Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Nine luminous stones were suspended beside Lin Bai, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Stepping on the flying sword and using his spiritual power to protect himself, Lin Bai cautiously headed towards the depths of the dense forest.

In the forest that blocks out the sun, darkness and miasma linger.

Sharp thorns grew out of the thick plant branches, exuding terrifying toxins.

An unknown strange scream came from the depths of the forest, which was heart-stopping.

While flying, Lin Bai could see the "squirming" of this forest from time to time.

Lin Bai felt that this forest seemed to be alive. Whenever Lin Bai came close, he always felt that they were vigilant about his every move.

"Ho ho ho..."

In the dense forest ahead, there was a painful low cry.

Lin Bai threw a luminous stone over and saw a black-robed man at the peak of the Taoist realm being entangled in several vines and being dragged bit by bit into the weeds.

The vines wrapped around his body and kept squirming, like poisonous snakes wrapping around his body.

At the last moment when he gave up resistance, he saw Lin Bai's luminous stone.

A pair of desperate eyes glowed with a strong desire to survive.

"Help me...save me..."

Hearing his cry for help, Lin Bai looked at him calmly and had no intention of taking action.

Once you are in danger, you must have a heart ready to die at any time.

The reason why Lin Bai stopped and watched was because he wanted to see the methods of this forest and how they killed people.

Although Lin Bai didn't know why the man in black robes ended up in such a mess, seeing him being dragged away by several vines, he probably knew the mystery of this forest.

It's really dangerous.

This small episode passed quickly, and Lin Bai continued to move forward cautiously.

In the forest ahead, there is more than just endless darkness.

And in the darkness... there was a group of small insects with flashing green light, flying back and forth in the forest.

If they were in the outside world, it would be impossible for these bugs to attract Lin Bai's attention.

But here, the moment Lin Bai saw these little bugs, his eyes were cold, and he raised his spirits, not daring to be careless at all.

Using his magic power to condense the sword light around him, Lin Bai walked carefully through the forest.

Those little bugs flashing green light are like fireflies in the world.

When Lin Bai walked through the forest, many insects approached Lin Bai involuntarily, but they were all strangled by the sword light around Lin Bai, leaving no one behind.

Walking through the firefly forest, a stench hit the ground in front of us.

There were waves of air coming from a distance.

"Boom!"

Violent turbulence continued to echo in the space.

"Is there someone fighting?"

Hearing the sound of spiritual collision in the distance, Lin Bai not only did not panic, but showed an excited smile on his face.

Walking in this dark and scary forest, the surroundings are so peaceful that it feels like a hell.

Let Lin Bai remain vigilant at all times.

Now the sound coming from a distance was like the light of dawn in the darkness, giving Lin Bai a feeling of being reborn.

Lin Bai stepped on the flying sword and walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.

"Where have you gone?"

"Did that damn Gu insect escape?"

"try to find!"

"Were all the treasures taken away by it?"

In the forest, the roars of warriors kept coming.

From the voices, Lin Bai heard several familiar voices, namely Fei Lingzi, Luo Wuling, Sun Tianchan and others.

Sure enough, the three forces of Xie Yue Sect, Halloween Mountain, and the Black Robed Man all reached the second level first.

And they seemed to have found the person who took the treasure.

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly became interested. He wanted to see who the person who took away the treasure was.

"It's injured, so it won't be able to run far!"

"All the treasures are on it, we must not let him escape."

"find him!"

The extremely quiet forest immediately became lively.

One by one, strong men in the Taiyi Daoguo realm spread out their spiritual thoughts to explore the surrounding space.

Daluo Daoguo ran rampant, scanning everything in the world with sharp eyes.

"Lin Bai?"

Just as Lin Bai was leaving in search of the sound, a surprised voice suddenly came from the darkness ahead.

"who?"

Lin Bai immediately became alert.

In the darkness, a young man with a cold face walked out.

It was Tu Qing.

"You're here too." Tu Qing didn't seem surprised to see Lin Bai: "You just happened to be here. One more person, and one more strength."

Lin Bai asked: "Have you found the person who took away the treasure?"

Tu Qing nodded: "It's not a human, but a black Gu insect. It's only the size of a fist and its body is black. It's hidden in this dark space, making it difficult to trace."

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "What kind of Gu worm?"

Tu Qing shook his head: "I'm not sure. It's extremely fast, has a clever hiding method, a cunning mind, and many tricks. It was able to slip away from the hands of two Daluo Daoguo realms, and faced dozens of Taiyi Daoguo experts. We were rounded up, but we didn’t even see what it looked like.”

Lin Bai asked: "Then if that's the case, why is it that this Gu insect took away all the treasures?"

Tu Qing calmed down and said: "If you walk forward for a few hours, you can see a towering tree rising into the sky. Under that tree, sitting cross-legged is a skeleton. It is another person who fell here. A man of great supernatural power."

"According to the speculation of Senior Sun Tianchan of the Wansheng Mountain, the great supernatural being buried in this space should be a demonic lord who once caused great turmoil in the demon world, known as the 'Insect King'."

"To this day, the ancient force 'Southern Border Worm Valley' founded by the Insect King in the past is still active in the southern region of the Demon World and is one of the most prosperous forces in the Demon World."

When Lin Bai heard Tu Qing's words, his eyes shrank.

The burial place of the Insect King, the great supernatural being.

One of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm is the Worm Valley of the Southern Border.

Any of these names would be enough to cause shock in the demon world.

If the "Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley" were to learn about the tomb of its founding ancestor, they would definitely rush to search for it.

In order to bring back the remains of their ancestors, they might even go to war with the All Saints Mountain and the Xie Yue Sect.

"When we came here just now, we happened to see...that damn Gu insect take the storage bag away from the remains of the Insect King."

"Senior Sun Tianchan and another Daluo Daoguo strongman used both hands to kill the Gu insect, but they didn't expect it to slip away."

"We then dispersed and hunted down, looking for traces of this Gu insect."

Tu Qing told Lin Bai the whole story in detail.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, understanding what was going on.

"If you don't want to take risks here, then get out as soon as possible."

"But if you want to get some benefits, then it depends on which of us can find the Gu worm first."

Tu Qing said to Lin Bai with a smile.

Lin Bai responded: "Now that I have come here, I naturally don't want to return empty-handed."

Tu Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll go first."

After saying that, Tu Qing went into the darkness, looking for the Gu insects.

After Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, he slowly walked towards the towering tree where Tu Qing said the insect emperor was buried.
