His pupils contracted as a massive array appeared in his line of sight.

Chapter 4362: Primordial Insect

The Cross-Domain Array was split into five parts.

The central Core Area had not completely collapsed; at least two-thirds remained intact, while the other third had shattered into four pieces.

Now, all of them had been recovered by Lin Moyu, and currently, this remaining part of the core array had also been found.

Lin Moyu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when Xiao Peng's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Eh?"

"Why are these guys here?" Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. "What guys?"

Xiao Peng looked towards a certain spot in the array. "Right there, Primordial Insects."

"Primordial Insects?" Lin Moyu had never heard of such things. He looked in the direction Xiao Peng was pointing.

He saw that on one side of the array, massive insects were crawling on top of it, numbering in the tens of thousands.

The defensive system within the Cross-Domain Array was still operating continuously, forming a pale blue defensive layer with the power of space. The Primordial Insects were crawling on this pale blue defensive layer.

The defensive layer seemed completely unaware of their existence and did not launch any counterattacks. Lin Moyu could faintly sense it.

These Primordial Insects were absorbing the power of the array. The Primordial Insects were quite large and looked ferocious.

They were very ugly, with gullies running across their bodies, from which gray pus constantly flowed and dripped.

It looked somewhat disgusting. Lin Moyu asked, "What are Primordial Insects?"

"Judging by your tone, you seem to really dislike them," Xiao Peng said.

"Primordial Insects are a very special kind of creature. They generally live at the junction of the Ancient Wilderness and Chaos, possessing the characteristics of both the Ancient Wilderness and Chaos."

"They are often seen in the border areas. They basically never leave the junction area, so it is very strange for them to appear here."

"The reason I dislike them is because their appearance and abilities are truly disgusting. They are very ugly, and the pus flowing from their bodies is extremely poisonous."

"It is a very peculiar poison. If it touches a magical artifact, it can contaminate it."

"If it touches a living creature, it can cause the creature's power to drain and its realm to plummet."

"According to bloodline records, their pus possesses an extremely primordial and ancient power that is effective against all Daos in Chaos."

"It cannot be exempted. These guys are hard to kill, extremely hard to kill."

Lin Moyu saw that after the pus flowing from the Primordial Insects fell into the array, it silently seeped into it, and the array was being gradually weakened.

Fortunately, the array itself was extremely strong. Although it was contaminated by the pus of the Primordial Insects, it could quickly recover.

"The only strange thing now is that this place is not close to the Ancient Wilderness junction; Primordial Insects shouldn't appear here."

"Did someone bring them here? Does the collapse of the Cross-Domain Array have anything to do with them?"

Lin Moyu felt that it shouldn't have much to do with the Primordial Insects. If the Cross-Domain Array had shattered because of the Primordial Insects, not to mention whether they had the strength to do so…

The East Pole Dragon Python definitely would have said so at the time and wouldn't have hidden anything. This also meant…

The Primordial Insects arrived here only after the Cross-Domain Array had shattered. As for how they came, it was temporarily unknown.

This remaining array was vast in scope; looking at it from afar, its diameter exceeded ten million miles.

Although it was not as large as the one in Lindong City in the Central Region, it was still astonishing. Such a huge array…

…yet more than ten thousand Primordial Insects occupied only a small area. They were not dispersed but concentrated together.

This also meant that there was something there attracting them, but this could not give Lin Moyu the answer he wanted.

Lin Moyu was very clear that he was still a newcomer to Chaos and there were still many things he didn't know.

He didn't know as much as Xiao Peng. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to get the correct answer to many things.

Lin Moyu constantly adjusted himself, adapting to the new environment, while Xiao Peng continued to talk about some characteristics of the Primordial Insects.

Lin Moyu's brows gradually furrowed. The Primordial Insects were even harder to deal with than he had thought. It wasn't just Xiao Peng who disliked the Primordial Insects.

It should be said that all creatures, big and small, in Chaos disliked the Primordial Insects. They were too disgusting and difficult to deal with, and the key was that they were very hard to truly kill.

"Primordial Insects are special twin entities. When they are born, an insect egg is produced at the same time, and the egg will hide itself."

"As long as the egg is not destroyed, they will not truly die, even if they are killed."

"They can quickly resurrect from the egg, and their strength will not be greatly affected. After they resurrect, they will split out another egg again."

"Then the egg continues to hide. If you kill the egg first, they can immediately split out a new egg."

"It has no effect on them. In other words, they are not afraid of death at all."

"To truly kill them, you need to find the egg before it re-hatches."

"But they often hide the eggs very well, most of the time hiding them in the Ancient Wilderness, making them very hard to find."

As expected, every race that could reproduce and survive in Chaos had its own survival capabilities.

"But according to you, Primordial Insects live at the junction of Chaos and the Ancient Wilderness and have no intersection with Chaos Creatures."

"Looking ugly is their own business; why do you dislike them so much?"

Lin Moyu couldn't find the reason for disliking the Primordial Insects from Xiao Peng's description. Xiao Peng said,

"Because there were once two ancestors."

"One of them went into the Ancient Wilderness to explore and managed to find a powerful treasure, but it turned out that this treasure had already been contaminated by Primordial Insects."

"The ancestor didn't notice, which led to the ancestor's bloodline being contaminated during the refining process."

"Fortunately, that ancestor discovered it in time and chose to sever his own bloodline after leaving a memory in it; otherwise, the bloodline of our entire race might have been contaminated."

"The other ancestor was attacked by Primordial Insects when entering the Ancient Wilderness. The reason was still because that previous ancestor had killed a large number of Primordial Insects after severing his bloodline, and the Primordial Insects held a grudge."

Lin Moyu realized, "So that's how it is. It seems the pus of the Primordial Insects is very powerful, capable of contaminating even bloodlines."

