Cultivating To Immortality

Everyone quickly focused their eyes, only then realizing that these insects were actually fist-sized locusts.

They had a pitch-black appearance, and when their wings flapped, they made a buzzing sound, flying densely in mid-air, as if they had dyed the sky black.

The scene looked incredibly hideous and terrifying, sending shivers down people's spines.

"World-Destroying Demonic Locusts. These are actually the legendary ancient fierce beasts, World-Destroying Demonic Locusts."

An Early Stage Mahayana realm Old Ancestor with white hair, who appeared older, cried out in alarm, his face filled with horror, after seeing the appearance of these locusts.

"What? They are actually World-Destroying Demonic Locusts."

The other Mahayana realm Old Ancestors, having cultivated for many years and being well-traveled, immediately turned pale and their eyes filled with horror upon hearing the words World-Destroying Demonic Locusts.

Even Fang Hong, who was usually calm, showed a surprised expression on his face after hearing the name, clearly having heard of their fearsome reputation before.

The World-Destroying Demonic Locusts are an extremely terrifying ancient fierce beast; they can devour all things in the world, whether it be rocks, plants, or the physical bodies of cultivators, they can easily consume them.

At the same time, the World-Destroying Demonic Locusts also possess an extremely hard black shell, which can withstand most attacks, giving them extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Since ancient times, the appearance of World-Destroying Demonic Locusts has often been accompanied by great disasters; wherever they pass, the land often turns into a desolate wasteland.

According to records in ancient texts, it is said that just one hundred World-Destroying Demonic Locusts can devour a Small World in a short period of time.

Moreover, ordinary spells, spiritual artifacts, and even some powerful spiritual treasures have no effect on the World-Destroying Demonic Locusts and cannot harm them at all.

To eliminate the World-Destroying Demonic Locusts, only a True Immortal, using powerful Immortal power or driving an Immortal Artifact, might pose a threat to them and destroy them.

But now, this mysterious skull-masked person has actually cultivated a million World-Destroying Demonic Locusts; this is simply insane behavior.

With such a massive number of World-Destroying Demonic Locusts, even if a True Immortal were to descend here, they would probably flee in terror.

"Little ones, dinner time."

With a command from the skull-masked person, the sky-filling World-Destroying Demonic Locusts in mid-air frantically pounced on everyone trapped in the grand formation.

"Ahhhh."

In an instant, shrill screams continuously echoed in the main hall.

The World-Destroying Demonic Locusts easily passed through the defenses set up by the cultivators, freely weaving and roaming through the crowd.

Any cultivator targeted by the World-Destroying Demonic Locusts, regardless of their cultivation level, could not resist the locusts' devouring.

In just a few breaths, they were completely gnawed clean by the Demonic Locusts, leaving not a trace of flesh and blood.

Just then, several extremely dazzling strong lights suddenly erupted from within the grand formation.

The strong lights contained incredibly powerful energy, instantly repelling all the densely packed World-Destroying Demonic Locusts that had swarmed over.

The repelled World-Destroying Demonic Locusts circled in the air once, then retreated to the side of the skull-masked person, surrounding him tightly.

Looking down at the main hall, the originally dense crowd had disappeared, leaving only twelve solitary figures still standing there.

Upon closer inspection, these twelve people were the three Old Ancestors of the Fallen Immortal Sect, the three Old Ancestors of the Creation Sect, the three Old Ancestors of the Sword Immortal Sect, as well as Fang Hong, Azure Emperor, and Su Shan.

Apart from these twelve, all other cultivators were completely devoured by the World-Destroying Demonic Locusts in that brief moment.

On the ground, only the clothes they had been wearing and the Storage Pouches they carried remained.

There were also some spiritual artifacts, spiritual treasures, and other items that they hadn't had time to put away, scattered silently, testifying to the tragedy that had just occurred.

The nine Old Ancestors from the Fallen Immortal Sect, Creation Sect, and Sword Immortal Sect were fortunate enough to survive this tragic insect disaster because they each activated Immortal Artifacts passed down from their sects.

They barely resisted the insect disaster by relying on the powerful strength of their Immortal Artifacts.

The three Old Ancestors of the Fallen Immortal Sect jointly activated a "Heaven Evil Mirror."

The three Old Ancestors of the Creation Sect activated a Creation Cauldron.

The three Old Ancestors of the Sword Immortal Sect activated a Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword.

These three Immortal Artifacts floated steadily beside the Old Ancestors, continuously emitting extremely strong Immortal light.

The Immortal light acted like a sturdy barrier, isolating the frantically attacking swarm of insects.

It was precisely by relying on the protection of this layer of Immortal light that they were able to preserve their lives amidst the insects' frenzied devouring.

Looking at Fang Hong, Su Shan, and Azure Emperor, their situation was completely different from the Old Ancestors who used Immortal Artifacts.

Fang Hong made a decisive move, quickly summoning the seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords he carried.

The seventy-two long swords whirled and danced in the air, instantly releasing a large amount of Nirvana Divine Thunder, which crackled and forced back the approaching swarm of insects.

At the same time, Fang Hong also utilized his comprehension of the Law of space to quickly construct a translucent spatial protective cover.

He firmly protected himself, Su Shan, and Azure Emperor within it, and it was precisely with this double protection that the three successfully escaped the insects' devouring.

In contrast, those Mahayana realm Old Ancestors who neither had Immortal Artifacts to protect them nor had mastered special Divine Abilities like Fang Hong.

They were defenseless against the fierce onslaught of the insect swarm and ultimately could not escape the insects' devouring, all perishing on the spot.

As for the lower-level cultivators below the Mahayana Realm, their cultivation was already far inferior to that of the Mahayana realm Old Ancestors, and facing such a terrifying insect disaster, they didn't even have a chance to resist, making it even more impossible for them to survive.

Su Shan and Azure Emperor looked around, still in shock, at the chaotic scene, where cultivators' belongings were scattered everywhere.

Both of their faces had turned pale, and their hands were still trembling slightly, looking as if they were still shaken.

If Fang Hong hadn't timely used his powerful Divine Power to protect them, their fate would likely have been no different from the deceased cultivators, long since devoured by the insect swarm without a trace of bones.

Counting carefully, in that brief moment when the insect disaster raged, the number of fallen cultivators was astonishing.

There were a staggering twenty-six Mahayana Realm cultivators, over two hundred Body Integration cultivators, over five hundred Void Refining cultivators, over a thousand Divine Transformation cultivators, and nearly one hundred thousand lower-level cultivators below the Divine Transformation Realm.

Such a loss was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the cultivation world of the Azure Holy Continent.

"This is not the legendary Immortal Abode full of opportunities; this is clearly the graveyard of the cultivators of the Azure Holy Continent; almost everyone who entered has perished here."

Su Shan looked at the tragic scene before her and couldn't help but exclaim.
