Chapter 601: Chapter 587: Forbidden Lifeform
After a series of battles, the war was nearing its end. If the two Insect Kings had fought back desperately, they could have caused some trouble for Chen Feng. Surprisingly, the two Insect Kings had internal conflicts, and the powerful and terrifying Chaos Demon Spider didn’t even unleash a tenth of its power before it died on the ground.
The Chaos Demon Spider was a large branch in the Insect Realm, commanding millions of insects. Its greatest ability was spitting [Chaos Liquid], an acid that magically dissolved and fused all matter. Just like its final strike before death, it unleashed a fatal attack into the insect swarm, resulting in the melting of thousands of insects. At this point, as the melted corpses and blood slowly fused, they shrunk into a spherical mass about a meter in diameter!
Thousands of insects, weighing over dozens of tons, were inexplicably condensed into a gigantic spherical mass over a meter high, with its energy compressed to the extreme.
And this was the food of the Chaos Demon Spider. They used the special [Chaos Liquid] to fuse the insects and then hoarded all the energy together. After such a meal, it wouldn’t need any food for three months, greatly enhancing its survival capability.
Yet, this Insect King didn’t even resist further and died in front of humans, and the perpetrator was also an insect, making the purpose quite intriguing.
Everyone followed the gaze and saw a creature with a human body. It was about 2.3 meters tall, with a physique full of muscles, especially a chest like giant stones, brimming with explosive power. Its arms hung on both sides, with blood still dripping, and everyone remembered clearly that it was this creature that hammered the Insect King to death with its fists.
If you only looked at its body, it seemed merely a human with bronze-colored skin, but when its face was revealed, it made people frown involuntarily.
Ugly!
Disgusting!
Shocking!
Its appearance caused discomfort among the crowd. Its stiff, lifeless skin, enormous eyeballs, irregularly shaped head, and especially the two antennae on its forehead made it look just like a humanoid cockroach’s face!
At this moment, it curiously peered forward, its eyes filled with curiosity for new things, yet no one dared to underestimate it, for it had just ended the life of a Golden Insect King.
Chen Feng’s brow furrowed deeply. This was an insect with considerable intelligence. Indeed, even though it possessed a human body, its internal structure was entirely that of an insect.
It just happened to look somewhat human.
The Insect Realm was three times the size of the Human World, housing billions of insects. Although Chen Feng could see through the rift, it only scratched the surface; in an instant, he couldn’t see all the species.
While scanning the area, Chen Feng saw some other skeletons, including traces of beasts, birds, and even apes. However, that world was occupied by insects, who, after countless years of development, killed all other life forms with overwhelming numbers and pervasive energy, becoming the unique existence!
In nature, predators annihilating slightly weaker prey is a common phenomenon, but an entire world’s creatures being devoured is quite terrifying!
Birds in the sky, mammals in the forest, and fish in the ocean constitute the major branches of life. But in the Insect Realm, the forest, sky, and ocean all swarmed with insects, dense and all-encompassing. Even if a Golden-tier being accidentally fell into them, they would be consumed to bones in an instant, with no chance of escape!
Throughout the long evolution process, insects also underwent metamorphosis due to environmental changes. Perhaps initially, humans existed in that world, but eventually, they were all killed, devoured, and their skeletons might be the last trace of their existence. During this consumption process, some cockroach Race elites, seeking greater power, altered their genes, creating a new race.
This involved some forbidden research.
Like humans using rats and monkeys for experiments, these intelligent insects likely used human females as test subjects, who, after unimaginable abuse, gave birth to beings with a cockroach’s acute senses and human mobility joints!
Chen Feng shuddered slightly.
His energy far surpassed ordinary Golden-tier beings, giving him incredible mental calculation abilities. At this moment, through subtle clues, he clearly deduced the cause of the cockroach monster’s birth. But because of this, a wave of uncontrollable disgust surged in his heart.
This was an abomination!
A forbidden creature born from the fusion of insects and humans. Just standing there for a second exuded a nauseating aura to its surroundings.
If Chen Feng’s will was a flame, touching it would make one feel they were melting instantly, then the cockroach monster was a pool of filthy water, a repository of countless decaying garbage. Touching it is unnecessary; just a whiff would make one vomit even the stomach acid!
"Crunch!"
With a crisp sound, the cockroach monster stopped scanning the crowd and suddenly landed atop the Chaos Demon Spider’s head. It vigorously dug up the body, then burrowed into the head, voraciously consuming the juices inside.
Surprisingly, these brains have a fragrance that makes one’s appetite surge, tempting one to join in for a share. Others may be unaware, but Chen Feng knows that this clearly indicates a state of energy abundance that ordinary people cannot perceive. Those awakened professionals are exceedingly sensitive to energy, and thus they can smell these aromas!
