Standing at the entrance of the tunnel, Lu Ye summoned the Dragon Emperor. Amidst a series of explosions, a tall figure appeared with the Dragon Emperor draped over his body.
The obscure feeling of spiritual energy circulating in his body disappeared in an instant, and he was able to circulate it freely again. His suppressed cultivation was also restored.
Lu Ye was relieved!
The reason why he insisted on exploring the fissure was not on a whim, but because he had a certain level of confidence, and this confidence came from the Dragon Emperor.
The reason why something invisible like the Metamagnetic Field could interfere with the flow of spiritual energy in a cultivator's body was because the field invaded the cultivator's body, forming an invisible obstacle.
If the spiritual energy in a cultivator's body was compared to a flowing river, then the obstacles formed by the Metamagnetic Field were like dams. It was because of these dams that the flow of spiritual energy in a cultivator's body was affected.
It was actually very simple to solve this problem. All he had to do was block the erosion of the Metamagnetic Field.
However, it was easier said than done. Cultivators usually did not have such a method.
The Dragon Emperor could! This full-body armor wrapped Lu Ye tightly, completely blocking the erosion of the Metamagnetic Field. Naturally, it would not affect him at all.
However, Lu Ye could not maintain the Dragon Emperor's armor forever. This thing consumed too much of his body, so he only summoned it now to test it out.
After confirming that his idea was feasible, Lu Ye hurriedly put away the Dragon Emperor. This was his guarantee to enter the tunnel, and he would not use it unless he had no other choice.
Moreover, the Dragon Emperor's aura was too fierce. When it was activated, spiritual energy fluctuated, and it was very attractive to the Insect Tribe. Wearing the Dragon Emperor in a place like the tunnel was like lighting a lamp in the dark. It would definitely attract the Insect Tribe nearby.
Take this moment for example. A large number of Insect Tribe members were already attracted. The sound of merciful movements came from the depths of the tunnel, and a complicated aura kept approaching.
Lu Ye blocked the exit of the tunnel and swung his sword to kill the enemies. The scene was very intense.
Half a day later, the number of attacking Insect Tribe members gradually decreased.
When Lu Ye had time, he tried to activate the power of the Talent Tree.
The Talent Tree was an extremely mysterious thing. In the past, he had repeatedly borrowed the power of the Talent Tree to resist the scorching energy, but he didn't know if it could resist the corrosion of the Magnetism Field.
With a thought, the surface of his body was immediately covered by short roots that could not be seen with the naked eye. The obscurity of his spiritual energy improved slightly, but it was not complete. From the looks of it, the power of the Talent Tree could resist the corrosion of the magnetic field to a certain extent, but it was not as perfect as wearing the Dragon Emperor.
This might have something to do with the Talent Tree's transformation. Up until now, the Talent Tree had only undergone one transformation, but Lu Ye could feel that this was not the limit of the Talent Tree. If there was enough energy, the Talent Tree would undergo another transformation at a certain time.
Perhaps after a few more conversions, the power of the Talent Tree would be able to completely isolate the corrosion of the Metamagnetic Field, but it was not possible for now.
Lu Ye wasn't too disappointed. He was already very satisfied with such a harvest.
Now that he had a way to save his life, it was time to get down to business.
Lu Ye stared at an insectoid.
This insectoid looked like a Sacred Beetle, but it was extremely large and its aura was not weak. Since entering the fissure until now, this was the most powerful insectoid he had encountered. It was only one step away from becoming a big insectoid.
Lu Ye didn't kill it not because he couldn't kill it, but because he had other uses for it.
The insectoids' attack method was relatively simple. Generally, they used their body's advantages. For example, this Sacred Beetle only knew how to wriggle its mouth to bite and use its sharp legs to stab.
Lu Ye dodged the attacks of other insectoids and turned around to ride on the back of this Sacred Beetle. He raised his hand and pressed it on the head, his Spiritual Energy surging.
An invisible force swept out in all directions. All the insectoids in the vicinity stiffened slightly. The insectoids that were not strong enough were directly knocked unconscious.
In an instant, the scene was clear.
However, Lu Ye could feel the resistance from the Sacred Beetle.
It was true that the insectoids had low intelligence, but every creature had Spiritual Energy at birth. Even a newborn baby had its own Spiritual Energy, not to mention this insectoid that was comparable to the Divine Sea Realm. Its Spiritual Energy wasn't weak, but it didn't know how to use it.
The resistance came from the Sacred Beetle's Spiritual Energy.

Insect Path
What Lu Ye needed to do now was to tear apart the Sacred Beetle's Spiritual Energy in the shortest time possible.
The impact of the Spiritual Energy was like a tidal wave, wave after wave. After three waves, Lu Ye finally felt the resistance from the Sacred Beetle dissipating.
This meant that the Sacred Beetle's Spiritual Energy had been destroyed.
Lu Ye immediately activated his Spiritual Energy.
A moment later, the Sacred Beetle gradually calmed down. The insectoids that had regained their senses also slowly calmed down. Driven by their instincts, they crawled out.
Only the Sacred Beetle changed its direction and retreated along the path it came from.
