Chapter 577: Chapter 579: Earth Demon Worm
 

When the Underworld Lamp came out, the pieced-together bodies of the Ground Immortal Ghosts began to disintegrate.

One could see that each part of its body was linked with a Magic Eye Worm, much like veins, and if it hadn’t been reduced to this state, one might even think it had merged the Earth Demon Worms into its own body.

“Squeak squeak squeak!!!!”

The worms let out a piercing scream, and once exposed to the light of the Underworld Lamp, their bodies were destined to rapidly decay and rot.

Once a Magic Eye Worm died, the part of the body it was attached to would lose all vitality and detach completely from the Ground Immortal Ghost.

“So it’s these worms, huh.” Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but sneer.

A worm that had obtained grace and now claimed to be an Earth Demon Immortal Ghost?

Having taken away its Earth Spirit God powers and discovered the secret of its constructed body, it was no longer so difficult to kill it.

The Earth Demon Worms wriggled, madly burrowing into the “flesh blocks,” terrified of the glow of the Underworld Lamp; just a short exposure and they would rot and die from their entire body disintegrating.

“Sword Spirit Dragon, pick them out!” Zhu Minglang said.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Like a hen pecking for insects, the Sword Spirit Dragon darted around the Ground Immortal Ghost, searching for the hiding spots of the Magic Eye Worms, thrusting its sword precisely to spear one of them…

A layer of flame aura rippled from the body of the sword to the tip, and instantly a burst of intense flame erupted, pouring into the Earth Demon Worm’s body, quickly setting ablaze its whole body, burning it to death within that massive piece of ground-rock-flesh.

Indeed, with the death of this Magic Eye Worm, that large part of the Ground Immortal Ghost’s body totally disintegrated, turning into a pile of rubbish stones, devoid of the power of the divine turtle.

“Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, kill that old beast.” Zhu Minglang leapt onto the back of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, entrusting the task of dealing with the Ground Immortal Ghost, whose trick had been exposed, to the Sword Spirit Dragon.

The Sword Spirit Dragon seemed to enjoy this insect-catching game very much. It moved as if teleporting continuously, circling the one-eyed Ground Immortal Ghost to find them.

The previous illumination from the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s Underworld Lamp had already riddled the Ground Immortal Ghost with holes. The Sword Spirit Dragon was also rather slender and slim; if it really couldn’t find those Magic Eye Worms, the Sword Spirit Dragon would even burrow directly into the shell of the Ground Immortal Ghost.

Another swift and fatal strike, one of the extremely fat Magic Eye Worms was directly speared by the Sword Spirit Dragon, exposing it under the Underworld Lamp.

Without the need for the Sword Spirit Dragon to ignite the fierce blaze, the Magic Eye Worm gradually melted into bloody water under the light of the Underworld Lamp.

After killing about five Magic Eye Worms in a row, the body of this Demon Eye Ground Immortal Ghost disintegrated by half. Just when the Sword Spirit Dragon was weaving around its Demon Eye, the Sword Spirit Dragon suddenly noticed the eye wriggling slightly.

With its own Spiritual Wisdom, even though Zhu Minglang was now riding the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon and battling against that Yin Spirit Necromancer, the Sword Spirit Dragon would also analyze the enemy.

It circled again, dodging the ghostly paw that the Ground Immortal Ghost had thrown at it.

Pretending to attack one of the body cavities of the Ground Immortal Ghost, the Sword Spirit Dragon suddenly passed through the chest cavity, not entering to search for the Magic Eye Worm there but bursting straight out from the back of the Ground Immortal Ghost, then with a reverse slash, chopped directly at that Demon Eye!

Indeed, the Magic Eye Worm squirmed!

When its life was suddenly threatened, the Magic Eye Worm, like a curled-up worm, violently stretched out and then quickly burrowed into an old, decrepit statue nearby.

The statue depicted a Giant Ridge Soldier, burly in stature and strong in physique. With his bare torso, one could see that every muscle was sculpted with extreme realism, exuding a powerful sense of strength!

The Magic Eye Worm was actually an Earth Demon Worm, only because it curled up into a ball shape, and its color was so similar to the flesh in the demon’s eye, that people mistook it for an eye filled with evil power, like that of a Ghost God.

The Sword Spirit Dragon knew that this eyeball-shaped Earth Demon Worm was the true core of the Ground Immortal Ghost. It repeatedly chopped at the eyeball Earth Demon Worm, but the crafty creature deftly dodged away.

“Boom~~~~~~~~~~”

Behind, the previous makeshift body of the Ground Immortal Ghost completely collapsed, and the other Earth Demon Worms, part of the body, bumped around like headless flies. Eventually, they frantically burrowed into the ground, no longer able to cause trouble.

“Ga ga!!!!!!”

At the same time, the Giant Ridge Sculpture into which the Magic Eye Worm had burrowed suddenly came to life.

It moved its arms, twisted its neck, took steps forward, and its eye sockets, once empty, now revealed a Magic Eye Worm lying across them!

The eye of the wriggling worm became the pivot of this revitalized sculpture.

And the Ground Immortal Ghost had completely switched to a new body!

The exceptionally strong Giant Ridge Sculpture took large strides; beneath its feet were many holes, through which dozens of smaller worms were burrowing into the sculpture’s soles. It was as if they were moving to a new home, quickly scattering to different parts of the new body, infusing the once dilapidated sculpture with the power of Ghost Gods. Mysterious and malevolent Demon Patterns lit up on the stone muscles, densely packed and glittering with Demon Light!

The Sword Spirit Dragon hadn’t expected its previous efforts at bug catching to be in vain.

Obviously, the Magic Eye Worm was the true entity of the Ground Immortal Ghost. As long as it survived, it didn’t matter how many other Earth Demon Worms responsible for the torso, limbs, internal organs, bones, and meridians died because, on this corpse-strewn wasteland, there was an endless number of these worms!

The Sword Spirit Dragon had fully understood the ability mechanism of the Ground Immortal Ghost by now and naturally relayed this information to Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang was not far away, hearing the call of the Sword Spirit Dragon. He looked back just in time to witness the Giant Ridge Sculpture come to life and saw beneath the sculpture, countless Earth Demon Worms burrowing into this new body, activating each part of it.

“Giant Ridge Soldiers are just ordinary cultivators, at most engaged in Body Cultivation. Even if they have the ability to transform, their strength shouldn’t increase so terrifyingly.” Zhu Minglang also started to analyze calmly at this moment.

Zhu Minglang had previously speculated whether the Giant Ridge Soldiers had eaten something like the Demon Awakening Fruit, allowing them to greatly increase their strength in a short period.

But witnessing this scene, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but think, the transformation of the soldiers of the Absolute Ridge Chengbang into Giant Ridge Soldiers, with their immense strength and invincibility, could it also be because of these Earth Demon Worms?

If they could inhabit a ruined statue and make it the new body of the Ground Immortal Ghost, then what if similar Earth Demon Worms entered into the bodies of the soldiers? Would they too gain extraordinary abilities?

That is to say, their transformation into Giant Ridge Soldiers wasn’t due to any secret technique; it was very likely these Earth Demon Worms!
