Chapter 752: Void Fortress Beneath the Dead Star's Core
His worry was not about how to find B2 Virtual Realm Fortress, but how to notify the other two without arousing suspicion.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly raised an eyebrow; he already had an idea in mind.
"Hmm, it seems I encountered a group of Void Worms before. That's it!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already teleported two Constant Years away.
A sudden expanse of gray-black eerie fog appeared deep within the rolling Chaos storm, swiftly approaching.
The eerie fog covered the sky, its momentum like a rainbow, harboring a chilling killing intent.
Under the "view" of Divine Thought, the fog revealed its true form, countless gray-black insects.
These insects resembled worms, averaging about a foot in length, their bodies fat like silkworms, yet their backs were lined with black bone spurs, making one's skin crawl.
"Luckily, this group of Void Worms doesn't number more than a billion. The Insect Emperor's power is likely still below the Returning to Void level, not too difficult to handle." Zhao Sheng watched the rapidly approaching worm fog, taking a light step forward.
In the next moment, he appeared in the deepest part of the worm swarm.
The Void Worms here were incredibly large, their bodies generally around seven or eight zhang long, exuding an aura not weak, with power ranging from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation.
Void Worms are a gregarious race, and the larger their population, the stronger their overall power, allowing them to resist the harsh "environment" of the Dark Sky by leveraging their collective power.
"A billion worms as one!"
This is the secret of the Void Worms' survival in the Dark Sky!
The Void Worm swarm also noticed Zhao Sheng's intrusion, and in an instant, emitted countless psychic waves, converging into a vast and mighty consciousness akin to a sea, impacting Zhao Sheng.
"Too slow to react! Too late!" Zhao Sheng shook his head and smiled before vanishing into thin air.
Bam!
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared, slamming down hard onto the head of a massive worm nearly a hundred zhang long, with much of his body embedded into the thick worm skin.
"Don't move, or you'll die!"
Zhao Sheng suddenly unleashed the overwhelming pressure of the Returning to Void Realm, simultaneously issuing a death threat to the Insect Emperor beneath him.
The Insect Emperor, both furious and shocked, was about to rally the strength of its entire clan to kill the "Human Clan Cultivator" on its head.
Who knew a force, impossible to resist, would penetrate from the top of its head, instantly turning much of its brain into mush.
Then, the Insect Emperor was struck by a series of thunderous assaults
until its consciousness became disoriented, barely clinging on to life under the relentless onslaught. Only then did Zhao Sheng stop and ask, "Do you submit?"
"I submit!" the Insect Emperor immediately transmitted back pitifully.
"I ask, you answer. Which Alien Demon clan do you belong to?"
"I am from the Zhe Luo Demon Group. From birth of consciousness till now, it's been 37,503 years, and I'm currently in charge of herding this group of Void Worms."
Zhao Sheng nodded, sensing that the other party was not lying, and asked again, "What's your mission?"
"I was 'patrolling' the line, but did not anticipate offending you, sir." The Insect Emperor was evidently very astute, mimicking Human Clan flattery.
Zhao Sheng found this Alien Demon quite satisfactory and continued to ask several questions.
As expected, this Alien Demon, which had seized the Insect Emperor's body, knew neither the whereabouts of B2 Virtual Realm Fortress nor that their side had already captured B2 Virtual Realm Fortress.
It was merely a lower-level Demon Monster within the Alien Demon Clan, lacking the privilege to know "high-level secrets."
However, Zhao Sheng's purpose was not to gather information from it; rather...
Bam!
The Insect Emperor's head exploded unexpectedly, with large amounts of gray-white brain matter splattering out, instantly erased by the Space-Time Storm.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand casually, and streams of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder descended from nowhere, all striking a black Demon Shadow. The Demon Shadow had no time even to scream before it vanished on the spot.
He reached out, and a multi-faceted crystal, the size of an egg, flew up from below, landing in his hand.
At this moment, the worm swarm was in turmoil, becoming extremely chaotic in an instant.
However, the swarm quickly split into seven or eight different groups, fleeing rapidly in all directions.
Many Demon Thought Subbodies were mixed among the different groups, lucky enough to escape unharmed.
Zhao Sheng showed no intention of making a move, allowing them to escape.
