#1084 - Ancient Demon Centipede

Jun Wuxie sensed the imminent danger and rushed towards the Corpse-Eating Flowers with all his speed.

He uprooted these Corpse-Eating Flowers and stored them in his Naring.

The moment the Corpse-Eating Flowers were uprooted, long, dark-red, blood vessel-like roots that covered the entire stone platform were revealed, extending from the ground of the stone platform to the metal coffin on the central high platform!

Jun Wuxie's pupils suddenly contracted slightly. Such a scene meant that there was some kind of special connection between the Corpse-Eating Flowers and that coffin.

He was about to put down the Corpse-Eating Flowers when the roots became extremely brittle and snapped directly. At the point of fracture, they turned into a rain of blood-colored light, fluttering down.

At this moment, the runes on the metal coffin on the central high platform lit up with a faint light, and the coffin trembled gently.

Weird sounds echoed in the void from all directions, like a woman humming. The sound was very soft and ethereal, adding to the eerie atmosphere in such a depressing environment, making one's hair stand on end.

At the same time, the runes on the suspended coffin above also lit up.

Among those runes, some were particularly brilliant, like Dao symbols carved on them.

As those Dao symbols shimmered, they actually detached from the coffin and floated in the air, revolving around the two metal coffins.

At this moment, the metal coffin below gradually stopped trembling and became quiet.

However, the Dao symbols surrounding the coffin in the air became even more brilliant.

Each Dao symbol was emitting light, and the lights formed a huge Dao symbol diagram, rotating and falling into the abyss.

Roar!

From the depths of the abyss, a low roar came, and a huge monster rushed out, its face ferocious, its body segmented, with hundreds of legs, and its entire body pitch black!

"Ancient Demon Centipede! This is a Heavenly Saint Beast-level creature!"

Anning recognized it at a glance. The Ancient Insect Anecdotes had records of it, as well as a clear portrait.

The Demon Centipede's entire body was like it was forged from gold and iron. It rushed up from the abyss, directly pouncing towards Jun Wuxie and the others to kill them.

"Retreat!"

Jun Wuxie felt the terrifying energy contained within the Demon Centipede's body, and couldn't help but feel startled. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept Xu Yan'ning, Anning, and Lanlan to the edge of the abyss.

At the same time, Taiji Star Ocean, Primordial Soldier Dissolution, and True Martial Undying Body were all activated simultaneously, instantly sublimating his power and increasing it explosively.

His golden palm slammed forward, and the Dou character incantation was triggered, causing his realm to instantly step into the middle stage of the Saint King Realm's Great Celestial Position!

Surging divine power surged, and golden light illuminated the entire cave, colliding head-on with the Demon Centipede in a thunderous crash.

Amidst the clanging tremors, sparks flew.

The Ancient Demon Centipede was slightly stunned by the attack, but Jun Wuxie's golden blood qi shield on his body instantly collapsed. He only felt an irresistible force coming, causing his body to shake violently, his internal organs as if they were torn apart. He flew backwards, across the abyss, landing on the edge of the abyss, his feet creating two deep pits in the solid ground.

The reversing blood qi was difficult to suppress, and it rushed to his throat, spewing out.

"Brother Yue!"

"Young Master!"

Xu Yan'ning and Anning were frightened and their faces turned pale. They were about to rush up as a conditioned reflex.

"Don't come over!"

Jun Wuxie made a gesture of prohibition, staring intently at the giant Demon Centipede that had extended half of its body from the abyss, wiping the golden bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.

He could feel the Demon Centipede's aura firmly locking onto him. If he made any movements, the Demon Centipede would launch a fatal blow in an instant.

The atmosphere became incomparably tense and oppressive.

From the depths of the abyss, the Demon Centipede's half-body, which was tens of meters long, extended out, standing very high, its tyrannical blood-colored eyes staring coldly at the shore.

"Don't move. You stay close together and stand still!"

Jun Wuxie stared vigilantly at the Demon Centipede, his back facing Xu Yan'ning, Anning, and Lanlan, seriously instructing them.

At the same time, a bloody light lit up on his body, and a violent aura swept out. Behind him, a demonic visage appeared, towering up, reaching the top of the cave.

More than three thousand and six hundred times of sublimation!

Apart from the Taiji Star Ocean, all other secret techniques were sublimation-type secret techniques. Without the superposition of the Dou character incantation, pure more than three thousand times of sublimation, this had already exceeded the limit that his physical body could withstand!

In just an instant, his essence, qi, and spirit were burning in large quantities, and cracks began to appear in his muscles. His physical body, as the carrier, could not withstand such power.

The Ancient Demon Centipede sensed that the target had suddenly become nearly ten times stronger, roared, and launched an attack.

Boom!

Jun Wuxie stepped forward, and a river of mortal dust flowed, wrapped in the power of years, impacting the Demon Centipede.

At the same time, his body transformed into a battle sword exuding the sword intent of mortal dust amidst the brilliant light, pulling up a brilliant light tail, and killing towards the Ancient Demon Centipede.

