Chapter 378: Reaping
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
AiYa and CaiYi stood in front of ShiYan with solemn faces, coldly looking to the other side, taking precaution against NingZe’s mischief to kill ShiYan.
In this battle, the key person had some transformations. AiYa and CaiYi, who were in the Sky Realm, couldn’t be as effective as ShiYan.
Only if ShiYan was alive could the Gravitational Field then dissolve the Gold Silks released by the Heavenly Palace warriors.
Except for ShiYan, AiYa, CaiYi, and the two brothers simply couldn’t do anything.
Apparently, NingZe also saw the role of ShiYan in this battle. Hence, he stared at ShiYan and then rushed toward him while speaking up, "Kid, you dare to treat us like your enemy. Regardless of what your identity is, you will not be able to escape death."
ShiYan ignored him, not really caring about NingZe’s threats, and continued putting forth all of his strength into controlling the Gravitational Field to deal with the two Sky Realm warriors of the Heavenly Palace.
The two Sky Realm warriors, who had released the Golden Silks, which were fiercely pulled into the Gravitational Field, were now also affected by the suction of the Gravitational Field, being hauled toward the Gravitational Field closer and closer. The situation didn’t look good for them.
"AiYa, since you resist, do not blame me for my ruthless means." NingZe coldly sneered and then took out a gold leather bag. He untied the leather bag’s buckle, and a fist-sized golden silkworm suddenly flew out from inside, aggressively showing its fangs and turning into a bunch of gold lights, dashing toward AiYa and CaiYi.
The golden silkworm was as big as a fist. There were seven gold stripes on its back. It spread its wings and flew over, producing a buzzing sound which seemed to be able to penetrate a warrior’s Sea of Consciousness.
"Myriad devouring golden silkworm!"
Seeing that silkworm approaching, the beautiful faces of AiYa and CaiYi suddenly changed in extreme shock.
The rings on CaiYi’s arms burst a bunch of strange lights which gradually spread out like layer upon layer of rippling waves, diffusing around CaiYi’s body and forming a marvelous halo.
When those strange lights appeared, CaiYi immediately held her breath and spat out a bunch of silver lights. As soon as the bunch of silver lights was spurted out, they instantly turned into a long silver crystal sword with many strange symbols on it. It sparkled and glowed and then flew toward the flying golden silkworm.
"Want to die!"
NingZe coldly sneered, his eye pupils flashed up with golden lights as if he was communicating with the golden silkworm.
The golden silkworm stormed into the strange lights next to CaiYi, aggressively hitting the silver crystal sword.
CaiYi’s silver crystal sword was hit and destroyed terribly by the golden silkworm. The golden silkworm suddenly spat out a fierce golden thread which then tightly wrapped that silver sword, making it unable to move.
CaiYi’s beautiful eyes darkened. She suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her five fingers kept changing the magical tricks, trying to retrieve the silver crystal sword which was being tightly bound by the golden silk thread.
However, the golden silk thread was extremely tenacious, wrapping around the sword. The silver crystal sword staggered as it was suffering the silk threads' entanglement, its crystal lights became dark. The spiritual aura on the sword seemed to be corroding while CaiYi’s aura was being consumed quickly.
NingZe sneered and suddenly let out an ear-splitting scream.
The golden silkworm flapped its wings, flying out and forming a bunch of dazzling gold lights that instantly pierced through the circle of light which CaiYi had created and rushed toward her.
AiYa was frightened as if she was helpless to do anything against this gold silkworm. When seeing this silkworm’s attack, she quickly threw out a coin. A powerful suction force suddenly came out from the hole in the center of the coin, wanting to catch and tightly tie the silkworm up.
The golden silkworm spat out a golden silk thread again. This thread was as strong as a steel needle and instantly went through the hole of that coin, disappearing without a trace.
The ancient coin emitted gold lights. Ancient scriptures engraved on the coin suddenly looked livelier as if they were enhancing the power of the coin.
The gold silkworm was not afraid of it. After the golden silk thread had disappeared into the hole of the coin, it seemed to freeze the coin, preventing it from exerting its power in suppressing the corrosion of the golden silk thread. Hence, the coin couldn’t actually trap the gold silkworm.
The Myriad devouring golden silkworm was a bizarre beast. It was small but very powerful. It could corrode all kinds of secret treasures.
Each golden silk thread spat out from the golden silkworm’s mouth could quickly erode the spiritual aura of a secret treasure as soon as it touched the metal treasure, consuming and damaging it. The longer the treasure was damaged, the more deterioration it would have, and finally, it would become an ordinary thing without a single trace of aura. As NingZe relied on the Myriad devouring golden silkworm to deal with his opponents, many people in the Divine Land could do nothing against him. Warriors at the same level or different kinds of secret treasures would be tied up and suffer the corrosion impact of the golden silk threads as soon as they touched the threads.
Facing this Myriad devouring golden silkworm, many secret treasures hardly performed their effects. Meanwhile, the golden silkworm was immune to all kinds of sabers and swords. Very few secret treasures could damage it, and many kinds of forces found it hard to strike the silkworm and kill it.
AiYa and CaiYi knew that their secret treasures would hardly resist the golden silkworm, but they still had to send the treasures to hinder the gold silkworm a little while so that ShiYan could have enough time to clean up the two Sky Realm warriors.
