Lu Chenyuan formed seals with both hands, and formation patterns emerged from his body, spreading unceasingly in every direction.
Once they covered a certain range, surging mana poured into them. The formation activated instantly, forcibly drawing in the surrounding Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi and gathering it together in an endless stream, forming a massive yellow vortex.
Turbid qi churned within the vortex, and a faintly terrifying pressure seeped out.
A moment later, a gigantic eye appeared at the vortex's center.
It occupied more than half the field of vision in the void.
Its pupil was a murky grayish yellow, like soil that had rotted for ages.
The white of the eye was a dim earthen yellow, crisscrossed by cracks like land on the verge of shattering.
The scene before them was strangely familiar.
Xu Changqing came back to his senses and said gravely, "This is the Defiled-Earth God's eye."
A trace of greed flashed through the eyes of Bei Qingtang, controlled by the Lifeless Insect Mother. "That's right. Through this eye, we can approach the Defiled-Earth God's true body.

Xu Changqing hesitated, but could not hold back from asking, "I'm curious. You've clearly already mastered Profound River Water, so why do you still want to control the Defiled-Earth God?"
