Chapter 215: Wormhole

be his. He averted his gaze, choosing not to see out of sight, for looking at them would only cause him pain.But Lü Ye and Niàn Yuèxiān’s gazes did not linger on the numerous flying swords, but were f...After half an hour, the Bixiuzong headquarters, which had regained much of its vigor, suddenly became quiet. All registered disciples and casual cultivators rushed to Chonggu, ten miles away.

Although the outpost is unmanned, there's no need to worry about it being captured by cultivators from the Demon Valley. Xiao Hui is still here, and with her around, no cultivator from the Demon Valley would dare approach – they'd be courting death.

Moreover, with the locust plague and natural disasters currently sweeping across the Lingxi battlefield, it's unlikely that any sect would have the resources to cause trouble at this time.

Beyond ten miles, within the insect valley, battle has already broken out.

Compared to half an hour ago, the number of insect tribes in Chonggu has increased again. The reason why the Insect Tide is called a natural disaster is mainly because of the fast reproduction and growth speed of the insect tribes. As long as there is enough energy, they can transform into a devastating army of insects in a very short time.

Therefore, wanting to defeat the tide of insects, the early stage is key. As long as we can curb the number of insect races and not give them the opportunity to develop, it's possible.

Seven hundred cultivators, forming a hundred squads, were led by their respective squad leaders and dispersed throughout the four directions of Chonggu. They slaughtered the insect race, pushing step by step towards the wormhole.

These creatures that were crawled out aren't very powerful. Compared to cultivators, most of them are only equivalent to the Lingxi stage, one or two levels. A few are equivalent to the three levels, and their size isn't big either. Unlike the insect races Lu Ye encountered in the Mirage Realm, many of them were about his size.

The zerg here are small, only the size of a fist at their smallest and about the size of a basin at their largest. Plus, their attack style is single-minded, so they're not that hard to kill.

The only difficulty is that there are too many, tens of thousands of insects crawling all over the valley. They have eaten through several layers of soil.

Meanwhile, while other squads cleared the zerg from the outside in, Lu Ye went it alone. With his blade, he carved a straight path through the zerg hordes, leaving a trail of corpses in his wake.

Against such a large number of enemies, whose bodies are not big enough, the Invincible Mountain Blade in my hand cannot exert much effect. Even if I can kill one with every swing, the number I can eliminate is still limited.

Lu Ye's methods of killing enemies weren't limited to the Panshan Sword. He could barely be considered a fake cultivator.

The Fire Phoenix Art and Fire Dragon Art alternated in use, scorching energy engulfing the area. Each time, a large swathe of insects was obliterated. Especially the Fire Dragon Art, as an accompanying technique within the Crimson Lotus Soaring to Heaven Technique, only achievable by cultivators at the seventh level of cultivation. Its power and range dwarfed the Fire Phoenix Art by several times. Of course, greater power came with greater consumption.

Comparing the two spells, Lu Ye was much more satisfied with the Fire Dragon Technique. After all, this spell finally didn't cause any trouble.

The (Fire Phoenix Art) somehow became a fire quail under his hands, with a very peculiar shape.

>>>The Fire Dragon Technique, however, was exceptionally visually appealing. When cast, it looked as though a real fire dragon was dancing in the air, and even the scales on its body were faintly visible.

The valley wasn't actually that big. Lu Ye reached the wormhole in no time, peering down into its depths. It was pitch black, bottomless. On the walls of the wormhole, creatures of different shapes kept crawling upwards. Sensing Lu Ye's presence, a few jumped towards him. A flash of his blade, and those creatures were cut in half before they could reach him.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lu Ye jumped down. In mid-air, insects swarmed him from all directions. He surged his spiritual energy, sending all the approaching insects flying away.

Boom…

>>>

A point of light shone from the hilt of the blade, illuminating everything around it.

To conserve his spiritual energy, Lu Ye didn't dare to unleash the power of Ri Zhuo too aggressively. He only allowed its light to radiate within a ten-zhang radius.

After an incense stick's worth of time, Lu Ye's figure surged from the pit, a pair of fiery red wings behind him catching the eye.

He leaped over the insect valley and landed beside the Hua Ci, his body covered in emerald blood.

Several cultivators who were only at the first level immediately stepped forward, taking water and washing his body.

Hua Ci didn't participate in the battle. As the only healer stationed here, she needed to treat the injured disciples. However, the time was short and the battle wasn't long, so basically no one was injured.

There were also a dozen or so people gathered on her side. Ten of them had cultivation levels too low, only at the first level of realm. With such cultivation, they would easily die if they went to war, so they stayed with Hua Ci here as assistants.

Several others are interested in pursuing a career in medicine and are studying medical arts at Huaci.