"Be careful!" CaiYi suddenly screamed out loud in fear.
The golden silkworm wildly spurted out of the coin, flying around AiYa and rushing to ShiYan.
The golden silkworm spat out golden silk threads like golden lightning as hard as steel needles, piercing straight toward ShiYan.
ShiYan saw those golden silk threads fiercely darting toward him while he was controlling the Gravitational Field with all of his power. He suddenly shivered and raised his palm.
The Life Seal blasted.
Seven handprints quickly merged and turned into a board-sized palm, and then rushed directly toward those golden silk threads and the golden silkworm.
The Life Seal’s intimidation was incredibly great. When it was released, it produced a sound like booming thunder.
After the Life Seal had passed through, those golden silk threads became cotton threads fluttering around. The Life Seal could only scatter the golden silk threads but couldn’t cut them off completely.
The Life Seal fell onto the golden silkworm. The golden silkworm got hit but just staggered and rolled over in the void. After the Life Seal’s power had passed, the golden silkworm then stabilized its body and darted toward ShiYan again as if it hadn’t suffered any damage.
"Ha ha ha, the Heavenly Palace people have captured and raised these golden silkworms. We already have three silkworms at the seventh level. Each of them has been existing for tens of thousands of years. They are immune to any swords and guns, are not scared of any attacks by different forces, and they can dissolve all kinds of secret treasures. Do you want to use your ordinary method to deal with my golden silkworm? You should have saved a little bit of your power then." NingZe burst into laughter, used his mind to control the golden silkworm, and once again threw another attack toward ShiYan.
With an ear-splitting buzzing sound, the golden silkworm started to attack again.
ShiYan’s face changed. He felt that this golden silkworm was indeed tough to deal with. Secret treasures weren’t effective, different kinds of forces couldn’t strike this silkworm to death. Hence, to deal with this silkworm, it seemed he could only use some special means.
Seeing the gold silkworm rushing at him again, ShiYan couldn’t maintain his energy to continue to control the Gravitational Field. Instead, he had to put all of his strength on the golden silkworm.
However, at this time, the Blood Vein Ring suddenly burst out blood red lights. A scorching power quietly bred from inside the Blood Vein Ring and quickly spread out.
ShiYan was worried as he didn’t know how to handle this. He then suddenly felt the message sent by the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Flame. Without waiting for ShiYan to issue any signal, a group of red burning fires flew out from the Blood Vein Ring.
This group of fires was as big as a cattail leaf fan. A strand of horrible heat burst out together with the Sun’s burning power.
When the Earth Flame jumped out, it instantly wrapped around the silkworm without waiting for it to rush at ShiYan.
At the place where the Earth Flame was burning up, golden silk threads, which were spurted out from the golden silkworm, didn’t seem to be able to bear the heat of the Earth Flame and began to dissolve.
After having been swallowed by the Earth Flame, it was ‘buzzing’ screaming as if it saw its nemesis. It struggled hard inside the Earth Flame, wanting to fly out.
ShiYan watched the Earth Flame swallow the golden silkworm with a stirring mind. He realized that the Earth Flame was weakened, and didn’t seem to be as strong as before.
Even so, the golden silkworm couldn’t escape from the siege of the Earth Flame. It was kept inside and was crying sharply. It seemed to be extremely frightened, and despite how much it struggled and flew around to find an escape, it couldn’t get out of the Earth Flame. The golden silk threads that had been spat out earlier were also melting.
ShiYan was surprised and happy at heart; he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
AiYa, CaiYi, LaoLi, and LaoLun, who were facing danger, suddenly saw ShiYan with a group of burning fires swallow the golden silkworm, making it unable to do anything. They couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, looking at ShiYan with surprise.
AiYa and CaiYi exchanged looks and could see the joy in each other’s eyes. They then simultaneously looked toward NingZe.
NingZe’s originally ruddy face gradually turned pale after the Earth Flame had swallowed the golden silkworm.
This golden silkworm and NingZe’s mind seemed to have a connection. His god soul force was consigned to the golden silkworm, and thus, when the golden silkworm was burning up, his god soul force that was attached to it was also suffering, which injured NingZe’s host soul and made him realize the situation was not going well for him.
"True gold is not afraid of fire. Ha ha ha. It seems that your golden silkworm is not a real one. Even though this fire just refined it a little bit, it soon couldn’t stand it." ShiYan pouted, coldly sneered, as he disdainfully looked at NingZe and mockingly said, "Want to kill me? You don’t seem to be able to do it. Friend, next time, before talking a big game, you should be sure about it first."
After having swallowed the golden silkworm, making it unable to escape, the Earth Flame didn’t seem to want to expose itself too long and thus pulled the gold silkworm, flying toward the Blood Vein Ring on ShiYan’s fingers.
A bunch of fire flashed up. The Earth Flame wrapped the golden silkworm and disappeared into the Blood Vein Ring together.
"Ptsui."
The gold silkworm instantly fell into the Blood Vein Ring. NingZe’s face turned pale once again with frightened eyes. He couldn’t help but spew out a mouthful of blood.
When the golden silkworm had gone into the Blood Vein Ring, the connection between him and the gold silkworm had been completely terminated, which was like being cut off by a sword.
As he and the golden silkworm were closely connected, he also suffered a heavy blow. Whether it was his host soul or his state of mind, both were affected. His strength dropped significantly.
