Chapter 838: Emerald Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust

In the sky, golden clouds sparkle, and the air is reflected in the clouds, which is vast and boundless.

Luo Ling tried several times to step forward and stop Chen Mu's actions, but he couldn't find an opportunity to use his magical powers. As a last resort, he had to retreat and avoid his attack temporarily.

After he stood still at a distance, his face couldn't help but darken.

Just as Chen Mu could see what he was thinking, how could he not see what Chen Mu was thinking?
We spent so much effort to break up his magic power wave just to make him give up.

And this move can be said to be successful.

The clear golden river flow now turned into mist and dispersed, and eight or nine out of ten of his magic power was gone.

Although he still has enough energy to hold on for a while, it will definitely be exhausted by then. By then, even if he wants to leave, Chen Mu will not stop like he does now.

When it comes to life and death, there are always better choices to make.

Luo Ling took a deep breath and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm a step behind today and can't afford to bother you any further. But after the catastrophe, I hope to have another fight with you to discuss who's better..."

Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and with a flash of golden light, his entire figure disappeared into the sky, leaving only the sound still echoing.

Chen Mu smiled faintly and his body returned to its normal size.

After glancing in the direction Luo Ling had left, he didn't pause for long before suddenly stepping onto the clouds and darting away...

After a moment, Luo Ling's momentum of leaving slowed down. He took out a flying letter, shook his head, and threw it in the direction of return, thinking to himself: "Brother Han, Luo has done his best..."

The specially made flying book had an incredibly fast speed. In just a moment's time, it had already reached the hands of Han Cang, who was fighting with Ming Chenzi.

After reading the flying letter, Han Cang frowned and was extremely surprised.

Even Luo Ling returned empty-handed. Could it be that Chen Mu is really so evil?

He shook his head and temporarily suppressed the mixed thoughts in his mind. Although his expression remained calm and composed, he knew that they could not delay any longer.

If they wanted to make Ming Chenzi and the others afraid to act rashly, they had to achieve some results before Chen Mu arrived. Otherwise, when they were attacked from both inside and outside, they would have no choice but to retreat.

Thinking of this, a mysterious light flashed in his eyes, and a large well flew out from the top of his head, and inside it was a pool of thick black water, gurgling like a spring.

This item was given by the Lord. After he refined it, his spiritual water would not dry up and his magic power would not be exhausted. This one mouthful was enough for him to spend for more than a day.

If used now, it should be able to suppress Ming Chenzi in one fell swoop.

He stretched out his hand to feel the abundant magic power, and with a clear shout, five dark magic shadows flew out from his body, accompanied by the sound of swirling strong wind, each rushing towards the target to kill!
……

Biyun Mountain is one of the three magic caves in the Black and White Realm.

Green clouds are floating and the wind is weeping.

In the formation below, the battle was extremely fierce.

Taoist Tianxiao, the master of Taizhen Palace, led the crowd out and killed Yan Xinjue and others, forcing them to retreat step by step.

On the one hand, Taoist Tianxiao is indeed very powerful. As an old-generation Nascent Soul cultivator of the Black and White Taoist Palace, he has been immersed in Taoism for hundreds of years and has reached a high level. No matter who his opponent is, he will retreat in embarrassment after a few moves.

Secondly, Yan Xinjue and others are quite cunning. Anyway, the goal of the Alliance Sect is to delay the people from the Taoist Palace to suppress the Demon Cave. Why bother to go to great lengths to defeat the opponent? Just hold them back.

As the saying goes, when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I advance. This scene is the best portrayal of this saying...

In the sky, three demon cultivators on the list of the Demonic Heaven Alliance stood together, looking down with a smile at Taoist Tianxiao who was furious in the formation.

"This person is very capable, but he still loses in front of us, doesn't he?"

The person who spoke was tall and thin, with extremely long arms, and his eyes were full of pride.

Thanks to the large formation set up in advance, they were able to advance and retreat freely. They had been fighting with Tianxiao and others until now. Although they were in a mess at times, they did not suffer any injuries.

After a few rounds of this, they couldn't help but feel a little proud and conceited.

The other person also laughed in response.

Yan Xinjue was the only sober person among the three. He frowned secretly when he heard this and reminded in a low voice:

"Envoy Wu, do not let your guard down. From what I know, this man has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years and has always been calm and low-key. But now he's acting so furious. How can we be sure this isn't a deliberate act? Perhaps he's trying to paralyze us so he can break the impasse in one fell swoop..."

"Isn't Envoy Yan taking things for granted?"

The thin man spoke slowly, but although he said that, his expression was completely relaxed, and it was obvious that he did not dare to take any risks.

Seeing the coming of the Demonic Tribulation, he was reluctant to die here...

Just as the three of them were hiding outside the formation, occasionally stepping forward to throw a few tricks to interfere with Tianxiao and others, Yan Xinjue's eyes suddenly flashed, and then his face suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but become solemn and serious.

