There exists an ancient legend in this world about a type of special insects, insects that are the nemesis of all things living. No matter how strong or how high one’s cultivation is, they would be no match for these insects. Moreover, these insects could not be killed in any way and would continue devouring the bodies of the living to grow and multiply.

These insects were known as the Demon Insects by the inhabitants of this world!

Demon Insects initially appeared without warning, so no one really knew where they came from, nor did anyone pay attention to them at first because they were still small and weak back then.

But as time passed, and they continued to devour and grow, the horror of these Demon Insects gradually became known.

Wherever they went, all life disappeared; where they nested, no one dared come within a hundred thousand kilometres.

In ancient times, where the legends about these insects originated, the number of masters in this world far exceeded today. There were even many Third-Order Emperors!

When the Demon Insects grew to become a calamity, the masters of the world could no longer sit idly by, and thus they joined forces and prepared to do their utmost to destroy the Demon Insects that plagued this world.

Nobody knows what happened in that battle.

But after that, all the masters of the world disappeared, and so did the Demon Insects that were so feared and talked about.

Some speculated that the Masters died alongside the Demon Insects, otherwise, how could the final result be explained? There were also speculations that the Masters had secluded themselves from the world after defeating the Demon Insects, living apart from the trappings of society. Some even speculated that the Demon Insects devoured the masters and were now slumbering in some unknown place, evolving into a more terrifying form and would one day return to end the world!

But these were only rumours. No one ever believed them and no person had ever seen what these so-called Demon Insects, let alone knew what they actually looked like.

Barely anyone believed that these Demon Insects really existed.

But right now, right here, Ban Qing understood that the rumours were not fabricated. There really did exist bone-chilling Demon Insects in this world, and these tiny insects were just as the rumours said, feeding on the energy of living beings, unable to be killed or destroyed. One could only sit back and watch them grow, and then lay waste to the entire world.

When he thought about these ancient rumours, Ban Qing completely lost all will to fight Yang Kai.
