Chapter 1142 - 788: Xiaoshan of the Southern Wilderness, Manifestation of the Ancestor (Triple Combo)
…
In front of the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, the blazing sun hung high, and black gravel was scattered all across the forbidden zone.
At the same time, the raging Gang Wind was particularly violent.
Forming one black storm after another.
At this moment, four figures stood before the Desert Sea.
These four were Haiyan, Haisheng, and Jingcheng, plus the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.
Although the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor needed to sit guard over the Desert Sea, when it came to these Soul-devouring Insect Demon Kings and the Soul-devouring Insect Race, Jingcheng truly had no way to deal with them.
So he could only have the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor accompany them.
Moreover, if anything unexpected happened, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor could also provide some support on the Array side.
“This should be a modified Natural Array!” Haiyan took one look at the Array, his eyebrows twitching slightly as he spoke.
“It trapped these Gang Winds and formed a forbidden land. This should be something the Celestial Sand Sect set up. I just don’t know how exactly this Celestial Sand Sect declined in the end!” After Haiyan finished speaking, he couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional.
The Celestial Sand Sect’s history in the Desert Sea could be traced back thousands of years.
Back then, even Pill Desolate hadn’t come over yet, so naturally now it was very difficult to explore.
But judging from these Soul-devouring Insects, the Celestial Sand Sect in the past must have been extremely glorious.
“Jingcheng, Uncle Long, if we’re not in a rush, let me study the Array first. This is an Array without a controller. If I can fully understand it, maybe we can use Array to probe Array, avoid the Soul of Death–forbidding effect of the Gang Wind, and at the same time not alarm these Soul-devouring Insects!” In fact, for the Ye Family, these Soul-devouring Insects counted as natural guardian Spirit Insects for the Array. They should have received commands and wouldn’t damage the Teleportation Array.
And Soul-devouring Insects like these were also very easy to contract and control, using them to guard the Teleportation Array for the Ye Family would be excellent.
Of course, the pity was that Jingcheng no longer had the possibility of a Soul Contract.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that these were just some Spirit Insects— their Divine Souls might actually be stronger than a Demon King’s Divine Soul!
As he spoke, Haiyan also took out a few Array Discs and began to study the Array.
When Haisheng heard Haiyan say this, his interest also rose greatly. But after watching for a while, just like before, he gave up.
Instead, he released his Lifebound Sword Embryo and began to nurture it.
Jingcheng couldn’t help with anything at the side, so he just watched quietly.
Acting as Guardian for Haiyan.
In this way, a full three days passed.
Haiyan suddenly let out a low shout:
“So it really is like this—truly ingenious!”
As he finished, he excitedly sent out one Spirit Technique after another, accurately landing them at several points.
At once the Gang Wind began to change direction, revealing a black-and-red sand path.
And the previous effect of blocking Divine Sense also abruptly disappeared.
“Jingcheng, if you hadn’t devoured dreams and searched the Soul-devouring Insects’ memories, you might easily get lost within the forbidden ground. This Array can be said to be a Tier Four Array patching a gap in a Tier Five Natural Grand Array, but it seems that because too much time has passed, the gap between the Tier Four and Tier Five Arrays became larger and larger, which finally gave me a chance to break it!” Haiyan spoke, and there was a hint of lucky relief in his voice.
Natural Arrays were indeed powerful, but precisely because they were natural, many were half-Arrays with obvious gaps.
Those gaps had been filled and perfected by people of the Celestial Sand Sect, and thus a forbidden land was born.
Of course, with the change of the Gang Wind, countless Soul-devouring Insects also swarmed over.
Seeing this, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor took a step forward, its Demon Emperor aura fully unleashed, making those Soul-devouring Insects buzz loudly, for a moment not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Even a few Demon Kings retreated deeper inside.
“There are actually four Demon Kings!” With the Array barrier gone, Jingcheng’s Divine Sense also probed in, discovering that within this Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, there were a full four Soul-devouring Insect Demon Kings. The strongest among them was clearly a Late Stage of Fourth Tier Soul-devouring Insect Demon King.
Its Divine Sense was exceptionally terrifying, probably equivalent to a Tier Four Peak Divine Sense. At this moment, sensing danger, it gathered all the Soul-devouring Insects, a full several hundred thousand of them, forming a Chongyun in the distance—quite a spectacular sight.
But with just that one probe of Divine Sense, Jingcheng’s head already buzzed a bit; the Divine Sense he extended had been devoured.
“Don’t use Divine Sense, use the Dharma Eye!” Jingcheng quickly said.
Haisheng and Haiyan both nodded repeatedly, but their faces didn’t look too good either; obviously quite a bit of their Divine Sense had been devoured as well.
“Jingcheng, how should we deal with these Soul-devouring Insects?” At this moment the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was still calm and composed. Demon Beasts didn’t rely that much on Divine Sense, and as a Tier Five Demon Emperor, its Divine Soul had already been tempered by the Beast Infant Treasure Light, so it didn’t fear these Soul-devouring Insects.
Now that the Array and Gang Wind were no longer in the way, it was confident it could wipe out all these Soul-devouring Insects, but that clearly didn’t match the Ye Family’s interests.
“Dragon Ancestor, kill two Demon Kings first. As for the remaining two, let’s see if we can control them!” Jingcheng still felt somewhat uncertain at this moment. Many Demon Beasts would rather die than submit, especially this kind of Spirit Insect that once had a master.
But Jingcheng truly couldn’t bear to part with these Soul-devouring Insects. Starting again from laying eggs and raising them would take far too much time.
Even if they couldn’t keep all these hundred thousand, keeping half of them would already be great.
With Jingcheng’s words, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor returned a hand gesture indicating agreement, then directly transformed into its true form.
The enormous Golden Giant Lizard appeared in the air, exerting an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Thick Golden Light began to rampage through the Desert Sea.
Dense golden Earth Spikes instantly killed thousands of Soul-devouring Insects. At the same time, a golden Spirit Claw grabbed toward the strongest Soul-devouring Insect Demon King among them.
“Submit, or die!” The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s voice was domineering to the extreme.
“Bzzz!” Yet those Soul-devouring Insect Demon Kings clearly had no fear at all; they actually led their army to hurl themselves at the golden Spirit Claw.
