Chapter 314 - Primeval Devouring Worm
Chapter 314 - Primeval Devouring Worm
Looking up, Chen Fan caught sight of the light door, hovering a hundred meters in the air. It was very eye-catching.
“It seems like this door is both the entrance and the exit," Chen Fan murmured to himself before quickly flying into the distance.
Others followed suit, dispersing in various directions promptly.
After traversing about a mile, Chen Fan stumbled upon a plant with golden branches and jade-like leaves sprouting from the crevices between colossal rocks.
“Jade-Leafed Golden Stalk!”
“Such a valuable treasure, that too right after entering the mysterious realm... This really is a treasure land of some ancient, powerful sect. If I hand it over to the sect, I can earn at least five hundred contribution points.” Chen Fan smiled faintly. He bent down, preparing to harvest the Jade-Leafed Golden Stalk.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a huge python lunged forward from behind the rocks.
The huge python opened its mouth wide. A foul stench assaulted Chen Fan’s nose as it bit at him.
This Ironrock Python was as strong as a Yuanfu realm expert at the fifth level.
Chen Fan did not panic and thrust his palm out. His strength erupted, and qi currents churned, sending the Ironrock Python flying back dozens of meters.
Chen Fan was surprised.
“Hmm?”
The Ironrock Python didn’t look at all injured and even lunged at him again.
Chen Fan’s palm strike had been a mild attack, but that should have been enough to severely injure someone at the fifth level, maybe even kill them.
“Well... it is an ancient demon beast. God knows how many natural treasures it must have consumed. That must have made its defenses stronger than that of ordinary fifth-level experts.” Chen Fan quickly came to a realization.
The Nebulous Mysterious Realm, annihilated by the blood calamity, used to test and train its disciples here. The Ironrock Python had existed since ancient times, making it undoubtedly much more formidable than other demon beasts of its level.
“Die.”
Chen Fan punched, using fifty percent of his strength this time.
A furious roar echoed through space as his attack shot out like a comet, directly obliterating the Ironrock Python.
Three youths happened to be passing by and immediately noticed the Jade-Leafed Golden Stalk in Chen Fan’s hands.
“Jade-Leafed Golden Stalk! Well, what a stroke of luck! Kid, kneel and hand it over to us, along with your storage ring. We brothers will spare your worthless life then. Otherwise, this will be your final resting place. You understand?” they threatened with sinister expressions and menacing auras.
Chen Fan glanced at the trio, noting their similar appearances, indicating that they were blood-related.
Their clothing said that they didn’t belong to a sect in the Wuning Empire, probably rogue cultivators. They were at the seventh level and could be called decently strong.
“What are you spacing out for? Kneel and offer the treasure to us with both hands. Do you want us to break your legs or what!” said one of the brothers with a sinister expression; he was at the early stage of the seventh level.
The three brothers were well-acquainted with such acts of robbery, having committed them frequently in the outside world.
“Break my legs? With just you three losers?” Chen Fan laughed disdainfully, tucking away the Jade-Leafed Golden Stalk.
“What?”
“Bastard, you’re courting death!”
The second and third brothers immediately grew enraged. Their auras boiled like water, surging with nefarious qi. It became suffocating.
“Kill him!” said the oldest brother viciously, an icy light flickering in his eyes.
“Die, bastard!” The third brother attacked immediately, moving like a fierce tiger, and his every punch roared thunderously. His primeval force transformed into vortexes, his fists capable of piercing iron walls.
Rolling Stone Breaker!
All of a sudden, the qi currents in the air surged. A gale blew, and he felt like massive boulders were smashing into him.
Chen Fan struck out with a palm without looking.
Seemingly lacking force, his palm appeared soft and boneless. His opponent grinned evilly and taunted, “Kid, you dare to resist us with just this bit of strength? It seems the saying \'not knowing what\'s good for you\' was made for you..."
Rumble!
To his astonishment, as his words trailed off, Chen Fan\'s palm seal suddenly changed.
Dragon-elephants hissed like a powerful army with great momentum. It seemed as though ancient wild elephants had materialized in space, fiercely trampling the air.
“Not good!”
The third brother instantly sensed the looming aura of death. His expression darkened as he contemplated retracting his arms and retreating, but it was already too late.
He failed to withstand this ferocious blow; his entire arm crumbled. The terrifying strength made him explode, his blood and flesh flying everywhere.
“Third Brother!”
“Third Brother!”
The eldest and the second brother yelled when they saw their third brother dying in the blink of an eye; their eyes went wide with rage.
“You damnable bastard, you killed my third brother. I want you dead!” roared the eldest, bursting with murderous intent. However, he refrained from striking recklessly. He had realized that while his opponent was also at the seventh level, he was not to be underestimated.
“It’s useless. Your fate was sealed the moment you attacked me," Chen Fan remarked indifferently, shaking his head as he approached the remaining two.
“Get him!” shouted the eldest brother, his eyes flickering.
He suddenly swung his arm. Immediately, three black dots of light shot out from under his sleeves like black lightning.
“Using such underhanded tactics in front of me. Do you think it will work?” Chen Fan snorted coldly. He reached out, primeval force surging in his palm, and effortlessly caught the three lights, neutralizing them.
“Haha, you fell for it, bastard! Did you think those were hidden weapons? Hahaha, let me tell you, those are Primeval Devouring Worms. They devour martial artists’ primeval force! You’re finished! You’re dead!” The eldest brother immediately burst out in a maniacal laughter.
Chen Fan also sensed something amiss.
“Hmm?”
He immediately felt a stinging pain in his palm.
Chen Fan opened his palm and realized that something had torn open his protective primeval force. There were three bloody holes in his palm, and he could vaguely see that the three black dots had entered his flesh.
A sense of dread washed over Chen Fan as he felt his primeval force rapidly draining away as if being consumed by some unseen force.
Seeing the changes on Chen Fan’s face, the eldest brother howled with laughter, “Haha, how is it? You can feel your primeval force being devoured, right?”
The second brother wore a malevolent grin, his expression twisted with malice. “Bastard, you\'ll beg for death once the Primeval Devouring Worm completely drains your primeval force. How dare you kill my brother! There\'s nowhere for you to run!"
Chen Fan\'s face contorted in agony as he sensed the Primeval Devouring Worm infiltrating his meridians, swiftly devouring his primeval force along his meridians.
“Primeval Devouring Worm...” Chen Fan mumbled to himself. With a thought, the Heaven Seizing Furnace started revolving. The heaven-refining flames surged within him as he directed them. Soon, the flames engulfed the three worms.
Tss, tss, tssssss...
Jiji, jijiji...
The heaven-refining flames could refine all matter. The flames quickly enveloped the worms, dragged them into the Heaven Seizing Furnace, and refined them. The worms could squeak as they died.
Suddenly, the eldest brother, whose consciousness was linked to the Primeval Devouring Worms, coughed up a large quantity of blood. He stared at Chen Fan in astonishment and exclaimed, “You...”
