The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

"Besides, since I have already decided to follow you for the next few years, how can I just stand by and watch? Judging from your appearance, the person who comes should be very important. I will temporarily return this Ruyi Blade with a slightly stronger origin power to you."

Baohua raised her slender hand calmly and shot a ball of purple light towards Xuyang. Then the shadow of a pink flower tree a hundred feet high appeared behind her, obscuring her figure.

For her, although she had only recovered her cultivation to the early stage of Mahayana, all the opponents she had fought against in the past were famous figures in various worlds. How could there be a strong opponent that she was afraid of in a mere continent in the spiritual world? Naturally, she was sitting on the Diaoyutai.

Xuyang's mind changed. As a large clan that worships the true spirit, the Mayfly Clan may be well-informed. If they find out the whereabouts of the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword, it would be difficult for him to take it out and use it. He raised his head and laughed. Without refusing, he took the purple blade in his hand with a wave of his hand.

"Haha! I'll remember your help this time, and I'll repay you one day."

Then Xuyang shook his body casually, and an extremely cold force that was dozens of times colder than the gloomy cold wind here surged out from the crystal core in his body.

Countless silver flames gathered together, and a silvery full moon about ten feet in size rose from behind.

With the rising sun as the center, the already scarce light in the Styx was stretched and twisted like a solid entity, forming strands of light ribbons that were sucked into the full moon. The area within a thousand feet instantly turned into a deep dark domain, and the cold wind that was whistling everywhere also stagnated instantly.

In order to avoid exposing his identity this time, Xuyang chose to use the Taiyin True Fire. This fire has been accumulating the original power in his body since he ascended to heaven. It has been kept secret for hundreds of years and has never been used against the enemy. However, after condensing the thread of the law, its magical powers are no worse than the other two kinds of the True Yang Fire. It is just suitable for dealing with the current situation where his identity needs to be concealed.

With another wave of his idle hand, a crystal clear silver mace appeared in his hand. He held two short weapons on the left and right and looked in the direction of the person coming.

After a stick of incense, along with a strange shrill sound that seemed to appear next to the ear and grow louder and louder, a huge colorful insect shadow emerged from the gloomy wind at the horizon and stopped thousands of feet in front of Xuyang.

The shadow of this insect was like a combination of a silkworm pupa and a fly, magnified countless times. Its body was so huge that it almost covered the entire sky. Its limbs seemed to be hidden in the desert. Its body was probably more than tens of thousands of feet long. Its pair of pitch-black compound eyes kept flashing strangely, and its translucent wings on both sides kept flapping at a very high frequency. The connected phantom was somewhat like a pair of arms, and the strange scream came from them.

Xuyang hurriedly activated his eyes that could see through the darkness and break illusions, and discovered that the huge compound eyes were like a honeycomb, densely divided into thousands of independent, protruding, shiny black eyelids, all of which were blinking constantly, making people look extremely uncomfortable.

"Boters!?"

Baohua's face turned cold for a moment, but she immediately frowned and said slowly: "No, they are only similar in appearance, but they don't have the golden seal spiritual pattern!"

"The Mayfly Clan keeps a low profile and is not well-known on the mainland. This should be the Xuantian Holy Weapon that the Mayfly Clan refined using the shell and nest of the insect spirit Thousand-Eyed Illusion Fly. They call themselves the Divine Nest."

Xuyang's expression remained unchanged as he spoke softly.

Below the insect shadow was a pitch-black giant insect that was a hundred feet long, and on it stood two ugly monsters who looked very similar.

Both of them were wearing colorful robes, and their bodies were covered with various round beads that looked like insect eggs. One of them was skinny with deep eye sockets and gray hair, while the other was extremely bloated, as fat as a meatball, with his exposed parts covered with slippery white flesh.

At this moment, after witnessing the violent evil spirit nearby, the two of them were already extremely furious, and both had expressions as if their ancestors' graves had been dug up and someone was about to kill them. The skinny old man first swept his gaze over Xuyang and the other two, and after his eyes fell on the flowers, trees, and the dead silver full moon, his pupils suddenly shrank, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes, and his expression couldn't help but become even gloomier.

