Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 454 When Senior Brother and the others return, they will definitely not let you off the hook!

It was November, and the winter wind was blowing across the land.

The long-lost chill made the Dark Silkworm True Lord feel a bit of a coldness.

It has been a long time since such a powerful new Nascent Soul cultivator has appeared in the Sea of ​​No Light, or even the entire Storm Sea.

To have such combat power in less than five years is simply incredible!

Unfortunately, the two sides have already clashed, and there's no turning back now.

"We must treat today as a life-or-death ordeal."

The Dark Silkworm True Lord clearly realized that if things continued like this, he would probably have to follow in the footsteps of the Qin-wielding True Lord.

Now that things have come to this, even if it comes at a price, we must nip it in the bud and eliminate any future troubles!
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his chest.

"By transforming itself into a cocoon, the silkworm of the underworld appears in the world!"

With a low shout, his body was quickly and firmly wrapped in a layer of black silk, as if a silkworm were spinning silk.

The silk thread was not actually silk, but rather formed by the true essence within his body, driven by a secret technique.

In the blink of an eye, he was wrapped up in a giant, pitch-black cocoon.

"what?"

Sensing the change from afar, True Monarch Fubing turned around sharply and exclaimed, "He actually forced out this move!"

Even before he made up his mind to speak up for the person, he had already made different preparations in his mind to deal with different changes in the future.

However, things didn't go as he had anticipated at all.

When he first realized that Xiao Chen hadn't run away, True Monarch Fu Bing felt both anxious and angry.

Young people just don't know when to advance or retreat!

If he dies here in the end, wouldn't I have wasted my time fighting against the Yin Corpse Sect?

However, Fu Bing Zhenjun was soon surprised to find that Xiao Chen's side not only did not fall behind, but even became stronger and stronger.

Despite being outnumbered two to one, he not only had the strength to attack, but also swiftly and decisively killed the Qin Master.

If it had ended here, it would have been a great thing.

However, before True Lord Fubing could even rejoice, he saw that True Lord Mingcan had actually chosen to burn his essence and blood to transform himself into a cocoon.

You should know that this is the opponent's signature move that made them famous, and also their trump card, a desperate measure.

The cost of each use is extremely high, but its effects are also incredibly powerful.

"As for it?"

True Lord Fubing could not understand True Lord Mingcan's thoughts at all.

However, he knew that even cultivators who had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm would face extremely high risks when facing this move, and could easily perish.

Back then, the Yin Corpse Sect fought a major battle with another reclusive sect.

The Dark Silkworm True Lord severely injured a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator on the spot with just this one move.

If it weren't for the other party's brother risking his life to cover him, he would most likely have been killed on the spot.

Even so, it is said that a few years after returning, the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator died because his injuries were too severe to be suppressed.

Right now, the Dark Silkworm True Lord has actually used this move again.

They were clearly going to spare no effort and fight with all their might to deal with Xiao Chen.

"No, I have to go help!"

Realizing the urgency of the situation, True Lord Fubing hurriedly threw a talisman at True Lord Fuguan in an attempt to delay him.

She turned around and tried to meet up with Xiao Chen so that they could share the burden together.

However, before he could leave, he saw two shadowy figures had already circled around behind him, blocking all possible routes.

After all, the Dark Silkworm True Lord and the Coffin-Bearing True Lord were fellow disciples.

While the combination might not be perfect, it is certainly a seamless whole.

The attacks were launched almost simultaneously, leaving no chance for True Monarch Fubing to withdraw and intervene.

The Coffin-Bearing True Lord even went so far as to have his painstakingly crafted Yin Zombie withstand the magic, but he stood firmly in the middle and refused to back down.

It was clear that they were determined to achieve their goal of restraining the zombies, even at the cost of sacrificing one or even all of them.

Faced with this kind of shameless entanglement.

Although True Lord Fubing wanted to go and help, he tried to break through to the left and right to no avail.

They could only watch helplessly as strange patterns appeared on the surface of the giant cocoon not far away, and its volume rapidly expanded.

"Crack!"

