Chapter 505 - Testing

The insect race was not far from the Ancestral Star, they couldn’t imagine what would happen to their homes and people once it arrived.

Even Yanmo He’s face was pale. True, the demon race could manipulate the insects, but the insects were also the demon’s rivals. Back in the ancient days, the insects were just pets to the demons, machines they built to kill. But the accidental emergence of the mother insects were like the birth of brains to the insect race.

They rose from pets to rivals, machines that were meant for killing the others turned on their cretors. The rise of the insect race was accompanied by rivers of demon blood!

Even when Xin Huo was assuring him from the side, Zhong Yue still felt uneasy. He mumbled, “The treasures in the monarch tombs wouldn’t come out and stop the insect race before the insects threaten the tombs. And before that ever happens, the insects would’ve already devoured all of the lives in the Ancestral Star. Xin Huo, do you know of any ways to stop them, to take down the insect planet?”

Xin Huo shook his head and said, “Nope. If you are in the deityhood, I can still control your mortal body and place a slaughtering array that can kill all of the insects in the insect planet. But you are still too weak, there is nothing you can do.”

“Move on! Go forward!" the gods ordered the experts, they said, “Find the end where this path leads us to!”

Zhong Yue walked forward and thought, Even Xin Huo can’t do anything now. It seems like the only way is to break the dimensional tunnel now. This tunnel links the Ancestral Star and insect planet together, it is like a rope, the insects can climb on the rope and reach the Ancestral Star as well as pulling at the rope to bring themselves closer to us! So … if we can cut the rope, the link between us and them will be broken. Without the dimensional tunnel, only gods can travel past the universe to reach us. The other insect Qi Practitioners wouldn’t be able to come at all.

Without a Pure Yang Yuan Shen, no one could tread past the Pure Yang lighting zone. If those insect Qi Practitioners forcibly pushed through the insect race, they would surely be killed by the Pure Yang lighting.

Furthermore, although the insect planet was said to be close to the Ancestral Star, it would still take a long time for the Qi Practitioners to travel through space. And no one other than the gods could survive so long in space without a sufficient supply of breathable air.

As for the insect gods that managed to make it to the Ancestral Star, the Ancestral Star gods would surely take care of the intruders. That would be none of Zhong Yue’s business anymore.

Even if there really were a mother queen that emerged from the insect planet, the Ancestral Star still had Lord Kun, Lord Dragon, the Xiao Mang grand ancestor and others!

Thus, taking down the dimensional tunnel was the only way to save Ancestral Star!

Zhong Yue and the others bolted out on the ice bridge. Suddenly, there were patches and patches of golden clouds flying toward them. The buzz of insect wings could be heard as the insect Qi Practitioners swarmed at them like clouds.

These insects were just low-tier insects, but they were large in number with tens of thousands insect Qi Practitioners were coming in at a time. But what was even more scary was the unknown experts hidden amongst the insect crowds.

Looking at it from afar, these insect Qi Practitioners were like waves and waves of golden waters that billowed at them, pouncing down and crashing to them as if they were the coastline.

The crowd were shocked and terrified, they mustered all their strength and blasted out like nocked arrows let loose, avoiding interception with the insects.

The ice bridge led them straight down underground. After a long time of traveling, they finally reached the underground hole and the insect Qi Practitioners chasing behind them were getting even larger in number.

Without much hesitation, the Ancestral Star experts entered the underground hole and moved along the ice bridge formed by the frozen mother queen mouth.

The insects rushed over and reached the front of the underground cave. All of a sudden, the insect Qi Practitioners swirled like a torrent above the hole but none moved further in. It felt like the insect Qi Practitioners were feared of the hole, yet, showed great respect and awe to it as well.

Suddenly, one of the insect Qi Practitioners opened its eyes and shot out thousands of light beams, blasting at the Ancestral Star Qi Practitioners inside of the underground cave.

Right at that instant, all of the other insect Qi Practitioners opened their eyes and blasted out beams as well.

Tens of thousands of insect Qi Practitioners were flying together in circles, and tens of thousand light beams coalesced together like a drilling machine.

The over tens of thousands of insect Qi Practitioners formed themselves in an array formation. Although it was crude and simple, the array formation could output incredible power, coalescing the powers of the over tens of thousand insect Qi Practitioners into one and directed the concentrated light beam at their enemies!

Swords Gate only barely had 10,000 Qi Practitioners, even for the other races that were stronger than Swords Gate, they wouldn’t be able to form a slaughtering array formation from tens of thousands of Qi Practitioners either!

It wasn’t hard to infer how strong the array formation was!

The tens of gods that were on the back of the expedition were all shocked. As soon as the gods like Bai Yuncang were going to block the incoming attack. Monster god Yu Wenju sneered coldly and said, “Don’t! This strike is exactly done to test out our limits. If we move, the insects will know how strong we are, and they will know how many gods are here! As long as the insect gods aren’t aware of our limits, they won’t dare to come squarely at us!”

Bai Yuncang and the other gods then quickly retracted their skills.

“Then, our Qi Practitioners…," a god looked at the crowd and said reluctantly.

Yu Wenju slowly shook his head in answer, “It’s up to them to decide their own fate.”

The light beam blasted down at the crowd. Bai Yuncang and the other gods were only able to protect their own Qi Practitioners and allowed the light beam to slice through their sides!

Whereas for those Qi Practitioners that weren’t protected by the gods, they were all killed without even able to put up a fight with the light beam!

