Chapter 339 - 339 339 Swallowing Bug

Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Swallowing Bug Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Swallowing Bug Hell Palace, gloomy and terrifying.

The faint of heart would surely faint from fright.

Miao Qingqing belonged to the timid sort, her delicate body trembling nonstop, clutching Liu Qingyang’s arm for dear life.

On the other hand, Ling Xiaoxiao, her pretty face showed not the slightest hint of fear, only seriousness.

Coming to such a strange and resentful place, anyone would feel afraid.

If it weren’t for Feng Wuchen taking the lead, perhaps no one would dare venture inside to investigate.

“Big Brother Feng, why do I feel like this place is just like hell?” Miao Qingqing said with a trembling voice, feeling as if eyes were watching her from everywhere.

Liu Qingyang hurriedly comforted her, “Qingqing, don’t be afraid, I’m here!”

“Big Brother Liu, aren’t you scared?”

“I’m even more scared than you! Who wouldn’t be afraid of this ghostly dwelling?”

“Pfft!”

Liu Qingyang’s response inadvertently made Miao Qingqing laugh.

“Teacher, can you sense any aura?” Zhang Junlan asked with a frown, his eyes surveying the grand palace.

“I can’t sense anything here, just these resentful auras!” Leng Qingfeng replied with a frown and a shake of his head.

Supreme Divine Temple,” Feng Wuchen’s gaze turned to the plaque above the main hall.

Zhang Junlan said, “What a domineering name.”

“Brother Feng, this must be the palace of some major power from ancient times. This space should originally have been protected by a barrier. This tunnel seems to have been broken through by enemies, forcibly breaking the barrier,” Ling Xiaoxiao guessed with a frown.

Ling Xiaoxiao’s speculation was somewhat plausible. The pitch-black tunnel did indeed seem like enemies had broken in through a sneak attack, and the palace had no other entrances.

After a pause, Ling Xiaoxiao said doubtfully, “However, what’s strange is, if enemies had broken in, why is there no trace of a fight? Not even a single mark of damage on the palace itself.”

“Perhaps they were discovered, and the Supreme Divine Temple struck back fiercely, pushing the enemies back up into the Desolate Domain,” Leng Qingfeng speculated.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

With a wave of his hand, Feng Wuchen sent dozens of azure flames flying to all sides of the palace, and the dim space suddenly became bright.

The resentful auras seemed to fear the azure flames, all keeping their distance.

The terrifying presence of the azure flames also made the people from Xie Tian wary.

“Teacher, let’s go into the palace and take a look!” Zhang Junlan suggested.

Having been in the plaza for so long without any incidents or dangers, the group felt much more at ease.

The main hall was majestic and stately, symbolizing the grandeur of the Supreme Divine Temple.

Feng Wuchen nodded and was the first to walk towards the main hall, with everyone following. The people behind them occasionally looked back, as if they were afraid someone would appear behind them.

Feng Wuchen pushed the doors and entered, the ancient aura surging from inside, startling everyone.

The great hall was luxurious and grand, like a king’s palace, awe-inspiring and intimidating.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Feng Wuchen spurred on the azure flames and with another sweep of his hand, strands of fire shot out, lighting up the hall instantly with a resplendent glow.

The great hall was enormous, with nine pillars that resembled golden iron standing on both sides. The ancient fierce beasts carved on the pillars seemed alive, as if they could spring into motion at any moment.

The furnishings of the hall were all there, each made from high-grade materials and each worth a fortune.

At the end of the great hall was the king’s throne, imposing and commanding respect, as if the Hall Master of the Supreme Divine Temple was seated there right then.

“This great hall is truly magnificent!” everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Ye Gucheng frowned and said, “I can’t sense any aura from the entire Supreme Divine Temple.”

“Such a grand palace can’t possibly be empty, can it?” the crowd looked somewhat disappointed.

“There is a faint aura,” Feng Wuchen slowly spoke up, just as everyone seemed disappointed.

“A faint aura?” Leng Qingfeng was slightly startled; he hadn’t sensed anything and promptly asked, “Brother Feng, what did you sense?”

“He can actually sense a faint aura!” Ye Gucheng frowned slightly, his gaze turning towards Feng Wuchen, with a flash of shock in his eyes.

Ye Gucheng, being in the Seventh Level of the Tianyuan Realm, hadn’t sensed any aura, yet Feng Wuchen had, causing him to wonder if Feng Wuchen was lying.

“This faint aura is moving rapidly, and there are a great many of them, heading straight for us!” Feng Wuchen’s expression turned increasingly grave as he spoke.

“A great many?”

“Heading straight for us?”

The looks on everyone’s faces changed slightly, some worried, some anxious, others solemn.

“There really is a faint aura!” Just after Feng Wuchen finished speaking, Ye Gucheng’s expression suddenly changed; he had actually sensed a huge number of auras, and he couldn’t help but look at Feng Wuchen in astonishment.

Feng Wuchen hadn’t lied! He truly could sense them!

A moment later, they all sensed the vast number of faint auras swiftly approaching the main hall.

“They’re here! Let’s go out and see!” Feng Wuchen moved first, and the rest hurriedly followed out of the palace doors.

Once outside, the sight of a vast swarm of dark figures completely shocked them!

“What… what is this?” Liu Qingyang’s body trembled, overcome with terror.

“Ah!” Miao Qingqing screamed in panic.

“This number…”

What appeared before them was a dense mass of small monsters, each only the size of a bucket. Despite their faint aura, their numbers were definitely terrifying.

