"Let's take care of the situation first. The last wave of demons is about to come out. Let's slow down the suction force of the immortal formation and buy time for the immortal generals below to kill those demons."
As Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, the sixth wave of demons rushed out from the black hole. There were more than two hundred demons in this wave, and two of them were equivalent to Pre-Saints.
All the demons had already entered the funnel-shaped immortal formation. Taiyi Zhenren and the rest were also controlling the suction force of the immortal formation, hoping to buy more time for the immortal generals below.
However, a loud sound suddenly came from below. At least thirty of the three hundred immortal generals who set up the formation were blown to smithereens, and the space of the formation was thus broken! Moreover, six more demons appeared due to the destruction of the immortal formation. Although one of them was already dead, the other five did not suffer much damage.
"Bastard!"
"Bastard!"
Angry curses were heard. Several Pre-Saints decisively gave up on maintaining the funnel-shaped immortal formation. Since the immortal formation below had already been destroyed, there was no need for the immortal formation above to exist.
A chaotic battle broke out. Immortal techniques and demon techniques were continuously exchanged in the air.
In the face of the immortal camp's attack, most of the demons outside the circle chose to fight head-on. However, a small number took the opportunity to escape.
The all-out battle started suddenly and ended quickly. There were many demons, but as long as their cultivation had not reached the level of Sage-to-be, they were basically cannon fodder under the attack of the nine Sage-to-be.
The Immortal Camp naturally chased after the demons that escaped. In the end, there were ten demons that managed to escape. Among them, there were three whose strength was equivalent to the Sage-to-be realm.
Although they had killed several demi-saint level demonic beasts, the good thing was that none of the demi-saints from the immortal camp had died. At most, they were only slightly more seriously injured. However, the number of immortal generals who participated in this battle had reached eighty!
Eighty immortal generals, all of them in the Daluo Jinxian realm. This loss was unprecedented for the immortal camp in the Meteoric Ice Snowfield.
A solemn atmosphere lingered in the immortal camp. Taiyi Zhenren had already reported what had happened to the Heavenly Court. As for Gu Zheng, his location still did not appear on the positioning jade talisman.
Gu Zheng and Illusory Sound Fairy did not know what was happening in the immortal camp. The reason why their location was not on the jade talisman was because of the unique environment they were in.
As Gu Zheng had already gained the control of the seventh sense, his senses were far sharper than an ordinary person's. When he was patrolling the perimeter of the Meteoric Ice Snowfield with Fantasy Sound Fairy, he discovered a huge wormhole hidden deep underground.
Among the demons that had escaped into the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice, there was one that looked like an insect. It was the number one wanted target of the immortal camp.
Gu Zheng and Fantasy Sound Fairy entered the wormhole to investigate. However, due to the unique environment of the wormhole, their positioning jade talismans failed.
After a thousand meters into the wormhole, mucus began to appear on the ground, and spider web-like worm silk began to appear on the walls! Fortunately, the wormhole was very large, allowing Gu Zheng and Fairy Huan Yin to fly through it.
"Junior Brother, what's wrong?" Seeing Gu Zheng frowning, Fairy Huan Yin asked.
"The things outside the circle are really strange. These worm silks don't look like anything special, but they can actually destroy my spiritual sense!"
In this maze-like wormhole with many forks, Gu Zheng had been using his spiritual sense to explore the way. But just now, the Divine Sense he used to explore the way was absorbed by the worm silk on the cave wall, and then disappeared without a trace.
"It can't be, right?"
Fairy Huan Yin said as she separated her spiritual sense. When it came into contact with the worm silks on the walls, the worm silks immediately melted like snowflakes under the sun.
"That place is still five miles away from us. The worm silks look exactly the same as the ones here. However, it is like one thing conquers another when it comes to spiritual sense." Gu Zheng shrugged.
"For there to be such abnormal worm silks, perhaps that place is close to the insect's location!"
Just as Fairy Huan Yin finished speaking, a sound came from the depths of the wormhole. It sounded like some kind of music, but due to the unique environment, the sound did not sound real.
