Chapter 514 - Monster (1/2)
In mid-air, Zhong Yue met with two insect magnates. Although the insect magnates were struck hard by the deadly light beam, they were still magnates. Furthermore, with the help of the insect divine weapons, they were able to escape death.
These two insect magnates were both in the Ten Little Saints; whether it be their arcane energy or their holistic strength, they ranked among the top of insect race Qi Practitioners.
These two insect magnates had both experienced countless battles, and their combat sense was beyond most Ancestral Star Qi Practitioners. Right at the moment they clashed with Zhong Yue, one of the insect magnate disappeared from Zhong Yue's sight as he entered Zhong Yue's body.
This insect magnate was from the Void Hookworm Race, they could shift between tangible physical forms and ethereal void forms. Plus, the Void Hookworm was also a kind of hookworm, their bodies were slimy and slippery and had only a mouth on them. When inside an expert, they could easily devour the Yuan Shen and mortal body of their victims.
This Void Hookworm Qi Practitioner was a magnate. He turned into his void form and entered Zhong Yue's body It coiled around Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen and started devouring Zhong Yue's essence.
His body was crawling with hooks that hung onto Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen, making Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen unable to escape.
Instantly, Zhong Yue could feel his cultivation base plummeting like free fall; his blood essence was also disrupted as the Void Hookworm insect magnate sucked his essences.
The other insect magnate turned into a human-like toad of ten thousand feet tall. He raised a scythe-like divine weapon with two hands and swung it at Zhong Yue's neck!
The scythe was over 30,000 feet long, and Zhong Yue was only over ten feet tall — hey were totally out of proportion! However, the scythe's blade was incredibly thin, thinner than the silks and before it reached Zhong Yue, the divine scythe's blade Qi had already created a narrow, thin wound on Zhong Yue's neck!
Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen was trapped and his mortal body was unable to move, he could only watch as the scythe slashed over at him!
Sui Sovereign!, Zhong Yue shouted in his heart.
His psyche visualized the the Sui Sovereign and Fire Order Palace. Saint fire burned in the palace, it was the fire of the Fire Order, the origin of all fire. The Sui Sovereign was the progenitor of the the Fire Order Era and was the only one who cultivated the art of fire to the extreme.
The Fire Order Palace and the Sui Sovereign Zhong Yue visualized was just a mere phantom of what what they truly were. The totem patterns that formed the saint fire were authentic, but his understanding of it was close to non-existant.
However, it was, after all, the saint fire of the Sui Sovereign, even an extremely basic visualization of it was strong enough to burn the Void Hookworm insect magnate.
Blazing fire flamed all across the Void Hookworm's body and he cried in pain. The insect magnate felt both his body and Yuan Shen being eroded by the saint fire and he quickly released himself away from Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen and flew out from Zhong Yue's body!
Ding——
The Golden Peng Sword was cast out and countered the incoming scythe. But as Zhong Yue cast the sword out in a hurry, he couldn't stop the scythe Qi coming at him and a half inch deep wound was created across his neck.
Meanwhile, the Void Hookworm flew out from Zhong Yue's body and instantly clawed over at Zhong Yue's back.
The other 10,000 feet tall toad-like insect magnate waved the scythe and slashed down again.
Totem patterns emerged all over Zhong Yue's body, linking up together and forming a shield that stopped the Void Hookworm magnate's attack from behind. Yet, just as the attack was going to land on the shield, the insect magnate's arm phased through the shield by shifting to its void form.
Zhong Yue's skill didn't even stall the strike for a single second as the claw went through his chest, clenching onto his heart.
"Just die, you punk!" The insect magnate guffawed and clenched his hand, turning his arm back into its physical form and pulling Zhong Yue's heart out from the chest.
Zhong Yue ignored the loss of his heart while he raised the golden sword and blocked the scythe again. A hundred and eight Xuan Yin Banners flew out from his Yuan Shen secret realms and shot out at the toad-like insect magnate.
The insect magnate pulled back the scythe and struck at the banners. However, the banners formed into an array formation that trapped the insect magnate in the middle.
The Void Hookworm insect magnate ripped Zhong Yue's heart into pieces and said while smiling, "Let's see how you survive now survive at this state!"
As if on cue, a new heart could be seen quickly growing back inside of the cavity on Zhong Yue's chest.
The Void Hookworm insect magnate was shocked and he exclaimed, "What is this!?"
"The Immortal Body," Zhong Yue turned around with an indifferent face, and he raised his hand and the [Celestial Demon Yi] burst out at the insect magnate.
The [Celestial Demon Yi] was the strongest skill in his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], in just one strike, the Tai Chi diagram appeared and burst out in great force.
The Void Hookworm insect magnate regained his composure, and he clawed over and with the same trick again, his hand passed through the [Celestial Demon Yi] as if it was nothing. This time, he aimed for Zhong Yue's head as he smirked and said, "What Immortal Body? You can regrow your heart, but can you regrow a brain?"
In just the blink of an eye, his claws are already inches away from Zhong Yue's forehead.
Dang——
Suddenly, a loud bell toll reverberated through sky. The [Shao Hao Bell] emerged around Zhong Yue's body and covered half of the Void Hookworm insect magnate in it.
"Your body can change forms between physical and void, but so can my bell." Zhong Yue said coldly as he surged his arcane energy into the bell, "Now, the question is, can you fight against my bell?"
A deafening bell ring trembled the earth and half of the Void Hookworm insect magnate's body outside of the [Shao Hao Bell] was pulverized into ash. Inside of the translucent bell, the Void Hookworm insect magnate's body remained intact. His claws reached to the front of Zhong Yue's forehead and suddenly stopped there.
"If you cultivated the Immortal Body as well, then you would've been able to live." Zhong Yue looked at the halved insect magnate and said placidly.
Pu——
Blood sprinkled out from the Void Hookworm magnate's halved mortal body and he collapsed to the ground twitching incessantly.
Zhong Yue turned around and consumed a few of Husan Weng's fingers to recover from his injuries. He then stared at the insect experts as another eight of them pounced over at him. He said softly, "But sadly, it seems like you didn't cultivate the Immortal Body."