With a crisp crack, a hideous fissure appeared on the cocoon.

In an instant, a dense, tangible aura of Yin energy erupted forth, corroding even the rocks and soil in its path.

A silkworm, entirely black and ten feet in size, slowly appeared.

Even from a distance, this Nether Silkworm exudes an aura of extreme danger.

Its body surface glowed with a faint spiritual light, and numerous twisted and obscure runes writhed on each segment of its body.

That's right, those runes looked like countless worms crawling under the skin.

Even more bizarrely, a human face was growing on the top of the insect's head!
Upon closer inspection, he bore a striking resemblance to the True Lord of the Underworld Silkworm.

The face slowly lifted, and its dark eyes darted around, immediately locking onto Xiao Chen, who was closest to it.

The next instant, it opened its mouth and spat out a large clump of silkworm silk. The silkworm silk grew longer in the wind, turning into a huge net that covered the sky and the sun, enveloping Xiao Chen.

As it landed on the outermost Four Symbols Mountain-Suppressing Cover, it immediately emitted a hissing sound.

If you look closely enough, you can even see wisps of smoke rising.

Xiao Chen immediately felt that the rate at which his true essence was being consumed suddenly increased tenfold.

It was as if those weren't silkworm silk at all, but rather channels that were drawing out one's own true essence.

"Hahaha, this doesn't feel good, does it!"

The laughter of the Nether Silkworm True Lord came from the belly of the Nether Silkworm: "I have cultivated for nearly a thousand years, feeding the silkworm with my own body, and finally refined this Soul-Devouring Nether Silk."

"Not only can it devour true essence, but it can also corrode the soul."

"Today, I will let you taste the pain of your soul being annihilated!"

After saying that, a red silk thread shot out, seemingly like a phantom, and directly passed through the Four Symbols Mountain Suppressing Cover.

It pierced straight into Xiao Chen's forehead and rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

It was clearly some kind of secret technique that could directly attack a cultivator's spiritual consciousness!

You should know that this is one of the typical signs of demonic arts!

Most normal Nascent Soul True Monarchs would carefully cultivate the secret methods of divine sense in order to avoid causing damage.

Only demonic cultivators would only care about immediate gains and risk everything to cultivate spiritual attack techniques.

"Ah~!"

Just as the red silkworm was about to succeed, the Nether Silkworm True Lord let out a miserable cry, as if he had suffered some kind of heavy blow.

Along with the Nether Silkworm that he had cultivated at great expense, it immediately twisted its body and rolled around on the spot.

It was quite a coincidence.

The secret technique practiced by the True Lord of the Underworld Silkworm is extremely complex and has a wide variety of effects.

It's not just about attacking a cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness; it also has many other functions, such as influencing the five senses, distorting spiritual perception, and even creating illusions to interfere with judgment.

It's equivalent to incorporating numerous negative effects such as blindness, disorientation, and illusion.

Normally, since divine sense techniques cannot be defended against by ordinary spiritual shields and spiritual energy barriers, these effects become powerful weapons.

Those who are affected often find that their five senses suddenly become less sharp, as if they are drunk.

The spiritual energy within the body is in disarray, making it almost impossible to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world for replenishment. Various hallucinations even begin to appear before the eyes.

In this way, they are basically reduced to fish on a chopping board—at the mercy of others.

Although most people will instinctively use various offensive and defensive spells to resist, it is often to no avail.

However, the Dark Silkworm True Lord happened to encounter Xiao Chen.

The Divine Veil didn't tolerate these negative effects; those red silk threads that dared to pierce his body were almost instantly evaporated.

So, the fact that this attack had no effect was secondary.

The more crucial point is that the red silkworm silk was actually transformed from the divine consciousness of the Nether Silkworm True Lord.

Now that he has been purified by Xiao Chen's divine veil, it is as if someone has directly cut off part of the divine consciousness of the Nether Silkworm True Monarch with a knife.

In other words, it also caused him very serious damage to his consciousness.

It's a classic case of losing both wife and army.

To the eyes of True Monarch Fubing and True Monarch Fuguan, this scene had turned into a terrifying ghost story.

