The Heaven-devouring Locust was a species that made people pale. It was a creature of disaster that could destroy all living things.
Now, the Heaven-devouring Locust Queens and the Heaven-devouring Locust King were burned to death by the purple-black fire, unable to harm the world.
Of course, many Heaven-devouring Locust were still alive in the nearby land spaces, but they felt the power of fire that made them completely afraid. They did not dare to move rashly, and they were filled with incomparable fear.
These high-level Heaven-devouring Locust were mostly burned. Ling Xiao did not care anymore and summoned all the remaining Supreme Puppets. They began to descend onto the land spaces and clean up the low-level Heaven-devouring Locust.
This time, Ling Xiao did not destroy the land space, because he wanted to find some divine items from the place where the Heaven-devouring Locust gathered.
There would be locust eggs in the nest of the Heaven-devouring Locust queen, and these eggs could hatch into many Heaven-devouring Locust.
For those with malicious intentions, they would naturally hatch the locust eggs and use them for their own use. At that time, they could sweep the world.
However, such people would not be able to raise the Heaven-devouring Locust in the end, and would instead be devoured by them.
Ling Xiao naturally did not look for these locust eggs to hatch them, but to absorb the essence of the locust eggs.
These locust eggs contained the pure wood life essence of the Heaven-devouring Locust queen. Each locust egg was enough to increase one's life force by a lot.
Ling Xiao planned to collect all of them to help him suddenly reach the level of a middle-stage Supreme Martial Artist!
Ling Xiao and the others swept through a land space with tens of millions of Heaven-devouring Locust. It was difficult to find any Level 11 locusts among these Heaven-devouring Locust. Naturally, they could not withstand the destruction of Ling Xiao and the others. Moreover, with the prodigal son and the Demonic Heavenly Fire Pearl, the two fire sources, it was enough to burn them to ashes!
Ling Xiao stepped through the nests of many Heaven-devouring Locust and harvested many locust eggs, which made him ecstatic.
These locust eggs were full of essence energy. Even when he borrowed them to absorb the essence, he felt unusually surging.
After all, each locust egg could hatch into tens of thousands of Heaven-devouring Locust, and contained one-fifth of the wood essence of the Heaven-devouring Locust queen!
When Ling Xiao had finished sweeping a piece of land, he still gave the order to destroy it completely!
Only God knew where the Heaven Devouring Locust was. By destroying it and not giving the Heaven Devouring Locust any chance of survival, he would be doing a good deed for the world.
This was to prevent these Heaven Devouring Locusts from doing anything disastrous in the future.
After sweeping through several spaces, Ling Xiao finally approached the space where the Nine-Colored Exquisite Divine Tree was located.
That space was also densely packed with Heaven Devouring Locusts, and their numbers were two times more than the other land spaces.
The Exquisite Leaf in Ling Xiao's hand kept flashing with a nine-colored light, giving Ling Xiao a sense of urgency.
"Looks like it's here!" Ling Xiao said after taking a deep breath.
Finally, he was close to the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree. This meant that the Wood Genesis Stone was close at hand.
However, Ling Xiao did not dare to barge in like he did in the other spaces. There were not many Heaven Devouring Locusts here, and they were far away from Ling Xiao's previous position, so it was difficult to lure them out.
Before this, Ling Xiao had already lost most of the purple-black fire in his cauldron. In the end, he did not get much back. If he directly brought the purple-black fire into this space, he could also eliminate these Heaven Devouring Locusts. However, he was afraid that doing so would also burn the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree to death!
After thinking for a while, Ling Xiao let the prodigal son, the Demon Heavenly Fire Bead, and the Innate Yin Wind Bead rush into the land space and turn it upside down. Once the Heaven Devouring Locusts were touched by the heaven fire, they could start a prairie fire. First, they could exterminate the Heaven Devouring Locusts, and then they could drive them out to relieve the pressure on the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree. Then, they could act according to the situation.
With a plan, Ling Xiao immediately ordered them to rush into that space.
Peng peng!
Two heavenly fires and a black storm were like thunder on the flat ground. In an instant, they burned and rolled up the Heaven Devouring Locusts in that space.
Buzz buzz!
Many Heaven Devouring Locusts were triggered, and they instantly burst into chaos. It was a complete mess!
Ling Xiao and the others stayed far away from this area. They were waiting for the high-level Heaven Devouring Locusts to rush out and kill them.
There were quite a number of Rank 11 Heaven Devouring Locusts here. Ling Xiao and the others had gone through a great battle and lost thirty to forty Sovereign Puppets before they managed to exterminate these high level Heaven Devouring Locusts.
The other Heaven Devouring Locusts were no longer a threat. Ling Xiao and Liu Piaopiao began to enter the space land space.
Under the guidance of the Exquisite Leaf, Ling Xiao and Liu Piaopiao came to a place that was still covered by many Heaven Devouring Locusts.
There were still several Heaven Devouring Locusts behind them, and two of them were at the peak of Rank 11.
Below them, there were countless Heaven Devouring Locusts that were constantly gnawing at the place that was flashing with the Nine-Colored Divine Light. They penetrated bit by bit and entered the Nine-Colored Divine Light.
