Chapter 171 The Desperate Human Race, Trapped in a Wormhole
Unknowingly, Lai Yang's physical cultivation had already broken through to the fourth level of the mortal fairyland and became invincible.
He could no longer remember how many Zergs he had killed. Zergs of all shapes and sizes attacked Lai Yang like moths to a flame. Most of the Zergs could not even get close to him and were immediately wiped out by the sword domain of a hundred feet around Lai Yang.
The corpses of the Zerg monsters piled up like a mountain, and a disgusting and foul smell filled the air, mixed with various powerful poisonous gases.
Unfortunately, it had no effect on Lai Yang. Not to mention how high his resistance was, the power of purple thunder contained in his body was enough to make him ignore most poisons.
Lai Yang raised his hand to release the heavenly thunder, and pushed it forward fiercely. The purple heavenly thunder emitting a breath of destruction suddenly raged out like a weapon of large-scale destruction. Wherever it went, thousands of Zerg monsters had no time to escape and died one after another.
The number of insect swarms was becoming smaller and smaller, and the humans in front of them had no problems except that their breath became a little weak.
Seeing this scene, even a fool like Chongzhu could see the clue. This guy was obviously showing weakness to the enemy?
But why, what was his purpose in doing this? Just to kill all its children?
Even if all its children were killed by him, Chongzhu would at most feel a little sad.
But as long as it is given enough time, it can still give birth to countless Zergs to drive in a short period of time.
As long as it doesn't die, it can create an endless army of Zerg. What it does is completely meaningless.
How could Chongzhu guess that Lai Yang was not an ordinary ascender, but a wall-hanger with his own point-adding system!
There is a 100% chance of increasing random attributes when killing a creature of the same realm. The probability of increasing attributes by 10% is one realm lower, 1% is two realms lower, and 0.001% is more than two realms lower.
Even if you kill a creature without any cultivation, there is still a 0.001% chance of increasing a random attribute.
A probability of one in a hundred thousand may seem low, but in fact it is not high at all.
Therefore, Lai Yang would not deliberately kill weak creatures for this purpose. Even if he killed billions of creatures in the entire Wenxian Continent, he would only increase a few small realms at most.
After the physical cultivation breaks through the eighth realm, adding a small realm requires 6400 basic attributes.
If you kill creatures two levels lower than Lai Yang, you need to collect 6400 basic attribute points.
In a not-so-unlucky situation, Lai Yang would need to kill about 640 million lives to increase his small realm.
For some time travelers whose moral standards are not very high, they may not care at all.
For ordinary cultivators, it is not easy to break through a small realm, and the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through.
Take the people in the seventh realm of tribulation as an example. Even a son of destiny from a lower plane like Chu Xiao would have to spend dozens or even hundreds of years if he had no worries about resources.
If it were possible to easily level up by killing creatures weaker than oneself, perhaps many people would do it at all costs.
However, Lai Yang is unable to do such a thing for the time being. Firstly, it is troublesome. Secondly, he can obviously live peacefully for a dozen years to increase his small realm. Why bother to do such a thing that is abhorrent to both humans and gods? Wouldn't it add to his own karma and sins?
The road to immortality is invincible, so why stain yourself with the blood of others?
Lai Yang's physical body was still some distance away from the fifth level of the mortal immortal realm, and Chong Zhu finally couldn't hold back his impulse.
Because the army of insects it created was almost killed by Lai Yang alone!
Its one billion Zergs!
Looking around, in just less than a year, the enemy had killed so many of them that there were less than 100 million left.
Moreover, he showed no signs of exhaustion at all. This was simply out of the ordinary. It had never encountered such a perverted human being in its life.
He is simply a tireless killing machine with unlimited physical strength and magic power.
The most important thing is that Chongzhu instinctively feels that the aura emanating from Lai Yang is becoming more and more dangerous. If it doesn't take action, it might be too late.
Chongzhu's mental attack could not affect Lai Yang. The body under the shell extended countless tough tentacles to attack Lai Yang. The tentacles pulled the ground casually and exploded, and a big pit appeared on the spot.
When Lai Yang saw Chong Zhu taking action personally, he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to take advantage of him. His sword energy field quickly expanded, covering an area of ten thousand feet in radius with himself as the center. He did not look weak at all.
"Cunning human, I will eat you alive!"
How could Chongzhu not understand that he was being fooled by Lai Yang? Countless tentacles broke through the air and attacked Lai Yang, piercing through the space like indestructible blades.
Seeing this, Lai Yang used his body skills to dodge flexibly, raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the power of purple thunder burst out, transforming into a terrifying thunder dragon that roared and pounced towards Chongzhu.
