Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 1957 Devouring Alien Insects, the Scope is Too Small.

Within the alternate dimension of the Void Ruins, black poisonous fog spread like a tide, and wherever it passed, the air hissed and corroded.

The tens of thousands of Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes that were originally moving like lightning suddenly began to tremble. Although they were not immediately dissolved into pus and blood by the poisonous mist, their flight paths became erratic, like drunkards staggering, and their speed was reduced by more than half. They were clearly being firmly restrained by the poison.

Inside the Sky Shuttle, Mo Fan's brow furrowed slightly, and his divine sense pierced through the shuttle wall like a searchlight, taking in the scene within the poisonous fog.

Sure enough, this time his divine sense was not attacked again.

The Soul-Burning Gold-Devouring Scythes had lost all their previous ferocity and were now preoccupied with their own survival. Their wings flapped erratically as they darted around in the poisonous mist, resembling headless flies that had lost their souls.

"As expected of a mature Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythe, it has withstood the poison of my Life and Death Sword for so long!" Mo Fan was secretly shocked. This level of defense had exceeded his expectations.

It should be noted that the poison of the Life and Death Sword is extremely potent, and ordinary cultivators would die upon contact with it. Yet these insects have managed to survive until now, demonstrating just how terrifying their body's defenses are.

Just then, Grandpa Qian's aged voice rang in Mo Fan's mind, carrying a hint of guidance: "The defenses of these insects are concentrated on the surface of their bodies, but their interiors are extremely weak."

Your Life and Death Sword has already transformed into poisonous mist, seeping entirely into their bodies. Now, all you need to do is unleash its power and detonate the toxins; these Soul-Burning Gold-Devouring Scythes won't last a moment.

“You’re right.” Mo Fan’s lips curled into a cold smile, a sly glint in his eyes. “I didn’t just use the Life and Death Sword; I also activated the Divine Spore Toxin.”

This thing is extremely troublesome; once it enters the body, it will multiply wildly, burrowing into the heart and bones, as difficult to remove as a maggot clinging to the bone.

Even a tiny trace left can instantly generate endless toxins. These insects are already filled with spore toxins; their lives hang in the balance!

He could clearly sense that although the Soul-Burning Gold-Devouring Scythe in the poisonous fog was still barely holding on, its life force was being quietly eroded by the toxins. With just a thought, he could kill these insects instantly.

"Then what are you dawdling for? There's no queen insect here, just kill her!" Grandpa Qian urged impatiently.

"No rush, I want to do another experiment."

Mo Fan shook his head. Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed out of the Sky Shuttle like a ghost and stood steadily in the void shrouded in poisonous fog.

As soon as they appeared, a dense, ear-piercing buzzing suddenly erupted from the poisonous fog. It was the ferocious sound of tens of thousands of Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes flapping their wings frantically after sensing the enemy.

The next moment, the dark swarm of insects, like a dark cloud pressing down, charged towards Mo Fan.

However, due to the corrosive effects of the toxins, their speed has slowed down by a full 30% compared to their peak, their golden light has dimmed considerably, and their fierce aura of burning spirit and devouring gold has weakened by more than half.

"Just in time!"

A cold glint flashed in Mo Fan's eyes, and he burst into laughter, "I, the Emperor, would like to taste what it's like to have your bodies of copper and iron!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the supernatural power within his body erupted violently.

Supernatural power, swallow the sky!

hum!

A deafening buzzing sound resounded through the void, and a huge devouring vortex with a diameter of tens of feet instantly appeared in front of Mo Fan. The center of the vortex was as black as ink, as if it were connected to an endless abyss. The terrifying devouring power swept in all directions, and the surrounding poisonous mist was drawn into the vortex.

Those fearless Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes that charged forward didn't even have time to scream before they were swept into the vortex by this irresistible suction force and swallowed whole by Mo Fan!

In just a few breaths, tens of thousands of Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes vanished without a trace.

Mo Fan scanned the area with his divine sense to confirm that there were no more alien insects left behind before he concealed his aura and focused his mind into his inner space.

The tens of thousands of Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes were seen frantically darting around in the body's space, emitting terrified screechs, and crashing into the surroundings like headless flies.

But soon, their bodies began to shimmer with golden light, and their golden carapaces began to corrode and melt away at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into specks of golden light that drifted into the space.

In less than half an incense stick's time, these tens of thousands of mature Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes were completely refined by the decomposition power of the internal space.

A warm, nourishing force spread throughout his body along his meridians. Mo Fan immediately focused his mind and guided this force to nourish his body.

Half an incense stick later, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the back of his hand. He saw a few dim golden star-like spots on it, few in number and inconspicuous.

But he could clearly feel that the skin's defenses on his body had subtly strengthened.

"These Soul-Burning Gold-Devouring Scythes are only notable for their defensive capabilities and their indestructible jaws; otherwise, they are nothing special."

Grandpa Qian's voice rang out again, with a hint of teasing, "You've swallowed tens of thousands of mature bodies, but that only increases your defense by a tiny bit. To activate the legendary, supremely defensive Gold-Eating Body, you'd have to swallow at least hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions, of them."

Whether so many insects can be gathered in this Misty Ruins remains to be seen.

Mo Fan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, feeling a pang of heartache: "You're right. These tens of thousands of Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes only replenished my Geng Metal Qi, and the amount of Yuan Qi they gave back was pitifully small."

Instead of absorbing them to strengthen our defenses, it's more worthwhile to just kill them and take their Geng metal.

If all tens of thousands of mature Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythes from just now were refined and extracted, they would yield at least a considerable amount of pure Geng Gold, which is an excellent material for crafting magic weapons.

Now that his body had been completely destroyed by the internal space, Mo Fan was naturally somewhat frustrated.

"You're so narrow-minded!" Old Man Qian couldn't help but curse. "As long as you can subdue a Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythe Queen, you'll never have to worry about Geng Gold again! That's an inexhaustible mine of Geng Gold, this little loss is nothing!"

"Uh... now that you mention it, it does make sense!"

Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped feeling sorry for the poisonous fog. He chuckled and raised his hand to strike the fog in front of him.

The poisonous mist that permeated the void immediately seemed to come alive, writhing and converging, eventually condensing into a jet-black longsword, which was the true form of the Life and Death Sword.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Fan opened his mouth again, and the remaining poisonous mist in his body flew out, merging into the Life and Death Sword like birds returning to their nests.

These toxins were originally part of the Life and Death Sword. After the Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Scythe was decomposed, they remained in the body's internal space and have now finally returned to their original form.

After doing all this, Mo Fan opened his mouth and inhaled, and the Life and Death Sword transformed into a sword pellet the size of a soybean, instantly disappearing into his mouth and being stored in his dantian for nurturing.

Then, Mo Fan moved and flew back into the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

With a flash of light, the shuttle transformed into a streak of light and instantly soared through the air, speeding towards the secret canyon area at a speed several times faster than before.
