Song Chen switched tactics and tried several times, unleashing Star-Splitting Slash from different angles three times. Every wound it carved open was repaired even faster, and the restored neural structures grew denser and denser.
He then used the Lightning Dragons of Starcore Thunder Prison to keep burning it. One hundred and eight Lightning Dragons coiled around the main nerve at once; when the plasma heat burned away one layer, the Fungal Mat immediately replenished two.
To his surprise, he actually could not kill it.
The Fungal Mat had far too abundant a source of nutrients, making it impossible for him to destroy it in one go.
Nearly half the entire planet's crust had already been covered by the Fungal Mat. It was devouring the spiritual-energy mineral veins within the crust, decomposing every organic substance on the surface, and absorbing the planet core's energy.
All nutrients ultimately converged in the main nerve, forming an almost infinite regenerative cycle.
Unless he destroyed the entire main nerve in one strike, the Fungal Mat would always repair it.
Yet to destroy a nerve more than several hundred meters in diameter in one blow required an attack he could not currently unleash.
Just then, the spiked Blood-Eclipse Clan warrior moved.
He had been observing from the very beginning of the battle.
Every one of Song Chen's attacks, every dodge, every switch between combat techniques had been recorded by that vertical eye.

The faintly pulsing silver-white glow within the Star Core was visibly devoured
