Chapter 842
The Gold-Eating Insect King
boom!
With a wave of his hand, the kneeling figures exploded into clouds of blood mist.
His face was gloomy.
He deserted his post and even dared to make excuses; given his character, his entire family should be executed!
However, now is the time when we need manpower, so let's just kill them.
Emperor Qian felt that everything had gone wrong since he met Su Mu.
The powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty have now lost even this much courage.
They're just a bunch of insects and puppets, yet they're this afraid!
"Emperor Qian, Su Mu is indeed in the Nine Netherworld Prison."
Chang Shengtian said, "Nine Netherworld Prison, this name is quite fitting. This place will soon become the prison where Su Mu is imprisoned."
When Changshengtian said this, he forgot that a good name might not be specifically for Su Mu; it could also be for him.
"Although we have confirmed that Su Mu is in the Nine Netherworld Prison, the entire Nine Netherworld Prison is very large. If our forces are too scattered, even if we find Su Mu, we may not be able to kill him."
Emperor Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Eternal Heaven, do you have any solutions?"
Even in a one-on-one fight, they weren't confident they could defeat Su Mu.
To kill a powerful figure like Su Mu, one must strike with ten or even a hundred times the force and with overwhelming force.
Moreover, there must be a suitable place where Su Mu has no way to escape before it can work.
Emperor Qian and Changsheng Tian brought their most elite forces with them this time, but how to surround Su Mu is still a problem.
They could certainly seal off the entire Nine Netherworld Prison, but that would disperse their power and make it impossible to stop Su Mu.
Su Mu could easily break through the blockade.
"First, we need to determine what Su Mu's purpose is in coming to the Nine Netherworld Prison."
Chang Sheng Tian said, "If we know his purpose, we can get what he wants first and then wait for him to come to us."
“Su Mu probably doesn’t want just one thing. According to information gathered by our Great Qian Dynasty, Su Mu is collecting various materials for forging weapons. I suspect he is forging an extraordinary divine weapon. If he succeeds, I’m afraid no one in the world will be able to suppress him.”
Emperor Qian said with a solemn expression.
His guess was wrong, but the result wasn't wrong either.
If Su Mu collects enough materials for weapon forging, he will be able to upgrade the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to the Nine Deaths Realm.
Reaching the Nine Deaths Realm means that Su Mu is already a Primordial Realm expert, at which point naturally no one can suppress him.
Chang Sheng Tian frowned upon hearing this.
He unconsciously rubbed his temples.
Having lived eight lifetimes, this was the first time he had ever felt a headache.
He had never encountered such a formidable opponent before.
“I have another method. I will enter the Nine Nether Prison and then declare war on Su Mu. That way, I can lure him out.”
"The Eternal Heaven said."
Emperor Qian glanced at him, a hint of disdain and helplessness flashing deep in his eyes.
In terms of cultivation, this Changshengtian is no less than him, and may even be more than him.
But this brain—
Even Emperor Qian didn't know how to evaluate it; the Eternal Heaven was sometimes frighteningly childish.
Does he think Su Mu is some kind of upright gentleman? Does he think that just because you challenge someone, they will definitely accept the challenge?
Knowing it was a trap, it would be a disservice to your intelligence if Su Mu didn't run away.
With Su Mu's personality, do you expect him to be like you?
If you shout, you'll alert Su Mu, and he'll definitely flee far away, making it almost impossible for you to find him again.
Emperor Qian sighed inwardly, realizing that hoping the Eternal Heaven could offer some valuable solution was wishful thinking on his part.
I shouldn't have had too high expectations of him.
The Eternal Heaven is only suitable for being a henchman.
"Given Su Mu's personality, now that he's come to the Nine Netherworld Prison, he certainly won't leave empty-handed."
Emperor Qian pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there is a place in the Nine Netherworld Prison where the quality of the Xuan Yin Nether Iron is the highest, and it may even contain the Xuan Yin Iron Heart. Su Mu will definitely go to that place."
"What if we can't find Su Mu? Su Mu isn't you; he might not know that much."
The Way of Immortality.
Emperor Qian couldn't help but roll his eyes. You think Su Mu is like you?
If he can't even find this, then Su Mu wouldn't be Su Mu.
"He will definitely find it."
Emperor Qian said in a deep voice.
To say that Su Mu cannot be found is not to underestimate Su Mu, but to underestimate themselves!
