So it had no choice but to reposition, lying on Tie Dan’s back, transforming into four arms to lock his head and twist his neck, flapping its wings to lift Tie Dan up while forcibly dragging him through the air, shouting,
"I’ll cover the rear! Everyone abandon ship!"
"Hold the line~~~" "Quick! Abandon ship! Don’t let the True Man die in vain!" "What about so many eggs!" "Forget about them! We’ll lay more later!"
At that moment, the swarm of human-headed flying insects were buzzing noisily, squeezing out from the meat walls and holes, flapping their wings and flying away, seemingly headed to seek their own paths upon breaking into the atmosphere.
Tie Dan could also see that this demon cave harbored a nest of ants, all truly here to Yinghuo Star for colonization.
He was also afraid that any movement might tear the tiny insect apart, so he didn’t fight back, continuing to attempt frequency changes, transmitting sound over.
"Don’t be scared, it’s a misunderstanding..."
"Nonsense! You ate so many of our Heavenly Demons! Still claiming it’s a misunderstanding! Let’s die together!!"
Immortal Cockroach seemed to have responded urgently, actually holding Tie Dan, charging inward towards the mountain’s body, towards a blazing place akin to a sea of lava, apparently intending to throw Tie Dan into the lava to scorch him to death...
Tie Dan, who had just emerged from the magma bath, was also helpless, though he had already seen it through.
And within the mountain, it’s not lava but actually the inner Qi Sea, in other words, the Qi Pill inside the Dao Body, a controlled nuclear fusion high-temperature plasma reactor.
Indeed, the essence of this mountain is actually a Doorway Demon God, moreover one at the Refining God and Returning Void Stage, powerful enough for a Great Demon Beast to cross the Void in flesh.
The exterior is rocky meteorite, but internally it’s actually flesh organs; those Flying Heavenly Horses that flew out earlier are likely eggs produced by this Great Demon Beast.
And these Demon Mountain cockroach bugs and maggots are actually parasitic inside this Demon God’s body, leveraging the Demon God spaceship to traverse the Void, to colonize Yinghuo.
Although taking another hot bath by eating this mountain and then flying back to Earth might be an option, Tie Dan slightly exerted force, breaking free from the cockroach’s restraint.
Then, as if peeling shrimp shells, he casually tore the cockroach into pieces, finally shedding all the insect shells, revealing a blood-drenched, tender and fragrant writhing True Man flesh maggot.
"Pah! Demon! Kill me!"
The True Man’s flesh struggled and writhed in Tie Dan’s palm, spraying out sword qi and saber gang in a desperate attempt to fight, but unfortunately, even a mark couldn’t be made.
And Tie Dan frowned deeply, unable to resist closely studying the ecological characteristics of these monsters.
This True Man flesh strip looked identical to those maggots in the nursery, all with human heads, but the torso along the spine lacked limbs, only a mass of nerve fibers.
And if one must say there’s any difference between the two, it’s probably that it’s older, with the baby face matured into an old man’s face, evolving from tender maggot to old maggot...
Ahem, anyway, these maggots seem to have diverged significantly on the evolutionary path at the Core Formation stage, hence this cockroach didn’t enter a cocoon to transform into a human, but instead grew an exoskeleton insect shell outside the maggot body to protect the tender maggot within.
Although at first glance, this cockroach seems inferior in realm and Primordial Spirit Dao Power compared to those multi-headed and multi-limbed Demon Gods, yet through live dissection, living consumption, Tie Dan did see through it.
Though those Demon Gods may appear human in Dao Body shape, they are actually closer to a type of equipment; the human-headed flying bugs are actually the body, entirely a bizarre Left Dao, relying on multiple brains inserted into a vessel for operation.
While this cockroach shrimp strip may look strange at first, it actually follows more closely the classic cultivation path of Mystic Sect like Condensing Pill and Infant, Refining Qi and Transforming God. This cockroach shell fundamentally arises from refining evil, inside the Divine Court it has even refined a Nascent Soul.
Tie Dan coldly remarked,
"I announce for the last time, I am the Sect Leader Xuantian of Beichen Sword Sect, recently out of seclusion. Answer honestly, I won’t eat you."
"Pah! Demon! Just kill me! What nonsense are you talking!"
The True Man angrily roared, resolute and fearless in the face of death.
"No, please!"
At this time, another maiden shrimp strip bounced out from a nearby meat hole.
Hmm, maiden, shrimp strip... A girl’s head, maggot’s body, but the flesh looked tighter and more elastic, more like a watery shrimp compared to the tender pink maggot, though certainly all high-protein...
"Spare us, Lord! We are Mo Mountain villagers here to Yinghuo for development! We have no dispute with the Three Great Sects! Answer all your inquiries, just please give us a way to survive!"
The maiden shrimp strip bowed in ritual, her big watery eyes blinking.
Hmm... Ugh!!
Mad how could there be such strange, nauseating Daoist Skill?? Who the hell came up with this!??
