The Divine Sea defilers who came from the Insect Path were killed almost as soon as they appeared. On the other hand, they didn't suffer any losses at all by attacking from afar.
However, neither Lu Ye nor Yue Yao of Jade Conch were happy at all.
This was because everyone realized what the defilers were planning!
Such a scene had happened once when the Insect Path was first formed. At that time, the defilers had sent many Divine Sea defilers from the Insect Path to protect the Jade Conch cultivators.
In the beginning, Jade Conch had the geographical advantage. The defilers who came from the other end of the Insect Path couldn't stand at all. However, as more and more defilers died, the power of defilement dissipated and slowly turned the area around the Insect Path into a land of defilement.
The Jade Conch cultivators could only retreat.
As the land of defilement expanded, the Jade Conch cultivators retreated further and further away. Their geographical advantage was gradually erased. The defilers sent out Xingxiu and Yue Yao to gradually take back the geographical advantage that originally belonged to Jade Conch.
Therefore, when Lu Ye came with Chou Wu and the others, Yue Yao, who had been stationed here for a few days, was somewhat dejected. It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but that the defilers' invasion method was too difficult to resist.
This defilement domain was a bridgehead built by the defilers.
The defilers' plan was obvious. They wanted to use the deaths of more defilers to expand the scope of their domain.
In theory, as long as enough defilers died, it was possible for the domain to cover the entire Jade Conch Galaxy. At that time, no matter how strong Lu Ye and the others were, it would be difficult for them to use it.
Of course, this was only in theory. In reality, it was almost impossible to achieve this because it would require too many defilers to die.
However, if they only expanded the scope of the defilement domain to a level that Jade Conch cultivators couldn't do anything about, there was still hope.
Other things aside, as long as the size of the domain expanded three to five times, it would be extremely dangerous for Jade Conch.
The Depraved Race had invaded and conquered countless realms, enslaving countless races. If they didn't care about their own lives, they had the ability to do this.
However, Jade Conch couldn't spare them …
This was the most disgusting thing about the defilers. Killing them wasn't good, but not killing them was even worse. Since ancient times, there had been galaxies that could withstand the defilers' first wave of attack, but they'd often lost to such shameless tactics.
The attacks did not stop, and the Defilements died one after another.
At a certain point, a strange creature that was pitch-black and round emerged from the tunnel. As soon as it appeared, it was blasted to pieces by a warship.
At the moment of this strange creature's death, an extremely thick filth suddenly erupted from its body and spread in all directions.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the Tainted Domain, which was already of a considerable size, suddenly expanded outwards!
The expressions of the group of Yue Yao changed.
The death of the Divine Sea's Filth Race only brought a small increase to the Filth Domain. However, there were too many deaths, so after the Filth Race took action, the Filth Domain slowly expanded outwards.
However, the foul energy contained within the strange creature's body was clearly extremely dense, and after its death, it brought about a clear increase in the power of the foul domain.
The situation was not good.
Of course, the Yue Yao of Jade Conch could charge in and stand guard in front of the tunnel. If the other party dared to send their Yue Yao over, they could surround them. However, fighting in the corrupted domain required them to constantly maintain their magic power. How long could the Yue Yao of Jade Conch last?
If they relaxed even a little, the Filth Race's Yue Yao would be able to successfully descend. Once they succeeded, there would be a second, a third...
"I'll go take a look," Lu Ye said as he strode towards the corrupted domain.
"Be careful!" Chou Wu didn't know what Lu Ye was planning, but if there were only Divine Sea's Filth Race there, Lu Ye wouldn't be in any danger, so he didn't stop him.
Lu Ye nodded and rushed into the corrupted domain.
The foul energy was clearly denser than before. This was a change brought about by the deaths of countless Divine Sea's Filth Race members. In such an environment, once Jade Conch and the Yue Yao entered, the pressure would definitely be greater than before.
Lu Ye stopped and silently circulated his magic power.
In the next instant, his magic power suddenly expanded outwards. His entire body seemed to be on fire. With Lu Ye as the center, a huge circle of fire spread out.
This was the eruption of his magic power. In this state, even with Lu Ye's foundation, he couldn't maintain it for too long. Thus, as he circulated his magic power, he held two spirit crystals in both hands to replenish his consumption.
Then, he activated the Talent Tree's power. Invisible roots of the Talent Tree spread out, reaching out to every corner of the domain where his magic power spread.
"Ah?" Outside the corrupted domain, Han Dong, who had been paying attention to Lu Ye's movements, suddenly exclaimed.
The others were also shocked, and then they were overjoyed.
This was because at the place where Lu Ye was located, where the fiery red halo enveloped, the grey mist-like foul energy was rapidly disappearing. In the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared, and a vacuum had appeared in the foul domain.
It was as if Lu Ye had circulated his magic power to incinerate the foul energy.
Jade Conch's Yue Yao were pleasantly surprised...
Lu Ye had previously demonstrated the ability to help them incinerate the foul energy that had invaded their bodies. Thus, when they saw this bizarre scene, although they were surprised, they felt that it was only natural.