This is exactly where the true strength of the Chaos Demon Spider lies. It relies on special abilities to shatter and fuse the bodies of creatures, discarding the dregs and swallowing only the true essence. Over time, its body is filled with this essence. If a professional can stomach and consume a mouthful, its value even surpasses royal jelly by tenfold!
The cockroach monster’s devouring speed is extremely fast. Just within a few seconds, the Chaos Demon Spider had already shrunk two sizes, and its body became as thin as a rake. At this point, ring after ring of ruddy energy materialized as it diffused from the cockroach monster’s body, causing the air to explode and form whirlpool after whirlpool!
This is a sign of a breakthrough into new realms, emerging victorious from a dire situation. The cockroach monster’s true intent in killing the Chaos Demon Spider was to leverage the latter’s Origin Power to ascend and step into the supreme legendary realm!
Chen Feng’s gaze was sharp and cold, sweeping forward slowly yet oppressively, bringing a suffocating pressure. Lesser-powered insects quickly retreated, not daring to linger even for a moment under such a gaze.
"Whew!"
As the cockroach monster’s power materialized, a wave of destructive energy hurled toward the opponent. The force was terrifyingly powerful, with many sonic booms resounding through the air!
Dust flew in all directions.
Under this absolute energy attack, the Chaos Demon Spider’s corpse crumbled inch by inch, vanishing into the air.
Originally, the Chaos Demon Spider had ascended to Golden Tier, and the strength of its insect armor had reached the limits of imagination. But just now, its entire energy origin had been completely devoured by the cockroach monster, causing the insect armor to turn brittle and oxidize in a single instant. Thus, the mighty Insect King disappeared entirely from the mortal world.
Energy waves radiated outward. For some unknown reason, upon sensing this aura, both insects and humans alike felt immense pressure—a sense of helplessness arising from the very depths of their hearts. Weaker bugs, like Tumor Insects and Amoebas, lay prostrate on the ground in utter submission.
This is Dragon’s Presence!
No matter what dimension, Giant Dragons are synonymous with strength. How can such dirty bloodlines like insects be compared to Giant Dragons?
These creatures rely not on tricks but purely on their physical strength. At this moment, under this unique oppressive force, over three thousand insects turned and submitted, drooping to the ground, no longer daring to move, evidently struck dumb by the sudden dragon’s presence!
A petite voice emerged in the sky.
The Inferior Demon, having devoured an entire Red Dragon, spread its wings and appeared above everyone’s heads. Facing the formidable cockroach monster, there was no trace of fear on the Inferior Demon’s face, only a slight interest as it looked toward the near-distance at the Blood Ball condensed by the Chaos Demon Spider, sensing intense energy within!
The Inferior Demon possessed intelligence; though it did not fear death, it did not completely ignore the cockroach monster. After devouring the Chaos Demon Spider, the opponent’s aura transcended again, seeming as if the next moment could step into an entirely new realm.
A battle of this level allows no negligence; even sometimes, there’s no room for stopping before things escalate!
"Bang!"
The sound of crashing stones echoed, and from beneath a boulder, the cockroach monster rose. Its body bore numerous wounds, clearly evidence of the explosion causing some damage earlier. But the next moment, these wounds began to slowly heal. In just a blink, the bleeding ceased!
The cockroach monster was known for its terrifying vitality; even in a vacuum environment, it could survive for a period. Upon stepping into Golden Tier, its body underwent vast transformation, displaying self-healing ability even stronger than Li Siyu’s healing arts!
It didn’t rush to attack but instead leaped beside the Blood Ball, exerting all strength, diving headfirst into it. Like a blue whale swallowing water, the massive Blood Ball vanished without a trace, entering the cockroach monster’s body. Thus, after devouring the Chaos Demon Spider, it mastered the essence of over a thousand bugs!
Its physique was massive, completely black, akin to congealed blood. A layer of tough blood armor covered its body.
At this moment, it had grown to a staggering three meters tall, like an imposing giant. Its ten fingers as sturdy as steel bars, felt as though it was a fusion of iron and flesh.
It was a slaughtering executioner, whether against humans or its kind, as long as it could acquire formidable power, it would emerge ruthless, showing not a single shred of mercy!
"Buzz buzz..."
A sound of ripping through the air arose, and the cockroach monster unharmed flew into the sky. Its backside had a pair of wings that rapidly flapped, charging towards the Inferior Demon!
This cockroach monster appeared proficient in hand-to-hand combat, its muscles bulging like rocks, raising its fist to strike at the Inferior Demon’s chest.
