266: Encountered ant tide, Shengxuan Bone Pearl! [Seeking follow-up reading]

A dark color spread from the earth, extending to the horizon, seemingly making even the sky extremely dim and oppressive.

This was also a dark wasteland, and in the distance of the wasteland, ear-piercing roars would occasionally emanate.

Within those roars, there was no Life Qi; only the purest, most extreme desire for slaughter!

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared in the sky above this long-silent wasteland, and then, from within those cracks, many streaks of light shot out.

In an instant, they shattered the desolate silence of this world.

And amidst these sky-high cracks, a large swath of rainbow light also suddenly shot out, finally slowly descending to the ground.

As the rainbow light dissipated, hundreds of figures were revealed; it was the Dao Sect disciples led by Ying Xiaoxiao and Lin Fan.

“Upon entering the Different Demon Domain, most people will be randomly teleported to various peripheral areas by space vortices. So, unless our luck is too bad, we shouldn’t encounter Yuan Gate too early,” Ying Xiaoxiao said after scanning her surroundings.

“Everyone, be careful. There seems to be something under the ground,” Lin Fan swept his gaze slightly, reminding everyone.

As his voice fell, Lin Fan stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and a terrifying force swept out, directly cracking the ground.

Beneath that crack, more than a dozen hideous demonic monsters, completely black and covered in sharp black thorns, revealed their bloody giant eyes.

Swish swish!

Just as Lin Fan discovered these demonic monsters hidden underground, the surrounding earth suddenly collapsed entirely, and then countless extremely sharp, gigantic black thorns directly pierced out from the ground, striking towards the Dao Sect disciples.

Having just landed, they were subjected to such fierce attacks, and many Dao Sect disciples were caught off guard.

However, some excellent Disciples reacted quickly, and their abundant Yuan Power swept out, clumsily fending off the incoming black thorns.

Ying Huanhuan was also somewhat caught off guard at this moment, dealing with these sharp attacks from underground.

However, the number of attacks directed at her was clearly much larger.

Therefore, as she repelled a dozen demonic monsters, her face changed slightly as she saw the earth crack, and sharp claws, imbued with chilling intent, fiercely grabbed at her. Immediately, a cry of surprise couldn't help but escape her lips.

Just as her cry of surprise had barely left her lips, a figure, like a phantom, appeared before her. With one hand, he embraced her waist and soared into the air, while his other palm slammed down heavily onto the ground!

Boom!

Instantly, a giant crimson palm appeared out of thin air, carrying terrifying might, and fiercely struck the ground!

Bang bang bang!

Under a single palm strike, the earth directly collapsed.

Then, the Dao Sect disciples, their faces somewhat pale, saw that from the collapsing underground, demonic monsters, completely black with crimson giant eyes, surged out like a tide.

“Demonic ants... what bad luck...”

Ying Xiaoxiao and the others looked at the massive black demonic ants, their expressions all turning grim.

They hadn't expected to encounter such troublesome creatures so soon after arriving in the Different Demon Domain.

The Dao Sect forces were clearly not the only ones attacked by these demonic ants.

Not long after the commotion here spread, some exclamations came from the distance, followed by even more shrill screams, indicating that some people had already fallen victim.

For a time, this black wasteland became extremely chaotic.

“Huanhuan, use your Sonic Power to hypnotize them,” Lin Fan said, releasing Ying Huanhuan after temporarily creating some distance from the demonic ants.

“My Sonic Power, if one’s Mental Energy is even slightly stronger, they can ignore it,” Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then said.

“These things don’t possess any Mental Energy. To others, they are a great menace, but to you, they are utterly defenseless.”

As Lin Fan spoke, he struck out with another palm, and the terrifying palm force easily annihilated a dozen demonic ants.

However, there were simply too many demonic ants; it was unrealistic for Lin Fan to kill them all.

Ying Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. Immediately, she gently raised her jade hand, and a jade-green zither, like emerald, appeared. Her jade fingers plucked the strings, and the light zither music quickly spread.

Clap clap clap!

As soon as the zither music emanated, everyone immediately saw that the originally fiercely attacking demonic ants immediately slowed down, then directly fainted like cut straw. “Well done!”

Lin Fan gave Ying Huanhuan a thumbs-up, praising her with a smile.

Ying Huanhuan listened to Lin Fan’s praise, her expression calm, but her heart was quite happy.

“Go!”

Ying Xiaoxiao and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, then gave a soft cry, intending to lead the team to quickly leave this dangerous place.

“Sister, there seems to be something under the ground,” just then, Ying Huanhuan suddenly said hesitantly.

“Hmm?”

Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, and the others were all stunned, their steps also slowing down as they looked at Ying Huanhuan in confusion.

Ying Huanhuan furrowed her delicate brows, and her jade hand abruptly plucked the zither strings, a wave of sonic energy directly shot out.

Then, everyone saw that the black tide of ants surging from the ground parted as if by a large hand, revealing the dark earth.

As the ant tide dispersed, they saw that deep beneath the ground, a patch of brown rock seemed to be revealed.

At this moment, on top of that rock, several figures seemed to be sitting cross-legged.

“Is that... a life profound bone pearl? Good heavens, these withered corpses must have been Life Profound Realm Great Accomplishment or even Perfection powerhouses in their lifetime!”

Wang Yan’s face showed a look of emotion, and he lowered his voice, speaking to Lin Fan and the others.

“No wonder there’s an ant tide of this scale here; it turns out it was attracted by the life profound bone pearl,” Ying Xiaoxiao also realized.

“Should we seize it?”

Wang Yan looked at Lin Fan and Ying Xiaoxiao, saying.

Whoosh!

Just then, in the distance, an extremely ear-piercing sword cry suddenly resounded.

Then, the Dao Sect crowd was startled and turned their heads, only to see brilliant light surging in the distance.

These lights directly transformed into a giant light sword, and an ear-piercing sword cry spread out, directly tearing through the ant tide at an astonishing speed, finally appearing in the air above Lin Fan and the others.

“People from Sword Sect?”

Looking at the sudden light sword, Ying Xiaoxiao and the others’ expressions changed slightly.

“Heh heh, I was wondering why an ant tide of this scale would appear in the periphery of this Different Demon Domain. So there’s another reason...”

In mid-air, the light sword gradually dimmed, finally revealing a large group of people. The gray-robed man leading them was smiling as he looked at Lin Fan and the others.

Then, his gaze shifted, staring with intense fervor at the withered corpses on the brown rock deep underground.

Many Dao Sect disciples showed vigilance in their eyes due to the arrival of the Sword Sect Disciples.

“I am Xue Ling from Sword Sect. Heh heh, friends from Dao Sect, how about we peacefully divide this life profound bone pearl?”

The gray-robed man looked at Lin Fan and the others, his eyes flickering, then he said with a smile.

“Xue Ling...”

Ying Xiaoxiao and the others frowned slightly as they looked at this Sword Sect Disciple who had suddenly appeared. They probably hadn’t expected that they too would be teleported to this area.

And judging by their appearance, they also had a way to deal with the ant tide and had sensed the commotion here.

“Let them go get the life profound bone pearl first,” just as Ying Xiaoxiao was pondering, Ying Huanhuan suddenly came behind Lin Fan and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Lin Fan turned to look. At this moment, the young girl’s bright, large eyes were shimmering with a cunning like that of a little fox. (End of chapter)
