Chapter 427: Xutian Ding, Yaochi Saint, Soul Devouring Black Beetle

Chapter 427: Xutian Ding, Yaochi Saint, Soul Devouring Black Beetle
Wu Liangba narrowed his eyes and sneered:
"Oh, the dual paths of ice and fire? Xutian Palace really knows how to play games. They're forcing us to choose one path!"

Junior Sister Kui and Senior Brother Yin looked at each other and secretly sent a message to Wu Liangba: "Second Senior Brother, which way should we go?"

Wu Liangba sneered: "Of course it's the Extreme Fire Channel! The skills we practice are originally biased towards fire, so we will have an advantage after entering!"

Just as everyone was hesitating, the two passages suddenly vibrated violently, as if urging everyone to make a choice as soon as possible!

at this time.

Master Mu stood up and said loudly:
"Everyone, these two passages are extremely dangerous. If you are not sure, I advise you to stop and stay where you are. When the time comes, you will be teleported out of Taixu Palace."

This statement came out.

Obviously, many people have already given up.

Yu Qingru said:

"My dear, we have gained a lot from this trip. How about we stop here?"

"Well, that's what I meant."

Fu Changsheng's words had just fallen.

boom!
The pseudo-elixir aura of Wu Liangba and the other two was no longer concealed, and it rushed towards Fu Changsheng like a tide. The faces of everyone present changed. They never expected that there were actually three golden elixirs hidden among them.

Three golden elixir pressures came towards him.

The Zifu present were afraid of being implicated, so they quickly dodged.

Fu Changsheng's expression also changed:
"Qingru, you guys step back"

The magic power is condensing on his body.

Just when the three pressures were about to fall on Fu Changsheng, Master Mu stomped his foot, and an aura that was much stronger than the pressure from Wu Liangba and the other two combined burst out.

boom!
Four pressures collided with each other.

Wu Liangba and the other two groaned and were forced to retreat repeatedly. Their faces changed slightly. At this moment, the difference between the fake elixir and the golden elixir was immediately clear. The three of them obviously did not expect that there was a real golden elixir hidden in the crowd.

Master Mu snorted coldly:
"How dare you, a mere fake Dan, bully my disciple!"

Disciple?

Wu Liangba was stunned for a moment.

When did Fu Changsheng accept a Jindan Zhenren as his master?

Wu Liangba also reacted very quickly. Since this person was a Jindan Zhenren, he must have come to take the last level of the Xutian Ding. If so, then their goals were the same on a certain level.

He quickly sent a message to Master Mu.

Master Mu's face flashed with surprise, and he turned to look at Fu Changsheng, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "My good disciple, you have subdued a quasi-fourth-level black-scaled python?"

coming.

Fu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

I'm afraid he will have to choose one of the next two channels.

Seeing Fu Changsheng's agreement.

Master Mu was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Very good, very good, you are worthy of being the one I chose. Disciple, don't be afraid. Just choose one of these two passages. I will definitely pave the way for you and won't let anything happen to you. Tell me, which passage do you want to take?"

Seeing that he didn't have to do it himself, Wu Liangba was happy to have some free time and crossed his hands across his chest.

In front of the golden elixir, if Fu Changsheng wanted to survive, he definitely dared not and could not refuse to enter the third level.

"Husband" Yu Qingru looked worried.

"It's okay." Fu Changsheng's mind raced.

Even if Master Mu didn't force him, he would most likely try to break through the third level, because he had not yet obtained the Donghua Yi Mu that could save Ningning. In addition, he had a mysterious key from Master Xiao, which might be the key to getting the treasure on the last level. Now that he was here and had a few more treasures that could compete with the golden elixir, he had to give it a try. At worst, he could just escape into the five elements space directly.

but.

All of this, of course, cannot be shown to the outside world.

Fu Changsheng looked embarrassed:
"Master Mu, if I have to choose one, it would be the Extreme Fire Passage. However, my strength is low, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pass through it safely."

This statement came out.

The faces of everyone present changed at the same time.

Fu Changsheng had openly bid for the teleportation order before, which was something that could only be obtained by killing a quasi-fourth-level vengeful spirit. However, he seized more than a dozen of them by himself. His strength was probably not much inferior to that of a pseudo-dan cultivator.

He is still weak.

