The Sand Demon Worm suddenly broke free from Xu Yuan's Dharma Image's restraints, letting out a sharp screech. Dark green energy surged behind it, quickly condensing into a brand new carapace, except this carapace was dark green.

As the sand worm devours more and more dark green energy, the color of its carapace gradually deepens.

Xu Yuan was caught off guard when he first faced the 100,000-year-old Sand Demon Worm.

"Is it no longer limited to extracting and absorbing energy through its mouthparts?"

Xu Yuan quickly retreated, watching as the dark green carapace on the back of the 100,000-year-old Sand Demon Worm rapidly turned black.

He abolished the Qi and Blood Dharma Image.

"The sand demon worm, which has existed for 100,000 years, has evolved its ability to devour energy to such an extent!"

Xu Yuan's expression at this moment was extremely serious.

At the same time, after witnessing the effect of the Sand Demon Worm devouring his blood and qi, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"If this sand demon worm is targeting abyssal creatures, is there a chance it can completely devour the energy of the abyss?"

The Sand Demon Insect is a type of soul beast unique to the western desert. As this desert expands, it has gradually come into the view of human soul masters.

The expansion of the western deserts is a relatively recent phenomenon, occurring only in the last few thousand years.

"The Fiery Basin, which is not far ahead, is the last human settlement before entering the Blood God Legion. This western desert is also the location of the Abyss Passage."

Xu Yuan could only sigh at this moment.

The ancients never lied to me.

For highly poisonous substances, there is always an antidote within a hundred paces.

Xu Yuan wasn't sure if the Sand Demon Worm's ability could truly devour the energy of abyssal creatures perfectly, but he was certain that the Sand Demon Worm's ability mechanism was a perfect template for devouring the energy of abyssal creatures.

"Transformation, absorption".

The so-called devouring process was perfectly divided into two stages by the Sand Demon Worm.

Since the 100,000-year-old Sand Demon Worm is no longer limited to devouring energy with its mouthparts, Xu Yuan naturally will no longer allow his blood energy to form that outermost layer of Dharma image. Not only that, he also stopped maintaining his blood energy armor at this moment.

Battle armor and mecha armor tightly enveloped Xu Yuan, and an energy shield was faintly visible outside the two layers of armor.

"The sand demon worm's ability to devour is most vulnerable to the quality of energy."

The juice of the sand worm can convert matter into energy suitable for them to consume. Similarly, if they encounter an energy body, their juice can also convert that energy body into energy suitable for them to consume.

It seems that energy beings are more restrained by this ability, but in reality, they are only restrained under normal circumstances.

To resist the erosion of the Sand Demon Worm, simply raise the grade of energy to effectively resist its conversion ability.

It may not be able to completely offset it.

However, it wouldn't completely corrode all the energy defenses in an instant.

This is also a major flaw in the Sand Demon Worm's ability to devour.

However, even with this flaw, its mechanism is still meaningful.

The quality of abyssal energy goes without saying, but it is still energy nonetheless.

Even the slowest erosion is still erosion.

As long as erosion can be achieved, that is, converting the energy of the abyss into another form that is suitable for one's own absorption, then a slow speed is still acceptable.

"The shell's regeneration speed is really fast." Xu Yuan was secretly amazed as he looked at the shell that he had smashed and which quickly recovered.

This all relies on his vital energy.

"We can't keep fighting him."

Originally, Xu Yuan was planning to rely on brute force to deal with this guy after being intercepted halfway, and enjoy the visceral thrill of punches landing.

Now that this thing is so unreasonable, Xu Yuan doesn't need to waste time with it.

"Dream Space!"

As the dream space descended, Xu Yuan used his mental power to cover the Sand Demon Worm, quickly located its spiritual body, and pulled it into the dream space.

The enormous corpse of the sand demon worm crashed to the ground, and the surrounding smaller sand demon worms scattered and fled. Having lost their leader, they dared not attack Xu Yuan again.

Xu Yuan slowly stepped forward.

The energy of heaven and earth surged.

Crimson energy converged, forming a soul ring.

An aura with a strong devouring power erupted from the soul ring.

Xu Yuan searched through his storage soul tool for a long time and finally found a multi-functional soul tool with the function of storing soul rings.

Activating the soul tool, the blood-red soul ring was drawn by a force, rapidly shrinking and merging into the disc in Xu Yuan's hand, forming a blood-red soul ring pattern on the disc.

