The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 188: The Second Generation of Soul Devouring Insects, the Flame Demon Clan

As Yao Chen finished speaking,
On the square, the geniuses of the superpowers all looked at each other in bewilderment. Some showed hesitation, some had firm gazes, and some had solemn expressions...

But no one backed down.

After a moment of silence, a tall man stepped out.

He was broad-set, walked steadily, and wore a hearty smile, giving off a sense of grandeur. However, only his eyes, which occasionally gleamed with a gleam, hinted at his extraordinary abilities.

He stood still, bowed, and said in a loud voice like a bell: "Senior Yao Chen, I am Qin Bubai from the Three Saints Sect, and I am willing to do my part for the Endless Fire Region!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a low murmur of discussion was heard in the square.

"Qin Bubai? Could he be the undefeated chief disciple of the Three Saints Sect who has never been defeated in a battle of the same level?"

"It is said that he has cultivated a peerless magical power and once defeated the chiefs of the seven peaks of the Three Saints Sect. His strength is extremely powerful!"

"Of course not. The Three Saints Sect is a super power with three Immortal-grade Supreme Beings. Even among super powers, they are ranked first-class. The heir of such a great power is naturally extraordinary..."

Qin Bubai's appearance seemed to ignite the atmosphere in the square.

The eyes of all the geniuses were focused on him. Some of them had a flash of fear in their eyes, while others looked eager to try.

At this moment, a slightly sarcastic voice came from the crowd.

"Brother Qin is quite courageous, but that land outside the domain is not the back garden of your Three Saints Sect. Be careful not to get caught off guard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of those who were still discussing froze, and they all looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a man in black clothes walking out slowly. He had a stern look and cold eyes. When he glanced around, he was like a poisonous snake hunting, which was chilling.

"It's Mo Xin from the ancient Futu clan..."

"I heard that he and Xuan Luo are considered the two strongest young people in the ancient Futu clan..."

Someone exclaimed, with a hint of fear in his tone.

Hearing this, Qin Bubai turned his gaze and looked at Mo Xin. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a bad tone: "Mo Xin, the ancient Futu clan is indeed powerful, but you are just the young master of one of its branches. You are far from being the true heir of the ancient Futu clan. Please be polite when you speak."

"Otherwise, the land outside the domain may not be as easy to enter as you think."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became solemn.

Mo Xin's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, a faint smile curling up the corners of his mouth. He said, "It seems that those three old monsters of the Three Saints Sect have given you a lot of confidence, allowing you to dare to speak to this young master like this. Then let's see what the real deal is outside the domain."

"This young master wants to see if the self-proclaimed chief genius of your Three Saints Sect is as amazing as the rumors say."

Qin Bubai's face turned cold and he was about to say something.

At this moment, a soft and slightly charming voice was heard, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Why are you two arguing? You all came here to aid the Endless Fire Territory. The evil tribes outside the territory are our biggest enemy. Why waste time here and only add to the joke?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a woman in a black skirt.

She has an extremely beautiful face, her skin is as crystal clear as white jade, her eyebrows are as soft as a crescent moon, and when she smiles slightly, there is a hint of charm in the corners of her eyes, which seems to be able to captivate people.

But it itself has a kind of holy and noble temperament, which makes that hint of charm appear even more charming.

The quasi-saint girl of the Tailing ancient clan, Bai Xiner!
Qin Bubai and Mo Xin's expressions froze when they heard this. There was no trace of obsession in their eyes, but instead a hint of vigilance. It was obvious that they were quite afraid of this woman.

After a moment, Qin Bubai laughed heartily and said with a fist clasped, "Miss Bai is right. It was us who lost our composure."

Mo Xin looked at Bai Xiner coldly without saying anything more.

Bai Xiner is one of the most famous quasi-saints of the Tailing Ancient Clan. She has the hope of being confirmed as the true saint of the Tailing Ancient Clan in the future.

He could offend Qin Bubai unscrupulously and find an opportunity to kick him out first, but it was not easy to offend the quasi-saint girl of the Tailing ancient clan.

Yao Chen took it all in, nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "The battle to slay demons is no joke. Since no one has withdrawn, I will not say anything more."

"The Demon Slaying War will last for fifteen days. After fifteen days, no matter what the outcome, you must return to the Endless Flame Territory. In addition, I, the Endless Flame Territory, will issue you a teleportation jade talisman."

"Once the fifteenth day is up, you will crush the jade talisman and be transported back to my Endless Fire Territory."

"If you encounter irresistible danger, you can crush the jade talisman and escape in advance. However, at that time, it will be considered as a voluntary waiver, and you will lose the qualification to continue participating in the Alchemy Competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the geniuses in the square looked stern, obviously taking Yao Chen's words very seriously.

Although the transmission jade talisman can save lives, it also means giving up the opportunity to participate in this competition. This is undoubtedly extremely difficult to accept for them who come from super powers and are arrogant.