Mu Zhenren laughed, turned to the two Jindan masters, a man and a woman in the northwest corner and said:

"Grandma Yunhua, Master Tie, my disciple has a quasi-fourth-level black-scaled black python, which is an excellent auxiliary spirit beast for pulling the Xutian Ding. Grandma Yunhua, I remember that your granddaughter, Saint Yaochi, had a piece of black vine spirit armor. Before entering the Xutian Palace, she handed it to you personally. Let my disciple wear it. It is just right to resist the flames of this extreme fire channel."

The voice just fell.

The whole house was in an uproar!

There are actually two Jindan Zhenren in this match? !

Even Wu Liangba and the other two were stunned. They thought they were the strongest in the team, but now they were directly ranked in the third tier. If this was the case, they might not be able to get the treasures in the Xutian Ding even if they tried their best.

The three of them looked extremely ugly at this moment.

Granny Yunhua and Master Tie also stood up at this time: "Old Man Mu, you are already old, and you are always just following others' advice. You can't change your temper."

Obviously.

Only after seeing the Black Scaled Python with his own eyes will he hand over the Black Vine Spirit Armor.

Master Mu smiled indifferently. If he had really learned a lesson, he would not have died without breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. He turned around and smiled kindly at Fu Changsheng:
"Good disciple, don't be afraid. Take out your black-scaled python and show it to Grandma Yunhua. With the black vine spiritual armor, you will be able to pass through the extreme fire channel smoothly."

"Yes"

Fu Changsheng is in a difficult situation.

Now he knew that he didn't have much say, so he slapped his spirit beast bag.

"hiss--"

First, a wisp of black mist seeped out from the mouth of the bag, and when it landed, it corroded a scorch mark of several feet in radius. Then, a python body as thick as a bowl slowly swam out, and each scale glowed with a cold metallic light. When the python head was fully revealed, the nearest few Purple Mansion monks stumbled back - wherever the pair of dark golden vertical pupils swept past, everyone's souls felt as if they were falling into an icy cave.

Wu Liangba and the other two saw this.

His face was very ugly.

Although most of them knew that the Black Scaled Mystical Python was on Fu Changsheng's body, they were still unhappy when they actually saw the python. After all, they were the ones who set their eyes on the Black Scaled Mystical Python first, but unexpectedly, Fu Changsheng snatched it away. How could they swallow this humiliation?

"It really is a quasi-fourth-level black-scaled python!"

Granny Yunhua strode forward quickly, leaning on her Panlong staff, a terrifying light flashing from her cloudy eyes.

"hiss--"

The black-scaled python felt the six golden elixir consciousnesses spying on it, and immediately stood up, coiling its body into a tower shape to protect Fu Changsheng in the center.

"Good! Good! Good!" Master Mu was even more satisfied. He praised three times and turned to Grandma Yunhua and said, "Grandma Yunhua, don't keep your Xuanteng Spirit Armor. You and Master Tie are going to take the Extreme Cold Passage anyway, so you won't need it!"

Granny Yunhua hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand. A green light flashed from her sleeve, and an ancient and mysterious rattan armor emerged out of thin air.

The vine armor was dark green in color, with countless fine spiritual patterns wrapped around its surface. It moved slightly like a living thing, emitting a strong wood-attributed spiritual energy. What was even more bizarre was that there were faint dragon-scale-like patterns on the surface of the vine armor, and each scale was gleaming with a faint spiritual light, as if the breath of a blue dragon was contained in it.

"Is it really the Black Vine Spirit Armor?!"

This is a treasure that only the Holy Maidens of Yao Chi in all generations can wear. Its level is already quasi-fifth level. If it is a little higher, it will be a spiritual treasure that only the Yuanying True Lord can use.

Wu Liangba's pupils shrank, and a hint of shock and greed flashed in his eyes.

This armor is a treasure of the wood type. It is said that it is made of the thousand-year-old Xuanling vine as the main material, supplemented by the essence and blood of the Azure Dragon. It not only has amazing defense, but can also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to repair damage on its own. It can be called a life-saving magic item!
Granny Yunhua handed the Black Vine Armor to Fu Changsheng and said:
“Use it properly.”

Obviously.

This Xuan Teng Spirit Armor is only borrowed for a while and must be returned. The things of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi naturally cannot be defiled by men.

"Thank you, senior."

Fu Changsheng didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. After bowing, he solemnly took the Xuan Teng Spirit Armor.

