The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3049 - 3024: Soul Combustion Worm

Taking advantage of the Bronze Men’s attention still being on the Sword Pavilion Clan warriors, Lin Bai, Ye Suxin, and Bai Qing dashed past the Bronze Men’s blockade line, entering the passageway behind the Bronze Men.

Bai Qing went in first, while Lin Bai and Ye Suxin followed a step behind.

This passageway didn’t seem very long.

At the speed of Lin Bai and Ye Suxin, they passed through the passageway in the blink of an eye, entering the final layer.

If nothing unexpected occurs, this place should be where the Dragon Corpse is located.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin, side by side, transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly crossing the passageway.

As they reached the end of the passageway, Lin Bai and Ye Suxin were dumbfounded by the scene before them.

At the end of the passageway lies a vast underground world, even larger than the previous plaza of the Daogu Tribe’s territory.

In this underground world, peculiar and rare flowers flourished.

All sorts of beautiful flowers swayed in the underground world, their multi-colored glow illuminating the entire space.

"This..."

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin emerged from the passageway, looking at the flower-filled world before them in astonishment.

The ground was covered in colorful, glowing flowers.

As they looked ahead into the sea of flowers, at the very center stood a nine-layered Jade Platform, upon which rested a Bronze Coffin. Who or what was buried inside remained unknown.

"Lin Bai, look above!"

Ye Suxin whispered urgently.

Lin Bai suddenly looked up, and above the flower sea, hanging on top of the Bronze Coffin, a dead but undecayed Huang Long was suspended in the void.

Even though this Divine Dragon was deceased, its imperial aura, undiminished after tens of thousands of years, still lingered.

"Is this the Dragon Clan?"

Lin Bai stared in awe at the dead Divine Dragon.

The corpse of the Divine Dragon hung above the flower sea, approximately a hundred zhang in length, with a massive body, golden scales, deer antlers, eagle claws, fish scales, dragon whiskers, and dragon horns...

"It’s so unbelievable! This is also my first time seeing the Dragon Clan..." Ye Suxin exclaimed in shock, "Even though this Dragon Clan Senior has been dead for years, the royal pressure gathered on him remains perfectly intact even today!"

Lin Bai gazed at the Dragon Corpse, overwhelmed by the majestic divine force emanating from it, and couldn’t help but be shaken to his core.

"Sea of Flowers Bronze Coffin, Suspended Heavenly Dragon Corpse!"

"What exactly has the Daogu Tribe done here?"

Lin Bai said with a solemn expression.

But just then, from the passageway behind Lin Bai, an intent to kill emerged, directed at Lin Bai’s back.

"Lin Bai, you rascal, prepare to meet your end!" A roar came forth.

Lin Bai quickly turned around to look and saw three figures rushing at him from the passageway.

Among the three was the shadow of Su Shaoyou.

The other two were Su Qian, at the Fourth Level of the Wending Realm, and Su Chang, at the Fifth Level of the Wending Realm!

Su Qian charged out of the passageway, the power of the Fourth Level of the Wending Realm immediately unleashed, striking towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai pushed Ye Suxin aside and took out his Wooden Sword, activating the Unbeatable Sword Skill, raising his cultivation to the Second Level of the Wending Realm, and in an instant, struck out with a sword.

With a bang.

A sword collision with Su Qian sent Lin Bai flying backward, landing amidst the flower sea.

As Lin Bai’s foot stepped into the flower sea, suddenly, from the sea of flowers, numerous Flying Mosquitoes soared, exuding enchanting colors as they swiftly ascended into the air.

The Flying Mosquitoes danced before Lin Bai, capturing his attention.

This sight was particularly enchanting and beautiful.

"The Dragon Corpse!" Su Shaoyou, upon reaching the place, looked up at the Dragon Corpse hanging in the air and couldn’t help but shout in amazement.

"Since the Dragon Corpse is suspended in the air, then who is within the Bronze Coffin in the flower sea?" Su Chang asked in surprise.

"The fireflies rising from the flower sea are truly beautiful!" Su Qian said, holding a Sharp Sword, looking at the glow-emitting small creatures rising from the flower sea.

These glowing little insects danced dreamily in the air.

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin were also drawn to these little creatures.

In an instant.

Bai Qing’s voice echoed, coldly saying, "Be careful, these are Soul Combustion Worms!"

Upon hearing the name, Lin Bai was still puzzled, but Ye Suxin’s face suddenly turned pale at the mention of the name, urgently directing Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, don’t let these little bugs touch your body!"

Upon hearing Ye Suxin’s warning, Lin Bai quickly channeled his Spiritual Power, his two Flying Swords emerging and circling around him, annihilating any approaching fire bugs.

But at that moment, a fire bug landed on Su Chang, touching his skin.

Su Chang didn’t suspect much at first, but in that instant, the fire bug burrowed into his skin, and immediately he felt a sensation as if an immense flame was igniting within his body.

"Aaaaargh..." Su Chang screamed in agony.

Su Qian and Su Shaoyou quickly distanced themselves from Su Chang, shocked and unable to react.

More and more fire bugs flew toward Su Chang, merging within him.

Lin Bai and others could clearly see that within Su Chang’s body, it was as if a blazing flame erupted, consuming his organs and marrow swiftly.

Su Chang’s entire body turned to ash in an instant, vanishing from everyone’s sight.

It’s truly hard to believe that a strong one at the Fifth Level of the Wending Realm died just like that.

Lin Bai quickly jumped out from the flower sea, moving to Ye Suxin’s side, with Flying Swords protecting them both.

Three-Colored Divine Thunder also operated within Lin Bai, shielding him and Ye Suxin, instantly destroying any fire bugs that approached them with its lightning.

Su Qian and Su Shaoyou, witnessing Su Chang’s tragic death, were instantly filled with trepidation, and the two stood together, warily eyeing the fire bugs flying around.

Ye Suxin whispered, "These are Soul Combustion Worms; while they don’t have strong attacks, they have a characteristic where when they touch blood or Spiritual Power, they instantly turn into flames!"

"The stronger a warrior’s Spiritual Power, the fiercer the flame becomes!"

"However, the chance of a Soul Combustion Worm being born is very low!"

"Once, the Poison God Clan tried to breed such Soul Combustion Worms but couldn’t succeed!"

"For a Soul Combustion Worm to be born, it must first have an egg develop on a strong one’s corpse, but this is extremely difficult to achieve!"

"Back then, when the Poison God Clan tried to cultivate it, they even purchased many corpses of strong ones, but none succeeded in generating Soul Combustion Worm eggs!"

"Even if an egg emerges by luck, it’s extremely fragile; and even if a Soul Combustion Worm is successfully raised, its lifespan is very short, lasting less than ten years from the moment it’s born!"

"So, eventually, the Poison God Clan stopped breeding them and chose to find Soul Combustion Worms in other tomb mansions instead."

"I suspect Bai Qing came here for the Soul Combustion Worms too."

Ye Suxin whispered.
