"Have you found out which two of the Eight Sons of Samsara did it?" Xuanyuan Jie's eyes twitched and he asked.
"It's Yan Peck and Xuan Yu. They didn't hide their identity and even tore down the Ancestral Hall of Immortal Tong Qiu's sect. I think they are not afraid of the Heavenly Court's revenge." The man continued to answer.
"Find out where they are. These two must die. I want to use their Divine Souls to make figurines." Xuanyuan Jie loosened his grip and placed his hands behind his back.
The people below were about to respond when they saw Xuanyuan Jie's expression suddenly change. Their hearts were in their throats.
"Good, good, good … I didn't expect that after so many years, you would actually be able to reach this step again. This time, I want to see if you have the opportunity to escape again." Xuanyuan Jie said the word "good" three times in a row, and then suddenly laughed loudly.
The people did not know what was going on and did not dare to speak. They could only stand there with their mouths closed.
"Lu Qingshan, Zhao Yao, I'll leave the matter of tracking down Yan Peck and Xuan Yu to you two. The rest of you, follow me …" Xuanyuan Jie suddenly shouted.
"Yes, sir." The people immediately replied.
… …
Dragon Pool Celestial Domain, Green Yuan Continent.
A clear, cloudless sky faced the vast, boundless blue waters below, reflecting each other's light.
Between the sea and the sky, two streaks of light flew past each other, leaving a long golden trail in the void, and a strong spatial fluctuation rippled out.
In the light, there were two Young men and women. The man was tall, with thin eyes and thick eyebrows. His nose was not too high, but his face was covered with a full beard. The woman was dressed in a blue palace dress and looked gentle and charming.
"Wan 'er, when we arrive at the Green Yuan Continent, you will return to the Flower Branch Cave Heaven first. I will enter the Heaven Tower alone and go to the Central Mainland Celestial Domain." The bearded man said to the woman beside him.
The woman was none other than Nangong Wan, and the bearded man was naturally Han Li.
"I know. I'm just a little worried. Won't you be discovered and cause a commotion by openly using the Teleportation Formation of the Heavenly Court to head to the Central Mainland Immortal Domain?" Nangong Wan asked with a frown.
"It doesn't matter. I have the Bodhi Token, so they'll only treat me as an honored guest of the Heavenly Court and won't investigate further.
Moreover, they would never have thought that I would dare to do this. "Han Li shook his head and said.
"I'm relieved to hear that," Nangong Wan nodded.
As the two of them spoke, they could already see the black coastline of the Green Abyss Continent several thousand kilometers away.
Right at this moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly spread out from the front.
With a thought, Han Li stopped and pulled Nangong Wan behind him. Then, he looked ahead with rapt attention.
In the sky above the coastline, a dark mass of light flashed, and there were waves of chaotic insect cries constantly ringing out.
Han Li frowned, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
However, after a while, the black light had already flown several hundred kilometers away. Its appearance became clearer, and it sent chills down one's spine at a glance.
The area within a radius of several hundred kilometers was densely packed with all types of spirit insects. The largest among them were several thousand feet in size and bore a striking resemblance to Rhinoceros Beetles, while the smallest were only two to three inches in size and bore the appearance of worms.
If it was only a single swarm of insects, it would not be strange. However, there were more than a few million spirit insects mixed together, and they covered the sky and covered the earth. This was very problematic.
"Something's not right …" Han Li frowned as he looked at the approaching insect tide.
"It's an insect tide. There are also insect tides in the Spiritual Realm, but they're not as large as this … What do you think is wrong?" Nangong Wan asked.
"An insect tide usually consists of spirit insects of the same race gathering to devour and destroy on a large scale.
But in this insect tide, there are many kinds of spirit insects, and there are some that are natural enemies.
For example, the Star-patterned Rhinoceros Beetle and the Flameless Stemborer Beetle are supposed to fight to the death when they meet, and they won't stop until they devour each other, but they can walk side by side here instead of fighting each other. This is very strange, "Han Li said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly. The insect tide suddenly split to the left and right, and a golden beetle that was hundreds of meters long rushed out from the center, exuding a powerful aura.
This insect was none other than a Golden Devouring Immortal whose cultivation level was close to the peak of Primordial Unity.
"Wan 'er, stay here and wait for me," Han Li said to Nangong Wan with a frown.
Before Nangong Wan could respond, Han Li's figure flashed and disappeared from where he was.
The next moment, he appeared directly in front of the insect tide army, and he was about to be drowned by the endless spirit insects.
However, a golden light suddenly flashed around him, and a layer of golden domain instantly expanded, enveloping an area of tens of thousands of miles. A golden wheel, the Gao Sheng, flew into the sky and sprinkled thousands of golden rays.
