The road is vague

Chapter 497 Guess
A crimson light, filled with terror, escalation, and a proliferating aura, is continuously emanating from the distorted space above the altar, polluting the surrounding mountain and sea order.

The air nearby distorted violently and emitted a scream that sent chills down one's spine.

Large numbers of Gu Immortals were engaged in fierce battles from all directions, and corpses kept falling from the sky.

Amidst the rich red light of the Mother Nest, the Scorpion, representing the power of the Queen Mother, looked at the Elder-Sent Thunderfly who had come to stop them.

"Humph."

The intense crimson energy surged from all directions, making the man, whose upper body was already cold and ferocious, look even more terrifying.

He looked up at Lei Ting and let out a disdainful chuckle.

"You think you can stop me?"

He gently waved one of his giant pincers, and a Gu Immortal a hundred feet away, before it could even react, instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, its corpse fragments flying everywhere.

Upon seeing this, the other Gu Immortals fighting nearby screamed and fled.

"Hahaha, get out of here!"

Feeling the continuous influx of the Mother Nest's Order and his ever-growing terrifying power, the Scorpion let out a hearty laugh.

"This is the order of the Mother Nest. You were no match for me before, and now you're courting death!"

Thunderfly's face was gloomy as it hovered in the air.

Behind her were two other Gu Immortals, both high-ranking Gu Immortals urgently dispatched by Elder Bee Queen to stop the activation of the altar.

Although all three were blessed by the order of the mother nest, their strength was clearly several levels below that of the blood spider.

One of the mosquito-like creatures had a large hole pierced through its chest, from which blood was constantly gushing out.

Her left arm was also broken, but tiny mosquitoes were slowly regenerating and healing it, and she glared at the scorpion with gritted teeth.

"You were forced to return only after suffering severe injuries up there. If it weren't for this Holy Shell, how could you have dealt with the three of us!"

That being said, she was helpless.

The golden beetle next to it, looking even more miserable, gritted its teeth.

"If the three of us burn our souls together, even if he has a holy shell, we might still have a fighting chance!"

They truly hadn't expected their luck to be so bad; of all twelve altars, they had run into this demonic scorpion, a creature that had obtained the Holy Shell after being recognized by the Sunborn.

In the underground world, this demonic scorpion is arguably one of the strongest beings after the elders.

Seeing that the power of this altar was constantly merging with the spatial power of other matrix altars, and based on the revelation of last night, this would inevitably plunge the entire underground world into an abyss of no return, the three of them could no longer care about anything else.

They all let out mournful roars, their souls burning, and strange light emanated from their eyes, faintly resonating with the artificial sun. At the same time, the Mosquito Woman took out a silver Gu token, drawing astonishing power from it, and her aura greatly increased.

The three charged toward the demonic scorpion guarding the altar without regard for anything else, and the battle became extremely fierce.

Amidst this chaos and strife.

In the distance, Li Mo and the Vampire Demon continued to approach the altar silently.

Tiny insects were everywhere on the ground, absorbing the red light in the air. The closer Li Mo got to the altar, the more oppressive he felt, while the vampire demon became more and more excited.

"what?"

When Li Mo saw the massive group of Gu Immortals engaged in fierce battle at the altar on the distant horizon, he was quite surprised to find that it was the Demon Scorpion at the center.

Now, after being blessed by the altar, this demonic scorpion seems to have become the ultimate guardian of this place, remaining unmoved in the face of the constant attacks from other Gu Immortals around it.

"So strong."

The old vampire demon also noticed the scorpion and couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

Li Mo narrowed his eyes.

Although the two were far apart, he felt immense pressure from the other.

With the amplification of the Holy Shell and the secondary amplification from the special order here, the demonic scorpion was powerful enough to fight him. However, the changes in the underground world had clearly exceeded his ability to cope. He did not intend to get involved, but planned to investigate it briefly before handing it over to the imperial court.

The vampire demon kept glancing at Li Mo, but Li Mo remained unmoved.

gradually.

In a battle where he fought against three opponents, the Demon Scorpion defeated and killed the Mosquito Woman and the Golden Beetle who came to stop him. The Elders' Gu Immortals gradually collapsed in the battle at this altar.

Bang!
The scorpion, with an arrogant expression, trampled the dying lightning dragon under its feet, revealing a sinister smile.

"go to hell."

Just as he was about to swing his giant pincers to end the life of the thunder dragon, he suddenly felt a strange aura coming from behind him. Although he instinctively dodged, he still screamed and appeared dozens of feet away.

A bloody wound appeared on his back; his prized sacred shell had been torn apart by his opponent.

Scorpion's expression changed drastically. He looked at the stranger who had ambushed him and confirmed that he had never seen this person before, as there was not a trace of his aura about him.

"Who are you!"

Li Mo and the Vampire Demon, who were in the distance, were equally taken aback. The Vampire Demon gasped and looked at Li Mo with a grim expression.

"Who exactly is he? Did you see how he appeared?"

Li Mo slowly shook his head.

The person who suddenly appeared was none other than He Ku.

He appeared out of thin air, and with just a wave of his hand, the demon scorpion who had been laughing and shouting on the altar was severely injured. This person had obviously exceeded the Nascent Soul stage, and his methods were simply incredible.

He Ku, who had failed in his sneak attack on the altar, looked indifferently at the Demon Scorpion, showing no intention of answering him.

