Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

"what's the situation?"

"There's a monster."

Those responsible for collecting elemental stones trembled with terror when they saw the monstrous, energy-devouring worm, their bodies swaying precariously like candles in the wind. This enormous monster, with a single tentacle tens of meters long, emerged like a giant, winding python from the depths of a dark cave. As the massive tentacle stretched out, the entire mountain was instantly torn apart, shattering into several huge fragments that tumbled down with a deafening roar. Countless mine shafts hidden within the mountain were also completely buried in that instant.

At this critical moment, Wu Feilong, who was already on guard, retreated rapidly without hesitation. At the same time, the Golden Core experts standing on the watchtower, seeing this, immediately unleashed their respective supernatural abilities, launching a fierce attack on the Devouring Worm. However, unexpectedly, this terrifying beast had no eyes, instead relying on the keen sensory abilities of its tentacles to detect the surrounding fluctuations of Yuan Qi. As a result, the ordinary miners, who were unarmed and unequipped, were relatively safer due to their weaker Yuan Qi.

However, despite their formidable strength, these Golden Core cultivators were still somewhat overwhelmed by the Devouring Worm's incredibly powerful tentacles. The thick tentacles swept across like a violent hurricane, and in the blink of an eye, several Golden Core cultivators were sent flying like kites with broken strings. They crashed heavily into the magic array surrounding the mine, producing a series of dull thuds. Worse still, the violent impact shattered the Golden Cores within these cultivators, leaving them severely injured, lying on the ground barely clinging to life.

In an instant, the entire Longshan Mine descended into chaos. Some continued their frenzied attacks on the Devouring Worms, desperately trying to repel them; others, having completely lost the will to resist, scattered like headless flies, hoping only to save their own lives. Amidst this chaos, Wu Feilong, taking advantage of the turmoil, quietly made his way to the vicinity of the warehouse where the Yuan Stones were stored. To his surprise, he wasn't the only one with the same idea; Wang Wei had also arrived there at some point. In the instant their eyes met, they understood each other perfectly, exchanged a sly smile, and then tacitly began to collect the precious Yuan Stones.

The pile of stones, worth over 100,000 yuan, was radiating a rich spiritual energy, yet it had all fallen into the hands of the two men. Seeing the situation was dire, Wang Wei inwardly cried out in alarm and turned to flee.

In the blink of an eye, a cold glint flashed in Wu Feilong's eyes, and with a sudden flick of his right hand, a dazzling Starfire Finger shot out. The flame, like an incomparably sharp laser beam, carried intense heat and terrifying power, hurtling straight toward Wang Wei.

In the blink of an eye, the flames struck Wang Wei. A scream rang out as Wang Wei's chest was pierced through, blood splattering everywhere. Not only that, even his golden core was not spared, shattering completely under the blow.

Wang Wei turned around in pain, his face full of terror. He stared at Wu Feilong with wide eyes, his lips trembling as he tried to say something: "You..." But before he could finish speaking, Wu Feilong had already kicked him hard.

The kick was extremely powerful, and Wang Wei was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and dying instantly.

Wu Feilong quickly stepped forward and collected Wang Wei's storage bag, then flashed outside. At this moment, a group of powerful cultivators were fiercely battling a gigantic, ferocious-looking Devouring Worm.

The Devouring Worm writhed with countless thick, powerful tentacles, each attack accompanied by a howling wind. One of its tentacles slammed into the ground, causing the entire magic array to shake violently, revealing shocking cracks that made it appear as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Immediately afterward, the Devouring Worm launched another attack, slamming another tentacle hard against the magic array. With a crisp "crack," the already crumbling magic array finally succumbed to the powerful force, collapsing and dissipating into specks of spiritual light in the air.

While everyone was engaged in battle with the Devouring Worm, Wu Feilong cautiously crept towards the spot where the Devouring Worm had been. When he arrived at his destination, the sight before him made him gasp – it was piled high with crystal-clear, high-quality spirit stones!

Wu Feilong suppressed his inner joy and carefully and slowly put the spirit stones into his storage bag one by one. Just as he was about to finish collecting all the spirit stones, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.

Looking up, he saw that the powerful figures seemed to have noticed the commotion. Knowing he couldn't delay any longer, Wu Feilong immediately used his Thunder Light Step, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing into the vast night, leaving the perilous Dragon Mountain Mine.

No sooner had he left than several figures sped towards him like shooting stars. Upon closer inspection, they were several Nascent Soul level experts! Among them, an old man with white hair and a youthful face was particularly eye-catching. He held a gleaming sword, its blade flashing with a chilling light.

In the blink of an eye, the old man swung his sword, unleashing a fierce and unparalleled sword aura that instantly severed one of the Devouring Worm's thick tentacles. However, unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a brand new tentacle rapidly grew from the severed tentacle, its speed as fast as lightning streaking across the night sky.

Immediately afterward, the newly sprouted tentacles swept out with overwhelming force, engaging the Nascent Soul stage experts in a breathtaking battle. Sword light clashed, and powerful energy surged, making the scene exceptionally intense. Those Golden Core stage cultivators, whose strength was slightly inferior, suffered greatly, many perishing under the terrifying attacks of the Devouring Worm.

After a fierce battle, the Nascent Soul experts finally reached a consensus and decided to join forces to cast a formation to deal with this troublesome monster. As they chanted incantations in unison, mysterious runes flew from their hands, weaving together in the air to form a massive formation. Ultimately, this powerful formation successfully sealed the Devouring Worm temporarily in place.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, shocking news arrived—the hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones that had been stored here had vanished without a trace! This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present, especially Zhou Shen and the others, who were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, searching everywhere for clues but to no avail.
