The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Shi Yi arrived at the Ten Fiends' lair, standing in an area outside, gazing at the scene inside the lair.

It was truly astonishing there, with towering mountains, hollow inside, filled with a dense, chaotic atmosphere.

Most astonishingly, when the chaotic energy in the sky thins out, one can see ten blood-red suns hanging high, thirty-three blood-red moons illuminating the earth, and three thousand stars revolving around the nest—a magnificent scene both mysterious and eerie.

At this moment, Shi Yi had no path under his feet, and the area ahead was shrouded in mist. To enter the haunted nest, he needed to perform a sacrifice with sacred blood to reveal a way out.

It's impossible to shed one's own blood, as doing so would expose some of one's secrets. That's why the arrival of Ning Chuan's clone was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Behind Shi Yi, there were many figures, including the brothers Shi Hao and Qin Hao, as well as many other powerful individuals who had entered the Fallen Immortal Ridge, all hoping to benefit from his presence and follow him in.

At the same time, some beings who witnessed Shi Yi's heroic figure and were impressed by his powerful combat strength wanted to follow him.

However, Shi Yi ignored their words of loyalty and silently took out the remains of Ning Chuan's clone. A burst of divine light flashed, and the remains of Ning Chuan's clone instantly transformed into a ball of essence blood, which Shi Yi sprinkled on the path in front of him.

"Buzz!"

As soon as they landed, the essence of blood seeped into the ground and disappeared. At the same time, the thirty-three blood moons hanging high in the sky suddenly shone, emitting strange phenomena.

"As expected of the essence of a six-time champion, it even caused the blood moon to tremble." The creatures behind exclaimed.

Shi Hao and Qin Hao also showed different expressions. Don't be fooled by how easily Shi Yi suppressed Ning Chuan's clone. In reality, this six-time champion is terrifyingly strong. It's only because Shi Yi cultivated two strands of immortal energy that he won so easily.

On their way here, they heard others talk about Ning Chuan's deeds and found it incredible. This person was born with a dragon pattern on his forehead and a celestial map on his back. Such a person is favored by the heavens and is destined to be extraordinary.

At that moment, a beam of light descended from the sky, and an ancient path suddenly appeared among the rocks, extending from the mysterious lair of evil spirits and stretching to Shi Yi's feet.

Without hesitation, he took a step and stepped onto this ancient road.

Even though the interior of the Fiend's Nest is fraught with danger, Shi Yi still has to venture in. After all, there may be the legendary ginseng fruit tree that grants immortality, as well as the Ten Fiend Techniques, which are said to be the ultimate in power, and the Heavenly Horned Ant Treasure Technique. There are also rumors that immortals have perished here, and a pool of immortal blood is sealed in the deepest part of the Fiend's Nest.

These are all unimaginable opportunities that should not be missed.

Of course, the degree of danger is proportional to the opportunity. The banished immortal laid out his plans here for six or seven lifetimes. During this time, he never revealed his abilities, and the outside world was unaware of his fame. For six or seven lifetimes, he attracted countless geniuses to this place, killing them and drawing their blood. It was truly terrifying.

Suddenly, Shi Yi turned around, looked at the creatures behind him who longed to follow him, and gave a curt reminder.

"This ominous nest is not a benevolent place, but a place of great misfortune. The vast majority of beings that enter it will die, and even ancient monsters will perish. If you do not want to die, you would better turn back immediately."

Of course, if you're looking for wealth and fortune through risk, then disregard what I said.

After saying that, Shi Yi stepped onto the ancient road without looking back and headed towards the haunted house.

Shi Hao and Qin Hao exchanged a glance. They didn't think Shi Yi was exaggerating. However, since Shi Yi knew the dangers involved and still chose to go in, they naturally wouldn't back down.

So the two followed closely behind Shi Yi, while the group of powerful figures behind them hesitated. Many were frightened and chose to turn back, while others did not believe it or had wishful thinking and chose to follow.

Ultimately, half of the creatures followed the three Stone Brothers.

These things are none of Shi Yi's business anymore. He was just kindly reminding them that whether or not to go in is their own choice.

The reason for this is that there are many beings among them who admire him.

A group of people entered the Ten Fiends' lair, where a mysterious aura swirled, blocking outside exploration. Creatures outside the Immortal Ancient City could no longer see what was happening inside through the Immortal Dao petals.

Soon, the ancient path came to an end, where a stone wall was inlaid with three stone gates, all of which were dark red, as if they had been stained with blood.

"Do the three stone gates mean three different paths?" Shi Hao walked over and looked around the place.

Shi Yi remained silent, then took out a stone carving. This was a gift from a cultivator of the Tongmen Sect. It was ancient and weathered, recording some paths inside the evil nest that led to places of opportunity.