The rainbow light formed by the battle sword cutting through the sky pierced through here, constantly flashing, colliding fiercely with the Ancient Demon Centipede, the clanging tremors were ear-piercing, and sparks flew.

In a short period of time, they collided countless times.

Amidst the violent energy and sword intent torrent, the battle sword separated from the Demon Centipede and transformed back into Jun Wuxie's body, his whole body flowing with golden blood.

After landing, he staggered back several steps, each step stamping a half-foot deep footprint into the ground, his chest heaving violently.

The Ancient Demon Centipede had no injuries except for shallow white marks on its body!

Jun Wuxie's sublimation beyond the limit, with the Dou character incantation effect increasing ten minor realms, still could not break the Ancient Demon Centipede's defense.

The Ancient Demon Centipede made a hissing sound, approaching him.

"Lanlan, Dragon Scale Shield!"

Jun Wuxie flew backwards, and in a flash of lightning, he retreated to Xu Yan'ning, Anning, and Lanlan's side.

The Ancient Demon Centipede chased after him, and at this time, the Dragon Scale Shield condensed, blocking its attack with a clang.

Under the Dragon Scale Shield, Jun Wuxie used the Dragon Tiger Strength, punching the Demon Centipede's body.

With this strike, he used the Fire of Artifacts, the Six Yang True Fire of a peak Saint Artifact Master of the Third Realm, enough to burn a Half-Step Overlord Saint!

However, after the Six Yang True Fire entered the Ancient Demon Centipede's body, in addition to causing it to feel a slight pain and struggle for a moment, it did not cause substantial damage.

"This Ancient Demon Centipede exceeds the limit that I can kill now..."

Jun Wuxie gave up and stopped trying. He knew very well that continuing would be meaningless, and would only make himself weaker in the sublimation beyond the limit, which was unwise.

With a thought, he disappeared into the cave, carrying Xu Yan'ning, Anning, and Lanlan.

A bluestone was left where they disappeared.

The Ancient Demon Centipede, which was attacking the Dragon Scale Shield, suddenly lost its target. Without the Dragon Scale Shield, it slammed into the bluestone.

However, the bluestone did not shatter under the overbearing power. Instead, it remained as stable as a rock in place, without any cracks or being shaken.

The Ancient Demon Centipede saw the problem, and its blood-colored eyes flashed with fierce light. It let out a violent roar and attacked the bluestone frantically.

But no matter how it attacked, the bluestone remained as stable as a rock, but instead, the part of the Ancient Demon Centipede that hit the bluestone cracked and oozed blood.

It roared in anger and circled around the bluestone, guarding it.

The bluestone was naturally the Eight-Nine Profound Palace transformed.

At this time, Jun Wuxie, Xu Yan'ning, Anning, and Lanlan were all in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

The space they were in was different from the last time they came. It was not the ancient palace from last time, but an idyllic paradise with singing birds and fragrant flowers, clear mountains and clear waters, and misty clouds.

After Jun Wuxie established a close connection with the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, he knew that there were other spaces in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, but those were not the main spaces, and there was nothing in them.

In addition, he was in the ancient tomb, and he didn't have time to check.

Unexpectedly, in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, outside the inheritance hall of the Burial Emperor, there was a small world with such beautiful surroundings.

"Brother Yue, are you alright?"

Xu Yan'ning didn't have time to observe where this was. Her whole mind was on Jun Wuxie. Seeing him covered in blood, his face pale, and his eyes tired, she was worried and distressed.

"Young Master, how are you?"

Anning hugged his arm, looking at him with a worried face.

"I'm not that fragile."

Jun Wuxie shook his head and sat down cross-legged on the spot, devouring the Half-Step Overlord Saint-level powerhouse in his body, restoring his consumed essence, qi, and spirit, and repairing his physical damage.

Xu Yan'ning and Anning were still very uneasy, their two beautiful eyes staring at him, not even blinking.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when they saw that his complexion had obviously recovered a little bit of color, and his life essence was becoming more and more vigorous, that they were relieved.

The two girls breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at each other at the same time, and then they were stunned, and smiled at each other.

Lanlan was趴in front of Jun Wuxie, her nose抵on his leg, blinking her big black eyes, quietly watching him, looking呆萌呆萌.

Jun Wuxie's condition was rapidly improving. Xu Yan'ning and Anning had nothing to do, and looked around at the environment here.

They got up and walked into the distance, and found that the space here was not small, with mountains, rivers, and beautiful environments.

Not only are there green mountains, plains, rivers, and forests, but also lakes, and you can see stars in the sky…

"Where is this exactly?"

They all felt confused. Jun Wuxie took them and disappeared in the cave, and it was impossible to reach another real world in an instant. Otherwise, why bother to find a way out?

That means that this is not a real world, but a mysterious space?

They were full of doubts, and they couldn't figure it out, so they didn't think about it anymore.

The next day, Jun Wuxie's body was completely restored to its peak state.

