Chapter 2689 Insect Demon Devouring the World
The swarm of insects invaded Yuanzaitian.
It wasn't just the demonic insects that invaded Yuanzaitian; each one was a product of the Duzhou Demon Kingdom, meaning that the Dao principles of the Duzhou Demon Kingdom were attached to them, and they entered Yuanzaitian together!
In an instant, the cage was filled with a dark swarm of insects.
Countless demonic insects guarded the giant shrimp demonic insect. They came in all shapes and sizes, some resembling ordinary locusts, while others looked ferocious and beyond human imagination.
At this moment, the demonic aura emanating from the giant shrimp demon worm spread out, and under the influence of this aura, the swarm of worms was undergoing a transformation.
A cacophony of eerie insect chirps filled the air, and the insects grew increasingly agitated, frantically waving their wings and limbs.
This restlessness, like a plague, spread among the insects, making their expressions even more ferocious, and even causing their bodies to change, growing strange and grotesque things.
Gradually, their insect eyes seemed to be filled with a bloodthirsty aura, their eyes revealing a fierce light as they constantly scanned their surroundings, as if trying to find their enemies in the void.
But each demonic insect was surrounded by its companions, making it almost impossible to move; it could only shake its head and wag its tail in place.
Suddenly, the demonic insects opened their mouthparts, and the swarm fell into a deathly silence. The chirping of insects disappeared, replaced by a rustling sound.
The sound was extremely faint, yet it was omnipresent, and the sounds emitted by countless demonic insects even formed a sonic wave, as if something was being slowly devoured by the swarm, which was terrifying.
The swarm of insects was devouring this cage, as well as the laws of the two demon kingdoms in this void!
As for the Free Demon Lord trapped in this realm, whether it was subduing the demons under his command or destroying his demon kingdom, the Lord of the Universe showed no mercy. His intention was definitely not to rescue the Free Demon Lord trapped here!
The two Free Demon Lords are not allies, but competitors, vying for an incredibly tempting prey!
If given the chance, the Lord of the Cosmic Demons would not hesitate to take down that Free Heavenly Demon as well!
‘Shashasha…’
The swarm of insects quickly gnawed through the cage and pounced on the next cage like hungry tigers.
As the swarm devoured Yuan Zaitian, demonic insects inexplicably died one after another. Some suddenly exploded, while others' corpses became food for their companions. Strange lights suddenly burst forth, engulfing swarms of demonic insects, but it was impossible to see what kind of enemy was attacking them.
More and more demonic insects died, but the insect swarm in Yuanzaitian did not decrease but increased, and even continued to grow, because more and more demonic insects rushed in from that crack, one after another.
Besides the giant shrimp demon insect, other demon insects from the Demon Lord realm also entered the realm along with the insect swarm.
Unable to enter the realm in its true form, the Demon Lord of the Cosmic Realm must use a swarm of insects as a vehicle to forcibly invade the Primordial Heaven. At this moment, it is mobilizing the power of the Cosmic Demon Kingdom from all directions, which will undoubtedly come at an unimaginable cost. However, the swarm of insects entering the realm shows no signs of weakening; the Demon Lord of the Cosmic Realm seems to have gone mad, willing to pay any price!
Among the insect clouds, the demonic insects of the Demon Lord realm are undoubtedly the most important.
At this moment, the swarm of insects, led by these demonic insects at the Demon Lord level, attacked in all directions, tearing open new cages.
The Heavenly Demon, trapped in its cage, was exposed to the insect swarm. This time, the insects did not attempt to subdue the Heavenly Demon. The passage for the insect kingdom to enter the realm had been opened, and these Heavenly Demons were the minions of another Free Heavenly Demon, so they naturally had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Moreover, each time a Heavenly Demon is slain, the power of that Free Heavenly Demon's demonic kingdom diminishes by one point.
Similarly, the Dao principles of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction and the Emperor Demon Kingdom being devoured by the swarm of insects will also cause immeasurable damage to Yuan Zaitian.
The dark swarm of insects collided with the torrent of demons, and apart from the Six Desires Demon Lord putting up some resistance, the torrent of demons was almost completely defeated.
They were not facing ordinary insects, but a fellow being of supreme status, who, despite being focused on cultivating demonic insects, was fully aware of the weaknesses of the Heavenly Demon.
The torrent of heavenly demons quickly became food for the demonic insects, and the Six Desires Demon Lord was also swallowed whole by the giant shrimp demonic insects.
Just like those Six Desires Demon Lords who were killed by Qin Sang and his group, although they were in the Demon Kingdom, they could not directly receive the favor and blessing of the Demon Lord like the Giant Shrimp Demon Insect, so their difference in strength was obvious!
The Insect Kingdom expanded rapidly, and countless Heavenly Demons perished in its belly, but the Imperial Rainbow Demon Restriction in this area was also severely damaged.
The black sky was crawling with demonic insects, which were gnawing at it. At this moment, the sky was like a tattered cloth, with countless large holes eaten out by the demonic insects, exposing the incomplete runes.
