Chapter 1145: Mother h.e.l.lish-insect
Liu Ming blurred and appeared on top of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
With a burst of silver light, a silver th.o.r.n.y glove appeared on his right fist. His punch drew a silver arc in the air, hitting the b.l.o.o.d.y coc.o.o.n of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
He poured in all spiritual power into this punch.
Click!
Cracks suddenly appeared in the b.l.o.o.d.y coc.o.o.n, then it shattered. The centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace glared at Liu Ming with b.l.o.o.d.y eyes.
Roar!
The centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace let out a roar and waved his front claws. The nails were launched from the claws, slashing toward Liu Ming in 2 black lines.
Liu Ming hurriedly retreated in shock.
With a tearing sound, a black line brushed past Liu Ming’s back, and dark red bloodstains appeared on Liu Ming’s back, but he still managed to avoid the blow of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
The moment the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace waved his sharp claws, Che Huan stomped on heavily on the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace’s head.
The centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace’s head emitted a crack sound, then he spouted a pool of gray blood.
A black shadow flashed, and Liu Ming appeared next to the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace. The silver fist drew another arc in the air. The h.e.l.l Prison seemed to be illuminated by the light.
Amidst the roars of dragons and tigers, the silver fist light hit the head of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
There was a louder cracking sound, and a big hole was punched out on the head of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
The centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace’s huge body trembled violently. His green blood splashed everywhere in the air.
Che Huan grunted, turned into a giant green blade and slashed on the neck of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
Click!
The head of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace was chopped off. The gray blood gushed out like a fountain. The body fell from the air.
“Bang“, the river water below splashed in all directions.
“Finally killed this insect!”
Liu Ming let out a long breath. Although his face was slightly pale, the wound on his back healed quickly under the black air.
This time he had used all his means, yellow turban soldier talisman, Che Huan Totem, 12 Mountain River Pearl and h.e.l.l Prison, to finally kill this Celestial State the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace.
Unfortunately, he was beheaded by Liu Ming before he could use all his skills.
Although this battle was not long, Liu Ming consumed a lot of spiritual power. If the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace survived this round of atacks, Liu Ming would have to consider continuing to escape.
Liu Ming launched several symbols to cancel the h.e.l.l Prison and turn the 12 h.e.l.l river ghost kings back into Mountain River Pearls again.
At this moment, a b.l.o.o.d.y light suddenly shot out from the head of the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace and dashed into the distance with incomparable speed.
But just after the b.l.o.o.d.y light flew not far away, a green light came. Che Huan shot a green light and contained the b.l.o.o.d.y light in it.
As soon as the b.l.o.o.d.y light touched the green light, it immediately revealed its true form. It was a small h.e.l.lish-Insect with an extremely slender body and 8 tentacles-like claws.
The h.e.l.lish-Insect struggled in the green light as the b.l.o.o.d.y light was being devoured. He let out a miserable shrill in fear.
Liu Ming sneered. He had already been prepared for this. The Celestial State existence was different from the Real Pellet State. The soul was already extremely strong. Even after abandoning physical body, the soul still had some magical skills. This h.e.l.lish-Insect could survive in the Tianmen Convention probably because of this reason.
In the green light, the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect’s body shrunk rapidly. He was about to be annihilated.
Liu Ming waved his hand, released a cl.u.s.ter of black mist and pulled the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect out of the green light.
“Sir, please spare my life. I used to serve as a protector for the Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect. My cultivation was Mystic Comprehending State. I know countless secret techniques of your kind. As long as you spare my life, I’m willing to dedicate it all to sir…” The eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect made a small sound, begging for mercy in human language.
Liu Ming looked indifferent as if he didn’t hear it. His fingers emitted black lights to wrap the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect, then there was a strange humming sound.
A cl.u.s.ter of light slowly infiltrated into the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect from Liu Ming’s hand. He was performing the soul-searching.
This centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace was most likely a Mystic Comprehending State h.e.l.lish-Insect before. There must be a lot of hidden information about the h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan in his Divine Thought.
However, even though this h.e.l.lish-Insect’s soul had lost physical body, it was still extremely tenacious under the soul search. Liu Ming almost exhausted his power to get some intermittent information, and most of them were useless.
Liu Ming was secretly surprised. The other party was worthy of being the former Mystic Comprehending State, but how could Liu Ming not gain anything from it. He spouted a patch of blood at the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect, then it turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y spiritual flame that enveloped the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect.
The eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect spirit suddenly let out an extremely miserable scream as if he was suffering unbearable pain.
