Chapter 1185 Miasma Corpse
Xuan Yue flew out of his hand and suddenly grew to ten feet in length in the air, with the tip of the sword emitting world-destroying power.
Luo Li pointed in the air, and the long sword cut through the miasma like a meteor, slashing towards the source of the densest blood vines.
In an instant, a bottomless crack appeared on the ground.
All the miasma corpses fell down instantly.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "It seems that this is the source of the blood vine."
She once again gathered the power of chaos, "Chaos Art: Destroy the Sky!"
The moment Luo Li finished speaking, the chaotic power in her palm rolled back and poured into the Xuan Yue Sword hanging in the air.
Billions of dark golden divine rays suddenly burst out from the sword body, and those divine rays intertwined into a world-destroying light net, and each light thread was entangled with runes that tore through space.
"Buzz—"
The Xuan Yue Sword trembled as if it could not bear the heavy burden. The chaotic energy condensed at the tip of the sword had been compressed to the extreme, turning into a dark golden light spot the size of a fist.
The air around the light spot cracked like glass, revealing the dark and twisted spatial turbulence behind it.
"cut!"
Luo Li pressed her fingertips into the air, and the Xuan Yue Sword shot towards the crack in the ground like an arrow.
The moment the light spot touched the edge of the crack, it suddenly exploded!
The silent explosion tore through the night sky of the Nether Abyss.
With the crack as the center, the ground within an area of thousands of feet seemed to be split open by a giant axe, raising black earth waves that covered the sky and the sun.
The blood vine roots screamed miserably in the chaotic light net. Those roots that had been entrenched underground for thousands of years were like spider webs burned by flames, turning into ashes bit by bit.
What gushed out from the depths of the crack was no longer blood vines, but foul-smelling dark green magma - that was the soul-eroding marrow at the core of the Nether Abyss.
Luo Li pointed her toes and flew backwards a thousand feet away.
She looked up and saw a giant insect covered with a blood-red shell lurking deep in the split earth.
The giant insect was a thousand feet long, with a scorpion-like head and countless twisted vines and roots on its tail. It was now poking its body out of the magma, its compound eyes flashing with resentful light.
"Human race, damn it!"
"It's the Netherworld Blood Mother!" Liuli's voice exploded within the Chaos Jade. "This thing has absorbed miasma for ten thousand years and has reached the Saint Lord level. Master, be careful!"
The Blood Mother swung her tail violently, and thousands of roots shot towards Luo Li like blood-red lightning.
The tip of each root was condensed with a dark green poison bead. Where the poison bead fell to the ground, the rock instantly melted into bubbling black slime.
The chaotic energy shield around Luo Li suddenly thickened, and at the same time, he flicked his finger, and several chains formed by the power of chaos broke through the air.
The moment the chain collided with the roots, a deafening roar erupted, and the poison beads on the roots were actually decomposed into wisps of green smoke by the world-destroying runes on the divine chain.
"Interesting." The Blood Mother's voice was as harsh as the friction of metal. "After so many years, I finally have prey that I can take seriously."
Its huge claws slammed into the ground, and the whole earth shook.
Countless blood-red spores gushed out from the ground and condensed into a blood cloud that covered the sky in mid-air.
In the blood cloud, the remains of the previously killed miasma corpses floated in the air, and sticky bloody liquid seeped out from the gaps between the bones, condensing into a more ferocious fighting form.
"Ali!" Lan Xiaoxiao's voice came from the direction of the valley, "We are also surrounded by miasma corpses!"
Luo Li's eyes turned cold. It seemed that the Blood Mother wanted to use the miasma corpse to restrain everyone.
She took a deep breath, and suddenly the shadow of an ancient bronze tripod appeared in her palm - it was the real body of the Sun-Devouring Tripod.
"Spirit of the weapon, do you want to stretch your muscles?" Luo Li's voice was filled with a hint of cold laughter.
