Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2674 Drying Up

A huge hole opened in the void, forming a void storm, from which the demonic insect's body was about to emerge.

Qin Sang and Luo Luo Demon Lord had not yet actually seen the giant shrimp demon worm, but their minds had been severely impacted.

The enemy was stronger than expected and skilled in void magic. Once entangled, there would be no escape. If this were elsewhere, unless the Vermilion Bird or the Purple Star Child intervened, they would likely both perish in the insects' bellies.

Hopefully the trap will work!

Qin Sang's gaze darkened. He no longer had time to observe the strength of the approaching enemy. He urged the Sun and Moon Swords to continuously slash at the spatial storm, using most of his mind to manipulate the surrounding array flags.

The array flags spun rapidly around him; these flags were specially crafted by him and the Demon Lord Luo Luo for this trap.

Not only did they have array flags, but the two also spared no effort to jointly deduce two spirit arrays, one inside and one outside, forming a mother-child array.

Since these two formations are only applicable to this place and have almost no use elsewhere, they have no intention of naming them.

The dozen or so array flags summoned by Qin Sang are the core array artifacts that make up the 'sub-array'.

The two had a clear division of labor: Qin Sang activated the sub-arrays, while Luo Luo Demon Lord controlled the main array.

The mother formation was outside, and its function was simple: to conceal Qin Sang's actions and the dangerous fluctuations emanating from the void rift, and to create the illusion that they were fleeing in panic.

If someone were to observe from outside the formation at this moment, they would see two figures rushing headlong into the void rift.

From the enemy's perspective, this is perfectly normal.

Two early-stage Demon Lords facing a powerful late-stage Demon Lord have no choice but to flee. Even splitting up to escape might not be effective. Their only way out is to jump into the void rift and leave their fate to chance.

If they're lucky, a tremor might occur just as the giant shrimp-like worms rush in, causing void distortion, allowing them to shake off their pursuers. In this life-or-death moment, there's no time to consider the dangers on the other side of the void rift.

Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo went to great lengths to set up this trap. In the ever-changing battlefield, they believed it could mislead the judgment of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and they only needed to gain a moment!

The real trap was concealed by the illusion. Qin Sang activated the sub-array, and the array flags spun rapidly around him, fluttering in the wind. Suddenly, the flagpole silently melted away, and the flags were ignited, turning into more than a dozen fireballs.

'Shuh! '

'Shuh! '

'Shuh! '

The fireball transformed into more than a dozen streaks of red light, hurtling downwards like meteors.

The fireballs landed precisely at the void rift chosen by Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo.

This void rift is surrounded by several other void rifts, and it is the thinnest and most unique of them all. While the other void rifts are frequented by celestial demons, this one is very 'peaceful', and no celestial demon dares to approach it.

Within the narrow crevice, a red and blue aura floated, as dense as water, like the shimmering surface where magma and seawater meet. Beneath this seemingly beautiful scene, however, lay an unknown danger.

After Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo devised their plan, they began searching for a suitable place to set a trap, and finally found this place.

Within the crimson and blue aura, there emanated a chilling aura. Any celestial demons that approached were swallowed by the halo at the edge of the void rift, first turning into a grayish-white demonic shadow, as if erased from a painting, and finally being wiped from the world.

The spiritual light appeared very stable, but both of them could feel an extremely violent power beneath the calm surface. The reason it hadn't erupted was because the Five Elements Yin Demons were too weak to unleash that power.

This void rift leads to an unknown place, and must be an extremely dangerous place. When Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo first found this place, they were overjoyed.

At this moment, the fireball formed by the array flags crashed into the void rift. Impacted by this force, obvious ripples appeared on the surface of the spiritual light, and the aura that made them tremble became even more pronounced. Fortunately, Demon Lord Luo Luo activated the array to shield the aura.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!'

More than a dozen meteors crashed into the void rift almost simultaneously, instantly creating a violent wave of light.

Qin Sang witnessed firsthand how the colors within the spiritual light rapidly faded, and darkness surged within its depths, as if a colossal dark beast, slumbering deep within a void rift, had been awakened by them.

At the same time, that dangerous aura became so intense that it completely erupted!

"careful!"

Qin Sang was prepared and warned Luo Luo Demon Lord before flashing away.

'Whoosh!'

The darkness, like a surging black tide, finally broke through the blockade of the spiritual light, displaying a terrifying momentum that swept out of the void rift.

At this moment, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo realized that it was not real black, but rather a mixture of intensely colored colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, giving the illusion of black.