He opened his eyes and found that no one was around, and he couldn't help but stunned for a moment. His divine sense spread out, and he soon found Xu Yan'ning and Anning in front of a clear stream.

These two women, in this safe and beautiful environment, completely relaxed themselves. They took off their shoes and soaked their exquisite jade feet in the stream, sitting side by side by the stream and playing in the water.

Jun Wuxie got up and went to the stream, sitting down between them.

“Brother Yue, have you recovered?”

Xu Yan'ning turned her head, her beautiful eyes instantly smiling, like two crescent moons, so sweet that people felt like they had eaten honey.

“Young Master~”

An Ning also looked at him with a happy face.

“It’s just a loss of energy, it’s nothing.” Jun Wuxie smiled indifferently, then his face sank slightly, “It’s just that we probably won’t be able to get out for the time being.”

Hearing him say this, Xu Yan'ning and An Ning were slightly stunned, then joked: “If we can’t get out, we can’t get out. Here, there’s only you and us, no one else. It’s such a quiet place, even if we stay for a lifetime, it’s good~”

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile when he heard this, “I know you want to follow me, but following me doesn’t mean hiding here and ignoring the world. Of course, I also want to ignore the world, but the current era is obviously impossible. Perhaps, one day in the future, everything will be settled, and all the hidden dangers will be gone. Only then will there be a real paradise, a place of seclusion.”

“Young Master, can An Ning really follow you?”

Princess An Ning showed an excited expression on her face when she heard what he said.

“Of course.” Jun Wuxie looked at her with a smile, gently stroking An Ning’s hair, and said: “I want to unify Qingzhou, and unify the world in the future, and you will help me govern the dynasty, and be the empress of the dynasty. Could it be that you still want to leave me?”

“Young Master, you clearly know that An Ning doesn’t mean that…” Princess An Ning bit her bright red lips, looking at him with some resentment, “From the beginning, An Ning fell into the net you set up, knowing that she couldn’t break free, but constantly deceiving herself, throwing herself into the fire like a moth again and again. Do you know, you are a man who can make people addicted…”

“There are many people who are addicted, far more than just the two of us.”

Xu Yan'ning interjected from the side, her eyes a little blurred, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face, not knowing what she was thinking of.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Besides those in the Lower Realm, are the others doing well?

He especially wants to find them as soon as possible.

Before this, he didn't know the use of the Eight-Nine Profound Palace. Even if he found his old friends, he couldn't give them a safe environment.

Now it's different. With the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, at least he can ensure that when encountering danger, he can provide a safe haven.

The Eight-Nine Profound Palace is a Half-Step Heavenly Emperor Artifact. Very few people in the heavens can cause damage to this level of artifact. In this Upper Realm, I am afraid that no one can break it open, including those existences in the Life Forbidden Zones.

This also means that as long as you hide in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, it is basically absolutely safe.

It's just that if you hide here for a long time, the resource problem cannot be solved.

Furthermore, his current control over the Eight-Nine Profound Palace is limited. He can only make simple changes. After entering, he cannot control its flight.

In other words, if you enter the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, you can only stay in place, and you will be besieged by the enemy and unable to get out.

“These problems should be solved when I cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Art in the future. At that time, this Eight-Nine Profound Palace will truly be a pure land providing shelter in times of crisis, which will bring me great convenience and solve many troubles…”

He thought to himself, and couldn't help but be a little distracted.

Xu Yan'ning reached out and waved in front of him, blinking her big eyes, “Brother Yue, what are you dazing off about?”

“It’s nothing, put on your shoes and come with me. The Ancient Demon Centipede is guarding outside. We can’t get out now. We must improve our strength and break through the realm until we have the strength to deal with it. Although you don’t need to fight, you can’t waste your time idly when I’m cultivating. The current era is changing very quickly, and a great era has already begun. Time is very tight and cannot be slackened.”

… …

“Although we have some pills and other resources on us, it is basically impossible to break through the realm in a short period of time. The Ancient Demon Centipede is too strong. If Young Master wants to have the strength to kill it, he has to improve several realms. In the Saint King Realm, Young Master is also a body cultivator. Without special cultivation resources, I don’t know how many years it will take to achieve such a breakthrough…”

An Ning said that although this place is very safe, let alone a few years, even ten or a hundred years can be waited.

But if the time is too long, I am afraid that there will be problems with the condition of the ancient tomb.

If the ancient tomb completely sinks into the earth and enters an unknown field.

Even if they go out from here, it is hard to say whether they can get out of the ancient tomb.

“You don’t have to worry about resources. The Corpse Flower is the best thing for us to quickly improve our realm.”

“Ah?”

An Ning looked at him blankly, with a puzzled look on her face.

Xu Yan'ning pondered slightly, and then she understood.

She remembered that even the terrible Supreme Curse in the Lower Realm could be purified by God Jun.

Although the energy of this Corpse Flower is strange, it will definitely not be difficult for God Jun.

When the time comes, after purification, the pure energy of the Corpse Flower can be used for cultivation, and then the realm will not advance by leaps and bounds.