When the armor was in his hand, it automatically fitted his body shape like a living thing. As the green light flowed, it turned into a piece of inner armor that was as light as nothing, covering his entire body. In an instant, a cool and flexible spiritual power gushed out from the armor and blended with Fu Changsheng's magic power, as if an invisible barrier had been added.

"What a strong spirituality!" Fu Changsheng exclaimed inwardly.

Granny Yunhua turned around reluctantly and glanced at Master Mu: "Old Ghost Mu, you keep calling me a good disciple, but what's the matter? Do you want to be a master for free?"

Master Mu clapped his hands and laughed: "Great! Since Daoist Fellow Yunhua is so generous, how can I, as a master, fall behind?"

He shook his sleeves, and a stream of red light shot out. The object spun in the air, and it turned out to be a red jade talisman, with mysterious golden lines on the surface, and a faint dragon shadow wandering in it.

"This is... a dragon blood heart-protecting amulet?!" Master Tie's pupils suddenly shrank and he cried out in surprise.

Master Mu said proudly, "That's right! This talisman was made by me in Wanlongyuan with a drop of dragon blood that was about to transform into a dragon, supplemented by a thousand-year-old fire jade. My disciple, keep it well. It can block the full force attack of a peak Jindan cultivator at a critical moment!"

The jade talisman hovered in front of Fu Changsheng, and suddenly it made a soft sound, and turned into an inch-long red dragon shadow, which circled around Fu Changsheng three times and suddenly sank into his heart. Fu Changsheng felt his chest getting hot, and when he looked down, he saw a lifelike dragon pattern on his heart.

"This surprise came too quickly," Fu Changsheng was shocked. This kind of life-saving treasure would make even ordinary Jindan Zhenren jealous. At this moment, he sincerely said, "Thank you, Master!"

Master Mu waved his hand and said, "Since you call me Master, I will naturally protect you."

On the side, Chief Lei saw Fu Changsheng obtain treasures again and again, and his eyes turned red with envy: "Fu Changsheng's luck is too good to be true."

Granny Yunhua glanced at the passage and reminded:

"It's almost time, Fu Xiaoyou, you should get going."

talking.

Six Jindan stood behind Fu Changsheng in unison.

Fu Changsheng suddenly felt a huge pressure, and turned to Qingru and the other two and said, "Qingru, Yaoyao, Fourth Sister, it's dangerous in there, you guys should not step in anymore, stay here and wait to be teleported out."

Yu Qingru was pregnant and was afraid of any unexpected event.

Fu Changli also knew that his strength was limited, but Yaoyao shook his head: "Dad, I'll go with you. If you encounter a formation or barrier, I can also help you share some of your worries."

Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

At this time, Patriarch Cao, Cao Yuehua and Elder Cao Wu also followed. Like Patriarch Lei and Patriarch Wu, they believed that Fu Changsheng possessed many means, and following him might alleviate half of the pressure. However, Patriarch Ouyang considered it over and over again, and finally chose to give up.

Wu Liangba, who was standing behind him, snorted in his heart:

"A bunch of idiots!"

The light curtain in the Extreme Fire Passage is a random teleportation barrier. The moment you step into it, you will be teleported to different starting points. This level may seem like just a passage, but in fact it is a huge world of its own.

"Walk!"

Fu Changsheng no longer hesitated and took Yaoyao into the Extreme Fire Passage.

hum!
When passing through the barrier light curtain, clouds and mist surged.

Fu Changsheng only felt a flash of red light before his eyes, and the space around him distorted. When he opened his eyes again, he was already above a boiling sea of ​​magma.

"Random teleport?!"

His heart sank, and his consciousness instantly spread out, but he could not sense Yaoyao's breath. Obviously, the barrier in the Extreme Fire Channel dispersed everyone to different areas.

Under his feet was the rolling red lava, with bubbles bursting and spurting out hot magma, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur. In the distance, an obsidian altar was suspended in the center of the magma, and a fist-sized red crystal was suspended on the altar, emitting a heart-pounding fire power.

"Fire Spirit Source Crystal?!"

Fu Changsheng's pupils shrank slightly. This thing is the essence of the fire system of heaven and earth. If it can be refined, it can not only greatly enhance the power of the fire system, but also help the cultivator break through the bottleneck!
But such a treasure must be guarded by a dangerous creature——

"boom--"

The magma sea suddenly churned, and a wave of fire several dozen feet high shot up into the sky! In the wave of fire, a huge figure slowly emerged -

Fire Guard.

