High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen quickly went through their words in his mind.

The heat projector burned out an isolation zone, the ice crystals sealed and froze the target, and he harvested the kill from the middle. This combination was extremely efficient.

He addressed Sora and Nova: "Thermal energy clears the way, ice crystals control the field, and I'll lead the attack."

Sora and Nova nodded to each other and turned to arrange their own troops.

He completely controlled the pace of the battle that followed.

Sora's solar prominence assault team burned more than a dozen intersecting thermal isolation zones on the fungal carpet, cutting the blood-corroding organism's neural network into dozens of unconnected small pieces.

Nova's Cold Wave Special Forces set up ice crystal traps between the isolation zones. The blood-corroding creatures were frozen into ice blocks as soon as they stepped in. Although they would break out of the ice after a few seconds, those few seconds were enough for Song Chen's blade to sweep over them.

Song Chen traversed back and forth between dozens of isolated areas, leaving afterimages as he moved through the void across the battlefield. The blade light of the Star-Splitting Slash exploded continuously in various areas, while the lightning dragon of the Star Core Thunder Prison hovered overhead, covering the entire battlefield.

Thousands of blood-corroding cells in one area were frozen by ice crystals. Song Chen flashed past and wiped them out with a single slash. Nova's team immediately set up new ice crystal traps.

In another area, the three-headed fusion was trapped by the thermal isolation zone and was trying to climb over it. Song Chen's Three Star-Splitting Slash shattered the three-headed fusion, and Sora's Plasma Blade Hand immediately went up to clean up the debris.

The more they fought, the better their teamwork became. The Moonshadow Clan's garrison was also reorganized, establishing a temporary defensive line behind the isolation zone and evacuating the surviving civilians to a safe area.

More than an hour later, most of the Blood Erosion troops surrounding the three Moonshadow Clan cities had been wiped out, and the cities were temporarily safe.

Just when Song Chen thought there would be no more surprises, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the Moonshadow Clan's communication channel.

"Oh no, the star core has been eroded. The creep of the Blood Erosion Civilization has infiltrated the Earth's core, and the core is being transformed into the Blood Erosion Mother Nest."

"Once the transformation is complete, the entire planet will become a mobile blood-corrosion biological factory."

Song Chen was shocked: "What?"

He immediately flew into the air and used his Eye of Truth to scan the interior of the planet.

Thousands of kilometers below the Earth's crust, he saw the core of a planet being enveloped by layers of dark red fungal carpet.

KG-11's core is an iron-nickel core with a diameter of 80 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it should be a silvery-white, high-temperature molten state, but now the core surface is covered with a thick layer of dark red organic tissue.

Those organizations are infiltrating into the core, and with each inch they penetrate, the core's silvery-white color dims a little.

The main nerve of the creep extends from the core, spreads upward along the cracks in the earth's crust, and connects to the creep network on the earth's surface.

This main nerve was thicker than any blood-eroded structure Song Chen had ever seen on the battlefield, with a diameter of several hundred meters. Like a giant blood vessel parasitizing the planet's body, it was continuously drawing energy from the star's core and transmitting it to the blood-eroded troops on the surface.

Once the planet's core is completely eroded, KG-11 will become a mobile Blood Erosion Mother Nest, capable of continuously producing new Blood Erosion creatures, which will then spread to other planets of the Moonshadow Civilization.

Song Chen spoke over the communication channel: "We must stop the core erosion. Can the thermal projector burn through the earth's crust?"

Sora quickly estimated and replied: "The plasma blades of the solar prominence cluster, when stacked to maximum power, can cut a tunnel deep into the earth's crust within five minutes."

"But the earth's crust is covered with fungal carpets. Going in would mean entering the most densely populated area of ​​blood-corroding creatures. If our people went in, they would be committing suicide."

"I know, so you guys burn it outside, and I'll go down alone."

Sora's voice rose an octave: "You're going down into the core alone?"

Nova's voice followed: "The density of blood-corroding organisms in the core area of ​​the creep is dozens of times that on the surface. No matter how tough your armor is, you won't last long if you're surrounded by hundreds of thousands of blood clumps."

Song Chen calmly replied to them: "Time is running out. Once the core is completely eroded, KG-11 will become a blood-corroded mother nest."

"Immediately activate the thermal projectors at full power to burn through the earth's crust and create a direct path to the core."

"Then your two teams will set up a blockade at the entrance of the passage. Any blood-corroding creatures that run out of there, regardless of size, will be frozen and burned to death. Not a single one can be put back on the surface."

Under Song Chen's insistence, the two obediently followed his orders.

The solar prominence assault team concentrated all eleven thermal projectors at a single point, and the focused plasma beam burned through the earth's crust.

The fungal carpet struggled frantically under the high temperature, the charred organic tissue emitting a pungent, fishy odor, and dark red spore gas spewed out from the cracks, condensing into a dark purple poisonous cloud in the sky above the plateau.

A vertical channel with a diameter of more than ten meters extends downwards under the continuous scorching of the heat beam.

The inner wall of the passage was burned by the high temperature into a smooth black glassy layer, but the glassy surface was quickly covered again by the tentacles of the fungal carpet, which was desperately repairing the burnt wounds.

Song Chen immediately jumped into the passage.

The descent lasted a long time.

The fungal tentacles on the inner wall of the passage kept reaching towards him, each tentacle as thick as an arm, its tip secreting corrosive digestive fluid.

He used the Star Core Thunder Prison to create a plasma shield around his body, and the moment his tentacles touched the shield, they were burned to ashes by the high-temperature plasma.

The deeper he went, the denser the fungal carpet became, and the more tentacles he encountered. Eventually, he simply released all 108 Thunder Dragons, letting them spiral and fly through the passage, burning the fungal carpet on both sides to charcoal.

The light from the Thunder Dragon illuminated the entire passage, appearing like 108 silvery-white magma streams surging within the dark red fungal carpet.

A few minutes later, he burst out from the bottom of the tunnel and landed in the core area of ​​the planet.

The core area is a huge underground cavity, with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers.

Suspended in the very center of the cavity is the core of KG-11, an iron-nickel star core tens of kilometers in diameter.

The surface of the star core should have been a silvery-white, high-temperature molten state, but now it is almost completely covered by a dark red fungal carpet.

The main nerve of the fungal carpet extends from the star nucleus and is continuously drawing energy from it.

The cavity was completely covered by a fungal carpet, which was densely covered with the incubation sacs of blood-corroding creatures. Each incubation sac was wriggling, and the larvae that were forming inside could be vaguely seen.

The number of blood-corroded creatures in the cavity was far greater than he had imagined; at least tens of thousands of them were suspended in the cavity, like a group of red jellyfish swimming in the deep sea.

They did not attack proactively, but instead slowly rotated around the star's core in a strange, synchronized rhythm.

With each rotation, the creep's erosion speed increases, seemingly using its own psionic resonance to accelerate the creep's transformation of the star core.
