Chapter 594: Chapter 581: Earthshaking Blood Sacrifice
It’s no wonder Chen Feng was so out of composure, for he saw some scenes behind the rift!
Chen Feng’s eyes possessed the ability of an Illusion Technique, and although the rift was shrouded in mesmerizing light, it couldn’t deter his probing. Moreover, having received blessings from several Evil Gods and been baptized by the blood of a Giant Dragon, his body had already transformed!
However, it was precisely because of what he saw behind the rift that Chen Feng displayed such a look of astonishment.
Countless insects swarmed the sky, blocking the sun, innumerable in number. If the star on which humanity resided was the domain of humans, then the world beyond the rift was one where insects were the spirits of all things!
Insects clustered on trees, land, the oceans, and swamps, killing every creature they encountered. When food was scarce, they even turned on their companions.
The insects there weren’t like those in the Human World, living in dark crevices. In that world, insects even had their own cities, but their cities were built in the dim underground world, with millions of cubic meters of subterranean space, boasting their own civilization and urban landscapes!
This wasn’t just a swarm of insects anymore. It was a kingdom, a civilization, one belonging to... the world of insects!
The Insect Realm!
Chen Feng had only heard a little about this world. In his past life, the camp occasionally offered refuge to passing travelers. They came from different places, fleeing primarily because their previous homes were destroyed, causing them to leave their homeland and scatter around.
The term Insect Realm was news brought by one such traveler. Countless insects had attacked his hometown, submerging a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands in an insect tide, with ninety percent of humans becoming food. Only a few lucky ones escaped the disaster by boat.
As he spoke of this news, the person showed fear, his body trembling involuntarily. Based on his recollection, when the Insect Realm first descended, it caused some losses, but not enough to make an entire city fall. Yet, over time, more and more insects poured through the rift, landing on human lands.
If the first wave was ten thousand, the second was twenty thousand, and so on. After humans held out for several years, the rift suddenly started to expand, and millions of insects descended upon human paradise. Instantly, humans became the disadvantaged, turning into insect prey!
Wait!
A flash of insight suddenly glittered in Chen Feng’s eyes.
He speculatively surveyed the surroundings. According to that person’s recollection, the destroyed city was very likely the Chasm beneath his feet!
It started with some pioneers, but as energy became increasingly unstable, the Dimension Wall would thin, and by then, some tremendously powerful individuals could crash through, leaving no barrier between the two worlds, clear for the insects!
And this was also the real reason why Chen Feng urgently wanted to become stronger. The current world was far from as safe as it appeared.
Native mutant creatures were very potent, but they always had a limit. Like infants, no matter how much they could eat, they still needed a gradual process to grow plump.
In contrast, the creatures from other dimensions were like adults. While the planet’s creatures might not have high Talent, they had existed for hundreds or thousands of years, their bodies already mutated.
With the corrosion of surrounding energies, one Dimension Wall after another would rupture. By then, not only native forces but potentially the Abyss and Purgatory could connect with the world, innumerable Demons and Devils descending upon the Human World, a devastating blow to humanity!
Ignoring the Abyss for a moment, the Insect Realm alone, as the rift fully erupts a few years from now, could obliterate millions of humans in an insect tide, with no hope of counterattack, showing what acute problems humanity faced!
Earlier life was too easy. Although Bridge East also experienced some insect tides and undead seas, they were just mutant creatures of native forces. Nothing like the Chasm, directly connected to an Insect Realm.
However, Chen Feng’s surprise only flashed briefly. Although he knew this rift would break one day, it was still years away. Presently, due to the power of Order, this rift would sooner or later close, like a human wound. Though cut by a small knife, the skin possesses the ability to heal, and it won’t take long to stop the bleeding!
Moreover, even if it doesn’t close, it doesn’t matter!
A glint appeared in Chen Feng’s eyes as he looked at the multitude of insects, his expression turning increasingly grim. In the eyes of others, these insects symbolized fear and death, but to Chen Feng, they were potential opportunities!
As a Summoner, what does Chen Feng rely on the most?
Blood Sacrifice!
However, sacrificing humans indeed harms natural laws; Chen Feng still needs Believers to gather Power of Faith. If hundreds of thousands were all sacrificed, not only would faith be lacking, but even himself would turn into a complete beast!
No!
Even beasts have emotions. If Chen Feng truly could harden his heart to kill a million in Blood Sacrifice, he’d become an Evil God, comparable to the most malevolent existence of the Abyss, devoid of conscience or emotion; he’d become like a robot, cold to the extreme!
Chen Feng yearned for power, not for becoming a cold-blooded, numb monster. Even if sacrificing a million granted him Legendary or even higher-tier power, what’s the point without thought? What’s the difference from a dead person!
But these insects were different!
They fed on humans and harbored savage natures; sacrificing them bore no burden. By now, Chen Feng had entered the Golden Tier, needing a hundred times more energy to break into the Legendary. Even the Bridge East offensive, sacrificing the Annihilation Ant Emperor that time, was a mere drop in the ocean, unable to support his body’s metamorphosis!
But now, there’s an entire realm as support. Just destroy all these insects and draw out an altar, naturally connecting to powerhouses in the Abyss to gain supreme power!
If once isn’t enough, then Blood Sacrifice twice; if twice isn’t enough, then thrice. Presently, the rift hasn’t shattered yet, and due to the rules, overly powerful creatures can’t possibly appear. This precisely gives Chen Feng an excellent opportunity!
By then, once he reaches Legendary, even if the rift breaks one day, Chen Feng will be confident in resolving this disaster invisibly.
Because once stepping into Legendary, Chen Feng’s summoning ability will reach a pinnacle, capable of even creating rifts, letting Abyssal beings manifest in the real world.
After long preparations, Chen Feng already possessed a strength in the Abyss tenfold stronger than that Order. Elwin’s priesthood, Flora’s Demon Lord status, the Undead Mage’s dominion over the Bone Plain, and then, with the Dark Elf, Demons, and the Undead aligning, even if the Insect Realm invaded, it would likely be a one-way trip!
Crazy!
As an insect tide invades, intending to use Demons to counter their advances—this is the conception of a madman!
If it were an ordinary person, there’d be no chance of success, but for Chen Feng, it seems entirely achievable because both Flora and the Undead Mage are sovereign rulers, possessing absolute command over their subordinates. As long as they don’t perish, they can naturally order an attack on the insects!
Chen Feng, upon reaching the Golden Tier, unlocked nearly 20% of his body’s potential. At this time, his mind, akin to a running computer, processed countless thoughts and pros and cons entering his consciousness.
He had made a decision, to rely on the Insect Realm to impact the supreme Legendary Tier. Once he steps into that tier, not only will he perform mass summoning, but he can also break through the dimensions, entering the Abyss directly!
In any case, it can only be beneficial to himself, without any downside.
Chen Feng’s face twisted, finding that these insects seemed less grotesque because they were practically shortcuts to his strength!
"In that case..."
Chen Feng muttered softly. A few seconds later, he pressed his hands firmly on the ground: "Since you all want so much to come to this city, then stay here forever, heed my command, my faithful servants, come forth all of you!"
"Boom!"
A series of loud explosions, and instantly, the insects’ movements paused. They felt several terrifying auras press upon them like a mountain!
As Chen Feng ascended to Gold, the Summoned Beasts to whom he was bound by contract all descended onto this land, and suddenly, a fierce gale arose—the catastrophe for the insects had arrived!