With a loud bang, a terrifying pressure of magic power rose from the old man's body and pressed forward fiercely, as if he wanted to crush Xuyang and the other man directly to relieve his hatred. At the same time, he shouted in a stern voice:
"I am Xu Ling, the Grand Elder of the Mayfly Clan! Who are you? You took it without permission and destroyed our clan's Styx Holy Land, causing the Yin and Ming Qi to riot! You dare to stay here and provoke us. Aren't you afraid that our clan will capture you, extract your souls and refine your spirits, and eat your hearts with thousands of insects? In addition, where is Brother Jin Yan who is guarding this place? Why did you allow you to do such a thing?"

Xuyang only felt a creaking sound in the void coming from far away, and a huge force pressed on his shoulders. However, with his huge essence at the peak of the Holy Spirit, which was dozens of times more than that of an ordinary great fusion, how could he be shaken by just the momentum? He took it on as if bathed in spring breeze without even moving.

The misty full moon behind him flickered like a flame, and a strange wave instantly swept across the surrounding area for thousands of feet.

"Ka-pa!"

With a sound like solid ice falling and turning into powder, the invisible pressure shattered and disappeared as if a solid entity.

"Your clan's holy land? Why haven't I seen any clear racial markings in the months since I entered this place? As for the so-called golden flame? Who is that? I've never seen it before! Since no one is guarding this place, this place of the True Spirit Remains is ownerless. It's only natural that it will be obtained by those who are destined to take it! There's no question of taking it without permission!"

Xuyang smiled slightly and spoke slowly and calmly, looking as if he had a well-reasoned opinion.

"You! Damn Jin Yan!"

Xu Ling's face froze and he was so angry that he almost went crazy.

Their Mayfly Clan was restrained by the Yin energy of this place. Even the Golden Mayfly-level members would be attacked by the Yin and Dark energy if they stayed here for ten days or half a month. At the very least, their cultivation would be greatly reduced, and at the worst, they would die.

After advancing to the Tianfei level, which is the Mahayana level, although the restraining force was greatly alleviated, it was still impossible to improve the cultivation under the Yin and Ming energy. Naturally, it was not easy to send clansmen to guard it personally, otherwise there would be no chance for Jin Yanhou and others to avoid the disaster here.

The turbulent Yin Qi will cause the spiritual energy of the Yin Bone Mountain Range, which condenses the Divine Milk of the Styx, to become unbalanced, leading to the serious consequence that the Divine Milk of the Styx cannot be condensed!

For his people, taking this magical milk only helps them to condense into a body of Ju Yuan and sense the increase of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. However, its meaning to the body of spiritual insects is completely different. It is the most important strategic resource of the Mayfly Clan.

Not only is it an indispensable spiritual object for many high-level spiritual insects to advance, but this divine milk is also the key to cultivating the legendary gold-eating insect king.

As for the Mayfly Clan, they need to shed their shells nine times before they can reach the Mahayana stage. They need to return to being one, change their era and reshape themselves before they have a chance to advance to the body of a celestial mayfly.

The qualifications of most mayflies are such that they can only shed their shells five or six times before they can no longer continue. Most of those who can shed their shells seven or eight times are already at the golden mayfly level.

When the mayflies below the Mahayana level take this magic milk, no matter what their qualifications are, they can immediately break free from the shackles and shed their shells once or twice, so one can imagine how important this magic milk is to the mayflies!
I regard their elixir of chance as a divine object and divine milk!
Once the Yin energy riots, the Mayfly Clan will have no idea how much it will cost to soothe and straighten out their spiritual veins. It is no exaggeration to say that this will destroy their foundation.

Xu Yang's reason of no one guarding the place certainly meant that Xu Ling would not let this huge loss go unnoticed. However, the fluctuations of the laws revealed by Xu Yang and the others made him extremely wary. After a few moments of silence, Xu Ling suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice:

"The Styx has been controlled by our tribe for nearly a million years. This is known to all nearby tribes! How can you distort the facts with just a few words? Don't waste your time talking nonsense. Just admit that you are the culprit! Be prepared to pay for the consequences of the Yin Qi riot with your entire family and property! If you cannot satisfy us, pay with your life!"

