Chapter 1600: Chapter 1490: Emperor Bugs Undergo Tribulation Crossing (Part 2)

In the heart of the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug, Lv Zhong was nothing less than an omnipotent Lord of Gods.

Crossing tribulation, the Lord of Gods must surely be aware of it. It was highly likely that the Lord of Gods secretly helped it in some way!

With this thought in mind, the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug instantly became overwhelmingly motivated. It began cultivating with full vigor and picked up the [Diamond Eight Trigram Shield] once more, preparing for battle with all its strength.

Time flowed quietly by, and the tribulation clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker.

Meanwhile, the strange thing was, unlike the prior black tribulation clouds, this time they had all transformed into a dazzling blood-red!

A colossal blood-red Heavenly Eye had appeared within the heart of the tribulation clouds.

"This... what on earth is that?" The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug’s thoughts nearly froze from shock. With its knowledge and experience, it couldn’t recognize this kind of tribulation cloud at all.

However, as the Emperor Bug of the Insect Clan, and a vicious insect focusing on Soul Energy cultivation, its intuition was extremely strong. Instinctively, it sensed that these blood-red tribulation clouds were even more dangerous.

Moreover, in the natural world, as a general rule, the more beautiful something is, the more perilous it becomes.

All Alien Insects deeply believed in this principle.

The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug grew increasingly vigilant.

Yet three hours passed, and the tribulation clouds still showed no sign of action!

An entire day passed! The tribulation clouds remained as vibrantly crimson as ever.

"Damn it, what on earth is this?! Why is its presence delaying my final tribulation from arriving? If it doesn’t descend, I’ll never be able to claim the title of First Worm Saint! That would be a disgrace to the Lord of Gods..."

The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug finally grew anxious, and even a trace of irritation emerged in its mind.

But as the saying goes, the more you think about something, the more elusive it becomes!

The more the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug longed for the tribulation clouds to act, the more stubbornly they refused to move. It seemed they were intent on dragging things out with it.

"What’s going on? Aren’t you supposed to be my Heavenly Tribulation? Why haven’t you started striking yet..." Unable to bear it any longer, the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug roared at the sky in desperation.

Unleashing the powerful fluctuations of an Insect Clan Mother Queen and Emperor-level Demon Perception, the Soul-Devouring Worm managed to faintly sense other worlds where Emperor Bugs were nearing completion of their final tribulations—this realization brought it perilously close to losing control.

First Worm Saint!

Originally, that title should have been its own, but because the final wave of tribulation thunder stubbornly refused to descend, was it really going to let other Emperor Bugs steal the glory?

Unacceptable!

Absolutely intolerable!

"Aargh..."

The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug let out a furious howl, with boundless anger surging in its heart.

"Damn it, I will never surrender! I will not let the title of First Worm Saint fall into the hands of other Emperor Bugs. Roar! If you refuse to attack, then I will take the initiative to strike..." The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug bellowed in rage.

Its massive body soared from the ground, [Diamond Eight Trigram Shield] wrapping its immense Soul Energy, streaking fiercely toward the blood-red tribulation clouds above.

This was its strongest attack, delivered in sheer fury!

The supreme Soul Energy, combined with the Diamond Eight Trigram Shield, was potent enough to directly shake and obliterate the artifact spirit of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

And the Soul-Devouring Worm’s strike aimed straight at the tribulation clouds above, intending to crush their very will!

This was the pinnacle attack talent it had developed over countless evolutions!

Anything possessing awareness, will—be it artifacts or even energy—would all fall within the ambit of this attack.

"Whoosh—"

The Diamond Eight Trigram Shield unleashed a sharp screech as it transformed into a radiant golden light, hurtling ferociously into the tribulation clouds in the sky.

"Rumbling..."

The tribulation clouds roiled and let out piercing shrieks!

The supercharged Soul Attack carried by the Diamond Eight Trigram Shield tore open a massive fissure in the clouds.

Instantly, the blood-red Heavenly Eye exploded, its conscious will obliterated by the attack—causing the blood-red tribulation clouds in the sky to release a tidal wave of lightning, scattering in all directions.

However, such dispersed lightning strikes, even if a small portion hit the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug, would pose no threat to it.

Crash...

The tribulation clouds gradually dispersed, and the heavens and earth returned to clarity.

Countless insects and larvae appeared around the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug, genuinely congratulating their ancestor.

"Haha, I did it!"

Witnessing this scene, the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug was overjoyed, elation filling its entire being.

"I am the First Worm Saint of the Great Nirvana World, haha..."

