Chapter 419: The Chaos Insect King

What kind of existence could a demonic beast be that requires several Great Vehicle stage cultivators to join forces just to seal it? At this moment, the Great Vehicle stage is still a distant, unreachable dream for Zhang Nuo! It is impossible to imagine what the divine abilities of the Great Vehicle stage might be like! Yet, even such great beings were unable to slay that powerful demonic beast!

Wouldn't that demonic beast's strength be even more terrifying? Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo finally asked a question, seeing that Chunyangzi had been slow to reveal its name.

"Senior, what is the name of that demonic beast?"

"The Chaos Insect King! Legend has it that this insect king has existed since the Chaos Era when heaven and earth first opened! And it has lived until the present day! All insect-type demonic beasts in the world are its descendants! Of course, this is just a legend, and no one has been able to verify it! However, kid Zhang, that Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect of yours is very likely a descendant of the 'Chaos Insect King'!"

This time, Zhang Nuo was completely dumbfounded! The 'Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect' could be of the 'Chaos Insect King's' bloodline! This seemed somewhat incredible!

"I still remember that the moment the 'Chaos Insect King' was sealed by several Great Vehicle stage cultivators, it scattered insect eggs into various realms! Many of those eggs were lost passing through the spatial rifts between interfaces! However, several still safely reached different interfaces, and when you obtained the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect, its form was precisely an egg!"

Chunyangzi spoke with such vivid detail that Zhang Nuo did not take this matter as a joke. If Xuan Jin really was of the 'Chaos Insect King's' bloodline, wouldn't he be driving the bloodline of a generation of demonic insects? Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo couldn't help but shiver violently!

With his mind distracted like this, Jiemie Heshang behind him quickly caught up!

"Kid Zhang, what are you thinking about? Run faster! That bald donkey is about to catch up!"

Sensing a not-so-weak Spiritual Pressure, Chunyangzi immediately shouted a warning! Zhang Nuo looked back and saw, sure enough, a skeleton riding a streak of light whistling toward him! He accelerated with the wings on his back, once again widening the distance between the two!

"Zhang Nuo! You stop right there! You cannot escape from the palm of this old monk!"

The monk behind was somewhat enraged by the chase. He had never had such a difficult time when he was pursuing Nanxuan Laozu, yet now, a young cultivator's escape speed had actually reached a level similar to his own!

"Senior, where is the 'Chaos Insect King' sealed now? Is it still in the Demon Realm?"

After widening the distance, Zhang Nuo once again concerned himself with the matter of the insect king!

"It is no longer in the Demon Realm; I heard it has been transferred to the Underworld! There, the soul of the 'Chaos Insect King' has been sealed with several types of Restrictions, keeping it in a state of slumber!"

The combined efforts of several major realms were still unable to slay the 'Chaos Insect King', which was equivalent to leaving behind a scourge! Zhang Nuo thought about the insect king, and before he knew it, he had flown over ten thousand miles!

Jiemie Heshang behind him pursued relentlessly; it looked like he was determined to capture Zhang Nuo today and extract the Underworld cultivation method he knew!

Zhang Nuo also went all out, not daring to stop for even a moment, letting the monk curse and threaten behind him. Along the way, he encountered many cultivators, but no one dared to stop the monk! No one understood why a skeleton was chasing a cultivator, and the two just kept running wildly, tireless!

Five days later, while in his streak of light, Zhang Nuo suddenly discovered that a large number of cultivators had gathered at a spot ahead, numbering several dozen! Moreover, the cultivation of these people was not weak, all being around the Nascent Soul Stage!

Having finally found a place with many people, Zhang Nuo dove in without a second thought! These past few days, the monk behind him had been like a madman; there were a few times he had almost been caught!

As soon as Zhang Nuo's figure rushed into the crowd, it immediately drew everyone's gaze. When the light dispersed and revealed his true appearance, the expressions of these people changed; some were shocked, some were angry, and others were overjoyed!

"Number Four!"

As soon as Zhang Nuo stood still, a shout from an old man came from the crowd to the side. Zhang Nuo turned his head to look; it was Zhou Huizheng. How could he have ended up here? Beyond where his gaze reached, besides Zhou Huizheng, there were also Su Mubai and Su Haizhen! Just as Zhang Nuo was about to call out Zhou Huizheng's name, several not-so-weak Spiritual Pressures suddenly acted upon him in unison. Feeling slightly startled, his gaze fell upon those people once again!

Upon looking, Zhang Nuo felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. He saw Wei Shang, Gui Yibu, and several fellows who held grudges against him were all here! There were also over a dozen other cultivators who harbored great hostility toward him!

With a flash of his figure, Zhang Nuo arrived in front of Zhou Huizheng.

"Pavilion Master, why are you all here?"

"I thought something had happened to you! Look down!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo return safe and sound, Zhou Huizheng was so happy he couldn't close his mouth. At such a critical moment, Zhang Nuo's appearance was undoubtedly an injection of powerful strength for the Giant Spirit Pavilion!

Zhang Nuo looked down in the direction of Zhou Huizheng's finger and saw a bottomless giant pool below! This pool was a hundred feet wide and filled with water, but the water in the pool seemed very special. Even though Zhang Nuo was hundreds of feet above the water, he still felt a bone-chilling coldness from it! This was actually a Cold Pool!

"This..."

