Chapter 1660: Chapter 658: The Final Song of the Ancestor Worm, Insect Emperor Opens the Gate (Part 3)

Qin Ming was extremely cold, and said, "What I want, I will pick with my own hands."

How could he possibly believe this old monster who came killing from the other shore?

Hong Dao was utterly vicious, wanting to sacrifice the living on this shore to pave his path, and was long seen by Qin Ming as a different kind.

"Ah..." Hong Dao howled to the sky, his soul light flashing intensely. At this moment, he exerted all his effort but still couldn’t switch bodies or change fates to take the place of others.

In an instant, the green mist surged to the sky, the green lotus in his soul light swayed, with snow-white lotus roots interweaving Tao patterns below, and terrifying roots rapidly spreading out.

He used the third set of killing moves, trying to root into the opponent’s body.

Qin Ming resisted with all his might and launched a strong counterattack.

Outside his body, a black vortex spun violently, swallowing all those roots, like a black hole madly rotating.

At the same time, countless golden threads erupted from Qin Ming’s body, piercing through the green lotus in his opponent’s soul light.

The Turbid World Green Lotus could not break through the black vortex, its roots continuously shredded, the lotus roots breaking apart, and the buds on the green lotus withering rapidly.

"No!" Hong Dao snarled, knowing that his Miao Technique was unusable, and the combined killing move ended here, leaving him powerless to execute it.

He had temporarily dragged himself out from the brink of death using the Return Light Technique, and stabilized his injuries with the Star Sea Silver Lotus, which allowed him to fight.

But now, the balance was broken.

His Return Light Technique prematurely failed, his state rapidly plummeting.

"I am unwilling." He howled sorrowfully to the sky, questioning how he could possibly die and end up like this without having spent too much on this road?

"You’re dissatisfied with your situation? Have you ever thought about the Ancestor Worm of the past?" Qin Ming exploded, piercing the Turbid World Green Lotus with golden threads and shredding its soul light with the black vortex.

In an instant, Hong Dao’s spirit collapsed, and his soul fire was about to extinguish.

"You... really can’t go on?" Qin Ming was taken aback, hurriedly withdrawing all his techniques for fear that Hong Dao might die on the spot.

"Old Hong, hold on!" At this moment, Qin Ming surprisingly became anxious.

He had not yet reaped the benefits, and his opponent was about to die.

He initially thought Hong Dao was pretending to be unable, but it didn’t seem to be the case; the other party was genuinely about to perish.

"Mr. Hong, hang in there, I’ll save you." Qin Ming began treatment, even resorting to using Miao Techniques and took out treasure medicine to nourish the divine soul, trying to keep him alive.

Hong Dao was baffled, his mind swirling with questions: Who am I? Where am I? Why is he saving me?

In his dying moments, he was filled with confusion.

Qin Ming shouted, "Old Hong, you can’t die."

Then he urgently encouraged, "We are our own people, your survival will must be firm, then I can save you!"

Hong Dao was bewildered; was this an illusion realm, or a dream?

Then, a treasure medicine slightly stabilized his nearly extinguished soul light.

However, his soul light was like a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

Qin Ming shouted, "Still not using Miao Techniques? You need to save yourself!"

He was casting spells, but the target himself had to make efforts as well.

Hong Dao really didn’t want to die. After slightly stabilizing, he immediately operated the Turbid World Green Lotus Miao Technique, which in various healing scriptures was undoubtedly part of the forbidden Chapter.

A green lotus in his soul fire rustled and spread its leaves, though dim, it diligently exuded vitality, hoping to change Hong Dao’s fate and save him.

During this process, Qin Ming resonated with all his might, his focus never before so intense.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?

Qin Ming’s eyes grew increasingly fervent; he had already successfully stolen the technique.

At this moment, Hong Dao was in the worst possible state, it was impossible for him to remain neutral and steadfast, his emotions fluctuating greatly, like a revolving lantern, reviewing parts of his past.

