816 The Real Enemy
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. With the support of such pure spiritual energy, Lin Mo quickly broke through to the Saint Realm.
However, the power in this layer of space was still surging in endlessly.
His seclusion continued. In another three days, he arrived at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Saint Realm.
It was also on this day that an unforeseen event occurred.
!!
A huge crack appeared in the sky. It was extremely huge, and a black fog surged out from it.
“This aura!”
Lin Mo instantly woke up and stared ahead solemnly.
He would never forget this black fog in his life. It was also his most important enemy.
The enemy hiding in the dark had once caused Lin Mo a lot of trouble.
“How did you find me? Didn’t the Red Karmic Fire Lotus Seed wash away my karma?” he muttered to himself, his eyes solemn.
This wasn’t a black mist at all, but tiny bugs.
Spirit Devouring Bugs were creatures that should have gone extinct. The destruction of the ancient era was very likely related to them.
Now, these things had appeared again, and it was on a sky battlefield that had been set up by the Heavenly Dao.
This made it difficult for Lin Mo to calm down. He had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
“Rumble!”
The heavenly tribulation descended, and endless heavenly lightning spread out, crazily attacking the black fog. Countless Spirit Devouring Bugs were turned into dust at this moment.
The Heavenly Dao attacked and used the heavenly tribulation to kill the Spirit Devouring Bugs.
Lin Mo did not want to be outdone either. The Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword flew out, and the sword qi that slashed out destroyed everything.
[ Mission completed. Reward: Mastery of the Yin Yang Dao Law and the Law of Fate. ]
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo’s mind.
He had completed his mission. He had won this battlefield and had been proven to be invincible. He had successfully obtained luck.
At this moment, his soul was still a little muddled and stuck in a trance. However, the doubts about the laws in his heart were suddenly cleared.
Suddenly, he instantly understood everything that he had not understood in the past.
“Boom!”
The aura in his body skyrocketed. After comprehending the laws, his realm breakthrough became faster and faster, and the circulation of the God Devouring Art increased.
His cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before.
At the same time, he also felt that after his epiphany, the suppression of the Heavenly Dao laws on him had weakened.
In the end, he even disappeared. Even though this was the Quasi-Saint Space, he could still erupt with the power of a Saint.
“Woooo!”
The Spirit Devouring Bugs let out a series of hissing sounds and swarmed towards Lin Mo like a tide.
In their sea of consciousness, there was no intelligence, only an instinct to devour this world.
The person in front of them was their primary goal. Kill and devour.
“Boom!”
Lin Mo’s body did not move at all. Instead, he raised his hand and pressed down.
The terrifying force instantly killed a large number of Spirit Devouring Bugs, and a dazzling sword light erupted.
[ System Mission: Head to the Saint battlefield and defeat all your opponents. ]
[ Mission Reward: Innate Supreme Treasures Four Celestial Slaying Swords, Celestial Slayer Sword, Celestial Trapping Sword!]
At the same time, the system’s mission was released, which allowed him to head to the next battlefield.
As long as he won, he would be able to obtain the four Celestial Slaying Swords that he had always dreamed of.
“Unfortunately, I cannot escape…”
Lin Mo was helpless. He had to stay here. The effect of the Heavenly Tribulation on the Spirit Devouring Bugs was getting smaller and smaller.
If this continued, this space would be occupied. He was worried that an accident would happen.
At this moment, he urgently needed strength. The luck in this space had not been cultivated yet, so he could not let the Spirit Devouring Bugs wreak havoc here.
With a strike of his palm, the Yin Yang Dao Law circulated, and the world rumbled.
At this moment, it was as if he was inheriting the will of heaven and earth. The power of his palm was so terrifying.
Amidst the booming sounds, the giant palm changed, as if it was about to turn into a Kun Peng and press downwards.
“Wooo!”
The Spirit Devouring Bugs wreaked havoc, and the black fog that had been revealed to be them actually began to fuse because they could sense the terrifying aura on Lin Mo’s body.
In the next moment, they had actually transformed into a pitch-black Kun Peng.
They were also using the Yin Yang Dao Law, which clashed with Lin Mo’s palm with a deafening sound.
“Heavens, is this the end of the world? What kind of creature is that?”
There were still cultivators lingering in this space, wanting to see how far Lin Mo could go.
While Lin Mo had been cultivating, they had not had anything to do, so they had wandered around in the space. They were very curious about the sky battlefield.
Who would have thought that a huge hole would suddenly appear in the sky, and a large black mist would come surging over? This power was extremely terrifying.
Some of them had already been robbed and were rushing towards Lin Mo, hoping that Lin Mo could save them.
When they came over and saw this scene, they were even more shocked.
“Lin Mo is in a tough battle. What kind of creature is that?”
“To be able to form into a black Kun Peng, what kind of heaven-defying method is this?”
The crisis was temporarily averted, and the black fog that was chasing them turned around and merged into the black Kun Peng.
Its power became even stronger and began to force Lin Mo’s palm back. The Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword was not able to disperse it.
“The cultivating speed should be increased a little…” Lin Mo muttered. At this moment, he was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Saint Realm.
However, it was still not enough to kill these Spirit Devouring Bugs.
The restrictions on him in this space had begun to loosen. In contrast, the power of these Spirit Devouring Bugs had also become stronger.
A bitter battle was inevitable. Faced with hundreds of millions of Spirit Devouring Bugs, he could not hold on alone. The spiritual qi in his body was being consumed very quickly.
This was because every move used killing moves, martial arts, and laws to the extreme to resist the Spirit Devouring Bugs.
If not for the endless supply of qi from the Inner World, he would have been drowned by the endless insect tide.
“Crack!”
In the distance, another crack appeared in space. This space was like a mirror and actually began to crack.
At the same time, Lin Mo also felt that the power of luck in his body was a little unstable, and his realm was actually at risk of falling.
“D*mn it, what exactly is the problem…”
Lin Mo gritted his teeth. If the space shattered, the suppression here would disappear. He would be in the middle of the endless insect tide, so his only escape would be to enter the Inner World.
However, he couldn’t do that because the Demon State was below, and the Qilin was still there.
The Spirit Devouring Bugs had targeted him because he had cultivated the Yin Yang Fruit of the World Tree, which was a world treasure.
At the same time, the Qilin had also cultivated the Fruit of Destiny.
Once these Spirit Devouring Bugs lost their target, the Qilin would become the next victim.
“I will never allow such a thing to happen.”
Lin Mo gritted his teeth. The power of laws spread out and continuously killed the Spirit Devouring Bugs.
If things didn’t work out, he would risk his life to kill his way out of the sky battlefield, find the Qilin, and escape with her.
In his dictionary, it was acceptable to escape, but abandoning one’s companions was absolutely not allowed.
“Come on, let me see if you really can’t kill them all.”
He threw his head back and laughed. The most dazzling sword light erupted here, and endless sword qi surged.
The facts had proven that there was no end to the Spirit Devouring Bugs.
Cracks continued to appear until the space was about to collapse. Lin Mo’s current cultivation realm had also reached the eighth level of the Saint Realm.
Because of the intense battle, the spiritual qi was constantly consumed and replenished.
This undoubtedly sped up his cultivation speed. After fighting against the Spirit Devouring Bugs for three days, he was about to reach the peak of the Saint Realm.
“Just a little more and I’ll be able to go to the next battlefield in half an hour,” said Lin Mo while gritting his teeth.