Before Zhang Nuo could even ask anything, he saw a streak of light speeding from the direction he had come. In the blink of an eye, it arrived here as well. When the light faded, a white bone skeleton was revealed! This time, everyone's attention was drawn over, and even the few people who had grudges against Zhang Nuo shifted their gazes to the skeleton!

"Zhang Nuo! Get out here for this old monk!"

Jiemie Heshang's Divine Sense swept over and discovered Zhang Nuo standing in the crowd. Regardless of who the cultivators here were, he let out a loud shout, the sound of which shook the entire sky! Even the surface of the pool below rippled!

"He's over there!"

Before Zhang Nuo could speak, a cultivator reached out and pointed directly at the spot where Zhang Nuo was standing! Zhang Nuo was so angry his teeth itched! Who was this? How could someone be so shameless to this extent! Turning his head to look, it was none other than Gui Yibu!

With a face full of fawning expressions, Gui Yibu had discovered that the white bone skeleton's strength was not weak and figured it must be a ruthless character. He hated Zhang Nuo to the bone, and now that he could finally borrow someone else's hand to eliminate Zhang Nuo, he shouted loudly!

"Gui Yibu! You are courting death!"

Zhang Nuo's anger flared up, and he was just about to rush over to deal with Gui Yibu, but at this moment, Jiemie Heshang chanted a Buddhist name:

"Amitabha! Donor Zhang, you have fled for so long, yet you still could not escape from my palm! Come with me; do you really want this old monk to take action?"

"Hmph! I, Zhang Nuo, am not someone who scares easily! If you have the ability, let's have a contest!"

After fleeing for many days, Zhang Nuo finally realized that continuing to flee like this was simply not a solution. In terms of cultivation, he was not as high as Jiemie Heshang, and in the end, he would still be caught once his Spiritual Qi was exhausted! It would be better to take advantage of the fact that Zhou Huizheng and the others were also here and fight it out with the monk!

"Hehe! Very well! This old monk also wants to see what kind of divine abilities a fledgling kid like you has!"

As the monk spoke, he flipped his white, bony palm, and several prayer beads flew out! Zhang Nuo flicked his sleeves several times, and several not-so-weak Magic Treasures were revealed, including the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler' and the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors'.

As soon as Wei Shang saw the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', his eyes flared with rage; those were his son's items, yet now they were in Zhang Nuo's hands!

"This fellow Daoist! I can lend you a helping hand!"

"Get lost!"

Seeing the skeleton about to take action against Zhang Nuo, Wei Shang wanted to join the fray to conveniently eliminate him, but he did not expect that as soon as his words left his mouth, Jiemie Heshang replied with just one word!

In front of so many people, Wei Shang's old face turned red and then white. Regardless, he was a dignified Sect Leader, yet he had been scolded back like this; he had lost all face!

"Wei Shang! If you have the ability, let's fight one-on-one. You are actually capable of such villainous behavior as taking advantage of someone in a precarious situation!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Wei Shang coldly and said this to intentionally humiliate him.

"Zhang Nuo!"

He was grinding his teeth so hard they were about to shatter. If not for the white bone skeleton, Wei Shang would have rushed over right now to smash Zhang Nuo into smithereens.

Suddenly, a figure flashed. Without any warning, Jiemie Heshang's body lunged violently toward Zhang Nuo. At the same time, two prayer beads from his hand flew out, transforming in mid-air into two demonic lions over a zhang long! They let out earth-shaking roars and pounced toward Zhang Nuo!

"You all move aside!"

After saying this to Zhou Huizheng and Su Haizhen, Zhang Nuo reached out and grabbed the small ruler in front of him. With a flick of his wrist, a silver ray from the ruler tore through the void and struck one of the demonic lions directly!

With a muffled boom, the demonic lion transformed from the prayer bead seemed to lose its power and fell headlong toward the Cold Pool below! Almost at the same time, Zhang Nuo struck backhand again, and the other demonic lion was also knocked flying far away!

The reason Zhang Nuo had no way to deal with the demonic lions back then was because his cultivation was too low to contend with them, but now it was different. With his Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, the power of the Measuring Heaven Ruler was many times greater than before!

The moment Zhang Nuo made his move, a look of surprise flashed across Wei Shang's eyes! Although he had never seen the Measuring Heaven Ruler, he had heard of the power of this Magic Treasure! The Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set: 'Measuring Heaven Ruler', 'Heaven Splitting Scissors', 'Heaven Opening Axe', and 'Heaven Breaking Hammer'! He currently possessed the 'Heaven Opening Axe', while Zhang Nuo had the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler' and the 'Heaven Splitting Scissors'. By this count, only the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer' was missing!

He truly had not expected that the four Magic Treasures he had been painstakingly searching for for hundreds of years would suddenly appear in two pieces today! Because of this, Wei Shang had an even greater urge to kill Zhang Nuo!

Seeing Zhang Nuo easily neutralize the demonic lions' attack, Jiemie Heshang was somewhat surprised! However, relying on his cultivation being higher than Zhang Nuo's, he moved his Divine Sense and summoned the two demonic lions back to his side. As the flames of the Relic at his chest ignited, he prepared to use a high-power technique.

Suddenly, the monk's body froze in place, and within his pitch-black eye sockets, Demonic Qi churned in terror for a few moments before his gaze turned toward the distant sky in a certain direction!
