CHAPTER 182: CHAPTER 146: MY NAME IS WEI BANMENG, DREAMING OF DREAMS

Dark red lava patterns flickered violently beneath the skin, the formidable Bone Melting Qi Blood surged within like a volcano on the verge of eruption!

Clang!

Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash emitted an excited hum, the ebony blade no longer merely streaming starlight. The deep liquid Black Flame rose once more, intertwining with the resplendent starlight and dark red lava patterns!

Destruction, stars, lava—three forces seamlessly merged at this moment!

On the edge of the blade, blinding light spread, emitting a terrifying pressure that distorted the surrounding air, accompanied by faint crackling sounds!

The target pointed straight at the junction where the most intense pulse and deepest purple-black flesh conduit met the concrete below!

"Returning to Silence!"

Slice—!!!

No explosive roar.

Only a sharp, teeth-gnashing slicing sound, as if a scorching-hot dinner knife cut through frozen butter!

Where the blade passed, the thick and incredibly resilient dark purple flesh conduit was instantly torn apart.

A huge wound, with edges flowing dark red lava and inside pulsing with an eerie blue arc, over two meters in diameter, suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes!

The substance around the wound crystallized into an eerie shape.

Deep within the wound lay a slanting, forcefully torn-open tunnel, leading to unknown depths!

A rich and unbreakable aroma, mixed with sweet blood, decay, and powerful life energy, surged out from the wound like a volcano suppressed for millennia!

The low heartbeat sound suddenly became deafening!

"Boom!!! Boom!!!"

It was as if the entire underground was pulsing with it!

Fang Qingyu sheathed the blade, and the anomalies on Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash vanished instantly, but his gaze fixed unwaveringly on that deep hole.

The inside of the hole was not pitch black.

Faintly visible were pulsating, dark purple flesh walls, resembling organic tissues, with thick "blood vessels" or "nerve bundles" climbing over them, emitting a dark red glow.

Deeper within, some indescribable, huge, and twisted shadow seemed to writhe slowly, releasing an intimidating pressure that made souls tremble.

The sweet and bloody smell in the air was so intense it caused nausea.

Fang Qingyu did not turn around but left a somber command to the vigilant teammates behind him:

"Guard the entrance! Wait for our signal!"

Before the last word had finished, Fang Qingyu, one hand wielding the sword, of the other shielding Jiang Wei beside him, leaped into the deep tunnel leading to the core nest of the Abyssal Weaver!

Their figures were instantly engulfed by the pulsating dark purple flesh walls and dense darkness.

Only the edges of the hole kept flowing with dark red lava and jumping eerie blue arcs.

And the incessant "Boom! Boom!" heartbeat sound, echoing at the edge of the deserted insect nest square.

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei’s figures were completely swallowed by the pulsating dark purple flesh corridor.

Sticky, slippery air, carrying an intense sweet-blood and decaying scent, immediately enveloped them.

Underfoot was a thick layer of elastic, living tissue-like fungal mat, producing an unpleasant "squelch" when stepped upon.

The corridor resembled the twisted intestines of a giant beast, meandering downward.

On both sides, the flesh walls emitted a faint purple-red glow in the dim environment, covered densely with thick "energy blood vessels" and "nerve bundles" pulsing with dark red glow, like the veins of the abyssal lair, continuously transporting strong life energy down into the depths.

Each pulse accompanied by a deep heart-like "Boom! Boom!" bang.

The vibrations made eardrums tingle and chest cavities resonate.

"Be careful."

Fang Qingyu’s voice sounded in the corridor, low and alert.

Though Jiang Wei possessed the power of gods.

She was not yet stronger than him, and facing a peak Sinful Embryo Level Life Ghost, getting overturned was perfectly plausible.

Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash remained unsheathed, the blade tip angled downward.

Starlight contained, liquid Black Flame silently flowed over the blade’s surface like a living organism, while the Celestial Stars Field shrunk within several feet around him.

Ready at any moment to unleash its destructive power.

Jiang Wei stayed close to his side, her small face appeared calm under the faint purple-red glow.

The two moved quickly and cautiously along the twisted, descending "intestine."

The further down they went, the more spacious it became, transitioning from a single corridor to large chamber-like structures.

The pulsing energy vessels and nerve bundles grew increasingly thick and dense.

Like the roots of a giant tree, they crawled all over the space, the purple-red light casting the vast chamber like the insides of a demon.

"Boom!!!"

A heavier, closer heartbeat burst, as though exploding just ahead!

A powerful energy wave swept like a tangible shockwave.

Making Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei both stabilize their stance.

Just as the heartbeat aftershock hadn’t subsided, around the corner of a huge chamber ahead, blinding energy flashes and even more frenzied insect shrieks erupted!

Contained within the wailing were extreme pain and fury, accompanied by sharper, piercing screams!

Simultaneously, a sharp, cold Sword Intent bearing a destructive cutting will spread instantly!

Fang Qingyu’s gaze intensified, without hesitation, his figure turned into a fleeting shadow, leaping past the corner!

The scene before them caused their pupils to contract slightly.

This was a gigantic chamber wrapped in countless pulsing energy vessels, like a deformed biological heart.

In the center of the chamber, a fierce battle was unfolding!

A figure donned in matte black battle attire was besieged by three grotesque and terrifying Life Ghosts!
