Su Jie looked up, seeing a massive insect shadow covering the sky and sun above the Sky Dome. The colossal body stretched over three thousand meters, and as its crimson scales flew at high speed, they erupted dark purple flames from friction with the air. Patches of crimson scale armor were as large as ten meters, densely growing on the mountainous insect body. A thousand pale Corpse Hands pressed against the air, resembling pillars hanging down from the Sky Dome, supporting the thousand-hand centipede’s serpentine body like a sprawling mountain range. As it skimmed low over the land, hard earth cracked into deep valleys, and as six pairs of purple cloud wings flapped, the land turned into hot lava. This update ıs available on novel•fire.net The thousand-hand centipede roared excitedly, diving into the ground and joyfully rolling around. Beneath it was originally a vein of black iron ore, one of Ghost Ridge Palace’s spiritual material production sites. The earth and iron ore, supposed to be sturdy, yielded like soft cake before the thousand-hand centipede, unable to resist even slightly. When the thousand-hand centipede landed, it pressed the surrounding earth down entirely; the ground couldn’t endure the weight of the thousand-hand centipede, half of its body sunk into the iron ore, only its back remained above the ground, looking like the earth suddenly lifted up into a mountain ridge. Even the black iron ore was ignited by the high temperature carried by the thousand-hand centipede, rapidly forming an enormous sea of magma. The thousand-hand centipede rolled back and forth, sweeping away waves of ten thousand meters high, playing like a child, melting the black iron deep within the earth vein completely. Countless melted black iron transformed into flowing iron juice, dripping from the thousand-hand centipede’s mountainous body, forming a layer of keratinized iron armor. Raising its head from the sea of magma, the thousand-hand centipede’s fierce and domineering triangular head, with vertical pupil compound eyes reflecting red light, grew rugged curved horns, resembling a crown of dragons flipped upon it. The thousand-hand centipede, absorbed in playing, roared towards the sky, hot winds sweeping across all directions, igniting forests, shattering the earth, each breath carrying an atmosphere as if it could burn the Sky Dome to ashes, the scene spectacularly grand. "Gosh, it’s too big." Su Jie sucked in a cold breath, looking at the thousand-hand centipede’s posture, momentarily astounded. The thousand-hand centipede of top grade eight refinements was five hundred meters long; now it escalated to three thousand meters with nine refinements. From a distance, the body covered in red scales extended to the horizon, each shell segment engraved with ferocious patterns of heaven and earth, each slight movement of the thousand pale limbs, every flip of the mountainous body, could cause undulating earthquakes underground, making mountains tremble, silencing all things, drawing sulfur fire columns bursting from volcanoes hundreds of miles away. "It’s not a little bug anymore." Behind Su Jie, Han Ruyan had arrived at an unknown time, watching the thousand-hand centipede frolic in the magma sea; her clear cold eyes rarely showed a hint of surprise. She too had seen the thousand-hand centipede grow step by step; it was just a little bug at first, now it’s grown into a three-thousand-meter-long bug, the change is quite substantial. Han Ruyan could feel the fierce and domineering aura exuding from the thousand-hand centipede, instinctively raising a strong vigilance within her heart. This meant the thousand-hand centipede’s strength was already enough to threaten her life safety. It’s worth noting, after advancing to Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost, her strength far exceeded other Ninth Grade Fierce Ghosts, undoubtedly reaching Purple Mansion realm strength. But now, after the thousand-hand centipede advanced to upper grade nine refinements, its strength leapt forward significantly, at least equalling her state. Having played for a few minutes, the thousand-hand centipede, seeing Su Jie on the other side, jubilantly broke through the sea, flying towards Su Jie. Above Su Jie’s head, the annual ring worm arched its body, uttering a sound towards the thousand-hand centipede, a tone expressing joy, also happy for the centipede’s promotion to top-grade nine refinement Gu insect. Su Jie watched the thousand-hand centipede descending from the sky, feeling the excitement within its body, smiling: "Go, take me for a fly." The thousand-hand centipede nodded repeatedly, its small actions stirring gusts, uprooting surrounding trees. Su Jie stepped onto the centipede’s head, as it soared into the air, before leaving, it called out proudly towards Han Ruyan, seemingly showing off, or perhaps provoking. Han Ruyan glanced, her physical actions contradicting her words, the blood-colored wedding dress like a long river of red filament spanned sky and earth, her figure quickly disappearing. This instantly sparked competitive spirit in the thousand-hand centipede, flapping its six pairs of purple cloud wings, wanting to contest Han Ruyan. Standing atop the thousand-hand centipede’s head, as it accelerated, white clouds and blue seas floated like duckweed, mountains and land extending beneath, sparking overwhelming heroism in Su Jie. "Hahaha, Xiao Qian, from today onwards, you’re a top-grade nine refinement Gu insect!" Su Jie laughed heartily, unable to resist constant sighing. Just recently in the wild, when he found the thousand-hand centipede and contracted it to become his Lifebound poisonous insect. At that time, the thousand-hand centipede was still an inferior poisonous insect, about the length of a chopstick, following Su Jie, living in Ghost Ridge Palace from hand to mouth, sometimes Su Jie even had to draw his own blood to feed it, until later when returning to Blue Star, good days arrived. Now, after more than ten years, the thousand-hand centipede has reached the pinnacle of Gu insects, becoming the ultimate top-grade nine refinement Gu insect of heaven and earth. The changes it went through, outsiders find it unimaginable. Especially the disciples and elders of Ghost Ridge Palace, such speed in cultivating Gu insects surely refreshes their worldview.