The tentacles of Chongzhu were annihilated and destroyed the moment they came into contact with the purple thunder dragon. Its power was extremely overbearing.
The purple thunder dragon fell on Chongzhu's huge and twisted body without any surprise, and punched a big hole in its surface defense.
Chongzhu couldn't believe that the opponent's attack could break through the defense he was so proud of, and he couldn't help but let out a roar of pain.
"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!" Chongzhu was furious, and his attack was like a storm, leaving no room for escape.
Lai Yang was accidentally hit by it, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, smashing countless things along the way, and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Lai Yang hummed softly and quickly adjusted his posture.
The next moment, a large amount of attack condensed from immortal power turned into dense beams of light falling from the sky, and each beam of light contained destructive energy.
Lai Yang's expression froze, and he drew a sword curtain around his body to block the attack of the light column.
When the smoke cleared, the ground was already riddled with holes.
This move of Chongzhu is enough to kill any creature below the middle stage of the Immortal Realm in seconds. It believes that even if the opponent does not die, he will be seriously injured.
Suddenly, endless sword intent condensed from the void, transformed into a giant sword that tore through the sky and earth and slashed towards the Insect Candle.
Boom!!!
In an instant, nearly a quarter of Chongzhu's body was torn into pieces by the sword intent, leaving a bloody mess.
But this is not the end. Dozens of magic arrays appear in the space around the insect candle, including trapping arrays, killing arrays, and illusion arrays.
Before Chongzhu could escape, dazzling attacks came one after another, madly attacking the injured Chongzhu.
"Enjoy the feast I prepared for you."
Taking advantage of the moment when the insect candle was dragged, Lai Yang opened his palm, and purple thunder surged out from his body. Then his palm swept across the sword, and the power of the purple thunder was immediately attached to the blade of the top-grade spiritual weapon.
"This sword will kill you."
"Purple Sky Thunder Slash!"
The purple sky thunder and Lai Yang's sword intent merged perfectly. With a swing of the sword, the blade in Lai Yang's hand suddenly exploded, and the sword light surged out with the power of Taoism that could destroy the world.
Chongzhu looked horrified. He couldn't believe that this sword actually made him feel a fatal threat!
The purple lightning sword energy fell, and everything within sight was annihilated. Even a bottomless sword pit appeared on the ground, and the surrounding environment was even more scorched.
Lai Yang did not hear the notification sound of the system increasing the attributes, but he could clearly no longer feel the breath of the insect candle, as if his life force had been completely cut off.
To be on the safe side, Lai Yang struck a few more swords at Chongzhu's tattered body.
[All attributes +1]
This time, the system prompt sound finally echoed.
"Good fellow, you are trying to play a trick on me by pretending to be dead. It's so real. Luckily I'm better than you, otherwise I would have been fooled by you."
Lai Yang let out a long sigh and looked at the top-grade spiritual sword with only the hilt left in his hand, with a hint of regret on his face.
"Alas, this is the only top-grade spiritual sword I have, and it was scrapped when I first came to the fairyland."
Lai Yang looked at Chongzhu's body.
Once Chongzhu died, all other insects fled, and his situation in the fairy world was temporarily safe.
Lai Yang collected Chongzhu's corpse. The material of a Zerg corpse in the late mortal fairyland was enough to make up for his loss.
Once he finds good sword-making materials, he might try to create a magical weapon.
When Lai Yang returned to the starting point of entering the fairyland, he suddenly realized that he could not go back.
"It's over. I destroyed the Gate of Ascension. How am I going to go back now?" Lai Yang widened his eyes slightly.
Previously, the location of the Wenxian Continent could be located through the Ascension Immortal Gate. Now that the Immortal Gate connecting to the Wenxian Continent has been destroyed, the connection between the two worlds has been completely severed.
With his current abilities, even if he broke through the void, he would not be able to find the coordinates of the Wenxian Continent. If he forced his way back, he would only get lost in the countless spaces.
Previously, in order to protect the Wenxian Continent from being affected by the battle and preventing it from becoming a captive pasture for the Zerg, Lai Yang destroyed the Feisheng Immortal Gate.
Now I have dug my own grave. Everything was fine when I came here, but now I can't go back.
He was alone in the fairy world with no relatives, and had to start everything from scratch.
Besides, Lai Yang didn’t even know where this place was.
How can a little Karami who has just entered the eighth realm live peacefully in the fairyland?
Lai Yang didn't hesitate for too long. He couldn't think of anything no matter how hard he tried, so he decided to take it one step at a time.
