Chapter 5778: Monster’s Growth

He could only think of one formidable opponent targeting him, and that was Emperor Babidi.

If Babidi knew about his true self, he wouldn’t let him off easily.

But then he thought, if that were the case, Babidi would surely try to control his clone.

His clone had always been by Babidi’s side.

“Who is it?” Jian Wushuang furrowed his brow.

Perhaps it wasn’t him?

But Jinchen was even less likely.

Moreover, Jinchen should still be in the Daughter Kingdom.

Who could be targeting him?

Or perhaps targeting Jinchen.

“Could it be because of the royal family?” Jian Wushuang puzzled over it endlessly!

After hastily replying, he also fell into a tense state.

Waiting quietly for the investigation by the royal family’s experts.

Being able to conceal his own whereabouts, kill so many cultivators without anyone noticing, and destroy the mansion.

Jian Wushuang suddenly widened his eyes.

He thought of that beetle.

That thing, it was alive.

And it was inside the mansion.

Could it be magic from it?

If that were true, then he was in big trouble this time.

He had always felt that the bug was not simple.

It could continuously evolve.

And as long as there was the power of blood, it seemed there were no bottlenecks, it could keep mutating.

If that were the case, then it all made sense.

The majority of those killed cultivators had no relationship with the royal family. They were just insignificant individuals.

Thinking this, Jian Wushuang felt some regret. If only he had known, he would have eradicated that thing earlier.

At the same time, he thought of the pink meatball underground in Fallen Phoenix Valley.

Once the sword blanks were refined, he planned to return to Fallen Phoenix Valley and destroy that pink mass.

The pink mass resembled the beetle. Both absorbed power and continuously grew stronger. It was likely the work of one person. What a calamity!

As for the beetle, it was probably evolved to the Tribulation Realm by now, which was not his concern anymore.

Thankfully, it wasn’t targeting him specifically.

If it ran away, so be it.

Even if it became a Tribulation Realm, it wouldn’t be invincible.

The more people he killed, the more likely he would be hunted down and killed by super strong individuals.

He didn’t need to worry about it.

However, the pink mass had not yet fully grown. Although trapped underground, who knew if it might escape or if it would be better to destroy it.

But he didn’t know the horror of that bug. It had no bottleneck, an infinite growth potential.

Yue Kingdom.

Miyue Villa.

A bloody sweep!

The once prosperous villa, once boasting thousands of emperors and countless immortals, now lay in ruins.

Several Tribulation Realm powerhouses used to reside here. It was a paradise for cultivators.

But now…

Scattered corpses and lingering bloodstains.

The master of the villa was pinned to a wall.

Looking along the wall, corpses littered the ground.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

A humanoid monster casually trampled the shattered bones on the ground. Its tail raised, with a sharp bone spike at the end.

The bone spurs were embedded in a corpse, their crimson energy seeping into the monster’s body.

Excitedly, the monster spread its hands, its eye sockets narrowing as its power surged.

Its strength now rivaled that of a Fourth Tribulation cultivator.

Absorbing several third tribulation realm experts in the area had smoothly propelled it to the Fourth Tribulation realm.

Though not human, it possessed a profound intelligence beyond that of humans.

Its wise eyes spun rapidly.

Most of the Tribulation Realm experts it absorbed were lone cultivators, without any backing. Their deaths went unnoticed and unattended.

“Gurgle!” A strange sound emanated from the monster’s mouth as it abruptly turned its head upwards.

Then, with an extremely restrained aura, identical to Jian Wushuang’s, its figure vanished in a flicker towards the Mieyue Mountain Villa.

The moment the monster disappeared, a crack appeared in the sky above the area.

A woman wearing a tall crown and a golden robe emerged from the crack.

She!

Exceedingly noble.

Peerlessly cold.

Every move she made was enough to send shivers down the spine of cultivators.

The Empress of Yue Kingdom.

The universe master of the fifth tribulation realm.

She came here, only glancing briefly at the tragic scene below, her expression slightly moved. It wasn’t out of pity for those lone cultivators.

It was out of concern.

Ever since her daughter’s mansion was destroyed, within three days, inexplicably, a hundred Tribulation Realm experts had fallen in the entire Yue Kingdom.

The number of Emperors was countless.

Half of these hundred tribulation realm experts were First Tribulation realm, followed by Second Tribulation cultivators.

This area was of the Third Tribulation realm.

At this rate, wouldn’t it be threatening fourth tribulation realm cultivators in no time?

Some people weren’t worried.

But as the Empress of Yue Kingdom, Fengchen, felt uneasy.

However, every time she sensed that evil aura, just as she rushed over, it vanished without a trace.

At such a speed, she managed to escape her Thought power grasp.

Either she possessed unparalleled speed or exceptional strength.

In either case, why should she fear her?

There was a high probability that she possessed some sort of secret technique to conceal herself.

This time, the Empress was certain of her thoughts.

Just as she descended, she waved her hands, and countless red sleeves flew out from behind her, striking down on the Miyue Manor below.

In an instant, everything within billions of miles around was reduced to rubble.

After another Thought power search yielded nothing, Fengchen gave up.

She tore through the space with his hand and left the place.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the earth’s crust, the humanoid monster curled into a ball.

Feeling the terrifying aura of the Empress departing, it opened its eyes once more.

Then, with lightning speed, it left the area.

And then it went in search of its next target.

Although it had no bottlenecks, during its weaker moments, it needed to evade those stronger than itself.

In the first few days, it could act recklessly, but now that it had attracted attention, it needed to be cautious.

It was time to change locations.

Yue Kingdom!

It remembered.

When its strength was sufficient, it would engulf the entire Yue Kingdom.

Above the Ancient Moon Spacetime, on a tiny planet.

The time and space here were completely separate from the Ancient Moon Spacetime.

It was like an independent spacetime.

There was only this one planet.

Whoosh!

This planet had a diameter of only a dozen miles, extremely small.

And its layout was very simple.

Above the planet, there was a peculiar house.

Outside the house, there were grasslands and a few narrow paths.

Invisible sunlight poured down.

The place was extremely warm.

On the grassland, a monkey frolicked freely.

And the sound of breathing came from a chubby figure with blue skin.

He had blue skin all over, wore a black robe, and had two tentacles on his forehead.

The chubby figure, snoring loudly, was completely unremarkable, with hardly any aura about him.

But his identity was not simple.

Few people knew about him.

Every nap he took was measured in epochs.

Extremely low-key.

But at this moment, a force was calling him!

“Hmm?” The chubby blue figure rubbed his nose and woke up from his slumber.

The force pulling him made him unconsciously look down at the Ancient Moon Spacetime below.

“The Wu Hua Secret Realm!”

The source of the power.
