Chapter 674: Descendants of the Mother of the Stem Borer
After some discussion, Ye Changsheng and his party immediately headed towards the place where the seal was first made.
Ye Changsheng had been to this place once before, but the scene he saw when he came the second time was completely different from the first time.
The originally empty wasteland was now pitch black. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the black light was actually made up of densely packed insects.
There are countless kinds of strange insects, and their number is probably at an unimaginable level.
With this kind of scene, even if the Mayfly tribe came, they would be terrified and dare not get close.
Even so, their numbers are still increasing madly every day, with a reproductive capacity dozens of times faster than that of ordinary insects.
No matter how hard one looks, one cannot see the end of this dark sea of insects. With such a situation, even if a Mahayana cultivator accidentally falls into it, he will be eaten completely, without leaving even a bone.
As early as when cultivators from all walks of life first crossed the sea of insects, many Mahayana beings died as a result.
Now the sea of insects has become even more powerful. Even strong men like Ye Changsheng and Baohua are unwilling to fight these insects head-on.
"It seems that we have to find a way to sneak through. If we kill this sea of insects, it will consume too much energy and it will also easily alert the mother of the borer!"
Baohua looked at the densely packed and wriggling swarm of insects in the distance and said with a slightly changed expression.
Ye Changsheng nodded approvingly: "Once we kill the mother of borers, these insects will no longer be a threat. We don't have to waste time here!"
"Then follow the previously agreed plan!"
Ye Changsheng looked forward, his eyes flashing slightly, and a mysterious power overflowed from his brows, turning into ripples that enveloped him, Baohua and Han Li.
In his mind, he imagined a scene of the three of them appearing on the other side of the sea of insects. The next moment, the laws fluctuated, and his spiritual consciousness and magic power surged out rapidly.
Ming Luo and the others only felt a flash before their eyes, and the next moment they saw Ye Changsheng and the other two had passed through the sea of insects and appeared at the core of the Land of the First Seal.
Due to the deterrence of the ancient sealing power, the borers did not dare to get close to this place. The three of them easily passed through the first barrier that had given the previous Mahayana masters a lot of headaches.
Mingluo, Xielian, Yuansha and others, as well as a dozen demon saints who rushed over after hearing the news, stayed outside, responsible for controlling the size of the sea of insects here and preventing more borers from overflowing.
Seeing that he had changed his position unconsciously without noticing it, Han Li felt a chill in his heart and an incredible feeling surged in his heart.
Is this the power of the law?
But what kind of law is this that is so strange and unpredictable?
So scary!
He was truly horrified, but now was not the time to dwell on it, so he quickly suppressed his emotion and looked forward.
There was an unfathomable abyss shrouded in purple mist, and the underground palace where the Mother of Stem Borers was sealed was at the bottom of the abyss.
"The seal here has been partially controlled by the Mother of the Stem Borer. If we force our way in under normal circumstances, we will definitely alarm this vicious insect!"
"Fortunately, these few days are the period when the vitality of heaven and earth here explodes, and the power of the seal will be weakened to a certain extent!"
"In the past, at this time, the Mother of Stem Borers would often try to break the seal, but now it just happens to give us the opportunity to sneak in!" Baohua said solemnly while looking at the purple mist.
As the former ancestor who had guarded this place for tens of thousands of years, her understanding of the Land of the First Seal is unparalleled in the world, and none of the other saint ancestors in the demon world can compare to her.
What is less known is that Baohua also has the ability to communicate with the spirits of formations, which is truly unique in the demon world.
Of course, what she thought was the spirit of the formation was actually the ancient immortal He Kang, the old ghost at the core of the formation.
This ancient formation was not some spiritual formation, and the so-called spirit of the formation was also created by old ghost He Kang. The people in the demon world did not understand the reason and spread rumors, thinking that this formation was so magical that it could produce its own intelligence.
"It's up to you now!" Ye Changsheng said to Baohua with a smile.
Baohua nodded, and a silver array plate appeared in her hand. She pinched a seal with one hand and continuously cast spells on it.
The silver array plate flickered in his hand, as if it had spirituality.
After a whole meal's time had passed, there was a sudden buzzing sound from the silver array plate, followed by a bright silver light. Countless silver runes rushed out from it, fluttering in the air.
"Now, let's go in quickly!" Baohua's face lit up with joy when she saw the reaction of the array plate. After a delicate shout, she held up the silver plate with one hand, and it turned into a ball of pink light and shot into the depths of the canyon.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng and Han Li immediately followed after a flash of light on their bodies.
