My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Empress Wei of Great Wei listened to Cheng Guang’s words, thoughtful, then nodded slightly.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem wise to send it away," she said.

"Of course, if you were capable of dealing with so many Sky-Men, I naturally wouldn’t have sent it away. It’s just that you’re too useless," Cheng Guang said in an even tone, his handsome face showing a trace of disdain at just the right moment.

Empress Wei noticed the disdain on Cheng Guang’s face, her lips quivering slightly as she looked on, seemingly beyond reason.

How do you have the right to disdain me??

I am a Sky-Man, after all!

What about you!?

Empress Wei’s fingers clenched gently, tightened slowly, and then relaxed.

This was not because Empress Wei had fully come to terms with the situation, but because she realized she couldn’t lay a finger on Cheng Guang.

She had already sworn an oath. Experience more on empire

As a Sky-Man, once she broke her oath, the consequences were unbearable.

If not bound by the oath, Empress Wei would have loved to hang Cheng Guang from a tree and give him a good whipping to vent her frustration.

But at this moment, Empress Wei could only grit her teeth and think such thoughts.

Cheng Zhihai, seeing Empress Wei in such a state being manipulated by his son Guanger, couldn’t help feeling a secret delight.

This was Empress Wei after all.

She stood at the extreme end of Four Directions Mortal World, on par with Emperor Zhou, and yet here she was, being disdained by his own son.

This was no small matter.

Cheng Guang paid no attention to what Empress Wei and Cheng Zhihai were thinking. He shifted his gaze from Empress Wei’s face to the distant peculiar scorpion.

Although Emperor Zhou had taken his storage ring, at most he was merely keeping it safe for him.

Later, when Emperor Zhou discovered the gift he had sent him, he would probably be so excited that he would jump up right away.

For now, he still needed to think about how to obtain the wine from this urn.

The scorpion atop Around Immortal Residence was indifferent to his entry because it simply did not care about the residence at all.

The peculiar scorpion only cared about the wine urn.

If he harbored any thoughts of taking the wine, he feared he would be dead before he even started acting on it.

Forcing it was not an option.

He had to outwit, not outfight.

As Cheng Guang was contemplating, suddenly, he heard a series of roars coming from afar.

Emperor Zhou, his face tense with urgency, darted around, shouting out in a panic, "What are these ghastly things!!"

"How could there be such Mysterious Bugs inside the storage ring!!"

Behind him, one could see rice grain-sized Worms, with a touch of malevolence in their tiny eyes, aiming frantically at Emperor Zhou as if they had spotted something delicious.

Emperor Zhou and a group of Sky-Men seemed to also be chased by a swarm of Worms.

They had merely circled the surroundings for a short while.

It seemed they had attracted even the imperceptible Worms from the shrine of the Chicken Demon.

The air vibrated continuously, and the roaring was incessant.

"Damn it all!! What are these things!!"

"How come we can’t do anything about these Worms...? What are these Worms made of, that they are so tough!!"

"Run!! Run!! Don’t let the Worms contaminate you!!… Ahhh!!!"

In the sky, the angry shouts of Sky-Men persisted.

However, after a short while, a Sky-Man suddenly stiffened in movement, then let out a series of piercing screams. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Sky-Man was torn and bitten by the Worms, his breath faltered, and the immense pain caused his inner energy to momentarily lose control.

He attacked the Worms burrowing into his flesh in a state of despair and fear.

Fear and desperation made him utterly disregard whether such actions might harm himself.

His Divine Power was unleashed, attacking his own body without restraint.

Explosions sounded within the Sky-Man’s body.

With each explosion, his body involuntarily shook, and at the same time, from his pores, like fountains, billowed clouds of blood mist.

In the sky.

It did not take long for it to stain with blood again.

Meanwhile, due to the Sky-Man’s rushed and chaotic response, the injuries caused by the Worms’ bites worsened considerably.

In just a short while, the piercing screams grew fainter.

At the same time, from under his torn skin and bloody flesh, rice grain-sized white spheres began to emerge.

These white spheres were the Worms, which continuously rooted themselves on the Sky-Man’s body, sucking and drawing.

The light in the Sky-Man’s eyes dulled in an instant, and his fate was the same as the ancestor of the Great Abyss dynasty.

He was already dead.

But not completely dead yet.

The tragic state of this Sky-Man made the surrounding Sky-Men targeted by the Worms turn pale.

Especially Emperor Zhou, who had released the Worms and, with his own actions, plunged himself into such jeopardy.

Emperor Zhou’s expression was extremely grim.

He couldn’t understand, he couldn’t comprehend.

Why were there such bizarre creatures like the Worms in Cheng Guang’s storage ring?

The Sky-Men’s attacks didn’t harm the Worms at all.

He could still temporarily escape from the Worms’ attacks, but if this dragged on and his energy was depleted, his fate wouldn’t be much better than the Sky-Man who was just parasitized by the Worms!

"What shall we do now!!"

Emperor Zhou’s majestic and stern face darkened, his eyes scanning the surroundings, noting that most Sky-Men beside him were in no better condition.
