The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu-Chapter 438: Another Floating Island

With the effects of a large number of Estrus Pills, his Gold-Eating Insect had grown to a scale of over a thousand.

A swarm of over a thousand Gold-Eating Insects was already a formidable force, enough to make anyone who encountered them feel troubled.

Opening his Insect Nurturing Bag, a Heaven-Devouring World Toad inside opened its mouth, releasing a large swarm of white insects that flew out.

Gold-Eating Insect fed on third-grade Alloy Heavenly Gold. Since Heavenly Gold was white in color, the Gold-Eating Insect currently had a white appearance.

These bugs possessed immense strength, completely ignoring the effects of gravity in this place as they took to the air, forming a dense cloud of white insects.

Under the astonished gazes of all onlookers, the vicious swarm charged toward the puppets ahead.

“Young friend! The hardness of these iron-shelled puppets is such that even a Gu King’s attacks cannot damage them. Your bugs won’t be able to bite through them, don’t…”

An old man's words were abruptly cut off as he stared wide-eyed, his expression frozen in shock.

Before everyone's disbelieving eyes, the iron shells that not even a Gu King could break were being torn apart like mere paper under the razor-sharp mouths of these bugs.

In an instant, holes riddled the surface of the puppets, and the insects burrowed inside, wreaking havoc. One after another, the puppets lost functionality and collapsed onto the ground, utterly disabled.

Hearing the continuous crunch crunch sounds, a shiver ran down everyone's spines.

If even these iron shells couldn’t withstand the biting force of these bugs, what would happen if they landed on human flesh?

A look of dread surfaced in everyone's eyes as they stared at the swarm in fear.

“How is this possible?! Even the defenses of a Gu King couldn’t be broken, yet these tiny creatures shredded them so easily?” The elder cried out in disbelief. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

“What kind of monster is this? How could they chew through such tough iron shells?”

“I don’t know… I’ve never seen such terrifying Insect before. If they can bite through these iron shells, then they can easily pierce through any Gu King’s defenses. They’re practically unstoppable.”

“These bugs resemble the legendary Gold-Eating Insect. Their defensive strength matches the metal they consume, and they can bite through anything less durable than themselves.”

“But what kind of metal did he feed them to make their attack power and defense reach such a ridiculous level?”

As more and more puppets collapsed under the onslaught of the bug swarm, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

“What are you all standing around for?! The encirclement has been broken! If we don’t leave now, when will we?”

A voice suddenly shouted from within the crowd, snapping everyone back to reality. Their despair turned into elation.

They had all thought they were doomed today, resigned to their fate. But now, a miraculous turn of events had given them a chance to escape.

Relief washed over their faces as they rushed through the opening created by the bug swarm.

Meanwhile, Long Xuan’s vast insect army continued its unstoppable march, effortlessly clearing the puppets ahead as it advanced toward the center of the mining area.

With this insect army at his disposal, these puppets were no longer a threat. His confidence grew, and he immediately set his sights on the heart of the mine.

Using the farsight ability of his Heavenly Secret Eye, he saw a pitch-black Spirit Mountain at the very center of this mountainous region. He recalled reading about such mountains in ancient texts—if his memory was correct, this was an extremely rare Gravity Mountain.

As the name suggested, a Gravity Mountain was a Spirit Mountain that exerted immense gravitational force, increasing in intensity the closer one got to its center.

The entire surrounding area was affected by its gravity, with the force gradually decreasing the farther one was from the mountain until it disappeared entirely.

The overwhelming gravity that slowed movements in this region was due to the presence of this Gravity Mountain at its core.

The value of a Gravity Mountain was immeasurable. Any rock carved from it was known as Gravity Stone in the outside world—an essential material for setting up Gravity Formations and Anti-Air Formations, making it worth a fortune.

Selling off an entire mountain’s worth of these stones would generate an unimaginable amount of wealth.

However, Long Xuan had no intention of wasting such a treasure. The larger the Gravity Mountain, the greater its gravitational force. If broken down into small pieces, although valuable, its effect would be greatly diminished.

He planned to refine the entire mountain into a treasure, reinforcing it with formations. In battle, he could hurl the mountain at his enemies—under the immense gravitational pull, they wouldn’t even be able to flee, only to be crushed into pulp.

A sinister smile spread across Long Xuan’s face. Soon, his Heaven-Devouring World Toad would have another floating island inside its body.

This Gravity Floating Island could also serve as a training ground for body refinement. Climbing a Gravity Mountain would undoubtedly be highly effective for strengthening the body. This mountain was his, without question.

Filled with excitement, Long Xuan rushed toward the mountain’s center. With each step closer, the gravitational force grew stronger.

However, he had cultivated the unparalleled Purgatory True Demon Technique, making his physique absurdly powerful. The increasing gravity was something he could still endure.

But while he could handle it, those following him could not.

Seeing how effortlessly Long Xuan’s insect army had torn through the puppets, the Spirit Sea Realm Gu cultivators had latched onto him like a lifeline, following closely behind for protection. Wherever he went, they followed.

But not everyone possessed Long Xuan’s monstrous physical strength. Before long, most of them could no longer bear the crushing gravity and were forced to stop.

The deeper he went, the fewer people remained. Eventually, everyone had fallen behind—except for one person: Shui Juanyun, who stuck to him like a shadow.

Glancing at Shui Juanyun from the corner of his eye, Long Xuan silently sighed. As expected of the former top genius of the Shui Clan. Body refinement is definitely not his weakness. He’s followed me this far without even breaking a sweat. His physical endurance was leagues beyond the others.

Among those of the same rank, only Shui Juanyun could compare to Long Xuan’s physique and engage him in close combat.

But just as Long Xuan was shocked by Shui Juanyun, Shui Juanyun was equally astonished by Long Xuan’s physical prowess.

Although his expression remained calm, he was struggling internally—his situation was far from as effortless as it seemed.

Watching the tireless figure running ahead, Shui Juanyun’s expression grew increasingly grave.

Who is this person? His physical strength surpasses that of most Gu Kings. Is he even human?

Even a spirit beast wouldn’t possess such an absurd physique…

A storm of disbelief raged within Shui Juanyun’s heart. A monster like this could not possibly be an unknown nobody.

Who exactly is he?
