Chapter 620 - 491: First Arrival at the Southern Continent
Chapter 620: Chapter 491: First Arrival at the Southern Continent
The transmission passage was filled with countless silver lights continuously streaking past, even making time seem blurry.
After an unknown amount of time, the tunnel finally reached its end. Su Yuan only felt a surge of white light before his eyes, and the scenery completely changed.
Where he looked, there were continuous mountain ranges stretching endlessly into the distance.
“Finally here!”
Su Yuan tried to communicate with the Transmission Decree he left in the Capitol City, but there was no response, not even a sense of direction!
This could only mean that the distance between this place and the Capitol City was unfathomably vast!
“It seems I’ve indeed reached the Southern Continent.”
Su Yuan nodded, suddenly glancing at the ground beneath him.
In the next moment, the ground split open abruptly. With a strange roar, a barrel-shaped worm nearly a hundred meters long burst from the ground behind Su Yuan, opening its giant mouth to bite down!
Su Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. Golden light flashed beneath his feet, and several golden chains instantly flew out, binding the barrel-shaped worm tightly.
“Screee!!”
The worm was tightly bound, letting out sharp, angry cries. A large amount of viscous, corrosive, dark-purple Star Power surged out, trying to erode the Heavenly Lock.
However, the Heavenly Lock was made from top-quality Void Gold. Its hardness and resistance were supreme, far beyond what this level of corrosion could affect!
“Yan Envoy said he’d try to teleport to an area with lower Star Power concentration to reduce risk. It seems I’m rather unlucky…”
Su Yuan turned around, looking at the hideous and gigantic worm.
Though he didn’t know its name, its formidable Star Power indicated it was undoubtedly a Shining Star Beast.
The worm’s body trembled and struggled vehemently. With a thought from Su Yuan, the Heavenly Lock tightened suddenly, twisting the worm’s massive body in half!
“Boom!”
The worm’s corpse crashed to the ground, emitting a muffled sound.
Su Yuan controlled the Void Splitting Monument Hand to extract the Star Core from the worm’s body.
After casually decomposing it, Su Yuan suddenly remembered something.
“I forgot to use the Nine Dragon Locking Yang Array to absorb Life Soul Yang Qi… Oh? There are more, so it doesn’t matter.”
Su Yuan turned around, looking at the surrounding ground.
Rocks scattered, and dust billowed as one giant barrel-shaped worm after another drilled out from the ground.
Though the flying dust obscured vision, he could still see there were over a dozen of them!
“Screee!”
“Screee! Screee!”
“…”
Sharp, successive cries emanated from these worms.
“Seems like I’ve entered a worm nest?” Su Yuan chuckled lightly. “These sounds are truly unpleasant, but it’s perfect timing. I need Star Dust right now…”
Seeing the numerous giant worms surrounding him, Su Yuan’s mind stirred. A layer of black light immediately surged from his body, causing the worms to disappear instantly.
The worms further away sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated underground. However, the black light ignored the space boundary, directly pulling all the worms in.
“Coming here and still wanting to leave?”
Su Yuan chuckled lightly, and a crimson light surged, condensing into the Demon Soul Avatar.
“I’ll leave it to you. Go handle them,” Su Yuan said.
The Demon Soul Avatar grinned, “Alright, I haven’t killed in a while!”
With a twist of black light, the Demon Soul entered Subspace No. 2 of Qingming Realm.
Within Subspace No. 2, nine Sun-locking Fire Pools were arranged in the position of the Nine Palaces, with a large amount of red flames burning fiercely, searing the worms.
However, without a Sun-devouring Flame Dragon hatched in the Nine Dragon Locking Yang Array, its power was limited, only causing these thick-skinned Shining Star class worms slight pain.
The worms, unable to find a target, kept crashing into the space barriers. Suddenly, a person wearing a Blood Robe and surrounded by Red Flame Silk appeared among them.
“Screee!”
“Screee! Screee! Screee!”
“…”
Noticing the Demon Soul enter, the worms turned and charged at him like bulldozers.
“Heh, quite a number of them… Big, white, and fat, still wriggling. Looks rather disgusting.”
Seeing the giant worm bite at him, the Demon Soul’s mind stirred. The Red Flame Silk instantly extended to over a hundred meters, wrapping the worm like a dumpling.
The wrapped worm twisted frantically. In the next moment, flames surged, and the entire Red Flame Silk burned intensely.
“Screee!”
A sharp, miserable cry echoed. Within just two or three seconds, the taut Red Flame Silk relaxed, revealing the worm now turned to char and black ash!
By this time, another three worms had charged forward.
The Demon Soul made a virtual gesture with his left hand, and the Red Flame Silk swiftly expanded, binding the three worms together like radishes.
With his right hand open, red light circulated, condensing into a Demon Saber.
“Flash.”
Assuming a drawing stance and with a brief charge, the Demon Soul turned into a black flame streak, cutting past the three “radishes.”
With the black flames still lingering on the saber, the three worms’ heads flew off simultaneously.
The Red Flame Silk quickly retracted, circling back around the Demon Soul.
The Demon Soul looked at the Fire Ribbon around him, eyes gleaming, “This Flame Luo Ling is really handy!”
In just a turn, the Demon Soul had slain four Shining Star-level worms, causing the surrounding worms to become agitated.
With the death of the four worms, their bodies were ignited by the array’s flames. Strands of Life Soul Yang Qi were continuously drawn out into the Sun-locking Fire Pools.
The flames in the Fire Pools roared, as if fueled by firewood. The array’s power suddenly increased!
“Seems effective…”
The Demon Soul grinned and, seeing the surrounding worms closing in, dashed out to kill again…
Outside, Su Yuan raised his hand, summoning Ashley to his side.
“Boss.” Ashley saluted.
Ashley addressed Su Yuan as “Boss” instead of master due to a correction by Su Yuan, similar to how Antonios did.
Su Yuan said, “Ashley, we’ve reached the Southern Continent. Check it out.”
“Yes.”
Ashley responded, then clasped her hands in prayer at her chest.
As she closed her eyes, a gigantic Destiny Star Track shadow appeared behind her, spinning rapidly, its Holy Light overflowing with sanctity.
After a while, she reopened her eyes.
“We’ve indeed arrived at the Southern Continent. My connection to the Oracle of Divine Wind is much clearer. Boss, you need to head west.”
“Alright.” Su Yuan nodded.
Seeing Ashley dressed in simple robes, more lively than usual, Su Yuan asked, “You seem in a good mood?”
Ashley replied slowly, “The Qingming Realm’s soul overcharge is working… Also, working for you is easy.”
“Easy, but not very free, right?”
“For us who cultivate Star Power, it’s like a retreat.” Ashley smiled slightly, then said softly, “Besides, I’m naturally quite a homebody.”
“Return then.”
Ashley saluted again, “Yes.”
Su Yuan raised his hand, absorbing Ashley back into Qingming Realm, then summoned Ruan Ruan.
“Boop!” Ruan Ruan jumped onto Su Yuan’s shoulder, nuzzling his face, “Master, have we reached the Southern Continent?”
“Yes.”
Ruan Ruan excitedly looked around.
Su Yuan smiled, pinched it, then leaped towards the west.
This mountain range was vast and full of Star Beasts.
However, Su Yuan needed both Star Dust and Life Soul Yang Qi.
He slayed all Star Beasts encountered along the way effortlessly. The stronger ones were directly sent to Qingming Realm to be dealt with by the Demon Soul…
