Crack!

Crack!

The top of the Insect Cocoon was drilled open, and the tender body of the Thousand-Handed Centipede crawled out of the cocoon.

The freshly molted body was a pinkish color, but as it came into contact with the air, the insect shell quickly turned black and thickened, turning into a heavy chitin shell.

By now, the fully transformed Thousand-Handed Centipede had reached an astonishing length of 12 meters, comparable to the size of a bus.

Sizzle!

The new insect shell was somewhat itchy, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede stood up straight and rubbed against a large tree to scratch the itch.

However, this action unexpectedly caused the tree, tens of meters high, to collapse, and the falling branches and leaves landed on the Thousand-Handed Centipede’s head. It looked very confused, still not quite adapted to the sudden increase in its immense power.

“A low-grade poisonous insect that has undergone Three Refinements in Spirit Refining. Even among the inner disciples, I’m afraid not many could achieve this,” Su Jie thought happily, turning his gaze to the head of the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

The most significant change in this round of Spirit Refining evolution was not the increase in size, but the growth of a layer of hard carapace on its head, presenting a ghastly white color similar to the pale Corpse Hands, as if made from pale bones.

The surface of the mask was filled with cracks, and a purple glow seeped and flowed underneath, eerie beyond words.

In the eyeholes of the mask, there were a pair of deep grooves, and at the dark center lay a pair of cold, merciless insect eyes, staring at any living being that came close.

The appearance of this Bone Mask made the Thousand-Handed Centipede even more bizarre and sinister.

Just one look at it sent shivers down the spine, invoking an instinctual fear that warned not to touch, not to come close, not to attempt communication, for despair was all that awaited.

Thud thud!

Su Jie knocked on the Thousand-Handed Centipede’s mask, placing his hand upon it.

The mask felt cold and hard to the touch, with a deep purple glow flickering as if warm currents were surging within it.

The stroked Thousand-Handed Centipede lowered its head, happily arching forward seeking affection.

“Xiao Qian, try the new ability,” Su Jie said as he patted the massive head of the Thousand-Handed Centipede and took several steps back to stand firm.

Sizzle!

The Thousand-Handed Centipede rose halfway up and upon hearing Su Jie’s command, a gloomy blue-purple light flashed on its bone mask.

Boom boom boom!

The next moment, dozens of purple light rays burst forth from the cracks in the mask’s cheeks, like beams of high-temperature lasers. Whatever the purple light touched, trees snapped, rocks melted, the super high temperature distorted the very air.

Each Purple Light Ray was extremely powerful, blasting through and severing at least a dozen large trees before their energy dissipated into nothing, leaving hot wind in their wake that caused the surrounding temperature to rapidly rise by more than twenty degrees.

Immediately after, the Thousand-Handed Centipede slightly shifted its head, and with it the Purple Light Rays shifted, cutting through the lush trees as if they were slicing through butter. In the blink of an eye, the trees were severed and toppled, with smoke and dust filling the air.

It sounds like a lengthy process, but actually, it happened incredibly fast.

In just a few seconds, a large swath of forest in front was laid to waste, with the ground covered in scorched earth and burning trees.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede then closed the cracks on its bone cheeks, appearing somewhat languid as it lay down.

It was clear that this move took a great toll on it and could only be used as a trump card, not as a normal attack.

“Purple Light Rays akin to high-temperature lasers, this move is suitable as a trump card,” Su Jie marveled at the new ability the Thousand-Handed Centipede had mastered after its third Spirit Refining.

Such high-temperature beams could melt through solid steel, let alone the flesh of ordinary humans.

Following this, Su Jie summoned the thousand-hand centipede to shrink its body and began operating the Hundred Poison Refining Gu Scripture.

The surging life force and spiritual power within the thousand-hand centipede continuously poured back into Su Jie’s limbs and bones through reverse nourishment. After circulating through thirty-six Grand Circulations, Su Jie finally digested and absorbed them, synchronizing his aura completely with that of the thousand-hand centipede.

Several hours later, Su Jie lifted his head, rubbed his eyes, and mobilized his spiritual power.

In an instant, Su Jie’s pupils turned a deep purple, and two beams of purple light burst forth, snapping several large trees before burning a hole several meters deep and one meter wide into the ground. The soil and rocks at the edge of the hole melted into flowing magma.

Whew!

Seeing the power of this strike, Su Jie was satisfied, but his complexion turned somewhat pale as over half of his spiritual power was depleted.

Although this move was sudden and possessed astonishing power and style, it consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy indeed.

Su Jie tried to minimize the supply of spiritual power while increasing the number of times he could fire the beam, but the power of the Purple Light Ray also dropped significantly.

As Su Jie was happily testing his abilities, the thousand-hand centipede was not so pleased.

Hiss!

The thousand-hand centipede cried out, looking at Su Jie with a grievance and signaling its hunger.

Having just advanced and burned through its energy reserves, its stomach was very hungry.

“Okay, okay, I’ll take you back,” Su Jie chuckled, cleaned up the scene, and drove the thousand-hand centipede to an insect warehouse.

This place stored a large number of various poisonous insects and snakes, all prepared as food for the thousand-hand centipede.

Upon entering the warehouse, the thousand-hand centipede resumed its original size and began to eat and drink lavishly.

Being as large as a bus, its appetite was incredibly vast.

The thousand-hand centipede grasped a box full of poisonous insects, opened it, and with a wide-open maw, the waterfall of insects cascaded into its mouth, swallowed directly.

Although the thousand-hand centipede ate quickly, the warehouse held such a vast quantity of poison insects, they filled more than half the space.

The thousand-hand centipede had eaten less than one-tenth of the warehouse’s insects before its belly became round and tight.

And this was just one of the many insect warehouses of Jieke Company. In addition, there were several large-scale poisonous insect breeding farms; after all, the tens of thousands of citizens in the Mande Region were almost all rearing and catching insects. Daily, a massive quantity of poisonous insects was purchased by Jieke Company, which was already far beyond the thousand-hand centipede’s dietary needs.

“Its size is growing slower.” Su Jie watched the thousand-hand centipede eat and frowned slightly.

His concern was not with the amount the thousand-hand centipede consumed but the fact that after eating so many poisonous insects and snakes, there were hardly any signs of evolution.

In the past, the thousand-hand centipede’s size could almost always be seen increasing after devouring a large amount of poisonous insects.

The current situation further confirmed one thing: regular poison insects and snakes were becoming less and less effective for the thousand-hand centipede, almost approaching zero.

Fortunately, Su Jie had anticipated this. His occupation of the Mande Region was preparation for this very challenge.

Only by capturing poisonous insects from the Tianyuan World and breeding them on Blue Star, using Blue Star’s insect resources to enable their rapid evolution and quality enhancement, and then feeding them to the thousand-hand centipede, could he maintain its growth speed.

“It’s about time to go back and catch some poisonous insects from Insect Valley,” Su Jie’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He had initially fled from the Black Market under duress, but now, with greatly increased strength, cultivation at the Fifth Level of Yunling Realm, the thousand-hand centipede advanced to Low Grade Three Refinements, and mastery of the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, Su Jie now had the confidence to face everything in Tianyuan World once again.