Of course, most was a kind of obsession; he wanted to live, frantically operating the "Turbid World Green Lotus" scripture meaning.

Precisely because of this, Qin Ming was able to succeed.

However, everything has its lifespan; Hong Dao indeed reached the point of exhaustion, the Return Light Technique failed, causing extremely serious consequences, directly bringing him to the brink of death.

He forcibly extended his life to no avail, merely prolonging it for a mere moment.

Hong Dao’s soul light scattered again, clearly on the brink of failure.

Qin Ming shouted, "Old Hong, you’re a waste, I’m saving you here with my own hands, why can’t you hold on? Hold on a bit longer!"

"Why... save me?" Hong Dao’s soul light scattered, and on the verge of death, he instinctively asked.

"Of course, to reap your scripture, recite two more Chapters!" Qin Ming administered a strong dose, hoping to stimulate him to linger a while longer.

"Damn it!" Indeed, it was quite effective, as at the last moment, Hong Dao’s soul light suddenly brightened, noticeably stronger than before.

However, this last flicker of light was fleeting and was about to completely fade away, perishing permanently.

"Are you... my Ancestor Master?" Suddenly, Hong Dao’s soul light brightened momentarily again.

Qin Ming immediately shouted, "Yes, I am your Ancestor Master. Good child, you have a strong fate, hold onto your will to survive, only through self-preservation can you invite external help and thus change your fate."

Suddenly, a speck of light seemed to transcend the limits of time and space, abruptly flew out from the core depths of Hong Dao’s soul light, and entered the body of the Little Worm.

Qin Ming felt deeply shocked, although the speck of light posed no destructive threat, the mysterious Immortal Seal engraved upon it caused him unease, and it moved too fast.

"Ancestor Master?" Hong Dao was filled with confusion at his last moment, as if he saw the long-deceased Ancestor Master.

The speck of light spoke, "Child, it is I, the old man, borrowing your Soul Sea to sleep, always waiting for a chance to live again."

Hong Dao was shocked, "Were you stealing my lifespan?"

"No, when I sat down, you were also old, was it worth my Yi Ming for you? I merely borrowed a bit of your essence, sleeping amidst your green lotus, waiting for an opportunity."

Hong Dao found it hard to believe, "Was the maturing lotus seed on the green lotus you? Back then when you passed on the Turbid World Green Lotus Skill to me, did you already lay this behind?"

"Child, I bear no ill will towards you, I couldn’t find the strongest level of the ’door’, I thought you might in the future, today the old man truly saw the opportunity."

Their so-called dialogue was nothing but a few flashes of soul light, everything happening in a flash, even in reality an eye-blink had not yet elapsed.

Hong Dao had mixed feelings, facing death, he actually saw an Ancestor Master pulling this demon trick, living beyond him.

The lotus seed spoke, "Child, sincerely sorry, the old man can’t save you. I have only one blow, which must go to open the door."

He needed an over-boundary "door", otherwise he couldn’t live. Only by borrowing a body and fully extracting the limitless potential of the Secret Treasure, could he regenerate.

Qin Ming truly felt horrified; he was already careful and cautious enough, yet he couldn’t foresee guarding against Hong Dao this old monster, but not from his Ancestor Master.

Fortunately, he was "steady" enough, only resonating with the Insect Emperor’s body, instead of his true body entering this terrible incident.

It must be said, Hong Dao’s Ancestor Master was quite something, being extremely familiar with the door, and found the location of the secret treasure in this body in the first moment.

The old fellow had already arrived before that "door", ready to launch a terrible strike to pry open this mysterious realm.

"Indeed, it’s a strongest-level door, only a location like this can nourish me, allowing me to revive and return." He was overjoyed, going to shake this door.

However, his expression suddenly froze.

He felt that before fully unleashing his power, the door was already loosening, as if voluntarily opening a gap.

In an instant, he was horrified; how did it feel like this was owned by someone, someone actively opening the door?
