Peerless War God

The sound of the variant golden nematode gnawing on the food resounded in Chen Xiao's ears. His eyes widened in disbelief as he realized that he had actually eaten it all.    

It had to be known that the material used to make this rod magic tool was extremely heavy, weighing several thousand jin. Even if an ordinary cultivator were to swing it in their hands, they would still feel a great weight.    

However, the variant golden threadworm effortlessly devoured it all, as if it was eating and drinking. It was truly magical.    

Not only that, but after completely devouring the stick magic tool, the variant golden nematode had clearly become thicker. It had also expanded by quite a bit, and the golden luster on its body had also become brighter.    

The aura emitted from its body also became stronger.    

"Sure enough, after devouring this metal object, this variant golden nematode will evolve and become stronger." Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao's guess from before was confirmed.    

When he had first seen the variant golden nematode from a depth of one hundred thousand meters, he had been shocked by its destructive power.    

The more metallic objects it devoured, the stronger its natural energy would be.    

Chen Xiao held his chin with one hand and stared at the golden nematode with his eyes. At this moment, the nematode stopped moving and stayed where it was, curled into a golden ball and seemed to be digesting the energy.    

When he first went to hunt the Iron Back Sea Dragon, his goal was to find a body suitable to refine a Spirit Embryo.    

The Iron Back Sea Dragon was undoubtedly the most compatible with this aspect. It possessed an incomparable amount of vital energy and blood, as well as its innate divine ability, the Boundless Water Boundary.    

If he could use it as the foundation to refine a spirit embryo, he would definitely succeed.    

However, never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the severely injured Iron Back Sea Dragon Beast would be eaten by this golden nematode.    

Right now, he didn't have much choice but to use the variant golden nematode to refine his spirit embryo.    

Judging from the abilities displayed by its target, the variant golden nematode was clearly much stronger than the Sea Draconic Beast with Iron Back Sea Dragon's body. However, it didn't have a strong vital energy or blood nor any innate ability.    

The only thing that could be considered as peculiar was the ability to devour metal objects.    

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao decided to give it a try first. As for whether he would really use the variant golden nematode to refine the spirit embryo, that would depend on the situation.    

At this time, the variant golden nematode began to move again, and its golden body was extremely beautiful.    

It seemed like it had digested most of the food and was continuing to search for the next one.    

Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat as he took out another Severing Dharma tool. He threw it on the ground and fed it as if it was his.    

Even though it was only a broken blade, and the tip of the blade was long gone, it was only a low-ranked Protocosmic spirit-treasure. It could not be considered as very precious.    

However, it was better than measuring one's foot. The broken saber alone was over ten feet long and weighed over 7000 jins.    

With so many spiritual iron materials, if he were to use them to forge a new one, he would definitely be able to forge a brand-new, undamaged low-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasure.    

However, there were too many of such things in Chen Xiao's hands. He didn't feel bad about it at all, it was a good fit to feed the variant golden nematode, so it was worth it.    

"I want to quietly find out what's so special about you. How much of this metal can you consume?"    

He leaned back in his chair and watched the mutated golden threadworm with interest after it finished its feeding.    

Beside him stood the soul fragments of the Demon God Black Spirit. It was full of oppression. He didn't say a word. He opened his eyes, glanced at them, then once again closed them and concentrated on his cultivation.    

Ever since Chen Xiao had obtained the Demon Area Technique, he had spent most of his time on studying this technique. He did indeed have some insights.    

Based on Chen Xiao's limited knowledge of the Infernal domain's characters, although this Blood Drying Art was very effective, it was actually very common in the Infernal domain.    

Any Demon Region soldier would have practiced this technique. It was extremely easy to learn it, but to cultivate it to a high and profound realm was extremely difficult.    

Luckily, Chen Xiao was talented and had an extraordinarily high comprehension ability, so it was not difficult for him.    

Now, all he needed was to refine a suitable spiritual embryo.    

At the foot of his feet, the variant golden nematode crawled all over the blade of the broken blade and began to eat it at an unhurried pace. It looked extremely slow, but it was unstoppable.    

Chen Xiao was mesmerized by what he saw and kept praising it. He had really never seen such a strange beast before.    

He would even need to put a big question if the variant golden nematode could sustain a beast or not. However, the more powerful it was, the better it was for him.    

Soon, the broken knife was finished. The golden threadworm curled itself into a ball of golden threads and began to digest itself.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly had an idea. He slightly frowned and walked out of the secret room.    

With a creak, the door to the secret room was pushed open from the inside.    

At the entrance, Yue Yao, Ni Chang, Xiao Ling, and even Qing Xuan and A'Yin were seated cross-legged as they cultivated in silence, serious expressions on their faces.    

Its purpose was self-evident. It was to take care of Chen Xiao, in case something happened.    

Chen Xiao had already known and advised them. He had also spent a lot of saliva, but it was all useless. He didn't even bother trying to persuade them anymore and just let them do as they pleased.    

Seeing Chen Xiao walk out of the secret room with a dark expression, the girls' hearts skipped a beat and a hint of worry and gloominess appeared in their eyes.    

"But what happened?" Yue Yao went forward and pulled Chen Xiao's arm as she asked with concern.    

"Brother." Qing Xuan also moved forward.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said with a calm face, "It's fine, I have to go out."    

Under the worried gazes of the girls, Chen Xiao left in big strides, opened a defensive array, and flew out of the temporary cave.    

After exiting the cave, he briefly confirmed his direction and flew towards a mountain to the south.    

Just as he was in the secret chamber, he received a familiar sound transmission. He had no choice but to treat it with extreme caution.    

The other party's background was not small, and he was also extremely powerful. He was able to directly pass through so many defensive arrays and transmit his voice into his ears. Only a Heavenly Tribulation Realm expert would be able to accomplish such a feat.    

With a flash, Chen Xiao flew to the place where his telepathic thoughts could sense something.    

At some point in time, a pavilion had suddenly appeared at the top of an ordinary mountain range. This pavilion was made entirely out of ash-grey rocks, and it was obvious that it was man-made.    

Chen Xiao could easily create such a pavilion for himself.    

But to be as exquisite and beautiful as this without the slightest flaw, his skill was far from enough.    

Currently, an old man with a white beard was sitting inside the stone pavilion. It was the elder from the Great Treasure Pavilion.    

He quickly rushed into the pavilion, clasped his hands, and greeted, "Greetings, Senior. I don't know why Senior has come to find this kid."