The entrance to the Insect Kingdom passage was initially blocked by an invisible force that attempted to seal it off and prevent the entrance from reaching the Insect Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the passage was not blocked; instead, it grew larger and larger as the Imperial Rainbow Magic Restriction crumbled.
These are scenes that ordinary people can see with their naked eyes, but in places unseen by the naked eye, there is a clash between three demon kingdoms and three kinds of laws.
Although the true form of the Demon Lord of the Devil Realm did not arrive, he clearly had the upper hand in this confrontation. This was because the other two demon kingdoms operated according to certain rules and maintained a certain balance. The arrival of the Demon Lord of the Devil Realm completely disrupted the balance and used the chaos to wipe them out!
If this continues, it will probably not be long before the power of the other two demon kingdoms is completely wiped out, and the world will fall entirely under the control of the Devouring Universe Demon Kingdom!
But the ambition of the Demon Lord of the Devil Realm is clearly not limited to this. Driven by the Demon Lord's will, the demonic insects continue to advance, and the swarm of demonic blades points directly at the most important core area of Yuan Zaitian!
……
Outside Emperor Tianzi Peak, Qin Sang, who was known as the Lord of Yuanzai Heaven, was still focused on comprehending the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, unaware that a change had already occurred within his own ranks.
His spiritual senses continued to expand along the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, and soon he sensed a nearby Heavenly Demon Cage.
The Six Desires Demon Lord, who was originally suppressed here, was completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching him.
At this point, Qin Sang could roughly guess the origins of these Six Desires Demon Lords. They seemed to have lifespans that defied common sense, but they might not have come from the era of the Earthly Demon Palace. Perhaps they were born in the long years that followed by the Demon Kingdom of the Free Heavenly Demon, or summoned from somewhere else.
That place might be a demon's lair outside the boundary, or it might be a demon's lair somewhere in Yuanzaitian, capable of continuously producing celestial demons.
These celestial demons have been trapped in the Yuanzai Heaven, unable to contact the outside world, and have no opportunity to corrupt living beings, so naturally they have no followers.
If a demon's lair truly exists, where would it be?
Finding and destroying that demon's lair should immediately deal a heavy blow to the demon kingdom.
These thoughts raced through Qin Sang's mind, but he was completely clueless, and the Emperor Rainbow Magic Restriction couldn't offer him any guidance.
However, Qin Sang already knew what to do next. Once he had mastered the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction to a certain extent, he would be able to control it and summon the power of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, and then easily eliminate the Heavenly Demons in Yuanzai Heaven.
The fewer the number of Heavenly Demons here, the weaker the power of the Free Heavenly Demon's demonic kingdom becomes, gradually gaining the upper hand over the Emperor's Demonic Kingdom. This will likely also have an impact on the two sides currently clashing within the Emperor's body.
However, after Qin Sang rallied his spirits and continued to study for a while, he gradually felt a blockage.
Qin Sang, standing outside Emperor Tianzi Peak, frowned. After some verification, he realized the problem: the bottleneck wasn't himself, but the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction!
Who is interfering with the operation of the Imperial Rainbow Magic Index?
Qin Sang was startled by this idea. It should be noted that in Yuanzai Heaven, besides him and Luo Luo Demon Lord, there were only the Emperor and the Heavenly Demon.
The Six Desires Demon Lords were all terrified of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, which contained the power of the Emperor's Demon Kingdom, and had no ability to interfere with it. That left only the Free Heavenly Demon, who was suppressed within the Emperor's body.
Perhaps, the Free Demon Lord sensed the crisis and attempted to retaliate.
Are these two ancient powerful beings still alive?
A thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind, but for some reason, she felt uneasy.
The insect kingdom was approaching, but there was no clear warning as when he encountered enemies before, because his enemy was not the Six Desires Demon Lord, nor the giant shrimp demon insect, but a true Free Demon Lord!
Intervening in the struggle between two powerful figures is no exaggeration; it's fraught with peril. Qin Sang couldn't ignore these distracting thoughts and couldn't help but scrutinize the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction.
Finally, he made a new discovery: the source affecting the operation of the Emperor Rainbow Magic Restriction did not seem to originate from Emperor Tianzi Peak, but rather pointed to the edge of Yuanzaitian, a place not yet covered by his perception range.
"Could the demon's lair be located there?"
Qin Sang pondered to himself, and without hesitation mobilized his spiritual senses, extending them in that direction. Now that his understanding was deeper, he had a certain degree of control over the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction.
As his spiritual senses rapidly spread, crossing the cages and revealing the scene there, Qin Sang was greatly alarmed!
Qin Sang's expression changed drastically outside Emperor Tianzi Peak, her face filled with horror.
Demonic insect!
A massive cloud of insects!
The Demon Lord of Zhizhou!
There was also a familiar insect shadow inside; Yuan Zaitian had actually been invaded by the Demon Kingdom of the Vermin.
Back then, didn't the Demon Lord Luo Luo's distraction sense that the giant shrimp demon insect had broken free from the light filament?