The entire expansive palace, every corner, was covered by these little monsters. The imposing halls were all swarming with these ferocious little creatures, resembling turtles, monkeys, hedgehogs, and so on; exceedingly ugly and quite horrifying.

They were everywhere, surrounding the dozen or so people. The number was countless, calculated by the billions, plunging them into despair!

Even with Feng Wuchen’s composure, he was shaken at this moment.

These small monsters seemed to be announcing to Feng Wuchen and the others that the Supreme Divine Palace was their territory!

“Brother Feng! What… What kind of monsters are these?” Liu Qingyang asked in terror.

“Swallowing Bugs!” Zhang Junlan’s face was filled with horror, he was scared out of his wits.

“Swallowing Bugs?” Leng Qingfeng and the others had never heard nor seen them before.

Zhang Junlan said in terror, “Anything with flesh and blood can be devoured by Swallowing Bugs. Moreover, they breed at a terrifying rate. When you encounter Swallowing Bugs, the only option is to run!”

Feng Wuchen said gravely, “It seems we’ve entered the palace and disturbed them! Now we’re in trouble. If they get out through the passageway, the consequences are unimaginable.”

“Dan Emperor, they’re just some little bugs. They’re not even at the Qi Refining Realm. What’s there to be afraid of? Is it just because there are many of them? With a bit more time, we can sure eradicate them,” sneered a disciple of Xiewang Sect with disdain.

As he spoke, the disciple leapt into the air, summoning the strength of the Second Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, and waved his hand at a large area of Swallowing Bugs in the plaza.

“Stop!” Xie Tian’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted, but it was too late to stop him.

“Boom!

“Buzz!”

A terrifying wave of energy crashed down, and with a loud boom, the vast plaza violently shook and collapsed, turning thousands of Swallowing Bugs to ash.

To the disciple’s shock, the thousands of Swallowing Bugs that were annihilated were instantly replaced by more from behind, as if the thousands hadn’t died at all.

The Swallowing Bugs didn’t retreat at all. Instead, because of the disciple’s attack, the swarm of Swallowing Bugs became enraged and opened their large mouths to launch a frenzied attack.

The speed of the Swallowing Bugs was horrifying. One after another, they crawled into the void, and even though they couldn’t fly, they managed to extend into the void by leveraging their remarkable speed, forming a series of long pythons that blocked the disciple’s escape path.

Seeing this scene, the Xiewang Sect disciple was already terrified out of his wits, and with a face full of fear, he shouted, “Young Sect Master, save… save me!”

Just as the disciple spoke, hundreds of pythons formed by Swallowing Bugs lunged at him with their mouths wide open, and he was swallowed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the man had completely vanished, not even bone scraps were left behind.

The devouring was extremely terrifying.

At the same time, the vast number of Swallowing Bugs also began their attack on Feng Wuchen and the others.

“Xiao Xiao, take them and go!” Feng Wuchen urgently shouted, and with a thought, green flames began to burn on the surface of his body.

Zhang Junlan also immediately enveloped himself in flames.

Any Swallowing Bug that came near was burned to ashes.

Ling Xiaoxiao gathered a green barrier and took Liu Qingyang, Miao Qingqing, and Bei Dou Tianye into the air.

“Let’s go!” Ye Gucheng shouted loudly.

Leng Qingfeng and the others took to the sky toward the passageway at the first opportunity.

“Brother Xiao, save me!”

“Young Sect Master! Quickly, pull me up!”

“Save me! Quickly save…”

Those who were too late to escape, in extreme fear, were instantly devoured by the mass of Swallowing Bugs, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The devouring power of the Swallowing Bugs was extremely terrifying. With such a vast number existing, it wasn’t just Tianyuan Realm practitioners at risk; even Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses could only run when facing Swallowing Bugs!

Pythons formed by Swallowing Bugs were extending toward the passageway with frightening speed.

The just how dreadful would the consequences be if these horrific Swallowing Bugs were to get out!

Hundreds of pythons formed by the Swallowing Bugs army rose to the sky, like pillars reaching for the heavens. The scene was visually striking, extremely spectacular, and utterly terrifying.

The dozen or so people were so scared their hearts nearly leapt out of their chests, never having witnessed such a terrifying sight before.

“Teacher! Don’t let them get out!” Zhang Junlan hollered in terror.

“Move quickly!” Feng Wuchen shouted, as he took out the Dragon God Sword and swung it across, a gigantic golden sword aura stretching dozens of meters flew out, cutting through the long pythons.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Feng Wuchen frantically swung the Dragon God Sword, shooting out dozens of terrifying sword auras.

But it was to no avail. There were too many Swallowing Bugs. Even if Wuchen destroyed tens of thousands, it was as if he had destroyed none at all.

“There are too many of them! Even exhausting all my True Yuan wouldn’t be enough to finish them off!” Feng Wuchen furrowed his brow deeply.

After leading everyone into the passageway, Feng Wuchen gathered a large expanse of green sea of fire and pressed it down. Although the sea of fire destroyed a large swath of Swallowing Bugs, it was still to no avail.

The Swallowing Bugs simply didn’t fear death.

No matter how many died, there were still countless more extending from all directions. They penetrated every nook and cranny, nothing could stop them.

“Dragon’s Roar!”

Feng Wuchen let out a fierce shout, with a dragon’s roar that shook heaven and earth, his presence overwhelming.

As the majestic dragon roar spread, the hundreds of pythons in the high sky crumbled to pieces, and the dense mass of Swallowing Bugs fell.
