Whoosh!
The horn of the Gold-Devouring Insect King at the perfected Earth Immortal realm released a beam of golden light that swept toward Lin Fei and the others.
Countless Gold-Eating Beetles also swarmed toward them, intent on surrounding and killing every intruder.
"Senior Cangming, be careful. There may well be another Earth Immortal realm Gold-Eating Beetle hiding nearby."
According to the Holy Demon Sect's records, Gold-Eating Beetles reproduced sexually.
In other words, if there was an Earth Immortal realm insect king, there would certainly be an Earth Immortal realm insect mother as well.
Spirit insects maintained a strict hierarchy.
Only Gold-Eating Beetles of the same realm would breed with one another.

The elderly-looking Earth Immortal incarnation spoke.
"As we agreed earlier, the three of us will deal with that Earth Immortal realm insect king."
"The rest of you, handle the ordinary spirit insects and get through their territory as quickly as possible."
The other Earth Immortal incarnation was a woman. She turned toward the Cangming Sea Dragon's Earth Immortal incarnation, wariness in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, let's strike together."
The Cangming Sea Dragon nodded. The three unleashed powerful attacks, first blasting the ordinary Gold-Eating Beetles aside.
Immediately afterward, the three flew forward and spread out, deploying a formation to surround the Gold-Eating Beetle at the perfected Earth Immortal realm.
Lin Fei and the other cultivators followed the five Human Immortal incarnations toward Medicine Mountain.
The Gold-Eating Beetles formed a golden barrier, trying to suppress the group.
But under the attacks of the five Human Immortal incarnations, these ordinary Gold-Eating Beetles struggled to hold out.
Just then.
Another Gold-Eating Beetle appeared, radiating an Earth Immortal realm aura.
It was slightly smaller than the insect king,