"Crash …"
Fine rocks began to fall from the ceiling of the wormhole. This situation occurred on a large scale, as if the wormhole was about to collapse.
However, the wormhole was not really collapsing. Some insects that were originally in the cracks of the rocks crawled out.
"It seems that the strange worm silks are not only found in the depths of the wormhole. Perhaps they have been here since the beginning, but we just didn't notice them."
Gu Zheng frowned. Even with his sensing ability, he could not detect these insects in advance. The only explanation was that the worm silks that sealed the cracks of the rocks were at work.
Many insects crawled out from the cracks in the rocks. They were black like a swarm of insects. They weren't big, only about the length of a finger. Their bodies were black and shiny. They looked like millipedes, but they had snake-like heads.
Thousands of black insects shot towards Gu Zheng and Fairy Huan Yin. However, before they could get close enough, they were shattered by the immortal energy shield on the surface of their bodies.
Although the black insects were not a threat to Gu Zheng and Fairy Huan Yin, their expressions did not look good. The strength of these little black insects was enough to threaten an early stage Qi Transforming Stage cultivator, and the venom they spat out could even kill a mid stage Qi Transforming Stage cultivator! If thousands of these insects entered the Eldritch Wilderness, it would definitely be a disaster!
Gu Zheng frowned and a huge fire dragon appeared out of thin air. Wherever it passed, whether it was the black insects, worm silks, or the mucus on the ground, everything was burned to a crisp.
With another thought, Gu Zheng released Die Ling, Angry Man, and Meow Meow. They were in charge of cleaning up the bugs they had missed along the way.
Die Ling and the others obeyed and left. Gu Zheng's expression became serious. "The last thing I wanted was for the insects to have a strong reproductive ability. Now it seems that it is!"
"Let's go. Let's try not to let a single one escape!"
Fairy Huan Yin's expression was also very serious. During the first Chaos Tribulation in the Eldritch Wilderness, they had suffered a pest attack. Therefore, she understood the destructive power of these insects with a strong reproductive ability. It was also because of this that this insect had become an important target of the Immortal Camp.
As they continued deeper into the wormhole, Gu Zheng still used the fire dragon to clear the path, trying to burn everything that did not belong to the Eldritch Wilderness.
As Gu Zheng and Fairy Huan Yin went deeper, the fire dragon had already burned countless insects. There were as many as six different types of insects, and each type was stronger than the last.
The seventh type of insect appeared. This type of insect looked like a bean with a pair of bird wings. Although the sound wave attack they produced when they flapped their wings was not ear-piercing, it was enough to cause hallucinations for Return to Void Stage cultivators!
"You really can't let these things out. They're a disaster! How long has it been here? Just the number of insects burned to death by the fire dragon has already exceeded a million. If it is allowed to reproduce, who knows what will happen. "
Fairy Huan Yin paused and then said seriously, "Junior Brother, we don't know how big the wormhole is. We also don't know how many forks there are. It is too slow for the two of us to travel together. I think it is better for us to split up. I really don't want that insect to live a moment longer!"
"I don't want to either, but the insect's strength is not weak. I am more worried about Senior Sister!" Gu Zheng said.
Fairy Huan Yin glared at Gu Zheng. "Brat, although Senior Sister is not as strong as you, I am not that weak, right? Even if I can't deal with the insect alone, if I want to escape, it won't be easy for it to catch up with me! "
Gu Zheng wanted to talk about the incident at the ice lake. However, he was worried about Fairy Huan Yin's face. He could only frown and smile bitterly.
"Really!"
Fairy Huan Yin blushed. Although Gu Zheng did not say it explicitly, she remembered the incident at the ice lake from Gu Zheng's frown.
"We have the Positioning Jade Talisman. If Senior Sister finds any insects, Senior Sister can use it to send you a message!" Fairy Huan Yin said.
"Senior Sister, our Positioning Jade Talisman is no longer working!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. After entering the wormhole, he had checked the Positioning Jade Talisman on him. At that time, he had already discovered that the Positioning Jade Talisman had lost its function. However, Gu Zheng did not take this matter to heart. Therefore, he did not mention it to Fairy Huan Yin.
