Chapter 2920: Seven-Level Vajra Insect

Cold Moon perished on the spot. While she might have escaped if fighting alone, she was clearly no match when outnumbered. Cold Moon's death utterly terrified Liao Zhongyan, who now faced the attacks of four Integration cultivators.

Liao Zhongyan wasn't arrogant enough to take on four opponents. She had no time to ponder as a crimson-golden firebird lunged at her. Before it even drew near, the void twisted and the ground spontaneously ignited. "Sixth-tier spirit fire!" Liao Zhongyan's face tightened. She conjured a spell, and the female phantom above her head burst forth with blinding golden light, covering a hundred-zhang radius. The crimson-golden firebird immediately stalled upon touching the golden light. Several treasures that followed also halted upon contact with the golden light.

Liao Zhongyan flicked her sleeve, and a golden-glowing command flag flew out. Just then, a sharp, piercing roar echoed, causing Liao Zhongyan to frown. A misty blue sound wave swept in, colliding with the golden light, which shattered and dispersed. The blue sound wave reached Liao Zhongyan. She flipped her right hand, revealing a golden-glowing short blade, and slashed it towards the blue sound wave. With a loud bang, the blue sound wave was shattered by the golden short blade. Liao Zhongyan was also sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

A gust of foul wind blew past, and Bayin appeared, a giant Yaksha phantom hovering above his head. Liao Zhongyan was terrified. The Yaksha race possessed incredibly powerful bodies, able to withstand even Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures. The moment Bayin appeared, ripples spread in the void above him, accompanied by a dull hum. A misty blue giant hand materialized, with a lifelike blue qilin ceaselessly galloping across its surface, as if alive. The Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand! Bayin performed a hand seal, and the Yaksha phantom spewed a misty blue sound wave, while a dazzling blue light erupted from his body. Lei Ran had a higher cultivation level and deeper magic power, so blocking the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand was naturally no problem for him. Bayin, however, could not compare to Lei Ran.

The Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand advanced unstoppably, easily shattering the blue sound wave. It touched the blue light, briefly slowing down, but quickly, the blue light fragmented. The Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand then struck the Yaksha phantom with a muffled thud, causing the phantom's body to tremble slightly. With a clear cry, a stream of golden flames radiating terrifying heat shot forth, striking the Yaksha phantom, which was then engulfed by the golden flames. The Yaksha phantom could no longer withstand the assault and was shattered by the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand.

Bayin spat out a large mouthful of vital blood, his face slightly pale. With a wave of his right hand, a blue-glowing trident flew out, slicing the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand in half and unleashing a terrifying wave of energy. Over a dozen blue-glowing flying swords shot forth—the Heavenly Sound Soul-Slaying Swords. Bayin quickly spewed a misty blue sound wave to meet them. After a series of massive explosions, the blue sound wave was shattered by the blue flying swords. Bayin then wielded his blue trident, smashing the incoming blue flying swords into fragments.

Fluctuations appeared in the void above Bayin's head, and a palm-sized purple miniature mountain materialized, instantly growing larger and crashing down. Before the colossal purple peak even landed, the nearby void twisted and warped. Bayin felt his body become incredibly heavy, as if weighing billions of jin, making it impossible to move an inch. His body erupted with dazzling blue light, his face twisted, and his eyes glinted ferociously as he transformed into a blue-faced, fanged Yaksha. He swung his blue trident, striking towards the colossal purple peak. With a clang of metal, the descent of the colossal purple peak momentarily halted. Bayin's face flushed crimson, his vital energy surged, and his hand felt numb. He opened his mouth and spewed a misty blue sound wave, striking the colossal purple peak, causing it to shake slightly.

Just then, a whooshing sound echoed, and a golden-glowing long spear shot forth, striking the colossal purple peak with a clang. The colossal purple peak remained motionless. The golden long spear disintegrated, transforming into over a hundred thousand Diamond Worms, with the worm king being a low-grade seventh-tier. Over a hundred thousand Diamond Worms swarmed onto the colossal purple peak, beginning to gnaw at it. The peak's spiritual light flickered continuously. "Seventh-tier Diamond Worms! A worm cultivator!" Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He had fought against many Integration-stage exotic cultivators but had never encountered an Integration-stage worm cultivator before. He performed a hand seal, and a stream of purple flames erupted from the colossal purple peak. The low-tier Diamond Worms instantly turned to ash. The colossal purple peak's spiritual light flickered incessantly, and it visibly shrank at a rapid rate. Wang Changsheng frowned, astonished by the incredible biting power of the seventh-tier Diamond Worms! They could even devour medium-grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures. He performed a hand seal, and the colossal purple peak's spiritual light greatly intensified before it exploded, transforming into a dazzling purple light that shot skyward. He had self-destructed his treasure, hoping to eliminate some of the Diamond Worms.

As the purple light dissipated, the number of Diamond Worms was reduced by tens of thousands, but the worm king remained unharmed. Sang Se's face showed a pained expression. Her ancestors had raised Diamond Worms for three generations, and only in her generation had a seventh-tier Diamond Worm been cultivated, along with hundreds of sixth-tier ones. After this exchange, she had destroyed one of Wang Changsheng's medium-grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures, but a quarter of her Diamond Worms were eliminated. This was the drawback of raising spirit worms: casualties were common in combat, and a single battle could wipe them all out. Fortunately, the seventh-tier worm king was safe.

Bayin stood in a giant crater, his aura somewhat weak, covered in dust, with faint blood marks on his face. With a flash of blood-red light, a blood-colored alms bowl materialized out of thin air, instantly expanding in size. Bayin felt the sky darken as a stream of blood-red light descended from above, enveloping him. Just as Bayin was about to evade, a woman's cold shout echoed, causing Bayin to feel his head splitting with pain, unable to stand steadily. By the time he recovered, the blood-red light had enveloped Bayin, sweeping him into the blood-colored alms bowl. Wang Ruyan infused several hand seals into the blood-colored alms bowl, which immediately flared with blood-red light and surged with blood-red flames. She intended to activate the Blood Transformation Bowl to directly refine Bayin.

Sang Se's expression turned cold. She performed a hand seal, and tens of thousands of Diamond Worms suddenly coalesced, forming a golden-glowing long spear that shot directly towards Wang Changsheng. "You all retreat immediately, as far as you can. If you can't rendezvous with us, you can return to the front-line stronghold." Wang Changsheng sent a telepathic message to Wang Chuanming and the others. With the Void Refinement juniors present, they couldn't fight freely. Once the juniors left, they would have no more reservations. Wang Chuanming and the others acknowledged, covering each other as they fled into the distance. The Void Refinement cultivators of the Fiery Spirit Race and Yaksha Race naturally wouldn't let them go and gave chase. It was a battle of equals, and the victor would be determined by sheer superiority.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, let's retreat separately." After saying this, Liao Zhongyan's body erupted with golden light, transforming into a golden rainbow that tore through the air and fled. A tall, thin old man in red robes remained. The old man in red robes was an intermediate-stage Integration cultivator, while the other two exotic Integration cultivators pursued Liao Zhongyan. The Blood Transformation Bowl shook violently. Bayin, being only an early-stage Integration cultivator, found it extremely difficult to escape, unless he could kill Wang Ruyan. Wang Ruyan performed a hand seal, and the Golden Crow spewed a stream of golden flames, heading directly towards the golden long spear.
