Luo Xiu could not help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the spatial door that was blocked by the huge worm's nest. The situation before his eyes made him understand that with these things in front of him blocking him, he could only rely on forcefully attacking this path if he wanted to leave this place. Other than this, he had no other way at all. When he thought of his previous plans, Luo Xiu felt like crying at this very moment because he suddenly felt extremely helpless. He had calculated everything, but the only thing he did not calculate was that he would be defeated so thoroughly. In almost an instant, he had completely destroyed his great advantage.
This gigantic insect nest that was like a mountain was like a heavenly mountain that blocked his hopes. Luo Xiu was extremely shocked when he sensed the energy fluctuations in this space. If it was only earth-type spiritual energy, Luo Xiu would definitely not be shocked. Instead, it was because there were traces of water-type spiritual energy in the vitality of this area.
This discovery made Luo Xiu inexplicably distressed. He also realized that this place would become the nest of these insects. Not only did it block the space door to the new world, but it also directly blocked his hope of leaving this place.
Luo Xiu was unwilling to give up. After carefully observing the surroundings for a while, he finally gave up on the idea of taking advantage of the situation. At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to safely leave this damned world. However, there was no other way. The huge insect nest blocked his path forward, causing Luo Xiu to be unable to sneak past this place quietly. Luo Xiu was so angry that he couldn't speak. The position of the insect nest was too coincidental. It directly blocked the entrance to the next level of space. It simply made Luo Xiu have the urge to vomit blood. Looking at the insects all over the ground, Luo Xiu couldn't help but sigh. He knew that he could only forcefully break the huge insect nest here. However, when he thought of the terrifying gravity that made his teeth ache, Luo Xiu shrank back a little at this moment.
This was because when he first saw this giant insect nest, Luo Xiu tried to approach it. However, what made him feel helpless was that even though he had already gotten rid of his dependence on the power of rules, the terrifying gravity around the insect nest still made Luo Xiu feel a frequent warning in his mind. Not to mention the huge confinement force here, just the terrifying gravity alone pressed Luo Xiu to the ground. Even his internal organs felt a tingling pain. Luo Xiu simply couldn't imagine what such a terrifying situation meant. If this really happened, what kind of tragic end would he have at this moment?
There was no other way.
He also didn't expect to see this scene before him. The huge insect nest almost perfectly concealed all the spatial fluctuations in the entire area. If Luo Xiu hadn't relied on the law of space to advance to the Saint realm, he wouldn't have been able to sense the slightest trace of spatial fluctuations. Therefore, Luo Xiu had reason to suspect that the insect nest was here.
It was obvious that it existed as a gatekeeper boss.
Luo Xiu even suspected that all the insects in the Earth Spirit World and the location of the insect nest were probably the work of the person who set up the formation. Although he couldn't provide accurate evidence, Luo Xiu had this intuition in his heart. His intuition told him that his conjecture wasn't far from the truth.
The impact of the huge insect nest was so great that Luo Xiu felt that he had done a lot of useless work. Compared to the previous situation, he truly felt the seriousness of the problem. Facing the scene before him, he was somewhat helpless. No matter what he thought before, the current situation made him understand that he didn't have much confidence in escaping unscathed. At the same time, this discovery also made him understand that not only was he unable to leave this world quickly, he didn't even dare to destroy the huge insect tide in front of him.
At the thought of his current situation, Luo Xiu almost vomited blood. At this moment, he was certain that he had fallen into someone's trap step by step. If it was before, Luo Xiu didn't have such an intuitive feeling, but after experiencing the torment of this world, even if Luo Xiu was a Saint expert, he still felt powerless.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also realized that although the strength of a Saint seemed incomparably powerful, and because he had advanced to the Saint realm because of the two Supreme Laws, he had more means to deal with the enemy than ordinary experts. However, the current situation made him feel incomparably thorny. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't have any means at all. Before he could determine what kind of danger was inside the heavy palm, Luo Xiu didn't dare to act rashly. More importantly, he was uncertain about his own strength. Being in this world made him deeply aware of his own weakness. If it was just a feeling in his heart before, then at this moment, Luo Xiu truly experienced the unknown danger.
Sighing helplessly, Luo Xiu carefully circled around the core area. Then, to his distress, he found that he couldn't get close to the giant insect nest. He didn't gain much at all. Not only that, as time passed, Luo Xiu could clearly feel that the vitality in the surroundings was becoming more and more violent. This situation made Luo Xiu realize that he couldn't hesitate any longer. If the situation developed in an unpredictable direction because of his hesitation, it would be really troublesome.
Even though Luo Xiu's strength was strong enough at this moment, he knew that it was impossible for him to kill his way out in the face of this towering insect nest and the terrifying insect army. No matter how confident he was in his own strength, he didn't think that he could successfully kill his way out in such a terrifying situation. Just the thought of being surrounded by countless tall insect people and countless insects made Luo Xiu's hair stand on end.
The danger here far exceeded his imagination. At this moment, not only did Luo Xiu not have the slightest bit of joy from leaving this world, but it also made him feel as if he had completely tricked himself. Compared to the previous situation, he was almost certain that the endless berserk energy that filled the interior of the giant insect nest was definitely at the level of destroying the world. Luo Xiu even suspected that if he detonated the bomb, he would definitely be the one to die.
