First, his arm moved slowly.
Next, in the half of his face that had been reduced to bare bones, a shadow suddenly appeared within the hollow eye socket.
Fortunately, it was not that giant, dead for who knew how many years, coming back to life.
Instead, densely packed, elongated monsters crawled out from every gap in his body.
They looked exactly like the one Guang Tian Ge had just slain.
The only difference was their enormous disparity in size.
Some of the smallest were no bigger than ordinary people.
And the largest...
Looking at the huge creature squeezing out of the giant's eye socket, Guang Tian Ge's expression immediately darkened.
These things were clearly jumping around full of life, yet not the slightest trace of vitality spread from their bodies.
"Wait! These things..."
At that moment, a female Dao Integration Realm cultivator in Guang Tian Ge's team seemed to have discovered something. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she spoke in disbelief:
"Bacteria!"
Hearing this term, everyone froze for a moment before immediately revealing looks of comprehension.
Within the Myriad Realms Association, there were quite a few descendants of empires like Chongyang, who had continued on from the previous era through the Life Ark.
The knowledge the empire had once been most proud of had naturally spread throughout the Myriad Realms Association for a long time.
As for these tiny organisms from the microscopic world, even without the empire's special instruments from back then, their Dao Integration Realm cultivation allowed them to see them clearly.
It was just that after cultivators reached the Saint Realm, they had already condensed Dao-rule bodies, untouched by external objects. Naturally, things like bacteria and viruses could not appear on them.
Usually, these things could only be seen in places with large numbers of ordinary mortals.
