Chapter 2133: Chapter 2131: Insect Emperor World
One must understand that the over ten Blood Race members who set out earlier were all of Sun Blaze level, with one even at Peak Sun Blaze, whose strength is no less than that of the Insect Emperor.
Yet this power, even after being the first to activate the Blood Sea Technique, was still cut down by Lu Yiye from thousands of miles away with a single slash.
The Insect Emperor couldn’t imagine how there could be such immense power in this world.
Even the affiliated treasure of legend could not possess such might.
And who could stand against such a strong person?
His grand ambitions shattered instantly, with an unprecedentedly strong sense of foreboding in his heart.
At his slightest movement, the entire fleet descended into utter chaos; many Insect and Blood Race cultivators were still unclear about what had happened and continued to steer their battleships forward under previous orders, while some quick to react began fleeing, abandoning the ships. In an instant, the once orderly and massive fleet turned into complete disarray.
But soon, those fleeing cultivators of the Insect and Blood Races displayed horrified expressions because from all directions, vast blood seas surged in their direction.
The scale of those blood seas was truly unprecedented in their lives.
A total of nine blood seas surged from different directions, making it impossible for the cultivators of the Insect and Blood Races to evade the cover of the blood seas, regardless of the direction they chose to escape.
Each of those blood seas was commanded by a Treasure Blood Avatar of Lu Ye.
In the Star Abyss, the Treasure Blood Avatars couldn’t exert much effect, but in this stellar space, it was a different story.
The fleet of the Insect and Blood Races was well and truly surrounded by a single person, Lu Ye.
The large number of Insect and Blood Race cultivators scrambled in panic and terror, dodging like headless flies, only to ultimately be engulfed by the advancing blood seas, losing all space for maneuver.
Lu Ye strolled leisurely, the enormous blood seas suspended in the Void without a sound, occasionally sparking a flash of light, only for it to quickly extinguish.
Moments later, Lu Ye reached the blood sea and with a wave of his hand, the blood sea receded.
Endless remains of severed limbs and lifeless bodies, with twisted expressions, floated still on the spot.
The over a hundred battleships remained unscratched, yet the invading Insect and Blood Race army was completely annihilated.
For this battle, the Insect Emperor personally led the army, even drawing most of the two races’ high-end forces. With this one sweep, the two races were deeply crippled, and it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years to recover.
Lu Ye turned to look at the Reincarnation Tree behind, whose withered trunk gently swayed in response, to which Lu Ye nodded and flew forward.
Two days later, Insect Emperor World.
In the entirety of the stellar space, this was the most unique domain.
Other domains, regardless of their foundations, more or less contained their own vitality, as only by fostering life could they be called domains.
Insect Emperor World was not; it had no life, no sign of green across the domain.
Because it was a vast origin magnetic planet, with almost 80% of the star composed of origin magnetic ore, and spiritual energy from stellar space was nonexistent within a hundred thousand miles of the domain, only the invisible and intangible origin magnetic field filled the space.
Anyone who came here would be greatly suppressed, even someone as powerful as Sun Blaze could not wield much strength here.
The Insect Race discovered this place back then, seized it, and could survive here thanks to their unique talent, and it was precisely because of the uniqueness of Insect Emperor World that the Insect Race could persist.
Otherwise, given the attitude towards the Insect Race by the myriad races of stellar space, they would have been exterminated long ago.
Within Insect Emperor World, there was only one tree, a doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree, but with the Reincarnation Tree’s body weakened, it too had long withered.
In the past, the Reincarnation Tree Divine Sea competition that Lu Ye participated in had involved the Insect Emperor World’s Insect Race.
If the Reincarnation Tree were at its peak, Lu Ye could have used the mysterious connection between the Reincarnation Tree’s body and its doppelganger to teleport directly into the Insect Emperor World.
But that wasn’t possible now, as the Reincarnation Tree was in its Reincarnation stage, and previously bringing eleven of them back from Star Abyss had greatly drained the Tree Elder.
Fortunately, numerous Insect Paths had emerged in stellar space now, so traversing various places wasn’t such a hassle.
It only took two days for Lu Ye to reach near the Insect Emperor World.
Gazing from afar at this origin magnetic planet which appeared brown from the stellar view, Lu Ye couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of the world.
Outside Insect Emperor World, more than ten colossal insect hives floated, each of Sun Blaze scale, meaning normally, Sun Blaze level experts were there in command.
The Insect Race usually navigated the stars aboard these hives, invading suitable domains to pillage resources needed for the Insect Race’s development, storing them in the hives while a portion was used to nourish the hives and the majority was returned to Insect Emperor World.
Domains invaded by the Insect Race were typically left lifeless.
Apart from these over ten Sun Blaze level hives, within Insect Emperor World there were many more slightly lower-level hives as well, and from Lu Ye’s view, a certain area was densely packed with hives, resembling cocoons.
