The Worms of the Void had devoured many demons in the past, but they never evolved. They only split.
At the Mountain of Clouds, the Worms of the Void had evolved twice after consuming the flesh of two kinds of demons?
Lu Li was overjoyed. The Worms of the Void were not part of his abilities and they belonged to the "deviant path". That being said, there were not so many rules in the world. As long as the Worms of the Void could kill enemies and the Worms of the Void were not too wicked or cruel, others would not say anything.
For example, if someone used poison, a powerful poison skill could kill millions in an instant.
If the poison could be used to the acme of perfection, such as the Green Valley Mountain Man, he would be regarded as a powerful warrior.
Of course, if the Green Valley Mountain Man used poison to kill innocent creatures or slaughtered innocent people in an entire city, then both humans and gods would be outraged.
Similarly, when Lu Li's Worms of the Void killed demons in the Divinity, people would applaud.
However, if he devoured innocent civilians and allowed the Worms of the Void to multiply, then the Worms of the Void would be regarded as deviant.
"Come here!"
Lu Li asked the mother to summon all the Worms of the Void on the second floor of the Tower of Monsters. He wanted to see how many had evolved.
As soon as the mother gave the order, countless Worms of the Void swarmed over. Fortunately, Lu Li had given the order so the Worms of the Void did not attack Patriarch Chen.
Lu Li took out the mountain and let out the average Worms of the Void. Then, he put away the golden one.
The mountain was spacious but not enough to accommodate so many Worms of the Void.
There were over one hundred billion golden Worms of the Void. It was pointless to keep the regular ones.
"Eh …"
When all the Worms of the Void came back, there were more than 150 billion. What surprised Lu Li was — there was only one dark golden Worm of the Void.
So many Worms of the Void had split and only one had evolved.
"Patriarch Chen, please destroy those worms!"
Lu Li pointed to the dense group of regular Worms of the Void to his left and told the mother to materialize.
Patriarch Chen could tell that the two types of Worms of the Void were different. He did not ask any questions. He took out a black stove and raised it. A stream of cyan flame flew out and the Worms of the Void were incinerated.
"Whoosh!"
After Elder Chen killed all the void worms, he flew into the distance and came back after an hour. He curled his lips and said: "These worms of yours are really powerful. All the dream demon beasts were eaten by them!
Even that Dream Demon King was killed. "
"Ugh!"
Lu Li was slightly startled. He thought of that dark gold Void Worm. It was very likely that it had devoured Dream Demon King's blood essence to evolve.
A single Dream Demon King's blood essence could only allow a single Void Worm to evolve. How difficult would it be for this dark gold Void Worm to split apart?
"Elder Chen, please take me to the small world where the Dream Demon Beast is!"
Lu Li clasped his fists and said, "I want this dark golden Worm of Void to divide. If it can be divided into tens of billions, my abilities will be greatly enhanced!"
"A huge improvement?"
Elder Chen furrowed his sparse brows and asked, "Can that dark golden bug kill a Three Tribulation Deity?"
Lu Li's comprehensive abilities were at the peak of the Second Tribulation. Any further improvement and he would be comparable to a Three Tribulation Deity. That was why Patriarch Chen asked.
Lu Li thought about it and said, "It is possible. At least, it will cause some trouble for the Three Tribulation Deity."
"Okay!"
Patriarch Chen seemed to know about Fairy Tian Yun. He knew that she was going to let Lu Li participate in the contest of geniuses. Therefore, Patriarch Chen was happy to help Lu Li if he could improve his abilities.
What was more, Lu Li could have an immortal's body. If Patriarch Chen could do him a favor now, he could be rewarded handsomely in the future.
Patriarch Chen crushed a jade talisman and a portal appeared. He took Lu Li out and went to the Cloud Mountain.
After reaching the peak of the mountain, the two of them entered a castle. There was an altar inside. Elder Chen explained, "You can teleport to that small world from here. Don't worry, there will be restrictions protecting you after you enter. There won't be any danger."
Patriarch Chen activated the Inhibition Formations. Lu Li felt he had been teleported for a long time before the world in front of him brightened up.
They were in a plain. A semicircular shield was placed on the grassland. There were three people sitting here with their legs crossed. They saluted Patriarch Chen at once.
Around them was a dense forest. Lu Li used psychic power to check. There was nothing in the forest. It was eerily quiet.
He looked into the distance. The forest was boundless. It must be the same kind of terrain.
"This is the world of Dream Beasts!"
Patriarch Chen explained, "The forest is full of Dream Beasts. They just don't show up usually.
Let the worms out and let them eat on their own.
But don't let out too many. Don't wipe out the Dream Beasts. "
"I won't!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "I will only let out one. Let's not go back yet. Let's stay here for a while."
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li let out the dark golden Worm of Void. The Worm of Void became incorporeal and flew into the forest directly through the Inhibition Formations.
As soon as the Worm of Void went in, it alarmed the Dream Beasts. One by one, the Dream Beasts came out. Lu Li told the mother worm to let the dark golden Worm of Void eat to its heart's content.
The dark golden Worm of the Void rushed into the body of a Dream Monster. What happened next shocked Lu Li, Patriarch Chen, and the three guards — the Worm of the Void rushed into the body of a Dream Monster. In the time for one breath, the Dream Monster turned into a mist of blood. Not even a single hair or bone was left!
"The time for one breath …"
Patriarch Chen focused on the dark golden Worm of Void with psychic power. His expressions changed. He saw how the Worm of Void ate the Dream Beasts.
It was so fast that it was beyond imagination.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
One by one, the Dream Beasts turned into mist of blood. The Worm of Void floated around like lightning. As soon as the Worm of Void entered the body of the Dream Beasts, the Dream Beasts would turn into a mist of blood.
"Powerful!"
Elder Chen was speechless, and the faces of the three guarding martial artists turned pale. They thought that if these insects entered their bodies, would they turn into a bloody mist like the Dream Demon Beast?
One, ten, a hundred!
The Worm of Void was alive. Therefore, it attracted the Dream Beasts. As more and more Dream Beasts were eaten, Lu Li's frown deepened.
After 500 Dream Beasts were eaten, the dark golden Worm of Void showed no signs of splitting. Lu Li sighed. It seemed that the average Dream Beasts were of no use to the Worm of Void. The Worm of Void would not split even after eating 10,000.
It was the same with the evolution of the Worm of Void. When the Worm of Void devoured the bodies of demons, it would not evolve no matter how many it ate. The blood of demons could not meet the requirement for the Worm of Void to evolve.
Similarly, the blood of the Dream Beasts could not meet the requirement for the Worm of Void to split. Otherwise, the Worm of Void would have split long ago.
Lu Li, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He continued to observe. Two hours later, the Worm of Void had eaten more than 2000 Dream Warlocks and the Worm of Void was still intact. Lu Li flew it back.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
