150: Yue Xiyan succeeded!
However, gradually, the Demon Lord's eyes filled with intense greed!
If he could obtain this demonic cultivation method and strengthen himself with this demonic energy, how powerful would he become?
It had been a long time since he had desired anything, but now, the cultivation method for Li Shengyuan's pure demonic energy reawakened the greed in his heart.
"If you hand over the demonic cultivation method you possess, this Lord can grant you a quick death!"
"Hmph! What are you? If you have the guts, kill me first!" Li Shengyuan scoffed with a cold smile, the madness and killing intent in his eyes making him want to tear the Demon Lord apart.
"Seeking death!"
The Demon Lord snorted coldly, his originally thin body suddenly expanding, veins bulging, muscles coiling, transforming into a brawny man, his long robe bursting.
His strength and speed instantly surged!
Li Shengyuan was already accustomed to this; many martial cultivators in the Demonic Sect used this move, mostly due to excessive consumption of pills or body modifications.
Just as the two were engaged in a fierce brawl, Yue Xiyan had already silently infiltrated the depths of the underground world.
Only after coming here herself did she realize how complex this underground world was; every few steps, she would encounter a crossroads connecting at least three passages.
When she extended her divine sense to probe, its perception was also greatly diminished…
She could only follow the path the Insectoids used to transport blood food, and even then, she would still make wrong turns.
But Yue Xiyan's heart was incredibly calm; she knew that only by calming down could she make the most accurate judgments!
Along the way, she also used the ancient demonic imprint Li Shengyuan had left for her to follow his path deeper into the underground.
Finally, she arrived at the place where Li Shengyuan and the five Blood Bat Kings first clashed.
"Shengyuan fought them here before, so this must be the right place…"
Seeing that she hadn't taken a wrong turn, Yue Xiyan also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a slight surge of excitement.
Even if the Insectoid Queen wasn't here, she must be nearby.
Entering the place where the Beast Taming Elder refined blood food, Yue Xiyan's delicate brows furrowed as she observed the environment inside.
After only a few steps, she saw several Insectoids moving things in the room, and Yue Xiyan's spirits immediately lifted!
She concealed her aura to the extreme, preventing detection.
Watching them leave in an orderly fashion, Yue Xiyan suppressed her inner urges and quietly followed behind them.
Were they going to the Insectoid Queen's location?
Yue Xiyan didn't know, but for her, who had no clues, following them would certainly yield significant gains.
She meandered along, constantly delving deeper underground; the Insectoids had no verbal communication, and the passages were very quiet.
After a long while, Yue Xiyan finally faintly heard some chaotic sounds.
"Bastard, you damn thing, if not for the Demon Lord's help, how would this Elder have survived…"
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll tear you limb from limb and feed you to my precious one!"
Yue Xiyan's spirits immediately lifted when she heard someone speaking; all this way, besides the Insectoids, she hadn't seen a single person!
Now she finally heard someone talking!
She had come to the right place.
"It's been so long, and the Demon Lord still hasn't captured him; could something have gone wrong, and that little beast escaped?"
"They're all useless!"
Is he talking about Shengyuan?
Yue Xiyan's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of anger and worry surfacing in her heart.
She wondered how he was faring against the Demonic Sect's Second Rank…
Yue Xiyan shook her head slightly, shaking off the distracting thoughts, and quietly infiltrated closer to the source of the sound.
As her vision became wider, Yue Xiyan's eyes suddenly widened, and she was stunned by everything before her.
A massive, ugly, hill-like worm came into view.
Compared to it, Yue Xiyan was as tiny as an ant.
The worm's head was small, its body accounted for ninety-nine percent, and it was transparent, vaguely revealing the squirming flesh within.
Insectoids continuously fed blood food into the worm's mouth, which swallowed it without chewing…
Not far away, an old man lay on a bed, grumbling angrily.
At this moment, the giant worm suddenly roared.
"Roar…"
"Stop yelling! Once the Demon Lord captures that little beast, you'll have a beautiful, full meal!" The old voice was filled with a hint of impatience.
The giant worm's cries also startled Yue Xiyan; the worm's pressure was very strong, no different from a Second Rank, but it couldn't exert much combat power.
Its main purpose was continuous reproduction, controlling its offspring to fight.
Yue Xiyan no longer bothered to hide; she took out the Locking Demon Tower and the insecticide, then flashed in front of the Insectoid Queen.
The liquid didn't need to be ingested; under Ye Hangzhou's design, it only needed to be thrown onto the worm's body to automatically merge into the Insectoid Queen's body.
At the same time, Yue Xiyan rapidly formed hand seals, and the Locking Demon Tower glowed with golden light, hovering above the Insectoid Queen's head, attempting to draw it into the tower.
However, the Insectoid Queen's true form was simply too massive, and it possessed Second Rank cultivation; drawing it into the tower was not an easy feat.
Even a pseudo-Second Rank that hadn't undergone the heavenly tribulation transformation was still a Second Rank existence, not so easily dealt with.
A stalemate ensued, and Yue Xiyan's expression couldn't help but sink; fortunately, all the insecticide had already merged into the Insectoid Queen's body, which gave her a slight sense of relief.
At this moment, the heavily injured Beast Taming Elder's aged face was filled with both terror and rage.
He roared fiercely at the suddenly appearing Yue Xiyan:
"Who are you, and why are you here!"
"Quickly release my precious one, or I'll kill you!"
Yue Xiyan cast a cold glance at the angrily roaring old man and dismissed him.
Just an old cripple beaten by Shengyuan; she would deal with him after taking care of the Insectoid Queen!
Seeing that Yue Xiyan didn't stop, and with no other helpers present, the Beast Taming Elder could only charge forward to confront her.
Yue Xiyan could only control the Locking Demon Tower with one hand, freeing her other hand to grip her long sword, and a sword qi slash flew towards the old man.
Pfft!
The already heavily injured old man couldn't block this sword at all, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and flying backward.
His injuries, which had been healed by the Demon Lord, were now re-injured, leaving him on the verge of death…
He could only glare angrily at Yue Xiyan…
At this moment, the Insectoid Queen also let out a roar filled with anger and pain.
Roar!
The insecticide was taking effect!
Its massive body twisted, but enveloped by the Locking Demon Tower, it was difficult for it to resist, let alone leave this place.
Yue Xiyan's face lit up with joy at the sight.
Just then, an opening appeared in the Insectoid Queen's massive body, and two Insectoids emitting the aura of Third Rank Beast Kings crawled out.
Yue Xiyan's smile froze, and her expression gradually became solemn.
Just as Yue Xiyan formally made her move against the Insectoid Queen, the Demon Lord, who was exchanging heavy blows with Li Shengyuan, his face drastically changed; he sensed the sudden change happening with the Insectoid Queen.
With an extremely grim expression, he said to Li Shengyuan in a deep voice:
"There's someone else besides you!"
Seeing this, Li Shengyuan revealed a joyful smile.
"Excellent, it seems Sister Yan succeeded!"
"Old man, don't even think about leaving; next, you'll be the first to witness my full power!"
