Chapter 476: The Core

ike translated!< There is also exploring underground environments and mapping underground spaces.>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"I'm going to check out the insect...At the Lingxi Battlefield, in Wan Du Lin, inside a wooden hut, Hua Ci idly counted the Wan Du Dan pills in her hand: "Eight, nine, ten..."

Her cultivation was unlike anyone else's. After obtaining that inheritance, she focused on consuming and refining toxins to improve her cultivation. The Poisonous Forest was undoubtedly a good place for her to cultivate because of the extremely dense poisonous mist here. However, after reaching the ninth level of Lingxi Realm, she couldn't temporarily ascend to Yunhe Realm, so she could only repeatedly lower her cultivation level and condense Wan Du Dan (Ten Thousand Poisons Pill). In this way, she accumulated more and more Wan Du Dan, and each pill was a condensation of her cultivation. When she ascended to Yunhe Realm in the future, she could absorb them back.

>

After Hua Ci condensed this Wan Du Dan, her cultivation level directly plummeted from the ninth layer of Lingxi to the eighth. The explosive burst of a whole layer's worth of cultivation made even Yunhe Realm cultivators unable to resist the poison's corrosion.

Thanks to everyone being at the Yunhe realm, if cultivators of the Lingxi realm were enveloped by such poisonous mist, I'm afraid they would be wiped out in an instant.

Of all the people present, only Lu Ye was unaffected by the poisonous mist.

Heavy and chaotic footsteps sounded behind him. His forward strides came to a halt. He turned, following the source of the sound as he dashed over.

Cornered by several Xuanwu Sect cultivators, who had been pursuing him relentlessly, the individual finally found an opportunity to fight back.

Before he had taken a few steps, two points of crimson light appeared in the thick fog ahead.

The Panshan Blade was engulfed in flames, its light flashing as it moved. The twin edges, imbued with the spirit of sharpness, merged with the user's own life force and the amber energy. This blade strike was more powerful and faster than usual, a ferocious blow aimed downwards.

A muffled groan pierced the air followed by a spurt of blood. Two crimson eyes watched as the head flew off, fading to darkness before it even hit the ground.

After being poisoned, the Xuanwu Sect cultivator could only act on instinct. Their strength had significantly decreased, and their reaction speed was much slower than before. Facing Lu Ye's backhand strike, they were completely unable to dodge.

With a single strike, Lu Ye had slain a powerful enemy. His momentum was unstoppable. He charged towards the remaining three, dodging their attacks with ease while his Pianshan Sword sliced through another enemy's head.

Another head flew out, the headless body staggering and falling to the ground.

Just as Lu Ye was about to kill the third person, a tremendous force slammed into his lower abdomen. He was sent flying backwards for dozens of feet.

>>>

Everyone was in a sorry state. Poisoning was one aspect, but before that, in their battle with the enemy, almost everyone had been wounded. Even the most powerful Elder and Xia Shanshan were no exception.

As time passed, the symptoms of poisoning among the crowd gradually worsened. Despite everyone swallowing the antidote pill, in this closed environment, the effect of Wan Du Dan was undoubtedly brought to the extreme. In other places, even if Lu Ye had unleashed the power of Wan Du Dan, it might not have been so powerful. At the very least, several Yunhe Nine-Layer Realm cultivators wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

By this time, the originally thick poison fog had gradually started to thin.

Xia Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Lu Ye. Because she discovered that Lu Ye showed no signs of poisoning.

When everyone gathered together, it was clear at a glance who had been poisoned and who hadn't. Those who were poisoned all had an emerald glow about them, extremely noticeable. Only Lu Ye stood out, his spirit bright and clear. Not only was he unharmed, but even the amber perched on his shoulder remained unaffected. This was because Lu Ye constantly channeled his spiritual energy to protect it.

What puzzled Xia Changan even more was this poisonous mist... who created it She had been thinking about this throughout the battle, at first when the poisonous mist erupted, she thought it was a tactic used by the Xuanwu Sect cultivators or the insect race. However, when even the Xuanwu Sect cultivators were affected by the mist, she realized that it wasn't an enemy's tactic, but rather their own people's.

Now seeing that Lu Ye showed no signs of poisoning, Xia Qianqian had a vague guess in her heart. Only someone who couldn't be poisoned could create such a poisonous mist!

This method is too vicious, it's a win-lose scenario for both sides. But fortunately, with this method, otherwise, if the situation had continued as before, our side would have been wiped out sooner or later. Now, although we are in a mess, we will not die immediately. As long as we can escape from here in time and slowly recover, we will be able to recover.

At this very moment, at the heart of the insect nest, Zhou Hai and Pang Dahai are teaming up to attack Niu Meng, the headmaster of the Xuanwu Sect. However, the situation is not optimistic. Both Pang Dahai and Zhou Hai are battered and bruised. Pang Dahai's arm has gone limp and hangs by his side, seemingly broken.

Zhou Hai's leg also twisted in an unnatural way.

On the other hand, Niu Meng, who was being attacked by both of them, had not a single scratch on his body. Although his expression was dull, the fierceness and cruelty in his eyes were undiminished. His attack style was simple and monotonous, but extremely ferocious. Any random punch or kick from him could put Zhou Hai and Pang Dahai under immense pressure.

While they are all at the ninth level of the Yunhe Realm, Niu Meng's strength surpasses Zhou Hai and Pang Dahai by a significant margin. Furthermore, he is currently under the control of a parasitic insect, which is highly unusual.

What made Lu Ye more concerned was that this powerful ox didn't have any injuries on its body. If he remembered correctly, when this bull first appeared, Zhou Hai had already injured it.

Lu Ye quickly understood why. Zhou Hai, with a flash of his flying sword, struck Niu Meng's arm, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone. However, the wound strangely started writhing and healed rapidly!

This scene made everyone's eyelids twitch. No one had ever seen such terrifying regenerative abilities. Such regeneration was completely unreasonable.

Every hive has its own core, and the simplest and most effective way for cultivators to destroy a hive is to destroy its core. Because the core of the hive gathers an immense amount of vitality, there are even things called vitality cores inside. If the core isn't destroyed, the hive will continue to produce insects endlessly. Only by destroying the core will the hive wither away and lose its ability to breed insects.

The core of a hornet's nest is usually found in the central meat sac.

Before this, everyone had intuitively felt the surging vitality within Niu Meng. It was not something a Yunhe realm cultivator could possess.

Xia Qianqian's words finally made everyone react. The reason why Niu Meng had such a surging vitality was because he was the core of the insect nest.

It's natural for them to have such exaggerated vitality, with their bodies healing instantly from injuries.

If the strong one is really the core of the Hive, then we're in big trouble.

Since everyone wants to leave this place, the only way is to kill Niu Meng first. Otherwise, in this closed insect nest, there is no way out for everyone.

How to kill an enemy who can instantly heal from injuries It's impossible unless you can decapitate him. Otherwise, you can only slowly drain his life force.

The only thing that was fortunate was that this powerful body was also covered in a greenish hue. He had been poisoned, and the power he displayed now was significantly weaker than what he initially gave off.here.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Lu Ye told the truth.Only then did Lü Xiao'e breathe a sigh of relief.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to transla...
