Chapter 2313: Encountered an Attack

Two large black hands slammed onto the body of the Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm. The worm immediately flew backward, crashing into the stone wall.

The stone cave shook violently. A large amount of shattered rock rolled down from the stone wall and fell onto the ground.

Soon, holes appeared one by one in the stone wall, and millions of Silver-Armored Worms burrowed out, lunging at Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng released his Qilin Tortoise. Countless silver electrical arcs surged across the tortoise's body. It opened its massive maw and spat out a silver light, which flew high into the sky, transforming into a huge thundercloud that hovered above.

After a rumbling sound of thunder echoed, silver lightning bolts flew out one by one, striking the Silver-Armored Worms.

Lower-tier Silver-Armored Worms were struck by the silver lightning. Even low-grade Level 5 Silver-Armored Worms couldn't withstand a few strikes from the Qilin Tortoise. While they were difficult to damage with magical treasures, this did not apply to lightning-attribute spells.

Deafening thunder roared. As soon as the Silver-Armored Worms approached within a thousand zhang of Wang Changsheng, they were struck by dense silver lightning bolts, turning to dust.

The Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm let out an extremely strange shriek. A gigantic phantom image of a beetle appeared out of thin air, its head shimmering with silver light.

It had used Silver Adamantite Crystals to condense its Dharma Aspect, specifically its head.

From each of the beetle's eyes, a silver light shot out, heading straight for Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng snorted softly. The humanoid phantom opened its mouth and let out a mighty roar, spraying out a misty blue sound wave.

The two silver lights collided with the blue sound wave, instantly exploding. The powerful blast shattered the ground, kicking up dust.

The humanoid phantom let out a deafening roar. The void vibrated and warped, causing most of the Silver-Armored Worms to fall from mid-air.

Soul Suppressing Roar!

The beetle phantom became indistinct, almost dissipating.

The same divine ability, when unleashed by a Dharma Aspect, possessed greater power.

Its finger gently pointed forward. Countless blue water vapor emerged, blurring into a long blue rainbow that shot straight towards the opponent.

The blue rainbow struck the head of the beetle phantom, emitting a muffled thud.

A flicker of surprise appeared in Wang Changsheng's eyes. It seemed the effect of condensing a Dharma Aspect with Silver Adamantite Crystals was indeed impressive.

Wang Changsheng snorted coldly and formed a hand seal. The upper body of the humanoid phantom radiated dazzling blue light. Its right hand slapped towards the void, causing countless blue water vapor to surge forth, transforming into a misty blue sky-reaching giant hand. It struck forward, and wherever the giant hand passed, thick, long cracks appeared in the void, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm sensed the terrifying pressure emanating from the sky-reaching giant hand. The beetle phantom glowed with a burst of dazzling silver light, opened its mouth, and sprayed out a shimmering silver sound wave to meet the attack.

The silver sound wave collided with the sky-reaching giant hand, unleashing a powerful air current. However, the silver sound wave quickly dissipated.

The sky-reaching giant hand struck the beetle phantom's body. The beetle phantom instantly exploded, transforming into scattered points of spiritual light and vanishing.

The earth shook violently. A gigantic pit was created in the ground by the sky-reaching giant hand. The Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm lay in the pit, slowly crawling out, with several terrifying cracks on its body.

"It's still not dead!"

Wang Changsheng frowned. Any other Level 6 demon beast would have long turned into minced flesh.

The humanoid phantom pointed a finger, and a blue rainbow shot out. The Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm's head exploded, turning into a heap of minced flesh.

Wang Changsheng released his Gold-Devouring Ants, instructing them to devour the Silver-Armored Worms' corpses. The Gold-Devouring Ant Queen flew to the corpse of the Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm, consumed the corpse and its demon core, and pulled out a millstone-sized crystal. It was entirely silver with some golden patterns.

This was a unique metal cultivated by the Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm after consuming a large amount of metallic ore. It was an excellent material for refining heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. Wang Changsheng put it into his storage ring.

