Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 867: Ancestor of Gold-devouring Beetle
Buzz!
A flash of silver light passed.
Gu Anran darted past the God Horned Ant, grabbed the sword, and once again activated the Teleportation Boots, pursuing the Red Cloud Python.
She had sworn earlier to cut these three great demons with her sword, so none could escape.
"Gu Anran is truly terrifying..."
The Red Cloud Python looked back and saw the God Horned Ant had already fallen, instantly causing it to lose its soul in terror.
Gu Anran, with her sword in hand, radiated boundless killing intent, transforming into a mass of silver light that rapidly pursued.
"Scatter!"
The Red Cloud Python roared angrily, immediately transforming into countless illusions, fleeing in all directions.
Among these illusions, three were its true form.
It had three heads, each of which could become a clone.
So, as long as one of these three illusions could escape, it could manage to escape alive.
The Red Cloud Python thought it had a good plan...
But it didn’t expect Gu Anran’s speed to be just too fast.
A silver light instantaneously appeared near it.
Boom!
Endless sword lights exploded in the void.
The dots of sword light pounced on each illusion.
Puff puff...
One by one, the illusions shattered and disappeared under the onslaught of sword light.
"A wily rabbit has three burrows, but that’s all!"
With a cold little face, Gu Anran discovered that three of the illusions struck by sword light weren’t disappearing, and immediately let out a cold laugh.
A buzzing sound, and she vanished again.
"Gu Anran, must you relentlessly pursue me?"
A clone turned around and the Red Cloud Python roared, spraying countless blood swords from its mouth.
"The three of you must die!"
Gu Anran, filled with killing intent, raised the Mirror of Chaos, reflecting all the blood swords back.
She waved her sword.
This sharp sword light, with an aura like a rainbow, fell on the Red Cloud Python’s clone.
Tssch!
The clone was split in two.
A primordial spirit flew out with a whistling sound, fleeing into the distance.
The sword light flashed again, and this primordial spirit was also shattered, dissipating as wisps of green smoke.
Gu Anran repeated her old trick and continuously killed the other two clones of the Red Cloud Python.
At this point, the Red Cloud Python, which had always been arrogant and domineering, was finally completely slain by Gu Anran.
"Now only the Gold-devouring Beetle is left..."
Gu Anran took a deep breath, turned, and pursued in a certain direction.
The Gold-devouring Beetle excelled at high-speed divine skills and had long fled far away.
However.
In the state of five-fold combat power, Gu Anran was confident she could catch up to it.
It would just take a little more time.
"Senior Brother, please wait for me here for a moment..."
Passing by Ye Yun, Gu Anran specially instructed.
"Alright!"
Ye Yun smiled gently, gazing at a certain spot in the void, a peculiar look in his eyes.
For some reason.
Ye Yun had an incredible intuition.
The Gold-devouring Beetle must have some connection with the Gold-eating Spirit Beetle.
It’s just that the Gold-devouring Beetle doesn’t know about it.
Therefore.
Ye Yun thought it necessary to investigate the Gold-devouring Beetle’s lair.
Perhaps he could find some clues.
...
A streak of golden light swiftly cut through the depths of the void, unimaginable in speed.
And behind.
A streak of silver light pursued faster.
"Gold-devouring Beetle!"
Gu Anran, watching the fleeing Gold-devouring Beetle, sneered, "Your Nine Turn Tyrannical Blood Pill’s effect won’t last much longer, while mine lasts longer. Let’s see where you run then!"
Gold and silver, engaging in a chase.
The Gold-devouring Beetle was desperately fleeing, its soul almost flying out of its body in fright now.
Now that the God Horned Ant and the Red Cloud Python were both dead.
Only it was left.
If it couldn’t reach the clan’s dwelling in time, it would surely perish outside.
As time passed.
The time of two hours was about to be up.
And the Gold-devouring Beetle was still far from the ancestral home where its family lived and practiced—the Gold Wheel Mountain Range.
