813. Survival in a Sea of Insects
On Huo Xuan's side, Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Lotus still achieved its intended effect.
The violent energy of the four-colored fire lotus exploded violently, sweeping in all directions. Even a half-saint could not ignore such a level of impact.
The abandoned infant Tang, inside Huo Xuan's body, discovered Xiao Yan's attack, but in order to trap Xiao Yan in the sea of insects, he chose to ignore Xiao Yan's attack. Now, in the midst of the chaos, he had no choice but to unleash his fighting spirit to the extreme, just like the others, to withstand the destructive storm head-on.
"Cough!" Hunya was the first to be hit, letting out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. The black mist around him churned violently, clearly indicating that his internal organs had suffered serious injuries. The others were all stronger than Hunya, and their condition was slightly better.
However, it was precisely through the impact of the exploding fire lotus that Huo Xuan, Hun Yu, and Ling Fengzhui, despite enduring internal injuries, used the force of the explosion to forcibly create distance from the sea of insects. Then, without looking back, they sped off into the depths of the Heavenly Tomb!
Xiao Yan released the Four-Colored Fire Lotus somewhat hastily because of Huo Zhi's safety. After all, they were all half-saint level beings, so their lives were not in danger.
Looking at Xiao Yan and his group, who were already engulfed in the sea of insects, and then at the Soul Clan and Spirit Clan members who were preparing to advance safely, Lei Dong snorted coldly, "I think we should all go down together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his Dou Sheng-level aura erupted without any concealment. Lei Dong stood proudly in mid-air, slowly raising his right hand, his five fingers spread, palm facing upward.
Shila-
Blinding golden lightning burst forth from his palm, emitting an extremely dazzling light. A very thick bolt of lightning pierced through from bottom to top. Lei Dong opened his right palm, and a net of golden lightning blocked all the paths in front of him.
"Low-level Celestial Rank, Golden Lightning Net!"
As Lei Dong finished speaking, numerous golden lightning chains, each as thick as an arm and as solid as a physical object, appeared. These lightning chains intertwined and coiled, instantly weaving a vast, crisscrossing golden lightning net along the path everyone had to take to the depths of the Heavenly Tomb!
Lei Dong was so proud of his ability to unleash such a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique with ease. With this one move, he had trapped the two members of the Spirit Clan, the two members of the Soul Clan, and Tang Qiying, a total of five people.
The four members of the Medicine Clan and the Stone Clan passed by Lei Dong, exchanging a brief glance before quickly departing.
"Lei Dong, what are you doing? Are you going to make an enemy of our Soul Clan too?" Hun Yu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply.
Lei Dong scoffed coldly, "So what if we're enemies?"
His Golden Lightning Net technique was a Heaven-Rank Battle Skill, possessing extraordinary power. Although it dispersed its power against so many powerful individuals simultaneously, and its destructive force was insufficient to instantly cripple any one of them, its sealing effect was undeniable.
After Xiao Yan and his companions entered the sea of insects, the Soul Clan members had no time to rejoice before Lei Dong cut off their only escape route. The incessant buzzing of the insect sea enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Break it open!"
"Join forces!"
"quick!"
Time is the most precious thing right now. They never expected Lei Dong to attack them so suddenly.
However, the swarm of insects was closing in from behind, and everyone was doing their best to escape from the lightning net. There was no time to pay attention to Lei Dong anymore.
Just as their Soul Jade launched its first attack, at a fairly peripheral location, the lightning net, which had held out for only three breaths, was suddenly breached, creating a tiny opening just wide enough for one person to pass through. The entire process was incredibly swift, without even causing much energy fluctuation.
After creating the breach, the figure didn't pause or hesitate for a moment, nor did it even glance back at its companions or enemies. In a flash, it slipped through the gap, transforming into a blurry streak of light without looking back, and fled at astonishing speed into the depths of the Heavenly Tomb.
The one who accomplished all of this was a very low-key member of the Spirit Race who hadn't even participated in the fierce battle just now.
Lei Dong frowned as he watched this scene. He hadn't relaxed his pressure on the other side just because the person seemed insignificant. He just hadn't expected that his Heavenly Rank Battle Skill wouldn't be able to stop him.
Then there's only one possibility: the opponent is definitely a Dou Sheng, and their strength surpasses that of Tang Qiying, a half-baked Dou Sheng who has taken over Huo Xuan's body.
"A Battle Saint of the Spirit Clan? Interesting."
Lightning flashed in Lei Dong's eyes. The person who broke through the net just now was too calm, and hadn't made a move until now. He was hiding so well, he was definitely not simple.
He immediately filled the gap and quickly estimated the time. After confirming that the Soul Clan members who had used underhanded tactics would also be caught by the swarm of insects, Lei Dong transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, his speed suddenly increasing, and continued chasing after the fleeing member of the Spirit Clan. As for what happened behind the scenes, Lei Dong was clearly no longer concerned.
"I'd like to see just who you are!" Lei Dong's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. The fact that his opponent could escape so easily right under his nose had ignited his competitive spirit. Moreover, the appearance of a hidden Spirit Clan Battle Saint in the Heavenly Tomb was far from simple; it was worth investigating.
Xiao Yan, who was in the sea of insects, was naturally unaware of what was happening, as he was still struggling against the swarm of insects.
Xiao Yan discovered that Dou Qi had absolutely no effect on these insects. These insects were indeed as their name suggested; all Dou Qi techniques released only had a slight effect at the beginning, and were eventually devoured by them.
The strange fire was effective against them, turning a large swarm of insects to ashes in one go. However, the sheer number of insects was terrifying, and it didn't seem like it could be wiped out at all. The space created by the strange fire was almost instantly filled by an even larger swarm of insects behind it, the white waves crashing forward endlessly.
At the same time, Xiao Yan's senses, which were blocked, detected a different aura from the other insects in the endless sea of insects. The swarm of insects attacked him fearlessly, and it seemed to have originated from that source.
It was this aura that constantly emitted some kind of invisible command, driving the surrounding swarm of insects to launch a tidal wave of attacks against him like the most loyal soldiers, fearless of death!
Every time Xiao Yan tried to lock onto that aura with his soul power, he was interfered with by countless devouring insects, as if he were separated by a thick curtain, and he could never pinpoint the location accurately.
His own fighting spirit was not inexhaustible and could not support the unrestrained eruption of the Crimson Lotus Star Flame.
While constantly searching for a chance to escape the swarm of insects, Xiao Yan was also extremely cautious, probing for that unique aura. Perhaps killing the insect leader would also ensure his safety.