At the same time, after careful observation for a long time, Luo Xiu still couldn't come up with a solution. He could only look for other methods. Even the crazy idea of directly destroying this world from before had resurfaced in the depths of his mind. Luo Xiu's face twitched as he held the Sky-killing Sword in his hand. He was hesitating, hesitating, and in a dilemma. He was contemplating whether or not he should really risk his life and see if he could break the seal here.
However, even though he knew that this was the same situation, Luo Xiu knew better than anyone else that he might not succeed. This was because of the ingenious location of this insect nest and the terrifying number of insects inside. The extremely terrifying energy fluctuations emitted from the insect nest weren't something that Luo Xiu's small body could withstand. If his attack triggered a dense energy explosion in that area, the resulting power was definitely not something that his small body could withstand. At that time, who knew what kind of terrible things would happen?
His Spiritual Strength was unwilling to give up as it once again swept over the entire area. The scene that he saw still caused the current Luo Xiu to not have the slightest bit of temper. Even the remaining fantasy in his heart earlier had completely vanished at this moment. He was clearer than anyone else about what the scene in front of him meant.
Not to mention whether he had the opportunity to do so, just the thought of approaching this insect nest made Luo Xiu feel that it was almost impossible. This was because the gravity field in this area was a hundred times or even a thousand times more tyrannical than the previous joint attack of the insects against him. Even the gravitational field between heaven and earth made him feel like a space-time array at first glance. This huge insect nest seemed ordinary and mediocre, but in fact, it was a huge insect nest that had abandoned all defenses. It was like a barrel of explosives that could explode at the slightest touch.
Luo Xiu's thoughts were somewhat jumpy. He was truly at his wit's end. Whether it was breaking the seal here or something else, he would need to take risks. This was precisely what Luo Xiu was unwilling to do. Once he broke the Earth Spirit World, who knew if the Devouring Heaven Emperor would be released? If that guy really had some kind of plot against him, he might end up in a tragedy. This was not something that Luo Xiu was scaring himself, but something that could very well happen.
"System, what should I do with such a huge insect nest?
I can't just recklessly detonate this insect nest. Let's not talk about whether or not I can destroy it. Just the thought of what I'll face after destroying this insect nest is enough to make me panic. The inside of this huge insect nest gives me an extremely dangerous feeling. It's as if if I destroy this huge insect nest, I might really attract a calamity! "
After studying for a long time, Luo Xiu still had no results. He could only ask for help. At the same time, the System in his mind explained its findings one by one. Although the System did not need his reminder to know that this place was strange, Luo Xiu still felt the need to remind it.
The density of the energy inside the insect nest is beyond what the System can handle. Even if the System were to convert it bit by bit, it would take at least eight to ten years for the System to absorb all of this energy. Therefore, the only way is to leave this world. Once this huge insect nest is destroyed, there will definitely be a terrifying explosion. Once that happens, the entire Eight Gates Immortal Lock Formation will probably go off in a chain of explosions. That level of explosion is definitely not something you and I can handle with our current strength, so we have to think about it carefully!
No, I think you're a little too anxious. Since there's no way out here, you should just stay in this world. Although the environment here isn't friendly to you, have you thought about it? There's no threat to your life here, so you can choose to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. If you can take the opportunity to comprehend the innate Five Elements, that would be a perfect ending. In that case, you can cultivate and avoid danger at the same time. If something unexpected happens, it'll be better than you charging in recklessly. Who knows what kind of uncertainties will appear? Once this insect nest explodes, it will definitely trigger a chain reaction. I don't need to explain the reason, Host, you should be well aware of it! "
The system helplessly explained as it glanced at the gigantic insect hive in front of it.
Hearing the System's explanation, Luo Xiu felt a little helpless. The System's answer was within his expectations. Luo Xiu understood that he had no choice. After all, he didn't have any good ideas, and the System didn't have any good ideas either. Most importantly, this giant insect nest didn't just give him the threat of death, it also gave him an urgent desire to obtain it.
It should be known that this giant insect nest was completely made of earth attribute spirit power crystals. It could almost be regarded as a huge spirit stone mine, just like a spirit stone mine exposed to the world. Moreover, it was an exposed top-grade spirit stone mine. Luo Xiu didn't know how rich the earth attribute spirit power was in this world, but Luo Xiu knew that every piece of this giant insect nest was a top-grade spirit stone of a single attribute. It was extremely attractive to any immortal cultivator. Therefore, Luo Xiu was certain that if he could really take this entire nest, he might even have an unexpected harvest.
Of course, this giant insect nest couldn't be moved away due to some special reasons. This was also one of the reasons why Luo Xiu was so conflicted. If this insect nest could be moved away so easily, Luo Xiu would have already stored it in his Inner World. Even with such restrictions, Luo Xiu was still certain that he had encountered a crisis and an opportunity.
At this moment, Luo Xiu's heart was filled with uneasiness. All kinds of complicated emotions lingered in his heart. He couldn't describe what he was feeling right now. The only thing he was certain of was that he didn't expect this giant insect nest to be so conflicted. This wasn't good news for Luo Xiu.
Looking at this giant insect nest, Luo Xiu's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Compared to before, he was now certain that he had made the right choice not to rashly destroy this giant insect nest.
