Chapter 884 - Chapter 884 Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 881 Corpse of the Demon Insect Huge Centipede
Chapter 884: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 881 Corpse of the Demon Insect Huge Centipede Chapter 884: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 881 Corpse of the Demon Insect Huge Centipede In a sealed chamber that was impervious to light and air, there stood a green stone altar about ten feet high, surrounded by over a dozen formation flags of various colors.
Together, they formed a temporary spell formation that flickered with faint spiritual light.
On the altar, there was an emerald green alm bowl that resembled an array plate, emanating bursts of green Qi.
Within it, a baby with a blurred body sat cross-legged, as if it were cultivating some cultivation technique by absorbing and exhaling clouds.
In each corner of the chamber, an elder with white hair held a green spell flag and sat cross-legged.
All these flags pointed towards the central alm bowl, emitting streams of thin green mist from their tips, which slowly drifted towards the bowl.
This eerie scene was like a painting, silent and still.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the faces of the four elders showed signs of exhaustion.
The figure of the baby in the green mist seemed to become a bit clearer after this period of time.
“That will be all for today.
I truly appreciate the effort of the three Fellow Daoists.
In a few more days, Junior Brother Gui should be able to recover on his own.
I am deeply grateful,” an elder with red hair who sat in the northwest corner of the chamber said as he stood up, gathered his spell flag, and performed a fist-and-palm salute to the other three in thanks.
“Hehe!

Brother Hui, there’s no need for such formalities.
We have known Immortal Master Gui for a long time.
Offering a bit of help is only right and proper,” the three elders also retracted their spell flags, and a beardless, pale-faced elder quickly returned the salute and spoke.
“Regardless, we will remember this favor deeply, both my Junior Brother and I,” the first elder to stand said, glancing at the baby still sitting and cultivating within the mist, his words filled with sincerity.
“Haha, Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be so courteous!” another elder said with a smile.
“By the way, the four of us have been in this chamber aiding Immortal Master Gui in repairing his Nascent Soul.
We have no news of that Foreign Tribesman.
It’s unbelievable that someone in this world could control tens of thousands of Gold Devouring Beetles; it’s truly beyond comprehension.
We all know how difficult it is for Gold Devouring Beetles to lay eggs.
I arrived later and did not participate in the battle against that Foreign Tribesman.
Was he really so terrifying that three Nascent Soul Immortal Masters perished?” the red-haired elder asked with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, the other three elders glanced at each other, their faces showing traces of fear.
“That man’s terror cannot simply be described.
Aside from controlling Gold Devouring Beetles, he could also cast a purple flame and release golden lightning.
The first batch of Immortal Masters who encountered him suffered two casualties and one death right at the outset, largely due to those two techniques.
The golden lightning could trap a Cultivator’s Nascent Soul, and the purple flame could easily obliterate it.
Other Immortal Masters who came later were more cautious, but still, two could not withstand his attacks and were killed,” the pale-faced elder said, sighing.
“Moreover, the magic tools wielded by this Foreign Tribesman were also very powerful-a set of strange, dual-colored flying swords, golden and azure, numbering sixty or seventy, extremely sharp.
The treasures of several Fellow Daoists were split in two upon contact with these flying swords.
Even more bizarre, he had a pair of wings-like magical treasures on his back, which allowed him to perform lightning escape techniques without needing to chant any spell incantations.
We couldn’t even begin to track his movements.
Not to make a joke at our own expense, but he managed to put us, six or seven masters of about the same level as myself, into such a dire situation that we were in sweat and in grave danger.
We even considered retreating temporarily.
Later, thanks to Great Immortal Master Hu arriving in time and unexpectedly using the ‘Great Five Elements Immortal Catching Hand,’ we were able to heavily injure him.
But even with serious injuries, that Foreign Tribesman suddenly turned into a Bloodshadow and disappeared into the encirclement without a trace.
We couldn’t find him even with our Divine Sense.
Only then were we told by the Great Immortal Master that the man was hundreds of miles away, and by then it was too late to pursue him,” a slightly plump elder said half in explanation, half in reminiscence, with a trace of horror still visible on his face.
“Could this Foreign Tribesman be one of the renowned sect masters at the peak of ninth layer from the Great Jin?
No wonder Junior Brother Gui, even with the ‘Six Souls Divided Spirit Technique,’ ended up in such a state,” the red-haired elder said, his face turning a bit pale after hearing this account.
“Brother Gui, there’s no need to worry.
You know how powerful the ‘Great Five Elements Immortal Catching Hand’ is.
Even if that person has escaped, he must have lost at least half of his cultivation power.
He shouldn’t be a threat now!
Additionally, the Endless Sky Saintess is accompanying the guests from the Great Jin to a nearby Heaventide Sanctuary for a Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
If that person is indeed a cultivator from the Great Jin, with such unique Divine Skills, those guests should know of him.
Knowing the details of the opponent will make dealing with him easier.
Even if he is from one of the large sects of the Great Jin, for killing so many of our higher-level masters, our great Immortal Masters will not let it go easily.
Besides, we must investigate how he managed to breed so many Gold Devouring Beetles,” the pale-faced elder said bitterly.
It seemed that in his confrontation with Han Li, this elder had also suffered no small setback.
