In the blink of an eye, countless low-grade stemborers below the Crystal Formation Stage were killed or wounded.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Ming, Xiao Longzi, and the other Jin Dan cultivators had left piles of low-grade stemborer carcasses in their wake.
However, these carcasses were nothing compared to the massive army of several million Stemborers, and the gap was instantly filled up by the swarm of stemborers that had just arrived.
The large number of low-grade stemborer carcasses naturally attracted the attention of nearby stemborers that had just arrived.
However, the expected evolution didn't take place. Instead, after devouring the bodies of the low-grade stemborers that had been poisoned to death, the low-grade stemborers immediately fell to the ground and convulsed violently. Before they had a chance to die, they were swarmed by more stemborers and devoured.
Ever since Liu Ming and the others began to unleash their lethal poison, the number of low-grade Stemborers that had been poisoned to death had far exceeded the number of Stemborers that had been directly poisoned to death. There were over 200,000 to 300,000 low-grade Stemborers, and the number of dead stemborers was only increasing at a rapid rate.
As the number of low-grade stemborers continued to increase, some of the mid-grade and high-grade Stemborers that were engaged in battle with the human cultivators finally realized the severity of the situation.
All of a sudden, a series of strange cries of different durations rang out from the mouths of the Jin Dan Stemborers!
The low-grade Stemborers down below seemed to have received some sort of command, and expressions of shock and horror appeared on their faces as they completely ignored their own poisoned brethren and pounced toward Liu Ming and the others in a frenzy.
Right at this moment, the air above suddenly warped, and a grey figure emerged amid a flash of grey light.
The grey figure gradually became clearer, revealing a mundane-looking square face. It was none other than Master Xuan Yu, one of the four Elemental Enlightenment Stage cultivators of the Taiqing Gate.
He raised a hand without any hesitation, and a streak of white light condensed in his palm, following which a white bone horn emerged.
The bone horn appeared to be extremely intricate with countless inscriptions carved onto its surface. There was a layer of black light swirling over its surface, and it seemed as if one's soul would be sucked away just by looking at it.
This was none other than the Illusionary Horn refined from the skull of a Stemborer Queen clone.
Ancestor Xuanyu took a deep breath and gently put the Illusory Sound Horn into his mouth with his right hand. Then, a thick aura mixed with pure magic power surged into the horn in his hand.
"Woo …"
The low and deep sound of the bugle horn clearly sounded in the air. Waves of formless sound waves immediately swept out in all directions with Esteemed Xuan Yu at the center.
This was a magic treasure refined from the skull of an Arcane Insight cultivator, and under the control of an Arcane Insight cultivator, it was able to instantly cover an area with a radius of over 500 kilometers.
This voice wasn't very loud, but it was able to completely drown out the roars of the mid-to-high-grade Stemborers.
As the sound of the Illusory Sound Horn rang out in the distance, a hint of bloodlust appeared in the eyes of the low-grade stemborers again, and they were no longer under the control of the mid-grade stemborers as they continued to devour the stemborer carcasses in their path.
The poison quickly spread, and the entire Stemborer army descended into chaos again.
Seeing this, the Real Pellet State moths naturally couldn't do anything about Ancestor Xuan Yu who was far away in the sky. They could only rush toward the poisoning team angrily, trying to stop the poisoning team.
The battle became more and more intense, and the casualties of the poisoning squad also increased.
Deep within the Stemborer army, a black light lit up, and four black figures were attacking a burly human from all sides.
The four black figures were all half-humanoid stemborers, all of whom were exuding mid-to-late-stage Jin Dan stage auras.
One of them had three crimson eyes, another had an inky-black horn on its head, and the last two were burly stemborers covered in a layer of green armor with sharp barbs all over their bodies.
These four stemborers were extremely fast, and they were extremely ruthless and decisive in their attacks.
However, the burly human was able to control the golden flying sword in his hand to a superb level, and it transformed into a golden sword barrier that protected his entire body. As a result, he was able to hold his own against the four stemborers with ease and was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.
This was none other than the secret disciple of the Taiqing Gate, Jiu Longzi!
The three-eyed stemborer was enraged by the fact that it was unable to determine a victor, and it opened its third eye, upon which a crimson pillar of light as thick as a large bowl hurtled toward the golden light barrier.
Jiu Longzi seemed to have been prepared for this. He changed a hand seal, and the golden longsword abruptly transformed into a massive golden sword projection that soared into the sky.
Just as the crimson pillar of light and the golden sword light were about to collide …
The golden swordlight trembled slightly and transformed into a dozen or so sword projections with astonishing auras. A small portion of them struck the crimson pillar of light before disappearing in a flash along with the black light.
However, a large portion of the sword projections suddenly changed directions and hurtled toward the three-eyed stemborer, and along the way, they suddenly converged to form an extremely life-like golden snake.
"Pi Pi Pa Pa" The sound of gold ripping and silk tearing suddenly rang out, followed by a "Pu" sound!
