The soldiers of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty’s Imperial Guard cried out in alarm, fearing for the safety of the Eleventh Prince.
“Hmph, I am a scion of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, a child of the Eternal Dragon Emperor, what can you vile beasts do to me?”
From within the yellow mist, came the robust and powerful voice of the Eleventh Prince, full of vitality.
“Sky-Splitting Eight Styles!”
Amidst the golden yellow mist, the Eleventh Prince employed a unique martial technique of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, engaging in a fight to the death with a Great Demon inside.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard could only form a Great Formation outside, ensuring their own safety in the midst of the vast oceanic army of Demonic Insects; they dared not step half a foot into the golden yellow mist, for it was the innate poison mist of the Peerless Demon Worm, and below the Divine King Realm, touching the golden yellow mist spelled doom for their lives.
They could see the golden yellow mist covering over a hundred miles, with centipede-like sinuous bodies moving within; and on the bodies of the Demon Race, there were eyes growing, creating a chilling sight.
“His Highness, the Eleventh Prince, is the ninth-ranked Divine King born in our Eternal Immortal Dynasty in the past tens of millions of years, with immense combat power; and protected by a ninth-ranked Dao Artifact Treasure Armor, this beast should be unable to harm His Highness.”
“We will use the Formation to contain the surrounding Demonic Insects, to prevent His Highness, the Eleventh Prince, from being besieged.”
The Imperial Guard of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty continued to work together in operating the Great Formation, attracting the surrounding Demonic Insects to attack them, enabling the Eleventh Prince of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty to fight the Great Demon within the yellow mist alone.
The Eternal Immortal Dynasty is an ancient force on the same level as Holy Lands and ancient Cultivator Clans; and the Eternal Dragon Emperor is a Great Expert of everlasting life. Within only ten million years, the Eleventh Prince of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty became a ninth-ranked Divine King; and although he couldn’t be compared to geniuses like Emperor Ku and Yuexi, who became ninth-ranked Divine Kings within a million years, and who belonged to Heavenly Court’s talent, he was still a rare genius in the Lower Realm, also possessing a body-protecting magical treasure of ninth-ranked Dao Artifact level, which should be able to kill the Great Demon within the golden yellow mist.
“Damn it!”
Before long, an angry roar from the Eleventh Prince came from within the golden yellow mist, seemingly unable to kill the Great Demon inside and instead, getting attacked.
“Ah!!!”
The Eleventh Prince let out a scream of agony, and then there was silence.
“This…”
The Imperial Guard of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty looked at each other in dismay, the ninth-ranked Divine King Realm Eleventh Prince seemed to have lost all vitality.
What level of Great Demon was inside that golden yellow mist?
“We’ve underestimated the Demonic Insects of the Valley of Doom!”
The hearts of the powerful Cultivators making up the Imperial Guard were filled with trepidation.
Gradually, the golden yellow mist dissipated, revealing a golden centipede that was ten thousand zhang long, floating in the sky, casting a shadow as vast as if it were larger than the Great Formation formed by the Imperial Guard of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty.
Even more terrifying was that this golden centipede had a thousand pairs of demonic eyes, densely packed, causing one to shudder at the sight.
“The Eleventh Prince has been… has been eaten by it!”
The soldiers of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty’s Imperial Guard, witnessing the centipede slowly swallowing the Eleventh Prince who had already perished, seemingly flaunted its power to these Human Race Cultivators.
“This is a Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede; such demon creatures possess indestructible bodies. Its poison mist can not only erode the flesh but also disturb the mind, it’s extremely terrifying. The Heavenly Sect encountered the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede when exterminating the Valley of Doom, resulting in several Divine Kings meeting horrific ends.”
Yun Qianyue has seen more than one Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede in Ancient Times.
The Elders of various major forces felt uneasy.
The Demonic Creatures slumbering in the Valley of Doom far exceeded their imagination.
It’s no wonder that in Ancient Times, the number one Sword Dao Sect of the Lower Realm had to call upon a large number of Sects from the Lower Realm to start the extermination of the Valley of Doom.
Apart from the Devouring Demon Worm, the Valley of Doom harbored many powerful Ancient Demon Worms, comparable to Divine Kings, each with its own domain of power.
Under the command of the Devouring Demon Worm, these Bug Kings led an endless horde of Demonic Insects, sweeping across the land.
The three Sword Maidens, Li Tiangang, and the Old Sword Saint, and other mighty figures had all entered the deepest parts of the Valley of Doom to exterminate the Devouring Demon Worm, turning this Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede into a troublesome existence.
Not just the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede; gradually, Ancient Bug Kings appeared, launching attacks on the Human Race Cultivators of various major forces.
Some strange Demonic Insects had attacked an Elder from the Jade Pool Holy Land, entering the Elder’s body, consuming their Sea of Consciousness, and manipulating the shell of the Elder.
The Mother of Jade Pool showed no mercy, directly eliminating the Elder who had become a puppet.
