Chapter 162: Slaying Illusory Demons, Obtaining the Spirit Core!

Interesting.

So this is the power of that supreme spiritual treasure that Yao Lingling just mentioned?

To think that even his divine soul's perception could be deceived, it truly is a precious treasure!

Liu Zimo looked at the virtual image that suddenly collapsed before his eyes, not only without panic, but also with a hint of anticipation and joy in his eyes.

Especially when he sensed that there was suddenly an additional figure in his sea of consciousness, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more uncontrollable.

I really didn't expect this!

Just as he was thinking about how to find the true form of the Thousand-Legged Centipede, the other party unexpectedly appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Such an unpredictable and mysterious method, besides the Devouring Spirit Worm clan, who else could perform it?

However, what Liu Zimo didn't expect was that this Thousand-Legged Centipede could also transform into a spiritual body and directly enter his sea of consciousness.

"Astral Projection?!"

"Mr. Eleven, have you gone crazy?!"

"Who gave it the courage to dare to use Astral Projection in front of Liu Zimo, this freak, and even dive into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness?!"

"It's really tired of living!"

"Does it not know that even the clone of the old ancestor fell in this space?"

"Tsk tsk, even the last glimmer of hope has been ruined by itself!"

"..."

At the first moment when he saw Mr. Eleven enter the sea of consciousness, Yao Lingling couldn't help but start to complain, constantly mocking.

Although it knew early on that Mr. Eleven would definitely not be a match for Liu Zimo, defeat and even a miserable death were inevitable.

But it never expected that Mr. Eleven would be so foolish!

Originally, if it had used its innate advantage and the spiritual treasure to escape as soon as it discovered that Liu Zimo was a dual-cultivator at the Divine Connection and Spirit Abyss realms, it might have been able to fight for a glimmer of hope for itself.

But what is it doing now?

As a Thousand-Legged Centipede, instead of using its own innate advantage to fight against the enemy, it is imitating the Devouring Spirit Worm clan and directly diving into the opponent's sea of consciousness!

Has it become stupid as an enlightening teacher in the Devouring Spirit Worm clan?

The reason why the Devouring Spirit Worms dare to be arrogant and domineering in the enemy's sea of consciousness is because they have the Devouring Spirit Divine Ability, which allows them to ignore all mental attacks from the opponent.

And what does Mr. Eleven have?

Besides having an Astral Projection with a spiritual source that reaches the Spirit Abyss realm and looks intimidating, what else does it have?

Can it compare to Liu Zimo, this freak whose sea of consciousness space exceeds 300,000 or even 500,000 meters?

Its spiritual source in the Spirit Abyss realm, diving into Liu Zimo's vast and boundless sea of consciousness, is like a broom falling into the Pacific Ocean. No matter how much it stirs, it won't be able to shake the entire ocean!

Therefore, its dream of using the spiritual treasure bestowed by the old ancestor, along with its own realm and origin, to forcefully suppress Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness is simply wishful thinking!

While Yao Lingling was constantly complaining in his mind.

The Thousand-Legged Centipede, which successfully dived into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness, transformed into a human form, holding a staff that looked like a tree branch and emitted a faint holy light, and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, even if you cultivate both the spiritual and martial paths, what does it matter if you have reached the Divine Connection realm in martial arts?"

"When you encounter this deity, it will definitely be the biggest nightmare of your life!"

"Today, I will let you, a small creature living in a lower world, witness what a true Divine Ability is!"

As he spoke, the thousand-legged centipede raised the staff in his hand, activating his spiritual power!

Swish!

From one end of the staff, a shining white spiritual thread sprayed out, directly probing into the depths of his sea of consciousness!

Seeing this, Liu Zimo's mouth twitched involuntarily.

So this is the reliance of the thousand-legged centipede, allowing it to enter his sea of consciousness through Astral Projection!

Isn't this just a castrated version of the Devouring Spirit Divine Ability of the Spirit-Eating Worm Clan?

However, what is sealed within this staff seems to be the Holy Realm spiritual thread created by the Devouring Spirit Ancestor!

It's really something.

If it were someone else, even Zhang Zhenren, who is also in the Spirit Abyss Realm, or ancient spirit beasts like Turtle Longevity and Jiao Linglong, most likely would have fallen for this Holy Realm spiritual thread.

Once the opponent weaves a net with the spiritual thread in his sea of consciousness, they would become puppets of this thousand-legged centipede in minutes!

