After saying that, Lin Tian activated his spiritual energy, condensed a spiritual sword in his hand, and chopped it down.

“Success!”

Just when the sword energy was only three inches away from the cocoon, a strong shock wave hit and instantly swallowed up the sword energy. Xu Xian'er was also affected and fell down. Fortunately, Lin Tian caught her in time, thus avoiding the tragic fate of being thrown down.

"how so?"

Xu Xian'er frowned, staring at the surface of the cocoon, her face full of shock.

"Is it its will? Or is it still alive?"

Xu Xian'er's face was full of surprise. She didn't feel any pain when she was affected just now, and her body didn't suffer any damage, as if she was just trying to keep them away.

"Your guess is very close to the truth, because the cocoon is indeed still alive, and it is indeed still alive!"

The cocoon formed by the transformation of the Nine Nether Sky Silkworm possesses an extremely terrifying recovery ability. As long as the limbs are severed and its body is not destroyed, its shell will slowly repair itself.

It is precisely this recovery ability that allowed it to dominate the world ten thousand years ago, making countless powerful people tremble in fear and ultimately leading to the fate of being slaughtered.

At this moment, they could feel the cocoon was slowly wriggling, and every movement of the silkworm pupa would cause the air to resonate and produce violent fluctuations.

Even standing a hundred meters away from the cocoon, one could still feel an immense sense of oppression.

"Your wife and children..."

Asking tentatively, Lin Tian guessed that he should be the man in black who went crazy before, but that was only his residual consciousness, while this was his real body.

The main body has fallen into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, when the silkworm cocoon heard Lin Tian mention his wife and children, it obviously underwent unusual changes.

The cocoon's wriggling speed suddenly increased, circle after circle, and the entire cocoon shell radiated a dazzling light.

Xu Xian'er stared at the cocoon without blinking, as if waiting for something.

The Nine Netherworld Silkworm itself is also a mysterious existence, and it is a creature that was born in ancient times. Legend has it that it has many mysterious patterns since birth, recording special skills and spells.

I saw the cocoon squirming faster and faster and finally became illusory. Gradually, the light emanating from the cocoon became brighter.

Lin Tian observed carefully. At this moment, a faint green light suddenly emanated from the cocoon, wrapping the entire cocoon.

The image of a man appeared in front of the two.

The man's eyes were as black as ink, flashing with a strange green light.

His face was angular and looked quite handsome. His mouth was very thick with a little scarlet on his lips, which made him look a little ferocious, but also revealed a bit of weirdness.

"What is your purpose in creating this formation?"

"I did not create this formation. Instead, I am the one who is bound in it."

The man glanced at Xu Xian'er, his voice was hoarse and low, with a sense of vicissitudes.

"You must have been trapped in the formation for quite some time. Is there really no way to escape? I'm afraid you are waiting for someone."

Hearing this, Lin Tian spoke lightly, but the man showed a surprised expression, obviously Lin Tian was right.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you are guarding is the West Emperor Tower. Every year, the master will select suitable people to send to you for training."

The man remained silent and listened to Lin Tian continue talking.

"Those who fail will become your nourishment and help you break free from the seal."

Hearing this, the man finally couldn't hold it anymore and shouted out subconsciously.

"How do you know that?"

"Not only do I know, I also know how to break the seal."

Lin Tian said with a smile, looking confident, and his eyes became much sharper.

Seeing this, a strong murderous aura suddenly burst out from the man, and that murderous aura spread around like a substance.

"If you can help me unlock the seal, I will give you a great gift. Otherwise, you will stay here forever, or even die."

When Xu Xian'er heard the man's threat, she was not afraid, but smiled faintly.

"I am not afraid of threats. Besides, you don't have the ability to threaten me. If you don't believe me, you can try."

"Good, very good, very arrogant!"

Hearing that Lin Tian dared to challenge his authority like this, the man couldn't help but snort coldly, an angry expression appeared on his face, and a strong smell of blood emanated from his body.

"Since you're looking for death, don't blame me."

The man's eyes widened with anger, and he flew towards the cocoon with a flash of his body.

As his figure flashed, he created gusts of hurricane-force winds that blew everyone's clothes and hair.

A long sword appeared in his palm, emitting a sharp aura, as if containing destructive energy. A blood-red ball of light condensed in the other hand and blasted towards Lin Tian.

Seeing the attacking light ball, Lin Tian did not dodge, but went straight to meet it. A light ball condensed in his hand and collided with the blood-red light ball.

With a bang and a muffled sound, the two men canceled each other out and neither of them gained the upper hand, but it was obvious that Lin Tian was more relaxed.

It seemed like she was simply testing his strength.

With a sneer, the man, although a little embarrassed, still pretended to be reserved.

"Don't be complacent. I have spent so much time to assimilate the formation with me. Your attack is completely useless to me. Instead, it will be swallowed by me."

After hearing what the man said, Xu Xianer was shocked and looked at Lin Tian nervously.

"Swallow? I'd like to try it and see if it's true!"

Lin Tian also became interested. Someone actually dared to use the word "swallow" in front of the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Art.

Without any courtesy, streams of transparent but visible air surged from Lian Tian's body. His momentum rose steadily, and even Xu Xian'er who was standing beside him was startled.

The man was shocked by Lin Tian's sudden burst of momentum, but he was not willing to be outdone and continued to attack.

I saw a silver-white energy ball appear in his right hand, emitting silver-white light.

The silvery-white beads were spinning in the air, continuously releasing bursts of energy, instantly forming a vortex, as if absorbing everything.

"Heaven-Devouring Magic? You actually know such a powerful magic formula?"

Seeing the moves performed by the other party, the man's face changed drastically and his hands trembled noticeably.

It was obvious from his look that he knew what he was talking about and was ready to back off.

"Are you scared now? It's too late!"

Seeing that the man was a little flustered, Lin Tian couldn't help but shout loudly, and his aura suddenly increased several times, instantly surpassing the man by a lot.
