My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Yuan Wuxie was momentarily stupefied.

Then he let out a scream so horrific it seemed inhuman.

At the same time!

His body began to struggle violently!

Although he was on flat ground, Yuan Wuxie’s limbs flailed as if he were struggling underwater, his movements unbearably slow as if he were bound by weeds!

Empress Wei heard Yuan Wuxie’s scream and cast her gaze upon him.

Your next chapter is on empire

She merely glanced at Yuan Wuxie.

In her perception, she could clearly see Yuan Wuxie’s body swarming with dense clusters of worms.

These worms clung to Yuan Wuxie like snakes made of souls, tightly entwining him.

Yuan Wuxie’s struggles quickly weakened as his breathing was drowned out by the hissing sounds of the worms.

The skin of Yuan Wuxie, the Sky-Man, was as fragile as paper before these worms, easily torn open to reveal the bloody flesh beneath.

Immediately following,

Countless worms began to burrow into Yuan Wuxie’s body, their movements twisted and utterly horrifying!

Empress Wei took one look and felt her entire being was not right.

The thought that she, too, could end up surrounded by these worms with a fate similar to Yuan Wuxie’s, made her skin crawl.

Empress Wei withdrew her gaze.

Outside the shrine, Cheng Guang also noticed the change in Yuan Wuxie.

Cheng Guang watched Yuan Wuxie intently.

Ever since that eerie Chicken Demon died and the white worm eggs inside it cracked, the atmosphere both inside and outside the shrine had become oppressive and terrifying.

Cheng Guang, although he could not see, could guess from the hissing of the worms and the disturbances in the air as if manipulated by an invisible hand.

These beings were probably the Mysterious Bugs mentioned in the system’s mission prompt.

Cheng Guang knew he had coated himself with Tri-color Grass, so these Mysterious Bugs wouldn’t be able to approach him.

So now he intended to observe Yuan Wuxie, to deduce the tactics of the Mysterious Bugs from his reactions.

Cheng Guang studied Yuan Wuxie and saw him contorting in agony, layer after layer of skin and flesh disappearing into thin air.

First the skin, then the fascia, followed by flesh and bone!

Within moments, Yuan Wuxie was transformed into a misshapen giant, his skin gone, with countless beings threading through the flesh beneath.

In just a short while, the shrine became even more oppressive and terrifying due to Yuan Wuxie’s transformation, leaving only the hissing of the worms echoing within and outside, aside from the breathing of the onlookers and the sound of Empress Wei’s Qi oscillating.

Yuan Wuxie’s struggling sounds grew weaker and weaker until they completely vanished.

In this suffocating scene, Yuan Wuxie’s body finally stopped struggling.

But his body had not been entirely devoured as imagined, flesh and membrane intact.

The Mysterious Bugs, it seemed, had left Yuan Wuxie with a breath, but not much.

Cheng Guang looked closely and could clearly see that among the bloody flesh of Yuan Wuxie, there suddenly appeared several white granules.

Those white granules clung to Yuan Wuxie’s flesh, throbbed as if they were drawing nutrients, or perhaps providing some to him.

At this moment, Yuan Wuxie was less alive than a host to parasites.

Cheng Guang’s eyes narrowed as he witnessed this.

Now parasitized by these Mysterious Bugs, Yuan Wuxie was not immediately dead. However, given his physical condition, he was breathing less in and more out, likely not to live much longer.

The entity that claimed to be the Demonic Moon Emperor, the Chicken Demon, must have also been parasitized by a multitude of Mysterious Bugs, but strangely, it did not die.

It had not only survived.

It was still strong.

Even stronger than a typical Sky-Man.

Cheng Guang could hardly imagine how powerful the Demonic Moon Emperor must have been in its heyday.

Yuan Wuxie was beyond saving.

Cheng Guang decided not to keep his attention on him and glanced at Empress Wei within the shrine, before his gaze landed on the various items on the offering table inside.

He moved slightly and stepped forward, heading straight into the shrine.

The shrine had become a forbidden place in the eyes of the many mighty ones around.

Seeing that both the Sky-Man Yuan Wuxie and the formidable Empress Wei were in such dire straits, how could they dare to enter?

They did not dare to go in, and had they found a way out of the Secret Realm, they would have already fled.

The many frightened strong ones, in their nervousness, suddenly saw Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, stepping out and slowly walking towards the shrine.

All at once,

Everyone’s mouths dropped open in shock.

"What on earth is the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir trying to do?"

"Is he truly fearless? Think about it, he was the first to enter the Secret Realm." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The Town-Nation Duke’s Heir seems to have some skills, haven’t you seen that he is still alive and well?"

"He is alive and well now because after entering the Secret Realm, he basically didn’t move, unlike us who rushed into Daoist Mountain and suffered heavy casualties to the Monkey Devil almost instantly."

Strong ones around the shrine gazed at Cheng Guang, discussing amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zhihai and Qin Beifeng behind Cheng Guang had not caught on to his actions yet.

Just as Cheng Zhihai was about to step forward and stop Cheng Guang, Qin Beifeng said, "Let’s see what the Princely Heir intends to do."
