[The four-chapter explosion is the daily foundation, and if there's a reward from the Alliance Hierarch, there will be additional updates, no cap. Brothers and sisters, let's go crazy!]

"Don't go over there, it's too dangerous!" Wudao Saint Child looked at Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the veiled woman and said.

"What's dangerous? I haven't sensed anything!" The old man with the pipe, upon seeing the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, urgently said.

Wudao Saint Child glanced at the three, then seriously said, "The Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass in the Martial Arts World is unimaginably precious. Could it really be obtained so easily? Besides, no matter how powerful the Taishi family is, they couldn't possibly have so much Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass. You all need to remain calm!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the veiled woman were slightly calmed. They no longer felt the intense temptation to rush over and pick the Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine, and instead, they quietly watched as the Tripod Sect Elder and the Xinyang family's middle-aged man rushed onto the Divine Soil and started picking the Spiritual Grass and Divine Medicine wildly.

Yet, as the Tripod Sect Elder and the Xinyang family's middle-aged man rushed over and manically picked the Spiritual Grass and Divine Medicine, nothing dangerous seemed to occur. The two of them immediately used their Secret Techniques to collect all the Spiritual Grass and Divine Medicine they had picked, revealing expressions of uncontrollable excitement on their faces.

To any Martial Artist, the Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine holds an absolute allure. Regardless of one's cultivation level, even upon nearing the end, there is a desire for these herbs. Not only do they greatly enhance a Martial Artist's cultivation, but they also help overcome certain challenges and barriers in cultivation. If used well, they can even increase longevity. Any Martial Artist would desire increased cultivation, greater combat strength, and a longer life, wouldn't they? Hence, the Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine has always been a cause of contention and even fierce battles among various Martial Arts Experts. A single herb could result in annihilating families, exterminating entire clans, and eradicating entire cultivation inheritances. Disputes among Martial Artists are merely child's play in comparison.

"Boy, you've really put us in a bind, there's no danger at all in that Divine Soil, and the Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine is about to be picked clean by those two!" The old man with the pipe anxiously charged forward and said.

"Senior, don't go, it's too dangerous!" Wudao Saint Child stopped the old man with the pipe and said.

"Get out of the way, you must be in cahoots with those two, pretending to trick us! Besides, I haven't sensed any danger..." The old man with the pipe said angrily to Wudao Saint Child.

"Senior, everyone's Divine Thought detection here is suppressed. Only our Wudao Sacred Land's Secret Technique can perceive clearly. There's something terrifying hidden in that Divine Soil; you must not go near it, or rescue will be nearly impossible!" Wudao Saint Child said anxiously.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The old man with the pipe could no longer hold back, unable to watch the Tripod Sect Elder and the Xinyang family's man pick all the Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine from the Divine Soil. In the Martial Arts World, the Spiritual Grass and Divine Medicine are extremely precious and rare, and no one has ever seen such a large patch. Anyone witnessing this would likely go crazy!

It wasn't just the old man with the pipe; Ye Tianchen and the veiled woman also couldn't resist stepping forward, wanting to fly toward the Divine Soil. Wudao Saint Child blocked them, anxiously saying, "Please, listen to me, you mustn't go!"

"Move aside, we can't just stand by and watch so many Divine Herbs and Spiritual Medicines being picked by others!" the veiled woman said anxiously.

At this moment, the old man with the pipe had already flown toward the Divine Soil, his speed reaching its peak. He couldn't bear to watch the Tripod Sect Elder and the Xinyang family's man pick all the Spiritual Grass and Divine Medicine from the Divine Soil, so he flew over. However, just as he was about to reach the front, and Ye Tianchen and the veiled woman were about to ignore Wudao Saint Child's advice and rush over, a cry of agony startled everyone.

"Ah... my hand..."

"Oh my god, my left eye..."

The two cries of agony startled the old man with the pipe and others. Ye Tianchen and the veiled woman stopped and couldn't help but look at the Divine Soil. Wudao Saint Child shook his head and said, "Sure enough, some will be severely injured, losing their cultivation, or worse, they might be obliterated entirely!"

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Suddenly, atop the previously tranquil and serene Divine Soil, small insects started emerging from the earth. These insects, only as big as a fingernail, exuded an unusual power. As they flapped their wings and soared, the energy they emitted made Ye Tianchen and the others' heads tingle, and it seemed even their Divine Thoughts were trembling. Everyone was taken aback. The old man with the pipe reacted quickly and instinctively did not dare rush toward the Divine Soil, instead swiftly returning to Ye Tianchen and the others, because one's life is more important than anything else. Without life, what use is anything else?

