Xiao Fei was pulled out of the battlefield by Zhu Yu's great divine ability and appeared beside him.
"Huh! You're here too!"
Xiao Fei casually walked to Zhu Yu's side, patted his shoulder, and stained Zhu Yu's pristine Daoist robe with blood from his hand.
"Show some respect. I am now a Hao Yu Immortal Lord. There is an insurmountable gulf between us, and we are no longer cultivators of the same level."
Zhu Yu's demeanor was majestic, and he kept his distance from Xiao Fei. A faint glow emanated from his Daoist robe, and the bloodstains Xiao Fei had left vanished.
"Immortal Lord expert! Then you should have some strength now, right?"
Xiao Fei sized up Zhu Yu from head to toe, finding him unchanged. He hadn't grown an extra piece of flesh, so how had he become an Immortal Lord?
"It's the perfect time for you to show off your strength!"
As Xiao Fei spoke, he looked towards a certain black dog that was being chased by Earth Immortal experts, yelping in distress.
Little Black could only flee while explaining to everyone how dangerous the Dao Worms here were, hoping they would temporarily set aside their prejudices.
Some of these Earth Immortal experts had already prepared to leave, intending to move towards Xiao Fei's direction.
Others did stop their pursuit, but there were still over twenty stubborn cultivators who insisted on chasing and beating Little Black.
Zhu Yu saw Xiao Fei's intention and asked with confusion.
"You know this black dog?"
"He is my teacher! He once taught me and helped me many times."
Xiao Fei had already flown high into the sky, hovering in the air, and shouted loudly to the fighting crowd ahead.
"Hey, you fools over there, listen up. I plan to give the Innate Supreme Treasure to this pretty boy. If you're interested, ask him for it."
As Xiao Fei spoke, he actually threw the yellow gourd in his hand to Zhu Yu, then moved far away as if avoiding a plague god.
His current clone only had the strength of Mahayana and could not activate the yellow gourd at all.
If Zhu Yu had any greed for the gourd in his hand, he would have made a move when they were so close earlier.
Seeing this, those Earth Immortal experts had no more interest in chasing Little Black and all rushed towards them.
"Ahhh... Save me... Save..."
Just then, an injured Earth Immortal was suddenly entangled by countless tentacles.
While he was unable to resist, a large number of tentacles wrapped around him, forming a large ball.
The cries for help from within the tentacle ball, initially loud, quickly became weak.
But this was just the beginning, and soon another Earth Immortal expert was entangled by countless tentacles.
"Ahhh..."
Xiao Fei hovered in the air. In this desolate world, he had dealt with these tentacles for a long time.
He could sense that the strength of these tentacles had increased.
Moreover, their numbers had now become spread across the land, dense and numerous.
"Woof woof woof..."
In the distance, although Little Black had escaped the pursuit, his injuries made his movements inconvenient, and he was now entangled by a group of tentacles.
More and more tentacles surrounded Little Black. Little Black could use sonic attacks to make the tentacles numb and weak.
However, any attack from a cultivator was energy that these tentacles could absorb.
After a brief period of numbness and weakness, they would only become stronger after absorbing the energy.
Little Black would eventually fall into the grasp of these tentacles.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei took out "Blood Devourer" and flew towards Little Black's direction.
Under the influence of "Blood Devourer's" laws, any approaching tentacles immediately disintegrated.
"Teacher Little Black! Over here!"
In the short time it took Xiao Fei to rescue Little Black, several more Earth Immortals were entangled by tentacles.
The first two who were entangled had already become withered corpses, which were thrown to the ground by the tentacles and immediately shattered into many small pieces.
The tentacles continuously absorbed the energy of two Earth Immortals, greatly increasing their strength. As far as the eye could see, the entire world was covered in dense tentacles.
Xiao Fei had "Blood Devourer" clear the path, leading Little Black to rendezvous with Zhu Yu.
Screams from other Earth Immortal experts continued to be heard from the surroundings, a chorus of wails.
Only now did everyone finally realize how terrifying these tentacles were, but it was too late.
More and more Earth Immortal experts were drained by the tentacles, while the tentacles' strength continued to grow.
"Blood Devourer," which was clearing the path in front of Xiao Fei and Little Black, felt increasingly strained.
Initially, "Blood Devourer's" law domain could maintain a range of several miles, but it had now been compressed to within tens of feet.
Finally, Xiao Fei, along with Little Black and Zhu Yu, rendezvoused. Zhu Yu held Xiao Fei's yellow gourd and began to absorb the approaching tentacles.
A large number of tentacles were frightened and writhed around within tens of feet, but they dared not approach.
Although the attacks of others would cause the tentacles to break and decompose, all the energy was recovered and not wasted at all.
They could even absorb the energy generated by the cultivators' attacks to strengthen themselves.
However, this yellow gourd was different. It absorbed these tentacles into the gourd, causing the energy within the tentacles to be lost and unrecoverable.
The tentacles seemed to realize that this was a losing business, and they only surrounded Zhu Yu without attacking.
After meeting up with Zhu Yu, Xiao Fei also stopped within the protective range of the yellow gourd, finally able to catch his breath.
"Zhu Yu, do you have any plans? Can you find a way to leave?"
Xiao Fei saw that Zhu Yu was indeed different from his past self. Not only had his strength greatly increased, but his divine abilities and methods also seemed somewhat unfathomable.
His yellow gourd had been refined and recognized him as its master, yet Zhu Yu could use it as soon as he took it, and he used it more smoothly than Xiao Fei himself.
"We cannot let the Dao Worms continue to absorb the energy of other Earth Immortals, otherwise, no one will be able to stop them.
Once the Dao Worm's main body breaks free from its shell, it will devour the entire world, and even the surrounding worlds will gradually be devoured.
The more worlds it devours, the stronger the Dao Worm will become."
Xiao Fei didn't feel much about this. He had many clones anyway and hadn't died for a long time recently.
If he really didn't want to die, he could hide in space or cross over to other worlds, which wouldn't be difficult for him at all.
"How do you plan to stop it?"
Xiao Fei looked at Zhu Yu and Shui Ling'er behind him, wondering why he was so popular with female cultivators.
"Just follow behind me."
As Zhu Yu spoke, he raised the gourd and pointed its opening in a direction.
Before he could make a move, the tentacles were startled and quickly dodged. Those who were slow were directly absorbed into the gourd.
Zhu Yu strode forward, with Shui Ling'er closely following, then Xiao Fei and Little Black.
An Earth Immortal was fleeing towards them in a sorry state. Seeing Zhu Yu and his group, he was overjoyed.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving me!"
However, before this Earth Immortal could finish his thanks, Zhu Yu's yellow gourd was already pointed at him.
With a "whoosh," this Earth Immortal expert was easily absorbed into the yellow gourd by Zhu Yu.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei finally understood Zhu Yu's method of stopping it: he would first absorb all the remaining Earth Immortals into the yellow gourd, and then the Dao Worms would not be able to devour them.
As for the lives of these Earth Immortals, Zhu Yu did not care.
