Chapter 1031: Chapter 557: Taichu Centipede, the Opportunity Itself_2
Many powerful cultivators, seeing this, felt a moment of confusion as they broke free from the state of being immersed in slaughter and then attacked the Taichu Centipede in unison.
Yet the majority of them couldn’t even break through its shell.
"Quickly, get away from here!"
"Dammit, weren’t we told that as long as we offer enough blood food, this centipede would fall into self-seal? How did it show up here?"
"Haven’t you realized by now, we were deceived. He wants to use us to weaken the centipede’s realm."
Anger flared in everyone’s eyes as they looked at the indifferent scruffy youth standing in the void.
But now was not the time to settle scores with him.
The Taichu Centipede’s speed was extremely fast, and the claws on its side were incredibly agile, continuously sending flesh into its mouth.
Seeing this, everyone ignored the impact of the hazy mist and ran towards the outside.
Some, unable to escape in time, resorted to cursing at the scruffy youth above before reluctantly crushing their teleportation tokens, hoping to teleport out.
But for some unknown reason, the teleportation arrays inscribed on the tokens seemed to have lost their effectiveness.
They could only watch in fear as the centipede pounced on them.
They released their most powerful spell attacks, trying to survive the confrontation with the centipede.
But how could their power possibly shake this centipede?
"Taichu Centipede, Taichu Law?!"
Jiang Shu also realized the difference in this Taichu Centipede now. Every move it made spread invisible ripples from its body, suppressing everyone’s movement, even suppressing the teleportation arrays, rendering them inoperable.
Taichu is the next stage after the world’s origin, and under the implementation of the Taichu Law, this realm seemed to return to the Taichu state, impacting the power in the space. Under this law, unless one truly mastered the Space Law, leaving was incredibly difficult.
The screams below intensified continuously.
Jiang Shu’s gaze remained exceptionally calm.
His aura wasn’t showing, but only he knew that his 365 acupoints were all vibrating.
In the records of the Apocalypse Sect, this centipede was integrated with portions of the Taichu Law. The so-called pursuit of blood food was actually to maintain its original nature, otherwise, it would be continuously affected by the Taichu Law, eventually becoming part of it.
The more blood it pursued, the more it restored its nature, but similarly, it would be affected by the soul power of these geniuses, gradually breaking free from the Taichu Law and significantly reducing its power.
This was the real purpose of the scruffy youth.
"The reason these people are immersed in slaughter and oblivious to subtle disturbances is probably your handiwork, right?"
Jiang Shu sensed the unusual nature of the Abyss Edge.
Looking at the scruffy youth, he had already guessed the identity of the Taichu Centipede, and naturally, the scruffy youth knew even more than he did.
"This is a path I practice in cultivation, useless to a supreme genius like you, but these people’s hearts were filled with greed, easily manipulated by me,"
The scruffy youth nodding and admitted directly without denial.
"Run, run quickly!"
A group of supreme geniuses from a powerful force gathered together, manipulating an array plate floating in front of them. Behind them, a phantom with eight arms swam, temporarily easing the Taichu Centipede’s attacks, but seeing their situation, they would collapse soon.
They had also crushed their teleportation tokens to no effect, helplessly looking to those supreme geniuses and ancient monsters above for help.
"If you can save me, I will give you anything you want!"
"Why beg them?!"
Someone stared angrily, cursing loudly.
"They’re in it together, wanting to use our lives to achieve their purposes, how could they possibly save us?!"
With that, he reluctantly took out a rune token radiating dazzling light and fiercely spat gold heart blood onto it.
A light gate appeared before them, wobbling under the pressure of law power, seemingly on the brink of collapse.
When the scruffy youth saw this light gate, the smile on his face vanished as he drew a Three-foot Cyan Sword, slashing straight toward the light gate.
"If I survive this time, I won’t spare you."
The group moved swiftly, opening the light gate and rushing through it, with the light gate disappearing as if it never existed.
In the next instant, a sword light slashed where they once stood, carving a deep trench, but failing to leave a trace of them.
Jiang Shu’s eyes narrowed, realizing the token was a precious star artifact, seemingly engraved with a complete order rule, able to break the Taichu Centipede’s gravitational confinement, teleporting to safety swiftly.
This Taichu Centipede’s body seemed to be under some restriction, hence these were the last few powerful geniuses here.
Without the desperate fight of these powerful geniuses, the centipede couldn’t self-seal.
It sensed the intense blood aura from above and looked upward, its three pairs of red eyes filled with evil Qi, heading for the strongest supreme geniuses and ancient monsters who still hadn’t escaped.
"It seems your plan has almost failed."
A youth from the Star Beast Clan smiled mockingly at the scruffy man.
"You being thrown in there should suffice."
The scruffy youth shifted his gaze to this Star Beast Pride.
The Pride, unflinching, even coldly sneered, "You can make a move on me, but are you sure after a fight with me, you can still defeat Jiang Shu?"
"This opportunity is beyond my grasp, go ahead and entertain yourselves."
He hadn’t fully discerned the Taichu Centipede’s secrets but vaguely sensed that the Taichu Centipede was indeed the opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, he would undoubtedly compete for it.
But now... nearing the grand finale, about to enter the Deep Space Sea, with countless opportunities, who cares about this one?
His gaze drifted from the scruffy youth to Jiang Shu. The Star Beast Pride executed a miraculous stride, vanishing beyond the sky.
Now, nobody remained in this purification space, only the intense bloody scent assaulting the nostrils.
If one stayed longer, not only would other opportunities be missed, but there was also a threat to one’s life.
Thankfully, one’s condition wasn’t significantly exhausted, meaning a better ranking during the grand finale and a chance comparable to the anti-heavenly opportunities in the Deep Space Sea.
"I advise you to stay away from him, or you might end up as his pawn."
A voice, still echoing from the distant space.
Thus, only the scruffy youth, Jiang Shu, and the Taichu Centipede, baring its fangs and claws toward the two, remained in this vast territory.
The centipede sensed that if it could devour these two, at least half of its injuries would heal, possibly allowing it a chance to break free from the world’s constraints and return to its comfort zone.
"I already suggested that we could join forces back then."
"I can temporarily hold off this centipede; you just need to delve into the abyss and seek opportunities."
The scruffy youth’s gaze was sincere, as if genuinely inviting cooperation.
But he didn’t expect that as soon as he finished speaking.
Jiang Shu, standing in the void, cast his eyes downward:
"Even now, you’re still playing your mind games. It seems your audacity is far inferior to that of the Wind Cloud Pride."
"Opportunity? Is it truly an opportunity beneath the abyss, or is this Taichu Centipede itself the opportunity?"
