Chapter 2803: Chapter 2779: Terrifying Bugs

The golden Yuangang Tsunami emanated a mighty pressure in midair, as if all the Yuan Energy between heaven and earth had condensed onto this giant wave. Then the Yuan Energy around the wave began to churn and boil, instantly turning into golden mist that spread across heaven and earth.

The massive wave howled as it surged toward Xiao Jiu. Even within the tornado, Xiao Jiu could feel the terrifying pressure radiating from the Golden Yuan Gang. At this moment, its black Demon Energy tornado had become extremely unstable, even slowly dissipating. Seeing this scene, Xiao Jiu panicked as well. It seemed Boss was really going all out this time.

But it didn’t hesitate, and charged straight at Lin Feng’s Yuangang Tsunami with its Physical Body. In an instant, it was like a streak of black Lightning flashing through the sky, heading directly for the golden Yuangang Tsunami.

At this critical moment, just as Xiao Jiu was about to crash into the golden Yuangang Tsunami, the wave suddenly scattered into countless golden motes of dust and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"What’s going on!" Tangyuan, seeing this, instantly couldn’t understand Boss’s move. He was clearly about to win—why did he give up?

Xiao Jiu’s eyes widened even more. It had already prepared itself to be injured, yet the Yuangang Tsunami actually vanished. What was going on? It flew down toward Lin Feng, lay on the ground watching Lin Feng’s expression, then said, "Boss, I did circulate my Demon Energy!"

It had no idea what it had done wrong again. Previously Boss had told it to learn how to use Demon Energy; it had done that. But why did it still feel like Boss was dissatisfied? Was there something it hadn’t done well enough?

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Just now, didn’t you feel the danger?"

"I did?"

"Then why didn’t you run? If I hadn’t pulled back the Yuangang in time, you would’ve been injured, you know that?"

"I..."

"The lesson I want to teach you is this: when you should dodge, you dodge. If you think you can’t win, then run. Forcing a head-on clash won’t solve the problem. If you’re not absolutely certain, don’t charge in blindly—look for another chance to win, understand?" Lin Feng glared at Xiao Jiu as he spoke. If he hadn’t dispersed the Yuangang in time just now, Xiao Jiu would definitely have been hurt. Although the Dragon Clan’s body was tough enough, he still didn’t want Xiao Jiu injured by his hand. Even children understood that if you can’t win, you run. How could Xiao Jiu not? Still, he was indeed being a bit too harsh on Xiao Jiu—it was, after all, still young.

Xiao Jiu nodded aggrievedly. It knew everything Boss did was for its own good, so it definitely couldn’t let Boss down. Then it said to Lin Feng, "Again, Boss."

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Over these days, Xiao Jiu’s technique and actual combat ability had improved greatly. With its current strength, facing a Divine Emperor Middle Stage expert was no problem at all.

As for Tangyuan, it sat below watching in boredom the entire time. It even felt Boss was playing favorites—always instructing Xiao Jiu and not caring about it anymore. But it really couldn’t help much either. Who made it so useless that it still couldn’t take Human form...

Seeing that there was nothing much left to explore in this Secret Realm, Lin Feng took Tangyuan and Xiao Jiu and left. From Diyao Peak they looked down the other side of the mountain, planning to continue westward, but the scene before their eyes made them hesitate. They hadn’t expected the other side of Diyao Peak to be an endless wasteland, with not a single village or structure in sight. The boundless plain was crisscrossed with countless cracked chasms, making the entire space look utterly devoid of life.

"Boss, are you sure you want to keep going?" Tangyuan looked at Lin Feng as it spoke. It really didn’t want to go there. Who knew what dangers might appear in that kind of damned place? It was starting to regret telling Boss about Wangchuan Cliff.

Lin Feng nodded, then mounted Xiao Jiu, picked up Tangyuan, and flew straight down from the mountaintop...

In Thunder Valley.

The Sect’s construction was proceeding in an orderly fashion. Gu Tianhai was the busiest of them all. Every day he had to patrol all over to ensure the Sect’s construction went off without a hitch. He walked over to the strategist’s side and said, "Strategist, I’ll have to trouble you to supervise things for the next few days. I’m going with Ma Biaohu to a nearby city to buy some supplies."

The materials they had initially prepared had basically been used up over these days. He had to go out to procure more, and he wasn’t comfortable letting Ma Biaohu go alone. Still, with Han Xuan’er guarding the Sect, he felt at ease. Over these days he’d found that the strategist had a meticulous mind and thought things through thoroughly. There were things he hadn’t thought of that the strategist had already anticipated, and the strategist had also offered many useful suggestions for the Sect’s construction.

"No problem, don’t worry, Brother Gu." Han Xuan’er still used a hoarse voice as she spoke to Gu Tianhai. In fact, she knew Gu Tianhai had long since seen through her being a woman. Someone as shrewd as Gu Tianhai couldn’t possibly not notice. So at the Sect’s residence, Gu Tianhai took great care of her. But she still couldn’t reveal her identity. Watching the Sect slowly take shape, she felt very gratified in her heart. She just didn’t know when Lin Feng would return.

