As a black light flashed, a Black Scorpion Beetle with a Demon Soul was stabbed to death.

In the next moment, this black light spread in the Heavens and Earth, converting into torrential light rain. Every drop of dark and Yin-filled rain killed a Black Scorpion Beetle.

In an instant, the colony of beetles was greatly reduced in numbers. Even the ferocious and fearless Black Scorpion Beetles lost their drive as they escaped towards the sides.

A youth with an average-sized built and whose energy surged stepped into void space and appeared in front of everyone. As he held a black spear, his killing intent filled the sky.

The appearance and mannerism of the youth did not seem very brutal. Rather, he appeared very stable. When Yang Tie and Sun Xueer saw him, they all grinned, Senior Zhao.

He was the First Disciple of the Blizzard Valley of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Zhao Huan.

When Zhao Huan saw Yang Tie and Sun Xueer, he revealed a smile on his face, We were a little later than what we agreed on. Apologies.

Behind him, it was Ke Jing and the rest of the successive disciples of the Blizzard Valley. They all unleashed their moves and killed the Black Scorpion Beetles that inched closer.

The disciples from the Blizzard Valley were mainly trained in the Martial Way and were well-skilled in close combat. Besides Zhao Huan and a few, most of the Blizzard Valley disciples aimed their attacks towards a Black Scorpion Beetle.

While they seemed to attack with a lacking efficiency, the Black Scorpion Beetles were killed as they passed these beetles. The entire group of them was like a huge stone roller and they seemed invincible.

Yang Tie shook his head and said, Theres no harm. Well wait here. Everyone can train themselves up.

He looked at the colony of beetles, These beetles dont seem very impressive on their own, but in large numbers, they team up with one another very well. The threat that they pose when gathered together is quite immense.

The Black Scorpion Beetles appeared in large numbers and formed a sea of beetles that could not be entirely seen.

Right now, the Celestial Sect of Wonders cultivators that were gathered here, which included disciples from the Heavenly Temple and Blizzard Valley, were only in the tens.

Under such a circumstance that they were significantly overwhelmed in numbers, they had to be prudent.

After the initial momentum that they gathered, Zhao Huan and the others did not advanced forward blindly either. They waited for Yang Tie and the others to gather first.

Very quickly after, the Black Scorpion Beetles slowly stabilized themselves and attacked with a more ferocious offense.

Zhao Huan had already formed the Nascent Soul. As he paired with Yang Tie, one of them was in charge of offense and the other was in charge of defense. Zhao Huan handled the immense pressure brought about by the Black Scorpion Beetles, but he was mainly in charge of tackling the Black Scorpion Beetle Kings. He left the rest of the Black Scorpion Beetles for the Aurous Core Stage disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

As the bunch of them protected this lone mountain, they seemed isolated without any reinforcements and had to passively defend. However, their foundation was very stable and they did not retreat at all. Rather, the Black Scorpion Beetles suffered heavy losses.

Amidst the groaning colony of beetles, a red light became more and more intense. More and more Black Scorpion Beetle Kings appeared from afar and joined the battle.

Yang Tie laughed as he saw this, I think all of them should be out by now.

As he said, the ferocious offense of the beetles retracted. Many demonic beetles then gathered together to form a huge pattern.

This pattern revolved with red light and became fiercer and fiercer.

Sun Xueer shouted towards Yang Tie, Yang Tie!

Yang Tie nodded his head, I know. As he said, he lifted a small, rectangular shield. It was his Nascent Soul Stage magic item, the Shield of Turning Heavens Will.

The shield flashed with a radiance and extended from its 4 corners. The 4 corners that condensed to form white light caused the entirety of the shield to become a larger rectangular shape.

Following that, another layer of radiance covered the shield and extended outwards, converting into another larger rectangular shape.

The radiance expanded further and further, which caused the shield to become larger and larger too. The entire mountain peak was then covered behind this shield.

Whereas Yang Ties right hand conjured another spell. The Central Wutu Divine Light and Hunyuan Primordial Water appeared at the same time. After that, he clasped his hands together to form a spell that converted into the Central Chaotic Heavens Sealing World Spell. It was as dense as the Earth and the vast ocean-like radiance expanded before combining with the Shield of the Turning Heavens Will. This protected everyone from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Sun Xueer and the rest of the Aurous Core Stage disciples from the Heavenly Temple all summoned their World Spell of the Turning Heavens Will and countless light rings landed on the Shield of the Turning Heavens Will.

Almost at the same time, the huge rune formed from the Black Scorpion Beetle appeared with a streak of bright red light that shot out. This red light broke through void space and struck the Shield of the Turning Heavens Will.

As the demonic beetles combined together, the immense strength that they produced caused the Shield of the Turning Heavens Will supported by the Central Chaotic Heavens Sealing World Spell to shake.

Yang Tie remained calm and his gaze was filled with resilience as he held on with his magic item and spells.

Whereas Zhao Huan did not speak much. Above his forehead, white light shone. In the center of the white light, a crown glowed dimly. The crown projected 2 illusions. One of them carried a holy and mighty feel to it, while the other carried an evil and domineering feel to it.

This was the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons that Yue Hongyan passed down to him as he was a disciple of the Blizzard Valley.