At this speed, it would take at least another two hours of flying.
Tssch!
A flash of sword light.
A fearless burst of sword light broke through the void, slashing from afar.
This sword light was snow bright throughout, immensely large, at least several thousand feet in size, making an imposing presence.
"Damn it, I’ll fight you!"
The Gold-devouring Beetle roared, flapping its wings and throwing all its treasures.
Various colorful treasures flew to meet that massive sword light.
Rumble, rumble...
The immense sword light contained unimaginable power, unstoppable, shattering those treasures instantly.
After gaining a brief respite, the Gold-devouring Beetle continued its frantic escape without delay.
Yet, before long, its body suddenly halted, its speed slowing instantly.
The effect of the Nine Turn Tyrannical Blood Pill had completely disappeared at that moment.
"Damn, my end is here!"
A gigantic sense of terror surged in the heart of the Gold-devouring Beetle.
Even after consuming the Nine Turn Tyrannical Blood Pill, it wasn’t a match for Gu Anran. Now, with the effect gone, its combat power had dropped by more than half.
In this state, how could it possibly be a match for Gu Anran?
"Gold-devouring Beetle, today, I will take your life!"
Gu Anran arrived, breaking through the void.
Without hesitation, she struck with her sword.
A massive sword light instantly locked onto the Gold-devouring Beetle.
The terrified Gold-devouring Beetle watched helplessly as the sword light drew closer.
In utter desperation, it retracted its wings, transforming into a golden disc shape, crashing toward the sword light.
This was its strongest defensive state.
"Alas, even the God Horned Ant was cut down by Gu Anran. My defenses are even weaker than the God Horned Ant’s. It’s probably unavoidable now too..."
The Gold-devouring Beetle sighed internally.
Boom!
The void shook violently as the sword light struck the golden carapace, causing a resounding blast.
Under the five-fold combat power, Gu Anran’s sword deeply embedded itself into the Gold-devouring Beetle’s body.
The Gold-devouring Beetle’s defense was naturally far stronger than the Red Cloud Python’s.
So, this sword didn’t take its old life directly.
Bam!
Just as Gu Anran was about to pull out her sword, a surging force erupted suddenly from the Gold-devouring Beetle’s body.
Her sword was sent flying.
"Insolence! How dare you kill the most talented descendants of my Clan of Gold Devouring Beetle!"
An elderly man’s voice echoed through the void.
"What’s this?"
Reaching for her sword, Gu Anran’s pupils shrank as she frowned, looking at the Gold-devouring Beetle.
From the Gold-devouring Beetle’s wound, a burst of golden light suddenly surged.
Within the bright glow appeared a golden beetle, only several dozen feet in size.
This golden beetle resembled the Gold-devouring Beetle but had many differences.
"This is... the ancestor!"
Hearing this voice, the Gold-devouring Beetle was both surprised and delighted, immediately recognizing it.
The virtual shadow within the golden light was indeed the ancestor of the Clan of Gold Devouring Beetle.
The Ancestor of Gold-metalling Worm gazed at the silver-armored girl and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
With a snap of her sword, Gu Anran mocked, "And you, hiding sneakily within the Gold-devouring Beetle’s body, where do you come from?"
The Ancestor of Gold-metalling Worm’s eyes were filled with killing intent, his expression icy, and he declared haughtily, "I am the first generation ancestor of the Clan of Gold Devouring Beetle—Jin Gui is the most outstanding exceptional genius of our clan, destined to seek the truth as a True God, so I left a Divine Consciousness Imprint within its body!"
After listening to this.
Gu Anran suddenly shivered, her gaze turning calm and ethereal.
"Such a mere Divine Consciousness Imprint dares to be impudent before me?"
Gu Anran spoke coldly.
The sword light flashed.
The entire space-time seemed to freeze.
The Ancestor of Gold-metalling Worm’s eyes widened suddenly, watching helplessly as the sword light landed on him.