It was a giant beast formed by pure flames, shaped like a unicorn, but with three heads, and six red-gold vertical pupils fixed on Fu Changsheng. With every step it took, the magma surged like a living thing, forming walls of fire that blocked the retreat.

"Roar--"

The fire spirit guard roared towards the sky, and the hot sound waves made Fu Changqi's blood boil. If it weren't for the protection of the black vine spirit armor, his meridians would have been burned in an instant.

Fu Changsheng saw the Fire Spirit Guard rushing towards him, his eyes flashed with cold light, and a red-gold fire lotus suddenly rose from his palm - the Nine Yang Red Lotus Flame:
"burn!"

The fire lotus flew out of his hand and suddenly grew in size, transforming into a ten-foot-long fire curtain that swept away.

"Roar--"

The three heads of the Fire Spirit Guard opened their huge mouths at the same time, swallowing all the Nine Suns Red Lotus Flame into their stomachs like a whale sucking water! The fire patterns on its body instantly turned red gold, and its aura soared!
"This Devouring Strange Fire?!"

Fu Changsheng was shocked. This guard could even devour the Nine Suns Red Lotus Flame:

"We have encountered a strong enemy!"

A thought.

Three purple lightning bolts shot up into the sky.

As soon as the Thunder Sword was unsheathed, thunder roared in the passage!
As he made hand gestures.

The three swords were placed in the positions of heaven, earth and man, and the lightning at the sword tips intertwined, outlining a vast star-shaped sky-thunder sword formation in the void! The moment the formation was formed, countless lightning snakes burst out from the center of the formation, turning into a cage to cover the Fire Spirit Guard.

"boom--"

The moment when the Fire Spirit Guard was imprisoned by the Thunder Cage.

Suddenly stepped on the ground.

The entire magma sea suddenly boiled, countless fire pillars shot up into the sky, and crashed into the Starry Sky Thunder Sword Formation like a mad dragon.

Rumble!
Lightning and flames intertwined, causing a piercing roar and the sword formation shook violently.

"This guard's strength is no less than that of a golden elixir!"

Fu Changsheng's pupils shrank.

He no longer had the will to fight, so he decided to sacrifice the Green Dragon and escape.

however.

Before he could react.

The Fire Spirit Guard suddenly opened his left mouth and spewed out a ball of red-gold lava fireball. The fireball expanded rapidly in the air and turned into a ten-foot-tall rock in the blink of an eye. The surface was covered with hideous cracks and contained destructive fire spirit power!
"boom--!"

The fireball hit Fu Changsheng, and the hot magma splashed like a rainstorm!
Fu Changsheng had no way to avoid it.

A purple light flashed in his eyes, and he made hand gestures. A layer of purple air suddenly appeared around him, like smoke and fog, vague and uncertain. The lava fireball crashed into the purple air, and it was like a drop in the ocean. The fire was weakened layer by layer, and finally turned into sparks and dissipated!
"The purple divine light is indeed mysterious, it can even dissolve the power of the fire spirit!" Fu Changsheng was secretly delighted, but before he could catch his breath -

The right head of the Fire Spirit Guard raised his head and howled, and the flames behind him surged, condensing into thousands of red-gold fire feathers! Each fire feather was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the edge was as sharp as a knife, making a piercing scream in the air.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The fire feathers poured down like a rainstorm, covering the sky and shooting towards Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng snorted coldly, lightning flashed on his palm, and he slapped out suddenly!
"boom--!"

A red lightning shot up into the sky, exploding in midair, and transformed into countless fine Binghuo divine thunders, which collided violently with Huoyu! The lightning and fire intertwined, bursting out with a dazzling light.

The leader of the Fire Spirit Guards suddenly inhaled, like a whale swallowing the sea, and frantically devoured the remaining thunder power in the Starry Sky Thunder Sword Formation! The lightning was sucked into its belly, blending with the flames in its body, turning into violent thunder and fire power!

"Roar--"

The Fire Spirit Guard was surrounded by lightning and fire, and its aura surged again! Its originally red-gold body was now covered with purple-black lightning patterns, and its six vertical pupils were flashing with lightning. Its pressure was several times stronger than before, and it had actually reached the late stage of the Golden Core.

This was not something he could afford to offend.

With a sweep of his consciousness, he saw that the Soul Devouring Bug had silently entangled the Fire Spirit Source Crystal, and immediately he thought: "Collect it!"

The whole person, together with the soul-eating insect, entered the five elements space.

