In the huge pit on the ground, the earthworm stemborer seemed to be a little confused at this moment. It shook its head a few times and was about to crawl up with its lower body, but a huge bone cage fell from the sky and enveloped it.
Roar roar!
The stemborer immediately flared up with rage, and brilliant grey light erupted from its body as its massive body swelled significantly in size. At the same time, its tentacles waved violently, and it forcibly broke through the bone cage amid a resounding boom.
At this moment, the air above its head fluctuated, and a thousand meters yellow mountain pressed down with the momentum of Mount Tai. The bottom of the mountain shone brightly, and circles of yellow halos rolled out wildly.
Before the giant mountain had even descended, an extremely heavy burst of spiritual pressure had already swept forth, striking the stemborers with a sense of asphyxiation.
The stemborer's heart jolted with shock upon seeing this, and brilliant grey light erupted from its body as a massive projection that was extremely similar to its true form emerged. It then opened its cavernous mouth to expel a thick pillar of grey light, which struck the foot of the mountain with devastating might.
An earth-shattering noise came out!
As the gray and yellow light collided fiercely, a ring of air wave visible to the naked eye spread in all directions.
Kun Yu, Long Yanfei, and others were Jin Dan cultivators, so their physical bodies were also quite strong. Under the bombardment of the air wave, they didn't suffer any serious injuries. They just staggered for a while.
The rest of the Crystallization Period cultivators were swept by the air wave, and they vomited blood and flew back involuntarily.
The giant mountain transformed by the Mountain River Pearl trembled slightly, and its falling momentum suddenly stopped.
However, the earthworm stemborer also let out a painful howl, then its body flashed in a gray light, and the flesh tentacles on its back shot out. With an ear-piercing scream, it blasted toward Liu Ming in mid-air.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes, and black gas rolled out of his body. In a crackling sound, it quickly condensed into a bone shield. At the same time, he waved his hand, and his body emitted a dazzling bloody light, which condensed into a bloody light shield behind him. Finally, a silver light flashed on his body, and a layer of silver flesh armor appeared, covering all parts of his body.
As soon as Liu Ming finished doing this, the flesh tentacles whizzed over and slammed heavily on the bone shield.
There was a loud "bang bang"!
The Nether Bone Shield only lasted for half a breath's time before countless cracks appeared on its surface. Then, it exploded with a loud bang, turning into billowing black gas. The dozen or so fleshy tentacles passed through the black gas and fiercely bombarded the blood-colored light shield behind it.
The bloody shield shone brightly and trembled violently. However, Liu Ming had stored a lot of blood essence in this bloody shield over the years, so although the bloody shield trembled violently, it still barely didn't collapse.
In the end, after the bloody shield dimmed by more than half, the flesh tentacles exhausted their power and fell down powerlessly.
Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He launched symbols with his hand and spat a mouthful of blood essence on the yellow mountain.
The yellow mountain suddenly glowed brightly, and a series of black river projections appeared, winding around the mountain.
The earthy yellow mountain glowed with black and yellow light, and the mountain suddenly swelled to a much larger size. The massive mountain slowly pressed down on the earthworm stemborer projection.
A look of incredulity appeared in the earthworm stemborer's eyes. The grey projection was pressed lower and lower by the mountain before finally dissipating.
A resounding boom erupted, and the earthworm stemborer's entire body was completely pressed down by the earthy yellow mountain.
Liu Ming quickly recited an incantation and waved his hands up and down. A series of incantation seals flew out, and the yellow mountain glowed with a yellow light that enshrouded an area with a radius of over a thousand feet.
The earth-attribute vital energy within a radius of over a thousand feet became as rich as an iron plate.
The earthworm stemborer struggled for a while under the mountain before finally falling silent.
Liu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and floated down to the ground.
The earthworm stemborer was suppressed by the Bead of Mountains and Rivers, and the grey threads binding Kun Yu and the others were also broken. Only then did they regain their freedom, and they all stared at Liu Ming in shock. For a time, no one said anything.
"Younger Brother Liu, it's been a few decades since we last met. I didn't think that you'd become so powerful. Even a Celestial Phenomenon stemborer is no match for you." Long Yanfei and Liu Ming were old acquaintances, so she didn't hold back. After sizing up Liu Ming, she broke the silence with a complicated expression on her face.
"You're too kind, Senior Sister Long. If you hadn't used your techniques to restrict this stemborer, I wouldn't have been able to kill it," Liu Ming said with a glint in his eyes.
Hearing this, Long Yanfei, Kun Yu, and the others all blushed.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, Liu Ming had been fighting the Celestial Phenomenon stemborer alone. If not for Liu Ming, they would have died long ago.
Shangguan Yanyu looked at Liu Ming, her eyes revealing a trace of deep shock and a faint trace of lingering fear.
On the way here, she was still resentful because Liu Ming had snatched her opportunity to become a secret disciple, and she almost got into a fight with Liu Ming. If Ling Yiyi hadn't spoken up to stop her, she would have been humiliated in front of everyone if they really fought.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Ling Yiyi not far away, and her heart couldn't help but warm up.