The three-eyed stemborer's body was punctured like paper by the golden snake, and blood sprayed through the air in a torrential downpour.
The other Green Carapace Stemborer let loose an enraged roar as it unleashed some kind of strange cultivation art, and it suddenly appeared not far behind Jiu Longzi, as if it had teleported.
A loud screeching sound rang out!
The sharp spikes on its green armor shot forth, streaking through the air as they hurtled toward Jiu Longzi with ferocious might.
Jiu Longzi was caught off guard, and it was already too late for him to evade. As such, he could only prepare to take the attack head-on.
Right at this moment, a sudden turn of events abruptly unfolded behind him!
A vast expanse of azure light swept forth from behind the stemborer, enshrouding its entire body within.
This was a massive, malevolent azure ox that had taken on a substantial form, and it was silently flying toward the stemborer!
All of a sudden, wisps of black smoke began to rise from the body of the Green Carapace Stemborer, and it let loose a string of pained screams.
The azure ox stomped its massive hoof forward, and a dull thump rang out as the Green Carapace Stemborer was crushed beneath its hooves, knocking it unconscious on the spot.
The azure ox then opened its cavernous mouth and began to tear at the body of the Green Carapace Stemborer...
"Candle God?"
The remaining Black Carapace Stemborer exclaimed in shock at the sight of the azure ox, and it immediately turned around to flee.
However, in the next instant, golden light flashed in the air, and a black-veiled young woman emerged. She swept a sleeve through the air, and a swath of yellow light swept forth. It was none other than the Scorpion, who had been hiding nearby for some time.
As soon as the golden light came into contact with the Black Carapace Stemborer's massive body, it let loose a strange cry and hurriedly shot back in retreat.
The black-veiled young woman naturally gave chase upon seeing this.
Almost at the exact same moment, Liu Ming also shot forth from within the swarm of stemborers and positioned himself in front of the final Green Carapace Stemborer.
He raised his right hand through the air, and the Ku Lun Sword flashed through the air, striking the Green Carapace Stemborer's body at a diagonal angle.
The Green Carapace Stemborer let loose a strange cry as a layer of keratin appeared over its body. However, in the face of the purple lightning surging from the giant purple sword, it was as if it didn't exist at all. Purple light flashed from its waist, and its body was sliced in half as it plummeted toward the ground, sending a vast expanse of blood and flesh raining down from above.
From the moment the azure ox had appeared to the moment Liu Ming had unleashed his attack, everything had happened as fast as lightning.
Xiao Longzi was ecstatic to see this.
He had heard that Liu Ming was capable of battling Celestial Phenomenon Stemborers, but he hadn't witnessed it in person, so he naturally hadn't been able to fully believe it. However, after witnessing this battle with his spirit pet, he no longer had any doubts.
However, now was not the time for pleasantries. He nodded toward Liu Ming before summoning his golden longsword back to his side, then continued to slaughter his way through the Stemborers.
"Master, there are too many Stemborers. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
A yellow light flashed beside Liu Ming, and Scorpion Er's figure appeared beside him. She threw out a huge stemborer's head in her hand.
"Don't worry, the nearby high-grade Stemborers are only at the Jin Dan Stage. We're already deep within the Stemborer army, so just don't stray too far away from me, "Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
Scorpion responded with a soft "hmm". Her graceful figure flashed in the khaki light and disappeared again.
After looking around, Liu Ming's figure blurred and flew toward another place where the stemborers were densely packed.
He flipped a hand over, and a bulging yellow cloth pouch appeared in his hand. He raised it into the air, and a cloud of yellow dust drifted through the air before quickly enshrouding a group of low-grade Stemborers around him. Something astonishing then ensued.
The dust seemed to have a mind of its own, and it dispersed before pouncing toward the Stemborers up ahead.
As soon as the low-grade Stemborers came into contact with the dust, their eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and they pounced toward Liu Ming with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Liu Ming was already prepared for this, and he didn't waste any time. Black light flashed from his body, and he flew toward another Stemborer army several thousand feet away, leaving a trail of yellow dust in his wake.
All of the low-grade Stemborers that had lost their targets immediately turned to their closest brethren and began to tear them apart with no regard for their lives.
At this point, close to half of the secret disciple that had infiltrated the Stemborer army had fallen, and the remaining disciples began to release the dust that would drive the Stemborers insane. At the same time, they joined forces to kill any Jin Dan Stemborers that attempted to control the low-grade Stemborers and end the chaos.
The Berserk Medicine perfectly complemented the poison, and the Stemborer army was once again swept through the Stemborer army. Hordes of low-grade Stemborers were killed, and the Stemborers suffered heavy losses. Some were turned into cold corpses, while others tore at each other in a frenzy. Before long, the Stemborer army had lost millions of low-grade Stemborers.
It was clear that the battle was tilting in the direction that the higher-ups of the ZhongTian Alliance had anticipated...