Whereas the black spear in his hand was the Nascent Soul Stage magic item, the Heavenly Fury Spear, that was given to him because he was the First Disciple of the Blizzard Valley.

With the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons supporting him, Zhao Huans powers surged. Like an angel and demon, the spear in his hand jerked and he stepped onto void space. In an instant, he shifted from the Shield of the Turning Heavens Will to the beetles.

Like a sharp knife, the Nine Heavens Formless Squall and the Xuanming Primordial Water combined together to form a sky of wind and snow. As Zhao Huan stabbed, void space was torn apart and disrupted the weird runes that the beetles gathered to form.

Wherever the tip of the spear passed, air was heated up and sparks could even be seen.

But almost at the same time, the sparks were extinguished by the wind and snow in the air. Whats left after the spear struck was a bone-crushing chill and devastating windstorm.

As compared to the huge rune that covered hundreds of square radius, Zhao Huan and the Heavenly Fury Spear appeared very insignificant. But as Zhao Huans spear stabbed out, the rune was about to be crushed.

The rune that the beetles formed flashed with red light suddenly. They formed a barrier at the front, trying to block off Zhao Huans spear.

As Sun Xueer saw this, she immediately paused her move of the World Spell of the Turning Heavens Will. She lifted a book that surged with countless fogs of chill as the pages flipped. The icy-blue water droplets were like ice souls that were uncountable. Everything was the Xuanming Primordial Water.

The Xuanming Primordial Water fused within Zhao Huans Snow-Wind Divine Spear technique.

Zhao Huan did not stop her and dragged Sun Xueers Xuanming Primordial Water up, whereas he further summoned the Nine Heavens Formless Squall.

The pores all over his body jerked, as if a volcano was about to erupt. His blood and energy were summoned to their extreme as the power of the Snow-Wind Divine Spear was further enhanced.

As he unleashed such a devastating attack, that huge rune was crushed in one shot.

Although not many Black Scorpion Beetles were killed or hurt, they were no longer able to maintain their weird formation.

After Zhao Huans blow, he quickly returned beside Yang Tie. Yang Tie also smiled and retracted the Shield of the Turning Heavens Will.

As the Black Scorpion Beetles were dealt such a lethal blow, they lost their momentum and drive suddenly. Some of them turned more violent as they dashed towards Yang Tie, Zhao Huan and the rest. However, the more violent they were, the less of a threat they posed as they lacked any form of discipline.

Yang Tie, Zhao Huan and the rest relaxed once again. They controlled the attacking rhythm of these Black Scorpion Beetles before letting the Aurous Core Stage disciples take care of them as a form of training.

Wheres Senior Ying Luozha? Zhao Huans spear turned into a streak of black radiance. This black radiance penetrated through space and killed a Black Scorpion Beetle King.

Yang Tie smiled, Its important to catch the leader first. Senior Ying Luozha went to deal with the leader of this bunch of Black Scorpion Beetles. After what weve just gone through, he should have found the leader already?

There was bound to be someone commanding this bunch of Black Scorpion Beetles. However, these Black Scorpion Beetles had not formed the Undying Demon Soul. The highest cultivated among them all were only a few of the Black Scorpion Beetle Kings.

The leader of these beetles was quite crafty and adept at concealing itself. It suppressed a portion of its powers, thus it appeared ordinary to others.

Only the leader could have orchestrated the formation earlier.

If the leader wasnt dead, a disrupted formation could be formed once again quickly. But if the leader was killed, it would be difficult for another beetle to assume its position and unite the beetles as well as to achieve a connection with all of them.

Time was not pressing. As they wanted to give a chance for those of lower cultivation to gain some experience, Yang Tie, Ying Luozha and the others allowed the beetles to run riot. But they did what they had to do naturally.

Ying Luozha was used to operating alone. His Wolf Movement Way was very exquisite. Besides its speed, its also very adept at the art of concealment. Thus, Ying Luozha left the lone mountain lone and laid in ambush as he observed the beetles, trying to seek out their leader.

Amidst the colony of beetles, he did not cause any uproar. The countless Black Scorpion Beetles were unable to detect his movement.

Zhao Huan shook his head in awe, Senior Ying Luozhas Wolf Movement Way is indeed miraculous. Among this Black Scorpion Beetle tribe, there must be one with an Undying Demon Soul in order for Senior Ying Luozha to be discovered.

As he said, his expression changed slightly. Yang Tie, Sun Xueer, Ke Jing and the rest also turn slightly more serious.

Hades tribe has descended in the Greater World again The bunch of junior disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders creased their brows.

Although now of them had ever witnessed how powerful the Hades tribe was, they were naturally aware of what this meant as the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Whereas Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan who informed them instructed them to retreat temporarily and await further instructions.

Although it was unknown what the Hades tribe would do, the junior disciples that were scattered all around still had to be careful. If they were not careful, itd be a pity for them to be caught in any unwanted situations.

Zhao Huan and Yang Tie stared at each other and nodded their heads, Since this is the case, we shall not play with these beetles anymore. Lets end this quick.

And at the same time, a voice rang in everyones ears, I shall make a move then.

This voice belonged to Ying Luozha. Before he even finished speaking, a streak of blade radiance lit up in the distance.
