Chapter 605: Chapter 591: The Power of the Divine Artifact
The major Insect Kings have fallen in battle one after another.
As the soul characters of the Insect Legion, with the demise of the cockroach monster, a large-scale morale decline occurred within the Insect Race Legion. Therefore, although there are still tens of thousands of insects remaining, they can no longer pose a fatal threat to the gorge gate.
At this moment, the Heavenly Givers erupted with abundant battle intent, no longer hiding their skills and showcasing their true abilities, especially the mages or long-range attackers, whose impact became even greater now. By summoning a lava pool, they could devour hundreds, even thousands of ordinary insects!
Moreover, the power of Order appeared frequently, and the Demon and Martial Cannon was brought out, as if enhanced ammunition cost nothing, bombarding the insect tide.
In an instant.
The battlefield turned around. Not long ago, the insects looked as ferocious as ever, but now they became like rats crossing the street, chased and beaten by everyone.
The Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish swung its tentacles into the insect tide, with every attack killing dozens of insects, while the Inferior Demon spewed Dragon Breath, causing massive casualties.
As for the Undead Mage, its specialty was the Summoning Skill. After casting its spell, the humans who had died earlier astonishingly climbed up from the ground. Their lives were gone, and the flesh on their corpses had been devoured completely, with most only having half their bodies.
Previously, they had no courage to face the insects, but at this moment, having been revived as undead, they launched a vendetta against the insects.
Over a thousand undead creatures climbed out from Hell, stretching their hands to grab the scattered insects, viciously biting them to death without leaving a single one alive!
The insects’ most feared ability was their poisonous bodies, but these undead were already corpses, completely ignoring the insects’ strongest methods. For a while, insect chirps and corpse howls echoed above the gorge gate.
"Not bad, not bad, so many insects, just perfect to test the full power of the Endless Sword!" At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly charged into the insect tide!
Chen Feng wielded the Endless Sword, slashing down towards a row of insects. With a "boom!", the insects cut by the Endless Sword instantly became a torch!
The Endless Sword’s temperature was too high, and these insects without ranks or at the Bronze Tier had no defensive abilities. Once they got close, they were engulfed in flames, turning to ash in an instant!
"This is the true power of a Sub-divine Artifact!"
Chen Feng shouted, feeling that holding the Endless Sword was akin to wielding endless power. He shattered the power of the Blazing Demon within, fully controlling the energy of the Sub-divine Artifact. With a strong swing, the longsword, originally just over a meter in length, manifested a massive fire pillar several meters wide!
"Boom!"
The insects close to these fire pillars were instantly burnt to death. Even Silver insects couldn’t escape unscathed. An Aurora Mantis, known for its speed, capable of reaching light speed for short durations due to its mutated wings.
But even such a talented insect, upon witnessing the fire pillar’s approach, attempted to flap its wings to dodge this terrifying strike, but before it could act, its wings began to melt. In no time, it lost its most critical support and soon was surrounded by a sea of corpses, torn to pieces!
"Hiss!"
At this time, the surrounding insects seemed to sense something, emitting the most tragic cries.
The surviving insects let out earth-shattering wails, instantly gathering a massive dark cloud in the sky, emitting a pungent stench, evidently possessing powerful venom. This might be the insects’ final trump card, concentrating their energy. When released, the surrounding land would be so corroded by the venom that not even grass could grow!
"Hmm? A strong desire to survive!" Chen Feng showed an amused expression. "These insects’ intellect in some areas is not weaker than humans. Even with the death of the Insect King, there are still subordinates at the Silver Tier. This strike attempts to confuse the battle, and the venom is so dense that ordinary people within ten miles, except the Awakened, would perish."
"However..." Chen Feng dragged his tone, "With the Endless Sword in my hand, you’re still underestimating the power of the Sub-divine Artifact!"
Speaking, Chen Feng flapped the Demon Wings behind him and charged toward the thick mist in the sky. He lifted the Endless Sword with force, and the sword’s blade, like a fiery pillar, shattered the dark clouds. What scheme? What venom? Under this terrifying incineration, all were reduced to nothing!
The final attack was thwarted, the insects became utterly desperate. Some Silver insects slumped to the ground motionless, a clear sign of surrender. Compared to the caterpillars, their bloodline was evidently higher, even knowing how to yield.
The defense forces around the gorge gate, upon hearing of the battle, arrived at great speed, and by now, reinforcements have completely surrounded the insects, leaving these uninvited guests with no chance of turning the tables!
Chen Feng, holding the Endless Sword, floated in mid-air, entire body emitting scorching flames, looking like a true deity from afar.
"I didn’t expect the full release of the Endless Sword’s energy to be this terrifying. This is just a Sub-divine Artifact. How terrifying would a true Divine Artifact be?"
Yet at this moment, Chen Feng didn’t show joy on his face. Instead, he was enveloped in contemplation. In this world, the happiest existence is often a frog at the bottom of a well, living content within its confines, with the sky seen as only the size of a millstone.
But one day, when the frog gains strength and leaps out of the well, it discovers how vast and boundless the sky truly is, bringing a sense of despair!
Chen Feng was like that frog once at the bottom, now leaping out and seeing the immense sky above, he felt a bit of fear.
Fortunately, the Blazing Demon underestimated him. If it had used this Sub-divine Artifact from the start, he might have already become a corpse.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng pushed these thoughts aside.
There are no "ifs" in this world. Standing here means he is a victor now.
Reflecting on it, Chen Feng only felt a newfound respect for this world. Order seems powerful, yet compared to the true Dimension Plane, it counts as nothing.
The road ahead is long, and the path is destined not to be smooth.
Looking at the Endless Sword in his hand, in the end, this artifact seemed somewhat wasted on him. His greatest ability was always the Summoning Skill. Even after the bloodline baptism of the Blazing Demon, compared to true combat masters, there was still a significant gap.
Despite Flora being a Master of Fist, not needing any weapons on ordinary days, her reaction and attack speed were several times his own. If he could master this Sub-divine Artifact, it would truly be a merging of strengths, and slaying legendary fighters wouldn’t be an issue then.
However, the Sub-divine Artifact had already recognized its master. Should Flora attempt to wield it rashly, the result would only be self-inflicted harm.
"After going full circle, you still belong to me. Rest assured, I won’t let your brilliance be buried. If possible, I’ll find a way to make you a true Divine Artifact!"
"Buzz..."
The Endless Sword seemed to understand Chen Feng’s words, trembling slightly. Artifacts have spirits, which is perhaps why they’re called artifacts!
With blood enveloping, the insects cried in the blood-soaked fields, the nauseating stench spreading everywhere. A trace of dawn pierced through the darkness, descending upon the earth. Tonight, for the entire city, was doomed to be a sleepless night.