From their perspective, the Nether Silkworm True Lord was aggressively unleashing a secret attack.

As a result, Xiao Chen stood still as if he hadn't done anything, yet he had invisibly and severely injured him.

The Coffin-Bearing True Monarch's eyes widened in disbelief that even his second senior brother's ultimate technique couldn't defeat Xiao Chen.

Fu Bing Zhenjun was completely stunned.

What's going on?

Even though he wasn't far away, as a fellow cultivator, he still couldn't see clearly how Xiao Chen launched his counterattack.

Even afterwards, they couldn't detect any clues or traces!
Are the newly promoted True Lords so powerful that even I can't understand them anymore?

In fact, it's not just them who can't understand.

Xiao Chen was also a little confused at this moment.

Because the red silkworm silk was purified too quickly, he didn't even have time to realize its effect, nor did he discover that it was actually a divine sense technique.

All they heard was True Lord Mingcan utter a harsh remark and then pretend to perform a secret technique.

Then, like someone trying to stage an accident, they started rolling around on the ground, as if they had suffered some kind of major blow.

However, Xiao Chen had gotten used to it. He guessed that it was probably some kind of secret technique with negative effects.

That's normal. Demonic cultivators love to do all sorts of fancy things.

From poisoning to curses, from blood essence to consciousness, it's all just a few methods.

Therefore, Xiao Chen directly interpreted it as the fact that the Nether Silkworm True Monarch had failed in his attempt to cast a curse on him and suffered a backlash.

Although this guess is not entirely correct, the process is roughly the same.

"Oh~!"

Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed softly, "I haven't even exerted my full strength yet, how come you've already fallen?"

"I thought that if we produced such a big bug, it must have some skill, but it turns out it's just a pretty but useless showpiece."

"This is so disappointing."

But despite saying that, the flying needles in his hand did not stop for a moment.

Before the Dark Silkworm True Lord could even recover, he struck directly at the vital point.

"Silk Shield!"

Despite being a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Nether Silkworm True Monarch, even after suffering a severe injury, stubbornly continued his desperate resistance. He no longer hoped to kill Xiao Chen today; he only wished to escape safely back to his sect.

While employing all available defensive measures, he directly appealed for help: "Third Junior Brother, give me a hand!"

Upon hearing this, the Coffin-Bearing True Lord also became anxious.

However, if he wanted to carry out the rescue, he had to ask for the opinion of True Lord Fubing.

In order to forcibly restrain the opponent, he had just killed one of his two Yin Zombies.

The remaining one also suffered some damage in the battle, and its strength decreased by about 20%.

In contrast, although True Monarch Fubing had consumed a considerable amount of true essence, his internal energy remained very stable.

Compared to before the battle, his condition not only did not decline at all, but it also subtly increased by 10% due to the elixir he took during the battle.

At this moment, he used one hand to cast a spell and the other to manipulate the magical artifact, simultaneously suppressing the Coffin-Bearing True Monarch and the remaining Yin Zombie.

Prevent them from going over to provide reinforcements.

If they are at a disadvantage, it would be really difficult for True Monarch Fubing to intercept two people by himself.

However, the situation has now reversed, and the Coffin-Bearing True Lord dares not easily lose another Yin Zombie. With concerns in mind, he is unable to approach it immediately.

He was only delayed for a moment.

Xiao Chen's Azure Wave Penetrating Needle pierced through the silkworm shield and broke through the nascent soul hiding in the tail of the Nether Silkworm.

"Second senior brother!"

The Coffin-Bearing True Lord immediately cried out in pain, his heart filled with rage, fear, and a touch of regret.

What enraged them was that this place was within the territory of the Sea of ​​No Light. When had the Yin Corpse Sect ever suffered such a great loss on their own doorstep?
What's frightening is that now not only has the Nether Silkworm True Lord been killed, but he himself is also in danger.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have agreed to his second senior brother's suggestion to take the initiative.

If they had been patient and waited for their senior brother to return, they could have easily defeated Xiao Chen, and things wouldn't have come to this.

