Knowing she couldn't escape capture and understanding the rules of this world, which forbade insect kings from killing each other, Ming Zhuxian calmly asked, "Bi Zhu, you've always been a senior, knowing more than any of us. I wonder what experiment you're conducting? Please enlighten me and dispel the confusion in my heart."

Bi Zhu laughed and said, "You're one for research. If your insight weren't lacking, you might have noticed something. This king has been pondering how to break through this world and enter the Great Thousand World, free and unrestrained. If we follow the rules of this world, devour the so-called fated ones, and exit through the path left by that bald donkey, I fear we won't gain true freedom, and our lives might be worse than they are now! So, this king is wondering, what if we go against the grain? Could we destroy this world and find a glimmer of opportunity?"

"Go against the grain?" Although Ming Zhu didn't quite understand, she realized that what Bi Zhu was doing must be extremely dangerous and immediately asked, "How will you experiment? How will you destroy this world?"

"Hahaha, you don't need to know that!"

Bi Zhu gently swayed, transforming into a ball of green water, and flew towards Ming Zhu.

Ming Zhu trembled, and with a flash of yellow light, teleported fifty zhang away, near Zhang Yuanjing's location.

Ignoring Bi Zhu's pursuit, the front end of her withered bamboo expanded, like a huge python opening its mouth, biting towards Zhang Yuanjing, wanting to devour him first, gain the world's approval, and escape Bi Zhu's evil plan.

Bi Zhu lightly shouted, "Why not burrow into the earth and hide! Do you want to become a ghost in my belly?"

Zhang Yuanjing, who was pretending to be out of his mind, heard this and knew that the large, green pearl had seen through his disguise. Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he decided to follow her advice for now. He cast an earth escape spell, hid in the earth, and went directly to the place where he had stored the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace.

He had originally decided to let the six insect kings kill each other, and he would emerge last as the fisherman who reaps the benefits. However, the sudden appearance of Bi Zhu disrupted his plan.

After taking the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace, he was hesitating about how to deal with the green pearl when a voice accurately entered his ears: "Don't be afraid, this king won't kill you. On the contrary, I will give you an opportunity! Don't run around. When it comes to earth escape, this king is also an expert!"

Zhang Yuanjing recalled the scene when the green pearl flew out of the earth, which indeed resembled an earth escape technique, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Even without the Yang Refining Umbrella, with the help of Yuan Shisan and the Bi Jing Suanni Beast, he could fight this green pearl, so why would he need to use earth escape to run away?

At this time, the situation on the ground changed again.

The Stone King, who had collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, had somehow gotten up again, raised his huge fist, and smashed it at Bi Zhu. Bi Zhu, in the form of green water, took the opportunity to wrap around the Stone King's fist. The Stone King's mighty punch was like hitting air and did no damage to Bi Zhu.

Ming Zhu transformed into a long worm, opened her mouth full of fine teeth, bit the green water, and sucked hard, wanting to absorb the green water into her belly. However, the green water seemed to have grown claws, firmly grasping the Stone King's fist, without losing a bit.

At the same time, a thick figure rushed north, it was the Demon Ape. Like the Stone King, it was only temporarily exhausted. After resting for a while, it regained half of its strength. The Stone King risked his life to save Ming Zhu, fighting desperately with Bi Zhu, while it desperately fled.

The green water covering the Stone King's fist flowed rapidly, and the emerald light flickered on and off. The Stone King waved his other hand and slapped hard at the green water.

"Don't be reckless!" Ming Zhu hurriedly shouted.

But it was too late. The Stone King slapped his other fist heavily, causing the green water to splash. At the same time, they heard a "boom," and his big fist, like a thousand-pound boulder, was shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of gravel scattered on the ground.

The Stone King groaned, but ignored his injuries and reached out his palm to grab the splashing water droplets. Ming Zhu, in the form of a long worm, quickly opened her mouth and sprayed a green flame at the water droplets in the sky.

However, the Stone King's outstretched palm, in addition to having dozens of raindrop-sized holes, failed to catch a single green water droplet. And the green fire sprayed by Ming Zhu had no effect on even the smallest green water droplet.

"It can't be done! Stone King, run separately!" Seeing the disparity in strength, Ming Zhu immediately made a decision.

"Want to leave? No way!" Countless green water droplets merged together and turned into Bi Zhu again. Like a cannonball, it struck Ming Zhu's waist.

The Stone King mustered his remaining strength and used his remaining fist to deliver his strongest blow to Bi Zhu. Ming Zhu gracefully turned in the air, avoiding Bi Zhu's impact. However, the Bi Zhu that collided was obviously not very heavy.

"Stone King, be careful!" Ming Zhu shouted.

But the Stone King was unable to change anything. All of his strength was in this last punch. The real Bi Zhu was still hiding in the air, without that bright green color, replaced by colorless water droplets.

When the Stone King's move was exhausted, it partially gathered, forming a small Bi Zhu, and suddenly attacked, piercing the Stone King's head, and the strong stone man collapsed dejectedly.

Ming Zhu turned around and used teleportation again. This was her best effort, and she quickly flashed to a position more than one hundred and fifty zhang away. Then, at the moment she appeared, countless small green droplets flew from all directions, chaotically piercing Ming Zhu's body, tearing it into several pieces.

It turned out that while she was paying attention to the Stone King, Bi Zhu hid part of her body, predicted her escape route, and had already ambushed her here.

