Inside the limb that Zixin and his group had entered, the ground split open and beneath the red ground were maggots that numbered in the millions, it was like an ocean of maggots and they were chewing through the ground with glee. Mind you, they were inside a limb so the maggots were actually chewing flesh and not dirt.
These maggots were yellowish white with a tinge of red on the head and a red straight line on the rear end. These maggots didn’t have claws like Zixin so they moved with their bodies and even projectiled themselves upwards to reach far.
The maggots rose from the ground, each maggot a hundred meters long and when rising to the surface, the space was getting cramped.
[Kill them all.] said Zixin while pointing at the settlements not far from them and like a natural disaster, a maggot tsunami swept over the settlements and drowned everything beneath them. From the gaps, pleas for help could be faintly heard by the group but quickly went silent.
[Follow me.] said Zixin and the maggots made space for Zixin. He then jumped down and the group followed him. After that, the entire blood vessel was full of maggots that were eating and digging through it.
The maggots blocked and even spilled out from the pores of the limb that they occupied, the Ice Demon’s expression became frosty as this wasn’t supposed to happen.
The Ice Demon blew cold breath at the maggots in order to freeze them to sleep. That’s what had happened previously in order to get rid of these maggots but now it didn’t work, the maggots now seemed unaffected by the cold and continued to devour the flesh of the limb.
’This is bad! This is absolutely bad, I have to report it!’ thought the demon before flying away. The other demons facing a similar problem also flew away to report to their superiors about this incident.
Deep inside the limb, inside the bone marrow, Zixin and his entourage resided there. The place was also massive, planet size even. In the white sky, brown larvae covered in hairs were gnawing at the bones, chipping away at the bones and swallowing them in relish, the larvae looked completely different from the maggots.
"Master, what’s going on?" finally asked Wan Shui and everyone perked their ears. They too were curious about Zixin’s incomprehensible actions.
[This concerns my breakthrough in cultivation as well as the Underworld’s Will. You and I will work together to remove the Ancient Warzone from the face of the earth. In its place will be fertile lands for the Will’s use and I’ll have my breakthrough. This mission is gonna take a while but it must be completed.]
’Just what kind of cultivation technique requires the complete decimation of an entire zone to complete?’ thought Harl.
’What Star Rank is this cultivation technique? I must get my hands on it.’ thought Ciel with a greedy look.
Suddenly, a warhorn reverberated far and wide and a few breaths later, warhorns from other regions sounded out.
The ice demon had flown all the way to the specially built camp in case of emergencies one occurred. In this camp, a massive horn the size of a mountain was placed there.
’The Incomplete Corpse Stretch must know of this.’ thought the Ice Demon before blowing the warhorn.
Separating the Limbs Belt and the Incomplete Corpse Stretch was an ice barrier that was ten thousands of kilometres thick and extremely hard to pass through forcefully. On the other ice of this ice barrier was a small mound of white snow.
The warhorn sound easily passed through the ice barrier and continued to travel deeper into the Incomplete Corpse Stretch. The snow mound shook violently as appendages stretched out from it, followed by a torso, a tail and a furry head.
An ape-like demon stood in front of the ice barrier. This demon was covered in snow white fur from top to bottom and had a thick furred tail, tusks protruded from its lower jaw and it stood on all fours. It had icy blue eyes and black skinned palms and nails. Outside the ice barrier, thick clouds condensed in the sky and cold winds blew wildly.
’Damn it, I thought those maggots and worms couldn’t be easily woken up. Let me quickly deal with this, report it then go back to sleep.’ thought the Frost Demon Yeti. It easily passed through the ice barrier, once outside it levitated in the air then disappeared into the thick clouds that had formed in the sky and the clouds expanded towards the source of the warhorn at the South.
Wherever the dark clouds passed, ice and snow was left behind. The limbs scattered around were completely covered in ice and snow that even reached the bones. The ground was also blanketed in ice and snow and the area covered by this snow was in the tens of billions of light years which was a relatively small area. The limbs were around 500 thousand light years in size.
The demons living inside the limbs were frozen to death and couldn’t even muster the slightest resistance.
[Yeti Innate Ability: Yeti’s Presence!]
By the time the Yeti Demon reached Zixin’s location, five limbs were already maggot infested and resistant to the snow and ice. The current temperature was extremely cold but these maggots weren’t affected at all by it.
’It’s as I’ve suspected, ordinary freezing methods will no longer work on these maggots. Something stronger must be used to force them to slumber, luckily, I have just the thing.
[Ultimate Skill: Yeti’s Winterfall!]
The thick clouds descended hastily towards the maggots and the limbs close by. Everything was then blanketed by the snow that could freeze even galaxies. The Yeti half the size of the limb rose from the snow and looked at the area covered in snow and smiled in satisfaction.
’That should d...’ but before it could finish its sentence, blue flames rose from underneath the snow and evaporated without the slightest resistance.
[These maggots are under my protection. Relay my message to your superiors!]
