Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 15085 Bone-Eating Insect

The insects entered every part of Ling Xiao's body through his limbs and bones, constantly eroding his meridians and blood vessels.

Although the pain was excruciating, the speed of cultivation was astonishing, far faster than forcibly using divine power to cleanse the meridians.

As long as one can endure this pain, the speed at which one's cultivation level increases will be incredibly astonishing.

Ling Xiao was already very patient, and the terrifying speed of his improvement made him even more willing to endure the pain.

The Evil Insect King stood to the side watching Ling Xiao, its six eyes flashing with an eerie red light, whether out of satisfaction or ulterior motives was unclear.

However, there is one thing he must praise: Ling Xiao's talent is truly the best he has ever seen. Even the former Demon Lord is far inferior to this kid. This kid is definitely a prodigy.

And just like that, seven days passed quickly.

"That should do it!"

The Evil Insect King smiled slightly, then raised his hand and waved it, making a strange sound. The next moment, countless insects rushed towards Ling Xiao and burrowed into his body.

The insects were colorful and varied, but they were all very small, perhaps about the size of a single cell.

After the insects launched their final attack, a loud bang erupted from Lingxiao's dantian.

A terrifying force shot straight into the sky.

Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing a look of surprise.

Breakthrough!

They actually broke through!

Finally, he stepped from the Return to Truth Realm into the Annihilation Realm. The Annihilation Divine Power flowed within his body, and the feeling was far more powerful than the Return to Truth Divine Power.

The so-called "annihilation of illusion" means destroying all falsehoods, which can allow a martial artist's cultivation to reach its ultimate purity, laying a solid foundation for the next stage, the True Self Realm.

Ling Xiao has encountered many setbacks along the way, but today he has finally broken through with the help of the Evil Insect King.

This Evil Insect Scripture is indeed strange. If cultivated normally, even the Devouring Heaven Demon Art could not achieve such a speed.

With a deafening roar, the entire Evil Insect Palace trembled. Countless insects, sensing Ling Xiao's aura, prostrated themselves low, as if kneeling before their king.

Seeing this, the Evil Insect King laughed: "Not bad, not bad. You've made a breakthrough in just seven days. You're progressing very smoothly on the path of evil insects. It seems that my inheritance is very suitable for you. Your future achievements may not be inferior to my original body, and may even be better! I really hope that you can re-edit the Evil Insect Scripture. Back then, my knowledge was limited, and my original body's modification of the Evil Insect Scripture was not reasonable enough."

Ling Xiao was not complacent because of the Evil Insect King's praise. He felt the divine power boiling within his body and began to condense the insect core.

The Evil Insect Scripture differs from ordinary cultivation methods. Upon reaching the first level, one needs to condense an insect core, within which resides a natal poisonous insect that can prove invaluable in crucial moments.

Half of the people who cultivate the Evil Insect Scripture can at most condense one insect core.

Ling Xiao's situation was rather strange. Five different colored insect pills had condensed in his dantian, each representing one of the five elements.

This strange situation is most likely due to some connection between the Evil Insect Scripture and the Five Elements Dragon Soul.

"You've actually condensed five insect cores! Back in my day, my true form only managed to condense three. You're quite impressive. You'd better cultivate these insect cores well, because each insect core is like a life. In the future, you'll have five more lives than others!"

"When you encounter danger, you can use the insect pill to die in your place, so that you will have a chance to make a comeback. This is the terrifying thing about the Evil Insect Scripture."

"The avatar of the Evil Insect King sighed."

Ling Xiao was also somewhat shocked. He already had many life-saving techniques, and now with these five insect pills, wouldn't it be even harder for him to die?

In this way, I can be bolder and fight head-on with an enemy who is much stronger than me.

Winning or losing doesn't matter; the important thing is to have plenty of life, be idle, and even hone your combat skills.

Thinking about these things, Ling Xiao looked inward at his dantian and found that among the five insect pills surrounding it, one was bone white and very shiny, completely different from the other four insect pills. It also exuded a strange aura, as if it were alive.

"Not bad. It awakened a natal poisonous insect right at the beginning. This thing should be called a bone-eating insect. The Evil Insect Scripture is divided into six levels. In the first five levels, each level can awaken a natal poisonous insect."

Evil insects reign supreme.

"Bone-eating worms?"

Ling Xiao looked curiously at the insect egg that had not yet hatched from its cocoon. The thing was a bright, off-white color, which was quite interesting.

"Let's test its power!"

With a wave of his hand, the Evil Insect King revealed a skeleton on the ground.

Ling Xiao nodded, and with a thought, the insect egg burst open, releasing more than a dozen bone-eating insects that instantly landed on the white bones and began to gnaw on them.

In just one breath, the white bones completely disappeared, devoured by the bone-eating worms. Moreover, when the bone-eating worms returned, Ling Xiao could feel the energy they fed back to him.

"I'm really starting to look more and more like a demonic cultivator..."

Ling Xiao gave a wry smile. He had chosen the path of demonic cultivation, and the inheritances and opportunities he encountered all seemed to belong to demonic cultivators. But it didn't matter. Since he had decided to take this path, he shouldn't have any other thoughts.

Just keep going.

"Let's test the bone-eating worms' defensive capabilities again!"

"The Evil Insect King said again."

Ling Xiao nodded. He already had a lot of knowledge about the Bone-Eating Worm, so he easily knew what the Bone-Eating Worm's defensive capabilities were.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, more bone-eating worms crawled out, forming a layer of white armor on Ling Xiao's body.

The armor covered his entire body, except for his eyes.

The moment the Bone-Eating Armor took shape, Ling Xiao's entire demeanor seemed to change, becoming even more ferocious and terrifying.

He became more like a demon than a human.

Even the look in those eyes didn't seem human; it appeared even more vicious and terrifying.

"Accept!"

The Evil Insect King raised his hand and waved it, and a beam of black light struck Ling Xiao.

However, with the Bone-Eating Armor blocking the impact, Ling Xiao did not feel any pressure at all, as if all the impact force was absorbed by the armor.

"So powerful! This armor could probably withstand an attack from a True Self Realm expert, right?"

Ling Xiao was quite shocked.

"It can withstand at least three attacks from a peak True Self Realm expert, and those are consecutive attacks. If you were stronger, its defense would be even stronger. Hmm, not bad, not bad. Now you finally have the ability to face the Flood Demon head-on."

The Evil Insect King nodded in satisfaction, after all, this was a powerful evil insect he had created himself.

Although he's not my apprentice, he's practically a half-apprentice.

As long as this half-disciple continues to grow, his future is absolutely immeasurable. (End of Chapter)
