The Filth Tribe were no fools. Although they couldn't find out the specifics, they could still sense the general situation.
They'd sent two peak Yue Yao to deal with the Jade Conch, but to no avail. Clearly, they'd realized how difficult the Jade Conch was to deal with.
The Water Spirit Filth had self-destructed not only because it knew it had no chance of survival, but also because it was sending a message to the Filth Tribe on the other end of the insect path.
Judging from the results, its plan had undoubtedly succeeded. Within the insect path, the Filth Tribe members who'd been preparing to reinforce the Jade Conch retreated, and the Yue Yao's aura slowly faded away.
The battle wasn't over yet.
The Filth Tribe had more than just Yue Yao. There were also constellations and divine seas. Although some of them had died in the aftermath of the battle, most of them had managed to survive.
The Jade Conch battleships and constellations hunted the Filth Tribe members outside the gray fog, but due to the distance, they couldn't wipe them all out.
However, now that the Yue Yao had retreated, the constellations and divine seas' Filth Tribe members were unlikely to survive.
A short while later, the Filth Tribe members in the gray fog were all killed, and a group of Yue Yao charged out.
Apart from Ma Shangsi, everyone else was covered in dust, their auras unstable. This was a clear sign that they'd been corroded by the power of filth.
Although the battle hadn't lasted very long, Jade Conch's Yue Yao hadn't been able to protect themselves in such an intense battle. It was inevitable that they'd be corroded by the power of filth.
This was especially true of the Water Spirit Filth Tribe's final self-destruction. The thick, viscous filth had spread out in all directions. Even Lu Ye's Black Tortoise Formation hadn't been able to block it, let alone the others.
A group of people gathered around Lu Ye. He helped them burn away the filth in their bodies.
As he busied himself, Lu Ye frowned as he stared at the gray fog.
Things were getting a little troublesome.
Although this battle had crushed the Filth Tribe's plan to invade the Jade Conch, and they'd even killed every last one of them, the gray fog formed by filth had grown even larger.
In terms of size alone, it was twice as large as before, and the filth inside was undoubtedly thicker.
After all, so many Filth Tribe members had died, and there were more than a dozen Yue Yao among them. After they died, the filth in their bodies would leak out.
Lu Ye had never experienced such a battle before. Killing the enemy was not enough, but after the enemy died, they left behind an indelible filth. It was truly difficult to deal with.
After a short while, the filth in Yueyao's body was completely burned away, and her complexion looked much better.
Chou Wu looked at the area shrouded in grey fog and said, "Although we won this battle, the insect path is still there. If we don't deal with it, Jade Conch will never have peace!"
Lu Ye turned to Ma Shangsi and said, "The Filthy Race has already located the jade conch. If we find a way to deal with this insect path, will the Filthy Race be able to locate this place and open the insect path again?"
If that was the case, it wouldn't work even if they destroyed the Insect Path because the Depraved Race could open another Insect Path at any time.
Ma Shangsi said, "I don't think so. As far as I know, although the Heavenly Frost Mirror has the ability to locate a target, it requires some preparation. In other words, if the Filth Race can establish a foothold here, they will have the ability to establish another Insect Path. Now that the Filthy Race has been wiped out, without any reinforcements, the Heavenly Frost Mirror's Heavenly Frost Qi is completely random. "
Lu Ye understood, "In other words, as long as we destroy this Insect Path, it will be almost impossible for the Filthy Race to locate Jade Conch again."
The Starry Sky was vast, and although the Heavenly Frost Mirror was a Starry Sky Supreme Treasure, the location of the Heavenly Frost Qi was random. Jade Conch had been unlucky enough to be selected once, but it couldn't be selected a second time. The chances were too slim.
"That's right." Ma Shangsi nodded.
"Then things will be easy." Lu Ye turned to look at Chou Wu.
The latter understood and immediately ordered, "Rest for a while. Half a day later, follow this old man to destroy the insect path!"
If it was a stable insect path, it would be impossible for the group of Yueyao to destroy it, but in the end, this was not a stable insect path, so there was still some room for manipulation.
After the great battle and the corrosion of the filth, everyone had consumed a lot of energy, so they immediately sat down to meditate.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. There was no movement from the insect path, but the insect path was still there, which made Lu Ye feel a little uneasy.
Because the Filthy Race's defeat in Jade Conch was obvious, they probably didn't dare to send Yueyao here to avoid further losses. Since that was the case, it meant that the Filthy Race knew they couldn't do anything to them.
But why was the insect path still there? Logically speaking, the Filthy Race could have used the Heavenly Frost Mirror to close the insect path.
The Filthy Race had the ability to do so. Since they didn't do so, they were obviously unwilling to give up and were probably going to try again!
Lu Ye had never dealt with the Filthy Race before, so he couldn't guess what they were thinking. But no matter what they were going to do, it was always right to make the first move.
Under Chou Wu's lead, the group of Yueyao charged into the filthy land and soon arrived at the insect path.
