Chapter 410 - Chapter 410 Chapter 232 Pale Worm (Happy National Day)_2

Chapter 410: Chapter 232: Pale Worm! (Happy National Day)_2 Chapter 410: Chapter 232: Pale Worm! (Happy National Day)_2 The Taoists seated cross-legged around the room all opened their eyes which no longer contained eyeballs.

Then, their mouths opened and they each spat out a pale worm egg.

Following a soft landing, these eggs cracked open with a ‘plop’ and some illusory worms crawled out.

As soon as these worms appeared, the host Taoists immediately turned into dried corpses and slumped to the ground.

The pale worms crawled in unison to the altar, then bit into the bare feet of the True Disciple and burrowed inside.

With each worm that entered,

the True Disciple’s aura grew stronger.

His aura expanded rapidly.

Golden Core Late Period, Golden Core Perfection…

Then, his eyes suddenly disappeared and the True Disciple began to laugh maniacally with a wide grin.

As the Sect Master’s worm also entered his body,

the True Disciple’s aura suddenly stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm!

Above his head, an infant-sized illusory figure emerged.

Just as the Nascent Soul began to appear,

Pop!

A large mouth suddenly opened behind the True Disciple and a pale tongue lashed out, drawing the Nascent Soul in.

Amid sounds of chewing,

the True Disciple’s body stiffened, then blood poured from his seven orifices, and he too fell to the ground.

Thud! Thud!

Seconds later,

a strange noise reverberated throughout the cave mansion.

The sound quickly penetrated the cave mansion and the Immortal Palace,

allowing those outside who were engaged in battle to hear it.

Then, the Sky Sword Sect elder, just startled by the heartbeat sound,

suddenly discovered that the two Guest Elders who were assisting him screamed tragically.

And then their bodies turned into dried corpses and fell from the sky.

The Sky Sword Sect elder could vaguely see something appearing on the falling bodies of the two elders, which suddenly entered the Immortal Palace.

“Hiss!”

“What on earth has happened?”

“Those two Guest Elders, I recall, had resorted to using Secret Techniques to sacrifice their path in exchange for the strength of Golden Core Early Period despite being False Golden Cores!”

“How could they have suddenly been afflicted?”

On the deck of the large Immortal Boat, the disciples who had escaped from the Artifact Heart Sect all changed their expressions dramatically and were seized by terror.

However, before these disciples could think to do anything,

another heartbeat sound came to their ears.

The Artifact Heart Sect disciples, who had mustered the courage to flee, one by one screamed and turned into dried corpses.

But because their cultivation was low, the worms that hatched from the cultivated eggs they carried were also of low level.

Once hatched, they were immediately blocked by the Formation activated by the Sky Sword Sect’s Foundation Establishment at first notice.

But as soon as these worms met with resistance, they exploded on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the deck of the large Immortal Boat burst into over a dozen huge fire bursts as if hit by a dozen heavy bombs.

Luckily, as the large Immortal Boat was the conveyance of an elder, it only suffered minor damage on the deck even though it exploded internally.

“Pale worms?”

The Sky Sword Sect elder upon encountering this calamity hastily retreated back onto the Immortal Boat while his closest disciples’ whispers filled his ears.

“This is the Demon Heart Sect’s Secret Technique, the Demon Heart Alien Worm!”

“However, this technique’s conditions for use are extremely harsh, and the host will turn into a worm puppet, with many risks involved. One careless move can lead to total failure and death… How could there be cultivators willing to use this Secret Technique? It’s clearly a loss beyond worth!”

“Has the Artifact Heart Sect member who joined the Devil Heart Sect gone mad?”

Faintly, the Sky Sword Sect elder guessed the truth of the matter.

It wasn’t just one in the Artifact Heart Sect higher-ups who had gone mad; in fact, both the Sect Master and his True Disciple had gone mad after leaving the Blood God Secret Realm.

It was just that one was a madman through and through, while the other maintained an outward appearance of calm.

Thud!

The Immortal Palace reverberated with another loud boom.

And then a sudden change occurred!

A colossal pale worm illusion, about a kilometer tall, suddenly appeared above the Immortal Palace.

The worm illusion only had two eyes and a mouth like black holes on its face, and a pair of human-shaped hands on its long body that were frantically waving.

After appearing, it didn’t take long for its body to transform from illusory to real.

While this was happening, both the corpses inside the Immortal Palace and those outside,

had psychic threads pulling their Divine Souls out of their bodies, which then flowed into the pale humanoid shadow.

Clearly, with this arrangement in place, not only would the flesh not be spared, neither would the Divine Souls.

As the Divine Souls entered its body,

the pale worm shadow seemed to acquire a physical form, and as a result, faces of people who had become Hosts and then had their Divine Souls consumed appeared on the skin of its chest and shoulders.

And on the forehead of the pale worm, the face of the Artifact Heart Sect’s True Disciple appeared.

Wearing a bizarre smile and feeling rather pleased with himself, he even raised the worm’s head to look towards the sky.

“Do my Taoist Friends come to congratulate the birth of our Sect’s Guardian God?”

“Alas, the elders and disciples here have all sacrificed themselves for the birth of the Guardian God, so I can only offer a humble hospitality… ”

“Eh, why are you leaving so soon?”

“Please stay and join me for a meal!”

The enormous pale worm had started to move even before the human face could speak.

Though it had just been born, its movements already caused disruption in the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

It made everyone present feel as if heavy stones were suddenly pressing down on their shoulders.

Several other sect elders made the decisive call to retreat and regroup for now.
