Myriad Paths of the Dragon Emperor

don’t worry, QiuQiu. I’ve been through many dangers along the way. It’s not that easy to take my life with this little black mist.

you stand guard at the side. I’ll continue to refine!

Lu Ming smiled.

don’t worry. Focus on healing your injuries. Leave the side to me!

The ball continued.

Lu Ming nodded and continued to circulate the forbidden energy to refine.

This time, tens of thousands of cells on Lu Ming’s body were shining like stars.

These tens of thousands of cells were all cells that had been fused with secret runes.

Tens of thousands of cells were connected by a thread, forming a door.

In the middle of the door, a road made of yellow mud appeared, leading to an unknown, dark place.

On the yellow mud road, there was a pool of blood.

It had been more than ten years since Lu Ming created this yellow mud road. However, this pool of blood was still bright and eye-catching, as if it had just been spilled.

This was the ’door’ that connected Lu Ming to universe ocean.

At this moment, a suction force suddenly appeared in front of the yellow mud road. This suction force enveloped Lu Ming’s entire body. The black mist in his body seemed to be sucked in.

The black mist seemed to be unwilling to be sucked in and struggled madly. Instantly, Lu Ming’s entire body felt as if it was being pricked by countless needles. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Normal people would not be able to withstand such pain.

However, Lu Ming had suffered all kinds of pain along the way. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

”Continue!”

Lu Ming growled and activated it with all his might. Tens of thousands of cells emitted a dazzling glow and the ’door’ that was formed was also unusually dazzling.

The attraction force formed by the ’door’ became stronger. There was a powerful force that wanted to pull the black mist in his cells over.

Finally, a wisp of black mist was sucked in and floated above the yellow mud road.

Lu Ming was overjoyed.

Although he had only absorbed a little, there was still a long way to go before he could completely remove the black mist from his body.

However, this was a good sign.

As long as he could absorb the black mist, there would be hope. At most, it would take some time.

Lu Ming continued to operate the ’door’ to absorb the black mist.

After a while, another wisp of black mist was absorbed and fused with the previous wisp on the yellow mud road.

Lu Ming’s body seemed to be more relaxed.

Perhaps it was an illusion. After all, he had only absorbed two wisps, not even one-ten-thousandth of the total amount of black mist in his body.

Continue, continue ...

Lu Ming operated the ’door’ with all his might to absorb the black mist.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

After a day of hard work, about one percent of the black mist in his body had been absorbed.

After absorbing one percent, he really felt a little more relaxed. His aura also became a little stronger. His skin was shining with a faint luster.

At this rate, Lu Ming would be able to get rid of all the black mist in a hundred days.

Rustle ...

At this moment, rustling sounds were heard around the canyon, causing Lu Ming’s expression to change.

As for QiuQiu, it immediately became more alert. A few pieces protruded from its round body and formed a few battle sabers as it scanned its surroundings.

Rustle ...

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer. Finally, Lu Ming saw something approaching.

It was a type of insect.

These bugs were pitch-black and looked like centipedes. Each of them was as thick as an eggplant.

The canyon was densely packed with them. At a glance, there were countless of them.

The moment these centipede-like bugs saw Lu Ming, their bodies sprang up and they charged towards him like black Lightning.

”Kill!”

QiuQiu shouted loudly, and its round body rushed out. It brandished its battle saber, and suddenly, hundreds of dazzling saber beams burst out, slashing at those insects.

Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz!

When the saber hit the insect, it was as if it had hit metal, making clanging sounds.

Hundreds of insects were sent flying and cut in half.

However, the scariest thing was that the worms that were cut in half did not die. They continued to twist their bodies and charge at Lu Ming and QiuQiu.

After the worm was cut in half, it became two.

Their numbers did not increase, but decreased instead.

”Detestable!”

QiuQiu let out a loud cry and no longer attacked with Saber Light. Its body quickly wriggled and transformed into a mirror.

QiuQiu had devoured a few broken origin-grade divine weapons in the past. One of them was a broken mirror that was almost identical to the one QiuQiu was transforming into now.

The mirror glowed, and a huge beam of light shot out from inside, enveloping dozens of insects.

&Nbsp; this light beam had terrifying destructive power. When the bugs were hit, they exploded and turned to dust.

However, there were too many bugs in the surroundings.

They were densely packed and there were countless of them. They kept rushing toward Lu Ming and QiuQiu.

Although QiuQiu tried its best to resist, it could not stop all the bugs. Some of them broke through QiuQiu’s defense and rushed toward Lu Ming.

”Lu Ming, be careful!”

QiuQiu shouted.

In an instant, the bugs closed in on Lu Ming.

”Get lost!”

Lu Ming shouted coldly. A powerful force rushed out of his body and spread in all directions.

Those bugs were directly sent flying, along with some other bugs.

”Its attack power isn’t that strong.”

Lu Ming had an idea.

He realized that the bug’s attack was not strong. At most, it was equivalent to a virtual God-level attack.

If Lu Ming was at his peak, even if he stood there and let the bugs attack him, they would not be able to do anything to him.

However, Lu Ming’s current condition was too bad. He did not have even one-tenth of his strength left. In particular, there were many wounds on his body that had not healed. If he was attacked by so many bugs, it would have a great impact.

Although these bugs didn’t have strong attack power, their defense was amazing.

Although Lu Ming’s strength was not even one in a hundred, the shock wave he released earlier was at least equivalent to the attack power of a Divine King. These bugs were not destroyed but were only washed away.

Their attacks were so weak, but their defenses were so strong. The bugs in the universe junkyard were indeed strange.

The bugs twisted their bodies and charged at Lu Ming again.

Lu Ming released another shock wave, sending the bugs flying.

However, these insects were still fine and continued to charge at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming frowned.

Although the attack power of these insects was not strong, they kept charging at him, which still had a great impact on him.

He needed to circulate his energy to get rid of the black mist, but with the bugs interfering, he couldn’t focus on getting rid of the black mist.

The black mist was corroding him at all times. The longer he dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

With his remaining strength, it was still not enough to destroy these bugs. QiuQiu could destroy them, but there were too many bugs. QiuQiu alone could not kill them all.

BOOM!

When the bugs got close, Lu Ming burst out with a burst of energy and blasted them away.
