“He is an Elder of Lianshan Holy Land?”
“Why has he joined Blood Sea Palace?”
“No, this person has a deathly aura, only poison and miasma, none of the normal human vibes.”
Lu Changsheng examined the Blood Sea Palace protector up and down using his Divine Sense, only to find no signs of life within the protector, which was extremely strange.
“He has only a shell left, and inside the shell is a Demonic Insect.”
Lu Changsheng, with his sharp insight, saw through the true nature of the Blood Sea Palace protector.
The Elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land were even more shocked: “Are you saying his viscera are completely devoured by the Demonic Insect?”
“Exactly.”
Lu Changsheng, perceiving the peculiarity, subtly raised his guard.
Lin Tianyi understood Lu Changsheng’s concern: “If this person is controlled by a Demonic Insect, could the controller behind him be the Demon Lord from the Demon Realm, or could it be the Bug King from the depths of Valley of Doom that has gained sentience?”
“Elder Lin, Holy Son, are you two trying to scare us?”
The Elders from Mount Taihua Sacred Land were hair-raisingly alarmed.
If what Lin Tianyi and Lu Changsheng said were true, that the Elder of Lianshan Holy Land was controlled by the Bug King from the depths of Valley of Doom, then their group’s situation was extremely perilous.
“As much as it is unpleasant to say, it is the truth. Elder Lin, let’s join forces and defeat him swiftly.”
Lu Changsheng, worried about complications arising from delays, decided to first take down the Lianshan Holy Land elder turned Demonic Insect puppet for safety’s sake.
“Yes.”
Lin Tianyi clenched his hand, and a fiery red longsword appeared in his grasp.
This was a ninth-grade Dao Artifact.
Lin Tianyi being a genius from the Lin Family possessing a Magical Treasure of Dao Artifact level was not unusual.
The poison fog of the Blood Sea Palace protector surged, and within the fog, countless Ancient Demon Worms fluttered.
These Demonic Insects, like towering clouds of black, darted at Lu Changsheng, Lin Tianyi, and the others in overwhelming swarms.
The buzzing sound as the wings of the Ancient Demon Worms beat against the air made one’s scalp tingle.
“Supreme Fire Nine Swords!”
Lin Tianyi swung the fiery red Immortal Sword, manifesting nine sword Qi blazing fiercely like celestial flames, crisscrossing over thousands of meters.
The swarm of insects that encountered the fiery red sword Qi was instantly reduced to ashes.
Yet the quantity of Demonic Insects was simply too many; even Lin Tianyi’s nine fiery sword Qi couldn’t eradicate all the insects in one go.
Yun Qianyue, observing the Divine Skills utilized by the protector of Blood Sea Palace, displayed a thoughtful expression in her profound eyes.
It resembled it too much.
During Ancient Times, when Yun Qianyue was a disciple in the Immortal Emperor Realm, she followed her master, the Heavenly Sect Leader, combating alongside lower realm sects to exterminate the Bug King of Valley of Doom.
The technique used by the Ancient Bug King then bore some similarities to the method employed by the Blood Sea Palace protector.
Lu Changsheng also struck with his sword; the sword Qi of “One Sword Across Ages” integrated with the Ziwei Celestial Flame, reputed to incinerate all worldly things—the fire of the Ziwei Ancient Star—once it touched the Demonic Insects, they instantly turned to ash.
However, the number of Demonic Insects seemed endless.
More Demonic Insects were converging from inside Valley of Doom.
“We must kill the Demonic Insect controlling the Lianshan Holy Land Elder; otherwise, its summoned insects will be endless, and our True Qi will also be depleted.”
Lin Tianyi, while Lu Changsheng restrained the opponent, used his Divine Skills to teleport behind the Blood Sea Palace protector, thrusting out with the fiery red Immortal Sword, tremendously forceful.
Suddenly, the poison fog inside the body of the Blood Sea Palace protector burst out, enveloping in a dark purple mist; Lin Tianyi inhaled just a trace of the poison fog, his complexion turning purplish immediately, and he swiftly moved away.
He immediately took out various Detoxification Pills, consuming them all to prevent the poison from taking his life.
“Such a terrifying ancient exotic poison…”
Lin Tianyi used more than a dozen kinds of Detoxification Pills to just barely neutralize this trace of toxin.
The Blood Sea Palace protector ominously said, “This is not a place for you to come.”
“Die.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t wait for further talk, immediately teleporting behind the Blood Sea Palace protector.
“My poison fog can hold off even a ninth-grade Divine King; you, a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor, are undoubtedly courting death.”
The protector of Blood Sea Palace repeated the same trick, blasting the dark purple poison fog like a shock wave, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Lin Tianyi exclaimed, “Get away quickly, otherwise you will get poisoned! This is the venom of Ancient Demonic Insects; if you are poisoned, even escape…”
Before Lin Tianyi could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng remained unfazed, using the Divine Sword Purple Lightning Clear Frost to pierce through the head of Blood Sea Palace protector.
The stench of green blood of the Ancient Demon Worms flowed down from behind Purple Lightning Clear Frost.
With the internal Demonic Insect killed, the corpse of the Blood Sea Palace Protector fell from the sky.
“Are you alright?”
Lin Tianyi circled around Lu Changsheng, looking him over in disbelief.
Lu Changsheng, having walked into the poison fog spewed by Ancient Demonic Insects, was astonishingly unharmed.
“What could be wrong?”
Lu Changsheng practiced “Eternal Indestructible Art”, a Body Tempering Skill not only renowned for its physically tough body but also immune to all poisons.
This Ancient Demon Worm, parasitic inside the body of Lianshan Holy Land Elder, posed little threat to Lu Changsheng, who had reached the fifth level of the “Eternal Indestructible Art”.
“What kind of physique do you have, that not even the venom from an Ancient Demon Worm fazes you, no wonder even the Emperor is no match for you.”
Lin Tianyi sweated profusely.
Lu Changsheng’s combat power surpassed his yet Lin Xuantong arranged for him to protect Lu Changsheng—so who was protecting whom?
“Let’s quickly deal with these people from the Demon Sects to prevent further complications.”
At the very moment Lu Changsheng killed the Ancient Demon Worm, a strange fluctuation emanated from the depths of Valley of Doom, causing Lu Changsheng’s heart to skip a beat.
His goal was merely to eradicate the Blood Sea Palace stronghold here; he was not ready to provoke the terrifying existence deep within the Valley of Doom.