At the front of the expedition, Zhong Yue immediately flew back. He landed beside Qiu Jin’er, Zuo Xianghseng and the others while shouting at them, “The Lunar Mirror!”

The divine weapon Qiu Jin’er chose to bring into the insect planet was the Lunar Mirror. Upon hearing Zhong Yue’s instruction, she immediately took out the divine mirror and placed it above them.

Zhong Yue, Zuo Xiangsheng, Tian Yanzhong, Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange let out a long whistle and they surged their arcane energy into the mirror.

The Lunar Mirror was Shang Qing’s divine weapon, it was forged by the Shang Zhen God and was capable of reflecting any skills. Zhong Yue acquired the divine weapon when he killed Shang Qing, he hid it in the copper lamp and thus avoided Shang Shen God’s sense when he was returned in the Kun Lun Realm.

After he returned in Swords Gate, he stored it along with the other treasures in Swords Gate vault.

As soon as the Lunar Mirror was cast out and powered by the experts, it grew bigger and covered a radius of a few miles. The light beam stuck down at the mirror and pushed them back for over ten miles far while inflicting heavy damage on them.

But the light beam was also reflected back into the sky!

Instantly, the insect Qi Practitioners took a significant hit, killed by the same light beam they shot out. Their bodies turned into ash and their Yuan Shen disintegrated into the smallest particles.

In that instant, over 10,000 of insect Qi Practitioners were killed!

The light beam was reflected back, but the insects in the array formation were swirling in circles. This created even more casualties as more insect Qi Practitioners were killed by the light beam.

In mid-air, bodies were falling from the sky like rain, and even Imminent Deity insect magnates couldn’t survive the light beam!

After all, the light beam was formed by the amalgamated power of over tens of thousands of insect Qi Practitioners. This was a strike that was meant for the gods. How could ordinary Qi Practitioners ever survive it?

However, it was never in the insect race’s expectation that there would be such a treasure that could reflect the light beam.

After Zhong Yue and the human experts cast out the Lunar Mirror, none of the Qi Practitioners after them were struck by the light beam anymore; they had indirectly saved the lives of the others.

At the moment Zhong Yue and the others cast out the Lunar Mirror, his demon incarnation Mister Bo Xun and the demon concubines gathered behind Zhong Yue as well, staying in safety.

“Hmph! Little child, how dare you!" A cold sneer came from mid-air.

The voices blasted in their ears and struck a great dizziness into Zhong Yue and the others. The image of an insect god appeared inside Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean. She was filled with demonic aura, and it was the skill in her voice that brought part of her strength that could invade into their psyche ocean. She wanted to kill them from within!

This was definitely something that was only capable by gods!

The insect race was created by the demon race, and so they walked the demonic paths just like their creators. This insect god had used a demonic skill, trying to kill them with her demonic voice!

Fang Jiange gave a cold sneer, and a ray of Sword Qi shone bright in his psyche ocean, smiting the insect god image away. Meanwhile, there were godly rays that surged out and plundered the residual energy from the insect god to further hone his divine sword.

As for Gu Hongzi, there was the monster god in his psyche ocean. Surely, he was able to easily kill the insect god image away. Meanwhile, Qiu Jin’er visualized Nuwa in her mind, instantly killing the insect god image. Zuo Xiangsheng a burning fire ocean in his psyche ocean, as soon as the insect god appeared in his psyche ocean, it was incinerated by the fire spark.

But Tian Yanzhong didn’t have any of those. Color started fading away in his psyche ocean, and things started to dry up and wither as the insect god image in his psyche ocean grew bigger.

“Senior Martial Brother Tian, look at my eyes!" Zhong Yue dashed toward Tian Yanzhong and held on his shoulders while staring right into his eyes. Tian Yanzhong gave a loud cry and there demon Qi burst out from his eyes, taking the form of insect claws.

A sun then flew out from Zhong Yue’s left eye while a moon flew out from his right. The two astronomical bodies were cloaked in Yang and Yin Qi respectively while they flew into Tian Yanzhong’s eyes.

Immediately, a blazing sun and a bright moon appeared in Tian Yanzhong’s psyche ocean. The sun and moon hovered in mid-air and shone at the insect god image, melting it away.

Tian Yanzhong’s eyes regained their normal light as he gasped for air. His clothes were soaked in his sweat.

“Little brat, you are unforgivable…”

The insect god said again. Before she even finished her words, the old cleaner of the Zhu Jian Celestial Race launched a skill up into the sky. A deep muffled groan could be heard and green blood splashed down from the sky, burning like fire on the ground.

“Old rascal! I will kill you!" The insect god taken by surprise. She was badly hit by the old cleaner of the Zhu Jian Celestial Race and her voice could be heard leaving further away from them. Clearly, she retreated from the battlefield.

“Continue, press forward!" Yanmo He said.

The underground hole was deep into the core of the planet. It was unknown to them how far they traveled, but the deeper they went, the wider the space was.

Soon, they reached an underground space. There were the statues of gods aligned on the sides of the walkway, each of the statues was over 10,000 feet tall. They were all the insect gods that held solemn and respectful expressions on their faces while they knelt with one leg on the ground.

These statues... it seemed like they were paying respects to something!

“Strange, why did they only come at us twice?”

A god mumbled in confusion, “This doesn’t feel right. Logically speaking, the insect race would continue to try and test out our limits. They wouldn’t let us reach this far so easily. Unless….”

A cold breeze blew into the underground space, and an ear-soothing voice echoed out, “Unless we are waiting for you to come. My dear guests, I welcome you to our most sacred place in the whole insect race —- the great Mother Queen Palace!”
