Chapter 497 - Insect Race Invasion
Insect race!
In just the blink of an eye, there were over 10,000 insect Qi Pract.i.tioners swarming out of the ice palace. They flew past the sides of that mother insect G.o.d and formed patches of clouds in the sky, moving away in all directions!
While on the ground, there were also many insect Qi Pract.i.tioners swarming into the Frozen Ancient Capital!
The Bai Zhe G.o.d"s scalp tingled. Last year, when he was saved by Zhong Yue, he learned of the ice palace"s uses as the seal to prevent the insect race"s invasion.
Yet, it had only been a year"s time before the seal became broken!
With the insect Qi Pract.i.tioners swarming out, it meant that Lord Bai"s seal that barred the dimensional tunnel between insect planet and Ancestral Star was broken by the insect race!
From now onward, there would be no more obstruction between the insect planet and Ancestral Star!
“DIE!" The Bai Zhe G.o.d roared in anger. Totem patterns weaved into a dense net and surrounded the whole ice palace. These nets were like spider webs; the insect race would be stuck upon coming into contact with it and would burn into ashes right after.
With just the drop of a hat, thousands of insect Qi Pract.i.tioners were already killed by the totem pattern net.
Then, the Bai Zhe G.o.d instantly projected his voice across the whole city. Immediately, the whole city plunged into chaos and disorder, but Bai Zhenhuang, Bai Zhenbei, and the other experts reacted proficiently soon enough. They ordered the elders to bring the clansmen to safety while the Qi Pract.i.tioners of Inner Core level and above would go out and eliminate the insects!
“Jeje, what a prize here, a delicious fresh G.o.d!”
In front of the ice palace, the mother insect G.o.d was smirking smugly. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and sucked in a deep breath of air. Unlike the other races that opened up and down, her mouth opened in four directions like flower petals. With long and sharp teeth on every petal!
The totem pattern net was sucked into her mouth, she chomped on the net along with the insects stuck on it, swallowing them into her stomach!
The mother insect G.o.d ate the totem pattern net and broke the Bai Zhe G.o.d"s skill. Her eight legs strode forward while she was chortling as she said, “We insects are created to kill the celestials and demons! My delicious food, be good and come into my mouth!”
The Bai Zhe G.o.d slightly crouched his lamb legs and dashed out forward. The two G.o.ds clashed together and ravaged the buildings around. The insect race"s skills were incredibly bizarre; most of them were targeted more toward the Yuan Shen and soul instead of physical body. This was something even the scholarly Bai Zhe G.o.d had never seen before, causing the him to harden his face and conserve his attacks in fear of being struck badly.
The Bai Zhe Clan"s strongest forte was their knowledge. They had records of nearly every race"s skills and researched on them. Most of the time, the Bai Zhe disciples would be striking on the weaknesses of their opponent"s skills and win battles.
However, the insect race was not in their research list, there were little to no records on the insect race"s skills. Thus, the Bai Zhe G.o.d was fighting conservatively against the mother insect G.o.d.
While in the Frozen Ancient Capital, the Bai Zhe Qi Pract.i.tioners were warring with the insect race. Pained cries and curses could be heard everywhere. Great skills, skills, array formation and soul weapons were all over the place.
A Heavenly Dharma Bai Zhe Qi Pract.i.tioner had just been through a b.l.o.o.d.y battle with a Heavenly Dharma insect Qi Pract.i.tioner. He managed to deliver the final blow on the insect Qi Pract.i.tioner, and as soon as the opponent was killed, he heaved a breath of relief. And in that single second of relaxation, the Heavenly Dharma insect Qi Pract.i.tioner"s corpse exploded into countless tiny little bugs that swarmed into his body.
Cries of fear and terror resounded through the sky. The Bai Zhe Heavenly Dharma Qi Pract.i.tioner"s skin could be seen rippling as the bugs moved underneath the flesh. In an instant, the bugs left his body in all domains and an empty bag of skin was all that remained on the ground.
His Yuan Shen, mortal body, bones, and even secret realms were devoured by the little bugs, leaving only his skin.