The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit transformed into a man in red and rushed out, his body ablaze with crimson-gold flames. "I've been itching to do this for a while now! How dare this wretch occupy the Moon Swallowing Pot's lair?"
Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Sun Devouring Cauldron. The giant cauldron instantly erupted with a thousand-foot-long golden light, and its mouth opened, forming a small black hole vortex.
What surged out of the vortex was no longer the Burning Heaven Fire, but a more overbearing suction force.
“Suck it for me!”
The Sun-Devouring Cauldron hovered above the Blood Mother's head, and its infinite suction force transformed into a giant golden python, which fiercely grabbed the Blood Mother's shell.
The huge body of the Blood Mother was actually lifted up alive, and the roots of its tail pierced into the ground frantically, but it was still unable to resist this powerful force.
Luo Li seized the opportunity and unsheathed the Xuan Yue Sword again.
This time, she did not use the Chaos Technique, but poured all her soul power into the sword.
The sword body emitted a faint white light, and a slender white sword light condensed at the tip of the sword.
"go!"
The sword light shot towards the Blood Mother's eyebrows like a meteor.
The Blood Mother let out an earth-shaking roar, and her compound eyes suddenly spewed out dark green poisonous mist, trying to block the sword light.
However, the soul blade ignored his defense, penetrated the poisonous fog, and accurately pierced the gap in his forehead shell.
“Ugh—!”
The Blood Mother's roar came to an abrupt halt, her huge body stiffened for a moment, and then exploded.
The dark green soul-eroding marrow fell like a rainstorm, but was completely evaporated the moment it touched the chaotic energy shield around Luo Li.
Only an inner elixir shining with blood-red light fell to the ground.
"Found it!" The Sun-Devouring Cauldron's spirit voice was filled with excitement. "This inner elixir has the aura of the Moon-Swallowing Pot! The Blood Mother swallowed a piece of it! It seems the Moon-Swallowing Pot is indeed still here!"
Luo Li snapped her fingers, and the power of chaos wrapped around the inner elixir.
The inner elixir vibrated violently in her palm, and the blood-colored lines on the surface gradually lit up, faintly outlining the outline of half an ancient pot.
"A-Li!" Feng Wuhen's voice came from the distant valley, "The miasma corpses have retreated! How are you doing over there?"
Luo Li looked up and saw that the blood clouds in the sky were rapidly dissipating. The remaining miasma corpses lost the control of the Blood Mother and turned into white bones and collapsed to the ground.
She put the inner elixir into the Chaos Jade and turned to walk towards the valley.
In the valley, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Luo Li approaching.
The chaotic aura around her had not yet completely dissipated, and dark golden light danced between her hair. The Xuan Yue Sword was slung across her back, and the residual power in the scabbard was still slightly hot.
"Ali! Are you okay?" Lan Xiaoxiao was the first to rush forward, her eyes glancing at her blood-stained sleeves. "The explosion just now shook the mountain wall so much that rubble fell off. That monster..."
"It's solved." Luo Li said concisely, and with a flip of his palm, the blood-colored inner elixir floated out.
The ancient pot patterns on the surface of the inner elixir became clearer at this moment, and the outline of half of the pot body was faintly visible in the chaotic light, and a clear bell sound could be heard faintly coming out from inside.
Feng Wuhen's pupils shrank slightly, and his fingertips brushed the edge of the inner elixir: "This is... the Blood Mother's inner elixir? It actually has such a powerful fluctuation of power."
He suddenly paused and looked at Luo Li, "You mean the fragments of the Moon Swallowing Pot?"
"The spirit of the Sun-Devouring Cauldron said that the Blood Mother swallowed a piece of it."
Before Luo Li could finish her words, the Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit's voice exploded from the cauldron's body: "There's more than just one piece! This damned bug must have swallowed all the scraps that spilled out when the Moon Swallowing Pot shattered! If we can gather all the fragments and find the Moon Swallowing Pot's core, we can repair it!"
