Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1476 - 685: Killing the Insect with a Borrowed Blade (Part 2)

In the universe, one man and one worm engaged in a duel, Chen Shi was suddenly swept by a tentacle of flesh and blood, the incredibly strong muscle nearly crushed him, causing blood to seep from the corner of his mouth!

Chen Shi fiercely pushed the Copper Bell to its limit, the eyes of the flesh and blood tentacle became more deviant, flailing wildly, even a nearby star suffered and was swept into the atmosphere by a gigantic tentacle.

The air of the star was instantly ignited by the Primordial Worm's tentacle, a tentacle of flesh and blood thousands of miles long pressed down, shattering the crust, volcanic eruptions everywhere, magma covered the surface of the star.

Fortunately, the star's environment was already harsh and lifeless, otherwise extinction would have been inevitable.

The Primordial Worm's vision was more chaotic, focusing its strikes on Chen Shi, but repeatedly striking itself, tearing its own flesh, even two columns of flesh twisting around, severing its own limbs!

One man and one worm were in a frenzy, Chen Shi simply placed the Copper Bell, as large as mountains, on himself, while pushing the bell and letting the flesh strike it. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Although the impacts were lessened, the ringing sound left him dizzy and nauseated.

Suddenly, the turbulence and sound outside abruptly stopped, leaving only the sound of the bell.

An obscure wave of Divine Sense entered Chen Shi's mind, an ancient and powerful yet incredibly chaotic consciousness made contact, and with a slight ripple, it felt like a thunderstorm erupted in his mind, rumbling loudly.

"Chen Shi... stop fighting..."

It was the Primordial Worm transmitting its thoughts to his mind in the chaotic duel, calling his name.

Chen Shi was moved slightly, ceasing the Copper Bell's activation.

Though the ringing stopped, the bell remained as large as mountains, suspended above his head.

Chen Shi calmed his Heart Spirit, about to speak, suddenly felt incredibly distressed and began to vomit.

After a moment, he regained some composure, his consciousness descended into the Sea of Consciousness, seeing a giant shadow floating over his Sea of Consciousness, a projection caused by the Primordial Worm's consciousness.

"Primordial Worm, is it an intelligent being?" Chen Shi paused slightly.

The giant shadow conveyed a thought wave, stirring waves in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Chen Shi!"

Despite its vast thought consciousness, it was intermittent, it seemed struggling to communicate with him, "You cannot defeat me."

Its thoughts flowed, transformed into a booming voice in the Sea of Consciousness: "The power of this bell may disrupt my thoughts, but it cannot harm me. You cannot defeat me here, even if you find my True Body, you also cannot defeat me."

Chen Shi's heart sank, knowing the Primordial Worm spoke truth, yet being threatened by a worm unsettled him.

"I can continuously consume your body until it is digested," Chen Shi said.

A rumbling sound like thunder came from the sky above the Sea of Consciousness, after a moment it was recognized as the Primordial Worm laughing.

"Near my True Body, who digests whom is unclear. Chen Shi, are you so confident you can deal with me? Chen Shi, I am merely a beast, no different from the cattle and sheep you raise."

On the surface of the Sea of Consciousness appeared cattle and sheep, presumably formed by the Primordial Worm's thoughts, walking on the water as if on a grassland, cattle and sheep lowering their heads to graze, lambs joyfully leaping, touching horn to horn.

"You drive cattle and sheep to places you deem suitable for grazing, where they eat grass. And by herding me, I am driven to different worlds, where I devour those worlds."

The Primordial Worm's vast thoughts carried their own logic, unhurriedly saying, "The difference is, you eat grass, while I eat entire worlds. But essentially, I am no different from the cattle and sheep you graze."

Chen Shi looked up at the giant shadow in the sky, tentatively saying, "Immortal Emperor Your Majesty?"

The Primordial Worm's thoughts flowed, laughing: "You think it's the Immortal Emperor using my thoughts to speak with you? No, as a Primordial Worm of the Dark Sea, how could I not possess my own thought logic?"