After making sure everything was arranged properly, Gu Tianhai went to find Ma Biaohu. At this moment, Ma Biaohu was teaching Qin Shang martial arts, looking quite proper, completely like a teacher. Gu Tianhai walked over and said to Ma Biaohu, "Let’s go, we need to go make some purchases."

Ma Biaohu nodded, then said to Qin Shang, "Kid, practice well. I’ll be checking when I get back!"

He was thoroughly enjoying his role as master. Still, he had to admit this kid was really quite talented. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling smug.

The two of them went to the entrance of Thunder Valley, boarded Aurora, and left, flying toward a nearby city...

Meanwhile, the white-robed old man was not Cultivating. He was divining through hexagrams. He wanted to know how Fang Yan’s side was doing. Being unable to find a way back for so long made him very worried. After all, the situation had already been extremely dangerous when he left. He was very afraid something might happen to Holy Wind Sect. Right now, the only solution was to wait for Lin Feng to return.

One man and two beasts had been flying over the wasteland for several days. Lin Feng discovered that there truly wasn’t a trace of Human habitation here, and looking out, he still couldn’t see the end of the wasteland. Standing on Xiao Jiu’s back, he extended his Divine Sense and was surprised to find the same situation. His Divine Sense could probe hundreds of thousands of li, yet he still couldn’t sense the edge of the wasteland. It could be seen just how terrifyingly vast this wasteland was.

On this wasteland, there was nowhere to hide. The sun beat straight down on the one man and two beasts. Lin Feng and Xiao Jiu didn’t feel much of anything, but Tangyuan really couldn’t take it, constantly begging Lin Feng to turn back the way they came.

As they flew, Lin Feng mulled over a serious problem in his heart. He felt this was extremely strange. Ever since he arrived in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, there had always been signs of Human habitation in any harsh environment, even the presence of powerful auras. Yet here there was truly nothing at all. Within the range his Divine Sense spread, he could sense nothing either. In his view, the natural environment here was completely livable—at least much better than the Frost Highland in the Northern Part. It was impossible that just because Diyao Mountain blocked the way no Humans had ever entered. What exactly was the reason? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Xiao Jiu had also been flying for many days and was extremely tired. Lin Feng and Tangyuan then jumped down, and the one man and two beasts walked across the desolate plain on foot.

Just then, Lin Feng felt danger approaching. He closed his eyes and extended his Divine Sense, only to discover a vast black mass moving toward them.

Not good!

Such a thought flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. The next moment, he saw countless small insect-type Demon Beasts, each only a few inches long, swarming toward them. A black tide pressed in from all directions, encircling them in the center and slowly closing in.

"Heavens, that’s terrifying—what are those!" Tangyuan clutched Lin Feng’s hem tightly and cried out in fear. It had said they shouldn’t come to this damned place, but Boss just wouldn’t listen. This time they might really end up eaten by these bugs. Just thinking of that made it shiver all over.

Xiao Jiu, however, calmly looked at Lin Feng. It knew Lin Feng would definitely have a way. Watching the bugs crawl closer and closer, it said to Lin Feng, "Boss, why don’t I handle this."

Waving his hand, Lin Feng said, "Let me try."

Then Lin Feng summoned the golden Yuangang from his body. In an instant, countless golden rays converged toward him, and in a flash a golden Yuangang Sphere formed before him, rolling toward those insect-type Demon Beasts, carving a deep ravine across the desolate plain...

"What’s going on?" Lin Feng watched as the golden Yuangang Sphere rolled over countless insects, yet these insects weren’t affected in the slightest and continued attacking them. The Yuangang actually had no effect at all. For the first time he felt a bit flustered; he had no idea what these bugs were.

Seeing this, Lin Feng decided to leave first and think of a plan later. He then took Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan and soared into the sky, looking for another way out. But to his surprise, the moment they left the ground, those insects suddenly sprouted invisible wings and took to the air as well. In an instant, it was as if countless black clouds had appeared in the sky, blotting out the heavens—utterly terrifying.

The insects drew closer and closer, enclosing the one man and two beasts in multiple layers. Tangyuan was already so scared it was about to faint. Seeing this, Lin Feng instantly took a Thousand Miles in One Step and stepped out of the encirclement, appearing in midair a thousand li away.

"Boss, why didn’t you use Thousand Miles in One Step earlier!" Tangyuan finally let out a long breath in relief and complained. It had been scared to death by what had just happened. That feeling wasn’t just terror but also sheer disgust. So many insects flying in the air—if they swarmed onto its body, it would die with not even a scrap left. Just imagining it was horrifying. It absolutely didn’t want to die like that.

Lin Feng ignored Tangyuan’s words and instead extended his Divine Sense. He found that after those bugs lost track of them, they just began to fly about aimlessly in the sky, yet they didn’t leave either. It seemed he had to think of a way to wipe them out, but first he needed to know what they were.

Looking at Tangyuan, still trembling in fear while sitting on Xiao Jiu’s head, Lin Feng said, "Hurry up and check the books. Find out what those bugs are."

Without another word, Tangyuan immediately spat out a pile of books from its mouth and began flipping through them with its little claws. It also wanted to quickly find a solution. It had no desire to encounter something so horrifying ever again.
