437: Chapter 435: Stone Tower Suppresses Insects, Mysterious Monster

The consumed spiritual power and the continuously weakening blood Qi were being devoured by those dark purple little insects.

Moreover, as they absorbed and devoured, they multiplied rapidly, as if they wanted to completely consume the original host's Bloodline and cultivation, eventually taking their place!

After many people noticed the abnormality in their bodies, their expressions changed, and they looked at each other in silent speechlessness.

They had all passed through this area and had been together the whole time; everyone estimated they had fallen into the trap.

"Crunch, crunch..."

While the group looked gloomy, the sound of chewing reached their ears, as if someone were eating some delicacy.

Everyone frowned and looked toward the sound, only to see three monsters that looked like large black lizards standing up, tearing apart a fellow Cultivator and feasting on the person's corpse.

They were like wild beasts, mouths full of blood, tearing at the flesh.

The Jietian Sect Cultivator sitting cross-legged next to the monsters cried out in terror.

"It's the Demonic Creatures! They really followed us! They followed us!"

The one being eaten was also an Jietian Sect Cultivator; now only five remained.

A cold light flashed in Jun Mengqing's eyes, and Flying Swords shimmered in her palm. She struck out six Flying Swords emitting cold Qi, which drew two arcs and slashed at the three Demonic Creatures from the left and right sides.

The three Demonic Creatures remained unmoved. When the six Flying Swords slashed toward them, their bodies flickered strangely, and the Flying Swords passed straight through them without any obstruction at all.

They seemed like fake images, yet they were clearly feasting on the Cultivator's flesh, evidently possessing physical forms.

Beside her, a female Disciple of the Jietian Sect said in terror, "Saintess, it's useless. No means we use can attack them. We are the food they've set their sights on. They will keep haunting us until we are completely eaten clean!"

The Cangxuan Holy Land Cultivators nearby naturally didn't believe it and also began to take action. They gathered their cultivation in their palms, condensed them into hand Seals, and smashed them toward the three Demonic Creatures.

Their methods of attack were endless, striking down continuously, but the final result was an inability to harm them in the slightest.

They were like black energy bodies, constantly devouring and consuming the Cultivators' bodies, while the Cultivators were unable to completely disperse them.

Jun Mengqing tried to use Seal incantations and Magic Treasures, wanting to Seal the three Demonic Creatures, but they seemed fixed there, unable to be moved even an inch, which was frustrating.

At this moment, Jun Mengqing couldn't help but miss Gu Shengge. If he were here, he would surely have a way, and might even choose to study these monsters.

Fortunately, those Demonic Creatures disappeared after eating only one Cultivator this time. The group didn't dare to linger, sustaining the barriers of their defensive Spirit Treasures as they continued their journey.

After several more days of arduous travel, their surroundings were entirely shrouded in clouds and mist. Whether looking up or down, or heading in any direction, there was only despairing, boundless mist.

"Dong! Dong!"

Just as everyone was feeling dejected, the sound of a bell drifted over. The heavy tolling dispersed the gloom in everyone's hearts.

Regardless, there should be other Cultivators nearby. They should head over to take a look; perhaps it could help with the current situation.

Jun Mengqing was somewhat disappointed; this bell sound was not Gu Shengge's taichu dao bell. She didn't know who it was.

They soon arrived at the area where the bell sound vibrated. It was a tall white stone tower. They had seen such towers before, and they contained no Opportunities.

Only now, they were all somewhat moved. Compared to wandering through the boundless mist, this tall tower seemed like a decent choice.

At least it provided a place to stay.

The group quickly rushed into the tower, and Jun Mengqing followed them in. Everyone's tense nerves relaxed. After they sat down, the faint sound of chanting reached their ears.

Originally, they would have been annoyed; these chants were blurry and indistinct, impossible to hear clearly, only causing irritation.

But after being lost in the mist for so long, these chants sounded like heavenly music, making them feel intoxicated, even causing them to hum along unconsciously.

After several more hours, everyone's condition had recovered. They were astonished to find that the insects inside their bodies had actually gone dormant, unable to move at all. Hidden within their Bloodlines, they no longer devoured their cultivation or spiritual power.

To their even greater surprise, the three-headed Demonic Creatures that had appeared from time to time along the way to devour their companions never appeared again after they entered this place.

This discovery made them increasingly joyful, and at the same time, they developed a favorable impression of this originally unremarkable tall tower.

On the other side, where Gu Shengge was, the situation was similar. It was a mist that swept through heaven and earth, shrouding the entire Secret Realm world. Except for these stone towers, almost all areas were covered.

Gu Shengge summoned two Cultivators who had been invaded by those Spirit Devouring Insectss before him, then inspected them with his Divine Thought.

Those Spirit Devouring Insectss had fallen asleep after entering the stone tower, showing no movement. Gu Shengge directly used his Divine Thought to forcibly strip away those Spirit Devouring Insectss, and they didn't resist in the slightest.

Soon, insects the thickness of a finger were stripped out by him. These two fellows had consumed too many Medicinal Pills, resulting in their spiritual power being drained to a near-death state.

Fortunately, Gu Shengge acted in time to help them isolate those insects, which allowed them to keep their lives until now.

As those insects were stripped away, the Death Qi on the two Cultivators gradually dissipated, their condition warmed up, and their spiritual power slowly began to recover.

Many Cultivators around saw this scene and stepped forward one after another, requesting Gu Shengge to help them remove the insects from their bodies as well.

There was no choice; although they weren't being affected yet, the thought of such insects devouring their Bloodline and spiritual power inside their bodies made them feel disgusted.

Furthermore, under the influence of those insects, they had been unable to leave this place. Were they supposed to stay here for a lifetime? That was impossible.

Gu Shengge did not refuse. He just happened to want to properly analyze these creatures to see what their origins were.

The insects inside the entire group's bodies were soon all removed. They only felt comfortable all over and refreshed in spirit.

Gu Shengge, meanwhile, focused on his own research. Could a few mere spirit insects be more terrifying than that System thing?

Gu Shengge analyzed them with his Double-Pupiled eyes, injecting his Divine Thought into them. Under the drive of the Double-Pupiled Divine Eyes, the structure and origin of the insects appeared within his Sea of Consciousness.

After all, they were living beings without powerful concealment of heavenly secrets. Gu Shengge could even use the Power of Fate to peer into their past and future.

Under the perspective of the Double-Pupils, he soon discovered that these spirit insects originated from a giant black monster, as massive as a mountain and shaped like Godzilla.

It was covered in Killing Intent and Evil Qi that was concentrated to the extreme and pure. Even Gu Shengge, looking from afar through the Power of Fate, felt a thick, savage aura rushing toward him. (End of Chapter)