“Let’s hope so.
But luckily, his Gold Devouring Beetles were immature; otherwise, if he released these tens of thousands, there wouldn’t be any need for him to use any Divine Skills.
Even if the four great Immortal Masters were to gather, we would have to step back three feet,” the red-haired elder muttered.
Upon hearing this, the other elders exchanged glances, only able to force a bitter smile.
The power of mature Gold Devouring Beetles was well known to these masters from the Soaring Tribes.
As they were pondering this, an unexpected event occurred.
The baby sitting cross-legged in the green mist suddenly let out a piercing scream and began to roll around, clutching its head as if in unbearable pain.
Its form also began to disintegrate, flickering in and out of clarity.
“No good.
Fellow Daoists, take action quickly,” the red-haired elder exclaimed with a shock, immediately yelling out loud.
The other three elders, realizing the seriousness of the situation, hurriedly raised their spell flags again.
With a prompt stimulation of incantations, four streams of green mist sprayed back into the middle of the chamber.
Instantly, the thick green mist enveloped the writhing baby, ceaselessly repairing its disintegrating Nascent Soul.
As time passed, with the four elders’ full efforts, the cries from within the mist diminished.
After a while, the baby finally managed to sit cross-legged again, absorbing the surrounding green mist with all its might.
After an unknown period, a thin, intermittent voice emanated from within the mist.
“Many thanks to the Fellow Daoists for your great assistance, now…
there’s no trouble left…
you may all cease your efforts.” Upon hearing this, the four elders let out a huge sigh of relief.
To be honest, if the situation had lasted any longer, they could certainly have persevered, but damage to their Qi was definitely unavoidable.
Thereupon, the four of them ceased their cultivation techniques.
“Brother Gui, what exactly happened just now?
The Nascent Soul that was originally solidified has once again dissipated.
This is extremely dangerous.” The white-faced elder couldn’t help but ask.
“Fellow Daoists, rest assured.
This won’t happen again in the future.
Just now, it was…
the Gold Devouring Bugs connected to my Primordial Spirit…
were eradicated.
My…
Divine Sense was somewhat influenced,” the baby-faced one said through gritted teeth.
“What, the Gold Devouring Bugs were eradicated?
How did he manage that?
Mature Gold Devouring Bugs are nearly indestructible existences in this realm.
How could they be easily eradicated by someone?” The red-haired elder exclaimed in shock.
“There’s nothing strange about that, without Brother Gui personally commanding the bugs.
Even if the Gold Devouring Bugs are powerful, there are always ways to break them.
After all, no matter how indestructible their bodies, there are some peak-level devilish secret techniques that can directly attack the soul and spirit.
There’s no need to destroy the bodies of the bugs.” The white-faced elder pondered for a moment before saying so.
“Oh.
If that’s the case, this person must be a Devil Dao cultivator.
But during our previous confrontation, most of the Divine Skills he used didn’t seem much like devilish arts?” The last gaunt elder spoke hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, the chamber fell into silence, and the elders exchanged glances.
…
Meanwhile, in a distant place, Han Li let out a big breath within the carriage, his heart suddenly feeling relieved.
After half a month of non-stop spellcasting, he had finally extracted the Primordial Spirit of the mature Gold Devouring Beetle from its body and absorbed it into the Yin Sifting Banner.
During this period, the people from the Heron Branch hadn’t disturbed him even once, which was somewhat surprising to Han Li, and he was naturally pleased by this.
Of course, he didn’t know that at the moment he extracted the Primordial Spirit, he nearly eradicated the very culprit who had caused him so much trouble.
With a raise of his hand towards the black Demonic Qi in the void, a “whoosh” sound rang out as a small black flag shot out from within the Qi, which he grasped in his hand.
The remaining dark mist then rolled and transformed into a black-green second Nascent Soul, still clutching a golden, radiant, giant insect.
Beneath the Nascent Soul, the cover and Daoist paper talisman of the jade box had long since vanished, leaving the box empty.
Han Li toyed with the small flag in his hand, glancing over the golden bug.
This bug was half a foot long with a pair of long, exposed fangs, vicious and ferocious in appearance.
It was the mature form of the Gold Devouring Beetles, enlarged several times.
It was actually a mature Gold Devouring Beetle!
However, this bug no longer had a Primordial Spirit, and was utterly lifeless.
After pondering for a moment, Han Li unfurled the Yin Sifting Banner and a fist-sized black-green light orb shot out, circling around before gently landing in front of Han Li.
Within the soft green light, an insect shadow mimicked the mature Gold Devouring Beetle, floating within it.
Only, the insect was much smaller, its body pitch black, and its eyes blood-red.
“Go.”
With a light tap of his finger, the Gold Devouring Beetle’s Primordial Spirit transformed into a black streak and shot out, instantly disappearing as it entered its original body.
The giant gold beetle immediately emitted a bloody red light from its eyes and flapped its wings, start to fly erratically around the second Nascent Soul.
“Indeed, just as I expected.
If I refine this bug into a demon corpse, it should be possible.
Although its power has decreased quite a bit compared to the original, it’s still extremely formidable.
However, if I truly wish to control it as I desire, it seems that I will also need to refine the bug’s body with Demonic Qi.” Han Li murmured to himself, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
