Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 612 - 279. Western Regions’ High Monks, Our Central Plains is the Land of Etiquette (Chapter Combined into One)_3
As if defying the concept of distance, the light reappeared directly in front of Tian Linlong.
The Shadow Worm, seemingly insubstantial, was instantly obliterated by the sword light.
The attack came too swiftly. Just as Tian Linlong began to sense an extraordinarily powerful force surging in the distance, his body was already violently shaking!
BOOM!
In the midst of thunder and fire, Tian Linlong’s fragile flesh was instantly blasted to pieces.
However, as his battered body dissipated and flesh flew about, it seemed as if a cascade of brilliant purple and bright red spread out from within him.
An uncountable number of Worms scattered in all directions.
But the thunderfire was fierce, and the heatwave incinerated the surrounding air, immediately burning and destroying a large number of the Worms.
The ground where he stood shattered and split, leaving nothing but scorched earth.
Although the Mysterious Gold Sword Pill’s penetrating and destructive power was not as formidable as the Magical Treasure Seven-Star Sword, Lei Jun, on this occasion, also chose not to imbue it with the power from the Dark Side of the Celestial Book.
Therefore, Yuan Magnetism and thunderfire spread out together, sweeping across the area.
The numerous Worms that flew out from Tian Linlong’s shattered body were also burned to ash.
However, the Guard Worms he had originally stationed at a distance for alerts, being far away, fortunately escaped the calamity.
These Guard Worms immediately dispersed, scattering in disarray as if they had lost their master’s control.
Deep within Lei Jun’s pupils, the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript flickered. Simultaneously, the Mysterious Void Mirror, hovering above his head, materialized a bright beam of light, pointing towards a fleeing Guard Worm in the distance.
The Same Life Worm... he mused, nodding slightly. His figure flashed, and the Heavenly Travel Talisman’s Shadow Movement Variation shifted to its Yang Movement Variation. He sprinted at full speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was right behind the fleeing Guard Worm.
Lei Jun was crystal clear about the strengths and weaknesses of his own Yuan Magnetic "Sword Control Technique."
Rather than true sword control, it was more akin to a "cannon." Once fired, precise adjustments were difficult, but it possessed extraordinary range and attack power.
If it missed, that was that. But if it hit, most cultivators of the same realm could not withstand even a single strike.
However, aside from the enormous Mana consumption, its rate of fire was not exceptional, and its area of coverage was limited.
Therefore, while suitable for decisive, single-target assaults, when facing a Worm Master like Tian Linlong, it could inadvertently leave him a sliver of a chance to survive. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
One of Tian Linlong’s life-bound Worms, named the Same Life Worm, had the primary function of dispersing his other Worms, thereby creating multiple escape routes for him.
He was a Great Worm Master of the Upper Three Heavens level. He constantly enhanced his life-bound Worm, and his self-healing and survival capabilities were far superior to Middle Three Heavens Cultivators like his disciple Zhao Sen.
However, Lei Jun’s earlier blast had annihilated most of his Worms, leaving Elder Tian almost unable to catch his breath.
But Lei Jun was well-prepared and had immediately focused on the crucial target.
Some Worms gathered and scattered in mid-air, then startlingly condensed to reveal Tian Linlong’s Spiritual Soul.
Realizing Lei Jun had already caught up to him, Tian Linlong’s Spiritual Soul fluctuated as he prepared for a desperate last stand.
His Spiritual Soul changed color; the brilliant purple and bright red reappeared, even beginning to taint the surrounding objects.
The nearby mountains, rivers, and vegetation were all dyed in vibrant colors, and this corruption continued to expand outward, intending to envelop Lei Jun.
This was the Innate Divine Ability Worm of Tian Linlong, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Great Worm Master.
It was known as the Clarity and Turbidity Worm.
The myriad colors, seemingly unrelated to clarity and turbidity, actually belonged to one of the most infamous poisonous Worms from the Yintuo Mountain lineage.
Clarity and Turbidity signified a state of mutual transformation.
All poisons in the world could be converted from turbidity to clarity, becoming part of Tian Linlong’s Worm Arts Divine Skills and increasing his Mana.
But once the Clarity and Turbidity Worm was released, it transformed clarity into turbidity. It could turn the landscape, vegetation, and everything in the world—living or not—into utterly poisonous substances, spreading without cessation.
This was the so-called unending poison that left miles of desolation in its wake.
Tian Linlong was severely injured. Most of his Worms had been destroyed, and his Spiritual Soul was extremely weakened. Using the Clarity and Turbidity Worm now might even risk a backlash.
But by unleashing the Clarity and Turbidity Worm, while relieving some of the pressure on himself, he also contaminated the surrounding world with minimal expenditure, hoping to generate as much poisonous power as quickly as possible to counterattack and obstruct Lei Jun.
Back when Lei Jun first arrived in this world, in that mountain range, besides Xu Yuanzhen, there had also been practitioners of Worm Arts from the Southern Wilderness.
At the time, those two Worm Masters, descendants of Tian Linlong’s lineage, were being pursued by Great Tang Cultivators for annihilating a village with poisonous Worms.
If the Celestial Master Seal had not purified the poison in Lei Jun’s body back then, and if he had encountered those Southern Wilderness Worm Masters, his fate would have been entirely different.
Now, faced with the vast tide of poisonous Worms unleashed by Tian Linlong, Lei Jun remained unfazed.
Mysterious Thunder silently permeated the surroundings.
The monotone black instantly enveloped the brilliant purple and bright red.
The poison from Tian Linlong’s Clarity and Turbidity Worm was immensely potent, capable of corrupting all things. If it were the Thunder Methods of Middle Three Heavens or Lower Three Heavens disciples from the Celestial Master Mansion, even their lightning might have been contaminated by the Clarity and Turbidity Worm.
However, in the face of Lei Jun’s Mysterious Thunder, the poison was instantly purified, disappearing without a trace.
Tian Linlong was shocked and furious, but his heart was now filled more with terror than any other emotion.
Tian Linlong had naturally kept tabs on Lei Jun, the one who killed his disciple Zhao Sen, despite maintaining a low profile over the years. How could he not?
Just hearing that Lin Chi from Jiangzhou and Qi Shuo from the Yellow Sky Sect had both fallen to this young Taoist, Tian Linlong knew the man was not to be trifled with.
But now, encountering him face to face, he found that this person was far more formidable than the rumors suggested.
And much more sinister! This Taoist’s attitude and methods are more ruthless and venomous than even those from the Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect!
Indignation at being judged by this young man from a supposed moral high ground surged within Elder Tian.
But none of this helped him. At this moment, Tian Linlong had completely abandoned any thought of clashing with Lei Jun. He only hoped to escape with his life by relying on the bizarre and unpredictable methods of the Witchcraft Worms.
...Expose him. I must expose him! If I can just survive today, I will reveal Lei Jun’s true face to the entire world!
Tian Linlong’s Spiritual Soul disintegrated once more, transforming into countless Worms, each desperately fleeing for its life.
