Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Yi Jue took light steps, and three rhinoceros beetles quickly crawled over to him.

The first shot was fired, hitting the horn of the rhinoceros beetle. The rhinoceros beetle did not stop at all and remained in a stalemate with Yi Jue. Yi Jue felt a huge force coming along the gun barrel.

Then, the other two rhinoceros beetles placed their horns directly on the horn that was holding back Yi Jue's gold-eating insect spear. The three rhinoceros beetles pushed Yi Jue back step by step.

Yi Jue suddenly retracted his strength, stepped back, and then flew directly into the air. At this time, a spider web fell towards him.

Yi Jue disappeared on the spot with his blood escape. The three-headed rhinoceros beetles took a few steps forward, then stopped and began to look for Yi Jue.

"What a great strength! He is worthy of the title of indestructible."

"But unfortunately, it was me who encountered it!"

Yi Jue moved and stabbed the spear in his hand directly into the level five spider. The three rhinoceros beetles crawled over quickly. The spider was also spitting out spider silk. One of its legs swept across like a knife. Yi Jue slid the spear away and instantly met the three rhinoceros beetles again.

Yi Jue repelled it several times, and then he felt that his magic power was seriously depleted. He didn't know when the rhinoceros beetle would run out of strength, but his magic power was exhausted first.

However, relying solely on strength, it was no match for the rhinoceros beetle. Therefore, Yi Jue looked at the extremely tiny mouth of the rhinoceros beetle and thought of a way.

While Yi Jue was entangled by the spirit insects, Han Fengmiao was not idle, but was setting up a magic circle. Yi Jue was trying to find a way to break the attack of the three rhinoceros beetles. Once the attack of the three rhinoceros beetles was broken, the mere level five monsters could be destroyed in a snap.

By then, the horror of the gold-eating bugs will be fully revealed. No matter what kind of spiritual insects Han Fengmiao has, they can be directly devoured and turned into food for the gold-eating bugs.

Therefore, Yi Jue turned his center of gravity without hesitation, ignoring Han Fengmiao's arrangements, and seized the time to break the rhinoceros beetle's defense. After a flash of inspiration, Yi Jue picked up a rhinoceros beetle with his sword, and a red light flashed on his hand.

Then the rhinoceros beetle stood still. Han Fengmiao was setting up a magic circle, but he felt a pain in his heart at this moment. The rhinoceros beetle that had been with him for hundreds of years had just died.

The other two rhinoceros beetles kept circling around this rhinoceros beetle. After a moment, Yi Jue waved his hand, and a red light floated by and then disappeared.

The rhinoceros beetle was now just an empty shell, and the blood and essence inside had long been devoured.

This was naturally Xiaomei's work. After breaking through to the Jindan stage, Xiaomei's body size had been able to shrink drastically. Although this rhinoceros beetle seemed to be covered with black armor, there were still some gaps where it fed.

Xiao Mei took advantage of this tiny gap to enter its body, and then used the bloodthirsty secret technique of a level five monster to suck all the blood of the rhinoceros beetle.

Yi Jue directly put away the empty shell. This was undoubtedly a relatively solid material for refining weapons. Whether it was armor or a shield, it was a rare treasure.

However, this scene angered Han Fengmiao.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of this saying, forgive others when you can?"

Yi Jue turned around and looked directly at the man from the Yuling Sect. He also had a bunch of spirit pets with him, but his previous fighting habits had never allowed him to rely on spirit pets. It was obvious that the Yuling Sect's fighting ideas were different from his.

"Friend Han, how do you repay kindness if you repay evil with kindness?" Yi Jue did not say much, his meaning was very clear. Since they met here, the ultimate pursuit is to fight to the death. Here, you should show mercy when you can. After the winner achieves the Nascent Soul stage, he will not be grateful for your mercy.

Han Fengmiao laughed three times, and then his voice became somewhat sad.
"In my life, I have tamed more than a hundred species of spiritual insects, and more than a dozen species have accompanied me through the years. Only this rhinoceros beetle is something I truly treasure."

"I shouldn't have been angry. You've helped me get rid of some of my demons. So, to express my happiness, I, Han, will accept your life today."

Then, with a wave of the seal in his hand, an ochre-colored magic circle covering the entire arena was set up.

The reason why Yi Jue didn't care about the magic circle he had set up was because in Yi Jue's opinion, no matter what kind of magic circle it was, as long as the eye of the circle was found, it could almost be broken.

He himself is a good master of formations, and he has been taught by Xin Ruyin for twenty years. He does not take ordinary formations seriously.

Things are always so coincidental. Once anyone does not take other people's methods seriously, he will inevitably suffer a big loss.

"This formation is called Thick Earth Insect Breeding Formation. Please appreciate it."

Then, the countless spirit insects on his body began to scramble to crawl towards the ground, and under the cover of this formation, they slowly began to rise into the air.

Yi Jue felt that the earth's energy around him had begun to rise to more than three feet.

Looking at the many spirit insects floating up with the earth's energy, Yi Jue understood the meaning of this formation. The fundamental purpose of this formation was to condense the earth's energy, make it float up, and create a space that allows many spirit insects to move freely.

And this formation was now controlled by Han Fengmiao. Yi Jue did not hesitate at all. He appeared behind Han Fengmiao in a flash and slashed at the formation with a sword.

However, Han Fengmiao's body trembled, and a rhinoceros beetle appeared in her place. Yi Jue slashed the rhinoceros beetle's horn with a sword, which made a teeth-grinding sound, but the rhinoceros beetle was not injured.

Instead, Han Fengmiao looked at Yi Jue with a sneer and said,
"Let me show you the true abilities of my generation of insect cultivators."

Then, he pressed the formation plate into the ground with his palm. As soon as the formation plate came into contact with the earth's energy, it continued to sink and disappeared in an instant.

Han Fengmiao was standing around hundreds of spiritual insects, looking at Yi Jue. Next to him were two black-armored unicorn insects. Not far away, an oversized spider was standing tall, baring its fangs and making a hissing sound.

When Yi Jue looked around, he saw several kinds of spiritual insects on the strange insect list. Among them, a snow-white flying centipede caught Yi Jue's attention.

That’s right, the six-winged frost centipede.

This spiritual insect is extremely fast and can emit icy air. It accompanied Yi Jue all the way to the spiritual world.

There were also many other spirit insects with extraordinary abilities, and with Han Fengmiao's insect cultivation ability, Yi Jue's gold-eating insects instantly scattered all over his body, forming a golden and silver battle suit that wrapped himself tightly.

Then, he flew towards the spider. At the moment, the only one that could restrain the gold-eating bugs was this one spider. The rest were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the terrifying number of gold-eating bugs. (End of this chapter)