"call-"

Enter the five elements space.

Fu Changsheng then let out a long sigh and his mind fell on the magma sea outside.

When the Fire Spirit Guards saw the two-legged beast in front of them suddenly disappear, they were stunned for a moment, and then realized something. The three heads suddenly turned towards the obsidian altar at the same time - the Fire Spirit Source Crystal that had been floating in the air for a thousand years disappeared out of thin air!

"Roar--!!!"

The earth-shaking roar resounded through the magma sea, and the entire space was shaking! The three heads of the guards spewed out blazing pillars of fire at the same time, and the magma sea instantly boiled, and countless waves of fire rushed into the sky, as if the whole world was venting its anger!
It frantically used its spiritual sense to sweep the entire space.

At this moment——

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Three figures passed through the space barrier and stumbled into the sky above the magma sea! It was Wu Liangba, Junior Sister Kui and Senior Brother Yin!

"Damn, why is this damn place so hot?!" Wu Liangba had just steadied himself when suddenly all the hairs on his body stood on end!

When he raised his head, he was met with a pair of red-gold vertical pupils burning with raging anger!
"Not good!" Senior Brother Yin's hair stood on end.

The aura of this fire spirit guard had actually risen to the late Jindan stage. If the three siblings were not careful today, they would probably die.

Wu Liangba also felt a chill in his heart:
"Damn it, which bastard pissed off this Fire Spirit Guard?"

The words have not yet fallen.

The Fire Spirit Guard launched the attack first without waiting for them to react. The left head suddenly spewed out, and the magma sea rolled up and turned into a hundred-foot-long fire wave that smashed towards the three people!
Senior Brother Yin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pushed Senior Sister Kui away: "Get out of the way!"

“Senior Brother Yin!” As Junior Sister Kui exclaimed, Senior Brother Yin had already summoned a black iron shield, and runes on the shield were flashing wildly!

"boom--!"

The waves of fire fell, and the black iron shield instantly melted into molten iron! Brother Yin's half body was engulfed by the magma, and the protective aura was shattered like paper! He spit out a mouthful of blood, and his right arm was charred to the bone!
at the same time.

The Fire Spirit Guard's second attack followed closely, and the lightning patterns on his body broke away from his body and transformed into three purple-black chains that came towards Wu Liangba to strangle him!

"Damn it!"

In a hurry.

Wu Liangba gritted his teeth and crushed a life-saving jade talisman, then turned into a golden light and escaped a hundred feet away, but he was still hit on the back by a chain, causing his robe to explode and his skin to be torn!

"What's wrong with this beast?!"

Wu Liangba's face turned pale.

He originally wanted to retain his strength, but now he had to take action: "Xuan Yin evil spirit, rise!"

As the black robe fluttered, a long river of black evil spirit rushed out and collided with the flame-devouring lightning. The two forces were deadlocked for only three breaths, and the evil spirit was ignited by the lightning and fire. The backlash force shocked Wu Liangba so much that blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!

Senior Brother Yin coughed up blood foam and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Use... the Three Talents Demon-Slaying Formation!"

Wu Liangba's face changed: "But your injury——"

"If you don't use it again...you'll all die!" Senior Brother Yin suddenly tore open his shirt, revealing a chest covered with blood-red runes, "I'll be the center of the formation!"

Junior Sister Kui burst into tears, but she knew she had no choice.

The three of them formed seals instantly, and the blood talisman on Senior Brother Yin’s chest lit up with a dazzling red light, which forcibly connected the magic power of the three people!

"Blood Sacrifice: Three Talents Killing Demons!"

Wu Liangba's sword, Junior Sister Kui's silk, and Senior Brother Yin's remaining blood intertwined in the air to form a blood-red giant blade! Where the blade passed, the space was distorted, and the boiling of the magma was temporarily suppressed!

The Fire Spirit Guard sensed the threat, and the three heads simultaneously charged up their energy to spit out lightning and fire.

"cut!!!"

The blood-red giant blade split the thunder and fire, and slashed fiercely into the neck of the guard!
"laugh--"

The purple-black lightning and fire splattered like blood!
The guard screamed and struggled in pain, but the other two heads took the opportunity to bite the bloody blade, and lightning flashed between their fangs.

"Hold on"

Senior Brother Yin was bleeding from all seven orifices and his body began to disintegrate.

Junior Sister Kui screamed and poured all her magic power into the formation. Wu Liangba's eyes were red with anger, and he suddenly bit his tongue and sprayed it on the knife:
"Open it for me!"