Lai Yang collected the fragments of the Ascension Gate. Perhaps he could find a way to repair the Ascension Gate and then find the way back to the Questioning Immortal Continent.
Chu Xiao, Jian Wuji, Li Xiaowen, Li Xiaonuan, and Xiaohei are all asking about the Immortal Continent.
Lai Yang didn't know where to go, so he randomly chose a direction that he felt was safer.
Along the way, Lai Yang encountered many Zerg attacks, but he killed them all with a slap.
Suddenly, Lai Yang sensed the presence of other human beings and stopped immediately, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
It would be good if there were people nearby, as that would help him find a safe place. Now he just wanted to find a stable town in the fairyland to live in.
When he reaches the realm of Immortal Emperor, no one will be able to do anything to him.
At the same time, look for ways to repair the Ascension Gate. Go back and take a look when you have the chance. If possible, bring Chu Xiao and the others to the fairyland as well.
Lai Yang followed the breath of the human race, and soon he came to a huge wormhole.
Compared with the exaggeratedly large wormhole, Lai Yang's figure seemed extremely small.
Lai Yang could sense the presence of a worm candle in the wormhole, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Could this be the worm candle's nest?"
Afterwards, Lai Yang subconsciously released his powerful spiritual sense to explore the situation inside the huge wormhole.
Soon Lai Yang discovered that the countless wormholes were filled with densely packed worm eggs, numbering at least hundreds of millions.
There are indeed humans active in several of the wormholes, but those people are also infested with Zerg in their bodies and are controlled by the parasites.
Although they are alive, their expressions seem extremely numb and their eyes are extremely empty, just like zombies.
And their number is quite large, reaching tens of thousands, including many human cultivators.
There are even a few beings whose cultivation has reached the eighth level, but they are just objects of enslavement by the Zerg.
Inside the countless wormholes, there are countless corpses, including those of monsters and other creatures, but more are the corpses of humans.
Even their few remaining corpses were crawling with Zerg larvae, which were draining their bones and marrow until the last bit of nutrition was squeezed out.
Seeing this scene that was like hell on earth, Lai Yang couldn't help but frown, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
The Zerg enslaved tens of thousands of humans, but the other powerful humans didn't care? Could it be that human life is so cheap in the fairy world? Or do they just not know it at all?
Lai Yang did not hesitate for too long and entered the Zerg nest in front of him. With one sword, he slaughtered all the Zerg and their eggs in the wormhole.
As for those humans who were controlled, Lai Yang used the power of heavenly thunder to kill the parasites in their bodies.
Lai Yang looked at the women with big bellies. He could tell at a glance that what was in their bellies were not babies, but countless insect eggs.
It's disgusting that these Zergs actually use them as a breeding ground to hatch their eggs.
Lai Yang had never seen such a scene before, such a cruel and hellish scene. He had only seen it in some heavy-handed comics and TV series before he traveled through time.
I felt so-so when watching the drama, but seeing it with my own eyes was a completely different feeling, which made one feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
"I have killed all those bugs. The bugs in your bodies have also been cleared out by me. You are saved." Lai Yang said to the numb-faced crowd.
Everyone looked at each other, and after hearing Lai Yang's words, there was not much joy on their faces.
Seeing this, Lai Yang couldn't help but feel strange. Why did these people still have such expressions?
"Do you know where the nearest human town is? I'll take you there." Lai Yang said.
"It's useless. We can't escape. No matter where we go, we'll die."
"The human race is finished."
Hearing this, Lai Yang was shocked and asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean the human race is finished?"
At this moment, a man came out. Although there was deep despair in his eyes, he was still rational.
"You ascended from another plane, right?"
Lai Yang nodded.
"That's no wonder. You don't have to waste your time. There are no safe human towns nearby."
"The place we are in is called Xuanming Realm, which was invaded and conquered by the Zerg ten thousand years ago."
"The Xuanming Realm is now controlled and ruled by the Zerg, and other races are almost extinct."
"Even if we escape with you, we have nowhere to go. In the end, we will either be eaten by the Zerg or become slaves of other Zerg. It will be no different from our current life. When they find you, you will become the same as us."
The man's eyes were bloodshot, revealing a bit of madness, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"What? This world has been conquered by the Zerg?"
Hearing this, Lai Yang was shocked and couldn't help but change his expression.
Is it true that the fairyland that countless people in the Xian Continent yearn for is just a den of man-eating insects? How ridiculous!
If what the other party said was true, things would be ten thousand times worse than the worst case scenario Lai Yang had expected.
