Chapter 2227

Tens of thousands of years later, their names have been forgotten in the long river of history. The people who live and work in peace and contentment in this world also do not know that in the distant past, such a thrilling battle once took place.

Only one old man silently guards their unadorned tombs. Only these tombs record the great achievements they once made, and only here can one recall the contributions they made to this piece of heaven and earth.

“The result of that battle, I think you have also seen.” Tian Yan’s face showed a sad expression as he pointed to the dozens of tombs in front.

Yang Kai was filled with solemn respect and deeply bowed to these tombs.

Standing up straight, he asked again, “What about the Soul Eater Insect？ Was it exterminated？”

Tian Yan slowly shook his head and said sadly, “To be honest, although a huge price was paid, the Soul Eater Insect… really cannot be exterminated by the living beings in this world.”

Yang Kai’s complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, “Senior means… the Soul Eater Insect is still alive？”

Tian Yan nodded.

“How could this be？” Yang Kai suddenly felt a bit sad. So many powerful experts here had died in order to exterminate the Soul Devouring Insects, but they had paid the price of their lives and ultimately failed. Didn’t that mean their sacrifices didn’t have much value？

Thinking of this, Yang Kai was shocked and said, “Where is the Soul Devouring Insect now？”

“Come with me!” the old man said, and once again used his strength to wrap Yang Kai. With a flash, they arrived in the front of the dark altar. He waved his hand to disperse the thick fog here, revealing the altar and pointed at the altar with a look of dread, saying, The insects that caused chaos in this world back then were all sealed within it!

There was no need for him to say it. Yang Kai had already felt it.

Because when he just appeared here, the Soul Devouring Insect staying in the Warm God Lotus unexpectedly rioted uncontrollably, as if it wanted to break free from Yang Kai’s restraint and fly out of his body.

And at the same time, a buzzing sound came from within the altar, forming a strange resonance with the Soul Devouring Insect on the Warm God Lotus.

Yang Kai’s complexion changed drastically.

“So you really have Soul-devouring Insects.” The old man looked at him with a complicated gaze. “It was precisely because of their commotion that I noticed something and went to the Heavenly Monster Mountain to look for the reason. But by the time I arrived there, you were already gone. However… I have been guarding this place for tens of thousands of years and am extremely familiar with thesmell of the Soul-devouring Insects. I felt that uniquesmell in the Heavenly Monster Mountain, and after asking the Demon King of the Heavenly Monster Mountain, I chased you to the Divine Wander City.”

“Senior, don’t worry. My Soul-devouring Insects are not powerful and will not cause any harm to this world. Moreover… when I leave this place, I will definitely take them away.” Yang Kai said quickly.

He thought that Tianyan brought him here to leave the Soul-devouring Insects behind, so he quickly explained.

“Little Friend Yang misunderstood.” Tianyan slowly shook his head. “I don’t want your Soul-devouring Insects. This world was almost destroyed because of these insects. How could I leave more Soul-devouring Insects behind? Bringing you here is just to ask you to do me a favor.”

“What favor?” Yang Kai was at a loss.

“I ask you… to take them away as well! Tianyan said, pointing at the dark altar.

Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, and he said dryly, “Senior is joking.” He explained, “My Soul Devouring Insects are still relatively weak, and moreover, I obtained them a long time ago, so I can still control them to some extent. But the Soul Devouring Insects sealed here… I’m afraid I’m powerless.”

These sealed Soul Devouring Insects had devoured dozens of Third-Order Emperor Venerables. How could Yang Kai dare to touch them？ If he really took them into the Warm God Lotus, it wouldn’t be long before he died without a burial place.

“They are no longer as powerful as they used to be.” Tian Yan said. “They have been sealed for tens of thousands of years and have not received the nourishment of souls. They are already extremely weak. Since you have a way to control your Soul Devouring Insects, don’t you have a way to control them？”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “Senior overestimates me… Previously, I could still control my Soul Devouring Insects, but less than twenty days after entering this place, my insects have shown signs of not listening to orders. After going out this time I myself still have to find a way…”

Speaking up to this point, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.

Seeing his appearance, Tian Yan couldn’t help but be invigorated and looked at him expectantly.

He had been guarding this place for tens of thousands of years and had never left Fog Valley On the one hand he was guarding the graves of those old friends, and on the other hand, he was also guarding the Soul Devouring Insects.

But the Soul Devouring Insects are always a hidden danger in this world. If they can be sent out of this world and the future troubles can be completely eradicated, that would definitely be what Tian Yan hopes to see the most.

So after perceiving the awakening of the Soul Devouring Insects in the altar, he immediately rushed to look for the reason found Yang Kai, and put forward this request to him.

After a long while, Yang Kai raised his head, with a brilliant light shining in his eyes, and asked, “May I ask senior, how powerful are these sealed Soul Devouring Insects now？”

Hearing this, Tian Yan replied seriously, “According to my estimation, even if they are slightly stronger than your Soul Devouring Insects now, they won’t be much stronger.”