Chen Shi was slightly moved, laughing: "You sometimes need to hide, preventing others from discovering your intelligence."

His eyes gleamed: "You know the Immortal Emperor's purpose in grazing you is to allow you to grow strong, to protect him, and to protect the Immortals of the Immortal Court from the Opening Tribulation. You realize this point, so you must pretend your intelligence is low, not even daring to reveal you possess intelligence. You fear being discovered by the Immortal Emperor, who might annihilate your consciousness."

The giant shadow in the sky suddenly shook violently, seemingly murderous!

Outside, the massive body of the Primordial Worm moved, attempting to crush Chen Shi!

At the same time, a clear bell sound clearly entered Chen Shi's Sea of Consciousness, disrupting the giant shadow into chaotic consciousness!

"Stop!" the shadow's thought fluctuated.

"Let's both stop!" Chen Shi said.

One man and one worm each halted.

From within the shadow, a rumbling voice said: "Chen Shi, even if you find my true body, you cannot kill me, nor can I deal with you, why not each take a step back? You return to the West Bull New Continent, continue as your True King, I continue being driven by the Immortal Court, to graze more worlds. We part ways, owing nothing to each other."

Chen Shi shook his head, saying: "The Immortal Emperor can find the killer of his disciple through your thoughts. I cannot let you go."

The giant shadow said: "You could also tell the Immortal Emperor I have gained consciousness, using others to kill me."

Chen Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "Alright, owing nothing to each other. You return to your true body, I return to my Guiyuan World."

As the giant shadow was about to retreat, Chen Shi added: "You hide your intelligence, but your aim is crooked. You utilize the Immortal Emperor's grazing to strengthen yourself. When you have devoured enough realms, and your power surpasses the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Court, you will strike him when he's unprepared and possibly devour and refine him. Isn't that right?"

The giant shadow said: "You're wrong. You don't understand how strong and terrifying that person is. Facing him, I cannot conjure such thoughts, not even a trace!"

"Yet you acted."

Chen Shi's eyes gleamed, saying, "Your growth rate is too rapid, worlds large and small in the Dark Seas are your nutrients, your cultivation will become increasingly high, gradually surpassing the Immortal Emperor, surpassing other existences. When your cultivation is greater than the Immortal Emperor, you would act against him."

The giant shadow coldly laughed: "You are inciting me!"

Chen Shi slightly smiled: "How could it be incitement? I am merely stating your inner thoughts."

That giant shadow seemed to break through the clouds over Chen Shi's Sea of Consciousness, slowly revealing an unimaginably large eye, overlooking Chen Shi.

"You are agitating me to act against the Immortal Emperor. Once I act, regardless of who wins between me and the Immortal Emperor, only one of us will survive. Thus, with no effort, you plan to remove a major threat."

From within the shadow came mocking laughter, as if ridiculing Chen Shi's overconfidence, saying, "With just one word, you can use me to eliminate the Immortal Emperor, or use the Immortal Emperor to eliminate me, truly a clever scheme!"

The shadow departed, disappearing from the Sea of Consciousness, yet the sound still entered Chen Shi's mind.

"But I won't fall for your trick!"

One by one, fleshy tentacles released Chen Shi, swiftly fleeing.

Soon, calm returned around Chen Shi.

Chen Shi withdrew his Immortal Yuan, the Copper Bell gradually shrinking, soon restored to its previous size.

"Whether or not you've recognized the plan to incite others to kill, you will be caught in it."

He caught the bell, a smile appearing on his face, "When your cultivation equals the Immortal Emperor's, you'll ponder if you really want to continue being manipulated by him. Once this thought arises, it will become like a venomous snake, entwining you relentlessly. Even if you can endure it, the Immortal Emperor will sense your anomaly. By then, you won't be able not to act."

"So, when you hear these words, you and the Immortal Emperor are already destined that one must die!"
