Chapter 185: Million Mosquito Beasts

In the center of the Soul Sea, Hong Die slowly opened her eyes, her gaze piercing through layers of souls and landing on those three figures retreating in the distance.

She moved her fingers and whispered to herself, "Have I been discovered? That makes sense; it would be strange if such a massive Soul Sea went unnoticed."

She did not pursue them, nor did she make a move; she merely retracted her finger, allowing those souls to sink back into the Soul Sea.

The old man in the distance steadied himself, a fine layer of sweat seeping from his forehead, his expression grave. "It seems this Soul Sea is being controlled, and this Senior appears to have no malice toward us."

He paused for a moment.

"We had best not provoke her."

He could sense that in the depths of that Soul Sea, there existed even more terrifying entities, far beyond what the ordinary souls on the periphery could compare to.

Since the other party had not attacked, they should not seek their own deaths.

The three of them did not linger, turning and leaving rapidly, their speed even faster than when they arrived.

After Hong Die sensed that they had completely left, she withdrew her gaze.

She raised her hand, and the soul banner, along with thousands of small banners, flew out together and hovered in the Void Realm.

Forming seals with both hands, the Soul Sea was churned as if by an invisible giant hand, surging toward the surfaces of those banners.

Billions of souls poured into the banners like a tidal wave. The surface of the soul banner trembled violently, emitting a low hum, and the patterns on the banner gradually lit up, like channels filled with water, finally reaching saturation.

A moment later, the last soul entered the banner, and the Void Realm returned to silence.

Hong Die put away the soul banner and the small banners, then stood up.

"The souls have reached their limit; it is time to leave."

She took one last look at this Void Realm that had just been churning with an endless Soul Sea. A moment later, she withdrew her gaze, moved, and transformed into a streak of red light, breaking through the air toward the direction of the Suzaku Planet.

Just as Hong Die returned to the Suzaku Planet, Chu Yuan and his group on the other side did not return directly.

They stopped in front of a grey-white cultivation planet. The surface of the planet was covered with cracked gullies, resembling an old piece of paper crumpled by the years, floating quietly in the starry sky.

Chu Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and his Divine Thought swept across the entire planet like a tidal wave. A moment later, his eyes grew brighter, and his tone carried a hint of surprise: "Mosquito Beasts, it's actually Mosquito Beasts! Such a massive number of Mosquito Beasts."

He paused, seemingly confirming something, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Could this be the planet where the Ancient God Tu Si once descended?"

He did not say anything more and led the group straight into it.

Chu Yuan swept his Divine Thought and instantly locked onto the place where the Mosquito Beast aura was most dense.

He led the group through layers of grey-white clouds and landed in front of a huge, deep canyon.

On the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, a massive number of Mosquito Beasts were densely perched. They were motionless, as if in a deep sleep.

The quantity was so great that they covered the entire cliff face, like a living black velvet carpet, rising and falling silently in the dim light.

Shuo Leng frowned slightly: "What kind of strange beast is this?"

Luo Chen also looked carefully, then his gaze shifted: "These are Mosquito Beasts! This planet actually has so many Mosquito Beasts?"

He seemed to recall something.

"I once heard Tu Si say that he encountered a cultivation planet with a massive number of Mosquito Beasts, which even forced him into a desperate situation. Could this be that planet?"

Chu Yuan smiled: "The Tu Si at that time was far from his Peak, so it is normal for him to be forced into a desperate situation by these Mosquito Beasts. A single Mosquito Beast might not be very strong, but when they swarm, their power can increase exponentially."

His gaze swept across that dense swarm of Mosquito Beasts, his tone carrying a hint of calculation.

"With so many Mosquito Beasts, if they could be subdued, would that not be a great combat force?"

Chu Yuan's Divine Thought kept scanning, searching for the traces of the Mosquito Beast King.

Below, in the deepest part of the canyon, a purple-gold Mosquito Beast suddenly raised its head, its antennae twitched slightly, and it instantly locked onto the source of the Divine Thought.

It let out a low hiss, and in an instant, the entire canyon stirred.

The earth trembled, and the buzzing sound swept over like a storm. Densely packed Mosquito Beasts soared into the sky, numbering over a million, covering the entire sky and earth in a single breath.

Chu Yuan's expression tightened, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "Discovered. That is fine, it saves me the trouble of searching."

Before he finished speaking, the purple-gold Mosquito Beast hissed, and countless Mosquito Beasts instantly surrounded them, spraying endless white Qi currents from their slender proboscises, pouring down like a rainstorm.

Chu Yuan stomped his foot, and the Six Jia Qi Men formation unfolded, blocking all those attacks outside the formation.

The map of mountains and rivers flew out from his sleeve, growing in the wind, becoming tens of thousands of feet in size. The Qi of Creation gushed out from the map, and the Yin and Yang Qi intertwined and circulated, like a boundless net, covering the entire swarm of Mosquito Beasts.

A terrifying suction force erupted!

"Roar, roar, roar!!"

Endless Mosquito Beasts were sucked into the map one by one, trapped among the mountains and rivers, unable to struggle.

Only that purple-gold Mosquito Beast King remained, struggling crazily in the Void Realm, its hissing sounds causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

But its own cultivation was only comparable to a Kui Nie Stage Cultivator, so how could it break free from the restraints of the map of mountains and rivers?

Chu Yuan raised his hand to form a seal, the Slave Seal condensing at his fingertips, turning into a streak of light that sank into the Mosquito Beast King's forehead.

It struggled a few times, then calmed down, letting out a low whimper.

The Slave Seal was soon completely planted, merging with its Divine Soul.

The Mosquito Beast King's struggles gradually subsided, its massive body slowly relaxing in the Void Realm, and the fierce light in those purple-gold compound eyes was fading bit by bit.

Chu Yuan flew forward, reaching out to gently stroke its cold, smooth carapace, feeling the slight tremor from his fingertips, his tone carrying a hint of satisfaction: "Not bad, follow me well from now on."

The Mosquito Beast King's body trembled slightly, and in those purple-gold compound eyes, there seemed to be a lingering trace of arrogance.

Chu Yuan smiled. He had long heard that Mosquito Beasts were arrogant by nature; even after having a Slave Seal planted, they might not immediately submit.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case, but this bit of arrogance was nothing to him; he had plenty of time to slowly wear it down.

He took out a glob of chaos liquid and held it in his palm.

The Mosquito Beast King's antennae trembled violently, and those purple-gold compound eyes suddenly lit up, staring fixedly at the glob of chaos liquid in Chu Yuan's palm.

It let out a low hiss, its voice carrying an almost instinctive desire, and its body even leaned forward involuntarily.

Chu Yuan did not tease it and threw the chaos liquid over directly.

The Mosquito Beast King opened its slender proboscis and sucked the glob of chaos liquid in one go.

The moment the liquid entered its body, its body trembled violently, and a faint luster appeared on its carapace. A moment later, it turned its head and gently rubbed against the back of Chu Yuan's hand with its long antennae.

The action was not exactly affectionate, but its attitude at this moment was much better than just before.
