Chapter 1716: Poisonous Insects and Monster Hands 1

In a twisted and dark poisonous swamp hell, the terrifying poison disaster spread, with poisonous gas rising, the void being corroded, presenting a melting form, like gray magma flowing.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a brilliant light illuminated the entire world. The scorching celestial power expanded, pushing for miles, burning all the strange poisonous gas to the point of complete destruction, flames burning fiercely.

Jiang Chengxuan, cloaked in his mystic realm, shot through the poisonous swamp like the breaking of dawn, his gaze firm as he moved through the melting void.

Roar! Roar!

However, behind Jiang Chengxuan, several massive black shadows pursued, their twisted and expanding figures crushing the poisonous swamp, causing giant waves to rise, and poisonous fog to spread, their destructive gaze locked onto him.

What was even more bizarre was that the flesh and blood of these black shadows were blurred. On their bodies were multiple burning, hideous wounds, with streams of poison flowing from them. As they ran, their flesh directly fell to the ground, a horrifying sight.

But this did not stop them from chasing Jiang Chengxuan, who seemed to have no sense of pain, nor fear of death.

Enduring the rule of the pervasive poison disaster’s corrosion, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression grew grave. He no longer wanted to deal with these poison beasts. He had already killed them countless times, but they just slithered back together like mud, reforming themselves.

Engaging in combat with them again seemed pointless. He had to find the original rune in this place.

Although the Black and White Pearl served as his “eyes,” his spiritual sense was still greatly diminished, and within this swamp filled with poisonous disaster, he could only search little by little.

Hiss! Hiss!

Just as Jiang Chengxuan was flying, an unexpected change occurred. Suddenly, a “hissing” cry was heard, and the poisonous fog surged. Countless black shadows appeared out of nowhere, falling from the sky like a strange rain, blocking Jiang Chengxuan’s path.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan casually swung the Taichu Hongmeng Sword, the sword light sweeping through the air, cutting through several of the black shadows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few dull thuds echoed, like the clash of metal, ringing continuously.

Soon after, in front of Jiang Chengxuan, the melted void dropped the dense black shadows. These were revealed to be poisonous insects, resembling spiders. On their backs were jet-black stone peaks, and they had membranous wings, capable of flying.

Facing Jiang Chengxuan, the poisonous spiders’ mouthparts constantly moved, resembling two natural steel forks, reflecting cold light. The destructive poison disaster was also attached to them.

“Endless…”

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed, and he muttered coldly. The suddenly appearing swarm of poisonous spiders, dense like a meteor belt floating in the void, completely blocked his path, forcing him to stop.

Just now, when he casually struck, he felt that the defense of these poisonous insects was astonishing, able to withstand the edge of the Taichu Hongmeng Sword.

“But from another perspective, maybe I am getting closer to the original rune.”

At this point, Jiang Chengxuan’s mind shifted, and he thought of a possibility.

The sudden appearance of these blocking poisonous insects might mean he was getting deeper into the heart of the area, getting closer to the polluted original rune.

Because the ominous darkness had its own intelligence, it would not randomly place these creatures in his way but would only set them up in key regions to prevent Jiang Chengxuan from approaching the polluted original rune.

Hiss! Hiss!

Before Jiang Chengxuan could think further, the dense swarm of poisonous insects flapped their wings, turning into poisonous stars, and surrounded Jiang Chengxuan. Their ferocious mouthparts opened wide.

In an instant, the void was stirred by their figures. Poisonous gas spread, and the destructive aura exploded. Cold light flashed, resembling poisoned blades slashing towards him.

Sacrifice!

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan collected his thoughts and focused. The Taichu Hongmeng Sword extended, transforming into a light ring that swept the surroundings, tearing through the void.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The astonishing edge of the sword appeared like a torrent, impacting the incoming poisonous insects. In the blink of an eye, the sound of dense metal clashes rang out, like a series of intense drumbeats.

Jiang Chengxuan felt as if he were striking an incredibly hard celestial crystal, a sense of resistance coming through his hand.

However, his celestial body was tense, and with all his might, the Taichu Hongmeng Sword radiated brilliant light, cutting through the hard stone peaks on the poisonous insects, advancing relentlessly.

Screech! Screech!

One by one, the poisonous insects exploded into countless stone fragments and were pierced by a beam of light, splitting them in two, transforming into a puddle of rotten poisonous water that fell into the void.

Around Jiang Chengxuan, it seemed as if a rain of poisonous insects mixed with broken stone was falling. Countless poisonous insects were severed by his sword, dying in the process!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Fighting through the rebound force that came with each strike, Jiang Chengxuan gripped the Taichu Hongmeng Sword and continued slashing. Blade and sword shadows exploded in waves, lighting up the entire world.

The dark poisonous rain grew even more overwhelming, with each poisonous insect being cleaved, almost forming a waterfall.

Under this assault, a few stragglers still managed to get close to Jiang Chengxuan, their sharp mouthparts biting at him.

In response, Jiang Chengxuan used his celestial power, releasing the Wan Shi Xian Sheng Jing Wen to protect his body.