However, the Nine-Colored Divine Light looked a lot dimmer, but it was full of murderous intent. Rays of Divine Light twisted the Heaven Devouring Locusts into powder. Some of the Heaven Devouring Locusts that were trapped inside were killed by the branches.
However, the dead Heaven Devouring Locusts turned into a pool of sticky green liquid that fell on the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree, causing the Divine Light to dim a lot.
After days and nights, the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree was covered with a thick layer of green liquid. The strong toxicity had corroded most of the branches of the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree, causing it to lose most of its magical effect.
Now, the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree had lost a lot of its divine power. If even the last bit of defense failed, it would really be devoured by these Heaven Devouring Locusts. Fortunately, it had boundless divine power and could withstand the gnawing of so many Heaven Devouring Locusts.
"Piao Piao, be careful and take care of yourself. Dragon Fifth and I will kill these rank 11 Heaven Devouring Locusts!"
As Ling Xiao spoke, he summoned Dragon Fifth. At the same time, his Divine Soul Doppelganger also appeared and rushed towards the Heaven Devouring Locusts.
Although Dragon Fifth was not as advanced as these Heaven Devouring Locusts, his combat power had increased by a hundred times. When he summoned the Dragon Ball, he could simply sweep them away.
As for Ling Xiao's advanced Divine Soul, it was the same. Coupled with the Emperor Heaven Destroyer Art, its lethality was even more powerful.
As long as he killed all the Heaven Devouring Locusts in front of him, the other Heaven Devouring Locusts were nothing to be afraid of.
Dragon Fifth fought one against four, while Ling Xiao's Divine Soul fought one against three, carrying out the final attack!
Before this, Ling Xiao had already killed countless Heaven Devouring Locusts. Now, it was more than enough to face them again.
With his destructive move of five dragons as one, it was enough to kill two advanced rank 11 Heaven Devouring Locusts. The peak rank 11 Heaven Devouring Locusts was also seriously injured and wanted to escape.
How could Ling Xiao let it go? A double dragon wind pierced through its defense and burned its body, causing it to fall completely.
The other Heaven Devouring Locusts that surged up were all smashed into pieces by Ling Xiao's fire fists. Many were even burned to death by the flames!
Liu Piaopiao was already killing the Heaven Devouring Locusts that covered the Nine Color Exquisite Tree.
They had long been forced out by Wastrel and the Demon Heavenly Fire Bead.
They were no longer a threat. Under the sweep of Ling Xiao's Supreme Puppets, the Heaven Devouring Locusts in this space were gradually reduced and destroyed.
With the destruction of these Heaven Devouring Locusts, there were no more Heaven Devouring Locusts at the Nine Color Exquisite Tree.
Ling Xiao threw the Exquisite Leaf in his hand towards the Nine Color Exquisite Tree.
Swoosh!
The Exquisite Leaf floated onto the Nine Color Exquisite Tree and emitted a nine-colored divine light. It established a connection with the Nine Color Exquisite Tree. The divine lights reflected each other and bloomed with even more powerful divine colors.
The Jewel Leaf fell back into the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree and returned to the branch.
Then, a weak figure slowly walked out from the main tree trunk.
This was the Tree Spirit of the Nine Color Exquisite Tree that Ling Xiao had seen in the Wood Grain Clan.
"Human, you really have a great destiny with the Tree of God. You actually managed to exterminate these Sky-Devouring Locusts. Ling Long is very grateful to you!" Ling Long said to Ling Xiao with a grateful expression.
"Exquisite, you don't have to thank me. You also know why I am here!" Ling Xiao replied honestly.
Then, he took out some Holy Spring that he had obtained in the Demon Forest and handed it to Exquisite.
Not only did this Holy Spring contain Water Element, but it also contained a large amount of Wood Element Origin. It could help Exquisite recover more Profound Qi and change its current weak state.
Exquisite accepted the spring water and felt the boundless Wood-type Essence within. She was delighted, and drank it down. Many of the tree trunks behind her immediately regained their vitality, and much of the locust fluid's poison had been expelled from them.
"Thank you again, human. You are my lucky star in life!"
Exquisite expressed her gratitude again. Then, the tree behind her shook and a green stone rushed out from under the tree.
Bang!
The green stone wasn't very big, but it emitted a dazzling divine light and an incomparably rich vitality.
This was the Wood Element Genesis Stone that Ling Xiao had been looking forward to for a long time.
Its size was much smaller than the Genesis Stones that he had obtained before. However, the power it contained was very pure and vigorous!
Ling Xiao sucked it in and immediately felt waves of Primordial Energy in his body. It made him want to break through the shackles and ascend immediately.
"I've finally got you!" Ling Xiao said with a satisfied smile.
Exquisite said, "It wasn't originally this small. I borrowed its Genesis Strength to resist these Heaven Devouring Locusts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now. Fortunately, you arrived early. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on for a hundred years. Maybe in another ten years or so, they would have broken through. Their reproduction ability is too fast. It's impossible to destroy them!"
"Yes, there are still several spaces with these Heaven Devouring Locusts. If you continue to stay here, I'm afraid you will be eaten by them. Have you ever thought of moving to another place to survive?" Ling Xiao said.
He really wanted to trick this Nine-Colored Exquisite Tree to follow him. That way, he could see through other people's intentions!
