Chapter 2013

After thoroughly looting the Ancient Medicine Garden, Jun Xiaoyao also left directly.

He obtained an important piece of information from the silver-armored man.

It can be said that Jun Xiaoyao now, even if he directly returned to the Three Emperors Bastion and then spoke this news out, would be able to obtain quite a bit of merit.

However, the merit obtained in this way would still not be enough to let him completely crush Gu Dizi in the wager.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao could only take action personally.

His figure flashed through the air and departed, continuing deeper into the Shattered Star River.

And the deeper one went into the Shattered Star River, the greater the danger obviously became.

Not to mention a newcomer like Jun Xiaoyao who had just come to the Three Emperors Bastion for training.

Even some veteran Zhenjie Army troops generally would not venture deep into the Gray Mist Zone.

Jun Xiaoyao, it can be said, truly did not know how the word "fear" was written.

The depths of the Shattered Star River were quiet and dead silent.

Previously, before going deep, one would instead occasionally encounter Shi Clan members.

But the deeper one went, the fewer Shi Clan members one encountered instead.

This itself was somewhat abnormal.

Jun Xiaoyao had been continuously activating the Stealing Heaven Changing Sun Great Art, concealing his aura, so he would not be detected by any living being.

After a period of time passed.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression condensed.

Although in the Gray Mist Zone, Primordial Spirit perception would be suppressed.

But Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Spirit, how could it be ordinary? In this situation, it could still spread across an extremely vast distance.

Within his Primordial Spirit perception, there was an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura, faintly emanating out.

It was an aura sufficient to make other Heaven's Chosen and Zhenjie Army troops avoid it like snakes and scorpions.

But Jun Xiaoyao not only did not reveal a fearful expression, he instead flashed toward that aura.

After a moment, finally, the source of that aura appeared within Jun Xiaoyao's field of vision.

It was shockingly an incomparably gigantic black nest!

That nest, like a beehive, was conical in shape, its surface covered with countless holes.

Incomparably massive, like an ancient war fortress, and also like a mountain peak that suppressed the heavens.

Its surface even had some runic killing lights flickering, of the same nature as the Three Emperors Bastion's formation patterns, used to defend against enemies.

Even with Jun Xiaoyao's vision, seeing this boundlessly vast Shi Clan nest, his heart also held a slight sigh of amazement.

He could be considered to have understood why the Shi Clan was so difficult to deal with, and why their threat was so great.

Such a nest, vast like an ancient life star, if it were transmitted into the Realm Sea world.

What kind of destruction would it cause?

Casually, destroying some worlds would be effortless, right?

This time, the Elders of the Three Emperors Bastion also absolutely would not have expected.

That they merely discovered some traces of the Shi Clan, yet a Shi Clan nest actually appeared.

And the appearance of a Shi Clan nest, what did it signify?

It signified the existence of at least an Emperor-level Shi Clan member!

A Shi Clan nest like this, even among the Shi Clan, there are not too many; it counts as an extremely precious existence.

It is precisely for this reason that as long as a Shi Clan nest appears, it represents that there is at least an Emperor-level Shi Clan member sitting in command within.

And what level is an Emperor-level Shi Clan member?

That is a Great Emperor-level existence!

Just ask, is this an existence that the younger generation dares to provoke?

Even all the Zhenjie Army troops who came this time, added together, would be swallowed in one gulp by an Emperor-level Shi Clan member.

Unless a Great Emperor-level figure from Dongling Pass takes action, otherwise no one can handle this kind of situation.

"It really is a dragon's pool and tiger's den, ah."

Looking at that black Shi Clan nest, Jun Xiaoyao even let out a light laugh.

If at this moment, other people saw his actions, they would absolutely think he was going to court death.

However, the one-year wager was nearly due.

Jun Xiaoyao naturally was not prepared to let this opportunity slip by.

Without any hesitation, Jun Xiaoyao's figure seemed to fade into the void, flashing toward the Shi Clan nest.

If it were in a war situation.

The Shi Clan nest would naturally deploy all its defensive measures; Jun Xiaoyao would fundamentally be impossible to enter directly.

But right now, it is not a state of war, so the Shi Clan nest naturally is not guarding so strictly.

Plus, it seems the many Shi Clan members inside the nest have all gone out to hunt other Zhenjie Army squads.

So the Shi Clan nest is somewhat more empty than imagined.

Although on the nest's periphery, there are some Shi Clan guards patrolling back and forth.

But Jun Xiaoyao restrained his aura.

And with him controlling the Void Scripture, void concealment was even more not worth mentioning.

So very quickly, Jun Xiaoyao silently entered into the Shi Clan nest.

The entire Shi Clan nest was incomparably huge, truly like an ancient life star.

Its interior was also intricate and complex, caves and passages everywhere, winding and twisting.

If it is not a creature of the Devouring Clan, once it enters, it will certainly become disoriented.

Moreover, within it, there is a special power that can suppress the divine sense of outsiders.

"This Devouring Clan nest does have a few things going for it."

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

If an external creature were to charge in, unable to sense with divine sense, it would suffer greatly and find it difficult to completely conquer.

Of course, these methods are useless before Jun Xiaoyao's Ganges-level Primordial Spirit.

Jun Xiaoyao can still sense direction and the movements of the Devouring Clan.

"The strongest aura among them is located at the deepest part of the nest."

"Besides, there are also several auras that are not weak..." Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

Those several not-weak auras are much stronger than the silver-armored man Jun Xiaoyao previously slew.

That is to say, those auras belong to King-level Devouring Clan members!

Equivalent to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

This place, let alone for someone of Jun Xiaoyao's young generation,

even for Quasi-Emperor-level powerhouses, is considered a dragon's pool and tiger's den, a near-death situation.

This is practically a nightmare-level dungeon difficulty.

But alas, Jun Xiaoyao has a cheat on him.

What's a nightmare difficulty to him?

Jun Xiaoyao didn't think too much, taking the fastest shortcut, he rushed toward the deepest part of the Devouring Clan nest.

However, on the necessary path, there is still a King-level Devouring Clan aura blocking the way.

Jun Xiaoyao had no hesitation, no delay, and went straight ahead.

At this moment.

In the depths of the Devouring Clan nest, within a broad space,

there is a figure sitting cross-legged, its aura subdued.

Merely a humanoid figure, yet it is extremely chilling.

Because this figure, shockingly, has three heads!

The middle one is a normal human head.

While on the left is a black flood dragon head, and on the right is a spider head.

It looks horrifyingly strange, truly like fragments of different creatures pieced together.

From this, one can see how terrifying this Devouring Clan creature is, giving people a sense of eeriness and bone-chilling dread.

And what makes one's scalp tingle even more is.

On the back of this figure, shockingly, there are eight spider legs.

Each one is extremely sharp, like steel war spears, capable of easily piercing the void.

This Devouring Clan creature looks too terrifying.

Humanoid body, three heads, eight spider legs—no matter how you look at it, it is eerily strange.

At a certain moment, this three-headed Devouring Clan creature suddenly sensed something.

"Who!?"

At the cave entrance ahead, a white-clad figure came leisurely with hands behind its back.

"King-level Devouring Clan, I am encountering you for the first time."

The comer, naturally, is Jun Xiaoyao.
