the shield, and it tremored slightly before withstanding the attacks as if it were completely unscathed.
Immediately thereafter, Liu Ming made a strange hand seal before flicking his fingers in rapid succession, upon which several bursts of black Qi shot forth from his hands.
All of the black Qi brushed past the centipede stemborer's head before exploding at the same time.
Within the surging black Qi, a massive white bone cage appeared before descending like lightning, trapping most of the centipede stemborer's body within.
As soon as the centipede stemborer was trapped within the bone cage, it let loose an enraged roar, and its massive body began to struggle with all its might as it struggled violently.
The white bone cage immediately began to tremble violently as a series of cracks appeared over its surface, and it appeared as if it were about to fall apart.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He hadn't comprehended the bone prison technique for a long time, so he couldn't trap the centipede stemborer for too long.
However, that short while was enough.
He made a sword sign with his hand, and the Bitter Wheel Sword let out a sharp whistle in mid-air. The huge purple sword shone brightly and easily crushed the black beam of light that had lost the support of the centipede stemborer.
Immediately thereafter, he quickly pointed a finger at the giant purple sword a few times.
The giant purple sword let loose a soft ringing sound before blurring, upon which countless purple sword projections appeared around it, each of which had a total of 32 arcs of purple lightning revolving around their surfaces.
The area within a radius of over 1,000 feet was instantly enshrouded in extremely sharp purple sword projections, inundating the centipede stemborer along with its bone cage.
The overwhelming Sword Will spread out in all directions. Such a huge commotion attracted the attention of everyone present.
Not just the red-haired brawny man and the other Jin Dan cultivators, even Lion's Roar had turned to look at the scene.
A howl of anguish erupted from within the surging purple sword projections before abruptly coming to an end.
Liu Ming waved his hand and launched a sword gesture. The purple sword light disappeared in a flash, and a purple flying sword returned to Liu Ming's hand.
The massive body of the centipede stemborer up ahead had already been sliced into several segments, and it was as dead as it could be.
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, and everyone else was stunned to see this.
As for the other battles, apart from the red-haired brawny man who had a slight upper hand, the other two were in a stalemate.
In the sky above the Grand Sandfall Formation, Lion's Roar was overjoyed to see this.
The more powerful Liu Ming's abilities were, the more likely he would be able to fend off the stemborers.
At that moment, Liu Ming's figure flashed and he flew toward the gray-robed man who was fighting a Jin Dan stemborer not far away. The Bitter Wheel Sword in his hand had already shot forth, transforming into a dense expanse of purple sword projections in a blur that enveloped the area ahead...
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, with Liu Ming's support, the four Jin Dan stemborers that had passed through the sea of flames were all slain by the cultivators.
At that moment, another Jin Dan stemborer covered in a purple carapace flew out of the sea of crimson flames. After circling in the air for a while, it suddenly turned its head and let out a sharp screech at the low-grade stemborers below.
The screech created a series of tiny ripples in the air that were visible to the naked eye, spreading through the sea of stemborers.
A few other similar screeches rang out from a few other directions, and a series of sound waves immediately swept forth.
Liu Ming hurriedly activated the Dark Bone Mantra, and a layer of dense black Qi surged out of his body to envelop his entire body.
However, a hint of surprise soon appeared on his face. The screech of the stemborers didn't strike him as anything special, and it didn't seem to be a spiritual attack.
All of a sudden, a lion's roar sounded, "Look out there!"
Liu Ming raised an eyebrow as he swept his gaze across the sea of flames.
All of the stemborers on the other side of the sea of flames let loose violent screeches upon hearing this, and crimson light appeared in their eyes.
In the next instant, something that left Liu Ming and the others completely flabbergasted took place.
The stemborers suddenly pounced together and began to tear at one another in a frenzy. Blood splattered in all directions around the sea of flames, and severed limbs flew through the air. At the same time, a thick, nauseating odor of blood quickly spread through the air.
The victors of the stemborers began to devour one another at an astonishing rate.
The red-haired brawny man and the others were all astonished to see this. Liu Ming's expression changed slightly as he recalled the stemborers devouring one another in the hilly region.
After devouring one another, not only could these stemborers recover from their injuries, but they could also enhance their cultivation bases!
With that in mind, Liu Ming's expression changed, and he immediately issued a warning.
