Chapter 282 Demon Mother Nest, Parasitic Five Lines
In the endless, distant realm of the demons.
In ancient times, the twelve divine beasts and the eleven plague gods fought endlessly, shattering the demon realm.
Pieces of land, like shattered mirrors, are scattered across the boundless void.
The eleven plague gods, who were already at odds, were unwilling to mend and reconcile these continents. Instead, they each divided and ruled their own territory, making the demon realm even more chaotic.
Even now, it remains the same.
On a fragmented continent belonging to a parasitic race.
Deep underground, a dark nest, piled up like a honeycomb, exudes an eerie aura.
This nest is the sacred ground of the parasitic race, the cradle where they breed their offspring. Various demons constantly bring "food" to feed this enormous mother nest.
Occasionally, black, wet eggs are laid from the nest, and depending on their quality, they are adopted to various "ranches" for incubation.
The quality of these eggs will determine the strength of their first host, and will also largely determine their future.
The parasites are extremely weak, and they will not leave the "egg shell" given to them by the mother nest until they find a suitable host.
In this dark underground space, beams of light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, would occasionally appear. These were the parasitic people performing sacrificial rites to please the parasitic plague god and pray for more protection and blessings.
The Parasitic Plague God slumbers beneath the Mother Nest and, like other plague gods, rarely responds personally to the sacrifices of his believers.
Its enormous body occupied almost a third of the underground space of this continent, and every time it turned over, it caused a cataclysmic change.
The black mother nest on which the parasitic race depends for reproduction is nothing more than a pile of the seaweed-like hair of the parasitic plague god.
The mother nest provides nourishment and shelter for the parasites, where they are conceived and grow.
In a sense, all the parasitic people can be considered tiny incarnations of the parasitic plague god, and there is an extremely secret connection between them and the parasitic plague god.
Therefore, internal strife rarely occurs within the parasite group; they function as a unified whole, facing external threats together.
The surface of this continent is desolate and barren, with hardly any decent towns or settlements to be seen.
Since parasites possess other races from a young age and develop elsewhere, there is no need for them to build more here.
On this day, another sacrificial light shone.
But it was very dim, surrounded by an almost imperceptible blood-red hue.
The parasitic plague god slumbered in his dreams for a long time, and his several chief priests, with a trace of the plague god's power, took turns responding to these sacrificial requests.
Perhaps feeling that the light was too dim and that this clansman was in a terrible state, the high priest, who had nothing better to do, responded.
The connection was established, and he received a message.
"Oh? A new Nether has been discovered. Requesting assistance."
……
Wei Sheng watched the changes on the white jade altar with bated breath.
He knew very well that he was just an ordinary parasite and had no right to receive a reply from the God of Plague.
Therefore, most of what he said just now was to intimidate Chu Lengyu, making her hesitant to act rashly.
Since the high priest has already responded to his sacrifice, he has already succeeded halfway. As soon as the news spreads, his friends will surely arrive as soon as possible according to the spatial coordinates.
The Parasite Clan is recognized as the most difficult demon race to kill, second only to the Dream Clan, and he is confident that he can hold out until that day.
Beside it, the oppressive aura of the white jade altar gradually weakened, and the demonic sounds also gradually disappeared.
Wei Sheng, who was parasitizing the black snake, did not show the slightest disappointment.
Just as Chu Lengyu had the idea of capturing it alive, the black snake opened its mouth and spat out poisonous smoke, triggering the Star Destroyer God's automatic counterattack. It was killed on the spot, leaving only a charred snake body lying quietly on the ground.
Before exhaling the poisonous smoke, Wei Sheng had already spared no effort to consume his own source power and unleash the Parasite Clan's innate divine power—Parasitic Five Elements.
His remaining nascent soul became ethereal and merged into the world, making it difficult to find any trace of him.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth permeate the heavens and earth. From this moment on, sand and soil are him, flowing water is him, and flowers and grass are also him.
Aside from scenarios involving spatial turbulence, he had never failed to use this talent for escape, and he was confident that this time would be no exception.
Chu Lengyu stared at the empty space, feeling astonished for the first time.
She tried her best to sense the surrounding atmosphere, but to no avail.
Wei Sheng disappeared so completely that not a trace of him could be found, as if he had never existed in this world.
The Star Destroyer Array always shrouded this area. Chu Lengyu knew that Wei Sheng probably hadn't escaped yet, but had simply hidden himself using some unknown means.
She tried every method to find Wei Sheng's whereabouts, but still failed.
After pondering for a moment with furrowed brows, Chu Lengyu reached out and summoned a magnificent celestial ship that appeared in the sky.
The wooden decorations on the bow slowly receded, revealing a dark cannon barrel. Chu Lengyu decided to use the most powerful weapon on this immortal ship to completely destroy this area and force Wei Sheng out.
In the blink of an eye, 100,000 spirit stones were burned to ashes, and the spirit patterns on the cannon barrel lit up one after another, activating in turn.
"boom--!"
With a deafening roar, a massive beam of spiritual energy shot out from the cannon barrel, instantly leveling the area to the ground.
The beam of light was like divine punishment, extremely powerful, annihilating everything it touched.
The impact of the artillery fire even caused the Yao Guang Immortal Ship to retreat slightly.
Of course, this is also because the fairy boat is now completely empty, and she is the only one controlling it.
If all kinds of cultivators are properly equipped, even if all the spiritual cannons on the ship fire at the same time, the immortal ship will not retreat even a step.

One additional note:
The concept of the "God of Plague" is my original creation, derived from the "Eleven Ghost Plagues," and carries a hint of the characteristics of a conceptual god.
There might be a tiny bit of a counter-type, but really not much.
The inspiration for "Plague God's Nest" and "Parasitic Five Elements" suddenly came to me while I was writing this late at night.
Originally, this character was just a nameless cannon fodder, but there's still so much to explore about the parasitic setting that I can't resist writing about it.
If he had a real name, it would be Ji Chao.
"Wei Sheng" means to disguise a living being.
