Chapter 341 - 341 341 Devouring the Spirit Pearl

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Devouring the Spirit Pearl Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Devouring the Spirit Pearl Facing such a horrifying existence, Feng Wuchen and the others felt powerless.

“Teacher, with our strength, we simply can’t deal with this monster,” Zhang Junlan said gravely. Though Zhang Junlan had heard of the Swallowing Bug, it was only hearsay; today was the first time he had seen one, and he struggled to remain calm.

Bei Dou Tianye frowned and said, “The Swallowing Bug King is hiding within the beast; there’s simply nothing we can do.”

The monster had reached the level of the Heavenly Human Realm, its power terrifying to the extreme; Feng Wuchen and the others couldn’t do anything about it.

“Roar!”

The monster roared to the sky, its roar deafening. Everyone covered their ears, faces contorted in pain.

The frightful roar echoed through the Desolate Domain as if the Swallowing Bugs were declaring this wasteland their territory.

“Xiao Xiao, take me over,” Feng Wuchen suddenly said, planning to use Ling Xiaoxiao’s barrier to approach the beast.

“Teacher, don’t take the risk!” Zhang Junlan exclaimed, greatly alarmed.

But Ling Xiaoxiao was already condensing a cyan barrier, charging towards the beast with Feng Wuchen.

Sensing danger approaching, the beast roared angrily and violently swiped its massive claw at Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao. The attack was vicious and overwhelming; if hit, the two would undoubtedly turn into mush.

“Hmph!” Ling Xiaoxiao scoffed, fearless.

“Boom!”

The fierce claw struck the cyan barrier with a booming explosion. Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao weren’t smashed into pulp. Instead, the beast’s claw instantly scattered into a vast number of Swallowing Bugs and flew out, its arm severely damaged, and the colossal figure was forced back several steps.

The gigantic body began to disintegrate.

The more ferocious the beast’s attack, the stronger the rebounding force from the barrier.

“How is this possible!” Ye Gucheng and others were so shocked that their eyes bulged, disbelieving what they witnessed.

“What kind of barrier is that? Even the Heavenly Human Realm can’t break through it! Who on earth is she?” Xiao Yun was extremely frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat, unable to suppress the fear in his heart.

The identity of Ling Xiaoxiao was like a riddle that no one could solve.

“Well done!” Feng Wuchen, holding the Dragon God Sword, flapped his wings and shot out like lightning, his fierce gaze locked onto the Swallowing Bug King.

The shaken beast, now unable to keep its balance, could only watch helplessly as Feng Wuchen shot towards it, unable to mount an attack.

The Swallowing Bug King panicked and howled at Feng Wuchen.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, Feng Wuchen arrived and pierced the beast’s body with the Dragon God Sword. The disintegrating Swallowing Bugs had no strength to stop Feng Wuchen.

After several swift movements, Feng Wuchen suddenly appeared before the Swallowing Bug King, the Dragon God Sword resting against it.

The Swallowing Bug King’s body was more than twice the size of Feng Wuchen’s, but now it was motionless.

The Swallowing Bugs, having formed the monstrous beast, fell like black rain.

“Are you afraid? I thought Swallowing Bugs didn’t know fear,” Feng Wuchen said with a slight cold smile, observing the immobile Swallowing Bug King.

The Swallowing Bug King was restrained, and all the Swallowing Bugs stopped, motionless as if they were all dead.

“Feng Brother! The Swallowing Bugs aren’t moving!” Liu Qingyang exclaimed in shock.

“Phew!” Zhang Junlan let out a deep breath and said, “With the Swallowing Bug King restrained, the swarm is no longer a threat. They won’t act rashly.”

Leng Qingfeng and the others sighed with relief, their clothes already drenched with cold sweat.

The situation just now had been extremely dangerous, bringing them to the brink of despair.

“Feng Brother, kill the Swallowing Bug King, and perhaps the rest will retreat,” Leng Qingfeng said urgently. Such a terrifying Swallowing Bug King, if left alive, would harm even more people.

