Chapter 630: Collapsing dreams! Demon Race Swain descends!

The light continued to fall,

and starlight enveloped everyone.

The next second,

a powerful pulling sensation struck.

It wasn't the pulling sensation of teleportation,

but a pulling sensation of rapid upward movement.

The fifty-four winners were rushing toward the sky at high speed.

The stalactites on the ceiling of the cave gradually magnified in Li Yao’s field of vision.

"Swish."

There was no sensation of collision.

His vision went black, as if he had melted into the rock at the top.

In his perception,

the surrounding auras were still there.

Everyone was rushing upward at high speed.

After about five seconds,

the flight speed slowed down significantly.

It turned from dark to bright.

Everyone appeared in an orange-yellow space,

floating in the air, continuing to rise.

There were no figures around, but the auras were still there.

Around them were dozens of blue light spots, slowly rising.

Li Yao felt that he must have also turned into this kind of light spot.

Soon,

countless auras struck.

Blue light spots, like stars filling the sky, surged in from all directions.

"Is this number... the promotees from other countries?"

Thousands of deep blue light spots met in the orange space

and slowly rose toward the top.

The orange space was vast and bright, as if they were in another world,

dreamlike and illusory.

Just as these subterranean humanoids thought,

being promoted to the Upper City was this kind of dreamlike feeling, as if they were in heaven.

"At this speed, we should have flown several kilometers."

"Are we still within the range of the Gloomy Labyrinth?"

"Or is the flight speed in the array different from what I imagined?"

The flight speed began to gradually increase again.

Li Yao could clearly perceive that

the array energy attached to his body was about to be exhausted.

"Swish!"

The pulling sensation struck again.

The next second,

he felt his feet touch solid ground.

Li Yao looked at his hands; they had returned to their original appearance.

He was still in an orange-yellow space

with hundreds of humanoid races of various appearances.

There were tall, bull-shaped giant beasts over ten meters in size,

and there were humanoid races smaller than Yordles, shaped like butterflies the size of a palm.

But their auras were all roughly the same,

at the Fifth-Turn Lord-level.

"It seems that even if there is a gap in national strength, the conditions for promotion to the Upper City will not change."

"Kujo Mise, Poppy, Tana—they aren't here. Is it random teleportation?"

With a crisp 'crack' sound,

a crack appeared in the orange space.

Immediately after,

like glass shattering, the cracks spread, covering the entire space.

"Ugh!"

Li Yao couldn't help it,

almost vomiting.

The stench!

A stench that hit his brain directly!

It was so foul that he couldn't even distinguish what the smell was.

The orange space dissipated.

What met his eyes was a dim cave.

The surrounding subterranean humanoid races were all similar to Li Yao.

The stench rushed into their nasal cavities without warning, and for a time, various sounds of retching rang out one after another.

Li Yao quickly suppressed the feeling of nausea in his heart

and looked around in horror.

It was similar to the cave when he entered the underground,

but there were bloodstains everywhere.

In the sky, on the ground, on the surrounding stone walls—it was all deep red bloodstains that hadn't completely dried yet!

Li Yao’s heart tightened.

He knew what this smell was.

It was the accumulation of blood for a long time—who knows how many years—

plus

the putrid, fishy smell unique to the Insect Race!

"Ahhhhhhh!"

A shrill scream rang out.

From the cave entrances around the cavern space,

dense, pitch-black insects surged in like a tide.

They quickly covered, swallowed, and devoured a humanoid race closest to the entrance; when the magic insects left its body, not even bones were left.

Its existence only served to dye the scarlet color of the ground even deeper.

All the humanoids looked at this scene in horror.

The future of the Upper City they were fantasizing about a second ago—the next second, they were greeted by these pitch-black, brutal insects?

Are you kidding me!?

"Ahhhhh!"

Screams rang out one after another.

With the heavy blow, plus the fact that these Magic Insect Race members were all over level 100,

even the humanoids promoted to the Upper City

had no ability to resist at all.

The continuous screams and the chewing sounds of insects devouring flesh—

Li Yao only felt his whole body go cold.

Some inexplicable guesses were suddenly linked together.

He hadn't found the Magic Insect Race in the underground kingdoms

because

the entire subterranean world was a slaughterhouse for the Magic Insect Race!

The Lilliput Kingdom,

the Lilliputians' Fury—

now linking it to the Magic Insect Race,

he remembered everything!

During the initial border trial,

when those five mimic magic insects attacked,

they wanted to use [The Lilliputians' Fury] to imprison all the Dragon Kingdom contestants there.

They had devoured the Yordles!

And mastered this ability!

The so-called teleportation array

was actually an imprisonment array.

Even if these humanoid powerhouses promoted to the Upper City could defeat these magic insects, they would absolutely never escape!

They would be swallowed by countless magic insects and worn down to death here!

"Kujo Mise?"

"Li Yao-kun?"

Two voices rang out through the Sound Snail at the same time.

Li Yao said quickly, "The distance between us won't be too far. Next, I will release all my momentum."

"When you perceive it, use the Trickster’s Mirror to have the replicated creature bring you to join me."

(This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!)

Li Yao paused, his voice solemn. "In the place where you are, are Poppy and Tana there?"

"Yes!"

"Tana is here, but I don't see Poppy!"

"Good," Li Yao was overjoyed. "Bring Tana to find me."

The next second,

"Boom!"

Several chess pieces descended.

Li Yao’s aura soared to the extreme.

The entire cave space was trembling.

Blue flames of energy shot into the sky!

The surrounding humanoid races were all blown away by this aura.

All the Magic Insect Race members present stopped their bodies, looking at Li Yao with fear in their eyes.

In the distance,

about several kilometers away,

Kujo Mise captured that aura, which was as bright as the sun.

She took a mirror out of her storage ring.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't use this trump card during the Promotion Battle!"

Kujo Mise sighed with lingering fear.

The next second,

a white figure appeared before her eyes.

Around them were countless powerful magic insects, devouring the bodies of the humanoids.

Kujo Mise didn't dare to hesitate.

She gave the order.

She only felt her waist tighten, and the things around her retreated rapidly; she couldn't see clearly at all.

Within a few seconds,

a petite figure appeared beside her, held by the other hand of the mirror-image Kai'Sa.

Immediately after, the mirror-image Kai'Sa rushed toward that terrifying aura.

Tana was still in a dazed state.

Li Yao and Kujo Mise’s feelings might not be quite as obvious.