The thin man noticed something and asked quickly, "Envoy Yan, is there something wrong?"

Yan Xinjue replied in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Luo has already retreated, and Chen Mu is on his way. Chief Han has ordered us to fight quickly and decisively. We should try our best to see if we can kill some of the famous people among them..."

"what?"

The other two were stunned and said in disbelief, "Didn't Chief Envoy Han say that Fellow Daoist Luo was as strong as him? How could he be defeated so quickly?"

"Could it be that Chen Mu's strength is really better than that of the Shoulder Chief?!"

Yan Xinjue sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to discuss these things. Since the chief envoy has given the order, we cannot just be perfunctory."

He thought for a moment, then looked at the thin man and said, "Envoy Wu, you are the most powerful person here. I wonder if you have any means to kill someone from the Dao Palace?"

The thin man smiled complacently when he heard this, but just as he was about to speak, he immediately stopped himself, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yan Xinjue sighed secretly and said loudly: "If there is any success, Envoy Wu will account for 70% of the credit."

The Mengzong is different from the Xuanmen Taoist tradition. All resources are not based on your master, but only on your merits.

This move can certainly achieve fair distribution, but it will inevitably make everyone in the alliance focus on profit instead of the overall situation.

Seeing Yan Xinjue's promise, the thin man laughed and said, "If I kill Taoist Tianxiao head-on, I won't be able to do it even if I die. But if I just kill one person, I am quite confident."

Having said that, he no longer kept the suspense. He waved his sleeve and a cloud of smoke flew out, which turned into a long-necked jade pot in front of him.

He stepped forward, opened the lid, pointed inside, and said with a smile, "Whether you can succeed or not depends on this thing."

"Oh?"

Yan Xinjue and the other man looked over quickly, only to see that the area was filled with green locusts the size of beans, lying motionless and densely packed, forming a pile that formed a whole pot.

"This is……"

The thin man smiled and said, "Before joining the Alliance Sect, Wu was a bug cultivator."

There are strength cultivators, sword cultivators, and magic cultivators in the world. Insect cultivators are also one of the great ways, but compared to the first three, there are far fewer people who can inherit this way.

“I haven’t noticed…”

Yan Xinjue was surprised and asked, "Is the thing you were talking about this insect? Judging from its appearance, could it be a green beetle?"

The Green Beetle is a rare insect native to southern Xinjiang. Adults can grow to over a foot long, consuming metal and iron for a living. Its body is incredibly tough, even divine weapons struggle to penetrate its defenses. If used to refine magical weapons, it can enhance the gold properties, making it a rare treasure.

But even so, he couldn't see how this insect would help the battle.

Yan Xinjue looked at the thin man and said, "Could Envoy Wu explain this?"

The thin man waved his hand and smiled, "This is not a green beetle, but a 'Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust'."

"Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust?"

Yan Xinjue and the other man were shocked. After looking at the insect again, they both showed a look of vigilance on their faces.

At this time, the thin man reached into the pot, pinched out a green locust, pointed to a spot, and said, "Everyone, look here."

The two took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a green line on the insect's head, like a green rainbow passing through the sky. If they were not reminded to check it out, they would definitely ignore it.

Yan Xinjue couldn't help but take two steps forward and said with emotion, "So this is the Emerald Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust. I didn't expect that Envoy Wu would be so lucky as to be able to subdue such a spiritual insect."

The Emerald Rainbow Soul-Eating Locust and the Green Beetle look similar, but their rarity and strength are worlds apart.

The latter is at most a precious treasure, while the former is the spiritual object that insect cultivators dream of.

It is said that the Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust has the blood of an ancient celestial demon and loves to devour the essence, blood and spiritual energy of cultivators. Once it sets its sights on a target, it will not stop until it bites the prey to death and sucks it dry.

In the past, there was a Nascent Soul Demon King in the southern border. By chance, a small tribe of Emerald Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locusts appeared in his territory. After he took control of them, he practiced in seclusion for hundreds of years. Once he was born, he was invincible.

In the end, it was because he did not understand the method of controlling and training, and blindly drove them, which led to heavy casualties among the tribe and gradually cut off the bloodline inheritance. Only then did his invincibility subside.

But even so, the Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust's vicious reputation spread throughout the Taiyi Xuanling Realm...

Another emissary frowned and said, "This insect is indeed powerful, but I see it is still a juvenile. What use can it be to you?"

"Eh."

The thin man smiled and shook his head: "Master Yang, your words are wrong. Have you forgotten that Wu is a bug cultivator?"

Having said that, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and muttered something. Inexplicable light flowed from his fingertips into the jade pot.

The next moment, those spiritual locusts began to tremble, and then they grew rapidly, their bodies expanding by a full circle.