Did this person return after leaving, or was he trapped in Yuanzaitian all along, becoming the catalyst for the entry of the Demon Kingdom of the Defiled Universe into the realm?
The truth is no longer important; what matters is that three Mahayana stage experts have squeezed into Yuanzaitian.
Even with two Mahayana stage experts, it still felt crowded; who knows what kind of changes the Demon Lord of the Universe would bring.
Qin Sang felt a strong sense of unease. This kind of struggle was far beyond what a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like himself could participate in; he would be shattered to pieces at the slightest provocation.
Looking at the ever-expanding swarm of insects, Qin Sang had a momentary urge to flee.
But where can they escape to now?
Even if they escape Yuan Zaitian, how far can they escape once Yuan Zaitian falls into the clutches of evil?
Oh, right, the Qianmo Tower!
He remembered that the name of one of the cave heavens in the great array of the Qianmo Tower was lit up. However, when he touched the Suspended Millet Cave Heaven before, the Qianmo Tower did not react. Now that he has become the master of Yuanzaitian, will it be different?
Qin Sang immediately diverted a wisp of her attention to probe the great formation within the Qianmo Tower through the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, and made a new discovery.
Besides the Suspended Millet Cave, the names of other caves lit up because of his arrival. Although the light was faint, it meant that the Path Tower opposite might still exist!
"What happened?"
Although Luo Luo Demon Lord was exploring the Immortal Mountain, he kept an eye on Qin Sang. Seeing the change in Qin Sang's expression, he knew that something must have happened to Yuan Zaitian, so he hurried over to ask.
Qin Sang took a deep breath and transmitted the truth to him telepathically.
Luo Luo Demon Lord was stunned on the spot, and as expected, his eyes revealed a look of horror.
The Emperor, the unknown Free Demon, the Lord of the Universe... every name Qin Sang uttered was filled with despair.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you leave this place of trouble at once!"
Lord Luo Luo was extremely anxious.
Emperor Tianzi was a renowned powerhouse in ancient times, who fought against the Free Heavenly Demon for countless years, but he could not possibly be a match for two Free Heavenly Demons. It would be a pity if such a person were to become a puppet of the Heavenly Demons, and it would also bring a powerful enemy to the Demon Realm.
But they could only sigh, powerless to do anything about it.
"Perhaps there's a better place to go..."
Qin Sang regained her composure and said in a deep voice, "Tell Lord Luo Luo about the Qianmo Tower."
By moving there and then destroying the Qianmo Tower on the opposite side, the connection with Yuan Zaitian can be severed.
Those names connect different grotto-heavens, their locations unknown. Their predicament lies in not knowing their exact location or how far they are from the front lines of the demonic tide. Perhaps some of these grotto-heavens are closer to the front lines, saving them the arduous journey.
Doing so undoubtedly involves taking risks.
After all, no one knows what the other side has become, or how many demons are lurking there.
Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Luo Luo understood Qin Sang's intention. "Fellow Daoist wants me to go and investigate?"
"There are two grotto-heavens that are currently lit up: the Suspended Millet Grotto-heaven and the Wild Plains Grotto-heaven. Judging from the situation, the Demonic Kingdom of the Defiled Universe will not be able to occupy the Yuanzai Heaven in a short time. We still have time. I will send out an avatar to work separately with you. What we will encounter when we teleport there depends on our luck..."
Qin Sang's tone was heavy.
Venturing into unknown territory is indeed dangerous, but wandering deep into the Demon Realm is not necessarily safe either.
Qin Sang was willing to take the risk, and Luo Luo Demon Lord's expression changed before he finally agreed.
Yang Shen left his body, followed by the Thunder Beast Warrior, and floated into the Qianmo Tower. Luo Luo Demon Lord followed closely behind. The two ascended the great formation, and Qin Sang then made his move.
The reason why the formation did not react last time was that Qin Sang was not a cultivator of the Earthly Demon Palace and did not understand the secrets hidden in the formation. Now, through the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, she can naturally 'see' it clearly.
'Whoosh!'
A flash of inspiration occurred, and the grand formation was activated.
Qin Sangyang and Luo Luo Demon Lord were instantly engulfed by the spiritual light, and when the light dissipated, they were nowhere to be found.
The transfer was successful!
Qin Sang withdrew his gaze and looked down again at the area occupied by the swarm of insects. Neither the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction nor the Heavenly Demon Torrent could stop the swarm's advance; the demonic power was terrifying beyond measure.
While mentally calculating the speed of the advance of the Demon Kingdom of the Destroyer, Qin Sang shifted her gaze to the Emperor Heavenly Son Peak beside her.
On the treasure cup, the Emperor's posture remained unchanged, his expression and eyes were the same, as if he was unaware that another powerful enemy had invaded Yuanzaitian and that danger was imminent.
Should we really give up?
The connection between him and the Emperor was limited to the Yuanzai Token in his hand, and this token was not specifically left for him; it was a measure taken by the Emperor to protect himself.
Qin Sang could not risk his own safety to rescue the Emperor; he did not want to be devoured by the demonic insects.