Such stone carvings are not unique; many have been passed down, and Shi Hao and Qin Hao each possess one.

Shi Yi guessed that this was deliberately released by the Immortal to lure powerful people to explore the ominous nest, and then to kill them and perform a blood sacrifice.

“Brother, it seems we have to part ways here.” Qin Hao said, the three stone gates seemingly corresponding to the three brothers of the Stone Clan.

"Come with me, it's dangerous here," Shi Hao advised.

Qin Hao shook his head. If the two of them walked together, the opportunities they gained would have to be shared equally. Moreover, he didn't want to hide under his brother's wings; he wanted to forge his own invincible path and stand on his own.

Shi Hao had no choice but to leave a mark on him.

Then, he took the initiative and blasted open a stone door. Instantly, radiant light burst forth from behind the stone door, as if an extraordinary destiny was hidden within.

Shi Hao gave a shout, and Luo Dao, Lan Yichen, and the others followed in his footsteps, disappearing into the stone gate.

Seeing this, Qin Hao also blasted open a stone door, glanced at Shi Yi, and then plunged inside.

Other cultivators followed suit. Some chose the portals that Shi Hao and Qin Hao had entered through, while others asked Shi Yi for permission before blasting open the last remaining stone door and rushing inside.

Soon, all the cultivators who had entered set off, except for Shi Yi, who remained where he was.

At this moment, he was activating the Heavenly Destiny Tortoise Shell in the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness to perform divination. There, the secrets of heaven were unpredictable, cause and effect and destiny were intertwined, accompanied by fragments of time, making it extremely mysterious.

With the support of these three forces, a chaotic mist surged around Shi Yi, as if he were about to disappear from this world and transcend this ancient history.

Of course, this is just a feeling, and it may not actually be true.

On the future flower, the figure formed from Shi Yi's essence and spirit held the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect in one hand and the Heavenly Fate Tortoise Shell in the other. With his Taiyin Double Pupils open, he reached out and parted the mist to see the secrets of heaven.

The next moment, Shi Yi stared at the three stone gates on the stone wall in front of him. Instead of choosing one of them, he unexpectedly took a dozen steps back and jumped straight into the hazy and chaotic abyss.

A fierce wind howled, brushing against Shi Yi's face as he plummeted downwards.

To find the mastermind behind this terrifying trap, one must not enter it uninvited. After all, this is the lair of the Ten Fiends, and once trapped in the killing formation, even with two strands of immortal energy, Shi Yi would only be able to flee in a sorry state.

The best way is to take an unconventional path and not follow the route prescribed by the immortal.

With the help of the Heavenly Fate Tortoise Shell, the Ancient Lamp of Karma, and the Flower of the Future, Shi Yi became certain that the abyss behind him was a path that could lead him out of the killing trap. Only by taking this path could he avoid being led by the nose by the Immortal. However, the Immortal must have also considered this and would surely have set up numerous obstacles on this path to escape the killing trap.

Shi Yi had anticipated this. As long as he didn't fall into the chaotic killing trap carefully set up by the immortal, he would have a chance to compete for great fortune.

His body plummeted rapidly, and a long time had passed. The bottom below remained unfathomable. Shi Yi remained expressionless, carrying a pair of Taiyin wings on his back, as he swooped down.

He didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly his expression changed, his speed dropped drastically, and a pitch-black scene came into view.

This is a dark forest, where towering ancient trees stand, their trunks as black as ink, utterly silent, and appearing very eerie.

As soon as Shi Yi approached, he felt a terrifying anti-air restriction that pressed down on him, causing him to fall continuously until he finally landed on the ground.

Standing in the dark forest, he remained expressionless as he surveyed the ancient, black trees.

This was no peaceful place. Shi Yi, who possessed the Taiyin Double Pupil, immediately noticed something strange about it, right there on those dark ancient trees.

There were hideous and terrifying insect nests hanging on the branches of dark ancient trees, filled with black god insects in a slumbering state. Their numbers were so great that they were terrifying, far more than those in the previous half-ginseng fruit forest. They were not even in the same league, as if this place was the source of endless black god insects.

Shi Yi did not act rashly. There were simply too many Black God Insects here. If they all awakened and charged at him, it would be very troublesome.

He quickly determined the direction and then stepped forward.

At the same moment, in a secret chamber filled with a sacred aura, a man who looked like an immortal suddenly changed his expression and sensed something was amiss.

He looked surprised, his eyes revealing his astonishment.

Having orchestrated seven lifetimes and ensnared countless geniuses, this was the first time he had ever encountered someone who defied convention and remained uninvolved.

