Chapter 1359

On the barren land, Gu Chen used the Treading Stars and Moon Steps. His eyes glowed with a deep purple light as he quickly passed through one area after another.

Everywhere he passed, so long as there were strange flowers, rare herbs, and rare ores, they would all be taken away by him.

The Primal Chaos Mystic Land was too rich. There were treasures everywhere. In just two hours, Gu Chen had collected many rare spiritual herbs and precious ores.

Some of the treasures, even he could not identify their specific uses.

The huge harvest delighted Gu Chen, and he became more agile in his plundering.

Occasionally, a beast born in the mystic land would attack him, but he easily shook them off.

He did not want to kill in this place. Even stopping for ten breaths of time to deal with a beast was not a small loss to him.

Boom!

After smashing a small mountain with a punch, Gu Chen took out a piece of ore filled with rich fire energy. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Under his Deep Sea Purple Eyes, most treasures could not hide from him. Even if they were hidden deep in the mountains or underground, as long as they emitted a strange light, he would be able to detect them.

With this unique eye technique, he had already dug out more than ten top-grade ores of different attributes along the way.

These ores only needed to be polished slightly to become the core of a chaos spiritual treasure. They could be sold for a sky-high price in the outside world.

Buzz buzz buzz —

It seemed that the commotion from smashing the mountain was a little too loud. In the distance, a large group of light appeared. It was some kind of unknown insect swarm.

Gu Chen was not surprised by this situation. Although there were few living creatures in this mystic land, because he had never seen other living creatures, they were all very fierce.

The slightest movement could easily provoke them.

Gu Chen smiled. He did not intend to be entangled with them. He immediately fled in the other direction as fast as he could.

However, this insect swarm was much more persistent than the beasts he had encountered before. They actually chased after him with great perseverance.

Gu Chen quickened his pace, trying to shake them off so that he could continue his treasure hunt.

Buzz —

Ahead of him, another group of light appeared. It seemed to be the same kind of insect swarm.

"There are quite a lot of them."

Gu Chen was secretly shocked. He changed his direction and continued to escape. The two swarms of insects were hot on his heels.

There were probably tens of thousands of insects in these two swarms, and they were not letting go of Gu Chen. Their speed was not slow either, and they gradually attracted his attention.

Under his observation, these fierce insects looked like beetles, but they had prism-like silver armor and were much larger.

Buzz.

The third swarm appeared in front of Gu Chen's escape route, causing his expression to turn serious.

Obviously, these vicious bugs knew how to call and communicate. Seeing that they couldn't catch up to him, they notified their own kind to encircle him.

There weren't many living beings in the Primal Chaos Mystic Land, but there were so many of them. Clearly, they were the overlords of this mystic land.

Gu Chen wasn't sure how many of these fierce insects were in this secret place. To prevent more from being attracted, and to avoid attracting the attention of other powerful monsters or competitors, he decided to take action.

With a flip of his hand, he took out the Five Elements Spiritual Fan and fanned it with force!

Divine Dao, Five Elements Disorder!

The terrifying power of the five elements — metal, wood, water, fire, and earth — spread out in all directions, engulfing the three swarms of insects in the explosion!

After the explosion, the ground was littered with insect corpses. Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to leave this place.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Something unexpected happened. The insect corpses on the ground struggled and rolled for a while. Then, they wobbled and flew up again.

The silver armor on their bodies glowed continuously. The violent power of the five elements seemed to be unable to kill them!

Hiss.

Gu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. He had really misjudged them. These insects that were born at the beginning of the primal chaos were not simple.

He waved the Five Elements Spiritual Fan a few more times, but he soon discovered that the power of the five elements had little effect on them. They seemed to be immune to this aspect of power!

Gu Chen frowned. A Tyrannical Grand Map appeared behind him. His hands transformed into the Overlord Spear, and he used pure attack and destruction.

Peng, peng, peng, peng, peng!

Like rain falling on a banana leaf, this unknown insectoid's silver mirror armor was simply heaven-defying. With a flash of mirror light, most of the force seemed to have been dissipated. Only a small part of it could not withstand his attack and died.

Gu Chen was even more moved. Not only were they immune to dao technique attacks, their bodies were also indestructible. This unknown insect was too terrifying!

Luckily, this secret place had not become a real world yet. Otherwise, if this unknown insect continued to develop and multiply, it would definitely become the overlord of this world, just like how the human race ruled over other worlds.

"Duo —"

Dao techniques and pure strength were not enough. The soul mark on Gu Chen's forehead glowed brightly. He turned to use a spiritual attack!

Rolling sound waves rippled out, and the unknown insect immediately fell from the sky like dumplings!

They fell to the ground and did not get up again. Very quickly, all their vitality disappeared.

Gu Chen only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that they were really dead.

Luckily, this insect's soul was weak. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot more time today.

Looking at the ground littered with insect corpses, Gu Chen's eyes flashed.

This unknown insect had terrifying potential. In this primordial environment, it was obvious that it was favored by the great dao laws.

Even if such creatures were dead, their corpses would be very valuable.

Gu Chen thought about it and whistled. He summoned many Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies from within his body.

The moment the butterflies appeared, they surrounded Gu Chen and danced around him. They were filled with joy.

"I haven't fed you in a long time. Go on."

Gu Chen looked at the ground littered with insect corpses and let the butterflies feed.

The Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies were evolved from the Demonic Heaven Devouring Insects. In theory, they had the ability to evolve endlessly.

However, after Gu Chen entered the Dao Querying Realm, their usefulness decreased. Most of the time, they could only serve as his eyes. They could not be like when he was at the Immortal Supremacy Realm, where they could kill with him.

The insects that he had just dealt with were much stronger than the Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies. They could pose a fatal threat to ordinary Dao Querying Realm cultivators.

Gu Chen thought about the Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies' ability to devour and evolve. He hoped that they would be able to gain some benefits from the first insect race that was born in the primordial world.

After giving the order, Gu Chen looked at the Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies uneasily.

He was not sure if the Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies would be interested in this unknown insect race. After all, they came from different worlds. The difference was too great.

The Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies flapped their wings and curiously and cautiously flew to the side of the insect corpses. They sized up the insect corpses as though they were testing them.

In a short while, their eyes turned heated. They opened their mouths and pierced the insect corpses in front of them!

They started to devour the insect corpses on the ground. At the start, only a portion of them did so. The rest hovered low in the air and did not dare to move.
