Xiao Fei moved rapidly through a void of chaos.
He planned to take his army of giants to raid the demon lairs. While the Heavenly Immortals had sufficient combat power, there wasn't a single Celestial Monarch among them.
If they accidentally encountered a demon Celestial Monarch, their entire army could be annihilated.
Therefore, he intended to find Ning and Zhu Yu to help him.
Since Xiao Fei had recovered a portion of his divine soul and regained his four avatars, he occasionally contacted Ning.
Given Ning's cultivation method of devouring his own kind, his advancement speed would be rapid as long as he wasn't discovered by others.
The last time they met, Ning had already cultivated into a third-tier Dao Worm, possessing strength that slightly surpassed that of a Celestial Monarch.
Although Zhu Yu was often described as "kidney deficient," he had many hidden trump cards.
If all else failed, they could have Zhu Yu employ his charm.
With his looks, he had long surpassed race, age, gender, and... everything, appealing to all!
Xiao Fei even took pride in having a friend like Zhu Yu.
The more friends like him, the better!
In the chaos, following the contact method Ning had left him, Xiao Fei flew for about half a day before finally sensing Ning's aura amidst a group of Dao Worms.
Ning was still adhering to the strategy Xiao Fei had previously devised for him, blending in with a group of Dao Worms and preying on his companions whenever opportunities arose.
Under his deliberate disguise, he had good relations and was well-liked by other Dao Worms.
He now held high prestige among this group.
Today, several Dao Worms approached Ning to report a situation.
"Lately, people in our group have been disappearing without a trace."
Upon hearing this, Ning feigned surprise and asked with apparent concern.
"How can such a thing happen? How long has it been going on? How many have disappeared? Have any clues been found?"
In truth, Ning was a bit surprised. He had been very discreet.
And he had been quite restrained recently, having only secretly consumed a few dozen companions. He hadn't even had his fill yet, and someone had already noticed something amiss!
"According to our understanding, it's been several hundred years. The number of missing individuals should be over fifty, and no useful clues have been found yet."
Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't given himself away.
"I suspect there are enemies lurking around us!
Investigate! You must investigate thoroughly and find this culprit! I will tear him to shreds and avenge our lost comrades!"
Ning displayed immense righteousness and his abhorrence of evil at this moment.
The Dao Worms who had come to report were deeply impressed by his demeanor.
"How many people know about this matter?"
"Only us few. As soon as we discovered this, we immediately came to report to you!"
"Oh! Let me think..."
Ning fell into contemplation, subtly observing the Dao Worms before him.
He was inwardly pondering that the number was a bit too large; he might get too full.
"For now, do not spread the word, lest we alert the enemy.
How about this, I will personally accompany you to investigate!"
Thus, Ning led this group of Dao Worms out of their camp.
These Dao Worms, remembering Ning's instructions, did not reveal a single word to other Dao Worms they encountered along the way.
Ning was so moved by them that he decided to let them die in the most satisfying way later.
To ensure smoother operations each time he struck, Ning had also set up a large trap outside.
Ning led these Dao Worms, following vague clues, winding their way around until they were finally led into the trap.
Only then did Ning finally reveal his fangs.
These few Dao Worms finally recognized Ning's true nature, but it was too late.
They were all merely second-tier Dao Worms, and the strength difference was too great. Moreover, Ning had set up formations here, leaving them no chance to escape.
As Ning devoured them greedily within the formation, his heart suddenly stirred.
"Big Brother has arrived!"
Ning, filled with excitement, rushed out of the trap formation and saw Xiao Fei flying towards him.
"Big Brother!"
"Little Ning!"
Having not seen each other for a long time, they naturally had much to discuss.
There were still some Dao Worm corpses in the trap, which Ning had Xiao Fei collect with his gourd.
"Little Ning, I've come to ask for your help with something!"
"Please, Big Brother, as long as I can do it, I'll go through mountains of knives and seas of fire!"
"It's like this..."
Xiao Fei explained his plan to Ning, who without a word, took Xiao Fei towards Zhu Yu's world.
Zhu Yu had been living in the Tian Yuan Realm for years.
When he sensed the appearance of more Dao Worms, he had already prepared for battle.
Unexpectedly, when he rushed out of the Tian Yuan Realm, he saw Xiao Fei and Ning.
"Why, it's you, kid!"
"I missed you, so I came to see you!"
Xiao Fei concealed all his aura and cautiously followed Zhu Yu into the Tian Yuan Realm.
With his current strength, entering worlds below required him to suppress all his cultivation aura.
Otherwise, if he stepped in carelessly, the world would be directly destroyed.
Upon sensing his arrival, the Heavenly Dao of this world trembled in fear, worried that Xiao Fei would shatter it with a single step.
"Huh? How did the Tian Yuan Realm become like this?"
Xiao Fei looked around. This world, once so familiar to him, was now riddled with holes and its spiritual energy was thin.
The highest cultivation level in the entire world, apart from Zhu Yu, was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
"The spiritual energy in all the lower worlds is declining. It's a miracle the Tian Yuan Realm hasn't been destroyed."
Zhu Yu replied casually. If not for his full protection, the Tian Yuan Realm would have been devoured by Dao Worms long ago.
"Based on the current situation, the Tian Yuan Realm shouldn't last much longer, perhaps another ten thousand years at most."
Zhu Yu sighed. Human effort was ultimately unable to reverse the general trend.
"What a pity for the beings of this world!"
The destruction of every world was accompanied by the demise of countless beings.
Other worlds were distant to them, and they didn't feel it deeply. However, this world had countless connections to them, and they ultimately had some feelings for it.
Especially the former Eastern Continent, where the human forces he had established were still being passed down.
Xiao Fei's divine sense covered the entire world. The beings of this world were still busy, completely unaware of the impending doom.
"How about this, after this matter is concluded, I can take all the beings of this world with me."
His third Jianmu world was vast, much larger than the Tian Yuan Realm. Not only was its spiritual energy abundant, but it also contained faint immortal energy.
Most importantly, this third Jianmu world was currently empty.
At that time, he could move the giants from the first Jianmu world to the second Jianmu world.
This way, he would free up two worlds at once and could accommodate a large population.
