Chapter 1277

Calamity in the Sea of Bitterness

In the Emperor's Tomb, the huge black storm was still sweeping, as if it would never change.

However, if one were to take a closer look, one would see that there were countless black Qi bursting out from the black storm and spreading in all directions. These black Qi were like dark clouds that spread towards the depths of the Sea of Bitterness. Within the black Qi, there were ferocious human figures that were constantly wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.

On the Excellent Spirit Island, countless warriors raised their heads to look at the sky. They all saw the dark clouds that covered the sky in the direction of the Emperor's Tomb.

"What is that?

There seems to be some kind of creature within the black clouds? "

The gazes of many warriors were quite sharp. With a glance, they saw the strange human figure that was continuously surging within the black cloud. The faint ghostly wails and wolf howls that were faintly emitted caused many warriors to feel a chill in their hearts.

The Excellent Spirit Island was naturally not the closest island to the Emperor's Tomb. Those islands that were closer were already covered by the black clouds. Following that, many warriors on the Excellent Spirit Island were horrified to discover that strange human figures were descending from the depths of the black clouds.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"… …"

Miserable cries suddenly rang out continuously. Following that, the warriors on the Excellent Spirit Island discovered that the islands that the black clouds passed were filled with endless fishy winds, accompanied by miserable cries.

"What exactly is that thing?

That thing seems to be devouring the flesh of the warriors? "

The closest island to the Excellent Spirit Island was already covered by the black clouds. At this moment, the warriors on the Excellent Spirit Island finally saw the human figures that were constantly moving within the black clouds.

They saw that these human figures had insect-like heads, and their bodies were covered with tough shells. They looked extremely terrifying. What was even more strange was that these strange human figures actually had twelve arms.

There were many of these strange creatures in the black clouds. They were densely packed. At a glance, one's scalp would go numb.

Swoosh!

Three Sun and Moon Shuttles cut through the void and instantly landed in the main city in the center of the island. Nine figures walked out of the Sun and Moon Shuttles. They were Moyan Wushang, Canaan, Gatha, Soft Note, Mo Lingtian, Zhuowen's Buddhist avatar, Lv Yitao, Clear Lotus, and Fallen Star.

Because Zhuowen had the Hundred Transformation Technique, he could completely alter the appearance of the Buddhist avatar, making it no different from the main body.

"We have to find Grandmaster Lan Miao and the others as soon as possible. Right now, in the academy, only they have enough power to mobilize enough manpower and resources to defend against the incoming attack of the Sky Worm Clone."

After getting off the Sun Moon Shuttle, Moyan Wu Shang said as he walked towards Jia Shen College. Because of the existence of Zhuowen's Buddhist avatar, they knew what had happened in the Emperor's Tomb. At the same time, they also knew that these strange figures were the Heavenly Insect Avatars.

In the square of the Arcane Tower, Grandmaster Lan Miao, Grandmaster Tusita, Grandmaster Tian Yi, and Grandmaster Wu Kong gathered together. The four of them were Mu Feng's direct disciples. Their mental strength was at the Complete Sixth Grade.

Although that was the case, the four of them were also from the Outer Courtyard. They were Mu Feng's disciples in the Outer Courtyard, so they naturally didn't know Mu Feng's true identity.

In this regard, Moyan Wu Shang and the others didn't tell the four about Mu Feng. After all, there was no proof. If they said that Mu Feng was a spy from the Blue Dragon Hall, they couldn't guarantee that the four of them wouldn't attack because they suspected them.

"Zhuowen, Wu Shang, you said that the creature in the black clouds came out from the Emperor's Tomb and can absorb the energy of warriors' flesh and blood?" Grandmaster Lan Miao frowned and said with a slightly ugly expression.

Not only Grandmaster Lan Miao, Grandmaster Tian Yi, Grandmaster Wu Kong, and Grandmaster Tusita didn't look any better. After all, what Zhuowen and Moyan Wu Shang said was really beyond their expectations.

They didn't expect that in the Emperor's Tomb, there would be such a strange creature like the Heavenly Worm. It could absorb the energy of warriors' flesh and blood to enhance its strength and escape.

"If what you said is true, this is really a disaster for the Bitter Sea." Grandmaster Lan Miao sighed softly.

"Now we have to stop the Heavenly Worm Avatar. Otherwise, the fate of the entire Excellent Spirit Island will be the same as the other islands. It's very likely that it will cease to exist." Buddhist Zhuowen said seriously.

Lan Miao nodded and said, "The Outer Court has the Cultivation Tower and the Arcane Tower. These two iconic buildings have powerful defensive abilities. However, the Cultivation Tower is under the control of the Dean. We can't use the power of the Cultivation Tower. We can only open the defensive array of the Arcane Tower."

"Leave the Cultivation Tower to me. Grandpa has already taught me the method to open the Cultivation Tower's defensive array. Now, what we need to do is to gather all the disciples of the Excellent Spirit Academy into the two towers to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Worm Avatar." Moyan Wu Shang said with a serious expression.

