Chapter 572: 481 Snow Clan (Requesting Monthly Votes)_1

"What! Slaughtered almost half of the beings in the Hundred Spirits Realm? That’s terrifying?"

Daoist Friend Zhao exclaimed in surprise.

"What divine skills does this vicious insect possess to be able to wipe out nearly half of the beings in the Hundred Spirits Realm!"

Taoist Friend Mo asked, puzzled.

"Vajra Beetle, according to the Flying Feather Tribe’s investigation, this ferocious insect comes from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, feeds on metals, and is impervious to blades and spears, fire and water. A fifth-tier Vajra Beetle once appeared in the Hundred Spirits Realm and slaughtered three Soul Transformation Cultivators."

Shen Long’s expression was grave.

This was the information he had acquired from his soul search on Wu Qing’s Nascent Soul. Cai Lei self-destructed, Seven Stars True Monarch returned to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, and only then did the Vajra Beetle appear in the Hundred Spirits Realm. Perhaps Cai Lei’s actions were related to the beetle’s appearance in that realm.

"Killed three Soul Transformation Cultivators? The Vajra Beetle is that powerful?"

Daoist Friend Zhao said, astonished.

"It can withstand attacks from ordinary Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures with its tough body, which is not less durable than those treasures. Several Soul Transformation Cultivators joined forces and used heavy Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures to finally extinguish that fifth-tier Vajra Beetle."

Shen Long explained.

"Several Soul Transformation Cultivators had to join forces to annihilate it? The Vajra Beetle is that formidable? Are all the insects from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot this powerful?"

Wu Yan asked in shock.

"Not necessarily, the Vajra Beetle is not just any Spirit Insect in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot either; it’s ranked within the top three hundred on the List of Myriad Insects. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be this formidable,"

Shen Long explained.

The List of Myriad Insects is a directory compiled by cultivators from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, listing over ten thousand species of Spirit Insects, with the Vajra Beetle ranked in the top three hundred, which is quite high.

"Couldn’t the cultivators of the Flying Feather Tribe eradicate the Vajra Beetles they discovered in the perilous lands? Why resort to sealing them up?"

Lu Yingying asked, confused.

"The spatial rifts in that perilous area are numerous, and the space is rather unstable. The Flying Feather Tribe cultivators hoped to use the perilous area to deal with the Vajra Beetles. They did not expect the emergence of a fifth-tier Vajra Beetle, which kept assaulting the seals. They feared that if the beetles broke through, it would lead to a calamity for all beings, and this prompted their attack on the Tianji Realm,"

Shen Long patiently explained.

With sudden realization, Daoist Friend Zhao and the five others understood why the Flying Feather Tribe was aggressively invading the Tianji Realm.

"Under the threat of the Vajra Beetle, the Flying Feather Tribe is likely to attack the Tianji Realm again unless they resolve the issue with the beetle,"

Daoist Friend Zhao said, frowning.

As long as the fifth-tier Vajra Beetle remains, the Flying Feather Tribe would be uneasy, and they would surely attack again.

"By the way, we soul searched a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator of the Tianyuan Tribe and discovered that Bian He is a newly advanced Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Tianyuan Tribe."

Lu Yingying stated.

The Tianyuan Tribe was under immense pressure, yet they still dispatched a Divinity Transformation Cultivator to support the Flying Feather Tribe. If they truly wanted to provide support, there was no need to send Bian He, and if they didn’t wish to assist, it was even less necessary to send him.

"Daoist Friend Zhao, let’s first dispatch people to clean up the Flying Feather Tribe cultivators within the Tianji Realm. Cultivate a few more Divinity Transformation Cultivators. I need to return to the Tianyuan Realm. I have a feeling that the Tianyuan Tribe is up to something big."

Shen Long said, frowning.

"What, Taoist Friend Shen, you’re heading to the Tianyuan Realm? The Flying Feather Tribe might attack any moment, Taoist Friend Shen, please stay in the Tianji Realm a bit longer."

Daoist Friend Zhao earnestly urged.

With Shen Long’s strength being evident, as long as he was in the Tianji Realm, they would not be afraid.

If Shen Long went to the Tianyuan Realm, it would be hard to say that the Flying Feather Tribe wouldn’t take the opportunity to attack. By then, they might not be able to withstand it.

"Yes, Taoist Friend Shen! We’ve just repelled the Flying Feather Tribe, and many of their cultivators are still lurking in the Tianji Realm. If you stay longer, we won’t fail to reward you."

Lu Yingying seconded the suggestion.

