    They were all extremely cautious while flying inside the sea of rocks, Tang Tian controlled Sextans Eye to prevent it from flying too quickly.


    Rocks were the only things they could see, inside thend of silence.


    “Be careful, there’s something strange!” Tang Tian’s intuition was the sharpest, as if he could sense something lying in wait in the darkness, he immediately warned the rest.


    The three of them became even more cautious, as they trusted Tang Tians intuition. Although he did not look to be very reliable in times, but on the battlefield, Tang Tians judgement rarely made mistakes. Even the arrogant Little Fool became even more careful, since he had experienced the fool’s beastial like intuition.


    “Look at that rock!” Crane eximed, attracting everyone’s attention.


    All of their eyes followed Crane’s finger, towards an ordinary looking rock. The surface of the rock had holes that resembled a bees’ nest, causing all of their hair to stand.


    “Be careful!” Tang Tian’s face suddenly changed.


    Just as his words came out, a group of jet ck shadows flew out from the packed holes, shooting towards them like rain.


    All the ck shadows were extremely fast, to the point that they could not be seen with their naked eyes.


    Little Fool’s reaction was the fastest, the Ya Ya Umbre suddenly blocked the group’s front. Serene looking light auras lit up from the umbre’s surface, transforming into a light barrier. The Ya Ya Umbre was broken in the fight against the Temple Saints, and with its current spirit value, it was not of much of a use. If it was the past Little Fool, he would had thrown it because it was useless. But Ya Ya had saved him, and thus he reluctantly kept it.


    For a fussy perfectionist with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, to keep something formemoration and no value was truly difficult to ept.


    So Little Fool immediately spent a rtivelyrge amount of energy to reconstruct the Ya Ya Umbre.


    The new Ya Ya Umbre had characteristics leaning towards more on defensive capabilities, and Little Fool did not care about what he invested into it. He added the Honorable Martial Crown, which was a powerful furnace cauldron in the shape of a skull, so the new Ya Ya Umbre’s defensive attributes were outstanding.


    Ding ding ding!


    The sound of the attacks poured like rain, the sounding from the umbre. At the same time, an extremely surprising force came through from the umbre as well.


    Little Fool’s face changed.


    The Ya Ya Umbre was forced to retreat backwards, the strong force caused the surface of the Umbre to be ignited with sparks, causing the dark void to light up.


    Little Fool took a deep breath, and suddenly spun the Umbre’s handle.


    Woosh!


    The Umbre’s surface rotated very quickly, the intense revolutions caused the powerful attacks to ricochet.


    Chi Chi Chi!


    The ck figures were flung by the umbre, and shot into the boulders around, at the same time releasing unbearable piercing sounds as they entered the rocks, it was ear piercing.


    Facing the ck figures, the sturdy boulders were like tofu, easily pierced through and leaving thumb sized holes. All of their faces changed at the same time, they finally understood how the holes had appeared on the boulders.


    The ck figures that separated everywhere, once again pounced towards Tang Tian’s group.


    Like lightning!


    But all of them had been through so many battles, initially they were shocked, but they had already regained their focus. The first to counterattack was Ling Xu, gently twisting his palm and blossoming out countless silver auras into the air around him.


    When the ck figures entered the silver aura, pa pa pa, all of them exploded into pieces.


    Ling Xu was somewhat excited, all the ck figures were strong, stronger than he had imagined, and he was pushed back by the intense shock wave produced by the attack.


    But this force only made him more excited.


    shing head on was his favourite attacking style. Without hesitation, his body flowed along with his spear as another raindrop sized silver aura exploded in front of him, trapping the ck figure that was flying towards him.


    Pa pa pa!


    The dense explosions sounded out from the silver rain of spear auras.


    The Crane Sword was unsheathed in Crane’s hands, the clear sound of a crane cry aroused everyone’s spirit.


    Soaring upwards like a ck crane dancing, he danced along with his sword, performing weird stances, forming a formless ripple with Crane at the center dissipating outwards. All the ck figures that were swept by the formless ripple would turn sluggish.


    Everyone then noticed that the ck figures were actually ck worms.


    The ck worms were the size of fingers, their bodies were shiny ck with hints of metallic luster. Their bodies were full of joints, allowing them to curve around casually. All these joints were like many springs forced to cramp together as they bent, storing arge potential energy. The moment they touched the rocks, they would bend, like a spring contracting on the rocks, they would use the momentum to shoot out, leaving a thumb size hole deeply embedded into the rock.


    Crane had never seen these ck worms in all the ancient records before, their frontal mouth pincer like weapons were like two extremely sharp razors. And what was terrifying was that the two sharp des were moving at an extremely fast frequency. The strong rocks, facing those ‘weapons’, were easily cut down like tofu.


    At the moment, Crane seemed to be in a trance, like an ethereal illusion, his dancing figure was blurred.


    If we were to say that Jing Hao’s spirit domain, the sword spirit was extremely rare, then Crane’s spirit domain was even more mysterious and unfathomable. Even Crane himself did not expect that after training with the [Heavenly Crane Sword Principle] till the end, what he had cultivated out was not a sword technique, but a type of sacrificial ritual.


    A shamanic dance sacrifice ritual that originated from the East.


    This made him unable tough or cry, but this mysterious and unfathomable dance technique that brought forth an aura hailed from a dense forest, contained a surprising force. He then understood, Crane Sect had so many techniques, for example the [Rotating Swords of the Dancing Crane], actually contained clues regarding this dance technique.


