Chapter 1109: Chapter 1065: Shadow Binding Kill
Three days later, Emperor Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou gathered all the cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm within Jiguang City and informed them about the latest situation with the Soul-devouring Worms.
The good news was that the direction in which the Soul-devouring Worms were advancing did not point toward any of the human race’s five cities.
However, there was also bad news; for some unknown reason, these Soul-devouring Worms had split into many small swarms, drifting throughout the Black Stone Domain.
According to what the human scouts saw and after exchanging messages with other allied races, this batch of Soul-devouring Worms had split into no less than a hundred swarms.
There are few records of the Soul-devouring Worms within the Black Stone Domain.
For this reason, a race closest to Meng City went directly to inquire with the Wu Meng Clan, only to find that the Wu Meng Clan also found the behavior of the Soul-devouring Worms strange.
According to the Wu Meng Clan, the Soul-devouring Worms are only interested in areas with high Vital Energy and essence force, as this incites a gnawing urge in them.
In a remote place like the Black Stone Domain, even if Soul-devouring Worms appear, it should only be a simple passing through.
But from the current situation, it seems that the Soul-devouring Worms are not merely passing through; it’s as if they are searching for something in the Black Stone Domain.
The Wu Meng Clan currently has no idea what the Soul-devouring Worms might be looking for.
Facing these disaster-like worms, the Wu Meng Clan usually keeps a respectful distance. If encountered, they, like this time, stay far away and don’t wish to provoke them.
“Emperor, what should we do now?” a cultivator of the Rule Integration Realm asked, frowning.
“Be ready to evacuate the residents of Jiguang City at any moment. As soon as the situation changes, leave Jiguang City immediately,” Weng Zongfang said softly.
Facing the Soul-devouring Worms, the only thing the human race can do is to avoid them.
These Soul-devouring Worms have split into so many swarms, which seems to weaken their power, but in reality, even with many batches, the number of worms in each batch is still terrifyingly large.
With the current power of the human race, facing any batch of Soul-devouring Worms would be a situation of certain death.
Avoiding them is the only choice, there are no other ways.
Chen Fei stood at the back of the hall, frowning like everyone else, because he too had no solution to this unfamiliar threat of the Soul-devouring Worms.
A short time later, everyone left the city lord’s mansion, and Chen Fei came to the front of the mansion’s storeroom.
“Why have you come? There is nothing to exchange in the storeroom now.”
The doors of the storeroom opened, revealing Zhuo Mingyong’s figure.
Returning to Jiguang City, Zhuo Mingyong still preferred to stay in the storeroom, not wishing to go elsewhere.
“I have seen Senior, and I wish to find information about the Soul-devouring Worms,” Chen Fei said, bowing to Zhuo Mingyong.
Compared to the last time he saw Zhuo Mingyong, which was only a few months ago, Zhuo Mingyong’s aura had become much more languid.
Zhuo Mingyong’s life was already nearing its end, and the war with the Xuan Clan greatly depleted his vitality, significantly shortening his remaining lifespan.
“There are very few records about the Soul-devouring Worms in our clan.”
Hearing Chen Fei’s purpose, Zhuo Mingyong shook his head slightly; Chen Fei was not the first Rule Integration Realm cultivator to seek records on the Soul-devouring Worms.
Zhuo Mingyong led Chen Fei into the storeroom, and after a short time, the two stopped in front of a row of bookshelves.
“These few books have recorded some information about the Soul-devouring Worms; after you copy them, you can take them directly.”
Zhuo Mingyong extended his right hand, and a total of five books flew into his palm, which he then handed to Chen Fei.
These were some records of the human race and of the Black Stone Domain, also briefly touching upon other places in the Return to Nothing Realm, not considered particularly precious information.
“Tces before; are you interested in the Shadow secondary rule? I happen to have some personal insights here. After you achieve the Emperor Realm in the future, you can take a look at them.”