A tangible white ripple spread outwards from He Ku in all directions.

Wherever the ripples passed, low-level Gu Immortals disintegrated into countless tiny insects, while the Demon Scorpion spat out blood and was sent flying backward on the spot.

All of a sudden.

The surrounding area fell completely silent, with only the altar continuing to twist and disrupt the order of the Mother Nest Realm.

Li Mo and the Vampire Demon were terrified by what they saw.

Li Mo, in particular, immediately recognized that this was a technique used by a Nascent Soul cultivator to manipulate the power of the heavens, and it was even more sophisticated, far surpassing the skills of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.

However, after launching this attack, He Ku's body clearly showed an unnatural twist, causing him to pause for a moment, as if he was under some kind of pressure. Just as the Demon Scorpion was panting heavily and in a daze in the distance, He Ku had already recovered. He looked at the Demon Scorpion, stretched out his left hand, and pointed it lightly at the other party. The Demon Scorpion immediately felt as if his blood was boiling.

The fear of death made every worm inside his body scream hysterically.

The scorpion immediately used the Holy Shell as a foundation, recklessly absorbing more of the Mother Nest's Order to form a crimson sphere of order in front of it, like a miniature artificial sun.

But this doesn't seem to bring Scorpio any sense of security.

Just as the scorpion was preparing to fight back with all its might, it suddenly froze on the spot, as if locked by an invisible pressure. After its body briefly collapsed and twisted, it suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist and died inexplicably on the altar.

The surrounding area became completely quiet, and everything returned to calm.

As He Ku suddenly turned his head to look at Li Mo and the Blood-Sucking Demon, both of them instantly lost all color in their faces.

next moment.

He Ku, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider, appeared in front of the two, and finally looked at Li Mo.

"Did the Emperor of Qian send you?"

After taking a deep breath and thinking for a moment, Li Mo slowly nodded.

Before he came here, he had indeed met with the Holy Lord Qian Yuan. Although the other party did not explicitly state it, he had given some hints. At this moment, he naturally thought of taking advantage of the powerful figure's influence. Perhaps only the Holy Lord Qian Yuan's background could make the other party wary.

Seeing Li Mo's reaction, He Ku turned his head indifferently and looked up at the sky.

"That saves me from making another trip. This is not something you can get involved in. Go back and tell him that his request has been met. As for whether we can connect with the Southern Continent, that depends on him. Bring that Heaven-Reaching Treasure over as soon as possible."

Li Mo was puzzled, but instinctively thought of what had happened in the Great Northern Wilderness.

Judging from He Ku's tone, it seems that he wants to connect a place called Nanzhan Continent to the main continent in some way. Could this be a fragment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Mountain and Sea Realm, like Aolai Continent?

Considering the changes here, Li Mo couldn't help but make a bold guess.

Could it be that the Holy Lord Qian Yuan has reached a cooperation agreement with this person and intends to utilize this matrix altar in the underground world?
The person in front of me is most likely not from the main continent!

"Alright, may I ask..."

Just as Li Mo was about to subtly inquire about the other party's specific identity, guessing that there might be a powerful and secretive organization in this world beyond his imagination, the red light in the sky suddenly intensified, and then a terrifying aura appeared that suddenly plunged Li Mo and the Vampire Demon into darkness.

Li Mo felt as if he had returned to the time when he was in the Realm of Seizing Heaven. Everything on the distant horizon was being rapidly swallowed by darkness, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only the red light in the sky became clearer and clearer, and he could see a deep crack that was gradually taking shape, turning from illusion into reality.

An enormous centipede is peering over from the other side.

"True Body Power".

Li Mo is no longer an ordinary person.

Looking at this colossal object, he couldn't help but think of those enormous creatures in the sunset, like monsters from a nightmare, beings as large as mountains and stars.

According to the remaining ancient texts, only by advancing to the Refining Void Realm and mastering the power of the true body can one achieve such an effect, becoming no different from the legendary gods, easily influencing the various basic orders of the world, and beginning to indirectly peek into the power of the world's origin.

The centipede, enveloped in an aura of ancient, sublime, and magnificent order, is peering out from the other side of the crack, which has not yet fully materialized.

The cracks are constantly eroding the void, drawing the spacetime between the two worlds closer.

Li Mo's thoughts were somewhat chaotic, and he could only piece together what had happened here based on the limited clues he had.

"The Queen Mother of the Underworld seems to be influenced by evil spirits and wants to... pollute the Mother Nest World? This He Ku and Qian Yuan Saint Lord may have both joined some organization and want to connect the Southern Continent with the Main Continent to indirectly achieve some goal. The other Gu Immortals in the Underworld want to wait until the Main Continent is dead before escaping back to the Mother Nest World to prevent it from being polluted..."

Two dogs fight, play off.

Suddenly, Li Mo thought of something, and when he looked at the crack in the air again, he seemed to understand something and gasped.

Could it be that this secret organization is planning to use the Mother Nest Realm to attract some evil spirits out, thereby relieving the pressure on the Mountain and Sea Realm, and then use these altars to connect the two fragments of the Mountain and Sea Realm and reassemble them?
In other words.

In order to save itself, this organization reached a certain degree of cooperation with evil spirits, just like Li Mo used evil spirits to destroy the Evil Grass Great Witch.