“Just like this？” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he heard this, “If it’s just like this, maybe there is still a chance.”

“What do you mean by that？” Tian Yan askedfeel uncertainly.

Yang Kai said seriously, “Presumably senior also knows that there is a big difference between the outside world and here. Although the Soul Devouring Insects are lawless here, there are still many means and methods to deal with them in the outside world. I have a strange treasure in my hand, which is naturally the nemesis of all kinds of strange insects and bugs…”

“There is actually such a thing？” Tian Yan’s spirit was shaken.

“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded. “I originally planned to use this treasure to subdue my own Soul Devouring Insects after leaving here, so that they will obediently follow orders in the future. If the Soul Devouring Insects sealed here are not too strong, I might as well subdue them all together.”

The thing he was referring to was naturally the Insect Slave Bracelet left behind by the Insect Emperor.

This thing has a very significant restraining effect on all kinds of strange insects. The Soul Devouring Insects will definitely not be able to resist its power. Of course, the premise is that the Soul Devouring Insects are not too strong. If they are so strong that they can even devour the Emperor Realm, Yang Kai would not dare to act recklessly.

However, after getting Tian Yan’s answer, a thought that made him eager to try emerged in the depths of Yang Kai’s heart.

“With the help of this treasure, it is indeed worth a try.” Tian Yan’s expression was excited. But I don’t know how much confidence you have? I brought you here and made this request to you, just to give it a try. If it is too dangerous, forget it. At worst, I will guard it for another tens of thousands of years.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “I have a great deal of confidence, but I still need Senior’s help.”

Tian Yan said, “Just say whatever you need.”

Yang Kai said, “My Soul Devouring Insects are fine. Although they are a bit unruly now, they won’t harm me. But if the Soul Devouring Insects sealed here are handed over to me to take away, they will surely enter my Soul Body. I need senior to seal them slightly, so that I can resist them.”

This is exactly what he is worried about.

To take away the Soul Devouring Insects, they must first be taken into the body.

If they suddenly attack, how can Yang Kai resist？ Moreover, after he goes out this time, he still needs to refine the Slave Insect Bracelet and definitely cannot be too much interfered. If he gets involved in a fight with the Soul Devouring Insects, he simply cannot refine that Emperor Treasure.

To Yang Kai’s surprise, after he made this request, Tian Yan actually showed a difficult expression.

Yang Kai wondered, “Is this matter very difficult for senior？”

Tian Yan looked at him and nodded slightly.

Yang Kai was shocked and said, “How could it be？ According to what senior said, these Soul Devouring Insects are already extremely weak, and senior’s cultivation base is extremely high…”

“With my strength, it is naturally easy to intimidate them for a while, but… I can’t leave this world with you. If I’m gone, the Soul Devouring Insects will surely have no restraint.”

Yang Kai widened his eyes and stared at Tian Yan in astonishment, pointing at the altar and saying, “But senior, how did you seal them back then？”

The Soul Devouring Insects back then were definitely ten thousand times stronger than they are now. Since they were sealed back then, why can’t they be sealed now？

Yang Kai couldn’t quite figure it out.

Tian Yan said, “I’m ashamed！ This seal was not my doing.”

Yang Kai raised his brows and exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be… the combined strength of everyone at that time？”

“Sort of.” Tian Yan nodded slightly. “But there was another force involved, otherwise how could they have been sealed for so long？”

“What force？” Yang Kai asked.

Tian Yan didn’t speak but pointed upwards.

Yang Kai was first dazed, then suddenly realized, and then shocked, crying out in surprise, “The power of heaven and earth！ Jing Hun？”

Tian Yan said, This world has its own will and laws. The Soul Devouring Insects destroy all living beings and ruin the world which is intolerable to the power of heaven and earth. Under the arrival of the laws, it was only then those of us back then had the opportunity to seal the Soul Devouring Insects! After all, no matter how powerful our strength is, to the Soul Devouring Insects, it is just food. Only when the power of heaven and earth forms a layer of protection and is separated between the Soul Devouring Insects and our strength can their devouring be prevented.”

With his explanation, Yang Kai immediately understood.

This seal is probably divided into two layers. One layer is the will of the Mirror Soul, which is precisely the great power of this world. The other layer is the power of those many powerful beings. Only when the two layers of power combine into one can the Soul Devouring Insects be sealed for tens of thousands of years. None can be lacking.

Can senior allow this junior to communicate slightly with this great power of the world？

Because at this moment, he suddenly thought of Granny You’s previous plan.

She wanted to snatch the Warm God Lotus, and the biggest purpose was to use the Warm God Lotus as a carrier to carry the Mirror Soul and refine this world.

If Yang Kai could communicate with the Mirror Soul a little, there might not be no chance to do this.

Once successful, then he would become the master of the Divine Wander Mirror, and could enter it at any time and place to temper his Divine Soul in the future.
