The road is vague

Chapter 489 Leaving
Two lightning crystals floated out of Li Mo's dantian and then exploded inside his body.

With the continuous improvement of his cultivation level and the protection of the Demon Shadow Mask, Li Mo is now able to completely suppress the negative effects even after activating the Compound Thunder God Transformation.

boom!
An astonishing spiritual pressure surged, erupting with powerful lightning, and Li Mo's figure suddenly shot into the distance.

"So fast!"

The six eyes of the Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal widened in surprise as it stared at Li Mo's departing figure.

Soon, Li Mo arrived at the outer perimeter of the core area of ​​the Entangling Silk Palace. Several totem poles nearby seemed to sense this, and the totems on their tops appeared to come back to life.

One of the totem poles, the totem of which appeared to be a giant golden beetle, turned its tail toward Li Mo after the spirit was revived and shot out a dazzling golden light.

The light seemed to tear the surrounding space in two.

However, with the sudden acceleration of Lei Wu's Extreme Transformation Technique, he immediately dodged the golden light and rushed out of the range of the golden spiritual light.

Upon seeing this, the Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal, who was following closely behind, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A few dozen feet away, a low hill was swept by the golden light, its summit instantly splitting in two, and countless pebbles slid down.

"Scorpion, what happened?"

A half-human, half-bee Gu Immortal flew over and asked the Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal a question.

"That guy stole the Golden Gu Token!"

"It's stolen! Aren't you supposed to be guarding the Golden Gu Token? How could this be..."

She had only spoken halfway when she noticed the sinister expression on the Scorpion Gu Immortal's face.

This Gu Immortal was known for its brutality in the underground world. Coincidentally, the two had some conflicts, so it stopped talking and chased after the human powerhouse who was forcibly breaking into the totem-sealed area.

Dark, ominous clouds gathered from all directions. As Li Mo sped forward, he raised his head, which was covered by the Shadow Mask, and looked at the clouds affected by the totem poles. The rolling clouds suddenly transformed into a giant rhinoceros beetle, which opened its gaping maw and began to devour him.

"Sealing Technique?"

Li Mo was taken aback and increased his speed again, trying to escape the seal's range, but it was too late.

A terrifying attraction instantly locked onto him, and the lightning spiritual power bursting from his body was continuously drawn away by the distorted attraction around him. Black ash kept falling from the sky, so much so that his lightning speed seemed to be stuck in place under this attraction.

As the saying goes, if you don't row against the current, you'll drift backward.

Li Mo dared not end his Thunderous Transformation state and could only rely on his powerful cultivation to withstand it. However, when the ashes fell on him, he not only felt that everything around him was gradually becoming larger, but also felt a piercing pain, like insects gnawing at his soul, which was hard to resist.

"This is... the power to reach the heavens?"

Although the opponent's overwhelming power was cleverly concealed, its irresistible nature was real. However, because its quantity was too small, similar to Li Mo in the past, only a tiny bit could be summoned.

This totem pole's sealing technique actually uses heaven-reaching power to enhance the sense of pain, thereby weakening the recipient's resistance and increasing the success rate of the seal. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would probably be devoured in an instant if faced with this combination.

The chaotic lightning within Li Mo's body blocked most of the suppressive force, and the black and white colors in his eyes quickly returned.

puff!
At this time.

A Gu Immortal with a human head and a fly's body spewed out a large amount of foul light without saying a word after seeing Li Mo, who was restrained by the sealing technique.

The dark light, like pitch-black ink, enveloped Li Mo, and the surrounding air exuded a rotten sense of order.

However, as this filthy light entered the sealing spell's range, it was also affected by the massive demonic cloud of the rhinoceros beetle in the sky, causing it to be violently distorted and sucked in.

"Don't waste your energy."

The half-human, half-bee Gu Immortal flew over and stopped outside the range of the sealing spell.

She noticed the ash falling from the sky and seemed somewhat frightened, carefully avoiding it.

Then the bee-like Gu Immortal looked at Li Mo, who was shrinking under the influence of the sealing technique and about to be swallowed by the demonic cloud.

"This is an ancient insect-devouring sealing technique. The demonic cloud is directly connected to the specialized offspring left behind by the ancient insect ancestor in a hidden space. The sealed one will be completely decomposed by countless offspring of the ancient insect ancestor and disappear into history. This is a weapon that our Mother Nest Realm specially transported here to deal with the great calamity."

At this point, the bee woman gave a cold laugh.

"Although this sealing technique has only barely opened a crack and summoned a wisp of energy, it is still a force that is difficult for us to resist in our current state..."

However, she had only spoken halfway when a chilling aura suddenly descended from the sky, instantly freezing her soul, and time seemed to slow down.

Crack!