Someone who can push them to this extent can't be a useless person.
"I've made up my mind, we'll choose that place as the battlefield."
"Everyone, listen to my command! Enter the Nine Netherworld Prison and prepare for battle!"
Emperor Qian said coldly that he had decided that from now on he would make all the decisions and not listen to any of the opinions of the Eternal Heaven.
Even the Eternal Heaven couldn't offer any valuable advice!
…………
hum.
The alchemy furnace vibrated slightly.
One by one, pills flew out of the alchemy furnace.
A rich aroma of herbs lingered in the air.
With a wave of her hand, Lin Nianchu had already put those pills into the jade bottle.
At first, Lin Nianchu refined pills with Su Mu.
She might have had the idea of competing with Su Mu.
Even though it was her own man, she still wanted to win once in the art of alchemy.
After refining only one batch of pills, Lin Nianchu completely gave up on the idea.
Because she realized that her alchemy skills were no match for Su Mu's.
So now she simply helps Su Mu with his work, allowing him to focus all his energy on refining pills.
A beautiful woman adds fragrance to the room.
With the adorable alchemy apprentice Lin Nianchu by his side, Su Mu's alchemy speed has indeed increased considerably.
With this batch of pills refined, the necessary ingredients for the Gu-raising technique are now fully prepared.
"Senior brother, if you had been born into the Danxia Sect, the next sect leader would definitely have been yours."
Lin Nianchu couldn't help but sigh.
She had seen many alchemy geniuses, and she herself was the most outstanding one among them.
Even so, she still feels a sense of awe and reverence for Su Mu.
She even felt that no one in the Danxia Sect could surpass Su Mu in alchemy.
You must know, alchemy is the Danxia Sect's bread and butter.
For Su Mu, alchemy was just a hobby.
It can only be said that Su Mu's talent is unprecedented. Even with just casual practice, he has already surpassed the efforts of these people over hundreds of years.
"If I were really born into the Danxia Sect, you probably wouldn't even look at me."
Su Mu chuckled and made a joke.
"Nianchu, I'm going to the Nine Netherworld Prison right now. The environment there is special, so don't come with me on this dangerous journey."
Su Mu got back to the point, "I'll give you some to play with after I deal with the Gold-Eating Insects."
After squeezing Lin Nianchu's alchemy brush and taking the pill from her hand, Su Mu transformed into a streak of light and returned to the Nine Netherworld Prison.
Even though he knew that Emperor Qian and Changshengtian were planning to deal with him in the Nine Netherworld Prison, Su Mu showed no fear whatsoever.
Who's cheating whom is still uncertain.
If the Danxia Sect's Gu-raising technique is truly effective, then it will be the turn of Emperor Qian and the Eternal Heaven to experience Su Mu's methods firsthand.
Last time in the Dragon Tiger Small World, Emperor Qian and Changshengtian ran fast.
But the Nine Nether Prison is not a place you can just run away from.
Even with the strength of Emperor Qian and Changshengtian, it would take some effort to pass through the Nine Nether Magnetic Storm.
…………
"They really haven't given up their evil intentions."
Outside the Nine Netherworld Prison, Su Mu found Lu Yin, who had been lingering nearby.
Lu Yin, the former sect leader of the Yanfu Sect and now the only pseudo-Primordial Realm cultivator in the Great Thousand World, is now here gathering information like a scout.
This is only possible because of Su Mu; no one else would have asked Lu Yin to do such a thing.
"Emperor Qian and Changsheng Tian brought a total of seventeen Dao Realm experts, which is already stronger than us."
Lu Yin said solemnly.
The two of them, plus the seven golden dragon and tiger statues, make a total of nine people.
"In addition, they also brought over a hundred Dao Origin Realm cultivators."
The Great Qian Dynasty possesses a combined attack technique that allows martial artists at the Dao Source Realm to unleash the combat power of those at the Dao Extreme Realm.
Hundreds of Dao Source Realm cultivators are enough to unleash the combat power of at least five or six Dao Extreme Realm cultivators.
Lu Yin continued.
This force, though not large in number, is already capable of sweeping across the world.
Even if the Yanfu Sect and Hengshan Sect mobilized their entire forces, they might not be able to muster such a large force.
"They came prepared."
Lu Yin said, "If we're being on the safe side, I think it's best if we don't fight them head-on. If the Nine Netherworld Prison isn't working, we can just go to another small world."
