Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1698 - 776: Primordial Worm_2

The huge magical treasure fragment smashed onto the Primordial Worm, skin cracked and flesh ripped.

The Primordial Worm writhed in pain, its entire body trembling violently, like an old ox shaking its hide to ward off horseflies.

On the Black Sandalwood Ship, everyone instantly felt the space around them tremble intensely, pitching up and down.

In front of Chen Shi, the Primordial Worm seemed like a mere oversized figure, impressive but useless. Yet in the eyes of these immortals, it was utterly terrifying.

"Too close to the Primordial Worm, I’m going to transform into evil!" Daoist Qing Yang shouted in panic.

His hair was disheveled, his energy surging uncontrollably inside, with evil qi growing, the Immortal Dao Dao Pattern twisting and mutating, his entire being sprouting tentacles like an uncontrollable mold spreading in all directions.

The other immortals on the ship weren’t faring well either, each one contaminated by the evil qi of the Primordial Worm.

Earlier in the Immortal City, with the city’s suppression, there was no disturbance from evil qi. Now, just being slightly closer, everyone was overwhelmed.

Everyone gritted their teeth, desperately maneuvering the Black Sandalwood Ship swiftly, attempting to break free from the Primordial Worm’s evil dao interference. Just then, a tremendous shockwave came, a majestic Taiyi Golden Immortal’s head, like a massive star, spun as it flew over.

This head, severed by Chen Shi, spun and flew toward them, its eyes firing intensely bright Mystic Sky Sword Light, slicing the cosmos, even segmenting the body of the Primordial Worm!

"Buzz—"

The head had a sinister gaze, incredibly massive, and within the brilliance were countless spinning sword lights, dense like a school of fish, slicing closely alongside the Black Sandalwood Ship, making everyone’s scalps tingle.

As the head smashed into the dark depths, Mystic Sky Sword Light continued to swirl, shining ominously from the darkness.

The Primordial Worm’s limbs, blocking the battle’s waves, were sliced into pieces, writhing in the starry sky, rapidly transforming into bizarre insects, each flying away to escape afar.

Huan Shu flicked her hand, throwing out a long whip, capturing one of the bizarre insects. The insect nearly dragged her out of the ship.

Huan Shu struggled to stand firm, others rushed forward to help, together pulling the whip, tying it to the dragon head at the bow.

The bizarre insect, pulling the Black Sandalwood Ship, accelerated to escape into the distance.

And in this brief moment, Chen Shi had already slain over ten Taiyi Golden Immortals, causing even greater destruction!

"Mr. Chen, cease your arrogance. Do you recognize Great Song Miao Daojun Zhao Ji?"

From behind, incomparably bright light arrived, so illuminating that everyone on the ship was shadowless, Daoist Qing Yang, in the midst of chaos, looked back in despair.

Witnessing a pill furnace soaring, within it, a myriad of suns seemed to rise, the furnace light dazzlingly bright!

Daoist Qing Yang didn’t recognize this treasure, but judging solely by its might, he knew they were doomed.

His lips quivered, and in his eyes, another magical treasure ascended, a colossal ancient tree, bearing countless rosy clouds, approaching the Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace.

Daoist Qing Yang turned his face away, unable to bear watching further.

The prowess within these two magical treasures had already surpassed his imagination. The impact, likely meant the aftermath would swiftly reach them, reducing them to dust!

The bizarre insect at the front, pulling the ship, also seemed to sense the crisis, shrieking chaotically. At this moment, numerous bizarre insects fleeing from other directions flew over, merging with this one.

The only thing visible was this bizarre insect growing larger, dragging the Black Sandalwood Ship at a breathtaking speed towards the distance.

Daoist Qing Yang looked back, Daoist Taiqing’s Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace colliding with the Demon Blood Treasure Tree, the power of these two major treasures almost shattering the surrounding starry sky, terrifying ripples driving the stars to surge towards them.

From within the intensely bright glow emerged another magical treasure, precisely Emperor Wan Shou wielding the Demon-sweeping Duster, aiming to annihilate Chen Shi!

This treasure was also extraordinary, being Daoist Spirit Treasure’s demon-cleansing item. In the collision, the countless branches of the Demon Blood Treasure Tree flew chaotically, nearly shattered by the two treasures.

"Whoosh—"

Ripples struck, engulfing the Black Sandalwood Ship and bizarre insect, the ship like duckweed, rolling up and down in the stormy waves. The Treasure Hunting Immortal on board could only hold onto the mast tightly, lest they be thrown off.

The ship’s deck exploded with a crack, the hull almost destroyed, Huan Shu’s long whip also snapped, and the bizarre insect was flung somewhere unknown.

As the Black Sandalwood Ship seemed about to disintegrate, suddenly the hull made a "thud", the bow compressed slightly downward.

The Black Sandalwood Ship rocked, yet in wave after wave of impact, astonishingly managed to smoothly sail out of this chaotic star domain.

Everyone aboard caught their breath, unconsciously cheering, yet the cheers gradually faded, everyone stared towards the bow.

"Chen Zhenwang!" Daoist Qing Yang exclaimed losing his voice.

At the bow, Chen Shi turned back, offering them a slight smile, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I dared to board hastily just now out of necessity, haven’t had a chance to inform the ship captain yet, I apologize for my impertinence."

He seemed injured, his complexion not looking good, yet his clothing was intact, with no visible wounds, unknown where he was hurt.

Still, surviving the magical treasures of Taiqing and Spirit Treasure, he had right to be proud.

Huan Shu was the first to regain composure, hastily said, "Chen Zhenwang, those words shouldn’t be said. We are all but fellow wanderers, we should help each other."

Everyone on board felt tense, too afraid to speak.

Chen Shi was injured, the pursuers must be exceedingly formidable, far beyond what they could contend with. If discovered here, it would surely implicate them.

Such an encounter, so close to them, meant there was absolutely no possibility of escape!

Huan Shu steered the Black Sandalwood Ship, urging, "Why aren’t you helping?"

Everyone snapped back to reality, hurriedly stepped forward to help repair the Black Sandalwood Ship, the Treasure Ship sailing deeper into the starry sky.

Chen Shi looked towards the dark cosmos, inquiring, "Miss Huan Shu, where are you headed?"
