The stemborer had clearly sensed the change in Liu Ming's speed, and it let loose a howl of shock and horror as its body abruptly plummeted toward a valley down below.
At the same time, it abruptly turned around and blasted a thick pillar of grey light toward Liu Ming.
Liu Ming made a sword gesture, and the purple sword qi on the surface of his body was released. It spun around his body and condensed into a thousand meters translucent giant purple sword. Purple lightning arcs were entangled on it.
This was none other than the man and sword as one technique!
Before the giant sword had even moved, ripples that were visible to the naked eye had already appeared in the surrounding space.
After reaching the Jin Dan stage, Liu Ming was able to unleash this secret technique many times more powerful than before.
The giant purple sword slashed through the air gently, dispersing the pillar of grey light released by the stemborer before appearing above its head in a flash.
The stemborer was greatly alarmed by the oncoming sword intent. The purple sword was simply too fast, and it only had time to condense a barrier of grey light around its body before the massive sword came crashing down with unstoppable force.
Right at this moment, bolts of golden lightning suddenly appeared on the surface of the giant purple sword, instantly transforming it into a golden lightning sword.
The golden lightning sword blurred before flashing through the stemborer's body, shattering the grey light around its body like paper mache.
Meanwhile, the stemborer's body swayed in mid-air before it was instantly sliced in half from its abdomen, and copious amounts of grey blood gushed forth.
The huge golden sword dissipated in a flash, revealing Liu Ming's figure.
At this moment, arcs of golden lightning revolved around his body, making him appear as if he were a golden lightning god. There was a complex five-colored insignia on his chest, and it was none other than the Heavenly Lightning Technique insignia.
The golden lightning disappeared in a flash, and Liu Ming's face paled slightly, but a hint of elation still appeared in his eyes.
After fusing the Heavenly Lightning Technique into the Bitter Wheel Sword, the power of the Bitter Wheel Sword had increased significantly. Otherwise, even though the man and sword as one technique could've injured the stemborer, there was no way it would've been able to slice it in half so cleanly.
The two halves of the stemborer crashed into the ground of the valley like meteorites, kicking up a cloud of dust.
However, grey light swirled around the wounds on the two halves of his body, and he fled in two different directions as streaks of grey light.
Liu Ming was also shocked to see this, but he immediately snorted coldly and slapped his left shoulder. A green light swept out and wrapped around the half of the stemborer's body at lightning speed. At the same time, he pointed with his other hand and the Bitter Wheel Flying Sword shot out like lightning towards the other half of the body.
The sword Qi was as fast as lightning, and it swept through the other half of the stemborer's body in the blink of an eye before returning to the stemborer amid a resounding boom, upon which the other half of the stemborer's body was reduced to dust.
A moment later, the green light rolled back and landed in front of Liu Ming.
There was a grey ball of light within the green light, and it was struggling left and right. However, every time it came into contact with the green light, its grey light would be devoured by the green light.
After a few attempts, the grey ball of light finally calmed down, and a miniature half-human half-worm could be seen within it. This was most likely the soul essence of this Celestial State stemborer.
"Candle God! This is the Candle God ability! Kid, how did you cultivate this ability? "the stemborer soul essence yelled at Liu Ming.
"You sure talk a lot!"
Liu Ming raised an eyebrow. He couldn't be bothered to waste time with this stemborer soul essence. He reached into the green light and released a black light that enveloped the soul essence.
Soul Searching Technique!
The Celestial State stemborer should know a lot of things, especially the distribution of stemborers in the Qing Sang Mountain Range. Otherwise, Liu Ming would've destroyed this soul essence with a single punch.
"Argh!"
"You possess the Candle God ability … You are a target that the Stemborer Tribe must kill … Master Stemborer Mother will never let you off!" the Celestial State stemborer soul essence roared, but its voice became softer and softer before it finally faded into nothingness.
Liu Ming ignored it expressionlessly. The black light in his hand shrouded the stemborer's soul essence, and a huge mental power penetrated it.
After an indeterminate period of time, Liu Ming opened his eyes and abruptly rubbed his hands together. The stemborer soul essence let loose a wail of anguish before disintegrating into nothingness.
Right at this moment, a streak of green light flew over, and Long Yanfei's slender figure appeared in a flash.
The woman's pupils contracted slightly at the sight of the stemborer's carcass on the ground, but a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. She waved a hand, and a small silver sword flew out of the stemborer's carcass, giving off sharp sword Qi before flying back into her hand.
The silver sword was a little dim, clearly having suffered some damage in the stemborer's stomach, but it wasn't a big deal.
Long Yanfei finally heaved a sigh of relief, and a light flashed through her eyes.
"Junior Brother Liu's methods are truly extraordinary. In just a short period of time, he single-handedly killed a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant stemborer. If this matter were to spread back to the sect, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely."
"You're far too kind, Senior Sister," Liu Ming said with a faint smile as he turned toward the valley ahead.
