Chapter 942: Insect Metamorphosis into Armor

shimmering ice crystals suspended in the air, forming a breathtaking spectacle. Even the waves that soared into the sky froze solid and hung suspended in mid-air.That Ice Fox leaped through the void,...Such an amazing defense, I wonder how many sword qi it can withstand. Lu Xiaoteng extended his left palm, a circular sword enveloped in a transparent light shield.

That light shield was like countless bubbles rising, gradually splitting into streaks of sword energy. Since he had reached the Nascent Soul stage, this sword embryo was increasingly similar to the ethereal sword fetus he had encountered in the Misty Hall before. Of course, its power was still vastly different. Firstly, it was crafted using Void-Concealing Sword Stone to forge the sword bead, and then further refined into a sword embryo with the Netherbone Sword Orchid.

Only when forged together will they become the sword embryo, perhaps only then will there be the aura of that ethereal sword embryo.

Lu XiaTian's mind moved slightly, his sword qi splitting into five streams. Each stream, like a river, shot towards the five black worms.

Five black centipedes seemed to sense a grave crisis. They ferociously spat out a mass of black saliva, striking the surging, ethereal sword energy.

The saliva of the insect seemed to possess extreme corrosiveness, the sword qi vanishing rapidly upon contact. However, the saliva was also diminishing quickly, vanishing into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"No wonder you, junior brother, are collecting Kongming Sword Stones and Niegu Sword Orchid. It turns out you want to refine such a powerful flying sword. If he were given enough time, after becoming a celestial cultivator, even the senior brother might not be his opponent. But after all, he is too young, his ambition is too high, it's a pity... " Qianqing Old Demon shook his head and sighed, seeming to be lamenting for Lu Xiaoteng's recklessness.

Chen He Nian's face turned ashen. This fellow from the Southern Wasteland was truly being too much.

"Insect Transformation!" Jie Wuyu's expression changed, and he roared.

Five rings exploded with a deafening roar, shattering into countless fragments that clung to the five insects. A layer of jet-black, shiny armor formed on their surfaces.

At the same time, Jie Wuyu struck the top of Tian Ling Gai's head. A brilliant blue light flashed on his forehead, highlighting his already sinister expression even more eerily.

The azure Abomination King rose into the air, and with a *poof*, a pair of thin wings unfolded on its back. The Ghastly Wings fluttered, sending out a wave of pale blue smoke toward Lu Xia Tian.

Lu Xia Tian reached out with his hand and struck a palm, his powerful force stirring up a hurricane on the ground. However, the pale blue smoke was unaffected by the hurricane, remaining dispersed even in the wind.

"After each Gu worm ascends to the position of Gu King, it will cultivate a unique skill based on its master's cultivation. This blue Gu mist should be a rare domain of the Gu King. Right now, Jie Sheng Gu King wants to expand his own domain and envelop Lu Xia Tian. Within this domain, even a cultivator at the mid-Yuan Ying stage would find it extremely difficult to defeat Jie Sheng Gu King."

Ji Qian Shui's face was solemn. He said, "Not long after I formed my Nascent Soul, I went to the Southern Desolation to refine a rare elixir and encountered a formidable Yuan Ying-level Gu master. Although the Gu King he raised differed from this Jie Sheng Gu King, their techniques were extremely similar. If it weren't for the few Lei Yuan Bao Zhu in my hand, I probably wouldn't have escaped."

As the pale blue mist drifted closer, Lu Xiaoteng instinctively tried to back away. However, five more vortexes appeared behind the five crystal black centipedes, each one emanating a powerful suction force. The dense sword qi clanged against the black centipedes' crystal black armor, but it dissipated one after another. Nevertheless, upon closer inspection, Lu Xiaoteng noticed faint traces on the armor. Given enough time, he could still break through their defenses. But the calamity-born Gu King wouldn't give him that chance.