A stitch in time saves nine.
The Mother of Jade Pool, who had been in charge of the Jade Pool Holy Land for many years, acted decisively.
“The demonic insects from the Valley of Doom are simply too numerous!”
“We’re going to be exhausted to death at this rate.”
“Hopefully, the Ancestors can swiftly exterminate the Devouring Demon Worm.”
Tens of thousands of Cultivators are desperately maintaining the Great Formation, continuing to grind down the endless swarms of Ancient Demon Worms, trying to buy time.
The Great Formation formed by fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals shone with golden light, grinding up a billion demonic insects.
It seems that sensing the tremendous threat from the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, this formation made up of fifty thousand troops was subject to the frenzied onslaught of countless Ancient Demon Worms.
These Ancient Demon Worms only followed the commands of the Devouring Demon Worm, showing no fear of the identities of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, with successive Heavenly Soldiers and Generals being forcibly breached and devoured by the demonic insects that made it into the formation.
Several thousand of the fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals perished!
Even their Treasure Armor got corroded by the poison of the demonic insects.
Within these fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the highest in cultivation, Li Tiangang, together with the three great Sword Maidens, ventured into the nest of the Devouring Demon Worm to slay it; otherwise, if Li Tiangang himself had personally managed the formation, the losses of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would certainly not have been so severe.
“Finally killed the Ghost-faced Spider.”
Lu Changsheng, with the help of the Hook Chen Great Formation, suppressed the Ghost-faced Spider. Under the oppressive might of the Great Formation, the spider finally met its complete demise.
After killing the Ghost-faced Spider, Lu Changsheng, along with other Elders and Disciples of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, immediately consumed Elixir Pills to swiftly restore their True Qi.
Running the Hook Chen Great Formation to kill the Ghost-faced Spider exhausted a great deal of their True Qi.
“The situation doesn’t look very good.”
Lu Changsheng noticed that Lin Xuantong, Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, Everlasting Immortal, Li Heng, and other Divine King Realm experts were all facing formidable enemies. The formations of the human Cultivators were under attack from Ancient Demon Worms. Several formations had already been breached.
The eleventh prince of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty was killed by the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede, and then the Demon Centipede broke through the formation composed of Cultivators from the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, going on a killing spree, and continuously devouring the human Cultivators, with hundreds entering the stomach of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede in an instant.
The body of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede was full of lethal poison. Even a ninth-grade Divine King, upon being swallowed by it, would dissolve into a pool of blood.
The remaining Cultivators of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty unable to defeat the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede fled into Mysterious Lady Palace’s Liuren Great Formation.
The Red Thorn Tail Scorpion attacking the Mysterious Lady Palace was slain by Yuexi with supreme swordsmanship. Yuexi had yet to recover when the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede followed, attacking the Liuren Great Formation.
The Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede spat out venom, and the Barrier of the Liuren Great Formation couldn’t withstand it, eroded by the venom and breached.
A multitude of demonic insects took the opportunity to rush into the Great Formation of Mysterious Lady Palace.
“The demonic insects have broken in!”
“Everyone, do not panic, slay these demonic insects.”
Seeing the formation of Mysterious Lady Palace breached, Yuexi unavoidably panicked, but she immediately reminded herself to stay calm; otherwise, the Elders and Disciples of Mysterious Lady Palace could all possibly be wiped out.
Yuexi swung the Three-foot Green Peak, slaying a hundred thousand demonic insects.
Suddenly, yellow mist engulfed them, and more than a dozen Elders from Mysterious Lady Palace met tragic deaths.
The yellow mist approached Yuexi.
“This is bad…”
A feeling of dread struck Yuexi’s heart; this Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede that could break the Liuren Great Formation – its power was far more terrifying than the Ghost-faced Spider, Red Thorn Tail Scorpion, and other Ancient Demonic Insects.
Yuexi was no match for it.
Yuexi had only cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, whereas the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede might have cultivated in the Valley of Doom for hundreds of millions of years to achieve such dreadful power.
“Senior Brother, shortly, you will take over the Hook Chen Great Formation; there might be danger for the people of Mysterious Lady Palace…”
Seeing the nearby Mysterious Lady Palace’s formation breached by the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede, as Elders and Disciples from Mysterious Lady Palace each fought for themselves, Lu Changsheng decided to intervene and help.
His sixth disciple, Chen Yao, was from Mysterious Lady Palace; it was necessary for him to build a relationship with Mysterious Lady Palace.
Lu Changsheng had quite a conflict with Emperor Ku of Miluo Palace, but he held no grudge against Mysterious Lady Palace. The founder of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Taihua Sword Maiden, was once one of the Sword Maidens of the Ancient Mysterious Lady Palace.
If he could now do a favor for Yuexi, the present first genius of Mysterious Lady Palace, and she later became the next generation Sword Maiden of Mysterious Lady Palace, then he would be able to call in a favor in the future.
