Chapter 318: Your carapace isn't as hard as your mouth

West.

Saint Luo Empire.

The continuous war caused the Saint Luo Empire's front lines to shrink, and the towns in the coastal seas were basically all lost.

Civilians all retreated inland.

The capital, Sola Luo.

Several Martial Saints gathered here for a brief meeting.

Martial Saint John frowned and spoke: "How is the situation now?"

Bearded white-haired Eric gulped a mouthful of rum: "Not optimistic, sea beasts run rampant, mainly those evil spirits that came out of nowhere!"

John slammed the table: "Damn it! Where did those Void Worms come from! One after another!"

Eric belched, exhaling strong alcohol: "Alright, at least news came from Dawu letting us know that the evil spirits have a portal."

"Otherwise we'd really be clueless."

John's brows locked tight: "If we count the time, if Saint Jia's team is fast, they should already be back."

"We also don't know how the situation is."

Not long after the words fell, a martial artist at the Elemental Elixir Realm ran in from outside, his face full of excitement.

"Lord Saint Jia! Lord Saint Jia and them have returned! He came back from Dawu!"

The few Martial Saints in the room glanced at each other, all seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

Dawu's reinforcements have arrived! The Saint Luo Empire is saved!

Several people quickly rose, intending to go outside the hall to greet.

Just as they stepped out of the hall, they happened to see Shen Qing descending.

John's face immediately lit up with a smile, he stepped forward and clasped Shen Qing's hands.

"I remember you, you're Shen Qing, right?"

"Hello, hello."

Saying that, John leaned forward to observe Shen Qing's back, wanting to see if any other Dawu people were present.

Shen Qing knew what he was thinking and said: "No need to look, this time only I came alone."

As soon as he said that, John froze, his expression stiffening on his face.

"Ah?"

"Only you?"

Shen Qing's voice flat: "I know you have many questions, but I don't really want to explain to you."

"When the evil spirits appear and we fight, you'll understand."

Saying that, Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: "Moreover, it seems an opportunity is coming up soon!"

Having said that, Shen Qing lifted his head, looking toward a direction in the sky.

John, Eric, and the Holy Capital's officials focused their gaze on the direction Shen Qing was looking, but no matter how they looked, there was only blue sky and white clouds, with nothing amiss.

Just as John and Yuelike thought Shen Qing was playing mystic tricks, a heavenly anomaly occurred: in the sky Shen Qing was looking at, a purple rift appeared, as if something was tearing the void.

In the next moment, a heaven-shaking roar echoed throughout Sola Luo; a ferocious terrifying purple worm head appeared in the void, and then the worm's body slowly emerged from the crack, its body resembling a centipede, segment after segment, and beneath its body hid countless dense evil spirits.

Eric's face changed drastically: "It's a Void Worm!!!"

And John's gaze focused on Shen Qing's face; if he had doubts about Shen Qing just now, he is now basically convinced.

Because Shen Qing detected the Void Worm at least one or two breaths earlier than them, this is not only a sign of keen senses but also proof of strength.

In the sky, the Void Worm spread its limbs, and evil spirits fell like raindrops onto Sola Luo.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes at the Void Worm: "Void Worm, what is this thing? Is it an evil spirit?"

Back in Dawu, Chen Wendao and Zhu Wu had given Shen Qing a bestiary of evil spirits, but this thing wasn't in it.

John explained: "No, it's not an evil spirit; this Void Worm is a special creature existing in the void, its thick carapace can resist the void's corrosion, and its species also has the ability to tear open the void; even without reaching the Land God Immortal realm, they can rend the void and wander within it."

Shen Qing's eyes gradually brightened, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rising.

"Can they rend the void without reaching the Land God Immortal realm?"

"You Saint Luo Empire still have such good stuff?!"

John, Eric: "???"

In the next instant, the dragon-elephant roar sounded, clashing with the Void Worm's howl; Shen Qing overloaded the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power, white mist rose, and his awakened posture ran at full power.

With a bang, a terrifying shockwave erupted; Shen Qing had already turned into a terrifying beam of light shooting toward the Void Worm.

Traveling through the void? This ability is really useful, Shen Qing has wanted it for a long time.

Today he finally encountered an opportunity, which naturally cannot be missed.

John's mouth gaped open, astonished at Shen Qing's speed; although still not as fast as him, you should know, he is a Ninth Layer Martial Saint, while Shen Qing's cultivation is only Fifth Layer Elemental Elixir Realm.

Eric shouted from the side: "Shen Qing! His carapace is thick, able to resist the void; ordinary Ninth Layer Martial Saints find it hard to pierce! Watch out, don't attack his carapace!"

This is also why the Saint Luo Empire is now so miserable; it's hard to pierce the Void Worm's carapace, and moreover the Void Worm comes and goes without trace, each time dropping a large batch of evil spirits before vanishing into the void, and when it reappears it brings many more evil spirits.

In the Void Worm's dark pupils flickered a hint of mockery; it looked at the swiftly approaching Shen Qing and spoke in awkward Dawu speech.

"A different face, are you a person of this world's Dawu?"

"What they said is correct; my carapace is very thick, not something you can shatter."

"However, you humans have always not believed in evil."

"Come on, today I will stand here; feel free to attack me! Feel free to please me!"

"Hahaha...."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.

This void worm is good at pretending; Shen Qing won't allow anyone more pretentious than him to appear!

Shen Qing let out a cold snort, blood energy burst forth across his body, a slaughter armor enveloped him, and his strength increased again.

Boom!

The Void Worm's laughter cut off abruptly, and its whole body was smashed, curling up like a shrimp.

Foul-smelling purple blood spilled from the Void Worm's mouth, and it felt as if a planet had just struck its abdomen.

The spot struck by Shen Qing now had a terrifying huge hole, and through that hole one could even see the sky behind it.

Indeed, the Void Worm's hard carapace was directly pierced through by Shen Qing.

The Void Worm's eyes were filled with disbelief.

And Shen Qing's voice had already sounded in the Void Worm's ear.

"Void Worm? Your carapace isn't as hard as your mouth."
