Chapter 1207: Chapter 1206: The Wudao Saint Heir Reveals His Skill

[In the dead of night, everyone had already fallen asleep. Xiao Gou drank coffee to stay awake and finally finished writing the fourth Chapter. Unable to keep going, he went to sleep, hoping that when he wakes up, his hard work won’t have been in vain, and he will see many monthly votes and rewards...]

The Devouring God Worm is a type of Demon Worm, specializing in consuming the flesh and Divine Thought of Martial Artists for Cultivation. Once infected, a Martial Artist’s flesh and Divine Thought suffer dual attacks in an instant. At best, they are left with severe, incurable injuries; at worst, they perish with their bodies and spirits extinguished on the spot. This Devouring God Worm once stirred up a wave of panic in the Martial Arts World. Many Martial Arts Experts had these worms unknowingly enter their bodies, and by the time they realized, it was too late, facing inevitable annihilation. Finally, a Great Divine Ability User appeared, found the worm’s lair, and eradicated it, gradually calming this disaster that had spread throughout the Martial Arts World. However, to everyone’s surprise, such Devouring God Worms were still in the inheritance world of the Taishi family, making it impossible to guard against them!

The Wudao Saint Child was right; for the Tripod Sect Elder who only lost an arm and an eye, and the man from the Xinyang family, they were lucky. These two Devouring God Worms didn’t take their lives instantly but only caused some damage to their bodies and Divine Thought, allowing them to retrieve a life.

However, just as everyone marveled at the power of the Devouring God Worm and felt relieved, thinking they were safe, the Wudao Saint Child frowned and stared intently at the distant Divine Soil, saying, ”The real crisis has just begun. You go first!”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

Suddenly, such vibrating sounds echoed in everyone’s eardrums, trembling incessantly. Everyone’s heart and spirit were disturbed, feeling on the verge of collapse. Ye Tianchen was taken aback, quickly suppressing the Martial Arts True Qi fluctuating inside him, and looked towards the Divine Soil, where bits of light rose, emitting a strange power, making everyone feel unsteady, as if about to fall. In an instant, they all charged at the six of Ye Tianchen, moving incredibly fast, numbering at least in the millions.

”Quickly, leave! It’s a large swarm of Devouring God Worms, get out of here!”

The Wudao Saint Child stood at the front, continuously forming seals with his hands while loudly speaking. The quickest ones were the Tripod Sect Elder and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, who hurried towards the exit of the passage. After exchanging a glance, the old man with the smoking pipe and the woman with the veiled face followed closely behind. With a swift movement, Ye Tianchen did not leave but stood next to the Wudao Saint Child, saying, ”Let me help you!”

”Thank you, Taoist friend, but you’d better leave first. I have a Secret Technique to deal with these Devouring God Worms,” the Wudao Saint Child glanced at Ye Tianchen and said.

Seeing the Wudao Saint Child filled with confidence and determination, Ye Tianchen nodded, avoiding becoming a burden to others, and quickly dashed towards the passage exit.

Once the Tripod Sect Elder, the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, the old man with the smoking pipe, the woman with the veiled face, and Ye Tianchen rushed out of the passage entrance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Devouring God Worm is no joke; if tainted with just one, you would be extinguished instantly. No matter how powerful you are, you couldn’t deal with thousands of Devouring God Worms. It seems the person the Taishi family used to refine this small world had long anticipated invaders one day, intending to plunder the Taishi family’s heritage. So, many Devouring God Worms were buried under the Divine Soil. In this small world, everyone’s Divine Thought and senses were distorted, not that sharp, and seeing so much Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine, anyone would go crazy. How could they have imagined that beneath the Divine Soil lay these Devouring God Worms? Just now, the Tripod Sect Elder and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family picked a lot of Spirit Grass and Divine Medicine, likely alarming the Devouring God Worms beneath the Divine Soil. Who knows how long they’ve been breeding and surviving underneath, probably just a bit slow to react, or else they would have been doomed as soon as they tried to pick the Spirit Grass Divine Medicine!

”Damn, I never expected these Devouring God Worms to be so powerful, but luckily we’re safe now!” the Tripod Sect Elder said with a relieved expression.

”Getting so much Spirit Grass and Divine Medicine is enough!” The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family also smiled and said.

”Hmph! You two just got away with your lives, and while we’ve made it out, the Wudao Saint Child is still inside, his fate unknown. Your shameless ingratitude is truly admirable!” the old man with the smoking pipe said disdainfully.