It has to be said.

Although this thousand-legged centipede is not a Spirit-Eating Worm, with the help of this staff treasure, it has already acquired some of the characteristics of the Spirit-Eating Worm.

Unfortunately, its luck is not good. It encountered the greatest nemesis of the Spirit-Eating Worm and is destined to fail tragically.

Liu Zimo quietly closed off and blocked the passage to his sea of consciousness.

At the same time, he sent out a strand of spiritual consciousness to silently observe the performance of the thousand-legged centipede, not immediately killing it.

Because until now, he still hasn't found the true body of this thousand-legged centipede.

If he rashly kills its spiritual source, completely severing the connection with its true body, Liu Zimo's most coveted centipede meat and spiritual core would have no place to go.

Therefore, after sealing off the passage to his sea of consciousness, Liu Zimo focused all his attention on the group of monsters outside.

His spiritual domain suddenly descended, enveloping the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Countless monsters, numbering in the tens of thousands, were all suppressed and trembling on the ground under his outwardly projected divine will.

Liu Zimo's spiritual consciousness circulated, rapidly searching and investigating these monsters.

At the same time, the thousand-legged centipede, who was releasing the spiritual thread in his sea of consciousness, seemed to have sensed something wrong.

The spiritual treasure in its hand had been spewing out silk for several seconds, but why was there still no response?

In the past, when it used these methods, it would almost instantly receive feedback. From spewing silk to weaving a web, it wouldn't even take a second!

Why is it that this time, several breaths have passed, but the spiritual thread still hasn't reached the edge of the sea of consciousness?

"What's going on?!"

"In this amount of time, the spiritual thread should have probed tens of thousands of meters. Why is there still no response?"

"He's just a human cultivator in the Spirit Abyss Realm. His sea of consciousness space couldn't be that large, right?"

Swish!

Just then, the spiritual treasure in its hand suddenly shook, and the outwardly projected spiritual thread was instantly completely retracted.

The thousand-legged centipede, who knew what this meant, suddenly changed his expression!

"This is impossible!"

"This is a spiritual treasure personally crafted by the Devouring Spirit Ancestor, and the spiritual thread inside was also arranged by the Ancestor himself. How could it not probe to the end?!"

"There must be something wrong somewhere!"

"This is just a low-level world that has just awakened spiritual power. How could there be such a powerful spiritual cultivator?"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

In a panic, the Thousand-Leg Centipede muttered to itself and once again activated the spiritual treasure in its hand, changing direction to continue probing.

The result.

Once, twice... five times, ten times!

Every time was the same!

The top-grade spiritual treasure in its hand had completely become a decoration, with no effect in this sea of consciousness space!

The Thousand-Leg Centipede was completely crushed.

When it realized that the top-grade spiritual treasure it relied on had completely lost its effect, it belatedly discovered that it seemed to be trapped!

Unable to advance or retreat, life and death were no longer under its control.

It was only at this moment that it realized how reckless and impulsive it was to rashly enter someone else's sea of consciousness with the Astral Projection of the spiritual source.

"Who would have thought that even the spiritual treasure bestowed by the Devouring Spirit Ancestor could not be relied upon?!"

After struggling in vain several times, the Thousand-Leg Centipede looked at the burning stick in its hand and despondently muttered.

"Fortunately, to be on the safe side, I didn't Astral Project all of the spiritual source. I left a strand of true spirit in my physical body."

"Even if something unexpected happens this time, the remaining strand of true spirit will gradually recover in my physical body..."

"Hmm?!"

Just as the thought crossed the Thousand-Leg Centipede's mind, it sensed a violent tremor in the spiritual source. Immediately after, its mind was in pain, almost causing the spiritual source to collapse!

"Ah~!"

"Damn it, my true body has actually been discovered, and that last strand of true spirit has been killed by the other party!"

The Thousand-Leg Centipede cried out in pain, and with a splash, it fell to the surface of the sea, and its spiritual source body also appeared ethereal!

"How is this possible?"

"I clearly hid so well. In order to prevent detection, I even burrowed into the belly of a beast, allowing the Cloud-Piercing Beast to hover directly in the ten-thousand-meter-high sky of the Dragon Tiger Mountain without landing!"

"Why, in the end, was I still discovered?!"

The Thousand-Leg Centipede couldn't understand. It had been so careful, so how did it end up exposing its true form? How did the other party discover it?

Outside the sea of consciousness.