"As expected!"
Looking at the Positioning Jade Talisman that had lost its function, Fairy Huan Yin did not take it too seriously.
"It is not necessary to use the Positioning Jade Talisman. In any case, you just have to trust Senior Sister! Let's split up and speed up the exploration process. There is no need to pay too much attention to the small fish that slipped through the net. You can tell your servants to search carefully again. "
Seeing Fairy Huan Yin's firm attitude, Gu Zheng did not say anything more. The two immediately split up at the fork in the road ahead.
Once again, they used the Fire Dragon to open the way. However, the efficiency of splitting up was still faster.
After a while, Gu Zheng, who was flying, frowned. He once again heard the music-like sound from before. This time, the music-like sound was much clearer. He could determine the direction of the sound and how far away it was from him.
However, the music-like sound was actually coming from two different places. Gu Zheng felt that if the original plan did not change, he and Fairy Huan Yin would arrive at the source of the sound one after the other.
In Gu Zheng's opinion, the thing that made the sound should be the insect. After all, the first wave of insects appeared when the sound was heard. This sound obviously had a commanding effect on the insects. However, there was only one insect and there were two sources of the sound. This made him a little worried about Fairy Huan Yin.
Wherever Illusory Sound Fairy passed by, there would be no worm silk. Gu Zheng, who was worried about her, immediately sent a portion of his spiritual will to chase after her.
Originally, Gu Zheng was worried that Fairy Huan Yin would blame him. However, when Fairy Huan Yin saw that he had sent his spiritual will over, her smile became even more beautiful.
"Junior Brother is still very concerned about Senior Sister!" Fairy Huan Yin said.
"Of course I am concerned. Who asked you to be my Senior Sister!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"There are two voices. The situation may change. I will be careful. Although Junior Brother's divine sense is strong, it should not be of much help."
Gu Zheng naturally understood what Fairy Huan Yin meant. The insect was able to produce insect silk that had a miraculous effect on divine sense. When faced with it, divine sense should not be of much use.
However, Gu Zheng did not hope that his divine sense could hurt the enemy. He only hoped that his divine sense could let him know the situation on Fairy Huan Yin's side. In any case, his divine sense was no longer linked to his body. Whatever his divine sense did would not affect his body.
After exterminating a few more waves of bean-like insects, there was a flickering light on the wall in front of him. This phenomenon was very eye-catching in the originally pitch-black wormhole. The source of the sound was from the fork in the path where the light was coming from.
"If you back out now, I can spare your life!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the fork in the path where the light was coming from.
Gu Zheng frowned. This voice was not transmitted through divine sense. It was actually spoken in the language of the Great Desolation Era.
"You can actually use the language of the Great Desolation Era. This means that you have the ability to search souls. This makes you even more deserving of death!"
Gu Zheng sneered and did not stop moving closer to the fork in the path.
According to common sense, insects were considered to have low intelligence. This was their biggest disadvantage. On the other hand, if they were intelligent, they would be nightmarish existences for most people.
"Keke!"
Strange laughter came from the fork in the path. It was not one, but a group.
In the next moment, a scene that made Gu Zheng's eyes widen appeared. A group of immortal cultivators rushed out of the cave. There were as many as 15 of them, and they all looked exactly the same.
"Their cultivation is equivalent to the peak of Daluo Jinxian. These guys are actually 'one person'!"
The weapon spirit's shocked voice sounded. In fact, Gu Zheng could see that these immortal cultivators were 'one person' without her saying anything.
The so-called 'one person', to put it bluntly, meant that their bodies were exactly the same in every aspect. This was different from people created by the Dao of Life. Even if Gu Zheng had mastered the Dao of Life, it would be extremely difficult to create so many people who looked exactly the same! This was an ability, an ability similar to cloning!
"Die!"