"In that case, it's best. The four of us will open the Arcane Tower's defensive array first. You guys assign some people to gather all the disciples of the academy. When the time comes, we will enter the tower to avoid the disaster."

After Grandmaster Lan Miao finished speaking, he hurriedly entered the Arcane Tower with Grandmaster Tusita and the other two. After all, they could see that the speed of the black cloud was extremely fast. If they didn't act quickly, it would be too late when the black cloud completely descended on the Excellent Spirit Island.

"Zhuowen, Jia Nan and Gatha, you guys help me gather all the disciples of the academy. I will open the Cultivation Tower's defensive array." Moyan Wu Shang said with a serious expression.

The Buddhist Dao's Zhuo Wen nodded and hurriedly left with Jia Nan's group.

Not long after, the Arcane Tower and the Cultivation Tower, the two most iconic buildings of the academy, actually erupted with pillars of light that soared into the sky. Two terrifying powers spread out, enveloping the entire Excellent Spirit Island, causing countless warriors to raise their heads and look in that direction.

There were countless runes flowing on the surface of the Arcane Tower. They were like small swimming tadpoles. They looked extremely mysterious. On the other hand, the Cultivation Tower burst out with ice and fire energy. On one side, there was a sea of fire. On the other side, there was an extremely cold place. It looked extremely strange.

"All the disciples of the Excellent Spirit Island, come to the Arcane Tower and the Cultivation Tower to avoid the impending disaster. You only have ten minutes. If you don't come, the two towers will automatically close. At that time, it will be impossible to enter even if you want to."

A vigorous voice rang out from the sky above the academy. Zhuowen led Jia Nan, Gatha and the others as he shouted towards the ground. His voice was amplified by Yuan Power. It spread throughout the entire academy and filled the ears of many warriors.

"What?

The Arcane Tower and the Cultivation Tower are open. We have to go in quickly. It seems that the black cloud is an extremely ominous thing. "

The other students scattered in the academy heard the voice that reverberated in the sky. They were startled at first, but after they reacted, they rushed towards the Arcane Tower and the Cultivation Tower.

After ten minutes, at the top of the Arcane Tower and the Cultivation Tower, Moyan Wushang and Grandmaster Lan Miao looked at each other. Shortly after, they waved their sleeves and completely sealed the entrances of the two towers. In the sky above the Excellent Spirit Island, there was only the soaring ice and fire energy and the spiral rune energy left.

"There's still us. We haven't entered yet."

There were still many warriors outside the two towers. Because they were too far away, they didn't arrive in ten minutes. They were blocked outside the two towers.

However, no matter how they screamed, the entrances of the two pagodas remained motionless. The time it took to brew a cup of tea was already the limit. At this moment, the black clouds had already filled the sky above the entire Excellent God Island. In an instant, the originally bright Excellent God Island became incomparably dark.

Awoo!

Waves of ghost-like wails and wolf-like howls spread out from the black cloud. Shortly after, black shadows descended from the black cloud like falling snow.

"No!"

"What are these things? Why are they so strong?"

"Help!"

A series of wails came from the entire Excellent Spirit Island. Whether it was the students who had yet to arrive at the Arcane Tower or the Cultivation Tower, or the warriors who were scattered in other areas of the island, they all became the targets of the Heavenly Insect Avatars.

The individual strength of these Heavenly Insect Avatars was at the level of Low-level Emperor Realm. In the Excellent Spirit Island, those who had such strength were simply rare. Hence, this was a one-sided massacre. Under the attack of the Heavenly Insect Avatars, the warriors of the Excellent Spirit Island were utterly defeated.

The consequence of failure was to become the nourishment of the Heavenly Insect Avatars. Their flesh and blood were absorbed, leaving not even a trace behind.

The martial artists in the Arcane Towers and Cultivation Towers naturally saw what was happening outside. Their faces all paled, and some of the more mentally fragile fellows even began to retch. This method of swallowing the flesh and blood of martial artists was far too bloody. They had never seen anything like it before.

Moyan Wushang quietly looked at the scene. Although there was a trace of reluctance in her beautiful eyes, she had to do this. After all, whether it was the time or the space of the Cultivation Tower, they were limited. She could only protect a portion of the people, but she could not save everyone on the Excellent Spirit Island.

"Don't blame yourself. Our ability is limited. It's already good enough that we can save a portion of the people. After all, we are not saviors. What we can do is to do our best to save the people that we should save."

A hand gently patted Moyan Wushang's shoulder. Immediately, Moyan Wushang turned her body slightly and saw Zhuowen behind her, calmly looking at her.

"You're right. We'll do our best." Moyan Wushang revealed a smile, but it was quite bitter.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, an extremely violent trembling sound was emitted from the entire Cultivation Tower. The numerous warriors in the tower all staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on?

What's happening outside? "

Frightened voices filled the Cultivation Tower. After all the warriors stabilized their bodies, their eyes were filled with fear.

"Those Heavenly Insect Avatars are attacking our Cultivation Tower." Moyan Wushang's beautiful eyes slightly sank as she said in a low voice.
