Chapter 5119 Bone-Eating Demonic Insects
The original pale white color instantly turned into a deep, cold black.
No, that's not a color change.
Those were countless ferocious beetles, each only the size of a fist, pitch black, with sharp mouthparts and six compound eyes, emerging from the dense holes inside their skeletons!
Their sheer number was like a black tide, instantly covering the entire skeleton, and they continued to pour out, as if the skeleton of Wanli had been completely hollowed out and turned into a giant insect nest.
"Squeaky-"
The piercing chirping of insects coalesced into a tangible sonic storm, causing the divine ship's shields to shake violently and flash with light.
"Bone-Eating Demon Worms! It's Bone-Eating Demon Worms!"
Jiuzhen's expression suddenly changed, and his longsword was instantly drawn, his sword intent chilling. "These insects specialize in parasitizing the corpses of powerful divine beasts. Their teeth are incredibly sharp, capable of biting even the most precious artifacts! Moreover, once they are disturbed, they will fight to the death until they have devoured their target completely!"
"Oh my god! Help! We've disturbed a brood of insects!"
Qian Duoduo was so frightened that his drill magic weapon was instantly bitten into scrap metal by several demonic insects that rushed in front.
He screamed and scrambled toward the control room of the divine ship, moving even faster than when he was fleeing for his life.
But the swarm was moving too fast.
The black swarm of insects transformed into countless black arrows, raining down on the divine ship, so dense that they obscured the starlight.
Jiuzhen's eyes turned cold, and she made the first move.
"Sword transforms into reincarnation!"
He brandished his longsword, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that instantly split into ten thousand sharp sword beams, raining down on the swarm of insects like a storm of swords. Each sword beam precisely pierced the mouthparts of a demonic insect.
"Puff puff!"
The first wave of demonic insects was shredded by the sword energy, and the green insect blood exploded in the void, emitting a nauseating stench and corrosive smoke.
But there were just too many insects—tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of millions!
One wave is wiped out, but there are endless more to come. Moreover, these demonic insects have shells as hard as iron, making it difficult for ordinary sword energy to completely kill them.
"We can't fight them head-on! We'll be worn down! With that many, even a god would be reduced to bones!"
"Senior sister, cover me!"
Luo Yunsheng's entire body erupted with divine light, and the Dao patterns of immortal laws flowed. He made a move in an instant, and endless streams of law light intertwined to block countless demonic insects, instantly relieving the pressure on Jiuzhen.
Jiuzhen's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.
Su Bai's senior sister is even stronger than he thought.
This aura is even stronger than that of the Zhou family's half-step immortal experts!
"Celestial Eye of Destiny, activate!"
Luo Yunyou also directly activated her Heavenly Eye of Fate to guide Su Bai and the others.
Su Bai also directly took control of the divine ship.
His eyes blazed with divine light, and the power of the nine-layered Dao Tower was applied to the divine ship, pushing the defensive formation to its limit.
"Hold on tight!"
He shouted loudly, and instead of retreating, he steered the divine ship towards the huge gap in the ribcage deep within the Kunpeng skeleton!
"My benefactor, are you crazy?! That's a bug nest! We've walked right into a trap!" Qian Duoduo screamed, clinging to the pillar, his face turning green with fright.
"Shut up!"
Su Bai's eyes were frighteningly calm.
He observed that the swarm of insects was emerging from the surface of the skeleton, while the huge cavity inside the skeleton contained a relatively spacious passage.
Moreover, only by utilizing the complex structure of the Kunpeng skeleton can one shake off these demonic insects that accelerate at extremely high speeds in a straight line.
"Su Bai did the right thing; this is where life truly lies!"
Luo Yunyou spoke in a deep voice.
"call out!"
The "Dawn" divine ship transformed into a dark golden streak, weaving and tumbling through the massive rib gaps at an almost impossible angle.
"Squeak!"
Countless demonic insects crashed into the divine ship's shields, creating a crackling sound like a torrential downpour hitting banana leaves.
The divine light shield flashed wildly, its energy rapidly depleting. Qian Duoduo reluctantly stuffed handfuls of source crystals into the core of the formation.
Turn left, turn right, accelerate, and stop suddenly!
The divine ship, like a nimble fish, traversed the vast forest of bones.
Each turn was a close call, narrowly avoiding the dense swarms of insects.
Each acceleration left the pursuers behind them a considerable distance behind.
Finally, after passing through the eye sockets of Kunpeng's enormous skull, a vast starry sky appeared ahead, a realm deeper within the Boundary Sea.
"rush out!"
Su Bai roared and pushed the power to its limit.
"boom!"
The divine ship spewed out a long, eerie blue tail of flame, instantly breaking out of the swarm's encirclement and leaving the overwhelming black tide behind.
Only after flying millions of miles and becoming certain that the swarm had left their territory and was no longer pursuing them did the group collapse.
Qian Duoduo, still shaken, quickly apologized, "Everyone, I'm so sorry! I'll never do it again! I'll never do it again!!"
Su Bai gave him a cold look.
"This loss will be deducted from your compensation!"
Qian Duoduo looked pained, but could only nod.
After all, he was in the wrong this time.
At this moment, Su Bai turned around and glanced at the huge white skeleton that was gradually disappearing into the distance, a trace of lingering fear flashing in his eyes.
This Heavenly Realm Sea is indeed fraught with danger at every turn. Even a dead corpse harbors a crisis powerful enough to annihilate a god.
"Let's take a break and move on." Su Bai took a deep breath, his gaze becoming even more profound. "I have a feeling we're not far from our goal."
Having escaped the crisis of the Bone-Eating Demon Worms, the divine ship "Dawn" continued its journey towards the core of the Boundary Sea.
The deeper you go, the less chaotic the temporal turbulence becomes; in its place comes a suffocating stillness and oppression.
The laws here are no longer violent, but broken and silent. Although Su Bai and the Dragon Clan had entered the Heavenly Court Sea before, they were all on the edge. Where had they ever gone so deep?
The fragments of continental plates floating in the void are growing larger and larger, some even comparable to small planets.
These fragments are no longer bare rocks, but bear obvious traces of civilization.
Broken, massive stone pillars, collapsed, magnificent palaces, shattered white jade plazas...
Amidst these ruins, vast expanses of dried, dark red bloodstains are a shocking sight. This divine blood, having endured for millions of years, still exudes a chilling aura, as if recounting the tragedy of that time.
The air seemed to echo with faint sounds of fighting, war drums, clashing weapons, and... desperate roars.
"This... is the true heart of the battlefield."
Standing at the bow of the boat, Su Bai felt a sense of desolation wash over him, and a strange heaviness settled in his heart.
Jiuzhen also fell silent, his heart trembling with shock, as if he could sense the countless terrifying wills and powers remaining in this place.
