Chapter 346 - 346 346 Netherworld Ghost Insects Part 39

346: Chapter 346: Netherworld Ghost Insects (Part 39) 346: Chapter 346: Netherworld Ghost Insects (Part 39) Throughout history, Wanyao Valley has always stayed out of Shenwu Continent’s affairs.

Wu Tianxing’s sudden visit to Wanyao Valley must mean that something significant has happened.

“To tell you the truth, something has gone wrong in the Five Emperors City…”

Then, Wu Tianxing told them about the insect tide like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

“So, you came to Wanyao Valley to ask for help?”

Sky Wolf King raised his gaze slightly; he naturally knew Wu Tianxing’s purpose since they had come this far in their conversation.

“That’s right!”

Wu Tianxing said, “The insect tide is very terrifying.

It can still be stopped now, but once it breaks out completely, it will sweep across the Shenwu Continent, and I’m afraid Wanyao Valley won’t be able to escape it either.”

“Although it is true, Wanyao Valley has not intervened in the events of the Shenwu Continent since ten thousand years ago.

I’m afraid we are powerless to help with this matter.

Besides, with the strength of the Five Great Powers, can’t they withstand this mere insect tide?”

Sky Wolf King said.

He didn’t put the insect tide in his heart.

In his view, even if the insect tide was more powerful, it was at most similar to the beast tide.

With the strength of the Five Great Powers, they could easily resist it.

“Even if the Five Great Powers have the strength to resist the insect tide, their chances of success will be greater with the help of Wanyao Valley!”

Wu Tianxing said.

“Since you insist on this, let’s wait for the Demon Lord to come out.”

Sky Wolf King couldn’t drive Wu Tianxing away either.

He couldn’t make the decision on this matter, and they could only wait for the King Giant Ape to come out.

……

Transverse Mountain Range.

Wu Kuangyun, Zhuge Qianzhong, and the people from Pill King Hall and Martial God Palace were all standing in mid-air.

Below, a huge mountain range was crawling like a giant beast.

However, in the middle of this mountain range was a natural chasm that was bottomless and at its narrowest part spanned over a hundred feet, with clouds lingering all around it.

This was the Transverse Mountain Range, and this chasm almost separated the Shenwu Continent from the Five Emperors City, like the neck of a gourd.

“The insect tide is spreading at an alarming speed.

We should hurry up and set up our defenses here.

If we can’t stop the insect tide in this place, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Zhuge Qianzhong said.

“Let’s do it!”

At this time, tens of thousands of disciples from Pill King Hall had arrived at the Transverse Mountain Range.

The people of Martial God Palace, who had taken some elixirs to recover their energy, also went on to set up various prohibitions around the chasm and continuously strengthened the legal imprints.

Considering the speed of the insect tide’s spread, they had at most five days until it reached the Transverse Mountain Range.

So their time was limited.

Three days passed quickly.

By now, the area around the chasm had been heavily restricted.

Even a Martial Venerable would be unable to move it.

Everyone was tired, but Zhuge Qianzhong was not stingy and took out a lot of elixirs to share with everyone.

“So much time has passed, why haven’t the people from Ancient Sword Gate, Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, and the Leng Family arrived yet?”

Wu Kuangyun frowned.

Even if they took advantage of the natural defenses and set up a heavy prohibition, it would be difficult for the Martial God Palace and Pill King Hall alone to resist the insect tide.

The insect tide had an incredibly strong ability to corrode prohibitions, and they would have to constantly reinforce the legal imprints.

If they continued to consume their resources like this, they would eventually be unable to hold on.

“The Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect suffered heavy losses in the Ling Wu City battle.

They probably want to use this opportunity to recover their strength.

As for the Leng Family, they probably haven’t recovered from Leng Jiuyou’s incident yet.”

Zhuge Qianzhong spoke indifferently, but with a heavy tone.

Due to Long Yan, the Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect had already broken with Pill King Hall.