Watching as the master waved his hand and shot down a flying bird suspended in the sky, and then dissected a thumb-sized mysterious little centipede from the bird's belly, Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao both showed surprise and doubt.

"Master, how did you discover it hiding in the bird's belly?"

"Yeah, Master, this little centipede is too cunning. Who would have thought that it didn't come with the beast tide on the ground, but has been flying in the sky all along!"

They had noticed this bird in the sky before.

However, seeing that it only had the strength of the Iron Bone Realm and had been circling and flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters, it posed no threat to them, so they ignored it.

Who would have thought that this bird, which they had all overlooked, would be the mastermind behind this beast tide!

"It did hide very well, but there's always a loophole!"

Liu Zimo glanced lightly at the Golden Body Realm cultivators he had placed on the back of the old turtle earlier and said in a low voice.

"The influence of the illusions on them has not been completely lifted, and there is still a trace of spiritual aura remaining in each person's sea of consciousness..."

Oh!

Upon the master's mention, Xiaofei Hong and Lou Xiaoxiao, the two girls, nodded in realization at the same time!

If we compare these golden body puppets to kites controlled by demons, then the trace of spiritual consciousness left in their sea of knowledge is like the thread tied to the kite.

As long as they follow these threads, it is not difficult to find the hand holding these threads!

It's a simple truth.

However, with their current cultivation level, they are still unable to perceive the spiritual consciousness threads above the spiritual abyss realm, and they are still unable to follow the threads to find the hiding place of the true culprit.

At this moment, Liu Zimo no longer showed any courtesy, directly raising his hand and cutting off the thirteenth section of the small centipede's abdomen!

Swish!

With one slash, the small centipede didn't even struggle, and instantly perished!

Yao Lingling was right. This thirteenth segment is indeed the fatal weak point of the thousand-legged centipede. This place happens to be its weakest defense!

Otherwise, according to the characteristic of "a hundred-footed insect, dead but not stiff," even if its head was cut off with one slash, it might not die so cleanly in a short period of time!

Swoosh!

The gushing demon blood was directly absorbed into the Eastern Pearl by him.

Because the enormous demon body, which had exhausted its demonic power and returned to its true form, lay flat on the back of the giant turtle.

The enormous corpse, over two thousand meters long, placed on the giant turtle's equally enormous shell, was like a small loach in a dish, not at all out of place, let alone crowded!

Liu Zimo waved his hand and split the huge head of the centipede in half.

Soon, in its left and right brains, he found a brown spiritual core the size of a walnut.

Liu Zimo beckoned and took the two spiritual cores into his hand, lowering his head to examine them.

The spiritual cores were shaped like walnuts, with a dull luster. The spiritual energy and spiritual essence emitted from time to time were almost the same as the soul crystal he obtained from killing the soul-devouring insects before.

However, the spiritual energy and essence contained in these spiritual cores were even more abundant and powerful, much stronger than the King's Soul Crystal.

No wonder Yao Lingling was also coveting these spiritual cores. For all spiritual cultivators, this is indeed a rare treasure for cultivation!

"Feihong, Xiaoxiao, the rest is up to you!"

"This thousand-legged centipede may look terrifying on the outside, but it is a treasure. Its flesh and blood are also a great tonic for martial artists above the Martial Master realm!"

Liu Zimo held the two spiritual cores and instructed Xiaofei Hong and the others.

The two girls nodded in response to his words.

Then, they took out the collection tools from their waists one after another and started working directly on the back of the old turtle.

At this time, Liu Zimo once again sank into his sea of knowledge and saw that the thousand-legged spiritual source had already realized what had happened. Without a word, he condensed his divine intent and instantly slashed towards the thousand-legged spiritual source!

Swoosh!

The spiritual source dispersed and turned into a massive amount of spiritual essence, merging into his sea of knowledge.

The staff spiritual treasure that he had held in his hand was instantly ownerless and directly taken by Liu Zimo from a distance, suppressing it in his hand!

Outside.

With the death of the thousand-legged illusion demon, the spiritual consciousness connection between it and the human martial artists controlled by its puppets was instantly severed.

Without Liu Zimo needing to deliberately awaken them, they woke up one after another and regained their clarity.

After all, they were all Martial Master realm martial artists, and their physical fitness was far superior to ordinary people.

After waking up, they quickly recalled everything that had happened to them and naturally knew who their lifesaver was.

They all stood up at the same time, bowing to Liu Zimo to express their gratitude.
