There are five strange insects in the world of immortality, each with its own magic.
Like a gold-eating insect with hundreds of poisons, its body is stronger than fine iron, it is hard to be hurt by a sword, and everything in the world cannot be devoured.
They are born as second-level demonic insects and consume various poisons as they grow, causing the rodent's saliva to contain highly toxic substances.
Mature poisonous gold-eating insects can grow to the peak of the third level, and often appear in groups, even the Nascent Soul Lord has to stay away.
There is also the Hundred-Eyed Centipede, which can grow up to a hundred feet in length when mature, and has a hundred pairs of compound eyes on its body.
Each pair of compound eyes can emit a divine light. In the world of immortality, there once appeared a hundred-eyed centipede that could master more than twenty different kinds of divine light.
The fourth-level high-grade Hundred-Eyed Centipede keeps flying, and when it comes to a country, it destroys the monks there.
Over hundreds of years, countless sects were destroyed because of this.
In the end, five true kings in the late Nascent Soul stage jointly set up a formation and paid a heavy price to kill him.
Compared to the Hundred-Poison Gold-Eating Insect and the Hundred-Eyed Centipede, the Spring and Autumn Cicada does not have such strong individual strength.
According to records, the strongest Spring and Autumn Cicada is only a third-level low-grade one.
From the second level of inferiority at birth, one can advance to the first level by sleeping for a hundred years.
It only lasts a few years before it falls into deep sleep.
It starts over and over again until it becomes a third-level monster insect.
However, the Spring and Autumn Cicada is known as the most mysterious among the five strange insects because it has the ability to slightly affect time.
Monster insects that are only second to third level can be involved in the most mysterious and unpredictable time. How can they not be included in the five great strange insects?
Once upon a time, the Nascent Soul Lord spent a lot of effort to capture a Spring and Autumn Cicada, intending to take it back and raise it to see if it had the potential to advance to the third level or above.
By the way, I want to find a way to touch the avenue of time from the innate ability of Chunqiu Cicada.
But at the moment when the contract was made, Spring Autumn Cicada ignored the prohibition and used the power of time to act on itself.
Only a fossil-like body remained, and the insect life was gone in an instant.
Since then, the Spring and Autumn Cicada, who could not be contracted as a spiritual insect and had mastered the power of time, became more and more famous.
"Got it! Got it!"
The Spring and Autumn Cicada flew into the sky, flapped its wings, turned and rushed over.
Obviously he wasn't flying very fast, but he passed between the two sword lights, causing the flying swords to strike into space.
The strong wind blew against my face, and the seven-skilled rays of light were inspired and blocked in front of me.
Click! Click!
Two light curtains were shattered in succession before the Spring Autumn Cicada was blocked.
The Spring and Autumn Cicada, the size of a castanopsis, flapped its wings and was already dozens of feet away.
"This is the power of time of the Spring and Autumn Cicada!"
Bai Zichen felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. He had obviously thought well, and the flight path of the insect shadow was in line with his expectations.
The final result is always just a hair's breadth away, either the sword is drawn a moment too early or a moment too late, failing to meet one's expectations.
Compared with other kinds of monster insects, it is obviously much weaker in terms of individual strength, and it can also be listed as one of the five most extraordinary insects in the world of immortality.
He is even called the number one mysterious person, and as expected, there are no void insects despite his great reputation.
"The second-order high-grade monster is the Spring and Autumn Cicada that has slept twice... Even if I deal with the second-order peak monster, I will never feel this powerless."
Bai Zichen's sword skills were useless. If the Chun Qiu Cicada's attack power wasn't too strong, the Qiqiao Xuanzhu would have been broken long ago.
Putting on the colorful feathers and flashing red clothes, he was also affected the moment he approached the Spring Autumn Cicada.
Chi Lian almost solidified, and Nishang Yuyi returned to an ordinary spiritual weapon.
"This is not a method that can be mastered by the second level at all. It is just like the Blue Emperor Eternal Sword. When it is swung in the hand of Master Jiedan, no one of the same level of monks can stop it..."
Bai Zichen felt for the first time why high-level monks paid the most attention to the true meaning of the Great Dao.
No matter how high your cultivation level is and how powerful your methods are, can you still fight against the great avenue between heaven and earth?
Just touching the fur of the Spring and Autumn Cicada can make you feel at a loss and extremely embarrassing.
You can only unfold the sword light first and use Xingluo Sword Technique. The entire body within ten feet will be filled with vertical and horizontal sword light.
The wings of the Spring and Autumn cicada flap and emit a sharp chirp. The insect bodies on both sides are obviously misaligned due to the different passage of time.
The dense sword light erupted, and all the stars in the sky fell, creating a brilliant meteor shower.
Every sword light falling on the Spring Autumn Cicada will be deflected and resolved by a strange force.
Hundreds of thousands of sword beams fell, and even the thousand-year-old turtle in Feiyue Lake, which was famous for its defense, could not catch it unscathed.
But the Spring and Autumn Cicada just flapped its wings lightly and took on all the burden.
Half of its insect body, which is full of vitality, becomes increasingly emerald green, like a piece of the purest and most sunny jadeite.
The other half of the insect's body exudes an irrepressible smell of decay, like the kind of gloomy wood that has been soaked in rotten water for hundreds of years.
Moving at an extremely slow speed amid the surging sword light, he was invincible.
"I'll try this last time. If I still can't break the power of time of Spring Autumn Cicada, I can only use the Lunar Star Escape Talisman to evacuate first... Please ask the two uncles to take action and come to rescue Su Li!"
Those miscellaneous books about the five strange insects in the world of immortality do not record how to deal with the Spring and Autumn Cicada.
Basically, relying on the realm advantage, Master Jiedan captured the second-level Spring Autumn Cicada, and Master Yuanying captured the third-level Spring Autumn Cicada.
