The city in front of them belonged to the Ming Province. As long as they could cross the Ming Province, they wouldn't be far from the thirteen cities.

However, what made them uncomfortable was that the city in front of them was surrounded by a deathly aura that permeated the city, causing them to feel a sense of disgust.

"What's going on in the city? There's such a strong aura of death."

The four of them carefully entered the city. However, before they could even enter the city gates, a corpse suddenly fell from the sky and hung right in front of them. The corpse's clothes were hanging on the iron gate, preventing him from landing.

Fina was frightened and hid in Lin Xiao's embrace with a pale face. She had seen dead people before, but she was scared by the body hanging in front of her.

Before they had even entered the city, they already saw such a miserable scene. It was obvious that the situation in the city was even worse. The four of them were fully focused as they observed their surroundings.

The city was filled with corpses, as if they had experienced a massacre. In front of the four of them, there was a large buzzing sound, like the sound of locusts passing through.

They approached quietly, and in front of them was a school field. Fina could not help but scream when she saw the scene on the field.

The training field was densely packed with a large number of insects. These bugs were as long as a palm but as thick as a thumb. The translucent wings on their backs flapped.

The most frightening thing was that beneath the worms were the corpses of cultivators. They were gnawing at the dead man.

Fina's scream alarmed the bugs in the training field. Seeing so many bugs turn their heads towards them, Lin Xiao immediately thought, "Not good."

The fatty cursed, "Damn it!" He used his left hand to support his right hand while his right palm was placed in front of him. A slight fluctuation appeared in the air in front of them. If one were to look carefully, they would be able to see that there was a transparent crevice in the space in front of them. There was a feeling of a staircase between the two spaces.

"Hurry up and think of a way to get rid of these insects. These are Soul Devouring Insects. They will kill creatures and then devour their souls. This amount of Soul Devouring Insects is something we cannot resist."

The fatty's tone was very solemn. Lin Xiao noticed that when Fang Tian heard the words Soul Devouring Bug, his face turned pale. It was obvious that this kind of creature was very scary.

However, they couldn't find a way to escape at all. The entire city had probably been swept up by the Soul Devouring Beetles, so there was a chance that they were just one group.

The Soul Devouring Insects in the drill ground had already engulfed Lin Xiao and the rest. However, they disappeared in front of Fatty, as if they had entered a container.

This was the power of space. The fatty changed the space in front of the four of them, moving other spaces over.

At the moment, Fatty could not care less about where the Soul Devouring Bug would appear once it entered the space he was in. All he could do was to preserve his life.

"Quickly!"

He was forced to take a step back. Maintaining the laws of space required a large amount of Dao energy. Moreover, when the Soul Devouring Worm flew over, it directly impacted his body. His arm was a bit deformed.

"There's no other way. We're all going to die here." Fang Tian let out a long, indignant sigh towards the sky. Behind them, another swarm of Soul Devouring Insects appeared, buzzing sounds that caused one to be upset.

"If I didn't die under the petticoat of a beauty and die in the mouth of you trash, I would have been truly unreconciled."

Fang Tian used his Dharma Idol to form a three-meter-tall giant. With the ancient halberd in hand, he dashed into the Soul Devouring Insects behind him. Even if he had to die, he had to take them back.

A despairing scene appeared. On the left, right, and above their heads, a large number of Soul Devouring Insects appeared. They were all attracted by their companions.

At this moment, Fina tightly held onto the corner of Lin Xiao's clothes. She did not expect that he would die right after leaving the Yun family. However, dying with someone she loved gave him a little bit of comfort.

Die? Accept his fate? Of course not!

Lin Xiao would never accept his fate like this. He could not die, he still had to bring Fina back to see Ye Qing.

Since the Soul Devouring Bug could devour souls, he could also devour the Soul Devouring Bug.

"Fatty, Fang Tian, lure the Soul Devouring Worms to me!"

Lin Xiao's aura surged, and a mysterious power of the Dao began to emit from his body. It circulated around his body, and a black hole appeared in his hands. It was unknown where it led, but there was also a mass of chaotic energy.

As matters stood, it was impossible for Lin Xiao to hide the truth that he had managed to grasp the Primal Chaos Path. Life was the most important thing.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, both Fang Tian and the fatty noticed the black hole. A look of surprise flashed in both of their eyes as they said their goodbyes and led the mindless Soul Devouring Bug towards the black hole.

Afterwards, the two of them disappeared in a flash. The Soul Devouring Worm directly charged into the black hole. The black hole seemed to have no bottom. The dense black pillar formed into a swarm of Soul Devouring Worms that entered the black hole without any signs of life.

Not only that, but the black hole was still enlarging at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Soul Devouring Bug was of a much higher grade than any land or rock, and was thus very useful in the growth of the Primal Chaos Path.

"I have long since heard of the Primal Chaos Path, but this is the first time I have seen it. Fortunately, Lin Xiao you have the Primal Chaos Path in your hands, otherwise, we would really be finished." Fang Tian patted his chest with lingering fear and sighed. This number of Soul Devouring Insects was simply a natural disaster. A city had been massacred to death just like that.

The fatty nodded in agreement, staring fixedly at the black hole. Currently, the black hole was about the size of a quarter of an acre. It was extremely terrifying, and even he, who was standing at the side, felt as if he was being sucked in.

However, Lin Xiao remained silent. His eyebrows were furrowed together and his forehead was covered in sweat. The chaos path had grown too much in one go. He couldn't withstand such an increase.

The meticulous Fina discovered the problem and quickly told Fatty and Fang Tian. At this moment, the two of them also reacted, Lin Xiao was indeed unable to speak. Her expression became extremely solemn, as if she was unable to move.

"Lin Xiao, hurry up and stop. If you continue to absorb the soul worms, your body will explode and you will die. The remaining Soul Devouring Insects are too few, we can take care of them." The fatty shouted at Lin Xiao, and the latter was unable to even turn around to look at him. Only after a long while did he finally spit out a sentence.

"I can't stop. I'm not controlling it."

As Lin Xiao's words came out, the three of them immediately revealed shocked expressions. Then, their hearts began to feel anxious. Indeed, the words that the Primal Chaos path had said on purpose were true?

Currently, the Primal Chaos path was moving on its own. Lin Xiao was actually unable to break free from it.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's face was flushed red and she clenched her teeth, as if she was in pain. Fina was at a loss and could only hug Lin Xiao from the side. She could not think of any other way to help Lin Xiao.

"In that case, I'll have to offend you."

As if he had thought of something, Fang Tian walked over to Lin Xiao's side and pulled Fina away. Then, he turned his head away with the halberd in his hand and used the other end of the stick to hit Lin Xiao's body, sending the latter flying horizontally.

Lin Xiao was severely injured, and the black hole was unable to take shape. It was forcefully broken. Without the black hole, the remaining Soul Devouring Insects charged at them once again. However, the number was no longer frightening. Fang Tian and Fatty were enough to deal with them.

On the other side, Fina rushed to Lin Xiao's side and held him in her arms. Blood flowed from the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth, and her state of mind was somewhat poor.

Drops after droplets of tears fell on Lin Xiao's face. He reluctantly reached out his hand to caress Fina's face, shaking his head to show that he was alright.

No matter what, they had managed to escape a calamity.
