470: The progenitor of the worms has escaped!

One year later!

Su Ming returned to the Canglan Realm with Xuanyuan Tianji.

As soon as he set foot on this familiar land, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He raised his vigilance to the maximum, spiritual power surging secretly around him, ready to deal with any sudden situation.

Sure enough, they had only just arrived.

In the sky, a terrifying rift suddenly tore open.

The rift was not an ordinary spatial fault, but was pitch black, as if connected to endless nothingness.

Subsequently, the massive body of the Guichong Ancestor slowly squeezed out of the rift.

Every inch of its skin was covered with eyes, and every compound eye flickered with a faint light.

Its mere presence in the air caused the entire Canglan Realm to change color, and space trembled as if it would collapse at any moment.

The terrifying pressure of the Immortal Emperor Realm heavily weighed on Su Ming and Xuanyuan Tianji's hearts, making it difficult for them even to breathe.

Before coming here, Su Ming actually held a sliver of hope.

He had imagined that if he could rush into the Barren Deathland immediately before the Guichong Ancestor descended, he might be able to avoid a confrontation with the Guichong Ancestor.

However, imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

The descent of the Guichong Ancestor was faster and more direct than he had anticipated.

It seemed to have locked onto their aura long ago, following closely behind.

"Alas!"

Su Ming let out a helpless sigh.

He quickly composed himself and turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Tianji beside him.

"You should go to the Barren Deathland first!"

"I have already told you the location of the Peerless War King."

Hearing this, most of the color instantly drained from Xuanyuan Tianji's face.

She looked at Su Ming in disbelief, her eyes filled with worry.

"Are you crazy?"

"The Guichong Ancestor has already achieved the Immortal Emperor Realm, how can you possibly stop it alone?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Ming raised his hand, interrupting her.

Su Ming's gaze was calm.

"Don't worry, I have a way to escape!"

"Trust me!"

Su Ming did not offer further explanation; at this moment, any extra words seemed pale and powerless.

Xuanyuan Tianji looked at him, struggling intensely in her heart.

She knew the power of the Guichong Ancestor well, and understood that Su Ming's action was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.

But the resolution in Su Ming's eyes made it impossible for her to refuse.

She gritted her teeth and finally chose to trust Su Ming.

She no longer hesitated, gave Su Ming a deep look, and then her figure flashed, rushing resolutely toward the direction of Central Continent.

As soon as Xuanyuan Tianji's figure disappeared, Su Ming retracted his gaze.

He stood rooted to the spot, allowing the pressure of the Guichong Ancestor to bear down on his shoulders.

At this moment, the ground beneath his feet was starting to crack inch by inch, unable to withstand this power.

"Senior, I must trouble you to make a move again."

Su Ming spoke softly from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

After a moment of silence.

An aged but somewhat sharp voice resonated leisurely in the Soul Sea.

"Are you sure?"

"You only have three chances to strike in total. After using this one, you'll only have one last trump card left."

The voice of the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul betrayed no emotion.

Su Ming looked at the Guichong Ancestor in the sky, preparing to launch a fatal blow, and gave a self-mocking smile.

"If my life is about to be gone, what use is saving a trump card?"

"True..."

The Sword Emperor Remnant Soul stopped talking nonsense.

With a thought, the primordial chaos ancient lamp appeared from Su Ming's palm.

The next moment, the aura around Su Ming completely changed.

The vitality that belonged to a young Cultivator quickly faded, replaced by an arrogance and killing intent that had settled over countless ages.

He slowly raised his head, and within his originally clear eyes, thousands of streams of Sword Qi now faintly crisscrossed.

"Sword, come."

He softly uttered two words.

The sound was not loud, yet it instantly shattered the clouds within a hundred miles, and the previously violent winds fell into a deathly silence.

After the Sword Emperor took control of the body.

He casually twisted his neck, producing a series of cracking sounds, then squinted up at the Guichong Ancestor in the sky.

"This Emperor thought it was something extraordinary, but it's just a stinking bug."

The Guichong Ancestor clearly sensed danger, and fierce light erupted from its compound eyes.

Countless slender tentacles pierced the Void Realm like steel needles, heading straight for Su Ming's face.

"Playing with space in front of this Emperor? You don't have the qualifications."

The Sword Emperor snorted coldly, and the primordial chaos ancient lamp in his left hand shone brightly.

Immediately after, he pressed his right fingertips together, forming a Sword Finger, and casually slashed towards the Void Realm.

An unremarkable white light streaked past.

*Pfft!*

The next second!

The black blood of the Guichong Ancestor gushed out, corroding deep pits into the ground below.

"Hiss—!"

The giant insect let out a mournful shriek, its massive body twisting wildly in the air.

The Sword Emperor, having gained the upper hand, was relentless; his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, reappearing above the giant insect's head.

"Why run? Where is that arrogance from earlier?"

His palm faced down, and he pressed fiercely.

The primordial chaos ancient lamp shot out a golden beam of light, instantly engulfing half of the Guichong Ancestor's body.

A burnt smell instantly spread throughout the area.

The Guichong Ancestor was completely stunned; it felt the threat of death.

Suddenly.

Streams of black and purple mist sprayed out from the Guichong Ancestor's body.

When the Sword Emperor came into contact with the mist, his brows furrowed.

"Playing such tricks in front of this Emperor?"

"Break!"

Inside the Soul Sea World, Su Ming widened his eyes upon seeing this scene.

Because in the black and purple mist just now, he sensed the aura of the Weird Insect Spores.

Only at this moment did he understand why Sword Thirteen had been subjected to Possession in the simulator.

However, facing the primordial chaos ancient lamp, these Weird Insect Spores were completely ineffective.

The scene shifted.

Just as the Sword Emperor was about to completely finish off this beast, the Guichong Ancestor suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark red essence blood, and a circle of strange Law fluctuations appeared around its body.

"Heavenly Dao Law..."

"Trying to run?"

The Sword Emperor raised an eyebrow, joined his fingers, and struck again.

However, the giant insect, regardless of the depletion of its Origin, forcibly tore open the deepest spatial barrier of the Canglan Realm.

With a flash of light, the massive body that had previously blotted out the sky instantly shrank, turning into an afterimage that disappeared into the Void Realm rift.

The Sword Qi struck empty space, cleanly slicing off a distant mountaintop.

"Tsk, it runs pretty fast."

As his voice fell, the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul relinquished control of Su Ming's body.

The next second!

Su Ming regained control of his body.

He stumbled slightly, his face looking pale.

Sure enough, every time the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul took over the body, the physical burden was immense.

However, what surprised him was that even the Sword Emperor failed to kill the Guichong Ancestor.

One must know that the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul had previously killed a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Strange Entity while in the Immortal Sovereign Realm.

He withdrew his gaze.

Su Ming used the Great Void Art and quickly rushed toward Central Continent... the Barren Deathland.

When Su Ming arrived at the Barren Deathland, he was astonished to find that Xuanyuan Tianji was waiting for him outside the Barren Deathland.

"Why didn't you enter the Barren Deathland?"

The moment she saw him, Xuanyuan Tianji spoke irritably.

"You didn't even give me a condensing breath pill. Were you expecting me to go in and court death...?"

"Uh..."

...