'Rumble...'

Composed of the Kuroshio Current, the water appears to be of various colors, as if the waters of the underworld are rushing out of the netherworld, forming an inverted waterfall. The Kuroshio Current surges forward with terrifying force.

It looked like water, but neither Qin Sang nor Demon Lord Luo Luo could tell what kind of power it was.

They were prepared and retreated in time; the surging black tide brushed past them, engulfing their afterimages. In that instant, they felt a chilling cold, a cold that could freeze their souls!

'boom!'

In an instant, the black tide destroyed the great formation!

At the same time, the giant shrimp worm tore through the void, and half of its body emerged from the void storm, with only its tail remaining inside.

It had barely emerged from the void rift when it was met with a devastating blow.

As the saying goes, "strike while the enemy is crossing the river," Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo seized the opportunity perfectly!

Just as it was about to be swallowed by the black tide, the giant shrimp demon worm let out an angry roar. Its crystal-like armor surged with an eerie green light, and the green light flowing within the armor could be seen with the naked eye, seemingly the blood of the giant shrimp demon worm.

In an instant, a giant black ring burst forth from the giant shrimp demon insect's body, forcibly opening another circle of the void rift. Its long tail struggled to break free from the void storm, and it truly descended into this world!

The giant shrimp-like demon glared angrily at the black tide, its dozens of eyes turning into blood-red pupils in fury. With a flash of blood-red pupils, it shot out a gaze that seemed to be tangible.

'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'

The gaze intertwines between it and the black tide, weaving a large net, with silver glints at the edges of the light, a sign that space has been cut open!

Sizzle!

The sound of tearing silk echoed across the battlefield, the void shattered into pieces, and a blinding silver light burst forth amidst the mournful cries. The giant shrimp demon was enveloped in the silver light, which then rapidly faded away.

Seeing this, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo were shocked and secretly thought that something was wrong. They did not expect that the giant shrimp demon insect's supernatural power was so great that it could also find a way to resolve this situation!

Just then, the black tide suddenly changed; the mixed colors suddenly split apart and transformed into countless threads of light of different colors.

These light threads danced wildly, like tentacles, growing rapidly and instantly filling the entire area.

The demons that survived the aftershocks and came into contact with the light threads were wiped out, just like the demons who had mistakenly entered the void rift before.

Even more alarming, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo saw countless threads of light burrowing into other void rifts. This entire area was filled with these threads of light, and the giant shrimp demon worm, a step too slow, was entangled by them just as it was about to escape.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

The light threads that had been entangled with the giant shrimp demon worm broke off one after another, but this aroused the ferocity of the light threads, and countless light threads surged in from all directions.

In an instant, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo lost track of the giant shrimp demon insect, and only saw the giant cocoon of light woven by the crazy light threads on the battlefield.

The roar of the demonic insects, along with the sounds of their magical powers colliding with the light threads, emanated from within the cocoon of light.

Even with the strength of the giant shrimp demon insect, it was unable to break free of the light cocoon for a time. Although it used its supernatural powers to cut countless light threads and was not bound by them, it could not withstand the endless supply of light threads, which could actually seal its void supernatural powers.

The giant shrimp-like demon worm was carried by the cocoon of light and kept falling into the void rift.

"hiss!"

Qin Sang gasped and exchanged a glance with Luo Luo Demon Lord.

Both of them could see the shock in each other's eyes. They seemed to have released something extraordinary. These light threads were so fierce that even a late-stage Demon Lord realm expert could hardly break free. What exactly was it?

This is not the power of extraterrestrial demons. Before the fall, many powerful demons and sects established dojos in the northern demon realm. Perhaps it is the residual power of one of those dojos.

This shows how powerful the dojo's owner was. It's a pity that when the demonic tide came, even such a powerful person couldn't protect the dojo, and it turned into ruins.

"This kind of light filament..."

A strange look flashed across Luo Luo Demon Lord's face. He frowned, as if he had made a connection to something, but he couldn't quite place it. Moreover, he didn't dare to get closer to investigate.

However, now is not the time for deep thought.

The trap worked. It seems the giant shrimp worm will be pulled down by the light threads. Even if it manages to break free in the end, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They dared not rush in to take advantage of the situation. Waiting outside to eliminate the threat would be too unpredictable. If the giant shrimp demon worm was not seriously injured, they would be in danger.

More importantly, demonic insects at the late stage of the Demon Lord realm will definitely receive the care of the Demon Lord of the Cosmic Realm!