The formation dispersed, Chou Wu stood still and ordered, "Let's go!"
In the next instant, magic power surged, and the aura of each Yueyao rose steadily, but no one attacked.
Everyone was accumulating power. They were obviously going to use their strongest techniques to end the battle in one fell swoop.
Lu Ye activated the Fire Phoenix Spirit Inscriptions. Even though he didn't think there was much hope, he could only try his best under such circumstances.
After a full twenty breaths, accompanied by a roar, Jade Conch's first attack was launched. An attack condensed from violent magic power crashed into the insect path.
Then came the second, the third …
Lu Ye's Fire Phoenix also pounced on the insect path, the scorching power almost distorting the space.
More than ten Yueyao unleashed their full power. Although there was no systematic coordination, and they were just attacking without thinking, such an attack was so powerful that even Sunshine would have to avoid it.
The void trembled, and dazzling light exploded continuously, the aftermath spreading in all directions.
Lu Ye paid close attention to the insect path's movements until everything calmed down. When the insect path entered his field of vision, he couldn't help but frown.
It really didn't work!
Before he attacked, he actually had some guesses. The insect path was too mysterious, and it was very difficult to shake it from the outside.
If the insect path could really be shaken by external forces, then there should have been signs when the Water Spirit Filthy Clan self-destructed.
One had to know that when the Water Spirit Filthy Clan self-destructed, they were standing right next to the insect path. The impact of the self-destruction was much stronger than the attack launched by Lu Ye and the others.
Even the Water Spirit Filthy Clan's self-destruction didn't have any impact on the insect path, so what was the point of their side's attack?
If they wanted to destroy the insect path, they had to start from the inside.
To put it simply, Yue Yao had to pass through the Insect Path. As long as enough of them passed through, the stability of the Insect Path would be affected. This could be seen from the commotion caused by the descent of the Giant Filth Tribe and Water Spirit Filth Tribe.
However, this was impossible. The Yueyao of the Filthy Clan could invade Jade Conch through the insect path, but the Yueyao of Jade Conch couldn't go to the Filthy Clan through the insect path. That would be courting death.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if one of the Yueyao was willing to sacrifice herself, one was definitely not enough. As for how many Yueyao would be needed to make the insect path collapse, that was a number that no one could calculate.
The Yueyao of Jade Conch were undoubtedly aware of this as well, and their expressions were ugly.
They didn't try a second time. Some things only needed to be verified once. Too many attempts would only be a waste of time and energy.
"Let's retreat for now!" Chou Wu waved his hand.
The group retreated from the Filthy Land dejectedly. Because there was no battle this time, everyone protected themselves well and didn't get corroded by the power of filth.
"What do we do now?" Han Dong looked worried.
Lu Ye was also very annoyed. The insect path was a huge problem. Other things aside, Jade Conch's group of Yueyao were basically nailed to death here. Even he couldn't leave.
However, they really didn't have the ability to destroy the insect path, so they could only let the Filthy Clan know the difficulty and retreat.
From Jade Conch's perspective, the Filthy Clan's losses in the previous battle were undoubtedly huge. After all, there were more than ten Yueyao, and even two peak Yueyao had died.
However, that was from Jade Conch's perspective. Jade Conch itself wasn't strong, and a dozen Yueyao was already a very strong force.
However, from the Filthy Clan's perspective, a dozen Yueyao was probably nothing. Therefore, even with such losses, they didn't give up on Jade Conch. Otherwise, they would have closed the insect path long ago.
Now that the insect path was still there, it meant that the Filthy Clan was still interested in Jade Conch.
This wasn't a good sign.
Everyone was silent. They didn't have any good ideas.
Amidst this silence, there was suddenly movement on the insect path.
Everyone sensed it immediately and hurriedly looked in that direction.
Many faint auras appeared on the insect path, and they became clearer and clearer. This undoubtedly meant that Filthy Clan members were passing through the insect path and rushing over.
However, based on the strength of their auras, the Filthy Clan members weren't strong. In fact, they were very weak.
They were only at the Divine Sea Realm …
Unlike the Yueyao who needed some time to pass through the insect path, the Divine Sea Filthy Clan members passed through the insect path very quickly. Almost the moment everyone sensed it, Filthy Clan members had already rushed out of the insect path and descended on the Filthy Land.
More and more figures appeared one after another.
In just a moment, more than a hundred Divine Sea Filthy Clan members appeared there, and more were rushing over.
"Kill them!" Chou Wu ordered. He didn't need to do anything at all. One of the two warships erupted with a bright beam of light that shot toward the gathering place of the Filthy Clan members.
In an instant, countless Divine Sea Filthy Clan members were killed.
However, it couldn't stop the Filthy Clan's invasion at all. All kinds of figures continuously appeared on the insect path.
The two warships began to move, killing batch after batch, but even so, they were still somewhat powerless.
The Jade Conch Constellations gathered around the Filthy Land began to attack. The exit of the insect path immediately became a burial ground for living beings. (End of chapter)