Yao Chen glanced around and saw that no one had withdrawn. He then waved his sleeves and countless streams of light flew out of his sleeves, turning into white jade talismans that fell in front of the group of geniuses.

The jade talisman was crystal clear, with complex runes engraved on its surface, faintly emitting spatial fluctuations, and obviously contained a powerful teleportation force.

Everyone took the jade talisman and felt the spatial power contained in it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. They all came from powerful forces and naturally recognized that this teleportation jade talisman was a fine product produced by the martial arts realm.

Moreover, it was at least made by a supreme immortal. In that place outside the domain, it is enough to save one's life as long as he does not encounter the attack of the Demon Emperor.

If I really met the Demon Emperor...

Even if they had the holy teleportation jade talisman, they might not be able to escape.

"Brother Lu, this competition is extremely dangerous."

"From what I know, the evil tribes outside the domain have also made moves long ago, sending out geniuses from various tribes, including several of the thirty-two major tribes."

"In my opinion, with Miss Su's strength, it might not be convenient for her to go with you. How about she stay in Yancheng for the time being?"

At this time, at the edge of the square, Xiao Lin said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly, turned to look at Su Qingyin, and said, "Qingyin, what do you think?"

Su Qingyin showed a hint of hesitation when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Mr. Xiao, what you said makes sense. Mr. Xiao, I will wait for you and Miss Xiao to return in Yancheng."

Lu Chen nodded without objecting, and then said, "That's fine. Then you can stay and comprehend the Insect Control Heart Sutra I left for you. If you want to buy any spiritual insects, just go ahead. Here are 50 million Supreme Spirit Liquids for you to use first."

"If it's not enough, wait until I come back."

As he spoke, Lu Chen handed Su Qingyin a Qiankun bracelet.

Since the establishment of the Tianluo Alliance, he has made a fortune from the various natural treasures and sacred objects given to him by the top forces.

Now he already has a huge sum of 500 million Supreme Spirit Liquid on him, so he can still afford the mere 50 million Supreme Spirit Liquid.

Su Qingyin took the Qiankun bracelet with a look of gratitude on her face. She also handed Lu Chen a dusty bag and said softly, "Sir, this is the Sky Devourer I cultivated these past few days by combining the Spirit Devourer and the Spirit Void Worm according to your suggestion."

"This kind of spirit insect inherits the characteristics of the Soul Devouring Insect's extremely fast reproduction and the Spiritual Space Insect's ability to travel through space. Perhaps it will be of some use to you in exploring the lands beyond your domain."

“Has it been cultivated?”

When Lu Chen heard this, his eyes lit up. He took the spirit insect bag and probed his spiritual power into it. He saw that the bag was densely packed with thumb-sized spirit insects.

These spirit insects are grayish white all over, with fine lines on their backs, faintly emitting spatial fluctuations. At the same time, the aura on their bodies is much stronger than that of the spirit-eating insects, and they have obviously entered the supreme realm!
"it is good!"

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Since reaching the Earth Supreme realm, his insect control skills have been greatly reduced. The reason is that maintaining a large number of Soul Devouring Insects consumes too much Supreme Spirit Fluid, which is really painful for him. Now that the second generation of Soul Devouring Insects has been successfully cultivated, he only needs to maintain a population of tens of thousands of spirit insects to unleash the power of the Great Perfection of the Earth Supreme, which can be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs.

At this moment, on the high platform.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Yao Chen waved his sleeves and a huge beam of spiritual light shot out, hitting the huge spiritual formation in the sky.

hum!
Above the sky, the huge spiritual formation like a galaxy suddenly lit up, and countless runes flowed in it, emitting dazzling light.

After a few breaths, a huge light gate emerged in the center of the spiritual formation. Inside the light gate, a desolate and unfamiliar land could be vaguely seen. It was the entrance to the outside world.

"Everyone, the space passage leading to the outer realm has been opened. If you are ready, then let's set off."

Yao Chen's voice echoed over the square like a huge bell, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, all the geniuses looked stern and nodded in agreement.

call out!call out!
Immediately, the sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out between heaven and earth, and countless rays of light shot out and rushed directly towards the teleportation light gate.

"Then I'll leave first, Brother Xiao, see you in half a month."

Lu Chen looked at the countless figures rising into the air, a fiery look flashed in his eyes, and he felt quite expectant.

He turned to Xiao Lin, clasped his fists, and smiled, his tone somewhat heroic.

Xiao Lin smiled calmly, clasped his fists, and said, "When Brother Lu returns, I'll treat him to some fine Fire Spirit Wine. We won't leave until we're drunk."

"Hahaha, okay! It's a deal!"

Lu Chen laughed loudly, then looked at Xiao Xiao beside him and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, please go first, or should I go first?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "You finally remembered me. I thought you two were teaming up."