The 15 guys, whose strength was equivalent to the peak of Daluo Jinxian, attacked Gu Zheng at the same time. The violent energy of heaven and earth turned into a huge white tiger, roaring and pouncing on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did not dodge. He was carefully examining the physical condition of the enemies. Although their strength was equivalent to the peak of Daluo Jinxian, and they attacked at the same time! However, the gap between the peak of Daluo Jinxian and the late stage of Sage-to-be was more than a chasm! Gu Zheng did not care about such destructive power at all, as long as they did not attack with the help of some special things, and only combined their strength to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to perform the Shapeshifting Immortal Technique.
The huge white tiger crashed into Gu Zheng, as if it had plunged into a powerful black hole. The sneer on Gu Zheng's face deepened.
The sneer on Gu Zheng's face was not because he had absorbed the white tiger and turned it into his own energy, but because he was satisfied with the results of his examination of the enemies' bodies. These guys, who had been cloned by the special ability of the insects, were also restrained by the Dao of Death, just like the refined corpses!
"Die!"
Gu Zheng shouted. The eyes of the fifteen cultivators at the peak of the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm suddenly widened. Immediately, a death aura appeared above their heads. As if they had lost their skeletons, their bodies went soft and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's mind was blown. The feeling of wanting to enter the Mysterious Realm appeared at this time!
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng roared. This was the first time he had strangled the emergence of the Mysterious Realm in the bud. He was unwilling and angry!
Gu Zheng was 100% sure that the emergence of the Mysterious Realm at this time had something to do with the Dao of Death. After all, when he had examined the bodies of the Daluo Jinxian Immortal Cultivators, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Dao of Death.
If it had been any other time, Gu Zheng would have been as excited as a child celebrating the New Year if he could enter the Mysterious Realm related to the Dao of Death. However, the opportunity had appeared at this time. It was no longer an opportunity, but a fatal danger! After all, the insects in the fork were also making strange cries. He could already hear the sound of a huge creature moving. If he entered the Mysterious Realm and did not have anyone to protect him, he would definitely be reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Although he was furious, Gu Zheng was also very glad. Fortunately, he had already activated Elementary Control of the Seventh Sense. If it had been in the past, when the Mystical Realm descended upon him, he could only accept this path. He simply did not have the ability to nip it in the bud.
"Damn it!"
The Artifact Spirit roared furiously. She had also noticed that Gu Zheng was unable to enter the Mystical Realm due to his inability to do so.
"Kill that damn insect!" The Weapon Spirit gritted her teeth.
"I have to!"
Gu Zheng had a thought, and a huge fire dragon appeared under his feet. He rode on the dragon and charged toward the fork. He wanted to know what was going on over there.
Gu Zheng instantly arrived at the entrance of the fork. The moment he jumped off the fire dragon, it flew into the fork.
The ground in the fork was covered in a thicker layer of sticky liquid, and there were also more insect threads.
Gu Zheng discovered at a glance that this fork was actually a dead end. And in the middle of this dead end, there was a huge bug, its body dripping with mucus.
The insect looked very strange. It had a stomach as huge as an ant queen, and it was covered in bird feathers. Its body was like a centipede with many legs, but its head was like a beetle.
After the huge fire dragon crashed into the insect, it turned into a sea of fire that filled the entire fork. The insect let out an extremely sharp sound wave attack.
The Mind Calming Spell automatically activated and neutralized part of the sound wave attack, but Gu Zheng still could not help but feel dizzy.
The Five Elements Shield appeared on the surface of Gu Zheng's body, and the dizziness immediately disappeared. However, the insect that was covered in flames had already charged out of the fork and was very close to Gu Zheng!
Gu Zheng's body suddenly disappeared. He teleported behind the insect and used Mad Demon Frenzied Saber to slash at the insect's swollen abdomen.
The insect's abdomen was very swollen, but its reaction was very fast. It used its abdomen as a tail and swung it at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng disappeared again, and the insect let out a painful cry. Its abdomen did not hit Gu Zheng, but it hit Gu Zheng's Mad Demon Frenzied Saber, and the saber aura left a deep wound on it.
"Chi chi!"
Green poison spurted out from the small holes on the insect's body, and it looked like it was going to extinguish the flames on its body.
