Can spirit-eating insects absorb the spiritual power of immortals?
I've never heard of that.
"I've seen a golden worm with wings, far more advanced than the one you have. Did it become the Spirit-Eating Insect King by absorbing immortal power?"
The bugs on this old man are so small, there's no way he has a king bug. Xiang Wan decided to use this to test him and see how he would react.
Upon hearing this, the old man sat down on the ground with great interest. A sour, rotten smell wafted over, and Xiang Wan quietly stepped back a distance.
"That's just the initial transformation. Once they absorb enough spiritual energy, they'll become Insect Kings. If they want to become Insect Emperors, they need to absorb immortal power or eat a hundred Insect Kings. Then they can transform into immortals. See how simple this method is? As long as you raise them well, becoming an immortal is just a matter of time. Little beauty, I'm telling you this because you have the potential. Those with average aptitude aren't worthy of raising my little darlings."
The old man called the bugs crawling all over his body "little darlings," looking at them with loving eyes, as if they were his grandson. Xiang Wan got goosebumps all over her body.
Even the thought of having a parasite on her body makes her so horrified she feels like she could cut off the infected area. If she were to actually get infected with such a parasite, she thinks it would be better to just die.
With this thought in mind, Xiang Wan's expression remained unchanged. She quickly mobilized the immortal energy in the infant's eyes within her dantian, enveloping herself and the red ball together with the cold energy. At the same time, she shattered the token at her waist with a palm strike.
The old man roared, "Little beauty, you're asking for trouble! I've traveled for so many years, I've never even feared an immortal, do you think I'd let a little girl like you get away? Hmph, just wait to become nourishment! Little darling, time to eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pustules on the old man's body burst open, and countless black insects jumped onto the thin ice that had solidified in the evening, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy on the ice.
Fortunately, she did not use her spiritual energy, but only her cold energy and immortal energy for self-defense.
These insects were still larvae and had no ability to consume the immortal energy. They tore and gnawed for a long time, but the ice layer did not show any signs of melting.
The old man was furious. He pinched a few black insects and chewed them, his aura instantly escalating. He channeled his spiritual power, pulled a hammer from his storage bag at his waist, and forcefully hammered at the top of Wan's head.
Xiang Wan thought to herself that this was bad, as a chill condensed on the top of her head and ice spikes shot outwards.
She realized that the old man's spiritual energy was concentrated in the insects; he needed to consume spirit-eating insects before unleashing his power. If that was the case, then his body shouldn't be indestructible.
Ice spikes shot out, annihilating several insects before piercing the old man's body.
The old man's eyes turned cold. "Killing my precious treasure is an unforgivable crime! I was originally going to spare your life, but since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless! I'll destroy the world!"
The old man unleashed his full power, and all the insects returned to his body. His wounds swelled rapidly, yellowish-green pus oozing out, turning his body into a porous, leavened bun. From his mouth, he spat out a corrosive, dark green liquid that swept over the evening.
Since things have already fallen apart, we can't place all our hopes on Ziyi. Xiang Wan mobilized an unknown substance within her body, using it to fully cover her entire being.