Some of the insect Qi Pract.i.tioners who flew in the sky pounced down on the Bai Zhe Clan disciples and devoured their food.
There was also the insect Qi Pract.i.tioners who had the appearance of silkworms with three pairs of wings. They fluttered in the wind like lighting and swarmed in groups. They could kill dozens of Bai Zhe Qi Pract.i.tioners in just the matter of seconds.
“Division of Wind Whisperers, inform all of the other races that the insect race has arrived and plead them for reinforcements!" Bai Zhenhuang was entangled in the center of the battlefield and he shouted loudly. He could kill dozens of insect Qi Pract.i.tioners with each swing of a hand, but the insects were never ending swarming at him.
The Division of Wind Whisperers was located at one of the surviving buildings. There were many senior cultivators dressed in white robes and as soon as they heard Bai Zhenhuang, they cast out a totem pillar each. Each of the totem pillars were linked to a race, East Barren monster race, Great Wilderness human race, West Barren celestial race, South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race, the oceanic dragon race, and even the overseas demon race!
The insect race was the common enemy of every other race. Even the insect race"s progenitor, the fiendish demon race, was a long-standing nemesis to the insect race!
The Bai Zhe Clan was, after all, a powerful race that dominated the North Barren for ages. Although they had fewer clansmen, their prowess was not weak. Soon, the insect Qi Pract.i.tioners in the city were killed and the battlefield was slowly pressed toward the ice palace.
In the ice palace, there were still insects swarming out unceasingly. But if they could press the battle to the ice palace, the Bai Zhe Clan would be able to stop the insect race from entering the Ancestral Star.
“Little baby Gu Hongzi, where are you~?" In the snowy mountains of the northernmost region. A beautiful woman was looming in and out the mountains like an ice fairy. It was now the polar-night period and for the next half a year"s time or so, darkness would not falter from the sky and the coldness would grow stronger with time. But this beautiful woman barely any pieces on clothes on her body, with only a piece of pink muslin around her.
“Little baby Gu Hongzi, do you think you can run away from mother insect? Jeje, how rare is it, for a little baby like you to crawl away from mother for such a long time…." Suddenly, the beautiful woman sensed something, and her eyes brightened up. Immediately, she halted on the ground and looked toward the North Barren.
“This… this is the air of my fellow insect! Is she in the Ancestral Star now?" the beautiful woman was also a mother insect G.o.d. She was the one Zhong Yue and Gu Hongzi had met with the last time in the Gu Diao Celestial Race. She had eaten up the whole Gu Diao Celestial Race and made her descendants take control over the Gu Diao bodies.
After Zhong Yue exposed her ident.i.ty, the celestial race eliminated all of the existing Gu Diao disciples and killed her descendants. Only she was strong enough to escape and was hunted by the West Barren G.o.ds. She crossed the sea to the demon race and was also hunted by the demon G.o.ds there. Everyday, she had been living in fear of death ever since she was exposed.
After a long traipse and arduous journey, she was finally able to extricate herself from the other G.o.ds" hunt. She changed her appearance and ident.i.ty, coming back to search for Gu Hongzi so that she could dig Zhong Yue out. But who knew that Gu Hongzi would lead her to the northernmost region of the Ancestral Star and hide himself from her with the help of the polar night.
“If this mother insect G.o.d is already in the Ancestral Star, it means that the tunnel between the two planets is free from hindrance! Jejeje, our insect army will descend upon this land and we will conquer the whole planet for our own!" the beautiful woman was overjoyed and she instantly threw Gu Hongzi to the back of her mind.
She flew into the sky and left for the North Barren while mumbling, “There is a G.o.d in the North Barren Bai Zhe Clan, he hunted for me when I first arrived in the Ancestral Star. My fellow mother insect G.o.d wouldn"t be able to take him down alone. But with me joining in the fight, we can tear this Bai Zhe G.o.d into pieces. Jejeje, the fragrant of the G.o.ds, the taste they … Oh my, my salivas are streaming down by themselves!”