After flying downwards for a distance, a soft white light appeared below, and then Ye Changsheng and the other two felt that they were standing on an unusually solid ground.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant square paved with crystal white jade, covering an area of more than one hundred acres. In addition, fist-sized crystal beads were inlaid at regular intervals on the ground, illuminating the place like daylight.
There are seven or eight small paths around the square, winding and leading to nowhere.
Looking up into the sky, I saw purple mist slowly coming in from all directions and rolling up into the sky above the canyon, making the area around the square look a little dark and blurry.
"Let's communicate with the spirit of the formation first, and then see how to solve the problem after we have an understanding of the overall situation of the formation!" Baohua said after looking around.
Ye Changsheng and Han Li certainly had no objection, so they followed the path chosen by Baohua and moved forward.
The road they were walking on passed through a tower-like complex, with tall four-sided towers standing one after another on both sides of the road and everywhere they could see.
These towers are of simple style, with some simple ancient runes all over their surfaces, giving people an extremely vicissitudes of life and antiquity. It is obvious that they have existed countless tens of thousands of years.
After walking forward for a distance in the Tallinn, the three people's vision suddenly widened, and a huge deep pit of about seven or eight feet appeared in front of them.
There were seven or eight half-broken stone towers lying around the giant pit, and countless grooves and sword marks crisscrossed the ground nearby, making it seem as if a fierce battle had taken place here before.
In the center of the giant pit lay a black, charred insect corpse. Judging from its size and shape, only a small part of the wreckage remained.
Although the insect's limbs were incomplete, its remaining ferocious appearance still moved the three people slightly.
The body of this insect corpse is similar to the common stem borers seen outside, with a smooth and shiny shell on the surface, but on its slender neck is an extremely ugly male head.
Although only a small half was left, the eyes, ears, nose and other facial features were all intact, and there was also a head of messy green hair like weeds.
"This is the true offspring of the mother borer!" Baohua said with a serious expression.
"This kind of borer makes people feel disgusted at first sight!" Ye Changsheng said after crossing his arms and carefully looking at the dead body of the borer.
After watching for a moment with great interest, Han Li suddenly shook his sleeves towards the huge pit. With a "bang", an invisible force pushed down, and the remains of the crouching insect corpse rolled over with its belly facing the sky.
In the abdomen of this insect's corpse, there were more than a dozen incomplete limbs, some of which were quite sharp and covered with black bristles, just like those of ordinary insects.
The skin of some other limbs was white and tender, and was extremely similar to that of ordinary people's hands. However, the front end was not shaped like five fingers, but was divided into three fingers, one thick and two thin.
Han Li snapped his fingers, and a series of green sword lights shot out from his fingertips, and with a roll, they cut the insect corpse.
"Bang!" After a crisp sound, a flash of light appeared on the body of the borer, and the sword light was actually bounced back directly.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The sword energy just now contained 20% of his own magic power. If it were an ordinary Mahayana, it would be equivalent to about 50% of his own magic power.
And it couldn't even break the body of this borer.
Han Li released sword energy again, and this time the magic power contained in it was equivalent to the total magic power of an ordinary Mahayana.
After the sword energy
"The strength of the descendants of this mother of corn borers should not be underestimated. Judging from the one that was killed, its strength is probably not far from the Mahayana level!" Ye Changsheng said slowly after seeing this scene.
“No wonder this mother of corn borers was able to run rampant in all realms in ancient times and even the True Immortals could not kill it. If there were enough offspring of this kind…” A solemn look flashed across Han Li’s eyes.
"The mother borer's ability to produce such offspring should be limited, otherwise she would have escaped long ago!" Baohua shook her head.
"Let's go, this kind of borer won't cause us any trouble!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
The three continued to move forward, and soon the scenery in front of them changed, and they appeared in an extremely huge underground cave.
The floor of this cave is covered with light silver sand, but the top is covered with sharp stones like stalagmites. In the center of the cave, there are several figures standing.
As soon as they appeared, these figures immediately made strange hissing sounds and rushed towards the three people at the same time.
Upon closer inspection, they were actually five of the same ferocious insects with human faces and insect bodies that they had encountered just now, and the aura of each of them was extremely powerful.
These human-faced insects are about three or four meters tall, with an extremely ugly male head on their slender necks, and their front limbs hold some crude, stick-like weapons.
The largest human-faced worm in the middle has a light blue shell, while the other four have dark bodies, which are very similar to the remains of the human-faced worm that the three people had seen before.
