I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1364 - Chapter 1364 Chapter 1364 Beetle Tide (13)

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Beetle Tide! (1/3) Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Beetle Tide! (1/3) After an hour, while absorbing power in the tomb passage and fully activating the star power, it started to show signs of fatigue within Shi Sheng.

However, at this moment, he finally touched the mechanism, a dark stone embedded in the wall of the tomb passage was floating up and down under the suppression of the star power!

Seeing this, Shi Sheng’s face brightened with joy.

Tan Ning, standing beside him, was so excited that he prepared to press the stone, but Shi Sheng hurriedly advised, “Don’t. It might be a trap. Let me handle it.”

Hearing this, Tan Ning withdrew his hand.

Shi Sheng then gathered the dispersed star power into a large hand and pressed it onto the dark stone.

Crack…

As the dark stone was pressed down, strands of dust and debris drifted down.

Everyone was alert to their surroundings, ready to act in case it was a trap.

But, when the dark stone was pressed, there was not the slightest movement.

Even the people from the desert forces led by Sha Yuansheng were stunned.

Could it be that it was just an ordinary stone that had loosened over the past million years?

But such a possibility was unthinkable, as a tomb passage that had lasted a million years naturally wouldn’t have issues with loosening over time.

After a few long breaths, the dust in the tomb passage began to dance, and the entire passage started to tremble slightly.

The scattered pebbles on the ground also jumped up like splatters from water droplets in hot oil.

The expressions on Shi Sheng and others’ faces gradually turned grave.

Because the trembling, along with the rapidly increasing hurried footsteps from both ends of the passage, began to amplify!

Tan Ning and others’ expressions changed drastically, and they shouted loudly, “Prepare to face the enemy! It’s those magical beasts!”

Clearly, the activation of the mechanism had awoken all the insectoid magical beasts in the tomb passage!

These magical beasts were all at half-step Ancestral Realm, and if hundreds or thousands of these insectoid magical beasts rushed at them in this narrow tomb passage with no space to dodge, even the presence of an Ancestral Realm powerhouse would definitely be overwhelmed!

Sha Yuansheng and others, who had originally planned to ambush Shi Sheng and Fang Qiong’s group, also had their expressions drastically change, and they immediately moved closer to Tan Ning’s group, preparing to deal with those insectoid magical beasts together before anything else.

Tan Ning and others gave an annoyed look at this group but said nothing.

After all, they needed to join forces now. Continuing to have conflicts would likely result in none of them surviving.

They would all die in this tomb passage!

Crack crack…

As the insectoid magical beasts from both ends of the passage surged densely toward them, above Shi Sheng’s head, the dark stone began to part toward both sides, and a sliver of light squeezed in from outside!

Seeing this scene, Shi Sheng’s face lit up with joy, and he shouted loudly, “Hold off those magical beasts, just hold them for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the secret passage leading outside will open!”

Hearing Shi Sheng’s words, those who had fallen into despair were invigorated.

They responded loudly, “Understood!”

Fang Qiong looked at the somewhat weakened Shi Sheng and said, “Elder brother, you should take this opportunity to recover. I’ll handle what comes next. Otherwise, we don’t know what dangers we may face once we get out.”

Hearing these words, Tan Ning also nodded and said, “That’s right, leave the rest to us!”

Shi Sheng nodded, gratefully responded, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

He then sat down on the spot and began meditating, replenishing his strength with the star power he had previously collected in containers.

Lu Changsheng had already told him.

Your physique is special, relying on star power for cultivation. If you run out of star power or find yourself in a situation where star power is scarce, then you’re finished.

So you must always prepare enough star power ahead of time, just in case.

Now, it seems Master was absolutely right.

In the absence of star power from the outside world, the only way to regain energy was to rely on the core of the star, in conjunction with the Chaotic Star Record to be self-sufficient, but such a method was too slow.

As the insect-type magical beasts charged ahead, everyone began to strike with all their might!

However, these insect-type magical beasts were not like other magical beasts that have huge bodies.

On the contrary, they were extremely small, only the size of a palm, and moved quickly and agilely.

These beasts bore a layer of dark carapaces on their back, which even a near Ancestral Realm full-strength strike could only barely crack open.

Under the simultaneous charge of hundreds of these creatures, the fighters at the outermost, who were at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, simply couldn’t breach the defense; some of their attacks were even dodged by the insect-type beasts, and in an instant, these beetles crawled all over them.

Under the pained screams, after merely two moments, they were torn apart until only their skeletons remained…

Even their souls were devoured clean!

The faces of the group turned grim as they stared at the bodies, unleashing all their strength and all their tricks without reservation.

They certainly did not want to end up as mere skeletons here.

A little further back, others also gave it their all.

Because they knew that if they held back and those on the periphery died, it would soon be their turn.

Tan Ning and the personal disciples of the Mixed Spirit Academy attacked simultaneously.

Fang Qiong had already condensed the formation beforehand.

Suddenly, Fang Qiong placed both hands forward, and from the palms, layers of seal books began to unfold!

On top of that power of the array formation, an Azure Dragon started to gradually form!

At the same time, a swirling mist of Annihilation’s dark aura wrapped around the Azure Dragon!

Azure Dragon Falling Kill Array, Annihilation Qi Blades!

The combination of the two arrays was much stronger even than a full-strength strike from a near-Ancestral Realm fighter!

Even Tan Ning was suddenly shocked.

When had this been prepared?

And it was a fusion of two major killing arrays?

Indeed, no wonder the fifth elder held Fang Qiong in such high regard, claiming that Fang Qiong’s understanding of formations could even provide him assistance!

Capable of this, Fang Qiong’s mastery of formations truly was extraordinary.

Fang Qiong called out loudly, “Those in front, move away!”

As soon as his words ended, the people in front stepped aside to open a path.

Fang Qiong then thrust both hands forward forcefully.

The Azure Dragon, carrying the aura of Annihilation and trailing dragon roars, directly charged towards the swarm of beetles!

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

Under the chilling chorus of insect cries, at least a dozen beetles were blasted into fragments.

Although it only bought them a little time, it was still a drop in the bucket.

However, Fang Qiong was only in the Intermediate Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm!

Yet, to be able to achieve this level was truly astonishing.

Tan Ning and the others also chuckled, “Can’t let you steal all the show! If others saw this, they might think the seniors of the Mixed Spirit Academy are incompetent!”

During this time of an incense stick to burn,

more than thirty lives were lost.

Only when the entrance was opened did the group finally manage to escape.