If it were Lu Yin himself, he wouldn't be afraid of any danger.
But Su Mu is different.
In Lu Yin's mind, Su Mu was the future of the Yanfu Sect.
The Shetland Sheepdog must not suffer any damage.
"It's alright." Su Mu smiled faintly, "The more people they send, the better."
"If we can keep all these people in the Nine Nether Prison, will the Great Qian Dynasty suffer a devastating blow?"
"It won't be a devastating blow, but it will definitely give them a run for their money."
Lu Yin said subconsciously.
suddenly.
He was taken aback. "You've found a way to control the Gold-Eating Insects?"
"The Danxia Sect actually possesses such abilities?"
A look of confusion appeared on Lu Yin's face.
The existence of the Nine Netherworld Prison is not a secret; the Great Qian Dynasty once attempted to control it.
The Danxia Sect has always been a force under the Great Qian Dynasty. If they have this ability, why didn't they help Emperor Qian conquer the Nine Netherworld Prison before?
Besides, those are gold-devouring insects.
Who can resist the temptation to control the gold-devouring beetles?
Any martial artist who controls the Gold-Eating Insects will be able to dominate the world.
"The Danxia Sect has this method, but whether it will be successful is hard to say."
Moreover, it's quite troublesome to implement, and even the Danxia Sect would find it difficult to attempt.
Su Mu said calmly.
Just to refine those pills, Su Mu consumed most of the Dragon Tiger Treasure he had acquired.
of course.
For him, this was not a waste of effort.
You can also earn points by refining pills.
He has now accumulated enough points to advance to the next realm.
His Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique is currently at the sixth level of death; the next level is the seventh level of death.
As long as he accumulates just a little more points, he can advance to the Seven Deaths Realm.
With his foundation, the Six Deaths Realm was enough to defeat the Eternal Heaven.
If he reaches the Seven Deaths Realm, he will be able to crush the Eternal Heaven!
Even if Emperor Qian and Changshengtian join forces, he might still have a fighting chance.
Su Mu planned to cultivate the King of Gold-Eating Insects while continuing to accumulate points. As soon as he had enough points, he would immediately upgrade the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.
Lu Yin was breathing rapidly. Although he didn't quite understand the specific details, he had already grasped the meaning.
The Danxia sect has methods, but they can't do them themselves.
Su Mu has the method and can do it.
The thought that Su Mu had mastered the method to control the Gold-Eating Insects made Lu Yin excited.
Having lived for so many years, he has long since reached a point where he is completely unfazed by anything.
Unexpectedly, his mood has been fluctuating wildly ever since he met Su Mu.
This gave him a feeling of being young again.
Life should be this exciting.
What's the point of a life as calm as still water?
If we can control the Gold-Eating Insects, then what is there to fear about the Great Qian Dynasty?
Then, it will be the Great Qian Dynasty's turn to fear them!
Those are gold-devouring insects!
"If we can really control the Gold-Eating Insects, then we can leave them all in the Nine Netherworld Prison!"
Lu Yin's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Actually, it's not that optimistic."
Su Mu said solemnly, "It's not certain whether this method will succeed. Even if it does, the Gold-Eating Insects will likely suffer heavy casualties, and it's uncertain how many will survive in the end."
If there aren't enough Gold-Eating Insects, they won't be enough to deal with top-tier powerhouses like Emperor Qian and the Eternal Heaven.
Su Mu was confident he could defeat Emperor Qian and Changshengtian, but killing them would be much more difficult.
"In any case, at least we have a chance to try now."
Lu Yin said optimistically.
"what can I do?"
Lu Yin, a dignified cultivator at the Primordial Beginning Realm, now felt like he was just a bystander.
He completely failed to see any value in his own existence.
"you--"
Su Mu glanced at Lu Yin and said, "You stay here. If Emperor Qian and Changsheng Tian escape, seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and deal them a heavy blow."
Lu Yin: "..."
I, the former sect master of Yanfu Sect, a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert, you want me to ambush you here?
Ok.
Lu Yin was somewhat discouraged; it seemed that this was indeed all he could do now.
He didn't know how Su Mu was going to subdue the Gold-Eating Insects, so he couldn't help Su Mu at all.
Bringing seven golden dragon and tiger statues to launch a sneak attack might be the only thing he could do.
Watching helplessly as Su Mu re-entered the Nine Netherworld Prison, Lu Yin sighed.
