Chapter 287: Entering the Worm Nest

The other worm was tightly suppressed by the twelve Primordial Spirit Gods, unable to move. It could only watch helplessly as its companion was knocked away and eventually taken away. Waves of despair radiated from its mind.
“Hmph!”
Chen Xiao’s expression was cold. He turned his ship and charged straight at the other blood-colored worm, knocking it away with a single strike.
“What a brutal creature! A worm as big as a satellite was knocked away by his ship?”
The twelve Primordial Spirit Gods at the second stage of the Primordial Spirit were completely subdued by Chen Xiao. Just moments ago, it had taken all of them working together to barely suppress one worm. As for Zi Ling, the strongest among them, even he had to pay a heavy price to kill a blood-colored worm. If not for Chen Xiao’s arrival, Zi Ling would likely have perished this time.
“A True Spirit Divine Artifact, an envoy of the Divine King—truly extraordinary…” mused a red-haired Fire-type Primordial Spirit God.
At this moment, Chen Xiao paid no attention to anything else. He rushed headlong at the last blood-colored worm, knocking it dizzy before finally knocking it unconscious. The power from his Main God Space was unleashed once again, capturing it inside.
Chen Xiao glanced back at Zi Ling and found that he was severely injured. He was now in a critical state, fully focused on recovering without any defense against Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao then looked at the other twelve True Spirit Gods. They had joined forces to seal this worm nest, which resembled a star, to prevent more worms from escaping.
However, this worm nest was terrifyingly large, containing power far beyond that of a star. Moreover, it housed countless powerful entities, too many for the twelve Primordial Spirit Gods at the second stage to seal. The True Gods who had followed them had already been completely overwhelmed by the swarm of worms; tens of thousands of them were left barely alive.
“These gods are truly insane.”
After a brief hesitation, Chen Xiao steered his dark warship straight into a swarm of golden worms. In just a few strikes, he knocked them unconscious and brought them into his Main God Space, using the laws within to subdue them.
“Damn it, this can’t go on.” Chen Xiao’s strength couldn’t last much longer. He had been relying on the combined power of Nine Extremes to propel his ship. But if he used Nine Extremes too frequently, even with the protection of a divine artifact, his body would collapse.
“Leave this place?” Chen Xiao shook his head slightly as he looked at the twelve Primordial Spirit Gods sealing the worm nest and Zi Ling, who was now in a critical state behind him.
“Although the safety of the universe doesn’t really concern me, what if these worms make it to Earth? Can the Guardians handle them?”
Chen Xiao took a deep breath of air that didn’t exist in the universe. His dark warship surged forward, heading straight for the vast and immense worm nest.
“Xixi, you bastard, come out!”
With a loud shout, Chen Xiao threw Xixi out of his Main God Space.

“Protect those people well. If one of them dies, I’ll starve you for a hundred years,” Chen Xiao said viciously to Xi Xi.
Xi Xi held her head and slowly raised it, looking at Chen Xiao with a pained expression.
“Hm? Insects? Where did so many insects come from?” Xi Xi curiously stared at the terrifying insects in that area, but her eyes showed only curiosity, no fear.
“Protect them.” Chen Xiao waved his hand and sent the Purple Spirit in front of Xi Xi.
Xi Xi’s strength was unknown—those 108 Beast Gods were all at the peak of the Second Layer of Yuanling Deity. It took the combined power of all 108 deities to barely seal her. Her strength was thus evident.
Moreover, she had now consumed a Black Tortoise Egg, using its Black Tortoise Spirit as wings, making her strength far greater than before.
Xi Xi nodded vaguely, casually threw the Purple Spirit into her divine realm, then transformed into a beam of golden light and rushed forward.
“Break the seal!”
Chen Xiao’s thoughts transmitted as a voice, reaching the ears of the twelve Yuanling Gods.
The twelve Yuanling Gods were slightly stunned. Seeing Chen Xiao arrive on his warship, they understood what he intended and showed expressions of admiration.
After a brief hesitation, the twelve released the seal, allowing Chen Xiao to pass through.
Chen Xiao smirked coldly and steered his dark warship straight into the terrifying insect nest.
Each entrance to the nest was almost as large as Earth. His dark warship was nothing but a speck of dust in comparison.
At that moment, these entrances were sealed by the power of the Yuanling Gods. Inside, countless insects were desperately trying to devour those seals. Yet, the power of the Second Layer Yuanling Gods was too terrifying, and the insects couldn’t break through the seals anytime soon.
Chen Xiao entered through one of the opened seals. As soon as the seal was broken, the insects swarmed over.
A cold smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face. His dark warship moved, emitting a terrifying wave of power that instantly shattered the insects to pieces.
Ordinary insects couldn’t withstand the power waves emitted by Chen Xiao’s dark warship, amplified by 81 times.
His warship wiped out all the insects in the vicinity before entering the nest.
Inside the nest, it was like a labyrinth—filled with passages everywhere, and those passages were packed with insects, making Chen Xiao’s scalp tingle.
The visual experience of these insects in these caves was completely different from the outside world.
Within Chen Xiao’s body, his primal spirit fire stirred slightly. Instantly, hundreds of voids emerged, enveloping the entire dark warship. In the next moment, the dark warship disappeared from that space.
The dark warship had begun to merge with Chen Xiao’s body, and its dark power was gradually shifting toward the attribute of “defying heaven,” following that path of void.
If all the dark power in the warship were transformed into that path, it would mean the warship had been completely refined by Chen Xiao.

The dark warship, with its changing forms, kept moving through the labyrinthine insect nest. Whenever it encountered powerful insects, those above the Void God realm, it would knock them out and bring them into the Main God’s Space.
The Main God’s Space currently lacked the power to capture living beings; even the slightest hint of resistance made it impossible to take them in.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Chen Xiao’s warship had already reached the depths of the insect nest.