On the Sacred Beetle's back, Lu Ye activated the Concealment and Aura Concealment Spirit Runes to enhance his body. He hid under the Sacred Beetle's wings, not revealing any aura.
The Insect Path was dark. As long as he didn't reveal his aura and hid like this, he wouldn't be discovered by the other insectoids.
He didn't know if the Divine Sea Realm cultivators who explored the fissure in the past had thought of this method. However, if he wanted to use this method, he first needed to have the means to control the insectoids. This alone would be a problem for 99% of the people.
Even if some Beast Taming School cultivators could use special means to control the insectoids, they couldn't perfectly hide their body and aura for a long time.
Therefore, Lu Ye estimated that in the entire Nine Provinces, he was probably the only one who could use this method to explore the insectoid nest. Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a heavy burden on his shoulders.
All the insectoids were crawling out, but the Sacred Beetle's behavior was a little strange. Fortunately, it was an insectoid with low intelligence. Therefore, no insectoids cared even if it was strange.
If it was a human doing this, he would definitely be stopped and questioned.
The Insect Path didn't lead to the depths of the underground in a straight line. Instead, it turned and turned. The space inside the Insect Path was also different in size. The wide space could allow more than ten insectoids to pass together, while the narrow space could only allow one or two insectoids to pass through.
Lu Ye only maintained the minimum level of spreading his spiritual force to check the surroundings. His main goal was to explore the path. Otherwise, if he let the Sacred Beetle act freely, who knew where it would bring him?
There were many forks in the Insect Path, which were clearly opened by the insectoids. The insectoids were quite good at opening up passages underground. Almost all of them were born with this ability.
Nevertheless, because they followed the principle of exploring downward, although there were many forks, they wouldn't get lost.
Lu Ye vaguely felt that if he followed those forks all the way up, different forks should correspond to different locations of the fissure.
There was no light in the surroundings. In this dark environment, even the flow of time became very blurry. There was only the sound of insectoids crawling around and the strange sound of their mouths moving. The entire Insect Path was filled with the aura of various insectoids.
Lu Ye originally thought that this trip would be boring and wouldn't have any twists and turns. However, walking in the dark too often meant that he would eventually encounter a ghost.
When a dog insect passed by the Sacred Beetle, it suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the Sacred Beetle. Following that, a low roar came from its throat.
The insectoids in the surroundings seemed to have received some kind of order. They all stopped and gathered around the Sacred Beetle.
Lu Ye immediately understood that he had been exposed.
Without any hesitation, he directly jumped off the Sacred Beetle's back. Before he landed, he had already summoned the Dragon Emperor.
He didn't know how deep he was at this moment because the path was full of twists and turns. There was no way for him to calculate the depth, but the magnetic field at this location was very dense. It was so dense that he only had half of his strength left.
With this kind of strength, in this kind of environment, he could only summon the Dragon Emperor to fight.
The moment the Dragon Emperor appeared, his body swayed, and he directly rushed to the dog insect's side. The Dragon Spine Saber slashed down.
The dog insect clearly didn't expect such an unforeseen event to happen. By the time the saber landed, it was already too late for it to dodge. The sharp saber split the dog insect's body into two, and dark green insect blood splattered everywhere.
In any case, it was a big insect. If it was a head-on fight, Lu Ye would have to expend some effort. However, under the sudden attack, he took its life with a single strike.
In the darkness, two scarlet streams of light dragged out from his eye sockets. They drifted about, bringing about a wind of death.
In just five breaths of time, the flowing light dissipated, and the surroundings were filled with nothing but dust.

Insect Path
It was the corpse of an insectoid. Only the Sacred Beetle stood there in a daze.
Lu Ye hurriedly dispelled the Dragon Emperor and rushed to the dog insect's corpse. He circulated his spirit energy and wrapped up a large amount of insect blood, drenching himself in it.
In the end, he was still careless. He could use spirit runes to conceal his body and aura, but he couldn't hide his scent.
Just now, when the dog insect brushed past the Sacred Beetle, it had clearly sniffed it. This was also the reason why he was exposed. The dog insect had smelled the scent of a human.
The insect blood was sticky, and the feeling of smearing it on his body was very uncomfortable. However, at this time, he couldn't care too much.
When Lu Ye returned to the Sacred Beetle's back and hid under its wings, more insectoids gathered from the two ends of the Insect Path.
Clearly, they had sensed the spirit energy fluctuation just now and ran over to investigate.
However, they only saw a large number of their dead companions. Their low intelligence didn't allow them to understand what had happened.
After a while, the insectoids slowly dispersed.
The Sacred Beetle had already left the battlefield and continued to go deeper.
Lu Ye discovered something very interesting. After he bathed himself in the blood of the Hound Bug, the suppression of the Magnetism Field on his body seemed to have lessened.
Originally, he felt that his strength had been suppressed by about half. However, this suppression was clearly weakened to a certain extent.
This unintentional discovery made Lu Ye excited. 1
The insect's blood could actually block the corrosion of the magnetic field? Although it couldn't completely block it, the weakening effect was obvious.