Then his whole body became like a branding iron, with a pair of sharp mouthparts extending from the front, and the emerald rainbow patterns on his forehead flickered with light, attracting the inspiration here to slowly approach.

After a while, these insect beasts had become as big as palms, and crackling sounds were heard again. The insect backs exploded one after another, and six transparent wings stretched out from inside, flying into the sky with a buzzing sound.

The thin man took the time to pull out two small bottles and tossed them to Yan Xinjue and the other man, saying bluntly, "When this insect attacks, it will emit a poisonous mist. Take this pill and you will be safe for a while."

After he explained all the taboos again, he urged his magic power, and in an instant, countless locusts flew out of the jade pot and flew towards the top of the formation.

Tianxiao and others were working together to attack the formation, when they suddenly felt that the spiritual power around them was becoming more and more turbulent and roaring. They couldn't help but stop and look up.

But before they saw it, they first heard a buzzing sound in their ears.

After a while, I saw insects flying all over the sky. They were so densely packed that they seemed countless.

Many of them have already broken into the formation, and the friction sounds are enough to make people's scalps numb.

Taoist Tianxiao's expression tightened, and he immediately used the technique of trapping the sky and locking the earth, trying to freeze it. However, when he grabbed and pinched it, he found that it was useless, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"This insect is not afraid of being locked by spiritual power, and cannot be resisted by magic power!"

But just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly heard a scream, echoing in the world.

He quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that it was an elder of the sect, with insects and beasts crawling all over his body, making bursts of teeth-grinding noises.

It was obvious that he was careless and used his magic power to attack, but was caught off guard by the insect beast.

Taoist Tianxiao's face darkened and he quickly flicked his sleeves, sending a stream of water rushing away.

Although this move had some effect, it could not stop the increasing number of insects and beasts.

The screams became weaker and weaker. After making a decision, the elder reluctantly gave up his physical body, and his Nascent Soul jumped out. He did not dare to stay for a moment and rushed to the back of Taoist Tianxiao.

However, in just a few breaths, a Nascent Soul cultivator was devoured without leaving any bones or flesh.

Many insects and beasts were about to follow, but fortunately Taoist Tianxiao reacted quickly and summoned a protective magic treasure, temporarily holding them back...

"Brother Tianxiao, what kind of monster is this?" someone asked in horror.

Taoist Tianxiao's face was grim as he looked at the rainbow-like insect beasts and whispered, "I'm afraid it's the legendary 'Emerald Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust'."

Everyone stared, thinking to themselves, "It's this insect... No wonder it can't be controlled by spiritual energy."

"Hasn't this insect been extinct for a long time? Why did it appear here, in the hands of that demon cultivator?"

"Elder Qian's body has been devoured. Senior Brother Tianxiao, I think we should retreat back to the vicinity of the demon cave."

"Retreat? If we retreat now, there will be no chance of suppressing the demon cave."

"That's right, Senior Brother Tianxiao, these are just some insect beasts. I don't believe they have no weaknesses. So lead the charge!"

……

Everyone spoke a few words, and there was a rare disagreement.

Just as everyone was making suggestions and Taoist Tianxiao was pondering, there was a sudden bang in the spiritual treasure in front of them, and a crack was actually gnawed out. A large number of insects and beasts drilled in from the hole and rushed towards everyone in all directions.

In an instant, those who suggested avoiding the sharp edge or those who risked their lives to fight were all caught up in the insect swarm...

Taoist Tianxiao was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He raised his finger and a hint of red shot out, transforming into thousands of blazing red lights. The upper ends spread out and the lower ends closed together, like a red lotus, wantonly scattering all kinds of fireworks.

The next moment, countless insects and beasts exploded and fell like rain. In just this moment, no less than a thousand of them died.

Taoist Tianxiao nodded secretly. The Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust was not afraid of spiritual energy, but it was not immune to Taoist magic, especially some Taoist magic with astonishing lethality.

However, the number of insects and beasts here is too astonishing, and a rough estimate is that there are at least 100,000.

With so many people, how long will it take them to kill?
Moreover, he was the one with the highest cultivation level in the field. If it were the other ordinary elders, they would often fail to control the insects and beasts in front of them, but instead make them even more crazy.

But within a hundred breaths, several figures fell from the clouds one after another, bringing with them thousands of insects and beasts.

Taoist Tianxiao's face was extremely heavy. If he persisted any longer, it wouldn't matter to him, but most of his fellow disciples would be killed or injured.

But if you really choose to withdraw...

Could it be that this time we can only sit back and watch the demon cultivator succeed?

Just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard a strange sound from the sky, like a thunderclap breaking through the air from a great distance.

When the people here heard this, they were shocked and looked in the direction of the sound.

In a moment, there was a loud bang above the sky, and the clouds suddenly exploded, rolling and tumbling for dozens of miles, and then a dazzling water flower broke through the dome and fell from the sky in an instant!