Liu Ming chanted loudly. The mist in his hand continuously seeped into the insect’s head. As time pa.s.sed by, he nodded and frowned from time to time.
After a long time, he opened his eyes with an uncertain face. He closed his grasp and completely perished the soul.
In the memory of the eight-clawed h.e.l.lish-Insect, he did get some information, but most importantly, he finally knew the exact origin of this h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan.
It turned out that this h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan used to live in an insect clan plan. It was a branch of the ancient giant insect. Generally speaking, only when these h.e.l.lish-Insects reached a certain level could they transform from insect form to human form and become the h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan.
However, at some point in time, a mother of the h.e.l.lish-Insect emerged suddenly among the h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan. Her power was astonishing, far surpa.s.sing the general Mystic Comprehending State. She almost became an invincible existence in that plane.
Even more terrifying, she was born with the ability to devour all kinds of energies. She can almost never-ending enhance her own strength in various environments. Some of her descendants had even inherited her characteristic of devouring the energies. Of course, they weren’t as powerful as the Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect.
But the good times didn’t last long. As the number of h.e.l.lish-Insect Clans increased, the energy they devoured also increased. Soon, h.e.l.lish-Insect Clans had fierce conflicts with other insect clans on the same plane. A war that lasted tens of thousands of years broke out.
Relying on the powerful reproductive ability and the powerful devouring talent, Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect gradually consolidated her position in the tragic war, and she finally defeated the coalition forces of other insect clans.
After the war, h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan, led by Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect, started endless ma.s.sacres and devouring. Other insect clans could no longer stop their invasion, and some of the remaining insect clans were forced to flee into other planes.
The victorious h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan no longer had a threat, and their numbers grew rapidly at a geometric rate.
However, the energy of the plane was limited. The h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan quickly slaughtered all other creatures on their original plane and devoured all kinds of energy, causing the plane to collapse.
Later, before the plane collapsed, Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect led hundreds of millions of descendants to invade the adjacent plane.
Relying on the continuous reproduction, the scene that happened in the previous insect clan plane was constantly repeated.
Finally, after Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect brought destruction to several planes, a dozen of Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses from other planes joined forces to fight Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect to protect their own planes. After battling for countless days and nights, they could only severely injure her and put her into a deep sleep. The dozen Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses suffered heavily in their vitality without eliminating Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect.
Without the powerful ability of Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect, the h.e.l.lish-Insect Clan could no longer invade other planes unscrupulously for a while. Because the energy of their own plane had been exhausted, some h.e.l.lish-Insects were so hungry that they started killing their own kinds.
Until decades ago, the centipede with b.l.o.o.d.y carapace escaped back to his own plane by chance. Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect also happened to wake up temporarily when he returned, so he immediately reported to her about the human realm.
Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect hated other planes to the bone. In fury, she finally locked the coordinates of the Middle Sky Continent, opened the s.p.a.ce tunnel and began to invade the human realm…
After a long while, Liu Ming sighed. He released a black light to bring the corpse of the centipede toward him, then he grabbed in the air.
“Bang“, the corpse burst open, and a b.l.o.o.d.y bead flew out of it. The bead emitted strong spiritual power fluctuations, which was the crystal core of this Celestial State h.e.l.lish-Insect.
The value of this crystal core alone was astonishing.
Liu Ming observed it for a moment before keeping it in the Sumeru Ring, then he looked at the mutilated corpse.
At this moment, Che Huan let out a groan.
Liu Ming frowned and threw this corpse toward Che Huan.
Che Huan screamed excitedly. It impatiently spouted a green air to wrap the corpse.
The corpse shrank rapidly in the green light, and it was swallowed by Che Huan in just a few minutes.
Che Huan circled around Liu Ming in great satisfaction. After letting out another roar, it turned back into a green light and returned to Liu Ming’s left shoulder.
Liu Ming’s body trembled. A huge heat surged out from the Che Huan pattern on his left shoulder, rushing into his sea of consciousness.
His sea of consciousness, which was nearly exhausted, was quickly replenished.
Liu Ming was overjoyed.
This phenomenon also happened when Che Huan Totem devoured a large amount of h.e.l.lish-Insects’ essence in the southern wilderness.
This kind of thing is not mentioned in the codex of Che Huan Totem I got. Could it be that Che Huan Totem has gone through some kind of mutation?
Liu Ming thought for a moment, but he couldn’t figure it out. He shook his head, wrapped himself in black air and disappeared into the distance.
TL: If Mother h.e.l.lish-Insect wakes up, no one will be able to stop her. Can they kill her while she is in deep sleep?