Without hesitation, they flew outwards according to their plan, determined to shake off the giant shrimp demon worms during this time.

Now that I think about it, the spider demon worms must have planted their eggs in their domain by relying on the laws of the Demonic Kingdom of the Vermin. Now that they know how the eggs parasitize, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo have already thoroughly examined themselves.

Although the giant shrimp demon worms are far stronger than the spider demon worms, they are at the same level and there is no fundamental difference between them. Once they leave the Demon Kingdom of the Vermin, they will not be able to secretly plant insect eggs on them again.

This cut off the giant shrimp worms' means of tracking them.

At least, the giant shrimp demon worm could no longer tear through the void and descend directly in front of them.

Now it depends on their ability to escape.

They had created various illusions elsewhere in advance to mislead their pursuers, and now those illusions have been activated.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared without a trace.

……

On the battlefield.

This place became the domain of the light threads, and countless demons were swept away by them. It was probably the first time since the Demon Tribulation that the place had been so empty.

The light threads danced wildly, like dense seaweed. Below the light threads, the roar of the giant shrimp demon worm grew weaker and weaker, and the light cocoon had already fallen into the void rift.

Soon, the original few void rifts were torn apart by the light threads and completely connected. This void finally could not bear the burden and fell apart. The void storm continued to devour and spread outward, and this place was completely unrecognizable.

I don't know how much time has passed.

A sharp whistle came from the storm, and the edge suddenly bulged up, extending a giant hammer, which was the forelimb of the giant shrimp demon worm.

With a loud 'boom,' another giant hammer appeared, and then the giant shrimp demon worm burst out from the void storm.

It seemed to have just gone through a great battle; almost all of its bone spurs were broken, and there were several bloody holes on its insect armor with obvious cracks at the edges, indicating that it had been smashed by a powerful force. Green insect blood was flowing out from inside, showing how dangerous the situation had been.

A flash of black light, and the wound healed instantly, but the giant shrimp demon worm's rage was hard to quell.

It wants to tear those two guys to pieces!

Even without the guidance of the insect eggs, how could a mere early-stage Demon Lord realm escape technique outrun its supernatural powers!

The giant shrimp-like demon worm roared angrily, its joints cracking as it raised its twin hammers, ready to smash the void before it, when suddenly the roar abruptly ceased.

It sensed a thought, its pupils constricted as if doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly snapping it out of its rage. Then, it turned around, raised its forelimbs above its head, arched its body, and assumed a strange posture, paying homage to some powerful being.

A moment later, it uttered a low, unintelligible whisper, then a black ring sprang up from beneath it, carrying it toward the Spider Demon's dojo, abandoning its pursuit of Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo.

Even with its strength, performing a void jump is not easy, because the void in the Northern Demon Realm is chaotic and teeming with unknown dangers, and it has just been injured.

In fact, its flight speed was not slow either. It returned to the 'insect field', rushed in directly, flew over many mountains and rivers, and arrived at a mountain hollow.

If Qin Sang were here, he would recognize that this was the Thunder Abyss he had fallen into when he was moved here, but the scene had changed drastically.

Lei Yuan disappeared, leaving behind an abyss in his place.

The giant shrimp demon worm could see into the deepest part of the abyss at a glance and found that the lightning lake inside had dried up and there was no trace of the aura of the netherworld lightning.

The lightning here has been absorbed by someone!

The giant shrimp-like demon worm rushed into the abyss, its black ring sweeping across every inch of the abyss, but found no clues whatsoever.

The thunder seemed to evaporate into thin air.

A moment later, it took off, crossed the 'insect field', and flew to the other end of the insect field.

The insect field is long and narrow, and there are two Thunder Abysses in this field, except that the other Thunder Abyss is much smaller.

When the giant shrimp demon arrived here, it discovered that the Thunder Abyss had also vanished.

It also remembered the third Thunder Abyss, located in the ruins of the Demon Realm, not belonging to any Demon Lord's power, and not far from the Spider Demon Insect's dojo.

When it finally reached the third Thunder Abyss after its arduous journey, the scene before it was as expected: all the Thunder Abysses had dried up.

And it's probably not just this one place, otherwise the Demon Lord wouldn't have been alerted.

Although the Northern Demon Realm has fallen, numerous Thunder Abysses, large and small, still remain. That unique power of thunder has persisted in this realm even after the Thunder Lord's disappearance, enduring for millennia! (End of Chapter)