After she left, a huge crimson fish leaped out from the water surface and a smaller than three feet little figure walked out from the fish"s mouth.
The breeze blew over, and the little figure turned over ten feet tall; it was none other than the hunted prey — Gu Hongzi.
“The insect race invaded? They are in the North Barren Bai Zhe Clan?" Gu Hongzi was shocked, he mulled for a few seconds and immediately flew across the Eastern Sea, leaving for the East Barren.
“If the insect race took over the North Barren, their next target would be the East Barren! I need to get back now, I need to inform the East Barren to be prepared for the insect race!" As he was a bird monster, he could fly at at an immense speed. In addition to his Yuan Shen that fused with the Gu Xia City"s G.o.dly spirit, his speed was even elevated to a new level.
Suddenly, a huge patch of shadow appeared underneath the sea. Gu Hongzi immediately stopped and avoided intercepting the shadow. The waves flowed to the sides, and a huge dragon head emerged from the sea surface. Then, its over hundred-mile-long dragon body emerged as the dragon flew into the sky.
Gu Hongzi was stunned. The immense draconic G.o.dly aura suffused the air and blew straight on his face. The G.o.dly dragon glanced at him one eye and left as if Gu Hongzi was just a bug the dragon G.o.d casually met on its way.
G.o.d of the dragon race! Gu Hongzi tried to calm himself down. The dragon G.o.d was so huge that when he was beside the G.o.dly dragon, he couldn"t even move an inch of muscle at all. It was only after the dragon G.o.d left did he heave a breath of relief before continuing on his journey.
As soon as he arrived in the East Barren, a monstrous G.o.dly blasted into the sky. A monster G.o.d came out from his hermit life and the image of a hundred miles long coiling serpent could be seen on the back of the monster G.o.d.
Gu Hongzi"s heart skipped a beat, and he saw the monster G.o.d leaving for the North Barren!
Our monster race"s G.o.d came out as well? Gu Hongzi soon relaxed his perturbed heart, he thought, It seemed like the monster race had been informed by the Bai Zhe Clan of the insect race"s invasion. If the monster G.o.d acted as well, then I don"t to worry anymore.
Meanwhile, at the same time, the West Barren celestial G.o.ds also rushed toward the North Barren. Even a Zhong Li Martial Divine Master from the South Barren bolted toward there , leaving a beautiful arc across the sky.
Meanwhile, in the Eight Barren demon land across the sea, there were also two demon G.o.ds that emerged and left for the North Barren Frozen Ancient Capital.
The insect invasion was definitely a world-trembling event, it relates to the future of the Ancestral Star and the well-beings of the myriad races. Thus, even the hermit G.o.ds couldn"t neglected it and galvanized into action.
However, with the G.o.ds stepping out form the many Barrens, the Great Wilderness human was quiet as though nothing happened. There wasn"t any G.o.d that appeared.
This clearly showed humanity"s weakness right now.
“The human race seemed to be weak as usual…." The other races clearly picked up the obvious fact and they thought.
Krong——
The Frozen Ancient Capital exploded and was destroyed after 50,000 years of time standing high and tall. Above the ruins of the Frozen Ancient Capital, there were many divine weapons in the sky, shattering the clouds away and quaked the earth.
The battle outcome had been decided as soon as the G.o.ds stepped in. There were only two mother insect G.o.ds against more than five Ancestral Star G.o.ds. One of the mother insect race barely escaped while the other was captured by the demon G.o.ds. However, the Zhu Jian G.o.d abruptly launched a surprise attack and killed the mother insect G.o.d in the demon G.o.ds" hands.
In the Frozen Ancient Capital, in front of the ice palace.
The G.o.ds temporarily stopped the insects from swarming into the Ancestral Star. They had been discussing for days, and an agreement was met. The G.o.ds decided to gather the strongest Qi Pract.i.tioners to enter the tunnel, go to the insect planet and destroy the tunnel from the other end.
“The human Swords Gate did nothing in the battle. So, they will have to send out more experts in this expedition," The South Barren Martial Divine Master said.
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”