Indiscriminate attacks couldn't inflict much damage on these black centipedes. Just as Lu Xiaoteng was about to act, he was suddenly startled. The King of Robing Gu, which had been still swirling blue mist, vanished without a trace.

A sudden gust of wind swirled, and the Gu King, born from calamity, flew silently from the side of the blue mist to near Lu Xia Tian's location, without any warning.

Jie Wuya let out a satisfied laugh. This was one of the abilities his natal Gu, Jin Jie, had gained after becoming a Gu King—within its domain, even an inch could be traversed with thought. With a mere movement of his mind, he could send his life-linked Jin Jie Gu King to any corner within the blue mist, at a speed so fast that even a casual Yuan Ying cultivator would barely have time to react.

The King of Bandit Worms opened its mouth wide again, spitting out a mouthful of blue mist. At the same time, a large amount of substance resembling blue sand was spewed out from inside. The sand grains quickly shattered, giving birth to a pair of tiny thin wings, like miniature mosquitoes, swarming densely. Propelled by the blue mist emanating from the King of Bandit Worms, they approached Lu Xia Tian at an alarming speed.

Lu Xia Tian stretched out his hand, a streak of light flew in from the sky. The streak of light floated and was agile, like a transparent meteor falling from the heavens, suddenly enlarging.

"Such a fast sword, such an ethereal sword qi!" Xiao Tiannan and Ji Qian Shui, the two great cultivators, were shaken.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chen He Nian suddenly remembered when he had called out Lu Xiao Tian, that astonishing sword strike. By the time he reacted, the streak of light had already struck the head of the Bandit King Gu.

The King of Venomous Worms screamed in agony, a large hole appearing on his head. Jie Wuyaya was struck dumb, blood gushing from his mouth as his eyes were filled with an unspeakable horror. This sword strike was terrifyingly powerful; if not for the King of Venomous Worms and himself reaching a state of life-sharing, regardless of whether it was him or the King of Venomous Worms, even if they received a fatal blow, as long as both sides weren't injured simultaneously, even the most severe injury wouldn't have resulted in his instant death.

Before the battle at Moonlit City, Luo Qian's attack could have easily killed Jie Wuyá. However, because Jie Wuyá's Life-Sharing Gu absorbed a considerable portion of the attack, he managed to survive.

A single trick, and one can conquer all. Even the King of Gu worms is now safe from harm.

However, the newly promoted Gu King was dealt such a heavy blow. If he wasn't careful, his unstable realm could easily fall back to its original state.

“Die!” Jie Wuwaya and the venomous king, Ben Ming Gu Wang Yi Rong, shared the same fate—one's gain was the other’s loss. Severely wounded by the attack, Jie Wuwaya hated Lu Xiaoteng even more intensely. The countless tiny larvae, hatched with astonishing speed and buzzing like mosquitoes, swarmed towards Lu Xiaoteng. Meanwhile, the five black venomous beasts transformed from his fa ring created five swirling vortexes, binding Lu Xiaoteng tightly, leaving him utterly unable to escape.

As long as one of those child gu worms parasitized Lu Xiaotiān's body, it would be enough to make him lose his composure. Because if not dealt with immediately, the child gu worm could quickly burrow into Lu Xiaotiān's body. At that time, whether he lived or died would only be a matter of thought for him. Within a radius of a hundred miles, through the mother gu worm, Lu Xiaotiān's life and death could be easily controlled.

"Just now that sword was indeed extraordinary. If the damage from the Bandit King Gu hadn't been partially transferred to Dao Friend, I'm afraid the Gu King would have been instantly slain by Lu Xia Tian's sword. However, it can only end here. Even with more sword qi, it wouldn't be possible to kill all these child gu." Ancestor Jie Bing said with fear in his voice. If he were to give Lu Xia Tian more time to grow, I'm afraid even himself would only be able to harden and block, unable to directly avoid that sword. "opportunity to face him later or when that might be,It's always a good idea to learn more about your opponent."It's you again, isn't it After making the Heart Demon of Erosion falter, you still have t...
