Chapter 460: 460 Dangerous Spores?

460 Dangerous Spores?

Yuchi landed on the ground.

He wanted to investigate what the red fog was, but when he landed, he discovered that the fog was too dense. This was very different from how the situation had looked like in the sky.

Furthermore, the strange thing was that, even though the red fog was all around him, it seemed to be avoiding him. Whenever he moved his hand, it too would move away.

This situation was very strange.

Yuchi had already reached the demigod realm, and could thus see through many things quickly. Despite this, he was unable to figure out what was going on with this red fog.

“It doesn’t look like a fog formed from liquid vapor. Rather than that, it seems to consist of spores.”

This was Yuchi’s evaluation of the red fog, and he was right.

The spores were so minute that when they gathered together, it looked like a red fog had covered the ground.

Furthermore, it seemed that the spores possessed some level of sentience or consciousness, which was why they actively avoided living beings, and even his touch.

If they could even avoid being caught by demigods, then these spores were indeed rather terrifying. Sure, they might seem harmless right now, but if something changed, these spores that could avoid demigods would be able to devastate the world.

He and the other demigods would be able to escape the grasp of the spores, but what about the rest of the cultivators from the Dao heart realm and below?

Dao heart realm cultivators might be able to minimize the effects of the spores by using barriers created from their Dao aura, but everyone else would probably be wiped out.

This was too strange.

Yuchi looked around.

He could clearly sense the increased density of the Heavenly Dao around him due to the proximity of the fallen moon.

Had these spores been dormant, and then activated by the increased density of the Heavenly Dao? If so, then this matter might be more serious than he had imagined.

The war between the Knights of the Round Table and the moon god race might have unexpected consequences.

No matter what, these red spores were a potential source of great danger.

Thinking this, a tiny flame appeared in his palm. Following that, he locked down the space around him within a ten-meter radius.

Under such circumstances, he was able to control the spores with great difficulty. Rather than trying to capture them physically, he had used his Dao aura.

Then, the flame in Yuchi’s hand rapidly expanded, and the ten-meter area he had locked down was instantly filled with flames.

Then, the flames disappeared in an instant.

The spores turned black and fell to the ground.

Then, in just three short seconds, they returned to their bright red color and floated up again.

“They possess terrifying regeneration ability and, at the same time, they also possess fearsome defensive capabilities.”

“The only thing I cannot determine is their offensive capabilities.”

Yuchi now had a better understanding of the current situation. It was clear that the Knights of the Round Table had overlooked the possible consequences of their war with the moon god race.

According to the understanding of the Knights of the Round Table, they only needed to knock the moon god race’s planets down from the sky to return the Heavenly Dao to the ground.

This logic was simple and made sense.

However, they neglected to think about the possibilities of what an increase in the density of the Heavenly Dao would entail. They only saw the positives, but not the negatives.

Some of the myriad races existed without a civilization. Clearly, these spores fell into that category.

Spores were very simple, and were usually harmless. However, that would change if they were empowered by the Heavenly Dao.

“All of this is just speculation now, but it’s obvious that before we figure out what this spore is, those who have not reached the Dao heart realm should not enter the red fog. No one knows what these spores will do in the future, and the risk they pose is too great.”

As far as the current situation was concerned, this matter was indeed worthy of careful consideration.

“After I leave this place, I have to see if these spores have proliferated elsewhere in the areas with lower density of the Heavenly Dao.”

“If they are not present there, then the appearance of these spores is truly related to the increased density of the Heavenly Dao.”

While Yuchi was thinking about this, he sensed a group of people sneaking around and whispering.

With his keen ears, he could tell that they wanted to make a move on Yue Hanjiang and Bu Tingyue.

Then…

They launched an attack and the two girls, as flames hurtled into the sky.

Yue Hanjiang frowned, and blocked the flames with a single hand.

Then…

While the people on the ground were dumbfounded, she pressed them to the ground by condensing a giant hand. There was a plopping sound as they exploded like blood sacs.

The earth trembled violently at this moment. A huge handprint was pressed into the ground that spanned more than 30 kilometers.

“I’m definitely no match for Master, but as for you guys? Hmph!”

“Launching a sneak attack on us with your puny strength?”

Bu Tingyue’s face was filled with shock. She stared at the huge handprint on the ground, which was covered in a huge cloud of dust, and then at the harmless-looking Yue Hanjiang.

This was Yue Hanjiang’s power?

‘If she is this strong, then how strong is Senior Yuchi?’