In anticipation of the impending fate, all the Blood Race’s high-end forces abandoned their domains to seek refuge with the Insect Race.
The Insect Race finally recalled all their wandering insect hives, gathering their strength.
However, neither the Blood Race nor the Insect Race anticipated that Lu Ye and his companions would return from the Star Abyss with an unmatched cosmic force, sealing their doom.
Upon entering the domain within a hundred thousand miles of the Insect Emperor World, Lu Ye felt his mana flow obstructed, evidently due to interference from the origin magnetic field. This interference worsened as he approached, until mana was completely immobilized, unusable.
Without mana, a cultivator can only rely on their physical body, reducing their strength by ninety percent.
Any ordinary cultivator would avoid this area, but Lu Ye continued to rapidly approach the Insect Emperor World.
He slightly activated the power of the Talent Tree, instantly covering his body with its roots and branches.
The interference disappeared completely, and the stagnant mana began to flow again.
Lu Ye felt satisfied, recalling the past when the Talent Tree could not isolate the origin magnetic field interference in the Nine Provinces. At that time, the Talent Tree had only undergone two transformations and was not comparable to its current state.
The Talent Tree, having transformed four times, was evidently beyond the influence of the origin magnetic field.
After testing, he withdrew the Talent Tree’s power and activated Dao force instead.
Sure enough, it worked. When Dao force merged with his mana, the origin magnetic field interference ceased completely.
The speed of his descent increased rapidly, surrounded by bursts of flame, like a meteor.
In the Insect Emperor World, countless Insect and Blood races looked up in alarm, watching as Lu Ye crashed into the gathering place of numerous insect hives.
A tremendous sound echoed, shaking the entire Insect Emperor World.
From the point of impact, a visibly expanding shockwave spread out, flattening everything within tens of thousands of miles, destroying all the insect hives in its fierce sweep.
With Dao force enhancement, his Mental Consciousness spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire Insect Emperor World.
In that moment, every Insect and Blood race member with cultivation felt a chilling dread, a foreboding of impending doom.
"Great powers are descending, the cosmos in dire peril and the Insect and Blood races, insidious as ever, must be eradicated as a warning!"
The majestic voice spread across the land, accompanied by an overwhelming spread of blood-red aura.
From above, the entire Insect Emperor World seemed to be bleeding. Around Lu Ye, Blood Sea unleashed fiercely in all directions, rapidly staining the immense star crimson, and this blood color spread in a shockingly fast pace.
After ten breaths, half of the Insect Emperor World was engulfed in this blood-red.
After fifteen breaths, the entire Insect Emperor World had become a blood orb!
Amidst turbulent Blood Sea, billions of creatures floated and sank, while curses, cries, pleas, and harrowing screams composed a final elegy for the two celestial races.
The Blood Race cultivators left in the Insect Emperor World never imagined that in fleeing here for sanctuary, they would face annihilation after only a decade!
In any other place, they might still have a chance to struggle, but within the Insect Emperor World, their powers were utterly inaccessible, leaving them awaiting death.
Some Insect Race cultivators attempted to escape the domain, realizing the peril, but within the Blood Sea, they couldn’t find the right direction.
Life forces began to snuff out, as even the over ten Sun Blaze class insect hives hovering outside the Insect Emperor World were shattered by the enormous blood-red hands emerging from the Blood Sea.
"To destroy my race with such brutality, no matter who you are, divine retribution will surely come!"
An enraged ancient voice emanated from the Blood Sea.
Following the sound, Lu Ye found an elderly Insect Race member within an altar-like ancient building, angrily shouting.
Holding a cane, his bent figure stood there, head raised skyward, clad in bizarrely colorful attire, appearing extremely odd.
Is this the Insect Race High Priest? Lu Ye pondered.
Perhaps a decade ago, he might have been interested in conversing with the Insect Race High Priest, but not now; in the face of absolute power, all resistance and shouts were futile.
Moreover, regarding the Star Abyss, the Insect Race High Priest likely knew less than he did.
"Divine retribution?" Lu Ye scoffed, "How many domains have your Insect Race destroyed? If divine retribution exists, I embody that for your Insect Race!"
Beside the Insect Race High Priest, a blood-red vortex emerged from nowhere, and a phantom resembling Lu Ye stepped out, obliterating the High Priest with a casual strike.
This guy wasn’t even at Sun Blaze level! In terms of cultivation, he was merely at Moon Jade Late Stage, yet became the Insect Race High Priest somehow.
Throughout the Blood Sea, countless blood-red vortices appeared, each releasing a figure with Lu Ye’s silhouette, engaging in indiscriminate slaughter. The blood-red figures constantly dissolved and reappeared elsewhere, bringing death wherever they appeared.
In a brief time, the vitality of the Insect Emperor World was largely extinguished.
