Chapter 77

"Boom——"

A powerful aura suddenly surged towards Xiao Yan, like an invisible mountain.

Faced with such a formidable aura attack, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed sharply. His time was limited; he had only one chance to rush into the center, and it all depended on his speed.

Xiao Yan's hand suddenly produced the Ancient Flame Ruler, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to an extraordinary size. He fiercely smashed it down onto the densely packed swarm of insects. As expected, with his current strength, these insects could not resist. Every insect hit by the Ancient Flame Ruler turned into a puddle of minced flesh.

"Three Thousand Thunderbolts!"

Xiao Yan shouted, his figure transforming into several streaks of lightning as he surged towards the center. This movement technique, Three Thousand Thunderbolts, was something Xiao Yan hadn't used in a long time. Unexpectedly, it worked well on the continent of Dou Di, and Xiao Yan's figure was getting closer to the center.

"You young whelps, how dare you intrude into the forbidden graveyard..."

A deep voice echoed from the center of the insect swarm, the same terrifying aura he had sensed earlier.

Xiao Yan did not pause, his figure still swiftly darting around. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and a powerful aura attacked Xiao Yan. Based on Xiao Yan's perception, this aura was at least at the peak of one-star Dou Di, far beyond his capabilities.

Xiao Yan abruptly turned, dodging the attack, but several more black shadows flashed behind him, and several attacks quickly rushed towards Xiao Yan. Cold sweat immediately seeped through his back. The auras of these large insects all exceeded Xiao Yan's, putting him in a very dangerous situation. Xiao Yan's Ancient Flame Ruler moved rapidly in a strange trajectory to evade the attacks.

These insects are called Demon Devouring Black Blood Insects, typically found in places with a lot of blood qi, such as the Demon Domain Graveyard, where they can devour different types of blood qi to grow. Generally, adult Demon Devouring Black Blood Insects can reach the strength of a two-star Dou Di. However, in the Demon Domain Graveyard, their growth seems to be restricted, and these insects are only at the peak of one-star Dou Di. If it were just one insect, Xiao Yan might have a slight chance of victory with all his efforts, but several insects were far beyond what Xiao Yan could handle. Most importantly, Xiao Yan noticed that the blood ailment on his body had been swept away by the demonic blood qi, leaving only a faint layer.

If this continued, the situation would become extremely unfavorable for Xiao Yan. However, escaping from these several Demon Devouring Black Blood Insects would also be extremely difficult. Xiao Yan's expression turned slightly grim. He had already come this far and could not give up, especially since there were good things, as mentioned by Elder Zhan, waiting there.
