There was a loud bang!
The tiger head projection and the red pincer projection both exploded upon contact.
At the same time, Liu Ming's right hand had already grasped onto a sword pouch hanging from his waist, and several hand seals flashed before quickly disappearing into the sword pouch.
A barely audible ringing sound rang out from within the sword pouch!
The surrounding space contracted, and a ball of golden light shot forth before instantly disappearing without a trace. The nearby air rippled as if it had been sliced open by water.
The Celestial Phenomenon Stemborer's ears suddenly pricked up in shock, and it completely ignored the white-browed scholar as it hurtled toward the side like lightning. Crimson light erupted forth from its body without any reservation, and at the same time, its two pincer arms began to rotate like a wheel, protecting all of its vitals.
"Slash!"
Liu Ming yelled as he quickly pointed a finger forward, and a small golden ball appeared behind the Celestial Phenomenon Stemborer in a wraith-like manner before rotating on its own.
"Sou!"
The Celestial Phenomenon Stemborer faltered in mid-air, and a faint sword projection flashed through the air, slicing through its neck before disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.
A look of incredulity appeared on the Heavenly Phenomenon Stemborer's face, and it began to mutter something inaudible and indistinct. A long crimson line appeared on its arms and neck, following which its head, arms, and body were separated from the rest of its body, sending a plume of black blood mist raining down from the sky.
After witnessing the Celestial State borer being sliced into pieces in an instant, the few Real Pellet State borer worms who had just flown to the edge of the forest changed their ferocious nature and wanted to escape immediately.
How could these Jin Dan Stage stemborers withstand a being that could easily slay a mid-Celestial Phenomenon Stemborer?
Right at this moment, the small golden ball in the distance disappeared in a flash again.
In the next instant, the space in front of the Jin Dan Stage Stemborer fluctuated, and the golden ball silently reappeared. At the same time, an indistinct sword projection swept past before disappearing into the void again.
"Puff!"
The One-Horned Stemborer let out an indignant screech before its head was instantly separated from its body, and it fell heavily onto the ground, dead.
From the moment Liu Ming appeared to the moment he released the sword orb to kill the two high-grade Stemborers, it had only been a short while, and everyone present was completely dumbfounded.
"I'll leave the rest of the Stemborers to you!" Liu Ming glanced at the others and said faintly. He waved one hand, and the golden ball appeared in front of him in a flash. After spinning for a while, it went into the Void Sword Bag on his waist, disappearing together with the sword bag.
Ouyang Qian and the others only came to their senses upon hearing this, and they immediately led the dozens of Crystal Level disciples behind them toward the remaining Stemborers that had yet to escape.
Liu Ming hovered in mid-air and looked at the corpses of the Stemborers on the ground. With a wave of his sleeve, a black Qi flashed, and a Jin Dan Stemborer Beast Core and a Celestial Phenomenon Beast Core appeared.
He looked at the departing group of human cultivators with a contemplative look on his face.
He was quite satisfied with the effect of activating the sword pill for the first time after the nourishment was completed. It was just that with the pure spiritual power of his Real Pellet State later stage, he had consumed more than one-third of his spiritual power to activate the sword pill. This made him a little speechless.
...
A few days later, the battle at the Jade Dream Mountain Ranges finally came to an end. After receiving a message from the Sect, Liu Ming returned to the Myriad Spirit Mountain Ranges via the teleportation formation.
As soon as he returned to the cave house in Stupa Mountain, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked down at the soul-recovering bag around his waist, and released a wisp of Divine Sense into it.
After a while, Liu Ming was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he took out the Celestial Phenomenon Beast Cores and Jin Dan Beast Cores he had obtained from fighting the Stemborers over the years, and threw them into the soul-recovering bag.
However, after a moment of contemplation, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he flipped his right hand, and a few emerald green bottles also flashed into the soul-recovering bag.
"Looks like the Scorpion is also about to break through the bottleneck."
...
One year later.
Located in the northern part of the Middle Sky Continent, in a rather secluded gourd-shaped valley adjacent to the boundless snowy mountains.
The valley was covered with thick snow everywhere, but it didn't affect the abundant spirit of the world in the slightest, and there was a rich herbal fragrance everywhere.
This was the location of the Shennong Valley, a 10,000-year-old sect famous for its pill refinement.
At this moment, deep in the valley, in a large hall built against a mountain.
This hall was about a few thousand meters in size. Although most of it was in the mountain, the layout was quite ingenious. Some tree roots as thick as 2 people were neatly spread throughout the hall, acting as pillars. The tree roots were covered with countless fist-sized white stones, emitting a milky white light that illuminated all corners.
In front of the main seat of the hall, an old man in green clothes with a strong medicinal fragrance was already standing. He was the current master of Shennong Valley, Wen Kurong.