After the ethereal order collided with the order of all things, a bolt of lightning, imbued with heaven-reaching power, burst forth and shot towards the demonic cloud rhinoceros beetle in the sky, colliding violently with it.

All of a sudden.

The Demon Cloud Rhinoceros Beetle, which was opening its mouth wide, trembled violently, and after a brief period of chaos, it completely swallowed the lightning.

Although Li Mo failed to shatter the demonic cloud in one blow, he temporarily escaped the terrifying suction force. His body, which had shrunk, regained its original size as the spiritual pressure within him continued to surge, and it even expanded slightly due to the influence of the Demon Shadow Mask's outer shell.

"Oh?"

The Demon Cloud Rhinoceros Beetle, now stable, released its attraction again, but it was noticeably smaller than before.

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Mo drew the Flowing Gold Fire Sword from behind his back. With the infusion of spiritual pressure, he unleashed the spiritual order that surged within the flying sword, and the intense light instantly engulfed everything around him.

The two Gu Immortals who had been intimidated by Li Mo's overwhelming power awoke amidst this terrifying spiritual order.

The Fly Gu Immortal, who had always maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, suddenly sensed the terror of the human cultivator before him, and a hint of shock and fear appeared in his eyes.

Its own strength is enough to crush me.

Compared to the other party, he was at most barely able to survive. The gap between them was simply too great. What was even more terrifying was that the other party had actually mastered a trace of the power to reach the heavens.

Without saying a word, he immediately turned and ran away.

Have you forgotten our mission?!

The stunned bee woman immediately questioned her.

The fly-like man showed no sign of stopping; all that remained in his telepathic communication was a cold laugh.

"This is the difference between you and us. You have no idea how terrifying this human cultivator is. If you want to die, go ahead and die. I will not work for these disloyal human Gu worm masters. But for the sake of our years of acquaintance, I will take your body back if you die."

Upon hearing this, the bee woman was practically driven mad with anger.

But as she watched the other person walk away, she couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, they were only summoned by the Silver Gu Token. In ancient times, the Nine Caves Gu Immortal did indeed spend a lot of effort to support the Gu Masters. He issued some so-called Gold Gu Tokens and Silver Gu Tokens through resource trading. These were regarded as sacred objects by the weak people of Miao territory at that time and used to fight against the surrounding people, thus forming a unique Miao territory order.

But as time went by, the Miao region developed its own unique culture, and the relationship between the two sides gradually drifted apart.

As for the so-called Golden Gu Token and Silver Gu Token, the reason why they can summon Gu Immortals is not actually due to the effect of a contract.

For the Gu Immortals, this is actually a form of currency.

Each token contains the condensed order of a higher-level being after summoning the power of the heavens. Lower-level beings can use it to unleash a portion of that power, a relatively common means of survival for them during world wars. Fortunately, at this time...

Li Mo was then targeted by the third totem pole.

At the top of this totem pole is a silver cricket, which continuously spews out visible sonic rings, trying to imprison Li Mo.

"Spatial summoning is prohibited here."

As golden ripples spread from Li Mo's right eye, the mouth of the rhinoceros beetle in the sky was suddenly sealed.

The attraction that was being continuously summoned from the mysterious space vanished without a trace in an instant.

Or perhaps the artificially created rift vanished abruptly due to the impact of the ban, and the billowing demonic clouds dissipated, restoring clarity.

As for the surrounding sound wave rings that had been imprisoned, they were forcibly torn apart as the Spiritual Order swept through.

"There are enemies!"

"Stop him..."

Several Gu worm masters from the Entangling Silk Palace released their Gu worms, which rushed towards this side.

However, due to the pressure from the Qian Kingdom's army, the Chan Si Palace had to leave behind a few key people to guard important locations, while everyone else had gone out to fight. Only a few summoned Gu Immortals remained to help protect the Chan Si Palace. Therefore, the Gu Masters who rushed towards Li Mo were only at the Golden Core level.

"what……"

Almost instantly, the spiritual order released by Li Mo incinerated these low-level Gu worm masters.

At this moment, he noticed the Bee Woman standing motionless in the distance. After a brief moment of surprise, he smiled coldly. Since she hadn't made a move, he naturally wouldn't waste any more time here. He immediately rushed out of the influence range of these troublesome totem groups on the ground and left the core area of ​​the Entangling Silk Palace.

The order prohibition suddenly enveloped Li Mo, who had broken out of the totem's order.

All of a sudden.

Li Mo felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and at the same time, the order of the Thunder Dao in the vicinity was obviously weakened. He immediately noticed this well-trained army of cultivators, which numbered about several hundred and were arranged in a neat battle formation.

In the center of the battle formation, a golden token floated, activating the barrier prohibition.

