As the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm grew larger, its limbs appeared even shorter and cuter.
Floating in the air, unable to find leverage, it looked comically awkward no matter how one looked at it.
Yet despite this, not a single immortal in Yourong City dared to mock it; many even looked upon the colossal creature with fear.
Cute? That’s extreme danger!
Others might not know, but I sure do!
A Gu insect a thousand zhang long rampaging in the city—this little thing just took one breath and swallowed it whole.
What terrifying power is this?
Who are we ants to judge?
Utterly absurd!
In an instant, many immortals began to kneel, shouting their thanks for this life-saving grace.
In fact, not only were they unprepared for this scene, even Ye Yu was surprised.
That huge salamander just now—he saw it with his own eyes.
From its overwhelming immortal pressure, it was at least at Immortal King Realm level.
Compared to that, the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm, once cradled in his hand, seemed rather unimpressive.
Ye Yu had planned to let it develop some more by eating Gu insects before tackling this big boss.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm suddenly became excited, sniffing at the thousand-zhang salamander.
With just that simple action, it swallowed the salamander whole.
The process was incredibly smooth, like playing a game.
The salamander didn’t even resist—this was unbelievable.
But then Ye Yu noticed a very serious problem as he looked at the floating Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm.
Judging by its nearly bursting size, it was clearly at its limit.
But that alone wouldn’t do.
There was still an ultimate villain outside—the Immortal King level enemy.
Better to eat her too.
Otherwise, peace of mind would be impossible.
Ye Yu looked up and met the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm’s eyes.
Compared to the worm’s confused look, Ye Yu’s was full of determination.
"Go, Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm. A celestial beast must be ruthless to itself!"
Ye Yu tapped his toes lightly, shooting upward rapidly, then unleashed a powerful kick.
Under the force, the massive worm surged forward at high speed, sprinkled with flickering starlight.
What? Not starlight, but tears from the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm?
Alright, that might be a bit presumptuous!
Perhaps from the strength of the blow, the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm exhaled a breath of turbid air and rapidly shrank.
By the time it reached Yun Jie Xin, it had returned to normal size.
Yun Jie Xin instinctively enveloped it fully with her immortal power and placed it before herself.
She was truly curious what kind of celestial beast this was.
How could it switch sizes at will?
Having not paid attention to the battles inside Yourong City before, Yun Jie Xin did not know her Boundless Salamander had just died at the hands of this small {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} creature, so she wasn’t particularly alert.
She merely regarded it as a somewhat special celestial beast.
But in the next second, Yun Jie Xin suddenly saw a flicker of excitement in the small eyes of the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm.
Yes, very humanlike excitement.
Yet inside Yun Jie Xin’s body, the Gu insects were terrified to the extreme.
Many Gu insects began fleeing on their own.
So in An Jinqiu and An Jieyue’s eyes, Yun Jie Xin’s body was decomposing.
Countless tiny Gu insects desperately retreated.
But just fleeing wasn’t enough.
With a gentle inhalation from the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm, countless Gu insects rapidly gathered toward its mouth.
No! Don’t!
Yun Jie Xin screamed in alarm and tried with all her might to push it away.
She succeeded.
The Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm retreated at great speed, but the powerful suction never dissipated.
Yun Jie Xin’s entire body, now countless Gu insects, was involuntarily drawn in.
When the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm returned to Ye Yu’s hand, it had completely devoured Yun Jie Xin.
And then belched a long, satisfied burp.
Apparently, this meal had really filled it up.
And so, the greatest crisis was resolved.
Wonderful!
Ye Yu gently petted the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm and seriously praised, "I didn’t expect you, little thing, to come through in the clutch. Well done."
However, the worm was not appreciative.
It struggled to stand, pointed to its sore behind from being kicked, and chirped incessantly.
Though Ye Yu couldn’t understand, it was clearly voicing its displeasure.
After a few more chirps, it suddenly closed its little eyes and fell asleep on the spot.
Snoring occasionally.
Eating really was exhausting.
It was so tired it fell asleep!
No way, as its master, Ye Yu had to fight for his celestial pet’s rights.
So he stood atop Yourong City’s walls, looking toward An Jinqiu in the distance, and loudly called out, "Th—"
He only said one character before stopping.
Not because he hesitated, but because, including himself, the entire Yourong City vanished before his eyes.
This scene caused both An Jinqiu and An Jieyue’s faces to change drastically.
They could hardly believe their eyes.
What? What does this mean?
The villain’s dead, the time to celebrate arrived, and suddenly the home disappears?
Is there any justice? Any morality?
Who? Who is so heartless?
Of course, it wasn’t just An Jinqiu and An Jieyue cursing; Ye Yu was cursing too.
Damn it!
Where the hell did this leave me?
All around was lush greenery—is this still the Heavenly Realm?
Ye Yu stood on the city wall, looking around at the forest.
The ground beneath him hadn’t changed, but the surroundings had completely transformed in 360 degrees.
I know this scene.
It’s either an illusion or the moment of entering the dream.
But now, I’m already in a dream—how could I enter a dream again?
What? A dream within a dream?
Impossible.
The only explanation is someone tampered with things.
Ye Yu turned his head, eyes cold as ice.
Who? Who did this?
