Chapter 51 Underground War
Like a haphazardly reacting hawk, Lu Qingfeng's blood and qi instantly boiled, and he entered battle mode!
When that evil puppet was slain, the evil will behind it was exactly the same as the aura emanating from the statue in front of us.
However, it is even older than that.

There was no time for Lu Qingfeng to think in detail about its relationship with the will behind the Dining Hall.
Let's do it first and talk about it later!
"roar--"
The meaningless roars emanating from the statue's mouth seemed to be the prelude to its awakening, or perhaps the exhilarating feeling of finally waking up from a long slumber!
The rocks on the cave ceiling crumbled and fell, tiny pebbles mixed with bone dust. The white bone altar on the ground cracked open with a roar, and the dark purple Yin Sha core throbbed violently. It was actually drawn by the aura of the statue and transformed into twisted energy streams that flowed into its body.
From the previously blurred facial indentation, dark purple mist condensed into two murky orbs of light, like eyeballs without pupils, locking onto Lu Qingfeng, the intruder.
laugh!
With a strange sound, four gashes immediately appeared on the back of the statue, and four arms made entirely of shadow emerged, waving unconsciously.
The statue raised its two jade-like hands, the movement slow yet carrying an irresistible pressure.
Dark energy condensed in his palm, transforming into a bone sword wreathed in vengeful phantoms. The sword's blade was composed of countless tiny bone segments, and eerie, dark purple flames flowed along its edge.
Lu Qingfeng's muscles tensed instantly, his blood and spiritual energy surged wildly, and the [Blood Moon Seal - Release] was instantly maxed out to 100%!
Dark red keratin layer covered his entire body at a visible speed, his bones made cracking sounds as they were unable to bear the weight, every muscle was expanding and taut, and his strength, agility, and physique doubled in a short period of time.
He swung the Heavy Mountain Sword, and the Overlord Meteorite combined with the Moon Piercing technique. The crimson sword energy tore through the air, carrying a powerful armor-piercing effect and a shattering tearing effect, and slashed fiercely at the bone sword!
clang!
The sound of metal clashing was deafening, like thunder exploding inside the cave.
Lu Qingfeng felt his arms tremble violently, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, warm blood staining the sword hilt red. A terrifying, evil power surged into his body along the sword, frantically eroding his blood and meridians.
The steel body's internal defenses were as flimsy as paper; the bluish-black lines under the skin instantly dimmed, and the cold resistance brought by the Earthly Fiend Body was almost ineffective in the face of this evil power, with waves of burning pain coming from the meridians.
He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the cave wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood with dark purple streaks.
The blood that fell to the ground was instantly evaporated by the evil energy of the ground, turning into wisps of black mist that were absorbed into the statue's body.
"So powerful..." Lu Qingfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart filled with shock.
He struggled to his feet, feeling his internal energy and blood in disarray, his spiritual energy shield like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
The statue pressed closer, and with each step it took, a spiderweb-like crack appeared in the ground, and dark purple evil fire spread along the cracks, scorching the white bones in its path.
Each swing of the bone sword unleashed a sky full of black flames, igniting the white bones on the ground and transforming them into burning undead. They bared their fangs and claws, emitting mournful howls, and pounced on Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng used the Cloud Ladder Leap to weave through the undead and black flames, activating his Intercepting Stance to barely parry the successive attacks.
Each clash between Chongyue and the bone sword caused his arm to go numb, and the evil influence within his body became increasingly severe. Most importantly, his life force was constantly decreasing!
[You have been affected by the Calamity: You lose maximum health per second, and recovery effects are reduced by 90%]
"At this rate, we'll be worn down sooner or later! Yami!"
Although Lu Qingfeng was dealing with the situation in a disheveled manner, his mind had entered a strange state of calm, and he was quickly calculating the various gains and losses.
On the other hand, the statue did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
Four shadowy arms suddenly plunged into the ground, and the entire bone altar in the cave exploded!
Countless bone fragments floated up, enveloped in dark purple evil flames, transforming into an impenetrable storm of bone blades that slashed towards Lu Qingfeng!
Area of effect attacks?!
Holy crap! Who made this dung monster?
Lu Qingfeng's dodging became even more frantic, but the bone blades were incredibly dense. Despite his repeated dodges, several bone blades still landed on Lu Qingfeng's body.
We can't delay any longer!
His gaze swept quickly around, finally locking onto the still pulsating dark purple core of the earth vein.
Although the core energy is being absorbed by the statue, there is still a faint energy connection between the two.
Hey, I have an idea!
The inheritance of the Hidden View and the requirements of the mission flashed through Lu Qingfeng's mind. Killing this thing would seem to eliminate the need to purify the earth veins!
"Let's take a gamble!"
Lu Qingfeng suddenly abandoned his defense, and all his blood and spiritual energy were poured into his legs.
He transformed into a blur that almost merged into the air, hurtling straight toward the core of the earth's veins at a speed that was close to self-destruction!
The statue sensed the intention, and the bone sword slashed down from the sky, black flames transforming into a giant net that covered everything.
"So slow to react? Too late?"
Eat my meteorite!
boom!!!
The giant black flame net was forcibly torn open by Chong Yue, but the force of the recoil caused Lu Qingfeng's arm bones to crack under the strain.
He used the momentum to roll over and finally pounced on the core of the earth vein!
"All you ever do is eat! Go to hell and collect dust!!!"
Lu Qingfeng grinned maliciously, pressing his hand hard against the core surface while simultaneously operating the Flesh and Blood Furnace at full power!
He immediately channeled his vast blood and energy into the core of the Earthly Fiend, but this was not to aid the enemy, but rather... to detonate it!
The dark purple crystal trembled violently, countless cracks appeared on its surface, and its internal balance was completely broken.
The statue roared angrily, and four shadowy arms reached out frantically, trying to stop it.
But it was too late.
boom!
The exposed core of the earth vein exploded. Just as Lu Qingfeng had predicted, the so-called exposed earth evil core was a fake. It was just that the earth evil power was too dense and overflowed from the earth vein, forming a carrier in the outside world, which was stolen by the jade statue to provide energy.
If someone could truly condense the abstract concept of Earthly Fiends into a core, Lu Qingfeng would definitely be able to figure out where he would be buried after his death, and if it weren't for his current state, he could even steam him.
And what were the consequences of such a powerful earthly evil force exploding...?
The statue was hit hardest; its jade body was blasted and cracked, and its shadowy arms broke off inch by inch.
Lu Qingfeng was also thrown into the air and crashed heavily against the stone wall, his consciousness almost completely gone.
[The Beast of Calamity is in a state of forced weakness, duration: 3 minutes]
[Warning: Health is decreasing!]
[50%...40%...1%!]
[The pipe dream has been triggered!]
