Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 166 Nightmare Worm
Ye Xuan stood there, feeling disgusted when he saw the bugs crawling out of the old man.

I saw that the worm was blood red all over, like an earthworm, without a head, and only a black eyeball on the whole body.

As his eyes moved left and right, they could faintly reveal the light of advanced wisdom, but they were extremely cold.

"Hey, kid. This bug of mine is called the Nightmare Bug. I keep it in my head and have only used it twice in the past thirty years. You will be the third person to sleep in its nightmare forever."

Mr. Jing said with great pride.

Cang Yingzi who was standing beside him was amazed, "So the master gave this evil insect to you, junior brother? I thought that after the master passed away, the insect also passed away. However, with this insect, this kid is really dead!"

"Hehe, senior brother. Didn't you also get Master's Ghost Banner? In comparison, your Ghost Banner is Master's natal spiritual weapon, and Master is more partial to you!" Old Jing chuckled.

Cang Yingzi did not answer, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Jing Lao.

"Playing tricks." Ye Xuan pointed his finger.

A miniature golden sword appeared from between his eyebrows and shot towards Jing Lao.

As time went by, he launched another mental attack.

"Junior brother, be careful!" Cang Yingzi was startled and reminded.

When Old Jing saw that Ye Xuan had launched a mental attack on him, his face changed drastically. Facing a mental attack, ordinary defense was of no use at all. He could only close his eyes and leave everything to fate.

But there was a "pop" sound coming from the golden halo surrounding him, and the mini sword released by Ye Xuan hit the golden halo. The golden halo was like rippling water, and ripples appeared. However, the phantom of the sword did not pierce the halo, but was blocked outside by the golden halo and then dissipated into nothingness.

"Huh?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but be shocked. His 'Yuanshi Divine Sword' killed Yi Chen instantly. Qiu Qiangguang, a powerful warrior in the King of Martial Arts realm, was hit by the sword and screamed in pain. However, he was blocked by the golden halo around the old man. It was really unexpected.

After all, his "Original Divine Sword" is known to be invincible at the same level. It seems that the golden halo is a high-level defensive technique specifically designed to defend against mental attacks.

In that case, Ye Xuan's mind moved, and an arc of electricity flowed out from the soles of his feet from the ground.

Although Old Jing blocked Ye Xuan's attack, his expression was ugly, as if he had just walked back from the gates of hell. However, the golden halo around him actually showed faint cracks. If he were to withstand Ye Xuan's second mental attack, it would definitely break.

This made Old Jing feel terrified. He didn't know what secret mental power Ye Xuan had practiced that could make his mental attack so terrifying.

"Go to hell!" The old man roared, and the mental power in his head instantly poured into the evil insect connected to his head.

Suddenly, the evil insect's black eye flashed with black light, but what puzzled everyone was that they did not see the strange evil insect launch any shocking attack, and it was still lying on the old man's head motionless.

But at the moment when the black light in the insect's black eyes flowed, Ye Xuan felt as if a black lightning fell out of nowhere in his mind.

Ye Xuan suddenly became dazed and was surprised to find that he had entered a strange world.

He found himself suddenly entering a bloody space, surrounded by a sea of ​​blood!
And that disgusting and strange insect grew countless times larger, as big as a mountain. It stood in the void like a divine insect, looking down at him coldly, as if it was looking at an ant.

Illusion!

Ye Xuan's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that he must have been under an illusion.

"Hey, human boy, you must think that you are trapped in an illusion. Yes, you can understand it that way, but I want to tell you that my nightmare world is a higher level existence than the illusion. Just give me your soul and martial spirit as food." The insect actually made a sound of human mental waves.

Ye Xuan's expression changed, "Oh, what's the difference in your nightmare?"

“Hehe, my nightmare realm is not comparable to those other ordinary illusions. It is between falsehood and reality. If you dedicate your soul and martial spirit here, you will really die in the outside world because your soul and martial spirit have been devoured by me.” The giant insect sneered.

Ye Xuan looked at the giant insect, nodded, and said, "It is true. You are the soul of the insect. In other words, if I kill you here, the insect outside will also die."

A stream of black air came out of the giant eye of the giant Cyclops, and it said sarcastically, "You still want to kill me in my nightmare realm. How ridiculous and whimsical."

Ye Xuan didn't say anything else. Although his soul was imprisoned in this illusion and couldn't move at all, he remained calm from beginning to end. Although his Star Jade Pupil mainly controlled the power of space, it was also a spiritual martial soul.

Although this nightmare was very strange, Ye Xuan could feel that it would not be difficult to break through this illusion with Xing Yutong's powerful pupil soul.

However, Ye Xuan did not use the Star Jade Pupil, but instead, he thought of a better way.

A golden wheel rose up behind Ye Xuan, spinning slowly and emitting tremendous soul power. On this golden wheel, there was the shadow of a silver dragon, the shadow of a tripod and the green five-star pupil soul.

It is the reincarnation martial spirit!

Ye Xuan thought, since his reincarnation martial soul can devour the souls of humans and monsters, can it devour the souls of insects?

"Ah! What is that?!" The one-eyed insect soul, which was originally arrogant and seemed ferocious, screamed in surprise when he saw the halo martial soul rising in the illusion that looked like the scorching sun.

At this moment, its huge soul body as big as a mountain was trembling, and it felt that the martial soul like the scorching sun was its nemesis and natural enemy.

The insect soul screamed in fear and found that its soul body was emitting white gas under the illumination of the golden light, showing signs of melting. It immediately retreated, wanting to escape from this dream, or send Ye Xuan's soul out of here.

But with a rumbling sound, the Samsara Martial Spirit released a huge absorption force. The huge insect soul, as big as a mountain, screamed in fear, and its soul body was involuntarily sucked away, shrinking rapidly, and finally being completely swallowed up by the Samsara Martial Spirit.

And with the death of this insect soul, the entire nightmare began to collapse.

Outside, Old Jing chuckled. He had noticed that Ye Xuan's eyes were dull.

It’s a long story. Although Ye Xuan’s soul stayed in the illusion for a long time, in the false spiritual world, hundreds of years often passed, while the time outside was only a moment.

Just when Jing Lao thought that his nightmare worm would definitely devour Ye Xuan's soul, he suddenly found that Ye Xuan, who had just had empty eyes, had instantly regained clarity and smiled at him.

"Well, why are you..." Old Jing was stunned, feeling that Ye Xuan's smile was a little weird, but before he could react, he heard a "bang" sound above his head. In the eyes of everyone around, the one-eyed strange insect lying on Old Jing's head exploded without any warning, and a disgusting green gas flowed all over Old Jing's head and face.

"Wow!" Yi Fang and many other female warriors of the Yi family vomited again, with nausea on their faces.

Guan Xiong and other members of the Guan family, as well as warriors from other families around them, looked stunned and dazed.

They thought that the strange and old insect was going to launch some strange and terrifying attack, but in their eyes, they only saw a faint black light flashing in the strange insect's single eye, and then it exploded.

Mu Fanglan opened her mouth slightly. She was originally a little worried about Ye Xuan, but when she saw this scene, her mouth opened into a cute 'o' shape for a moment. She really couldn't understand what this smart old man was doing.

Not only Mu Fanglan and the others couldn't figure it out, even Cang Yingzi's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he angrily shouted, "Junior brother, is it because you gave too much mental power that the nightmare worm exploded your body!"

Jing Lao was stunned for a moment, then he let out a "wow" and spurted out three large mouthfuls of blood again. More wrinkles appeared on his old face, and his spirit was shaken and weak.