The lower the realm, the more terrifying this power related to the true meaning of the great road becomes.
Bai Zichen had the third-level Lunar Star Escape Talisman in hand, but he still wanted to give it a try until the last moment.
The Spring and Autumn Cicada, an ancient strange insect born with the power of time, is much more intelligent than ordinary monster insects.
I was afraid that once he left, Su Li, who was trapped half-dead in the cicada, would not be able to survive the next moment and would not be able to wait for the next wave of reinforcements.
Qing Emperor's Sword of Eternal Life!
Yun Sword Technique is the first, Yimu Qingshen Technique is the body, and Yang Sword Technique is the last. The three secret techniques are used in sequence and integrated into one, trying to reproduce the supreme magical power of the Yulong Sect.
The green light suddenly appeared, and it was also a sense of dislocation between extreme speed and slowness, which was very similar to the feeling brought to him by the Spring and Autumn Cicada.
"I don't ask for success in casting the Qing Emperor's Sword of Eternal Life. All I want is to use the power of time to collide with your innate power... I only want this fleeting opportunity!"
Bai Zichen had already calculated that without tens or hundreds of years of intensive research, it would be impossible to master this heaven-defying magical power during the foundation building period.
Of course, it is impossible for him to place his hope of breaking the situation on the possibility of having an epiphany and making a breakthrough on the spot, which has a probability close to zero.
Unless the realm is crushed, the only thing that can resist the true meaning of the great road is another true meaning of the great road.
"My Blue Emperor Eternal Life Sword is not formed at all and can only affect the power of time. But even if you are blessed with a second-level monster insect, how much can you exert... Moreover, I don't expect it to hurt you, as long as two
Just let the forces of time from different sources collide!"
When the Qing Emperor's Sword of Eternal Life reached its final step, the green light could no longer hold on and suddenly exploded, causing ripples of the power of time to spread.
This is the moment!
Bai Zichen's consciousness was highly concentrated, his eyes flashed with light, and the sword light in the sky instantly emptied into a powerful sword light.
The Spring and Autumn Cicada flapped its wings, and the two forces of time collided, causing its whole body to return to normal for an instant.
The light of the sword fades and changes, and the thunder explodes.
The Spring and Autumn Cicada screamed loudly and flew high into the sky. A line of blood appeared from the middle of the insect's body.
Just along the completely different half green and half gray body, it broke into two halves and fell quickly.
As a second-order high-grade monster insect, after losing the power of time to protect the body, the Spring Autumn Cicada is actually quite fragile, not as good as many second-order low-grade monsters.
call!
Bai Zichen let out a long breath, confirming that the Spring Autumn Cicada was dead, and then realized that his back was already wet.
This can be regarded as the most exhausting battle since he jumped over the level and killed Meng Shigui.
Although it looks plain and there is no earth-shattering collision, it is far more dangerous than dealing with a perfect foundation-building monk.
If it weren't for his superb swordsmanship, his mind would be as clear as a mirror, and his ability to seize opportunities would be far beyond ordinary people's.
If other sword cultivators or late-stage foundation-building cultivators were here, even if there was a method similar to the Azure Emperor's Sword of Eternal Life that caused the Spring and Autumn Cicada's protective time power to stagnate, there was a high probability that they would not be able to seize this opportunity.
In the blink of an eye at most, its surroundings fell back into a frozen state of chaotic speed and slowness.
"When to stop and when to move, there are rules... The power of time of the Spring and Autumn Cicada is like this, and so is the timing of my sword."
Bai Zichen held the sword in confusion. After killing the Spring Autumn Cicada and feeling the power of time at close range, some thoughts seemed to have emerged in his mind.
It's like the legendary epiphany, but it's not at that level. It's just a hazy and immature feeling.
But what is certain is that this battle helped him greatly.
Even if it does not manifest itself in a short period of time, it will gradually manifest itself in the future during the cultivation process.
Such is the realization on the spot, I don’t even know its function, but one day it will appear where it should appear across the long river of time.
With a roll of sword light, he caught two parts of the Spring Autumn Cicada's insect body in his hand.
The green part is soft and very elastic, with a jelly-like feel.
The gray half is like rotten wood, and I suspect it will break if you pinch it hard.
Bai Zichen found a long jade box and sealed it up.
One of the five strange insects in the world of immortality, of course it cannot be regarded as an ordinary second-level spiritual insect. It may have some great uses that I don't know about.
Even if it doesn't come in handy, it can be made into a specimen and used as a display in the future.
Not even Nascent Soul Master can make specimens out of the five strange insects.
When I walked to the cicada chrysalis, I sensed it with my spiritual consciousness, and with a stroke of the Tianxin sword, it split open with a tearing sound, and the viscous liquid poured out.
Su Li fell down along the broken cicada. Bai Zichen held his breath and touched his mouth and nose with his hand, still breathing weakly.
"As long as you're not dead, there's always a way to save you..."
Bai Zichen grabbed Su Li, threw Gungun back on his shoulder, transformed into a sword and headed straight for the mountain gate.
Saving people is like putting out fires. Who knows if there will be special changes after leaving the cicada, causing the situation in Zuli to take a turn for the worse.
Of course, I chose the fastest flight speed, and I didn’t have time to drive slowly with colorful patterns and white clouds.
"I don't know what the Spring and Autumn Cicada was doing after trapping Su Li in the cicada for so many years without killing her... But the miscellaneous book I read only treated the five strange insects as interesting anecdotes, and the introduction was not detailed enough.
.”
Bai Zichen flew with his sword, and his mana consumption doubled.
Fortunately, he was already in the late stage of foundation building, and there was enough liquid mana in his Dantian Qi sea to support him.