"With Taoist Friend Mo and the others here, blocking the Flying Feather Tribe shouldn’t be a big issue. With Bian He gone, the Tianyuan Tribe will surely be aware, and they might seize the chance to launch a counterattack. I must see what’s happening in the Tianyuan Tribe."

Shen Long declared, his voice solemn.

Before this incident, the Human Clan of the Tianji Realm was being oppressed by the Flying Feather Tribe. Shen Long’s battle eliminated four Soul Transformation Cultivators, and with Bian He’s self-destruction, his Life-Bound Lamp extinguished, the Tianyuan Tribe couldn’t help but be suspicious.

A portion of the Flying Feather Tribe’s cultivators had fled back to the Hundred Spirits Realm, surely alerting the Tianyuan Tribe.

"In the short term, the Flying Feather Tribe definitely won’t dare to come here unless they aren’t afraid of Taoist Friend Shen and Daoist Friend Zhao. Blocking the news of Taoist Friend Shen’s departure, we can delay for some time,"

Mo Wuya suggested.

"The Tianyuan Realm has gathered over a million Human Cultivators; we cannot afford to lose them. It’s good for Taoist Friend Shen to go take a look. If I were a high-level member of the Flying Feather Tribe, I wouldn’t dare to attack the Tianji Realm again so soon,"

Wu Yan analyzed.

"Alright then! Taoist Friend Shen, this is a token of our appreciation. If there is no movement from the Tianyuan Tribe in the Tianyuan Realm, please return to the Tianji Realm as soon as possible. With the presence of the Vajra Beetle, the Flying Feather Tribe will surely invade our Tianji Realm again,"

Zhao Sheng flicked his sleeve, and a storage bracelet with flickering green light flew out, landing in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long swiftly scanned it with his Divine Sense, finding twenty 3,000-year-old Spiritual Medicine and ten sets of fifth-tier Artifact Refining materials. He voiced his thanks and accepted the storage bracelet.

After some casual conversation, Shen Long took his leave.

······

Tianyuan Realm, an endless expanse of plain where blood ran like rivers and a multitude of corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Human Cultivators were busy collecting the bodies and treating the wounded.

Three Saints City, Three Saints Hall.

Lin Xiang and Qin Yue sat in the main seats, with a dozen Soul Transformation Cultivators seated on either side.

"Lady Xue, we owe you a great debt for your support this time; otherwise, our losses would have been even greater,"

Lin Xiang looked toward a tall, white-robed lady and expressed his gratitude.

The white-robed lady was slightly larger than the Human Cultivators, with snow-white eyes and hair.

Xue Yao, at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, hailed from the Snow Clan of the Flying Snow Realm.

"Taoist Friend Lin is too kind. If not for your Human Clan’s support in our earlier years, our Snow Clan would have been annihilated,"

Xue Yao replied graciously, her voice sweet.

"We should have come earlier, but the passage from the Flying Snow Realm to the Jade Huan Realm was attacked by an unknown force. We had to search for a new spatial node, which caused some delay, and coincidentally, the Tianyuan Tribe chose to strike back at that time,"

A burly man in white robes spoke with a thundering voice.

Xue Sheng, also at the early stage of Divinity Transformation.

"Had you not arrived just in time, our losses would’ve been substantial,"

Li Wenbin said with a smile.

The Tianyuan Tribe had suddenly counterattacked the Human Clan, deploying over a dozen Soul Transformation Cultivators. Fortunately, the Snow Clan had arrived in time.

With the help of three Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators from the Snow Clan, they repelled the Tianyuan Tribe’s assault, cutting down a Tianyuan Clan cultivator, while three Human Soul Transformation Cultivators were seriously injured.

"Had you not arrived in time, Taoist Friend Ye and the others might have perished,"

Yuan Rui remarked with a sigh.

Lacking the essence blood of a fifth-level Demon Ape, he hadn’t succeeded in cultivating the thirteenth layer of the Heavenly Ape Transformation. Even when he applied the Art of Transformation, he could only take the beating from the Spiritual Treasure head-on, falling significantly short of Shen Long’s prowess.

"By the way, wasn’t there a Taoist Friend Shen whose strength was extraordinary? What happened to him? Why isn’t Taoist Friend Shen here?"

Xue Sheng asked curiously.

When the Human Clan sought help from the Snow Clan, they also conveyed frontline battle reports, making Shen Long’s presence impossible to overlook.

"Taoist Friend Shen has gone to assist the Human Clan of the Tianji Realm and hasn’t returned yet. Lady Xue, you’ve had a long journey; please take some time to rest,"

Lin Xiang said amicably.

Xue Yao agreed, and everyone returned to their respective residences.