This is quite good, a sect needs different factions to develop, especially the medical cultivation faction. Though the current Bixue Sect's overall strength is relatively low, it's like a sparrow—small but complete with all its organs. The sect has various factions.

"Found it" Hua Ci stepped forward, picking a piece of what appeared to be a bug tribe limb off Lu Ye's head and tossing it aside.

>>

"There were too many side paths inside, I didn't dare go too deep."

He ventured alone into the wormhole, hoping to find the nest.

These zerg are not without roots or origins. In the depths of every wormhole, there is a nest. The nest is the root from which these zerg are born.

To solve the infestation, you must find the nest. Only by destroying the nest at its source can you eliminate the infestation.

This information was obtained from Li Baxian.

The insect nest is located deep underground and is protected by a powerful swarm of insects. It would be difficult for Lu Ye alone to succeed. Therefore, every time an insect tide descends, major sects make all-out efforts. Although they do not mobilize as many forces as the Bixue Sect, they also send out a large number of people to determine the location of the insect nest and then make plans.

Looking back at the Bloodsect, this is the first time in decades that they have enough manpower to deal with the bug tide. No one knows the terrain underground, everything has to start from scratch.

Therefore, the most urgent thing to do is to quickly clean up the insects in the grain, but investigate the situation underground.

The formation of the swarm is a mystery, because after each swarm appears, it is completely wiped out, but after a while, the swarm will return.

>

The countless insects, even the insect tide, seemed to appear out of thin air.

So, whenever it's around that time and Lingxi Battlefield starts to have thunder and rain, all the major sects will start to become wary.

This is also why Li Baxian was the first to contact Lu Ye.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Soon, the first injured cultivator arrived. Although the insects in the worm grain were not very powerful individually, there were too many of them. It was inevitable that some would get hurt during battle.

Hua Ci carefully treated them, and while she was treating them, she also explained medical principles to the disciples who wanted to learn the way of medicine.

Lü Yè didn't make another move. Although he had easily killed those insect creatures before, he hadn't gained much merit. With his current strength, it was estimated that he would need to kill twenty or thirty more insect creatures to gain some recognition.

Unlike those low-level cultivators, who gain merit by killing every insect, the number is not large. However, the accumulation over time brings considerable benefits.

The disciples of the Bi Xue Zong currently lack suitable channels to earn merit. The insect tide presents an opportunity for them.

Anyway, with the current foundation of Bixue Sect, it wouldn't be difficult to clean up the Insect Clan within Chonggu. Lu Ye didn't want to get involved in this matter.

After entering the wormhole, it's where Lu Ye needs to exert his strength.

The continued, with wounded people constantly arriving and being treated by Hua Ci before rejoining the fight.

>>>Several hours later, the encirclement by Bixiuzong cultivators had shrunk by half. Progress was rapid because the Bixiuzong forces were closing in from the outside, so the further they advanced, the smoother their progress became.

Another two hours passed, and all the insects in the insect valley were slaughtered. The disciples cheered with joy.

Everywhere, the fields are littered with the corpses of insects. Emerald-green blood flows in rivers.

"Clean the battlefield, each team rests and recovers. In three hours, follow me into the wormhole."

With a shout, Lu Ye gave the order and his disciples immediately sprang into action. Several teams guarded the entrance to the wormhole, slaying the insectoids that crawled out of it, while the rest went to collect the corpses.

You can sell insect corpses to the Tianji Treasure House.

For cultivators in the Kyushu Cultivation World, the Heavenly Secrets Treasure Repository is undoubtedly a great place. No matter what you want, as long as you have enough merit, you can buy it from inside. You can also sell anything to the Heavenly Secrets Treasure Repository, of course, the value is hard to assess.

For example, the disciples currently collect insect corpses. Perhaps they might sell a dozen or so before earning a little credit, but at least it's some credit, better than nothing.

Three hours passed in a flash, and 700 cultivators gathered at the entrance of the cave, each one brimming with fighting spirit.

Lu Ye walked up from behind, pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword. Amber followed at his side, while Yiyi rode on top of Amber. The crowd parted to make way for them.

He walked to the mouth of the cave, took a leap, and Amber, without hesitation, jumped down with Yiyi. Then Chen Yu, a cultivator at the seventh level, followed, and after him were several squads led by cultivators at the sixth level.

Below came the sounds of fierce fighting, accompanied by the shrieks of dying insects.

After a short moment, Chen Yu's voice came from below: "Okay!"

A queue of people patiently waited at the entrance to the cave, and then descended in an orderly fashion. Small groups converged at the bottom of the cave, and under the leadership of their respective captains, they ventured forward, torches being lit one by one...lan need to recover quickly, which requires a large amount of blood food.Therefore, it is foreseeable that as large-scale battles erupt on battlefields everywhere, blood clans will inevitably go to th...
