Chapter 608: Chapter 594: Bringing Shame Upon Oneself
Packed tightly, the insects crawled out from the fissure, seemingly intent on avenging past grievances. The moment they touched the ground, they began to spread out in all directions.
But this time, what awaited them were not those ordinary people who only knew fear, but the Skeleton Warriors who had already tasted death once.
The Mutated Skeleton took a step forward, with the Soul Fire flickering a ghostly light, raised the bone knife in its hand and swung it forward, prompting the surrounding Skeleton Warriors to pounce.
Insect chirping.
Corpse howls.
And the sound of bones rubbing echoed across the battlefield.
The insects were immediately ambushed; low-tier insects didn’t even have time to react before being besieged by the skeletons and killed, spreading that thick metallic scent once more.
Once stained with fresh blood, the Skeleton Warriors seemed as if gasoline had been poured onto a flame, instantly becoming excited, with their initially shattered bones slowly mending. Clearly, they were absorbing insect blood to strengthen themselves!
The Skeleton Warriors can indeed evolve!
On the Bone Plain, as long as they consume enough Power of the Soul, their bodies naturally undergo mutations, gradually gaining more formidable strength.
Unbeknownst to many, for the Undead, while souls are important, blood also serves as a crucial supplement. Chen Feng seemed to have anticipated this situation, looking very calm, while Lin Tianxiu was visibly shaken after witnessing the brutal war.
The fissure was only a tenth of its previous size, greatly reducing the number of emerging insects. In such a crowded environment, even Silver insects couldn’t exhibit their usual strength, often being surrounded by the skeletons as soon as they appeared, with hundreds of bone blades hacking at one spot, causing even the toughest Insect Armor to show some wear.
Moreover, ten Mutated Skeletons were eyeing them from the side, possessing simple intelligence and knowing the perfect timing to strike.
These Mutated Skeletons weren’t solely humanoid; some had skeleton beast bodies with human heads, clearly composite in form, and exuded a fearsome, unstoppable presence in battle.
Boom!
A loud crash, as a beetle emerged from the fissure.
This beetle was covered in scales, each scale the size of an adult’s palm, exuding a robust aura that surprisingly carried a faint trace of Giant Dragon Qi.
The nature of dragons is inherently indulgent.
The offspring of Giant Dragons are spread across all Dimensions, especially those dragons with space-control abilities, often engaging in planar travels, and during those journeys, who knows what indescribable things they encounter with other creatures.
This was a Red Sun Beetle, possessing the ability to spew flames. Moreover, with a hint of thin Dragon Race bloodline, the flames engulfed in its breath had been tempered by dragon force, making them even more fearsome, capable of melting a piece of steel into liquid in seconds.
"Whoosh!"
The Red Sun Beetle began to gather its strength, raising its neck, and its body temperature noticeably started to rise. Under this heat, the surrounding insects quickly retreated for fear of becoming sacrifices in its attack.
"Blub!"
Before it could release, a bubble sound echoed, and not far away, a giant water bullet had already been conjured, aimed right at the Red Sun Beetle.
The Red Sun Beetle’s flame hadn’t reached its peak, but upon seeing the water bullet, it sensed the powerful Water Element within and was forced to open its mouth, instantly spewing a massive pillar of flame like a volcanic eruption towards the water bullet.
Water and fire fused.
The area around them was instantly shrouded in mist, and aside from the sounds of combat and the bloody scent pervading the air, outsiders had no idea what was happening inside.
Once the mist cleared, a horrifying scene emerged, revealing the Red Sun Beetle had been torn to pieces, with the culprit being none other than the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish.
Within the belly of the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish existed a tiny world, capable of gathering enough water to fill a lake in an instant. Just now, it first feigned an attack with a water bullet, then used the fog as cover to approach the Red Sun Beetle, using its sturdy tentacles to tear it apart!
Seeing the blood of a Golden Tier being flow to the ground, the Mutated Skeletons could contain themselves no longer, plunging into the blood pool like maniacs, craving even more blood and souls to advance further.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
Not long ago, when the insects first arrived, they bore the demeanor of invaders. But now, the sides had suddenly reversed after the skeleton ambush, with the insects unable to muster even half their strength before being killed, becoming nourishment for the enemy’s evolution.
"The Lord truly has far-reaching plans. With these skeletons here, no matter how many insects come, they’re just seeking their own doom!" Watching all this, Lin Tianxiu exclaimed.
"That’s just the start; without sacrificial offerings, the Silver Skeletons lack intelligence, unable to understand concepts like joint attack and encirclement. Once they gain intelligence, their strength will advance further. Additionally, the skeletons are transforming; the strength of the Skeleton Warriors lies in their numbers. Once it reaches the tens of thousands, any terrifying enemy can be fought. Many ants biting an elephant to death—such is the idea!" Chen Feng remained unmoved, as if watching as an outsider.
"Hiss..."
Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, a radiant light flickered from the fissure, and at that instant, a massive Insect Limb emerged!
Judging solely from the insect limb, it’s unclear what kind of insect it is, but it carries a destructive aura. As soon as it appeared, Chen Feng sensed a storm of blood; its target was the bottom-dwelling demon fish ravenously gobbling nearby.
Legendary power!
No matter how ferocious the bottom-dwelling demon fish is, it’s ultimately at the Golden Tier. The moment it felt itself locked onto by the legendary aura, it shivered in place, completely clueless on what to do.
A strong figure in the Insect Realm, having witnessed all this, could no longer control the anger within after seeing its subordinates slaughtered, decided to personally end the life of the bottom-dwelling demon fish!
Legendary beings have their own pride; they rarely bully the weak unless absolutely necessary. But now, although it couldn’t break open the fissure, it extended a small piece of insect limb to try to kill the demon fish, showing just how furious it really was!
It should be noted that since the attack began, several Insect Kings have fallen on this land. Even though the Insect Realm is vast and home to countless mutated insects, the frequent killing of its subordinates undoubtedly shook the rulership of this Insect Emperor!
Revenge!
It wanted to kill the bottom-dwelling demon fish to quell the anger in its heart.
"Hmph!" Observing all this, Chen Feng’s gaze turned sinister as demon wings unfurled behind him. He looked at the insect limb and coldly stated, "If your entire body had descended, perhaps I’d feel fear. But just a small piece of insect limb is outright humiliating yourself. You’ve scared my pet; use this part of your body as an apology gift!"
This legendary insect’s realm already matched that of the Blazing Demon, and was even stronger than that demon. At this moment, it emerged from the fissure, and just a small piece of insect limb struck terror into the demon fish, making it incapable of defense—its strength was clearly beyond imagination!
Just as it was about to smash the demon fish, Chen Feng suddenly soared from the ground, streaked across the sky, and raised a flaming longsword to slash at the insect limb!
The Endless Sword burned with all-consuming Flame Power, and when it struck the insect limb, it didn’t sever it in one blow but sliced halfway through.
Terrifying!
Chen Feng furrowed his brows, realizing he’d somewhat underestimated the Insect Emperor. Not even a sub-divine artifact could sever it in one stroke, showcasing the incredible resilience of its body!
If its true body appeared, even if the entire gorge charged at it, it might lead only to death, with no opposition capable of resisting it!
"Hissss!"
The Insect Emperor roared in rage, seemingly unprepared for such developments, rapidly withdrawing its insect limb and attempting to flee!
"Once here, you must leave something behind! This piece of limb, I’m taking it!" Having already made enemies, Chen Feng decided to go all the way, shouting and striking the Endless Sword onto the wounded area again. Instantly, a piece of insect limb about two meters long fell toward the ground.
Endless resentment wafted out from the fissure, locking onto Chen Feng as if it were tangible; it had memorized his scent. Once it descends upon the Human World, it would surely seek revenge!
"Master..."
Lin Tianxiu picked up the insect limb from the ground, looking at Chen Feng with a somewhat difficult expression.
"This is the aura of a strong being. Something like Golden Tier is nothing. I outsmarted it this time, even cutting off a small piece of its body. It certainly will hold a grudge against me, but it’s no big deal. Pressure creates motivation—once it descends, I too will likely have achieved legendary status. By then, who knows who will fall beneath whom!"
Confidence beamed on Chen Feng’s face, clearly enjoying outsmarting a legendary being.
Lin Tianxiu didn’t know what to say, so he merely handed the legendary insect limb to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng grabbed the insect limb; it felt neither like iron nor ordinary flesh, with a sharpness rivaling high-quality weapons crafted by master blacksmiths.
Is this the body of a legendary creature?
Though the cockroach monster achieved legendary status, it’s merely a novice. This Insect Emperor, however, has existed for countless years, perhaps soon breaking through to the next realm.
Chen Feng, now provoking another peerless strong being after the Blazing Demon, wasn’t at all panicked. As he said, pressure creates motivation. This fissure will remain for a while; if the legendary Insect Emperor descends in a few years and he remains at the Golden Tier, death would be certain—there would be no pity!
Cruel to others, but even more cruel to himself!
This is Chen Feng’s way to victory.
"You’ve received a surprise; this severed limb may serve as compensation from it. Within lies a hint of legendary energy—it might just be your fortuitous chance." After playing with it for a few seconds, Chen Feng took the limb and casually tossed it toward the bottom-dwelling demon fish.
By now, the bottom-dwelling demon fish had calmed down. Upon seeing the insect limb, it hastily swallowed it, containing legendary energy, proving more valuable and nutritious than swallowing hundreds of low-tier insects!
"Alright, these insects are not worth worrying about. Next, proceed with other plans; conduct the Blood Sacrifice with skeletons and dispersing survivors must occur as quickly as possible!"
Chen Feng ordered, not even glancing at the wailing insects nearby, flying back toward the camp.