My strength is still not enough. If I were a Primordial Realm expert, I might be able to help Su Mu.
"Lu Yin, you must never be arrogant or complacent. You must continue to work hard and strive to become a true Tai Chu Realm expert as soon as possible."
Lu Yin silently encouraged himself.
He's already this old, and I never imagined I'd have to keep encouraging myself and give it my all.
…………
Unaware of Lu Yin's complex emotions, Su Mu entered the Nine Netherworld Prison, carefully avoiding the perception of the Gold-Eating Insects and the Netherworld Guards.
This time, he was hiding from another group of people: the people of Emperor Qian and the Eternal Heaven.
However, since he was able to evade the Gold-Eating Insects and the Underworld Guards, he naturally didn't care about the people of Emperor Qian and the Eternal Heaven.
Su Mu concealed his aura and found a group of gold-devouring insects.
He carefully crushed the pill, then used a secret method passed down in the Danxia Sect to sprinkle the powder into the swarm of gold-devouring insects.
hum!
In an instant, the swarm of gold-devouring insects became ferocious.
They were tearing each other apart in a frenzy.
In just a short time, countless corpses of the Gold-Eating Insects fell from the sky.
The surviving gold-eating beetles didn't even spare the corpses, swarming onto them and beginning to feed voraciously.
As the corpses of the Gold-Eating Insects were continuously devoured, the number of surviving Gold-Eating Insects dwindled, but their size more than doubled from their initial size.
Su Mu remained hidden to the side, carefully observing the process and guiding its development as needed.
Only when there was only one Gold-Eating Insect left in the swarm did Su Mu approach it and continuously cast spells at it, leaving his mark deep within its soul.
After that, Su Mu led the gold-devouring insect to another group of gold-devouring insects.
Another round of fierce fighting ensued.
This time, however, the gold-devouring insect that survived was not the one Su Mu brought.
However, Su Mu used the same trick again, leaving a mark on the surviving Gold-Eating Insect once more.
Then came the third and fourth times.
He continuously cultivated the gold-devouring insects using the art of raising gu (a type of insect).
This happened countless times, and countless gold-devouring insect swarms were wiped out.
at last.
A gold-devouring worm, as big as a baby's fist, appeared in front of Su Mu.
The gold-devouring insect was enormous, its entire body radiating a dazzling golden light.
Especially its eyes, which are completely different from those of ordinary gold-devouring insects, are extremely lively and even have a hint of human-like qualities.
When Su Mu extended his palm, the gold-devouring worm obediently crawled onto his hand and affectionately touched Su Mu's palm with its head, looking quite attached.
After countless cycles, Su Mu had already imprinted a mark deep within the soul of the Gold-Eating Insect.
This is a secret technique of the Danxia Sect, and also the core of the Gu-raising technique.
Now that he is in perfect harmony with the Gold-Eating Insect, he can control it with a single thought.
Su Mu's thoughts stirred slightly.
Then the gold-devouring insect spread its wings and took flight.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
It flew around Su Mu happily a few times.
Su Mu issued another command in his mind.
The gold-devouring beetle hovered in the air, letting out a shriek.
With that scream, a buzzing sound arose from all directions. In the blink of an eye, countless gold-devouring insects approached.
Moments later, tens of thousands of gold-devouring insects had gathered.
They hovered behind the insect king, flapped their wings, and flew away, making a buzzing sound.
Looking at the swarm of gold-devouring insects, Su Mu couldn't help but smile.
His hard work over the past few days was worthwhile; he finally succeeded.
With this Gold-Devouring Insect King, all the Gold-Devouring Insects in the Nine Nether Prison will be no threat!
If it weren't for the fact that the Qian Emperor and the people of the Eternal Heaven were still inside the Nine Netherworld Prison, Su Mu would have wanted to burst into laughter.
With a wave of his hand, the Gold-Eating Insect King flew over and landed lightly on Su Mu's shoulder.
At the same time, the gold-devouring insects also began to change their formation.
A moment later, they transformed into a broadsword.
Su Mu raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the broadsword.
If you don't look closely, it's hard to tell that the sword is made up of countless gold-eating insects.
"Emperor Qian, Eternal Heaven, let's see if you can withstand this sword strike!"
Su Mu smiled, thinking to himself, "This time, it's my turn to make a move." (End of Chapter)