The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug excitedly let out a long scream, its immensely powerful Soul Energy radiating across [Great Annihilation Pearl]’s All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

"Damn, this guy actually surpassed me..." The Echo Insect Emperor Bug wore a face filled with envy and hatred.

"Damn it, the title of First Worm Saint of the Great Nirvana World was supposed to be mine! I am, after all, a royal Mysteriously Void Time Insect, with the strongest bloodline..." The Mysteriously Void Time Insect Emperor Bug’s expression turned incredibly dark.

"Shit, how did this guy end up taking first place? I, the mighty Misfortune Insect Emperor Bug, actually fell behind this wretched insect?" The Misfortune Insect Emperor Bug wore a look of dismay and disbelief, staring at the Soul-Devouring Worm, who had just achieved sainthood.

...

The other Tyrant Electric Insects, Golden Armor Insects, Transforming Insects, Lighthouse Jellyfish, and Undying Worm Emperor Bugs were also filled with envy, hatred, and jealousy over its achievement of taking first place.

However, the Soul-Devouring Worm Ancestor paid them no mind; on the contrary, it was exceedingly delighted.

Its ability to successfully seize the title of First Worm Saint was perceived as a slap in the face to the other Emperor Bugs.

It relished the feeling of putting others to shame. This newfound confidence fueled everything it did.

"Soul-Devouring, congratulations on becoming my first Worm Saint!"

Having successfully achieved sainthood, Lv Zhong, the Lord of Gods, finally appeared to personally congratulate it.

"Thank you! Thank you, Lord of Gods, thank you, Master. It is under your devoted nurturing that a humble worm like me could attain this today." The Soul-Devouring Worm hurriedly knelt, expressing its utmost reverence and gratitude toward Lv Zhong.

A massive outpouring of Power of Faith began converging toward the Lord of Gods before it.

At that moment, the Soul-Devouring Worm Ancestor’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, and it cried out in shock, "No, you’re not my Master, nor are you the Lord of Gods, and I haven’t truly successfully crossed my tribulation..."

"Why do you say that? Soul-Devouring, you are indeed the first Worm Saint!" The figure of the Lord of Gods smiled faintly, though a flash of surprise briefly flickered within its eyes.

"If I had genuinely achieved sainthood, then when offering my deepest gratitude toward the Lord of Gods, the Power of Faith from Emperor Bug-level beings alone wouldn’t suffice. Moreover, the purity of the faith I provide wouldn’t remain unchanged from before."

"Secondly, you claim I’ve achieved sainthood, and indeed my experience suggests I really have, but bizarrely I feel no intimate connection to the power of a Saint. Even the energy within my body feels ’false’ to me—it’s highly unnatural."

"Thirdly, although you carry an aura reminiscent of the Lord of Gods, don’t forget the Lord of Gods is already a Second-Order Saint with Sixth Order Peak-level Saint Sense. You, on the other hand, don’t even possess Second-Order Saint Consciousness—so you definitely aren’t the Lord of Gods..."

...

The more the Soul-Devouring Worm Ancestor spoke, the keener its gaze became!

Upon articulating the third piece of evidence, the "Lord of Gods" in front of it let out a wry smile and dissipated into a faint mist.

The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug immediately perceived a dramatic shift in the surrounding environment—it realized it was still beneath the blood-red tribulation clouds. Furthermore, the sky’s enormous blood-red eye was emitting mysterious blood-colored rays of light down upon it!

Yet as its Soul cleared and awakened, the blood-red Heavenly Eye burst apart with an audible "boom."

At that moment, the blood clouds surged chaotically, forming countless blood-red beams of light, all directed toward the Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug.

The Soul-Devouring Worm Emperor Bug couldn’t evade—there was absolutely no escape!

However, as countless blood-red beams fell upon its body, the Soul-Devouring Worm Ancestor’s expression radiated pure joy.

It discovered its entire body and Soul undergoing a perfect transformation, empowered by an incomparably potent energy.

It had succeeded!

This time, it had genuinely succeeded!

It felt certain that it had successfully achieved sainthood, becoming the Worm Saint!

"Haha..." The Soul-Devouring Worm Ancestor burst into ecstatic laughter, its transformed and exalted Soul evolved into Yuanshen Saint Consciousness. In an outburst of extreme elation, this profound power radiated outward across other worlds.

At that moment, All Heavens trembled, and every step it took birthed lotus blooms.

An intangible yet overwhelming might rippled outward.

In the Great Nirvana World, the first Worm Saint had finally been born! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommended votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