However, facing such a terrifying insect tide, all major forces had to work together, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh…

At this moment, a few breaking wind sounds rang out as Long Chen, Long Yan, Lingxi, Fat Cat, and Zhan Wushuang arrived at the Transverse Mountain Range.

“Master, have you been driven all the way here by the insect tide?”

Long Chen was the first to speak up.

Without thinking, he knew that the defenses of Martial God Palace in Falling Sunset City had already been broken by the bug tide.

Wu Kuangyun nodded and said, “The bug tide is terrifying.

This is the last natural chasm, so we must defend it.”

“I’ll go ahead and take a look.”

After giving a brief greeting to Wu Kuangyun and Zhuge Qianzhong, Long Yan left the Transverse Mountain Range and headed in the direction of Falling Sunset City.

Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, Lingxi, and Fat Cat naturally followed.

Although Zhan Wushuang harbored deep hatred for Martial God Palace, now was not the time for revenge.

Both Wu Kuangyun and Zhan Wushuang temporarily put their hatred aside.

Soon, the five of them arrived at the place where the bug tide was devastating everything.

“How terrifying this corrosive poison gas is!”

As soon as they approached, the five sensed a palpitation-inducing corrosive breath.

Up ahead, countless black insects were wreaking havoc.

Everywhere they went, all signs of life were swallowed up.

Even the spiritual energy infused within the surrounding space was devoured, with a terrifying corrosive poison gas spreading, and the ground was emitting a nauseating stench.

“What is this?”

Long Yan’s gaze fell on the black insects, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

“Netherworld King Gu Worm, it’s the Netherworld King Gu Worm!”

At the next moment, Long Yan exclaimed in shock.

“Big Brother, do you know the origin of these insects?”

Zhan Wushuang asked.

“I know a little bit.”

Long Yan nodded slightly, and his face became more serious than ever before.

Then, he gave a brief introduction of the Netherworld King Gu Worm to Long Chen and the others.

He had seen a few fragmented pieces of information about Netherworld King Gu Worm in some ancient books.

The Netherworld King Gu Worm was a terrifying creature from the Demon Realm.

It could swallow all energy, and was especially lethal to life.

The Netherworld King Gu Worm possessed Nether King Gu Poison, which was extremely fearful.

It was said that the Netherworld King Gu Worm had once erupted in the ancient era, destroying an entire world and turning it into a demon territory.

It was extremely terrifying.

“Netherworld King Gu Worm, it’s that horrifying?”

Upon hearing this, Long Chen and the others couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

They never thought that these unremarkable black insects would have such an extraordinary origin.

“If we don’t eliminate these Netherworld King Gu Worms, Shenwu Continent will face an unprecedented calamity.”

No wonder the Five Elements Child’s old master wanted to seal the Netherworld King Gu Worm.

Once the Netherworld King Gu Worm erupted, it could devour an entire world and easily destroy Shenwu Continent.

At this point, the Netherworld King Gu Worm was still only in the brewing stage, and if it truly erupts, Shenwu Continent will face an unprecedented calamity.

“Long Yan, you came quite quickly!”

At this moment, Ming Jiu’s voice suddenly sounded from an unknown place.

As his voice was still echoing in mid-air, his figure had already ghostly appeared in the void in front of the group.

“Ming Jiu, it really was you!”

Long Yan had already guessed this and didn’t feel surprised.

He said, “Ming Jiu, if I’m not wrong, you’re not the innate spiritual being Hunyuan Green Lotus, but the Netherworld King Gu Worm.”

Although the transformed Hunyuan Green Lotus was powerful, it still didn’t have the ability to control the Netherworld King Gu Worm.

There was only one possibility: Ming Jiu himself was the Netherworld King Gu Worm.

“You only know this now, but unfortunately, it’s already too late!”

Ming Jiu said, “That’s right.

My true form is the Netherworld King Gu Worm, the King of Gu Insects.

Mere Hunyuan Green Lotus is not worthy of my attention.

However, now, the Hunyuan Green Lotus is also my true body.”

At this moment, there was no need for him to hide anything.