But now it's obviously too late to think about these things.

"Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator, don't be so smug!"

The Coffin-Bearing True Monarch clenched his fist with one hand and pointed his index finger at Xiao Chen with the other: "When Senior Brother and the others return, we will definitely not let you go!"

"And you!"

As he spoke, he turned and pointed at True Monarch Fubing: "You, a rogue cultivator who broke through by sheer luck, dare to collude with the Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator and deliberately ambush us."

"At that time, you and everyone in the Fubing Sect will not be able to escape."

"Our senior brother will skin you all alive and turn you into corpse puppets, serving as slaves of the Yin Corpse Sect for eternity!"

Having uttered those harsh words, the Coffin-Bearing True Lord dared not delay any longer.

He immediately turned and ran away without looking back.

As he spoke, he secretly activated a fourth-tier Wind Travel Talisman, instantly doubling his escape speed to the speed of a whirlwind.

In order to block the enemy from going to provide support, True Monarch Fubing stood between True Monarch Fuguan and Xiao Chen.

It was too late to give chase at this point, and the interception spells cast from afar were blocked by the defensive talismans thrown out by the opponent.

However, just because he couldn't catch up doesn't mean the other party could escape.

Xiao Chen flashed onto the sea surface, and the "Flying Cloud Treading Waves Technique" that he had specially chosen based on the environment of the Eastern Region immediately came into play.

With the waves crashing, it caught up almost effortlessly.

In an environment where the ocean is everywhere, Water Release is incredibly useful. It's just as effective as Wind Release, not to mention the Hextech Amplification.

"stop!"

The Coffin-Bearing True Lord shouted almost hoarsely, "I've achieved the status of a True Lord, so I'm not someone to be trifled with. I'm warning you, you'd better not push me too far!"

"If you don't let me go, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Let's fight to the death, let's all die together!"

Objectively speaking, what he said makes some sense.

The saying "Don't pursue a cornered enemy" applies here as well.

However, Xiao Chen didn't care at all, and even said sarcastically with a smile: "Oh, I've always been timid, so don't scare me."

"They're actually going to fight to the death? I'm so scared!"

However, while speaking, he not only did not slow down his escape speed, but also condensed nine flying needles in his hand again.

“Why are you forcing me!”

The eyes of the Coffin-Bearing True Lord were already red: "Why did you force me!"

However, he didn't hesitate and made a sharp turn, heading straight for Xiao Chen.

Of course, he wasn't hoping to cause mutual destruction through a high-speed collision; he was merely trying to close the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the Coffin-Bearing True Lord flipped his hands over and each grasped a round ball no bigger than a grape.

Just holding it in your hand exudes an extremely powerful aura.

"Then let's die together!"

With a final roar, the Coffin-Bearing True Lord crushed the sphere with a burst of force.

In an instant, two exceptionally powerful forces erupted outwards from him, directly engulfing everything within a radius of a hundred miles.

"Click! Snap!"

The Four Symbols Mountain-Suppressing Cover shattered after only withstanding the first shockwave.

The powerful impact slammed into Xiao Chen, as if a small, moving mountain had crashed into him.

The immense tearing force acted directly on every inch of his skin.

Although the Four Symbols Mountain-Suppressing Shield absorbed most of the force, and my body had been greatly strengthened in the Body Tempering Hall, I was not injured.

However, he was still thrown hundreds of feet away and crashed into the sea.

With a "splash," a large amount of water splashed up.

"No way, you're actually serious!"

Xiao Chen immediately flew out again, shaking off the water droplets.

He immediately looked up at the center of the explosion, hurriedly using his divine sense to investigate the situation: "Could my storage ring have been blown away?"

Although storage rings are not easily damaged, they can still be lost!

If it were to fall into the vast ocean due to the impact, it would truly be like searching for a needle in a haystack!
If it gets swallowed by a passing sea fish, who knows where it will end up?

"Huh? How come this black coffin can fly on its own?"

Xiao Chen couldn't find the storage ring, but instead saw the black coffin that was originally carried on the back of the Coffin Bearer actually fly towards the direction of the Yin Corpse Sect's mountain gate.