“That’s right! Kill it!”

“Eradicate the Swallowing Bugs! We can’t let them endanger humans!”

“The existence of the Swallowing Bugs is a threat to mankind! We must eliminate them all!”

As Leng Qingfeng spoke up, the others joined in response, and even the geniuses of the Tianyuan Realm agreed.

“Feng Brother! Force it to hand over the Devouring Spirit Pearl! The Swallowing Bug King has the Devouring Spirit Pearl; the power contained within the pearl is immense,” Ling Xiaoxiao urged hurriedly.

“Devouring Spirit Pearl?” Zhang Junlan was momentarily stunned before nodding excitedly, “That’s right! There’s the Spirit Pearl! Teacher! I’ve heard from my grandfather that the Swallowing Bug King indeed has a Devouring Spirit Pearl! Each Swallowing Bug King can condense a Spirit Pearl!”

“Devouring Spirit Pearl?” Feng Wuchen looked at the Swallowing Bug King in surprise, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

“What is the Devouring Spirit Pearl?” Xiao Yun asked, frowning in confusion.

“Contains immense power? What exactly is the Devouring Spirit Pearl?” Leng Qingfeng, with a look of amazement, glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao.

No one present knew about the existence of the Devouring Spirit Pearl, except for Ling Xiaoxiao and Zhang Junlan.

They were puzzled about what treasure the Devouring Spirit Pearl could be.

Even Feng Wuchen didn’t know about it; the Evil Dragon God had never encountered the Swallowing Bugs, nor did he know about the Devouring Spirit Pearl.

Sensing that Feng Wuchen’s gaze bore ill intent, the Swallowing Bug King made a strange sound that seemed to be a plea for mercy.

“Hand over the Devouring Spirit Pearl, and I will spare your life. Additionally, withdraw the Swallowing Bugs back to the palace immediately, or I will kill you right now!” Feng Wuchen said with a faint sneer, not caring whether the Swallowing Bug King could understand.

Feng Wuchen ventured into the Desolate Domain to improve his cultivation, and since the Devouring Spirit Pearl was available, how could he let such an opportunity slip by?

Unmoved by Feng Wuchen’s threat, the Swallowing Bug King watched as Feng Wuchen sneered again, “If you don’t hand it over, I can still get the Devouring Spirit Pearl by killing you! It seems you are asking me to make a move.”

The Dragon God Sword slightly turned, frightening the Swallowing Bug King into trembling, and rapidly it opened its mouth to release a fist-sized pearl that floated out. The pearl radiated multicolored light and was incredibly beautiful, like an unparalleled treasure.

At the same time, the pearl was surrounded by an immensely domineering aura.

“Is this the Devouring Spirit Pearl? This power is indeed formidable.” Feng Wuchen was quite shocked, feeling the immense energy contained within the pearl.

The Devouring Spirit Pearl was hidden within the Swallowing Bug King, and its powerful aura was undetectable.

Feng Wuchen beckoned, and the multicolored Spirit Pearl floated over to him. He gripped it tightly, sensing the overwhelmingly vast energy, his face beginning to show wild joy.

Zhang Junlan exclaimed excitedly, “Teacher, this is the Devouring Spirit Pearl!”

“The energy is terrifying. This is indeed a treasure for cultivation!” Liu Qingyang’s eyes were filled with envy.

“To think that the Swallowing Bug King hid such a terrifying Spirit Pearl within itself!” Ye Gucheng and the others’ widened their eyes at the sight of the multicolored Spirit Pearl, feelings of shock and envious jealousy filling their hearts.

All eyes were locked on the Devouring Spirit Pearl, and everyone wished they could claim it for themselves.

They all had risked their lives on this adventure, nearly dying, and in the end, Feng Wuchen had monopolized the Devouring Spirit Pearl, making anyone feel uneasy.

However, no one dared to speak up unless they believed they had the ability to snatch the Devouring Spirit Pearl from Feng Wuchen’s hands.