It's a 100,000-year soul ring after all, we can't waste it.

The Sand Demon Worm's ability is suitable for Xu Yuan, possessing a devouring mechanism. However, it's a pity that Xu Yuan needs the ability to devour the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear Martial Soul, which doesn't require an external soul ring.

Since Xu Yuan himself couldn't use it, the soul ring of this Sand Demon Worm could only be left to the other members of Shrek Academy's inner court.

There may not be many creatures with the attribute of devouring, but there are quite a few that are suitable for the attribute of devouring.

Yuan Enhui might be able to use the mechanism of this Sand Demon Worm to obtain the ability to transform the target into energy from the demon plane, creating the most suitable environment for her to fight and continuously providing her with the ability to sustain herself.

Wu Siduo also has the opportunity to transform the power of the Netherworld.

Of course, this possibility is very small, and it requires luck to obtain.

After all, this is a transformation and transformation of the mechanism, not simply an inheritance of the Sand Demon Worm's abilities.

These kinds of soul skills are the rarest and the most difficult to manipulate manually, requiring a gamble of luck.

Besides these two, there is also Xu Lizhi.

Xu Lizhi's steamed bun martial spirit is indeed very compatible with the mechanism of the Sand Demon Worm.

Turning the enemy's energy into minced meat and incorporating it into buns to replenish one's own energy makes a lot of sense.

Actually, besides these three, there is one more person among the Shrek Seven Devils who is suitable.

Xu Yuan was unaware of Fang Yuan's martial soul mechanism, so he didn't expect it at this moment.

Fang Yuan's current talent ability of the God-Suppressing Stele is very suitable for the mechanism of the Sand Demon Worm. Even if he cannot obtain a direct soul skill, the addition of the Sand Demon Worm's soul ring can passively enhance his martial soul talent ability.

Xu Yuan carefully put away the spirit ring and didn't waste the corpse of the 100,000-year-old Sand Demon Worm.

He carefully collected the corpse of the sand demon worm.

To prevent the internal fluids from reacting with the corpse after it lost its vitality, Xu Yuan extracted the internal fluids and stored them separately.

"The Fiery Basin is not far ahead."

Xu Yuan looked up and gazed ahead.

Several black dots flickered on the distant horizon.

Soul Masters near the Blazing Basin have already sensed the energy fluctuations here and are currently heading over.

Xu Yuan had no intention of dealing with these Soul Masters. His armor transformed into a mecha, and he piloted it around to reach the Fiery Basin.

He was eager to find the Blood God Legion, then make contact with the abyssal creatures and drip the juice of the Sand Demon Worms onto them.

Then he will be able to determine whether the Sand Demon Worm's juices are useful for Abyss Energy.

Anything useful

"The root cause of the expansion of the western desert may also be solved in the process."

These sand demon worms are virtually impossible to eradicate, and they reproduce at an extremely rapid rate. If one is not careful, one might even supply these sand demon worms with energy. Therefore, the Federation has never organized a truly large-scale cleanup operation against the sand demon worms in the western desert.

The price/performance ratio is too low.

But what if the juice of the Sand Demon Worm could be used to counteract the problem of the abyss energy backflow?

"Overthinking is pointless; we must see the actual results."

Although he was eager to test the effects of the Sand Demon Worm Juice, Xu Yuan patiently rested in the Fiery Basin for a day.

Unfortunately, he was also quite tired from the flight.

Especially in the battle just now, the losses were considerable; those sand demon worms truly and rapidly devoured a large amount of Xu Yuan's vital energy.

Moreover, Xu Yuan himself was confident in his ability to absorb the energy of the abyss. Even if the juice of the sand demon worm was useful, it would not have much practical effect on Xu Yuan himself. Its significance was more for the Blood God Legion, which was responsible for fighting against the abyss.

Starting from the Fiery Basin, Xu Yuan piloted his mecha toward the Endless Mountains not far away.

After flying for half a day, the sight of the endless mountains also shocked Xu Yuan.

It was a vast expanse of rolling, snow-white mountain peaks.

Even though the Fiery Basin, one of the hottest areas on the entire Douluo Star, is not far away, the Tianshan Mountains are like a harsh winter. The mountains are covered with snow from the middle up, and the peaks even look like they were carved from ice.

Upon reaching the outer edge of the Endless Mountains, Xu Yuan piloted his mecha to land on the ground.