"Be careful, these stemborers can devour others to strengthen themselves."
The red-haired brawny man and the others faltered upon hearing this, but they quickly understood what Liu Ming was trying to say.
A layer of crimson light appeared over the surface of the remaining stemborers, and their bodies swelled at a rate that was discernible to the naked eye as they continued to devour other stemborers in a frenzy.
Not long after that, most of the stemborers gathered around the sea of flames had disappeared, and they had been replaced by a dozen or so large stemborers that resembled giant silkworms.
Each of these stemborers was the size of a three-story building, and their entire bodies were shimmering with crimson light. Their bodies were covered in a thick layer of carapace, and their mouths were filled with sharp fangs. Their eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light, and they appeared to be extremely ferocious.
Liu Ming's pupils contracted upon seeing this. Each and every one of these crimson stemborers was emanating spiritual pressure that was not inferior to that of a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator.
Roar!
The crimson stemborers let loose a low roar before quickly wriggling toward Liu Ming and the others.
As soon as they entered the sea of crimson flames, a layer of crimson light immediately appeared over the bodies of these stemborers, keeping the crimson flames at bay. Their massive bodies were unexpectedly agile, and they reached the black defensive formation in the blink of an eye.
Light suddenly swirled within the black formation, and a series of inky-black pillars of light struck the bodies of the crimson stemborers again.
However, the bodies of these stemborers were extremely massive, and the pillars of black light were only able to knock them back slightly without much effect.
"Fellow Daoists, you must hold on! The Falling Sand Formation has reached a critical juncture, and success or failure will depend on this! "Shi Hou yelled to Liu Ming and the others before flying into the golden pillars of light.
Liu Ming, the red-haired brawny man, and the other Jin Dan cultivators were able to keep their composure, but the Crystal Level cultivators couldn't help but turn pale at the sight of these incomparably massive crimson stemborers.
The dozen or so crimson stemborers quickly stabilized their bodies before pouncing toward them again with a foul stench in their wake.
Liu Ming's expression was as calm as still water, and he moved to stand in front of two of the massive crimson stemborers.
The two crimson stemborers caught sight of Liu Ming, and they opened their mouths wide.
Puff puff puff! A series of whizzing sounds rang out! The crimson stemborers spat out several dozen door-sized crimson blades of light from their mouths, all of which slashed toward Liu Ming's head.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and he made a hand sign with his hand. With a flash of yellow light, three earthy yellow round beads appeared in front of him. They were the magic treasures, the Mountain River Beads.
With a flash of yellow light, the three Mountain River Beads immediately expanded by ten times, forming a triangular shape in front of him.
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the three Mountain River Beads flickered with yellow light. The crimson blades were easily deflected when they struck them.
The red-haired brawny man and the other two Jin Dan cultivators summoned their own magic treasures to block two crimson stemborers each.
The Crystal Level cultivators didn't dare to engage in close combat with the crimson stemborers at all. They hid in the defensive formation, and the dozen or so magic treasures combined to barely block two or three crimson stemborers.
The remaining giant stemborers didn't attack Liu Ming and the others. Instead, they constantly bombarded the black defensive formation.
Fortunately, the black formation was personally set up by the Celestial State cultivator, Shihou, and its defensive power was quite extraordinary. Under the repeated attacks of the crimson stemborers, although the surface was flashing chaotically, it seemed to be holding up for a while.
Liu Ming's gaze swept around, and his right hand, which was originally hidden in his sleeve, suddenly raised. A purple sword light silently shot toward the crimson stemborers. With a blur, it turned into thirty-six sword lights that slashed at the crimson stemborers.
Keng keng!
A burst of sparks appeared on the body of the crimson stemborers. Even the sharpness of the Bitter Wheel Sword couldn't break the crimson shell on its body.
A look of surprise flashed across Liu Ming's face. With a flash of yellow light, two more Mountain River Beads appeared beside him.
At this time, the two crimson stemborers in front of him saw the crimson wavy blade attack fail, and immediately let out a roar. They suddenly opened their mouths and each spat out a large amount of blood mist. In an instant, the blood mist filled the space within a radius of a hundred feet.
Liu Ming only smelled some fishy odor, and his head felt slightly dizzy. His face immediately changed, and he immediately formed a hand sign. A rolling yellow mist erupted from the Mountain River Beads, covering his whole body.
