820. Find the insect head.
The Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies could no longer improve their strength after reaching the Nine-Star Dou Zun level. Therefore, they only bought Xiao Yan five breaths before being completely devoured by the swarm of insects. The impact of the swarm of insects was really crazy, and the lightning also dissipated quickly. Xiao Yan felt a little pained about this. It was not difficult to rebuild the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies, but that was a clone fused with the earth puppet.
But there was no other way; the time he gained was extremely precious to Xiao Yan. His soul power erupted fully, and the commotion of the insect swarm gave him an opportunity. This time, Xiao Yan locked onto the one who had been hiding and plotting against him.
"finally found you."
Xiao Yan moved his right hand, and a wisp of black flame, seemingly capable of devouring all light, suddenly rose from his palm. It was the mysterious and unpredictable Void Devouring Flame Sub-Flame that he had obtained from Elder Mu Gu!
This fire was related to the Soul Palace, and Xiao Yan remained uneasy. After discussing it with Yao Lao, Xiao Yan was basically certain that the flame was indeed a sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame. Xiao Yan had originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Northwest Region to ask the Void Emperor about it, but given the current tense situation, he had no choice but to use the sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame.
"Clear the way for me!" Xiao Yan shouted, conveying his message to the Void Devouring Flame.
The latter swayed slightly and shot out like an arrow. During this process, the black flame quickly activated its devouring ability, directly swallowing the ancient devouring insects along the way. Seeing this, Xiao Yan also followed closely behind the black flame.
However, the usual feedback of battle qi after devouring a creature did not appear this time. The ancient devouring insect was a natural devouring machine, and even the Void Devouring Flame Fire could not squeeze any oil from its body.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, wondering who had placed such a monstrous thing as the Ancient Devouring Worm in the Heavenly Tomb. Most of the geniuses from the eight clans would probably be wiped out if they faced the Ancient Devouring Worm.
Although he didn't extract any Dou Qi, the black flames cleared a path for Xiao Yan with astonishing speed. Xiao Yan had already known how effective the black flames were back in the Pill Tower, but for safety reasons, he had to restrain his urge to use them. If one day he could perfectly control the black flames, his combat power would be greatly enhanced.
As Xiao Yan followed the strange fire on his journey, the pills he had previously ingested gradually took effect, restoring two or three tenths of his fighting spirit, which was enough to support his continued actions. However, he still needed to end the battle as soon as possible.
Xiao Yan's soul power had taken advantage of the brief moment to completely lock onto the core of the insect swarm. As long as he could kill it, Xiao Yan believed he would have a chance to escape from the sea of insects.
The black flames possessed immense penetrating power, and with Xiao Yan's assistance, they finally tracked down the unique entity within the swarm of insects. The source emanating that unique energy was finally fully exposed, and even Xiao Yan, with his vast experience, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Numerous ancient devouring insects appeared before Xiao Yan, among them one that stood out starkly from the others. It was an ancient devouring insect far larger than its kind, the size of Xiao Yan's fist, its entire body covered in a smooth, jade-like, warm white-green carapace. Most alarming was its head; its compound eyes, unlike the lifeless eyes of other insects, were fixed intently on the charging Xiao Yan. This creature definitely possessed intelligence!
However, the aura of this ancient devouring insect leader was more than one level stronger than that of the other ancient devouring insects beside it. Xiao Yan could tell from a slight sense that this guy was at least as strong as himself.
"An ancient Devouring Insect at the early stage of the Half-Saint realm, no wonder it's been trapping me with these guys."
Now that Xiao Yan had completely locked onto the insect, it seemed somewhat afraid of him, flapping its wings incessantly whenever Xiao Yan focused on it. The surrounding insects, as if driven mad, swarmed towards Xiao Yan again, while the insect turned around and tried to leave.
Having finally found it, Xiao Yan was not about to let it leave easily, so he unleashed his full soul power.
"Hmph, you beast! Let's see where you can hide this time!" If this thing hides again and commands a terrifying number of insects to attack me, the consequences will be unimaginable. I must kill it!
The power of devouring, a black vortex of soul flow!
Having been trapped for so many days, Xiao Yan was also holding back a lot of energy. Now that he had seen the culprit, the power of his two abilities was much stronger than usual.
The two vortexes overlapped and worked simultaneously, attracting all the ancient devourers in the vicinity. The soul vortex swept wildly, devouring and crushing all the ancient devourers that entered it.
The crimson lotus flames surrounding Xiao Yan suddenly surged, the four-colored strange flames intertwined and entwined, the purplish-red light shone brightly, and with the terrifying high temperature that could burn everything, it instantly completely enveloped the leader insect and the space around it.
All the guards surrounding the ancient insect leader were reduced to ashes by this level of explosion.
The safety of the insect leader was clearly crucial to the entire swarm, and insects continued to rush towards them. Xiao Yan released Black Flame, which possessed the ability to fight alone. As a Void Devouring Flame, it couldn't possibly be swallowed by these insects.
However, since Black Flame could no longer extract any Dou Qi, it also began to consume Xiao Yan's Dou Qi. The rapid depletion of Dou Qi constantly reminded Xiao Yan that he had to end the battle immediately.
Under Xiao Yan's control, the strange fire surrounded the ancient Devouring Insect leader. Facing the engulfing sea of strange fire, the leader insect showed no fear in its eyes, but rather a hint of human-like mockery. It did nothing else, except that its shell shimmered with an unusual luster under the reflection of the strange fire.
The crimson star flames surged forward, but they couldn't shake the insect leader at all. On the contrary, the insect's shell only rippled slightly, and it swaggered out of the sea of fire released by Xiao Yan.
The strange fire was completely unable to stop it, and the insect leader once again headed into the distance. Xiao Yan immediately activated his devouring ability to firmly control the insect's body.
Xiao Yan was also taken aback. Ordinary insects would surely die in the face of his four-colored strange fire, but he didn't expect that this leader could ignore the strange fire. This guy's defense was so strong that it even surpassed that of a powerful magical beast of the same level.
However, Xiao Yan immediately realized that since the strange fire was ineffective, he would use even stronger power to crush it!
"What about this!" Xiao Yan's hands flashed as he formed hand seals in front of him, his ten fingers flying so fast they left afterimages.
A beam of light formed from Dou Qi appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. As the beam appeared, it carried an ancient pressure, and the crimson lotus flames further amplified the power of this move.
