Stepping into the Divine Tomb.
An eerie aura surged forth, crimson light shooting in every direction as it swept toward them. Countless tiny red insects lay concealed in the air, utterly invisible.
Each insect was basically the size of a speck.
With a single glance, Chu Jiang recognized their origin.
They were Red Armored Beetles.
Those ghastly things that had once dwelled within the Seven Divine Beings.

Something must have happened within the Divine Tomb over these past few thousand years.

"There should be a mother body behind these larvae,"
