A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 549: Devouring Flood Dragon

Han Li narrowed his eyes as the scene not far away came into view.

Under the devouring attack of the golddevourer worms, the poisonous flood dragon’s scales finally began to collapse. However, the consequence of its flesh being torn apart was that countless blood auras burst out from its body, transforming large swarms of flying insects into poisonous water. Before long, the dense beetles covering the poisonous flood dragon had almost all disappeared.

At this time, the poisonous flood dragon was already battered all over, with large amounts of bright green fresh blood oozing from its body. Its gaze toward Han Li was filled with deep hatred.

Han Li’s heart tightened — the name “poisonous flood dragon” was certainly not an empty title.

The golddevourer worms had evolved to a level where ordinary magical treasures could hardly harm them, yet under the spray of this poisonous blood, the dragon was so easily wiped out. This showed just how lethal the poison was.

But then a cold smile appeared on Han Li’s face.

What this demon didn’t know was that his flying insects were not just these few. Even if the golddevourer worms had lost more than half their number, these three demons had to be wiped out one by one if possible.

Thinking this, he quickly turned his gaze to the other side, where a turtle demon was completely covered by a swarm of flying insects.

The sound of gnawing, a constant “rustling,” had never stopped, but the pile of insects had become motionless.

If it weren’t for the faint signs of demonic aura still present inside, and the high bulging of the insect mound, Han Li would have almost thought this demon was already dead.

Although doubts surged in his mind, Han Li had no time to think further. His expression darkened as he flicked both hands in the air, summoning several spiritual beast pouches.

Immediately, the sound of countless insects’ wings filled the entire forging room. Over a hundred thousand tricolor golddevourer worms swarmed across the rooftop, completely covering it.

Seeing such a massive number of flying insects, the poisonous flood dragon’s expression changed sharply, then turned into despair.

Feng Xi, bathed in white light, also showed a sudden change in expression — a look of shock.

It must be known that, compared to ordinary spiritual beasts, colony-living spiritual insects have a shorter breeding period and lay many eggs at once, but even so, one full breeding cycle could take over a hundred years. After they recognize their master and hatch, it takes decades of training to become truly usable. Moreover, the greater the power and the higher the rank of the spiritual insect, the longer the time required.

Therefore, in the immortal cultivation world, while many cultivators know insect repelling techniques, those famous throughout the Chaotic Star Sea for their insect-controlling abilities are rare. Especially after reaching the foundation formation stage, such cultivators are seldom heard of.

Most insect-repelling cultivators can only hope to have a scale of over a thousand spiritual insects in their lifetime. Even then, it usually requires passing down the insects from master to disciple for generations to barely reach such numbers.

Furthermore, spiritual insects are far more fragile than other spiritual beasts. It is common for all the insects to be wiped out in a single magic duel. This is why few cultivators, despite knowing the power of spiritual insects, choose to cultivate insect repelling techniques.

Feng Xi and the poisonous flood dragon had already witnessed the brutality of Han Li’s golddevourer worms. Even as eighth and ninth-level demonic beasts, they found them terrifying. Hence, seeing Han Li release such a massive swarm left the two demons incredulous.

Of course, they did not know that these golddevourer worms were not fully evolved mature forms; otherwise, their faces would have paled even more.

Han Li ignored the rage and resentment glowing in the poisonous flood dragon’s eyes. With a flicker of his divine sense, the entire swarm of insects suddenly roared in chorus, dividing into several groups and wildly attacking the poisonous flood dragon.