Since he could incinerate the foul energy that had invaded their bodies, then it shouldn't be a problem to incinerate the foul energy outside.
Only Chou Wu revealed a worried expression after his initial surprise.
If Lu Ye had this ability, why hadn't he used it at the beginning? This wasn't because he was stingy, but because it would consume a lot of energy. That was why Lu Ye hadn't used it at the beginning. However, he had no choice now because the corrupted domain was expanding. If he continued to ignore it, Jade Conch's situation would be very bad.
Chou Wu's guess was correct, but not completely correct.
Lu Ye's consumption of magic power was indeed enormous, but it wasn't like what Chou Wu had imagined. If that was the case, Lu Ye wouldn't have any concerns. He could refine spirit jades to replenish his magic power.
However, incinerating the foul energy consumed the Talent Tree's fuel reserves!
Moreover, the rate of consumption was terrifying. Lu Ye could feel that the Talent Tree's fuel was rapidly decreasing.
Fortunately, he had replenished the Talent Tree's fuel before leaving the Wanxiang Sea. Otherwise, Lu Ye wouldn't have dared to do this.
Lu Ye's figure didn't stop moving. He continued to wander in the corrupted domain, incinerating the foul energy wherever he passed.
The rate of fuel consumption was terrifying.
It was dozens of times faster than when he cultivated under the Wanxiang Sea!
This wasn't because the foul energy was more powerful than the seawater of the Wanxiang Sea, but because the area he spread out was too large. Cultivating under the Wanxiang Sea was different from cultivating under the Wanxiang Sea. When he cultivated, he only needed to incinerate the impurities that invaded his body. However, he was now incinerating the foul energy around him.
He wasn't burning magic power, he was burning money! Lu Ye's heart ached to the extreme.
Soon, Lu Ye passed through the Domain of Corruption. Wherever he passed, a huge hole appeared in the Domain of Corruption.
Lu Ye turned around and charged into the corrupted domain again.
At the Insect Path, the Divine Sea's Filth Tribe continued to surge out. However, the corrupted domain could no longer expand. Instead, as Lu Ye weaved back and forth, pure lands appeared one after another.
After working for half a day, Lu Ye finally arrived at the Insect Path. At this moment, the vast corrupted domain had been incinerated by him. However, as long as the Filth Tribe continued to descend on the Insect Path, the filth would never be completely purified.
Perhaps the Filth Tribe was unaware of the situation here. Instead, the Divine Sea's Filth Tribe showed no signs of stopping.
Lu Ye knew that things weren't over yet, so he only stopped at the Insect Path for a moment before turning around and rushing back.
A group of Jade Conch cultivators looked at him as if he was their savior.
However, Lu Ye wasn't very happy. He only looked at Chou Wu and said, "Realm Lord Chou, I need to leave for a while."
Chou Wu was startled. "Where are you going?"
"To call for reinforcements!"
Jade Conch alone couldn't solve the Filth Tribe's problem. The Filth Tribe had no intention of closing the Insect Path at all. It was obvious that they harbored ill intentions toward Jade Conch.
The previous battle didn't hurt them at all!
In that case, he could only gather more and stronger forces and let the Filth Tribe know that Jade Conch wasn't a pushover.
Moreover, his talent tree's fuel needed to be replenished.
He could purify the Filth Domain once or twice. However, as long as the Filth Tribe's invasion didn't stop, he had to keep purifying. Therefore, his talent tree's fuel needed to be sufficient.
He could ask Jade Conch to help him collect fire-type treasures. They should have a lot of them here.
The problem of the talent tree's fuel was easy to solve. However, with his current strength, it wasn't enough to make the Filth Tribe afraid or hurt them. Lu Ye thought about it. To solve this problem, he had to borrow the power of the Soul Tribe.
If he could invite Ri Ri of the Soul Tribe, the Filth Tribe should be able to retreat.
The only thing he was worried about was whether the Filth Tribe would make any big moves during his absence. However, if he wanted to completely solve the Filth Tribe's problem, he had to take this risk.
"Reinforcements …" Chou Wu was puzzled. "Where are you going to get reinforcements?"
In this galaxy, Jade Conch was the strongest. He had heard of the Chaos Explosion Zone and Thousand Mound Tomb. There was also Ri Ri there. However, it was too far to go there.
"I have my own plans!" Lu Ye didn't explain too much. "I'm going to bring Ma Shangsi with me, so I can only rely on you guys. No matter what, we can't let the Filth Tribe stabilize the Worm Path!"
The reason why he wanted to bring Ma Shangsi was because he was faster and could save time.
Chou Wu looked worried. "How long will it take?"
Lu Ye calculated silently. "A month should be enough!"
"A month …" Chou Wu was stunned. Where could Lu Ye go to get reinforcements in a month?
However, since Lu Ye didn't say, he couldn't ask. His expression turned serious. "This is related to Jade Conch's survival. Junior Brother, don't worry. Even if Jade Conch has to fight to the last person, we won't let the Filth Tribe stabilize the Worm Path!"