"Brother Xu Ling, it would be a waste to kill them. Let them swear a vow to their inner demons and allow us to plant soul restrictions on them. They will sort out the dark energy for our clan during their lifetime!"

Another Mahayana from the Mayfly clan who was as fat as a meatball also smiled sinisterly and made a very annoying muffled sound, as if hundreds of insect sounds were mixed together.

"Hmph! I agree!" Xu Ling nodded with a cold face. A black aura rolled up on his face, and several gourds with silver light and amazing spiritual energy spurted out. They spun around and opened their lids. Suddenly, all kinds of different low hums and vibrations were heard! Points of light of different colors flew out from them, and quickly grew into various spiritual insects in the void. Some were as big as calves, and some were as small as rice grains, but each one was extremely ferocious and had a very strong aura!
The largest number were golden beetles as big as fists, surrounding a leader covered with purple and gold markings. Each of them seemed to be made of pure gold, with fangs bared and an extremely ferocious aura. As soon as they appeared, they devoured the ubiquitous yin energy in the place.

"Gold-eating bug!? I was wondering where that mysterious feeling of disgust just now came from. It turns out that it is a thing that devours everything just like a borer!" A hint of strangeness appeared on Baohua's face, which had always been as calm as water.

Xuyang looked embarrassed, and said to himself, "I have a lot of important things to do in the outside world, so I can't help you sort out your spiritual veins! Moreover, the Styx here is very important to a treasure in my hand, and I need to collect some of it. I don't have any rare spiritual objects to compensate you, what should I do?"

"Are you trying to tease the two of us?"

Xu Ling's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he laughed in anger. The spirit insects around him began to buzz loudly, and the compound eyes of the thousand-eyed phantom fly behind him began to blink frantically, as if something horrible was brewing.

"Hahahaha! I'm just teasing you! What a joke! The Styx is right here, and you got it a million years ago! But I can't get it today? How shameless of you, you insect!"

Xuyang's embarrassed expression disappeared and he let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Okay! Okay! Then I'll kill you first, and then refine your souls into puppets! Help my clan sort out the negative energy! Die for me!"

Xu Ling was extremely angry and shouted "OK" several times. Without him making any move, dozens of black streams like waterfalls suddenly gushed out of his body, with tens of thousands of black runes the size of rice grains flashing on them, making people feel dizzy at the first sight. They extended upwards to thousands of feet behind him and were still rising wildly, giving a feeling of endless horror.

The next moment, these pitch-black streaks flashed from behind him, and the void fluctuated. They actually ignored the thousands of feet distance between the two sides, and directly crossed the space, appearing not far in front of Xuyang, and stabbed down fiercely, covering the sky and the sun.

It seemed that Xuyang was about to be submerged in it!
As soon as Xu Ling uttered the first word, the bloated Mahayana beside him once again let out an ambiguous sharp roar, and pure white and crystal runes surged out from his body, and his body became bigger and bigger in the rune light!

Then, a strange insect with a body as white as jade and a body thousands of feet long appeared on the spot. It had whiskers on its head, six limbs like mantises, three pairs of crystal wings on its back, and hard hairs standing up like steel drills all over its body. Its two slender eyes flashed, and it raised its six limbs high and disappeared on the spot.

Boo!
The Yin Qi rolled wildly, and an explosion that pierced through the void sounded, and six shocking long white marks were suddenly torn in the void!

The sound was so powerful that it felt like the sky was being torn apart and the earth was being split apart!
The next moment, the figure of a thousand-foot-long monster insect appeared above the treasure flower. Its six monster legs blurred together and slashed towards the treasure flower wildly. It was unknown how many times it swung in a flash!

Amid such a terrifying roar, the delicate woman in white standing gracefully under the flower tree seemed to be about to be chopped to death in the next moment!

"Glorious precious flower."

At some point, bursts of heavenly Buddhist chanting sounds had already been heard all around. Baohua, who was standing under the flower tree, raised her drooping head, casually raised one of her jade arms, gently twisted it behind her, and slowly threw out a pink petal. Baohua herself seemed to be within reach, and appeared strangely thousands of feet away, calmly avoiding this terrifying attack.

