As Xiao Fei was being chased by a fourth-order Dao Worm into the spatial realm, Zhang Yi, in the outside world, was not idle.
He sought out the Palace Master of Jade Void to request his assistance.
However, he found that the Palace Master of Jade Void had gone to battle the Golden Immortals of the Demon Alliance.
For the time being, the Golden Immortals on the human side were unable to spare any time.
Fortunately, Xiao Fei crushed the life-saving jade token gifted by Xuan Tian Dao Zun, summoning a projection of Xuan Tian Dao Zun, who could easily slaughter a fourth-order Dao Worm.
The projection of Xuan Tian Dao Zun did not employ any special divine abilities; it merely grabbed the fourth-order Dao Worm's tongue and smashed it around.
The fourth-order Dao Worm, which had been ferociously rampaging moments ago, was smashed into pieces.
Concurrently, the projection of Xuan Tian Dao Zun began to dissipate.
This jade token only contained the power of one strike from Xuan Tian Dao Zun and could not be sustained for long.
After a moment, the projection of Xuan Tian Dao Zun vanished, leaving behind scattered fragments of the Dao Worm.
Some of the Dao Worm fragments were decomposing, seeping into the ground, and disappearing without a trace.
"No, he's not completely dead!"
Everyone present could tell.
Once Immortals reached the Golden Immortal realm, their bodies underwent a qualitative change, making them extremely difficult to kill.
Even if only a drop of blood or a flake of scalp remained, they could be reborn.
"Let's quickly dispose of these body parts; we can't let him regenerate."
Xiao Fei said, taking out a yellow gourd and aiming it at the scattered body parts, sucking them in.
However, the fourth-order Dao Worm was too large, and these body parts were too numerous, scattered throughout the entire Fifth World.
Although Xiao Fei's yellow gourd was efficient, it couldn't absorb them all. Many body parts had already dissipated and merged into the ground.
At the same time, Immortal Lord Bing Huo and Ning also took action.
Immortal Lord Bing Huo used his flame divine abilities to turn the scattered fragments into ashes.
Ning directly devoured these body parts; for him, devouring was the fastest solution.
The five individuals who were in seclusion for their breakthroughs were also awakened by the immense commotion and came out to investigate.
They joined in the effort to deal with the body parts.
"Whoosh~"
"Finally, all handled!"
With the eight of them working together, it took about ten seconds to process all the scattered body parts in the entire world.
"What about the ones that dissipated into the ground?"
Ning was still uneasy, as a powerful being of this realm could regenerate from a single drop of blood.
"There's Yuan; perhaps she can deal with these vanishing body parts."
Meanwhile, Yuan, who had already infiltrated the area, was using all her might to expel the Dao Worm flesh and blood that had seeped into the soil.
Yuan, as the former Heavenly Dao of the Tian Yuan Realm, was kept by Xiao Fei in the Jian Mu World and was entrusted with managing the Heavenly Dao.
She could mobilize the origin power of every world, making her the most suitable for dealing with the Dao Worm body parts that had seeped into the ground.
Beneath the now-calm ground, a fierce battle was taking place.
Yuan's strength was ultimately insufficient, and she gradually fell into a disadvantage.
After all, her own strength was not great, at most comparable to a True Immortal, and she was far from being able to contend with a fourth-order Dao Worm.
"Rumble..."
The ground suddenly churned violently, and a small figure in a red dress appeared in the center of the soil. It was Yuan.
Yuan appeared very disheveled, her hair was messy, her red dress was torn, and she was missing an arm.
"How are you?"
Immortal Lord Bing Huo picked Yuan up and asked anxiously.
"I lost!"
"This world has been taken over and controlled by him."
Yuan said with some dejection.
"This place is not safe; we must withdraw from the Fifth World immediately."
Xiao Fei shouted, having decided to completely abandon this world.
However, Xiao Fei then discovered that he could not open the world channel at all.
"We can't get out; this world has been sealed by him, and it cannot be opened."
In the brief moment that Yuan was expelled, the Fifth World began to change.
Fiery tendrils extended from the ground, spreading to every corner of this world.
Wherever the tendrils reached, immortal qi and spiritual energy rapidly disappeared, being absorbed by them.
The green land that had been covered with immortal herbs turned into a desert in an instant.
The eight people present used their divine abilities to strike these fiery tendrils.
The tendrils instantly dispersed under their attacks.
However, such attacks caused no damage to the Dao Worm. In the next moment, more tendrils would emerge.
"What do we do? He wants to devour us, along with the entire Fifth World!"
Everyone was at a loss as to how to deal with this situation.
They were indestructible.
But the other party was rapidly devouring all energy!
If this continued, they would all die here before long.
Xiao Fei tried to unleash his various laws, but none of them had any effect on the Dao Worm.
Huang Feifei also unleashed her laws of life and death with all her might, but the effect was minimal.
The others displayed their divine abilities and fought desperately, but they could not prevent the situation from worsening.
The fourth-order Dao Worm, which had mastered the Great Dao, was equivalent to a Golden Immortal. Even though it had been battered by Xuan Tian Dao Zun once, it was still not something they could handle.
"Let me try!"
At this moment, Ning gritted his teeth and made a decision.
With that, his body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of smoke and merging into the ground.
He also had a Dao Worm body and possessed the ability to devour a world.
After Ning also merged into the ground, a large number of black tendrils appeared in this world, entangling with the previous fiery tendrils.
These two forces thus coexisted in the same world, devouring each other.
You bite me, I bite you; you eat me, I eat you.
The remaining people were of no help at this point and could only await the final outcome.
As time slowly passed, the two types of tendrils in the world began to merge.
Initially, the black tendrils contained a bit of fire, and the fiery tendrils contained a bit of black.
Then, these two types of tendrils became indistinguishable, becoming identical, making it impossible to tell who was Ning and who was the fiery-patterned Dao Worm.
After a long while, the tendrils in the world gradually calmed down and stopped devouring each other.
Then, these tendrils dissipated, and a giant Dao Worm emerged from the void.
"Ning!"
"Ning! Is that you?"
Although Xiao Fei knew the chances were slim, he anxiously asked.
At this moment, a fiery mark appeared on the head of the Dao Worm, clear and dazzling!
"Hahaha... I'm back!"
The fiery-patterned Dao Worm opened its massive mouth again, and several large tongues extended out, sweeping towards the remaining seven people.
Even though Xiao Fei used his spatial laws, he was firmly entangled by a red, large tongue.
He then felt his immortal power draining, flowing towards the large tongue, and his body growing weaker.
In this moment of crisis, Xiao Fei actually had an absurd thought.
He would never use his fifth limb to refine a clone again.
This clone had just shown some backbone before encountering a large tongue, and now he was about to perish here.
It was inauspicious!