    The head sect originated from the far East, and after the Ancient Ancestor had passed, no one was able to truly exin the profound principles of the techniques.


    The sword techniques of the Crane Sect were not truly focused on the sword, but were tools and devices for the sacrificial ritual, and this enlightenment made Crane speechless. And since he could not train in other spirit techniques, he could only learn and fumble about throughout his enlightenment.


    At the moment, he deeply understood that the inheritance of Crane Sect was broad and deep, and far from ordinary. Even at the saint level, he initially thought that with his understanding on energy andprehension ofws, he should be able to clearly understand deeper the teachings of the Sect.


    But he unexpectedly realized that there were many things and aspects in which he never understood.


    He did not have only one spirit domain, but two. One was the spirit domain in between his eyebrows, and the other was in the Crane Sword in his hand. In the past, he thought that the Crane Sword was the Saint Treasure of Grus Constetion, but then he found out, it was a tool brought by his Ancestor from the East, and his Ancestor’s used his boundless Power to force Grus Constetion to belong to the Sword.


    One big and one small spirit domain, was able to give rise to non permutable variations.


    Of course, to the current Crane, he was deeply attracted to the profound and agile figures that would surface in his eyes from time to time.


    It was like those ancient stances were filled with energy that could cause hearts to palpitate.


    This formless ripple was able to disrupt focus, Crane had tried it before, it waspletely different from other illusion spirit techniques, it was able to directly affect the focus of a person, and it was much more difficult to defend against.


    The ck worms did not have high intellect, and after being swept by the formless ripple, their bodies froze, and they lost control.


    The Crane Sword in Crane’s hand swept past like wind.


    The ck worms quickly crumbled along with the wind.


    Different from Crane, Jing Hao’s sword was as clear as day and straight as a ruler as it swept around. His sword techniques were clearly not fast, not slow or swift, but the lightning quick ck figures were incapable of escaping from his sword images.


    In his hand, Drunk on Saint Blood was tamed and docile, the reserved brilliance did not release any bloodthirst at all.


    The simple and unadorned sword techniques pierced the ck worms, which had extremely sturdy bodies, but were split into perfect halves. Jing Hao’s thorough and perfect sword movements cut the ck worms apart.


    In the blink of an eye, countless worm corpses that were split into halves floated around him.


    Tang Tian’s fists were released like the wind, every punch was enveloped with the red Devil me. William’s Devil me was never used by Little Fool, and remained in Tang Tian’s body, bing his best weapon.


    Tang Tian had spent a long time to be ustomed to William’s Imprint, as the imprints were fragments ofws. There was no energy in the pure fragments. In some sense, The Devil me in Tang Tian’s body was not theplete Devil me anymore, itcked the part of having energy.


    But William would definitely not had expected that his Devil me would actually be even stronger after removing energy from it. It became a unique me based on a different type ofw.


    Tang Tian was still far from mastering the true Devil me, but he already had a certain amount of control over it.


    His movements were extremely fast, and as long as the Devil me brushed past the ck worms, it wouldbust along the ck worms bodies like maggots, till the entire body of the ck worms werepletely burnt.


    Tang Tian simply made ayer of fire around his entire body.


    Sssssiii sssssii ssssssiii!


    The ck worms pounced into theyer of fire wall like flying worms.


    The only strange thing was that not one ck worm pounced towards Little Fool. Above Little Fool, a bead was slowly rotating and releasing a screen of light that enveloped Little Fool.


    The Forceful Subjugating Bead!


    The powerful Qi from the Forceful Subjugating Bead actually prevented the dumb ck worms who only knew how to ughter to not dare to go near him.


    Very quickly, the group of ck worms were annihted.


    The four of them stopped, the victory did not make any of them happy, but instead made their faces even darker. The ck worms were considered strong, and to meet them upon barely entering the sea of rocks, it caused all of them to have a bad feeling surface in their hearts.


    The vast and boundless sea of rocks was not safe.


    The road was still long, and no one knew what dangers would be up ahead.


    “These ck worms were never recorded in history or records.” Crane grabbed a worm corpse and looked at it carefully. The outer shell of the ck worm was extremely sturdy, and even with Crane’s strength, he was unable to break the outer shell that was like metal.


    “Eh!” Suddenly, Tang Tian eximed out, attracting all of their attention.


    Rice sized ck gold grains floated around Tang Tian. He picked up and eximed with surprise: “This is strong, I thought I could burn it with my Devil me, but it actually cannot be burned.”


    His words stirred their emotions.


    Tang Tian’s Devil me’s might was extremely powerful, although Tang Tian had not found out clearly what kind of me it was, but it was definitely a mew. The might of any mew was far more powerful than ordinary mes, and so something that could not be burned by a mew....


    Tang Tian’s words immediately reminded Crane. Crane carefully looked around him, his eyes lighting up. All the ck worms that he thought were destroyed by him, had left behind countless of the ck sand, if not for Tang Tian reminding him, he would not had noticed them.


    “I have some here too, but they are not metal grains, but ck sand.”


    Hearing what Crane said, Jing Hao and Ling Xu looked at each other, without saying anything, they went to collect all the worm corpses around. Although they had not found the use of the ck gold, but it was obvious.


    This is definitely good stuff!
