Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 616: Corpse Worm

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Corpse Worm

Who would have thought that a worm would appear inside the Golden Dragon?

What is this?

"Corpse Worm?" Shi Feng wasn’t very sure as he spoke.

Once a creature dies and starts to decay, Corpse Worms will appear.

However, could this also occur in a Fairy Spirit?

This worm had no eyes, no nose, no ears, merely possessing a round mouthpart that occupied an entire end. It seemed to be sensing something when suddenly, its mouth opened and it spewed a Liquid Arrow at Shi Hao.

Incredibly fast!

Just as Shi Hao was about to make a move, Shi Feng had already preempted him, reaching out a hand, and a wall of fire appeared, easily incinerating the Liquid Arrow.

Shi Feng made another move, and with a bang, the worm was knocked away, hitting the meat wall and bouncing back with a series of thuds before it finally came to a stop.

Yet, it was undamaged, straightening half of its body and shooting out another Liquid Arrow.

Huh?

Shi Hao saw clearly that the worm had switched its head with its tail; it was the tail end that faced him now, but how could it still shoot out a Liquid Arrow?

"Damn, it can’t tell its head from its ass?"

"Chrysanthemum Worm!"

Both Shi Hao and Shi Feng exclaimed at the same time, both feeling disgusted.

This worm used the same organ for both consumption and excretion, and it even had two sets!

However, its body was indeed extremely tough; it took a direct hit from Shi Feng and wasn’t just alive but hadn’t even sustained an injury, which was truly astonishing.

"This Chrysanthemum Worm’s strength is probably at Founding King Court’s realm, but its body fortitude has at least reached the Heaven Connecting Road or even stronger," said Shi Feng. Otherwise, even if it were Ascending to Saint Position, his strike could still cause injury.

Shi Hao’s thoughts stirred, and he said, "Dad, this should be a Corpse Worm, living off the rotten flesh and blood of the Golden Dragon. Since that’s the case, it might be very susceptible to our body constitution."

Whether it was the Three Yang Saintly Body or the Nine Yang Saintly Body, they are Utmost Firmness and extremely Yang, specializing in overcoming Yin and evil beings.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try!" Shi Feng nodded, bursting forth with his Physical Power, and with a boom, he swung out a punch, releasing a vermillion fireball.

The Corpse Worm, with merely the realm of the Founding King Court and only its strong defenses, how could it possibly dodge?

Boom, the fireball struck, and it immediately caught fire, its body writhing continuously while even screaming from its mouthpart, seemingly in great agony.

Spurt spurt spurt, it kept shooting out Liquid Arrows aimlessly, hitting randomly, and soon slumped down, turning into a pitch-black charred carcass.

Indeed, physical constitution can possess intimidating power.

Upon seeing that his constitution was effective, Shi Feng laughed heartily, striding forward.

Shi Hao followed suit, yet after only a few steps, he noticed disturbances on both the ground and the walls.

There were more Corpse Worms!

On reflection, it was quite normal; how could such a huge dragon carcass have only one Corpse Worm?

"Bring it on!" Shi Feng laughed loudly, exuding a heroic air.

One by one, the worms emerged, each about three feet long and completely vermillion, identical to the one before.

Shi Feng charged in, his entire body engulfed in flames.

Boom, wherever he passed, he left behind a trail of burning Corpse Worms, which quickly turned into charred carcasses.

He, having Ascended to Saintly Position, slaughtered his way through leaving no survivors, ensuring none could take the opportunity to launch an attack at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh; a father is a father, always thinking he needs protection.

In reality, he was a Ten Yang Saintly Body, even more effective against Yin and evil, and with his strength, the Dry Nine King was also easily handled; he had no fear of these Corpse Worms.

Well, since they were disgusting Chrysanthemum Worms, he might as well leave them to his old man to deal with.

For Shi Feng, as long as he could break their defense, these Corpse Worms were a piece of cake, too easy to kill.

But in a short while, the ground was littered with charred insect corpses.

They continued to advance, but here the Corpse Worms were astonishingly numerous, constantly swarming out wave after wave, fearless and fierce in battle.

To these Corpse Worms, they were defending their territory, hence naturally ferocious.

"Father, we need to conserve some energy," said Shi Hao.

Physical Power was bound to physical strength, and although it recovered quickly, there was still a possibility of depletion.

Therefore, continuing this wasteful consumption would soon leave Shi Feng completely drained of strength.

"Alright," Shi Feng nodded, not too concerned.

Because they had the Immortal Abode, they could stop wherever they fought and take shelter within the Immortal Abode without needing to retreat completely.

"Let me do it," Shi Hao said with a smile. These level of Corpse Worms really didn’t concern him.

Shi Feng thought for a moment, then gave his place to Shi Hao.

With him flanking, Shi Hao was in no danger whatsoever.

Shi Hao strode forward, and once again the Corpse Worms wriggled out.

He stimulated his physical constitution, then snapped his fingers.

Boom, his physical constitution was of Utmost Firmness and being reborn from fire made it far superior to the saintly body of nine yangs. The mere flicker of flame from his fingertip was shockingly powerful—boom, boom, boom—instantaneously setting the Corpse Worms ablaze and turning them into charred remains.

This killing efficiency was more than ten times greater than Shi Feng’s!

It wasn’t that Shi Hao was stronger than Shi Feng, but rather, when slaying these "lower level" Corpse Worms, Shi Hao could fully exploit the advantage of his physical constitution.

Seeing his own son so powerful, Shi Feng naturally didn’t mind and instead showed a pleased smile.

However, after proceeding a while longer, Shi Hao began to feel the pressure.

—The Corpse Worms were getting stronger.

This was directly evident from the fact that the newly emerged Corpse Worms were four feet in length, and their combat power was trending towards that of the Supplementing Divine Temple.

This was terrifying, as the Liquid Arrows posed a great threat to Shi Hao, forcing him to expend more energy on defense, causing a steep decline in his killing efficiency.

Shi Feng intervened to help, taking some of the defensive pressure off Shi Hao so he could focus solely on attacking.

Yet as they moved further, the Corpse Worms reached even seven feet in length and their combat power soared to that of the Supplementing Divine Temple. Shi Hao couldn’t cope at all, his Physical Power barely affecting these Corpse Worms.

Indeed, they were a threat, but no longer as devastating as before.

Shi Feng took over the fight and naturally went on a rampage.

"The Corpse Worms are growing stronger and stronger!"

"So, going deeper inside, could we possibly encounter Corpse Worms of the Great Sacrificial Heaven or even Ascending to Saint Position?"

If there truly were Corpse Worms at the Saintly Position, even with his Physical Power, Shi Feng would find it extremely laborious to kill them.

But how could they consider retreat?

Indeed, the closer they got to the heart, the stronger the Corpse Worms became, with even those at the level of the Great Sacrificial Heaven appearing, giving Shi Feng quite a struggle to kill them.

Soon enough, the two could only take refuge in the Immortal Abode.

They were too exhausted.

After resting for a whole day in the Immortal Abode until they were in optimal condition, they emerged again to continue the slaughter.

Fortunately, the Corpse Worms seemed to have reached their limit at the Great Sacrificial Heaven, with none stronger appearing.

Two days later, they finally reached the heart of the Golden Dragon.

Ahead, a massive heart was hanging, but what caused one’s scalp to tingle was a huge Corpse Worm drilling into it, having already bored a deep hole and nearly reaching the heart’s core.

Ascending to Saint Position!

This was likely the King of Corpse Worms, two zhang in length, with a reddish body marked by two gold stripes, giving off a faint sense of divinity.