Once the Level 6 Silver-Armored Worm died, the remaining Silver-Armored Worms were no match for Wang Changsheng. With the cooperation of the Qilin Tortoise, he quickly eliminated most of them, while the Gold-Devouring Ants frantically consumed their corpses.

He formed a hand seal. The humanoid phantom moved its arms, smashing towards the silver-glowing stone wall.

After a series of deafening roars, the stone wall tore open.

A short while later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Sen walked out of the cave. There weren't many Silver Adamantite Crystals left; the Silver-Armored Worms had devoured quite a few, and some had been turned in. Still, a good amount remained.

As soon as they walked out of the cave, ripples spread above their heads. A small, golden-shimmering pagoda appeared out of thin air, instantly expanding in size. At the same time, it sprayed out a golden light, enveloping Wang Changsheng and Wang Sen, pulling them towards the giant golden pagoda.

Wang Changsheng's body erupted with dazzling blue light. With a loud roar, the void vibrated and warped.

The golden light slowed down. Taking this opportunity, Wang Changsheng moved his arms, striking the golden light. The golden light tore open, and he and Wang Sen flew out.

They hadn't flown far when a powerful gravitational force suddenly came from the ground. Both of them rapidly plunged towards the ground.

Almost simultaneously, ripples spread above their heads. A misty green sky-reaching giant hand appeared out of thin air. The giant hand was composed of countless green flames, emanating astonishing heat waves, and slapped towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Sen.

Wang Changsheng moved both fists, striking the giant hand above his head.

With a tremendous roar, the sky-reaching giant hand instantly exploded, and rolling flames engulfed Wang Changsheng and Wang Sen.

Soon, a dazzling spiritual light illuminated the sea of fire. A gigantic humanoid phantom appeared out of thin air, its hands slapping towards the ground.

After a series of tremendous roars, black hands flew out one by one, striking in all directions.

With deafening crashes, the ground shattered, dust flew everywhere, and smoke billowed.

"Only at the initial Void Refinement stage, yet your Dharma Aspect has condensed by almost half—nearly catching up to an Integration stage cultivator. It seems you are an elite of the human race! Then we absolutely cannot let you go. Leave no survivors; kill them all."

A cold female voice suddenly rang out.

A ball of green fire emerged from the void. After a blur, it transformed into a tall young woman in a green dress, with some red spiritual patterns on her face. Judging by her spiritual power fluctuations, she was clearly a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

The young woman in the green dress had a look of apprehension in her eyes. Even an elite of the Fiery Spirit Race could not condense their Dharma Aspect by nearly half at the initial Void Refinement stage; condensing a fifth of it was already considered quite good.

Two yellow lights suddenly flew out from the ground, disappearing into the sea of fire.

A moment later, the sea of fire dispersed. There was a huge pit on the ground. Inside the pit was a humanoid statue, which was Wang Sen. Wang Changsheng was nowhere to be seen, and his Dharma Aspect had also dissipated.

Dozens of miles away, countless blue water vapor suddenly surged in the void. After a blur, it transformed into Wang Changsheng's appearance.

Since entering the Barren Lands, his avatar and the Level 5 Talisman Soldiers had helped him lure demon beasts, turning dangers into safety on many occasions. He hadn't expected his avatar to perish at the hands of another race.

Most importantly, Wang Changsheng hadn't detected any enemies ambushing him in the dark. He suffered a huge loss: his avatar was destroyed.

Strange treasure? Secret technique?

The Fiery Spirit Race is not skilled in artifact refining. For a Fiery Spirit member to possess a strange treasure that can conceal their form, they should be an elite disciple of the Fiery Spirit Race. Logically, they wouldn't venture into the Barren Lands. As for secret techniques, he had never heard of the Fiery Spirit Race being skilled in concealment arts. Recalling the gravity he felt earlier, Wang Changsheng thought of one race: the Spirit Race.
