Chapter 1682: This Bug Formation Is Quite Powerful


Clearly, everyone present did not expect the Divine Magic Winged Bug to suddenly display such a move.


Everyone knew that its wings could transform into various forms. However, n.o.body knew that they could transform into Dao Weapons, let alone that they could possess the abilities of those Dao Weapons.


Twelve of the wings turned into ma.s.sive bells. As they rang loudly, circle upon circle of formless ripples began spreading out.


Scarlet Fox’s rapidly approaching figure was dozens of times slower now as if he had suddenly fallen into mud.


Another forty-eight of the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s wings transformed into sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, seizing the opportunity to attack Scarlet Fox.


When Scarlet Fox saw this, his form immediately altered again.


This time, he transformed into a muscled strongman standing more than two point five meters in height. His build was even wider than that of the short, burly bald man.


At the same time that his transformation completed, his body immediately turned a bronze color, its surface entirely covered with Odyl. Inexorably, he faced down this wave of attack.


Lin Huang particularly noticed that the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s attacks did not leave any wounds on Scarlet Fox’s body at all.


‘A transformation like this probably isn’t a rule power; it’s his Goldfinger’s ability,’ Lin Huang rapidly conjectured as he watched Scarlet Fox laughing arrogantly at the Divine Magic Winged Bug. ‘What’s the principle behind his Goldfinger’s function? It likely isn’t as simple as being able to transform when he sees someone. Could it be that after he kills someone, he’s able to transform into that person and gain all of their abilities…


‘His personality seemed to have changed again after this transformation… So the price for using his Goldfinger is that he gains a personality each time he obtains a new transformation privilege?’


In his heart, Lin Huang silently speculated about this.


‘If gaining split personalities isn’t the cost of utilization, then this Goldfinger’s abilities can probably be considered extremely powerful.’


After his transformation into the muscular strongman, Scarlet Fox’s fighting style had clearly become increasingly crazed.


He began making his way closer to the Divine Magic Winged Bug, disregarding everything else. Snarling and roaring as if he had lost his mind, he ignored all his opponent’s attacks.


The Divine Magic Winged Bug possessed considerable combat experience. Immediately, it changed its battle strategy.


Its wings transformed into more ma.s.sive bells to restrict its opponent’s movements.


On another front, its initial attack weapons also instantly transformed into spiritual attack Dao Weapons. They transformed into ghost heads.


The dozens of ghost heads simultaneously uttered piercing shrieks, spreading circle after circle of G.o.d’s soul attacks.


Not only was it hard for Scarlet Fox to move forward, but there was an excruciating stabbing pain in his head. He felt as if his G.o.d’s soul was being bitten by tens of thousands of ghosts.


This time, Nine Snake finally could not stand it any longer and took a hand.


His tongue darted out like an electric arc and coiled around Scarlet Fox’s waist, dragging him out of the battlefield.


“Rest for a while.”


Seeing that the heavily-muscled Scarlet Fox was still holding his head in pain, Nine Snake immediately gave an order and signaled to Silver—who was standing beside him—with his eyes.


Naturally, Silver did not dare to refuse. He turned into a silver ray of light and closed in on the Divine Magic Winged Bug.


Despite noticing that it suddenly had a different opponent, the Divine Magic Winged Bug remained calm.


The battle with Scarlet Fox earlier had clearly boosted its confidence.


It used the same technique from just now on Silver.


Although Silver’s movements did slow down considerably, the G.o.d’s soul attack did not seem to work on him at all.


When the Divine Magic Winged Bug saw this, the ghost heads instantly turned into Buddha statues.


The Buddha statues were striking wooden fish—percussion instruments made from hollow blocks of wood— while chanting scriptures.


For a while, there was chanting in the air accompanied by the percussion sounds of the wooden fish and the ringing of bells.


Lin Huang felt as if he had been transported into a temple. The only thing lacking was a stick of burning incense.


This technique involving Buddha statues was still a G.o.d’s soul attack; it merely used a different method to do so.


However, apart from his body being slightly dented, Silver remained unaffected by the G.o.d’s soul attack.


Only then did the Divine Magic Winged Bug realize that its opponent’s G.o.d’s soul might be anomalous, making it immune to G.o.d’s soul attacks.


Without hesitation, it decisively changed methods.


One by one, the Buddha statues transformed into sabers, spears, swords, and halberds again, as well as a comprehensive variety of other weapons.


It only did this so it could test which kind of weapon would be most effective on its opponent.


However, all the weapons comparable to expert-grade Dao Weapons could only cause light scratches less than one centimeter deep when they struck Silver’s body.


Silver was even able to repair those light scratches instantly. They did not remain on his body for any longer than one second at most.


“A powerful mechanical species with dual defense capabilities…” Lin Huang fell into deep thought as he stared at Silver.


He was considering how he would respond if he encountered an opponent like this, and he could not use force to break their defenses.


Silver was practically immune to G.o.d’s soul attacks because he was a purely mechanical being that did not have a G.o.d’s soul at all.


His consciousness was stored in a mechanical tinder somewhere within his body.


Naturally, G.o.d’s soul attacks would not work on him in the least.


If one wanted to kill Silver with G.o.d’s soul attacks, one had to possess a G.o.d’s soul so powerful that it could break into the tinder within his body and erase his consciousness by force.


The Divine Magic Winged Bug’s G.o.d’s soul had obviously not reached such a level yet.


Even Lin Huang was not really sure if he himself could do that. After all, the other party was an upper-rank Lord.


Silver was clearly top-notch in terms of physical defenses.


Purely mechanical beings were top-notch in physical defense capabilities even if these abilities were transplanted into the universe.


Not only did they have powerful defense capabilities, but they were also immensely strong. They were by no means inferior to many ferocious combat cultivator-type beasts from the ancient epoch, even.


To kill an individual with such powerful physical defense capabilities, the best method was still subjugation via might. Either one mastered Dao seal power that was much stronger than that of the other party, or else one could use Dao Weapons that surpa.s.sed the opponent’s physical strength.


However, the Divine Magic Winged Bug clearly possessed neither of these.


Lin Huang even envisioned putting himself in the Divine Magic Winged Bug shoes for a moment and imagined himself fighting, using the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s current level of abilities. He ran a simulation in his head and realized it would still be difficult to breach his opponent’s defenses, despite being a sword cultivator with powerful attack ability.


“Now that’s quite difficult.” Lin Huang glanced at the Divine Magic Winged Bug with a touch of sympathy.


Any attack methods that the Diving Magic Winged Bug could use had been completely suppressed by Silver.


Apart from control-type skills that were still effective, spiritual and physical attacks had very little effect.


Just when Lin Huang thought the Divine Magic Winged Bug had exhausted its bag of tricks, an unusual change abruptly occurred on the battlefield.


The Divine Magic Winged Bug let out a shriek, and the ten mutated bugs not far behind moved almost simultaneously. One by one, they began to integrate with the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s bug formation.


As the mutated bugs integrated one by one, the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s aura began to skyrocket extremely quickly.


Its aura—initially early upper-rank lord-level—soon rose to peak upper-rank lord-level at a speed that could seen with the naked eye.


“This bug formation is quite powerful.”


Lin Huang could not help raising his brows when he saw what was happening. When the bug formation was fully integrated, the strength of the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s aura was only a step away from that of a Lord.


Nine Snake had preserved his calm all along, but when he saw the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s transformation, a grave expression flashed through his eyes.


The bug formation’s elevation in power was enough to make him feel threatened.