"Younger Brother Liu is indeed extraordinary. I heard that you fought a Celestial Phenomenon stemborer alone during the battle at Dawnfall Peak. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen it for myself, you really do live up to your reputation." Kun Yu's expression didn't look too good, but she still forced a smile.
"You're too kind, Senior Brother Kun. If you weren't injured, I'm sure this Celestial Phenomenon stemborer wouldn't have been able to do anything to you," Liu Ming said with a smile.
Hearing this, Kun Yu's expression eased a little.
Seeing that Liu Ming had subdued the earthworm stemborer, the Taiqing Gate disciples and the Ye Family cultivators flew over from afar, and they all looked shocked.
Calan stood among the crowd and looked at Liu Ming with admiration.
"Fellow Daoists of the Taiqing High Sect are indeed powerful. However, how should we deal with this stemborer?" The Ye Family Leader looked at the yellow mountain and asked in awe.
Liu Ming heard this. He also looked at the mountain formed by the Mountain River Pearl, and a trace of contemplation appeared on his face.
"Younger Brother Liu, although this Celestial Phenomenon stemborer has been subdued, it's better to get rid of it before anything else happens," Kun Yu said.
Long Yanfei also nodded. Her flying sword was still in the stemborer's stomach, and it would be terrible if its spirituality was tainted by the corrosive gas in its stomach.
"Alright!" Liu Ming nodded, and his mind raced.
Now that the stemborer was subdued under the mountain, if he moved the mountain away, it would definitely escape. It seemed like he had to use other methods to kill this stemborer.
At this moment, the originally stable mountain suddenly trembled, and the yellow light on the ground shook violently.
Everyone was shocked.
Before Liu Ming had time to do anything, an earth-shattering sound suddenly came from the ground. The ground within a radius of a thousand feet suddenly caved in, and then exploded with a loud bang.
There seemed to be an explosion underground!
The yellow light on the yellow mountain was torn apart, and the entire mountain swayed, tilting to the side from the explosion. A grey shadow shot out from the bottom of the mountain, then shot into the distance.
The grey shadow was the stemborer, but for some reason, its huge body had shrunk a lot.
Lightning flashed, and a purple sword light carried Liu Ming's body as it shot toward the stemborer.
At the same time, yellow light flashed on the surface of the yellow mountain, and it turned back into 12 yellow beads, which turned into a streak of yellow light as it chased after Liu Ming.
Before everyone could react, Liu Ming and the stemborer had already turned into two specks of light, almost disappearing into the distance.
Long Yanfei also turned into a streak of azure light, and also hurriedly gave chase.
Shangguan Yanyu and Ling Yiyi were about to give chase, but Kun Yu stretched out a hand to stop them.
"The Celestial Phenomenon stemborer only managed to break free after it self-destructed its demon core. It should be much weaker now. Junior Brother Liu and Junior Sister Long should be able to handle it. Let's get rid of the stemborers in the mine first. That's our main objective," Kun Yu said slowly.
The intense battle between everyone and the stemborer had already spread out, and the intense magic power fluctuations had already spread out.
The stemborer in the mine had also sensed that the stemborer was defeated, and now that the thousands of stemborers were in chaos, it was a good opportunity to exterminate them.
Shangguan Yanyu and Ling Yiyi looked at each other with a hint of joy in their eyes.
The main credit for this mission belonged to Liu Ming, but if they exterminated this group of stemborers, they would at least receive some credit.
Kun Yu immediately led the Taiqing Gate disciples and the Ye Family cultivators toward the mine.
On the other side, Liu Ming and the earthworm-like stemborer were chasing each other.
The Celestial stage stemborer had detonated its demon core, and the spiritual pressure it emitted had fallen to the Jin Dan stage. However, its body was covered in a layer of grey flame, and its speed was beyond his expectations.
Liu Ming was already flying on his sword, and with the help of the Beast Armor Art wings, he still could not catch up.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already flown for a thousand miles.
A hint of coldness flashed across Liu Ming's eyes. He could not continue chasing like this. Although the stemborer's strength had been greatly reduced, he did not know what would happen if he continued chasing.
He had already refined the Cicada Crystal Wings that Patriarch Xuanyu had given him, and this was a good time to test out its power.
With that in mind, the silver wings on his back withdrew at his behest. Green light flashed, and a pair of translucent wings that were around 10 feet in size appeared on his back.
"This is the Cicada Crystal Wings …"
Liu Ming's eyes flashed. At this moment, there was a pair of emerald green mini wings floating in his Spiritual Sea, and there were wisps of faint green flames burning on them.
The Jin Dan in his Spiritual Sea moved, and a stream of pure spiritual power was injected into the emerald green wings, and the green cicada wings on his back flapped.
Whoosh!
His entire body instantly became hazy, and in a blur, he had dashed hundreds of feet away.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face immediately revealed an ecstatic expression. This speed was many times faster than before.
The only regret was that when he activated the Cicada Crystal Wings, the flames on the wings in his Spiritual Sea instantly increased by a few times, and the emerald green crystal wings were slowly shrinking at a speed that was not visible to the naked eye.
According to this speed, the Cicada Crystal Wings could not be used for long!
