Chapter 503: First Encounter with Demonic Insect
A third-level, Jindan-grade ghost cultivator can be considered a backbone figure no matter which force he is placed in.

Although he cannot be compared with those mainstays, he is also second only to these strong ones.

But now, Xu Jun just didn't want to continue to fight with this ghost cultivator, so he attacked casually.

That's right, he just casually struck out with the thunder hammer, and a flash of lightning and thunder came down, which smashed the ghost cultivator into ashes.

Xu Jun actually found that dealing with this Jindan ghost cultivator was very simple, much easier than dealing with a human cultivator of the same level.

Glancing at the palm of his hand, where there were still traces of lightning that had not yet dissipated, Xu Jun immediately understood.

A ghost cultivator is still a ghost cultivator. Even if he has cultivated to the third level of golden elixir, he still cannot escape the fate of a ghost cultivator.

Although being a ghost cultivator makes many things much easier, such as the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, there are too few ghost cultivators in the Immortal Alliance, so the chance of encountering one is low. Once encountered, because they don't know each other, generally speaking, in a battle of the same level, cultivators facing ghost cultivators often suffer a small loss.

But it's different for Xu Jun.

The thunder and lightning he released was a divine thunder comparable to a heavenly calamity. Coupled with the blessing of his innate magic weapon, the thunder hammer, when he deliberately targeted a Jindan ghost cultivator, it was extremely easy and there was no difficulty at all.

As his eyes turned, Xu Jun stretched out his hand.

After the strange creature was killed, some strange ashes and a ghost bead appeared on the ground.

This thing is actually quite precious, and it can be considered a high-grade material among the third-level treasures. Moreover, because the strange creature was killed instantly, it did not damage its origin in the long fight. Therefore, the appearance of these two pieces of ghost materials is extremely good. If you want to sell them, their value is higher than that of normal strange creatures of the same level.

However, for Xu Jun today, although these things are valuable, they are not worth his special attention.

After dealing with the ghost cultivator, Xu Jun turned his attention to the special formation of this place.

The formation here has actually been disguised to a certain extent, and even ordinary first- and second-level formation masters may not be able to detect it.

However, when Xu Jun released his spiritual sense and perceived the situation, he was able to easily discover how mysterious the formation here was.

Well, this formation...

Xu Jun's eyes slowly lit up.

It has to be said that when a person reaches the level of a grandmaster in a certain skill, he will naturally delve into it.

Even if this thing was not originally of interest to him, as long as his level reaches the top level, then it will become an interest.

Just like at this moment, in Xu Jun's perception, he immediately discovered the formation here.

This formation was very different from all the formations he had encountered before.

Xu Jun is now a genuine fourth-level formation grandmaster, but precisely because of this, he is familiar with all the mysteries of the formation.

Unless the formation is so grand that it exceeds the limit of the fourth level, any formation would not be difficult in his eyes.

However, the formation here is different.

It is fundamentally different from the many formations Xu Jun had seen before.

This difference can be said to be that the operation of the core parts is completely different.

If I had to use a metaphor to describe it, it would be that there is a huge difference in the internal driving force.

The core of the Immortal Alliance's formation is like an internal combustion engine, which uses fuel as power.

However, the core of this formation is a new energy source, or hydrogen power.

Although the effects that everyone can achieve seem similar, the tricks used are vastly different.

For an engineer who is used to developing internal combustion engines, if he suddenly sees an electric car or a hydrogen car, that feeling would definitely be strange.

However, in the final analysis, the things developed by these three types are all dynamic, and the effects seem to be similar.

Therefore, if a strong R&D expert in a certain field switches to the other two companies, he or she will still be able to adapt faster than ordinary people.

This was the case with Xu Jun. Relying on his strength as a fourth-rank formation grandmaster, after sensing this formation produced in the abyss, he did not destroy it immediately, but began to study it.

He first used some kind of activation method to completely and fully activate the formation that had been hidden.

Then, huge rays of light appeared in the jungle.

An hour later, a complete and huge formation appeared before their eyes.

Xu Jun released his spiritual sense and eagerly learned the techniques of this new formation.

He had also seen a formation on the central island of the Demon Lake, but that formation was obviously not a product of the abyss, but instead had deep traces of a human formation.

If he was not mistaken, that formation should have been created by the local demon cultivators in the Yama Realm.

However, this formation is different.

The evil aura from the abyss, after the formation fully appeared, came towards them without any disguise.