The moment the tide-like spirit insects were enveloped by the Time Spirit Domain, they all froze in the void. Some of them were still shrouded in spiritual light, and some were still fluttering their wings, but all of them seemed to be stiff and did not move at all.
Even the water below stopped in an instant, and the ripples on the water froze in place.
Han Li walked into the insect tide and flashed a few times among the densely packed spirit insects before he came in front of the Golden Devouring Immortal.
He pointed a finger at the center of his brows, and a crystal light immediately shot out and entered the head of the Golden Devouring Immortal before it disappeared.
After Han Li closed his eyes to investigate for a moment, he suddenly raised his brows and opened his eyes. He said, "She actually didn't tell me about such a big matter. What a joke …"
Then, he flashed and returned to Nangong Wan's side.
"What happened?" Nangong Wan asked with concern.
"Judging by the situation, Golden Child is probably going to break through and advance. These spirit insects are all protecting her," said Han Li with a frown.
"Advance … Is she already at the late-stage of the Grand Luo Realm?" Nangong Wan asked in surprise.
Han Li shook his head and said, "Not the late-stage of the Grand Luo Realm. She's going to fuse the Dao again and advance into the Dao Ancestor Realm."
"What …" Nangong Wan's expression changed slightly as she said in disbelief.
"Golden Child's Law of Devouring is an innate ability, so her cultivation is different from ordinary people. Moreover, she's the incarnation of the Dao Ancestor Realm. She's just devouring for generations to reform, so she doesn't need to sever the three corpses, and her speed can't be judged by common sense," explained Han Li as he looked at the still insect tide.
"Isn't that a good thing? Why do you look so worried?" asked Nangong Wan.
"Look at this mighty insect tide. I'm afraid it's not the only one in the Longyuan Celestial Domain. It's very likely that such a scene is happening in many places in the other Celestial Domains.
It's hard to guarantee that the people of the Heavenly Court won't notice such a great commotion, "said Han Li as he pondered.
"If that's the case, it's indeed quite risky. What do you intend to do?" Nangong Wan understood when she heard that.
"I have to help her and protect her," said Han Li as he narrowed his eyes.
"You should go, but I'm afraid you don't know where she is now, right?" Nangong Wan nodded and asked again.
"That's easy. I just need to follow the insect tide," said Han Li as he looked at the dense insect tide in the distance.
"You're really smart.
Speaking of which, with such a mighty insect tide protecting her, I'm sure it'll be even more spectacular when she advances, "said Nangong Wan with anticipation as she covered her mouth and chuckled.
"There's no time to lose. Let's go now."
After saying that, Han Li held Nangong Wan's hand and landed on the back of the Golden Devourer in a flash.
Then, he waved his hand to remove the Time Spiritual Domain. The flow of time in the surrounding void immediately resumed. The insect tide army whizzed past and flew towards the other end of the sea.
…
Somewhere in the outer domain.
In an extremely deep and pure void, there were bursts of spatial storms sweeping past everywhere. Occasionally, they collided with each other and emitted bursts of dazzling aurora-like light.
At the edge of a huge spatial storm, there was an even larger black cloud floating. It was expanding and contracting like a living thing. The cloud inside was tumbling, and it lit up like a lighthouse, shining in all directions.
This huge black cloud was the condensation of the Extraterrestrial Demon. At this moment, it was stuck closely to the spatial storm and refused to move forward at all.
In the endless void hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, there was a huge golden beetle that was tens of thousands of meters in size floating. It emitted a flame-like golden light all over its body. It surged and surged fiercely, and there were bursts of extremely powerful aura coming from it.
If there were meteorites from the outer domain, even if they were tens of thousands of kilometers away, they would be affected by this aura and instantly turn into ashes.
At the same time, in the void around the golden beetle, large and small spatial cracks could be seen everywhere. They were like skylights in a pitch-black house.
Among them, the small ones were hundreds of meters in size, and the large ones were tens of thousands of meters in size. What they faced were the countless regions of the entire Immortal Domain.
In those spatial cracks, there were countless spirit insects passing through them and heading towards the outer domain.
However, the outer domain was different from other places. The spatial pressure there was extraordinary. Most of the spirit insects exploded the moment they passed through the cracks and turned into ashes.
But even so, there were still countless spiritual insects that charged in without fear of death.
Among these spirit insects, there was no lack of talented ones that were able to resist the spatial pressure. They rushed over to the side of the massive golden beetle and were protected by its golden light, allowing them to survive.
There were also many Gold Devouring Beetles that flew into the golden light and were melted by it. All of their power was devoured by the golden beetle's body.
As more and more spirit insects entered the outer realm, the remaining insect swarm in the golden light around the golden beetle also became larger and larger. At this moment, it was like a lonely city reading.
At this moment, the golden beetle was like a belt that wrapped around its body.
