The greatest threat and the source had already been slain, so the remaining Spirit-Devouring Immortal Ants would be much easier to deal with. Once they were cleared out, this place could recover.
Moreover, these Spirit-Devouring Immortal Ants were individually at the Late-Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal level or below, and there would not be too many left. Clearing them out was only a matter of spending some time.
The great battle had also left Li Dalong feeling utterly exhausted.
Although he had taken Poison-Warding Pills and Antidote Pills, the toxins still affected him to some extent. Li Dalong left the remaining Spirit-Devouring Immortal Ants alone and returned to the surface.
On his way out, he activated all the defensive formations set up at the mine entrances to prevent the Spirit-Devouring Immortal Ants from escaping.
He set up a defensive formation just outside the mine and began purging the poison and restoring his Immortal Power.
Because he had taken Poison-Warding Pills and Antidote Pills in advance, he was not deeply poisoned. It was mainly his Immortal Power and Divine Sense that had been heavily depleted, and he recovered completely in a day.
Once ready, he entered the mine again to clear out the remaining Spirit-Devouring Immortal Ants. This time, knowing there were no longer any large concentrations of them, he had far fewer concerns as he moved.