It can be imagined that the abyss demon cultivators must have spent a huge amount of money to set up this array.

However, only in this way can it become one of the eight special formation centers throughout the entire Yama Realm.

Xu Jun has studied it for a long time, and he doesn't dare to say that he has already comprehended the formation, but he has some idea about it.

Logically speaking, he could have taken action to destroy the formation at this time. But at this moment, his heart was slightly moved.

After taking out a few high-quality spirit stones, Xu Jun placed them into an embedded point of the formation.

Top-grade spirit stones, this thing is a universal currency even in the abyss. If a demon cultivator wants to improve his cultivation, he also needs spiritual vein resources, so no matter which plane, as long as there are cultivators, no one will refuse spirit stones.

Xu Jun's wrist trembled slightly, and he exerted several special powers.

The next moment, the energy in the spirit stone began to be released and absorbed by the formation.

Suddenly, a black light appeared in the center of the formation and began to spread around.

If Master Sha Zuo was here and saw what Xu Jun did, he would probably be scared out of his wits and would regret giving Xu Jun the task of destroying such an important special formation.

Because at this time, what Xu Jun was doing was not to destroy the eye of the formation, but to stimulate the power in the eye of the formation and start connecting the space tunnel.

This was not because Xu Jun was reckless, but was the result of rigorous calculation.

According to Xu Jun's observation, although the formation was successfully arranged, the correct time to activate it would at least take years to calculate.

Once that time comes, all the array eyes of the Yama Realm will be activated at the same time, opening a space tunnel with these eight special arrays as the core, and sending a steady stream of abyss demon insects over.

However, if the formation is activated before this time point, then this formation will lose the possibility of connecting with other formations.

In other words, the power that is activated at this moment is just the power of this array core, which can at most open up a space tunnel.

As for the others, if they are activated at the wrong time, they naturally cannot cause resonance in the formation.

Xu Jun did this just because he wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful the abyss demon worm that made people shudder with fear was.

As for the demon insects spreading and destroying the Yama Realm...

Xu Jun believed that with his strength, if he just opened the center of the formation, he would be able to control the situation anyway.

Moreover, Yu Hui is not around today. If he can't hold on, he will immediately summon three projections.

With the combined strength of the four most powerful men, Xu Jun didn't believe that there would be any accidents or unexpected events.

Gradually, the black light grew larger and larger, and finally gathered into a huge wormhole above the center of the formation.

This was not the first time Xu Jun had seen such a scene.

When Yu Hui was deceiving the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yama Realm, although the content played was just an illusion, it looked extremely real.

And now, Xu Jun can tell others how real it is.

At this moment, watching the formation of this space tunnel, Xu Jun really had a feeling that he was repeating the illusion.

Soon, a giant python with a rugged face, huge body, and exuding an extremely evil and deathly aura slowly swam out of the wormhole.

Xu Jun's eyes immediately became sharp.

Abyss demon worm!

He did not dare to delay and immediately pointed his finger, and a sword energy came flying.

"call out."

With one sword, the giant python's head fell off its neck.

Xu Jun was slightly stunned. The strength of this abyss demon worm... was countless times lower than he had imagined.

However, after sensing the aura that had not yet dissipated from this guy, Xu Jun's mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it, I was deceived by its appearance, it turns out this is just a foundation-building level abyss demon worm.

No matter how powerful this race is, the Foundation Establishment level is still the Foundation Establishment level. In front of Xu Jun's sword energy, enemies of this level can be easily destroyed.

"Snapped."

Suddenly, the Abyss Demon Worm, whose body had been squeezed out for most of the time but whose head was cut off by Xu Jun, trembled violently for a few times, and then exploded.

There were large amounts of green blood in the exploded body, which spilled onto the ground. Wisps of white smoke actually rose from the ground, and everything on the ground was corroded into pits of varying sizes.

Extremely poisonous!

The blood in the body of the abyss demon worm actually contains such a deadly poison.

Although this level of poison would definitely not do anything to Xu Jun, this was just a second-level demon insect.

Moreover, not everyone is Xu Jun. If the number of these demon insects reaches an overwhelming number...

Xu Jun couldn't help but shudder. He finally understood why so many big guys had such frightened expressions when they heard this name.

"Hiss."

The strange noise was heard again, and a new abyss demon worm twisted its body desperately, squeezed the body of its dead companion, and then drilled out.
