Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 59: Devouring Spirit Insect, Hunting Ground!

The Red Leopard Demon's heart was filled with fear.

Even though it was already suppressed and unable to move, it still didn't know what exactly had happened, and it hadn't even seen what the other person looked like!

Where did this person come from?

How could such a powerful figure exist among the lowly human race?!

With just a casual kick, it completely imprisoned the demon power within it, rendering it unable to move or make a sound, turning it into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

"Hey! Who are you, and how did you suddenly appear on my pet?" Compared to the fear and unease of the Red Leopard Demon, Zhao Qian turned his head towards Liu Zimo as if nothing had happened, kindly waving his hand to urge him, "It's enough for me to guard here alone. Leave quickly before my pet gets angry!"

"Believe me, I will lead everyone to drive away all these demonic beasts and let everyone live in peace and safety!"

Liu Zimo stared at Zhao Qian speechlessly, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Who gave him such god-like confidence? How dare he still spout nonsense here?

To drive away all the demonic beasts and let everyone live in peace and safety, even the three great martial saints thirty years later wouldn't dare to say such things, right?

"Alright, stop acting in front of me!"

"The big leopard below has already been completely controlled by me. As long as I want to, I can take its life at any time!"

Liu Zimo got straight to the point, "Now, tell me honestly, what do you, or rather, this Red Leopard Demon, want to do?"

Zhao Qian was stunned and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, we want to protect the country and ensure the safety of the people!"

"How interesting!"

"When the disaster happened in the east, where were you to come out and kill demons and save people? But now that I've tamed the demonic beasts and stabilized the situation, you dare to come out and criticize?"

"I hate people like you who only go with the flow, don't think about helping when something happens, and even go out of your way to hinder others. If you're sensible, then leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, Zhao Qian became more and more agitated, even threatening Liu Zimo with a dark face.

Heh! Liu Zimo couldn't help but laugh.

This guy had obviously been brainwashed, and it was useless to say anything to him.

Since that was the case, why bother being polite to him?

Swish! Liu Zimo raised his right hand and instantly controlled Zhao Qian in his palm. He secretly circulated his inner energy and quickly invaded Zhao Qian's meridians and organs, checking if this child was being controlled by something.

As his inner energy circulated, it quickly spread throughout his body.

Liu Zimo's eyebrows raised slightly, as he found nothing.

Everything in Zhao Qian's body was normal, just like Liu Zimo had previously judged, he was an ordinary person who hadn't even opened his Qi Sea Dantian.

"What are you doing?"

"You bastard, if you're sensible, release me quickly, otherwise when my pet gets angry, you won't be able to leave!"

Even at this moment, Zhao Qian was still shouting loudly without any fear in his eyes.

Liu Zimo frowned, his eyes fixed on Zhao Qian's eyes, and his spiritual consciousness lightly trembled, directly sending a spiritual thought into Zhao Qian's brow.

Sure enough.

On Zhao Qian's dim and dark three-inch spiritual platform, Liu Zimo clearly saw a thumb-sized, pale and semi-transparent fat worm wriggling continuously.

While it wriggled, the fat worm also emitted fine threads from its mouth, weaving a spiderweb that covered the entire spiritual platform.

"What is this thing?!"

Liu Zimo's mind was filled with dread.

In his two lifetimes, he had never heard of such a small creature that could directly parasitize the human race's spiritual sea in the demon clan.

No wonder his previous internal investigation did not detect any abnormalities.

The human body's spiritual sea, strictly speaking, is not considered a physical organ, and martial arts internal energy cannot directly penetrate it.

It means that Liu Zimo's spiritual cultivation has already reached the level of Soul Communication, allowing him to explore with divine sense and forcibly invade someone else's spiritual sea to investigate. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to detect any problems with Zhao Qian.

If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why Zhao Qian became so strange and why the Red Leopard Demon willingly prostrated itself under an ordinary human's feet must be related to this strange bug residing in Zhao Qian's spiritual sea.

"Sss!"

"A human? And a human with an opened spiritual sea?"

"Great! This is the perfect nest I've been dreaming of! Wait for me, I'm coming!"

The white and tender bug, which was spinning silk and weaving a web, also sensed Liu Zimo's divine sense and suddenly raised its head, happily and excitedly hissing.

Its external divine sense conveyed its emotions and thoughts without reservation to Liu Zimo's divine sense.

Before Liu Zimo could react, the bug withdrew its divine sense from Zhao Qian's spiritual sea and saw the small bug hovering on the spider web, flying towards his divine sense like lightning.

Swoosh!

With almost no obstacles, the bug followed Liu Zimo's external divine sense, directly piercing through the spiritual sea and entering his spiritual sea space in an instant.

Oh no!

Liu Zimo's expression changed dramatically.

This thing could actually ignore his mental barriers and soul defenses, directly infiltrating his spiritual sea.

It was terrifying!

This was simply the nemesis of all spiritual cultivators. It was impossible to defend against it!

"What are you?!"

"What do you want by invading my spiritual sea?!"

Liu Zimo stabilized his mind and used his divine sense to sternly question, hoping to extract some useful information from the bug.

"Who am I?"

"Kikikiki! Such an ignorant and humble race. You don't even know about the great Devouring Spirit Bug Clan. No wonder my king has set his sights on you."

The bug's external divine sense transmitted again, as if it was talking to itself.

"What's ridiculous is that this foolish human actually asked me what I want to do. Isn't it obvious?"

"Of course, it's to keep all you two-legged creatures as livestock, serving as hunting grounds for my demon clan, providing a constant supply of fresh and delicious blood!"

"The role of my Devouring Spirit Bug Clan is naturally to control some humans and help them become leaders among the human race."

"Then, we can control them and pacify their hearts, so that these humble and cowardly fellows won't reduce their breeding rate due to daily fear..."

"This kid is really lucky. Being chosen by me, he is destined to become a king among the human race, avoiding the fate of being slaughtered and harvested by my clan in advance..."

The Devouring Spirit Bug seemed unable to control its own external conscious fluctuations, or perhaps it had no intention of doing so.

At this moment, all its thoughts and ideas flowed into Liu Zimo's spiritual sea without reservation.

Many questions were answered even before Liu Zimo deliberately guided them. The bug just blurted them all out.

However, the content of this information made Liu Zimo feel terrified and chilled to the bone.

If everything the Devouring Spirit Bug said was true, did it mean that even in the spiritual seas of the actual controllers of the major human cities in the previous life, there were always these bugs manipulating their consciousness?

The reason why the demon clan did not exterminate the human race and even gave them the opportunity to establish a federation and successfully build so-called safe zones and gathering places was actually because they deliberately reserved feeding areas and hunting grounds?

Their true purpose was to raise the human race, utilizing their strong reproductive ability to provide a constant supply of fresh flesh and blood?

For thirty years in the apocalypse, the struggle for survival that the human race claimed and the confrontation with the demons outside the city, was it all just a huge conspiracy and joke?