Xiao Peng said, "Primordial Insects also have varying strengths; there are even those at the Perfection Realm among them."

"They possess some peculiar abilities." Lin Moyu estimated that the reason other Chaos Creatures disliked Primordial Insects was probably similar. The ability to contaminate a race's bloodline was bound to be loathed by others.

For many Chaos Creatures, their race's bloodline was the most important thing, exceeding their own lives.

After fully understanding the Primordial Insects, Lin Moyu waved his hand, and the team of Revenants composed of East Pole Dragon Pythons rushed out.

Although they only numbered in the hundreds, three of them were at the Chaos Realm Great Success, possessing considerable combat power.

Conversely, those Primordial Insects, although numbering in the tens of thousands, were at most only at the Chaos Realm Small Success.

In terms of strength, they were not the opponents of the Revenants. The East Pole Dragon Pythons used their spatial talent, arriving in front of the Primordial Insects as if teleporting.

The battle broke out, and attacks rained down, slamming into the Primordial Insects.

It was also on the array; the originally quiet Cross-Domain Array was instantly activated, erupting with powerful force.

The defensive array not only possessed defensive capabilities but could also attack. The array erupted with powerful attacks to deal with the East Pole Dragon Pythons.

The Primordial Insects between the two sides instantly became a sandwich. In an instant, a large number of Primordial Insects were killed, their ugly bodies shattered.

Pus shot out in all directions. Wherever the pus passed, large cracks appeared in the void.

Chapter 4363: The Extraordinary World-Burning Fire

Some Chaos Qi that touched the pus was immediately dissolved, while other parts changed color, becoming distinct.

The Daos contained within the Chaos Qi were rapidly contaminated by the pus. Xiao Peng shouted loudly,

"This is their ability; they can even contaminate the Daos within the Chaos Qi! Bang!"

As a Primordial Insect exploded, a glob of pus traveled through the void, shooting straight towards Lin Moyu.

"Father, dodge quickly!" Xiao Peng shouted sharply!

Xiao Peng appeared nervous, but he didn't turn to run away, because Lin Moyu hadn't moved, so he naturally wouldn't move either.

This also showed that Xiao Peng trusted Lin Moyu implicitly. Lin Moyu waved his hand.

The Power of Death rolled out, transforming into a thick barrier. Centered on Lin Moyu, a radius of several hundred miles was filled with dense Power of Death.

The Power of Death could corrode all power. Lin Moyu believed that even the pus of the Primordial Insects was no exception. The Power of Death became a barrier.

The pus hit the Power of Death and immediately emitted black smoke, just as Lin Moyu had thought.

The Power of Death could corrode all power; the incoming pus hit the barrier and exploded with a bang.

An area of tens of thousands of miles was shrouded in pus, emitting a nauseating odor. The odor ignored space.

It went straight into the soul. The barrier formed by the Power of Death could only weaken the odor but could not block it entirely.

Xiao Peng shouted, "Father, the odor is also poisonous."

The odor was indeed poisonous. Smelling it a few times was fine, but smelling it too much would cause the soul to be contaminated, leading to a drop in strength and realm, and it wasn't a temporary drop.

It was a long-term drop, damaging the foundation. This was why many cultivators were unwilling to fight the Primordial Insects.

Even if they killed the Primordial Insects, they would inevitably be affected to some extent. Lin Moyu shifted his focus.

The World-Burning Fire burned fiercely, merging into the barrier, turning his surroundings into a sea of fire.

All the odors were burned away by the flames, leaving not a trace behind.

The combination of the Power of Death and the World-Burning Fire completely blocked the pus of the Primordial Insects, effectively cutting off the ability of the Primordial Insects that people feared the most. Xiao Peng shouted excitedly,

"Father is amazing!"

Lin Moyu chuckled, feeling the bits of information transmitted back from the Power of Death and the World-Burning Fire.

He peeled away the layers to search for that trace of peculiar power hidden in the pus. Gradually, he made some small discoveries.

There was indeed a trace of extremely weak power hidden within the pus. This power was called Primordial Power by Xiao Peng. Although this trace of power was tiny…

…and inconspicuous, it was contained in every corner of the pus and in every trace of the odor.

The barrier formed by the Power of Death found it difficult to eradicate this trace of power and ultimately could not block the invasion of the odor.

And this trace of weak power was precisely the source of the Primordial Insects' toxicity. After all, the Power of Death belonged to the Dao.

The Primordial Insects could even contaminate the Dao, so the Power of Death was helpless against it. From this, it could also be shown…

…that this trace of weak Primordial Power was superior to the Dao, and the World-Burning Fire…

Lin Moyu realized the extraordinary nature of the World-Burning Fire. The World-Burning Fire could actually burn away the Primordial Power that even the Power of Death couldn't deal with.

The existence of the World-Burning Fire seemed even more extraordinary than he had thought. The World-Burning Fire came from that Mysterious Master in the Great World.

He still didn't know the identity of that Mysterious Master, nor why he had left the World-Burning Fire, which had far from grown to its limit, and he hadn't fully tapped into all the abilities of the World-Burning Fire.

Now it seemed that the World-Burning Fire was of a higher grade than imagined, and perhaps it was also an existence that transcended the Dao.

From this perspective, the identity of that Mysterious Master was even more complicated; it was impossible for him to be just a Venerable in the Great World.

"Even this place is a scheme. Who on earth are you?"

From the Small World to the Great World, then to the Origin Continent, and now to Chaos, Lin Moyu felt that he had always been in a scheme.

This scheme seemed to have been laid out by Great Venerable Tianzai to fight against the Dao, and he himself might even be the reincarnation of Great Venerable Tianzai, but faintly, something seemed wrong.