Immediately afterwards, a hairy, human-faced tarantula descended from the sky and viciously pounced on Li Mo. The old woman on the tarantula let out a strange laugh filled with surprise.

"Heh heh! How dare you force your way into the Entangling Silk Palace! This old woman has been bored out of her mind for a long time!"

Crackling!

Just as the human-faced wolf spider was about to pounce on Li Mo, Li Mo stretched out his right hand, and the five-colored ring flashed by, suddenly wrapping around the Gu Immortal's body, forming a temporary restraint.

At the same time, Li Mo held the tiger tally given to him by the Yantu tribe.

With the Golden Gu Token as a comparison, Li Mo gained a deeper understanding of this Tiger Talisman.

Roar!
The golden tiger tally suddenly materialized into a phantom tiger and unleashed a power that seemed to reach the heavens.

Immediately, Li Mo seemed to be enveloped by a fierce tiger. After slapping away the human-faced wolf spider that was imprisoned by the Five Elements Rings, he roared at the distant battle formation, disrupting it, and then continued to fly forward.

"If divine power can be materialized, doesn't that mean that lightning crystals can theoretically be sold?"

Li Mo felt as if a new world had been opened up for him.

There are many ways to summon the power of the heavens, but this direct activation method is undoubtedly the simplest, and it does not have the negative effects of activating the Heavenly Treasure. However, it is somewhat lacking in explosive power and might.

At the same time, Li Mo also clearly felt the difference between the Tiger Tally and the Golden Gu Token. The thing behind the Tiger Tally was obviously dead, but the thing behind the Golden Gu Token was quite active!
After dodging several attacks from magical artifacts, Li Mo arrived at the edge of the great formation.

He noticed that the original passageway had been closed.

The good news is that after being struck by him, the human-faced tarantula seemed to become more cautious, no longer blindly pursuing him, but instead cautiously following behind him.

Judging from the behavior of these Gu Immortals, he understood why the Qian Kingdom's army was able to conquer most of the Miao territory so easily.

The underground Gu Immortals and the Miao Gu Masters have completely fallen out of favor.

After another cold laugh, Li Mo's eyes scanned the great formation and immediately found its weakness. Five Thunderbolts transformed into dust and shot out. The Miao people's formation skills were obviously no match for those of the major powers. Even this so-called Entangling Silk Palace formation was only at the level of an ordinary county town in the Qian Kingdom.

The human-faced wolf spider in the distance hesitated, facing Li Mo, who was enveloped by the power of the tiger talisman.

She too was summoned by the Silver Gu Token. If the opponent's strength were average, she would naturally not mind taking action herself to gain merit. However, if she were to risk being severely injured to fight for these humans, she would be a hundred times unwilling.

Only when Li Mo used Five Thunderbolts to turn to dust and forcibly broke out of the array's coverage area did the human-faced wolf spider breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while.

The Demon Scorpion Gu Immortal chased after them.

"Where are the others!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman's face showed caution, after all, the human-faced wolf spider was known for its ferocity in the underground world.

"Ran."

"He got away? Why didn't you stop him!"

The scorpion's face turned sinister as it tried to approach the other, but the human-faced wolf spider maintained a proper distance.

Seeing the other party's actions, the scorpion could no longer control itself. It roared and spewed out billowing black smoke that enveloped the other party.

The human-faced tarantula was prepared for this and quickly avoided it.

But then the demonic scorpion took out a cicada shell, put it on its body, and suddenly summoned a heaven-reaching power before pouncing. The two fought like wild beasts, tearing and wrestling at each other, with limbs and blood flying everywhere.

After a while.

The human-faced tarantula escaped severely wounded, uttering a vicious curse.

"You actually used this sacred shell to attack me! Sooner or later, you will be swallowed up by the boundless swarm of insects underground!"

After removing the strange insect shell, the scorpion snorted coldly. This time, he finally found an excuse to teach this guy a lesson. However, this guy's background was not simple, so he did not dare to go too far. After removing the holy shell, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and chased after him.

The battle outside the city, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, is nearing its end.

The mortal army suffered countless casualties, partly due to mutual slaughter and partly due to the disruption caused by the order of the high-level cultivators. It was a scene of utter chaos and continuous disasters.

As Li Mo was stealthily moving, he suddenly felt someone watching him, a very strange feeling.

So he noticed the abnormality of the Golden Gu Token through his eyes.

"You have quite the nerve! Aren't you afraid of being discovered and devoured by the Heavenly Secrets?"

Li Mo was now almost certain that the underground world beneath the Nine Caves must be hiding a being above the Nascent Soul stage.

Upon hearing this, the golden Gu, which resembled a cicada, immediately closed its eyes and returned to its dead state.