He quickly took out the Nine Divine Gu and sent a message to summon both Hundred Birds Taoist and Ji Tian.
After waiting for most of the day, Hundred Birds Taoist was the first to arrive.
"Taoist Yan, did you really find the whereabouts of B2 Virtual Realm Fortress?" Hundred Birds Taoist immediately confirmed with excitement upon meeting.
"Yan was fortunate! Shortly after I started searching, I encountered a group of void worms enslaved by demons. Unexpectedly, from the mouth of the Insect Emperor, I learned that B2 Virtual Realm Fortress had been transported to the current world by the Alien Demons, which is why I urgently informed you."
With that, Zhao Sheng pointed at the massive worm corpse beneath him and simultaneously displayed the alien crystal in his hand.
This alien crystal had three hundred and seventy-six facets, already belonging to the category of Primordial Spirit Demons.
Hundred Birds Taoist was thrilled at first sight, without suspecting Zhao Sheng of deliberately lying.
To put it simply, the lie would offer no benefit nor any meaning!
"Haha! Taoist Yan is indeed incredible! So, we are several steps ahead of the Demon-slaying Team. They wouldn't have anticipated that the Alien Demons would transport B2 Virtual Realm Fortress to the current world Star Domain."
"It's just luck on my part!" Zhao Sheng expressed with feigned humility.
...
...
(The update couldn't be finished in time, apologies! Refresh again in an hour.)
The void worms here are surprisingly large, with lengths generally reaching seventy to eighty feet, and their aura is strong, ranging in power from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation.
Void worms are communal creatures; the larger the community size, the stronger the collective power, and they can also use the collective strength to resist the extremely harsh "environment" of the Dark Sky.
"Millions become one worm!"
This is the secret of void worms' survival in the Dark Sky!
The void worm group had also detected Zhao Sheng's intrusion and instantly emitted countless spiritual waves, converging into a vast and strong consciousness, surging towards Zhao Sheng.
"Too slow! You're late!" Zhao Sheng shook his head with a smile, and his figure abruptly vanished into thin air.
Bang!
In a flash, he reappeared and slammed down onto the head of a massive worm over a hundred feet long, with much of his body sinking into the thick worm skin.
"Don't move, move and you die!"
Zhao Sheng suddenly unleashed a powerful Returning to Void Realm pressure, simultaneously issuing a mortal threat to the Insect Emperor beneath him.
The Insect Emperor, mixed with shock and anger, was about to rally the entire tribe to kill the "Human Clan Cultivator" on its head.
Unexpectedly, an irresistible mighty force penetrated from above, instantly turning much of its brain into mush.
Immediately afterwards, the Insect Emperor suffered a continuous barrage of lightning strikes.
Until it became dazed and utterly battered, barely alive, Zhao Sheng finally stopped and asked, "Do you submit?"
"I submit!" The Insect Emperor immediately responded with a pitiful message.
"I ask, you answer. Which branch of the Alien Demon Clan are you from?"
"I hail from the Zhe Luo Demon Group, and I have been conscious for thirty-seven thousand five hundred and three years, now responsible for tending this group of void worms."
Zhao Sheng nodded, sensing no deceit from the other party, and asked again, "What is your mission?"
"I am 'patrolling' along the line, but I never intended to run into you, my lord." The Insect Emperor seemed very tactful, even imitating the flattery typical of the Human Clan.
Zhao Sheng was quite satisfied with this Alien Demon, then asked a few more questions.
As expected, this Alien Demon who had seized the Insect Emperor's body knew neither the whereabouts of B2 Virtual Realm Fortress nor even that their side had already captured it.
In the Alien Demon Clan, it was merely a lower-tier demon monster, with no qualifications to be in the know about "upper-tier secrets."
However, Zhao Sheng's purpose was not to gather information from it, but...
Bang!
The Insect Emperor's head unexpectedly exploded, with large patches of gray-white brain matter spraying out, instantly erased by a space-time storm.
Zhao Sheng waved casually, and several Purple Cloud Divine Thunder descended from nowhere, all striking a mass of black demon shadow, which dispersed without even a scream.
He beckoned with his hand, and a multi-faceted crystal the size of an egg flew up from below, landing in his palm.
At that moment, the worm swarm seemed to explode—
