CHAPTER 328: ANCIENT WYRM APPEARS

There are countless monsters inside the Great Sky Ruin. Most of these monsters are different from demonic beasts, as they grow stronger, but can’t develop intelligence. And those who aren’t sentient can’t follow the path of dao.

These monsters are excellent for farming materials. The materials can be used to refine medicinal pills or forge treasures. And some of them could even be coveted by Ancient Realm cultivators.

" Beware! It’s a Rock Eating Worm!" Meng Zhi’s shout alerted everyone.

All the disciples of Four Seasons Valley scattered as the ground erupted. Mu Qinglian pulled out her sword in a flash as she slashed at the giant worm.

" Frozen Slash!*

An icy brilliance flashed as the worm shattered like an ice statue. However, it didn’t stop with a single worm. The ground kept trembling as more and more worms poured out.

" Ah, shit. Looks like we have encountered a worm nest." Long Ming smacked his lips. " Everyone! The scales of these worms are very tough. Attack their head and mouth."

" Yes, Senior Brother!"

The disciples of Four Seasons Valley scattered as they pulled out their weapons, each attacking the worms with all their power.

" Blazing Fire Slash!"

" Cleaning Wind Cut!"

" Vine Reaping Technique!"

Since the Four Seasons Grand Swords Play of Four Seasons Valley is completed, Long Ming and Xia Yuqing discussed about using it to boost the strength of disciples.

Breaking the True Imperial Technique into Royal grade, and then Royal Grade into Noble grade, they simplified the technique so even the lowest disciples could afford it.

Even for those who had already mastered their respective techniques, guidance was enough for them to polish their techniques.

It barely took a while before all the worms were cleaned up. However, at that moment, a giant worm erupted from the ground. It was at least five times bigger than the normal ones, with a distinct black horn on its head.

" Looks like it’s Worm King." Ming Yuexin wiped the blood from her sword.

But suddenly, her expression changed as she jumped from the ground.

" DODGE!"

The ground rumbled and spikes erupted from the ground like thorns, spreading across the area like a wild flower. The sudden quake made the disciples startled. Those who were slow got stabbed by them.

" RAAAHHHH!"

A low growl erupted from the worm’s mouth as it’s scales glowed with an earthly light. The next moment, dust covered the sky as it started to swirl around it like a whirlwind.

" Beware! The whirlwind is has the properties to slow down your bodies and block your divine sense." Long Ming casually spoke from the side.

" This is no ordinary Worm King. Looks like it has a mixed bloodline with an ancient wrym."

Wu Liang and Meng Zhi were startled. " Well, doesn’t that mean the Worm King is more powerful than we thought?" Mu Qinglian frowned as she swung her sword, getting ready to attack.

Long Ming raised his hand. " Don’t interfere. Let them handle on their own."

" Lin Xie, Chen Yin, Shui Huan, get in formation!"

" Sisters, distract that monster for a bit!" Lin Xie shouted. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley nodded as they scattered around, attacking the Worm King from different angles.

Shui Huan and Chen Yin nodded as they joined Lin Xie.

" Three Season Severance!"

Aura of summer, autumn, and winter erupted from their bodies as they launched their attacks at the same time. Chen Yin’s swirling wind clashed against the sandstorm, effectively blocking it. Meanwhile, Shui Huan’s saber blazed with scorching flames, coordinating with Lin Xie’s ice energy.

*BOOM! BOOM!*

With Chen Yin creating a gap, ice and fire merged as they chopped through the body of the Worm King. Lin Xie took the chance as she attacked the horn of the Worm King, breaking it from its head.

The Worm King let out a terrible roar as it fell on the ground.

" Not bad, you all did well." Long Ming nodded as he walked to the corpse of the Worm King.

" Yay!"

" Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Long Ming squatted down as he shook his head. " Unfortunately, you butchered it so badly. The precious horn and scales are all damaged."

" No points for you."

The bright smiles of three girls stiffened as they sighed. Ming Yuexin couldn’t help but click her tongue.

" Oi, don’t be crestfallen. Brother Long is just teasing you."

Mu Qinglian nodded. " Indeed, you have room for improvement. However, your current power is enough to tackle a low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator."

" But still, keep note of it next time." Long Ming spoke.

" So, Shall we move forward?" Meng Zhi asked. But Long Ming shook his head.

"Yes, we should move. This Worm King, it has a bloodline of an Ancient Wrym, eh?" Long Ming pondered. " I guess we are officially inside their territory.

Ancient Wryms are one of the powerful monsters inside the Azure Mount Forest. Legends says that they have remnant bloodline of a True Dragon.

Utterly ferocious, even the weakest of them could kill a Low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator. However, despite its power, its entire body is a treasure trove.

Even if the dragon bloodline is thin, it could be extracted and refined into medicinal pills that could strengthen the physique and nourish true qi. And the scales and bones could be refined into Noble grade treasures.

Long Ming looked at the corpse of the Worm King as he dissected it. With a flicker of his hands, a string of rich crimson blood erupted. Without any delay, Long Ming collected it inside a jade bottle.

" Senior Brother, what’s that?" Ming Yuexin asked in a curious voice.

" That’s the bloodline of an ancient wrym." Long Ming grinned. " I collected it to create a bait."

" You want to hunt ancient wryms?"’ Lin Xie and others were stunned for a moment before nodding.

" Indeed, if we get such a chance, how can we lose it?"

" Ancient wyrms are very precious. A single part of their body can be sold at a high price."

After a while, Long Ming stopped as he looked around. ’ Hmm, I think this should be the place? To open the gates of the storage, we need the aura of the core of an ancient wrym.’

" Alright, we are going to set the trap here." Long Ming announced.

Using his knowledge regarding formations, Long Ming prepared a simple array formation using the extracted blood. Then, placing the horn in the middle, he asked everyone to scatter around.

*BOOM! BOOOM!*

Suddenly, the entire place shook violently, as if the mountains shifted across the plane. A deafening roar echoed as the sky darkened.

The majestic aura spread like a tidal wave, suppressing all the living things around it. The scales glowed like pale silver, with a pair op bright serpentine eyes glancing at the horn.

Long Ming’s expression hardened when he saw a gigantic wrym descending from the sky.

’ Damn it! That’s no ordinary ancient wrym!! That’s probably at least Peak of Harmonization Realm or even more!!"

Suddenly, the wrym raised its head and opened its mouth.

’ Damn it! It noticed the group of Lin Xie!!’ An ominous thought appeared in Long Ming’s mind as he hurriedly shouted.

" GRAND ELDER!"

" YES!"

A pale white jet of energy beamed from the mouth of the silver ancient wrym, destroying anything on its path.

However, before it could reach Lin Xie, a blazing sword made from white flames emerged, slicing the beam into two.

Grand Elder Wu Liang appeared before the ancient wrym as a sword shone in her hands.

" Beast! You dare to harm my disciples?!"

" White Flame Burst!"
