Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Long Yan frowned, his expression solemn. He slowly said, "He's not here... He's at a critical moment of advancement."

Hearing this, Poseidon sighed deeply, then sat down helplessly. His once upright figure seemed to bend slightly under an invisible pressure.

For a moment, the entire scene became unusually quiet; even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. Everyone was silent, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere hung over everyone's heart like a thick, dark cloud.

They all knew that the crisis they faced was unprecedented. Not only were the Soul-Devouring Demonic Insects terrifyingly powerful, their movements were also bizarre and unpredictable. To make matters worse, another equally powerful demonic insect had appeared, undoubtedly exacerbating the situation.

In this gloomy atmosphere, time ticked by, each moment seeming exceedingly long. Finally, the Sea Emperor broke the dead silence. With some difficulty, he stood up again, bowed to Long Yan and the others present, and said, "Dragon Emperor, and everyone else, I'm truly sorry. We, the Sea Clan, cannot remain away from the sea for long. We will take our leave now, and we hope for your understanding." With these words, the Sea Emperor turned to leave, but his steps seemed heavy, as if carrying a thousand-pound burden.

The human Third Prince and his entourage stood up with heavy expressions. They exchanged glances, each seeming to read deep worry and uneasiness in their eyes. Finally, the Third Prince slowly spoke, "Dragon Emperor, this situation is critical, and we have no immediate solution. We don't yet know the specific situation outside or the condition of the wounded, so I'll take my leave." He then bowed slightly.

Long Yan nodded, stood up and returned the greeting.

Soon, only the Orcs remained in the conference hall, still quietly seated. The Bear Tribe leader was the first to break the silence. He abruptly stood up, hands on his hips, and shouted in a voice as loud as a bell: "Your Majesty! The situation is becoming increasingly serious. What should we do?" His gruff voice echoed through the empty conference hall, threatening to shake the roof down.

At this time, Lin Ziyu, who was sitting next to Long Yan, looked at Long Yan with a firm gaze and said softly: "Brother Yan, I want to go to the Death Forest to explore it myself." His voice was calm and his eyes were firm, showing his strong inner determination.

Lin Ziyu's consciousness had just been communicating with the spirit of the ancient spirit tree in the space. The spirit of the ancient spirit tree told him that the demon insect that appeared with the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King was the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King.

This Soul Devouring Demonic Insect King was just lucky enough to absorb a trace of the Soul Devouring Purple Flame's spiritual energy that was scattered by the thunder tribulation, thus gaining the ability to devour souls. It has the power to control the souls of others and can use soul power to attack.

After the Soul-Devouring Purple Flame vanished without a trace in the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation, the Soul-Devouring Demonic Insects, which had previously been a counterbalance to it, lost their natural enemies and began to reproduce and expand unchecked. Eventually, the entire star region could no longer withstand their rampage, and gradually disappeared into the vastness of heaven and earth.

The soul-eating demon worms should have come here through a space wormhole. Lin Ziyu wants to enter the Death Forest to investigate whether there is a space wormhole.

Long Yan couldn't help but frown, a deep worry welling up in his heart. He remained silent, lost in a long period of contemplation. As time passed, the air around them seemed to grow heavier.

It felt like a long time, but in fact it was only a moment. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Ziyu with a firm gaze. He nodded seriously and said solemnly: "Ziyu, let's go together."

Then, Long Yan turned his gaze to the bear chief, wolf chief and others, and instructed in a steady and powerful voice: "This place will be guarded by you for the time being." After that, he stood up without hesitation, walked side by side with Lin Ziyu, and left the conference hall quickly with firm steps.

Their figures gradually walked away, and finally disappeared at the end of the road leading to the Death Forest, which was full of unknown dangers...

The Death Forest was filled with blood-red fog, and visibility was very low. Lin Ziyu walked carefully while telling Long Yan the information he had obtained from the ancient spirit tree.

Soon a day passed, and they had only reached one-third of the periphery of the Death Forest.

After observing the surrounding situation, Long Yan said, "Zi Yu, let's stop here today. Let's take a rest first?" After hearing this, Lin Zi Yu nodded in agreement.

Lin Ziyu and Long Yan carefully concealed their breath and figures in the Death Forest, and slowly walked towards the depths of the Death Forest for seven days before arriving at the place where they last saw the barrier.

Seeing a large hole in the barrier, some strange runes appeared on it, and a faint light flickered. They concealed their presence and approached cautiously.

"Brother Yan, the spatial fluctuations here are very abnormal. What do you think?" Lin Ziyu asked in a low voice.

Long Yan looked forward warily. Just then, a sinister laugh echoed. A pair of dark green eyes slowly emerged from the blood mist. It was the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King. Before they could react, the power of the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King quietly attacked, attempting to invade their souls.

Lin Ziyu quickly mobilized his spiritual power to protect the minds of the two.

"Oh no, we've been discovered. Let's go..."

Long Yan immediately activated his spiritual energy and used space teleportation to quickly take Lin Ziyu away.

"Who is it?" asked the Soul-Devouring Demon Insect King.

"Two little bugs, I'll go and deal with them. Soul Eater, recover your strength quickly." said the Soul Eater Demon Insect King.

Leading countless soul-devouring demon insects, they followed the aura they had locked onto and soon caught up with Lin Ziyu and Long Yan.

Seeing the Soul Devouring Demonic Insect King catching up, Long Yan whispered to Lin Ziyu, "Run separately. I'll lead it away." Although Lin Ziyu was reluctant, he knew it was the best solution. So, the two of them immediately ran in different directions.

The Soul-Devouring Demon Insect King snorted coldly upon seeing this, "Want to escape?" It drove countless Soul-Devouring Demon Insects to chase after Long Yan. It could feel that Long Yan's spiritual power was even stronger.

As he ran, Long Yan cast various spells to hinder his pursuers, but the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King easily shattered these obstacles. Just as he was about to be caught up, Long Yan suddenly stopped and turned, forming hand seals. A dazzling aura of light rushed towards the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King. Unexpectedly, the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King dared to counterattack, and his speed slowed slightly as he dodged.

Elsewhere, Lin Ziyu quietly returned. Taking advantage of the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King's distraction, he snuck in close and offered a blue-glowing bead, a gift from an ancient spirit tree, that possessed the power to purify evil. The bead's radiance instantly suppressed the Soul Devouring Demon Insect King's psychic energy and disrupted the spiritual energy fluctuations surrounding him. Long Yan seized the opportunity and unleashed another powerful attack. The Soul Devouring Demon Insect King was severely wounded and roared in fury, but Lin Ziyu and Long Yan had already escaped, disappearing deep into the dense Death Forest.