”I hope he can come out safely!” the woman with the veiled face also spoke.

Ye Tianchen frowned, equally worried about the Wudao Saint Child. To be honest, among everyone present, if it weren’t for the Wudao Saint Child, they might all be dead. And Ye Tianchen, the old man with the smoking pipe, and the woman with the veiled face initially wanted to rush toward the Divine Soil to pick the Spirit Grass Divine Medicine. Were it not for the Wudao Saint Child’s desperate prevention, they would likely have ended no better than the Tripod Sect Elder and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, even if they didn’t perish. However, when the massive swarm of Devouring God Worms erupted, the Wudao Saint Child took the lead, letting others escape first, staying behind himself. Such fearless, self-sacrificing spirit is truly admirable and is rare in the Martial Arts World!

”Hehe, that was his choice. In the Wudao Sacred Land, every one of them is upright and righteous. That’s their nature!” the Tripod Sect Elder chuckled disdainfully.

”Indeed, we didn’t force him to do that; it’s his own will. Let him be the hero!” the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said heartlessly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen sensed an extraordinary power emanating from the second passage entrance. This power was filled with demonic nature, unlike anything a regular Martial Artist could emit. It was akin to power unleashed by someone who had succumbed to demonic influence, transformed into a Demon. What is happening?

Swoosh!

A figure rushed out from the second passage entrance; it was the Wudao Saint Child. Covered in sweat, it seemed he had gone through a fierce battle. He rushed out without stopping, continuously forming seals with his hands. Finally, he struck a palm at the edge of the second passage entrance, and instantly, numerous runes appeared, spreading over the entire passage entrance, forming an array barrier.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Many Devouring God Worms were battering the barrier, filled with a desperate urge to break through. However, when these worms hit the array barrier, a surge of black flames ignited on the array and the barrier, burning and killing many Devouring God Worms instantly.

”Such powerful black flames! They can even burn the invincible Demon Worms to death. Truly remarkable!” said the elder with a pipe, looking at the Wudao Saint Child.

The Wudao Saint Child released his hands, then smiled at everyone present and said, ”You flatter me; it was indeed perilous just now!”

”Thank you for the rescue!” said the veiled woman politely.

”No need for thanks. As martial artists of this martial arts world, we should unite and seek the Immortal Path together,” the Wudao Saint Child said earnestly.

Ye Tianchen nodded. The Wudao Saint Child indeed seemed righteous and possessed a great sense of justice, unlike those despicable scoundrels. Along the journey, he had saved everyone multiple times. Just considering the Devouring God Worms, without the Wudao Saint Child, they would be severely injured even if they weren’t killed!

”The only passage left is the third one. You mentioned there is a stele there; could there be another huge crisis?” The Tripod Sect Elder still seemed fearful, afraid of encountering something even more terrifying than the Devouring God Worms.

”I don’t know. I haven’t sensed anything unusual there, and perhaps it’s better not to take the risk. The third passage very likely holds the inheritance of the Taishi family’s Martial Arts Divine Skill, and there’s a gigantic stele that might record the cultivation skill of the Burning Sky Finger,” the Wudao Saint Child replied, shaking his head.

”What? Burning Sky Finger? We must go and see...” exclaimed the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family excitedly.

”Right, we’ve come this far. Should we wait another five hundred years? We must go and take a look!” The Tripod Sect Elder showed his greed, unsatisfied even after acquiring so many Spiritual Grass Divine Medicines; he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Burning Sky Finger.

The elder with a pipe, the veiled woman, and Ye Tianchen all exchanged glances. To be honest, everyone wanted to obtain the Burning Sky Finger inheritance; anyone would want to see it for themselves. After all, the ”Burning Sky Finger” is hailed as one of the most formidable Martial Arts Divine Skills in the martial arts world. Who wouldn’t want its inheritance?

”I want to see it too!” laughed the elder with a pipe.

”Let’s give it a try!” said the veiled woman.

Ye Tianchen nodded. They had come this far, with only the last passage remaining, and they had to give it a try. Otherwise, should they wait another five hundred years, who knows what the world will look like then? Who could assure their survival for another five hundred years? The martial arts world is ruthless, where the strong prey on the weak, and no one can predict what will happen next.

The Wudao Saint Child glanced at everyone and then spoke, ”Since everyone insists on seeing it through, I’ll lead the charge. I hope everyone will be cautious. There are still many unknowns here, and what we are about to encounter likely relates to the Taishi family’s inheritance — their most significant secret. It’s hard to believe there won’t be any danger!” (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com.