These insects took flight in increasing numbers, all flapping their wings. Their speed reached an extreme, akin to falling stars, as they shot toward the Tripod Sect Elder and the Xinyang family man. At this moment, one of these insects burrowed into the Tripod Sect Elder's right hand and the Xinyang man's left eye. These insects, like flesh-eaters, would burrow into one's flesh and consume it once landed on the skin. As the insects flapped their wings, everyone's Divine Thought was disturbed, making it unbearable.

Swipe!

Swipe!

It must be said that both the Tripod Sect Elder and the Xinyang family's middle-aged man had significant cultivation and reacted quickly, appearing in front of Ye Tianchen and his group in an instant. However, their expressions were extremely pained, nearly twisted—one could only imagine the agony. The Tripod Sect Elder's right hand was gradually vanishing as if being eaten away, and the Xinyang man's left eye was dripping blood, putting them in immense pain.

"Honored elders, quickly sever the parts infected by the insects! Otherwise, your body and soul will be destroyed!" the Wudao Saint Child shouted.

Upon hearing the Wudao Saint Child's words, the two greedy men, already tortured half to death, did not hesitate. The Tripod Sect Elder gathered Martial Arts True Qi in his left hand, forming a knife-like shape, and cut off his own right hand with a single stroke. The Xinyang family's middle-aged man used his hand to gouge out his left eye and threw it to the ground.

In almost an instant, the severed right arm of the Tripod Sect Elder and the gouged-out left eye of the Xinyang family's middle-aged man were devoured completely clean.

Spurt!

Spurt!

At the same time, both individuals seemed to suffer severe injuries to their minds, involuntarily spitting out a mouthful of blood. Their faces were extremely pale, indicating it's far from a simple superficial injury. Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the veiled woman were all shocked, but the Wudao Saint Child shook his head, expressing some regret.

"Why is this? You are both Mid-stage Martial Saints. Although the bodies are still important for martial artists at any time, they shouldn't be fatal wounds anymore. You just lost an arm and an eye, how can you be so severely injured?" the old man with the pipe couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. It seems like my divine sense was devoured!" the Tripod Sect Elder gritted his teeth and said.

"It feels like my Divine Thought was almost devoured!" the Xinyang family's middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Could it be these insects are not ordinary insects?" the old man with the pipe asked in astonishment.

The Wudao Saint Child frowned, looking at the Divine Soil not far away, and said, "These are indeed not ordinary insects, but the legendary Devouring God Worms. These worms not only consume flesh but can devour a person's Divine Thought within a quarter hour. They cultivate using this devouring power. Although not extremely powerful individually, their numbers are vast, and without absolute defense, one can't withstand them. Once, Devouring God Worms brought an immense disaster to the entire Martial Arts World until a Great Divine Ability User found their nest and destroyed them. It's astonishing that the long-extinct Devouring God Worms still exist here—the Taishi family's foundation is truly astonishing!"

"Devouring God Worms? Are these the demon worms that once swept across the entire Martial Arts World, taking countless martial experts' lives?" the old man with the pipe couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed, these are the worms. Anyone bitten by them has their flesh and Divine Thought devoured, hence the name Devouring God Worms. It seems the Taishi family anticipated someone might greedily harvest their Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine. They've buried some Devouring God Worms under this Divine Soil. These worms likely feed on Divine Soil to thrive and survive. When someone unknowingly harvests the Spirit Grass and Divine Medicine here, uprooting it disrupts the soil, triggering an immediate attack by the worms buried underneath, catching people unawares. The two of you are quite fortunate that only two worms reacted; there should be more than just a couple." The Wudao Saint Child looked at everyone and said.

"Hmph, mere Devouring God Worms can't take my life. I've collected enough Spirit Grass Divine Medicine!" the Tripod Sect Elder said fiercely.

"What's losing an eye? With these Spirit Grass Divine Medicines, I can forge a new body!" the Xinyang family's middle-aged man said, still oblivious to the gravity of the situation.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think..." The Wudao Saint Child suddenly furrowed his brows, looking toward the nearby Divine Soil and said. (To be continued.