“They’re not particularly profound insights, after all, even I haven’t been able to control a complete secondary rule. Maybe in the future, you can pass them on if you see someone suitable,” Zhuo Mingyong said, with a self-deprecating smile, a touch of melancholy in his eyes.
Every Rule Integration Realm cultivator dreams of breaking through to the peak of the Rule Integration Realm and controlling a complete secondary rule, but in the end, only a small number can do so.
Chen Fei is an exceptional talent, and Zhuo Mingyong understood this. If there was anyone who could make his insights shine, it would likely be Chen Fei.
None of the other promising cultivators of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm have the time to consider learnings from someone at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm as they are still diligently practicing Emperor inheritances.
Only Chen Fei seemed to welcome all sorts of inheritances with open arms.
“Thank you for bestowing this technique on me, Senior!” said Chen Fei.
orms was already sparse, much of it hearsay.
The only thing that was somewhat beneficial to Chen Fei was a small story recorded in them.
It spoke of how, in times long past, the Black Stone Domain was not just a corner of the Return to Nothing Realm, but rather part of the territory belonging to a powerful Race.
The time was completely untraceable, and back then, the human race was extremely weak, without even a cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm. They were at the mercy of disasters that could easily wipe them out entirely.
Later on, for reasons unknown, that powerful Race was wiped out. Consequently, the geography of the Black Stone Domain underwent massive changes, and over countless years, it became what it is today.
This is just a story, and whether it’s true or not is completely unknown.
But combining this with the current odd behavior of the Soul-devouring Worms, could it be that some treasure from the ancient powerful Race is about to emerge?
Hence attracting Soul-devouring Worms into the Black Stone Domain, and even now they linger without leaving.
Chen Fei set down the jade scrolls of the ancient records and took out the one given to him by Zhuo Mingyong, studying it earnestly.
After only a few glances, Chen Fei’s expression became serious. An hour later, he put the jade scroll down, his eyes filled with surprise.
When Zhuo Mingyong had handed over the jade scroll, Chen Fei had not equated Zhuo Mingyong’s move with the Emperor inheritances.
After all, one was in the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm, while the other controlled a secondary Rule, at the Peak of the Rule Integration Realm—there was a clear gap between the two.
But as Chen Fei read through the scroll given by Zhuo Mingyong, his perspective immediately shifted.
It was intricate and peerless!
Moreover, it was evident that Zhuo Mingyong spent a great deal of time perfecting and enhancing this move.
Shadow Binding Kill!
The effect of the move, as the name implies, utilizes the power of the Shadow Rule to bind and strangle the opponent.
Shadow binding is not particularly astonishing; what’s truly exquisite about this move is that, under extreme circumstances, it can almost leverage a secondary Shadow Rule to bind the opponent.
In a desperate situation, Zhuo Mingyong could unleash power close to that of the Emperor Realm.
Even though it’s only one move, it’s already quite astounding.
A typical late-stage Rule Integration Realm practitioner wouldn’t be able to exhibit the power of the Emperor Realm, even by using forbidden techniques.
However, doing so would naturally have extremely severe consequences—certain death without doubt, even more absolute than using forbidden techniques.
Zhuo Mingyong didn’t intend for Chen Fei to go down with the ship by giving him this Shadow Binding Kill.
y Races were forced to abandon their cities and flee.
In addition to the tyranny of the Soul-devouring Worms, those Scavengers that followed in the wake of the Worms began to revel.
How these Scavengers had managed to do it was uncertain, but the Soul-devouring Worms did not attack them for a short time, as if there was some sort of pact signed between them.
The result was that these Scavengers not only followed the Soul-devouring Worms, collecting remnants from the besieged Race’s cities, but they even started to attack certain Race cities proactively to profit from them.
On this day, a gigantic ringing of a bell erupted suddenly from Jiguang City, signaling that Soul-devouring Worms were surging towards it.