"Boom——"

The blood blade exploded, and the three heads of the Fire Spirit Wei shattered at the same time. The huge body staggered backwards and finally fell into the magma, stirring up a thousand-foot-high fire wave.

The lava sea gradually subsided.

Senior Brother Yin fell to his knees, the blood symbol on his chest already turning gray.

Wu Liangba dragged the broken knife and watched his body gradually become transparent in silence.

“Take... take Xiaokui out..." Senior Brother Yin forced a smile with difficulty, and turned into flying ash and drifted away.

"Big Brother" Junior Sister Kui couldn't stop shedding tears, she never expected that as soon as they entered the Extreme Fire Channel, they encountered the maddened Fire Spirit Guard, and Big Brother died as a result.

Wu Liangba gritted his teeth, stood up, and grabbed her wrist: "Don't just stand there! This damn place may collapse at any time!"

Junior Sister Kui and Senior Brother Yin have a crush on each other, but neither of them has taken the initiative to speak up. Junior Sister Kui had planned to confess her feelings to Senior Brother Yin after the trip to the Kunlun Secret Realm.

Never thought about it.

How could she accept that they were separated by the Yin and Yang like this?

Wu Liangba's tone was rarely gentle: "Junior sister, I'm sorry, but now is not the time to be sad, we should go!"

Before he finished speaking, the altar under his feet suddenly shook violently!
"Rumble--"

Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the obsidian, and the magma surged again, even more violently than before.

"Oh no! The death of the Fire Spirit Guard has triggered a magma riot." Wu Liangba's face suddenly changed, and he pulled up Junior Sister Kui, "Let's go!"

As soon as the two men took off into the air, the altar behind them exploded with a loud bang, and a blazing wave of fire shot up into the sky, with countless pieces of rubble and magma splashing everywhere.

In the five elements space.

Fu Changsheng was quite satisfied with the result when he saw that one of Wu Liangba and his three men had died. In this way, he had one less enemy.

With this Fire Spirit Source Crystal in hand.

He was able to break through to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion. He resisted the urge to practice immediately. After the lava sea calmed down again and there was no one around, he moved his mind and came out of the Five Elements Space.

Fu Changsheng controlled the green dragon and broke through the rolling sea of ​​magma.

The burning breath dissipated.

A strange black desert came into view.

"This is."

Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense.

All I saw before me was endless black sand spreading to the horizon, without a trace of life, as if it were a cursed, dead land.

"There's something strange about this desert."

Fu Changsheng frowned.

Let the green dragon stop.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of sunlight,
A puppet beast in the foundation-building stage flashed out, and after a stream of mana was injected into it and the source stone inside was activated, the puppet beast turned into a black light, and stepped into the black sand step by step with a clattering sound.

"what?"

Walked several hundred feet.

Fu Changsheng's consciousness was almost unable to see the puppet beast, but still nothing happened:

"Am I overthinking it?"

The idea just came up.

But something strange happened suddenly in the desert!
“Rustle, rustle—”

The black sand suddenly moved like a living thing, and countless black beetles the size of fingernails emerged from the sand. These insects were as black as ink, with strange blood-colored patterns on their carapaces, and their mouthparts were as sharp as knives, making a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound when they bit:

"What the hell is this?"

Fu Changsheng's face changed and he quickly controlled the puppet beast.

“Click—click—”

The puppet beast's joints suddenly ejected sharp black iron blades, and its arms swung like a whirlwind, instantly chopping up dozens of black beetles that flew towards it. The chopped insect corpses splashed with smelly green body fluids, and when they fell on the sand, they corroded and produced wisps of green smoke.

however.

Under the ground, countless black beetles surged out like the sea, pounced on the puppet beast, and instantly covered the puppet beast's entire body.

In just three breaths, the Foundation Establishment Stage puppet beast was completely devoured, not even a piece of metal fragment was left! What was even more terrifying was that after devouring the puppet beast, the black insects turned towards Fu Changsheng, as if they had smelled the breath of a living person from a distance.

"It looks like a soul-eating black beetle?!"

Fu Changsheng took a breath of cold air.

This ancient vicious insect feeds on spiritual energy. Once a large-scale insect tide forms, even a peak Jindan cultivator will have to retreat. He did not hesitate to pinch his fingers to retract the green dragon, and his figure flashed into the five elements space.
