Hearing this, the First Prince and his two younger sisters, the Purple-Eyed Demonic God, and the Tree Goddess rushed back to Su Yu. Now, all of them were under the protection of the Domain of Life!
At this moment, the Demonic God of Six Paths and Cailin also noticed the Dead Soul Worm in Su Yu’s palm.
Cailin said, furrowing her eyebrows, “That worm is quite weird!”
Inexplicably, she sensed danger from that worm.
The Demonic God of Six Paths frowned as he said, “Stay away from it!”
Instinct told the Demonic God of Six Paths that that worm was extremely dangerous. Therefore, he retreated from this area immediately.
After taking a breath, Su Yu put a strand of divine strength into the body of this worm. Then, he said in a low voice, “It will be painful for a while. Just hold on for a moment!”
Su Yu clenched his fist to pinch the worm with all his strength.
This external stimulus woke up the remnant sense in the body of this worm.
Rumble…
A gust of horrible aura that could startle the entire Star River gushed out.
The aura was so powerful that only the Giant of the Bitter Sea could rival it.
The green eyes of the Dead Soul Worm, which had been closed for numerous years, were opened abruptly.
Then, the worm rolled its eyes as it glanced at Su Yu, the Frist Prince and his two younger sisters, the Tree Goddess and the Purple-Eyed Demonic God. Then, it turned to Cailin and the Demonic God of Six Paths.
The worm was very calm at this moment, like a Buddha statue in a temple overlooking everything calmly.
When it glanced at the Demonic God of Six Paths, it was still quite calm as if all creatures in this world, including the Demonic God of Six Paths, were a pack of ants in front of it.
However, these ants woke its remnant sense up from its sound sleep that had lasted for numerous years.
After the worm glanced at them, Su Yu and his teammates were totally terrified. Even the Demonic God of Six Paths murmured in terror, “This is a… Median Deity!”
Median Deities were much more powerful than mere low-grade deities.
The Demonic God of Six Paths, who was quite solemn at this moment, also trembled in terror.
Cailin felt her body was frozen after the worm stared at her. Her heart was full of deathly terror, which kept making her shiver. She was so terrified that she was not able to move because of her stiff limbs.
Then, she regained consciousness by biting her tongue. After that, she managed to run away through teleportation.
This worm was too horrible. Except for the Giant of the Bitter Sea, she had never sensed such a scary aura from other creatures before.
Even the Demonic God of Six Paths was not able to rival it!
“Don’t move!” The Demonic God of Six Paths shouted suddenly. His forehead had been covered by cold sweat. He fixed his eyes on the Dead Soul Worm and didn’t dare to move even when he tried to stop Cailin.
However, Cailin had been scared out of her wits by the worm. Therefore, she escaped without thinking.
Now Cailin, who was running away rapidly, attracted the attention of the Dead Soul Worm.
Then a hint of odd emotion appeared in its eyes.
Bang!
The Dead Soul Worm spread its wings. Su Yu’s palm, which was holding it, was crushed instantly.
The next moment, the Dead Soul Worm opened its mouth to inhale heavily as it stared at Cailin.
An unforgettable scene appeared.
The Star River started to flow backward… No, the entire world of the Star River was flowing backward.
The water and broken worlds of the Star River were sucked into the small mouth of the Dead Soul Worm together with countless objects and wild beasts.
A figure, who was dashing forward desperately at the end of the Star River, appeared.
It was Calin!
Now, she was billions of kilometers away from this area. However, she was also sucked back by the worm together with the entire world of the Star River.
Although she was doing her best to dash forward, her body was still moving towards the mouth of the Dead Soul Worm.
“Demonic God of Six Paths, help me!” Cailin screamed in terror.
However, the Demonic God of Six Paths didn’t move a bit. His eyes were also full of terror.
Swish!
The next moment, Cailin was sucked into the stomach of the Dead Soul Worm.
It was quite creepy that the world of the Star River, which had flowed backward just now, was restored instantly as if it had never been devoured by the worm.
The entire process was just like an illusion.
However, all creatures in the world of the Star River that flowed backward just now lost something.
Their souls!
The wild beasts hiding deeply in the Star River and Cailin who had been killed lost their souls!
This scene was not an illusion. The Dead Soul Worm devoured countless souls in the world of the Star River just now!
Su Yu, the First Prince and his two younger sisters, the Purple-Eyed Demonic God, the Tree Goddess and the Demonic God of Six Paths were dumbfounded by this scene.
This was just a Dead Soul Worm who failed to cross its tribulation!
Moreover, his body was only controlled by a strand of remnant sense!
After the death of Cailin, the body of the Dead Soul Worm became darker. After all, it was a broken body supported by the vital energy provided by Su Yu.
The worm was long gone. Therefore, the vital energy in its body was being consumed rapidly, which meant it would only stay alive for a short while.
However, a short while was enough for Su Yu.
The Dead Soul Worm turned to the Demonic God of Six Paths because his soul was the most powerful one among those who were present. Therefore, he was most apt to attract the worm’s attention.
The Demonic God of Six Paths felt his heart had missed a beat. Then he shouted nervously, “I know you are intelligent, but the one who woke you up was not me. Those who are standing behind you did it!”
Hearing this, the Dead Soul Worm turned around and fixed its eyes on Su Yu.
Its gaze made Su Yu’s soul shiver. The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron was trembling violently to warn him.
At last, Su Yu managed to calm down his terrified soul with great difficulty.
He murmured to himself as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. What a horrible Dead Soul Worm!
The Dead Soul Worm glanced at Su Yu, who was fully alert. However, it didn’t attack Su Yu but fixed its eyes on the Demonic God of Six Paths again. Creepy sounds came out from its mouth again.
In this place, only Su Yu knew the languages of different creatures. Therefore, he figured out the strange roar of the Dead Soul Worm.
It was this kind of worm’s language. The worm said, “No hurry! I will devour all of you one by one!”
After uttering the low roar, the Dead Soul Worm slowly flew towards the Demonic God of Six Paths.
The Demonic God of Six Paths decided to attack this horrible enemy first. “The Natural Way of Six Paths!”
Six eyes appeared behind his back and started to shoot deadly black light beams towards the Dead Soul Worm.
Nothing substantial could resist those light beams.
However, the Dead Soul Worm absorbed all those black light beams immediately.
The Dead Soul Worm sent a clear message: “Nothing could harm me!”
That was because the Dead Soul Worm was not substantial. In other words, it was formed by a soul.
It only had a soul and not any physical form.
The Demonic God of Six Paths was shocked. Then, he took out a shabby, old long robe that was stained by blood. The long robe, which was whispering in the wind, gave off a magnificent aura.
Its aura was more powerful than any kind of fairy artifacts. Apparently, it was an Emperor-based Saint Artifact!
“That’s the Nine-Emperor Shroud!” The First Prince shouted in surprise.
“It is said that the Nine-Emperor Shroud had covered the dead bodies of the nine emperors who created the Star River. The shroud is passed down from generation to generation. This long robe was an ordinary item before. However, after wrapping the dead bodies of emperors for nine times, it was saturated by the great will of those emperors. Therefore, it became an Emperor-based Saint Artifact at last. Its rank is 731st. It could inflict serious damages to those who are wrapped by it, including the Giant of the Bitter Sea!”