“I will keep the Devouring Spirit Pearl. Take your swarm and return to the palace,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, holding the Devouring Spirit Pearl as he sheathed the Dragon God Sword and addressed the Swallowing Bug King.

The Swallowing Bug King immediately made a peculiar sound, following which the swarm of Swallowing Bugs hurriedly burrowed back toward the passageway entrance, streaming back like water flowing into a pipe. In no time at all, the dense masses of Swallowing Bugs had vanished.

Seeing that the Swallowing Bugs had all retreated, Leng Qingfeng and the others finally felt completely relieved.

“That was truly a close brush with death. Treasures are acquired at the risk of life. This trip to the Desolate Domain was well worth it,” Feng Wuchen muttered, quite satisfied with his haul from the journey.

If it hadn’t been for Ling Xiaoxiao’s powerful barrier, Feng Wuchen would never have been able to get the Devouring Spirit Pearl, let alone drive back the Swallowing Bug swarm. They might have all been devoured.

Looking fervently at the Devouring Spirit Pearl, Feng Wuchen said, “With this Devouring Spirit Pearl, I will be able to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm.”

The energy contained within the Devouring Spirit Pearl was immense, more than enough for Feng Wuchen to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm—breaking through to the Fifth Layer wouldn’t be an issue either.

“Congratulations, Brother Feng, on obtaining another treasure!” Ling Xiaoxiao flew over and gave Feng Wuchen a sweet smile.

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen replied with a tender smile, “Thanks to Xiaoxiao’s barrier, otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten the Devouring Spirit Pearl, and we might have become a feast for the Swallowing Bugs.”

“Teacher, why don’t you take this time to absorb the energy of the Devouring Spirit Pearl? With your current level of cultivation, you are not far from a breakthrough,” Zhang Junlan suggested.

Feng Wuchen shook his head and said, “There’s no rush. There are more important things to deal with than cultivation right now.”

“More important things?” Zhang Junlan was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Feng Wuchen meant.

Liu Qingyang asked in confusion, “Big Brother Feng, are there other treasures we haven’t found yet?”

“We have enough treasures,” Feng Wuchen shook his head. Then he continued, “What we need to do now is to find Beiming Kong and Murong Tian. They must still be in the Desolate Domain. While we still have time, we should quickly locate them to prevent them from escaping. It will be much harder to find them once they leave the Desolate Domain.”

“Your Eminence, we will immediately begin the search!” Bei Dou Tianye said respectfully.

Leng Qingfeng said darkly, “Beiming Kong has killed so many of our Fenglan Sect’s disciples; we must not let him go! Let’s search separately!”

“Be very careful; the two of them are not weak,” Feng Wuchen cautioned.

Nangong Li clenched his teeth and angrily declared, “Beiming Kong and Murong Tian both deserve to die! We’ll join the search too!”

Just then, five figures swiftly flew toward them.

They were the five members of Luoyan!

“Is it them?” Feng Wuchen was slightly surprised.

Liu Qingyang furrowed his brows and said, “Big Brother Feng, it’s those five bastards from the Purple Cloud Pavilion!”

Bei Dou Tianye said coldly, “Your Eminence, do you want us to kill them?”

“Let’s see what they want first,” Feng Wuchen shook his head.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

After several swift movements, the five figures appeared, kneeling respectfully on one knee, and said, “We are here to report to Your Eminence and Master Zhang, we have located Beiming Kong and Murong Tian. They are to the north, and we have not disturbed them yet.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen and the others were immediately astonished.

Luoyan and his group had actually brought good news!

Seeing the surprise on Feng Wuchen’s and Zhang Junlan’s faces, Luoyan, worried they might not believe him, hurriedly added, “Your Eminence, we are telling the truth, we wouldn’t dare to deceive. We just want to make amends and hope that Your Eminence will forgive our past misdeeds.”

Liu Qingyang sneered, “You sure are clever.”

“We earnestly beg Your Eminence for mercy!” The five from Luoyan knelt and begged for forgiveness. This was their only chance, and if they didn’t seize it, they might never have the opportunity to make amends.
