Chapter 379 Stone House
Chapter 379 Stone House
Day after day, year after year, after round after round of consumption, there are less than one-tenth of the immortal-eating insects left in the outside world. Yun Chen has been in this death desert for two hundred years, and nearly a thousand years have passed in the Xuantian Pearl.
During these two hundred years, Yun Chen went out to consume energy every day, and returned to the Xuantian Pearl to recover his mana after being exhausted. After a hundred years, with this intensity of consumption and recovery, Yun Chen's strength surprisingly reached the initial stage of the Golden Immortal. Then, with the blessing of swallowing the Immortal Devouring Insect every day, Yun Chen's current cultivation has reached the peak of the initial stage.
And that group of spirit beasts, after being nourished by the Immortal-Eating Insects over the years, the one with the highest cultivation level has now reached the early stage of True Immortal, while the one with the weakest strength is currently at the Cave-Blood Realm. Perhaps because of sufficient immortal energy and spiritual energy, even the next generation of those spirit beasts will have at least the Cave-Blood Realm.
At this time, the two elders' cultivation had reached the level of Earth Immortals, and Zhang Linger had even reached the level of a mid-stage True Immortal. Ruoxue was a little slower, and her cultivation had also reached the Anti-Yuan realm.
Yun Chen looked at the hundred immortal-eating insects again. After spending thousands of years inside the Xuantian Pearl and being nourished by the corpses of their own kind, they had all reached the strength of the middle stage of True Immortal.
After devouring enough Immortal-Eating Insects, the Sky-Swallowing Crow went straight back to its nest and fell into a deep sleep. It has been over a hundred years since it was last seen.
Seeing the thriving scene inside the Xuantian Pearl at this time, Yun Chen was very excited. He then went out to consume the fairy-eating insects in the Death Desert.
Another sixty years passed.
At this time, Yun Chen was standing in the Death Desert, and around him were a group of spirit beasts that he had raised, catching the last few Immortal Devouring Insects. After a while, no more Immortal Devouring Insects appeared in the Death Desert.
Seeing this, Yun Chen put the group of spirit beasts into the Xuantian Pearl, and then looked at the stone house in front of him.
At that time, I thought there must be something wrong with the stone house as it could stay here safely. However, I later forgot about the stone house because of the value of the fairy-eating insects. Now, all the fairy-eating insects in the Death Desert have been destroyed, and Yun Chen still stepped into the stone house without knowing where the exit was.
After entering the stone house, Yun Chen discovered that it looked very small from the outside, but was extremely spacious after entering. There was nothing unusual inside the stone house. There were dozens of pillars in the spacious stone house, and the ground was paved with some white jade. In the middle was a statue. This statue looked lifelike, and it looked like a fairy-eating insect. Apart from these, there was nothing else here.
Yun Chen searched around the stone house carefully, and finally his spiritual consciousness fell on the statue of the fairy-eating insect in front of him.
Apparently there was something strange about this place, or this statue.
Yun Chen tried to cast a spell on the statue of the Fairy-Eating Bug, and the moment the spell made contact, the statue, which had been standing there quietly, actually moved.
He immediately opened his huge mouth and swallowed the spell, then opened his eyes and looked at Yun Chen. A layer of something like a shell fell off his body, completely revealing his figure.
At this time, Yun Chen also felt the cultivation level of this Immortal-Eating Insect, which had actually reached the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Yun Chen finally understood why among all the Immortal-Eating Insects in the outside world, only a few had reached the level of True Immortal. After all, a long time had passed here, and it was impossible that there were only a few Immortal-Eating Insects with the level of True Immortal. It turned out that the Immortal-Eating Insect with a high level of cultivation was actually in this stone house.
The Immortal Devouring Bug stared at Yun Chen with its scarlet eyes. After taking a closer look, it was surprised to find that this person's cultivation seemed to be on par with its own.
Then, a voice full of anger and threats came out from the sharp mouth of the Fairy-Eating Bug.
"You damned cultivator, you dared to disturb my sleep. You must be tired of living! Since you have come here without knowing the consequences, the only thing waiting for you is death!"
Before he finished his words, the figure of the Immortal-Eating Bug flashed and swooped towards Yun Chen like a bolt of lightning.
Facing the fierce attack of the Immortal Devouring Insect, Yun Chen seemed unusually calm. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and responded with disdain.
"Humph, you want to kill me? Then let's see if you have the ability to do so!"
Just as the Immortal Devouring Bug was about to approach Yun Chen, only ten feet away, Yun Chen suddenly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. In an instant, an extremely powerful force gushed out from his body, instantly forming a huge domain space.
As the power of the domain unfolded, the Fairy Devourer felt as if it was being held tightly by an invisible giant hand. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free and was frozen in mid-air. The Fairy Devourer was shocked and angry at the moment. It twisted its body desperately, trying to get out of this predicament, but it was all in vain.
"Damn it! Let me go, you bastard! Otherwise, I will summon all my kind in the Death Desert and make you wish you were dead!"
The Immortal Devourer roared in frustration. However, Yun Chen was unmoved by its threat, and just shook his head slightly and said lightly.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you, at your Golden Immortal level, to discover the situation in the outside world! Don't you realize that there is no breath of your kind in the outside world at this time?"
After hearing these words, the Fairy Devourer quickly mobilized its powerful spiritual consciousness and rushed out like a tide. Its keen perception continued to spread and explore the surrounding space, but as time passed, it was shocked to find that it could no longer sense the presence of any of its kind.
"How...how is this possible! Could it be that you alone have wiped out so many of our kind? You must know that you are only slightly stronger than me!"
The Fairy Devourer cried out in disbelief, its words filled with shock and unwillingness.
Facing the Immortal Devouring Bug's questioning, Yun Chen's face was as gloomy as water, and he said coldly: "Nothing is impossible in this world. Now that you have spiritual intelligence, let me ask you, how can I leave this place?"
Hearing this, the Fairy-Eating Bug was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter as if it had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Hahahaha, you want to leave here? That's just wishful thinking! I will never tell you the method, just kill me if you have the guts!"
Seeing the Immortal Devouring Bug's arrogant attitude, Yun Chen's eyes flashed coldly. He knew in his heart that the Immortal Devouring Bug was obviously bluffing, but he didn't intend to get too entangled with it. He slowly raised his right hand, and there was a faint light flashing in the palm of his hand, and a terrifying pressure instantly spread.
Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Yun Chen, the Immortal Devouring Bug, which had been pretending to be calm, finally panicked. It shouted in horror.
"Wait! I'm telling you, please don't kill me, I know how to get out of here!"
Seeing the Immortal-Eating Insect begging for mercy, Yun Chen slowly put down his hand that was about to kill it.
"Tell me! How do we leave here?"
The fairy-eating insect quickly told everything it knew.