Although this person was only at the Jin Dan Intermediate Stage, he was famous in the entire Middle Sky Continent. Some people might not know the names of the 2 Celestial State elders of Shennong Valley, but they must know the master of Shennong Valley who had reached perfection in alchemy.
On the chairs on both sides of the hall, there were already several people sitting. One of them was the Ethereal Comprehending cultivator of Taiqing Gate, Master Xuan Yu.
Beside him sat a burly man with thick eyebrows in a brown bear robe. Judging from his attire, he should be a cultivator of Sky Beastkin Valley.
On the other side, there were 3 people sitting, a beautiful young woman in a yellow robe of Nature Work Sect, a thin old man in a black robe of Demon Mystic Sect, and a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe with white eyebrows and a long beard.
The breath exuded by these 4 people was not inferior to Old Ancestor Xuan Yu. They were all powerful cultivators of Ethereal Comprehending level.
In addition, under the white stones hanging on the tree roots in the hall, there was a humanoid phantasm in various costumes. Looking at their appearance, they were the pillars of the major forces of the Middle Sky Continent.
"Valley Master Wen, now that you've sent such an urgent message to gather everyone, it seems that the previous plan has already been prepared, right?" A humanoid figure in embroidered clothes revealed an understanding expression and said with a faint smile.
"Senior Seven Star is really well-informed. There is nothing to hide. Thanks to the seniors who trusted me that day, they entrusted the important task to Shennong Valley. For the safety of the entire continent, we will naturally go all out. After spending countless manpower and material resources, we just developed the poison in our hand a few days ago. Now everything is ready, and we can start mass production at any time. " The old man in green clothes on the main seat replied respectfully. He flipped his right hand, and a small bottle of black jade the size of a thumb flew out of his hand.
The big hand full of vicissitudes pointed casually in the air, and a cloud of gray mist swarmed up and held the small bottle of black jade.
When everyone heard this, they all had different expressions. They all looked at the ink-jade bottle.
"It seems that seniors still have some doubts. According to the requirements of the seniors, this medicine is harmless to our human race. Why don't I experiment it for you now? But please restrain your breath, so as not to scare the stemborers for the experiment. " Valley Master Wen spoke in a confident manner at the sight of the confused expressions on everyone's faces. He then swept his index finger through the air, and the lid of the black jade bottle was instantly removed. The bottle tipped toward the ground, and a drop of dense green liquid drifted out. A strange odor immediately wafted through the entire hall.
Patriarch Xuan Yu and the other mighty figures did as they were told. They withdrew their auras and narrowed their eyes to observe more closely.
Valley Master Wen seemed to have been prepared for this, and he placed his left hand onto a white pouch hanging from his waist. A streak of black light instantly shot forth, and a few black beetles landed beneath the bottle before pouncing toward everyone with menacing expressions. These were all low-grade Stemborers.
Before these stemborers had a chance to take even a single step forward, several white halos flashed through the air, instantly enshrouding these Stemborers and separating them. The Stemborer Race beetles were extremely vicious, but there was nothing they could do.
Immediately thereafter, the green-robed man pointed a finger forward, and a drop of poison the size of a fingernail flew toward one of the Stemborer Race beetles.
The Stemborer Race beetle was already extremely enraged, and in the face of the green speck of light, it opened its cavernous mouth and bit down with all its might before swallowing the drop of poison.
All of a sudden, the Stemborer Race beetle's eyes turned bloodshot, and it began to writhe and writhe on the ground. After just a few breaths, it suddenly fell completely lifeless.
Immediately thereafter, the green-robed man raised a hand, and the white barriers around the Stemborer Race beetle connected as one. The remaining Stemborer Race beetles were immediately surrounded by the carcass of the dead Stemborer Race beetle.
Without any warning, the Stemborer Race beetles began to devour the carcass without any hesitation.
The remaining Stemborer Race beetles only managed to take a single bite of the carcass before they were completely lifeless, just like the first Stemborer Race beetle.
All of the humanoid projections were stunned to see this, and all of them turned toward the small black jade bottle with incredulous expressions.
"Hehe, the Shennong Valley sure has some tricks up its sleeve. To think that they were able to infuse the blood of the Stemborer Race into the poison through some secret technique, yet the potency of the poison remains undiminished. In this way, once a stemborer was poisoned, its blood would quickly become poisoned as well. The stemborers were extremely ferocious, and they would eat their injured comrades in battle. At the same time, the poison would constantly spread. With the characteristics of this plague, no matter how many troops the Stemborer Tribe has, it will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out as long as they don't have the antidote! "The skinny old man's eyes lit up.
"Senior Situ is right! On top of that, our Shennong Valley has also concocted a supplementary powder that can instantly enrage the low-grade insect beasts of the Stemborer Race. That way, the Stemborer Race will be even more enraged, and the poison will spread through the Stemborer Race even faster, "the elderly man chuckled in a confident manner.