"Kid, I'm serious, don't run around. Come up and collect the remains of these guys first. After I catch the two that escaped, I'll tell you what to do next!" Bi Zhu said to Zhang Yuanjing, who was hiding in the earth, through voice transmission, and then flew north quickly and disappeared soon.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't know what Bi Zhu's plan was, but this move was undoubtedly beneficial to him. He took the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace and escaped to the ground, first collecting the Stone King, who was closest, and then went to collect the Martial Emperor, but found that he couldn't collect it for some reason. He had no choice but to leave it in place and collect the Treasure Tree first. He flew again to pick up the pieces of Ming Zhu's body and threw them into the furnace as well.

He suddenly thought that according to the dull voice, as long as he killed an insect king, he could win the challenge. Now that he had collected the remains of three insect kings, and they had not yet died, if he used the furnace to refine them, he would be considered to have killed three insect kings and would win directly. Why wait for Bi Zhu to come and add extra trouble!

He immediately cast an earth escape spell, drilled a hundred zhang into the ground, simply opened up a space of more than ten zhang, set up the furnace, took the Tongyun Pill, and started the Yin-Yang fire to burn the remains of the three insect kings.

However, to his surprise, the Yin-Yang fire seemed to be useless against the remains of the insect kings. After burning for a whole quarter of an hour, there was no change at all.

"Is one more day enough for you?" Suddenly, a voice rang in the cave, startling him.

A cherry-sized green ball drilled out of the soil and shook in the dark cave. A cold and teasing voice came from the pearl.

Zhang Yuanjing's whole body shook. Knowing that he had underestimated the pearl, he communicated with the Yang Refining Umbrella to secretly prepare, extinguished the flames, chuckled twice, and bowed his hands in salute: "I am Zhang Yuanjing, I have met Senior!"

"Go to the surface first!" Bi Zhu said coldly.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't say much, carried the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace, and quickly went to the surface.

On the ground, a zhang and a half giant ape and a foot-long white pupa lay quietly on the ground. They were the Demon Ape and the Colored Butterfly who had escaped before.

"Do you know why the remains of these insect kings cannot be refined?" After glancing at the pure white pupa, Bi Zhu's voice softened slightly.

"I don't know, please enlighten me, Senior!" Zhang Yuanjing said respectfully.

"This world has ten insect kings, all of which are exotic species from the Great Thousand World, not promoted from the filthy demon insects you have seen. Back then, that bald... that person, caught us, well, he should have caught a lot, not only exotic insects, but also other kinds of strange beasts. But this world, is the world you came from, only has our ten insect kings."

"He locked us here, and I didn't guess what it was for. Most of the two who went out know. Well, for tens of thousands of years, only two insect kings have gone out. There is also one who is unruly and can't stand the hardship here. I don't know how he died himself. Hehe, I guess he must have used some kind of trick, or simply abandoned his body and seized a demon insect to escape from here. Maybe he is carefree somewhere."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing immediately thought of the demon insect hidden in "Lin Huan", which was highly intelligent and different from the demon insects in the Holy Core Realm, but its body was no different. Could it be the insect king's parasitic insect?

Bi Zhu said a few words in a rambling manner, realizing that it was a bit off topic, so he turned the topic back: "We insect kings can be regarded as born with the treasures of heaven and earth, and each has some magical features. In the same realm, your cultivators are mostly not opponents. Perhaps, this is also the reason why that person captured us. There is a force in our body, well, I don't know what it is called, anyway, it is a strange force between heaven and earth, let's call it anti-qi for now. If you can't remove it, with your current strength and means, you can't refine the remains of these insect kings."

Anti-qi? Is it "anti", or "return", or perhaps another meaning? Zhang Yuanjing had no time to think, bowed again, and asked for advice with his head down: "How to remove it, please teach me, Senior?"

Bi Zhu smiled: "Of course I want to teach you by saying so much. The method is not difficult. Your furnace is indeed a weapon to restrain demon insects, but the level is a bit low. I'll help you to force out the anti-qi. You can pour out the insect bodies in the furnace. These six must be refined together. Because if you refine one first, the will of this place, that is, the lifeless voice you hear, will judge you as winning and transfer you elsewhere, and the rest cannot be refined, which is detrimental to my plan."

So that's it! No wonder Bi Zhu didn't let an insect king escape, and didn't mention any conditions to cooperate with him. The key is in this furnace.

Zhang Yuanjing followed his words and poured out the bodies of the Stone King, Treasure Tree, and Ming Zhu from the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace.

Bi Zhu shook his body and turned into a six-foot-tall faceless person, holding a green long sword, first slashed at the Stone King a few times, cutting it into a stone ball the size of a watermelon, and then threw it to Zhang Yuanjing, saying: "This is its stone core. If this thing is not destroyed, it will not be considered dead. Now, it is in a deep sleep and can be disposed of by you."

After that, Bi Zhu performed on the remaining five insect kings one by one.

The giant ape only had a black, foot-long heart left, beating thumpingly, full of vitality.

The Treasure Tree only left half of the middle section, less than half a foot long.

Ming Zhu, who was broken into six pieces, used some very special power to refine each piece of bamboo, and threw it to Zhang Yuanjing only after it was reduced to the size of a finger.

The Martial Emperor's huge body was almost completely discarded, leaving only a green square stone in his abdomen, which was the gathering place of all his vitality.

Finally, there was the Colored Butterfly, the white pupa.

Bi Zhu seemed to have a special feeling for this white pupa, gently stroking it with a jade-like palm. After a long time, he threw the whole thing to Zhang Yuanjing, saying: "She has already been reborn. The past her is dead, and this pupa is her new life. Refine all of it!"