"With your current strength, you're most likely the most powerful being below the Celestial Phenomenon Stage; Sister Calan sure is blessed," Long Yanfei said with a hint of envy in her voice as she glanced at Liu Ming.
"You think too highly of me, Senior Sister Long." Liu Ming seemed to be rather absent-minded as he glanced at the carcass of the stemborer on the ground. He waved a hand through the air, and a golden wheel flew forth before transforming into a miniature golden wheel around a foot in size that landed in his hand.
"Now that this matter is over, Senior Martial Brother Kun should be exterminating the stemborers in the mine. I'll have to trouble Senior Martial Sister Long to bring this to Senior Martial Brother Kun. I still have some matters to attend to." Liu Ming handed the mini golden wheel to Long Yanfei. Without waiting for her to answer, his figure moved, turning into a black light and galloping away.
Long Yanfei took the mini golden wheel, and she looked at Liu Ming's back disappearing at an incredible speed in a daze.
Although she was a little curious as to what Liu Ming was going to do, she didn't give chase after him. Instead, she made a hand seal and flew back the way she had come.
Half an incense stick of time later, Liu Ming was hovering in the air in front of a valley in the Jade Peak Mountains. He looked back to find that Long Yanfei wasn't following him, and his expression relaxed slightly as he looked toward a cave in front of him.
In addition to discovering the stemborers in the Green Mulberry Mountain Range, he also discovered another secret in the memories of the Celestial Phenomenon Stemborers, and that was this cave in front of him.
There was a reason why the Celestial Phenomenon Stemborers were fleeing in this direction!
He chanted a few incantations, and bursts of black light appeared over his body as he flew into the cave in a flash.
The cave twisted and turned, leading to the underground.
Moments later, he arrived at a massive underground cavern. There was a black square stone door that was several tens of feet in size on one of the stone walls. It was clearly man-made, but the stone door had already been destroyed.
Liu Ming's heart stirred as he slowly flew in.
Behind the stone door was an open stone room that was several hundred feet in size, and it seemed to be a cultivator's cave.
The stone chamber was empty, and there was almost nothing in it. There was only a circular stone platform in the center of the room, several tens of feet in size.
The stone platform looked quite ancient, and it seemed to have been there for many years. At the center of the platform was an irregular azure stone slab that was several tens of feet in size. There were countless runes and formation patterns engraved on its surface, and at first glance, it seemed to be an extremely complex formation plate.
There were also several dozen azure spirit stones embedded around the stone slab, all of which exuded a faint light. Liu Ming recognized these spirit stones as Spirit Gathering Stones.
At this moment, the azure stone slab was emitting a beam of azure light that shot straight up to the top of the cave.
"Looks like this is a teleportation array. No wonder the Celestial Phenomenon Stemborers fled here." Liu Ming carefully identified the formation patterns on the azure stone slab. With his understanding of the dao of formations, these formation patterns were somewhat similar to the teleportation arrays he had seen before.
However, they were only similar. The formation patterns on the azure stone slab were much more complex than any teleportation array he had seen before, and some of the formation patterns on the stone slab were dim, as if they were damaged.
According to the Celestial Phenomenon Stemborer's memory, he had accidentally discovered this teleportation array. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he was on the brink of death, he suddenly thought of this.
Liu Ming looked at the azure stone slab in front of him, and his eyes flashed. He suddenly waved his hand, and a black lizard was thrown into the azure light beam.
This was a small monster he had just caught in the valley.
There was a flash of azure light, and the black lizard disappeared without a trace.
A hint of joy appeared in Liu Ming's eyes. This ancient azure teleportation array was indeed a teleportation array, and because there was a small spirit gathering array inlaid on the stone slab, it still worked. Due to its special structure, it didn't need to be powered by magic power at all to teleport.
He could see very clearly that all the spiritual power of the Spirit Gathering Array was gathered on this blue stone slab. Moreover, the stone slab was not connected to the stone platform below, which meant that this blue stone slab itself was a mobile Teleportation Array. As long as enough spiritual power was provided, it could be activated.
He had never heard of teleportation arrays that could be moved. Generally speaking, teleportation arrays between two regions were set to a set spatial coordinate, and there was no possibility of it moving.
But this azure stone slab in front of him...
Liu Ming walked a few steps to the front of the stone platform and reached out his hand to grab the green stone slab. With a forceful pull, the green stone slab was held in his hand. However, the green light emitted by the formation flashed and suddenly disappeared.
His expression changed, and he immediately put the azure stone slab back on the stone platform. Unfortunately, the formation patterns on the stone slab showed no signs of lighting up at all.
Liu Ming's face turned pale, but he quickly made a sound of surprise. His gaze fell on the Spirit Gathering Stone inlaid on the stone slab.
The Spiritual Power in the dozens of Spirit Gathering Stones above suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had been swallowed by something.