Hiss~, a weapon that will return to its sect on its own after its master has gone to extremes.

There's clearly a big problem!

Xiao Chen immediately chased after him, then pressed down on the coffin with one hand and lifted the coffin door open with the other.

It was supposed to contain the remaining zombie, but it has vanished without a trace.

Instead, the Coffin-Bearing True Lord was stripped of his robes, completely naked except for a storage ring in his hand.

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his breathing was extremely weak; he appeared to be in very poor condition.

Upon discovering that the coffin door had been opened, he actually trembled with fear.

She looked up at Xiao Chen tremblingly, completely losing the fierce spirit she had just displayed when she shouted "fight to the death!"

Instead, he forced a fawning smile and stammered as he prepared to speak.

"Soaring Palm!"

Xiao Chen didn't give him a chance to waste words and sent him on his way with flames.

"Fellow Daoist... Ah~!"

The Coffin-Bearing True Monarch let out a miserable cry, and finally mustered his true energy to curse angrily: "My senior brother will definitely avenge me."

"I'm just going ahead; I'll be waiting for you down there!"

Xiao Chen didn't care about the curses filled with resentment and malice that the other party uttered before his death.

Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will soon send your senior brother down to accompany you, along with the other fellow disciples."

After the Coffin-Bearing True Monarch was dealt with, the black coffin also lost its power.

Xiao Chen directly put it into his storage ring, and also took the storage ring of the Coffin-Bearing True Monarch, before turning around and returning to the Island of No Light.

I was so busy chasing after him that I didn't have time to clean up the mess.

After the scourge that was the Nether Silkworm Lord transformed into a giant Nether Silkworm, the corpses that fell to the ground not only became much larger, but also carried a certain degree of contamination.

In just a short time, it had turned the surrounding soil black.

If this thing is left here, even a Golden Core cultivator would find it extremely difficult to deal with, and there's also the possibility that it could be exploited by a rogue cultivator.

So Xiao Chen simply finished it off with a palm strike, burning it to ashes.

Out of consideration for everyone, he also went to the other side and delivered another blow to the corpse of the True Lord of the Zither.

The main idea is that everyone has a share.

Then, Xiao Chen took the initiative to walk to the side of True Monarch Fu Bing with three storage rings: "I am fortunate to have your help today."

"Now that the demonic cultivators have been eliminated, we have also seized three storage rings. Please choose one as my token of gratitude."

Both emphasize that everyone gets a share.

"Let's forget about the storage ring."

True Monarch Fu Bing shook his head: "Firstly, it was my own fault for 'meddling' in other people's business."

"Secondly, I wasn't of much help this time, so I shouldn't take such valuable spoils."

"If Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't mind, just pay me back for the two talismans and one spirit pill I used."

"It's not expensive, it's probably worth 530,000 spirit stones."

The main reason was that the fourth-tier spirit pill he swallowed for the battle was quite valuable; just buying the raw materials alone would cost 200,000 spirit stones.

"That's too little."

Xiao Chen took out one million spirit stones: "Since it's a thank-you gift, it should at least be a round number."

True Monarch Fu Bing did not refuse, but directly accepted the spirit stones: "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"However, I won't take the extra spirit stones for nothing. I'll just give you two pieces of information."

"According to the intelligence I received, the Yin Corpse Sect has been frequently sending people out in recent years..."

He vividly recounted how the Yin Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Sound Sect attempted to openly form a marriage alliance while secretly building a rapport.

Of course, the most important piece of information is that the Yin Corpse Sect has mobilized in large numbers this time, leaving only True Monarch of the Nether Silkworm and True Monarch of the Coffin to guard the area.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xiao Chen was originally thinking about whether he should go to Fu Bing Zhenjun's spirit ship and have a cup of tea with him.

However, upon hearing that the Yin Corpse Sect's protective formation was now unguarded, his eyes lit up.

Without a Nascent Soul True Monarch guarding the place, wouldn't the sect's warehouse be essentially undefended against him?

This is something that can't be delayed; we must set off immediately!