Lu Chen laughed and waved his hand, saying, "It's all my fault. Please don't be offended, Miss Xiao. In that case, shall we go in together?"

Xiao Xiao curled her lips, but a smile flashed in her eyes, showing that she was not really angry. She immediately said, "Let's go."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, and then the two of them took off into the air together, turning into two beams of light and flying into the light gate.

……

After all the Tianjiao left,

On the high platform, Yao Chen looked around and waved his sleeves. A ray of spiritual light shot out and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge light curtain, floating in front of the white jade platforms.

Rows of names appeared on the light screen. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see the names of the geniuses who were participating in this alchemy competition.

"Everyone, the rankings for this Demon Slayer Battle will be displayed in real time on this screen. I'm sure you're already familiar with how to earn Demon Slayer points. There's absolutely no chance of cheating."

"Next, just wait patiently."

All the Heavenly Supremes on the giant white jade platform nodded slightly without saying much. It was only fifteen days. For them, it was just a short period of time to adjust their breathing.

It won’t be long before we see the results of the first round.

……

In the light gate,

When Lu Chen and Xiao Xiao stepped in, they felt the space around them was turbulent. Their eyes blurred, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a completely different world.

This is a fragmented world, and the air is filled with an ancient and vast atmosphere, as if time has stopped here for tens of millions of years.

In the dim sky, a black setting sun hangs, its light faint and broken, as if torn apart by some invisible force, casting mottled light and shadow.

On the ground, endless ravines were torn open like an abyss. In the dark abyss, there seemed to be no end. The endless darkness was terrifying.

"Is this an extraterrestrial place?"

Lu Chen's face was solemn. As soon as he stepped into this place, he felt that the spiritual power in his body began to stagnate, as if the whole world hated him. In the dark, a vague sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

"To be precise, it's the land outside the domain that borders my Endless Fire Domain. This place was originally the territory of my Great Thousand World. Unfortunately, in ancient times, it was occupied by the evil tribe outside the domain. Under the impact of countless demonic energy and evil spirits, they transformed it into this state."

"The spiritual energy here has been polluted. If you want to recover your spiritual power, you can only rely on taking pills and refining the Supreme Spirit Liquid. Remember not to absorb the spiritual energy here."

At this time, Xiao Xiao walked up to him and said solemnly.

Lu Chen nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder after tens of thousands of years, the gap in strength between my Great Thousand World and the evil race outside the domain has not only not narrowed, but has become larger and larger."

"The methods used by the evil tribe from outside the domain to pollute the world are truly vicious. It will not be easy for them to reclaim our homeland in the universe."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Time is tight. Let's quickly search for the demonic tribes outside the domain. The outside domain is vast, and it won't be easy to obtain enough demon-killing points within half a month."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "You are right, time is running out, we must act quickly."

After saying that, Lu Chen slapped the spirit insect bag on his waist, and hundreds of space-eating insects quickly flew out, turning into hundreds of gray shadows and spreading in all directions.

These spirit insects inherited the spatial talent of the spirit void insects, have keen perception and extremely fast speed, and can detect the traces of the extraterritorial evil race in a short time.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he couldn't help but admire: "These insects of yours are quite interesting. With them, I'm afraid we can save a lot of time."

Lu Chen nodded and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a space-eating insect flew over and landed in Lu Chen's palm, making a slight buzzing sound.

Lu Chen frowned and said, "There are two extraterritorial evil creatures approaching us quickly a hundred miles ahead. I'm afraid we have been discovered."

"So fast?"

A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.

boom!
Suddenly, the surrounding space twisted, and two balls of black flames suddenly emerged. The black flames burned fiercely, and two figures slowly walked out of the flames.

"Hehehe, we caught two more little mice."

"Third brother, I told you, as long as we follow that little bug, we'll soon find where these rats are hiding."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked up and his eyes narrowed slightly. He saw that the hair of the two figures was actually showing signs of burning, like black flames, which was quite strange.

"Be careful, it's the Flame Demon Clan, one of the thirty-two major clans."

Xiao Xiao reminded in a low voice with a hint of solemnity in her tone, and a colorful long sword appeared in her hand.

Lu Chen nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid they'll target us as soon as we arrive. The evil tribe outside the domain should have already prepared a response. These guys are really not easy to deal with."

The taller of the two Flame Demon Clan warriors sneered, "That's good to know. Two mere little rats from the vast universe dare to intrude into my outer domain. You're truly courting death!"

The other man licked his lips, a cruel look flashing in his eyes. "Second brother, stop wasting time talking to them and just get started. It's been a long time since I tasted the flesh and blood of a genius from the universe. I'm really looking forward to it!"

When Lu Chen heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

A large silver seal suddenly floated in his palm, with silver arcs of lightning flashing continuously, emitting a violent fluctuation of spiritual power.

"If you want to devour my flesh and blood, it depends on whether you are qualified enough!"