As the petals fell, countless colorful Sanskrit characters burst out from the tree, interweaving and flashing, and transformed into a circle of extremely gorgeous halo!

As the light wheel slowly turned, it instantly passed through thousands of empty white marks and appeared next to the strange insect.

Amid the stunned expression of the strange insect, a rich floral fragrance spread out with the halo as the center, and countless pink flower shadows were born from the void. After another breath, the precious flowers, flower trees, and crystal strange insects all disappeared.

There was only a gorgeous halo that was thousands of feet in size and slowly rotating.

As for Xuyang, his eyes flashed with a divine light that could dispel illusions. He ignored the layers of illusions on the black silk and waited until they were about to submerge him. Then he smiled slightly and said one simple word: "Collect!"

As the words fell, a strangely bright and shining silver star suddenly rose from the void above his head. Almost in an instant, it grew to a size of ten feet. Countless silver clouds shot out from it, and a silver hurricane vortex with a diameter of a thousand feet took shape instantly, protecting Xuyang tightly.

The next moment, strange waves emanated from the silver vortex, and the suction force became so strong that the first few black streaks that approached were shattered into pieces, and then disappeared inexplicably!
"The power of the law of space! Return!"

The virtual spirit in the distance showed horror on his face, took a breath of cold air, shouted hurriedly, and made hand gestures repeatedly. The black streak that had not yet fallen was retracted in an instant and reappeared above his head.

However, there were still a few black streaks that were unable to retreat in time and were shattered into pieces after being swept by the silver mist. Then the full moon behind Xuyang flashed, and a silver flame as big as a head shot out. With a 'sizzling' sound, dozens of transparent ice pieces of different sizes appeared instantly within a thousand feet, freezing the broken black light in the void.

At this time, a black mantis phantom similar to its real body appeared faintly behind Xu Ling, with the same six legs and six wings. Each of these legs and wings was connected by a black streak.

However, at the moment, the edges of two of the legs and one of the wings are missing, as if they were bitten off by something. The ends are uneven, and many hard hairs are missing!

"Are you from the Phoenix clan? Or the Skyfish clan of the Shura world?" Xu Ling looked at the injury of the shadow with regret and asked in surprise and doubt.

"Does the Phoenix Clan have any male members? I've never seen one! I've never been to the Shura Realm either. Do you know where it is?"

Xuyang glanced at the ice lightly, and saw that it had restored its original appearance of black hair like steel needles in the ice. He curled his lips in disgust and swept forward with the Fengling Mace in his hand.

"Giggle!"

There was an extremely dull squeezing sound in the void, and seven or eight circles of five-colored air rings exploded layer by layer. Pieces of solid ice turned into powder and dissipated, and the black hair inside no longer existed.

"Bug, if you have any other tricks, use them now! Extract my soul and refine my spirit to make a puppet!"

After doing all this, Xuyang smiled, looking very cheerful.

"Humph! You are not from the Phoenix Clan! How dare you be so arrogant! I hope you can still be so tough after tasting the Divine Nest Insect Sea of ​​my clan!"

Xu Ling's body trembled, and he was immediately furious. He let out a low roar, and injected a tremendous amount of magic power into the Thousand-Eyed Phantom Fly that was tens of thousands of feet tall. At the same time, the round magic weapons hanging on his body all made strange whistles.

On the huge compound eyes of the colorful giant insect, the densely packed honeycomb eyelids suddenly began to blink frantically, and an extremely strange law fluctuation began to accumulate!
After just a few breaths, countless colorful strange insects that seemed real and unreal began to swarm out of the compound eyes frantically, each of them was dozens of feet in size!
Buzz! Buzz!
The colorful colors filled the entire sky almost instantly, forming an endless sea of ​​insects that stretched as far as the eye could see. The strange insects were crowded together, and between heaven and earth, the sounds of countless insect wings flapping merged into one, turning into an invisible transparent light wave that rolled in.

At the same time, the hundreds of powerful spiritual insects at the level of refining and combining the body around Xu Ling also whistled, baring their fangs and blending into the sea of ​​insects. (End of this chapter)