The shadowy figure of a man in red emerged from the mouth of the cauldron. A crimson-gold flame condensed into a stream of light in his palm, wrapping around the inner elixir. "Look at the pattern here. It's exactly like the Moon Swallowing Pot I remember! It shattered into this state when it accompanied its master in the battle against the demon god. His injuries were worse than mine, otherwise he wouldn't have let this little bug devour his fragments."
"Let's go inside and take a look," Luo Li narrowed her eyes. "The miasma has dissipated a lot now. We have to be careful of the monsters that may appear. The monsters here are not easy to deal with."
Everyone packed up their bags and headed towards the depths of the Netherworld Abyss, following the faint sensation of the fragments of the Moon-Swallowing Pot in their inner elixir.
Although the miasma had dissipated at this moment, wisps of dark green corrosive spirit marrow seeped out from the ground, condensing into highly poisonous crystal clusters in the cracks of the rocks, which emitted a "sizzling" corrosive sound when touched.
"Watch your step," Feng Wuhen waved his sleeve, shattering a rock in front of him that was oozing poison. "This corrosive marrow has penetrated the earth, and the deeper you go, the stronger the poison."
A green light condensed from his fingertips and penetrated into the ground. After a moment, he frowned and said, "There is an abnormal energy flowing in the earth veins. It seems... something is consuming this poisonous marrow."
Before he could finish his words, the rock wall ahead suddenly exploded! Several slime-covered tentacles suddenly extended out, each with a suction-cup-like mouthparts at the end, frantically sucking on the Erosion Spirit Crystal Clusters on the rock wall.
Luo Li's pupils shrank slightly - those tentacles were not the limbs of magical beasts, but were made up of countless tiny bone worms. Each bone worm glowed with a faint green phosphorescence, and they were the "bone-eating leeches" unique to the Nether Abyss.
"It's a tide of bone-eating leeches!" Lan Xiaoxiao swung out her long whip. "Everyone, be careful!"
The swarm of insects came like a black tide, and the air was filled with a sickening fishy-sweet smell.
Luo Li was about to activate the Black Moon Sword when she saw the Sun Devouring Cauldron suddenly tremble violently. The Sun Devouring Cauldron's spirit burst out in ecstasy: "It's the breath of the Moon Swallowing Pot! There's a fragment right under the insect swarm!"
Her eyes flashed, and with a flick of her finger, the power of chaos condensed into a giant palm that slapped the insect swarm.
As the palm wind passed, the bone worms exploded one after another, but more worms emerged from the ground and condensed into a wall covered with poison glands in mid-air, covering everyone's heads.
"Ari, let me hold them back!" Red energy rose from Feng Wuhen's body, transforming into a phantom of wind light and crashing into the bone net. However, the bone worms regenerated rapidly at the torn places by their claws.
Lan Xiaoxiao mobilized the water elements of heaven and earth, condensing a hundred-foot-high water wall on the ground, but it was gnawed by the insect tide and made a "crackling" sound.
Luo Li took a deep breath, and the blood-colored inner elixir in her palm suddenly became extremely hot. The shadow of half an ancient pot emerged from the elixir, and the clear sound of a bell turned into sound waves and spread out.
What was strange was that after the sound exploded, the surging tide of bone-eating leeches retreated as if they had encountered their natural enemies. Those bone worms that had sucked the marrow of the soul-eating spirit turned into ashes in the sound waves, revealing a piece of glass-colored fragment embedded in the rock wall below.
The fragments were engraved with moon runes, and there were dark red blood stains on the edges. They were exactly the fragments of the Moon-Swallowing Pot!
However, a giant claw covered with shells suddenly stretched out from the crevice below the fragments, and the claw blade was still stained with the undried mucus of the insect corpse.
"Another guardian beast?" Lan Xiaoxiao turned his whip into a bow and put an arrow on it to shoot, but he saw the giant claws suddenly pull, and the entire rock wall collapsed.
