No hope for eternal life

Chapter 336 Soul-Eating Insect

But as the Obsidian Spirit Puppet reached the seventh level, You Liancheng's speed advantage no longer existed, because the seventh level Obsidian Spirit Puppet was slightly faster than him.

After You Liancheng managed to reach the eighth gear, his speed no longer gave him any advantage, and he was instead completely crushed by the speed of the Obsidian Spirit Puppet.

Therefore, You Liancheng was quickly defeated and only lasted for seventy-one breaths.

Then, the ranking of the top twenty was announced by the formation spirit:

First place: Cui Li from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, seventy-seven breaths.

Second place: Mu Changsheng of Lingshan Sect, seventy-six breaths.

Third place: You Huanyu of the You clan, seventy-four breaths.

Fourth place: You Liancheng of the You clan, seventy-one breaths.

……

20th place: You Han of the You clan, thirty-four breaths.

Just as Mu Changsheng expected, You Mi Feng failed to make it into the top 20, but he himself also failed to get first place.

You Huanyu and You Liancheng looked at each other subconsciously. Although there was no voice communication, they could understand each other through their eyes.

This is their You clan's martial arts competition, and they cannot let two outsiders, Cui Li and Mu Changsheng, steal the limelight!

Then, the spirit of the formation began to introduce the rules of the last round of competition: "This last round is a real battle. No matter how exquisite the spirit puppets are, they cannot be as creative as humans. Those who ranked high in the previous round may not rank high in this round. In this round of competition, each of you must compete with the other 19 cultivators. The ranking will be determined by the number of wins. If the number of wins is exactly the same, the two will compete again."

After saying that, the formation spirit waved his hand casually, and Mu Changsheng and the other twenty people were divided into ten battle circles of two people each, and each battle circle was far apart from each other.

"You will compete ten times at a time. The one standing in front of you is your first opponent." The formation spirit explained.

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng looked at the female cultivator next to him. Her name was Ji Changying, and she ranked nineteenth in the previous round of competition.

"We can begin now." The formation spirit said again, reminding everyone that they could start.

Before Mu Changsheng took action, he clasped his fists and said, "Miss Ji, I'm sorry."

"Brother Mu, you don't have to be polite and hold back." Ji Changying clasped her fists in return. She also knew the difference in strength between the two of them.

Then, Ji Changying held a simple red cherry pistol in his hand, and the red cherry pistol flew out of his hand and stabbed towards Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng's face was solemn. He believed that the best way to respect his opponent was to defeat him with all his strength. He used a virtual god talisman to cross the peak of tribulation and directly summoned five thunder gods.

The five thunder gods first repelled Ji Changying's spear, and then surrounded Ji Changying and launched an all-round siege.

After Ji Changying managed to hold on for a while, he finally ran out of strength and was defeated.

After Mu Changsheng won easily, he turned to look at the battle circle of You Huanyu, Cui Li and You Liancheng.

Just as the formation spirit Xian Nian said, actual combat is different from fighting against spirit puppets. Mu Changsheng can also understand the opponent's fighting habits by observing the fight between the three people. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

But unfortunately, You Huanyu and the other two were much stronger than their opponents. Like Mu Changsheng, the battle ended quickly and they were unable to observe much.

Soon, the ten competitions came to an end one after another. Under the arrangement of the formation spirit, Mu Changsheng faced his second opponent, You Qianmo, who was ranked fifth in the previous round.

Mu Changsheng did not dare to be careless about this. According to his habit, he clasped his fists and said before the competition: "Brother You, please."

"Haha, please." You Qianmo replied with a smile on his face, but he was not as happy as he seemed. Instead, he was gnashing with hatred: "If you sect disciples hadn't gotten involved, I would definitely have been in the top three this time."

"However, I still have a trump card, so it's still uncertain who will win or lose." You Qianmo thought secretly.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng was alert and did not dare to be careless. The opponent was able to rank fifth in the previous round, so his strength would not be much different. If he capsized in the ditch, it would be a big joke.

As the competition officially began, Mu Changsheng took the first step. He used the same old trick again and summoned five thunder gods with the virtual god talisman of the peak tribulation level, and made a tentative attack on You Qianmo.

Seeing this, You Qianmo waved his hand and four huge armored beasts guarded him. He was practicing the less popular art of insect taming.

The insects in the insect taming can also be regarded as demon beasts, but these are beasts that have long been tamed by humans. These demon beasts have been raised by insect tamers since childhood, and both sides have sworn corresponding oaths to the inner demons. They trust each other 100%, so there is no need to worry about the demon beasts rebelling.

At this time, the four armored beasts summoned by You Qianmo had all reached the Tribulation Realm, and were extremely good at defense. They could defend themselves flawlessly even when facing the siege of the five Thunder Gods.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng knew that he could not defeat the opponent with the Xushen Talisman alone, so he began to approach You Qianmo, intending to trap the opponent in the Zhushen Formation first, and then use the Xingyue Talisman to deal with You Qianmo.

When You Qianmo saw Mu Changsheng running towards him, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

While You Qianmo was commanding four armored beasts to feign an attack on the five thunder gods around them, he secretly released a small white-armored insect.

The white-armored bug easily flew out of the encirclement of the five Thunder Gods, and the five Thunder Gods seemed not to see it at all.

This is exactly You Qianmo's trump card. The white-armored bug can block the detection of spiritual consciousness, and Mu Changsheng did not discover it from beginning to end.

Soon, Mu Changsheng came into close combat with the white-armored insect without knowing it. The white-armored insect drilled into Mu Changsheng's body through his nostrils.

In this case, it would be difficult for Mu Changsheng not to notice the white-armored bug, because the white-armored bug was frantically gnawing at his body!

At this moment, Mu Changsheng's strong body seemed vulnerable in front of the white-armored insect, and could not stop the white-armored insect from eating his body.

Moreover, while the white-armored insect was eating Mu Changsheng, it also continued to split into new white-armored insects, making the opponent's eating efficiency higher and higher.

"This is a soul-eating insect." Mu Changsheng was shocked and recognized the true identity of the white-armored insect.

This kind of insect is extremely special. It is said that it can devour all living things, and then continue to split into huge numbers to double the number of living things it devours.

To the soul-eating insect, Mu Changsheng's body is no different from a spiritual object, and is even more "delicious".

While Mu Changsheng was shocked, he was also quickly thinking of a countermeasure. If he mobilized the divine power in his body to deal with the soul-eating insects, it would be no different from delivering food, and it would only make the soul-eating insect group grow stronger.

"I can't use divine power, but I still have the power of thunder." Mu Changsheng's eyes lit up and he thought of a countermeasure.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng immediately mobilized the power of the five Thunder God Dao Fruits in his body, filled his body with five thunders, and launched the attack!

As the power of thunder traveled around his body, most of the soul-eating insects were killed instantly, but only the original one remained intact, still devouring Mu Changsheng's flesh and blood, and splitting again.

"Oh no, this Soul-Eating Insect has been carefully refined." Mu Changsheng realized the crisis. If he allowed the Soul-Eating Insect to continue devouring him, he would collapse without a fight.

However, Mu Changsheng quickly thought of a new way to deal with it: "Thunder God Dao Fruit, explode!"

The reason why he failed to kill the soul-eating insect just now was because his thunder power was not strong enough. Now, Mu Changsheng infused his body with the power of the self-destructive Thunder God Fruit, and all the soul-eating insects died, without a single one surviving!