Generally speaking, when cultivators enter a secret place like the Ten Fiends' Nest, they tend to follow the crowd and go with the flow of habitual thinking. Under his constant guidance, they enter the killing trap. Even the most cunning ancient freaks are no exception.

This was the first time he had ever met someone like Shi Yi.

However, the immortal showed no sign of panic. He had been managing this place for several lifetimes and had long since made preparations for all kinds of emergencies. It would not be an exaggeration to say that everything was foolproof.

"If you had joined the game, you might have lived a little longer, but you were too clever for your own good and barged into the insect hive..." He shook his head and smiled, the surprise in his eyes had disappeared, and he was completely calm and composed.

Before him lay various divine medicines and treasures, covered with symbols—all bait, waiting for heroes to enter the game.

Deep within the abyss, in the dark insect nest, Shi Yi cautiously moved forward. His Taiyin double pupils shone brightly as he constantly monitored his surroundings. At this moment, Shi Yi realized where he was. It was most likely an insect nest where the Immortal kept the Black God Insects. He used the resources within the Ten Fiends' Nest to raise the Black God Insects and then stored them away. When the killing scheme was activated, he would awaken all these dormant Black God Insects and reap the lives of the prodigies.

Just as he was pondering, a melodious flute tune drifted from an unknown place, ethereal and pleasant, making one want to praise it.

But Shi Yi had no such intention. His face was solemn as he knew that the immortal was making his move, intending to use the flute music to awaken the insect nest and kill him, the uninvited guest.

In just a short while, the tranquil and peaceful dark forest became restless, with rustling sounds constantly heard from the ancient black trees.

Then, one by one, the black god insects awoke from their slumber, their fangs bared, ferocious and terrifying, their eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

In an instant, the sky turned dark, filled with countless black divine insects. Among them were Venerables, divine fire, and true gods. Of course, true god-level black divine insects were very rare. They covered the sky and formed a sea of ​​insects, so large that it made one's scalp tingle.

Guided by the flute music, the swarm of insects surged and charged toward Shi Yi, sweeping over him in an overwhelming manner.

Countless black worms attacked, each possessing an indestructible body. When they gathered together, they were like a torrent, capable of exhausting even the strongest person.

Although Shi Yi possessed extraordinary combat power, he couldn't help but gasp in shock when faced with such a massive number of Black God Insects.

He dared not delay, flapping his wings and fleeing rapidly forward. But he could not escape the swarm of insects, for there were already awakened insects waiting for him ahead. In the end, Shi Yi was trapped in the swarm of insects.

He immediately went on a killing spree, his body engulfed in golden crow fire, blazing fiercely like a human-shaped sun, its temperature terrifyingly high, even distorting the void.

"Crack!"

One by one, the black god insects exploded from the flames; however, compared to the sheer size of the insect swarm, the number Shi Yi killed was negligible.

He kept attacking, using the Qilin Treasure Technique, the Grass Character Sword Technique, the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique...

Various powerful techniques with wide-area destructive capabilities were unleashed one after another, and countless Black God Insects were killed or wounded like dumplings being dropped into a pot. However, they remained fearless and charged forward wave after wave, like moths drawn to a flame.

Shi Yi knew this was not a solution. If he remained trapped in the sea of ​​insects, he would eventually be worn down and die. Each of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques required an astonishing consumption of magical power. Therefore, he kept moving forward, trying to escape this dark ancient forest.

Suddenly, Shi Yi felt a sharp pain in his arm, as if a needle had been pierced into his flesh.

This surprised him greatly, considering that he possessed two strands of immortal energy, and his physical strength was unparalleled.

His eyes darted around as he struck out with a palm towards the source. This palm strike was surrounded by two streams of immortal energy, its power earth-shattering. He used all his strength.

"puff!"

One of the black worms exploded on the spot, turning into blood rain and fragments.

It turned out to be a Black God Insect at the True God Realm, mingling in the endless sea of ​​insects, ambushing Shi Yi's physical body.

There are quite a few more of these black worms, all eager to try.

Shi Yi's face was grave. He didn't want to be dragged down here. He stirred up the sea of ​​insects and killed countless of them.

After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Shi Yi finally saw hope; the end of the dark ancient forest was not far ahead.

Just then, a tremendous pressure swept over. He looked closely and saw an extremely powerful black god insect, surrounded by countless dark insects like stars around the moon, charging towards Shi Yi.

"Insect King?"

Shi Yi knew what this was; it was the Black God Insect King, whose cultivation was so strong that it was almost approaching that of a Heavenly God, posing a considerable threat to him.

The legendary Black God Insect Emperor has reached the level of a celestial being, and it would take at least ten such insect kings to cultivate through the method of raising Gu.
