In his excitement, the old man's figure flashed as he rushed out directly, positioning himself on the mountainside, his gaze locked intently on the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"It really is the legendary Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm! There’s no mistake!"
The more the old man looked, the more agitated he became, his voice trembling.
"It seems the mastermind has shown himself. These poisonous creatures are definitely under the control of this old geezer!"
Upon seeing the old man, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately sent a mental transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"This old man really does seem to resemble someone from the Main World's Five Immortals Sect."
Ye Yunfei sensed the old man's aura and found it somewhat familiar; its energy was almost identical to that of the powerful members of the Main World's Five Immortals Sect.
"It appears this old man is indeed an expert from the Main World's Five Immortals Sect. He might have gone into seclusion within the Colorless Abyss."
Hun Lao commented.
It wasn't unusual for strong individuals within the space-time continuum of the Three Thousand Worlds to choose to seclude themselves within the Colorless Abyss, so even if an expert from the Five Immortals Sect had done so, it wouldn’t be a surprise.
"Five Immortals Sect experts are skilled at raising Gu Insects, driving poisonous creatures into battle, and adept at using poison. We must be careful."
Hun Lao warned Ye Yunfei.
"This old man is already using poison.
Since his appearance, he has released four or five types of deadly poison into this space. These poisons are colorless and odorless; even Soul Power would have a hard time detecting them.
If I weren't a Ghost Cultivator, I wouldn't have noticed either."
Huang Shang suddenly spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"That’s incredible!
It seems this fellow is rather fearsome."
Ye Yunfei was startled upon hearing Huang Shang's words, thinking to himself.
"Don't worry. Leave these deadly poisons to me.
We Ghost Cultivators aren't afraid of poison."
Huang Shang said.
"And let me handle these insects.
I can suppress them.
Furthermore, I've already identified the specific clans and breeds of most of the insects here."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well. That old man’s strength is certainly not weak, so I’ll deal with him."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Not long ago, while helping the Myriad Dharma Vine repair Formations, Ye Yunfei had gained insight into some ancient Formation inheritances, greatly elevating his Formation expertise.
Additionally, he had already deployed a Blood-Soaked Dragon Lair forbidden ground. Even if he encountered a Perfected Earth Immortal, Ye Yunfei was confident he could give them a full-blown fight.
"Kid! Immediately hand over that Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm! I can spare your life and let you leave this place. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground!"
The old man suddenly shouted at Ye Yunfei.
"You old fart! You dare treat me like a commodity to be bargained with?
I’ll personally wring your head off!"
Hearing the old man's words, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm flew into a rage.
"Let’s begin!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm soared from Ye Yunfei's shoulder, emitting dazzling waves of golden radiance. At the same time, countless golden runes erupted from its body, each one continuously expanding until they were as blindingly bright as miniature suns.
Vroom…
As the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm activated its power and those golden runes dispersed, the space trembled slightly. A strange ripple centered on the creature began spreading outward.
Ye Yunfei knew that the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had begun using its Racial Secret Technique against the surrounding insect horde.
Immediately after, the surrounding insects all froze in place, looking up at the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
In their eyes, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm stood there like a majestic king, radiating an aura of dreadful dominance that pressured all directions, evoking in the insects a vague sense of the desire to submit.
"As expected of the fabled King of Ten Thousand Insects!
How wonderful!"
Witnessing this, the old man grew even more excited.
This elder was an ancient relic who had survived for an extremely long time; he was very knowledgeable about the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race!
"Good. Let's move!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei took a step forward, causing the entire earth to shake violently. Countless red fire dragons surged mightily toward the old man.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei retrieved a large batch of Formation flags and hurled them towards the old man's position. They embedded themselves into the space, and Formations began taking shape one after another, enveloping the old man.
"Hmph! That’s the ability to form instant arrays with a wave of your hand!
Brat, I never imagined your Formation proficiency was this high!
No wonder you dare to barge into my territory."
Sensing the energy signatures of the Formations Ye Yunfei had deployed, the old man couldn't help but frown slightly, a trace of wariness in his heart.
"However, if you don't hand over that Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, you will surely die."
The old man sneered.
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
As soon as the old man finished speaking, violent, foul-smelling winds began sweeping through the heavens and earth, howling as they rushed towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
"Be careful! This old man intends to use poison on you. Those gusts carry vast quantities of terrible toxins. I estimate that even Earth Immortal experts would face serious trouble if contaminated!
This old man's skill in using poison is terrifying. He can fuse deadly poisons into space itself, causing his opponents to fall victim without noticing."
Huang Shang warned Ye Yunfei.
Whoosh…
Huang Shang appeared beside Ye Yunfei and immediately unleashed Ghost Cultivator techniques, conjuring billowing ghost Qi that spread outwards.
"The toxins this old man releases are great nourishment for me instead. Excellent!"
Huang Shang transformed into a ghostly shadow and charged forward, constantly absorbing the toxins fused within space as he let out a hearty laugh.
"Hmph! Brat, I never thought you’d have a Ghost Cultivator by your side."
The old man's perception was extremely powerful, and he had detected Huang Shang's presence. He couldn't help but snort coldly.
As soon as he spoke, the old man’s figure blurred, charging towards Ye Yunfei with astonishing speed.
Roar! Roar!
Dozens of massive alligators abruptly appeared, their bodies enormous and thick-skinned, viscous poisonous fluids dripping from their forms. They lunged through the air to attack Ye Yunfei.
To Ye Yunfei's shock, the combat power of these dozens of alligators was all at the Earth Immortal level!
This was equivalent to dozens of Earth Immortal experts!
Roar! Roar!
A large group of red fire dragons swam over, intercepting the dozens of alligators, and fierce combat ensued.
"Kid! Immediately offer me that Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm with good grace, or you die!"
The old man roared, his primary objective still to obtain the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Boom…
The old man attacked directly, thrusting out a withered hand. His five fingers were sharp and pointed like steel hooks, glinting with a chilling sheen. He clawed through the space ahead as if tearing through tofu, reaching for Ye Yunfei.
He was a Perfected Earth Immortal!
And not just any ordinary Perfected Earth Immortal, but an especially formidable one!
Sensing the oppressive energy aura radiating from this old man, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but secretly tremble with fear.
Clang! Clang!
Ye Yunfei brandished his sword, unleashing streams of sword light that collided with the old man’s palm. Ye Yunfei was actually sent flying backwards a considerable distance, his arm aching from the impact, the sword in his hand almost sent flying.
