My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Empress Wei of Great Wei watched the air around her, focusing on those invisible entities.

They were swooping towards her at a swift pace.

Stirring the air, they caused ripples to surge as if the very air was the surface of water.

Those ripples, which appeared momentarily, grew larger and grander, the whole shrine space seeming to be disturbed by an invisible pair of large hands.

The entire area burst into tumultuous waves in an instant.

Empress Wei didn’t have time to think further, her Qi swept out. Although she couldn’t see them, she could sense, with her Qi, the presence of tiny, hardly perceivable dust particles floating in the air.

These particles were invisible to the naked eye, but under a magnification of millions of times, one could see that they were entirely white worms.

With sharp mouthparts and lengthy wings adorning their bodies.

These Worms had soft bodies, with heads that were slightly elongated, wiggling back and forth, looking like squirming intestines. They didn’t have eyes, yet they seemed to sense everything around them.

As Empress Wei’s Qi swept out, she instantly perceived countless tiny Worms swarming towards her.

"Scatter!"

Her face slightly sank, and with a delicate shout, her Qi vibrated. Light burst forth from between her lips, and the numerous Worms around her scattered in alarm.

But the Worms quickly realized—

the Qi swept across their bodies,

but it did not harm them in the slightest.

It merely caused their bodies to undulate a bit due to the vibration.

After a moment of panic, the Worms quickly reformed their formation and charged at Empress Wei again.

Empress Wei’s complexion turned even paler.

At this moment, she was uncomfortable with the mysterious existence in the air.

She suddenly realized that, as a Sky-Man, her attacks couldn’t even kill some of these hardly visible Worms!

What on earth was going on?

This Secret Realm, as well as the bizarre chicken that had just claimed to be the Demonic Moon Emperor, hadn’t managed to instill any fear in her. However, these Worms had.

Empress Wei’s expression darkened with resolve, no longer hesitating, she immediately retreated with a swift flight backward.

But as fast as she retreated,

the surrounding Worms converged even faster.

To Empress Wei’s perception, within the solemn and stern shrine, a swarm of Worms moved, like surges of white tides billowing forward.

In only the span of a few breaths, Empress Wei was engulfed by them.

They were densely packed, and in vast numbers; a mere glance at them could induce trypophobia.

Surrounded by Worms, the cold and majestic purple eyes of Empress Wei were filled with fear.

All she could do now was to continuously vibrate the Qi around her, trying to keep all the peculiar insects out.

But the Worms, like agile snakes, clung tightly to her.

Empress Wei’s struggle became feeble.

In the air, which was now rippling like water, there came a hissing noise.

It was uncertain whether it was the sibilance of the air or the hissing of the Worms.

Outside the shrine, all the strong beings who hadn’t reached the Heavenly Human Realm saw Empress Wei looking as if she was madly fighting the air.

She appeared terribly neurotic.

Although most couldn’t see or perceive the Worms, their instincts vaguely triggered an ominous premonition within them.

Chills ran down their backs. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

While the numerous strong presences watched Empress Wei with confusion, the Seven Star Sect Master, who had previously escaped the shrine, seemed to have seen something, cursed "Dammit" under his breath, and quickly made a panicked exit.

He followed the footsteps of the other Sky-Men and left.

This Secret Realm was simply too bizarre!

For the Seven Star Sect Master, staying with the other numerous Sky-Men was perhaps the safest option.

Seeking opportunities was no longer the most important thing for the Seven Star Sect Master at this moment.

Survival was what mattered most!

The Seven Star Sect Master, who had clawed his way up from the very bottom, knew well the principle that only through living could there be hope.

Shortly after the Seven Star Sect Master left, the Worms assaulting Empress Wei found that they couldn’t stick to her body at the moment, and they became even more agitated and frenzied.

The hissing sounds in the air became increasingly sharp and dense.

Soon after, they turned their attention to the surrounding area. The cold and ruthless gaze of the multitude of Worms swept over the many strong presences and finally settled on Yuan Wuxie of the Great Abyss Dynasty, who was severely wounded.

Upon seeing Yuan Wuxie of the Great Abyss Dynasty, they were like predators discovering a delicious feast.

After letting out a hissing cry,

they instantly pounced towards the severely wounded elder, Yuan Wuxie.

By this time, Yuan Wuxie had already sustained heavy injuries, and his perception had greatly declined.

Although he could sense something was around Empress Wei, it was invisible and intangible to him.

He had wanted to leave this trouble-filled place early, but with his injuries, he simply could not manage to forcefully get up.

His cultivation in the Heavenly Human Realm, placed in his decaying body, couldn’t muster even a third of his strength from his prime.

When Yuan Wuxie of the Great Abyss Dynasty realized that a group of unseen entities were sweeping towards him and ripples formed in the air around him, his face changed dramatically.

But before he could react,

suddenly, Yuan Wuxie felt his body come into contact with something chilling. His body shook, and then, from all over his body, there came a dull, dense gnawing sound.
