Chapter 4092: Marrow-Eating Demonic Worm

Ye Bufan pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out how the Dark Lineage would Cultivate next.

However, one thing was certain: they must have their own cultivation methods, otherwise the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor back then wouldn't have been on par with Xuanji Emperor, who was a Five-Rank Saint Emperor or higher.

It seemed he still knew too little about the Saint Emperor Realm. When he had a chance to consult Sword Emperor Qin Fei, he would find the answer and be able to guide Ye Tian and Situ Dianmo.

The most pressing matter was to improve his own strength. He calculated that there were still about six hours until tomorrow's Alchemy session.

He still had time to go out and undergo his Lightning Tribulation. As long as he reached the Immortal Emperor Realm and formed his own Domain, his combat power would surely increase significantly, and he should be able to contend with a Saint Emperor.

Thinking of this, he left the Dragon King Palace and brought Erlang out, having him impersonate him in the room.

Then, he used an easy disguise technique to transform into a Middle-aged Man, quietly left Tiansheng City, and sped north.

Everything was done silently and cautiously. He checked several times during the journey to ensure no one was following him.

He then accelerated to his maximum speed, and about an hour later, he had reached a distance of ten thousand miles.

This was far enough from Tiansheng City that even if the Extinction Thunder Tribulation caused a big commotion, it should not be discovered by the Five Great Sects.

He stopped, just about to find a suitable place to undergo his Lightning Tribulation, when a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came.

“Hahaha, Ye, there was a path to Heaven, but you didn't take it; there was no gate to Hell, but you barged in. It seems you are destined to die, and no one can save you.”

As soon as the voice fell, a figure swiftly approached, none other than Yin Tong.

Compared to his previous disheveled state, he now seemed like a changed man, with his chin raised and an arrogant look on his face.

He glared fiercely at Ye Bufan, his Killing Intent surging, “If you had hidden in Tiansheng City, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to you, but you just had to run out and seek death. Today, no one can save you.”

Ye Bufan was a bit surprised. His easy disguise technique was something even a Saint Emperor couldn't see through, so how did this guy see through his identity?

He had been marked with Divine Sense imprints several times before, so he had been very careful lately. Before going out, he had even checked to make sure there were no marks.

But judging by the other party's demeanor, he wasn't bluffing; he seemed very certain, which made Ye Bufan even more curious.

He asked, “How did you recognize me?”

“Didn't expect it, did you? You've always been under my control.”

After Yin Tong finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed, and a small black insect suddenly flew out of the Void Realm and landed in his palm.

Clearly, he was tracking the other party's movements through this item.

Ye Bufan's eyebrows twitched. He was currently at the Immortal Emperor Peak strength, and this insect could keep up with him. Just this speed alone was extremely impressive.

“Why are you following me? Wasn't the previous lesson enough?”

Although his identity was exposed, Ye Bufan didn't pay any attention to a minor character like Yin Tong.

“You made me kneel in public and lose face, you stole my woman, you destroyed everything I had. I wish I could skin you alive and eat your flesh.”

Yin Tong's face was distorted, “So I must have my revenge.”

“Revenge? Do you have the capability?”

Ye Bufan said, “You came all the way here to cause me trouble, aren't you afraid of the Sect Leader's wrath?”

He was indeed a bit puzzled. Logically, Hu Zhixuan's apology last time was very sincere, so he shouldn't dare to come looking for trouble.

“You mean that Old thing? He's already become my Puppet!”

Yin Tong burst into a wild, arrogant, and unrestrained laughter, then raised his hand, and a figure appeared before him—it was Hu Zhixuan, the Sect Leader of the Hundred Herbs Sect.

However, compared to before, he had lost all Life Qi, his eyes were dull, but the pressure of an Immortal Emperor-level expert was still present on him. He had clearly been refined into a Puppet.

“You… you actually killed your own Sect Leader? And refined him into a Puppet?”

Ye Bufan was still shocked by this guy's ruthlessness.

Yin Tong's face was twisted, “That's right, I killed him!

As the Sect Leader, the Old thing couldn't protect me, and even made me kneel to you in public. Such a person deserves to die. Why would I keep him?”

Ye Bufan shook his head, “You really are a beast!”

“Less nonsense, I am what I am, it's none of your business.”

Yin Tong shouted, “I heard you got a lot of good things in the Immortal Paradise, including Chaotic Origin Energy. Hand it over to me quickly!”

Ye Bufan glanced at him, “You're acting so arrogant, you must have something to rely on. Let me see what your confidence is?”

The previous Hu Zhixuan's strength wasn't too strong, but he was still at the Immortal Emperor Late Stage. Now he was killed by Yin Tong and refined into a Puppet.

It was clear that this guy definitely had his own trump card, or perhaps he had some recent fortuitous encounter. Because of this, he didn't rush to make a move.

“You're right. Because of your relationship with Xia Qingying, I didn't dare to meet you in the Immortal Paradise and hid far away, always staying in secluded corners.

But Heaven has eyes. Although I didn't find many immortal spirit grass, I coincidentally obtained the Legacy of an ancient insect Devil.

The reason I was in a hurry to leave after coming out wasn't because I was afraid of you, but because I was eager to find a place to consolidate my cultivation.

Now it's good. I already have half the strength of the ancient insect Devil. That Old thing, Hu Zhixuan, had his brain sucked dry by my Marrow-Devouring Demonic Insect and became my corpse Puppet.”

At this point, Yin Tong reached out, and a blood-red beetle appeared in his palm.

This thing was only the size of an adult's fingernail, with two small eyes as tiny as millet grains, yet they emitted a captivating glow.

“Kid, you might not understand. My treasure ranks sixth on the Devil Insect List. Even an Immortal Emperor-level expert cannot resist it.

If you're smart, obediently hand over the Chaotic Origin Energy, then kneel and kowtow to me a thousand times. If I'm happy, I might spare your life, otherwise, Hu Zhixuan will be your fate.”

Only then did Ye Bufan understand why the Sect Leader of the Hundred Herbs Sect had fallen victim to this guy—it was because he had such an insect in his hands.

If it were other treasures, or even an Immortal Demon Beast, he might have been wary, but he had no fear of the ancient Devil Insect.

Little Dot was the descendant of the First Demon Insect and the Dragon Clan. No matter how Heaven-Defying the Marrow-Devouring Demonic Insect was in front of others, when it came to him, it could only be served as food.

Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and his figure instantly vanished from its original spot, reappearing a hundred zhang away.

And in the position where he had previously stood, a golden spear directly pierced through the lingering afterimage—it was the Hundred Transformations Illusory Sky Metal.

Xuanji Emperor put away his spear and smiled brightly at Ye Bufan, as if they were old friends reuniting, as if it wasn't him who had just tried to kill him.

“Not bad, your vigilance is really high. Even that couldn't kill you!”
