145: Tier 3 Beast Nest

The Origin Dharma Body, like a moving gray mountain, enveloped Lin Yuan and easily tore through the low-level beast tide surging along the way.

Corpse Dogs, Earth-boring Demon Insects, Scythe Demons, and even those annoying Soul-Devouring Bats turned into dust instantly like moths to a flame when they approached the currents of Origin Law radiating from the Dharma Body, leaving only the continuously jumping merit points numbers on the wristband to silently record this crushing advance.

He deliberately avoided the battlefield areas opened up by other top Prodigies, speeding toward the depths of the ruins, toward that core area where energy fluctuations were more chaotic and covered in denser purple-black vines.

The sense of protection from the light screen base had long been left behind, replaced by an increasingly thick scent of decay, blood, and a kind of... indescribable "production" aura, as if countless lives had been forcibly blended and twisted together.

The air was as viscous as colloid, and every breath carried a pungent, sour, rotten smell and weak spiritual pollution.

The ground beneath his feet was no longer just charred and cracked; it was covered with a thick layer of dark purple, fleshy tissue resembling a rotting fungal mat, which emitted a disgusting "squelch" sound when stepped on and oozed viscous, dark green liquid.

Huge, long-mutated skeletons stood in his field of vision like grotesque tombstones, and some skeletons even had pulsating tumors and twisted plants growing on them.

Lin Yuan's expression was indifferent. His Primordial Dao Body circulated spontaneously, a layer of imperceptible purple Qi covering his body surface, isolating and purifying all the encroaching filthy energy and spiritual pollution.

The Innate Dao Body provided a continuous stream of vitality and resilience, maintaining his Peak state.

After venturing nearly a hundred miles deep, that "production" aura reached its Peak.

At the same time, dense and violent roars came from ahead, far beyond what the scattered stragglers on the periphery could compare to.

Skirting around a collapsed ruin of a giant building completely wrapped in the fleshy fungal mat, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.

This place seemed to have once been an open square.

But now, in the center of the square, a huge "building" constructed of dark red flesh, pale bones, and energy crystals flickering with ghostly light rose from the ground!

It was over a hundred meters high, shaped like a deformed beehive, its surface covered with countless holes of various sizes, with viscous, foul-smelling dark yellow slime constantly dripping from the edges of the holes.

Surrounding it were seven or eight slightly smaller but structurally similar "sub-nests."

Exotic Beast Nest!

Lin Yuan's gaze narrowed.

The cold 【Nest Quantity: Unknown】 on the intelligence light screen finally had a concrete target.

This main nest was like a living, pulsating giant heart; every "pulsation" was accompanied by a harsh, sharp noise that sounded like metal grinding or an infant crying.

With every "pulsation," the holes on its surface would suddenly expand and contract, like breathing, spewing out a large number of "eggs" wrapped in slime!

After these "eggs" landed, the slime quickly hardened and shattered, and what crawled out were swarms of Earth-boring Demon Insects, Scythe Demons, and even a few larger, rhinoceros-like giant beasts covered in heavy black bone armor and exuding a fierce aura—Tier 4 Elite Exotic Beasts, Giant Armored Beasts, with combat power reaching 500,000!

The newborn Exotic Beasts let out excited roars and immediately joined the teams patrolling and guarding the nest, or rushed toward the "food piles" composed of mountains of unknown biological skeletons and energy crystals around the nest.

This main nest was clearly a Tier 3 nest, possessing the ability to produce a large number of Tier 2 to Tier 3 Exotic Beasts, and had mutated Tier 4 Giant Armored Beasts as core guards.

The surrounding sub-nests were Tier 2 nests, mainly producing Tier 1 Corpse Dogs and a small number of Tier 2 Earth-boring Demon Insects.

In the entire nest cluster area, the number of Exotic Beasts far exceeded those on the periphery!

There were tens of thousands of various Exotic Beasts patrolling, feeding, or just being born!

They were like the most loyal guards, surrounding that core that was constantly "producing."

"Found it." There was not a trace of fear in Lin Yuan's eyes, only cold calculation.

Glory points were right before his eyes.

His appearance was like dropping cold water into a hot wok.

"Roar——!!!"

The nearest Giant Armored Beast was the first to discover him, its head, as large as a small house, lifted, and in its eye sockets covered by heavy bone armor, two points of scarlet light locked onto Lin Yuan.

It let out a deafening roar, its thick limbs trampling the earth, and it charged toward Lin Yuan like an out-of-control chariot, rumbling!

Its heavy footsteps made the ground covered in the fleshy fungal mat tremble violently.

At the same time, dozens of surrounding Scythe Demons and Earth-boring Demon Insects also seemed to receive an order, roaring as they pounced from all directions!

The flock of Soul-Devouring Bats in the sky also let out shrill cries, pressing down like a black cloud, with invisible spiritual shockwaves striking first, attempting to interfere with Lin Yuan's Divine Soul.

Facing this siege that would be enough to make an ordinary Myriad Laws Realm Peak frantic, Lin Yuan just moved his mind slightly.

"heaven swallowing pagoda!"

The phantom of the ancient little pagoda flashed and vanished above his head once more.

Hum!

A heavy, mountain-like invisible force field instantly expanded, precisely covering a radius of several thousand meters with him at the center!

This time, the binding force field was mainly targeting those high-speed charging Giant Armored Beasts, Scythe Demons, and diving Soul-Devouring Bats!

The effect was immediate!

The charging Giant Armored Beasts seemed to fall into an invisible quagmire; their huge bodies suddenly stagnated, their violent momentum forcibly curbed, their four hooves seemingly welded to the ground, only able to let out angry and unwilling roars, lifting with difficulty and falling extremely slowly.

The movements of those Scythe Demons turned into slow-motion shots, their waving bone blades leaving sluggish trajectories in the air.

The flock of Soul-Devouring Bats in the sky seemed to have crashed into a transparent glue wall; flapping their wings became extremely difficult, their diving momentum was forcibly interrupted, and their spiritual attacks became intermittent, greatly reduced in power.

Only a few Earth-boring Demon Insects temporarily avoided the core binding of the force field because they were further away or had burrowed underground.

"Clear the field."

Lin Yuan's indifferent voice sounded.

The Origin Dharma Body behind him rumbled into operation!

Light flowed, and the majestic power of the Origin Law condensed.

This time, it was not a giant palm, but the Dharma Body phantom suddenly taking a step forward!

Boom!

With just that one step, centered on the landing point of the Dharma Body, a visible, gray Chaos shockwave formed a ring and swept in all directions like a tsunami!

Wherever the shockwave passed, space groaned under the unbearable weight, and the bound Scythe Demons were torn into pieces instantly like fragile paper!

Those sluggish Soul-Devouring Bats didn't even have time to scream before they turned into fly ash under the scouring of the Chaos energy!
